OP hereCourtesy of WIP I found a link that has the Stahly 7 in 1 paint chart.Forgot to add it but I'm not sure if cats are permanent working links.https://files.catbox.moe/82w72p.pdf
Finished my collage entry
>>98403113I appreciate the OP being a mostly naked black man who smells good, thank you anon
>>98403134Some real big lads right there.>dude on the right's shadowed eyesI've finally found the cheat style to avoid closed eyes and eye painting altogether. Thank you anon.Now I just have to make sure all the minis and the 3rd party minis' eyes are recesses for this to work. Maybe a black contrast then a black wash over it. I'm not quite sure yet.
Is 12mm the most reasonably smallest dice size while still being readable from a distance? I'm asking in case I move to an army that does a comical amount of shooting. They will be white with black dots to be easily replaceable when I lose some.
>>98403109The Chalnath Expanse lore mentions that the Tau are growing effective at putting down GSC after initial frustrations and disasters.
>>98403134Damn I think Aggressors are coolI don't even play Space Marines, but I'm thinking about picking them up for the homebrew chapter I think about occasionally
WHY DO YOU PEOPLE NEED A MILLION GENERALS
>>98403205because its like 60% of traffic on the board, so we hit image limite / 800 replies 2 -3 times a day. sometimes more during peak releases.
Work on Fagnar has begun.
>>98403221Forgot to mention post WIP.
Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98403205We don’t.One general is a troll thread that hasn’t been deleted and the other is an epic40kg thread.
>>98403226Rat is the worse v-whore out there and you should Unironically kill yourself
Why is there so much dislike for custodes?
>>98403235they should never have been a 40k armythey are girls now
>>98403235There are females and they aren't confirmed naked.
>>98403134I hate the truck nuts GW modelled on all these guys. >finishedif you say so
>>98403235We already had a faction of Super Space Marines in Grey Knights and we didn't need another one. Reminder we don't have a Lost & Damned army list because of this shit
Around midnight some of these boxes were put up for 165 bucks, someone instantly added them all to cart and bought themNow I see this guy posting thisHere's the thing- GW doesn't allow official partners to scalp boxes like this. This guy isn't a third party LGS, I'm pretty sure he's some faggot buying boxes off ebay and then flipping them to resell for more, cornering the market jewishly.
>>98403235A lot of SM players see them the say way insane autists see Primaris Marines as "newer better Batman who replaces my Batman" so I think that's the bulk of it. The other stuff comes from them only ever being painted one way, and also their stat checky nature
>>98403276You should narc on him to GW so their Hebraic team of lawyers keelhaul him.
>>98403235A kid on the playground says nuh uh my dudes are even more special and enhanced than your space marines, then asks Donald Trump for advice on aesthetics. They're tacky and gauche and have no flaws that would create and interesting conflict or story. They attract the worst sort of player, one who wants to make the smallest investment and still insists on being seen as the best (and will throw a tantrum when the illusion is shattered). The type of child who leaves a brush in paint water while they take a photo.
>>98403235It never makes any sense for them to join our fights. We always have to come up with super convoluted reasons when my friend's little brother brings his golden boys.
>>98403235People feel like Custodes players didn't "earn it" whenever they do well because they spent £150 total (plus £5 on the gold car primer from amazon) on their army instead of a couple of grand.
also mercury is no longer in retrograde and that usually correlates with market dumps according to sources
>>98403286>The type of child who leaves a brush in paint water while they take a photo.That was uncalled for
Why do "My faction is the good guy" fags always moralfag about the other factions while ignoring the equivalent shit their's does?Also why can't they be happy with "Oh Imperium, Eldar, Votann, Tau are the good guys/order compared to everyone else" they go "nuuh uuh only one of them is only good because *insert shit reasoning here*"
>>98403354if they're delusional enough to think 'their guys' are good they are proving they don't care about lore, and will say whatever they want to believe is true
>>98403294>how dare you spend less money on this hobby than meWeird to think there are people who think like this in the world. Just bizarre.
>>98403359>>98403354It's just right-wingers/chuds identifying with the Imperium and projecting onto it, so when they insist that the Imperials are good guys they are actually saying that they themselves are the good guys.On the other side of the coin are the woketards and leftists who adopt the factions that oppose the Imperium as a counterculture move. Both groups of retards don't care for the setting or the game. They are just using it as a vehicle for the culture war.
>>98403368There are some people who genuinely act like your moral values have to align with the faction you play. Which is insane logic for a silly little murder sports game. But some people make their hobbies a big part of their identity and have trouble separating the banter between factions with insults levied at their players.
>>98403368Also, notice that most of them are fucking American. The toxicity of their cultural discourse is infecting many fandoms, and it's getting unbearable in 40K.We need to nuke the US....
>>98403354Because they are stupid and fundamentally don't understand the setting, it's that simple.Every guy who unironically goes "imperium is the good guys because they are human" is entirely missing the forest for the trees and missing the point.They are unironically the types of people who say that any of the objectively inhuman and evil shit the imperium does is justified because they are "human", to them it doesn't how horrific the shit gets it's "preferable to extinction".I'd rather have humanity become extinct than discard my morals or the morals of the human species down the drain, because that thinking eventually it just leads to a society like that of the dark eldar or even chaos. Which are objectively evil.
>>98403354>"nuuh uuh only one of them is only good because *insert shit reasoning here*"This is the part which annoys me. I have 0 problems with people saying Imperium is one of the good guys, they are imo.But the imperialfags saying they are the only good guys because they are human is shit logic. Self-inserting isn't an argument that decides what is good in a setting. If elves were real they could say the same for Eldar etc.Te good guys in 40K are the ones who are not trying to slaughter the galaxy of their own, but trying to survive and forge a future for their species. They fight each other, but that isn't good vs evil it's just one group's interest vs another's. I'm an ethno-nationalist and I will support my ethnic group's interest, but that doesn't make my ethnic group the objective good guys of planet earth. Other groups have their own interests,and we simply choose to prioritize our own groups over the other. When it comes to good vs evil, you can do the previously mentioned shit in a good way, or an evil way, that's the morality part, but in-group prefrence is neutral & natural, just different interests.
>>98403393>who are not trying to slaughter the galaxy of their ownwho are not trying to slaughter the galaxy for the lols or to reap souls for the dark gods*idk how i butchered that
>>98403393Based chud
>>98403354But I like the evil parts of Votann. I like the part where they make planets into royal wine which they drink for psychic powers.
>>98403416I though votann used "planet eaters" just for extracting ores/minerals though? They are just dwarves but in space.
>>98403424ignore anon, he's a schizo
Exodite boxes got nuked in minutes. Hundreds of them are on eBay.
>>98403447Damn, that bad of a release?
>>98403451Yeah.
>>98403447Jesus that was fast. They're already getting flipped for almost double the price.
>>98403451Bad for who? James Workshop is laughing all the way to the bank.
>>98403514Is he though? They are just elves, no one buys them.
>>98403268Where tf are your models?
>they/them exoditewhat wrong with bonglanders?
I don't know if I am late to the party, since I am not a terminally, but yeah, this is straight dogshit.
>>98403354I always thought the appeal of 40k was everyone was shitty. It's the epitome of like... my faction is awful but you can root for the anti heroes... who basically are heroes anyway because the other guy is always worse.Take marines, they will kill a million innocent people if ordered too but on screen they rarely are shown doing it. So you can root for the Titus types, or enjoy being a scum bag like the Minotaurs.The sisters are fanatical monsters who will torture anyone who shows a lack of faith, and burn down functional wars of trivial issues of religious doctrine. But they also can heroically stand against demons, that same faith a positive quality in a different light.This applies to almost every faction except chaos and tyranids really, who exist to just be plainly evil/antagonistic and that can be fun to roleplay as well.The great success of 40k was that by stealing everything from pop culture and distilling it into a soup there is something for everyone, and everything is multi-faceted.Retards/newfags to 40k will read one short story that depicts their faction or favorite character heroically and that's where their brain stops. For them that's the final answer. Its simply a case of them being inferior people, which is not a moral failing so much as it is annoying. Nuance is beyond them. Ironically, this nuance is part of why 40k actually IS a satirical and hyperbolic setting by its nature but often these are the people who screech its satire while completely not fucking getting it.
>see someone spamming the lgs group chat>profile pic is some cartoon bullshit, badly painted models, keeps going on about some meme list they are runningIts always some unbearable autist that smells bad, every time
>>98403518You responded to a post that said they sold out instantly.
>>98403530You post in this general anon, pot calling the kettle black?
>>98403528getting triggered by every neo pronoun in modern corporate media must be exhausting
>>98403528Mike Brooks did it
>>98403530I like them, thought I wish they were a little less alien and a little more like fantasy cold ones. The riders are 100% pure and unadulterated elf kino.
>>98403534Apparently they already decided ahead of time that even if the box sells out its still a flop
>>98403542its genuinely impossible to tell how successful any kill team product is because it will be hyper scalped as soon as it releases. Its a coin flip if the scalpers lose money on them or not.
>>98403535I am not "terminally online" as the youth say.I just got shown this preview, I do not know how long it is public. I never meant to disrespect the anons here.I just wanted to say two things, really.1) I do not know, if I am very late with this information, but here is my opinion:2) An Eldar riding an AOS style seraphon is so incredibly lame, I genuinely fail to put it into wordsThis feels like a bad fanfiction. The fact that, apparently, the kit is already sold out is just mind-boggling.
>>98403538Perhaps I lack the appreciation for Eldar model kits. If you enjoy it, I am happy for you. I never should have gotten angry over a faction, I basically have to stake in.
Can exodites be allied to a hypothetical drukhari army?
>>98403559no
>>98403559you're cringe on multiple levels for wanting this.
>>98403551Why would scalpers' profits in any way be a metric for how successful a release is? You gauge success by sales at MSRP or LGS discount prices, not whatever scalpers are charging.>if people really wanted them they'd pay anything!no
>>98403519
>the arms and legs are interchangeableDamn, so even the mounts are customizable and they're not just three monopose bases
>>98403552They got mixed reception, from people cheering loudly at seeing exodite kits for the first time to people who prefer some kitbashes or wanted something more savage or high tech or wood elf like or bigger or whatever. Not liking them is perfectly ok, but the kit clearly has enough demand since it sold out instantly as Kill Team specials often do.
>>98403562I just wanna soup my elfy boys together.
>>98403567Scalpers don't make GW money but they do prove that there is higher demand for the product than GW can currently supply
>>98403559Go choke on slaanesh's sloppy seconds.
IS there even allying in this edition?
>>98403232Warhammer 40k?
>>98403559The Exodites hate the Dark Eldar because they're like the best quality slaves in the galaxy, being able to both work at higher skill levels and experience deeper lots of despair, and they constantly prey upon them. Even if they were press-ganged into service they wouldn't be Dragon Knights and they would probably just ride jetbikes or something instead.
>>98403552
>>98403590The human-like arms make it look really goofy. I think some people are into that sort of thing though, no judgement.
>>98403587Only within certain faction army rules.GSC have IG Brood Brothers and Nids Final DayCWE and DW have Harley/Corsair travelling players and Ynnari for each other Knights have AdMech and CKnights have Cultist detachments Knights can be allied into any Imperium/Chaos armyChaos Demons can be allied into any Chaos armyImperial Agents can be allied into any Imperium Army
>>98403559like asking if the Amish would be allied to the Church of Satan
>>98403559Dark Elves with dinosaurs? What a preposterous notion.>>98403594Yeah, personally I prefer the old cold one proportions to these new dragons. Feel like they were designed by the same scaly who did the AoS dragons
>>98403601man dark elves are so fucking lame.
Where are the combat patrol rules and missions? I can't find it on the mobile app.
>>98403584rude
>>98403607In the app, the mission sequence for Combat Patrol is in the reference section, just above the core rules. The missions are in the war journal there, just start a match and select combat patrol instead of a regular game. Rules for specific combat patrols are under their factions.
>>98403613That sucks. I'm on the free version so I need to remove my existing roster to put a new one JUST to see what each faction's combat patrol does.
>>98403615No, you don't. Go to whatever faction you're interested in under reference and you can see their combat patrol there.
I don't think I like any part of 40k anymore
>>98403656not even orks? D:
>>98403664I hate orks :(
>>98403656The truth is, you never did.
>>98403235They are golden super space marines.These should have stayed in 30k.
>>98403670you will not be missed
>>98403536ntab ironic
>>98403528Source? Where are you getting the image from?
>>98403676no I did, just everything has rotted or I realised wasn't good in the first placethe models are very hit or missthe game isn't fun to playthe lore is dogshit (especially blacked library)the fanbase is AIDSI have to tolerate with people who just don't care about anything at my LGS and get offended when you have a form of standards, god forbid I want to play against painted models (even if its a shit paintjob) with painted terrain on a board that actually looks good instead of the most barebones cheapest thing possibleat least here people actually engage with the hobby as a whole
>>98403528>picks the pronoun faction>gets upset by pronouns in said pronoun faction
>>98403705Eldar have only become the "pronoun faction" within the last 5 years due to the influence of subhuman faggots like Brooks (who ought to be shot dead).
?No.Gav was talking about non-binary Eldar years ago.
>>98403676>New bad>NUH-UHEverytime
>>98403702tale of painters upload whole unpacking video and show all KT book pages>>98403705>pronoun factionthat beguns after 2024
>>98403722>>98403725>Eldars are pozzed now>No, eldars have been pozzed for longerWeirdest argument
>>98403567Because something like the IA battleforce box initially had high sales due to scalpers then sat on shelves for years. Selling out initially isn't really a good gauge because of scalping, they are retarded and auto purchase all stock immediately. What is really a good gauge is how much the scalpers are selling them for, and they are selling REAL high this time even by kill team standards. Which is kind of incredible because they are bundled with a bunch of orc models most people dont want. So we can infer the demand for the dinos is actually some of the highest we have seen for kill team ever.tl;dr not a flop
>>98403235It's interesting no one so far has said they are also not fun to play into. I have a regular custodes opponent and have played through the abuses and OP combos. They are very tough and very deadly. I kid you know there are many times when many of my units tried to take down one guy and nothing. Doesn't feel the same playing into them as other armies.
>>98403594Almost everyone I've seen prefers the velociraptor proportions to the humanoid arms, but I took it as them trying to make them more alien. maybe >>98403601 like this post says its some furry injecting their fetish or something.
Why are people excited about Kill Team Exodites? What is exciting about eldar riding dinosaurs?
>>98403730Based editBoth Gav Thorpe and Mike Brooks ought to be flayed alive.
>>98403730>tale of paintersI am not seeing it on his channel.
>>98403743You shit your sweatpants when you see a """new""" primaris intercessor with a slightly different looking helmet. Shut the fuck up.
>>98403742Ghost Stag is probably the best colour scheme of those three
>>98403743Nobody is excited.>But it sold out immediately!Yeah, by scalpers with bots lmao.
>>98403742Ghost Stag color scheme goes hard. Might color my exodites kind of like that, with perhaps more ghostly blue lighting.Gonna go full Regal Ancestor Spirit mode iwth themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7ErJC9a0bI>>98403743Because they are fucking cool that's why.
>>98403747i'll spoonfeed you this timehttps://youtu.be/mAZLUwiocVI?si=NajtLqM7aauDpvOY>>98403745+
>>98403742Thank you mr Goodwin, very cool.Infantry when?
>>98403740>its some furry injecting their fetish or something.That and I bet the monkey brained designers thought it could be wicked cool if the dinos could grab people in a fight. I bet they wanted to give them swords and pistols too but someone with a clear head said no.
>>98403742That Sable Wing lore is very interesting with what it implies. Does every planet in the galaxy have a nascent world spirit? Are exodite worlds just ones where the exodites have cultivated that spirit into what they are?
we are waiting for them to be released separately
>>98403722>>98403730sorry to tell you this, but they were always spiritually the pronoun faction. they were just waiting for pronouns to be in vogue to receive it.
>>98403760Shouldn't GW DMCA him?
There is no we.
>borderline subhuman braindead scalpers with bots buy up the entire stock of New Product X in seconds >OMG GUYS ITS TOTALLY SUPER POPULARi bet you my cock and balls that i will literally not see a single mf play exodites at my LGS
>>98403766Exodite worlds are worlds settled by exodites. They are typically maiden worlds. Maiden worlds are worlds that were cultivated in ancient times by the eldar.
>>98403768motherfuckers will call eldar gay and their players fags and then get mad when the gay eldar start using the snowflake pronouns.
>>98403775I know. I was just wondering what the lore about the Sable Wing Clan seeding new worlds with psychocrystaline menhirs and attempting to awaken the world spirits of the planets was referring to. As in, is it a reference to just maiden worlds scattered across the galaxy or any random world.
>>98403772the mohel took half your pecker when you were born, chud boy!
>>98403776People who call eldar gay are just fucking tasteles retards. Especially if the armies they themselves collect are fucking space marines which are infinitely more homosexual than any eldar army could ever even hope to be
>>98403530The mount looks like shit, and I honestly think it's a repurposed Sylvaneth design that didn't make the cut for AoS. Those arms look like they were designed to be holding a weapon and shield. The rider looks good though, minus the feather plume. The feather and fur GW slaps on everything looks terrible, I blame it on incompetent and lazy digital sculpting.
>>98403766>Does every planet in the galaxy have a nascent world spirit?That is what it implies, yes. Maybe the Emperor wasn't actually insane for saying that if Terra is destroyed, Humanity dies with it.
>>98403780hey man, stop ripping up old woundsi still feel phantom pain from my foreskin
>>98403789It always seemed obvious that Fenris has an active World Spirit, though it's never explicitly referred to that way. The fact space wolf priest use runes to communicate with it seems on the nose too
>>98403531>every faction except chaosI think that fledgling renegades still fit the bill when they're still desperate and idealistic. But the slow ride degeneration into complete and utter evil is half the fun of the faction.
It makes sense that human women would fuck Eldar males while Eldar women wouldn't fuck human men.Women don't date down, Eldar men are amazing, human men are wothless ranjeets.
>>98403795>phantom painAND YOU CAN'T EVEN SAYMY NAME
>>98403766>Does every planet in the galaxy have a nascent world spirit?Yes.
>>98403801The Wolves talk about the World Spirit of Fenris.Also, beneath the planet's surface is a massive reservoir of geomantic energy.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98403788Sylvaneth have strong insect theam, they wouldn't be riding dinosaurs
>Exodites mutilating and killing an Ethereal. Why does GW hate the Tau?
>>98403801I've never been into spesh wolves so fenris having a world spirit is news to me. If so, that is a pretty cool detail.
>>98403761>dinosaur RIDERS>infantry use rangers
Cool. The Exodite Kill Team campaign has 8 separate endings depending on the outcome of the games.
>>98403766>Does every planet in the galaxy have a nascent world spirit?Yes, warhammer is fundamentally animistic
So is this the thread?
>>98403816Space Wolf rune magic is also likely inspired by Eldar rune magic.
>>98403705>he thinks it's only Eldarlol. lmao. Mike Brooks put a xir/xem Techpriest in Son of the Forest.
>>98403828That's what happens when you trust knife ears
>>98403844It's also got lots of stuff for detailing your own maiden world.That book is MEATY for a simple kill team dossier. It looks more like a mini codex supplement almost. I think they definitely have more planned for the subfaction.
>>98403828Sounds like Exodites are based to me. 40k needs a little more of that old-timey xenophobia, everyone's way too sane and rational nowadays.
>>98403824Fuck me, I meant Seraphon. I can't remember all of GW's retarded copyrightable names.
>>98403750Brother I am a necron player.
>>98403850>>98403832It's really a shame that there are lots of interesting things going on with Space Wolves that get glossed over by the... Wolf blood curse and wolf totem obsession thing. They do have some interesting depths but have been so Flanderized by the community and also GW themselves.
>>98403869>Codex loreAbsolute mad men fucking things up for the sake of dogma, paranoia, and prejudice>Book LoreRational actors fighting an inexorable tide lamenting the necessary evils they must do
>>98403859I think you got that mixed up with a different book.
>>98403750>>98403872I think one of the understated negatives of Marines being the overwhelming most popular faction is everyone just default assumes whoever they are talking to is most likely a marine player with marine player opinions. And they're probably right in most cases but it still taints every conversation with bad faith assumptions.
>>98403113>What's some wargaming etiquette from your LGS to play Warhammer 40k that ranges from basic manners to weird customs?I don't go to the LGS for games but at the Club I play at we have one important rule: You can drink and get stoned but you can't get so intoxicated that it you can't play properly.
>>98403883nope, I just misremembered as xir/xem when it was another they/them. Still fagged out as typical Brooks shit>Valdax emits a burst of crackling static that is nonetheless interpretable as displeased hissing through teeth, had they still had them. ‘I wouldn’t want to interface myself with it, that’s for sure.’
Exodite women will never fuck human men
>>98403859Not taking a side in any debate here but weird pronouns and name and title designations in general kind of fits the dehumanizing theme of AdMech. I mean some of them are literally nothing but a brain stem in a mechanical shell and most of their brain isn't even organic anymore or fused amalgams of multiple priests together into one being like Cawl.
>>98403828I like the T'auFuck Ethereals, be absolutely deserved it
https://files.catbox.moe/2tmor8.pngThe actual eldar women x human male interaction.
>>98403880The earlier BL novels had a lot more of the former. I still remember the Last Chancers where the commissar in charge brings in a complete idiot pseudo-scientist to try and purge the daemonic possession from Kage's soul, who cuts his brain open and drains his bodily humors and calls it a job well done (he accomplished nothing except shaving a few IQ points off of Kage). Or his '''friend'', the female clone of Macharius, who decides she's going to murder him over a misunderstanding. Characters were allowed to be complete scum and assholes who would murder each other over the smallest inconvenience.
>>98403895you know that isn't true.
>>98403531>The great success of 40k was that by stealing everything from pop culture and distilling it into a soup there is something for everyone, and everything is multi-faceted.But muh proper 40k aesthetic and some armies not fit because muh not proper!!!
>>98403910Weird ass family
>>98403913You still have to get the tone right. If Tau were actually noble bright big tiddy anime women, the people who whine about them would actually have a point.
>>98403920They have a genetic predisposition to lust for human cock.
what would it take to see a return to this art style
>>98399943Sorry, anon from last thread, had a busy dayThe color for the green details is citadel color, tesseract glow. It's a good technical wash but you need to shake the hell out of it to mix it properly.I feel it's important to convey that my tyranids explode into glowing green slime when shot.
>>98403897it honestly makes me angrier because it acknowledges how ad mech would dehumanize people and turn them into more machine than man, but then doesn’t go the extra mile and call ad mech “it” ITS A LITERAL PRONOUN FOR AN INANIMATE OBJECT LIKE A MACHINE!ITS RIGHT THERE!
>>98403934forgot my pic
>>98403742Ghost Stag is definitely the clear winner here but none of them are really "bad" either, which is nice.
>>98403931They would have to rehire Adrian Smith and give him a partial lobotomy to make him forget everything he learned about drawing in the past thirty-five years.
>reddit is seething about exodites being sold outhahahahhahahahaha
>>98403931Better pay and work for artists. It's beyond an industry problem, every business that exists worked together to kill art and now all we get is slop.
>>98403951Scalpers really went for it this time.

which imperium army is the chad choice
>>98403354but my faction is are the good guysthey're only doing bad things to people that really really deserve it
>>98403568>modeposter shitting on another modelposterthats not how we do things around here, unless those arent your models
>>98404022Word Bearers desu are the only good guys in the setting cause they're the only ones who are 100% genuine that they hate everyone and everything and just want the universe to suffer
>>98404010votaan :)
my faction are the guysthey do things
>>98404010Imperial Agents
They are going to rip off Cameron's Avatar with Exodite and Votann at some point, aren't they?
Lorebros, I need your help. I plan on playing a game against my friend soon where im orks and he will be playing space wolves. I'm only interested in fielding shit that is thematic, and given i know fuck all about the lore I don't know what units would suit such a match up. He has access to most named characters (with the exception of bjorn), the only reference i have for something like this is that prophecy of the wolf boxset, which has both ragnar and ghaz in it. Think hes got 2 combat patrols and a bunch of other shit like a land raider, i have access to most ork units with the exception of most speed freek ones
>>98404049>xenos vs xenoslol no. it’ll be catachans at best, and space marines in invictor tactical warsuits at worst.
>>98404049Yes, Votann will finally get their mech suit.
is 10 armies too many
>>98404041>WE ARE THE GUYYYS>WE CARRY THE THINGGG
>>98404049xenos vs. xenos doesn't sell
>>98404067I what context? To own?
>>98404043a hereticus force would be cool
>>98403910Sylvanas a shit. Her fanboys justifying her a shit. I miss Arthas.
>>98404079No, to write bdsm smut fanfiction about.
>>98404079yes
>>98404078What about xenos sexing other xenos?
>>98403354My dudes are bad guys.They commit violent space piracy for fun and genocide entire populations for living on planets an eldar once landed his pleasure barge on once five million years ago.
>>98404041We are JUST anon, not as much as dark eldar but they get off over being JUST
>>98404086sounds based
>>98404066fuck off destinyfag
>>98403954I think its more to do with the safe homogenization/corporatization of artWealth stratification is giving more and more cultural influence to these major corporations which are choosing to prioritize safe homogenized decisions over interesting innovative onesIts been like this even before AI came onto the sceneAI is just another layer of abuse artists and the working (peasant) class have to tolerate now
>>98404084I Mena it's your money, but it sound like you'd need a LOT of space.>>98404083Link me that fic when it's done, or you are a coward
>>98404058Fenris is a stone's throw away from Armageddon and not that far from Golgotha in the scheme of things. The entire area is absolutely infested with Orks so Goffs vs. Space Wolves is pretty easily justifiable along with a lot of other combinations.
>>98404090somebody has to play the bad guys or everything falls apart
>>98404008Yes. Also free speech should be restricted to only things I specifically like.
>>98404100Ty anon, luckily I play goffs so ill just field whatever looks fun
What's a good army for when a brotha is feeling a lil Chinese?
>>98404116White scars but just pretend they aren't based off mongols
apparently spirit stones don't come exclusively from crone worlds
>>98404116Remind him to fuck Claire.
What's the excuse for certain daemonic units not being usable in 40k?
>>98404135>What's the excusePLEASE PLAY OUR AGE OF SLOPMAR GAME
>>98404116Tell him to do a Lu Bu inspired army. Possibly renegades or csm given they're traitors.
>>9840413540k can coast because it's so secure. AoS has to try unlike 40k.
>>98404135there's no excuse
>>98404127We've known that webway gates will occasionally produce a few waystones for a long time
>>98404127also the normal dragon riders are painted with the iconography of this subfaction, the one who goes to war with larger beasts as well and not just the normal steedsit's happening
>>98404151
>>98404116I feel like an IG regiment based off the Chinese Expeditionary Force would be super cool but GW will never do it.
>>98404141what exactly is it trying with half its model range being obese brown women?
>>98404029>wepost your models, tourist
I now realized Cathay has no Lu Bu equivalent. I guess none of the dragons ended up going Chaos like the Primarchs.
>>98404143Have we?
>>98404164To satisfy my penis.
Why does everyone love Garviel Loken?
>>98404164Making me very very horny.
>>98404161the bracelets are very sus
>>98404164they had to put in something to keep Blackrock happy. They know damn well nobody's buying Shitties of Shitmar
>>98404171The dragons would never tolerate wannabe tyrants like Lu Bu and Dong Zhou. They'd lose their heads faster than you can say "Evil Women"
>>98404116Tau obviously. Maybe an asian themed IG (are there chinese civil war minis?). Bet Tau fit them so well.>elder worship>(not!) Confucianism >caste system and advanced civil bureaucracy>torn between extremely high tech state troops and rural peasants (auxiliaries) Tau touch on themes from throughout China's history from the ancient to the modern, though the devs didn't really intend it to be Chinese more so just East Asian (japanese anime).
>>98404175Because he tried so hard and got so farbut in the end it didn't even matter
>>98404116Any 3rd party suppliers for power weapons in pic form?
>>98404172I recall seeing mention of it in, I think, Path of the Outcast when Aradryan is learning about how the Craftworlds acquire waystones. Or was it a codex? Anyways I know it's mentioned somewhere before this.
>>98404175Terminally shit taste. Same as everyone who has an interest in the Heresy
>>98404164Please tell me "obese" means "fat ass".
>>98404171ngl Zhao Ming kind of has lu bu vibes.
>>98404165Now that we've gotten that out of the way, you need to be a bit nicer to other model posters anon
>>98404179bracelets are gw winking at you about the fact you can cut and rotate the wrists with minimal issues
>>98404175hes just a decent space marine lead. he criticizes the system and is more thoughtful as befits a main character. but thats kind of a rare trait in space marines. so it makes him stand out. also people like his proto deathwatch primarch assassination squad.He has a couple really good scenes, like when he plays chess versus Russ, fails to assassinate Horus, etc
What happened to the ultramarines mummy?
>>98404183But he would be one of the dragons or at least some big name figure.
>>98404195No. No it does not.
>>98404207That body is malnourished and I am disappointed. I bet she has none of the ass I seek.
>>98404207shes not obese, but here we see the white man in his rightful place as a servants to the superior celestial black woman.
>>98404207Jesus Christ how horrifying
>>98404207That's obese?
>>98404213You are correct. She's an ugly, stupid bitch who is also retarded and orders that no wheels can be used in the cities her cult has sway. Because wheels are sacred, and therefore using them on carts and vehicles is evil and wrong. So she forces every city she has power in to carry everything by foot, massively reducing the efficiency of cargo shipping by a factor of one hundred. Age of Shitmar would have us believe that despite being literally retarded and an ugly pile of bones, she's a Sigmar-blessed hero who can single-handedly strike down Chaos Warriors from her palanquin.
>>98404217IIRC the lady in front is hinted to just be a disguise anyway, the skeleton riding in the back is the true form.
>>98404225This sounds extremely Warhammer. Retarded rules that infringe on common sense based on some quasi-religious belief that doesn't respect the wishes of any predecessors or founders of her civilization. Please tell me she whips pregnant women to death or violates thermodynamics by feeding herself from dead people all the time.
>>98404078Fine, it will be a Gue'vesa fleet coming to claim a maiden world from Exodites then.
>>98404214>>98404225>usual suspects acting weird againNever fails.
>>98404214>>98404217It is obese. Anyone who weighs above 1 kg is more obese than an 2000s supermodel.
>>98404238Her carriers seem to have a very high turnover rate even when not wounded in battle or whatever, which implies she's kind of stealing their lifeforce to maintain her corporeal form.
Reminder that Space Marines can eat their own recycled and processed shit for days. Their metabolism can survive the nutrients the food would've ran out of.
>>98404246Very good. The Imperium would approve.
>>98403870It's easy. Lizards are Angels of Order so they got renamed after Seraphims
ngl nu termiantors look like dogshit. They should have taken more liberties with the design.
>>98404241>it will be a Gue'vesa fleet coming to claim a maiden world from Exodites then.That is way too good of an idea for GW to actually do it.
>>98404242Please explain to me in detail how explaining the backstory of an ugly stupid bitch who violently massacres ordinary people for using wheels as tools is 'suspicious'
>>98404207The exact model that stopped me buying an Age of Sigmar army, until this was revealed I was about to start with Cities of Sigmar because all the infantry and especially cavalry guys looked so cool in the previews. Pic related is now my stance on AoS.
I like these.
>preorder exodite box on a website>Payment processing is being buggy as fuck>Order goes through, shows up on my account, confirmation email>But payment was rejected>Order on account says in progress but there's no option to try a different payment method or anything like.So, what the fuck do I do? I already contacted support but probably no replies this weekend. Im fucked arent I?
ngl nu termiantors look like awesome. It's great they look exactly the same as before.
>>98404258fuck off destinyfag
>>98404247if their digestive system was efficient there would be no resources left in the fecesso if they can eat their feces and survive a long time it means that their digestion is actually terribleprobably lots of gas too
>>98404258Rock Raiders is unironically a good color scheme.
>>98404258Kino. I think I'll go for mars mission personally.
>>98404261Many are saying this
Tell me about Astartes booty.
>>98404258Ice Planet and Rock Raiders are actually legitimately good color patterns for Votann
>>98404198Painting claws the same as the rock looks weird.
>>98404198I think my issue with nids is that all of the heads look the same, they really should have been more crazy with them. There is also the dick guns.
>>98404285Reminds me of pic
>>98404289Is this better?
>>98404278for every heroic last stand there are hundreds of ignoble deaths by rear armour breach
Has anyone tried to play the new edition with last edition's crusade rules?
>>98404289Nids armor autism is homegrown.
>>98404256hes implying we are black. usual suspects is a nazi dogwhistle that implies bad behavior from lesser races is normal. so like, if you see a black guy steal something you go "usual suspects". basically implying only black people would make fun of his sperg out.
>>98403905Lol
I can't believe the marine socials are having a melt down over this model just because it is painted as an Ultramarine again. Like I understood the salt over the named character a couple weeks ago but this is just a generic marine that happens to be painted blue. No one is stopping you from making it a Blood Angels model or anything else!
>>98404317They aren't actually mad they are just trying to fit in.Its easier for retards to just spout ultramarine bad than talk about how they would paint it differently.
>>98404317it has Ultramarine trimming on the armor dumbass, it doesn't matter what you paint it, it'll always be an Ultramarine mini.
>>98404328>Ultramarine trimming
>>98404317Now that I have seen Juren above, I now imagine that marine doing poses and attacks like Black Prior.
>>98404197Did someone say horses?
>>98404328It does not, retard.
>>98404331>>98404347You blind faggots, look at his gay ass iron halo, his belt, look at his kneepads, you'll know that mini is an Ultramarine no matter what you paint it as.
>>98404327>Its easier for retards to just spout ultramarine bad than talk about how they would paint it differently.Also ragebait the algo.
>>98404352none of that is ultramarine you pleb
>>98404352Are you okay anon?
>>98404355The Iron Halo you can make a very weak argument that even if they're far less common in other chapters, they do exist as rare relics and can pass for some other chapter. You can't say the same about that belt and the kneepads, those are Ultramarine-specific adornments.>>98404357Are you retarded?
>>98404352The Iron Halo just has a skull on it, where the fuck do you see Ultras iconography?>his beltThat's a generic belt buckle there is no Ultra symbol.>look at his kneepadsThere is nothing modeled on the kneepads but a skull. Everything on that model is generic Veteran shit, zero Ultramarines.You are such a stupid newfaggot.
>>98404278
>>98404361Leather strips are not specific to Ultras and I don't see how anything about the knee pads is either, it's just a flare with little ridged pyramids?
>>98404317He literally has ultramarine shit all over him, hes got the ultra belt and the ultra knee. No other chapter does the gay ass roman pelt thing.
>>98404361>Retard thinks iron halos are UM specific>Retard thinks no other chapters have ornate trim on knees>Retard thinks no other chapters have pteruges over their dicksThere is literally nothing sculpted on that model that is faction specific, the Armageddon captain that just released that is a blood angel on the cover has the same pteruges and knee trim and an iron haloKill yourself you retarded fucking tourist
>>98404361Iron Halos aren't an ultramarine thing they're a fucking generic piece of equipment that nearly all Chapters use, what the FUCK are you smoking? Retarded newfaggots need to lurk moar.
>>98404361You have to be genuinely fucking stupid or trolling at this point. Last (You)
>>98404361>The Iron Halo you can make a very weak argument that even if they're far less common in other chapters, they do exist as rare relics and can pass for some other chapter.Iron Halos have been standard wargear for Captains for ten years anon
this has to be bait
>>98404364>The Iron Halo just has a skull on it, where the fuck do you see Ultras iconography?The Smurfs are the only chapter so rich they can give out Iron Halos to random marines. >That's a generic belt buckle there is no Ultra symbol.Not the buckle, the LEATHER FUCKING BELT you blind little bitch, with the frilly dangly leather strips like a Roman gladiator. No other chapters wear shit that gay>There is nothing modeled on the kneepads but a skull.look at the goddamn trimming on the kneepads you retarded fucking nigger goddamnit I am getting ragebaited by you blind little shits
>>98404369There's nothing specific about his knees, there's a skull on one that literally every faction in the imperium usesAnd the leather straps aren't specific either, there's a whole entire fucking mark of terminator armor covered in those straps you braindead tertiary
>100 British pounds for 3 new models>14 models they couldn’t get rid of by selling>and 0 terrain but instructions on how to build your own (materials not included)>sells like gangbustersKT is just gonna get less and less value over time.
>>98404378>there's a whole entire fucking mark of terminator armor covered in those straps you braindead tertiarylink. if its horus heresy shit it doesnt matter because that shit isnt canon.
>>98404368>Leather strips are not specific to Ultras Oh this ROMAN BELT isn't specific to Smurfs? Got it, you're retarded.>>98404370>>98404371>>98404372>>98404373Blind retards, every last one of you. Paint this mini whatever you want, it'll always be an Ultramarine. It was designed as an Ultrmarine, you'd have to be deliberately trolling to pretend otherwise.
>>98404374>>98404378Stop falling for bait, pls.
bait bait bait
>>98404383Not only is Cataphractii armor canon, it has a datasheet.
>>98404376All chapters give their bgv iron halos touristYou can still admit you were just pretending to be retarded it's okay
>>98404388oh so it is horus heresy. I direct you to the horus heresy general, this is the 40k general. I dont care about your gay yaoi homu butt sex setting.
>>98404385There is nothing unique about the belt beyond the straps, it's a normal belt, Intercessors wear them even
You niggers stop engaging with the mass debaiter.
>>98404383They're in 40k as well.
>>98404390>All chapters give their bgv iron halos touristIron Halos are sacred relics, not standard wargear. They don't get handed out to ordinary marines like this miniature, that's not even a Captain or a Lieutenant, it's just a regular fucking veteran. The only chapter that has such a trove of resources it can afford to be so wasteful is the Ultrasmurfs. Because GW LOVES them.
>>98404397that shit is fucking gay and homosexual and your a faggoty little fairy for knowing what it is.
>>98404402It's such a bad fucking pose
>>98404397Am I the only one who thinks this looks really ugly? I don't have anything against HH but its aesthetic seems so bad to me. Everything is so angular in a weird way, like its trying to be different without being concerned about being good.
>>98404400>They don't get handed out to ordinary marines
>Over 300 replies>5 people have posted their dudesnice general.
>>98404400You lost
>>98404307nigga talmbout some nazis in 40kg lmao relax bud
>>98404411what the fuck is this garbage image you just posted? Are you actually telling me GW started handing out Iron Halos to regular marines? Fuck me I hate this faggot ass game now
>>98404385Behold, an Ultramarine
>>98404416Kill yourself.
>>98404416Anon they have white helmets. They're vets. Are you smoking weed again?
>>98404416Those are Veterans
>>98404376>>98404385this guy is pissed lmaoyoure wrong get over itif you think the model is smurf-coded you can dodge it but its just a generic captain
>>98404416NTA but I'm sorry to tell you this but the idea that wargear are these holy relics handed down got abandoned back in 8th edition with primaris coming out. Now everything exists in as much abundance as they need. The whole scarcity due to society failing theme is just completely gone in favor of horus heresy style ultraviolence. Remember how for 20-30 years of warhammer history fluff talked about how the rhino had served humanity for twenty thousand years? Yea, thats not a thing anymore. Now cawl just shits out a superior design because superhero Girlyman said so. Thats just the way it is. Sorry to break the news.
>>98404416You could give veterans iron halos all the way back in 4th edition but nice try tourist
>>98404433I can tolerate a lot of retarded lies but not this one. You're full of shit.
just witnessed a samefag
>>98404413this is the 40k general my dude if you want to see models thats what the WIP general is forThis isnt the modeling generalSometimes people post their dudes but that isnt the exclusive purpose of these threads like some of you clowns act like it isThis thread is for discussing all things 40k
>>98404400The fact that the Ultramarines recognize that war is not one on the battlefield but on the assembly line is one of the coolest aspects of their lore. I'm not even an Ultramarine player (Orks and Eldar) and I still think they are in the top 3 cool chapters.
>>98404382>tfw orks will never get a kill team release like the tankbustas and kommandos againgrim. dark even.
>>98404434Awww the little newnigger doesn't know what he's talking about how cute
>>98404436You're right, the current shitshow of people taking the most obvious bait of all time is clearly better discussion than the actual hobby.
>>98404438Glad u like them anonThey get tons of shit all the time so ultramarine enjoyers always eat good
>>98404436This. I can't be bothered to take a time stamped picture of my models every time some autist says post models.
>>98404441Nah, you're just blatantly full of shit. There's no memes here now, you're a lying faggot. I played 4th, I read the marines codex front to back and back to front, you can't hand Iron Halos to anyone but Captains and Chapter Masters.
>>98404413collage activity and infrequent model posts have proven much of this thread does have models. its just that posting the same models everyday is annoying, and there’s nothing to prove. also the summer heatwave is really bad, so its been tough to prime and therefore paint new models.
>>98404447You've never played the game or you would've known about models that have been in for over half a decade you pathetic little /v/ermin shitposter
>>98404443One guy has a meltie about misidentifying chapter regalia and you’re pining for the fjords of modelpostingPost your shit if you care to but this isn’t the modeling generalIts honestly cringe when every discussion devolves into “post models” “well you asked me to so that means you have to post yours first!”Like this is the 40k generalWe talk about loreWe talk about releasesWe argue about dumb shitThis isnt the modeling general, get it through your head
>>98404439Nothing bad about having nothing left to updateStill waiting to know the fate of Burnas and Lootas
>>98404373They've been generic equipment usable by every Chapter since fucking 1998 if not earlier.>>98404376>the LEATHER FUCKING BELTOh yeah only Ultramarines use leather belt- Oh, oh shit, no you're just a retarded newfaggot who started playing 40k two months ago after discovering Space Marine 2 and needs to shut the fuck up??>look at the goddamn trimming on the kneepadsYou mean shit that has been on all veteran marines since Bladeguard?Kill yourself.
>>98403568>can't see SHIT, cap'm
>>98404403>>98404416
>Bladeguard VeteranRetarded name, retarded unit
>>98404458Nigga he's talking about the roman tassels not the actual leather belt
>>98404454Let me guess, you opened your 4th Marines Codex and realized you're full of shit and now are deflecting desperately.
>>98404470more like roman salute haha
i was just pretending to be retarded sorry :(
>>98404376>>98404458>>98404470akshually those tasset belts on power armor predate Space Marines et al
>>98404470OH yes, those things that have never been used by anyone but Ultramarines!
>>98404450I haven't played a game of 40k in a few years because I moved to a rural town for work (less than 500 people here) and my models are in storage since I was not going to move everything up here for a seasonal job. When summer is over and I go back to the city I'll post models.
>>98404456>Immediate post models boogeyman.I've already posted my shit. Like usual arguments and shitflinging gets more attention as it's easier to engage with. Hell even now you are more intent with arguing with me rather than talking about literally ANYTHING to do with the hobby. It's just the default for you to think I'm starting a nomodels shitpostThis general literally gets worse every time I come to see what's going on.
i have built 5 genestealers today, praise me for my achievement and accept my lack of proof as proof i care
>>98404485>accept my lack of proofI will. Thank you for your service to the star children.
>>98404413>complains about lack of models posted>refuses to post models xerself MANY SUCH CASESpost models
>>98404485Congratulations, What Hive fleet you doing?
Guys check out my sick Ultramarines Captain.
>>98404470>the roman tasselsPteruges and similar straps were used well before Romans and way after them.
>>98404482Because this general is fucking retarded about the model shitIts fucking annoying and invasive and its every single day40k has books, it has lore, it has releases, it has rules, it has a competitive aspect with tier listsThere is so much shit to discuss that isnt painting little toys but there is an extraordinarily aggressive autistic subsection of posters in this general who only want to see painted fucking toysLike go to WIPWe post our shit sometimes and other times we dontI’m not just going to infinitely repost the same shit I’ve already posted a dozen times and I haven’t painted anything a while so what the fuck do you want?Like just get involved in the active discussions or shut the fuck up
>>98404479>less than 500 people hereDo you prefer urban or rural living even if it means you are no games?
We need neckbeardia back to turn every thread argument into a lazy tts video.
>>98404492i am a leviathan purist, but they will do double duty in my GSC for extra opportunities to eat space marine
What's up for next week? Necromunda?
>>98404476Nigga, even your image identifies that as a space marine.
>>98404439I believe in a Freebootaz Kill Team, I really do.
>>98404491Why is the skulle blue? Skulls aren't blue
>>98404498>t. tertiary book and loretuber fag
>>98404433>>98404428>>98404468Nta but:>4th Edition Marine Codex:>ONE PER ARMY:>Chapter Banner>Adamantine Mantle>Sacred Standard>>>IRON HALO<<<>Holy RelicHello newfags, please get in line to suck the dicks of your elders.
>>98404494This era of marines will never be matched. The fact you could kitbash such a nice model easily is incredible.So much has been lost. Never to be rediscovered.
>>98404514So you're just shotgun quoting people with your shitposts now that you got btfod with your last little tantrum about the exclusive model>B-but I said NTA!!!Nobody's falling for it lmao
>>98404506>even your image identifies that as a space marine.Doesn't matter, it still reflects the aesthetic of Thunder Warriors.
Guys look at my Ultramarines Captain.
>>98404526kek
>>98404514Yes, and there was nothing stopping you from giving it to a Veteran.
>>98404317>people having a meltdown over the paintjob>not over the fact it's yet another near identical bladeguard>neither the fact it's quite possibly the worst WH+ mini everI hate normalfags
>>98404533The worst one was that fucking aeldari one from this year. Wasn't even an imperial, what am I supposed to do with that?
>>98404522>reeeeeeeeAs they say: Cope.>>98404531>They are veterans>plural>You could give it to a veteran>singularSubtle
>>98404538>I'm not a shitposter>Look at this shitpost I'm making, that proves I'm not shitposting!
>>98404536As an outside observer who will NEVER EVER grab WH+ and not even bother with the minis, the eldar one was a pretty cool diorama piece. Hardly the best, but hardly the worst either. Definitely easily mogged by the majority of AoS WH+ minis tho
>>98404541No u, unironically.
>>98404531Actually there was. It had to be listed on their wargear options, and it wasn't on Veteran wargear options. It was in Captain and Chapter Master wargear options only.
>>98404328>>98404414 >>98404418>>98404458 >>98404476It's not often we get a newfag saying something so stupid that nearly the entire thread comes together in solidarity to beat his ass, but we achieved something special today /40kg/.>>98404477>>98404494>>98404526
>>98404538That's pretty pedantic. Point is the precedent of a 'lowly' space marine vet having a halo is thereOther anon could have just meant it in a broad sense much like you could say 'Captains can take Burning Blades'
>>98404553He knows, he's just desperately grasping to save face now
>>98404553>Point is the precedent of a 'lowly' space marine vet having a halo is thereNo. It isn't. See >>98404548
>>98404550>WeWho's "we", nigga?But true, generic marines aren't ultramarines, they are just ultraboring.Fuck I hate bladeguards so much it's unreal.
>>98404560You're entitled to your dog shittastes, troon
>>98404555Which is crazy since its anonymous so you can just stop posting and fade into fresh anonymity in one second
>>98404548This is the 4th ed Codex's relevant sections, there is nothing there to say the Halo is limited to the Cappy or Chappy Massy
>>98404524>reflects the aesthetic of Thunder WarriorsHow? Have we had a single official depiction of thunder warriors, rather than just marines in MkI? By GW's own writing, thunder warriors wouldn't likely have leg armour, as that was not part of the power armour, but a common modification among marines.
>>98404548Wrong newfag, there was no restriction on the Iron Halo, a Veteran squad Sergeant with Terminator Honours had access to the whole army and you could put it on that model if you wanted to.
>>98404553>it's pedanticNo nigger, (you) implied it was normal for bladeguards to have iron halos because "they are veterans", when it was never normal for multiple veterans to get iron halos.Yes you could technically give A Veteran a iron halo after giving his sgt and the squad a crux terminatus, BUT that doesn't mean it's normal for 3 veterans to get iron halos.Even in meta faggotry it wasn't normal to give one fucking veteran an iron halo.That's not being "pedantic", that's you being a dishonest squirmy faggot.
>>98404560"We" are the ones who would like you to explain this.
>>98404570Anon, relics can only be given to eligible units in 4th, it must be listed on their wargear selection. You can't just give an Adamantine Mantle to a random Tactical.
>>98404499Other than having no people to play 40k and TTRPGs with I vastly prefer rural. The town has a grocery store, a bar with a pool table and karaoke, a liquor store, a pharmacy, a bank, a gas station and 2 restaurants (and they are quite good). I take the bare necessities and low crime over living in the GTA (where I used to work) any day.
>>98404560Bladeguard are one of the only Primaris units that are actually decent, acquire taste.
>>98404575hey I havent been following the reply chain but you’re gay
>>98404575Wait but you were screaming that veterans couldn't have it and now you're admitting they can but it doesn't countKeep backpedalling and shifting goalposts lmao
>>98404581>it must be listed on their wargear selection.That's not how any of that works, newfaggot. Even the commander's profile doesn't say "can be given an Iron Halo" it just said "can be given any equipment from the armoury" which is also true of veteran sergeants.
>>98404582I prefer suburban thats how I grew up and its comfyRural is too rural and urban is too urban lolClose to the action but not too closeLocal LGS but not dealing with car break-ins
>>98404589>Even the commander's profile doesn't say "can be given an Iron Halo" it just said "can be given any equipment from the armoury" That's what I just said, though? It's clearly marked that they can take anything they want from the armory.>which is also true of veteran sergeants.Veteran Sergeants aren't random 'veterans'. You really are a disingenuous little faggot, huh?
>>98404457>>98404509you anons seem to misunderstand me. there are plenty of ork kill team releases they could and will do. what we won’t see is something like the 5 extra boyz + bomb squig + grot the kommandos got, and 1 extra boy, and dual options for hammerers or rokkit boyz like the wrecka krew got.
>>98404581No one said it could be given to a random Tactical, we are talking about giving it to a Veteran, a character with Terminator Honors, who gains access to the armory with no restriction mentioned that he couldn't touch the relics.>>98404575Whatever bitch, Primaris itself was narratively a big shake-up that made a lot of new standards normal for the marines, and so apparently one of those was a couple more iron halos being on the field at once now and then, it's happened, make your peace with it

>>98404581Here is the commander's entryIt doesn't specifically say in his options that he has access to relics, so I guess then he can't have a halo or a mantle either
>>98404595Nigger you've been BTFO since this post >>98404414 and you are still going, the amount of cope is sad.
>>98404378>And the leather straps aren't specific eitherThey really are.
>>98404609um… source?
I'm convinced the guy who keeps arguing that iron halos are restricted to HQs is a falseflag to detract from the point that iron halos were indeed fucking rare by being utterly braindead.
>>98404609Oh I guess we all just collectively hallucinated the official GW Crimson Fist, Blood Angels, and Iron Hands models with the leather tassels that were posted 10 minutes ago

>>98404572>How?What do you mean how? That concept art's bolter and armor look more like that Thunder Warrior's than contemporary Space Marines. Shit even the plumage is identical.
>>98404613Honestly I'd always figured the "iron halos" on bladeguard were purely decorative. Kinda like the back decorations on sword brethren.
>>98404618The drones. The drones will come. You will be delivered.
>>98404623It's irony
>>98404591Crime where I was living before was getting so bad that people couldn't go to walk their dog without getting robbed. The government settled a bunch of Syrian refugees in the area I used to live in and it turned the place into a complete shit hole because of their gangs.
>>98404623It's figurative.
>>98404625Wasn't there a theory that bladeguards started as BTs?
>>98404625They've got a 4+ invuln, they're real
>>98404629Racist.
>>98404632No, they have storm shields, those give the 4++
>>98404629If they tried that where I lived the semi-local black community would immediately engage in turf wars with them and win lolYou’ll figure it out, you might be stuck playing on TTS for now
>>98404627Carlos
>>98404572man, they look so cool. I know in lore they were wiped out, but what are the chances GW will resurrect them, and what justifications could be made for them to reappear?
>>98404482It was pretty good when the mutant was surpressed. Hes shitposting again. Its crazy how much damage a single person can do to 3rd spaces on the internet.
>>98404626I'm just a bit skeeved about buying paint online, is it all in my head anymore? Has shipping of liquids not meant for consumption finally improved?I know it's largely the same as how stores get their supply, but the risk of getting a box of dried out paint seems higher from a warehouse direct vs. having that store middleman who inspects the goods before selling.

>>98404637No, Storm Shields confer an extra wound, which is why Bladeguard have 3 instead of 2 without wearing Gravis
>>98404642>but what are the chances GW will resurrect themLow>and what justifications could be made for them to reappear?None really, they were completely replaced by Space Marines for a reasonNot everything that existed in the ancient background history of the game needs to be playable, stop with that shit.
>>98404642Blackshields.
>>98404647having all the extra rules doesnt bother me personally
>>98404651Imagine if they bring back Mk1 armor in the horus heresy game>still no mk5Would kek to the heat death of the universe
>>98404645Agreed this general was very enjoyable for the time period he was gone genuinely
>>98404648The sword brethren also have 3 wounds and they have no invuln or shield. The extra wound is just cause they're elite dudes who are tougher and for balance reasons. Storm shields have basically always granted an invuln, I remember for awhile it was a 3+ but in 9th they changed it to a 4+
>>98403368>woketards and leftists who adopt the factions that oppose the Imperium as a counterculture moveDoesn't happen. They're too busy gooning to tyranids in my experience.
>>98404624Nigga, do you have a single official depiction of a thunder warrior? Every piece people use is a space marine. Of course they have space marine aesthetics. Aesthetics are not tied to the armour. SoB armour is based on marine armour, but has a very different aesthetic.
>>98404667your experience with gooning to tyranids?
Any Kill Team players here? I am new to playing it with my friends. I was wondering, are there any teams that are significantly cancerous to play as or play AGAINST? I want all my friends to have fun. If everyone is playing casually and learning together, is there any way that any one team could be cancerous or unfun to play against? I know the "competitive" kill team can be sweaty but casual kill team I imagine is always chill?
>>98404668John Blanche drew a thunder warrior (not marine) one time.
>>98404678Mein Neger...
>>98404686Fuuuuuuuck alright then.
>>98404618Like pic did.
>>98404642AoS Stormcast are technically literal Thunder Warriors.
Take me back to the period of time when Primaris were introduced in real life and lore. I wasn't into Warhammer in the period of time before Primaris. What was the general sentiment towards them player wise? What is the general consensus towards them in the lore? To me, Primaris seem weird because do chapters even make "regular" marines now if they have the ability to make Primaris marines? Even more weird, Primaris have all this new gear associated with them that was apparently made 10k years ago. Is that correct? I am more curious about player sentiment at the time of release because I didn't experience it. I imagine people were hyped for new stuff but not hyped because they would have to buy a lot.
>>98404674I think the whole edition is slanted towards more elite teams so anything elite is probably pretty heavyhanded.
The biggest problem with bladeguard wargear is the neo volkite pistol. Why the hell did they randomly bring back volkite technology just so these guys could hoard it in exclusively pistol form? Where are the bigger guns? Why did we never see this stuff again? It's exclusive to the shield lieutenant and bladeguard sergeants, not even captains get it why?
>>98404098>prioritize safe homogenized decisions over interesting innovative onesThis is all part of it. Artists are treated as another employee, expected to put in the bare minimum in order to cater to the lowest common denominator. AI will be a tool artists end up using to keep up with increasingly mind-numbing demands alongside increased output.
>>98404698Obligatory vanilla vs French vanilla jokes. For non-marine players, it was somewhere between laughter at Space Marines potentially being squatted and unhappiness that Marines get so much attention they have a form of infighting others can't even do.
>>98404707It's because they stole volkite from ad mech the same way they also stole heavy stubbers from the guard.
>>98404674I have not played killteam in a little bit but for a short period of time every new team that was released was considered extraordinarily strong upon releaseI believe sanctifiers dominated the meta for a periodIf you’re just getting into it, some of the best starting teams are angels of death and plague marinesThey are strong without being overpowered, and their rules are pretty simpleHonestly, though just play what you want
>>98404701When you say "elite" what do you mean? In the context of kill team isn't every operative an elite of some kind?
>>98404719By elite I mean smaller teams compared to more numerous teams. For instance, raveners are hella strong.
>>98404698Universally negative, we all saw it for what it was, a blatant attempt to oblige all those marine pigs who already had full marine armies to buy another oneDesignwise it was when they were at their wackiest and the team was making a clear effort to separate them from manlets for the replacement, whereas they have clearly since made a choice to totally reverse that direction
>>98404716Ah yes. The Blood Raven way.
>>98404686
>>98404719No elite teams have a small number of operatives that are individually strongerThis is contrasted against horde teams which have a large number of units that are individually weakerIf your individual units have seven wounds but have like 13 units on your team for instance, you are most likely playing a horde teamIf your individual units have 15 wounds or 14 wounds, then you are most likely playing an elite team that has like six unitsThey also recently introduced super-elite teams that only have five units
>>98404698It was the most divisive thing I think GW had ever done, the constant shitposting was like our own personal Horus Heresy in the general threads.
Does anon prefer oval or rectangular barrels?
>>98404732I think killing Warhammer Fantasy for Age of Sigmar might have been a tad more divisive. Primaris at the end of the day are ultimately just more space marines.
>>98404728Are necron teams "elite" teams? They seem to be in the middle as far as wounds go. I think I will like necrons. The only thing I am not super into is that a lot of their strength seems to be in their cryptek unit and I don't like baby sitting any one particular unit just to make sure it doesn't die.
>>98404738I don't even think about fantasy and never did so it was irrelevant to me outside of laughing about it.
>>98404049votann are apparently most chill with exodites because of their mutual ruggedness, though they'll still come into conflict over maiden world resources
>>98404724>>98404732So is GW still making new models for regular marines then? Because if they are only releasing Primaris stuff, didn't they effectively genocide regular marine models?
>>98404175people fellate every loyalist from a traitor legion and he's the most prominent of them
>>98404750Damn we just can't stop with low quality bait and shitposting can we today
I think of WHFB as heavily flawed especially near the end. So flawed and even internally inconsistent that I think the revisionism some players have just exposes low standards and nostalgia.
>>98404581But you can give an iron halo as a badge of honor. Or just have a halo design as a decorative element. The same way the iron skull is a badge for leadership but skulls are also found all over Imperial designs. Or how the Imperialis went from a badge of heroism to mark of loyalty to just being a design element plastered everywhere.
>>98404750>So is GW still making new models for regular marines then?Terminators and Scouts were new updates to old Marine units that didn't change them to be Primaris, so yes, they finally started going back on the Primaris replacements a bit, but then they just did the new shitty Landspeeder with Primaris elements for 11th so it's all a bit of a coin toss.
>>98404750No now the Primaris distinction is just becoming less meaningful if it's even thereUsually there's not even a keyword separating the units anymore
>>98404757This is the 40k thread, no one gives a shit about that dead game. All it ever did was piss me off by taking up valuable page space in White Dwarf that could have been more 40k articles instead. Same with Lord of the Rings but 10x worse, fuck that retarded waste of time and money.
>>98404740Like I said, it’s been a little bitI know that they have both heirotek and cryptekIf I recall correctly both teams rely very heavily on their leader unit and they throw their little disposable guys forward, infinitely respawning them as long as the leader unit is kept aliveSo basically you keep your leader unit safe and use him to turtle and buff your other guys who just run forward infinitely fighting dying and respawning while you secure objectives behind them
>>98403113Can't believe people are still using my garbage 14 years later.
>>98404766That's only because all loyalist marines are primaris now
>>98404750They mix in more of the old armor mks, because they realized that the beakies and angry faces are beloved, but the firstborn unit types are basically squatted. i think tacticals are the only ones left?
I actually got into Warhammer via the LOTR tabletop game.
>>98404782Me too.
>>98404750they started backtracking on primaris at the beginning of 10th edition back in 2023
>>98404781The tanks are still there, landraiders, devastatorsIf we counted Scouts and Terminators as manlets before this all started, and they've been updated to stick around, then I don't see why they wouldn't count>Oh no they are Primaris nowWhy?>Because they are new models and I say soMeaningless distinction then like I said
These guys are actually very cool and nice models.
>>98404714>Still trying to push your fake story about how your totally real LGS calls marine players vanilla boysThis is so pathetic lmao
>>98404782same but with star wars legion. I bought it because I like droids and the confederacy, but then saw some gretchin for $20, and decided to try it out. eventually ditched legion, but I’ve been hooked on warhammer and orks ever since.
>>98404714>Still trying to push your true story about how your LGS calls marine players vanilla boysThis is so true lmao
>>98404789>this all-primaris squad is backtracking from primaris
>>98404832Just the fact that it was an update for a classic manlet unit instead of inventing some wank like Intercessors on unicycles with multimeltas was a move away from the original Primaris direction
>lgs didn’t get the exodite boxFugg
>>98404832there's a dude with the old helmet
>>98404797Monke
>>98404838It's funny how often people will either not get this or pretend not to get this.>NO NO PRIMARIS WERE A MASSIVE SUCCESS!Yeah sure, that's why we got Sternguard and Terminators and Scouts updated, instead of Heavy Automelta Intercinerators and Gravis Destructicators with Turbomultigrav Rifles.
>>98404873I genuinely think it's only how 'Eavy Metal painted them that they turned out monke. Caine's face isn't very monke. I'll try painting it and if it turns out to be monke I'll eat my words.
"primaris" and "firstborn" are marketing terms that games workshop felt would help placate fans while they slowly replaced the entire space marine line with (closer to) truescale marines that people had been converting in rising numbers for years. they had the black library hacks write a few disposable novels to make it feel like more of an event.it was and continues to be an enormous financial success. milking the replacement and redesign process over ten years while still selling the most popular old kits (tactical squads, rhinos, land raiders) has made the company rich beyond its wildest dreams. against all odds they've kept boomers clinging on to the idea that they'll reverse course any day now rather than quitting entirely. primaris units outsell everything else they make, even the stuff that gets made fun off (phobos, go-kart, hover tanks etc.)but now we're nearing the end of that 10 year cycle. the marketing terms are being retired. there's no mention of any distinction between primaris and firstborn in the next codex. it's just space marines with no visible difference between newer and older.
>>98404797Ngl the nu-Valhallan design is kinda lit fr fr
Idk how kill team releases work. Will they sell the exodite dossier/booklet thing standalone later on?>box just sold out in US GW storelol
>>98404889I've personally never seen anyone use any of the more exotic Primaris units
>>98404900Usually the booklets are a one-time thing. The lore and stuff within might get reprinted at a letter date though in a Kill-Team compendium.
>>98404900Yes, the unit kits are always sold separately later. GW is just addicted to FOMO boxes
>>98404900Nigga all KT stuff sells out in seconds and has been doing so for years. It's the most FOMO-coded of GWs sub-games
>>98404903What where they thinking?
>>98404900no, but it should be easy enough to find one second hand
>>98404903Seriously what the fuck is Omnis armor
>>98404912'Upper management says we're STILL holding back obvious shit like jetpack assault intercessors, so we have to get 'creative' instead'
>>98404903So much of the Primaris stuff reminds me of the baby walker GK suit.

>>98404936it's probably a suspensor web, but it does look dumb
>>98404944No.
>>98404903suppressors never got an individual release. I got one from a magazine and converted it into a melee jump pack dude.
>>98404936>>98404949The black three pronged thing under the sarges gun? That's a smoke launcher.
>>98404944repex with the laser just got a huge points increase, the lancer is probably better again now. bigger tanks are kind of annoying on competitive boards full of terrain.
>>98404962that's even more retarded, i hope they fired whoever concepted these
>>98404750It's a mix. They are all primaris, primaris is the norm. All new marines are primaris (except for scouts who havent finished transitioning obviously). The new vehicles are all locked to transporting primaris stuff for some odd reason (you must be at least 7 foot 6 inches to enter).The old stuff is mostly all still allowed and has rules. So its more a slow updating/phasing out with the newer stuff being much more nostalgia baity and using old armor marks in the new primaris scale.They will NEVER go back to manlet scale (a good thing)

>>98404981a little sad to lose the navy breachers drone from the kit. It was cute.
>>98404776I hope you’re happy anon.I liked the pic and thought it would be funny to use as a thread op pic.
I'm glad they moved away from doing obscure xenoslop for the Warhammer+ mini, I'll be renewing my subscription for this one.
>>98404889>while they slowly replaced the entire space marine line with (closer to) truescale marinesThe scale was not the issue, it was that they were entirely new units with different options (or really lack thereof) and equipment on top of being in a new scale, so they were completely incompatible with old units.>it was and continues to be an enormous financial successThis has never been proven, 100% of the time you fags rely on claiming that all the money made at the launch of 8th edition must be Primaris, when in reality 8th was the biggest reset of the rules 40k had ever seen and players who had been out of the game for 5, 10, 15 years or more all came flooding back at once and they bought out almost GWs entire stock of every faction, not just marines.>primaris units outsell everything else they make, even the stuff that gets made fun off (phobos, go-kart, hover tanks etc.)Complete lie, they aren't even stocking shit like the go-kart anymore because it was so hated and unpopular.
>>98404903These were meant to be part of the stealth marines release too, kek. Cause nothing says sneaky like a fucking 8 foot long autocannon being fired from mid-air where you are above any cover.
>>98404994nta im not not gonna argue all that dumb shit im just gonna say primaris look better unless you have nostalgia glassesIm not saying the design is perfect but they look cooler overallI dont give a fucj about GW or looking like a grog or whatever I’m just using my fucking eyes
Exodites are just slightly worse shining spears and my interest is diminished
>>98404949It, at least in the drawing phase, was a spring-loaded bipod like you see pictured on Cold War/current day anti-materiel rifles and GPMGs.Seeing the piece on the sprue off of an eBay listing of it though, it is 100% a smoke launcher like off of a Castigator, but put on upside-down.>>98404962>smoke launcher>pointed DOWNI see that it is literally the smoke launcher sculpt from the vehicles in that sprue, but that placement makes absolutely no sense.
>>98405006>im just gonna say primaris look better unless you have nostalgia glassesYeah almost no one agrees with you. The scale is better but it doesn't matter because they fucked the designs so hard. Then Horus Heresy got new upscaled plastics showing what we could have had instead and mogged them into the dirt, and they realized they fucked up and walked it back, giving us upscaled Terminators instead of, as said before, some bullshit like Gravis Destructators with Omnishit Fagrifles.
>>98404994Dude you can read the financials. They're a public company. "Never been proven" to dipshits who refuse to listen.The reason they did new units first was so they could keep selling the most popular mainstay units as long as possible. If you take the blinkers off it's completely obvious why we only got new terminators in 10th, and tacticals remained on sale into 11th. It was a great chance for them to try weird shit, have their cake and eat it too.
>>98405023>Dude you can read the financials.They do not and never have listed exactly which kits are selling, you LARPing faggot. You've never read them.
>>98405015I dont give a shit everyone here wants to look like a grogAlot of the old shit just looks retarded trying to have an oldhead unc 80’s heavy metal rat fink appeal and it just kind of looks like shitIm not that old I dont have nostalgia for that dogshit the new stuff looks cooler is what it is
>>98405026You have to be 18 to post here
>>98405030I am significantly older than that thankfullyYou dont have to be a child with fresh eyes and high neuroplasticity to recognize the old shit looked kind if stupid
>>98405014Planes tend to have launchers pointing down, so maybe it's similar logic with jump troops. Then again, the old Kayvaan Shrike model has launchers placed on top of his jump pack, pointing up.
I genuinely don't even believe Space Marines sell more than other factions once you adjust for the fact that they get auto-included in every starter set and almost every versus box and have half a dozen subfactions all getting their own releases. They rely on the crutch of combining the sales of Generic Marines, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves, Black Templars, Deathwatch, and Grey Knights all into one and then will compare that to something like just "Orks" and go "look we sell more!" but it's doubtful it's actually that much more per kit. Everyone owns space marines because everyone buys the launch boxes and can't all be assed to sell them secondhand, they just sit around on the sprues in a backlog or eventually get built and painted because "I already have them fuck it" but the popularity of the faction compared to the others is way overblown. Imperial Guard frequently win polls on most popular faction, everyone I personally knows plays xenos primarily, xenos are more highly represented in some of the latest tournament data, etc.
>>98404988It's wierd how some teams get to keep their upgrade halfsprue and some don't. The Felgors got to jeeo theirs, for example
>>98405038
>>98404903
>>98405074Kek
Interesting. This is actually different from back when I played. Back in the day it was one unit, now it's any number of units and they just have to cumulatively be within the transport capacity.So I think I will test out placing a squad of Eradicators in a Repulsor Executioner, and then a techmarine unattached as a second unit in the transport so he can hop out and buff the Executioner while the Eradicators do their own thing.
>>98405055man, I was about to say this looks like complete shit and the new model mogs it, but then I looked it up, and I was just mixing it up with the Aethon Shaan model. look at this ugly fucking thing. makes me actually turn around and say the old model wasn’t that bad.
>>98405088That was my favorite 8th edition change. It lead to my favorite partybus list where I stacked 30 scions, and prime, and 2 psykers in on crassus and rammed it forwards.

>>98403567>>98403579> scalpers make assumptions on future demand by buying as much as possible> this, alone, indicates how popular a release isAnons, you're forgetting the "future demand" projection that scalpers (at least the smart ones) make when deciding which product to load up on. It's an educated guess, at best. Here's where your logic fails (it's simplified to illustrate my point):> 1) GW produce 1000 units of the Exodite KT box> 2) Scalpers buy all 1000> 3) Actual end-buyers (I.e. players) only buy 200By your logic, it was a great success because all 1000 units sold instantly. But only 200 actual players ever purchased a box, meaning 800 (or 4/5 of total stock) was never truly purchased. By using the scalpers listed price OVER TIME, it helps indicate whether the boxes are selling quickly or not, a metric for interest. Like a home seller dropping the price incrementally over months, it indicates how much interest there is in the product. GW selling to scalpers does little to explain actual interest and success in the sales specifically because scalpers aren't the actual players, they're middlemen trying to take a little for themselves before the product gets into the hands of the actual player. There are many more metrics you'd have to consider to get an accurate number, but looking at Scalper purchases alone doesn't prove anything. If the scalpers collectively drop prices periodically to below MSRP (we've seen this with scalped boxes in the past), that is more accurate indicator of interest. By no means is this me suggesting this box was a flop or success, I personally like Eldar (except Ynnari), but the point stands on itself.
>>98405046Yeah, our largest data set we have available that measures everyone that ever used the tabletop battles app during 10th edition (casuals and tournaments) shows that something like 37% of all games played were by xenos players, 38% by Imperium players, and 25% by chaos. But space marines only account for a little more than half of all Imperium games played. Which is still definitely the most of any single faction but probably not by much and definitely not if you count it as five seperate factions like it actually is. I think the actual most played single faction was Necrons in 10th.
>>98405117give them big plague smoke plumes and belt-fed blight launchers
>>98405074How fucking dare you be so correct!?
>>98405009Pretty much. From a weapon perspective, they're literally shining spears, but also from a model perspective. I just want an Autarch Skyrunner refresh so I can finally lead shining spears again. Also, their ability rule is pretty meh considering they're only saving 2" of movement over TAKE TO THE SKIES. Pretty lackluster if I'm being honest. Hoping the codex changes it perhaps
>>98405089This model is sick actually wym?
>>98405074P-primarisisters…what’s our rebuttal?
>>98404903I love these guys, they look so goofy and they play like annoying cunts in game too.I had fun running them when 11th dropped and it cracks me up they got a points increase with the last balance patch
>>98404981Man, I'm going to have to buy the exodite book separately aren't I? Maybe it'll get leaked soonAt least I don't have to deal with sn*ggas
>>98404439I pushed them towards the Fallout four super mutant look for the breaker boys
I had self control today and decided not to buy anything at the lgs
>>98405346I'm really proud of you anon. I too held back even though they had a store wide 20% off.
>>98405359You should take advantage of the sale and go back to buy something. You'd be a fool not to. >>98405346Are you sure there's nothing you forgot?
>>98403226
>>98405370Why should I though?They sell Warhammer at GW prices, not even a standard LGS discount. And I already get my GW stuff through my buddy that has a shop and gets everything 25% off and tax free.
>>98403235I already told you last time you asked
How do you deal with heartaches anons? I don't even want to paint anything
>>98405074Stop trying to make me like primaris
>>98405391Water and asprin and cut back on the caffine, but if it keeps coming back get your bp checked properly, even younger people can have problems.
>>98403768That's space marines thobeight. Just look how many marinefags are into tranny primarch porn
>>98405391take heart that ‘tis better to have loved and lost than to never to have loved at all!
>>98405391Tbqh just stay on your shitOnce youve distanced yourself from whatever bullshit you’re dealing with you’ll realize it was either stupid to worry about in the first place or just an inevitable aspect of life that can be tolerated and overcomeWhat you will regret though is wasting time being fucked up about itSo stay on your shit exercise get good sleep eat good, take care of yourself type shit
>>98405403anon
>>98405359they had 25% off of conquest stuff. I almost bought a hundred kingdom starter set, but I decided not to. The sculpts are really cool though...
>>98405346>the store owners face when you tell them, 'naw I'm not here to buy anything'
>hmmm I can't compete with bots to order the Exodite box>oh here's an obscure third party store with a copy online>.......>they only ship within their own state, they do not ship out of state, no one is buying>all listings on ebay are scalped to hell, because somehow scalpers bought all the limited supply, people aren't buying those eitherI am so tired of this shit.>>98405346There are 3 GW stores within 35 minutes of me, as a result there are only like 2 lgses that still carry warhammer products 3rd party. I fucking hate GW.
>>98405256he's just a contrarianWe're all contrarians here
>>98405607no, I'm not
>>98405144>57You forgot grey knights and deathwatch
>>98405566I'm just going to wait for the individual release. We've waited how long for exodites, what's a few more months?
>>98405628You'll most definitely not like the isolated pricing
HELP ME BROTHERS!
>>98405628>>98405633>82 USD>because, ummm, the dragons are large or somethingWhen riots sweep through my area again as the economy collapses, I will loot the GW store.
why do all these stores have online stores if they don't ship out of their local areaSometimes you'll google for a product GW no longer sells since 2016 and find it in some random ass "Wargames and Mead, New Independencetown, Statesota" a thousand miles away but they're so far from fucking everything no one bothered to travel there to buy and scalp the box.
>>98405637https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95QbmCC_1Nc
>"on or after"All of these ebay sellers are just buying from lgses then scalping the difference
>>98405633I don't like the box price either. but at least this way I won't be saddled with squiggas >>9840565190 usd. And I'm probably going to paypig for 4 of them...
>>98405664my FLGS mostly maintains an online store so locals can browse available stock from homeshipping destroys margins, so if you arent doing it at high volume its usually not worth it, it can eat an extra $10-20 off every order. you can make the buyer pay shipping but that will often deter customers who can just buy from ebay from some major seller with free shipping.if it is a legit little mom and pop shop, you can actually try calling them and seeing if they're willing to ship if you pony up the shipping costs. small stores like that you usually get the actual store owner on the phone and they're very often willing to deal with someone actually talking to them
>>98404171>I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray meI want Cao Cao
>>98405607>contrarianquit throwing buzzwords around. I said the old model was bad as well, and that Aethon Shaan (an even newer, near universally loved model) looks cool. unlike the skinny jean wearing, training wheel booted, completely horizontal purity seal waving, undrilled smoke barrel shooting, flap steering, warframe mask covered, fledgling claw slicing, thigh jet traveling abomination that is that model.
>>98405719shaaan looks stupid with his fat claws
>>98405719You talking about this model >>98405089?Cuz that one is dope
>>98405346LGS is selling a new box of immortals/deathmarks for a nice discount but I also don't want to ever build any more of those models ever again
how does this polish jew always get a bunch of kill teams and boxes to scalpDoes GW know it's selling to an LGS in poland that is shipping their product overseas?
These new space wolf sculpts are actually pretty cool. Chainsword or no chainsword for my Death Company?
>>98405758I saw that listing, but I don't know if it includes everything or if he's parting it out
>>98404183>>98404171>shugengan lord whose dragon blood is so thick he can transform into a dragon>resents his daddy (GW loves this plotline) for not loving him enough>maybe he's a bastard son of the dragon emperor with a human woman who was kept quiet>emperor and several dragons disappear or go into hiding/go overseas for some adventures>lord takes advantage of the fragmentation of the realm to take control of the major cities>romance of the three dragonsIn a certain sense cathayan lore would probably make more sense if the dragon emperor was just the first emperor and was asleep along with the dragon kids and his descendants are human-dragon hybrids who run the realm, then you can have actual CHING CHANG CHONG ATE 20,000 HOSTAGES TO SURVIVE THE SIEGE OF BING BANG BONG shenanigans.
>>98405719Can't convince me this guy wasn't meant to be Corax.
>>98405764It's the Exodite half, sans the dossier book, he sold the ork stuff separately but since, obviously, no one wants ork models they're not selling
>>98405773Yeah that's fucking gay. I should have tried to preorder a box last night. Oh well.
>>98405758GW cares about money first, market fairness/availability second. They only care if boxes don't sell AT ALL, scarcity (even artificial scarcity via scalping) is directly in their best interest as a company. Scalpers buy first runs of boxes no matter what to scalp them, so then it surmises that GW won't notice a problem until the 2nd run of boxes reach stores when real consumers in the local market can see them and decide to buy or not.
>>98405758we dont use that word here
>>98405735chapter masters are going to be fighting big opponents, so its way more convincing for Shaan to use those massive claws to slice open pic related than Shrike with his little baby claws.
>>98405790p*lish?
>>98405760also can't decide which head and chest emblem I should go for
>>98405760>>98405826blood drop for sure, makes it clearer they aren’t space wolves. also as much as I love chainswords, him holding just holding the knife gives me vibes like a 6 year old mischievously running around with something he isn’t meant to which I really like.
How do you guys transport your armies? I am looking for good storage boxes to do so. Never transported my models before.
What are your thoughts on edge highlighting? I am not positive about the best way to do it so I do it infrequently. It seems like some people edge highlight literally every edge on model. Is that needed or even ideal though?
>>98405903I only edge highlight sharp and stark edges where the highlight actually serves a purposeShit like highlighting every edge of a space marine's finger is just jerking yourself off
https://www.newrecruit.eu/app/list/WzDNKWhat do we think of Calgar joining Aggressors instead of terminators? They match his weapon and toughness profiles better. He loses deep strike but deep strike makes him miss out on CP generation for a turn or two anyway so I like deploying him on the board and walking him into the center objective.What do we think of Greyfax joining one of the shooty squads? She grants the unit anti-psyker 4+ and +1 to hit against half strength units which could be funny.What do we think of techpriests riding along inside repulsors separate from the main unit in order to heal it and boost their shooting throughout the match? Would a third one sitting back with the dreads/gladiator to heal/boost them too be worth it?What do we think of Titus leading a 10 assault intercessors for sustained hits on like 40 attacks in melee? With the new rules that you can disembark into combat, them riding in the repulsor keeps them safe and then direct deposits them. There are pros and cons to transports in this edition, but one of the positives is the rule about disembarking directly into combat, and this set up takes the most advantage of that. It might even be reasonable to add a Support model to that unit, like an Ancient or something, just to make it more super.I think there are some cool little synergies in this list and it comes out to 2k exactly at the moment.

>>98403113Hey everyone it's once again time for the collage anchor posts.This month's theme was "heavy" and was left to your own interpretation.I'll try to post an anchor every thread but if you can't spot me write"here is my july collage submission" and it'll be way easier to find you in the archive.Here is the link to next month's vote:https://strawpoll.com/PKgleQx09Zp
Has GW addressed what the 11th Edition timing for a rule/strategem that occurs with this timing?>Your Movement phase, before the Reinforcements step.
>>98405893Magnetize my mini + IKEA HARVMATTA + drumstick backpack I found on amazonIts cheap and works great. The backpack has a handle so you can carry it using that and it has some pouches.
>>98405893I have 4 of these. One with nids, one with eldar, one with sob, and one with marines, all 4000+ points, and it accommodates all of them despite that many models and weird shapes and sizes like a wraithknight and a trygon and such. Wheels means you don't have to carry it, and you can see which box is which, etc. Lots of cool stuff. Use magnets glued under the models to keep the still on the tray while driving
>>98405893Glue magnets into your bases and get some Really Useful Boxes with some sheet metal glued into the bottoms.
>>98405925I am once again asking for everyone to vote for funny/reference
>>98405839Thanks, I'll take your advice and go with the blood drop/empty hand then. Now just to print...
