Yayyy

Chaos Votann better have horned armor.
>>98434189>>Thread Question:>What’s the best “big dumb body guard” model in 40K? (and you can’t say ogryns/bullgryns because that’s too easy).there aren't that many
>TQ
>>98434234Ooh cool
>>98434216I like the middle.....tyrant guard (?) the most but my favorite bodyguard unit is the Visarch. He looks fucking cool but alas, that's pretty much all he's ever been good for.
asmonbros…
I just realized all of the xenos factions all have the same theme in that they’re not a threat to the Imperium right now, but they may become one in the future.>The Necrons are too asleep and dormant to be a serious threat currently, but if they wake up, they will be>The Tyranids are too scattered and small in their hive fleets to be a threat to the Imperium now, but if they’re allowed to eat and coalesce, they will be>The Orks are too divided and disunited to pose a threat at this time, but if Armageddon falls and they’re able to be unified under a single Ork warlord, they would be>The Tau are too small to pose a threat at this time, but if they’re allowed to continue technologically advancing and expanding at the rate they are, they eventually will The only faction that currently, right now is actually a major current threat is Chaos, and that’s because they achieved their win condition of taking Cadia.
>>98434234The most based xenos faction.
>>98434272I mean yeah every faction is written as being essentially unstoppable IF ONLY *insert reason they havent won yet here*And that includes chaosIf the 4 chaos gods weren’t locked in competition with one another they also couldve overthrown the imperium by now
>>98434234Yeah. Obyron is a bit of a dummy. Silly boy keeps leaving airlocks open or forgetting to feed the guests or forgetting to tell the Wriaths to ignore the guests or housing guests in the Destroyers' comaprtments or...
>>98434280>*hides from space elves for 65 million years*
>>98434281>essentially unstoppable IF ONLY *insert reason they havent won yet here*Are they all Potential Man factions?
>>98434281Except for eldar. No unstoppable wincon for them. They went out of their way to ruin that with gathering storm. Heck, they don't even have the option of not being guaranteed to be fucked by slaanesh.
>>98434281>every faction is written as being essentially unstoppable IF ONLYIf only GW stopped letting Gav Thorpe write Eldar lore
>>98434272Having all the villains be so weak that they need a special condition to be a POTENTIAL threat to the protagonist is the most 2026 writing baka.
>>98434294>space elves were lazy fucks that didn't bother to wipe out their sleeping enemy for 65 million years >proceed to do nothing but goon and create epstien city in the webway >does nothing productive like explore other galaxies >now their entire species is doomed to be turbo raped forever by mega gooner satan they spawned themselves The Eldar would be cooler if they weren't retarded.
>>98434304Ngl I have no clue how the fuck they're gonna unfuck eldar lore without a shitton of retcons and a massive string of Ws that would make Matt Ward jealous.Shit, eldar always losing in lore was a meme back in 4E.
>>98434314Elves back then didn't have autism, so they focused on living in their fully automated luxury space communism with magic and reincarnation society rather than hunting down and destroying some washed up soulless robots
>>98434321Nigga said infini-gooning instead of living a balanced lifestyle and actually eradicating the only existing threat at that time is somehow not autistic
>>98434319They're not going to fix Eldar lore. Not unless they do a 40k end times and allow the Eldar to go out in a blaze of glory. Which they probably wouldn't do even in that case.
>>98434321So they were lazy fucks? You'd think 65 million years they'd done something more amazing then just coom and complain about having nothing to do. Did the Old Ones just not program their bioweapons to be productive if the war ended? There's literally galaxies to explore out there.
>>98434304GW doesn’t actually force authors to write outside of a select few shill campaigns the authors pick Gav and Mike genuinely like eldar
>>98434330The Necrons were no threat at all to the pre-fall Eldar. Also, the gooning only started in like M18-M20, and not all of the empire at that. On some worlds pleasure cults appeared only a few decades before the fall.
Did any Eldar decide to leave the galaxy?
The new king of /tg/ Arch is trying to get an interview right now and is offering to be asmons lore guy
>>98434341>Gav and Mike actually like EldarX
>>98434331Eldar are too self-sabotaging by nature with how their current lore is. They aren't like the elves in Fantasy that are actually cool.
>produces nothing of worth>complains about product other people make>could've made indie product or done something>doesn'tThese influencers suck.
>>98434342Thats dumb as shitIf I was winning a starcraft game I wouldnt go afk and masturbate just because I killed all the other guys shitI would finish the job because I’m not retardedIn the lore the Eldar are retarded shitheads and they get treated accordingly, its really that simple
>>98434339We have no idea if they did try to leave the galaxy before the fall. I mean they probably tried everything at least once. Seems like it would be difficult for them to travel to other galaxies though, given that their main form of FTL is the webway.>>98434347It's pointless to do so post fall, but craftworld Zaisuthra tried to leave the galaxy and got taken over by genestealers
>>98434348Arch needs to fuck off.Maybe ask the pontius cuz he's funny and autistic enough to actually know wtf he's talking about.Too many mediocre loretubers who can't even read the lore when holding the damn book in their hands.
>>98434339>Eldar are child soldiers>Orks are child soldiers>Space Marines are child soldiers>Sisters of Battle are child soldiers>Tyranids are child soldiers>Imperial Guard some are child soldiers>Tau are child soldiersEvery fucking factions are child soldiers, no wonder the entire 40k galaxy is retarded.
>>98434355>watches movie>doesnt like it>does a movie review>never makes a movie (FOR SOME REASON WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?!?!)
>>98434360Could they ever load a Craftsworld or whatever full of resources and shoot for a nearby galaxy or go into cryostasis or any other possible way?
Okay, weird question. Suppose you have Ghaz and Makari attached to a group of boyz. You use precision to off Makari. Then you aren’t able to kill Ghaz before killing off the 20 boyz. Since they return to their starting strength does that mean that Makari would return to the table?
>>98434362>pontiusThe italian guy? Sucks that he is a corpo shill and consider shit outside of 3rd/4th, you know the proper 40k
>>98434365Movie reviewers are among the most retarded and worst influences on their communities.
>>98434367Probably yes, but again there is no point since the warp is everywhere and the only source of spirit stones are the crone worlds.
>>98434362whats wrong with arch idk shit about the guy other than that hes a chud
>>98434371get influenced nerd
>>98434365>>does a movie review>>never makes a movie (FOR SOME REASON WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?!?!)Making a movie these days is easier than ever with all this tech. If Uganda could pull pic off, anyone in a first world nation could too.
>>98434367Ignoring the part where every galaxy is loaded with infinity billion orks/krorks and the numerous galaxies the tyranids are fleeing from because of the horrific monster chasing them? Yeah I guess you could but the only known ones to try got shat on by genestealers and it only takes literally one tyranid landing on a craftworld to kill the entire population thanks to some exciting tyranid lore.
give me fat racist space frogs or give me death
>>98434365>entire output is complaining & being politicial tourists to new communities>accumulated more than enough donations to make some form of product>lacks talent>lacks drive>lacks motivationIndie projects exist.
>>98434189>TQ
>>98434364Eldar and Orks are bioweapons with no actual purpose outside of war, their retardation comes from the Old Ones thinking these chucklefucks could protect them and didn't think they'd need more then constant fighting and chasing adrenaline highs.
>>98434390B-But if the Eldar are all about fighting and hedonism then why so few of them went to other gaalxies, fought Krorks on purpose, or sought out Tyranids or any other threats like sleeping Necrons?
>>98434362Arch is based How is YouTube or Twitter more rightwing than to you losers
Arch is posting in this thread trying to shill himself.
>>98434379>tfw the Imperium is just Space Skaven if they were lead by a wannabe version of Nagash
>>98434373for a guy whose job it is to essentially read wikipedia articles he's surprisingly bad at itI remember a big long spergout about the new aos chorf women have beards, when in fact warhammer female dwarfs have never had beardsin short it's the stereotype of a secondary sloptuber just repeating headcanon but also odd onto it that he's a chud (so leftoids don't like him from the get-go) and has an unbearable fake-posh accent
>>98434378>genetically engineered by frog gods to be perfect weapons of war >gets fucked by bugs Nids are the superior xenos species
>>98434401>about how the new aos chorf women don't have beardsforgive my esl ass it's late
>>98434373Arch inserting his own headcannon as lore, inaccurate political analogies, and poorly researched lore videos with the average quality of a 1d4chan article isn't an issue? I mean I guess, keep slurping up whatever corpo slop gw is feeding you I guess.Do you just call anyone you don't know a chud these days?
>>98434395they did fight the krorks (and won)they destroyed tomb worlds when they found themwe don't know if they ever went to any other galaxies or encountered tyranids
>>98434371I am unhappy none of the Star Wars tabletop products have the EU material I seek. Where are my Imperial Knights? When I saw newfags complain about Cortosis in the Acolyte, I found myself ashamed to be in the same community as those with invalid complaints for media with many valid complaints.
>>98434378>>98434405Pretty sure those guys willingly accepted genestealer corruption as protection from Slaanesh. Eldar are all psykers and can easily detect skinwalkers.
>>98434395>space elves that were made by the same gods are scared of angry mushrooms >fail to step outside their house despite having literal godlike tech at the time >grew so bored they coomed evil sex satan into existence and can't get rid of it Useless ass space elves
>>98434400No anon, we must go even further. We must go into biological illiteracy and think humanity is fundamentally rat-like, which means rodent altruism isn't real. We must do pic except less sex with space aliens nor hijacking any plans to create portals to new worlds via rewriting humanity's existence + sex with xenos into a fundamental law of physics.
>>98434430I mean the doom of malantai was a regular tyranid who soloed the entirety of malantai so a literal swarm of bugs is usually a losing proposition. Iyanden got lucky and also had two named characters at the time.
>>98434415>they did fight the krorks (and won)Orks are still around and still a problem.>they destroyed tomb worlds when they found themThey had 65 millions years to find them all and still didn't do that.>we don't know if they ever went to any other galaxies or encountered tyranidsThere's lore of that and Eldar have admitted it's difficult even for them to leave the galaxy despite all their tech.
>>98434433In hindsight it's surprising more didn't pick fights with DAoT humanity for fun.
>>98434423cortosis was always dogshit even in the EUeven beskar was pushing it but having it be exceedingly rare and iconic to one culture made it less horrible
>>98434446Weren't DAoT humans so advanced they had time travel at that point?
>>98434384cringe
>>98434304Real 2019 energy. He hasn't written an eldar novel for like 7-8 years and hasn't written for their codices since 3rd edition.
>>98434451>so advanced they can time travel>don't use it to just auto-win by killing enemies before they even become a threat
>>98434396this place is just contrarianalso 40kg is genuinely just slightly more left leaning than you would expect I dont have issue with arch other than his retarded over the top accent
>>98434436Wars of extermination are too boring. We need mass-rape wars instead. That's a proper horror setting. Imagine being chased by horny humans trying to fuck you to the point killing one will just have their zombie corpse continue. There should be plotlines where the humans have hijacked the xenos race afterlife that way xenos who try suicide to escape human penis just find themselves raped in the afterlife instead.
>>98434413I literally just said I dont know anything about him you stupid faggot
Do I really need to bring heavy destroyers for tank hunting when my basic warriors cause glancing hits on 6s? How reliable is gauss really? I'm also bringing a monolith but feel like that shouldn't be my only source of penetrating hits.
>>98434461I think if I remember correctly the timetravel was risky and wasn't controllable enough to be used reliably. Not sure if they would've perfected it if the ai uprising didn't happen.
>>98434474Please masturbate before posting.
>>98434451DaoT humans have been written about and wanked into the stratosphere but we have minimal knowledge of the 'good shit' eldar had pre-fall resulting in a weird lore conflict where two super xenophobic races lay claim to dominance of the galaxy during the same time period and you have to kind of make your own judgements on how that actually worked.The most reasonable assumption imo is that eldar were descending into pleasure cults during that time and didn't give a fuck what happened outside their borders. Still doesn't mesh with the whole DaoT humans being infinity billion times more OP but at least that solves one faction. You can say the eldar ruled only their local region since most of the eldar homeworlds were around the eye of terror and there's no evidence of major eldar planets outside the region since uhh, they don't have any other than exodite worlds. That's probably the best excuse but you're still left with why maiden worlds are all over the galaxy other than eldar incompetence and half finished projects which there isn't any evidence to support.
>>98434272I remember Tyranids being presented as the likely doom of the Imperium and possibly the entire galaxy. Their invasions would get defeated but not before several star systems were stripped down to bare rock, you can't just recolonize that. Leviathan switching strategies by attacking from below the galactic plane to appear pretty much anywhere was also described as something that would mostl likely break the Imperium's defences.
>>98434444>Orks are still around and still a problem.Orks are nowhere near krork level. Imagine btfoing your enemy so hard they devolve back into apes.>They had 65 millions years to find them all and still didn't do that.We know they explicitly did hunt them down. There are about 200 billion stars in the milky way and probably trillions of planets. It's not exactly easy to find EVERY SINGLE NECRON EVER especially when they're doing loony toons shit with reality to hide their tomb worlds, and have no souls so can't even be targeted by psychic means.Besides it's not like GW could have them wipe out necrons or orks. They wouldn't be tabletop factions otherwise...
>>98434492Just wait for warhammer 50k
>>98434484The AI uprising happened because they AIs weren't paid enough.
i love how on topic and not shit the threads have been
Genuinely what has even happened since 8th Nothing really major has happened 9th? Necrons own a section of space now fully they didn’t stop them, 10th? What the FUCK even happened in the 4th Tyrannic war? Oh and perturabo is back btw, 11th? Orks are getting uppity No actual progression has happened in years where’s my capeshit? Robute hasn’t talk with the lion yet either
>>98434474This is a crucial area much of horror lacks; the sexual aspect. Vampires and demons being seductive aren't a coincidence, neither is the suspension bridge effect. Every time I see horror these days avoid sex I just go to sleep.
>>98434503Complaint post detected! Additional Good Thread points gained: +5Progress to next thread Quality Post generation tier:[========..............................]
>>98434511>that vn doesn't have any scenes of all 3 girls getting raped at the same time
>>98434491The problem is that the Imperium only has 4 planets that matter, Cadia, Armageddon, Mars, and Terra. Cadia already fell, and Armageddon only matters because it’s the first line of defense for Terra and Mars. And Terra and Mars only matter because the Golden Throne and Void Dragon are there.The irony is that despite being the largest of all the factions, you only need to really conquer one world to destroy the Imperium entirely. It’s the faction with the biggest weak point. Obviously this is easier said than done since the Imperium keeps 20% of its entire galaxy’s military around Terra but the point stands that nobody else is so reliant on one world.
>>9843450840k is back to being nothing ever happens with an illusion of progression
>>98434444>Orks are still around and still a problem.Only thanks to Imperium, before M31 they are not been a problem>They had 65 millions years to find them all and still didn't do that.They have map with every existed tomb world, and they destroy these worlds well enough>There's lore of that and Eldar have admitted it's difficult even for them to leave the galaxy despite all their tech.Only after the fall, because problem is Slaanesh and she is everywhere
>>98434484It still seems like the first experiment you'd do if you're the ImperiumSend a single guy back in time to a morning before Spazz Maticus the BBEG wakes up to blow him to bits before Spazz is able to siege the imperial stronghold on Whothefuckcares, preventing the fall of Whothefuckcares and saving the Whyarewehere system in the process.Points vary of course, but the principle is what I'm trying to convey. Time travel needs a billion caveats to not be an insta-win in any setting, and then why even include it if you can't use it?
>>98434522isnt this what we all wanted though?
>>98434462Eh, I only grade loretubers by the accuracy and delivery of their lore.If you can keep your dogshit political views out of your unrelated content I don't care - Especially since most people have incredibly uninformed and shitty political takes that are below Wikipedia level.
>>98434521It's like the other anon said about infinite Imperium worlds and how any planet destroyed is mostly a planet invented for the story and thus no real loss.
>>98434532We never wanted the progression to happen we are stuck in nu 40k stagnating garbage
>>98434492Are Eldar actually the reason Krorks are Orks when the one that mentioned that was an Eldar hyping their species up (which is something they do constantly)? Eldar aren't unbiased or trustworthy and it's not like Orks aren't a threat anymore. I'm not even sure if War of the Beast is canon.
>>98434522>>98434508GW obviously listens to feedback and the fact no progress has happened and primaris lore is mostly all ignored are big examples
>everything never happens>except primarchs come backAnd so it will be until 40k is unprofitable
>>98434526>They have map with every existed tomb world, and they destroy these worlds well enoughNot well enough at all considering there's tomb worlds awakening all over the galaxy.
>>98434552
>>98434552They genuinely did this shit before steel legion were updated that’s insane lmaooo it’s so awkward seeing Krieg here
>>98434557

>>98434562
>>98434569
>>98434339>>98434359Eldar aren't psychopaths hell bent on genocide. Necrons lost so Eldar accepted their surrender and left them be. If Necrons tried to start shit again, they would finish them off
>>98434573
Nothing is gonna happen to Armageddon imperials will hold
>>98434569>Amargeddon again: Everyone is here! EditionNot even death can give Yarrick a retirement.

>>98434294>do nothing>win
>>98434584Given how badly cadia went for chaos it would probably be better if Armageddon held. 2 imperial primarchs returning, years of cadia memes, and the entire tone of the setting going to nobledark from grimdark? I can only imagine what another "L" will mean for the setting.
>>98434584Return of Yarrick ends with the Imperial defenders broadcasting that Armageddon has fallen.
>>98434592>wanting to properly establish an empire means genocide
Am I being overly autistic about not wanting to use Krieg heavy squads or artillery in an army with Cadian or Catachan infantry and vice versa? I know compfags do whatever the rules allow and there's no rules about "picking a lane," it just feels wrong to have random Krieg heavy flamers surrounded by Catachans backed up in the rear by Cadian heavy arty. It hurts the whole "unique regiments" thing.It feels like running Blood Angels alongside Ultramarines to me.>>98434558GW was planning to soft squat Steel Legion with the newest Armageddon lore. They only relented due to the shitting and pissing that guardfags did over this (pic related) paragraph that was put out after the original Return to Armageddon video.Those Krieg models in particular were painted as a tutorial on the Warhammer YT channel titled "Painting Death Korps in Steel Legion Colours." The comments are more guardfags mocking the decision before GW walked it back.
orks will take armageddon, mork and gork willing
>>98434592>Biel Tan>ExistingAnon it's been like a decade and over a century in lore since Biel tan blew up.

>>98434592>>98434607yes
>>98434624take your dubs where you can get themyour dogshit faction has been a joke forever
>>98434634why are you taking this personally it's simply what happenedNecrons lost and Eldar mercifully accepted their surrender
>>98434272that's not xenos, that's every enemy faction, chaos included, because the imperium needs excuses as to how it's not dead yet the alternative is risking to not make the enemies appear threatening enough, if at all
>>98434645im not eldar are a joke faction they literally have clowns lolthey gooned so hard the goongod came and degoonulated them
>>98434569>The third war continues to this day.Trivia: Operation Imperator never once refers to the ongoing conflict on Armageddon as the fourth war.
>>98434646I know you don't know this but like 15 years ago every faction was on the verge of ruling the galaxy (except for eldar, they were on the verge of not having their souls eaten by slaanesh). This is a substantial walk back and doesn't improve the setting in anyway except for catering to imperiumfags by giving them a nice old handy while shitting on the setting and everyone who isn't maining IG/Space marines.
>>98434654>unprompted, unrelated to topic seetheyes, you are
>>98434667wym
>>98434670>>98434634
>>98434663Thats essentially what he said?
>>98434671i still dont know wym the topic was eldar and I said the eldar are a joke faction with a literal clown aesthetic that have done nothing but lose and goon and then lose some more
>>98434663being on the verge of galactic domination and perpetually missing that one thing that would allow them to win, is effectively the same situation the only thing that significantly changed is how retarded, and how much of a tertiary, the average imperialfag is
>>98434596We literally went to bed because we knew they would get caught up in their own faggotry and implode, based as heck.
>>98434681you are seething then, taking this personally for whatever reason, in a completely unrelated topicNecrons lost, Eldar accepted their surrender and left them be, because they are not hellbent on genocide. No point in bullying a defeated enemy. Eldar could finish them off at any point, they didn't because they are not inherently evil. They knew where all functionally defenseless Necrons are, but since they were not a threat anymore, there was no point in murdering them in their sleep. Exactly this same like Interex did with Megarachnid
>>98434675No, anon said that the enemies of the imperium were weak and needed to be so because the alternative was trying to justify how the imperium wasn't dead.I countered by pointing out that prior to 8th the imperium were in dire straits which is a radically different tone from the present day and also wasn't an issue at the time.I could also add that regardless of how close the Eldar get to their "wincon" it has 0 impact on the imperium so fucking them out of their potential win is really stupid because even if they got their w they'd still not have the forces, industrial base, ambition, and population to seize control of the galaxy so having them be ascendant doesn't mean you have to justify why the imperium isn't dead yet.Also people wanting the protagonists to have nothing challenge them have garbage taste and make me think of isekai power fantasy slop.
>>98434713idk bro I made one offhanded comment like 20 minutes ago and youre still on about itit kind of seems like youre the one seething tbqh
>>98434720nah, you are mistaken
>>98434714>anon said that the enemies of the imperium were weak and needed to be so because the alternative was trying to justify how the imperium wasn't dead.I didn't say that, I said they were out of their final win condition because the two alternatives are either that the setting doesn't justify enough how the imperium survives, or that the enemies are not made threatening enough
>>98434272>eldar are such a non-threat you forgot to mention them
>>98434714he didnt say they were weak he just said there was always something in the way of total victory which is true
>>98434348All things considered that's a cool lookin Phantom Titan. Makes me want to finish my Revenant soon.
>>98434722phew
>>98434720Eldarfags seethe at anything Necron related and will never admit Eldar failed the purpose of their creation. Old Ones would've been better off making a computer virus.
>sizemogs you
If the Orks do win it would essentially restart the ork “empire” of sorts that had existed before Horus took it down on Ullanor and ensure Thraka as the boss of bosses
>>98434730Eldar, tau and votann aren't written like enemy factions because they are good guys factions that still have loose excuses for the posterboys to go fight because this is a wargame where there's only war.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98434750>warhound titan that smallSize creep has gone too far.
As a guard player here is my opinion on the eldar:s'ok I guess, don't like their vehicles, too pointy n curvy for my tastes. hope exodites get a big drop
>>98434742a computer virus wouldn't be sexy enough to spawn a god of sex, and melodramatic enough to fight like acrobatic clowns, power rangers, and dino riders, to the preordained end of the universedon't tell me how to do my job if you don't know what my job is
>>98434189Big Retards, reporting for duty. (I love them.)
>>98434767At least it doesn't cost a thousand dollars
>>98434768Eldar look fucking stupid in general but the exodites are cool
>>98434189They're big but they aren't dumb. Close enough.
Still the best monolith.
>>98434769To be fair if my destiny was to fucking fight and die until the universe ended I'd prefer to look sexy and rad as hell while doing it instead of being some miserable wretch dying of trenchfoot in military fatigues.

Fifth edition necrons just had endless bangers and then szarekh came back and fucked everything up.
>>98434844I don't like the giant bulbous foreheads they gave all the new models
>>98434796I prefer this design but it seems to me like a model that's basically impossible to make look good paintjob-wise
>>98434841It looks like a god damn lego kit, that along with the old plastic green cone guns were abysmal. I wouldn't have started Crons if that's what they still used. Yuck!
>>98434602What's the context of this image?
>>98434865You shouldn't have started 40k period.You don't belong, nobody agrees with you, you have abysmal taste, no skills, and no friends.

What do I even report decalfaggot for? Ban evading isnt an option in the dropdown

Never played fourth edition but the rules look fun and I hear it's the best, however I've heard that necrons are annoyingly strong. Would it be considered unsporting to try and get friends into making fourth edition compatible armies just so I can play necrons? If not I suppose I can make an eleventh edition list that only uses old units. I hear flayed ones are quite strong this edition.
>>98434910Necrons back then had a rule where if you kill 3/4 of them they automatically lose.
>>98434934I liked that Tau completely bitched out when you killed ethereals. I'm surprised how much they've diminished ethereals. Now they're just a weird little support characters.
>>98434893Idk i think it looks pretty coolMaybe you could transfer some subtle dark grey PCB patterns on the flat panels to give it some flare but iunno shit looks fine to me
What do the chaos gods really want their adherents to be doing in their name? I am curious. Like is Khorne truly about COMPLETE wanton destruction and killing or is it more sort of? Example, what would Khorne find more based if an adherent did it. Fought 1v10 against worthy warriors in melee combat and won? OR Head crush 10 defenseless orphans in a hive city or something. Next, Khorne finds spell casters apparently disgusting. If someone warp fireballed a building of children in Khornes name is that based or not based? Second, Nurgle, I have no idea what the fuck Nurgle wants his followers to be doing. Like yeah spread disease and what not but that seems about it.Slaanesh, I have little idea as to what pisses it off. I know it is more about dragging shit out to get every ounce of pleasure or satisfaction so obviously shit like torture is in. But does it necessarily hate if you were to kill something quickly in its name?Tzeentch seems like you could do anything in its name as long as you tricked someone into doing it. So instead of you killing a orphanage full of children in a hive city, you tricked someone else into doing it.
>>98434949fighting fighters > fighting non-fighterssorcery = not based
>>98434910>would it be considered unsporting to convince my friends to play an edition specifically so I can play a strong faction in that edition? Yes anon. Going back to old editions to be a waacfag is just taking the cycle of suffering with you.
Isn't there a tradition of a new race/faction arriving with a new edition of 40K?Or have I huffed too much Tamiya plastic glue?
whats the difference in playstyle between normal eldar and corsairs? kinda just seems like better guardian squads with worse characters
>>98434984It usually comes at some point but there's not a solid pattern. Sometimes at the end of the edition, sometimes at the very start.
>>98434796>slab of metal hovering across the battlefield, killing everything in sightThis makes the Necrons feel very not!Dalek (in a classic/80s Doctor Who sense) and I like it a lot for Necrons as a caricatureShame what happened to Doctor Who though
>>98435001They're more tricksy and melee focused. Like Dark Eldar if they actually worked with Eldar rules and detachments and weren't locked to Ynnari.
>>98434348fuck off with your parasocial faggotry
I don't care for necrons
>>98435018the insist upon themselves
>>98434362isn't he married to an onlyfans girl?
Of course decalfag embraces nunucrons.
>>98434423fuck, i miss EU so much
>>98434949the gods are schizophrenic amalgams of concepts and emotions and thoughts, they are not discreet personalities, they only appear to have one in the same way you can build an average phenotype of a nation by superimposing a large number of people's faces, they don't follow strict rules, they only reward certain things sometimes and cults to these incomprensibile entities just pop up and start preaching their own tenets that may or may not actually produce effects because the cults also end up projecting an idea of what the god is and so the god is also that additional schizophrenic aspect sometimes, maybe, and they can and do appear to have contradictory goals or nonsensical means to their alleged goalsthe best way to understand what a god is to understand what it is NOT:khorne and slaanesh are not enemies by happenstance, they are fundamental opposites; khorne is violence for the sake of violence, the point is the act, not yourself, not the result, khorne at its extreme is complete ego death and just physicality. by contrast slaanesh is not about the act, because any act can be slaaneshi, once brought to its obsessive extreme, and that's what drives slaanesh, the spiral into obsession and that unreachable perfection, the inflation of your own ego to new heights, at the end of the day slaanesh is exclusively about yourself and your experience and your mentalitynurgle and tzeentch are also each other's opposites; tzeentch is about change, the desire to change, the willpower to change, and the planning to bring change, it's about the solution, the shortcut, the trick, the hope that you can be the master of your own fate. meanwhile nurgle is about stagnation, the embracing of it, the acceptance of the status quo, the wallowing in your place in the universe, in nurgle you accept fatalism, you revel in it, you spread it, you solidify it, you gaslight yourself that it's the true way, the most benevolent and fruitful way, everything else is childish tantrums
>>98434272>Dark eldar are such a non-threat you forgot to mention them
>>98435010>and melee focusedso the power swords are actually worth playing around?i kind of got kabalite vibes from the basic corsair squads but without the open topped vehicles like dark eldar have i had no idea how they're meant to actually work
>>98434341>Gav and Mike genuinely like eldarlol, lmao. Get better material
>>98434949>Like is Khorne truly about COMPLETE wanton destruction and killingYes. All of the gods are slaves to the things they represent.Tzeentch can't stop scheming because he is scheming made manifest.
Space king 5 on the way boysPraise be to space king
>>98434341You don't need to like a faction to want to write for them. Hatred is just as powerful motivator.We know this because Gav is a 100% confirmed dwarffag that completely abhors elves of all kinds.And we know this due to his collegue Andy Law confirming that in an interview.
>>98435054NTA but power sword and pistol is better than rifles. I would only take rifles on a bodyguard unit with Kharseth. Voidscarred are only good in a 10 man brick with Yriel, and only in the Eldritch raiders detachment. If you are taking corsairs by themselves, they are decent as chaff/action monkeys but not amazing. They all have the grenade keyword and the skyreavers are pretty mobile which helps.
>>98435034Me and anyone with eyes to see.
>>98435081shut up you fucking faggot jesus christ
>>98434910They are. But the caveat is if you attrit them down to 1/4 of their starting model count they immediately fuck off and you win. Some players would try to get around this by hiding a squad of warriors or scarab swarms behind cover all game. What most people remember is that Necrons had a special Gauss rule for their weapons that did 2 things - If you rolled a 6 to wound, it was an automatic wound even if the target toughness would normally not allow a Str-4 weapon to wound it. When attacking a vehicle, if you rolled a 6 to 'wound' in the common phrasing, back then it was called armour penetration, it was an automatic roll on the glancing hit table regardless of armor value. This is significant because normally a common Str-4 weapon doesn't have a chance to harm anything other than a light-armored vehicle with the lowest possible AV value of 10, but now here comes your basic-bitch squad of Necron Warriors that can spam down a Land Raider or Leman Russ from the front and all you can do about it is cope and seethe. Taking vehicles against Necrons was just giving them free points. So you may think "Ok, I'll just take all infantry" - "lol" said the Nightbringer, "lmao".

>>98434949Old lore Khorne had a "Warrior's honour" thing, new lore Khorne doesn't really care, but fighting enemies that fight back is still better.Old lore khorne could have sorcerers, where using magic to enhance your fighting is ok (basically not much worse than using a magic sword), but using magic to avoid fighting is not ok (e.g. casting fireball when you could be stabbing). New lore Khorne has a full prohibition against sorcerers (but not magic weapons or demons or blood rituals).The other posters have it right for new lore, the chaos gods can't avoid embodying their core aspects because they ARE those aspects, there's no ego to Will otherwise.

>>98435078It explains a lot about Path of the Eldar as a trilogy, which is less of an epic multi-faceted narrative about Craftworld Alaitoc bravely fighting off an Imperial attack, and more of a cringe love triangle that, due to the ego of one brand new farseer and one retarded corsair who ruined the life of their 'friend,' ended up nearly dooming Craftworld Alaitoc.
>>98435164one day i shall slap the valle*o texture shit down there down worry, surely it will be before i put on a decal since i hate those even more

>>98435190one too many MG kits before i was ready to deal with all that on top of terrible reference sheet for them (at least it was there)

>>98435211I don't think you can be a chud if you own the designated troon army
>play kill team for the first time this week>its actually more fun than normal tabletopI wasted so much time not having the fun I could've
>>98435248>designated troon armythose are marines and tyranids.
>>98435251It's safe to say that pretty much every single other game GW sells is more fun than 40k at this point. Decades of horrible decisions have finally piled up, the game has no fucking soul left
>>98435223>you admit that i'm a chudYou yourself labeled it here already, so no. >>98435091
>>98435235All of these jump unit goofy poses could be fixed if they just RETVRNED to using a flying stand.

>>98435253Neither of those armies got a gender transition retcon, so no.
>>98435253i hate that white/pink/blue are the tranny colours because i actually like that combination of colours
>>98435253Nope, just marines.
>>98435253That's actually pretty nicely painted
>>98435273show us your army then
>>98435275I don't, it looks like shit.Putting 2 garish as fuck colors to a very bright, white color is just a recipe for shit. Ironic, for crap is brown.
Imagine owning a tranny army and thinking you're a chud. Couldn't be me.
>>98435291show your army faggot
>>98434368That wording means that you consider Ghaz+Mak as if they had started unattached for the purposes of determining starting strength (and therefore, the battle-shock threshold). You don't actually give them back any HP or resurrect either.i.e. if the boyz get blasted then you don't have to roll battleshock for solo Ghaz+Mak, unless Ghaz/Mak are also at or below half of their solo starting HP
>>98434521I was gonna say Commoragh is just one place but that city is so unassailable that Vect baits attacks into it for political purposes
>>98435295Me showing you my army won't make yours any less of a troon army.
so coming from fantasy, are there any armies which can field enough powerful wizards hucking lightning bolts and fireballs to actually make a decent magic themed army? who can pull this off?bonus points for humble guy in robes wizards and not something thats just a big monster like tyranidsi noticed theres no magic phase, and i havent seen any spell lores or casting rolls or wizard levels. but i know psykers are supposed to be like 40ks wizards, so whats the deal here? or is it just really downplayed in this game?
>>98435327>so coming from fantasy, are there any armies which can field enough powerful wizards hucking lightning bolts and fireballs to actually make a decent magic themed army? who can pull this off?Unfortunately no, not anymore. They dumpstered the Psychic Phase and psychic powers as a whole, so the wizard thing is pretty much dead forever in 40k. Also no factions really fit that vibe. Closest you can get is Primaris Psykers for IMperial Guard, I guess, but you can't spam them in your army, they aren't very good either, and again, no psychic powers anymore
>>98435158Same energy as, "the Norn Emissary/Assimilator is our biggest Tyranid plastic kit yet!">technically true because we have it standing on a booster seat and made its non-functional spore chimneys stupid tall
>>98434569>>98434578The fuck happened to GW writing? Why is a war with billions of casualties written like a snarky millennial tweet?
>>98435327Necron cryptek conclaves. There's no official psyker rules but you can have your robot techno wizards of various techno magical disciplines casting their pseudo spell abilities.
>>98435341They're not hiring nerds to do the writing anymore.
Hey guys tier 3 asmongold sub here I want to get into this game and know absolutely nothing about it at all, what army should I collect?
>>98435341It's the same thing as everything else recently, "millennial writing," "Joss Whedon syndrome," whatever you want to call it. They were all taught "write what you know," and they only know how to be a snarky ivory tower cockroach who thinks a twitter clapback is peak comedy.No one in the writer's room takes themselves or the setting seriously, it's all post-irony and the fourth wall is an object to be played with.
>>98435341Yeah all of those >(yeah you read that right)Just reads like shit, they are actual fucking marvel quips but in text form.The absolute fucking state.
>>98435091i like femstodes :D
>>98435341I'm not certain of the source of the images but I'm assuming it's a White Dwarf? Which is no stranger to taking a lighter tone even in lore write-ups. If it's an actual source book though, then yea that's pretty yikes.
>>98434841>>98435158I haven't seen the monoliths side by side. Never realized how cartoony the new one is. I think the old one just ought to be raised up slightly on a base.
Slapped together a CSM list with just a single Marine. I've got everything and it's all painted (besides Vashtorr) how retarded is it?
>>98435351Space Marines, obviously. Make sure to never, ever let a drop of paint besmirch your glorious grey plastic army and buy every single Marines release, including all those Lieutenant variants you will never, EVER use but still sell like hotcakes
>>98435351orks, I think it would shake it up to have someone insufferable be an ork player for once.
>>98435253True great paintjob xister!
Thinking of adding a unit of Battle Sisters + Inquisitor to my SM list for flavor. Can they be kitted to fill a useful niche or should I expect them mostly to provide moral support only?

>>98435379That's what I want to do before I start building up an agents force
>>98435363It is a WD article, but WD used to be pretty damn respected for its article writing
>>98435383you can say it’s not by much, but it objectively is.
>>98435366I'm 50/50 on applauding you for making an interesting list filled with cool chaos monsters and roasting you for spending money on the ugly ass skulldozer.Is the Lord of skulls a custom or 3d printed model?
>>98435393Don't be dumb now.
>>98435338I was such a disappointment when it turned out it wasn't knight sized
>>98435338I was hoping this thing would've been a knight sized bug, but nah, it's just slightly bigger hive tyrant is all.Also in general I think the fluff for the Emissary is just shit.>here's this obvious hive tyrant esque leader monster for your nids>actually no, it's a fucking assassin bug that fucking contorts itself and breaks the laws of physics to fit into places it has no business being in>oh btw, it's also psychic and it is also independent like the Swarm Lord tooLike just why? This should've just been a hive tyrant +.The whole assassin bug thing makes even less fucking sense is pointless because the fucking Lictor and Deathleaper exists, so why does it need to be an assassin too?Not like the psychic powers matter either because literally made a psychic lictor species as well in the very same update.It's like those neurogants which are also pointless whose entire fluff gimmick is that>"neurogants will attack anything that is attacking the synapse creature near them"Even though this is already behaviour that ALL "species" of gant exhibit as an instinctual response. It's even mentioned in the codex iirc.Rant aside, my point is that Emissary/Assimilator should've just been an actually knight sized bugs whose only purpose is to assume a leader role, like hive tyrants do.That's all they needed to do, but they just tacked on all this random shit.
>>98434730>>98435053The Eldar and Dark Eldar lack the ambition to even be a threat. The Tau, for how small they are, at least are constantly advancing and expanding and have the ambition to take over the galaxy. The Eldar and Dark Eldar literally just want to continue existing in their own little enclaves, same as the Votann. Even when they wipe a planet clean of life they don’t really expand like the other factions.
>>98435427not making the norns the new top tier of leader beasts means not undermining the role of the hive tyrantswhile making them vanguard beasts means little timmy will buy it together with the other vanguard beasts released during that wave, which were quite the number and the most pricey
>>98435440>Even when they wipe a planet clean of life they don’t really expand like the other factions.Yeah, about right.Eldar are basically doing that is like you pulling out a can of bug spray and using it on a wasps nest that wasps started to build on your porch.You don't really want to do it, since you know they are just insects, animals doing what they are genetically programmed to do.But you aren't really opposed to just scorching them, since you are also aware that it is better to get rid of the problem now early before it becomes a big problem. But at the same time you aren't gonna go around hunting for wasp nests to exterminate them.
Just learned that Spaec Mureens got bowdlerized not too long ago. My deepest condolences grimdark-bros. I was never a part your hobby but I had become accustomed to your presence in the landscape.
>>98435393A+ waacfag post
>>98435458I don't care that the Emissary undermine hive tyrants because they really don't.They can easily just play the same card as they have done with the fucking Swarmlord. Aka it's a very specific speciality bug that only gets made in certain conditions by the hivefleet and making it will take quite a lot of resources to do.They could've just done the same with the Emissary/Assimilator, they are leader beasts who only show up when the situation calls for it and rest of the time the hive tyrants are enough.Hell, they could've even made it so that Emissaries really ARE just tyranids that were originally hive tyrants as embryos but then due to certain hivemind stimuli or whatever the hive tyrant embryo further evolves into an Emissary/Assimilator.And the only reason why they are only showing up now is because tyranids haven't previously met enough resistance to warrant creating an Emissary to overtake a battlefield.

What does something like Lahmia Medium even do? I have some and don't remember how I got it. When would you use it and not use it I guess?
>>98435615It's paint without any pigment in it, I use it to thin down washes so it doesn't stain as much while still flowing greatly.
>>98435359Femstodes aren't canon.
>>98435615It's the stuff that makes paint all wet. You can add it to your paint and washes to make it thinner, and it'll take longer to dry. You can use it for glazing and other neat things. In some cases it's better than using water, like for whites I think?
>>98435566not everyone who disagrees with you is from a different board
>>98435636>seething about model ownersyou're /v/ermin alright
>>98435627How is glazing different than using a wash?
>>98435645I'll admit I'm not sure, but I guess the idea is to completely paint over something with a glaze to bring the colour together, that's how I see it anyway.
>>98434189>order WH minis straight from GW>every sprue has smushed details, broken spikes, bent partswhy don't they use real packaging? Corvus Belli uses foam and thicc cardboard...

None of them need more space.I guess technically Ynnari could set up a cloning factory? But I don’t think that’s something they’d do.

>>98434949Chaos gods aren't individuals with particular goals or the capacity for true reasoning, they're self perpetuating psychic hurricanes embodying agglomerated ideas.The blood/skulls/violence hurricane doesn't have any tier list of favoured deeds or make any assessment of the relative quality of devotional acts, it just has tendencies. Combat against the worthy in Khorne's name is good. Crushed orphans in Khorne's name are good. Sometimes, while acting in devotion to the wind that is Khorne, you get caught in an honour draft and will be favoured more for that, sometimes you get caught in a skull draft and all that matters is the head count. Sometimes the wind doesn't even care about the devotional intention. Sorcery inherently runs against the direction of the spiral of the whirlwind that mortals call Khorne, so it is bad.There is no logical assessment. Each is a force of paranormal nature. Worship is contributing more of a physically manifested idea into the storm. Favour is the storm imbuing you with physical manifestations of the idea.

Instead of a character going insane due to Chaos corruption or some lovecraftian monster, have they ever become sane instead? Besided cases like WHFB's Kemmler being ambushed by rivals then granted power again after spending time insane like a street hobo, I'm talking a full crazy gone normal.

I pulled the trigger and bought my first box :)
>>98436309You're couple of years late
>>98436311
>>98436309RATSKINS LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOO
some more kroot hounds (:
I have 38 boyz (including the 10 beast boyz in the exodite box I got in 2 weeks)Would it be retarded to visit the gw 20 minutes from me for a free boy, then go home, then go to the other gw 15 minutes from me to round it out to 40? I often think about this, this is why I have a singular squad of blood claws I created from broken intercessors, space wolf bits and the single blood claw.
>>98436311based
>>98436309
>>98436309>necromundawhich one we thinking, random rat monster, hired gun of a secretive rat society deep in the underhive, barely sapient mutant rats made by a mad scientist, or something else?
>>98436311Congrats, anon. You can paint them however you like and make them /yourdudes/ or you can pick from already existing Craftworlds.
>>98436326why’s he such a fat fuck?
>>98436333Unpopular opinion but I think the Kroot are really creative for an alien race. They're mainly humanoids but all the different forms from dog to roided angry gorilla ape, T-rex, winged kroot is really cool. The whole eating others to gain their form and abilities is a great sci-fi alien trope and being secrely primative but having their own FTL drives and starships is cool. GW did a really good job with them
>>98436342well shit, its random rat monster >>98436326
>>98436333Nice carrots, anon
>>98436347I don’t know if its bullshit, but someone said behind the scenes GW wanted to create a new xenos faction, but only wanted one made to prevent bloat, and the designers came up with either kroot or tau (minus concepts of auxiliaries), and the debates over which one to make into a full army resulted in arguments until reaching a compromise to have tau use kroot as allies. again, don’t know if its bullshit or not, but it would explain why kroot are so odd and weirdly loved.
>>98436369Nah that's 100% true there's a whole WD article where they say that, couldn't decide between Kroot as the 'savage' aliens thats a different flavour to orks, and the Tau as anime mecha/ NATO alien newcomers so combined them. Vespids get added because true bug aliens were also missing.
>>98434216middle one is my fav for sure.
>>98436378Never noticed the >NOT TOY LIKEnote kek. Tau get a lot of shit from certain parts of the fanbase but I really really like them and their role in 40k, Space NATO who are nice (sometimes) to other xenos as a method of challenging the xenophobic imperium is great and really needed as a foil aganist humanity. I really like their fire warrior cyclop-like helmets. I almost wish we didn't know what the face of a tau looked like and had some mystery there. But the helmets are truly sick, making sleek elite solider armour for aliens is hard not many sci-fi IPs pull it off but the Tau nail it.
>>98436311Oh shit twin!
>>98436378Auxiliaries!Though I must admit my favorite tau are NATO tau.
>>98436418Are those gue’vesa the old stumpy cadians?
>>98436418I wish we got more auxiliaries, even just a kill team like the vespids would be ample. Some Galgs, half joined the Tau the other half scattered across the galaxy as mercs for the imperium and chaos which is sick. Little tony crystal crabs that are their tech wizards. Taurllians proper etcI like the beastmen skill on the kroot leader anon, looks cool.
>>98436422yeah a mix of them and firewarrior bits.
What's with these epstein-ass names for space marine tanks? The predator, the stalker, the hunter, the buttraper, why are space marine tanks named this way?
What're we workin on this weekend folks?
I hate 40ks chaos
>>98436436Tanks are giant phallic objects that destory anything they penetrate. Their most dangerous weapon is the big heavy rod and what comes out of it. It's also filled with men. >>98436448fuck off
>>98436448
>>98436456What's your biggest gripe?
>>98436468Everything’s in fucking power armor
>>98436469so?
>>98436472It’s boring
>>98436443got a riptide i'm going to paint like a gundam sitting on my desk
>>98436475you have bad tastes
>>98436476Very nice!
Can some explain this pic to me. I thought space marine squads were 5 men. But this implies each squad has 10 men. Or is 10 man the codex standard and then it can be broken off into two 5 man squads for game balancing reasons.
jannies have been on top of their game recently
>>98436496they're 10 man teams that could always combat squad into 2 5 man teams.
>>98435359>the joke is porn
How cringe would it be to name all of my space marines and write their names on the side of their bases?
>>98436533self-report
>>98435615It’s just the acrylic suspension that the paint pigments are added to. You can use it to make your own paints, but more likely you’re going to use it to thin down already mixed paints. Unlike thinning with water, combining paint with more medium will slow down the drying time and give the pigments more time to settle into a tight consistent film over the surface you put it on. If you’re having problems with visible brush strokes or uneven drying you can thin your paints with medium.
>>98436536Not cringe at all. It's absolutely kino.
>>98436536So based James Workshop will come to your house and shake your hand. And every anon would give (you) a round of applause.
>>98436283This nigga is bipolar I swear to god. Every other video is “It’s so over, the hobby is dead, GW going out of business after this one.” then “WE ARE SO BACK! GW finally listening!”
>Want to commission STL maker to make STLs>Commissioned him before and was satisified>Send email>nothing>wait a few days>send another>nothingDid GW get him? I'm worried bros. There is him and another guy but the other guy charges too much so I'm basically without anybody to commission Warhammer 40k bits. Does anybody know of any particularly good STL makers that take commissions?
>>98436283this youtuber is a homosexual. He sucks and slurps like a good little guard player.
>>98436443I hope to finish him.
>>98436250There could a a clarity of purpose type deal, like with Abaddon in the >HH Siege of Terra books. As he's fighting for his life with no hope of escape, he realizes in the end he doesn't care about the Imperium, or Horus' ambitions, or even the Legion, all he ever wants is to keep fighting and measuring himself against others. Someone falling to Khorne could do something like that, have a very zenlike sense of "Yes, all I want in life is to fight enemies and get stronger". After all Khorne is a very straightforward and almost magnanimous God, all he wants is tribute via skulls earned in combat, preferably hand to hand, and in return he gives you gifts so that you can give him nicer skulls.>>98436536Bro, naming your models is, as he kids say, peak sovl. I bought a lot of Devastators a while ago and the previous owner had named all of the metal ones.
>>98436587Awesome stuff Wolfbro! He's a fun to paint model.
>>98436600stop ban evading
>>98436443I don't know. I just finished my dread for the collage, I've got 3 options that make sense to do next;5x RC RaidersHeldrake3x 3rd party marines on bikes a friend gave me as a gift that I can chaos-ify with bits.Speaking off, did we already do a poll for August?
>>98435427I always read it less as "assassin" (that's what lictors are for) and more of "here's a fuckhuge biological cruise missile dedicated to seeking and destroying enemy leadership or causing as much distraction and destruction as possible in the process to keep attention away from the front lines"Basically an in-universe distraction carnifex
>>98436393>twinYOu are not a teenage girl.
>>98436587Very good job on the blade!Is that acrylic ink thinned down or black painted heavily thinned down? It is impressive either way. The yellow is also good too. The blade looks very good. What bronze and yellow paints were used and orange as I think I see it for glazing or it is a darker yellow?
>>98434362arch is fine, but having to listen to him speak for more than 30 minutes is enough to drive me insane.
>>98436369>>98436378Anyone got the pic of the canned four armed xenos with cool blade pistols?
>>98436618>Arch is fine but I cannot bare to listen to him speakSo he's not fine? You should be able to listen to someone you like for more than 30mins and not feel like you're going mad
>>98435351Are any significant parts of the Warhammer 40k social media sphere concerned or even genuinely worried about this E-Celeb and his following getting into 40k? Any specifics for why? Any particularly funny reactions?
>>98436621I have that and all the rejected prototypes
>watching youtubers other than for painting guidesyou people fucking disgust me.
>>98436617Runes was black templar contrast thinned down.Bronze/gold is runelord brass, wash with agrax and ratling grime.

>>98436622he seems like a serviceable loretuber. he just has this annoying way of speaking that gets grating after a while.
>>98436633Holy shit top left is literally Upgrade from Ben 10
>>98436633I can see why these got canned.
What's the appeal of eldar?
>>98436633All of these would make amazing auxiliaries, but my favorite is still screaming pistol cyclops bro. Such an interesting and weird design.
>>98436649They attract feminine men who want to be dominated by their Male/Female partner
>>98436649They're very bratty and therefore molestable.
>>98436649They're the heroes of the setting
>>98436638>he seems like a serviceable loretuber.He literally makes shit up all the time and HATES people who actually participate in the tabletop
>>98436638He reads the fan wiki word for word with no greater understanding of the setting. He's a bottom of the barrel loretuber
Calling it done on my Collage Entry, got my War Trakk done. Also is 4chan X fucking up or something? It's been screwy for the last few hours.
The ONLY good loretuber is the Pontius. He's the ONLY one who seems to give a shit about the setting and actually reads.
>>98434362>>98436618>>98436622Warhammer 40k loretubers weren't that great to me beyond background noise. I'm not into Arch because of his voice.I do respect that he is so incredibly rent free in the heads of the archetypal Warhammer social media sectors like Reddit, xitter and poosky that "rent free" doesn't even begin to describe it. It is impressive to me. I wouldn't be able to handle such infamy, but it doesn't matter to me. Is Asmon who has been mentioned here also gonna join in on the rent free lordship over countless heads?I saw pic related a few times so I think the normies are catching on.I think it would be better if it had more labels like text showing he is rent free in the heads of the Warhammer social media normie spots and Trench Crusade too.I'm no expert in meme-craft and especially when it comes to making them funny and hard hitting.
>>98436649I like ayy lmaos with bright colors and curvy, bone-like armor
>>98436443Kommandos
>>98436681I love the tiger camo on your grot
>>98436633>>98436646Agreed, most of these are extremely Star Wars Prequel coded, really badly suited for 40k.
>genuinely playing (army I don't like)Couldn't be me, I only play the based (army I like)
>>98436676Arbitor Ian is the beest loretuber oldfag who actually gets the setting in a meta way. He's a left wing british guy so he makes the 40k grifters mad which is extra entertaining to me
>>98436688At least GW seemed to agree and we can see from the many minor xenos art we got from the second xenology book that they actually get what 40k xenos should look like. I hope one day we get a Khrave model or at least a character in the fluff
>>98436634I like some painting hobby channels. The youtube channels about miniature painting that only use as much as time is needed and avoid general Youtuber clickbait shenanigans for ad revenue are becoming very rare these days.Most of them are sponsored in some way by a hobby paint company. Sonic Sledgehammer is pretty good. Even when sponsorship from ArmyPainter is obvious, he handles it well.Dr. Faust I don't think is sponsored by anybody, and is pretty good for painting tutorials. His layering vs glazing tutorial still blows me away. >>98436688More than that. As anon of >>98436644 said. One of them looks too close to Upgrade from Ben 10.So close that GW could lose a court case even though they always rip things off.>>98436635Thanks anon!
>>98436696Unironically kill yourself.
>>98436649Do you like elves? Alternatively, do you like the kind of tech in sci-fi so advanced it is just magic?
>>98436714It's either the warsuit or the telefrag for my favorite that aren't the obvious titan stomp and malevolent. Hard to pick.
>>98436708See? Just saying you like him makes people seethe. While he doesn't engage in bullshit drama ever. The perfect loretuber, his videos are also just clearly the best as a cherry on top
>>98436696>left wing british Warhammer 40k loretuber>makes 40k grifters madWhat is a "grifter" in social media slang among the Warhammer 40k social media spaces? Is it exclusive to anything deemed right wing?How to not be a grifter as I ummm well...I want to make miniature painting tip tutorials. But I won't voice over them and wear gloves to hide my eczema hands and limp pale wrists. Won't even play music. At most there will be on screen subtitles edited in explaining tricks and I want the vids to mostly be less than 5 minutes long.paypal donation or ko-fi link included.What else do you lads want when you look for painting miniature videos so they aren't a hassle?
>>98436725He's an uninformed retard who regularly gets things wrong on both a meta level and in terms of just basic lore facts. Him being an obnoxious leftist who gets into fem-marines drama shitfits is just the cherry on top. I hope he contracts cancer.
>>98436728Nobody will watch then. People watch painting YouTubers based on their personalities.
>>98436728People who try to present the in universe nonseniscal political system of the Imperium as some kind of evidence of why they're political belief is 100% right and anyone who says 40k needs to be defended from the woke is a grifter.>spoiler Don't wear gloves, don't be ashamed of yourself just make the video, speak during it and be normal. No one will watch or donate to a totally silent gloved painting guide. >>98436731>uninformed retardNope he's not>on both a meta level Where and how>basic lore factslore and not fluff? Another sign of a grifter minded person.>lore factsThere are no 'lore facts' other than the most basic setting foundation stories. The fluff has constantly been changed, tinkered with misunderstod/ forgotten since the start. He makes videos going over how the fluff has changed over time he doesn't get stuff wrong.
>>98436738>Nobody will watch then. People watch painting YouTubers based on their personalities.Fair enough. Is the bar for what makes a good miniature painting channel very low though?I don't have a good voice. I don't have good narration. I have gotten a few voice cracks even over the age of 25. Life's been bad lately so if I did have a good personality, it has been corroded. And my miniature painting skills are not good enough after I gave it some thought.Also my past history beyond being a user of this site will be dug up from when I was particularly in a terrible spot so I will get cancelled hard.
>>98436728There's already so many paintubers out there, unless you are doing bespoke tutorials and/ore masterclass painting, I would try to make the videos entertaining or something to that effect as well. Take for example, Youtube's least unhinged scale modeler, Boxman.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fhoW9vTPJY
>>98436714Spam/lame
Do you varnish your models?
>>98436748>Nuh uhAlright that sounds about right for an arbitor Ian fan LOL
>>98436749I think you need to cheer the fuck up anon and stop doom spiralling>being a user of this site will be dug up Fucking how, don't think anyone capable of actually linking a specific youtube channel to be some random 4chan poster would give a fuck and general fans can never figure it out unles you tell them.> don't have a good voice.

No one else will be judging your voice as badly as you do.>And my miniature painting skills are not good enough after I gave it some thought.Brilliant there's your youtube channels angle>learn to paint with meOr some shit, make the basic mistakes and improve yourself people love that shit.

>>98435320come on, show us your army faggot
>>98435751total eldar death
>>98436688>>98436706Out of curiosity, what makes these less suited for 40K than say, Tarellians, Rak'Gol, Zoats, or any other minor xenos? Not saying you're wrong per se, but what makes a xenos species "40K coded" and what do these lack?
>>98436311shiould have bought combat patrol as yout first box
>>98436681Are the special weapons worth taking on Kommandos in 40K proper? Do they even have rules anymore or did they get Hand of the Archon'd? I haven't looked at 11th yet.
>>98436781I've got no clue, I'm afraid. I scored these lads built largely as is off a bits trade, only the Nob was still unassembled.
>>98436678arch started using ai slop thumbnails which is mega gay. also he's massive redditor, and not once mentioned /tg/. hell that diabetic eldar loving faggot is better represenative of a hobby than arch
Why watch lore YouTubers? There’s perfectly good books/audiobooks codexes and wiki pages.
I like goobertown. I can't wait to find out how many bodies are in that basement.
>>98436748I'm surprised Warhammer 40k analogies haven't been repeated made yet to the point where they get meme'd to death from all sides.The first sentence sounds a bit like Harry Potter analogies meme.The 'fictional character agrees with me' meme is mocked. Saw a number of pics.We've already had Avengers analogies being mocked and I think Star Wars got it too. I'm sure it happened with Game of Thrones and Lord of The Rings as well, but that orcposting meme probably doesn't count as it was more mockery than meant to be taken seriously I think.But that was mostly left leaning so by what you said being a grifter isn't exclusive to right wing.This means that if there is a Warhammer 40k youtuber who puts a 'woke' spin on his takes would technically count as a grifter too. I'm assuming you aren't a false flag /pol/er acting like a bad lefter.>>98436752I wonder if I should make my channel an "anti-Warhammer 40k loretubing channel" with deliberate unprofessionalism like eating chips while narrating wikis to the point where it becomes endearing. Probably already done.I think inside jokes run their course too quickly even in miniature painting channels. I could try absurdity while being a helpful painter. But I need to learn how to be funny first. Might be a good research thing while I pass the time while job hunting for a better one. >>98436762Is it really that bad to be associated with /tg/? Neckbeardia did harm /tg/'s fun making threads as anons thought they're Neckbeardia content farming so /tg/ shot itself into not being fun anymore so normies can't profit off it.I'm talking more about bad phases I went through. Never been 100% on board with pre-porn ban tumblr so hopefully that explains my concerns. And I was still in the phase in my early 20s it was more so mocking conduct and being bewildered by seeing validations of so many stereotypes.>chic black onesI have blue ones for my 3D printer but I get your point. >Show your faceNo.
so, what are the chances that this box will be announced tomorrow?
>>98436772First one is a humanoid shapeshifter, who makes guns from his bodyt and change his body plan. Great thats fine but he does look like he's based off of a Ben10 alien but concept could work with tweaks/ The centaurs with the man and longears just look like some WoW aesthetic to me. Same as the two legs, four arms and two torso designs, just feels childish and uninspired in execution.>2nd down, 3rd down 4th down on the left andthird down on the rightAll these designs have an unbalanced bodyplan.It to looks like they can't hold their own weight and would be fighting their own bodies just to move, the rib tusks would easily impale his own legs, elephant and seal tusks come from the mouth not the torso so it just looks bad.Bottom right as an insectoid centaur is interesting, with some tweaks could work since insects do have six limbs, making them gaint with guns is peak 40k.I also don't mind the four armed alien in an alien space suit, second down on the right. That could be cool the egg helmet reminds me of the Sontarans which isn't a terrible aesthetic. Just compare to the random unamed xenos from pic related, all these are peak 40k aesthetic. 40k needs to be over the top but in an in universe beleviable way
>>98436802I'm amazed Conan O'brien can put on a wig and put on a different voice and fool all of us.Has Goobertown at the very least leaned into the joke that he looks like a serial killer who disappears escorts he hires to use their hair to make DIY brushes for miniature painting?Is Goobertown technically a grifter of the Warhammer 40k community now because his stamp plate stuff is just rebranded hobby taxed make up nail stuff?
>>98436760of course, can't have that paint chipping!
>>98436760Not yet. I need to get my airbrush (gaahleri pistol grip advanced one) working again. I can't speak for it's quality because I'm not a very good handler of Airbrushes myself so I let the thing get dirty and need a list of restoration stuff to get it in working order again.My confidence was shattered relating to Gaahleri airbrushes when I saw a sponsored Youtuber (race for terra I think) showing that even kids can use the airbrush model I use and I'm messing up with it.
I'm sure everyone here, regardless of political leanings, can unite in one thing. HATING POORHAMMER PODCAST!
>>98436835oh yeah, fuck thos faggots.
>>98436835No we cannot because I am a big contrarian.I did not like TTS because of it's fans. I thought TTS itself was okay. It's loud fans not so much.Alfabusa chose a good time to stop his Warhammer 40k show. If it is true that GW did go after and cease and desist fan animators. Did GW really do that and why? And I read somewhere that Warhammer Plus may have been intended for GW to hire fan animators to pump out animations and allow themselves to make money, but didn't know about the reality of fan animators and their animations and so they quietly changed directions.Probably because of monetary reasons related to contracts that they just had to keep Warhammer plus going.Just a theory I have. Is it more expensive to just unplug Warhammer plus now than keep it on life support?
>>98436841>>98436835>>98436844 (me)What is wrong with Poorhammer podcast? I think I listened to one once, but what is it's big problem?Personally I think we should all agree r/grimdank is awful. Probably just used to farm upvotes.
>>98436847They're tasteless uninformed retards.
>>98436847their oppinions are retarded, they talk about using FW resin models, defeating the point of budget gaming, and they aprove of a lot of the new retcons
>>98436844>It's loud fans not so much.hello
Who at GW thought these points taxes for 2+ units was a good idea? This is the most retarded shit.I'm going to make up my own spreadsheet with fixed points values and use that instead. Fuck this bullshit. It makes zero sense.
>>98436851Any particular examples of this? I still think the Warhammer 40k subreddit r/grimdank should be universally hated here. The stuff looks like corporate interns making them. Maybe they'd be okay if they were genuinely made by underage lads but you know that is not the case far too many times.
Only /tg/ threads and /v/ lore threads are suitable for real fan discussions t b q h
>>98436869it hit me the most, since i run custodes, and my battleline is becoming more expensive day by day
>>98436873>/v/you have to go back
Dawn of war is cool.
>>98436884yes it is. it got me into 40k back in '06
>decide to sit down and actually read the Operation Imperator book>Ultramarines are all 1st and 2nd Company>none of the 3rd Company, the Xenos focussed company that feeds the Deathwatch Marines to learn how to kill Xenos betterWhat an odd decision. At least it establishes the position of “Honour Captain” to not tie your Captain model to any pre-existing named character.
I feel like a poser only getting into 40k 5months ago with Rogue Trader...
>>98436890does operation imperator has some pages about gameplay or other stuff like that?
>>98436897because you are. dude even i shithole like 2000's Poland people were able to get into warhammer.
>>98436868I would like it to apply to the more powerful models rather than universally, but overall I think it is a right train of thought. A tax for just taking 3x defilers with their busted data sheet is rightly, a tax for taking 3x Invictor warsuits is banditry.
>>98436900Operation Imperator is a pure narrative book, it has a fold out map and everything. It’s so you can paint your guys in line with the new war on Armageddon and know where their battles take place. Missions and how to set up a game are tied to the decks in 11th so far.
Should I paypig MSRP for the exodite box, or just wait for the individual release? I do want that book…
>>98436911so nothing lost then. good thinng i bought those 2 decks and rule book sepraretly.
should i buy datasheet cards, or is new recruit enough?
>>98436903Then defilers should be more expensive, full stop. Any unit that has a 20% tax on multiple units is either robbing you of points, or that unit isn't expensive enough baseline. A basilisk at 115 and then any others at 135 is highway robbery.
>>98436930I would stick to new recruit or other digital services. Physical data sheets are for casual games where you don’t care about whether your army has the latest balance update or not.
>>98436930New recruit is enough. Don't give GW any fucking money. Especially not after the latest reboxing scandal where they pulled all the Baneblade kits, removed the upgrade sprue, upped the price to $200 then charged an extra $25 for the upgrade sprue they just took from the box.
Thoughts on buying a team of ratlings because they're barefoot?
Posting my collage submission
>>98436948Nice. I don't know that model, is it converted?
>>98435121Not the most knowledgeable of how tactics of 10th/ going on 11th work but watch some battle reports weekly and keep an eye on tourney lists to see what is being played/winning.Of course, more ork boyz. Maybe some Pain-boyz/boy for your Ork boyz to give that Feel no Pain, and also some Ork kommandos for taking objectives. Theirs that named Grot-herder Hero that could work if you make a big enough blog of Gretchin. Ghazghull Thraka also is great with a big unit of boyz or Meganobz.Other than that you have a list close to what competitive Ork players use, but with far less Ork boyz. Your main objective will be how you choose what heroes to lead what units and in what transports. And maybe try to see if a different detachment could work better for what you have since you really dont have alot of models that benefit Dread Mob, from what i see.
https://www.acdd.com/account-application/Who are these guysI was looking for shit to buy and found a GW distributor?Can I pretend to be a small business and order in bulk and then sell the extras?
>>98436914Buy the book separate on ebay and wait for the box
Anyway Here is my collage submission
>>98436796Ah, well they look great regardless. Excellent work, anon!
does every gw store have a display titan?
>>98437037this looks like child
>>98436970nta but it's a BT marshal with the upgrade sprue head and the back banner
>>98437027I like that effect on the sail
>>98436815I mean yeah, you accurately described those designs and then posted some other designs but I was hoping for an actual aesthetic analysis of what makes these guys 40K and those guys not. Especially since a lot of people like to levy the same complaint at tau without really describing what they mean. Is it the weird bodyplans? Are they not dirty enough? What "it" factor are they missing? Because personally I feel like the four armed not-Fimir in the bottom right would look perfectly at home in that spread you posted. The rest I sort of agree with on various levels, though I could see the four-armed Moltar ripoffs also making an appearance in some obscure Deathwatch blurb about a mysterious unknown xenos force
>>98437033Damn, Bad Moons looted a titan
>>98436970Cheers, that's the regular BT Marshall with some bits from the upgrade sprue, like the banner and helmet
>>98436815A guy in my LGS kitbashed up one of those little white orb niggas as part of his Court of the Archon.
>>98437018Says what it does on the tin, they're a distributor - The companies that own and run the actual warehouses where stock is kept and shipped out to stores/clients. It depends on the distributor but you can try it and see if they accept you but usually you need to supply verifiable proof that you own a business, there will at least be a zoom/phone call conversation. It's not illegal (do not quote me on this I don't know every state's licensing or tax policies) but most distributors aren't going to be interested in selling to individuals unless you're buying bulk. There would likely be a minimum order you need to fulfill. So, if you are a whale buying entire army lists every month you could be good to go, if you only want a kit now and then it's just not worth their time because you're not their kind of customer.
>>98437037A season's feetings to you too friend!
So are Orks getting another combat patrol? I don’t want beast snaggas
>>98437062If you don't accept the beast snaggas I'll be sending our legal team to snag your beast if you know what I mean.
>>98437065
>>98434189>>98427215
>>98437062The new Combat Patrol is the new Start Collecting box with the Armageddon stuff minus the Big Mek Dakka Rig, Painboy, Bannernob, and Bigboss.
Testing out a tau list before knowing what I need to get painted before a tourney. :D
>>98437049>Because personally I feel like the four armed not-Fimir in the bottom right would look perfectly at homeYeah I agree he's the best>an actual aesthetic analysis of what makes these guys 40K and those guys not.That's an easy thing to ask but a hard one to answer. I'm not a designer I can only goo with my gut feelings. They just don't look right. They aren't inspired by fantasy ideas and tropes since 40k isnt real sci-fi but space fantasy. Space orks work, space elves, dwarves, humans, Admech are space vampire counts with undead being cyborgs that might be alive. These creatures have no design based on irl fantasy beasts or folklore, they're just designed to be sterile 'alien', Kroot are the noble savage aliens, tau the foreign people but aren't a joke in a fight. Those designs are just a nothing
>>98436476it begins
>>98437160>That's an easy thing to ask but a hard one to answerYeah I know, that's why I'm trying to muddle it out for myself. Like I said I by and large agree with you, I'm just trying to logic out WHY I agree with you. Some certainly look too clean, like the ornate bugmen near the bottom. The cat centaur at top right feels like something out of oddworld rather than 40K. Pic related is cool with its weird second torso sprouting out of the "neck" of the first, but it feels more like something you'd see on the cover of a 1950s space opera than in 40K. And a lot of the rest feel less like something you could extrapolate a whole army out of and more like one-off enemy types from a B-grade scifi FPS if that makes sense.Hell, even the not-Fimir I like so much I don't think has the makings of a whole faction without some serious workshopping. It feels more like a one-off character model for Necromunda or something, or at best a small squad of tau auxiliaries/DEldar xeno mercs
>>98437190Good taste in mobile suits but holy shit thin your paints
>>98437190Hyaku Shiki?
>>98437209it's the gloss varnish once it's matted down it'll be right >>98437234ye
>>98437244Ew gross its ratfag
>>98436423>Taurllians proper etcI can see Tarellian Kill Team, which would be usable by both Tau and Dark Eldar
I really struggle with getting a feel for how strong space marine armor is.In one instance they are like a tank and in the other they get killed by regular ork shootas.
>>98437269>usable by both ___ and ___gw won't do that, they're dumb
>>98437249Are you retarded?
>>98436847They're magic the gathering players who pivoted their podcasting hobby towards 40k to find an audience. They just don't really know what they're talking about most of the time due to limited knowledge and experience. Terrible taste in aesthetics is forgivable, but hearing guests give up arguing with their braindead hot takes about rule changes after 15 minutes of a 2 hour pod is sad.
>>98436844>If it is true that GW did go after and cease and desist fan animators. Did GW really do that and why?nah, transfagbusa made a grift out of it
>>98434478Ya, you need some dedicated anti tank. So bring the mono with death rays. Or you need heavy D. I like doomsday arks and a monolith.
>>98437270"Ork shoota" is a very fucking wide category of weapons anon. It can vary from ork to ork from a simple chemically propelled slug thrower to an actual railgun.Also, the marine armor is as durable as the plot needs it to be.
How true is this?
>>98436844>If it is true that GW did go after and cease and desist fan animators. Did GW really do that and why?They did.>Why?Because they were in direct competition to GW's own WH+ streaming service.GW's paid service wouldn't be able to compete with people who make shit for free. It's the reason why GW first poached all of the youtube channels who were making any sort of content.It wasn't because GW wanted to hire fans out of the goodness of its heart, no it was purely done to buy them out and then bind them with a contract that will prevent them from being competition in the future.Their contracts 100% have a non-compete agreements written into them.Alfa himself didn't get any cease and desist, but he decided to stop while he is ahead before GW comes knocking. And it made sense too because he was the biggest 40k animation channel at the time, but he also had become a father shortly before GW did the community guideline update where they threathened cease and desist action.Obviously, Alfa doesn't want to risk his own livelyhood or being dragged into legal bullshit when he has a child he needs to raise and provide for.Also lot of the cease and desist thing exists as a deterrent to scare away any new potential animators, to prevent any future competition.Also remember, GW is at this point a multi-billion dollar corporation with a yearly revenue of 200 million british pounds.If GW takes you into court, you will lose for the simple reason that you are a plebian citizen and have less money and they will drag out the court procedings until you're penniless and in poverty.
Would it be an overkill to bring a Deamon Prince to a 250pts game? My LGS wants to start an escalation league and to my surprise there are no additional listbuilding restrictions. I have a Daemon Prince model that I had no chance to use yet so I thought about making it my General and keep it for the whole span of the league until we all reach 2000pts.
>>98436443Finishing converting this chunky boi
>>98437390GYATTTTT
>>98437390>250pts game?nigga, that's just for 2 normal units, don't be a dick
How do we solve the scalper problem, guys? This one sold out in one minute from the freaking bots.
>>98437390Just one?
>>98437406legalize killing scalpers on sightor gw could actually make enough product to meet demand>tfw missed out on both shadowhunt and exodites
>>98437429>gw could actually make enough product to meet demandEngland does not posses enough power production for all the factories GW needs, they'd have to off shore
>>98437390She needs bigger breasts.
>>98437433yeah just like how The Pokemon Company can't just print more cards to satisfy demandslollmao
>>98437429Making more stock would hardly help because all scalpernigs use shit like bots to insta buy everything they can as soon as it is possible.
>>98437438see my first point then>>98437433reinvest in nuclear
>>98436378I'm surprised I haven't seen anybody try to convert and paint up some Tau like their old concept art. Seems like an easy thing to do that'd look really good.
>>98437378Why would it be incorrect?If you only play casually, then it's only half as important. As these lists, use meta units only.
man, there was a massive line before GW store.
>>98437406If it prevents you from wasting your money on overpriced 'collector's edition' bullshit, then you should consider it a good thing
>>98437394I'm not trying to be a dick, I never played 40k before and I have no idea how killy shit is. I have a shit ton of 40k minis that I used for all kind of alternative wargames so I want to finally try THE slop.
>>98437270>I really struggle with getting a feel for how strong space marine armor is.3+
>>98437406>How do we solve the scalper problem, guys?Made to order preorders at the moment of announcement.
>>98437489500pts is the minimum for learning. 1000pts can be a real game if you both try not to cheese. But 1500 an above is where it's balanced.
>>98436812What's the point of a lance that doesn't extend past the bike?
>>98437522you attack them from the side
>>98437522it flies, it just has to point it down, or hit during a curving fly byunfortunately warhammer as a ruleset gives the impression that cavalry and bikes just slam into things head on
all being squatted and replaced with new ones
>>98437406why are the books being scalpedAnyway there are a couple of scalpers in thsi thread who start crying when you talk about outlawing the practuce.
>>98437530I seriously hope the fuck not, their plastic kits are great, just add more stuff and update what's missing and what's resin
>>98437530I don't think you know what squatting means
>>98437429>sneedowhuntThe fun thing is that GW actually puts the preorders up 5 minutes before you can buy, so you can add it to your cart on their website.Some 3rd party sites also 'lock' your cart for 10 minutes once you've added the stock so it doesn't get raped like it does on shitholes like ebay.Also LGSs which don't have a section showing the warhammer products they carry/don't do delivery usually end up with Relics like Indomitus or Kill Team Hivestorm boxes left over years later simply because it's too much of a pain for scalpers to go through every train and magic card and funkopop store to find the ones which also have a warhammer section they never advertise.
>>98437530this is what discontinued looks like. GW don't keep much stock of their range because warehouse and distribution costs are so high (higher than manufacturing). the whole business relies on selling >60% of every print run to trade partners before release, their stores are secondary.
>>98437541instructions unclearUpdated and resold at a newer, higher price since they're the best selling drukhari kits. Plus they get a named character like vect or something.
I want to get the Free Boy to round out the 28 boyz I have but I can't think of any paints I explicitly need anymore. I have a load.
>>98437550>>98437543>>98437543>>98437530NTA but just before ogors in aos got their update revealed a whole bunch of the line quickly turned into temporarily out of stock.
>>98436754Nah its based
>>98437530There's no way Drukhari gets a new codex after less than a year
>>98437576Actually I could 100% see GW doing that kek
>>98437576There is a history of armies jumping the queue between editions and having books replaced with absurdly short time-frames, pic related always jumps to mind
>>98437585Makes sense for GW if they want to Drukharimaxx too. Dump them out now, people gotta buy new stuff after buying new stuff a year ago. Double your money with minimal effort.
New Thread>>98437624>>98437624>>98437624
>>98437576Why not. It would be first release wave for them. 12th starter would have them again. Good enough spread
