*rapes you as you scroll past*
>ended up scoring a second copy of the orks half of Armageddon for freeCan anyone think of some neat kitbash ideas to make the models feel more unique? I've got a Goff rokkerboy I never painted laying around that I cpuld mix up with the weirdboy to make a weirdrokker playing a facemelting guitar solo, but I could use some ideas for the dakkarig, wartrakk, and various special units like bigboss and painboy
>>98459272what did they mean by giving them a neofane?
>>98459278can't you make the bigboss into a big bass player for the rocker?also grab mek guns bits to give alternative weapons to the rig and trakk
>>98459278The vehicles smashed together could be a pretty sweet grot tank
>>98459265>TQKnee.
>>98459272does he have a snakeussy
I don’t like sisters of battle or imperial guard or orks or knights or any of the chaos lines besides demons (and even then I don’t like them because they aren’t fully utilized).
>>98459313typical cuntstodefag
Would World Eaters benefit from having maw-bellied L'Oréal models in their army range? The concept seems well received in other Warhammer IPs.
>>98459228>no>yesWhy?What're the fun melee guys?
>>98459339As a WEfag its not something I've ever sat down and said to myself, 'hey this is what WE models are missing and I want to see!'I guess I might not mind depending on the sculpt
For the collage, does the defeated foe have to BE a trophy or can it be either/or
>>98459343Because standing at max weapon range and blasting opponents off the board is gayAll of them that are designed to do damage are fun, gigatank units are almost as gay as shooting units
>>98459366Don’t think so hard about it.
Would Infinity's Lament count for the collage? It's a defeated guy, but not necessarily a foe.
>>98459265>TQPro
>>98459339Stomach mouths are a nurgle thing tho.I'd also accept chaos ogres from fantasy. I think it looks lame on anything not a nurgle marked champ or a daemon.>>98459272I don't like his wings
>>98459386The rapid fire keyword is supposed to encourage getting closer with shooting units, but GW doesn't put rapid fire on many anti-armor weapons so we're back to square 1 of camping max range and slugging it out because of armorspam, both on tanks and infantry.The only rapid fire guns I can think of with any amount of anti-armor are autocannons, and they're not exactly good in that role vs. their alternatives (lascannons, mostly).
>>98459472I appreciate the Dunecrawler drill arm and the work you put into your army, Sallydude.
>>98459472Shut up namewhore.
>Alpha Legion get a powerful Daemon Prince character that leads the biggest Alpha Legion warband in the galaxy>Takes the form of a hydra with three heads like their chapter symbol>Denies being Alpharius (sometimes)>Everyone outside the legion suspect its the daemon primarch Alpharius Would people accpet this retcon of a primarch coming back to life (maybe)
>>98459278did a space marine player just give them away to you
>>98459339please just give us the red butchers, berzerkers with heavy weapons and butcher surgeon it's really not hard and I don't understand GW's massive resistance to the concept.
>>98459499Primarch wank is fucking gay. The big four should have been ultra rare apocalypse units only.
>>98459511>The big four should have been ultra rare apocalypse units only.Sorry whats the chaos god got to do with primarch wank? Do you mean their daemon primarchs?
>>98459499it sounds fine on paper but you just know everyone would take it for granted that it actually is primarchmysteries in this context basically don't work unless you give explicitly wrong information with a straight face
>>98459477It’s a general chaos mutation. Only deathguard monopolized the mutation thing and it’s why all other chaos ranges in 40k suffer because of it.>>98459509Red butchers are a 30k thing that makes no sense forwarding into 40k. Read their lore you dunce. Sides they would just turn them into super special obliterates instead.
>>98459509Just play HH if you want to play HH units, it's that easy.
>>98459532>>98459533Kill yourselves retarded niggerfaggots
>>98459526>give explicitly wrong information with a straight face40k should do this more, contradictory info in the same codex by different groups/adeptus
>>98459532>>98459533Death Guard and Thousand sons have both of their terminators>special obliteratorswowGuess what World Eaters don't have access to?
>>98459537>i want to do thing>ok then go do thing>fuck youshrug
>>98459532>>98459533They're in the lore for 40k as of 9th edition you braindead retards, I agree with the other anon, kill yourselves posthaste
>>98459520NTA but that's obviously what he means.
>>98459511this, except no primarchs at all. they belong in 30k. adding primarchs into 40k ruins the setting, because what was supposed to be read as mythologised, and deified history is now just real. no one was mistaken, no one aggrandised or lied or was so overcome with zealotry that they fudged any documents regarding the primarchs and the heresy into religious dogma. it was just all real. theres no room for doubt and it ruins 40k
>>98459558if you're that mad about it, why not just destroy people's primarch models at your LGS and kill the GW writers, artists and sculptors responsible?
>>98459548>Guess what World Eaters don't have access to?A reason to exist outside of csm? >>98459551Post it then. It makes no sense to keep what was deemed as a punishment in 40k when they lost all sense of cohesion to warrant that.
>>98459558eh, as he suggests a daemon primarch in epic-scale/apocalypse point scale would be better representations than dying to 110 chainsword attacks with rerolls
>>98459509No you will get eightfold exalted eightbound instead.
>>98459548WE have terminators retard.
>>98459579only if he's got 8 arms
>>98459520The big 4 daemon primarchs.>>98459558Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. The problem is that GW has made rare/unique stuff normal.There's a reason why special characters needed approval of all players.There's a reason why apocalypse was a separate way of playing.It's also counter-productive, since you need to nerf these powerful units for them to work, even in 2k games.It was always better to keep them special.
>think grey hunters are cool>can't think of any non-SW carbine + chainsword unit I could use them as a proxy for
>>98459604a marine on foot with a gun and sword is an assault intercessor, get over the gun retardation
>>98459604>use bolters to make bigger tacticals>use chainsword as supply for sgtsEasy
>>98459568Stop posting retard>>98459580Again, kill yourself immediately
>>98459622Sounds like you already have your red butchers son.
world eaters need dudes on bikes
Human women prefer Eldar menNo one wants human men
>>98459366As always it is left up to your interpretation. Collageanon isn't picky.
>>98459631Suckstart a shotgun
>>98459611Blood claws are already assault intercessor proxies.
>>98459640>We got our own codex and two model waves but we want MOREChaosfags... But seriously I feel you. The god legion microfactions are probably the worst mistake GW has ever made. It doesn't work in AoS and it certainly doesn't work in 40k where your faction goes from 50 datasheets to 7.
If you're here drawanon I just wanna say your doodles are great, just saw them last thread
>>98459593Mortarians design here is sick, nurgle should definitely have a grim reaper type demon instead of just infinite green slop
I like orks :D
>>98459386Watching the autist seethe when he can't walk from one deployment zone to the other and win is pretty fun, too.>NO I WON'T BRING ANY SHOOTING! IT'S NOT IN MY FACTION'S LORE!
>>98459702I wasn't aware that anon was a longstanding shooting seether. Is less gay than he makes it out to be?
>>98459584Hes riding a chariot drawn by 8 juggernauts and has 8 arms with 8 axes all of widly different designs, the model is 8 inches tall.
>>9845955830k novels are in-universe fanfiction
>>98459343>Why?Some armies are so shooty they disallow you from playing the game.>What're the fun melee guys?Custodes. They kinda sorta resolve this problem by being tanky.
I need some war walkers for my army but idk if I want to buy them because they might(?) get a refresh
insider here, stormboyz will be the next ork kill team and burna boys/lootas are gone forever. screencap this
GW should give generic /yourdudes/ space marines bonuses to make up for the lack of op named epic heroes. But they won't. Game's gone.
>>98459718Is survivability the main key to having a pleasant melee aspect to your army?
>>98459729Depends on if you actually want to hit things.
>>98459727If the guy on the other side of the table isn't a fun-hating tourneyfag, he'll let you use a generic unit of equal status as a proxy for said op named epic hero.I've played a generic Cadian Castellan (or the guy who comes in the Baneblade kit) using Ursula Creed's unit card for my homebrew regiment in quite a few games, no one complains about it because we're both playing /ourdudes/ and doing this shit.Find opponents who play the game the way you do. If you live in ass-fuck nowhere it's harder of course, but never impossible.
>>98459729not necessarily, but if you want your dudes to actually make contact with the enemy they either have to be fast enough to get there in 1 movement or survivable enough to waddle across the board and not get blown to smithereens
>>98459766Nah herohammer sucks, actually.
>herohammer tourneyfags seething at hh tables and narrative /yourdudes/ leaguesyou love to see it.
>>98459729Glass canon melee armies are pretty fun too if you know how to use them. Still got to have some shooting support to soften targets first though.
Awoo with me sisters!
>>98459520You're such a fag
Can marines in power armor cross their arms?
>>98459841Whomst art thine quoth??
>>98459841Are the herohammer tourneyfags in the room with us
>>98459879Finish your hellblasters
Whats the state of Ork Walkers now?
Hellblasters status?
What if instead of having to muck about with LGS discords and facebook groups and weird in-the-moment pickup games, there was an app like grindr but for 40k? Everyone is anonymous, you can post your minis to advertise, and you get to chat with someone first and tell them what kind of player you are before agreeing to play a game with them. It could even include location distance so you know who is in town and who is probably in the next town over, or you could search a location you're going to visit soon to see who's available so you can chat people up for games. You could also use it to have gay sex, of course.
starcannons should have the assault keyword to give players a reason to bring them over shuriken cannons and bright lances.>>98459722the war walker model is honestly fine, only shit part is the pilot screen part not always lining up perfectly with its mounting point. the midhammer version also comes with weapon bits that are slightly different from the the modern bits, but it shouldn't be an issue if you have other kits that come with bright lances and whatnot.
>>98459930didn’t the quartering have the exact same thing for MTG and it was a flop?
Are Sentinels (either variant) still haha funny "bring as many as possible" in a Designation Force list, or have recon squads supplanted them?
New Eldar faction pack out with some errata and dinosAlso some cut outs for different terrain environments if you want to kill your printer ink
To what extent can you focus the higher points-per-dollar models on the more shittily priced armies while also walking away with a good 1000 point list?
>>98459954Well it flopped because there wasn't the gay sex function. My hypothetical 40k app would make shitloads of money because I'd open it up to secondaries who want to have gay sex with other secondaries. Such is the cost of making a successful game finding app.
>>98459995heavily depends on the army, Genestealers for example cannot make a decent aberrant focused build right now, and it will still require a bunch of expensive neophytes or characters because those are the 1DP detachments you can mix with biosantic.
>>98460060I'm mainly asking for admech, which if memory serves has the worst PPD ratio of any army. But I'm also just generally curious about how easy it is to make good elite/low model count lists for armies as a whole.
>>98460080Admech will just break your heart. I spent years of 10th and into 11th to try to make a decent PPD list and it broke me.
>>98460121I've looked through maybe a dozen of their units on wahapedia and a 32mm base with a single shrub probably has a better PPD than most of the units I saw.
>>98460138if you're going to play admech you have to give up and buy chinese recasts. There is no other way.
>>98460138The worst part is that the army feels so miserable to play, even if by some miracle you stumble across a list that will not break the bank. As someone who hates meta bullshit, Admech seemingly only can be played that way, or you have to completely ignore the combat and only play objectives. Shit really is horrible.
>>98460161I remember being a teenager, seeing a box of skitarii rangers before I even knew about 40k, and thinking they were cool.From a distance it looks like admech is basically a giant middle finger to every type of 40k collector.
>>98459890They always are, lurking in the shadows.
I know there are illegal cults to Tau’va on Tau worlds, but are the worshippers subject races or actual Tau?
Whatever happened to crucible of champions, now that we're into 11th?
>>98460217I dunno about tabletop but I think admech looks really cool, I love their aesthetic
>>98460233I think tau are like blanks and necrons in that they do have a reflection in the warp, so they cannot manifest a god themselves. It doesn’t stop them from falling into a cult though.
>>98460247The same place all end-of-edition narrative /yourdudes/ stuff goes, the dumpster bin of history
>>98460233subject races, the tau themselves do not worship the greater good, to most tau the idea of seeing the greater good as an entity instead of an ideology is an abominable contortion of their mentality.
>>98460274About what I figured. Why do I get the feeling GW has malice against /ourdudes/?
>>98460300Adding on to this I also feel like GW has malice against their own dudes if they're even remotely niche.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98459509Id settle for access to legionaires and havoc. WE HAVE THOSE IN THE LORE TOO!
>>98460161A lot of factions are like this right now, you either bring meta jank (which usually requires buying a good few expensive models) or play for points and not really have fun (regardless of if you win or lose).>>98460252NTAThere's a couple very clearly "Flash Gordon/1920s-50s Popular Science covers" units in the AdMech roster (Kastelans, Skorpius, flyers sans their bat wings) that clash with the "gritty mad science" vibe of the rest of the roster. Some units are overly "clean" and rounded, the rest are very sharp and seem "grimy" for lack of better terms.Either could work in 40k if they fully invested in either direction, but together they feel distended to me.
>>98460334It must feel great to love and draw a literal who multiple times and then have them get a character after a decade.
>>98460342>buy guitar string>cut it into short lengths glue it all over all models>now they're all consistently grimdarkyou're welcome bro
>>98459989The exodite points are worth it, I'm gonna grab some off eBay and make a little 5-man hunting pack.Hoping I can make my SoB friend pick up a few units when they get a charge off.
>>98460345either that or have an absolute meltdown because they butchered the character (or they got something slightly wrong about them)
>>98460274It's funnier when you remember Eldar Corsairs were launched without a generic Corsair Prince or Void Dreamer because the crucible allowed you to create your own.>>98460338Also the Berzerker Jetpack lord, which you could create from the Crucible rules. But not anymore.>>98460300>they're not buying OUR models, they're kitbashing some shit from shit they already own- those bastards!Makes it too easy to 3d print stuff and say it's 100% gw if it's a totally custom my dude model
>prepare for trouble!>and make it double!
which army will net me more bitches? eldar or dark eldar?
>>98460363I just do a counts as kharseth/yriel
>>98460370Deldar will net you trans girlsEldar will also net you trans girls
>>98460368aren't these guys just the same size as the normal possessed? Though their models seem tougher and cooler.
>>98460368foreverially squatitized
What are some good Adeptus Mechanicus novels? I was looking into the ones made by Rob Sanders but I don't know if it's part of a trilogy or they're all individual stories.>Adeptus Mechanicus>Adeptus Mechanicus Tech Priest>Adeptus Mechanicus SkitariusAny other Adeptus Mechanicus book recommendations would be most welcomed.
>Kharseth accompanied Yriel to speak before the Seer Council of Iyanden about distancing the Craftworld from the Ynnari within the Chamber of Starfall Sorrow and accompanied the Eldritch Raiders on the Masque of the Midnight Sorrow's quest into the Nightmare Gulf.[2] Why does yirel hate the ynnari now I thought he was friends with them or something.
Most people are too stupid and weak willed to make use of the ruinous powers without falling to their corruption. Not me though. I'm built different.
>>98460272If Tau don't manifest in the warp doesn't that mean that they are the best choice to become the dominant population in the galaxy so chaos would starve out and peace can finally come to the grim darkness of the far future?
>The Eldritch Raiders are a fleet of Eldar Corsairs under the command of Prince Yriel. Though Yriel and his Corsairs have officially left their Craftworld of Iyanden to raid Imperial shipping, the Eldritch Raiders still respond to the call of their Craftworld in times of need.[1] Their raids have been responsible for claiming over eleven thousand Human, Hrud, Ork, Chaos, and T'au ships.[2] >HrudWhy do Hrud get so many mentions in lore as though they are a major faction, in 30k they say there are Hrud in the shadows of every slumworld lurking and are as numerous as Orks, but they have never had a model even in oldhammer times.
>>98460449they do have souls, just small ones
>>98460401>SPESS MARINE MEDIC>not apothecary larp
>>98460363>Makes it too easy to 3d print stuff and say it's 100% gw if it's a totally custom my dude modelIn an ironic twist of things, GW fuckery has started turning me towards the idea of learning how to pose and proont custom guys for display purposes. It's also turning me off from actually getting into the gaming part of the hobby.
bro when the fuck are we getting space skaven>but tha-I don't care retard I want rats in space
>>98460474name ONE (1) niche they could have that isn’t taken up by an already existing faction.
>>98460429Forge of Mars series. Mechanicus. its 30k but good. Titanicus, the old one.
>>98459499>>Takes the form of a hydra with three heads like their chapter symbolthis is fucking lame
>>98460449I mean, that’s kinda what the necrons tried ain’t it? Best choice is kinda subjective.>>98460457You sure? I am not, but doesn’t soul = warp reflection = psychic? Tau have zero psychic capability.
GW choosing to pretend the daemon side of the chaos legions doesnt exist has been quite bad for World Eaters, they realistically should be fielding them
>>9846048490% of the factions in the game have overlap with other factionsYour argument holds no ground troon
>>98460455>but they have never had a model even in oldhammer times.Too sneaky and shifty, can't get a good image to sculpt from. They'll probably drag them out when they need to push a killteam set vs deathwatch or something.
>>98460484Ability to shoot in engagement rangetaget your own units to fulfill score cards
>>98460488you need a minimum soul size to have psychic powers which t'au don't reach, but they are not nulls, or they'd be immune to daemons, which they are not, as they've already fought against daemons before.
>>98460504being able to shoot through your own guys by default would be funchaos knights can do it in iconoclast fiefdom can do it but only by a stratagem I think (and it's not worth it)
>>98460474>I want rats in space*monkey’s paw curls*
>>98460440there was a time where gw was planning a primaris-like reinvention of the eldar, among other developments*, with ynnari as the unifying keystonethat plan was then discarded shortly after the very first steps for more conservative updates of the eldar model linesbut gw had already written pretty much all major eldar characters as supporting the ynnari one way or another, but now they're no longer needed as a centralising thing and are being pushed into a corner as a niche option for an eldar-soup option rather than the new standard for all eldaras a result all the characters that had some kind of involvement with them are getting written making a step back, so each of them better sits centrally in their respective spots instead of being satellites to the ynnari*the simultaneous death/consumption of slaanesh in both 40k and aos
>>98460495but what about the daemonhost battleforce.
>>98460515I mean it's a start right? I guess...
>>98460474>bro when the fuck are we getting space skavenNeverYour one and only hope is that GW feels that necromunda ratskins are both simultaneous too necessary for new content and also too racist so they decide to replace them with actual humanoid rats instead
>>98460516>there was a time where gw was planning a primaris-like reinvention of the eldar, among other developments*, with ynnari as the unifying keystonethis also killed off the malerion and umbraneth plotline since he was going to become the 6th chaos god in age of sigmar
>>98460449Don’t forget about tyranids, they are almost like “imaginary number" tier where they reflect a “negative” warp presence that fucks up everything.>>98460505I didn’t know that nulls were immune to deamons. Does this mean that they cannot be possessed? Or that a deamon who has physically manifested cannot hurt them? The later of the two doesn’t make much sense to me.
>>98460484Space marines overlap with every other race though
>>98459265TQFuck Skub. Acquire Scarub!
>>98459727All non-named characters should have a laundry-list of wargear and upgrades to take. Removing them took out a huge chunk of 40k's soul
>>98460533I don't recognize the make and model of these eldar helmets
>>98460474The AoS team will bomb nottingham before they give the rats up
>>98460515>someone is bathing the rats on necromunda
>>98460529yeah, it touched ALL the elven model lines except sylvaneth, khainites and idoneth, and it's why it took gw so long to update or release the elven/eldar armieslight elves too were scrapped and reworked from the ground up once the plot to kill slaanesh was cancelled, their fluff is all a huge inside reference to what went behind the scenes
>>98460551>their fluff is all a huge inside reference to what went behind the scenesdo they take shots at the management?
Can /ktg/ ever return?
>>98460530>Or that a deamon who has physically manifested cannot hurt them?it obviously depends on the strength of the null but more like daemons have more trouble staying manifested the more and stronger nulls are around. Fireballs will fade, illusions will be dispelled, daemons will become weaker or outright vanish when getting close, etc.
Are corsairs even a variant army or is it just a detachment with a keyword for half a dozen units?
>>98460429Tech Priest and Skitarius are quite good. Clade is a short story that takes place between the two.
>>98460563No, but it says that the lumineth we now see are the result of a reinvention the entire faction went through after their previous golden age civilisation strayed too close to the sun and did too many drugs in hubris.
>>98460530nta Depends on how much of a null or a blank they are, its like anti-psycher levels. Operates on the same handwavey as powerful as the plot demands as psycher tiers. iirc blanks are just less succeptable to warp stuff, where are nulls are actual holes in the the warp that effect the areas around them and can be effected by various acheotech like the fancy hat Culexus have or pariahs. Bequin was hard for a very powerful daemonhost to effect as directly but not impossible, Ravenor's blank had a on/off switch that effect range and how shitty it was to be around him. Tau blankness is probably a bit different too, I forget which codex has allusions to them being genetically modified to be so.
>>98460565I think until they return to form and let you build-a-bear your killteam then there likely just isn’t enough to talk about.
FOUR (4) Necron players at my local league.I don't blame them for chasing the meta when there are prices on the line, but HOYL FUCK.
Somewhere out there some nigga bought a scalped Spectre Squad back in April for 120 bucksCouldn't be me hahaha>>98460565I remember bitching about how the Terror at Devlan box was bullshit because it had no terrain back in march and some faggot kept getting mad because I was hurting GW's feelings. Funnily enough the exodite box is worse so I had no clue just 4 months ago that within 2 months of Devlan's release GW would make a worse box that cost more and had less.
>>98460588>build-a-bearI am now reminded that TW WH 3's Yuri traded being from a bear country to being a build-a-bear character. Ironic.
>>98460565I made those threads for the longest time and quit because 4 years of support is a fucking disgrace. This is not a card game GW.
>>98460565Why? Kill Team as a gone stopped existing years ago. It's just Warhammer: Underworlds: 40,000 now
>normies ruined the internet when posting on the internet became mainstream>normies ruined dnd when playing dnd became mainstream>40k is now showing up in normie spaces because the cloud of locusts has detected something of value they want to move on to nextwe're fucked
>>98460571Ok that’s kinda what I was picturing. Deamons already fade without sufficient worship or rituals nearby, so it makes sense that you could even go negative to make them fade faster.>>98460586>blanks vs nullsIt didn’t click for me that there was a difference. But I guess that makes sense, cause necrotyr were non-warpy (blanks?) but they still made the pariah gene to go even further beyond.>tauMy favorite non-canon-but-it-was-more-fun-when-James-played-along bit is that tau are (or are descendants of) the the necrotyr.
>>98460618>nowWhat is this brand of retardation called?
>... so it's not really heretical, because if the Callidus Assassin is shapeshifted as an Eldar and just hasn't un-shapeshifted yet, then she's still human, so there hasn't been any actual touching between me and a xenos...
>>98460583Are all 3 of these books connected? Because it sounds like it is as it's Mechanicus vs Iron Warriors.

>>98460633Yes, it is a duology and short story linking the two. Highly recommend it, just know it will suck if you play Admech to get such a good story only for the army to be ass. Take it from an Admech player.

>>98460653lollmaoBut what are the oranges for, anon?
>>98460618As someone who lived through both of those events and watched them with my own eyes, yeah it sucks that it's starting with 40k. I've watched the worst kind of person, who are obviously new, on both ends of the political spectrum saying the stupidest shit about 40k and I'm sad it will only increase as time goes on.But as with dnd, you have your group that you already play with, and you can mostly pretend the locusts don't exist. The rules changes and art/flavor/aesthetic catering to these new low-quality people that will come from the developer, but maybe we'll get lucky and there won't be as much, compared to stuff like pathfinder, dnd, and mtg, who have all bent over backwards to change their setting and aesthetic to suit a small minority of people who aren't even longtime fans. Maybe we'll be...the exception. You can always hope.
>>98460621>blanks vs nulls I don't know if there was a lot of elaboration on it beyond the Eisenhorn, Ravenor and incomplete Bequin series. There's stuff scattered in the 2nd-4th ed codexes range, but I don't think even the inquisitor game has much to do with them. Not very familiar with the FFG ttrpg stuff, might be more there.
>>98460655They've already been nerfed once and still have both a positive winrate and a disproportionate number of event wins

>>98460675People don't even play the videogames or watch the animes they claim to be a "fan" of, you really think 40K's barrier of entry is going to stop them from demanding a seat at the table and crying ableist/classist/sexist if you try to deny them?

>>98460707>3rd party killa kansYou can make yours with pill bottles and extra bits.
>>98460717I'm just relaying what I've seen in orher circles, where if you point out you need to actually play a game to be a fan of it was met with the most horrendous cacophony of screeching and excuses.Hell, you already see it on /tg/, where people claim reading BL novels, playing the videogames, and watching loretubers are all heckin and valid forms of "expressing you 40K fandom"
>>98460739When will they nerf space marines?
>>98460750>BL novelsBut how does a taste for yaoi make one a 40k fan? What goes on in those books, anon?I know what you actually mean, it's a joke

>>98460839>nu-xitter doesn't remember when named characters were permission only
>>98460866Yes you larpers love to pretend that was the standard and that people actually followed that rule lmaoIf people showed up with creed or Abaddon or kharn nobody ever said no, but it's cute watching you pretend like it wasn't like that back in the day too
>>98460877>people sometimes used name characters, which is why its ok that the game practically mandates everyone uses multiple named characters every gameRetarded street xitter
>>98460054This is basically how the furry fandom got how it is.
>>98460885>Larper scrambling and trying to shift goalposts because he knows fuckall about the game and its historyLmao
>>98460877Both groups I was playing 2nd, 3rd and 4th with specifically ended up making houserules that no one could take named characters after we all got tired of seeing Calgar or Nightbringer or whoever every time.
>>98460889could you not engage obvious shitposters for a single fucking thread or is that too much to ask
>>98460877Back in earlier editions - generally pre-5th if memory serves, named characters were not an essential and end all, be all part of an army. My bro brought Kharn every game we played and he mostly just killed his own allies. It was great! A few guys locally had stuff like Dante and Azrael, but it was never oppressive. Abaddon being locked to 2000 or higher point armies was great, too. I think Nightbringer and Deceiver were the biggest offenders and most Necron players just used a Lord or Destroyer Lord.
>>98460877When I was an actual child it was the case and everyone ignored it, but when playing as an adult and it was no longer a rule everyone had moved away from using named characters, now with the deletion of all types of customization people have moved back to using them. Yes I am nearly 40.Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
>>98460894>2nd>Nightbringer
>>98460677>Can't take named characters even if you wanted to because they don't existfeels good to be playing the chad faction
>>98460904>2nd, 3rd and 4th figure it out anon. You can do it instead of just trying to troll until people who were right go away.
>>98460897The simple fact that the way special characters were (in general) balanced to be intentionally worse for their points meant that they only got taken when the player liked the character, rather than showing up in every single list. Changing the status quo is a more effective tool than a hard fast exclusion. But GW loves the piggies so they won’t stop.
>>98460922Somebody doesn't remember the bullshit people pulled with guard and marine named character vehicle combos Especially in 4th and 5th
>>98460906One of the reasons I love my Knights. Canis is stupid and I will never build it.
>>98460922It is part of the reason I have slowly swapped over to WHFB/TOW. It has wargear options, customization via banners, magic items, mutations and boons, generic but highly convertible and kitbashable characters and heroes that end up similar to stuff like 3.5 Chaos Space Marines.
Finally started doing the scraping and assembly for my collage night lord. I think I've picked out the torso with the right pose. How's the collage going for you anons?
>>98460673I'll be out of town next week so I don't think I'll have time for the collage
>>98460943That reminds me, I should ask around to see how many people play TOW in my town. There's new chaos warrior models or something, right?
>>98460966There are, yes. New Starter Box of Cathay vs the new Chaos Knights and Warriors. Not a fan of the new Warriors and Knights personally, but I also have the old ones and love them dearly.
>>98460931I said “in general”. The worst shit that ever happened to me was probably in 4th ed, when my buddy figured out that if you put tyberus in a drop pod you could turn 1 drop in and cast fear of the dark. His special rule doubled spell ranges, turning it into a 48” wide circle of “all your units must take a leadership at -2”. So my hole army (tau) has to take a test on either a 5 or a 6, which leads to about half my army fleeing off the table before I get to do anything.
>>98460943So many people seem to not understand that herohammer was about how strong heroes were, not just the special characters.
>>98460973I never got into AOS, but the start collecting slaves to darkness box always caught my eye when the LGS had it. Always wished 40k chaos could look more like fantasy chaos.How bad has scale creep been with the new TOW sets?
>>98460992I am unsure of scale creep with the newest Chaos stuff, but the new Cathay minis are roughly the same size as the Empire and Brettonia humans. The previous Chaos Warriors are similar size, I believe?
>>98460673I remember reading in the new armageddon book marines malevolent get outwitted and BTFO by orkchads, so I’m going to make a diorama of the immediate aftermath. I’m gonna pick up the starter set with terrain for the scenery and use the extra marines to make mangled dead bodies.
>>98460823K!
If you all hate named characters in the game so much, why not kill the people who take them? Or the rules writers for making them essential parts of faction rosters rather than just fun "I take him because I like the character" unit options that aren't necessarily optimal compared to generic options? I'm certain this would be more effective than complaining about it on a mongolian basket weaving forum.
>>98460643It will never not be funny to me that the 'Nauts have historically been either the same price or more expensive than the Stompa. I mean Jesus, just look at them.
>>9846098640k is the worst iteration of herohammer because you don't even have Captain Smashfucker anymore, just the same handful of named characters forever
>>98460995Nice. I'm a little impressed.>>98460998Fucking love this picture.>mfw the murderwing box I'm using for the collage has a chaos beakie helmet with teeth

>>98461034yes
>>98460615I only play the 2018 version.With all the unbalanced shit that came with elites and commanders!

I want to read saucy romance novellas in this setting.>Sororitas and her forbidden love with [insert forbidden love here]>Eldar-fucker 4: Drukhari Blues>Custodes and SoS oil wrestling>weird slaaneshi shit for all the freaksMaybe I just need to dive into ao3 more.
eh, I don't really like herohammer particularly either. And I play SoB, where Morvenn Vahl is the glue holding the entire book together. You almost never see a list without her. She is some of the only reliable anti-tank the book has, and she's also one of the only actually strong units in general. Funny she costs 410 points.But I also don't really care that much, since taking "Morvenn Vahl" is not actually functionally different from taking "Canoness in Paragon Armor". We're complaining about the name at the end of the day, which doesn't really matter since you have always been able to paint your dudes however you want and name them whatever you want. My Morvenn Vahl is actually Susan, who has a really nice paragon suit. It's not a power level thing, since there are named characters that suck, and there are unnamed characters that are so strong they had to get nerfed recently like librarians and lieutenant with combiweapon.I think what people are really complaining about is a writing thing. The setting itself is becoming more about what certain named characters like Titus and Yvrainne or whoever. Some people would prefer to zoom out and look at large scale factions, rather than it being a story of certain individuals. You hear the common complaint that if gw tends to write about certain characters a lot, it can feel silly when you realize the same few people are traveling millions of lightyears back and forth across the galaxy constantly in order to appear in various events.
>>98460474Tyranids are already the space vermin
>>98461071>Yvrainneshe hasn't been seen outside memes in years. no books, no army lists.
>>98461062the pistolier and the female magus should be special characters, and the ghosar quintus patriarch should be made a big deal
>>98461091No. Named characters are cancer. GSC has the right idea.
>>98461034As long as you don't theme them like a space marine chapter or put furry heads on them, you're good in my book
>>98461091Neither BUT hermiatus should be playable in big 40k.
>>98460474Here, the cool part is you can play them as whatever proxy you want.
>>98460368>Bulk!>Skull!
i liek 40k a lot guys
>>98461034It's an unconventional army to play. Most of the time it comes down to either your opponent brought enough anti-tank/monster and lmao's you in 3 turns, or they didn't. It's a little awkward because a lot of people in a pick-up game night would prefer not to fight Knights because of the above, but at the same time if someone knows they're fighting knights they're just going to pack a lot of anti-tank and leave it up to you to figure out how to make a game out of it. Even if you're not trying to be competitive, there's no point bringing units that don't have a use against Knights because they'll just be food.
>>98461119yeah, 40000 is a lot of guys
>>98461119but do you own models?
>official artwork of a purple ork vehiclemaybe that retarded "purple is sneaky" ork fandom meme will finally fucking die already
>>98461108Anyone ever buy any of his minis? All the stuff he wrote in the fine print scared me off. Are they any good? Durable? Or brittle like most proonts?
>>98461091The end of Day of Ascension makes me wish we could get some kind of fleet-based detachment for GSC, the veterans of consumed worlds that the hive-mind selects to spread the cult rather than jump in the juice. Maybe a heavy Brood Bros focus?
>>98461137I’ve not heard of that one but at the same time I could picture purple being a fitting color for some komandos.
>>98461137I'd love to check out that art if you have a link. All I see in your pick is a bunch of scaffolding and some cranes.
>>98461137nope, it will stay alive forever also because the actual art with purple orks has them fighting the squats so you can double down on memes by saying you never saw them before because they were stuck fighting with them all along offscreen
>>98461143the moment you move out of the miner revolt is the moment you have to rely on more generic units like brood brothers and tainted guards, yeah
>>98461071>She is some of the only reliable anti-tank the book hasI'm still mad how 10e gutted most anti-tank weapons that used to be reliable tank killers.
>>98461147to this day I hear people going "purple makes orks invisible" as if it's canonical and it's fucking retarded. It makes me want to kill millions of secondaries
>>98461137>purple orks are canonalways have been.
>>98461161but anon, we can't have ANTI-TANK weapons actually be good, reliable tank killers, because that would make Timmy sad that his tank got killed on Turn 2 because he put it out in the open less than 100 meters away from a lascannon. You don't understand, Timmy will be VERY upset about his TANK getting killed by ANTI-TANK weapons. He paid points for that tank, you know!
>>98461024>you don't even have Captain Smashfucker anymoreThe only thing stopping you from playing your OC Captain Smashfucker as a proxy for named character number 14 that has "close enough" weapons to what is on your model is your and your opponents' autism at what is written on the datasheet in the name section. If it bothers you to proxy so you can play /yourdudes/, that's not a game issue.James Workshop isn't going to send hitmen with hammers to smash your models if you don't play the "correct" as-intended-by-GW way with "correct" models.>>98461169This is doubly an issue for Sisters because their only anti-tank options with more than 12" of range are the Castigator, which is only s10 in a world where most tanks you'd fight are t11 (Russ variants) or above (Land Raiders, etc) or the Retributor Squad with multi-meltas (18" range), and then you have to consider their squishiness as well.Sisters just don't have much anti-armor and it's really painful right now in a lot of matchups.
Are there lasgun bits that look like AKs? Where can I get them?
>>98461178>The only thing stopping you from playing your OC Captain Smashfucker as a proxy for named character number 14 that has "close enough" weapons to what is on your model is your and your opponents' autism at what is written on the datasheet in the name section. If it bothers you to proxy so you can play /yourdudes/, that's not a game issue.Proxying a named character was a recommendation back in older editions, but at the same time there were also so many options for generics that it was pretty silly to do. Now it feels like an insult to suggest. "Just run Chapter Master Steve using Guilliman's rules!" Generic leaders should get customization and wargear options back!
>>98461071I think it’s most about gameplay scale creep than anything else. No one gave a shit when Calgar was used back in the day cause he was basically just any other chapter master with two power fist. Anyone could field a mimicry if they wanted. But now that primarchs are out of the bag running around you table instead of locked away in the artwork and myths where they belong that we start to see it really break the back of the game. It’s really not much different to when they put flyers in the game, they were so broken they showed up every single time and the only option was to bring your own too.
>>98461138All prints will have issues if you treat them like a metal model.But there are some bouncy resin that could survive some retard moving them around.
Chaos?
>>98461194>was a recommendation back in older editionsand is still even in gw printed material to rename characters to fit yourdudes, it's just harder to justify chapter master steve as guiliman or daemon prince of x as their primarch etc etc
>>98461227I prefer harmony.
>>98461178>if you don't play the "correct" as-intended-by-GW way with "correct" modelsSo you say this but that is actually how it is becoming more and more. There has been an immense tone shift in proxies over the last 5 years, and James is the one who sets the status quo like it or not. It all started when they purged the game of non-model having content, but they have been reaffirming this behavior ever since with their split datasheets “is a specific and exact model” and what not. Combine that with their drive to bring e-sportsy style tournament play and tcg style rules as the face and focus of the game, and the attraction of players who reaffirm this status quo has ballooned.
>>98461039>>98461041>>98461045Okay...>>98461104I was going to mimic rally car livery >>98461131Is it socially unacceptable to play them in low point games with scarcer anti-tank then?
>>98461251>Is it socially unacceptable to play them in low point games with scarcer anti-tank then?Not really, but it'll depend on what your local community is like. Generally speaking most people would much rather play a game of 40k than not, even if its against and army they wouldn't choose as an opponent.
>>98461062>I'm just gonna say it: The Black Library needs an 18+ section. I want to read saucy romance novellas in this setting.This is unironically the best way to get women to play the game- my gooner gf read Malus Darkblade because of the sex scenes, which instilled her to read some smut novella that was basically fake Malus Darkblade, and after reading both she thinks basically every nerd gf on the planet would devour BL books if you combined the two.
>>98461062>>98461263You both should be ashamed and put on a watchlist.
>>98460932I love canis though. I fluff mine as a nameless freeblade attached to my Inquisition warband though.
>>98459665It's a cool look, but probably works better at Epic scale than 40k scale
Thinking about printing a maulerfiend/forgefiend. Is it worth magnetizing? If not, which way should I go?
>>98461267>t. never lived with a woman
>>98461281Boy, will my wife be surprised when she hears this!
>>98461285>sexless marriageThat makes it worse not better, anon
>>98459665it would get silly
>>98461267>>98461285Youve never interacted with a woman you're not related to in your life mutant
>>98461281Have you not seen what passes for women literature the past two decades? Its just porn and as time passes the only thing that gets published is just porn books for women.You have to pull a Dune to publish something else beside that.
>>98461182You won't find them in any official models, so try third party proxies.Most Valhallan proxies go "las-PPSh" or "las-Thompson" instead of las-AK, unfortunately, so that's not a good place to start looking.Victoria Miniatures' "Highland Moss Guard" has autoguns literally called AKs in the listing. A full box of 10 of them is the same price as a real GW guard infantry box though.That's probably the best you'll get.>>98461194Fair enough on options. I give the proxy suggestion as it being the only "current rules" way to still do it, not as what I personally want. I wish "chapter master" was the unit card and you got a selection of weapons from there too, but that's not the world we live in. If the guy on the other side of the table is willing to homebrew rules with you, you can do it my way though, and I have done so a few times.>>98461244So instead of just sitting here complaining about it fruitlessly on a basket-weaving forum, why don't you try to talk about this with your friends who you play the game with? Yes it sucks that GW is making things more concrete and defined instead of favoring you bringing /yourdudes/, but that doesn't mean you CAN'T play /yourdudes/ with homebrew rules that suit you. You just have to find others (preferably near you so you can actually play with them) who are likeminded. Yes they are rarer than the "esports" players are, but it's not "literally everyone but (you) is an 'esports 40k' guy" either.
>>98461295I have a healthy sex life, however I see no point in putting pornographic material into everything, just in an attempt to bring women into the setting.>>98461299I can safely say I am not that failed male. I refuse to ask AI questions, I dislike Leman Russ, I avoid using decals and my miniatures lack coffee stains as well as semen stains.
>>98461302>Have you not seen what passes for women literature the past two decades?Its just porn So it would just be the modern black library slop we already get with dicks instead of bolters, my point exactly
>>98461309>I dislike Leman RussWhat kind of a fag would dislike the Leman Russ Tank?
>>98461213I’m aware that some resins are better than others but I’m not sure what kind he uses, since he doesn’t sell his stls.
>>98461314Cheeky Anon. I like the tank, not the primarch.
>>98461312Passable BL books are anomaly. Calling BL slop is like saying a circle is round.
>>98461182Take a Mk4 lascarbine (Catachan lasgun), clip the power pack and swap it for something like the Admech Sicarian stubcarbine magazine.
>>98461320Suspicious that someone would need to specify.Every men likes the Leman Russ tank, only boy kissers would even think about the primarchs
>>98461309>I have a healthy sex life, however I see no point in putting pornographic material into everythingI don't think you do if the checkboxes for literature of the modern woman are lost to you, my dude- I promise you she reads the shit like every other woman on earth does and if you have no clue it means you're not the one she's sharing her desires with lmao
>>98461279Resin or FDM? Prob not as worth it to FDM print.>Which oneI've seen some cool setups where they make a maulerfiend put put the cannons mounted on the shoulders a little bit behind and above the arm attachment point. (like picrel)
>>98461331I only ever think about primarchs when I'm devising ragebait for marinefags.
About to go play a guard playerPray for my firstborns
>>98461351Guard fucking sucks this edition if you lose to them you should unironically sell your models
>>98461331The only Imperial Guard vehicle I own is a Hydra, just because I like the idea of a quad autocannon platform and because it looks like the Ontos. Never played Guard, but the Russ tank is cool.>>98461333Ah yes, every woman ready hardcore, pornographic material I am sure. Every last one. My wife secretly reads the most XXX rated, hardcore porn purple prose known to man and shares her desires with randos. Or maybe not everything is pornography related and you might be a gooner with minimal grasp on reality? Yes, more women are openly reading weird porn novels, but if you think every woman reads that or will start playing/getting involved in 40k because of that nonsense you are sadly mistaken.
>>98461304>>98461304>instead of complainingSure but let’s not downplay the importance of being a squeaky wheel. I have my own homebrew system that me and my childhood friends play with, but sadly the friends I made later on in life though the lgs are nationally ranked tournament winners. The behavior at the store is very much affected by what is thought of as “official”. So I speak from a position of experience as someone who is directly affected by James’s change in tune over the last decade. The more recent position of high regard GW places on matched play and balancing from tournament results establishes that that is the way the game is meant to be played and sets the status quo.tldr everyone here is a netlisting waacfag who “plays by intent”.
>>98461341>I only ever think about primarchs>inside you there are two primarchs>one is a red marine and the other a green marine>both them are gay
>>98461355guardies getting uppity again I see
>>98461357NTA but my fiancee was just binging that gay hockey series, and my sister/cousins all read a lot of "dark fantasy" novels, so it's definitely pretty widespread.
Best detachment for exodites?
>>98461357>Ah yes, every woman ready hardcore, pornographic material I am sure.50 Shades of Grey is one of the top selling nonreligious works of fiction in human history. I hate to break it to you but yeah- you unironically know fuck all about women.Not a particularly egregious sin since you're probably autistic like just about every dedicated 40k player- but it is a little embarrassing if you weren't larping about being married lmao

>>98461386There is only a single exodite kit, so I’d reckon it’s the one that lets you bring the most of them.
>>98461357The average woman is far hornier than the average man and for far weirder topicsSorry to break it to you
>>98459727Just use the model+datasheet but don't paint it like the real guy
>>98461386windrider host
>>98459339Aos nurgle has given up mouth bellies so khorne can have it 40k nurgle still has an iron grip on the mouth belly rightsWe will continue to report on this and other exciting new developments
>>98460233mostly Gue'vasa
This is now PEAK dreadnought hour.
>>98461410I think GW's upcoming pre-colored terrain will look better for a similar price, but if you'd rather not wait that's up to you. I would consider whether you would really rather have the GW terrain in the long-term, in which case I would look for cheaper alternatives to simply facilitate games with until they're available.
>>98461297the dark reapers do represent the part of khaine gained when he fractured the nightbringer
>>98461475That's just a retroactive cope, they're older than the inception of oldcrons, you'd have to do something similar for the grim reaper aspect in nurgle.
>>98460418Yep, same base too. The current possessed kit has only 5 torso/leg poses and two options for arms/head for each model, and it just so happens two of the models in that kit look samey no matter how you build them, so the greater possessed make a great variety include into a 10-man possessed unit.
>>98460823literally me
>>98460449Yet, they don’t influence the warp yet. All species eventually expand their warp presence and evolve psykers, and they’re ill-equipped to deal with it. They’ll suffer mass possession and empire collapse like DAoT humans did.
>>98459339
>>98460618We’ve been there for a while bro, but getting 2000 points of models and painting them is a hurdle the normies won’t cross. Magic the gathering is just buying cards, and putting them in plastic sleeves, DND is just filling out a stat sheet and rolling dice. We have magic people that show up to play on the Warhammer day at my game store every week, even though they have their own day, and want to come talk to us about Warhammer every time. Big whoop. I don’t read gay novels, and they don’t play the game. I’ve sat there with someone who’s never held a paintbrush telling me about the lore of my models, I don’t care, they don’t play the game, that’s still a hard line yet uncrossed.
>>98460429I enjoyed Dominion Genesis and it's relatively new.
>>98461574But that guy who "reads" (listens to audiobooks while doing something else so he barely even pays attention) the lore is just as much of a fan as you are, according to himself, GW and """the community,""" no matter how inorganic that "community" is.Star Wars, Halo, etc being variably-good-to-tolerable in the pasta was a big shield for 40k unironically, by keeping the more casual sci-fi "nerds" (dudebros, consoomers and so on) distracted. The decline of other franchises is a non-zero of why 40k is where it is right now.Gatekeeping is good, actually.
>>98461629>in the pastain the past*where did that "a" come from I genuinely don't know
>>98461574>He thinks pre painted models aren't on the way nextWhat did you think the painted terrain was if not ironing out the kinks in preparation?
hey guys I bought a model can I join your community now?
>>98460653MY 4CHAN THREAD IS UNDER ATTACK!!! Put the bottle down Jer.
>>98461629Sure, they may think they’re a fan but they don’t play the game, and reminding them of this may make them mad, but that’s funny. Asking them why they don’t play, telling them it’s easy, it’s not always bullying, we’ve won over one magitard in five years. But it is always funny to hit them with a “but you don’t play the game? Why not?”>>98461662They’ve had the ability to play a grey army all along, and we’re all eager to help noobies build and paint, but they still won’t do it.
>>98461665Depends. Post hand.
>>98461665only after you actually paint it
I am into playing kill team and was curious about the Orkz. I don't have interest in playing the Wrekka Krew but wanted to check out the Kommandos. However, I see Ork Kommandos are phased out? What Ork boxes would I need to make the kommandos? I would guess that the Kommando units got rolled into full 40k somewhere right? I am unfamiliar with Ork units and not sure what boxes have what for that specific kill team.
>>98461801Ork Kommando as a kit still exists exactly as it was, just no longer explicitly branded for the Kill Team game. Currently listed as unavailable on the website, but it will return, a lot of Ork product is in that state because they do repackaging whenever an army gets a rules update each edition, which Orks are next up for. As far as its playability in Kill Team, I haven't a clue.
>>98461669Kill yourself
>>98461811Ah. I see. Thank you. Do you think that is the case with other factions as well that rotate out of kill team? Like I hear the chaos legionaries are cycling out also. Will its special units end up in a box? For example, I think those guys have a unique two handed chain axe unit.
>>98461844It depends on the Kill Team. If they are a unit that previously already existed in 40k and used Kill Team as a vehicle to release an updated kit (such as Kommandos and Wreckas/Tankbustas), they are almost certainly here to stay as a kit for 40k bare minimum. Some more oddball teams, like Navy Breachers or Arbites Squads, *technically* are supported in 40k as well but effectively didn't exist in 40k as fieldable units prior to their Kill Team release, and it may be that those eventually no longer get rules support in 40k (but there technically is no precedent for this yet).

I've got some Deff Dread bits laying around but they're not the most impressive since I've already put much of my leftovers from that kit to work >>98459294That's another good one, I'd definitely have to do some mockups. Honestly even just switching the bottom halves of the trakk and the rig might be fun. Dakkarig with treads and a wartrakk with stompy legs.I also have some squigs laying around from the squig herd kit, so I might try to recreate pic related but with a palanquin carried by 4 squigs instead.
>>98461368>both them are gayRedundant statement, all marines are homosexual this is lore
>>98461592I thought it was pretty good too. Necron warriors being puppeteered by an ancient defense system was a neat twist.
>>98461936Nuh uh, I wrote a fanfic about a pair of /mydudes/ visiting the childhood home of one of them and him getting angst because his brother ended up marrying his childhood sweetheart and having kids while he was away fighting worm monsters in in tunnels and chasing Deldar pirates. it ended with him and his buddy going ork hunting because the local savage ork population has been raiding the human lands while the local Knights are away on deployments along with the Astartes.
Who here GSC and who here JUST?
>>98461946I need to get some GSC bits and put them on a base as a trophy just to shut you up.

>>98461960Swing and a miss, but I do need something to put my Bayards revenge on other than the ork… whenever I finally have time again. I’m just mad because I’ve never won a game against GSC yet. I see them so rarely, and when I do it’s usually a tournament grinder who blows me out like a Super Nintendo cartridge.
Has there been anyone who became weaker through becoming a daemon prince?
Fuck wheels, this is Tread country. The treads are just 3D printed chimera treads, the sideplate from the Centaur, the wheel chopped down from one of the ones included in the Hippogriff, and some Lego on the inside for bulk/support.
>>98461991No, near infinite supernatural power and immortality tends to work that way.
>>984619932cute
>>98461993Ew.
What is the equivalent to savage orcs but in the 40k Universe? What is the equivalent to a black orc in the 40k universe?
>>98461993You're not invited to the armored car fanclub anymoreI wish the Hippogriff had 2 more wheels so I could really Puma LARP with themStill cool kitbash though

>>98462019The thing is the Hippogriff is already too close to real life. I also really wanted a light tank for Guard and it's the closest thing I'll get so fuck it.
>>98462028Sorry not familiar with orcs in the 40k universe as much. It just seems like they are all the same except different clothes colors.
Help anons, I haven't touched the hobby since 3.5 edition and now it's all fucked up and weird. I have to buy a codex and scan a QR code to upload to an app or something now? Where do I get 11th edition codexes, as it seems only some of them are up? Thanks-sincerely a retard
>>98461991In gameplay pic is. His singleplayer only character isn't balanced for multiplayer unlike generic daemon princes.
What is the draw to playing full scale large point 40k games? I just can't wrap my head around wanting to transport all of those units, set it all up and then maybe get decimated and shot off the board quickly. Just seems like large model games are not ideal.
>>98461985Thanks for your blog sallyanon
>>98462042Orkz in 40K run the gamut from a regional nuisance on some worlds, to apocalyptic marauders. Most of the time they have a hard time maintaining technology if they didn’t have it on arrival they usually need to steal it from another species before Mekz can really start getting their juices flowing. Once they get their own industrial base they’ll eventually work towards a waaagh though.
>>98462059You’re welcome.
Been painting my first army (Iron Warriors) out of AliExpress proxies (found some really cool Darktide-looking traitor guard) and used models. Haven’t bought a single new figurine. Thoughts?
>>98462073looks finenobody here gives a shit if you buy recasts or second hand
>>9846204911th Edition just launched like a month ago, actual 11th Edition Codices aren't out yet. If you want to actually buy a codex wait until the 11th edition ones drop first (Orks is coming sometime late august/early september most likely), the 10th edition ones are pretty much just paperweights. Here are some actual resources for you to use>11th Edition rules, datasheets, faction stuff (Detachments, enhancements, etc)https://wahapedia.ru/wh40k11ed/the-rules/core-rules/>Online list builder https://www.newrecruit.eu/
>>98462073Wish I could do hazard stripes more effectively. This was all I could muster when I last tried.
Newrecruit is so GAY war organ is heaps better
>>98462073Gimme closeups of the Traitor Guard, I'm struggling on what I should do for my IW cultists and I'm torn between just using some Blooded or some Orlock gangers
>>98462080I figured. My predator is plastic 3-d printed and it came out so scuffed. I made this base to cover up where the treads just didn’t really print much at all. I spent like three hours with a piece of sandpaper trying to file down the lines. It didn’t really work.
>>98462019The Hippogriff is the most "real life" guard vehicle they've made, it takes all its design language from real WW2/early cold war armored cars like the Sd. Kfz. 234 (Puma), the Saladin (what the other anon posted) or the T17 "Deerhound." The Hippogriff is mostly a Saladin but it takes a LOT from the Puma with the hull's rear.>t. Bolt Action player>>98462032>light tankArmored cars and light tanks became the same thing by the end of WW2 for the most part, especially in the modern day. I don't see what role a dedicated light tank could have in the current guard roster beyond just being a reskin of the Hippogriff or "Chimera but now it can't transport," which is what happened historically too; why have light tanks when armored cars are better at scouting/navigating in rough terrain and heavier tanks are better at the "being a tank" thing? This is a rhetorical, I'm not asking for a real answer.
>>98462085>iron warrior after trudging through nurgle swamp

>>98462089
>>98462082Appreciate you anon, I saw there's a link to the munitions manual thing with the point values on GW's website but it's 403'd? Do I need the app or whatever in order to build an army list?
>>98462138Do they actually have Mobian 6th models from Darktide? Or are they custom?
>>98461336>those shitty airbrushed "highlights"
>>98461304>>98461327That is unfortunate. Maybe I'll try my hand at making something in blender. I feel like the AK is too much of a classic bad guy gun to not give them to my traitor guard
>>98462143They are third party proxies I found on Aliexpress. They were super cheap but seemed heavily inspired by the darktide scabs. They were called something like Grimguard Traitor Guard, there’s other ones too, they have one with even more Darktide looking cultists/traitor guard. Highly recommend.
>>98462145Yeaaaaaah.Like his portfolio isn't too bad, but the airbrush is a bit much on a lot of these. Especially that tau and wraithknight.https://www.coolminiornot.com/artist/medows
Posting my (old) defiler also because I was proud of it
>>98462042>It just seems like they are all the same except different clothes colors.That's because GW doesn't bother to give xenos subfactions much distinction outside of fluff and color schemes. You have to modify the models yourself to make them more distinct, or run a fluff-accurate list. Like a snakebitez army should have a lot of sniggas and/or as many vehicles kitbashed into warbeasts stolen from the WHF/AoS range as possible.
critiques/comments welcome, I definitely messed some of these up because it’s my first army and I was kind of painting most of these one by one so there’s some inconsistency.
Me want Snakebite with poison weapons.
>>98461873>kahl prospector and grimnyr on a bikeHow about we get some non dogshit stuff in return instead of this garbage? Maybe a main battle tank, or something that isn't a cthigger unit?
Is there anywhere that has warhammertv shows that I don't have to give money to geedubs to use? Don't need you to direct me, just want to know if I'm wasting my time looking.
>>98462186Thin your paints more in the future unless you were going for that "cast metal" look on the entire model. It's a neat look on the gray panels of the armor to sell the "iron" thing, but it makes the gun and the caution striped areas look like a cheap cast tin toy.Maybe you want that too so it looks more like the original metal models, I don't know.
Got my night lord all posed up. What's a space marine box that has a good "getting stabbed in the back" pose? Bonus points if blood angels can run that unit.I'm thinking of doing a scout because they have pretty low-profile power packs and that's the type of victim that a night lord would have a field day with.
>>98462235Kinda looks like bad primer tbqhwyfam.
>>98462240Assault marine legs could work well to convey the guy getting startled by the stab. The marine being firstborn will also make it easier to see your NL guy since he'll be bigger. Just have the assault marine have a normal backpack.
Just noticed something weird after playing world of tanks. IRL, weapons capable of killing tanks don't really shave off armor from targets or whatever, they just penetrate the armor and depending on where it hits, it can result in knocking out the vehicle (it could hit something like the ammo and/or fuel and blow up the tank, or kill the crew, or injure the crew, or kill one guy, or take out the gun, or take out the tracks, etc etc). There's no wounding a tank, you basically either penetrate it and kill it in one shot, or tmit bounces off and you try again. It either dies, or it doesn't. Is there a balancing reason that GW hasn't implemented this into 40k? I mean, I guess it makes sense to stack wounds on carnifexes and bleed the thing to death, but a leman russ seems like it'd work more like a tank. Also, it'd make sense if AT weapons did the same to a carnifex, like a single penetrating shot going deep enough to disembowel it, or blow up its heart(s), or a headshot from a battle cannon shaving the thing's head off, killing it with a single lucky hit without having to wound it first. Would make for some cool narrative moments, not sure if balanced though
>>98462186chadded
>>98462186thicken your paints
>>98462269Newgen... Things used to work like that. There used to be glancing and penetrating hits, which would then roll on further vehicle mishap tables to determine various effects. You could kill the driver making the model stationary for the rest of the game, you could disarm it by destroying weapons, rattle the crew around etc. All of this was deemed "too clunky" and streamlined down to the vehicles now having wounds system we have today. Blame your generation, zoomzoom
>>98460440Yriel has literally never ever liked the Ynnari, even before Yvraine and the Fracturing of Biel-Tan he thought the Iyanden proto Ynnari deathcult was cringe as fuck.During the Fracture of Biel-Tan he gets rezzed by Yvraine after the spear of twilight finally kills him. This was at the height of the Ynnari revamp plan and even in that book he only gets one line total, which has nothing to do with the Ynnari.After the plan was abandoned Yriel was allowed to hate the Ynnari again.
>>98462244That also works, thinning/different primer (if thinning didn't work because it was just a shit primer) would fix that as well.
>>98461034armigers are a good start.you get two knights, they're less build intensive, less wallet instensive, I just wish they got little knight faceplates like questoris and friends.
>>98462254>assault marine legsYou thinking the HH ones?Now that you mention assault guys I wonder if I could convert a blood claw into a blood angel somehow. I've been thinking about getting that box and turning picrel into a marines malevolent. Probably not, but it'd be a nice way to stretch that box out.
>>98462294Whatever assault marine kit you can find really. I think the movement of the legs will make the weight of the stab more readable.
>>98462287holy fucking shit that's gay. I only got in during 10th edition. "Too clunky?" Did everyone complain about it or something?
>>98462294little bit of green stuff could turn that diamond on the chest into a tear, then it's just a matter of if you have wing decals or if you want to make a whole set of wings.I think the absence of raised surfaces in general is the strength of the HH kits, it's standard issue armor with very few chapter-specific frills.
>>98462269Yeah, thats how 40k vehicles worked for years, they changed it because it was impossible to balance both vehicles and monstrous creatures (which work more like post 8th ed vehicles) one was always far stronger than the other.
I LIKE ORKS XDXD
>>98462310This but unironically!
>>98462300I reckon I'll go with either assault intercessors or blood claws (half of the reason why's the MM conversion idea).>>98462306I like that idea. I think I'm sold.
Assault Marine
>>98462306>>98462315Oh, and a bonus to picking blood claws is that I think BAs carry the "mixed marks" thing pretty well now in light of the 11th edition "intercessor in a new hat" shit.
>>98461034Like >>98462292 said, Armigers/War dogs are good, especially since you can build them in a way that can be played either in Chaos Knights or Imperial. If you want to go that route make sure the loadout is fair game first though.
>>98462305I'm being a little disingenuous blaming you zedders tbqh, my gen the millenials were actually the driving force. Back in the 80s/90s a lot of tabletop games relied heavily on dice. In Mordheim/Necromunda (the good one)/Blood Bowl, you could have a star dude veteran of hours of gameplay, many missions, just have a string of bad rolls and die, or be crippled in a way that they may as well be dead (eg. a dude with 2hander skills in Mordheim losing an arm, or a -1 Strength on a blitzer in BB). Older gens loved the chaos and rolled with it, but these games also had a reputation for being harsh/unforgiving and people were warned away if they couldn't cop it on the chin. Cue my generation, plenty of whom wanted to play dicerollan games but hated this level of RNG "controlling" said game, I've seen a lot of people cry about shit like this yes.The other factor was that the 40K rulebooks at the time were like 50% tables. When you resolved an attack, you consulted a table to figure out what to roll to hit dependent on the unit's WS/BS. You then consulted another table comparing strength against toughness that gave you your wound roll. If it was a vehicle you then considered if it was glancing/penetrating and rolled on ANOTHER table. Most of us had the tables somewhat memorised/there was a formula to it, but again people who had trouble remembering the tables/formula pattern complained, and tables were steadily cut out of the game. Now we have vehicles with wounds
>>98462331A shrimple way to ease some complexity back in is to do vehicle faces, but make the number the toughness, not armor values. Less table-checking, but still allows the fun of older editions without major rules changes.
>>98462331>Most of us had the tables somewhat memorised/there was a formula to it, but again people who had trouble remembering the tables/formula pattern complainedso the retarded people won?
>>98462341Oh yeah, I didn't even get to vehicle facings. That could be something to reintroduce, but it'll rehash all the arguments about which facing applies. Modern 40K is all about streamlining gameplay to the detriment of everything else
>>98462308wouldn't it have made more sense to make the creatures more like tanks instead of making the tanks more like the creatures
>>98462355In modern 40k, it'd just be the toe-in part, so it'd be quite simple to see which value applies
>>98462359NTA but making the tanks more like the creatures simplified the rules and therefore made it easier to math out "balance" for stuff like point values so it was what was gone with.
>>98462359narratively and balance-wise, yeah, probably. see smaug's death where he gets one-shotted due to a weak point in his armor, that makes the most sense for killing creatures that are "like tanks" (re: carnifexes). Problem is, the fix of making tanks more like monstrous creatures not only solves the same problem, but is EASIER to balance (less reliance on random rolls) and EASIER for new players to grasp (they're effectively big infantry models), which makes more sense from a streamlining perspective. Was something lost narratively? Yes, but the game plays faster now and tanks/monstrous creatures are easier to balance than before.
>>98462375I understand, but I still think it's gay.
Working on my Vashtorr for the daemon engine list I posted a few threads back. At first I just did a purple contrast for the skin but wasn't happy with how dark it was so ended up do a few drybrush layers working up to almost white.
Are ultramarines cool?
>>98462355There's already very stupid arguments about line of sight from wingtips, might as well bring back facing
>>98462396second generation genestealer hybrid lookin’ ass
Should 40k have more side magazines?
>>98461034Nah, Knights are cool beans. Don't feel the need to go all in though, you can start with a single Questoris Knight and ally it into your army until you build up a full list. Just be sure to magnetize your knights so you're not paying $170 for a different datasheet.
>>98462423uma sucksand it stinks
>>98462429Horses are cool tho.
>>98462422Fuck side-feed, 40k should have more top-feed gunsI want more guns like Krieg heavy stubbers, but everywhereI want top-feed autocannons like WW2 Japanese anti-tank riflesI want that one Australian guard regiment to get official models with las-Owen Guns with top-feed charge packs

>>98459272Is it literally illegal for 'eavy 'etal to do nice faces?
>>98462707I've hardly done any actual modeling so far and it's been really easy. Mostly reposing and using the smooth/crease/clay tool in blender. The only thing I sculpted from scratch so far are the teeth on the chainsword since the original scan was super messed up and I cba to fix it.

>>984627702 seconds in google
inshallah brothers, I'm kind of enjoying squidmars channel
>>98462787I know you want to shitpost but you can't just throw random buzzwords around and hope that they stick
>>98462800They ARE glup shittos tho
>>98462795>davidfosterwallaceSorry I don't read retarded hacks
>>98462803No, they aren'tKeep trying though! You'll need to work harder for the next (you)
>>98462808I don't read his work either but still can think to web search something I don't know in the year 2026. Outsourced all your thinking to AI huh?
>>98462815>uh yikes chud you didn't put effort into caring about some white girls tattooSure didn't
>>98462797I dunno ask >>>/vt/
>>98462811They are tho, you just can't see it because you're a primarchfag. You're the kind of person who would read a ten novel series about the trash monster that appeared for 30 seconds in the first Star Wars movie.
>>98462821Why ask in the first place then if you totally didn't care?
>>98462712You set up a colony world somewhere juust on the other side of 30k from right now and the ledgers on it get lost just about when the big bang happens. Colony's only half built so, persean sector style, most of what's left to fend for themselves are construction crews and other non-technical roles. Oh, and you have a feral ork problem to deal with.Fast forward to a couple hundred years ago. The construction workers have mostly kettled themselves up in favorable geographic features, leaving the orks to fight among themselves, defending their chokepoints with spear and bow and what crude firearms they have been able to keep working. Impregnable (to the orks) walls are kept up with with increasingly difficult to maintain construction equipment. Their shamans are the oshamen, their fetishes and baubles of good doing colorful zip ties and lock out locks; they worship at the altar of the machine gods that keep them safe at night. FHI, Deere, Kamatsu and CAT.A marauding rogue trader nearly has a heart attack reading the morning scans because this world is relatively resource rich - the reason it was originally colonized - and there are a bunch of still buried manufactorums around ripe for the pickings. He tries to do the rogue trader thing and keep the world as his personal fiefdom but the admech gets a whiff of that there archaeotech, and the scrapping gets to bad enough that the higher order imperium just kicks off a general colonization push to burn out the majority of the orks and get the ball on the whole planet rolling. Admech get their bits, rogue trader gets a cut, tribals get an admech pat on the head for being confused but having the right spirit.
>>98461410They have a bundle, both for 300, and I doubt gw will be better than that so I went ahead and ordered it. I'll post about it when it arrives.I've been excited to finally get to playing and this is the final step. Got my armies painted, learned the rules cover to cover, made a bunch of lists, been watching battle reports to learn, and now when this arrives I'm finally ready. I don't live near a store so my first few games will be me controlling two armies but eventually when I grasp the rules and the game I'll drive the few hours to the closest store when they have an event day or something.https://store.frontlinegaming.org/products/the-battlefield-ready-bundle?variant=48625542693096
>>98462864Bodied that freak
>>98462874So you end up with a dispersed frontier world that relies mostly upon local settler levies to deal with its endemic ork issues. The tribals intermingle readily and are very grateful to the big man in the sky for more or less opening up the rest of the planet for their use. When the orks reach critical mass, beyond what local posses and their mounted texas ranger leaders can deal with, you have the dragoons. Air mobile grenadiers dressed in anachronistically scifi carapace (30k vintage - one of the legacy factories that has been successfully restarted), wielding somewhat more advanced lasguns, disembarking from valks to smash the thickest encampments and burn out the fungus reserves they're protecting.It was an Only War game, and I goofed up understanding the regiment creation rules, so my players started the game with both the funny advanced lasgun and best quality carapace. We still had a lot of fun, and now I want to bring them to the tabletop.There's other regiments around but these are the hardest to model. The planet tithes two distinct kinds of regiments - the tribals in their ancient construction helmets, wielding spears and carrying revolvers and shotguns, shepherded into battle by high vis vest festooned oshamen with stud finders on staffs, and the independent minded diet stormtrooper dragoons jumping out of valkries to bathe the battlefield in volleys of grenades and promethium.Is it really 40k? No, it's very 40k lite. But we had fun. And I want to have more fun with it.
>>98462874Neat
>see a thread titled "who is the best miniature painter of all time">not a single post says "me of course" or a similar jokeDo people genuinely not believe in jokes online anymore?
>>98462896No. We dont have fun here.
I still hate primaris>erm but akshually they made GW a billion moniesDon't care. That doesn't mean dick to me. Marvel slop movies made 10 gorillion dollars should we all go burn our warhammer models and play Marvel crisis protocol instead? No? Then it doesn't matter how much money primaris made, they still ruined space marines.
>Guise im actually like an old guard of the hobby eggsdee.Gonna tell me how much AoS sucks compared to fantasy?>Bonus points: you have never played either.
LET US GET TO THE TECHNIQUE VINCY V STYLE
>>98462944I have never played either Fantasy or AoS, correct. But at least Fantasy models were not offensive to the eyes like early AoS.Newer AoS has mostly gotten a lot better and I no longer hate it on sight but I will still probably never play it.
>>98462952>Yet another secondary shithouse opinion Have an original thought once in your life you fucking loser.
>>98462966>nooo you have to like ugly slop models, other people hate them so you can't also hate them too or you aren't original!!!Most retarded dogshit thing you could have said, go back and take your reddit spacing with you.
>>98462952>But at least Fantasy models were not offensive to the eyes like early AoS.They are, and evidently by the new chaos range they still are.
Why are AoS fags raiding us right now? Is their thread dead?
>>98462944NTA but while I've never really had a bone to pick with AoS I still think WHF got done real dirty and my heart goes out to em. And while I've no real interest in AoS there's definitely been a lot of kitbash potential with some of their models. I still want to try my hand at the oh-so-original idea of turning one of the blanket ghosts into a techpriest, I'm just waiting for some inspiration to strike while I work through my backlog.
>>98462970>rebuttal is just a slew of secondary buzzwords.Concession accepted, I'm sure you'll get better engagement on twitter.
>>98462937Its been 9 years, let it go already.
>>98462944>>98462966>calling someone else a secondary while bringing up fantasy and sigmar in the 40k threadYou are the most obvious secondary of all time or else you would know none of us give a single shit about those games here.
>>98462977>omg 1 or two differing opinions? Must be a raid!!!Hang yourself by your nuts off an obese woman’s taint.
>>98462989This>>98462991Yep, it's an offtopic raider
>>98462989>maximum cope because no one cares about your old good new bad post.Lmao.
/aosg/ is that way nigger --->, and trolling outside of /b/ is against the rules
>>98462985The longer GW goes without fixing it the angrier I get actually
>>98463008Why does that m*rine have bubble wrap on his shoulder
>>98463008They fixed marines with primaris though?
>>98463008>without fixing itFixing what? It's done, they're not going to just "oops we take it back!". Some random nobody still petulantly throwing a fit over it isn't going to change things, and you're just stupid for expecting it to
>>98463008How many firstborn do you own?
>>98463016You can't ragebait me twin
>>98463020Probably around 50 in my closet, I haven't touched them in like 10 years I've been playing admech and orks and kill team
>>98463026very believable
>>98463030Ok dude
>>98463016He also appears to have some toilet paper stuck to his boot. How embarrassing!
>>98463019>they're not going to just "oops we take it back!"They are if they want to make decent money selling marines again, armageddon flopped
>>98463045(you) tried
>>98462136Knights are really cool models but they make for dogshit gameplay, how does GW fix their rules to make them more fun to play against?
>>98463045>GW put mk7 heads in Armageddon >it flopped>GW: better stick entirely to primaris aesthetics then! Primaris sells!LolLmao
>>98463057>oh we put two Mk7 heads and no other bits into the Primaris Intercessors in the new box and it sold bad I guess no one wants an actual updated Mk7 tac squad without all the shitty primaris stuff all over themThe depressing thing is I can see them being retarded enough to think that
>>98463063>I can see them being retarded enough to think thatNow you're starting to understand
>>98463045>>98463063>i-it sold bad t-trust me!!!look at the little /v/kiddie melt down
>>98460906Doesn't one detachment let you take Deathleaper?
>>98463068You're the one that seems to be having the meltdown tho
>>98463072>umad xDD(you) really need to try harder lmao
>>98463077>nooo you can't point out how mad I am!Have you tried seeming less mad?
he's so desperate for attention
>>98463083>seething so bad he's vagueposting his projectionDamn!
>>98463063Primaris isn't going away and all of the new sculpts they've shown so far have their aesthetics match that of the old models and models in the Armageddon box, in the sense of mixed armour parts and helmet variations. Even the new outriders everyone glossed over has these, as each marine has a different aquila pattern, helmet, and one with the full leg greaves.
>>98463089don't reply to zero effort shitposters, he's just going to reply pretending to be a pro-primarisfag now to keep going
>>98463099>shitposter calling the other guy a zero effort shitposterLmao
>>98460932ALL knights are basically as annoying as named characters
>>98463099I only replied because occasionally I also seen other anons ask what was new about this kit, and nobody ever pointed out the subtle aesthetic change to the armour. Which shows good promise of this aesthetic continuing for any new or updated kits down the road.
>>98463102nah warglaives are fine especially allied into other armies
>>98462944>>98462966>>98462984>>98462995>>98463050>>98463068>>98463077>>98463083>one anon expresses dislike for primaris>primarisfag redditor has instant red hot meltyWhy are primarisfags so insecure like this?
Has anyone seen any cool traitor guard helmet bits?
Zamn...MODS = GODS
Now that I think about it I don't much care for primaris interlocutors, or whatever they're called either either.
>>98463155Careful or you'll get banhammered for offtopic...
Uh oh, auscuck melty pt2 inbound?
>>98463174>Shitposts rampantly about anti primaries fake outrage for the millionth time>Wtf why did all my posts get deleted and I get banned???In other news monkey surprised to learn button he has pressed 500 times still shocks him
>>98463182I'm not referring to this drama, I'm referencing what we were talking about last thread how the mods have been bloodthirsty lately and handing out bans for nothing
>>98463186>posts offtopic blogshit fir half the thread or more and gets away with a mere warning>somehow this is everyone else's fault and problemDon't be ramarama bruce, it's messing with your brain!
isnt it weird that Tau became the coolest 40k faction?
>>98462622We know they're shit we still like them.
>>98463200I wonder why
Mods, you left one loose
Have their been any Anon's in this thread over the years that have, verifiably, worked for GW? Not even in a big way, but something like working as one of the store employees? I've wondered about that, if there's any regulars in here that shitpost on the clock.
>>98463220I have several friends that work/have worked for GW. I occasionally post leaks every now and then, but most anons call bullshit on me which is fair enough since I don't post sources.>anything I know Nothing important, just another store shutting down in my cunt. Last thing I leaked was the old world box.
>>98463220I worked QA for the GW factory down South, before it closed.
For a Cursed Legion List, what do you think would be better>Warriors and Doomstalker>Hexmark and Doomstalker>Warriors with Overlord, and Hexmark
>>98463267I should also mention a few other things>1k points total (so forget Warriors with Overlord, and Hexmark because it doesn't fit within points)>other then this I have a Flayed One brick, a Skorpekh Brick with Technomancer, Nekroshar, and Oph DestroyersI just dont know what would be better for this 1k between the Warriors or the Hexmark. Any thoughts?
>>98462767>I am retarded, but please argue with me
>>98463282Oh and also instead of a flayed one brick, I was wondering about bringing in some Scarabs instead. So flayed ones in a squad, and a Scarab squad
I do hope they'll bring pariahs and regular destroyers back.
>>98463208Tau look like this?
>>98463200Necrons and Tau are the best factions because they're mechanical, GW CANNOT sculpt appealing human models
>>98462944As someone who knows how broken WHFB 7ed is, and how utterly fucked up infantry blobs and other issues 8ed was, I heard many AoS eds are at least playable. Which means it's above the bare minimum some WHFB editions aren't
Whats the best way to deal with knights? Do you just full send the Knight, or pick off the Armigers until the Knight is all that's left
>Iron Warriors come from a planet called Olympus>Not a single one of them has a Greek design>Meanwhile Alpha Legion doesThe fuck?
>>98463391armigers are way less threatening when they don't have bondsman so bumrushing big knights is a viable way altho in IK they tend to be more auxiliary, still both types tend to hover around 6-7 activations
>>98463391You use Fire Dragons and blast the fucker
>>98463332The worst part is, one retard did and then beat that retard in their tard-off
>>98463361Orks and nidders also benefit from this buff. Same with admech, though that last one has a few questionable and polarizing design choices
>>98463412I dunno, ask /hhg/
>>98463418Fighting fire... With a stronger fire...
>>98463423I think Admechs problem is that GW can't commit. The combination of Da Vinci prototypes and 50s pulp doesn't really work, but if they just fully went in one direction it'd have a clearer focus
Does he know other people are selling it for 230. Ebay is a weird place because most businesses try to undercut each other when demand doesn't meet supply, but on ebay niggas are like "300 dollars sounds right" even if everyone else is selling for 200
>>98463439I can’t handle the thought of playing this game with people younger than me
>>98463441I know what I got
>>98463475he looks closer to 36 desu
>>98463475Am I fucking retarded? What does my post about the lack of GWs commitment have to do with age?
>>98463355Hell ye dude.
>tfw winning over a chaos army
>>98463515I DID ITMYYYY WAAAAAAY
>>98463519The day he gets a primaris model will be so fucking ffunny
Why are there 0 fucking rumors for 40k
What's the deal with NMM? Why not just use metallic paints?
I like pastel colours and want to paint my sisties white blue and pink but i dont want to be accused of anything, what do?
>>98463522it would be funnier if he had his last melty and accepted the Blood God on WE's side instead
>>98463525it seems like they were supposed to have finished Ork reveals and put up the codex for preorder by now but then something went wrong. Then they pivoted to a bunch books and random art stuff to fill the gap. Like Necromunda release was obviously planned, but we were on an Ork hype train that just stopped dead.
>>98463532if you take the models picture extremely well and painted the NMM extremely well. It looks better. But just in that one picture. Every other angle and on the tabletop it will look like shit.
>>98463544>Every other angle and on the tabletop it will look like shitpaintlet opinion
>>98463532till recently you couldn't do color theory on metallic paintsit's the classical painting way, a sign of mastery over light which makes it look extremely good in shots, other angles can vary since the light sources are not lined upsome just like the finish on it
>>98463525Chaos bikers + DoomriderVen dread and other marine shitOrk characters & moreDark Eldar RefreshGrey Knight RefreshLegion of the Damned KTThat's at the top of my head
>>98463439Yeah pretty much. Or at least fully develop each subrange so you can run one or the other
>>98462985Genuinely why?
>>98463519>firstborn manlet talking to a primaris
>>98463089>mixed armour partsWhere? It's all mkX.
>>98463557Some of those have actual rumors from reliable sources and some of those are just logical guesswork though.
>>98463574You have to assign numbers to these you retard
>>98463561>Legion Cybernetica has it's own fucking keyword that only exists on one single unitDrives me fucking crazy. It's been this way for many years now too.
>>98463557We already got Nazdreg, unless they're claiming more characters are coming
>>98463579whatever you say, tentacle loli lover
>>98463585>tentacle loli loverDo you mean tentacles fucking lolis, or a loli with tentacles?
>>98463439There's already a direction. GW just refuses to do it because they are envious fucks and know FW did it better.
>>98463591What the hell, what is this? This looks great, this is the shit 40k should do
>>98463579>I want to roll virtual dice because I'm a nogames!Nah
>>98463574we need one for typhon
>>98463591Silver lining is that Knights are gonna be like Custodes in that all the 30k plastics will also be labeled for 40k and (pressumably) included in the codex which means AdMech should also get permanent codex access to the cool FW knights.>>98463594This is how AdMech looks in 30k. It's not even funny how much cooler it is and none of those units have even Legends rules to use in 11th.
>>98463588Cringe if the former, based if the latter
>>98463603this is what i look like
>>98463603>ah fuck i have to finish this model before i leave>4:59pm? uhhhh black dome red dot let's get outta here
>>98463600God I fucking love myrmidons.
>>98463591I don't even think the 40K dudes are that bad, I just don't see why they can't be an addition to these dudes
So is 30k and Horus Heresy the same thing?
>>98463609how new are you?
>>98463607Most of my hate for the retarded daVinci stuff is that it makes up most of the current roster. If they added all the 30k stuff to the army I could ignore all the daVinci units and I would shut up. But right now the army is basically unusuable without them.>>98463609Yes.
>>98463605>uhhhh black dome red dot let's get outta hereThat's more than GW put into ironkin. Ironkin are just monochrome domes and that's it
>>98463605I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid it's better this way.
>>98463571GW isn't magical, they're not pulling shit out of thin air, so everything is logical guesswork.>>98463581Still waiting for badruk and the shockboyz character
>>98463610extremely
>>98463606Especially when they're tomboyish females that expose lots of leg.
>>98463600the mechanicum will never get the same treatment as custodes because gw has no intention of having a 40k-only range of custodes anyway, while they are have a 40k-only range of mechanicusthey'll stay separate until some major fuckup forces gw's desperate hand to give customers what they actually want in order to get sales, but that won't happen
>>98463617oh ok, yeah 30k and horus heresy are the same thingIt started out as an off shoot system back in 6th ed, but now it's become its own thing.
>>98463612Yeah that's what I was saying earlier: davici and cyberhorses admech should be like an exploratory fleet or mars security detachment, with 30K stuff being for the heavy hitters detachment and the pulp 50s stuff being the reliquary guard or something. There's room for everyone, but then they'd have to spend less time on the next bespoke space marine shoulderpad pack.
>game abbreviates to HHuh fuckin ZASED GW?
>>98463609the horus heresy is set 10k years before 40k, so it's 30k, yes
>>98463619Custodes have a bunch of 40k exclusive units already, why would it be any different with AdMech's exclusive 40k units?
>>98463620>It started out as an off shoot system back in 6th ed, but now it's become its own thing.It should still be an offshoot. Not because it should use the 11th edition core rules but because 11th should use the 30k core rules.
>>98463609YesThis post was made without condescending faggotry
You guys said 11th was coming out in two weeks but that was like 5 months ago
>>98463619>they'll stay separate until some major fuckup forces gw's desperate hand to give customers what they actually want in order to get sales, but that won't happenI want their sleeper jew blood to activate and realize they are losing a ton of money because of this. I want to make an AdMech army. I would do it the instant the 30k units are published in the 40k codex. This exclusiveness isn't making me buy two armies, it's making me buy none.
How can I do a cool oil drip effect, like a leaking machine?
>>98463615>Badrukk Hasn't he been palling about with Ghaz lately? Armageddon would be a good time to bring him in if that's the case.Though if I had to put money on the next ork character, I'd probably go for Orkimedes. He's a prime target for nostalgiabait and would fill the slot of a dreadmob/mechanized ork forces warboss. And since he has no official model or even artwork they can go wild with him. Here's hoping if I'm right he also fulfills the deff dreadboss wishlist lots of ork players have been wanting
>>98463621I'd be fine with that. Still think the landboats, roflcopter and electropriests need to be squatted. They just look like shit.
>>98463557I believe the ven dread will also be a wolf release with the bjorn book coming out.
>>98463634Unironically oil paints. It's very easy to do. Or do you mean the actual drops? Then a string and UV resin or something like UHU glue, then you paint over it.
>>98463634superglue strings/drops, then likely few layers of nuln oils/agrax depending on shade of your oil or contrast paint
Put this in the next threads op
>>9846363111th came out in june, my dude.
Should I get the Necron Battleforce or Combat Patrol?
>>98463636I like the electropriests in concept and as the sole biologis rep Admech has ever really gotten, but yeah the models themselves need a redesign or something. I also have a soft spot for the landboats, personally.
>>98463650I agree with the concept of electropriests being cool but yeah the models need a redesign. Similarly the landboats are fine in premise but the actual look of them is awful. If they got actual grav plates like repulsors they'd be fine, they just look so silly on the ground. There's no redemption for the wingcopter though why the fuck does it have legs.
>>98463631Nigga we are in 11th, it's that much of a nothingburger
>>98463638Wouldn't be surprised. GW loves to shrinkflate two previous kits into one.>>98463645People will ship anything and everything, ESPECIALLY if it's toxic yaoi.
>>98463653>If they got actual grav plates like repulsors they'd be fine, they just look so silly on the ground.That's just how airboats look so it never bothered me. It'd be fine lifted and looking more like a landspeeder though, I'll agree with you there.>There's no redemption for the wingcopter though why the fuck does it have legs.Dune reference, that's literally it. And a pretty fucking weak one if you ask me.
What's the combat utility of the MGS torture chamber?
>>98463625because those 40k exclusive units are few and outdated and will get thrown away soon enough and gw has not intention of making more, meanwhile the 40k admech is already large and established and gw plans on supporting this faction going forward.
>>98463662>What's the combat utilityPsychological damage to your foe after you sculpt a massive dong and balls on your ctan getting electrocuted too
>>98463666>few and outdated>big wave released in 2018>multiple characters released in 9th and 10thWhat?
>>98463676They are few, since they have only 4 unit kitsAnd outdated, since they don't follow the design cues of their most recent versionsit's not difficult
>>98463682Anon there's only a handful of 30k units too, if they just straight up cut the 40k ones too they'll be left with nothing. They'll just update the kits to the new aesthetic.
>>98463682>only 4 unit kitsIsn't that like half the army? I can't tell because custards arr rook same to me
Why are glue bottles always slanted?
>>98463697made in china
>>98463687>there's only a handful of 30k units too30k has given them 9 units, including vehicles, and is about to give them even moreall the 40k exclusive stuff are also completely redundant with these units, they're getting removed in due time
>pay no attention to 40k models stuff for a few years>take a peak at the GW site just now>combat patrols look downsized compared to what I remember>tfw they now cost $170 instead of $150>tfw everything else has also gone up in priceHuh?
How many of you are lurking because you're waiting to post in a fresh bread?
>>98463721only shitposters do that
NEW AND IMPORTANT QUESTION: how many named characters in a 2000pt army is too many?
I'm just scared for aquillon terminators because, though blurry, the leak makes them look really bad.
>>984637331
>>98463720Are you that new? GW is always rising prices. It's been going on for decades at this point.
>>98463751Ntab>damn shit got worse, what happened?>lol retard are you stupid?Why are you like this?Genuinely: what's the point you're trying to make?
>>98463697I'd say for the flow of the glue.The glue must flow.My glue. My sniffakis.
>>98463745is this supposed to look good in comparison
>>98463745GW purposefully sabotages all new terminators because the primaris terminators are the only one that should sell, in their eyes.
>>98463762Yeah.
>>98463766just chop off the plumes of sodality boxes, they look worse with them and they barely have a resting spot on the models if at all
>>98463178which one? m assuming you're talking about ratfag
>>98463766The claws make them look dangerously close to mini-Emperors
>>98463771The lack of plumes isn't the only issue, the entire upper body looks weird. Every proportion and shape is wrong.>>98463773That too. I don't mind the claws themselves but the fist looks just as tiny as the new cataphractii which is something I just don't get. Power fists are supposed to be huge.
who here le ecks dee XD?
>>98463733i feel like 2 is pushing it, anything beyond that is a bit much
>>98463757>>98463720the fuck did you expect, particularly during one of the most inflationary periods of our lives
What can I do to make a metallic colour look shiny?
