Why does it feel like the Imperium is always aura farming the most when they're losing?
i liek orkz :D
Picture of my guys that isn't super dark
I like orks :D
>>98496680Because Humans beings have a deeper connection with the afterlife and time seems to move slower when death approaches which gives us time to ponder our lives and what comes next, do you play Marines?
A glimpse of a better future.
>>98496691>flamer specialist >claw specialist >dakka specialist>big choppa specialist>bossnob specialist>alternative build for each with one handed power choppa+kustom pistolI seriously hope this isn't the full extent of the nob kit
>>98496700Time to move on old man
>>98496711It's obviously a Kill-Team kit if it is set up that way
>>98496691where do I learn more about orks and orkish cultures?
>>98496689who are these guys meant to be?also>black and pure whitegoddamn.
>>98496721Why settle for mediocrity? We could make it better.
>>98496741NTA but Necropolis Hawks. Raven Guard successors but depending on who you ask they're also Space Wolves successors.
>>98496757>Necropolis HawksWhat a sick fucking name
>>98496738can’t speak for the new codices, but the best ones are >Ere we go >WAAARGH the orks>freebooterz>orks 3rd edition codex>orks 4th edition codex note the first three are rogue trader stuff, so they have some eccentricities like the orks mating and retiring to raise their sons to be a proper boy before dying of old age. otherwise, its really great and explains a lot of their kulture.
>>98496761Sick color scheme too. That dark blue-grey is just a fundamentally great color, especially beside white.
>>98496741Thats blue anon
>>98496697crosspost (sort of) with another thread on the boardis there a canon reason why humans seems to such a deeper and stronger connection with the warp than any other species in the setting ? all chaos armies are now human only whereas in the older lore, xenos worshipping chaos was more common ; there were khorne and nurgle worshipping orks, slaanesh worshipping eldars, etc...nowadays, the lore make it feels like the chaos gods are mostly or exclusively dependant on humans for their sustenance; is there an explanation in the lore why ?
>>98496724>>98496711it literally is a kill team on armageddon terrain rescuing a downed dreadnaught the legion of the damned appears and the orks have 10 boys as npos to fluff the price of the box even though no one asked.
>>98496794>is there a canon reason why humans seems to such a deeper and stronger connection with the warp than any other species in the setting?Because we're the best, simple as
>>98496794The Old Ones seeded the creation of Mankind during the time of the dinosaurs and meant for us to be their greatest legacy. The Krorks and Eldar were rushed for the War In Heaven and ended up extremely faulty, and the Old Ones knew that Humanity would eventually become the dominany species in the galaxy to destroy the Necrons and Chaos.
>>98496793Every so often I see a canon successor chapter that makes me have second thoughts about having done my own dudes. These guys, Red Scorpions, Crimson Fists, Marines Malevolent, Mantis Warriors...
>>98496721This model is technically impressive but at the same time looks identical to the promo pics eavy metal makes on the website.
>>98496700Primaris look cooler.
>>98496794>>98496802my own theory is that it is due to something the Old Ones worked in humans : the specific ability of humans is Faith, it allows them to get stronger and more courageous than they would be otherwise, it alors works in some way like the waaagh field of the orks but in a more refined way : instead of being "da red go fasta !!!", faith literally allows humans without psychic potential to display supernatural feats (the miracles of the imperial saints)I think this is something that is due to the meddling of the old ones at an early stage and this also explains why mankind "feeds" the chaos godsmore than any other species
>>98496830Not in any way.
>>98496830nuh uh
>>98496794We're better at being delusional nutjobs, our pyskers are bitchmade, and the average person has basically zero physical or mental defense against the warp. We're basically perfect chaos fodder.
>>98496766ty for the resources, will investigate further
>>98496820Well see the trick to that is not deciding a scheme for your army and paint evert squad in a different scheme. How do you then have a cohesive army? I don't know.
>>98496840Yes in everyway.>>98496843Yuh uh
>>98496819According to new lore, Krorks and Aeldari predate the War in Heaven. Both were created s weapons against the Old Ones' true enemy: The Chaos Gods.
>>98496757There's nothing indicating the necropolis hawks are space wolves
>>98496794>is there a canon reason why humans seems to such a deeper and stronger connection to the warp than any other species in the setting? They don't. That would Eldar. The Eldar before Slaanesh's birth had vastly superior mastery of the warp and better control then humanity ever has. They also had their gods to protect and guide them.Humans are more easily corrupted, have less control then the average Eldar psyker, and know so little about the actual nature of Chaos and the warp that they get tainted the most. Humans are easy pickings for the Chaos gods and it helps that there is a fuck ton of humans.
>>98496867If the Eldar were truly that strong they would have sensed Slaanesh coming and stopped it. The Eldar were never good psykers, they simply leeched off what the Old Ones left behind.
>>98496866It's a joke, a space wolves fag yesterday thought they were SWs.
>>98496802You're not even human, let alone part of the best
>>98496680The Imperium is badass for the same reason Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are badass, there's a certain respectability and dignity in being able to take basically infinite losses and not give a shit because nobody, not even your own soldiers, care about their lives.
>>98496738already a good list >>98496766but add Gorkamorka.
What is the name of /yourguys/ ship?Mine is Storm Ruler.
>>98496877I can’t believe I forgot gorkamorka! I will say the “gorkamorka” book is just the rules for the game. all the lore is in “gorkanorka: da uvver book” and “gorkamorka: digganobz”
>>98496872The Eldar ruled the galaxy for 65 million years, anon. Slaanesh was the result of millions of years of unrivaled utopia where the Eldar grew so bored at how perfect their lives were they gooned too close to the sun.
I like Tzeentch the most out of all the chaos gods but his aesthetic is the least appealing to me ;_;
>>98496872They did see it coming. It was not preventable
Can you make a viable AdMech list without any if the daVinci units? Just skitarii, servitors, knights, robots (using the 30k castellax model), kataphrons, dunecrawlers and techpriests?
>>98496896And now they're not here and the Imperium is, looks like the Imperium is stronger.
>>98496896They ruled because nobody else was actually around to contest them. DAOT Humanity was already starting to push into their borders by the time the Fall happened.>>98496901>It was not preventableThen they aren't good psykers. The Emperor prevented the Dark King from manifesting on Terra, the Eldar should have prevented Slaanesh.
>>98496898Same. I dont mind tzaangors but egyptian stuff is too safe.
if humans saw global warming coming how come they didn't stop it
>>98496898Eh, you can always use whatever design you want since Tzeentch is technically always changing.
the Imperium's master plan was to steal the Eldar's keys and squat in their house
I have successfully smeared diarrhoea all over my models
>>98496910>The Emperor prevented the Dark King from manifesting on TerraThe Dark King is inevitable, he delayed it, not prevented it
>>98496927decal...
>>98496910>The Emperor prevented the Dark King from manifesting
>>98496907The Eldar are still around but their Empire is gone. The Imperium is a shell of what it was before the Heresy and it's only lasted a few thousand years unlike the Eldar Empire's 65 million.
>>98496888Good call, Da Uvver Book is the one I was thinking of. Its this really great mix of a lot of the older RT era stuff and the newer middlehammer sort of orks that really hooked me.
>>98496898I wish the tzeentch stuff went harder on the abstract and esoteric instead of>diet chaos spawn>evil groan tubes>literally a giant furry
>>98496932awoo
>>98496927finally getting those hellblasters painted?
>>98496941>The Imperium is a shell of what it was before the HeresySee, I don't really believe this. What can the Imperium not do now that it could before?
>>98496916well, you know, you see... uh.....
>Eldar Revenants come back to the store>Gets sold out instantlyThese were scalpers 100% wasn't it?
>>98496910>the Eldar should have prevented Slaanesh.Too busy superfucking.
>>98496976>>98496910Realm of Chaos/Lost and the Damned, sourcebook from 2nd edition, says the Aeldari couldn't have prevented Slaanesh from being born. Aeldari existence was enough to gestate Slaanesh. They didn't need to slide to hedonism for Slaanesh to be born. In fact, hedonism was the result of Slaanesh nearing its birth.
Why are Hospitallers on a 50mm base.
>>98496904im sorry to say but just play heresy at that point and cope that gw will custodes you in, you'd be fighting vs marines most of the time anyway
>>98496983StD and LotD don't say fuck all about your >aeldari You also fail to understand the atemporality but that's to be expected by your ilk.
>>98496797anyway there's an LGS that gives 20% off of preorders>250 msrp>200 with 20% discount>12 dollar statement credit on my credit card>will receive some money from doing a mock jury trial88 bucksMaybe sell the boyz too.
bait
>>98496991Their kit came with a fuckhuge tactical gravel base for some reason
What % of the Imperium's problems are self-inflicted or caused by corruption and incompetence, and what % are just inevitable from existing in a hostile galaxy?
>>98496904Switch to a better game
>>98497012Do chaos space marines and traitor Primarchs count as self inflicted?
>>98496859>Both were created s weapons against the Old Ones' true enemy: The Chaos Gods.Slop
>>98496996Yes, it does. Want me to post the sections?
>>98497008>for some reasonthe kit comes with a dying SoB that lies in the indent there, so it's about as tall as it is wide
>>98497016What went wrong?
>>98497017Well that's the question innit?Cause some people say that the Horus Heresy HAD to happen, and that the Emperor planned it all out. And other people say that the Horus Heresy was caused by the Emperor being distant and incapable of understanding his fellow humans and it didn't need to happen.
>>9849701290% self-inflicted after wiping out so many of the external threats over tens of thousands of years previously. most of the imperium doesn't even know the "major" threats (chaos, tyranids etc.) exist.
>>98497027editional schizophrenia where they wanted you to buy 3 codexes and then just kept dropping points on everything after merging the two of them
>>98497027Well for starters you can't make your own baroque tech priests and magi.
>>98497019For sure, post the sections that say >aeldari
>>98497016>>98496994I want to because on top of that the 30k rules are way better but no one plays it here because GW doesn't translate the rules. 40k is fully translated.
>>98497038No thallax as core troops or proper mechanicus knight support also makes 40k admech a lot more horde in general.
>>98497064@iquisition why does this sister have horns
>>98497046>Using GW corpo slang names
>>98497035>most of the imperium doesn't even know the "major" threats (chaos, tyranids etc.) exist.The galaxy is torn in half, demons are literally every where, the nids are closer to Terra then they've ever been before, and the Necrons are trying to restart their empire..Orks are Orks as usual though.
>>98497072They're fleur-de-lis ornaments on her head.
>>98497086Fake, clearly just a mutant trying to hide her abberrations.
>>98497080>nou
>>98497083And the vast majority of people in the Imperium have no idea about that stuff. It doesn't effect the fate of them or their planet. They're far more likely to die from an admin fuckup, civil war, religious nutjobs or standard workplace safety.
>>98497008I get it comes with the scenic base I'm just baffled why this one character needs to sit on a base that's the same size as the ones for the baby walkers.
>>98497099>They're far more likely to die from an admin fuckup, civil war, religious nutjobs or standard workplace safety.Good clean human ways. Problem heretic?
Trying to make Late Heresy/Iron Armour themed Emperor's Children. Is it just me or are the arms too big and the backpack a little out of scale? Like the arms are too long?
>>98497108>needs to sit on a base that's the same size as the ones for the baby walkersBecause GW sculpted the Hospitaller to use that scenic base and built everything else around that assumption.
>>98497095>>98497080>>98497046We have been over this.Eldar is a human corruption of the word Aeldari.
>>98497119CSM and HH firstborn are slightly different in scale>>98497126fuck off /u/shaskais
>>98496794Humans are the most numerous race in the galaxy that actually falls to chaos in any significant numbers
>>98497119you're mashing together two different scales of model, so yeah
>>98497126That's a delightful cope considering Aledari is a corporate human corruption.
>>98497119I'd say it's actually the hands that look far too big on this model tbhon
>>98496859Wrong. Chaos was a part of the great war in heaven pissing match because the enslavers basically don't exist anymore in the lore.
What if the Tau were actually created by Vashtorr? It would explain why they’re still alive despite using robots and machines.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98497139>how do we make the galaxy feel smaller?
>have money>any unit I would want for my army is OOS everywhere I've lookedI'm not going to play Space Marines James, you can't make me
>>98497027Kelbor Hal fucked the mechanicum permanently with scrapcode and traumatised the loyalists so horribly that for 10k years innovation was synonymous with corruption.
>>98497130if this is just a question of number, then why do orks not feed chaos as much ? they're easily as numerous as humans
>>98497099Bro, you can SEE the great rift from anywhere in the galaxy. Every world in the galaxy with a sky you can see has had to ban stargazing because the rift keeps driving people crazy.
>>98497157To be fair they weren't wrong, there's a reason why the best tool in the Imperium's arsenal is the simple shovel.
>>98497119I kinda dig it, marines should be kinda out of proportion
>>98496859source ?
>>98497165No way any industrialised world can see shit at night. We can't see shit right now.
>>98497119Damn, GW already added bust armor and wasp-ish waists for female marines?
>>98497172Not him but the Ynnari duology has an character who unlocks memories of his past reincarnations all the way back to the War In Heaven, where he discovers the Eldar and Necrons made peace and fought together against Chaos Daemons during a pause in the War. Chaos has always been the greatest threat to the galaxy, even back then.
>>98497139Vashtorr fought the T'au in the 10th ed CSM codex. He doesn't see anything about them except mocking them for relying on tech.
>>98497161The Chaos gods have nothing the Orks don't already have. They're profoundly simple creatures and generally content to go with the flow.Orks only get corrupted through direct contact with warp energies which does happen but is rare.
>>98497119>>98497181would
>>98497190>>98497172Rise of the Ynnari: Wild Rider
>>98497175Well yeah, Forgies and Hive scum are safe because they live in hellscapes. Agri Worlders are proper fucked tho.
>>98497200Doesn't say what you think it doesstay on reddit shaskais
>>98497181>anon has never seen a physically fit body before
>Technology is dangerous because Chaos can corrupt>Doesn't matter how simple it is, even a credit card can be corrupted by Chaos >The only way to avoid Chaos corruption is to make your technology as simple as possible >Which is why the Imperium prefers melee weapons over ranged weapons, because melee weapons are simpler and less prone to corruption>And there's also more 'emotions' when fighting daemons with melee weapons so the symbolical value makes it more deadly>And this is also why the Imperium uses manual labor instead of robotics>If you use galley slaves to load your torpedoes, it's less vulnerable to Chaos corruption
>>98497206NTA but does it not say the Aeldari and Necrontyr battled against each other and the Dark Gods? Further down it distinguishes the metal skeletons came later.
>>98497206>Once both races combated the Dark Powers, but they were turned upon each other by divisive and irreconcilable ambitions.Also, the Phaerakh said that the Aeldari were specifically created to be resistant to Chaos.
>>98497204Don't forget Knight worlds.
>>98497220>[LIE]
>>98497119boots covered in cum
>>98497200That doesn't say what you claim it does.The sequence of events is.>Necrontyr and Old Ones Meet, get in a pissing match.>Chaos crashes party, tries to fight both sides.>Chaos gets BTFO and kicked out of the setting for 60 million years. The old ones build prisons and the Necrontyr build the Pylon network to keep chaos out.>THEN the C'tan con the necrontyr into giving up their bodies and becoming necrons, leading to the war in heaven.The war in heaven happened after the tag team against chaos. They're two separate wars. It took millions of years of sabotage and decay before the old ones warp prisons broke down and the necron pylons started to fail.
>>98497200>youngsterThis word should not be featured anywhere in an Eldar book.
>>98497239They turned Nuadhu Fireheart into a cousin fucking teenager in that book. May Gav Thorpe choke on a trillion dicks for this desecration.
>>98497243But that's hot.IIRC, he was more interested in the Drukhari chick.
>>98497251Everyone likes goth chicks anon.
>>98497251Did you SEE how she rode that Jetbike?
>looking for 3d print options for exodite terrain>40 bucks+20 shippingThanks GW
>>98497243I fail to see how that's a problem.
What is properly grimdark to you?>The Imperium is the best of all possible situations, and has justified reasons for all of its actionsOr>The Imperium could have been much better, and it was only poor choices that made it the hellscape it is today
What's the best proxy for Kharseth if I want to be nonbuynary, but still want to use her since she's busted? Should I just pass on her altogether?

>>98497299sneaky git
>people are nostalgic for 9th
Tag yourself.
>>98497280I fail to see how the imperium actually being good/necessary is dark.Sure, someone can say that the galaxy/situation leading up is dark/fucked, but to me that's coping out of the grim and the dark of the imperium.Also, doesn't make sense. No way the imperium is how it is because of necessity, it makes no sense for it to develop the way it did because if had to.In short: The grim darkness of the imperium stems from its own willing regression and delusion. It's a grim fantasy empire in a dark future, if you will.
>>98497280>>The Imperium is the best of all possible situations, and has justified reasons for all of its actionsBecause it reminds you that all the horrific things the Imperium has done were completely necessary to counter a far greater evil than even the worst of Humanity could imagine. Its like saying what if Hitler was actually right....now thats fucking grim man.
>>98497315>>98497325>No way the imperium is how it is because of necessityI find that whether the Imperium is justified or not comes down to entirely how much Chaoswank someone believes in. Because basically everything the Imperium does can be justified in one way or another if you believe Chaos is that strong. If you don't believe that Chaos is nearly omnipotent then a lot of their actions become self-sabotaging.
>>98497308>>people are nostalgic for 9thI'll take 'things that aren't true' for 500, Alex.
>>98497280The Imperium is just regular human nature taken to its logical extreme and happening all at once. History has worse stuff in it than your toy soldier backstory.
>>98497303Back in 10th I played Eldar against Thousand Sons and stopped playing afterwards because it made me realize TSons got to keep their Psychic phase when Eldar didn't.Fun fact; Marines and Eldar have the same number of Psychic detachments, and the Marine one is only 1DP while the Eldar one is 2DP.
>>98497330>If you don't believe that Chaos is nearly omnipotentThis is the slippery slope all over again tho and as it turns out..it was practically a slip and slide.Chaos IS that bad and its been fleshed out in lore.
>>98497280Always somewhere in the middle, tending towards the first statement. > There are people fighting to make things better, as there are also people fallen to plain ol' human weakness.> Despite the efforts of all involved, something completely out of their control or out of their ability to perceive comes and bodies them either destroying them or forcing draconian measures in order to surviveI actually really like the view of the Highlord/Hexarchy conspiracy in the Vaults of Terra/Watchers of the Throne that they call "Static Tendency", which is essentially: "Things are the way they are because they couldn't be any other way because otherwise Emps would have intervened, besides, we're still here after ten thousand years, don't fix what ain't broke".
>>98497331Can't scroll up one post award.
>>98497338>Chaos IS that badWell that's the question innit? If Chaos IS that bad why is it only that bad now? According to 40k we are currently, right now, living in a timeline where Chaos *currently* exists and yet no chaos cults.
>>98497337Wait I skipped on most of 10th because it was shit. Are you telling me that not only did guard keep their "orders" Phase but 1ksons also got theirs while eldar got reduced to having bad psychic shooting attacks as "spells"? My fucking jetseer is A fucking useless Eldritch Storm on a bike you knobs!
>>98497344forgive me I have brain damage
>>98497353Chaos wanted the Imperium to come about because it feeds them the infinite suffering of mankind. It's why Slaanesh let the Eldae 'control' the galaxy for so long; he knew they wouldn't fuck with Humanity thus allowing for the Imperium to be formed. When it was time for the Great Crusade to happen Slaanesh instantly obliterated the Eldar to pave the way for the Emperor's rise.
>>98497330It makes no sense since it feeds chaos. You can't use "fighting chaos" as a justification as to why the imperium has to be a certain way when it feeds it.That's why it makes no sense to think it's out of necessity: eitherA) they're ignorant and that's why they're shooting themselves in the footor B) they're doing something out of necessity, which is actually counter-productive so they're ignorant and shooting themselves in the foot.I think it's much more understandable that people want to think the imperium is doing it out of necessity because they don't like the imperium being sub-optimal. It's like retards arguing everything GW does is for a good reason and always positive.The imperium is retarded, that's the point. That is fun. A crazy drunken priest is a much more interesting and fun character than a power-fantasy self-insert isekai character.
>>98497353ntaYou know warhammer 40 fluff isn't really happening right? That its a fantastical thing?
>>98497220Not a problem for anyone but the Imperium.
>>98497352Gorgeous nightbringer conversion, the paintjob is so fucking good too.Picrel is my fav Sanguigui
>>98497333>History has worse stuff in it than your toy soldier backstoryI used to think that the Night Lords were too caricatural evil to be real; an entire army of sadistic criminals and rapists recruited and sent to war because they are monsters was just shitty edgelord stuff to me, there was no way such a thing could be believableAnd then one day I learned about the Dirlewanger brigade
>>98497195>pic
>>98497365Yes, but Warhammer 40k says that the real timeline of real earth still happened, meaning that you can have a comfy modern 1st world lifestyle and not be uber-fucked by Chaos.
>>98497361It's okay, it only shows the decline of 40k's rules in general. If most editions are worse than the last, people will appreciate the best edition they knew. That and nostalgia for that new game feeling.
>>98497358Take heart, hello Eldarchad, they are bringing wizard levels back and seem to be giving each army unique casting rules with each codex.We get to wait 2 more years before we're disappointed by our new rules!
>>98497358We actually had something really funny happen in Pre-10th during the previews where Eldar being a 'psychic' faction was translated as none of their Psychic weapons having Hazardous. The day immediately afterwards they showed KSons rules and made special mention that they can make ANY Psychic weapon, including the ones Eldar have, Hazardous on a whim.Eldar are genuinely the worst of the Psychic factions in the game right now.
>>98497239He was also a child at one point.
>>98497308I am nostalgic for January 2020.
>Everyone gets pissed off at this Thousand Sons player at my GW because he gave every model in every unit a different gun and melee so every shooting and fight phase from him takes over an hour
>>98497385>Nth-dimensional Snakes & Ladders move to make the other player ragequit and forfeit the game
>>98497385This is why mono weapon squads are better for the game.
>>98497376>they are bringing wizard levels back and seem to be giving each army unique casting rules with each codex.I don't buy this. I'm almost certain it's going to turn into a case of Psykers having to choose whether they use their token 'Psychic' datasheet ability or they get to use a Psychic weapon, and they won't be able to use both in the same turn.
>>98497376I'll evaluate the rules and the book when it comes out. So far 11th is a miss for me and I have a 4th edition game scheduled for tonight so I'm not missing shit.

>>98497373Hell it took the Eldar 60 million years of post-scarcity utopia where they fucked constantly for Chaos to get them, if anything it's actually really hard to get Chaos corrupted and the Imperium only manages to make it a problem because it's such a miserable shithole that even North Korea looks pleasant in comparison
>>98497352>>98497369More old primarchs!
>>98497373Nah, it diverges in the 80s or so. The Dark Future game is where it splits. Its been a while since I read the series but its in that.
>>98497369I love that early era of NMM when people would paint little white glints on them
>>98497373>or B) they're doing something out of necessity, which is actually counter-productive so they're ignorant and shooting themselves in the foot.We have been over this.Read the stories of the Perpetuals in the HH. Chaos had a presence on Earth.The Sirens of Greek myth were Slaaneshi daemons.During WW1, a German trooper was screaming Blood for the Blood God.etc.
>>98497396>Hell it took the Eldar 60 million years of post-scarcity utopia where they fucked constantly for Chaos to get themWe've been over this; Slaanesh allowed that to happen so that Humans could progress and eventually form the DAOT, thus leading to the Imperium.Chaos could have destroyed the Eldar any time they wanted to, but they needed to ensure the Imperium came about properly. The Eldar were too lazy and stupid to expand which gave Humans all the time they needed to progress.
>tfw you finish your first squad of terminators at 3am
>>98497404>Chaos had a presence on Earth.Obviously not much of one then if we're able to get by perfectly fine without even noticing and without taking any of the extreme measures of the Imperium
>>98497364No Its always been justified.

>>98497409we are currently ruled by a slaaneshi cult though
>>98497364How is it that the Imperium are uniquely retarded but everyone else gets a pass? How can Dark Eldar torture and fuck their way though life to keep themselves safe from Slaanesh? Why can CWE work themselves up to a frenzy to get their god of murder boners erect and go slaughter a bunch of people for their own benefits? Why can Tau create a whole new god?

>>98497435>How is it that the Imperium are uniquely retarded but everyone else gets a pass?Eldars are dying and too far up their own assesOrks are retarded and violence-brainedChaos is self-defeating, constantly fighting itselfTyranids are limited by their "animal" natureT'au are blind to see neither their own naïvety nor how they are as narrow-minded and brutal as the restDeldars are like eldars and chaos: fucked, low numbers, a shadow of their former selves, but also constantly sabotaging each othersVotanns are doomed by the limits of their ancestor cores being reachednecrons are often senile, plagued by politics and possibly doomed by the destroyer virus and the fact that while the eldars are fucked, the rest of the galaxy might be too much for them.Every faction is retarded. Every single one of them. That's the point.>deldar tortureThat is not a final solution AND it comes with the price that their entire society is fucked and rotten. They're not getting away with shit.>tau new godI've been consisten in forgetting this on purpose. It's retarded and I hate this shit. 100% justified the term "marvel-slop".
>>98497474But the Emperor is the Dark King, his religion will ultimately ruin him
>>98497468>but never about the Eldar.The Eldar are already literally damned; they also have .001% the lore/books/actual characters than the Imperium do. Plus, the Imperium is the human faction
>>98497465Question.Why does he have the Eye of Horus on his stomach plate? That's a Black Legion symbol.
>>98497435>Why can Tau create a whole new god?Because they're not actively suppressing religion and faith like the Imperium is
>>98497330>>98497338>>98497364Personally I think Chaos is sometimes not treated seriously enough, although it's usually in bolter porn where Marines are somehow not affected by Chaos at all. Chaos at minimum should be treated like highly radioactive waste that self propagates if left to do it's thing for even a second.Besides, there's other reason's besides Chaos that the Imperium needs to be the most brutal regime imaginable. The new book by Abnett "Hive" has nice worldbuilding in a Hive World and why things might suck, and also a lesson on why sometimes if things actually were worse, then they wouldn't become catastrophic.
>>98497489That is a deception from Chaos. They hoped to corrupt the Emperor into renouncing his Faith and joining them. He denied them for he realized the Truth of God, and saw that the path to salvation for all Mankind would require his sacrifice and suffering.
In Nottingham should I go to Warhammer World
>>98497404>During WW1, a German soldier was screaming blood for the blood godLet me guess, a corporal hurt in a gas attack ?
>>98497479Nu40k is hot garbage, but this thread is infested by nufags, so fuck the cave./40kg/'s only difference with a subreddit is that we don't have to pretend to care about -current thing- nor police ourselves to be "accepted". The retarded opinions are still being shoved down your throat if you dare question the quality of 40k.
>>98497497He still becomes the Dark King though. That's not something he can prevent, it's going to happened, it's technically already happened.
>>98497500Why else would you go to Nottingham for? Grab some of the exclusive sets and sell them on E-bay
>>98497500>In NottinghamYou poor soul>should I go to Warhammer WorldYeah they've got some fun dioramas
>>98497493>Imperium needs to allow all types of religion and spawn a new warp god to not be retarded
>>98497505yeah a guy with mediocre painting skills, that's the one
>>98497507>He still becomes the Dark King thoughHe doesn't, he specifically outright rejected the entire notion and said no to it.Emps is going to stay as what he is and isn't changing. It's just more evidence for the fact that the Emperor in fact is NOT a god and never was.Even based on Guilliman talking to him we know Emperor is still bound to the material universe aka real space. Yeah, he has a presence in the Warp, but every fucking human and psyker has a presence within the Warp, that presence being their SOUL. Emperor is no different.
>>98497500I thought my third-world country was embarrassing. Now I feel a bit better.
>>98497507Anon, the Dark King is a lie. It is an intentionally faulty logic that the Chaos Gods use to cow the greatest of Human leaders into serving them. After the Emperor saw through this deception and denied them, the Chaos Gods instead have declared that it is actually Abaddon who shall 'become' the Dark King, on order to tempt him into accepting their dominion over him.The Chaos Gods pretend that they will become slaves to the Dark King, when in truth He shall become a slave to Them.
>>98497524Shit like this makes realize that guy drawing eldritch abominations in MS paint isn't that bad
>>98497518Well nobody said that, the Imperium would still be retarded even if they allowed for religion
>>98497524credit card debt
>>98497524I have the money, but the trick in having money is not spending it the moment you have it. Have already spent 500$ on a custom miniature, but I know myself, I know the only times waiting had a bad outcome was with FOMO shit that, ultimately, may either return for purchase or become pointless by the release of something better.If it wasn't so expensive I'd have commissioned more.
>>98497532So say what it is instead of roping 40k into it.
>>98497435>How can Dark Eldar torture and fuck their way though life to keep themselves safe from Slaanesh?They're appeasing Slaanesh to save themselves.

>>98497559>picnta but I hate normie fanart. It's not about deepening the setting or their own OCs, it's just shitty crossovers or dumb normie shit with a 40k paintjob.
>>98497568Yeah anon because nobody gives a fuck about xenos, they quite literally exist jusy so the Imperium can kill them.
>>98497558Tau didn't create a Chaos god. Tau created a war god. There's a difference. You wouldn't call Sigmar a Chaos god.
>>98497529But the Dark King is already in the Warp.And the Terminus Decree mentions the possibility of the Emperor becoming a Warp God.

>>98497568NTAI thought everyone knew the eldar were retarded and self defeating by default. That's their entire deal. They're a fallen and doomed race of dying arrogant retards who make things worse for themselves the more they try and save themselves.

>>98497576>But the Dark King is already in the Warp.He isn't.>terminus decreeA virus that kills all space marines.
>>98497550AHKSHUALLY that's not how it works in the lore anon. Some conclave of mad scientists (Heamonculi) came up with the method of topping up their own souls through the suffering of others. It's scientific as well as mystical. Eldar souls are constantly being drained by Slannesh unless you have a method that either replenishes your soul (DE), side steps that process (Craftworlds, Exodites, Soulstones+Worldstones), or your soul is claimed by another god (Harlequins and the super rare Chaos Eldar). Pirates usually either have a soul stone or they continue to use the DE method. DE are not appeasing Slannesh or using a surrogate. Khaine is a seperate entity and also doesn't feed Khorne.
>>98497565we'll find out in november when they get their new rules
>>98497404Also the devil was just straight up a real daemon and the Emperor killed him, now he's a sword wielded by Abaddon.

>>98497596And he’s a retard so
>>98497568>Yet we don't hear endless bitching about how they're retardedAnon, 90% of the time someone brings up the Eldar it's to bash and insult them. Even GW themselves like to make fun of the Eldar as a hopeless faction.I'm pretty sure one of their Codices even mentions that in-universe if an Eldar thinks about their situation for too long they eventually just stop, curl up into the fetal position, and die of depression, since they realize they have no real hope as a species.
>>98497592He is. Made clear in the End and the Death vols.>A virus that kills all space marines.Nah. It's an order by the Emperor himself to take him down if he ever got up from his throne.

>>98497642Understandable, but bear in mind that BAngels have more attached baggage than most founding legions for /yourdudes/.If my custom chapter master wasn't built off of Darnath Lysander I'd probably make them WS successors instead of IF.

>>98497661
>>98497657True we could just make all our tanks out of paper mache or somethingExcept the reason we don't is that plastic is obviously a better material.And that's why GW is gay for creating a pointless multi-step process to cover their own ineptitude, as are the autistic people who get upset when I complain about it.
>>98497659Holy shit those are massive.As for the actual question.The latter, votann are more tactical and strategic with their forces. Human wave tactics aren't something they are known for.
>>98497659>ChaosWouldnt say Chaos is neverending; Chaos Marines have massive logistical issues almost across the board
>>98497631>progenitorPro writer tip: don't write what you don't have to write. You can always fill it in later when you need it. Otherwise you can write yourself into a corner.BUT, rejoice, for 40k is great for "soft retcons". You can say your chapter is of UM heritage and then change it later. It happens in 40k. Your dudes forgot. Were tricked. The inquisition or high lords changed your records millenia ago. Etc.>But what about very specific mutations like the red thirst?Your dudes could have a mutation due to geneseed degradation/alteration that look like the red thirst, but is actually unrelated. It happens.TL;DR: if you can't choose, ask yourself if you actually need to choose. You may not need to know right away to keep on working.Last tip: if you really can't choose between 2 (or more) things, don't choose. Do both. Especially in the context of marine chapters.
>>98497675Chaos daemons are functionally infinite
>>98497663It's not like these are complicated shapes. It can be figured out.
>>98497619You can't really go wrong with blue and grey
>>98497601>I'm pretty sure one of their Codices even mentions that in-universe if an Eldar thinks about their situation for too long they eventually just stop, curl up into the fetal position, and die of depression, since they realize they have no real hope as a species.I refuse to believe that. Not even Gav would make them that pathetic.
>>98497659>and older than my civilizationif a 10000 year old propositioned me, I think I'd have to yes just for bragging rights. Maybe not if they were a vecna looking bag of leather but Eldar are forever gorgeous (until sculpted by a GW employee) so that's a moot point
>>98497604Eldar souls are default "claimed" by Slannesh, it would probably be more accurate to say that Eldar souls are actually Slanneshi in essence. Their souls are getting siphoned over time by Slannesh's hunger. The suffering of other beings allows DE to work their technomystism to replace some of their lost soul stuff, basically vampirism. They aren't appeasing Slannesh, they are just delaying the inevitable. Some DE don't even like all that much what they need to do to survive.
>>98497506>t. Started during 8th.
>>98497597GW has craftworld Eldar terrain kits they haven't released.
>>98497707nta but qrd?
>>98497681Yeah but the conditions to actually manifest them anywhere are usually quite difficult to manage and require finite resources. The power of chaos imo is that it's incredibly "radio active" and "contagious" and therefore hard to properly contain beyond its physical manifestation.
>>98497712The 9th ed codex has uniform eldar terrain with clear seam lines they've used in codex images since at least 9th edition.
>>98497724Pic?
>>98497689>feeding the god who eats your soul with more souls isn't appeasing it I have no idea how you manage to think that unless you somehow also think the eldar's intention matters at all to Slaanesh, which it clearly doesn't seeing as they made it by accident in the first place.Would >feeding instead of >appeasing work better for you?
>>98497716Sure but even then, chaos worlds can pump out daemon engines, and they have a steady supply of mortal slaves too, plus you got the Lost and the Damned. For all intents and purposes Chaos is just the mirror reflection of the Imperium and, like the Imperium, is functionally infinite.
>>98497730Later, perhaps.
>>98497687Well the next panel of that pic is a mating press so your response is pretty natural.
>>98497689>Some DE don't even like all that much what they need to do to survive.Dark eldar are evil because VecKKKt forced them to do this, see chud?
By converting to Ynnari Eldar can resecure their souls, no? You'd thing that would be something attractive
>>98497684I understand diy terrain. I have made dioramas before. It's just that it's less fun when I'm trying to get something which is both cheap and durable enough to not totally suck. But this always runs into the other problem like >>98497707the Exodite Waystones and Stelaes in the pictures they took in the studio are clearly unreleased terrain, fully plastic, you can tell from the indentation of the eldar runes instead of it simply being painted on. This rotates back around to me not wanting shitty knockoff terrain but 'the real thing' or as close as possible. But the real thing is having someone on fiverr print it for 50 or 60 bucks. Which brings me back to "why did those cunts put that cunting 10x ork snagga boyz in the box instead of the terrain, I don't want fucking snagga boyz".
>>98497745I mean honestly how is what the Dark Eldar do any different from what the Imperium does?
>>98497748No. Only Yvraine herself can pull off that trick and only if you die within her immediate vicinity. Even then there's a 50/50 chance Ynnead just eats you and that's basically the same as Slaanesh eating you; infinite suffering. In some ways it's actually worse since Ynnead also gives you ego-death along the way.
>>98497745>>98497689dark eldar refresh soon
>>98497759Good. Eldar deserve to suffer
>>98497745trueborn need to have the suffering grindset manually instilled into them and they don't start out as sadists from the moment they pop from their mothers
>>98497766What if they allow sexo with their women?
>>98497733The point is they didn't create Slannesh by accident. They created it purely out of being themselves. That's why their souls are ready claimed and tallied. The DE murder fucking other stuff doesn't feed Slannesh any more or less souls, it's still getting it's claimed Eldar souls sooner or later and the souls of those poor fucks that get tortured end up going to their respective patrons or just fading into the warp. DE actually clamp down very very hard on anything that actually resembles Slannesh worship or empowers it. DE /= prefall Eldar at all. Even they practice some self restraint.
>>98497757>why did those cunts put that cunting 10x ork snagga boyz iSniggas might not be the most popular but it IS a GAME box and not an army set, you're supposed to hsve s versus set straight out of the cardboard. Beast snaggas are a pretty appropriate enemy for dino riders.
>>98497772He's gay, he'd rather sexo with their men.
>>98497773Oh never mind you're just flat out wrong about a lot of stuff and think more of a soul isn't more of a soul somehow. They don't go to their respective patrons, they go to slaanesh. That's how it works. I notice you don't even have a cope for Khain being an aspect of Khorne.
>>98497772>what if the women condemn themselves to beastiality rape to create alliances to preserve themselves>>>/d/
>>98497759>>98497766>Even in death, I still suffer
>another eldar seether spergoutstrange that I’ve never seen decal and eldar seether in a room together
>>98497748Well it was initially attractive to some but as >>98497759 said it doesn't actually quite work out like sunshine and rainbows because they botched the creation of Ynnead, but also mostly because they can't get Ynnari lore straight and realised they fucked up with it and now aren't sure what to retcon or not.

Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98497791I thought the eldar seether was noldorfag.

Ork newfag here, WIPs of my first ever 40K minis.Shitty camera. Rust effect with red+brown+black base coat turned out good imo, love doing mettalics with it.Do you guys have any tips for doing edge highlights and scratches on armor/leather? Do I just mix the needed color with a white/lighter color or is there a better method?
>>98497799Speaking of, has there ever been any actual proof that the Emperor actually has an afterlife?
>>98497797Noldorfag will defend Eldar only so far as there are no other elf-adjacent groups to defend. He'll abandon them in an instant if he feels like going to another thread.
>>98497792That's good because now the backstory of <my drukari> archon makes even more sense.
>>98497818No it doesn’t because anon pulled that out of his ass
>>98497799>Ynnead gives you rest.She actually doesn't.When Ynnead eats an Eldar soul, she subjects them to EVERY sensation, all at once, infinitely. This process obliterates the Eldar soul's conciousness and ego, essentially erasing them as an entity separate from Ynnead. Ynneads end-goal is to absorb EVERY Eldar soul (thereby erasing the Eldar from existence) and utilize their combined psychic energy and subsequent lack of faith to zero-sum herself to a higher plane of existence. The Ynnari are simply hoping that in the new plane of existence Ynnead will make new Eldar who might get to be happy.The Ynnari are a DEATH CULT. They accept they're going to die and simply hope that it'll be worth something.
>>98497822But I like it so now that's canon because I enjoy it more.
>>98497797Noldorfag doesn't seethe about eldar, he just seethes if somebody draws eldar x human romance stuff.Nobody knows why but that just winds him the fuck up and makes him spergout, he's been a consistent nuisance on the board for like over decade I think.This guy here seething over eldar is just decalfag, he for whatever reason gets mad over eldar existing.
>>98497784There is no cope. Khaine isn't Khorne. Older lore had them be different sides of the same entity but that's no longer the case. Orks murder fucked by DE go to Gork and Mork. A Khornate gladiator in Corm goes to Khorne. Etc.
>>98497823That doesn't happen.When all eldar die it causes Ynnead to be actually born, who then in return resurrects all the eldar since they can do that as the god of death.
>>98497823>When Ynnead eats an Eldar soul, she subjects them to EVERY sensation, all at once, infinitely. This process obliterates the Eldar soul's conciousness and ego, essentially erasing them as an entity separate from Ynnead. GIWTWM I get the death cult now.
>>98497830In the Ynnari series and "Howl of the Banshee", it's said that Khaine is the child of Slaanesh and Khorne.One of the banshees says that the Khornate daemons that Khaine still hates his father, Khorne.
>>98497805Unsure, but humans 100% suffering in the warp, thats was been in some Celestine blslop (she also dies twice in her own novel, even Angron/Skarbrand/avatar of Khaine are not that pathetic)>>98497823>She>YnneadI dont even try to read the rest, retard-sama...
>>98497834Gods can only continue exist if there are people who believe in them, anon.If all the Eldar are dead then there isn't anyone to believe in Ynnead.>>98497844Ynnead's pronouns are dubiois but the Yncarne has tits.
>>98497829>gets mad over eldar existing.I get being mad about eldar lore sucking, but that's autistic.
Why is it that whenever I see a woman in this hobby, I think she is some sort of grifter trying to farm lonely dudes for clicks or money? I know it is a poor line of thought but I definitely get those feelings all the time from women in this hobby. Like if I see a woman cosplaying as a sister of battle my first thought is "You are farming clicks or farming lonely dudes." not "OH SHE MUST REALLY LOVE SISTERS OF BATTLE!!!"
>>98497745Its canon. Kinda.Deldar are a social darwinist hellscape where only the smartest and cruellest bastards make it to adulthood. Their are occasionally "kind" deldar children but their kindness is usually exploited by their peers and then they get murdered.There are no deldar adults who aren't pure evil. Any deldar that reached adulthood without being pure evil would escape to join the corsairs or harlequins at the first available opportunity. Any that stick around either like being pure evil or are too cowardly to try and stop being pure evil.Either way they deserve to suffer.
>>98497861Because the only place you see women in the hobby is online
>>98497829Ive been giving mild commentary on the Eldar today but I'm not the one who has been lambasting them.
>>98497873Why is that? You are definitely right but I never really knew why that is. Is it literally just because the hobby is so male dominated? I don't think dudes really hard gate keep the hobby like that from women though. Right?
>>98497823Oblivion is a measureable improvement to infinite suffering.
>>98497851>Gods can only continue exist if there are people who believe in themOnce a god exists, it has always existed within the Warp. Worshippers be damned. So again, doesn't matter.Eldar will die, Ynnead will be born, and then eldar will be reincarnated like before. That is what will happen.
>>98497802Looking good so far. You can mix with a lighter color, but you can also just water down the paint to a lighter tone and highlight like that.
Does the Necron Aprentek do anything in 40k? How much of kill team is transferable into 40k?
>>98497841Which page?
>>98497861>think she is some sort of grifter trying to farm lonely dudes for clicks or money?Because you are dumb. Dumb for thinking you can understand the motives of a stranger. Dumb for thinking of a stranger. Dumb for concerning yourself with a stranger. Dumb for not recognizing the futility of your stupidity.
>>98497873I'm not even contesting the point the point he's trying to make but the XKCD guy really became a pathetic virtue signaler lately, I think Trump really mindbroke him like so many other liberals I still remember that comic of his where he complained about the lack of women in LotR movies as if it was somehow related to the issues he usually adress
>>98497737damn, artist? This I wanna see
>>98497886>Once a god exists, it has always existed within the Warp. Worshippers be damned. So again, doesn't matter.That only applies to Chaos since the Chaos Gods are amalgamations of various different minor faiths feeding into a single domain. If you kill every Khorne worshipper there will still be bloodshed and war, which in turn will spark faith in Khorne again even if it's under a new name.
>>98497881>Why is that?Because women don't want to deal with guys that wargames like 40k attracts. It's that simple.
>>98497802>leather Dryad Fart basecoat Shade with a black (use nuln oil if confused)Fat highlight with dryad fart, basically leaving the areas that are meant to be dark with the shade Mournfang next highlight this can be used for scratching as well, just be selective.XV-88 as a final highlight. This is meant to be used on the edges only, gives the worn effect.Scratching on armour is a little tricky, too much can overwhelm the miniature and make it look shit, basically you want to grab your highlight colour, (a lighter colour than your basecoat. And add little dots. This can be done by sponging the edges of the armour, or you can just add a little flick on your edge highlights. After that step you paint in the middle of the dot Rhinox hide/Dryad Fart to give it the "chip effect". Easiest way to do it.Here is an example of the leather recipe.
>>98497904Where is that said?
>>98497841That's fucking retarded and I choose to ignore it especially because >Ynnari book.The Eldar Pantheon were legendary heroes and possibly Old Ones from the War in Heaven that ascended to godhood and eventually became mythologized into what they are/were now.
>>98497904>That only applies to ChaosIt does not. It applies to all of the warp and beings within it.And all gods exist within the Warp, like Ynnead, Gork and Mork, etc.Warp has no time or causality, once a god exists within it, it has always existed and always will exist. No exceptions.
>>98497881You don’t really need to gatekeep to make women not want to hang out around warhammer spergs. At least 50% of people in this hobby are somewhat offputting to normies, and at least 10% are offputting even to seasoned toy soldier enjoyers. Then you have to consider that a lot of these guys are thirsty as fuck and will spill their spaghetti around any woman with a pulse
>>98497906What kind of dudes exactly? I feel like the hobby is relatively diverse in types of dudes into it. I think the issue is that like most hobbies that are mostly one sex, it looks weird if someone of the opposite sex is there even though its "fine". For example, dudes going to romantic novel reading clubs which are mostly women. Dudes can go but its considered weird.
>>98497841>In the Ynnari seriesSeries that got cancelled.Aka, it's not canon and it is entirely irrelevant to the story.Nevermind that it's just actual chaos wankery that the author is trying to push.
>>98496700What bronze paint was possibly used for those plasma coils? I like it.
>>98497918That and the overwhelming majority of women in the hobby are pickme girls.
>>98497895>Many are the tales of the Bloody-Handed God. His murderous rage and jealous lust caused much strife amongst the pantheon of the aeldari, and his slaying of Eldanesh precipitated the disastrous War in Heaven. So legends claim. Perhaps the truth is something else, but antiquity is a fog not easily penetrated. Legend also claims that when the Great Enemy arose, born of the nightmarish perversions, desires and twisted ambitions of the aeldari Fall, Khaine was there to fight, the warrior-god of his people.>Here myth is conflicted, and the sagas of one craftworld differ from the epics of another, as much as they differ again from the folk tales of Commorragh and the dances of the disparate Harlequin masques. Some say that She Who Thirsts tried to consume Kaela Mensha Khaine, but in struggling from her grip the Bloody-Handed One shredded into many parts and the tatters of His existence fluttered down into the universe of mortals. Some say that Khaine was always the son of the Great Enemy and the Lord of Skulls, their twain desires of glory and bloodshed matched within His breast. The elevation of the Doom of the Aeldari was too much and broke apart his immortal frame, scattering bloody parts into the cosmos. And there are those that claim the Brass King and She Who Thirsts fought openly for possession of the Bloody-Handed, and in the struggle Khaine was split asunder and flaming fragments of his being were released into reality.Chapter 24 Ghost warrior
>>98497919NTA, but I've seen the thirst upfront, it's embarrassing watching guys fawn over every pair of tits they see in a hobby store. It's not like "shoot your shit" stuff, it's simping behavior and it just is disgusting to watch. While some women enjoy the attention, those tend to be the Stacy types used to attention, while the nerdier girls often are not used to that much male attention and tend to be offput by it.
>>98497913>Brooksoids are that retarded and believing in this.Sorry to be the one to tell you this anon but Deldar are born no more evil than regular eldar.Which is to say they're marginally more evil than newborn humans but less evil than ork yoofs.Dark eldar style pure evil can only be learned behaviour.
How do I find a trans girlfriend that plays warhammer?
>>98497930Play the Imperium long enough, you'll find one.
>>98497930Start talking to Krieg players, they all tend to gravitate to the reddit meme factions like Krieg and Custodes
grey knights refresh NEVER
>>98497946Good!
>>98497919>What kind of dudes exactly?Autistic perma virgins who unironically start to almost shaking because there's a decently attractive girl within the same space as them.Obviously this leads to them trying to hit on the girl, obviously failing due to bad social skills and spilling spaghetti out of their pocket.Or they sperg out in some stupid manner which makes the girl be put off and they'll probably just won't ever come back.
>Even during the "Golden age" of Imperium during pre heresy 30K on Macragge one of the nicest planets in the entire Imperium, a regular person only had one day off in the entire MONTH.Imperium has never not been shit to your average guy. Only it went from 12 hour days 1 day off entire month during the "Golden age" to 20 hour days 1 day off entire year now. People lived much better in pre Imperium human civilizations before the Emperor subjugated them.
Fellas, I'm about 5000 words deep into an autistic mashup of 40k and Bolt Action (best way to describe it would be 3rd-7th with random activation and pinning mechanics). Would I find kindred autists here for playtesting once I get far enough along?
>>98497926How do you rationalise picking one of three eldar myths and treating it as confirmed truthbover the others? Especially over the far older stance on Khaines sundering which is repeatedly stated in 3rd person omniscient narrator perspective in the eldar codexes and is still mentioned as possible in the same exerpt?
>>98497802You can mix a lighter colour yourself or buy a lighter colour to use for highlights. It's a lot faster if you have a lot of figures to paint (which is usually the case with orks)
>>98497886Nah this bit of lore is absolutely retarded. Sure, a god might have "theoretically" existed forever, but that doesn't mean it had any power though it's existence. Slannesh had no power before being born, therefore it might as well have not existed. Likewise there's a story somewhere saying how the entity known as Tzeentch was actually not the "original god" but was instead a fragment/demon that challenged the existing god and won. Its like Aristotle's Forms. There's a plane out there where everything conceivable exists, as an ideal, but until someone actually conceives it can we say it actually exists? The Eldar gods 'always' (they didn't) existed, but now they don't. The Dark King? What about whatever the Emperor is becoming? The new Tauva entity? I like to think of that as the Chaos gods talking themselves up as sort of a feed back loop in hopes that they do actually become these true godlike beings. But they aren't. They're just cancerous thought forms. T. Fabius Bile
>>98497946As a Grey Knight player. FUCKING GOOD. I like my Grey Knights not being monopose and actually getting enough weapon options in the box. Though they could give a bit more heavy weapons in the box since there's no special Purgation box.
>>98497970Based fabius. Daemon bullshit literally only works if you believe it does. They lie constantly but if enough people believe their lies they become true.
>>98497829>This guy here seething over eldar is just decalfag, he for whatever reason gets mad over eldar existing.Fecaloid is literally, unironically, clinically, not in a meme way, actually autistic. He identifies with his factions and so takes lore personallyHe has some Necrons so he has to hate Eldar since they are stated to be enemies. This is why he constantly shadowboxes with them.
Nidbros... give it to me straight, is he any good?
>>98497978>I like my marines being squatty and full of mould slippage because I can't stand the idea of models not having shitty ball and socket torsos!!!
>>98497926Isn't that the same book where genestealers somehow infect a daemon?
>>98497946Good, they'll continue to have good infantry kits.
>>98497984If you want your monopose piece of shit marines play any other marine army. Leave my Grey Knights alone.
>>98497998you don't have grey knights :)
>>98497802>first minis>paints thinned well>already going for checkerboard patterns, highlights, and rustholy based
>>98497982I'm also a diagnosed sperg and I don't do any of this shit. He's got no excuse.
>>98497965Because Gav Thorpe prefers the child of Khorne and Slaanesh version
LE ECKS DEE XDXD I LIKE ORKS XD :DD
If you collected every avatar of khaine could you remake the shards into a complete khaine?
>>98497802You're based anon. Just started assembling my own orks that I bought off of Ebay. Hope to start painting soon.
Who gives a shit about greyknights having options if they all look shitty. Also greyknights might be the roughest minatures to paint ever holy fuck, thats a ton of detial.
Always funny to me how every Eldar 'discussion' just ends with it fizzling out since there's literally zero hope that Eldar fans can cling to beyond getting a refresh of their overpriced models that don't even get good rules any more.
>>98497982>Fecaloidcan you cut this weird namefag shit out?
>>98498017>marine>ton of detailBro they aren't even the hardest marines to paint what are you talking about.
>>98497960The point about the Imperium is that it USED TO have potential to be good. Yeah, even during the "golden age" of the imperium shit was still worse than we have today, but it would have progressed forward and become better over time.People seem to be forgetting, also seems that even the fucking writers are forgetting it, but Horus Heresy was always meant to be a TRAGEDY.The entire point of the Great Crusade and the subsequent Heresy is to be the final nail in the coffin for humanity.Great Crusade was the LAST hail mary attempt, the long shot of long shots, humanity ever had to regain their dominance of the galaxy and be able to thrive, to have a golden age and prosperity. The Heresy happening, entirely destroyed this dream and it has entirely doomed humanity into slow but inevitable extinction.Like this is the fate of humanity now, there is no changing it anymore.It is a canon fact that the Imperium is slowly driving humanity towards that extinction with its brutality in an attempt trying to stave off Chaos and all other enemies mankind faces. But it is not enough.The Imperium as per canon is losing thousands of planets everyday, the Golden Throne IS actively failing, they are also feeding the Emperor more and more psykers in an attempt to keep him alive a bit longer. But none of this is enough, and once the Emperor dies, humanity goes with him.
>>98498019
When it comes to basing, how do you normally decide what you want to go for / do? I know you can do some sick stuff with basing. I should base mine at some point.
>>98498023its important to bring up his name because its important to understand why there’s someone having a meltie over eldar.
>>98498030That's a question for /wip/, we dont post models here
>>98498007You ARE autistic, yes. But you are NOT AS AUTISTIC as he is.Remember, it is a spectrum after all.
>>98498008I do not give a single ruddy bloody fuck what Gav Thorpe says. He's the only GW Oldfag I wish had left so of course he's the only one who stayed.I must accept the shit he actually writes in books but anything he says on the-website-formerly-known-as-twitter is worth about as much consideration as literal fanfiction.
>>98498000I have around 2500+ points of Grey Knights plus another 500+ points if you count legends stuff
>>98498034That wasn't me for the second time, I posted a gif and made a couple comments agreeing with the anon that was attacking them.
>>98498019Haha yeah...
>>98497982I love necrons but you'll never see me having a hateboner for eldar. Or anyone else. It's not like you have to be a fluff-accurate, larping spokesman for your army.I just have a regular boner for eldar women. Why do we virtually never get sexcrons?
I HATE orks!
>>98498043cute larp
>>98498040>I don't care what the main writer for my faction's lore saysJust admit you want to fuck an elf so we can move on already.
I like Tau! :D
>>98498046is it not fun to engage in a bit of lore banter, people here are too uptight
>>98498040>saim-hann with an orange-to-red gradientGoddamn that looks nice. Just when I thought I didn't give a shit about eldar any more.Still a shame about their lore.
>>98498030My next model Ill be working on is Prince Yriel. In the lore he solos a god damn hive Tyrant. His base is going to be him standing on a dead hive tyrant. Simple as. For generic units I just pick a theme. I like the keep my Eldar basing clean and so usually it's just Eldar themed rocks or something.
>>98498040Why do you even care, his books aren't even canon.
>>98498051>>I don't care what the main writer for my faction's lore saysAnything Gav Thorpe says is to be discarded because he is a Dwarf fag without irony. No, this is not a joke.The man hates and abhors all elves, no matter what kind.
>>98498054Eldar fans can't reallyengage in lore banter since 90% of their lore is just "Look how much this faction fucking sucks".
>>98498051So we need to consider ADB's rancid twitter bitching as canon to how CSM work or how the emperor thinks? Nah fuck that. If its not ACTUALLY in a book its not canon. Its fanfiction GW won't let those retards publish.
I'm now claiming the objective with Eldar supremacy.
>>98498065>Nah fuck that. If its not ACTUALLY in a book its not canon. Its fanfiction GW won't let those retards publish.All of Black Library is just fanfiction. And it's not even good.
>>98498012Wouldn't help, he got his head kicked in last time and chaos is more powerful now.
>>98498064too true!
>>98498074stop ban evading
>>98498052Honestly I feel like the Tau are the best way to actually introduce someone to Warhammer 40k, if there was like a 'tutorial faction' it'd probably be them.
>>98498062Wow anon cool opinion, but guess what; He's still the guy who wrote your faction's lore. So either admit you don't care about the ACTUAL lore of your faction and are only in it for headcanons, or shut the fuck up and go back to oggling elf tits.You fuckers are so God damn insufferable.>Oh boo hoo why does the faction of losers always lose? If you wanted a faction that wins and gets to look cool then you shouldn't have chosen to be an Eldar fan.
>>98497823God I would love to have been a fly on the wall when GW was actually planning what the fuck they wanted to do with the Ynnead/Slaanesh squatting plan that they chickened out of
>>98498082>He's still the guy who wrote your faction's loreHe didn't. Jes Goodwin and Rick Priestley did that.
>>98498054Theres a sifference between in LARPing in universe meme rivalries and reminding Elfags that GW writers hate them.Jes was the only person in the company that liked eldar, now that he's gone We're fucked
Can you imagine if ADB wrote an eldar plot for like three books? How much of a Mary Sue he would inevitably make his characters within their culture?
>>98498073Khaine was at his least powerful at the time (the Eldar having abandoned their gods and abandoned warfare for millions of years at this point) and still put up a decent fight against Slaanesh, who was at its most powerful
>>98498091He would give the mc a slaanesh daemon gf.
>>98498090I love every faction in the game exactly as much as GW hates them. You can probably guess my most and least favorite factions.
>>98498091An ADB Eldar Protag would be setting warping in its bullshit.
Why is the Space Marine number so ridiculously low? 1 million in the entire galaxy. Terra has population in the "Quadrillions" so I'm assuming 2 quadrillion. Imperial Guard is heavily inspired by WW2 Soviet Union and they drafted 20% of their entire population (which in 40K seems to be on the low end DESU but let's assume Terra gets special treatment here)So Imperial Guard just from Terra alone gets 400 trillion soldiers. And this is again just from Terra not counting all the other planets in the Imperium. The Terran Leman Russ/Rogal Dorn tanks would be around 1 million to 100k times more common than a single space marine. Again just from Terra.
>>98498095you read eldar books play admech and hate space marines
>>98498098logistics, geneseed supply, and easiest way of dealing with factionism against lords of terra was splitting them up
>>98498098You're underestimating the power of a Single Marine anon, 1 million is galaxy conquering power.
>>98498082>your lore is shit, and if you don't want it to be shit you should leaveI have no dog in this fight but what the hell is this inverse-gatekeep.
>>98498098some numbers are supposed to sound incredibly large, other numbers are supposed to sound achievable for a customer to buy enough plastic to represent. they're here to sell models not lore.
So are Eldar sexually compatible with humans or what
>>98498098I never understood humans fighting on this scale. It takes roughly 20 years before a human is in any real fighting condition. So you spend 20 years just to die in 2 seconds to some eldar freak? Seems retarded.
>>98498098>Why is the Space Marine number so ridiculously low?Because GW writers are retarded and can't comprehend numbers, it's like how Siege of Vraks is described to be horrifying and devastating war for the Imperium, but it had like 14 million casualties, which is lower than the all people who died during WW2.When the writers wrote "1 million marines" they thought it sounded impressive. That's the reason.
>>98498116Very.
>>98498100Correct on all three
>>98498098Terra having more than one quadrillion people is just GW not understanding scale. The lmperium could not feed that many people on one world. Their logistics are fucked.Every hive world put together only has a few quadrillion people and canonically most imperial citizens live on hiveworlds. We're talking about like~10% of every human in the imperium living on one fucking planet.
>>98498098Because the Imperium is afraid of the Space Marines. Sure, they're useful against their enemies, but they're also a threat to the Imperium if they ever grow too powerful. And while marines are rather weak compared to some of their competitors, if they were ever allowed to mass produce they could start calling the shots in the imperium.
>>98498052me too, the green swamp tau are especially close to my heart.
>>98498120I mean have you seen how quickly people die in the frontlines of Russia-Ukraine war? Supposedly a Russian soldier lasts 20-30 minutes there before dying.
>>98498082>uhm your lore is shit and you HAVE TO like it>if you don't slurp up all the dogshit Slop GW creates ur a fake fanWhat is this fucking stockholm syndrome behaviour? Especially for a faction you don't even fucking play or collect.
>>98498098Your assumptions are wrong
>>98498133Yissss
>>98498133>>98498142which sept is that
This is why fluff will always be superior to lore.
>>98498106IIRC it goes:>500 marines is what you send against minor non-threats>5,000 marines is considered a moderate force for moderate>50,000 marines is what you send for serious threats>lmao you're never getting hundreds of thousands of marines around for anything again
>>98498093Nah, space tranny dad can beat up space angry dad.
>>98498140And explain how they are wrong?
>>98498038I work with autistic kids on the muties level and above, and they are unironically better capable of keeping a cool head, and self regulating than the decalfag. I don’t know how old decalfag is irl, but he’s definitely got at least two decades on the kids I work with, so I have no doubt they won’t end up like him. autism may have pushed him forward, but he’s still absolutely doing everything by himself especially when he’s a grown ass man.
>>98498133>>98498142Maybe I should do this with that commander I got for Christmas ages ago.
Oh boy. Another 3 weeks of this, now without Purge the foe access for most armies
mankind swerve
>>98498155>500 marines is what you send against minor non-threatsNigga, that's half a chapter, which is a big fucking deal because that's essentially their entire main force with only reserve companies not deployed.If it's minor a small force of less then 50 would do the job, hell there's that story of a single squad of terminators conquering a hive world.
>>98498173What paint job you going for
>>98498170Holy shit Drukhari is in a bad state. No wonder why I destroyed them with Grey Knights even though they themselves also aren't in a great position.
>>98498155>I like or-ACK
>>98498167You still underestimate him. Remember, Chrischan exists and he is also autistic.Most autists get a mild variant, but once in a blue moon you get the giga autist supreme that makes you question reality and even god on some occasions when you see them.
>>98498174>Nigga, that's half a chapterYes, and? The Imperium has lost entire chapters before, it wasn't a big deal, 1,000 Space Marines is only .1% of all the Space Marines that exist roughly speaking.
"A thousand chapters of a thousand marines" was never intended to be an accurate count, and it's only become less accurate over time. Templars, Wolves, DAngels, Ultras all operate either as a single huge chapter of have dedicated feeder chapters to replace constant enormous losses. Even fully codex-compliant chapters run 10 squads of 10 *plus* command, dreadnoughts, armoury, librarians, apothecaries etc. in each company, and the scout company has no limit to its size. No one knows how many of /yourdudes/ chapters are running around the million worlds of the imperium and beyond.
Why do people look at your like the devil if you tell them how you only like to play the game and don't like to paint your minis and see it as a chore? I would buy prepainted minis in a heartbeat if they offered them.
>>98498168do it.
>>98498167Who do you think here wants to listen to this retarded drivel? Stop wasting every ones time with your bullshit pal.
>>98498192Fuck of satan.
Hellblaster status?
>>98498184>it wasn't a big dealJust because they don't flesh it out in story doesn't mean it's not a big deal. Anyone who even had a fractional percentage of involvement in the scale of failure was probably purged.
>>98496691Flamer in a knob unit seems weird, unless its some kind of heavy flamer
>>98498203They're never getting finished.
>>98498203Done
>>98498194all of your posts are retarded drivel because you admitted you’re a retard.
>>98498205You have to remember that not all Space Marine Chapters are the same in importance. Losing the Ultramarines? HUGE deal. Losing the "Scar Lords", a chapter nobody's even heard of? No biggie.
>>98496665>volumetrics>nmm knife>textured base that isn't just slapping GW stuff on it>leg has line the size of the great wall of chinais this a shitpost?
>>98498193This is kitbashes right
>>98498184Yes, and deploying half a chapter to a "minor non-threats" is retarded, if a space marine chapter is around they would mobiles half their chapter to deal with it, they send a strike team to deal with it or wait for the guard to go deal with it and assist if needed.
>>98498170XDXD :DD LE ECKS DEE!
>>98498178i fuck with vior'la pretty hard, beaten up white and red, maybe more a greyi know they're box art princesses but it's pretty handsome for what i gather is a very profuse and primary fire caste, though the force leans exclusively into battlesuits everyone but the command choice has been drawn right up from the muck for the operation in question (twin lance btw fuck it)
>>98498219We've seen 500 space marines deployed on light scouting patrols before, they're not as rare as people act.
>>98498192If you're only playing 40k for the game and not the models then there's a thousand other games that would be better to play you psycho.
>>98498206why do you always spell nob like that? they’re ork nobles.
>>98498170Guard is literally on par with Drukhari if you exclude 2 people (who went undefeated) on this chart's numbers btw
>>98498170Man wolves really held together by that one list. That book is pure ass if you ain't spamming terminators.
>>98498218NTA but no, at least not if my memory serves me right.
>>98498098Yeah I just redid the math.There are 32,400 hive worlds.If we high ball each hive world as having 500 billion people (the range is between 100 billion to 500 billion) then there are "only" 16 quadrillion humans living on hiveworlds.The majority of humand live on hive worlds, but we'll high ball it again and say that exactly 50% of humans in the galaxy live on hiveworlds, that means there are 32 quadrillion humans total.If 2 quadrilluon humans live just on Terra that means 6.125% of the imperiums entire population live on one fucking planet.If we take the low ball estimate of 100 bil per planet then every non-terran hiveworld in the galaxy cumulatively make up 3.24 quadrillion people.Double that for total population and you get 6.48 quadrillion people in the imperium in total.If Terra's got 2 Quadrillion people by itself thats almost a 3rd of all humans in the galaxy living on one fucking planet.Neither of these are credible figures to me.Anyone who tells you there are quadrillions living on Terra is retarded, especially GW.
>>98498209NTA but could I see?
>>98498225He's not playing 40k with cardboard chips, its with 40k models... just not painted.
are there any space dawg fans here?
>>98498206Skorchas are literally heavy flamers, yes.
>>98498242Nobody wants to play your childish games loser, go finger paint a turkey retard.
>>98498231Buddy you literally implied that you are retarded. Even without the context of your melties.Anyways, enjoy your ban (again×155)
>>98498170I'm ok with craftworlds being a little bit in the shitter. Means I can be an unbearable prick when I beat people with them anyway.Sucks to collect the adarki aeldari tho, lol.
>>98498249XD
>>98498253158 actually, 159 once this ongoing tantrum gets nuked
>>98498218no its the basic kit, just magnitzed on the stand instead of glued.
>>98498240not painting them makes the models look like shit and defeats the entire purpose. It's part of the whole modeling aspect.
>>98498258I stand corrected, he should do the mods a favour and just avatarfag his shit from an ass models.This has to be efficient as possible.
>>98498262Why don't you sit this one out, secondary.
>>98498231not buying it.also, where the fuck are your commas? you’re not beating the retard “allegations” that way.
>>98498268Paint wolves better than you do bro :^)
>>98498261NTA but I have a dose of personal autism that would make me appalled to play unpainted models. I don't have any persuasive argument for why people should be like this really, I just think they should.
>>98498268WRONG
>>98498174It's easy.>500 - 1,000 Space Marines is what was deployed against the Tau during and after the Damocles Crusade, considered a minor threat, so that's considered a 'minor' use of Space Marines>Armageddon had 50,000 Space Marines deployed, considered a major defensive action and important target, so that's how many space Marines you see in major military operations
>>98498193cool ass pose, weirdly it makes me think of transformers rather than standard gundam shit.
>>98498170How is it even possible to have a 27% winrate in current year? Has anyone besides Agents dipped that low since 9th edition? I think even Votann when they were unplayable in index10th had a 30% WR.
I've been laughing at this aislop 40k ISpy book for 20 minutes.
>>98498283The phobos drednaught in the middle is killing me.
>>98498283>finding small details in an AI imagethat’s so fucking evil. at least its not being sold for money I guess.
>>98498110>>98498137You're both missing the point.Eldar are specifically written to be losers and jobbers. That's SPECIFICALLY what they're meant to be; a faction doomed to never be major players on the galactic stage again as they slowly die off and suffer. That's their existence; suffering.Wanting Eldar to do more than that is on par with a Tyranid fan wanting an intelligent PoV that isn't the Hive Mind, or an Ork player wanting a pacifist WAAAGH, or a Space Marine fan who wants his army to die in droves like Guardsmen. You're asking for something that goes against the definition of the faction.You chose to be fans of the faction that exists only to lose and suffer. Don't act surprised or offended when all they do is lose and suffer.
>>98498283>dreadnought with pauldrons
>>98498283>loaded diceThat's cheating!
>>98498282>>98498256>>98498227>>98498180It's okay, Dark Eldar players love suffering. ;^)
>>98498283>ive been laughing at machine hallucinations that dont make sense huh
>>98498279world eaters need more fur pelts to complete the barbarian aesthetic they have going with the leather gloves and bare arms
DARK ELDAR REFRESH WHEN??
>>98498302This, let the world eaters mug the space wolves and take their fur capes.
>>98498303"two more weeks"
>>98498224When, during the great crusade? Were they scouting parts of the eye of terror or maelstrom?Are mistaking fleet based chapters for scouting patrols?Because there's a reason things like demi-compannies exist, it's so that space marines can deploy an adequate force without over deploying their forces if they're needed to help in other sectors.Hell I'll give the /v/ fags a bone since the majority of those fictional conflicts only have around company sized forces, and stuff like the Ultramarine movie you only have a squad and Chaplin going in to assist a bunch of imperial fists besieged by the black legion.
>>98498311angron already did the fur cape better than any yiff could ever do
>>98498311>mug
>>98498302Well technically that's a Warhammer Fantasy chaos warrior anyways.Which actually brings up an interesting point. In Warhammer Fantasy, the Empire had to fight against superhuman 9 foot tall warriors and endless hordes of chaff using combined arms and disciplined troops with smart tactics. In Warhammer 40k, the Imperium has adopted the 9 foot tall superhuman warriors and endless chaff tactics themselves, and it's largely the Tau that have taken the Empire's place.
>>98498319>Well technically that's a Warhammer Fantasy chaos warrior anyways.yeah but chaos marines are just chaos warriors in space
>>98498288>Ork player wanting a pacifist WAAAGH>he doesn’t know about the skitzos lorelet, my “peace boss” will command a greentide to spread love and joy to the entire galaxy.
>>98498279Oh it's this fucking retard again.
What is essential reading for a lorelet like myself?
>>98498319>combined arms and disciplined troops with smart tacticsThere's only 5 (or 4, doesn't matter) of them carving through millions of northlanders, and 40% of that group aren't even human.
>>98498329Love Can Bloom
>>98498329>readingdon’t be retarded, weshammer and bricky have all the info you need.
>>98498328NTA but how is he wrong?
>>98498319That's retarded, the empire holds them off because of their gunpowder, and all the really big ones don't go south because they don't consider it a challenge.
>>98498330Well the Empire/High Elves/Dwarf's willingness to use diplomacy and team up is fairly similar to the Tau/Eldar/Votann's willingness
>>98498336>the empire holds them off because of their gunpowderFair but that's just another point of similarity, superior firepower and a willingness to wittle the enemy down at range before they can get in close
>>98498329Infinite Jest
>>98498340In the lore guns are the great equaliser. That and the empire actually uses tactics unlike horde armies. Its why Azhag was so annoying to the empire. Artillery just decimates everyone. Even throne of chaos had the warhost delepleted trying to break nulns walls.
>>98498336>the empire holds them off because of their gunpowder,>holds them off >laughs in end times
We should build a wall to keep chaos out
>>98498329The codexes. Pirate them and read thrm online. Thats all you need to know the factions.
>>98498317Yes. As in, to steal through violent force.
>>98498311In a hypothetical situation with a gun to your head if you had to choose the victor of an all out brawl between the Wolves and Eaters you’d choose the Wolves 99% of the time and you know it.
>>98498319Compared to much of WHFB not having gunpowder, it's hard to remember sometimes that the Empire's got some of the best tech.
>>98498360Russ got roflstomped by Angron
>>98498360funny how they lose to the weaters every time then
>>98498337None of the Ubersreik Five are working together on official means. It was a "we either work together or we let the Skaven kill us individually" situation.Kerillian is also a wood elf, not a high elf, and Sienna isn't from the Empire (she's from Estalia). Kruber is even Bretonnian by blood, so only Saltzpyre is a "true" Imperial by WHF terms.
>>98498366People with poor reading comprehension would think so
>>98498351>bullshit skaven into killing everything but the empire is an le epic way>brettonians grail knights just go to a chapel???????????????????????????????????????????????>dwarfs just sit around waiting for thorgrim who somehow died to a rat because his warded armour was countered by an anti anti assassination blade.Don't get me started.
>>98498335Because there was a crusade conducted, which can be considered a minor crusade, but a minor threat in 40k is dark Eldar wraiding parties in a system, a barely contained GSC uprising on a mining world, out of control ork infestation, when you have multiple systems conquered by an alien race it's a bit more than a minor threat, but it could be dealt with a small crusade, which it wasn't.
>>98498370you didn't read the book by your own admission retard
>>98498366If you read the book, Lorgar has a melty trying to explain to Angron that he lost.
>>98498360>retard wolves who lose most conflicts they get into due to savagery>vs Kharn and his ilk who get active boons from their god for their brutality and win engagementsIt's not even close. It'd be a bloodbath in the name of Khorne
>>98498377Damn what a self report lmao.
>>98498379>>98498384leman lostyour ban evading and coping doesn't change that :)
>>98498385>anti-SWfag is a secondary That's just embarrassing, you get all your "lore" from 1d4chan?
>>98498385Neither of those were me you illiterate ape
>>98498364There's a somewhat loose comparison to be made in terms of the relationship between tech between the Empire and the Dwarfs and the Tau and the Imperium.>Dwarfs/Imperium have a lot of advanced tech, but are very slow to innovate, and their innovations are slow to be dispersed (in the Imperium's case because the tech-priest is hoarding it, in the Dwarf's case cause they just don't trust anything new)>Tau/Empire are starting from behind in the tech tree technically speaking, but they're innovating rapidly and are much more willing to try out new and even risky technology, and they're closing the gap and will eventually surpass their Imperium/Dwarf counterparts if things continue on like this long enough
>>98498390>>98498391permanent means permanent

>>98498395>immediate bogeyman after being called out for not even reading the book.
>>98498374Ah, so basically a 'minor crusade' is like saying a 'small nuclear bomb', it's still a fucking nuke and can't really be treated as a joke even if it's not as big as other nukes.
>>98498377If you actually read the book you would understand that Lorgar was explaining to Angron that while they're fighting the Ultramarines in their shadow crusade he can't throw away his men like he did to beat Russ.But you wouldn't know that since you haven't actually read the book and only get your info from AI summaries.
>>98498379>lorgar has a melty that means it must be true lmao
>>98498399>>98498401I've read betrayer, you admitted you got the cliffnotes off youtubestop projecting and stop ban evading decalnigger
This was a lot of words to begrudgingly admit that Angron won.
>>98498404You haven't, but that's okayAlso nice projection on the cliff notes. Read them more thoroughly next time :^)
>Angron dies>respawnsCan I farm him for loot?
>>98498401Wow someone with a functioning brain in this thread
>>98498209Where are they?
>>98498413Fuck off decalfag we aren't dunking on the secondary just for you.
>decalmutant throwing a fit over his furfag daddy losing to angron>AgainEvery single day
>mutie's one topic he knows anything about pops up>still fails at discussing it because he watched a plot synopsis on Jewtube
>>98498410look at how the tourist projects when he's upsetstay gone decalpedo>>98498413>>98498418permanent means permanent
>punching down on decalfag after getting utterly embarrassed LMAO.
>>98498419I wasn’t the one who brought it up you Johnny come lately scumbag
>>98498412>Finally get the Bloody Spear to drop from the Angron raid>Roll like shit and the cunt Howling Banshee who spent half the fight KO'd gets it insteadFUCK
>>98498423You can triple down on your thread bogeyman as much as you want. The whole conflict was dumb and admitted by ADB that he didn't know how to resolve it because he didn't want to piss off the fan bases.I'm merely making fun of you for not reading that gay ass book.
"The Imperium was right" factions:>Eldar>Drukhari"The Imperium was wrong" factions:>Necrons>Tau>VotannSo basically, the factions in the game that lean more towards magic instead of technology tend to make the Imperium out to be correct in its thinking, while the factions that lean more towards technology instead of magic tend to be the opposite...
>>98498432again with the projectionI own it, you don'tyou're seething after being proven wrong repeatedly
He's never like this about necrons. Thankfully.
>>98498444Trips of truth>>98498446You've been fortunate enough to miss the mutant's near-daily meltdowns of necron vs eldar tribalism I see
>>98498422bro sucks at literally EVERYTHINGHAHAHAAHAnot a single thing you can point to where you can say he’s actually good at it
>>98498444>projection>calling me the decalfag every post because you literally cannot fault my argument Rough, just read the book bro. Last (You).
>>98498450post your copy of betrayer, I did :)
>>98498446He probably doesn't read any of the lore. Notice how he stays quiet all thread and only pipes up about wolfaggotry? This is what I mean when I say he doesn't contribute shit to these threads, he doesn't know anything beyond his little furfaggot bubble.
>>98498446this but with orkswe just like to have a good time :D
>>98498422It's so fitting that the mutant seethes over the O&Tchad considering the latter also collects world eaters >>98494678
>>98498459The ironing of calling anyone a lorelet when you only know one (1) subfaction's lore
>>98498468and he doesn't even know it, he gets everything wrong constantly LMAO
>>98498448I've seen him sperg out about eldar before, but I guess I've never seen him fellate crons. Or I've just forgotten.Speaking of necrons what do you guys do with the spaces in between their "ribs?" I'm planning to do a lot of glow even though that is a bunch of extra work, but the 3e codex is one of my big inspos and they don't do anything and just leave it black. I might do those spaces in their metallic accent color instead.>>98498467Those look nice.
My bad for talking about space wolves I guess. Unapproachable topic here.
>>98498459I had a good chuckle irl, I must admit. because its hilarious seeing you are good at literally NOTHING. you suck at painting, suck at self regulating, suck at knowing the lore of the faction you “rep”, suck at not posting shitty movie gifs, suck at accepting bans, you just suck in every conceivable way. I can’t imagine what you’re like irl.
>>98498474Okay, talk about anything other than wolves for once. What's your favourite niche bit of cron lore, and tell us about the dynasty yours hail from? Do you have any factions other than marines and necrons?>modelsSure do lmao, don't get distracted I'm not letting you deflect with that
There was a lack of models posted ITT, can we fix that in the next thread please? xD
>>98498475Yea we have a few asylum dwellers here
>>98498477I forgot, you also suck at painting hellblasters HAHAHA. its coming up on a fucking year.
>>98498485>weyou're permabanned, you aren't one of us
>>98498481Do you think I am going to give in to your unhinged demands? How old are you ffs?
Is it just ratfag false flagging as decal man?
>>98498481Please don't give him a chance to autistically "rep" crons, they're my favorite faction.
>>98498486>in here day after day>still can't find the time to spend on his hellblastersActually ridiculous>>98498489So you know nothing about crons? I figured as much
>>98498490I don't care, man. Jannies please just ban whoever it is already. Every day with this shit.
>>98498499Quit bitching and contribute models to the thread
>>98498504Not that anon but can I see your models?
>>98498499literally had a month and a half of peace and quiet where the decalfag probably got his phone taken away from him. why is he back where he knows he’ll have to get bullied for as long as he’s here? who knows.
I think the thing I hate the most about the decalfag is that his ending bitching and meltdowns enable the other retard to continually ruin the thread.This general is fucked.
>>98498507I don't think he was ever truly gone, pretty sure he was just quietly lurking. There were occasional reddit-tier reaction pics/gifs being posted in that month and a half
>>98498510>constantly harassing others to post models>have no new/wip models to show yourselfWhy are you here?
>>98498413Leman still lost you fucking retard, Lorgar just had to explain to Angron that he can't use that kind of tactics since it's a war of attrition against the Ultramarines.
>>98498522Just drop the subject, it’s not going anywhere bitch.
>>98498513that would be crazy because he must have seen how much happier everyone was without him. constant shouting of joy how good the threads are without the lolcow there.
For some reason I expect more Khorne minions to vomit blood at enemies.
>>98498531He's a level of miserable roneryfag that he wouldn't think about it in that way. Rather he sees everyone having fun and wants in on the community, whilst doing zero work on himself to fit in or provide actually interesting and new content to share with the class
>>98498531I wasn’t here for a few months to let the worst minds hopefully die down and leave but it appears they’re here for the long haul.
>>98498533Khorne would want to keep that blood. Though now I too am wondering why nobody has a blood-pressure washer
>>98498360>all out>force that can revive vs one that cannothmmm, surely my knotted wolf dicks will save me
>>98498552You are PERMANENTLY banned you dumb niggerYou do not belong here no matter what you think
>>98498552Legitimate question, do you understand what permanent means? Like a tattoo, foreverial
>>98497929Dark eldar are evil by nature - thats their main part of theil lore - childrens or aduit - matters not
>>98498570Permanent means permanent you braindead nigger
>>98498552nigga, straight up leave. I and the other people who hate you are never going away. I personally gave you a second chance by making you promise to paint your hellblasters, stop posting shitty movie gifs, and stop replying to insults, and you haven’t done any of that. I would have straight up defended you to my dying breath if you actually changed, but you didn’t, you’re the same person who left a couple months before, so the “worst minds” are going to be the same people they were before.
>>98498570So why is it that you love to apply the modelposting rule to others, but not abide by board rules yourself?
>>98498568I think one of the recent books showed they basically start out as normal kids and either learn to constantly inflict suffering to survive or wither and die as others inflict suffering on them. Basically they aren't disposed towards evil but their genetic curse and society they grow up in forces them to be. No idea how the vatborn ones differ from the trueborn though. They might actually be born evil since they're juiced on pain before they're even born to fast grow them.
>>98498587Uh oh decalpedo melty
>>98498587Answer the question >>98498583
>>98498585>one of the recent books showed they basically start out as normal kids>mike brooksYou answer on your own question
>>98498519At least he had models, can't say the same for most of the posters ITT
>>98498587I’ll gladly shut up as soon as you fuck off. literally NO ONE likes you here, and I fucking hate you. you’re never waiting it out either. I love posting here, and I’m not leaving you’ll always be bullied by me, and several other posters here, while the remainder pray that you kill yourself.
>>98498613Ty
>>98498614You’re just an awful human being anon
Is it lazy that I'm thinking to use some pieces of sprueframe as sticks to run razorwire between?
>>98498624Nah that's perfectly fine.
>>98497823Pic related, it's Ynnari magic
>due for a new bread>only page 5Does the post count go down in a thread when posts get deleted?
What the most likely unit to get updated for each army?
>>98498629I'm currently cutting them square so that they could pass as wooden 6x6es. Once it's all down my collage project should be ready for priming.Should I prime the razorwire and then paint it silver with a beater brush, or hold off on sticking it to the base?
>wake up>still no codex roadmap
In some other news I got my speccy squad and they're fucking mint. I had a hunch it'd be a good box when I saw a comment about how there was enough lasrifles with stocks to equip the whole squad, and sure enough it's loaded with bitz. Each unique dude has three (3) official ways to build them in the manual, but ofc the arm joints are flat and universal anyhow so I'm going to have a bunch of fun making a couple squads of Tanith, possibly also some heavy weapon teams?>start looking at listbuilding>add what I have/intend to buy - couple squads of guard, scions (kasrkin) and deathwatch allies, couple taurox and halftraks, valkyrie, inquisitor, tempestus prime>even add Gaunt and co. since the minis are growing on me, might buy (or at least nab Gaunt second hand if I can and kitbash the rest)>apparently can't use my dreads and flagellants in 11th Imperial soup, sad>all this barely scratches 1k points, IG have really low points shit in general>probably going to have to shell out more $$$ than intended for some tanks/ogs/arty to get it up to 2kFUCK
>>98498636I honestly don't know. If you wanna really tryhard it I would paint the wire I guess.
>>98498641I don't think they do those anymore, kind of like love broadcasts. Both just generate them too much negativity.
>>98498649I'm gonna go for painting the wire, if for no other reason than avoiding fiddling around with it around stuff that's already been painted.
>>98498644Touching story anon where can I subscribe to your blog?
>>98498666I need to know when my codex is up
>>98498672Kek.I kinda want to paint that onto my palette for shits and giggles.
>>98498682Its only going to get worse gsc bro, this is our JUST edition
>>98498680I'm sorry if I interrupted your scheduled decalfag drama, thought the thread could do with some actual discussion. Carry on then, good chat.
>>98498644I didn’t even read your post because OH MY GOD WHAT ARE THOSE NAILS?
>>98498682I also don't know what to make of this artist's works, at first glance it looks baller ,but when you look at the finer details it's as if some generative AI is used. Look at the guys under the banner holding Neophyte. Same with the CSM's codex, the marine at the centre is amazing but the rest is eh.
>>98498623that’s it. I’m starting the tally marks back up.
>>98498699What, do you get pedicures zesty nigga? Show pics
>>98498694>guardfag thinks his shitpost is "discussion"XD
>>98498712>shitpostI gave some info about a very recently released box of dudes and opened the floor up to discuss about it/guard listbuildan. How is any of that shitposting? Feel free to post content you think is worthy of discussion at any time, or are you just going to keep attacking people who do?
>>98498631>endless
>>98498666They only really generate negativity because they always run into some kind of never before seen production line issue that fucks the release order. In 9th it was COVID, in 10th they never really said but I assume it was just lingering issues from COVID/issues with whatever Chinese sweatshop they do their print media from.
>>98498644nigger
>>98498634yes
>>98498319what is the point of this triangle thingy
>>98497861ehhhh it's because some amount of them are doing exactly that, to be honest.However, there is also a portion of legitimate fans, so you just have to remain openminded and not judge someone harshly before you know for sure, since the possibility of them being a real fan exists.I know several women who play, and they tend to have well painted armies and they tend to enjoy narrative play. In my experience women enjoy making theirdudes and painting just as much as we do.And for the record, there are plenty of men who are tertiary grifters too. It's not a man vs woman thing to be a real fan or a grifter, it's just how some people are.I also know several women into mtg and dnd, and it's mostly the same. For every cosplayer who can't even name the character they're cosplaying and didn't make the costume themselves, there's a nerdy girl who writes an entire backstory for her dnd character or makes a whole deck themed after Liliana or whatever character.Forget about the fake losers and just look out for the real fans, and be openminded. Just like you would be with guys.
Should I buy this 75mm harlequin mini
>>98498644Oh and also>missile launcher in kit>lmao no lawnchair in guard squad options>cadian squad can take a nade launcher>will have to do ig...>catachans can only take flamers???How is this shitshow of a game still alive
>>98498288>or a Space Marine fan who wants his army to die in droves like GuardsmenThis post was good up until this point, because Space Marine chapters do die in droves sometimes. Usually when fighting Tyranids.
>>98498766It holds the gun up when not in use so as to reduce stress on the internal mounting hardware.They're called travel locks. You can find pictures of ww2 and cold war tanks with them.Assume the artist saw one on a historical model or a real tank in a museum and didn't put 2 and 2 together that it would be taken off when the gun is in use.
>>98498766funny answer: its a bipod for the gunprobable answer: the artist saw a tank like pic related which has a lock for long distance drives in pacified zones, and thought those were taken to battle.
>>98498783>Assume the artist>>98498788>probable answer: the artistRemember that the Imperium is so tech-illiterate that you can explain this in-universe by saying the tank operators were just as clueless as the artist and didn't realize you're supposed to remove it.
i know nobody here actually plays the game and even if they did it would not be the 10th editionbut if you could choose one for your tabletop group what would it be
>>98498797>but if you could choose one for your tabletop group what would it beYou mean one edition?4th. But there's something secret on the way that will be better.
>>98498797The one I started playing in
>>98498796nah it's the artist
>>98498797>nobody here actually plays the gameI actually just got back from playing a game a little bit ago. I was waiting for a new bread to get baked before I posted anything, and the lighting in my LGS is kinda ass so I didn't get any amazing shots, but I did get a game in with my CSM against Grey Knights today.
>>98498806unpopular opinion but i liked the 6th edition
>>98498774The Cadian Recon Squad is what that box is meant to be played as, they get a rocket launcher as an option. The datasheets are meant to represent what the box is sold as.>catachans can only take flamers???Each guard unit from the 3 supported regiments has unique options. Krieg get Long-las in their battleline, Catachans can only bring flamers, Cadians are the middle ground with most everything.Krieg also has a unique heavy weapons squad, they can bring heavy flamers and heavy stubbers that the other 2 (which have the same options between themselves) don't have.Trim your cuticles.
>>98498796this is bad flanderization. people in the imperium may be backwards at times, but they’re still street smart, and know basic concepts like you can’t have your gun locked up in a fight. even if that happened, they’d still win a darwin award near instantly, and then be replaced by people who know to keep the lock off.
>>98498818>Grey KnightsDo you guys find that GK attract a certain type of player? The ones I run into all seem particularly spergy>>98498821That's actually when I started, kek
>>98498797I played the other week
>>98498797To tell you the truth anon I haven't played a single game of 11th yet despite it being being trivial for me to set one up I just haven't really been able to get myself to do it.
>>98498830I dunno, the GK player I went up against was pretty normal. Didn't seem off to me. This was my first game against this guy and GK in general and he didn't give off any sperg vibes.There were ruins in this spot for most of the game, we just took them off for one turn because it was a huge single solid building and we kept running into issues moving minis around/through it.
>>98498828The imperium is so broad it contains everything from super-competent geniuses to space somalians, anon. I'm sure you've heard the stories of the Africans who would dial the gun sights all the way up because they believed it made the rifle shoot harder. That's something that really happened in our recent Earth history. Now imagine a galaxy of ONE MILLION worlds and in at least a few places they are that fucking stupid.
>>98498833>lego russThat's really cute, damn.
>>98497730>>98497735Here. Pardon the rubbish nature. I suppose I can't prove it means anything but considering the current crisis suits were shown years in advance via a codex suoplement...
>>98498751Did you forget three major worldwide shipping disruptions that happened in the span of those 3 years?
>>98498826I get that, and traditionally yes missile launcher hasn't been an option for guard squads. I expected to run it counts as a nade launcher but would've been nice to have it properly represented by the rules.>Catachans can only bring flamersI still can't get over this. When in the lore did they suddenly unlearn how to carry and use the other support weapons? What an ass stupid fucking decision, not only are catachan players cucked by an ancient line of plastic models but they can no longer run any fucking special weaps other than flamer? Did they really think Scouting plasma/nades would be that OP? I'm particularly salty because deathworld vets were my OG army, and if I still had them in my possession I wouldn't even be able to run my old list in the new rules.>Krieg also has a unique heavy weapons squadI saw that too, absofuckinglutely ridiculous. Guard codex SHOULD always be set up as a generic list, and you apply regiment on top of that for some bonuses. Maybe a section for some limited regiment specific units like devils. But fucking weapon options should not be exclusive to regiment
>>98498830i like the flyers and super heavies as an optionits not balanced at all and you can do whatever you want with it but thats what makes it stupid good imho
Fucking hell do I hate using mini razor wire, and FUCKING HELL do I hate using superglue.I'll prime the cunts tomorrow.
>>98498864Some of the photos betray a seam down the middle which I've failed to captute
>>98498872
>>98498874Of course that wraithknight statue shows they're not totally against custom terrain...
>>98498870whats wrong with superglue
>>98498867>would've been nice to have it properly represented by the rulesIt is, for the Cadian Recon Squad. They're an 80 point unit available to guard that is very good in the current game if you know how they work.>When in the lore did they suddenly unlearn how to carry and use the other support weapons?Catachans are based on Predator, First Blood, and all that 80s/early 90s action movie goodness. Flamethrowers are a big part of that and thus are part of "the aesthetic." The current catachan jungle fighters box came out when the difference between guard units were still "whichever you think looks cool" instead of competitive balance. They didn't think about scouting with plasma, they just went on aesthetics.Fwiw, Krieg guardsmen get access to a long-las, besides having access to all the options that the Cadians get, so they're the most versatile right now. And that's not even mentioning that you can run Scions (who have next to no roster support) as battleline with Bridgehead Strike.The current guard roster isn't meant to be mono-regimental, you're supposed to mix-and-match; that's why there's so many little inconsistencies like these.>codex SHOULD always be set up as a generic list, and you apply regiment on top of that for some bonusesI described exactly this as my opinion on it a few threads ago. Let regiments be expressed in detachment bonuses with models being more standardized (and the roster being more consolidated because of it), but you can also play /yourdudes/ how you want instead of having Krieg artillery supporting Cadian HWS supporting Gaunt's Ghosts leading a Scion unit across the field.
>>98498862>Africans who would dial the gun sights all the way up because they believed it made the rifle shoot harder. see, that’s what I mean. in your imaginary example, they were retarded with technology, but it wasn’t obvious that it would lead to problems (as opposed to having your gun literally not able to move), and it wasn’t life threatening, so they were able to go about doing it. btw that shit didn’t happen, and its unironically a historical tertiary meme. pic related is where it comes from and he says he “read it somewhere” no works cited. you should also note that the bush war is deeply politicized because it has to do with rhodesia/zimbawe and all the mutual racist baggage it comes with, and also the 40K ork power of belief like red things go faster was becoming more popular around the time.
>>98498472>what do you guys do with the spaces in between their "ribs?"Iron warriors undercoat the whole body, follow up leadbelcher layer on only the raised or flat armour parts (so the rib indents and joints etc stay as the darker iron warriors shade) then nuln to finish it off.I've done the green glow in the ribs on some older models but I think it's a bit too much green, which lessens the overall effect by making the other green bits stand out less. I want to draw the eye to weapons and gems and details, not a flat ass ribcage.
>>98497712The exodite box was too big for its contents. The terrain in the book is obviously printed and designed in CAD and not the diy paper craft terrain they posted up in the article. Either a designer was fired or someone missed a deadline and they couldn't get the exodite terrain into the box so they cut it.
>>98497982I used to do this when I was a teenager and new to the hobby. I wonder if he's just underage and will grow out of it?
>>98498919>btw that shit didn’t happenYes it did, we have numerous examples from people who were there in places outside of 4chan.
>>98498926Oh, runefang silver highlights after the leadbelcher bit before the nuln, also.
>>98498914>They're an 80 point unit available to guardI figured the KT would have a datasheet but I didn't see it in the list builder. Guessing they're not battleline? Kind of useless to me if they're not.>Catachans are based on...Why are you still mansplaining this shit to me? I just said I started 40K with a catachan army negro, I was there when the texts were written. Catachans were always described as having an affinity for flamers yes, but they could take other options before. Nerfing them to JUST flamers was 100% some stupid balancing decision, don't try to excuse it with this weird vibes based "aesthetic" argument that holds no water. If they wanted catachans to onpy have flamers they would have introduced them into 40K like that, but they didn't, and it makes no logistical sense with how the guard works.
>>98498933>numerous examplesfirsthand accounts or a book compiling them, or through social media posts specifically made after 2/22/2017? if you’ve actually read a book on it, feel free to share.
>>98498797I play semi regularly, but it's always my same models on the same terrain, with a pretty limited roster of opposing armies. So I'm not going to inflict pictures of the exact same setup every few weeks on this thread, you'd all get such of looking at it over and over again.
>>98498931Why are you rehashing old thread wounds at this hour?
>>98498945do you miss the time with the green rods and cool models
>>98498985Nta but those green rods were atrocious
>>98498952>they're not battleline?No, that's what I've been saying this whole time. The Cadian Recon Squad is a special unit, all killteams are as far as I'm aware (Tempestus Aquilons, Celestian Insidiants, Ratlings, etc).>mansplainingYou asked a question that indicated either you weren't aware or were just being rhetorical, how am I supposed to know which is actually meant on a text-based forum?>stupid balancing decision5 Intercessors cost 5 points less than 10 guardsmen. You don't have to complain to me that GW makes stupid design decisions, I'm aware and I agree.But consider the other side, Catachans can bring 2 flamers in a 10-man squad where no one else can, and has +1 wounds on melee attacks after charging/being charged. Catachans are meant to be "in your face infantry," flamers fit that. Should they also get meltas? I'd say yes, but GW doesn't care enough to update the sprue or make a new upgrade sprue.This "in your face infantry" fits into that "mix all the units together" thing GW has clearly been pushing towards by putting a specific "role" onto each of the units. Krieg are the most "sit in the back," Cadians the middle ground, Catachans the up-front as I said.
>Abbadon uses Chaos but isn’t controlled by itWhat is Abbadon’s non-Chaos motivation to muster his armies and attack the Imperium? In the Heresy they were afraid that the newly formed base human Council of Terra would push the Space Marines out of the picture, but the Imperium as it became hasn’t really manifested this fear at all. It is not unusual for Space Marines to be worshipped and revered as Angels.
>>98498985I have a decent number of green rod models (20 man warrior brick, two destroyers, a monolith, two or three lords) so nah I'm not missing out. They're cool to have, but there really is a lot of finer detail on the new warriors. And the rods kind of lock you into a green scheme, which isn't a problem for me but sucked for guys who wanted to do different colours.
fucking guardfags ruining the thread with their walls of text again
>>98498385I dont even like space wolves but its clear lotgar was trying to explain to angron he lost tactically/ultimately even though it seemed like an immediate win
>>98498797probably some fucked up modification to 7th, backporting some newer models and factions. Changing some stuff I personally don't like (change coherency to 3 for bigger units etc)
>>98498996you mean they looked bad or they were difficult to work with>>98499006>the rods kind of lock you into a green schemeyeah thats propably the reason they got rid of themthese days everyone can print them in any color they want or buy them for next to nothing onlineold monolith is still better
>>98499016Oh no not walls of text of on-topic discussion! What will we do without a bunch of retarded trolling horseshit posts by faggots like you that don't even talk about 40k???
lorewise, a chapter that does lots of boarding actions and space combat shouldn't have many tanks and dreads right? How would it get their antitank on the tabletop?
>>98499042Nigga they're still space marines. They're still gonna have stockpiled equipment. Keep the tanks and dreads in storage and break em out on land.
>>98499042>a chapter that does lots of boarding actions and space combatThat's like all fucking Chapters bro, that's why they're called Space Marines, that's why half their organ implants are just shit to help them survive in space.
>>98499042Flyersdevastatorsthunderfire cannonsdreadnoughts are literally perfect for boarding actions and space combats are you retardedservo turrets
Lore was a mistake.
>>98499025>Old monolith is betterI believe it, but my own monolith was the first vehicle I painted and looks like ass, lol. It's fixable though, just gotta clean up the highlights and cover the decals in a few layers of something to stop them scratching off and cover up the reflectiveness. I'll get around to glowing it up one day.
>>98499042If your breaching pod is big enough you can put whatever you want in itAlso consider that part of boarding action is counter-boarding, meaning they want to have weapons on their own ships to counter their opponents attempting to do the same thing to them.
>>98499057Gayest and most retarded opinion ITT. Lore is 90% of why 40k is so successful.
>>98499057I have to deal with a lot of mistakes at work. It's tough working near a hospital for the metally disabled.
>>98499058its beautiful i get ptsd just by looking at itdo the new necrons come with any transfers btw
>>98499041uh oh guardfag melty
>>98498919you underestimate the stupidity of sub-saharan bantusyou think the things people say about them are hyperbole because you view them from the perspective of a westerner who has been insulated from the bottom 10% of the worldit is not hyperbole, they are truly just that dumb
Lore is a fantastic part of warhammer, and facilitates both banter and ragebaiting.
>>98499077Yeah I have acquired two transfer sheets since getting back into the hobby. One's from the combat patrol box, couldn't tell you where I got the other one.
>>98499087It's funny how often I jump between /40kg/ and /bag/ and get confused which thread I'm in

>>98499103it is by far the most dedicated cult following among otaku and otaku-adjacent circles like 4chanit just distills everything a weaboo desires into a single package
>>98499002>that's what I've been saying this whole timeNo, you've been waffling on overexplaining basic shit to an old guardhead. In any case I'm trying to make an army out of this KT box if it wasn't clear, I kinda need them to be battleline. The rules for running them do look good but doesn't help me fill a roster.>You asked a questionAnd you didn't read the fucking question properly lmao. I asked "when IN LORE did catachans unlearn how to use special weapons other than flamer" and you started waffling on about media inspiration and aesthetics. I was clearly being tongue in cheek and rhetorical. Just slow down kid, read the posts you're replying to and stop overexplaining shit.
>>98499069> Lore is 90% of why 40k is so successfulin my national home boards i havent been able to locate a single anon who plays the game in the last 10 years because all of them are lorefagsit used to be all about the hobby now its all about the lore because the game is gay and i have to come here and speak english with you foreign fags to get my fix
>>98499123I feel as though I've seen that sprite style in an Azur Lane minigame.
>>98499123Trinity girls my beloved...
>>98499124>overexplainingReread the entire conversation.You asked why a box that is for a specific unit had options for that specific unit, and not for a different unit. I answered by saying that the box is for a specific unit, to which you replied that it "would've been nice to have it properly represented by the rules." To which I then rebutted that it IS properly represented, on that specific unit that I had mentioned twice BY NAME before that point, but you STILL did not comprehend this information, so I said it a third time. How is it "overexplaining" when you showed me all the signs of just not computing the requisite information, so I keep restating it in different ways in hopes of you actually comprehending it, because it is the entire point I'm trying to get across?>waffling onBecause there isn't an "in lore" reason, meaning there has to be another justification. To some people, when they ask a question whose answer is some iteration of "no, but," they then go on to want to know what follows that "but." Others want to pre-empt that follow-up question.>clearly being tongue in cheekHow am I supposed to parse TONE through letters on my screen?Consider the universe outside of your own head does not perceive itself the way you perceive it, and therefore does not have all the preconceived notions in communication that you do.
>>98499215>You asked why a box that is for a specific unit had options for that specific unitYou're still not actually understanding what I was griping about, but go off king. Let me repeat yet again, I am trying to make an army here and looking at the battleline options, and finding it difficult to properly represent them. Catachans would have been perfect if not for the flamers only issue, and the non-battleline datasheet meant for that KT box is not fit for my purpose.The overexplaining came when you banged on about the differences between each squad option for two posts, and then tried to tell an oldhead about the origins of catachans.>Because there isn't an "in lore" reason>How am I supposed to parse TONE through letters on my screen?These two are linked I fear. The question was tongue in cheek and rhetorical because there is no in lore reason. Do you get it?
>>98499240>I am trying to make an army here and looking at the battleline optionsYou didn't say that until after my second time saying that the KT box is a Cadian Recon Squad.The third time, the time I said "what I've been saying this whole time," was an affirmation of this fact. I was saying that the unit was NOT a battleline unit the entire time.>banged on about the differences between each squad option for two postsSo I'm not allowed to talk about differences between guard units from different regiments, in a conversation about the differences between guard units from different regiments? Only you're allowed to do that?>tried to tell an oldhead about the origins of catachansYou expressed frustration at the fact current Catachans can only have flamers. I gave the justification (to the best of my understanding) for why they can only have flamers. You being an "oldhead" doesn't change anything about that.>Do you get it?No, because sometimes people ask questions like this seriously, or do so in bad faith to stir up a fight.
>>98499270Okay, chalk it up to a misunderstanding. It's clear this is going nowhere, both of us are too stubborn and think we were both clear in our communication while the other missed the mark.>So I'm not allowed to talk about differences between guard unitsYou can, but you outlined the differences in detail twice over, same info in two different posts. You really don't see how that's overexplaining?
>decided to paint an armageddon nob for the collage since he's got a bosspole with a couple marine heads on itWho's going on the pole?
>>98499312>same info in two different postsHonestly, I forgot I talked about the Krieg battleline guardsmen in the first one when I typed it out a second time, that's on me. I think I originally made a point about total roster discrepancy with Krieg Combat Engineers vs "no option for Cadians/Catachans for that role" in the first one and I reworked it instead of fully taking it out.
>>98499317Blood Angels would make the most sense.

>>98499346I’ve always assumed guardsmen are rollovers from basic bitch war games but I don’t have the data to support my claims

I got like 2500 pts of night lords to paint. how would you go about speed painting CSM? I was thinking airbrush dark blue, zenithal lighter blue, then add trim + leathers + metals and then do an all over wash of agrax, then add transfers. any tips? I see online everyone saying start with the gold first and fill in around the trim but i feel like going back and highlighting would be a pain in the dick.
