I want to get into 40k but have never painted anything in my life, any resources for the basics? what youtubers are the best for learning to paint miniatures?
>>98513380I've never met a right-winger that actually wants the Imperium. It's full of cities worse than Detroit for petes sakes.
>>98513334Right, that's why in 30k they kept the rhino the exact same size despite marines being bigger like in 40k.
>>98513395Duncan Rhodes has probably the most beginner-oriented channel on youtube.

>>98513415HH marines are considerably smaller than primaris, and it's a deliberately retro game for the niche audience that couldn't let go of how things were when they were kids.
>>98513422nigga even hh just got fucking massacred, sci-fi oldhammer dead once and for all as something gw supports with 3.0 now encumbentshit is a fucking atrocity
Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98513422>HH marines are considerably smaller than primarisHalf a head isn't considerably and it's the exact same scale as CSM and also the same base size. An accurate thino would be the size of a land raider and completely unplayable. It's just not gonna happen.>and it's a deliberately retro game for the niche audience that couldn't let go of how things were when they were kids.Retard.
>>98513422HH marines are still way bigger than the marines that released when the current rhino kit released
>>98513445good
>>98513448>and it's the exact same scale as CSMNo they aren'tThey're slightly shorter and their weapons heads power packs and hands are all smaller than CSM

Why do people sexualize the T'au when they look like this?
>>98513472ok retard
>>98513477>5'11">6'>5'11"
Do imperial agents have any anti tank options?
>>98513470You're blind then
Is the BA upgrade kit the only source of eviscerators for marines?
>>98513477Minicompare fails more than a fair shotgun.
>>98513490imagine actually getting your fetid panties in a twist over any of this holy fucking shit
>>98513478Hunans are just like that
>>98513490Anon that 1/10th of a millimetre difference is just the pose. There's not a tangible difference in scale.
Had my game vs. Blood Angels today, I lost it 92-95. I played very aggressive to table my opponent because things were running at me full speed, I killed most of his stuff but it wasn't enough. I maxed out primary but scored less in secondaries. I still feel good about being able to score 90+ points vs. a very elite army playing purge but I could have done better in the secondaries.

>>98513506ok retard
>>98513478Cause we're humans, we sexualize everything.
>>98513503I'm happy how the average board looks a million times nicer in 11th compared to 10th. Nice game anon.
>>98513503Also Sternguard is OP with rerolling everything. The real OP thing was the terminator captain with an enhancement straight up killing 3 aberrants via battleshock, I did not enjoy it because you just can't interact with it in any way.
>>98513398Okay hoser lemme stop you right thereDetroit being the worst city in america was true in 2010, but since 2016 Mayor Duggan has dramatically improved quality of life and rebuilt much of the city center, renovating stadiums and business district apartments to bring life back to the city resulting in some white millennials and indians moving to the burgeoning tech sector.The title of worst city probably goes to places like oakland, philly or baltimore now.
>>98513515It's 2026Why did they commission this hideous PS2 CGI-looking ass art?
>>98513465I can't tell the difference in size I'm sorry.
>Orks outnumber the Imperium and, and their Orkish ecosphere that follows them produces all the resources they need, while just by existing they'll regularly pump out mass amounts of Nobz that can reasonably stand toe-to-toe with Space Marines, with EVERY single Ork also being a warrior>The Necrons are just as numerous as the Imperium, and although mostly still asleep, every single of their former citizens is now a capable combat soldier, with their advanced technology largely eliminating most of the need for logistics, and their troops are far more durable than >The Tyranids are basically just travelling giant blobs of biomass that have near perfect recycling of their biomass, absorb whatever they consume including the genetic data of it, and have no need for logistics (including ironically the need to feed their travelling hordes of Tyrannids), and they can pump out monsters able to take out Space Marines less than a week using a fraction of the resources>Chaos actually does have the same logistical needs as the Imperium for the most part (at least for equipping mortal armies), but the chaos planets that actually equip these mortal armies are for all intents and purposes basically unassailable and thus safe from being targeted by the enemy>Even the Tau are able to mass-clone their soldiers, mass-produce their battlesuits, and the physical labor of their economy is largely automated so each Tau world is producing as much value as roughly 100 Imperium worlds combinedHonest question, how is the Imperium not just fucked in the long-term under these circumstances?
>>98513498this truescale retardation is why we have primaris
>>98513507Retarded article by a retard. Disregard and CHUD OUT.
>>98513528Because all of them fight each other as much as they fight the Imperium.
>>98513503You did pretty well all things considered. Great looking GSC too.
>>98513507>X was always leftist/wokeI've noticed that this is one of the two major tactics of the alleged people I dub "UN gatekeepers." The other thing they do is try to push anyone edgier or more right-leaning than them away from enjoying something funny on the grounds of "you don't understand that it's making fun of you."
>>98513532Nobody said anything about truescale, keep strawmanning
>>98513523Tbh I just hate cities in general so it's hard for me to make an accurate assessment, being cramped together with other people in the sidewalks feels like how roaches live.
>>98513503It's a points denial edition, can't just think about our own scores any more.
>>98513540It is lol its terrible
>>98513532The fact that CSM and 30k got scale fixed without all the retarded primaris changes proves this isn't true.
>>98513528orks>fight each other, and other factions, as much as they fight the imperium.necrons>fight each other, and other factions, as much as they fight the imperium.nids>one brain is beaten by many brainschaos>fight each other, and other factions, as much as they fight the imperium.tau>there are single sectors of imperial space with more systems/planets than all of the tau "empire"
>>98513547To be fair, the Imperium ALSO fights each other just as much if not more than they fight xenos
Am I blind or is there no Errata/FAQ PDF? Was it baked into 40k app instead? If yes, it sucks. I wanted to print myself bookmarks with errated text for the physical rulebook.
>>98513547>>there are single sectors of imperial space with more systems/planets than all of the tau "empire"The Tau Empire at the start of the third sphere expansion was nearly 100 settled systems.Name three sectors in the Imperium with one hundred settled systems.
>>98513549yeah but its a question of scale.>all of the chaos forgeworlds and knight worlds combined are less than just the forgeworlds in ultramar>for all of the silent king's power he's claimed an area of space roughly the size of the tau AND cawl can undo the piriah effect now
>>98513522Benefictus' unit used return to shadows three times to get sustained hits&ignores cover three times, in each activation they wiped out a key unit.>>98513542It's difficult playing vs. Purge as GSC, my stuff simply dies too quick and easy. I felt I can't play cagey as two units of terminators, 6 bladeguard + sanguinary priest and a landraider were just running at me. I shot with 2 units of 20 Neophytes immediately to weaken terminators & destroyed the land raider with them. Patriarch's unit ate Mephiston and a few more terminators but I just couldn't deal with them in the long run. I couldn't get near Sternguard's unit in time and they won him the game on his 5th round.
BIGBOUNCYBANSHEEBUTTS
Shouldn’t imperial knights be able to ally themselves with gsc
>>98513556The Ultramar sector is 500 planets. The Tau, IIRC, are at about 300 planets roughly right now (will be hard to make an accurate estimate until the 5th sphere expansion is actually done). Now that doesn't mean that Ultramar alone could take on the Tau since each Tau planet is far more efficient than Imperium planets, but technically there are sectors bigger than the Tau empire.
>>98513494halp pls
>>98513528>Honest question, how is the Imperium not just fucked in the long-term under these circumstances?It is fucked long term. Had been for millennia. 40k is about the last battles of the end of the galaxy.
>>98513573
>>98513567its actually mentioned in one of the knight codex that the machine's DNA sensor will detect and reject a potential pilot if it isn't wholly human.
>>98513571The 500 worlds aren't in a single sector. Kronus and Pavonis are sectors away from Macrrage despite being parts of the 500 worlds.
>>98513584Take it out.
>>98513581The more I look at the HH kits, the less reason I see to buy primaris models.
>>98513546there was some retard who was specifically asking for CSM to get primaris'd though because the CSM are slightly shorter than primaris.
>>98513571what's fun is that in Elemental Council towards the end one of the Ethereals lets slip that they're planning on invading ultramar in the near future.I kind of hope that does happen. Blue on Blue.
You may not like it. But he is the best hope for humanity. The one Chaos warrior not controlled by them with his own vision for humanity. Abaddon's and Chaos' goals only align until the Emperor is killed. After that his goals diverge from them.
>>98513604Would be interesting. My prediction is that the Tau will end up shaving some of the 500 worlds away, but fail to take Maccrage itself. "Partial success" for both sides.
>>98513603I think primaris being even taller than CSM is absolutely retarded but CSM are fine as they are, it's primaris who should be changed.
>>98513607
Why exactly are the Necrons against the Tyranids or Chaos wiping out all living beings in the galaxy? That sounds like the perfect thing for them, Chaos and Tyranids avoid them because they are not living, they take out all the enemies of the Necrons, then the entire galaxy is all theirs for the taking.
>>98513592I only buy 30k models for my 40k army nowadays.
I like orks :D
They need to release a Tau Kill Team that comes with 10 different species. Like imagine if we got a Kill Team that comes with a Tau character, Vespid, Kroot, Gue'va and 6 other minor races (like Tarelians and Galgs)
>>98513581those are the worst eviscerator designs
>>98513623How so?
>>98513607and you think the chaos gods would just let him go to do his own thing afterwards? lol
>>98513611Farsight vs Guilliman is one of my favorite match ups since its the Codex vs the Mirror Codex. Its perfect. it'd also be kino if Guilliman realizes that the one who knows his codex the best is an alien.
>>98513607>dude lets all just be slaves to the chaos godsyeah nah I'm good
>>985136161) There's no guarantee Chaos and the Tyranids won't still turn on them when they're finished with the rest of the galaxy2) A bunch of the current ruling necrons would actually like to return to living bodies and need a host-species to do so for biotransferrence3) Some necrons actually like having living subjects to rule over
>>98513618What units are you able to make firstborn proxies for out of the HH boxes?
>>98513623There's a few variations depending on the armour mark. >>98513592I get them from chang
>>98513631Yes? They don't control him. At worst, they can strip him of their power, but they are too paranoid to do that since they know that whoever claims Abaddon will win the Great Game of Chaos.
>>98513581>2 eviscerators only
>$160 USD+tax+tipI don't need it... I don't need it... I don't need it...
>>98513635Abaddon isn't a slave to them and nor is his vision if he won for humanity to be just slaves of the chaos gods. He was disappointed in how Horus became nothing more than a Puppet of the Chaos gods and swore he wouldn't become one. And which is why he is determined to be independent of the Chaos gods.
>>98513528>Honest question, how is the Imperium not just fucked in the long-term under these circumstances?That's the whole point, it's fucked.
>>98513637Anything that isn't gravis.
>>98513629the ugly half measure between the full chainsaw blade swords and the classic shrouded chainsword
>>98513659Anything?
>>98513622>kill team with 4 aliens- a Kroot pathfinder, a Vespid pathfinder, a Gue'vesa pathfinder and a Nicasser psyker/pathfinder, a tau commander in a battlesuit and 3 dronesCost of the kill team is 88 dollars, within Kill Team: Pirate Mercenaries bundle box you get a dossier that has a throwaway page about using coke cans to make tau generators or something. The opposing team will be Ork Freebootaz OH YOU WANTED DRUKHARI MERCENARIES LIKE A PLASTIC SSLYTH HAHAHA WELL TOO BADThey will consider making a Vorg NPO, or a Knarloc NPO, but they will ultimately not do so.>Young Galgs produce an oily secretion that is drunk by the Dark Eldar, giving an invigorating effect and occasional hallucinations. This will be mentioned in a future line about the dark eldar again, but nothing will come of it.
>>98513607he's just another slave to darkness deluded by the same exact trick Chaos used on the Emperor. Abaddon's Crimson Path is a direct parallel to the Emperor's Golden Path and both lead to the same result, Chaos wins.>>98513650>Abaddon isn't a slave to themDon't drink the koolaid bub>He was disappointed in how Horus became nothing more than a Puppet of the Chaos gods and swore he wouldn't become one. He did a fine job avoiding that fate by becoming a puppet of the Chaos Gods. The more he drinks Chaos's power the same way Horus did, the faster he loses his personal agency as a person.>And which is why he is determined to be independent of the Chaos gods.Yeah, about that... he gladly wields their power. He's already ensnared just like Horus was.
>>98513664Problem with gravis is that their stats are retarded. More toughness than terminators, 40mm bases. Using 30k terminator armour like tartaros is weird because it feels a lot heavier than gravis but using regular power armour feels tiny. Also most of the gravis weapons simply don't exist.
In the lore of 40k, when you make a deal with the dark gods they replace a part of your soul with theirs, and over time them ore power you accumulate the more of your soul they take as compensation until you are a slave to darknessThere are 4 beings who have made a deal with all four gods in exchange for their soul, becoming their Champion among mortals- Be'lakor (who became a daemon prince), Abaddon, Horus and the emperor himself
>>98513650>Abaddon isn't a slave to them
>>98513677>implying the Emperor is a slave to ChaosYou will burn for this heresy.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98513581I don't like how any of these melee weapons look.The axes and maces are retardedly big for no reason.The chainswords look bad and lumpy dildos with spikes. It's like some legally distinct 3rd party shit you'd find on a 3D print site.The guns are alright I guess, but i'm not a fan of the heresy style flamers and plasmas, the bolt pistols are cool though.

>>98513743because geneseed is stored in the balls
>>98513743You bored huh?
>deleteddamn, mods didn’t want any of that shit huh.
>>98513754permanent means permanent
>>98513584That's not what happened. What happened was that a pilot had been brood brother'd: i.e. hypnotized and implanted with the kiss. They attempted to pilot their Knight and the Throne Mechanicum purged the hypnotic conditioning when the connection with the Throne was made because it recognized there was a change in the brainwave patterns compared to what it had stored.That sounds like a technicality to you, but it is important because to me it says that the TM could potentially be vulnerable to a 4th generation hybrid bonding with it. The hypnotized pilot failed because the TM had a frame of reference that it could compare to for that individual, but if a Knight House was infiltrated and sired hybrid heirs who then bonded with their Knights TM, that's the only frame of reference they have for those individuals.That said it's a scenario very unlikely to even happen, as a cult attempting such an infiltration wouldn't know to expect an implanted pilot to end up betraying their presence inadvertently like it did, so such cults will probably just die in infancy every time.
>>98513646>ten dollars worth of resin at most

>>98513716>>98513645Just start googling >2 handed chain sword stls and you'll get a bunch of options.
>>98513743Autists, even if they are only midly autistic, hate change and tend to throw a fit no matter how benign and meaningless a change is.Sometimes people just get triggered and mad because you don't care about the thing they care about.
What's the best assassin unit right now?
>>98513811by virtue of rule of cool and how far it will take you, the one you just posted
>>98513811They're all pretty terrible in current rules but the Vindicare is the only one that can actually do their job since they have guns and every other assassin is melee focused and gets deleted in a single turn before they can charge
GSC infiltrating knight houses is lame and that's why it shouldn't happen.What GSC actually need are-a cult limousine with guns for ascendant cults/when I don't want to play as grunts who steal construction equipment to fight-a Greater Broodlord (Brood Tyrant?). I'm talking like a bigger, fatter patriarch with some kinda big age of sigmar base with a fucking throne.
>>98513707Everyone's a slave to Chaos, dude, even Chaos can't escape its own nature.
>>98513819Shouldn't Callidus get some kind of camoflage that lets them disguise as one of the enemy troops to deploy in the back or something? And it feels like Eversor should have some kind of REEEEEEEEEEEEEE power to just tank the initial shots and then run across the field or somethingAnd culexus, at least, should be extremely effective against GK/TS/DAEMONS/ELDAR/DARK ELDAR
The Trazyn novel is out now.I am reading it.We got some new lore.Turns out the Maelstrom Warpstorm has existed since the Necrontyr had flesh.How is that possible? Wasn't the Warp calm back then?
>>98513858It doesn't matter.
>>98513803Kill yourself.
>>98513851>Shouldn't Callidus get some kind of camoflage that lets them disguise as one of the enemy troops to deploy in the back or something? And it feels like Eversor should have some kind of REEEEEEEEEEEEEE power to just tank the initial shots and then run across the field or somethingYou can give them as many special rules as you want, but the core problem is the same: they're independent characters that can't be attached to a unit of disposable meatbags to keep them alive for more than one shooting phase. They're overcosted for what they can do, aren't actually that good at what they're supposed to be good at, and die to a stiff breeze. They just don't fit into 10th or 11th very well at all.>And culexus, at least, should be extremely effective against GK/TS/DAEMONS/ELDAR/DARK ELDARThey used to be actually valuable when there was a psychic phase for them to do their one specialty.
>>98513858We also know from a Trazyn short story that the Crons created the Eye of Terror 65 million years ago when they shattered the C'tan, and then swept the damage to reality under the rug with the Cadian pylon network. And the Great Rift was another fault line in reality caused by the shattering of the C'tan, too. So basically everything is actually the Necrons' fault all along.
>>98513734do you think it’ll come with a rereleased version of the octarius terrain? it would be really orky if they releases that you know.
>>98513778OH! as a proud phoneposting retard who likes to post madia related reaction images. I resent that accusation!
whatever you say paulie lmfao
>>98513904Hope they bring back the Mekboy Workshop terrain too.
>>98513616Necrons want humans so that they can reverse Transference. But it won't work because they lack souls.Tyranids want to consoom everything. Chaos is a tumor growing under the fabric of reality. It doesn't just kill mortals, it distorts all physical mass.
You have to choose one planet in 40k to be born on, but it has to be a planet with humans on it, you have to be a human, and you'll be an average human on that planet, so no choosing to be one of the nobility on a pleasure world.Which planet do you choose?
>>98513948i could be a mafia boss in necromunda frfr

So basically everything is actually the Necrons' fault all along.Do you mean>redditzyn and the newcrons claim/believe this is trueor>it is explicitly stated from an objective perspective this is trueEither way, any fluff I personally dislike is non-canon so its irrelevant
I don't have many models but all the imperial agents stuff looks so cool and unique I want to build an army for it
>>98513964>You get one half of a stormbolter, not even the whole thing
>>98513789that's what bothers me, these greedy bastards need to realize that 3D printing exists and if they don't want to go out of business they need to come down on the absurd fucking prices a bit
>>98513904this is too much work for james but he will direct you in the dossier to buy the New Armageddon Terrain to really make the battle stand out, since I assume the 'theme' is that it's a battlefield on armageddon and the space marines are losing and the blood angels dreadnaught has been downed, but then the Legion appears to bail the space marines out
>>98513980it's a sawed-off :^)
>>98513863God I wish it was 2016 again. Smuggies are timeless art.
>>98513964I can’t take those bare heads seriously. the rest of the teeth aren’t pronounced enough, so it looks they’re missing teeth. the black dude on the right looks straight up like a baby.
>>98513979you will get a bunch of posters telling you it's an unfinished army of random kill teams and single characters bagged together because GW isn't creative enough to come up with an idea but ultimately it's your decision. Though there's only one other guy in thsi thread who plays them and has a diorama of all the screaming fanatics presided over by an assassin and the inquisitor.
>>98514003its a fake army as long as Inquisitorial Scions/Stormtroopers are not battleline for it.
>>98514004now the thing isScions are already part of the ScholaSo aren't they technically ALL inquisitorial and the only distinction is whether an inquisitor is currently commanding them?
>>98514003I think the real thing to worry about for the army is that there's no guarantee GW will continue to support them. Hell they didn't even bother to make any new detachments for them going into 11th.
>>98513863That image response is so fucking good for shutting down those kinds of insufferable FAGGOTS, thank you so much for posting it.
>>98513984based Frenchie
>>98514013many such faggots
>>98513971The latter.But anon was wrong about the Eye of Terror. The Bleeding Stars short story says that the Old Ones created it
>>98513478Youtube loreletd that just think Tau are quirky blue humans with hooves.
>>98514043>Tau are quirky blue humans with hoovesthey pretty much are that+autism
>>98514043this existed before youtube loretubers and before you were born tourist-kun
>>98514005>GW moves all Tempestus units (command squad, Scions, Aquilons, Taurox Prime) from guard to Agents, delete Bridgehead Strike from the guard detachment list>makes a new Agents detachment specializing in Scions>retains the "only Tempestus units can enter the Taurox Prime" rule>new detachment allows any characters/leaders to get the Tempestus keywordWould this fix Agents, or would they still be a non-faction now needing more Tempestus units?
>>98514043I recently watched some of these "lore shorts" out of curiousity and holy shit it's grim out there. The worst part is the commenters actually consider themselves knowledgeable
>>98514043I wouldn’t call tau as blue humans rather than blue Indians.
>>98514061it would make the guard less of a confused mess of 5 different 'armies'/regiments.
>>98514078keep trying to force this meme bro it's only been 18 months I'm sure it'll stick any day now
>>98514078Explain. I'm curious.
NEWCRONS
>>98513982one day maybefor now photoresin is a bit much for your average average layman to really work with effectively. shit's a mess especially if you're conscientious about not putting uncured stuff into a landfull for mother earth's sake ;A;a machine capable of basically automating a good deal of the process seems a ways off but i could be wrong, and it could very probably be doneFDMs are getting close to retard-proof tho and with an order of magnitude or thereabouts of escalation in their resolution and such maybe they could one day do it as passably as an SLAif one's a sandpaper wizard you could get away with a lot of coarser fdm shit even now i'd think
>>98514094Oldcrons.
>thinking of a name for my chapter>can only thing of edgy stuffaaaaaaaa
>>98514091Not that poster but I would assume it has something to do with their caste system being analogous to the caste system in Hindu religion.
>>98514102Use the edgy stuff.
>>98514097newcrons are one of the worst fates to have befallen a faction in this game as of yet oh my god what ruination, so much more excellent as this far darker and more occulted thing they once were fuck how sad
>>98514102How about the hiverstein rapists?
>>98513489in addition to the couple things people mentioned, Navy breachers have a demolition charge, and they also have a unique use of the grenades strategem with long range.So no, not really. It's one of the drawbacks of the faction. Alongside having no detachment options lol. Some of the allied knights have good anti tank weapons though.
>>98514105But the Tau's caste system is based off the greeks
>>98514102give a quick rundown on their lore. maybe we can cook something up for you.
>>98514115The Greek elements yes but the rules about only breeding within their castes is much more like the Hindu.
>>98514105It's nothing like india's caste systemIt's like japan's and greece's>>98514120wrong again
>>98514120I mean that's in the Greek system too, in fact Plato's Republic had a whole eugenics caste system, with children being raised communally by the state and prevented from interbreeding
>>98514130In Plato's Republic only the warrior class collectively raises children.
>>98514096>especially if you're conscientious about not putting uncured stuff into a landfull for mother earth's sakeYou know what I'm gonna do?I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertibleHot pink with whale skin hubcapsAnd all leather cow interiorAnd big brown baby seal eyes for head lights (Yeah)And I'm gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hourGettin' one mile per gallonSucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald'sIn the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containersAnd when I'm done sucking down those greaseball burgersI'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flagAnd then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the sideAnd there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about itYou know why?

>>98514123The T'au Empire's caste system in Warhammer 40,000 is most similar to ancient India's historic Vedic varna system, though with strong parallels to feudal East Asian social strata (such as ancient China's Zhou Dynasty or Edo-period Japan).
>>98514094>>98514097they're the same picture
>>98514102it's grimdark, it's meant to be edgy
>>98514138Cool chatGPT post doesn't change anythingKill yourself slopper
>I went in for my local GWs anniversary and thst sweet autarch. They had one last box on the shelf. They came home wifh me. Im building them as dragon knights and i have stls to print the clan blade and stone seer.random youtube comment on the latest kill team. Why would you buy the GW plastic if you can just print 2/3 of the team off?
Is it even worth using the ranged special weapons in Legionaries? Their unit ability really seems to want to push them as a melee unit, but a lascannon for free in a battleline unit is VERY temptingAre they even worth it vs. Red Corsair Raiders?Yes I am the same "completely new to CSM" poster, I'm planning out a roster before spending money. Please be patient, I have guard autism so I don't know how to build a marine roster (of any kind).
>>98514112Technically the post-Silent King return is NUcrons, with newcrons being the 5th edition do-over. I don't know why they brought the SK back he adds nothing and was better as a background deus ex Eldritch horror.
>>98514153
Are Agents of the Imperium actually good as an army? I was just looking through random data sheets and they look mostly solid? Models for most units are amazing too.
>>98514156I'm so fucking mad they brought szarekh back instead of keeping imotekh as the big cool guy of necrons. Space settra is way cooler.
>>98514161They are not that good. Some people think GW is going to stop supporting them and fold them into other codexes.
>>98514152because you don't have to deal with fumes, chemicals, cleaning, curing, slicing, print failures and PPE when buying a model off the shelfi like 3d printing but the convenience of just buying a plastic kit is worth it for a lot of people
>>98514107Edgy stuff almost always sounds cheap>>98514116They come from a feral world with some tribes and a few kingdoms, something like Conan. The world isn't a death world but has lots of big and dangerous beasts. They specialize in massed melee infantry and shock assaults with ranged support. Sergeants and other officers use eviscerators instead of power fists as their main weapon so that weapon is kinda tied to seniority. Still thinking about what chapter they're successors of.
>>98514160the chaos vehicle accessory sprue is SOVL and I will mourn its passing
>>98514165I can understand folding them, but I'm just comparing some units to my Eldar list and I keep going "Fuck it'd be nice to have that or that" or "Yeah that's just straight better for the same job and points cost". I'm guessing the army rules aren't great, will have to see.
>>98514183From my limited anecdotal experience they tend to not have good vehicle support and vehicles are way better than infantry in general.
>>98514120>>98514130Oh boy, buckle up. So, the Tau are a direct rip off of the Fading Suns Vau from the old Holestic Games 4x strat game from the 90s that got its own white qwolf style ttrpg. They're the high tech orientalist foil to the space human holy roman empire. They have the same physical appearance, slit noses, hoofed feet and cultural history of ancient tribal violnce overcome by enlightened special Vau. They have the same high tech energy weapons and many client races of other aliens scattered through their empire and a unified ideological model of harmony and oneness. Now the Vau have 3 casts, the didn't bother making merchants and pilots because its a bit lame honestly but whatever. Its quite likely that was inspired by the Republic. The guys making Fading Suns were pretentious pseudo philosophy oriented like that. So when GW decided to rip off the Vau and make them the totally legally distinct Tau, they added in that hip mecha thing all the kids were into, and because the chinese elemental system is very lame sounding to westerners with dumb shit like >wood as an element, they had to change it to something cooler. Like the similarly popular legend of the five rings game's weeb elements. The Ethereal are Void. I don't want to spam the 40k thread with ancient off topic ttrpg books, but that's where they're from. Go look up War In The Heaves: Hegemony, its got a full breakdown of Vau society.
Fuck it. For sure my next army is Imperial Agents after I finish my elves. There too much sovl in the rules and models.
>>98514160I'm doing them as renegade marines if so, so no skulls or spiky bits unless I HAVE to.They're just too "on the nose edgy" to me. Yes I know, that's the point; I don't care.I still haven't really decided yet beyond "not playing loyalists," I might say fuck it and go Alpha Legion and just use HH models for most of my units
>>98514174so you're saying it's a bad idea to get a printer and like with all other "miracle advice" on 4chan it's just posted by people who are either religious about it or retards who don't know anything about it but like the idea.
>>98514138India's caste system was horizontal though, the Tau's caste system is, outside of the Etherals, vertical, with all castes (and auxillaries) being equals under the Ethereals.
>>98514203I had heard the tower ripped off but I never had it explained. GW are the biggest fucking hypocrites when it comes to the tyrannical way they manage their IP.
>>98514211don't reply to a guy posting literal AI hallucinations
>>98514215>TowerMy speech to text software sucks.
>>98514211>with all castes (and auxillaries) being equals What in the actual fuck are you reading? Is it some shit off of ao3?
>>98514227Okay then, what, according to YOUR headcanon, is the order it goes it? Is the fire caste above the water caste? Is the air caste below the earth caste? Please show us any sources saying that the castes aren't equal to each other.
>>98514227>He says while posting literal AI fanfiction
>>98514207Renegades that aren't chaos like Relictors also exist
>>98514205On the contrary, there's not enough. Where the hell did crusaders and arco flagellants go, also?
In the older editions, "renegade" space marines were usually on the run and eventually forced either into the service of pocket empires usually ruled by chaos adjacent lords like Huron or just killed, but in the nulore it should actually feature more Breakaway realms like the Severan DOminate or Ashen claws of Atargatis simply because the imperium can't easily police the dark imperium and many of them are better off seceding to run their own little empire.
>>98514215Its one of the more direct pulls rather than homage to things like 2000AD. It happened while Holistic Designs was having problems around 2000, who were small potatoes anyway and doubt had the legal to peruse it with GW's rising star at the time. They made them blue instead of orangeish. Changed a letter. There was already notable overlap between Fading Suns and 40K but it was largely different enough takes on a similar broad concept.
>>98514211>India's caste system was horizontalwhat the fuck are you talking about?
>>98514254See >>98514233, the 'bars' are arranged horizontally in india's caste system, the only way to go up is to be a different caste, and none of the castes are equal with each other.
>>98514258would that not make them vertical and the tau example horizontal
>>98514264You could say that, they're 'stacked' vertically in India's system you could say, but they 'lay' horizontally on top of each other. I could have worded that better but now that you have the picture you see what I mean.
>>98514258>the 'bars' are arranged horizontally in india's caste systemthe bars in that chart are arranged vertically, you unfathomable turbonigger
>>98514268lmao this is some amazing cope. Hierarchies are refereed to as vertical. A horizontal or flat is in reference to the values of the various casts, not that they have sides when you draw them as a square.
>>98514271>>98514277>tau=indianfag BTFO'd>starts seething going ERM ACKSHUALLY lmao
Thoughts on my list, xisters?
>>98514283I wish I knew how to read
>>98514281They're not indian cast based, but vertical means moving up and down, not the side the faces are on you retard.
The caste isn’t even the reason why people think tau are Indian, it’s because of the cannibals, and the bugs, and the cows.
>>98514211you know, just because the tau caste system is not a perfect copy of the Indian one does not mean the tau one didn't take inspiration from the indian one.
Tau are american anyways
>>98514322it didn't, everything the designers have said is they're based on NATO and japan, keep coping
>>98514283Where are your armigers? Having so few models your board control isn't going to be very good. I guess it'll depend on the disposition of your opponent how effective you're going to be at scoring primaries. I'm still learning about the different combinations of dispositions between player 1 and player 2.
>>98514323>le gav thorpe NATO naming convention 5 years after Tau were released
>>98514203>>98514248I have seen so many discussion and arguements about the Tau being the halo alien enemies, being indian because they use the term caste, being chinese, greek, japanese, Space NATO, a fucking Marathon reference. Never has anyone else ever mentioned 'Vau' or the Fading Suns. Its such a clear fucking 1 to 1 use of design for the eterhals and how their soceity works. GW did create the fire warrior design at least (I hope). Fuck even their obnoxius naming scheme comes from this.Fucking hell how has fucking no one ever bought up this? Is is that niche most hardcore 40k guys have simply never heard of it?
>>98514324who are the necrons based off of
>>98514332>Western war correspondent style story the month they are releasedNah, you're an idiot.
>>98514325It's more fun to just kill shit instead of doing objectives
i've arrived at a terrible impasse where i can't decide whether to season and base my tau as though they were in some sort of crazy psychedelic alien cherry meadow or instead being exposed to blasted-to-shit desert fuckhell for a fair while vior'la, so red and white and black and greyi really like brutalized paintjobs, trying to come to some happy medium maybegoing heavy on OSL emanating from plants and shit at the canopy floor could be cool enough to tip things back
>>98514341They're just the Tomb Kings from WHFB except robots
>>98514348I was leaning towards the sand blasted desert look until you mentioned you'd do the osl....
>>98514346I know guys who used to think that way but it leads to burnout as every new battle eventually ends up mirroring the last. The introduction of objective markers and playing for objective points is the only thing that kept my group going through 6th and 7th.
>>98513395Every weekday afternoon Monument Hobbies (makers of Pro Acryl paint,) has a stream on just about every platform with great painting tips from experts.
>>98514346>It's more fun to just kill shit instead of doing objectivesBased!
>>98514356it's a really compelling thought for me and would be a novel angle as opposed to the other, which i'm exploring with other stuff already but just love fr
>>98514361More like boring. Back in 4th everyone just played meatgrinder and it made every single match against the same opponent identical. Everything was just gun lines hiding in cover blasting each other across the board back and forth with no real reason to maneuver.
>>98514382This. Until the game started being based around scoring objectives there was no real reason to take risks and staying in the parking lot was King.
>>98514420Don't forget that every tyranid list was genestealer spam built around a 2nd turn charge.
>>98514450Objectives didn't help much when WE were building lists for turn 1 charges and stomping their opponents in 9th
What the Tau really need is a Patlabor-style 80's anime that's in love with depicting high-tech new machinery.
>>98514457Tau mechs are so ugly I just can't like them
>>98514454That's only because they were stupid and reduced the board size. If 4x6 was still the standard you wouldn't be seeing nearly as many 1st turn charged.
>>98514459YOU'RE ugly
Gimme fusion blades
>>98514474No.
>>98514463I genuinely don't understand why they lowered the board size. My best gas is so that it would make the game play faster.
Are land speeders basically just Space Marine attack Helos?
>>98514481Meanie
>>98514382>Back in 4th everyone just played meatgrinderAlmost no one was playing Meat Grinder in 4th, it was one of the special missions that had destroyed units return from the dead. The main core mission of 4th was Cleanse which was about capturing table quarters which required players to maneuver. You don't know what you're talking about.>>98514450Most Tyranid lists in 4th at least competitively were Nidzilla with two Tyrants and 6 Carnifexes. Again another poster who doesn't know what they are talking about.
>>98514348What color you want your tau?blasted hellscape
>>98514486>I genuinely don't understand why they lowered the board sizeTournament faggotry, they wanted to be able to pack more tables into the event venues. Shaving off a whole foot of width makes a big difference when you've got hundreds of tables in one room, that's hundreds of feet you just saved to add more tables. Tourneyfags literally ruin fucking everything.
>>98514490Meatgrinder and patrol is all that anyone ever played in 4th. It was a foregone conclusion that you were playing meat grinder if you went in for a pickup game. Fuck right off I've been playing this game for 20 years I know what I'm talking about.
>>98514493>>98514490Have you children considered that you had completely different local metas? In 2006 the online tournament meta barely existed.
>>98514493And I've been playing for 28 and you are a fucking retard or you had an LGS full of retards. Again Meat Grinder wasn't even a standard mission, it was one of the special battle missions in a separate section of the book, it didn't even use the fucking normal FoC, it had Sustained Attack rules and I highly fucking doubt that's what you played. I played at multiple LGS, including one of the fucking biggest ones in the entire region, and I would follow players who posted battle reports on forums nearly every week, and almost everyone at that time was playing Cleanse, most competitive discussion was around table quarters as the major objectives.
>>98514499
>>98514486Fat people cannot reach far. In tournaments you have tables end to end, so players would have to walk down a bunch of tables just to turn around and walk all the way back to reach the other side. Tournyfags literally ruin fucking everything.
Total fatoid death
>>98514492I can understand wanting to play competitively but not enough that I would fly out to a GT and drop $1000 between flights, food and hotels. And then when playing you're rushed because of a time limit and you can't even have a few pints while playing.
>>98514523God I didn't even consider this aspect of it. I am filled with so much disgust and rage at tourneyfatties.
>>98513616In addition to what the others said, Nids shit up the place with spawning pools everywhere - not very conducive to building your expansive cool Egyptian temple world - and Chaos will either destroy the whole galaxy or fill it with mortals under their control, also shitting up the placeChaos Space Marines also are human supremacists generally and hate Necrons, or want their tech Crons also want to be living again at some point, and that would make them vulnerable to NidsOnly a minority of Crons (the Destroyer Cult) wants all life killed off.
>>98514541I wouldn't even want to play competitively to begin with. On the other hand, the one good aspect of tournaments is getting to meet a bunch of other 40k fans (although ideally you go to something like a narrative event instead which is even better), so I understand making the trip, but it's not for the shitty tourney games.
>>98514544>Nids shit up the place with spawning pools everywhereThat is not how nids work at all, dude. They aren't Zerg. They completely strip planets bare until they are airless chalky dusty rocks with absolutely nothing on them. The spawning is primarily done aboard the Hive Ships.
>>98513982These greedy steel companies need to realize plywood exists and they need to come down if they don’t want to go out of business.
Armies for this vibe?
>>98514542Just yesterday I had a modern 40k player tell me in full honesty that if you don't put your model on an included tactical rock that you are modeling for advantage and cheating, and that the base is in-fact part of the model. It started because I was asking if logan was bigger than a regular terminator, and he could not grasp that I was talking about logan himself, not the fucking rock he was standing on. At this point the tourney brainrot is just too deep I think.
>>98514579some are calling it the worst analogy of all time

>>98514592>if you don't put your model on an included tactical rock that you are modeling for advantage and cheating"Cry about it, fatty."
>>98514156It’s something they’ll do with every new faction. They make the models, churn out the fiction, retards who only read baby books then “identify,” with a faction as one of its “fans.” Then these “people,” demand more plot and more characters be brought into the game and lore, and completely demystify everything. That’s why all the primarchs are coming back, we’ll have an Avatar of the Norn Queen model, and Votann golems or something eventually. People can’t just enjoy something, they want it resolved.
>>98514611its been joked about a lot, but I think we have our first confirmed case on /40kg/ of someone needing to buy an ad.at least make it interesting by making it ork related
>>98514620>People can’t just enjoy something, they want it resolved.it's called the completion principle and it's a perfectly normal and healthy aspect of the human condition
>The Wicked and the Warped audiobook has the same narrator as The Infinite and the DivineOh fuck yes, kino inbound
>>98514338The Tau being a straight crib of the Vau is far less common knowledge just because people don't usually care about the aliens, they care about the mechs. But every faction in 40k is a very shameless ripoff of something else. The Imperium comes straight outta Dune, Chaos is the Dark Side of the Force on steroids, Arbites are Judge Dredd, Sisters of Silence are the Bene Gesserit, the Admech were taken straight from an old short story called the Priests of Mars, Eldar are Moorcock's Elric, etc.
>GGGGAAAAAARRAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
>>98514630>The Infinite and the DivineI just ordered this, how is it? Gonna start it after I finish the Eisenhorn Omnibus (which is fucking awesome so far).
>>98514592Good Lord, it should be legal to smack the piss out of people like that
>>98514636I look like this and say this.
>>98514552Sorry, meant to say shit up the place with reclamation pools everywhere.From a Necron's POV there's not much difference. They don't want their worlds covered entirely in Nid pools and they don't want them sucked dry of everything.Nids even consume the crust of planets during Tyrannoforming, which means consuming much of the minerals from the planet too, meaning there's not much left to work with except rock and a volcanically unstable world.>Primary consumption of bio-mass begins (resistance has generally been eliminated by day 51). Brood ships land, releasing Ripper swarms and Eater Beasts[10], which consume all remaining organic material and depositing them at the reclamation pools. Capillary Towers (and the Brood ships) send the material into orbit.>The hive ships descend into the upper atmosphere and begin collecting it. Reduction in atmospheric pressure causes oceans to boil away, which are also collected. Lack of oceans causes plate tectonic shifts, dramatically increasing volcanic activity. Upon completion, the Hive Fleet move out of the system in search of fresh prey.

>>98514592They watch too much YouTube. I’ve been to half a dozen tournaments and no one gives a shit about correct modeling, it really didn’t matter in 10th once ruins rules were sorted and they eliminated all possible concern for it in 11th with keywords and terrain types.WTC is the last remaining tourney that’s anal about modeling and wysiwyg and it’s been a bit of a joke for this 11th edition one, they might not even care next year.

>>98514666Nice trips. Also as the harbringer of cringe, I can assure you that you guys have no clue what you're in for once the Amazon series drops. Normalfags who invade these spaces are some of the most obnoxiously competitive insecure faggots on the planet.

>>98514625no you fucking retard.
It clicked with me today that beyond milking the local lolcow, space wolves are just a generally good faction to have anyone else beat in a fight. It's a hearkening back to the Roman campaigns against the Gauls and the Germanic tribes. They're the best foe to defeat because they carry the same connotations of being a physically imposing yet culturally inferior foe to any actually civilized foe. In Roman times those barbarian tribes were the best target for military campaigns because of how much prestige a victory would net you.On that note how close do you guys think the newer Ultramarine models are to looking sufficiently space Roman instead of just being the apex of milquetoast?
>>98514632>Chaos is the Dark Side of the Force on steroids,NOIT'S LITERALLY CHAOS FROM THE ELRIC OF MELNOBOINE SERIESFUCK STAR WARS
>>98514691Orks aren't actually fungus, they're fungal/animal hybrids, the fungus lives in their skin which is where the green color comes from. Most people get this wrong.
>>98514691“orks are a fungal species” is a heavy oversimplification. the ancient slann were able to artificially make them to be whatever they wanted, so they are a plant, animal, fungal hybrid (or rather tribrid). this means they spread through spores, and grow out of the ground by eating dead plants, all the while growing bones, muscles, and organs, then when they rise up their chlorophyll skin allows them to photosynthesize.
>>98514671GW stole this from actual fungus, the cads!
>>98514663kek
How exactly did Korks devolve into Orks? Even if they had 'no good fights' left, they could always just fight each other.
>>98514632to me, the 40k series just seems like a mashup of Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard

>>98514726I honestly think it would be cool the space wolves were renegades. for one, it would be cool to have a kind of rogue state in the segmentum solar. space wolves are naturally independent, their mutations can make them be considered chaos tainted, and their longhouse partying ways may ostracize them from other chapters which might lead to a split. those are kind of flimsy, but the real reason this change would be justified is because it’ll allow space wolves to actually experience their true viking roots; sailing around the imperium, killing random scribes and monks they find, and bringing their loot back to fenris.
>>98514766We don't wanna go to war today!But the lord of the lash says, "nay nay nay!"
>>98514775Even on an aesthetic level they'd be pretty well-disposed to being renegades.Honestly the imperium as a whole would probably be more interesting if it was broken apart, eg; Ultramar sector says "I'm doing my own thing fuck you." And it makes marine-on-marine fights less stupid.
>>98514691some people say cucumbers taste better pickled
>>98514808if the Imperium broke apart it would quickly be overcome by its many sworn enemies and humans would go extinct

>>98514812I think the setting would also be cooler if 1) there weren't a gorzillion sworn enemies and 2) they weren't weren't threats to human existence half the time.My ideal setting would just be imperial guard, chaos space marines, orks, eldar, necrons, and nids.

Orks, sm, csm and eldar are enough the other factions are background characters or gimmicks. The platonic ideal 40k with all filler removed.

>>98514836>>98514853Takes too based for the time we live in
>>98514765Lovecraft would be pretty low down on the list of inspiration, if there is any it's likely secondhand. As another anon mentioned, Chaos is first and foremost ripped from Moorcock's writings.Robert E. Howard is just a massive influence on the fantasy genre in general more than most people know
>>98514836Sounds really boring
Huh, I was wondering why the Manticore is 150 points despite being pretty unimpressive, until I read the special rule. Whenever it hits infantry, they get -1 OC for the turn. There are lots of popular units that are only OC1, meaning the opponent would straight up lose the objective in many cases. If they don't have 2 units, or they don't have an OC2+ unit. Which is most of the time.So the Manticore isn't good on paper, but it does snipe several VP from the opponent every turn when it hits something on an objective. I really love that a unit can be pretty lame on stats but have an objective orientated niche. That's good game design.I'm actually a big fan of 11th edition. Been playing since 4th edition and every edition has pros and cons. I actually love the objective focus and complicated scoring, with multiple secondary missions and the different missions for each player system we have right now. There are some issues with 11th like faction balance and lethality and simplistic listbuilding but I personally think the objective focus more than makes up for it. It's got strategic depth now, which is a good thing.
>>98515097>>98515071Not quite.Inquisition are based on the 2000AD comic Torquemada (the Britbongs' heavily exaggerated idea of what the Spanish Inquisition was like), with a touch of Gestapo.The Brits thought the Spanish Inquisition were bloodthirsty mass murderers due to them being enemies at the time (the Inquisition actually brought some legal trial process to what was previously mob lynchings),so they wrote Torquemada very over the top accordingly. It's where we get our beloved Inquisition>Originally the leader of The Tube Police, a fascist police force and quasi-religious order in the far future, Torquemada became the dictator of the entire human race from its base on Termight (planet Earth). Torquemada invoked humanity's history of alien enslavement and occupation, instilling in mankind a fear and hatred of all aliens, even those who were peaceful or benign. His empire waged a speciesist war against all alien species, whom Torquemada regarded as "impure". Termight's Gestapo-like Thought Detectors scanned citizens' innermost thoughts, brutalising any who questioned the regime, even in dreams.>Torquemada is served by a fanatical army of soldiers called Terminators, who are constantly at war with all alien races in the galaxy. They were originally created to liberate Termight from alien invaders, but now were used to ensure that no extraterrestrial species would ever again enslave Termight, leading to a genocidal eradication of all non-terran beings.Pretty much every single concept in 40k is blatantly copied from something else with the most minimal alterations possible. >Inquisition: 2000AD Torquemada>Emperor & Imperium: Dune>Arbites: 2000AD Judge Dredd>Guard: any historical mini, Starship Troopers >Marines: Starship Troopers>Hive Worlds: 1984 by George Orwell >Chaos, Dark Eldar: Michael Moorcock>Votann, Eldar: JRR TolkienFunnily enough, despite all the hate Primarchs get, I think they're one of the very very few truly original concepts in 40k
>>98515204To clarify, due to being enemies while the Inquisition was occurring

>>98515204>I think they're one of the very very few truly original concepts in 40kOrks as well I think. But yeah wow I didn't realise just how much they stole from other properties. Makes since why Morcock hates GW and says they're a bunch of theives. Whats the inspiration for Tyranids? Like I get alien with the bio-organice stuff and the face rape that one artwork of the early nids shows (pic related) but they also seems like a fairly original GW idea
>>98514203>>98515213I think the star wars trade federation was a more important reference for the tau

You guys ever get the feeling that GW hates phobos marines, and regrets making them the "face" of primaris at the start?
>>98515241>crimson fingers
>>98515246They were never the face
>>98515241>IM SCHINKING CLAWS WITH MY FREAKING MIND
>>98515248They were pushed pretty damn hard and got a bunch of unique rules to make them stand out. Also they were the bulk of primaris forces for like 4 years iirc.
>>98513182Thank you and God bless anon!Now let's hope the abominable intelligences of chatgpt and gemini can give me good Blender advice for downgrading these lads to old heroic scale.Has a community term come out that differentiates the 2022 Cadian proportions between the old proportions? I'm not sure if heroic scale is still used by GW to describe the new proportions.
>>98515258nta but first you should look into smoothing out the scans, the cadians are pretty rough
>>98515258Why not just... buy old cadians?
>>98514917Vahlgons, Castigators Repentia and Arco-Flagellants on Penitent Host.
>>98515261>nta but first you should look into smoothing out the scans, the cadians are pretty roughI wasn't able to look because my PC is busted so I can't use it and only able to download on fellow house dweller's PC and his winzip is expired and he doesn't like stuff installed on his PC even if they will benefit him.So I couldn't look. Has the 3D printing community coined terms that define the "quality" of scans? Like rough to clean to "cad-like." Stuff like that would help. But I'm still grateful for the scans being provided as it is better than nothing in a context that actually works because I've had difficulties finding kneepad plastic Cadian scans.>>98515263They're out of production and I want to jokingly practice Blender with the new ones to have the old proportions. Maybe as a little easter egg in an army as a dad joke humor tier joke. One thing I will give the new proportions credit though is how they made the lasgun rifles longer. It makes it easier to tell the difference of a lasgun rifle vs a carbine. If plans for stats are applied.I do want to make an 'autogun sergeant' but the autogun is a lasgun with a drum mag shaped lasgun battery pack like the ones on those Tempestus Aquilons but I'm not sure if that would work as opponents might think they're just regular troopers.
>>98515241primer's looking a bit grainy. can't wait to see him painted.
Wasn't able to get brush to model this weekend but got my my last pathfinder team built and the other squads primed and ready for next week painting.
>>98515319
>>98515319nice, look forward to seeing the progress>>98515325don't try to use the react we all use against you on others, mutant
>>98515164>primo techNo anon.It is the cycle of newly released stuff to be overpowered to get sales. GW wants to maximize sales. And it makes me wonder if GW is ever confident when it comes to new releases selling well when they aren't space marines.
>>98513716>The axes and maces are retardedly big for no reason.They are shared with terminators.
>>98515245told ya
>>98515258if the previous one was heroic, and the new one isn't quite realistic yet, then it's either fencesitting or cowardly
>>98513611I like to headcanon that primarchs each had specific purposes.Some shared the same purposes. >Leman Russ and Angron to kill marines to keep marines in line>Rogal Dorn and Perty for sieging fortified positions and defending fortified positions>Magnus for Golden Throne>Guilliman for governance on a galactic levelDoes this mean Guilliman was made to transform the Imperium of Man into a fair and just dictatorship or even a galactic scale functioning and fair republic after Big E blitzkrieg reconquista'd the galaxy with military dictatorship foundations? I'm not sure to be honest. Any anons able to confirm this to be the case with lore sources even if the lore sources are of dubious canonicity?
>>98513523>the tomboy city might be the worstThe only thing that can fix this is to have Botes in 40k.
>>98515350I know power fists are jueg better but I wish 40k termies could use power weapons or chain axes I just love how they look.
>>98515371>then it's either fencesitting or cowardlyIt definitely was fencesitting in the department of supposedly fighting conversions beyond headswaps and bits GW produces according to anons who speculate the way marine sculpts are on sprues lately.I've seen these Anvil blog pics posted before, but they do highlight how there is still compatibility and pretty good conversion potential out there. So if the new Cadians were there to fight third party groups like Anvil and Victoria then they failed badly.
>>98514750Eldar molested them. If you want to rule over the galaxy for 65 million years, you will do something like this
>>98515376I'm a bit surprised that GW hasn't been pushing into the east Asian market by making official anime girl moe models based off Warhammer 40k warmachines. Or just animu gril figures in Warhammer 40k attire.
>>98515221>Orks as well I thinkA little bit but not really.Tolkien made his Orcs speak like the criminal Britons of his day already; GW just updated the lingo to their decade.I guess being green, squigs, growing with combat success, and psychic sensitivity make Orks a more unique spin on Tolkien orcs though.
>>98515465But I thought Orcs are based on his WWI experiences.
>>98515439The warhammer settings aren’t sexy, despite what the Genderbent r63 fags would have you believe. Tau gooner shit is so over sexualized it loops back to being digsuting tranny shit.

>>98515439They operate in Britain, one of the most sex-negative countries outside the Arab world.Inb4>Britain>Outside the Arab world
>>98515487Indians aren't arabs.
>>98515471>genderbent r63 fagsThat genderbent primarch stuff? Checks all the boxes of my tall muscle mommy fetish and the Warhammer 40k setting(s), but man some of the stuff in that community makes me sad to see. My mother was mentally ill and abusive so maybe it was meant for lads like me.>Tau gooner shitI wonder if Tau fans adjacent closer to the gooner stuff genuinely like the tau for what they are in the Warhammer 40k setting whether it was their original incarnation or what's going on now and instead just like the hot aylmao woman stuff.>>98515487Is there any reason beyond incompetence to why female faces aren't even "above average tier" attractive when plastic sculpted or painted example presented out of GW? I've seen examples of the female faces painted well, but that all feels like stupidly extra steps to make a bad sculpt look good like the Golden Demon catachan model.I'm not asking for Victoria Secret model face or 3D anime faces like from Final Fantasy kind of attractive faces, but I'm certainly not asking for ugly mini faces either. Do even the best plastic miniature makers of 28mm minis like Victrix struggle with attractive female face sculpts? I don't recall Victrix making female heads and they're regarded pretty well.
>>98515487Everyone knows it's US payment services companies that lead the puritanical charge.
>>98515469Yes, but not just Germans in WWI.Personally Tolkien objected to the demonisation of the enemy in both World Wars, though he did believe in England's cause in WWI and presumably WW2 as well.He basically based Orcs on all men who were violent, destructive, and industrially or militarily minded, acting in aggression or greed.>In a letter to his son, Christopher, who was serving in the RAF in the Second World War, Tolkien wrote of orcs as appearing on both sides of the conflict:Yes, I think the orcs as real a creation as anything in 'realistic' fiction ... only in real life they are on both sides, of course. For 'romance' has grown out of 'allegory', and its wars are still derived from the 'inner war' of allegory in which good is on one side and various modes of badness on the other. In real (exterior) life men are on both sides: which means a motley alliance of orcs, beasts, demons, plain naturally honest men, and angels.Visually Orcs were also inspired by "unlovely (to Western eyes) Mongoloid" facial characteristics, which is a statement that both seems racist for our time and was progressive for his time.
>>98515469>>98515519Addendum from the Hobbit:>[Goblins/Orcs] make no beautiful things, but they make many clever ones. They can tunnel and mine as well as any but the most skilled dwarves, when they take the trouble, though they are usually untidy and dirty. >Hammers, axes, swords, daggers, pickaxes, tongs, and also instruments of torture, they make very well, or get other people to make to their design, prisoners and slaves that have to work till they die for want of air and light. >It is not unlikely that they invented some of the machines that have since troubled the world, especially the ingenious devices for killing large numbers of people at once, for wheels and engines and explosions always delighted them, and also not working with their own hands more than they could help; but in those days and those wild parts they had not advanced (as it is called) so far.
>>98515519Here I was thinking Tolkein's orcs were supposed to be man with man's intellect and ingenuity but without the things that make man good, leaving just the terrible aspects of man. Guess I was wrong.>Visually OrcsThe funny thing is all fictional anythings gets demonized eventually after the author dies and especially the author gets demonized. Some more understandable than others like Lovecraft but their ips and creative things they made still get consumed and praised. Was this mongoloid part of Tolkein's orcs why orcs became accepted as big green muscle monsters?
>>98515537>Some more understandable than others like LovecraftThe vast majority of people don't know Lovecraft, in his final years, confessed through letters that he no longer held those opinions and considered his younger, uneducated self to be very cringe.
>>98515509Small faces force you to exaggerate features which looks fine on Mr Space Marine with their square jaws but when you try it on a female face you end up with dinner ladies.
>>98515509a lot of the cad monkeys are activitists who think the male gaze is evil and must be fought against for justice even though the game's audience is 99.9% male (including the dudes in wigs too)
>>98515564>vast majority of people don't know LovecraftFair enough.>final years denounced his past beliefsWas he just the exception to the old social pattern of people having their dumb depression influenced statements brought up to ruin their reputations?This is huge in the nerd communities where autists collect. Warhammer 40k is no exception. >>98515591That doesn't really feel like an excuse. And even if true GW still should try to make their female faces attractive instead of ugly. An ugly female/male face is easier to turn into an "ugly" one through simple hobby related means like painting burn marks or using a hobby knife to make scars.
>>98515640>who think the male gaze is evil and must be fought against for justice Nope no one cares that much. Its corperate being overly safe to the idea of someone being upset ontop of family friendly becoming to mean 'the most puritinical standard you can think'. Hence why there's no bare tits for women even with ogres when the men are fat and have tits the same size as the women.
>>98515649
>>98515564>confessed through letters that he no longer held those opinionsNo, Lovecraft was talking about other stuff there.He did get somewhat less racist in his middle age, and married a Jewish woman too, but he was still VERY racist (even by the standards of the fucking 1930s).Look up what he said about Greater New York in 1933, 4 years before his death. Or his opinions on India ("Hindoostan") in the same year.Lovecraft was so racist he actually managed to pre-empt the Nazis.
>>98515649These are not mutually exclusive things. The suits set the policy of PG13 and the rank and file gleefully put witch elves and eschers in hijabs for their activism. You look very sus with your gaslighting posts like this.
>>98515669>and the rank and file gleefully put witch elves and eschers in hijabs for their activismBut this didn't happen. In fact we got bare foots and tummies.
>>98515564Is it ethical to sex the fish people?
>>98515666>He did get somewhat less racist in his middle age, and married a Jewish woman too, but he was still VERY racist (even by the standards of the fucking 1930s).Anon the KKK were lynching back people. Lovecraft was not 'very racist' for his time as he didn't advocate for their murder which was occuring at the time. He ws pretty average for his time but americans try to whitewash their history so demonise him >Lovecraft was so racist he actually managed to pre-empt the Nazis.You're a fucking retard, the germans were using the same racsim the nazis used in 1908 when they were genociding africans. There's thing special about lovecraft racism, its the standard normal outlook of his time.>>98515669>You look very sus with your gaslighting posts like this.wtf does that mean, I look sus. Am I a fucking spook now rewriting history?
>>98515680Anyway lovecrafts influence on 40k is pretty limited since the only true lovecraftian beings in 40k are the tyranids and MAYBE the C'tan. And the old ones which are really just a plot device more than anything

>>98515775grognard vs nufan
>>98515591You can paint a woman's face well in miniature, it just requires a bit of knowledge in how to soften the mini's features with paint. Ironically, a lot of tricks women use in applying makeup work well for this. GW's modern SOB sculpts are mostly (barring a few examples) fine if you can manage that, but they're definitely not perfect and absolutely could be better.

>>98516021>How exactly does that work for a soulless being?It doesn't work.It's just another example of 40k becoming flanderized, soulless pile of fuck, and chaos metastasizing like cancer.>b-but vashtorrAn actual retcon trash who was lazily shoved into 40k without any actual set up or even reason to exist, and only reason why he even exists now is because he is clearly a left over shit character from GW's failed and aborted attempt of trying to AoS 40k back in 2017-2019. Evidenced by the fact his rumormill images stayed in limbo for like 3 god damn years, if not longer.So instead of scrapping the model and character, like they should have, they instead lazily shoved it into 40k to sell some plastic because these people no integrity.Chaos being stapled onto 40k in the latter half of Rogue Trader was purely a corporate decision because the faggots in management realized they could just sell 1 faction in 2 game systems to make more money. (WHF and 40k)It was a mistake and it should have never been done, ever. Defending this just means you're a soulless corporate golem.

>>98515842enlighten this poor retardioI know Priestley said he's read Lovecraft, but I'm still not seeing specific influences directly from Lovecraft, as opposed to works that borrowed general concepts from him
>>98515232No. Kryomek came after, they stole from Tyranids.
>>98516058>don't want C'tan to ruin the JP tourney sceneDare I say Based?
>>98515224>trade fedGood call, that's for sure in there too. Especially the grav tanks. The orientialist aliens with big hats looking the same is I think more about lucas and the fading suns guys having close enough understandings of what they wanted to riff on>THE INSCRUTABLE ORIENT Which you were still allowed to do at the time instead of needing to hire CCP backed cultural sensitivity consultants for Cathay.
>>98516272Had a lot of crossover artists who were all drawing on Alien/Aliens, the xenomorph+STT bugs. Early nids in things like Tyranid Attack fed into and got altered into Kyromek that fed back into 3rd ed nids and starcraft.
>>98515056Then you are watching someone play an older version, because it wouldn't even make sense to use these in 11th.
>>98514820I enjoy them. It just all depends on your playstyle. And every army is one balance update away from being a meme (except marines)
