>>98525561>how much is Slann cope?All of it. How do I know? It was revealed to me in a dream.
>>98525425Whomever these "space marines" might be, they would surely have comfortable armour. Probably padded, underneath its have plates, with its own futuristic filtration system just like Dune's desert suits, by the looks of the cable and helmet.
>>98525561anon did you use AI to recolour a black-and-white Karl Kospinski piece?
Did brets really not have a plastic hero before the new dogshit pegging lord? >>98525561Is this AI generated slop?
>>98525609The pegasus lord looks amazing, your taste is genuinely shit if you think that looks bad.
>>98525561>TQI'd say that a large part of it is cope. The original Great Plan went to smithereens the moment the Polar Gates exploded and Chaos invaded.Is it possible that the Old Ones left a contingency Great Plan in case of Chaos? Yes, but I don't think the Lizardmen could distinguish between these two.
>>98525618It looks like a fuckin toy you'd find from walmart.
>>98525626I wish, I would save a lot of money if Walmart sold kits like that.
>>98525628maybe give it another look.
>>98525609>Is this AI generated slop?It's a recolour of this artwork by Alex Boyd
>>98525561>>Thread Question:>How much of The Great Plan is genuine prophecy and how much is Slann cope?it's 100% true, all of it, it's just that it's not a linear description but a cyclical description, one novel gets to explain how the lizards see it:Imagine for example that the plan says something like "during the stellar alignment of Thingamabob, the hero Glup fights and defeats the great evil Shitto", and that this event has to come to pass for the plan to go on.You check the calendar, you see that the alignment happens in 200 years, you wait for it, you check around for a guy that follows the description of Glup, and another the description of Shitto, you think the plan is going as it should, then the two don't meet at all, or the two fight but shitto wins, despite the best efforts to make the event play out as it should; does that mean the great plan was wrong or that it broke down? No, it means that instead of this event happening now it will happen in the next alignment, or the one after that, or the one after that still, perhaps thousands of years away, because just as the stars move in cycles so do people, apparently, end up spawning the same archetypes in rhythms that are unknown to everyone but the slann, and eventually the plan will come to fruition, it's just that it would be better if it did sooner rather than later.Could it be that the plan will not come to fruition because it's delayed to the point everyone is dead and chaos breaks the cycles so they never align properly even in billions of years? Maybe, but the lizards work under the unshakeable conviction that "must happen" and "will happen" are the same thing, and the old ones seem to have known enough for there to be a good chance that their plan is sound enough to be completable.
Imo almost all old artwork would benefit from being recoloured. >>98525561OP's pic is proof of that.
>>98525680Your judgement is flawed and so is your conclusion.
>>98525680Killing yourself would unironically benefit all of humanity.
New Tomb Kings incoming
>>98526017I should make a ghost rider character on chariot if the new ones look decent. Flaming head and chains and such.
Half elves should exist in Warhammer, but be hated by absolutely everyone including the chaos gods and sometimes even their parents. Short of people actually going around and hunting them down en mass, but shown to be totally miserable with no romanization of being outcasts.
>>98526017With the anvils on it, I would more likely guess it for the new AoS dwarfsAlso not enough skulls for the TK
>>98526083>not enough skullsThats the modern GW ethos
>>98526059GW don't give a shit, you can pretend they exist and another guy can pretend they don't See black library authors
>>98526083Those "anvils" are straight up historical actually, like this Chariot.
>>98526017I agree, this is egyptian style bronzino age wheelerino
>>98526127Okay, you convinced me, but do you have any non-model examples?
>>98526140>>98526134This one's a bit harder to see but this is a legit depiction from Egypt.
>>98526152No archaeological or reconstruction examples?
Do you think with some conversion these models could be made into Tilean style cavalry?
>>98526059>Half elves should exist in Warhammerno, half races are cancer
>>98526099
>>98526017>>98526127>>98526152Based finally. Bring on the skelly bros.
I’m not fond of Stirland
>>98526158What's your plan with them that couldn't be better executed with pistoliers?
>>98526055Ah, yes, Mikael Jacsen
>>98526318Forgot pic
do people get picky in this game about wysiwyg?the dwarfs all have the ability to take a copious amount of wargear, hand weapons, great weapons, shields, and often ranged weapons too like rifles, handguns, throwing axes, grenades, etcbut its very difficult to actually put all of that physically on the models themselves without turning them into a jumbled mess of bits, but you leave critical gameplay elements off the table when you dont take them which makes your units significantly more vulnerable in game. whats the play here? are people usually okay if i just put it in my list that a unit has x,y, an z upgrades even if they arent all physically visible? or does that lead to some problems?
>>98526344You need to model a pile of weapons and say your dwarf is hiding inside it all. That’s sovl
>>98526344From both casual and tournament games I've played, nobody cares, though you get mega brownie points for true WYSIWYG.All that matters is that your opponent knows what each unit has and that it isn't confusing.
>>98526344No, they don't. However, don't take things too far! A bit of leeway is not an excuse to start pushing things. Your dwarfs can be modelled with hand weapons and shields and can instead have great weapons if you communicate this to your opponent properly. It is, however, a step too far to have dwarfs with hand weapons and shields and then say they're handgunners or quarrelers. Be reasonable and no-one will take issue with you.
>>98526344Not anymore, thank fucking god. It was really common in the oughts and fucking atrocious. I think the two GW sponsored events I went to did it simply to force people to buy more models, but the other several dozen tournaments I have no idea why they used that restriction.
>>98526344wysiwyg was more important in 40k where a random shrodinger meltagun could blow up a tank, but making it clear that your dwarfs have ranged weapons AND great weapons is going to be important here, unlike most other cases where proxying can be done with no issue at all.The most straightforward solution is not grab a dwarf with hand weapon+shield and claim it's got a great weapon and a crossbow as well, or overloading each model with all the equipment, but making up your unit with a healthy mix of models that have guns alongside a healthy amount of models that are visibly equipped with great weapons, so the opponent can tell that the unit at large can shoot and can hit at str5 in melee.
>>98526344other anons have given very reasonable views and i agree with them, and it's really not worth being anal about it as long as you aren't being an assholebut if you really want to wyswiyg, a great method would be a unit filler. say you have a unit of quarrelers, and you don't always want to give them shields, or great weapons. for shields, what about a line of dwarfs with shields for a unit filler? say it's 1x5, just as an example, so five dwarfs with shields. this clearly communicates the unit has shields. for great weapons, a wheelbarrow with great weapons on it. use these opportunities to add some soulkino to your army
>>98526597I hate how they gave this as an example of unit filler when in order to build it you have to use wheels from a skaven kit that has no extra wheels.
>>98526610To be fair, that's more of a pete_the_wargamer thing. He used that skaven kit to make a necrofex colossus without using the wheels, just the basic timber. And desu wheels are easy to make anyway
>>98526625You can also make a oyumaru molds for wheels very easily
>>98526597This looks more like a baggage train than a unit filler
>>98526262I just like the more ancient / classical lookI like the idea of tileans larping as their ancestors like lorenzo lupo
>>98525657That's a Paul Dainton painting.This is Alex Boyd's style>>98525680And this is Karl Kopinski btw>>98526316
Thoughts on this for Renegade Crowns Freeblade knights?Take a bret horse, dremel off the shields, add an empire horse head and use empire knight on top
I painted my orc boss on pig last night. Was a quick job but he is fieldable at least.
>>98526921Hopefully not sticking to the wall this time.
>>98526921>>98526942PIIIIIIIIG RIIIIIIIIIIDER! Looks good Anon, nice work.
>>98526942Alright man. I appreciate you posting your boyz and the battle reports, but for the love of God please flock your bases. It takes so little effort and it makes the miniatures look so much better.
>>98526999Oh I will put basing on him, don't worry, admittedly Stirland mud, but it will be on!>>98526972Thanks man.
>>98526017>old tomb kings models getting remadethis means eventually it will happen with Bretonnians as wellHopefully the new mounted realm/errant/questing... knights will look better than the fisher price foot knights
Pains my heart that the Tomb Kings sculpts might be lost to modern CADslop.
>>98527108So get them then?
>>98527136If I can afford the army box, I just might have to.
>>98527108If this is what pains you I hope you get daily heart attacks.
>>98527082>this means eventually it will happen with Bretonnians as wellThat is the rumour, will probably start with the Knights since that would mean removing a bunch of old metals from production
>>98527108The ancient skeletons that have been dated since 2008?
>>98527362The skeleton horses are from 1988
>>98527234I hope your favorite army gets expensive new redesigns in the styling of the Brettonian Footknights.
Post dudes!
>>98527560What an horrible thing tobsay even according to the standards of 4chan
