Yeah, I've had very similar thoughts over the last few weeks mulling on this stuff. My plan already is that any dudes made with more Cadian gear (odd cap/helmet/las carbine) would be Vervunhivers, and I had a thought at one stage that I could do predominately Tanith First for the recon squad and predominately Vervunhivers unit for cadian infantry... My fear though is making that one KT box stretch over 4-5 squads whilst trying to avoid duplicate posing and shit. In any case no the scions will be scions, I have the elysian buggies to kitbash with taurox bitz to make some cool "armoured tauroses" they can race around in, and if they have to park their asses on objectives so be it. Thanks for all your chatter anyway, gave me a bunch to think about. I'll keep working away on minis and bet the Guard codex will fuck everything up anyhow when it's released

how so? it shows far more that they actually like to hobby than he does for sure, but the fact he’s so annoying a bunch of anons choose to spite him is pretty telling, and then add on he is so lazy anons know that they’ll paint their hellblasters before he does is utterly humiliating on his part.
if anons actually follow through, I’d say this is worse for him than the space wolf collage. at least it was just his general army getting BTFO that time, but this is purely about HIM being a daydreaming failure who might have (100%) commissioned his models.

My space marine chapter are like salamanders, but white, they live underground with their families, they do everything they can to make sure the organ transplants are as safe as possible. They hate extermantus, and will do whatever it takes to save everyone on a worls. Their chapter master Kleptic Yawning, has defeat Helbrecht, Tyberos, and Moloc in duels. They ensure that all the planets in their domain are healthy, happy, and governed fairly, and aren't afraid to stand up to imperium bully boys. I call them the Moon Sons.

I hated this model for the longest time until I discovered it had an alternate head. I now hate it a lot less, but am still unsure how to fit it into my force. I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be attached to a unit of Thunderkyn, but I feel his profiles don't mesh well with either of their guns

Are the hull lascannons on LR Vanquishers worth spending 5 points each on? I have 3 lascannons I can easily swap off to get me 70 points so I could fit a Hippogriff.
I figure the vanquisher cannons are more than enough insurance against whatever needs to die that the lascannons are a bit overkill, but I also haven't spammed tanks in 40k.

I do not recommend it. Most big tournaments for any /tg/ hobby are pretty fucking awful. You get a lot of the worst min-maxers and rules lawyers imaginable. Tournament 40k is rough since slow play really isn't defined and judges/TOs can be pretty inconsistent in what they say. Going with some friends from locals can be a fun trip, but going solo is just awful. Most of the people showing up want to win, not have a good a time. You will also find some of the exemplars of the worst stereotypes for the hobby

You should not listen to the Destinyfag trying to advertise his game to you. You will only find an MMO comparable to 40k in terms of wasted potential, retcons, and corporate greed. You will also feel disappointed in both Destiny and 40k in how they highlight each others inadequacies.

For example, you will find tons of Chaos Xenos and DAoT tech in Destiny. The DAoT fractions will make you envious and wish Votann are like that, though yu might also see the Leviathan raid and be unhappy the Votann are alike them but not enough. On the reverse level, you will see how they reuse the same factions over and over and you will be disappointed in the company's greed and apathy towards their own game makes you wish they were less asshole to their players. Even GW greed is less than them.

Don't forget that multiple instances of the same buff don't stack. For example +1 to hit and +1 to hit from two different sources do not stack. But +1 to hit and +1 BS do stack, because they are different types of buffs that just happen to do similar end effects.

Yeah this place has some bad apples (which includes the people who constantly give them attention which is what they want so they never leave). Watching model posters or game posters or people asking rules questions get ignored while at the same time the same people shower decalmut with the attention he craves every thread legitimately makes me mad. This place has some cancers.
>>
>>98600941
>you will find tons of Chaos Xenos
The Imperialization of Chaos cannot be stopped. The Imperialization of Chaos is the ultimate goal of the Emperor and the point of the setting. The Emperor plans to rewrite all of the Immaterium into his image. Abaddon the Loyalist, his greatest ally, is secretly into this plan. This is why he chose the name Imperium Nihilius, to retain the name Imperium.

Together, all of Chaos will become theirs. Khorne will wake up on his Golden Skull Throne, not realizing there's anything wrong. Tzeentch will be unable to shapeshift in any form but Space Marines. The only drugs going through Slaanesh will be performance enhancers for Space Marines. Nurgle's Nurglings have already started wearing human hats. The process has begun and cannot be stopped. Besides Daemons, all Chaos on tabletop is already Chaos Imperium. Eventually there will only be Chaos Imperium. Then there will be no Chaos without Imperium.

It's already working marvelously. The poster children for Chaos are CSM who fight with Bolters, Plasma, and other Imperial weapons. No Chaos Xenos exist. Daemons will be squatted and soon all Chaos will be Imperium + Spikes.

Chaos will become Imperialized. Just imagine what this means, the Immaterium composed of thoughts from countless universes, all being Imperium. This means across all realities, it's impossible to even THINK of non-Imperial things. This is the Emperor's goal.

No idea who the guy in the super pixelated image. If you're in the area and don't have to get a hotel, a basic day badge can be a fun way to explore and see what it's about if you've never been to a nerd con before. However, a lot of the classes and competitions might have additional fees. Make sure to check what the ticket you buy grants you access to. I haven't been to Nova open, so I don't know how it does things differently form other cons. Still don't recommend going alone as being alone in a massive crowd can be depressing. Also, don't expect the vendors to sell anything cheaply. A lot of vendors charge more than you might find online unless it's the last day of the event.

They've almost finished updating everything anon, there's practically nothing left once DE get theirs which is obviously coming soon. You've got like a couple Eldar units left, Catachans for Guard, another big wave for Votann, maybe expanding World Eaters and Emperor's Children with a few more units, but at that point it's time to start adding new factions, like Dark Mechanicum, maybe expanded Exodites, and then what?

Hrud are the alien race that doesn't have models with is probably mentioned the most in codex lore blurbs.

>Guard
Should be fine, depends on how many foot sloggers you want. If you want to have a bunch of "hold the line" it might be rough. Also, don't go looking into alternate regiments or you'll get sad and then have to go to like Wargames Atlantic.
Also this will probably have bigger initial costs but smaller longtime costs if you buy the right vehicles.
>Sisters
Don't. If you only said sisters and no other faction then it would be a yes but the answer is no.
>T'au
I strongly believe that all auxiliaries deserve nothing but an genocidal cleansing. Based pick potentially, but will also be a little suffering if you want the clean aesthetic real T'au is known for. If you want Halo Covenant, you will NOT get it here; don't even fucking try. If you wanna play Kroot you can I guess, but then we're sworn enemies.
>T. Sons
I would advise against this for a similar reason to the Sisters but worse. You will either be extremely miserable and probably quit painting the trim on them, or it will be your only joy in life.
>Space Marines
Fuck it man, why not. Are you ashamed of what brings you joy? Many people only play or collect space marines. Just be aware that you will be getting the most new releases of any faction, so if you're weak to shiny trinkets and the new toy effect it might be way too expensive.
>Imperial Agents
This isn't an army, it's a box GW puts the cool one off minis they make into because they lost a copyright lawsuit about miniatures without rules in the last decade.


>Exodites
Kill Team Models that will have 40K rules. Will be VERY expensive if you wanna make them the bulk of your force.

I was gonna try give you a rough "total army cost" for each of the factions to get to 2K points, but you'll probably wanna start with 600 point games at best and also it'd take me a long time. Go google it, there's probably some youtube videos on the topic.

40k GT is kinda soulless tourney slop, but narrative 40k is soul and you have a lot of other events that are worth walking through. 40k teams usually has a bunch of people doing army displays.

Tau are alright, I think. Guard are one of the more expensive armies and I think sisters are up there too. Sisters and 1ksons (really just CSM and any monogod army) are hard to paint.
As exodites go it's just gonna be the one killteam launch, but you could kitbash and mix some bits to make some nice exodite-looking guys. killteam kits are always a good way to get a bunch of bits.

>>98601077
Small warning about IG, armies with less models but bigger ones tend to be easier to start because there's less total model to pain and bigger means less detail-intensive when painting smaller bits. Not to say you can't, but it'll be a slight bit harder as a starter.

>>98601120
I only vaguely know the details, I could be wrong so take this with a bunch of salt but my understand is another company was selling models for something that exists in universe for 40K and had rules but GW did not have a model for. GW attempted to sue them for copyright infringement for using the 40K IP and lost because the court ruled that since there was no official model by GW to use it was fair use to make the model and sell it, but they couldn't use GW copyrighted terms.
It may be apocryphal, I might try google it more later.

>so Exodites aren't actually going to eventually become a proper army?
Typically, KT has been used as something of a creative outlet for the sculptors to go wild with some cool unit, even refreshing/adding some subfaction. Unfortunately they just tend to do this as a one-off, see how the vespid KT didn't herald a whole new "auxiliaries" update for Tau, or the mandrake KT didn't come with a DE refresh shortly after. So there's very little chance James does actually flesh exodites out more than this one unit, but also the fact that exodites haven't existed as minis before is giving people hope that they still might. I hope so too, but it's a very GW thing to just leave the cool subfaction as just one unit that was pumped out for cred points.

I outlined shit that they will finish in a single year, have you even been paying attention to how fast releases have been since 8th?

Many of these existed beforehand in terms of lore or minor side units in other codexes, but in terms of new fully supported codex factions with expanded units:

3rd edition added Dark Eldar, Tau, Necrons and Daemonhunters
4th edition added Black Templars and Chaos Daemons
5th edition added Grey Knights (replacing Daemonhunters)
6th edition added Imperial Knights
7th edition added Adeptus Mechanicus, Deathwatch, Custodes, Harlequins, Genestealer Cults, Thousand Sons
8th edition added Death Guard, Chaos Knights, basically completely redid Space Marines and Sisters of Battle
9th edition added World Eaters and Leagues of Votann
10th edition added Emperor's Children and combined a bunch of recent Kill Team stuff into Imperial Agents

We usually get at about two new codexes every single edition, so expect something like Dark Mechanicum or Iron Warriors (one or the other, maybe combined into a single force, they definitely won't do both) coming in 11th and that leaves probably one more. Exodites as their own book? Maybe, but I doubt it, more likely they're just a few units in Craftworlds. So don't put something like Hrud or Zoats out of the question. Next year is the 40th anniversary of 40k and GW doing a Codex Zoats as a throwback to Rogue Trader would not be completely unbelievable.

You CAN play guard like that, or you can play guard as if you're in the PLA on June 4, 1989 and you just got ordered to drive a tank into Tiananmen Square.
>I have no idea, I've never played before
You described one play fantasy of guard, so you can clearly figure it out at least in part without playing. Just apply a bit more imagination into what you think it'd be like with the units presented to you.

How willing are you to stick with something after saying to yourself "this was a bad decision?"
If you give up easily, pick Tau or a Space Marine faction. Bigger models with less detail are easier to paint.
If you don't give up easily, pick Guard. You'll eventually get into the "I like the way this sucks" mindset and learn to enjoy the pain. Then you can consider getting into Sisters afterwards.
If you stick through it to the end no matter what (and are angry the whole time), pick Thousand Sons.
If you stick through it to the end no matter what (and develop because of it), pick Sisters.

>>
>>98601179
Things are much more loose these days. We used to have What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG), which is to say that a dude only had a plasma gun in his stats if he was physically carrying a plasma gun on the model, and this was important when shit like plasma guns were a points upgrade. Nowadays special weapon options are baked into the unit price and aren't a separate upgrade (which yeah, sadly reduces listbuilding options, no reason to not take the strongest gear) and as such WYSIWYG went out the window.
>what's generally the limit of what's acceptable
In an official Warhammer tourney these days it just has to be GW minis.
>>
>>98601176
More realistically it wouldn't be "Codex Zoats" but maybe something like "Codex Xenos Mercenaries" that mixes tons of little odd minor xenos the way Imperial Agents does.

But just to remind you, /tg/ has doubted almost every single fucking new thing GW has released over the past 10 years. The following used to be a list of stuff people were convinced were NEVER EVER getting plastic models:
>primarchs
>custodes
>death korps of krieg
>genestealer cults
>squats
>exodites
And look where we are.

I remember even after Magnus came out and I said Mortarion was next, because Death Guard had already been announced as the enemies in the 8th edition start box, you had anons fucking DEATHLY convinced that was impossible. And then after Mortarion came out, I said Angron and Fulgrim were obviously coming too, and you had some literally fucking absolutely certain GW was going to stop at only 2 Cult Daemon Primarchs for some reason. It wasn't until Angron got revealed that the stubborn retards finally admitted okay yeah Fulgrim is coming too. Until the reveal of Leagues of Votann nobody would have believed Squats were getting unsquatted. You had guys just a few months ago who would swear on their lives Exodites were never getting models. You guys are always fucking wrong, every time.

So do I think this means HRUD CONFIRMED or ZOATS CONFIRMED, no, but it's way more likely than people give it credit for.
>>
>>98601176
It should be Codex: Minor Xenos and have the rules for Sslyth, Zoats, Hrud, Vespids, Kroot and all the other fuckass ugly aliens that don't belong anywhere else
>>98601179
Don't model for advantage (making the models much smaller or otherwise try to obscure them from line of sight etc).
Also some tournaments, usually only the really big sanctioned ones will have a "GW plastic only" where some greenstuff milliput sculpting would be fine, but whole 3D printed torsos and limbs would not.

Expect this to be the most we get for 11th. After that we can start looking into new shit, at which point it will start with obvious ones like Traitor Guard (12th) or Dark Mechanicum (13th). Followed by Exodites for 15th and by then they'll need to start refreshing Death Guard or some shit and the cycle repeats.

Yeah some of the books just really drag or have just zero real motion in the story, Descent of Angels comes to mind as the first point where I read one and was like 'oh it's just nothing'.

Basic rules are don't make the model smaller than the official, don't make them easier to obscure in terrain, and don't have some guy with a basic weapon be the guy with a special weapon. If it's not a GW mini, you might risk being DQ'd or even banned if it's 3d printed or recast depending on the store/event. Casual play is a total mystery as some people don't care that much and others might care a lot. Furthermore, some stores in my area have started banning 3d printed minis so they're not allowed even in casual play by some people. However, converting a mini to be something is usually allowed. Some people are a special kind of dumb and don't really understand stuff like kitbashing and a bit of sculpting so good luck with that.

speaking as one of the few women to play 40k, I know the femstodes got me interested in the faction. I wanted another all femalw army to play that wasn't as glass cannon as sob, so the retcon + model refresh + value box was an amazing springboard into collecting the army.

It got me to spend about 600$ish bux on a full 2k army, which felt really dirt cheap imo especially for a force with infantry and vehicles
>>98601342
i still dont get the seethe about female custodes desu, it makes zero difference in the grand scheme of things and marines are all still male anyway. I thought most people hated custodes anyway and said they dont belong as an army in 40k, so the outrage seems performative

my only issue is that in 40k pretty much every army except space marines has women representation in it.

My biggest gripe is why the crusade for female space marines.
Why cant there be a male only faction. Why are boys only clubs always torn down.

I say this as a tau main who has shadowsun and doesn't give a fuck if my suits are piloted by women or not. But to me boys deserve a safe space even if its just fictional space marines.

I don't really care much but it really doesn't make sense to make females, men are superior when it comes to strength and that's a simple fact.
They could've very easily expanded on the sisters of silence or something along those lines but instead it's just hamfisted inclusion for the sake of it.
I'm less upset about the fact they're women custodes and more about the fact they just slapped it in with no regard for their past and history.

Good point, I have no idea regarding the 1-1 scans. Although most 3d printed minis I've seen IRL are not those and not done by people willing to spend the time to learn how to use their printer well. The stores in my area that have banned them did so because they realized that the assholes loudly saying you shouldn't buy the minis and should print them instead were hurting their sales.

Kinda depressing that in 40K, Chaos Marines are scavengers and barely pose a threat to the Imperium except when they stop backstabbing each other temporarily.

Yes but I also like the idea of having my own OC as a Warlord hence why I like generic single units over named ones. Also, should I have 2 Wave Serpents? Or should I have 2 Falcons/Fire Prisms?

Never played before & trying to figure out my next purchases based on a list that will be fun to play and not too expensive based on my current collection

Thoughts on this list

Bully Boyz/Runt Swarm/Mad Cap Meks

>Nazdreg - 175
>5 Meganobz - 185

>Mega Warboss (tellyporta) - 125
>5 Meganobz - 185

>Big Mek SAG - 95
>3 Mek Gunz, Kustom Mega Cannon - 165

>Big Mek SAG - 105
>3 Mek Gunz, Kustom Mega Cannon - 165

>2 x Big Mek Dakkarig - 270

>5 x 10 Gretchin - 225
>10 Boyz - 90
>10 Boyz - 90

Total: 1875

Idea is to have a Mek Gunline that can't be taken out easily by any powerful long range shooting as grot shields can absorb it - then MANZ can deepstrike in and take out any big threats.

Before I go ahead ordering 50 grots can someone tell me if this will be fun to play.

I don't play orks but you shouldn't ever plan to 'always start with x and y in reserves'. It's a matchup-dependent thing, against certain armies, currently the scouting orks or slaanesh demons for example, you want to have everything on board from the get go.

One day GW will realise that in order to make female models that sell they're going to have to make them attractive because for a girl, high status means being conventionally attractive so a toy girl that isn't beautiful is worthless and for boys it needs to make their PP hard one way or the other.
I am sure we'll never get female marines, but I suspect we'll get a few more shots at female custodes and hopefully someone knocks some sense into them and we get some femstodes with KOLOSSAL KUSTODE KNOCKERS or scantily clad attractive sisters of silece

>>98602312
>the secret sauce is the fraternal aspect of chapters.
Unironically no.
The secret sauce is marines being able to come up with any idea and it'd fit as a marine chapter theme. The whole point of marines is that all the different chapters have different aesthetics, mentality and culture due to their isolation and propensity to keep to themselves.

That's the biggest pull of marines. Want to make tactical spec ops marines with no non-sense attitude to war? We have both Raven Guard and Raptors for that.
Want marines with wall autism and built fortifications? You have the Imperial Fists and even Iron Warriors on the chaos side for that.
Want cyborg marines who are 90% metal? We have Iron Hands.
Want vampire marines? We have both Blood Angels AND Night Lords on chaos side for that.
Want Roman Empire in space? Go for Ultramarines.
Want Greek in space? Go for Minotaurs.
Want viking marines? We have Space Wolves.
Want generic ish knight marines? We have Dark Angels, Black Templars and even BA and IF again to an extent at least if you use HH models.

It has nothing to do with what gender marines are. They are popular because marines can be tweaked and changed to fit any sort of idea you want.
I can guarantee you that people who chose marines did not choose them because it was important to them that marines have dicks between their legs. If you do and actually chose marines based on that, you're unironically a faggot.
>>
>>98602346
the secret sauce is marines being manly men with burly bulky hardened hypermasculine silhouettes

if marines were completely customisable as you say but were dainty frail thin and feeble then they wouldn't sell

Because is still incredibly niche, in general 40k doesn't get that much porn. Like yes there is like 10k images on r34, but lot of it is very old shit, low effort, bad quality or AI slop.
And any new decently made pieces only appear once in a blue moon.

Also most porn artists who do hear about 40k tend to go with Slaanesh stuff because it is just obvious. "I'm gonna draw porn of the daemons of the sex god in 40k"

I would not have categorized the amount they had prior as healthy. I feel like there was a spike at the announcement and then it dropped when the new fomo hit. I can think of one artist who draws good 40k lewds regularly and he mostly does guard women and pubes (extremely based). If there was someone doing it consistently prior I'd believe there was something there but I feel it's almost entirely one hit pieces and then artists get the feeling they wanted out of their system and they return to their natural grounds

It started at the highest level of competition to speed up gameplay. So imagine 2 of the most knowledgeable 40k players in existence doing this. They already know pretty much everything. So it was really just like hey I am going to drop these guys 1.1inch behind this wall, which as a human is mostly impossible so lets just agree instead of me taking 5 minutes.

Then it became a way for shit players to whine. Now if someone asks you, Hey you got any fight on death strats? you do need to answer, the rules arent free in this game(yes I know online) So knowledge does need to be shared. So its mostly hey if you deepstrike here, I will absolutely use a reactive move.

It sounds like the usual problem of oversimplification. There is the thing of not expecting your opponent to know all your army's rules.

>>98602359
most casual players aren't going to know all their opponents rules.

explaining what your dudes can do and what you're trying to do is a friendly timesaving measure.

Your opponent COULD take 45-60 minutes to take a turn while they double check all the possible game interactions that your units are capable of- or you just tell them and be chill.
>>
>>98602359
Depends on the context, I do tell my opponent if he has forgot a rule.
>>
>>98602359
40k is a game you play with someone as much as against them. Keeping up a dialogue and reminding your opponent what you can do and the implications of what they're about to do is just common courtesy. Unless they tell you to stfu, in which case all bets are off.

the warrior is male because humans are built to see it that way. simple as.
if you make warriors gender-neutral, you lose the reality anchoring the fantasy. it becomes cosplay/barely disguised fetish
>>
>>98602346
that is part of it, but most of these aesthetics that you brought up are mostly fraternal organizations.

It's kind of a chicken and the egg situation, It's hard to say at what point female space marines begin to ruin the immersion for players but it's pretty clear that somewhere along the way, it does.

I never got a smooth greenstuff cured result. Always a finger print or something that gives away that a greenstuff gap fill was there. I hate it and I hate myself.

If you don't have more melee punch other than those wb I'd take something like a unit of banshees+Jain Zar, or the new Dino Knights, or Shining Spears. Hard to pick without knowing the rest of your list.

The indirect fire tank (night spinner) and weapons platforms. After that probably the Crimson Hunter and Hemlock Wraith Fighter(aircraft) only because they kinda suck right now.

when you rescale the tactical marine and make it look less goofy due to scaling issues, you're left with something pretty similar to what the new intercessor multipart kit is shaping up to be.

a sizeable portion of the primaris aesthetic hate is downstream of how badly GW went about the change (the rest is because they tried to make space marines tactical in a setting where people charge at demon dogs with chainsaw axes).
>>
>>98602472
It's not necessarily that they're losing sales as it is not having precise knowledge of what is driving sales. If the box is labeled AoS but the models can be used for three other games, you don't actually know whether AoS is what sells there. And knowing that is important if resources are to be allocated intelligently.

But because of how these games have developed over the decades, when the product lines are disentangled, we end up with weird situations like AoS and TOW each developing their own version of Chaos Warriors. And that might make sense if you're doing the accounting for both games' development discretely, and the different boxes are just products A and B, but on the consumer side it looks like a very weird way to do business.

Does he have a model in the game?

>if you wanna be pedantic
That's literally part of the armour that differentiates him from regular marines.
It's not pedantic to point it out

You don't have to tell someone what your overall plan for the game is. The point is to speed up the game, eliminate gotchas!, and make the game more enjoyable. So for example my opponent goes ,"hey I want to move this unit here to shoot at your monster and then charge it, you got any rules or something to stop that?" And I say ,"yeah man looks like they'll be able to see and shoot my dude, but I have an ability to reduce charge distance by 2 and I can also overwatch you with this other unit here and they hit on 5s instead". I don't need to volunteer that attempting to charge my guy is a bad idea, just the abilities he has or strats I can use, the rest is up to my opponent. If he moves, shoots, (I don't have to overwatch), and then attempts to charge but then needs a an 11 after my dudes ability, and then fails that charge roll, that's on him. All relevant information was provided, it was his decision to still make a risky play.

why does he have a muzzle on? is he meant to be a space wolves techmarine?

That makes sense, Ty anon for an intelligent answer. Didn't think about that before. Still don't agree with their choices regarding the matter but I get it.

Carry on then. When I'm being a flagrant homosexual I need at least one participant to be my type, and Space Marines are too big generally. I guess I could technically headcanon Phobos as all being twinks/ambushes

Bill and his apothecary boys finally together.
Since retro won I'm thinking a juggerlord or a plague marine squad or something next. Or terminators. Or a csm squad. Seriously, deciding what to pick is always the hardest part.

>>98602532
The original post didn't mention models.

>>98602524
Techmarines man every marine vehicle and artillery piece and the dudes inside typically don't have servoarms because otherwise they wouldn't fit.

>>98602557
Still lame. There is plenty of space in the marine's rectal cavity to house one.

>it is not having precise knowledge of what is driving sales
Sales are sales. Doesn't matter which game system they are for, a model selling is a model selling.
>And knowing that is important if resources are to be allocated intelligently.
If a chaos warrior for TOW sells because people are buying it for AoS and you allocate more resources into TOW chaos warriors the AoS dudes are still gonna keep buying them because the important part is still the model, not the system it's meant for. It's pointless to make this divide and it costs them sales. Do you have any idea how many peope would instantly spend hundreds of bucks on 30k AdMech stuff it it was fully integrated in the 40k codex? Way more than the people who are willing to buy a whole ass separate army for a separate game.

>>98602559
yeah but you wouldn't see it even if he had one

>a model selling is a model selling.
except the jewish suits that manage the subdepartments of gw have decided that the department for 40k and the one for hh must have separate budgets depending on their separate sales so they must count those separately somehow

>>98602565
Again, even if that's true it shouldn't matter. If people are buying leviathan dreadnoughts like no tomorrow to use in 40k and that makes them allocate more resources to 30k to make more stuff, people are still gonna keep buying that new stuff for 40k.

no it's because the primaris aesthetic is too busy while also adding a boring helmet
