Lore, or model history?

>Lore
Octarius, hands down. Nids and Orks slaughtering each other in ever escalating war while the Imperium looks on clutching their pearls, is easily top 3 kino in the entire setting.

>Models
4th/5th refresh still edges out 11e, it's closer than I'd like to admit but FW still having a healthy and cool AF range supported makes up for that period still having a lot of older models that didn't jive well with the newer range.

Man, I cannot stand painting. It's so boring and annoying. Such a slog. Every time I paint I simply wish I could go back to the fun part - assembling, printing, kitbashing, sculpting, printing, recasting etc. Building your guy is so fucking fun. It's so damn satisfying seeing all those loose small bits merged into a bigger miniature with a cool pose and all.
And then you have to fucking paint it. Dissonance between how fun creating mini is and how awful painting is insane to me. But without paint mini won't look right so I have to endure it.
At this point I just try to block all those colors ASAP, simply so there is paint on them. I have way too many of them unpainted and it's annoying, but painting is annoying too aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I just want to build again

Model and rules-wise 5e DE codex was one of the best Codexes ever written and came with the best full range update GW has ever put to plastic and resin
Lore-wise the War of Dark Revelations is a classic and Vect's funeral is a more recent highlight, but I also just really like the Path of the Dark Eldar Trilogy.

Gamewise? 8th edition when I could run veterans with my command squad as separate characters and it was awesome and FUN. I painted up <my dudes> HQs and banners and did my custom knight house. For my Eldar it was 9th edition when my rules were bonkers, I could do whatever I wanted, I hit like a freight train and died just as quickly and it was hilarious and FUN.

<My dude> fluffwise it was right before the grest rift opened when they destroyed <my eldar>'s craftworld and slaughtered it's population for revenge

I tried 1 (one) contrast paint and it sucked. Maybe it gone bad and I was unlucky, but it resulted in a completely different color than advertised. I never bothered with them again
>>98627407
Commissioning would do nothing to me. Mini wouldn't feel like mine in the end. I need to have as unique mini as it is possible. I'm using assembly instructions just so I don't accidentally build mini as per instructions. It still weighs heavily upon my soul that I painted my bunch of Marines in Blood Ravens colors instead of doing my own Chapter. They don't feel really mine
I just need to slog through it

Silver is a neutral color so truthfully, I can’t theory craft of color for you

Dakkarig, Nazdreg, Bigboss, Wazdakka all were new, effectively. Wartrakk is semi-new, obviously not brand new but the unit hasn't existed in the army for like 12+ years.
>>
>>98627668
Something dark magenta or purple maybe. I'll grab a box of Legionaries, Vallejo TMM Sterling Silver set, and a few speed paints/xpress/contrast w/e.
I've seen Invocators, I like the scheme and thematically it fits as well but the color transition might prove a bit difficult for a less experienced hobbyist like me.

>>98627689
I was kind of thinking the same thing
It’s pretty normal for chaos to have their primary flavor color be like a dark red or purple or something kind of foreboding and evil looking

You know what?
These retards are a joke. Both in-universe, design-wise, and as an actual army.

An actual fucking unplayable joke.
Picking this army means that you don't play to win; you "play" to gamble for those onions pog moments of
>ooh, look, I hit you like 10 times! (out of 60)
... and then your attacks still don't do shit.
By the way, a quick message to the ork retards - hitting your enemy is an actual regular occurrence for literally any other army in the game.

Picking this army means you automatically concede before the game even starts, it's equivalent to shaking your opponent's hand and congratulating him on his win right after you declare that you will "play" orks.

Picking this army means you want to waste everyone's time, yours included, on a boring unwinnable (for (You)) slog, because it stops being funny after your third loss, and yet here you are, hundreds of games later, still yelling WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH in the store like a severely autistic manchild.


For the above reasons, one must assume ork players are the true enlightened egoist: the purest nihilists, beholden to no rules, neither those of society nor the nature itself.

They reject arbitrary concepts like fun, social tact, and regular showers, and actively work on disillusioning everyone unfortunate to be in their presence, while quoting Nietzsche and Stirner ad nauseam.

>tl;dr

Fuck the orks and the ork players. Fuck everything they stand for, fuck them and their families.

I've gotten a new job recently, really been eating up my time while a new EC army stares at me from their boxes on the shelf.
I'm not burnt out of the hobby or anything, but putting the time in just seems like a mountain I can't climb.
>>
>>98627775

Tough for Eldar, but actually middle of the road tough overall. Can't run 10 wraith bricks anymore which blows. The thing Wraiths have over other stuff is they're actually fast for their toughness. Running 1-3 wraithlords and 1-3 wraithknights in Eldritch Raiders (for advance and charge) is actually really fucking funny. You can be in your opponents deployment T2 (sometimes T1) with titanic models.

>>98627403
The trick is to find a method you enjoy. Right now you are obviously doing something you hate, but you want the end result, the painted army. Ask yourself what you don't like and why you are doing it that way. There are a million different ways to paint a mini and there is no point in following a method you don't enjoy. Just try some different stuff. Maybe you'll find something you actually enjoy doing.

Big switch for me was to move away from assembly line painting. It sucked the motivation right out of me. So now I do smaller groups and seeing more done in a session is a huge difference for my mental state.

Ork players tend to be the chillest people, because they don't have an autistic fixation on winning at a game of toysoldiers with a set of untested rules clearly written by retards to as a marketing ploy to sell their minis.

I'll grant you the yelling, but I have literally never seen this in 25+ years of being in the hobby. The only time I've ever seen it was in awkward GW marketing material where they put people up to it.

They are chill. But I'd rather hang out and drink a beer, and not bother bringing the damn models in the first place.
Might as well just roll the dice themselves with no "rules" attached, or just flip a coin.

If you want a skill based game you need to eliminate chance. That's a fact. If you don't understand that you are the one a little slow, my friend. Like I said, you can set yourself up for success by playing the odds, but that's the extent of your agency. Ultimately it's random, i.e. gambling.

>>
>>98628006
I mean yes, sure, but there are still decisions you can make, and within those the "skill" lies, there's the fun part, the gambling aspect is fun in and out of itself, but it's not really fun when the odds are stacked so insultingly not in your favour.

Poker games are also random, and you can't convince me a poker match can't be fun.

I really, really don't appreciate the direction GW has taken them in for the past few editions.

My argument is your don't play the game. Target selection, using your units correctly and efficiently, using stratagems at opportune moments, that is what wins games. You make choices based on the average outcomes. You don't throw a unit away hoping to make all 6s, you expect it to succeed with average dice, and even if it doesn't, you leave your options open. You don't over-commit, you don't under-commit.

there’s definitely multiple factors that could be at play, but why wouldn’t your personality effect what army you pick. if you decide to pick a non-humanlike xenos faction, then it stands to reason you won’t go into the same pitfalls many marinefags fall into and attach your identity to your army and thus become extremely sensitive to criticism of them.
>>
>>98628042
>You don't throw a unit away hoping to make all 6s, you expect it to succeed with average dice
That is my point.

The orks are dogshit because they are insanely swingy, and the payoff for them is just the regular outcome for other armies.

Alternatively, they just completely eat shit with no reward, and die the next turn to a mildest breeze.

>>98628034
I always thought gun drones were underrated, everyone took shield drones because you could hard-wire the drone controller and take two guns+multi-tracker, as the shield drones were picking up the slack of lacking a shield generator

ork more like gay
>>
>>98628008
To some extend yes. Maybe more so these days then in the early days of the hobby. In the days when most of the units in the ork army list had to be converted you'd only get a specific type of person not just willing to do so, but finding enjoyment in it.
And like the other guy said, if your own army can sabotage itself, you also have to be fine with improvising during the game. If you enjoy the process of playing the game as much as playing you can play this army. If you want more control and a competitive edge you'll take a different army.

It's a superficial stereotype, but not completely without basis. As with all things people have to use some common sense obviously, but that is in short supply on the internet.

I'll concur with this.
The only chill ork player I've played against was one that was actually bringing a competitive list.
All the others started off as nice enough dudes, really hamming up the waaagh meme, but it would usually devolve into them getting angry at dice rolls/match ups because they couldn't keep the meme going.

nta but i really like drones especially in the support sense, a strike team running around beneath a shield genny and laser pointer is pretty kino stuff

deployed by themselves though, they of course bring in a lot of guns as they're the ones doing the fighting
even for battlesuits a couple of support tenders is my preferred aspect, the suits are the weapons.

i wonder if the tau afford such reverence to their little instances of battlefield AI that the notion of strapping a bomb to one and ukraining shit is out of the question

Thank you, exactly my point.
It's not fun nor funny to see someone seethe over shit rolls in their shit army.
It's fun to have a mediocre army that can punch up, or to see elite troopers completely fumble their rolls once in a while.

Orks doing the whole "wojak seething behind a smiling mask" is just fucking cringe.

While I think Orks are definitely looking like a powerful army, I think the bigger issue is that they're going to be a lot harder to play now for what was ostensibly supposed to be a starter army and what has traditionally been a very easy army to get started with.

For acolytes the chitin covers their entire arms and legs except for their hands and foots, and it should reflect the color of your patriarch. I think they need to be of separate color than the bare hands and foot, something more solid and stands out. Purple tint can work for the hands and the foot but not the chitin. Or that's at least how I painted mine.

That's why I wanted the purple tint, to give them flesh colored-chitin, with some influence from the patriarch.
The aim is to have a gradient across the army. The Neophytes are human, the Acolytes are mostly human, the metamorphs are mostly nid, then the abominants are fully nid.

I'm actually painting a marine in orange, got the DoW box and using an Eradicator as a test model. I lent a few colors to a friend so it has come to halt but I'll pick it up soon. Maybe I'll do an orange legionary as well but it's such a miserable color to work with. Made the mistake of applying it over black primer once and it took me at least 8 layers to cover it fully.
>>98628448
Acolytes are still very much Tyranids, that's why they hide until the day of Ascension. Even the third gen Neophytes aren't fully human so they're not exposed to outside world that much. Aside from the 4th gen Neos, everyone got thick carapace on some parts of their bodies.
Aberrants are weird, they're just juiced up Neophytes but can go any direction.
They're ultimately your models but if you want some "lore accuracy", carapace that shit up in some solid colors.

When I said human, I meant human looking for the neophytes. I should also be clear that what I want for the Acolytes isn't for them to be flesh, but have flesh colored carapace.

Sprue terrain would be much better served as beams in a more improvised ork/chaos-y structure than a wall like that. You'd just have to make panels to go between the beams (paper/cardstock, cut up soda cans, plasticard, etc) and add some welds (intentionally putting too much glue on the seams) or rivets/bolts (little nubs made out of literally anything; I've used toothpicks cut into tiny bits, a glob of glue, and the starting line off of a 3d print I cut into square bits glued on).

Meta question, but after all these years, editons and mountains of lore, has it been clarified what The Warp (not just Chaos) actually IS?
As in, is the Jungian Collective Unconscious? Is the Afterlife? The Dreamlands, ala Lovecraft? Is the anti-reality, where everything that cannot possibly exist resides? Is it the plane of magic? Or is it just the galaxy's collective tulpa? (Or is it all of the above?)

I've done it too and am actively doing it, I'm sitting on like 600 points of guard units that are in varying stages from "wheels detached so I can paint them separately" to "wholly unopened" next to a a HH Leviathan starter box I'm going to turn into Ashen Claws.
However, I always make a point to myself that I can spend x money, but after that I can't spend more until I complete my previously started projects so I don't have things tied up taking up desk space. It's a habit I picked up from having no money as a kid, and it's very useful so I never waste money on things I can't handle.

I made this copypasta, but there’s been a few developments like him revealing he was banned 90 times (via a screenshot of a ban message personally
written by mod), and now through counting we’ve been able to gather he’s been banned 200+ times. this should still give you a quick rundown.
An actual NEET redditor that has gotten banned from his LGS and reddit like 8 times in a row because he put obvious nazi themed decals onto them in an attempt to "own da libs" on reddit.
After the bans came here and boasted about how he has gotten banned from reddit so many times, when people here noticed the decals decalmutant acted all dumb and pretended not to know. Only for his mask to slip not soon after showing he intentionally did it to rile up people, but then going right back to acting coy.
One time he put in a tripcode which proved to everyone that he spent like 12+ hours posting. He then removed it because most people instantly filtered his trip code so they wouldn't need to see his models or posts. He also has a habit to intentionally modifying his images so he could get through filters.
One time an anon made a discord server to get away from how shitty the board has become, so decalfag joined and nobody likes him there either. He also then tried to get the server to raid these threads and they told him to fuck off, not sure if he's still there.
His major antics then started when people here started a Fridge where a guy put people's models here onto it as a funny community project, but do this his retarded behaviour and unwillingness to change he got perma banned from the Fridge (he has been given at least a dozen chances to redeem himself, like telling him to stop posting for at least 1 week, he failed within 24 hours).

There's also a monthly community painting theme called the collage, that he is also banned from because the owner has seen all the shit decalfag had done and doesn't want to deal with him or reward him.

Incorrect. A server was made to get away from him. He tried to join and was instantly banned because he is an idiot that tried to use the same pics he's posted in the thread 1000000 times.
He tried to post the rekt space wolves collage on reddit to get reddit to raid /40kg/

On the other hand, he clearly has mental issues and excessive narcissism that prevent him from learning from his actions or improving his behavior and I can't feel anything but the most contemptuous pity for him.

Also, I never used MD5 image filtering before him. Now I have over 100 MD5s on the list, all from him.

I was finally able to email some pics from my phone, so here's some slightly better pics of my first attempt last week. Thanks to all anons who gave me helpful advice, my Vallejo paints came in and I finally got to use them today and they really did help a lot, especially for a newfag like myself. I like the white primer a lot, it makes it easier for the color to come through in fewer layers. Obviously there's still a large skill curve I gotta climb, but I'm having fun with it. Spent 4 hours painting 3 minis today and only got them partially done, but it was way easier with the Vallejo paints, and whenever the e-mail comes through I'll post what I did (but it might not be until tomorrow). Again, thanks to all the anons who offered me advice, some of you guys are pretty cool.

acrylic that's brought to a proper milky consistency and plays around nicely with surface tension and capillary action typically must be slathered on in a thinned state with two or three or more layers depending on what the underlying tone or hue is
there's no way around it as otherwise you're working with paint of such consistency that it's going to start obscuring and flattening the details of the model underneath with how thick it is
multiple layers of relatively transparent acrylic, all thinned so that their thickness overall is insignificant at the end, result in a relative opaqueness when all is said and done
a lot of people loathe the painting as a whole in this hobby because they don't have the patience for it and no small amount is needed
in terms of things needing to dry before a second or further coat is thrown on, just develop a habit of making your way around a model and focusing on other shit to kill time and allow it to dry before coming back in a few minutes or whatever
you don't wanna ever stick your brush into a still-wet coat of paint as the bristles will literally shear the paint off and introduce bad texture with the flecks generated

ok that's all very helpful. I guess I wasn't waiting for it to dry long enough because it was starting to fleck off and mix as I tried to put another layer on. next time I'll do more minis at once, doing them in rotation so that they have more time to dry.

Bro, brush control. Are you bracing your hands? Are you using an appropriately sized brush? Are you holding the brush like a pen, close to the metal bit? Blu tack the models to something easier to hold so you aren't desperately holding on to the base.
Like >>98629045 said, those models are screaming for a wash or darklining.

>>98629111
>next time I'll do more minis at once, doing them in rotation so that they have more time to dry.
even just splitting a marine down the middle i find pretty adequate for flow in going back and forth, while the coat on the right pauldron dries i'll move to the left or whatever, down to the leg if a little while more is needed
being miserly about wasting paint in swapping it around and wanting to use everything on a brush once got in the way of my enjoying it but i've learned to be more liberal
typically there's a few places on a model where one of its primary colors goes, one way or the other
>>
oh and acrylic that's yet a little damp can be added to pretty effectively but you've just gotta be very, very gentle in letting the paint flow from the brush w/ minimal and feather-light contact

the "two thin coats" meme guy basically said to just paint it whatever you want it to be mostly colored because you can always paint over it after
>being miserly about wasting paint in swapping it around and wanting to use everything on a brush once got in the way of my enjoying it but i've learned to be more liberal
interesting, I was concerned about wasting paint, but it seems like a lot less of the Vallejo paints goes a longer way
>typically there's a few places on a model where one of its primary colors goes, one way or the other
I'm having trouble not hitting different parts that I don't want to be painted with the brush while I'm painting the part I want. the most frustrating part is that it seems too transparent when I'm laying it on.
>>98629138
yeah I've gotten a lot better in just 2 sessions with just keeping the paint on the very tip of the brush and twirling it into a fine point before I start applying it.

To expound upon this;
Painting is a lot like long distance marksmanship
You want your elbows close to your core, your breathing slow and steady, and your wrists, arms, and (if possible) upper body rested on as much sturdy matter as possible. My best painting is done with my lower back against the chair, my elbows resting on the chair's arms, and my wrists on the edge of the table.
Your first 10 minutes after you sit down suck so do the easy parts firsts until your breathing and heartbeat adjusts
>>
>>98629156
yeah but it's pretty disheartening when I apply 10 coats and the primer is still showing through
>>
>>98629159
Blue board, enjoy the future ban you depraved fuck.
>>
>>98629162
damn that's intense, I paint in bed so it's not ideal for bracing my elbow or whatever but my heart rate and breathing are pretty relaxed. I got one of those magnifying lights to clamp onto my nightstand too, and that really helped with the light and being able to see how the paint is applied.

Blue tack the model's base to a wooden dowel or pill bottle or something else that fits comfortably in your hand that is easy to hold. Brace your brush hand's ring and pinky finger against the handle or some part of your other hand. The advice in this video applies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqp76vAJu9g
And to thin your paints https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBDVPoNXyVI
>>
>>98629164

point is ultimately just to never throw paint on from right out of the bottle w/ standard pigment because that's caveman shit

Thanks anons! Here's the other side for the sake of completion.

fucking gorgeous job
if i dare to maybe render a suggestion though, only because i think it could be done additively
how does the notion of a bit more of a deliberately cartoonish and stylized sort of flame pattern on the thrust bits strike you?
i'm not exactly sure what to reference specifically here but it might be a really funny flourish to it all if you found something you liked

If I only have 2 DP to work with a Castellen and 2 armigers which detachment(s) would you choose?
>Valourstrike Lance
Or
>Dominus Foebreakers
>Throne-bonded Outriders
>>
it's a pipedream that red corsairs are getting anything beyond maybe a token character in the next few editions right
I'd love to build a renegade force with their infantry sculpts but there only being 5 poses with really particular mashes of armor really limits what you could do to make a 1k point list with them, remove/altering the loincloths and swapping arms/heads for other kits only can do so much to make squads look different

Ironic really

Assuming youre still only gonna be paintimg in bed, the buggest help immeadiately would be to find a way to brace your painting arm elbow so you have more brush control, pic rel, like other anons have already said. Got one of those laptop surfaces that has a cushion that can rest on your legs? Might work. Your brushes might a the next biggest factor (besides time/experience) post your brush selection you know exaxtly what youre doing flaunting yourself, not complaining, but id hate to see ya banned or sumtin

>Got World Eaters Combat Patrol
>Wanna make my own warband instead of just copying like I did with my Ogors
>Don't wanna do red as the main colors as that's just basic as shit
>Don't wanna do yellow as I already have an Iyanden army
Should I do orange, with the trim being a metallic red, and the lenses yellow instead? Make it all firey?

Thanks anon, but aside from removing the little bit of remaining enamel wash that I just discovered I missed thanks to the camera zoom, I think I'm happy to with it as-is. I've got some new Warbikers to move onto next.

BRONZE ARMOUR WITH BRASS TRIM
ARMOUR OOZING RED ICHOR
EYES OF FIRE
BLOOD DRIPPING FROM THEIR SOCKETS
CURSED BY KHORNE FOR COWARDICE, THEY ARE MELTING INSIDE, PERMANENTLY AFLAME TO THE TOUCH
Based with flaming skeletons of guardsmen that exploded when touched
EXPOSED HEADS ARE JUST SKULLS THAT ARE ON FIRE AND SCREAMING (important) (or they're melting and you can see their flesh on one half and skull on the other half)

I still don't think having gut visible is a b&able offense, as long as it's just in the background. It's not like my dick and balls are hanging out of my shorts. I mean, they are, but I kept them out of frame. As for your advice, I appreciate it. I don't think my main problem is shaky hands though, I'm lazy. I'm lazy, so I rest my elbows on my thighs when I'm painting anyway. My biggest problem right now is technique, I'm trying to get down how much to water down paint, how much of it to have on the brush, twisting the tip before using it to apply detail, etc. I rewatched the two thin coats meme guy's basics video and he makes it look so damn easy, but they're the kinds of things that you can really only feel out for yourself through trial and error.

No one cares about SS runes
It's his personality that would make him insufferable to be around, like that death guard player who had autism and mixed shit into his paints

>>98629587
its just weird to me i mean theres literally wwii tabletop games like konflict 47 that they would not stick out in
like if you want to play as the nazis there are games where you can play as the nazis
wont bring it up again as its pointless was just my 2 cents of what was said earlier

>>98629601
how the fuck do you let some dork shadowboxing during the game get into your head to the point he nearly perfected you lmao
>shit in paint
oh thats nice

>>98629594
Wait no, not cut off the sides of their helmets. Instead carve off the World Eaters symbol, cut it in half, carve out the middle part, and put the jaws on their foreheads.

Gundam is gay as shit and made for kids.
