GRAND REOPENING!

anons, the website i made is done and is in a relatively final state for now, there might be a couple loadout errors specifically for the units with like 20 units or something somewhere but everything is in and it's all working and cleaned up. I had a major problem trying to wrangle the fuck huge games workshop 40k database into something legible and in the end i had to cut everything except current legal miniatures, so no legends or narrative stuff. It is too much to manage and keep updated especially with how GW is hackin and whackin and smackin at their catalog.

I might revisit legends at some point in the future or expand into other tabletop war games later on.
After this I'll probably make the phone apps and if i get support or interest from 40k tards i might expand into an actual full on battle simulator and release it on steam or something.

anyway please give it a go now and tell me if you see any loadout errors.
Also there is a secret 4chan theme, click on the theme drop down and when it is open type clover on keyboard

>that Rogue Trader homage marine
I somewhat regret not paypiggying for it when it was available.
I've never painted a space marine as a guardfag but it would be nice if my first space marine was a "first space marine homage model." Maybe I'll try an STL remake so I can print another and another.

>does it factor in unit abilities

yes. weapon rules (blast, melta, anti-x, lethal/sustained/dev) are fully
in the math. datasheet abilities get parsed - automatic ones just apply,
situational ones ("while leading", damaged brackets) are toggles you flip.

parser reads about half of all ability text. the half it can't read is
never silently ignored - result gets marked PARTIAL and the ability is
listed as NOT APPLIED so you know exactly what's in the number.

you can also just create an attacker or defender and there is a customise button for additional customization and toggles like cover and half distance.

I've been using a light similar to that with the magnifying lens for about 10 years now and I really like it. I tried jeweler's glasses with the magnifying and light, but I really didn't like the weight on my head after hours of building or painting.
That was a great purchase that lets me magnify if I want, or just have extra light close to my work area if I don't need the magnification. And I don't have to wear any silly contraption on my head.

I actually just had my first batch of recaster minis delivered. I thought I'd been had because I didn't get any more info other than a paypal receipt for about 2 months and their website went down, but Chang pulled through in the end. They are honestly really good recasts, it took a little cleaning up but there were no flaws or casting mistakes that I noticed. The only annoying thing was that they came as all loose pieces, so for one of the more modern sets I bought the assembly was a puzzle, but I imagine that's normal. Even the bases they came with have identical GW product codes stamped into them, go figure.

Now If only I could find one that made the 2007 Chaos Terminators, or an old-stock set that wasn't I KNOW WHAT I HAVE OOP RARE NIB RARE NO LOW BALLERS priced, I would be so happy.

I have AK wargame small pots of dark earth, concrete and asphalt because I can't see myself making big dioramas. With that said even their smaller pots are still great deals.
And their plague ground (green paste) makes me ponder if mixing a dark green paint with their neutral texture for earth or rough terrain could work for bigger moss effects. Never seen anybody use those for that.

Assembling more terrain according to their retarded instructions. Wire would probably be useful to hold the whole fucking thing together, along with the clay.

Having the exodite terrain in the box would be better than slowly trying to get plasticard bits correct.

Motherfucking typhon had 270 dollars of models and terrain plus the cards for both teams, there are only 214 dollars of models in the exodite box, the exodite box only has one team's cards and the npo cards. I will not be gaslit by GW into believing that Exodite is worth 165 dollars while typhon was worth 175 just because the Exodite Dossier is a hardcover book. Greedy jew company stealing my terrain.

Yes, they are.
And "SOUL" is subjective. A few Necron characters pointed out the absurdity of the concept of soullessness diminishing them, since the Necrons are capable of love, passion, and other feelings without having a soul. For example, the ending of the Severed novella

Been working through the new Trukk.

I am not ashamed to admit this is a pretty nice kit by Ork model standards. It's no less mechanically detailed than the 4e one, goes together in a sensible fashion (aside from a bit of fiddliness with the axles but if you don't care to bother with the posing on that you can just glue all that shit immediately flat, though I recommend putting the tires together and on the axles first so you can have it at rest flat), and it looks like there's going to be a surprising amount of useful leftover bits once I'm done. I think my only objective complaint is I wish it was possible to have the cab and flatbed subassembled from the undercarriage just so all that stuff could be more easily accessed for painting and priming, and I thought it would be but the door panels for the cab actually connect directly to the engine block as well as the cab, and the engine block is hard-molded to the undercarriage (which is probably the only mechanical detail that feels strictly inferior to the 4e one).

Anyways, not to try and sound like I'm selling people on it, ultimately the kit is stupid expensive and I recognize most people aren't looking for this sort of appeal in a 65 point model they want to toss together 6 of in an army, but the 4th edition Trukk has always been my #1 favorite kit ever produced by GW (and still is, I just prefer the aesthetics of it over this new one), but my worry was this thing was going to be expensive AND feel cheaper than the old one in terms of build quality or utility for other projects and I'm pleased to find that's not the case. It's a higher fidelity model than the old one, with comparable build quality (with some give and take), and any misgivings I have about it I can recognize as personal preference for aesthetics.

I own 10, I bought duplicates of the track sprue on eBay so I only bought 5 kits total
My current 2k point roster is 9 Leman Russ (2 Demolisher Commanders, 1 Vanquisher Commander, 2 Exterminators, 2 Punishers, 2 Vanquishers)

If GW squats the Russ this edition I'm genuinely just done with GW forever. The Russ IS 40k for me, guard isn't playable without it.

First time those ads were useful for me. "Rotary Tool", what a weird name. They look like an overkill for plastic, but fuck me, it might exactly what I need. Anyone here used them? Should there be something I should know before getting one of them?

It's a handheld electric motor that rotates whatever is put in it, aimed at being used as a tool. What else do you want to call it for a generic term? It's just a purpose-built one (read: smaller) instead of a generalist one with a brand name like a Dremel.

I meant this
As far as I'm aware this is called a "Hand Dremel". It's manual and good for plastic minis, but terrible when I need to dig into resin. It's bits keep breaking.
"Rotary Tool" looks like this, but looks stronger, faster and is electric. It should work great to shave away excess resin and sculpt in it

Machinery produces vibrations. Vibrations work the screws slowly out because of physics.
Look around the thing, put the screw back in its hole, tighten it down, do a once-over for all the other screws in the thing. You should be tightening your screws regularly on machinery as-is.

I swear hobby people have never worked a day in their lives.

In 40k, are there any armies that hard counter another by just virtue of rules? Lets say for example, Grey Knights. Which I'd imagine are good against Daemons and what not. If you play Daemons into Grey Knights would that normally mean a auto loss? Are the rules so polarizing in this game that whole armies are countered in such a way?

I know this is GW trying to cram as much shit into sprues so they don't need to make as many and thus saving money. But the user experience of old ones is better.

>>98631361
I mean as a Grey Knights player it's not as skewy as few editions ago. Nowadays there's basically no anti daemon rules at all. Like one of our detachments has an anti chaos 4+ strategem but that applies to all chaos factions.

But yeah 8th edition for example. Yep Grey Knights were a straight up loss. Our smite was horrible against normal enemies but against daemons it would just murder them.

If GW knew what they are doing the new suits would not be called xv26 to begin with.

Why would Imperium reverse engineer anything. It's tech heresy for them to reverse engineer shit.

Well they aren't xenos at all even.
GW just shoved them into the "Xenos" section of their webstore because they are not going to create a separate tab for 1 whole faction.

Also in fluff votann are 100% abhumans, they are squats and squats are 100% abhuman canonically. The whole xenos bullshittery literally just comes from imperial officials and bureocracy tearing their hair out, because they can't accept that an abhuman civilization (unwashed, inferior subhumans) somehow managed to become a galactic super power on par with the imperium without the help of regular baseline humans, who according to imperial doctorine are superior, better and "purer".
The imperium wants to remove the Votann's abhuman status purely so they can more easily just genocide them.

The imperium is literally just trying to label votann as "true xenos" purely out of racism. It sounds ridiculous but that's what this basically is.

My new space marine chapter is called The Bitchass Niggas. They have extra tear ducts so they can cry 24/7, they sweat pheromones that make Tyranids and Orks want to rape them, and they have powerful magnets in their helmets so bolter shots always hit them in the head. Their armour is rose pink and their symbol is goatse.

He's sadly right.
Lamentersfag caught the ban hammer because they were a shitposter. They even admitted to and gloated about *intentionally* shitposting with pictures of their own models to lure idiots to start arguments with them. Ie. they were intentionally trolling, which is blatantly against the rules.
When I saw them say that, I lost all respect for them.

Also the jannies don't give out permabans lightly, you only get one when you're a consistent idiotic nuisance that the jannies have to constantly deal with.
Aka, just like decalfag, who had gotten the banhammer at least 99 separate times before they finally handed him a permanent ban.
Meaning you only catch a permaban if you're basically exhibiting lolcow tier behaviour.

Since a more than a year ago this general has been invaded by e-drama fags and their discord feuds. Their posting style, and their focus on offtopic bs and non-40k pics are a giveaway.
And these are not just retarded nolife zoomers. They do it on purpose to shutdown any actual 40k discussion. They samefag and mass report anybody that outs them, and shit on anybody trying to talk about anything else.

Just look into any random thread in the archives from years ago. The difference it's obvious. Sure, there was shitposting, bait, coomers, autism, fanboys arguing about their pet faction, you name it. But there wasn't this constant namefagging around non-40k bs and non-40k images. It's obviously coordinated.

>>98632072
mostly because dudes like the human fighter archetype, and factions like the guard are too squishy and weak to convincingly kill 3 orks single handed. it also has a lot to do with how much they promote them though. pretty much every faction that gets a fraction of the attention marines get (through getting put in a starter box) immediately sees the playerbase skyrocket.

I know but that's not happening because it requires 2 different its to build the unit and GW really hates that now. But adding 3 weapon teams to your command squad blob equals to the same amount of weapon teams we had in such a unit in 9th. Instead of support, which doesn't let you run weapon teams on their own, something like marine ATVs in bike squads would also achieve the same thing.

I feel like everything you said could go for other factions too. It is just GW doesn't put those other factions front and center unfortunately. What I don't like about Marine players though is that all of them want their own specific "donut steal" faction to have representation in rules in some way. In the past they even did rule books for different chapters right? No Xenos faction will ever in their lives ever see a faction specific rulebook for them. For all intents and purposes to GW, all Necrons are the same faction rules wise for example

The basic Sisters of Battle squad requires you to buy a box of Retributors to build it with a Multi-Melta by cannibalizing the Retributors kit. The multi-melta is on the Sisters of Battle data sheet, so they clearly don't care that much.
This directly goes contrary to your claim, so they're either holding a double standard at best or half-assing everything at worst. I know the answer to this is "both at the same time."

Thing is they really hate that you don't use every model in the kit which is why IG squads and ork boyz now get 2 sergeants and 2 nobz if you make bigger squads. So I think they'd be fine with going the ATV route since it doesn't leave 2 weapon teams leftover.

As a turbo grog who played every edition I will defend 3rd as "original 40k" because the same writers and designers who did Rogue Trader were still working there and in charge of it. It wasn't until 4th that most of them had left, and the beginning of 4th was still good because it was the last stuff they had written before leaving, just published after they were gone. You can viscerally feel the transition to corpo slop halfway through 4th edition in both codexes and white dwarf magazine.

The space marine fantasy is a safe outlet for all that territorial xenophobic aggression which is completely natural for us to feel, and combining it with being nigh-unkillable supersoldiers is like mixing caffeine and crack for the male brain chemistry.

It's also why leftists pushing for female space marines are fucking retarded and short-sighted, it would remove one of the final safe outlets for that and lead to even more young men just getting fully radicalized in the real world instead of venting that with make believe games of plastic toy soldiers.

Indeed.
Consider the original RT cover, and all the variants on the same theme since then.
It's not just about power. The draw for males, the actual fantasy, it's to be part of a group of ride or die bros.

Mind you some bases can definitely still be dioramas, especially for important characters, but those don't need to be bigger in size. And if they really wanna let their artists loose to make crazy diorama bases, FW had that figured out with the primarchs having a big ass scenic base and a gaming base that slotted into the scenic base. Not sure why they stopped that and now we're stuck with shit like Asmodai, the regular powered armour dude that would fit on a 25mm or 32mm base on a 60mm base for no fucking reason.

Because marines can sell 30 different kits with different weapons in each. Other factions can't. They need to sell a minimum number of every box to justify making it, and if they can sell more than that number they should make as many variations as possible. Basic economics.

The second class factions still need to be able to do everything marines can, so they get combined into generalist units.

Also the old shitcast model got it sent to legends last edition (maybe was 9th, dont remember). So its a return to a unique unit that was out of commission for a while.

What has that to do with giving assault intercessors an eviscerator like death company already can use? Giving a couple meltas to the jump pack squad isn't a specialist role either.

what kind of squad? I’m just going to paint a tactical marine like a minotaur (but he’ll have a mk7 head because my beloved beakies must be used sparingly).
it’ll be a nice change of pace because the majority of my collage entries have been dioramas.

Ultramarines truly have such great potential. Tyrannic War veterans need a new kit ASAP or an upgrade sprue containing bits for the Sternguard.

It's clearly a power sword that's using a tyranid bone sword as the blade based on the cable you can see on the hilt.

Anyone here play Kill Team? How is it compared to full 40k?
>>
>>98632503
Well if you want xenos then yeah HH is not for you. But calling it soulless just for that is disingenuous compared to modern 40k.
Rites of War alone can make much better thematic armies than any 40k detachment

Its a different game but its alot of fun
I prefer the alternative activations
Games generally take less time
Its alot cheaper to get into also
I play it every other weekend or so

Gay as shit. Orks got a bunch of powercreep upgrades ahead of time to deal with T5 marines and got the horde aspect literally ripped from the army for it, S4 T4 was basically what the entire game was balanced around so why the fuck do we have to go to S5 and T5. 3rd-7th did just fine with T4 W1 marines, and T5 no longer causing S3 weapons to wound on 6+ has already given us a ton of granularity.

Squat Trikes, Land Trains, and other assorted Biker Dwarves in Space stuff could be fucking rad with modern model design and manufacturing. They'd be a great Good Guy counterpart to Orks.

Necrons raging at the world because they desperately want to be real again but the biotransference has left them without the spark that resides within soul-having creatures so all of their attempts at art and other emotionally driven things are never quite right no matter how elaborate and technically proficient they are is much better than "actually they didn't lose anything when they got turned into robots they're fine" IMO.
