I like space marines.
daily reminder leman russ sucks big red wolf dicks.
>>98637844Neither of those have anything intrinsically to do with new lore, but rather in spite of it.
i liek tau :DDD
KINDKOLOSSALKUSTODESKNOCKERS
>>98637885tau look so cool when they’re not fighting something three times their size.
Repostan since a new thread popped up right after I uploaded it
>>98637884If people truely didn't care or like anything about any of the new shit, then they would never bother buying it in the first place.
>>98637859obviously one cannot be happy about the 6 million copies of the Horus Heresy out there.I think its not reading. There's nothing there to be read. They're just an endless string of cliches and profanities. I cannot think that does anyone any good. People tell me, 'well at least the manchild is reading' to which my answer is, 'no the manchild is not reading'. That's not Childhood's End, that's not Hyperion, that's not the Time Machine by HG Wells or Isaac Asimov's Foundation. That's not really literature, it's really just slop and I don't think it does anyone any good at all.
about to get cracking on this adeptus ministorum kit, pray for me lads
Has anyone here bought from Dark Miniatures before? I'm interested in their tactical squad recasts.
>>98637890what are you doing putting together and painting yucky old defunct models anonkidding ofc, your marines look gr8
>>98637890cool scheme. they look even more knightly than they already do.
>>98637897cool schizopost.
I like Orks! :D
I like orks :D
Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98637917>>98637918>>98637917>>98637918
>>98637885Fire warriors are very cool but sadly gw prefers to give the time to shine to the battlesuits. Also the boring white scheme they always use doesn't help.
I got a cheap box of red corsair raiders so I'm painting one up for each of my friends in their favorite colors4 of them were easy to translate but one's favorites are mint teal and charcoal and I'm struggling to get an idea for it that I think would look good on his model
>>98637904>>98637905Thanks you, anons!>what are you doing putting together and painting yucky old defunct models anonI have a thing for those
>>98637935dank pewter bro
>>98637933>favorite colors>one's favorites are mint teal and charcoal what the fuck. I’d honestly double down on the teal part, make it the majority of the armor and the charcoal will be accents.
>>98637894You ask a primarisfag why they prefer those and 9/10 times the only answer is the proportions. None of the lore or design changes are attracting more people to them.
>>98637859>TQThat time an Inquisitor deliberately seeded an imperial world with genestealers, and waited until the GSC were almost ready to take over. Then he send one of his Interrogators, a woman, without telling her what was going on and tipped the GSC.Once she has been raped and become pregnant with an hybrid, the Inquisitor sent a clueless Deathwatch kill team to "rescue" her, and later the planet was Exterminatus to delete any clues. I picked up this book for the bolter porn and KT bro drama. Found way more than I was expecting. The marines are just another viewpoint in a tale of Ordo Xenos fuckery and rape, lots of rape.
>>98637952luv me marine-shaped paper weights
>>98637894You either argue in bad faith or are not intelligent enough to debate this topic
does your tabletop group usually play at someones home or are you the one who everyone comes to play atlast weekend i visited my flgs cellar to shoot some shit and watch few games and there were only those same 2 fat dudes playing magic like alwaysit was kinda sad
It’s so fucking stunning how absolutely out of place these fucking animals are. Gw should really do something about them because they have no place in the setting, same for drukhari too.
>>98637970>those same 2 fat dudes playing magic like alwayssoulmates
>>98637959>>98637966You're just in denial about primaris now being the "space marines" for 99% of people since 8th.The old ones are nothing but a curiosity like RT beakies were for midhammer players.
>>98637962>Milord Inquisitor Dumbfuckus, how does this convoluted xenos rape scheme aid the Imperium in defeating the insidious xenos?
>>98637935>Sevrin Loth model in an Astral Claws forceKidding of course, ace army you're got there anon. I'm planning to make a Red Scorpions army for 4th edition once my Eldar are done, the Badab War books have got to be the best campaign material ever released for 40k.
>>98637990>Aid the Imperium!?
>>98637970Fat basement dude here.We wish you would turn off the lights and leave already so we can go back to kissing.
Question about Dark Admech. Do they Worship the Omnisiah also in their own way or do they basically have nothing to do with the Omnisiah? Next, as far as how they might look iconography wise, do they carry the same icons and decals as like regular Admech? If they don't, what do Dark Admech insignias normally look like or represent?Reason I ask all of this is because I want to use regular admech troops to make a squad of Dark Admech to see how it would come out. But I really don't know much about them.
any scans of ork codex yet?
>>98637990Supposedly the Inquisitor had a plan to do somehow mess with the GSC life cycle. It's not fully explained, and left for a sequel
>>98637983I'm not in denial I'm saying it's a manufactured situation and it was completely unnecessary because every newfag would have bought upscaled firstborn with no other changes outside of proportions just the same.
>>98638003Dark Admech largely abandons the Omnissiah as they see it as a hinderance to shoving daemons into machines to make them deadlier.
>>98638003The Dark Admech are fedora tippers who laugh at the Machine God as being obviously bogus because the Emperor tricked them a long time ago into thinking he was the Omnissiah, which was a massive mistake because the smarter members of the Admech figured out he was duping them and decided to raze Mars and rebel against the Imperium because of it. >Next, as far as how they might look iconography wise, do they carry the same icons and decals as like regular Admech? If they don't, what do Dark Admech insignias normally look like or represent?Skulls, bionics, etc. but spikier and daemonic
>>98638019ermmm darth vader helmets tested poorly against the sensibilities of little timmy's mom so they had to move away from that in popular depictions of astartes too ;^3
>>98637983>You're just in denial about primaris now being the "space marines" for 99% of people since 8thNo, actually that's exactly my point. No one gives a fuck about Primaris lore. It's ignored completely in favor of the quality older stuff. The average player just treats them as upscaled old " firstborn " in their understanding of the setting.
>>98637966Saying that people wouldn't buy a product if they truely didn't like it in some way, isn't bad faith arguing, it's just objective fucking truth.What kind of a fucking idiot buys shit they actively dislike?
Has there ever been a planet that survived Exterminatus?
>>98638019GW scaled up Mk7 several times since RT. A classic marketing principle is that a new product is more desirable, and has more buzz than just incremental upgrades. It seems that it worked very well for GW.
>>98637979>It’s so fucking stunning how absolutely out of place these fucking animals are. Gw should really do something about them because they have no place in the setting
>>98638047pür sovl
>>98637979yeah aeldari are a little silly but its a legacy army man you can't really just squat it as this point
>>98637953I tried the inverse at first but the bright teal just didn't hit right I don't think
>>98638032>It's ignored completely in favor of the quality older stuff.No it's not. Nobody cares abnout the old lore either. This place is an extreme outlier due to midhammer players and hipsters being overrepresented.
>>98638046>GW scaled up Mk7 several times since RT.Every marine since 1998 to 2017 had the exact same size and the kits were near indistinguishible. So no, tha'ts wrong.>It seems that it worked very well for GW.Yeah every single faithful update sells like hotcakes without having to pull a primaris.
>>98637979You're right, Dark Eldar are full of the edgy whimsy that modern 40k lacks
>>98638062>Every marine since 1998 to 2017me when I lie
>dad what was it like when GW finally phased out the last of the firstb*rn midgets?
>>98637980>>98637999not even joking when i say i have never seen them move from those seats even to the bathroommy flgs gives keys to trusted customers so they must live there, imagine coming to work and the shop already smells like sweat and farts
>>98638032>It's ignored completelyHardly because people still keep buy and making primaris shit first and foremost. Also ironically enough, primaris have very little fluff to themselves specifically actually.All of the Ultima Founding chapters, ie. marine chapters that are 100% primaris since their inception, are quite literally like 1 sentence footnotes that GW hasn't anything with.And basically have 0 characterization, 0 named characters, 0 relevant fluff or even relevant appearances in recent in-universe events. Like if you asked me what things the Salamanders successor Dark Krakens have taken part in, I wouldn't be able to tell you because basically none exist, besides maybe some irrelevant Black Library book that I have 0 interest in reading because in general I have 0 fucking interest in Black Library and its shlock.Like yeah, no fucking shit that majority of people, even primaris fans, flock to shit like Blood Angels or Ultramarines or other relevant chapters when the said fucking factions have like 40 years of lore, books and stories behind them that you can enjoy.
>>98638079don't repost your shitposts when they get no attention
>>98638079Permanent means permanent
>>98638047Going from 1980s Hollywood wolfmen in scavenged armour to... whatever the fuck the current ones are supposed to be is one of the all-time biggest downgrades in 40k history.
>>98638083shut up >>98638091not your tranny lover
>>98637970We play in my basementMy house is the biggest out of all of us and has the most open space for a table and whatnot because of it.My "group" is 3 friends I've had since middle school; we play narrative games instead of tourney-style games, it's a lot of fun ever since we kicked out the one guy who refused to let any of us proxy anything (but we *had* to let him proxy), actively cheated when he thought he could get away with it and called us all narcissists when we tried to get him to stop without us cutting contact with him.My favorite narrative game so far has been me with my 2k tank guard list allied with 1k of Necrons against one of my friends' 3k of Orks as a "city siege" scenario.
>>98638062What part of "since RT" did you don't understand?And the Space marine Heroes minis were also bigger than the 3-7th ones.A summary of (loyalist) SM scales over the years:>c100>RT beakies>Space Crusade>late RT/2e MkVII >3rd-7th>SM HThat was 6 different firsborn scales before primaris. None had the same impact.
>>98638073Yeah? There were 3 updates after 2ed. In 3rd, in 5th and in 7th. They looked the exact same and had the exact same proportions.
>>98637970We play at my place, built a couple 6x4 tables and have them easily foldable to store in my family room when people aren't hereMy new job's been a goldmine for growing my group, started getting a few people from the LGS since their tables were always taken by cardgamefags and then found out a bunch of my new coworkers have been interested in 40k and have been slowly building and painting their armies since
>>98638073Stop using that shitty website. It's useless, the comparisons are wrong
>>98638105This is so retarded I don't even know where to start.
>>98638030But muh Dark Laser!
>>98638107You might be genuinely blindThose are all different releases of tacticals between 98 and 2013 when their last box released and they're all different heights>>98638112You've been proven wrong dozens of times with this claim
>>98638047I mean even as a Space Wolves enjoyer, I agree those models fucking suck and Wulfen should just be deleted because the entire premise is retarded.
>>98638105Those updates made space marines their best selling range, with tactical squads selling more than entire other armies. Primaris didn't change that except that intercessors sell like shit.
>>98637979Post the official 40k aesthetic
I think I'll paint a rainbow warrior for the collage.
is warhammer still woke?
>>98638123nta
What would loyal Iron Warriors have been like assuming they never went Chaos?
>>98638125Femstodes are based
>>98638119>as a Space Wolves enjoyerPost models
>>98638133effectively no different
>>98638124Very cool
>>98638123
>>98638125Always was, chuddy
>>98638133Exactly the same but without the daemon engine stuff.
>>98638125Has anything ever stopped being woke once it is colonized?
>>98638125No, warhammer is asleep.
>>98638082False, several Ultima Founding chapters were given more background fluff than old ones that barely exist as paint schemes.
>>98638095wtf these are so good (by space wolf standards). what the fuck were they thinking?
>>98638122>Primaris didn't change thatDelusional. GW grew 4x since 2017
>>98637859Cool to see my wip in the OP. Should I give the space wolf an actual decent paintjob or do I give him the old >Limited slopjob?
>>98638133You already have a loyalist chapter full of autistic techs-cyborgs called Iron Hands
>>98638135I like Wulfen, they’re fucking sick.
>>98638151i remember holding those in my hand when they first came out and thinking this is the coolest shit ever maybe i should start playing the good guys
>>98638150Vgh... Warhammer has fallen...
>>98638160>worlds collide with a beautifully painted ork standing on top of a coffee stained wolfdefinitely the second one, that’s hilarious.
>>98638165Post a photo of yours then, convince us
>>98638159>primarisfag believes GW's entire stock market is primaris salesDelusional.
>>98638082>>98638149Another example. Pic related got their own WD Index Astartes article + rules, a custom decal sheet, and a novelYou're just out of touch
>>98638177You’re kidding right? The entire model is a train wreck, get your eyes checked.
>>98638159And have why any reason to believe that this happened entirely because of the unique charms of primaris interolocutors and other assorted fisher-price rejects?
I fancy orks.
>>98638187See >>98638091
>>98638179I don’t have any yet desu, I just like the idea in lore of being against inhuman ferocious beasts and having my own version of that to counter them.
>>98638184I didn't mention stocks.Marines are their number one seller, and since 2017 their sales increased to multiples of all the previous years since the start of 40k.There's no other conclussion possible.
>>98638177Cool, I'll go with that. I take it I can achieve it with whatever basecoat grey space wolves officially use and a liberal coat of agarax earthshade? It feels wrong but I guess I can do it.
Custards
>>98638201The conclussion is that 40k as a whole has grown, mostly because GW now has a marketing department and propoerly uses internet marketing, something they famously refused to do for a good decade. Only a retard would belief their entire growth is entirely primaris sales.
>>98638133There's like a quadrillion novels and rules expansions describing them as they were before they started buttchugging Chaos. They were doctrinally shit at everything and blamed it on everyone but themselves.
>>98638188Yes, deal with it. It's absurd to deny reality. It's not a matter of opinion, or taste.If you don't like it, though luck. That's what old editions are for.
>>98638206The classic one has way more aura, as the kids say
>>98638144So it is cannon that >The emperor was a Nazi and Space Marines are the Aryan Ubermensch>The emperor hates Nazis and eradicated them along with religions
What are we working on today?
i heard gw recently killed firstborn marines for 11th edition but did they give any lore reason for that the short answer pleasebtw not a troll and i dont follow the online community nor do i frequent /40kg/ on a regular
>>98638144Is it canon that every primaris carries a deadly virus that will kill them all in 5 years at which point the mass death of so many will pull Bligh's soul straight out from hell so he can rule GW with an iron fist producing qualiy armour rivercounting autism material for all eternity?
>>98638210>They were doctrinally shit at everything and blamed it on everyone but themselves.Wasn't that entirely down to Peeved Perty's retarded "oh woe is me, look how much I suffer for my work!" martyr complex?
>>98638208>something they famously refused to do for a good decadefanboy memelore. GW had been involved in online marketing since the 2000sPrimarchs and Primaris is the key change they did in 2016-17. Their compound success benefited all other ranges, sure, but they're the catalist and the driver.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98638217I'll be starting on the second half of my intercessor squad tonight.
>>98638226Brother they shut down their forums, their website had no user input, they locked comments on youtube and communicated exclusively via their shitty weekly white dwarf "magazine". What kind of revisionism are you trying to pull?>Primarchs and Primaris is the key change they did in 2016-17Delusional.
>>98638220They aren't removed from the lore, just the game.
>>98638198This kind of shows a misunderstanding of the lore on your behalf, or you're just okay with huge contradictions in theme. For a start SM are supposed to be questing knights, cold steel and fiery faith against the inhuman horrors. To turn into such horrors is a clashing of this identity, but also>condemn the TS and Prospero for mutations>but keep around your own hideous mutantsSpace Yiffs have no backbone and are massive walking contradictions in lore. THEN on top of all that they're awful models and their one defender in this thread (you) doesn't even own any
>>98638217decided I want to build some old(ish) stormboyz. unfortunately, I’m 99% sure these are resin recasts because plastic cement isn’t working, so I’m going to have to fuck with superglue.
>>98638149>several Ultima Founding chaptersNot even several. Only chapter that got this treatment was Silver Templars. Rest didn't get shit.Also even if GW did give slight more background to say 9 primaris only chapters, all of that shit would still completely pale in comparison to the original 9 loyalist chapters that existed before, simply because 40 years of fluff vs only 9 years at best (remember not all ultima founding chapters have been revealed by GW at the same time, Sally successors were revealed only like 2-3 years ago) is fucking staggering amount of material in terms of books and stories.Due to this simple fact, majority of people would STILL flock to shit like Blood Angels and Ultramarines regardless due to the sheer fucking density of material they have to work with unlike vast majority of primaris only chapters.
>>98638222>Cited for the Destruction of Enemy Land Raider and Predator TanksDamn, he's one hardcore motherfucker.
>>98638217Doing some green stuff work on my boy here.
SOVL
So will a white slapchop/zenithal help me painting pink or yellow over black? I'm not using contrast paints.
>>98638149>>98638185>broo, several primaris chapters got attention>literally only fucking 2 out of the like 30+ that existYou didn't prove me wrong, you just proved my point even harder.
>>98638246I always love those little tidbits.
>>98637979
I miss Matt Ward.
>>98638239All that happened for a few years while they revamped their organization, yet it didn't have a substantial negative effect in GW sales. They had flatlined and barely changed until Gathering Storm + 8th ed.
>>98638222Yes, but it is also cannon that they are the true Space Marines that the Emperor was trying to create and are the truest saviours of mankind
>>98638259I don't. I miss when Matt Ward was the biggest thing I had to worry about.
>>98638251How about don't paint yellow over black?
Dear James Workshop:Please make the Orks Christmas Battlebox basically this old box, but replace the Mek with the new model and maybe replace one of the Deff Dreads with a Gorkanaut/Morkanaut, and I'll buy two of em.
When people refer to some novels as "bolter porn", what are they even talking about? Obviously people aren't fucking bolters but is any novel that features Space marines "Bolter Porn"? OR is it a very specific kind of novel?
>>98638251why are you painting yellow over black on anything? It's the worst colour aside from white to be painting on top of black.
>>98638259>Spiritual Liege posting>fun to portray him as the ultimate boogeyman when shitposting>the stuff we were mad about wasn't even that bad in hindsightWe really didn't know how good we had it back then.
>>98638283It's basically the more SFW counterpart of "marine wank" with all the same connotations.
>>98638251i recently tried painting pink over black just for the kicks and i think it turned out alrightnot the most smartest way of doing things but there you have it
>>98638287Just think, someday in the future we'll be looking back on now and wishing we were now and only had to worry about the things we worry about now instead of the things in the future which will be worse than the now.
>>98638287>>98638297I don't even think it's that big of a deal looking back on it, considering that the blueberry boyscouts are supposed to be the ideal chapter anyways with nothing inherently wrong with them or their gene seed. No fucked up corruption or traditions that makes them tragic, they're the blueprint for being the perfect chapter against their cousin chapters in universe.
>>98638253That's actually a better proportion than many of the old ones. You also forgot about the Tome Keepers (WD's own chapter)Besides the classic ones, the Blood Ravens, and the FW chapters, Ultima founding chapters seems to have more lore that stuff like the Sons of Orar or online favourites like the marines malevolent
>>98638217Building Ork kits. New Boyz sprues are packed with extra bits. Admittedly the tradeoff is in the fact that they didn't need to provide full alternative arm options for shootas and sluggas individually, it still has extras for either, especially when building the three special weapons. But it's really nice to finish the main part of building a kit, look at a sprue and see a bunch of little accessories and trophies and such that I can use across multiple projects again, that just has been not the case for a long time.
>>98638283They mean it has a lot of battle scenes in it.
>>98638314You can tell when the sculptors really love the faction they're working on.
>>98638217nothing but i'm playing a game tonight
>>98638317Why are you playing at night?
I just hope at least one of the phobos detachments is cool, fun or good.
>>98638324I hope they squat phobos and gravis.
I'm bored watching a stream so I'm cutting and cleaning up spares on sprues so I can get rid of them
>>98638318with your mothers clitty. Then We're gonna play a game of cruasde.
>>98638328Already confirmed that's not happening
>>98638317>>98638332Calm down, Steven
>>98638308I know they're the overhyped poster boys and all but I've always had a soft spot for the Ultramarines, they were the first 40k minis I ever owned (bought from a car bootsale somewhere in the early 2000s) and I genuinely dig the whole Romans In Space thing they've got going on, wish they were allowed to lean into it more like the other major chapters do instead of being stuck as the default generic box cover dudes.
>>98637885>>98637888>>98637917>>98637918>>98637925Le XD
>>98638328More chance of a phobos refresh than squatting.
>>98638338They also confirmed primaris wasn't gonna replace classic marines. GW lies.
nobody wants to play 40k anymore so i had to steep so low as to suggest playing flames of war with the airsoft and war autists i knowwith some luck they love rolling them bones so much i can reel them in and get some new warhammer playerswish me luck
>>98638351>I hate ritualposters so much I'm going to keep giving them (you)s whilst filling the thread with more pointless posts!>that'll show em!
>>98638357why did playing 40k die so bad? was it the femstodes?
>>98638362He doesn't actually care, he just wants to shit up the general
>>98638366It was 10th being fucking dogshit.
>>98638366It didn't, stop believing doomposting retards
>secrets...
>>98638217Gonna touch up this guy's eyes and shoes, with my new brush then base the model and maybe assemble another agent
>>98638357>flames of warOr fuck wargames, embrace skirmish. Then they can expand to 40K
>>98638356I mean they confirmed it's not happening this edition. They don't lie that blatantly about the short term.
>>98637859>TQNot sure if it counts as a 'war' crime per se but leaving Shas'O Kais in a war simulator for 300 years while his body was in suspended animation so he could experience every single possible scenario that war could throw at him through 300 years of non-stop combat has to count. Especially since the Ethereals considered the entire test to be a success and have given the greenlight to make more like him.Which tbf he's basically the Tau version of a Custodes so...not a terrible idea actually.
>>98638370Right yeah sure but we don't have a resident shitposter, it's all just schizo delusions...
>>98638383Are you new to painting and do you want advice?
>>98638403Yes and yes
>>98638383judge holden lookin’ ass.
>>98638362ECKS DEECKSDEE
>>98638407You need to thin your paints. See how blobby the face is, and this spillover of gold from the trim to everything around it? You should only have enough paint on the brush, adequately thinned that you can horizontally wipe the brush along the trim and the paint mainly stays on the trim. If it's too thick and gluggy the brush with deposit more paint than you want and spill over like that. The other thing is that it's a fine beginner mini but lacks a few steps in the painting process to give it depth. Look up shading/washes and highlighting for the next thing to learn in your painting journey.
>>98638400Holy shit get over yourself you got outed as a shitposter yesterday and your response was "I didn't know you could identify me that easily I don't remember shitposting so much teehee" lmao
>>98638217I stopped posting models as no one cared
>>98638429Yeah, the paint thinning guide citadel used to have was very vague about actual technique. I can't seem to hit the middle ground where the paint isn't too thick but isn't so thin it isn't coming off the brush
Shitposter-kun you've been trying to declare me and a bunch of others as shitposters for ages now to shed attention off you, that's nothing new. Anyway yeah seems you've succeeded painting me as one so go nuts, keep trashing up the place
>>98638429Oh and I was going to highlight this guy, but I'm working with a limited palette and don't have a lighter red, that's also why the flame is purple. I mainly got these models to see how well I can paint faces
>>98638448post ‘em so I can see why.
>>98638450>>98638462"Milky" is often the term used for correct paint consistency but it is a bit vague. What brand paints are you using and how many coats?
>>98638450Thinning matters less than keeping the brush itself properly moist, and dabbing off excess paint onto some paper (not paper towel, they suck too much moisture from the brush) before painting the model. If paint isn't flowing nicely it's almost always because the brush needs to be rinsed and recharged."Thin your paints" is an old meme born of times when paints were far shittier and thicker out of the pot/bottle than they are now. It doesn't require precise instructions, and some brands break as soon as they hit a wet palette (pro acryl) so vague is the best you can get.
Someone fucking tell me where to move that has a decent warhammer scene where I wont melt the instant I go outside. I'll even move to fucking alaska at this point.
>>98638483>decent warhammer sceneBris->where I wont melt the instant I go outsideI'll shut up
>>98638489But no one wants to be near ratfag anon
>>98638450you will get the hang of it eventually by trial and error and repetition> the paint thinning guide dont just follow the guides take the main points and try them yourself
>>98638483Scandinavia, assuming you'll live in any of the capitals. You'll have to deal with browns though.
>>98638502As long as they arent indians. I have had great experiences with Nigerians.
>>98638502>ScamdinaviaIsn't shit super expensive through there?
>>98638512It's not expensive but many Americans would be shocked with smaller base salaries and also taxes that are around 50% higher than in the USA.
>>98638512You mentioned alaska which is one of the most expensive places to live on earth
Unironically how the FUCK am I supposed to win games as sisters of battle without all of my units getting shot off the table? I'm starting to think all of our infantry are pure shit and go completely vehicles.Seriously considering switching armies and shelving my nuns until their codex or buffs happen
Isn't decalfag from Alaska?
>>98638526Transports, Smoke, and Cover are your only hopes.
>>98638523>it's not expensive but you get paid less and taxed more!Uhhhh>>98638525>YouMeds
>>98638526>Unironically how the FUCK am I supposed to win games as sisters of battle without all of my units getting shot off the table?I dunno, have some faith why don't you?
GW goofed big this time
>>98638526>he plays that putrid dogshitPoint and laugh @ him, class. You are supposed to jerk off and put the models in the cum jar
>>98638535ah, you were just shitposting got it
>>98638476Using citadel, but just bought some army painter and two thin coats today. And I usually use about two coats, although I kept re painting the face because of the eye.>>98638478That might explain a lot, I've been using a paper towel to get red of excess paint from the brush. I switch to the styrene sheets I bought a while back.
>>98638507Not that many indians it's mostly allahu snackbars
>>98638533even worse, arkansas
>>98638483Lentons got a big scene. Don't know about nice but warhammer world is right there so.
>>98638544Paper towel is still very useful for quick cleaning, but finding the right material for dabbing is a shocking quality of life fix.
>>98638483You want to go somewhere with a high population of people who are affluent and nerdy, so try "literally any large city in the northern half of the US."You're not going to want to live in Alaska, there's like 50 total game stores in the entire state, most of them in and around Anchorage.That's a very nice area though if you want to live in the middle of fucking nowhere, the real estate on the Kenai peninsula isn't even *that* badly priced, you just have an hours' drive to the nearest pharmacy once you get out of Anchorage proper so keep that in mind.Try Milwaukee, Pittsburgh or the part of NH that's within an hours' drive of Boston as initial suggestions from me. Canton/Akron/Cleveland Ohio area is also very nice for games IME, but there's too many jeets in Ohio now so stay away.>>98638526You bring a bunch of bad meatbags to eat damage so your good meatbags can shoot the enemy with the miracle dice you generated off of the bad meatbags dyingYes it feels awful and no it doesn't math in your favor most of the time, it's the only way I've found to make it work currently.
>>98638538Chat is this real
will total war warhammer 40k bring people into the hobby like dawn of war did back in 2004there have been so many warhammer games in the past years you would think people are already getting sick of the whole setting like those marwel movies and star wars etc
>>98638542I'm not, just a third party stepping into the conversation. Thinking that everyone in a reply chain on an anonymous audio files forum are the same people is delulu
>>98638507The pajeets over here are decent enough to wear pink food delivery company vests at all times.
>>98638538Wow man, might as well link to the fucking reddit thread this talks about instead of a shitty discord screencap.
>>98638512No, Warhammer is pretty cheap here, and there aren't more or less ethnics here compared to any other Western cities. Not that would matter in the Warhammer scene; it's mostly well-off white dudes in the hobby here. Our taxes are higher, as the other anon said, but we have social benefits such as free university, etc etc.
>>98638571Not until they decide to give the IP to Disney so they can shit out a movie each year.
>>98638549Keep your trap shut about things you don’t know.
>>98638526Sisters are like eldar, your soldiers are fragile and short ranged, they live inside of transports.Rhinos and Immolators. Spam them or your infantry will never see the enemy.
>>98638549
>>98638549Nah it confirmed he left there, we now know it to be slumming out if a car in Alaska like that one movie based on a true story.
>>98638526Sacresants with a hospitaller and Junith is a solid brick. I usually play Take&Hold or PrioAssets so having a brick for the center is important. I usually support that brick by shooting at stuff that is going after the brick with Castigators and Vahl. Putting Immolators in front and Castigators behind gives you your little bubble of no cover, +1 ap, and Vahl shooting. Here's a pic of the brick surviving like 1200 points of nids shooting.I usually have 2-3 Immolators, 2 Castigators, 1 Exorcist, and 1 Vahl goon squad for vehicles. Most of the rest of the Sacresant brick and battleline for scoring. Here's some stuff that I find works https://www.newrecruit.eu/app/list/5c7K4SoB are just one of the worst armies right now so don't worry about it too much. I'm a contrarian so I like playing one of the less popular and less good armies in one, where every decision matters and you have to think harder and even then you're still going to lose most games against equal players. I have some marines and nids for when I want to just relax.
>>98638571It will bring in tourists who were already vaguely interested, who will then see the pricetags on the models and thus they will remain on their video game/audiobook (they never actually read, it's always audiobooks with these people) plantation, leaving us at a net zero.
>>98638581Ah right, good to hear it from the horse's mouth. I'm no mutt and so I'm used to higher taxes and social benefits, but our exchange rate for Scandinavia is really high so it's expensive for us to holiday there and would be really initially expensive to move over there, as much as I'd love the weather
>>98638601Have you seen what adult children pay for "merch" these days? GW won't scare many of the employed away.
>>98638601an audio book is triple the price of a regular book so I have no idea why you'd choose the latter
>>98638328Phobos is the one that can stay; it's the only one that wasn't trying to replace anything, and it can exist alongside scouts
>>98638613Doomer's gonna doom. It'll bring in some amount of new players, who knows exactly how much of an impact that'll have but depends how good the game is probably
>>98638617>what is piratingI know it's a lost art form with you zoomers but jesus
>>98638594I see, more fake stuff to add to the “lore” to confuse newfag nomodels.
Please bring back marine fliers, I want variety in my army not just marine but holding a different weapon
>>98638634Wdym this has all been confirmed. Unless the mutant comes out with an official statement of it's current living arrangements with hard proof, that's the latest update we know

>>98638650Melty?
>>98638651Pretty stupid for continuing to come back to a place where he's despised. What, you don't think it's an absolute idiotic moron?
>>98638613Correct, it won't scare away "collectors" but they don't play games either way, they just buy some shelf-warmers as decorations.The pricetag will scare away people who would be interested in playing, because they'll see that 10 guardsmen costs a bit under what their shiny new video game cost (and doesn't come with the rules, a play area, terrain, or the rest of an army) so they'll stick to the video game.That's just my take on it, at least. The people who are "collectors" would already be buying models to collect IMO, the game wouldn't even affect them all that much beyond maybe buying a specific model because "that's the one from the game.">>98638617>you can listen to it while doing other things>it doesn't take up space>you can get them for free (via fileshare/torrent or free subscription manipulation)>you don't have to actually read the thing because you suffer from an attention span disorder (that may or may not be self-inflicted) but can claim you didIt's like reading the wikipedia page for mechanical engineering and saying you're an autodidact engineering student.>>98638648Ferrus Manus because he's fucking dead and never coming backFuck primarchs and named characters, they should not be on most tables3e rule that you had to ask for permission to use named characters at all was the best way to handle them

>>98638659You must be fun at gay orgies.
>>98638647What's the idea for the double dude big base, is this going to be some sort of diorama? Or just showing off the two nice metal models?
>>98638648The answer is clear.
>>98638661That first one wasn’t me, I don’t insult modelers unprovoked.
>>98638633oh yeah i will pay what 60 dollars for a digital book when i can get the physical one that i can read while on my toilet for the same price for the rest of my life

>>98638687Rob, Lion, and half a dozen demon primarchs are alive and well in current lore. Plus a handful of others who are MIA but could return at any time.
>>98638659Warhammer and tabletops are so fascinating in this sense, all the tabletop games are directly competing with videogames with an ever-increasing share of the world's population is getting addicted to PC, while the share of tabletop-playing nerds in the world is declining. WH needs videogames for promotion and yet those very videogames are also eating the profits by providing an alternative way to play in the WH universe
>>98638679>what>is>piratingDid you even read my post? Who is paying 60 bucks for a digital book?
>>98638689how about you actually go on topic by posting models then? I’d still like to see the anon who insists on defending decalfag left and right.
I can’t come here for 5 fuckign minutes without some psycho trying to derail the entire thread, not gonna waste the rest of my Labor Day here with a few scumbags. I’m gonna go play some TFT instead and maybe some Marvel Snap with frens. Piss off.
>>98638648the dead ones
>>98638287I read the ward space marine codex possibly even cover to cover cause I used to do that back then when I was first getting into the universe. Buy codexes just to learn about the lore. The parts of the space marine codex people complain about were like 2 paragraphs out tonnes of dense pages of lore and art. It was overwhelmingly good, much better written than the average copy now. It was very ignorable. I assume its the same with the one paragraph in his Grey Knights codex.I also think newcron lore in general gets too much shit. I broadly agree with their instincts when they updated it. Tyranids already were the faceless thoughtless doomsday swarm threat. Necrons were a bit redundant in that way. Newcron lore when implemented and presented well largely maintains a good amount of the old appeal while making room for some characters and personality, which again isn't something every faction needs to have but they already have their faction defined by not having it. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of are the shards of the C'tan stuff. If something is this primordial material super powerful star god you shouldn't be able to break it into convenient arbitrary pokemon. If the thing is that they rose up and overthrew the C'tan then just have the C'tan be imprisoned in one piece as maybe a tappable power power source to empower given units remotely, but they're a single entity in a science prison somewhere and any power siphoned off from them is a cast off sliver of their actual power. Not a collared fragmented thing you can see on the tabletop
>>98638698It's particularly bad because the games are getting better in fidelity, gameplay, customisation. I grabbed the old DoW anthology back in the day but the rough grafics only made me want to get minis more since they looked nicer
>>98638659>because they'll see that 10 guardsmen costs a...No one getting into 40k from videogames is pricing up fucking guard, m8
>>98638695Are you under the impression that you're telling me something I'm not aware of?

>>98638727He’s gone so why are you still insulting him?
Is the problem with SoB that they're overcosted or underpowered?
>>98638648The schizoHe was so much of a schizo not even demons could handle him'luv him
>>98638732It's that they have cooties.
>>98638737trvke
>>98638731cause its funny. he’s probably still lurking, so its funny seeing him pop back again, or knowing he’s silently seething
>>98638726You got that last one wrong on purpose right?
>>98638732They're undercosted like half the armies in the game. They should not be a horde, they're in power armor, and they should have the performance to match that.
>>98638743how is he not cursed?
>>98638634>nomodelsYour detractors frequently post models
>>98638653>>98638656>>98638661Mad
>>98638740Anon this is how someone with an evil mind would think, do better.
>>98638714It was an exampleThey're the cheapest infantry unit in the entire game in terms of dollars (at GW prices). The point was the principle, not the specific item. You could say the exact same thing for any other box of 10 infantry, they're all equal, slightly above, or slightly below the price of a triple A game.
>>98638731>He>>98638749And yet the one lone decalfag defender has yet to show models, curious...
>>98638749to be fair, newfags are likely to not own models, and there was one self admitted nomodels who wanted a quick rundown. the oldfags however…
>>98638747Oh good. I was worried there for a bit.
>>98638761Every time I see my diorama posted I always kick myself for not making the crows stand out more
>>98638732They're both over costed and underpowered. A squad of battle sisters is 100 pts for t3 1w vs a squad of intersessors being 80 pts for 4t 2w
>>98638706Perhaps you'll learn from this experience (you won't)
>>98638776>4t 2w5t 2w, they got a new data sheet
>>98638217Just finished the first of my Guants Ghosts
>>98638675I'm out of 28mms and I want to paint both of them
>>98638248You should paint these guys up retro-style so they can make it into the collage.
>>98638706Master b8er
>>98638786Nah I'll save them for the joke collage
>>98638731>He’s goneYou're still obviously here
>>98638771damn, I didn’t even realize there were crows. not to worry though, rest assured now in my heart, I know there’s a bunch of crows pecking the space wolves eyes out :)
what do i have to do to get into the collage
>>98638783Why did you give him a gas mask? Also>hail from forest world>known for stealth>solid purple cloakNice painting otherwise
>>98638799Permanent means permanent pedophile.
>>98638598>like Soulstorm>Sisters are a dogshit faction there>transition to tabletop>Sisters are STILL a dogshit factionNice to see that DoW was keeping it faithful to the original. Btw, in Battlesector Sisters are quite poopy as well
>>98638799step one, don't be fecalfagstep two, paint up a project that goes with this month's themestep three, when collageanon makes the rounds to collect submissions reply to him with a picture of your project
>>98638804Please stop spamming this pointless message.
We're talking about you not to you btw
>>98638799If you are decalfag then you should know that there is no way for you to get on it. You had your chances.
>>98638801Just fitting the colour scheme in line with the rest of my Krieg and I like the look of the gas masks (the real answer is I suck at painting faces)Maybe theyre that good at being Sneaky it doesnt matter what they wear
What would make sisters a viable army on tabletop? Would giving them am army wide +1 T +1 S and +1 W be enough at their current points costs? Or would they still be shit?
>>98638821He doesn't even work on new models anyway so he'll never have anything suitable for the collage
>>98638799literally just paint a mini according to the general theme. it’ll always be in the OP but right now it’s “retro” so anything oldhammer or painted in the oldhammer style is on the table.once you do paint it, the last week of the month there’ll be “collageanon” who comes in with this image as an “anchorpost” to ask for submissions. you will then reply to his post with the model, and say “Here is my [month] collage submission”. and he’ll later collect them as soon as you post or from looking it up in the archive. there’ll also be a strawpoll for the next theme which you can vote on. do note the deadline is literally the minute before the day of next month EST, so you can post september 30th 11:59 PM and you’ll be safe.
>>98638761>newfags are likely to not own modelsAre they? I suppose someone new to the game might ask here before buying their first army, but it seems to me the order would be buy minis -> go to place to talk about minis.
Finished school, got a job, looking for an apparment, I might find motivation to paint before 2027
>>98638840kino, welcome back goodwolfanon

>>98638807i dont remember any of this then again i have only lurked /wip/ for over a decade and there might have been some heavy drinking involved
>>98638831>theyre that good at being Sneaky it doesnt matterThis is actually the lore accurate answer. Not sure how much you've read about the books but the character sitting in that branch there, scout master Mkoll is so sneaky he just shows up places, no matter what he's wearing

For being the most boring part of wh40k it's weird that humans are the most popular factions.
>>98638844Anyone who models is good in my book
>>98638837thank you anon
>>98638832They should not have better stats cause they're humansAnd they should not have stronger weapons because they don't use anything super specialSo the answer is to give them miracle powers that can influence the battlefield way more
>>98638483
>>98638801Would it be a mistake to give my Eliminators a bright White cloak? It's a part of my faction's color scheme, but they are a very brightly coloured army.
>>98638846Sir, this is /40kg/
>>98638863>Anyone who paints their own models is good in my bookftfy
>>98638885I mean that’s a given
>>98638862I kinda get what you're saying but>underdog story>generally more relatable>subfaction infighting is fun>larping as religious nutjobs can be fun>half of the players probably aren't larpingIs it really that hard to believe?
>>98638863No decalpedo, you will never be good
>>98638838more likely its someone who heard about it or read some secondary media, and so went on a forum to see what its like, ask advice, or just discuss the lore. then they MIGHT decide to pick up models. this is purely me speaking from experience of course, but that seems the most sensible route because the commitment of posting on a 40K forum is way less than owning models.
i wish i could be decal anon for just ONE day so i could receive an absurd amount of (you)s
>>98638881It's fine honestly, I just found the purple a little funny but see >>98638849A lot of the stealthers in 40K fall into "too stealthy gear doesn't matter", this is why we have marine stealth units. They know how to control their sound output, move through environments with such grace and fluidity they're not obvious, rather than outright just not being seen because camo. Imperial stealth units also use cameleoline cloaks which generate something of a stealth field aka invisibility cloak, it's not the actual colour/pattern doing the work
Buy the paypiggy edition please.https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/jfqdowqw/behold-the-most-impressive-codex-space-marines-yet/
>>98638862In most RPGs human Fighter is the most common choice. Normalfags gravitate to the familiar.
>>98638910I'll buy the command cards since it'll help me learn to use stratagems but I don't need the codex
>>98638882yeah i know and now im starting to regret forgetting that there might be some fun stuff to be found in this general too
>Horus Heresy>Dark Imperiumwhats the next big lore that will change the setting massively?
>>98638906>Imperial stealth units also use cameleoline cloaks which generate something of a stealth fieldNeat, I thought the cloaks were just able to change to blend in to their environment, didn't know they were actual invis cloaks (or similar)
>>98638832Nah I like that they're s3 t3, they're supposed to be regular humans with some good gear and faith powers.I would make them have better leadership. They're a ld7 army and even the named special characters are ld6. Marines are ld6, and their nameless generic chaplains are ld5. The army of fanatical weirdos who want to die in battle should be ld6.I would also give them points reductions pretty much across the board. Battleline, Retributors, Castigators, Exorcists, these are all worse than similarly costed and similarly performing units in other books. This would essentially be making them a horde army, but that is what it is. When everyone else is significantly better than you, you should be cheaper.And finally, the faith mechanic should be overhauled. GW over-values faith dice. When you do that math, using a resource to place a 6 in a pool of dice is actually worse than marines who just have rerolls on everything. I would rather have a unit rerolling all hits and all wounds than be able to just make one a 6...they hand rerolls out like candy and then treat miracle dice like it's worth every unit being sub-par without miracle dice.SoB maintain a 45% or so win rate, and if you look on listhammer they get a few X-1 or X-0 runs every week or so, so people are winning with them and so it's not THAT bad, but they're just slightly below most other books (or almost every other book) when they don't need to be. Stop over-valuing faith dice and just make things slightly cheaper, it's not that hard to fix.I liked the old system a few editions ago where you accumulated faith points, and you could spend them to activate a special ability of each unit, and each unit had their own. The downside was that you had to memorize/reference two abilities for every unit, but it was fun.I've been playing them since 4th edition and they've always been my favorite. I don't mind them being below average, but some buffs are always appreciated.
>>98638927The death of Slanesh
>>98638927the boy who became king getting off his ass at some point idk they ran the setting off a cliff with all this primaris and nu40k nonsense so it's hard to care about whatever for a story they want to tell
>>98638927The Imperium gets too fearful of Guilliman and his consolidation of power that it causes "The Guilliman Heresy" and a second civil war.
>>98638927The Golden Throne starts to fail (for real this time, trust me bro), and the Imperium invades Commoragh to obtain the copy of the golden throne made by the deldar
>>98638934>look it up on the wiki>is described as more colour shiftingWell I might be a bit off but still, mean what I said. I think it can be one of those things that depends on the author a bit as to how they exactly work, but yeah they're not just standard camo cloaks anyway
>>98638927Another civil war, probably because of the star child
>>98638936>I liked the old system a few editions ago where you accumulated faith points, and you could spend them to activate a special ability of each unit, and each unit had their own. The downside was that you had to memorize/reference two abilities for every unit, but it was fun.Perhaps they could use a middle ground and give each unit a way to buff it's ability using faith points. Using current retributors as an example:Reroll 1s or full rerolls if you spend a miracle point

>>98638996Depends. How tight is your bussy?
>>98638975my painting has improved significantly since my first practice army and models
>>98638981They're some of Abnett's earlier works and it shows. There's a point I think in the second omnibus where you start to sort of wonder how long all of the main characters are going to stay alive since he doesn't kill anyone important off for ages, then in one book you get a string of character deaths. Say what you will about Abnett in general, his latest stuff has much better quality of writing and pacing. Still, I have a real soft spot for GG, the whole premise and theming for that regiment is *chef's kiss*
>>98638974im not really into 40k right now but im sure i can find some motivation to whip up one cool retro dude
>>98639002Not really a fan of abnett in general. I like horus rising tough.
>>98638975This was my first model after returning to the hobby after close to 2 decades, was over 2 years ago. Think I've improved a bit since
>>98639017>HH-slopC'mon now, if you're going to read any Abnett it should be the Eisenhorn and Ravenor omnibus', in that order. Can probably skip Bequin trilogy, third book isn't out yet but it's pretty mahvel-ified
>>98639018Hey that is pretty good! This is my first model from like 6 years ago I think.
>>98638905It’s a hell you couldn’t even survive one day of
>>98639026To be fair rising is the least sloppy of them. I like it.
>>98639001Show us
Anyone know if scale wise, are the models ontop the same size roughly as the models on the bottom? or are the red ones up top shorter than the newer traitor guard down bottom?
>>98639035how does one recognize this decal anoni have been called him maybe 5 times this night alone and i dont even remember who he is
>>98639045There is no "decal anon". Only decalfag.
>>98638975I feel like I've definitely improved over time, these Kommandos were some of the first models I painted when I got back into 40k
When do you use super glue and when do you use plastic glue? I use plastic glue most times but I hear it has a weakness for gluing very small parts together or parts that aren't flat. Is that true? Prime example, the ball joint in the arms of necrons are circular. I feel like plastic glue doesn't work well for those. I could be wrong though.
>>98639035i mean i already post here so it couldnt be any worse>>98639045the type of word he uses for insults but at this point its probably just someone (or multiple posters) imitating him
>>98639053And here's where I'm at 3 years later. I'm probably gonna go back and redo those Kommandos so that they better fit the orks I'm painting now, but I'm still happy with how they turned out.
>>98639053i love black and red on orks
>>98639057>when do you use plastic glueWhen gluing bare plastic to bare plastic>When do you use super glueAny other time. It's that shrimple
>>98639064bad moonz yellow is better, proper orky colour
>>98639029And again 2 years later. My bases could do with some work but
>>98639057I never use superglue if both parts are susceptible to plastic glue.
>>98639057>Plastic GlueAny connection of plastic to plastic>Super glueAny connection to plastic involving something not plastic (Resin, brass, PLA, etc)
>>98639066fuck that, goffs for life
>>98639053damn. I want kommandos pretty badly but it is hard to find them. I imagine they got rolled into some other 40k box. I am unfamiliar with orkz
>>98639068Incredible progress
>>98639068Yeah you have definitely come a long way. good job.This is mine >>98639029and here is where I am at now most recently.
>>98639075simple as
>>98639076I got them from the old Kill Team starter set with the Veteran Guardsmen (Here's a pic of them too while I'm at it). They were a Kill Team release at first but got repackaged into a 40k box a few months back now that they "rotated" out of Killteam. They're a pretty popular box, it'll come back in stock.
>>98639066>>98639075please, please, there’s a reason why half the orks in this general are blue, and its not just cause its lucky.
>>98639076they were in the last kill team starter box which had guardsman and a bunch of terrain in it, was insanely good value, that box ended up being cheaper than buying the kommandos by themselves. they became very popular in 40k armies once they gave us the option to split the squad into 2 5 mans
>>98639045If you're genuinely new to this general, don't use the term "decal anon". Only the mutant (or possibly whatever shitposter is masquerading as him) uses that term, the rest of use something derogatory like decalfag/mutant. Also if you do any of the below there's a good chance you might get called out for being the mutie>defend primaris (gross)>suck off space wolves (particularly if also capitalising terms like "Marines")>exhibit any disdain for those insulting wolves>posting normie tier gifs/reaction pics (particularly on their own with no comment)
>>98639087And some more recently done Krieg stuff for comparison.
>>98639089>there’s a reason why half the orks in this general are blueyeah, contrarianism
>>98639043I own both WGA Damned and Traitor Guard.Love both kits, they basically have the same proportions but the WGA Damned have bigger heads.
>>98638975eh, I don’t think I’ve improved THAT much in the year and a half I’ve been painting. its mostly just me using highlights now that elevate me above my previous paintjobs, but I’m fairly certain if past me was brave enough he could pull off similar highlights.
>>98639104Hmmm! Thanks for doing this. I might pick up the WGA Damned then. I like how they look. I like how regular traitor guard look too. My goal is to make The killteam called Blooded. But the damned box might be overkill but it isn't bad value I think. I just don't play full scale 40k.
>>98639049>>98639059>>98639095got itand ive been around, dont even remember why i stopped lurking /40kg/ long long time ago but i will include it back to my daily rotation from now on
>>98639119all of that effort you put into ritual posting couldve been used to improve your painting skills anon
>>98638832Sisters are viable but not the infantry-based list.They need better shooting buffs. Marines and guard have rerolls, sisters have jack shit. There's a reason Vahl is in every list.Maybe give back 20-strong sister bricks.
>>986385264-6 vehicles are the norm for sisters.
>>98639137but I just like orks so much I can’t help it :D
>>98637962Makes you wonder if that Inquisitor was being influenced by Slaanesh. That's the sort of shit they would do.
Quick and dirty firstborn proxies for an Eradicator squad. Got distracted trying to repurpose my melta devastators after the squatting. I am NOT fucking proxying them for Desolators.Now back to my Hellblasters
>>98638938If Aos is anything to go by he’s going to be more prevalent to the settings than ever. Expect dark elves to be returning to both fantasy settings and a massive drukhari refresh.
>>98639089You have blue orks because you like blue. I have blue orks because I asked anon to consult his local peruvian medicine woman which colour was most favoured by the spirits. We are not the same.
>>98639040sorry for the late reply anon. left is one of my first models and right is one of the models ive painted this week
>>98639202Big improvement honestly nice work.
>>98639204tnx bro bro i really appreciate the compliment
>>98639202>mold line right down the legI may take too long in mini prep by going around every piece with a knife but I just don't get how people don't see them/do anything about them, they're so obvious to me it's painful
>>98638975its weird lately my top level talent has sort of dropped off while my speed and tempo has greatly increased. which is a fine trade off for me,
>putting models together>wanna give my guy a two handed weapon>can't line the arms up right>give up and give him two one-handed weaponsI suck at every aspect of this hobby
>>98639173>decalfag procrastinates painting hellblasters>random anon refuses to paint his secondhand blood raven hellblasters>copper shoulder anon procrastinates painting hellblastersare hellblasters just cursed or what?
>>98639215i dont even see or care about mould lines anon
>>98639222goteslopper, is that you?
>>98639221I also have 5 hellblasters I have on the backburner to be painted, they just suck.
>>98639222Good for you, must be nice...
>>98639223i have no idea what meme you're referencing anon
>>98639221I've thought about buying hellblasters but the squatting batch has me thinking of starting CSMs or deldar instead.
>>98639221I'm gonna finish them I swear I have nothing else left to paint, honest.And I can brag that I took my time and got distracted twice and still finished mine
>>98639219Two onehanded weapons are cooler than one two-handed weapon though.
>>98639131Just want to warn you, the Traitor Guard box doesn't contain the shotgun, the shield, the trench club, the syringe, and the power axe anymore because they took out the accessory sprue when they reboxed from Kill Team to 40k, and those are needed to build some of The Blooded's operators.Even getting them from WGA's The Damned range is pretty hard, to get all the options for The Blooded using WGA kits you'll need to buy Damned Female Infantry,(it's he only one with a sniper rifle and it's got all your standard special weapons) Damned Command, (for Commissar, Ogryn, medic, and comms) and finally Damned Beastmen(which has shields and tons of melee weapons). Damned Beastmen isn't out yet in retail BTW.(The Ogryn shield is from the Damned Brutes kit but the rest is from the Damned Command kit)
>>98638242They are 100% recasts, as the originals were combination multipart plastic and metal components.
>>98639268Weird kit to recast honestly. It's not like they're particularly rare or expensive as far as OOP stuff goes
The milky way galaxy is a roughly 2-dimensional flat disc shape, so why can't people just fly spaceships over or under the cicatrix maledictum instead of through it?
>>98639248BTW buying all 3 of those kits would give you a total of 63 models for about $120 USD.24 female infantry24 beastman infantry6 male infantry with trenchcoat3 female infantry with trenchcoat3 male infantry with long robes3 Ogryn with trenchcoat
>>98639278>The milky way galaxy is a roughly 2-dimensional flat disc shapethat is trillions of miles thick, sure
>>98639289Nothing compared to the diameter of the galaxy which every race is capable of traveling.
>>98639276I thought similar of kasrkins but I bought a set of them (before the new plastics) off ebay that have bendy soft plastic antennas... Recasters just be doing whatever, don't buy undercoated second hand minis
I thought the milky way went up to pluto wtf?
>>98639292only through the warp, dumdum-kun
>>98639296the millky way isn't our solar system
I am currently conveyer belt painting female custodians. It's surprisingly fun and rewarding. Idk why but I'm having so much therapeutic fun.....is this autism?
Nobody respond to the bait.
>>98639303Are you the bull dyke?
>>98639306BAIT? WHERE?
>>98639303How many did you get painted before the game and how'd that go?
>>98639306
>>98639303>the absolute state of those brushesNo wonder your models look the way they do. Get yourself a couple nice ones instead of the next box of plastic crack. And take care of them.
Attention whores will diagnose themselves with anything than what they actually have.
>>98639321AGP?
>>98639319idk man I think they look pretty good, what specifically is wrong with them?
>>98639321jokes on you, I’m an attention whore, and I’ve self diagnosed myself with EVERYTHING. there’s nothing left for me to diagnose myself with.
I really don't see what's so bad about Tzeentch. There isn't anything evil about him.
>>98639337he's the god of lies
>>98639311i have a wife but im not a bull dyke. im really feminine desu>>98639314the game went really well! I faced off vs imperial knights and won! sadly i only got like 6 of my femstodes painted so i ran dark angels instead >>98639319wait, whats wrong with my brushes? they seem normal>>98639337least obvious chaosfag
>>98639349I’ve seen you post your face before, and ngl you look pretty masculine.
>>98639347Nah he just likes magic and knowledge. He's the thinking man's god.
>>98639337Chaos gods don't necessarily have to be "evil", they are just strong warp manifestations powered by sentient emotion, that in turn empower those who give in to said emotions. That said though>tzeentch whispers in your ears that you're a super speshul smart boy>oh yes you are who's the goodest and cleverest little boy?>talks you into doing X and Y because only you have the brains to pull off such exquisite plans oh my>Y turns out to be something super horrible for you, end up dying or being turned into a gibbering spawn>twas all part of tzeentch's plan, you were just a pawn :^)How is that not evil?
>>98639324>>98639349They are less straight than you. A good brush comes to a point so you can paint details.
>>98639353honestly, if his legion was entirely fucked up mutants and weird schizo wizards instead of egyptian sand robots and bird people, I’d really dig him.
>>98639353>Nah he just likes magic and knowledge. so that he can use it to subvert and betray>He's the thinking man's god.in the same sense that cuckolding is the thinking man's fetish, sure
>>98639355>>98639360Preferable to Khorne who wants to throw you in a meat grinder or Nurgle who wants you to get mega cancer AIDS.
>>98639352i dont think you know what i like like to be honest>>98639356im literally holding a brush like that right now anon
>>98639364>Preferable to Khorneif you're a limp-wristed homosexual, sure
>>98639365No, that's a value pack synthetic whose tip is already curled. Here, I'll spoon feed youhttps://www.dickblick.com/products/da-vinci-maestro-kolinsky-brushes/?Item=05818-1001
>>98639365you literally posted a pic of yourself with your daughter. you don’t remember that?
For me, it's following Khan to go have endless orgies with the bdsm elves.
>>98639390That was AI I think
>>98639391yfw
>>98639364Both Khorne and Nurgle love their followers more than Tzeentch, newfriend. Go and read Realms of Chaos, it's an older book but still holds up as the basis for the Chaos gods true lore. Khorne doesn't just "throw you into the meat grinder", he values honour and martial prowess and wants to see you succeed and come out on top, even gifting powers to do so. Nurgle gives you super AIDs but with the caveat that you can no longer effectively die a natural death since he also grants you immunity to the pain and suffering caused by those afflictions and you can't contract anything more, his endgoal is to have everyone live forever in his garden (there's a reason he's called Papa Nurgle, nicest of the big 4).
>>98639402the aeldari grip tho
>>98639403Interesting, Khorne and Nurgle now sound like pretty nice guys.
>>98639403>he values honour and martial prowess and wants to see you succeed and come out on top, even gifting powers to do so.Khorne does not do that at all. Some of his followers delude themselves into thinking that, but in the end it is all BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and BLOOD MUST FLOW. Read the very Realms of Chaos books you mentioned and anything else - Liber Chaotica and other Chaos-centric books confirm it all with LatD/RoC.
>>98639390oh damn that sucks. i didnt realize i loom masculine :( granted that was for a funeral and i usually look better but oh well
>>98639420>tells him to read the books that explicitly state the gods have positive traits including martial pride and honour for khorneretard alert
>>98639432NTA but the Realm of Chaos books do not state that at all.
>>98639423holy SHIT nobody gives a fuck about your attentionwhoring blogpostingfuck OFF back to your discordand no, I'm not the redditpedo you're obsessed with, I can't stand him OR you
based mommy dabbing on the autists
>>98639420He is quite literally the god of martial pride and honour. Don't make me go find the book...
>>98639445Feel free to post the exact passage talking about how honorable he is. Warriors full of martial pride and honor tend to be on a slippery slope to falling to him, but no matter how they delude themselves it all comes down to blood flowing and killing for Khorne. Men, women, children. The only "honor" Khorne has is not being a wizard.
>>98639423You don't, anon is just a shitposter with a vendetta against you. Plenty of anti-gay posters on 4chen also who just pull all of the "ywnbaw" type shit out, call all lesbians butch dykes etc.
>>98639432>>98639445Literally stated FUCKING NOWHERE in his Realm of Chaos page, it's constantly bringing up how he's a piece of shit who loves people betraying their own friends. The word "honour" never appears even once.
>>98639454>defending an attentionwhore who spammed selfies and offtopic personal bullshit>who created a discord to drive off activity from these threads>who's literally a self-admitted fedgenuinely kill yourself
>>98639456>Followers of Khorne have no friends
>>98639456Well I'll be, I could've sworn it did. I wonder where that came to be then because it's clearly something others have read, to the point of it being included in wikis and shit.
>>98639454I actually don’t mind her, I’m just saying she doesn’t look feminine, I’m looking at the photo right now, and unless I’m mixing up who’s who she’s definitely masculine.
>>98639487Wikis are often unsourced and full of headcanon anon. However I will check Liber Chaotica because maybe it's in there. Also worth checking more recent Chaos Daemons codexes. But if it appears anywhere else it's a retcon that came later, it's definitely not from Realms of Chaos.
>>98639456>the use of spells of similar powers...Well hello there
>>98639487>2026>fandom
>>98639490>often unsourced and full of headcanonI get that but like, it's a common enough thing being spouted around the place that surely all of these people didn't just come up with such headcanon
>>98639476hope she keeps going, its just what this general needs atm
>>98639499Anyone remember when the wiki had the Lamenter's battlecry be for those we cherish? LOL. Totally unsourced bullshit
>>98639508Only one wiki had that*
>>98639515WOW it's almost like it's the same wiki this >>98639487 is from! Thank you for your insightful input
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
>>98639517Anon, Khorne being the god of martial prowess isn't a thing unique to that wiki, it's something said all over the internet
>>98639487notice how none of that is sourced.anyway, a lot of people like to have their bad guys be given some element of good or redeeming qualities to make them more complicated even if only a bit. it also likely has to do with the one of the easiest explanations for someone to fall to khorne being they like the ritualistic killing, because its way harder to justify why some dude immediately decided to start beheading people and drinking their blood out of no where.
>>98639487Do not worry too much about it, Anon. A lot of Loretubers and Wikis apparently push the idea of Khorne being honorable. I was not calling you a liar earlier, I just wanted to make sure you realized you were mistaken.
>>98639522Ok fair enough
>>98639410chaos gods are actually just chill kinda dudes
>>98639538What's the downside to worshipping Slaanesh? Too much sex?
>>98639522It's people misremembering a quote from the 2e chaos codex for 40k where it says some followers of khorne justify their killing by putting it on their martial pride and honor
>>98639018Solid work, I really like the way the red cyber eye came out. My first painted model from feb 2023 and my most recent. I think the main learning curve was figuring out how to actually enjoy painting rather than just painting to play in tournaments.
>>98639523>source? SOURCE? SOURCE????my headcanon
>>98639541ever jack it so much that your dick gets raw and you have to stop from the pain? well imagine being forced to keep jacking it after that, forever
>>98639541Yeah, pretty much. Inb4 the inevitable>how is it a downside?When regular ol' sex becomes too boring and you have to be strung upside down by your toes and be eating out some cummy asshole while your balls are crushed to achieve orgasm, it starts being an issue
>>98639544if it's good enough for the loretube that's an AI generated voice reading AI generated text over AI generated images, it's good enough for me
>>98639553Please tell me you "people" don't actually watch that slop.
>>98639557I don't usually, I just have chatGPT summarize it for me.
>>98639564grim
>>98639552
I tried doing a very light silver dry brush with this custode. i wanted it to make the gold look like its shining in the light and to break up the mono tone gold everywhere. also coloured the base due to popular demand
I love browsing grimdank.
>>98639577you have to go back
>>98639571Yes?
Just finished up my dakkarig.Probably gonna do the mek next since he's a tiny lil character that won't take me too long.
>>98639588
>>98639592Nice painting and base orc anon
>>98639592Imagine this poor boy’s fate if you walked into the LGS and saw me as your opponent.
>>98639599You would undoubtedly end up letting out an autistic howl and Hot glue and coffee stain him. I would truly feel sorry for that poor Ork and the owner.
Getting into CSM and I got a question. My army's theme is a renegade chapter falling to chaos, but I feel weird them having daemon engines. I already plan on painting my raptors and warp talons like night lords (the chapter lost most of their assault marines fighting torchbearer custodes) so in my head the NLs are hired mercenaries or something. Would it make sense to have a *second* force of mercenaries (IWs for example) to paint the daemon engines as? Or is this a bad idea? I already plan on having some scheme similarities between my dudes (black with red lightning bolts) and the NLs (purple eye lenses, orange plasma, some small stuff) but IDK if it'd work or make sense to have a second band of hired guns with 'em. Thoughts?
welp, it’s a good thing I’m going to bed right now. goodnight anons, and have fun dealing with the melty :)>pic related
>>98639599
>>98639609Don’t be so dramatic
>>98639607you should freeze one of your craps and then paint them with it like a turd crayon
>>98639619
>>98639607the issue with chaos is getting them to work together. It seems like a stretch to have multiple mercenary groups working together since chaos bands tend to loot real space for supplies
>>98639627>It seems like a stretch to have multiple mercenary groups working together since chaos bands tend to loot real space for suppliesI figured, thanks. Maybe I'll paint my daemon engines like NLs or something (or not use them at all)
>>98639599Something like this, you end up on your knees giving sloppy toppy?>>98639606Kek
>>98639349use this for your brushes to make them like new.
>>98639607You don't really want more than 3 different CSM factions in your army at once, it gets harder to justify why each one is in your list. Some will also, lore wise, work better with others. I have a WB army and a IW army that are separate, but I have some raptors painted as NL, and some AL legionnaires, that I use in both armies to help fill out the list. (and so I don't have to buy more than I really need) And those factions you can justify a lot more easily for working together than something like EC and DG forces in your CSM army.
>>98639648little secret anon, any plant-based organic dish soap will do the same job for far less money.
>>98639650Well the idea would be>NLs>Nemesis Claw>Raptors/Warp Talons>Jump Lord>IWs>Daemon Engines>Occasional Warpsmith>/mydudes/>Everything else using firstborn proxies with spiky bitsAnd NOTHING else. But I do see why I'd be pushing it with more than 2 desu
>>98639651doesn't leave a nice oiled after coating though.
>>98639652Should tell you a lot about your behavior that you've been mistaken for him several times today alone
decaltroon mindbroke you ziggas into having fregoli syndrome
>>98639661That's all fine, it really just comes down to personal taste. It would be like playing against a regular sm player and having all their squads be from 4 different chapters that don't get along. It could work, but it could be very hard to get immersed when you actually fight on the tabletop. In the end, do what you think looks cool and somewhat makes sense to you.
>>98639680>but it could be very hard to get immersed when you actually fight on the tabletop.This is the second most important part to me, so duly noted
>>98639661I don't think three is too excessive and you can certainly find reasons why they're all together. Something like>/yourdudes/ figure they're outrunning without the backing of the Imperium and enlist help>NL have some super secrit mission and are sort of using your guys to accomplish it>IW are reaping the loot having negotiated a very favourable share of it with /yourdudes/ and NL are preoccupiedInter-warband conflict is just as fun as Imperial subfaction conflict, they just get angrier and throw hands more with it.
>>98639665Must mean he’s being picked on unfairly and singled out when it comes to community projects due to political and social pressure, sounds rough.
>>98639677Nigger we used Impact font maymays over a decade ago, 4chan has moved on and it's passe to use stiff like that now. Only reddit tourists use gifs like that and you'll continue to be accused of being the mutant so long as you use them

>>98639718Uh oh, is someone ban evading?
>>98639714yeah the gay field where gay dudes live
>>98639002I came away from the first omni with love for the characters but felt most of the quality was just eh. Not to mention the typos throughout. The highs are really high but the lows make it hard to get through. Not helped by not being written as a full novel narrative till the last story.
>>98639607Don't be a pussy and just use daemon-engines. Eventually they'll reach the point of exhausted resources/desperation/corruption to where they wouldn't mind pawning em off a DMech heretek.
>>98639713>Redditer Thingsgo back
>>98639726Excellent point, my reservations come with not thinking it fits with the vibe but fair enough
>>98639726What is that terrain building? It looks pretty massive and cool.
>>98639737Honestly not sure, it was something my bud's LGS had available to borrow.
>>98639725>typosDamn, I don't even remember this being a thing but I read 'em over a decade ago so not surprising... After talking about the series itt I had half a desire to go reread but maybe not now.It only gets worse after the first omnibus IMO, the second is just so focused on the SoB each book feels a bit samey, and like I said there's a point where he just kills a bunch of characters. There is one neat scene which shows the tenuous and dubiously magic effects of Imperial faith - Larkin is sighting a chaos champion with a refractor field, has a vision where he's visited by a Saint, and after the vision the champ is dead by his shot and a red cloth hanging off his gun that wasn't there before. That's the one good thing I remember of the second 'bus lmao
>>98639699And what font, if I may ask, has the 4channel contributor style committee your ass evidently heads settled on being acceptable?Fucking state of some of you people.
>>98639743What sucks is it's clear they don't go back to correct these things in rereleases.That's the first omnibus. That's one of the really good anthology stories there. Made me feel emotional along with the story of the doctor staying behind to treat the injured while a troop of cultists are about to assault their position.
there are too many damn books
>>98639754>That's the first omnibusOh shid then I truly remember nothing great of the second omnibus, rip in pieces.
>>98638297for me, all the 40k lore they added after 4th edition doesn't exist, it's just easier that way
>>98639755There aren't enough. I just had to pay for shipping for a copy of The Dark Coil: Ascension because it's out of stock on Amazon.
>>98639221Would be hilarious if hellblasters were secretly just cursed to never be completed. We do hellblasters collage next month and nobody finishes on time and decalfag is vindicated for not finishing his.
NEW BREAD>>98639777>>98639777>>98639777IMAGE LIMIT
>>98639762Kinda makes it for the best they didn't reprint the the other omnis. I probably would've impulsed bought the second & regret it.
>>98639751>act like an outsider>appropriately called out for it>kick up a shitfight about itWhat causes this mental illness? There's no approved list of fonts to use, it's just the mere fact that 4chen was using Impact yonks ago, it fell out of fashion but normies picked it up and used it on le reddit for ages after, and nowadays if you see it on here it's usually some reddit tourist. Itt particularly we have one annoying tourist who doesn't fit in and refuses to leave. That's the deep lore, if you continue to post in such a fashion it will get called out
>>98639737its either Sector Imperialis: Sanctum or Basilicanum. Either way, out of print, and you'd be best off trying to find 3D print versions.
>>98638283Its when a book is full of scenes of marines gunning down endless generic fodder badguys IE orks, chaos cultists, eldar guardians, tau firewarriors, tyranids>>98638357Dont play SovietsTheyre so hilariously underpowered because while every other army has some historical research and care into the flames devs are giant werahoobo fanboys that drank the kool-aid so the soviets are 1 giant hollywood meme of pure dogshit that throws waves of men at the problem except they dont even get the endless waves of men because they actually cost more than most german troops on average. Only after literal years of community backlash did they finally release point balancing that actually makes the soviets as cheap as they should be but most of their equipment is still weaker compared to IRL
>>98639788I think I've identified one of your (many, many) problems. Namely that your diagnosis has left you with such a small supply of self-awareness that being, as one autismal babboon so eloquently put it, appropriately mocked for trying to set up yourself at the arbiter of what fonts are acceptable for use on 4chan confuses and enrages you.I don't think I've ever read such flatulent nonsense as you waffling on without a hint of irony about passé fonts for use in memes.
>>98639841You can argue all you want but I'm no arbiter of anything, just spitting straight internet history facts. Let me put this another way>something happens to anon>he's confused why>explain why>continues to dumbly argue against the why when the evidence of it is right there
>>98639541Slaanesh does everything in extremes to the point that they eventually destroy you.
>>98639541Ending up a chaos spawn is unironically better than living as your average pink flavored cultist.
>somehow get labelled as autistic and have poor social skills>friend think I'll be interested in the adeptus mechanicus>only collect Night Lordswhat's his problem
