Wrap'eadz: basically ascendant weirdboys. Would make for a fun psychic warboss equivalent

Also the old canon where ork weirdboys can end up with a daemon stuck in their head that failed to possess them because orks so the two just constantly argue could make for a fun character/elite warboy that gets to dip into chaos powers

speaking of weirdboyz, another concept for weirdboyz I liked from rogue trader was how the orks wanted to make them easily visible, so most orks knew to keep their distance as well as be able to find the weirdboy if they ran away fearing their head would explode during fighting, so the solution was to dress them in silly outfits and insanely gaudy colors. definitely makes me sad I have two weirdboyz from the starter sets I bought, and they’re too naked to pull some bullshit like pic related on them.

Problem with selling these is that some of the models are so heavily modified, or newer better kits have come out that I think I'd have a rough time trying to sell what I have. Tempted to drop it in at lifeline but then I get no $ back for it all

good to know, that's some quality work

I figured, also he's been doing it for like 30 years, so I don't expect to be as good/fast as him
>>
>>98655599
it can get quicker as one improves and grows more efficient or stylizes but struggling with a single model for several hours on end is really nourishing no matter what you're up to as you're in the thick of it and always learning if you're the slightest bit attentive to what you're doing
and pretty much the norm for pushing stuff as far as you can yeah
bigger, in senses of size and complexity and importance, models will of course potentially demand more

>>98655610
>also he's been doing it for like 30 years, so I don't expect to be as good/fast as him

I don't know, I could churn out marines super fast if I wanted to but they would not be to a standard I'm happy with. Also I like to watch movies and stuff while I paint, I'm not very efficient.
>>98655600
Yeah I know. I needed a head with a grin though and that's not easy to find. Took what I had on hand. Had to rush that diorama for the collage spent one day painting it.
>>
>>98655611
I'm still trying to get a feel for how much to thin down paints and how to properly utilize brushes, but each session I get a little better so that helps to not get discouraged
>>98655613
yeah I realized I gotta slow down and not expect to paint an entire kill team in a 6 hour session, just focus on getting all the details right on one or two models. also I realized I can use sharpie pens for the little details and I think that'll help out a lot.

Yeah that's what I do too. We have specific groups for second hand warhams in my country, so even a little better than just straight marketplace, and I sell them off as big cheap job lots so even if somebody only wants one or two units, it's still worthwhile to them to buy and either keep the rest for bitz or try sell off what they don't want. Still, no matter how hard I state "NO SPLITS" I still get a bunch of requests to split and sell individual units, I get people requesting further pics when I take care to put photos up of everything at a decent resolution, it's frustrating

I got lucky with mine and offloaded my entire list for just under 400$ which is a steal. I then immediately spent it all at my local 15% off store who game me an extra 5% off for buying an entire army in bulk from him.

I usually have no trouble selling shit, and like I said I drop it dirt cheap because I understand it's a sizable lot and bunch of kits that have been worked on/superseded by shinier shit. It's just the pain and effort of sorting, photographing, listing everything just to get hounded with asinine requests to split/moar photos that makes me dread and put it off. Maybe if I put it off long enough they'll be rare OOP and I can ask for more $$...

I know people are really married to the idea that the warhammer old ones (both fantasy and 40k) are giant space frogs wizards like the Slann, but I would like it if sometimes people in the galaxy stumbled across long lost soliders of the old ones from the War In Heaven and they're just, weird. They're not cringe krorks, not ancient eldar warriors or necrontyr traitors or controlled C'than shards. They're just *something else*. They should never be a unified army but a rare singular long forgotten oddity, like a Balrog. Nobody knows it was there when they find it, extremely few would even know what it is, and it is exceptionally dangerous to everything around it once awoken

Not degenerated in the sense they're genetic fuckups, but in the sense that they do not appear to have the same galactic power and high tech as before.

As far as rogue trader goes, the war in heaven wasn't a thing, if anything it says that whatever happened it's unlikely to have been a war because there is no sign of such a conflict, the book instead suggested that for no apparent reason at all, perhaps a development in their culture, studies, or philosophies, they just decided on their own to retreat from the galactic scene and live simpler almost primitive lives.
But it also suggests that that too is just a superficial understanding, that they still wield high tech, and that whenever they happen to trade with others it's as if the trade is an excuse for interaction and observation way more than having any actual need of whatever they're trading.


And the trading and low tech is also an excuse to have them use the same weapons and vehicles as everyone else, since the only got 10 infantry models in the end.

They hate them.
They use them as tools because they're still incredibly powerful, but they're horrified of them still, and at best they envy their power and knowledge or want to hold onto them to make those theirs, but to consort with them is considered taboo, foolish, and illegal.

So Vanguard Vets with JP wargear options allows you to give any number of models any of the pistols on the list. Except may be the grav for an anti-vehicle unit, I can’t see why I wouldn’t choose all inferno pistols for a BA army.

Sure, I can’t give them the power weapons which have have increased strength, AP and damage at the cost of one less attack, but LAS will make up for that. I get them right outside of engagement range and the pistols get the 2 melta damage on top of the D3 and -4ap. Any infantry unit, including terminators, without inv is cooked after shoot/fight phase. Plus, anything still alive can get another round of shooting the next turn with whatever is left after the fight phase. I really don’t see why I should choose anything else. Am I in the wrong?

>>
>>98656340
There's been a rotation of at least 3 diehard eldar haters.
One was the slaaneshi throoder, another is the decalfag, the third is the guy having weekly spergouts about the length of bolters.
In all 3 the eldar hate manifests as a pathological necessity to see them fail in any way whatsoever (rules, fluff, models), or to state their belief that they're unpopular as if it was fact, and get offended when that belief, or alleged failure, is somehow challenged or even partially revalued.
In all 3 cases there's expressions of sexual frustration and humiliation, and in all 3 cases there have been generalisations about the fanbase at large from the behaviour of a strawman in the thread itself, from a projection of the hater's behaviour himself, or from years (if not decades) old memes about their use at tournaments and other waacfag games.
In all 3 cases there's an appropriation of their respective faction's in-setting opinions about them (respectively slaaneshi, imperials, necrons) instead of their own genuine out-of-setting opinion, that goes beyond larped banter.
In other instances of eldar/elf hate elsewhere there's a recurring thread of feeling the need to curb them in balance or overcorrection over the fact that elves are often defined as a race where the members are superior to a human, and of attributing them negative traits (physically, morally, historically) to justify the curbing or to prove that they're not actually superior; this is also adjacent to pseudo-christian fervour and real life racism, or quick hatred and racism towards many other races of the settings in question, emerging from the same discussions.
The insistence in arguing that the haters are in the popular side while the elves are unpopular is the most telling sign that this is an attempt to validate oneself by bullying something else, whatever it may be, and that elves are an easy target for this because their inherent superiority creates insecurity.

>>98656467
>for some reason
Jes goodwin's sketches imply it's some form of small engine, presumably so it actively helps in the gun's moving parts instead of relying on just springs.
It being a thing also on plasmas/flamers and the like, would mean it can be used to help in cooling or pressure or whatever the gun needs.
In some cases it's physically impossible for it to spin because the "teeth" over it would get in the way of something or there's some other bit attached to the top, so we have to assume it is also possible that there are versions of the engine that only spin internally instead of externally.

That is, if you really really want to force some consistency out of the sci fi guns instead of handwaving it as inability or laziness in gun designs.
