>>98703556>TQMine, silly
finally got some red color btw is there any reason to not slapchop?
I'm fairly new, I have a question, besides the type (base vs contrast vs washes etc) do specific color variants matter? Can you technically just get something like this and just mix and get decent results when it comes to base colors? Then just get some washes/shades and metallics that you need depending on what you're painting?
BIGBOUNCYBANSHEEBUTTS
I like orks :D
>>98703560Pretty obvious desu, low quality tq
>>98703571By color variants I mean stuff like Mournfang brown vs Rhinox hide being shades of brown etc
>>98703571no it is not possible to mix paints.
I've been out of the 40k loop for years but got a few CSM models I realized I can use after watching a couple of videos. Do berserkers+plague marines+regular legionaires work well in small point games?
>>98703583fine, what do you like about YOUR homebrew faction/subfaction?
>>98703571>do specific color variants matter?Not really, no. Vallejo's Game and Model ranges for example aren't different types of paint, it's just different hues. They could just as well have had it all as one big range. And frankly things like base vs layer (talk talk GW language) aren't set ins tone either, if a "base" colour is the right hue for your highlights then go for it. Mixing is heavily encouraged, and most of the different brands here (so stuff like GW, Vallejo, Warpaints, P3, Scale75, etc) happily mix with each other. You can also mix "regular" paints with washes, though this will obviously have a bit of impact on the consistency.
What has been the most unbalanced disposition matchup you have played? I've been out of the game for a few additions and I'm thinking about rejoining but I want to understand the disposition mechanics more before I go spending more money on models to update my army. I play Orks in several of my favorite units have been made Legends so it would be a sizeable investment to buy back into the meta.
>>98703617I havent played any unbalanced disposition matchups personallyIn general you just pick the one that your army works best withSomebody posted a graph with all the winrates and shit at one point you could probably look it upI think reconnaissance is generally the worst and take and hold/purge the foe are usually the best/easiest to work with iirc
>>98703571>can you mix paints to get different colors?no, that's illegal
>>98703483>now I gotta wait until steel legion gets releasedJust make your own, be the change you want to see
>>98703603Thanks.
I want Inquisitors to be their own viable faction>dude just play SoBmight as well play with Barbies
i like orks le ecks dee
>>98703670That kind of defeats the point of the militant orders
>>98703571>>98703587Nah, the only advantage is not having to remember recipes if you want identical color schemes on minis.For instance in your example those are different shades of brown right out the pot, if you manually make them with mixing you might not get the exact tone unless you're precise (this is easier with paints that are in dropper bottles for getting controlled amounts)
>>98703679good
>>98703617I think Priority Assets is really strong and very easy to score with.
>>98703571Vallejo paints are pretty decent and you can get away with buying one base color and one highlight color and shade it with a wash. Not that I don't enjoy spending my money on small stuff but if you want uniformity across your models there's a reason why people end up buying lots of paints instead of mixing it all the time.
>>98703751TELL ME MASON, WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN?
>>98703617From the Meta shit we've been getting, Disruption is worst. Purge, T&H, and Recon are all good as long as your army AND chosen units work with it.
>>98703594Yes (how small though lol)
>>98703597I get to paint my dudes like I want to.
>>98703670They are it seems. Just got either IG or SoB+Agents or pure Agents. The few people who have been taking agents to tournies are doing surprisingly well (maybe because they use Deathwatch?)
>go to get a citadel paint from my cupboard>It has solidified because it was slightly exposed from the paint build-up at the rim that allows air in.There is zero reason for GW not to use dropper bottles. Zero. None. Null. Nil. The are mass produced, more convenient to use, easier to store, easier to produce, easier to recycle. Hell, they could make dropper bottles with less paint than the current things and still sell them at the same price if they wanted to. It's ridiculous. EVERY OTHER BRAND HAS DONE THIS. T
>TQMy mercenary/RT Guard or my independent Hive Fleet
>>98703786Its obviousy why they don't but you will get called a fake grog zoomer youtube grifter nomodels nogames /pol/ster here if you point it out.
Codex nerfed Space Marines too much
>>98703813This, a single lore-accurate space marine is supposed to be able to solo every army in the game except other space marines. GW fucked up by nerfing marines too much and now they need to backtrack before b-b-based marinepiggies like us stop buying their 17th new Lieutenant model to be released in the last 6 months
>>98703771Normally there's 1 or 2 DW units but there's basically only one way to play IA right now and that's Veiled Blade + Imperialis Fleet playing recon as a deep strike + infiltrate heavy horde list.
>>98703660Plz close up of the banner guy
*farts*
>>98703827True, look at those new points. Xenos players must be supportive in such trying times and concede every match against marines. We must be better men...
>>98703835I only got a pic of the whole command squad but here ya go
>>98703847Noice. Got the Tiny Legends STL but I don't know yet what kind of banner Ima do, this is inspiring
>>98703847I DON'T WANNA CLOSE MY EYESI DON'T WANNA FALL ASLEEP'CAUSE I'D MISS YOU BABYAND I DON'T WANNA MISS A THING
>>98703827>I get my warhammer news from reddit and repeating things I heard youtubers sayThere has been one (1) new space marine lieutenant released in the past 6 months. If you can successfully point out which one I'll be a little impressed.
>>98703571Game color is thinner out the bottle and model color is more pigmenty, they say but I don't really know what that means yet. You can get a basic color like model blue and then have model black to make a navy blue and model ivory to make a light blue. Using an off-white but still light color is better for mixing than a pure white, they say but again don't ask me exactly why.
>>98703856The bits I used for the banner are one of the spare tops from a Cadian Command Squad, a Death Rider lance for the pole (Cut it off at the hand), and some plasticard for the flag itself, if that helps.
>>98703861Nigger

>>98703905When did I say I was a man, check xour privilege you fat retard
>>98703861>There has been one (1) new space marine lieutenant released in the past 6 monthsWhy do you think you'll be able to make the meme go away just by pointing out it's old? People STILL bring up the Imperial Fists' shit eating ceremony or Tyranids getting stopped by razor wire or whine about Matt Ward, and squatting is still shorthand for discontinuing a model range. Space Marines will never shake the stink of Primaris Lieutenants off of them, that's just the way of things.
>>98703861lmao they're still making new primaris lieutenants? y'all piggies said it's been like 2 editions since you got one. are they gonna release a codex where you only run primaris lieutenants soon?
>>98703840Damn I gotta learn to paint miniature faces where the eyes are shadowed. Great "style cheat" to avoid painting eyes.
>>98703922Maybe this is an outdated idea but I quite strongly believe that if your argument is actually worth making it should be able to stand on its own without exaggerating or making up details to convince people. If the number of lieutenants is really so egregious, then surely saying the actual correct number is enough to convince people of that fact, without padding the numbers? They did release quite a few. Or you can just go on saying the shit that semantically feels right to you but isn't even correct. That doesn't bother most people in today's society.
>>98703929Pretty sure you just daub some black on the eye sockets and then give it a heavy black tone wash. I've absolutely seen "Darkest Dungeon" minis before and I like the way they look.
>>98703617https://listhammer.info/stats
>>98703949Can you post some pics, please? I gotta get my new table and set up my hobby paint station again, pronto. I haven't painted in a long time but the itch is always there.
>>98703943It's not an argument at all, my silly little autist. It's mockery.>If the number of lieutenants is really so egregious, then surely saying the actual correct numberDo you really wanna go down that road? I'm pretty sure there's more individual Primaris Lieutenants than there are currently legal DEldar minis. This outdated chart is already egregious as fuck.
Getting back into warhammer and it feels odd. When did wargear stop costing points? What the fuck is a detachment?
>>98703617None have felt particularly unbalanced to me, but recon vs disruption was probably the dumbest feeling. I won 98-96 and there was so little either of us could do to stop the other scoring, even when he was down to a handful of units in turn 4.
>>98703943>Maybe this is an outdated idea but I quite strongly believe that if your argument is actually worth making it should be able to stand on its own without exaggerating or making up details to convince people.Look at that original post again, at what point do you think it was anything but exaggerated satire of marinefags bitching about their army not being strong enough or supported enough?
>>98703961what do lieutenants even do?
>>98703961Man, I really don't like the half-mask design. Either put a helmet on or leave it off.
>>98703565Im painting CSM right now too and I think they are a bad case study for slapchop.the best way to paint chaos is to fill in the armor after base coating the model in the same color as your trim, this is nice because you can go back over the trim areas where you were sloppy and simply do touchups.I am painting some cartoony night lords so ive gone in the opposite direction. and its kind of a pain,
>>98703974Tenant in lieu of a real commander.Real answer: they're just sergeants except GW wanted Primaris to seem cooler than firstlets so they upgraded them from NCO to officer.
>get pushback for calling this shithole contrarian central>some scum fuck primarisfag trying to downplay and play stupid about the amount of lieutenant releases that got so bad that even GW was making tone deaf self-aware jokes about it in their marketing Fuck him and his WHORE mother!
>>98703961If someone says "17 in the last 6 months" and the real figure is ONE in the last 6 months, then that makes them look like a fool. I've told you my part though, so please feel free to continue repeating the reddit meme and seething about your third tier xenos army not being more popular - dark eldar is obviously going to get a bunch of releases this edition, and then you can find a new faction who hasn't had a release in a while to bitch and moan about.
>>98703571>>98703751>>98703912>vallejo mentionedI bought some mecha and game color metallics. Are they gonna have the bubble meme? Was that debacle blown out of proportion or genuine and has been silently corrected in newer batches? I love some of the mecha color metallic paint tones. I know I can mix dark metallics. I just want the metallics to be dark and consistent.
>>98703966>Getting back into warhammer I'm sorry for your loss.>When did wargear stop costing points?When the game designers got lobotomized and decided to roll all wargear upgrade costs into the base unit price so now there's literally no reason to ever not take the best wargear selections and trying to be frugal with cheap, unupgraded infantry is now punished>What the fuck is a detachment?It used to be a way of modifying the Force Organization Chart to let you take more of specific units that you would normally not be able to take (see also: Deathwing or Ravenwing). They still do that, but FOCs are gone now, so the main reason to take a Detachment is for the alternate special rule it grants your army (but you have to meet the requirements by having enough of a specific unit included in your army to use said detachment). It's retarded.
>>98703970It has dawned on me that the days of me being able to drink beer while playing 40K are over. If I have to score on every turn I can't have a laid-back casual attitude. I have to constantly be thinking about objectives, mine and the opponents. I'll try a couple of games with the army I already have to see if I can enjoy it but I'm not putting more money into my Orks and coming back to the game.
>>98703978As dumb as I find reivers they're the only ones who even sort of pull it off since skull badannas/half-masks are already a widespread aesthetic. It still looks a bit off on a marine for some reason in a way that the full skull helmets don't for me, but it doesn't look as retarded as the mkX snoutmasks.
>>98703984uhhh anon, he doesn’t play xenos, remember? he claimed he was a dyed in the wool marinepiggy >>98703827
>>98703961the primaris lieutenant thing is really just so GW can release one off models for various reasons (store events, promotional boxes,etc) and they have a lot of visual appeal. these are single monopose models so it isn't a lot of work to create the models, part the model out and get them fit to a small sprue in whatever software they use.
>>98703990I am convinced somebody is paying that guy to spread that bubble shit.
>>98703984You're telling me the guy who is explicitly clowning around looks like a fool? Damn, I bet he feels dumb right now!
>>98703813I'm excited to see how it plays out. Tacticus got tougher and more lethal (broadly, not as much as T3 players cried about) with only minor points increases, but their detachments are dogshit. Gravis and Phobos got more lethal, no tougher, slightly worse abilities, minor point increases but with good detachments. Terminators got way better, way more expensive, and probably the best detachment in the book. Vehicles generally got worse rules and suffer most without easy rerolls every turn.
>>98703786I just took the time to clean all that shit out of the lids on mine. V painful.
>>98703670Very true.Agents not being to take penitent engines and arco-flaggelants is a damn crime.
>>98703978>>98704001It's a two part helmet and for some reason, I think GW has options for both fully and partially helmeted versions. I see it in my head as skull shaped rebreathers
>>98704007its actually just duncan rhodes personally posting on multiple forums in order for people to flock to TTC.
>>98703959I tried to but I couldn't really find anything since I just saw it in passing on /tg/. This is the best I could find with some quick googling, but it's way more exaggerated than the ones I remember and doesn't have a tutorial or anything. You might have better luck asking /wip/ or checking youtube or something.
>>98704007It has been years since the first bubble criers have been warning others and it was derided as a skill issue until it became clear the formula was a kind where it was too easy to have bubble markings. Hopefully it has been fixed.Can you post your Vallejo paints and maybe a model painted with them with a timestamp? I'd appreciate it as it would give me a bit of peace of mind.
>>98704028His paints are too glossy.
>>98704028Honestly I'd say it was probably ArmyPainter doing that more. Their marketing is pretty good and aggressive so guerilla marketing is something they would do.
We don't delve into conspiracy theories we have no proof for here.
>>98704002Repeat after me everyone>I'm SORRY for being a marine player>I'm SORRY my faction is too popular>I'm SORRY for getting so many models>I'm SORRY that it makes you feel inadequateAll xenos players accept and respect self-hating marine players
>>98704007Ntab that bubbling is a real issue with nuvallejo. It can be mitigated with correct paint application but pretending it doesn't exist is dishonest.
>>98704046Is it still a problem? Do their metallics have this issue? I'm talking about the ones in small droppers. As those have the more interesting metallic acrylic color tones.
Finally done painting and basing my 2k custodes lads. Took just under a month but im proud of myself!
Ravenwing kill team this year, same as the elf dino riders, three dudes on fancy bikes.
>>98703979I guess I should really how to do volumetric highlight manually instead of dry brushing everything
>>98704056>custodes
>>98704031>>98704046Half of my paints, if not more, are Vallejo, I quite literally have never ran into a bubbles problem when painting my minis. The only time I see them pop up is when I paint large bases with a big brush. Whem it tries there is no trace of bubbles anyway.I am convinced most people here have never used nuvallejo and just repeat what Stalhy said in his video.
>>98704075dries*
>>98703993>there's literally no reason to ever not take the best wargear selectionsIt looked stupid to me when I was perusing datasheets and thought maybe there was a rule I didn't know, because if it says "this model can take up to three options" why the hell wouldn't I max out the wargear?>>98703993>I'm sorry for your loss.I'll play some modern games just to get back in the swing of things, but I'm going to find some other locals willing to try older editions. There's got to be some old heads around.
>>98704055I didn't try the metallics but it still happens with new "regular" acrylics from their game color range.>>98704075>when I paint large bases with a big brushYeah it happens when you apply the paint too haphazardly or too much at once. You shouldn't be doing that anyway most of the time but sometimes you want to quickly slap on a basecoat on a large part of a mini and that's when it happened to me.
>>98704024Yknow, we never see anyone just wearing the top of the helmet. Cmon GW you cowards, gimme a space marine with a ceramite skullcap
>>98704056Looks good anon but I don't like unpainted rocks on bases, I would always give them a basecoat and some washes and a drybrush to unify the colour and scale. A lot of people do it your way though.
>>98704088>gimme a space marine with a ceramite skullcapit just looks like an old cadian helmet, so use a cadian helmet
>>98704028>£4.50 a pot. >>98704056Good job anon I think that's going to be like 3k in the new codex.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98704087>"regular" acrylics from their game color rangeHow about model or mecha color?>>98704075>just repeat what Stahly saidThere were anons on WIP speaking of the bubbling when new game color came out before Stahly's vid came out.
>>98704045who said we respect marine players?
>>98704075It might be an issue that only arises when vallejo is combined with certain brushes or something who knowsI doubt its just some spontaneous urban myth lol
>>98704111I respect marine players
>the only way to get Objective secured for Space Marines is Ancients with banners or strategemsThat seems like a weird tax to introduce. How is that going to work for factions that don't have banners or support characters like ancients going forward?
>>98704096
>>98704109>>98704113I don't know then. At least in my experience, the bubbles have been a non-issue. Maybe I was just lucky.
>>98704123...on opposite day!
>>98704072whats wrong with custodes ?
>>98704131>the bubbles have been a non-issueAs in you haven't seen any?I should have mentioned that bubbles can be created with any acrylic paints. Vallejo's new paints just happened to be 'easier' to produce if that helps.>Maybe I was just lucky.I think maybe your batch is not a bad one or vallejo fixed it without publicly acknowledging the problem.I'll try the metallics I have on some DnD preprimed minis and see how it goes. But just for metallics. Most of my regular paints are from AK 3rd gen. The 3rd gen metallics are the weakest part of AK's acrylic line in my opinion mostly in color tone choice.
>>98703556I'm tempted to switch my CSM warband to Word Bearers. I thought about Lorgar and he becomes way cooler when you read him as doing a Heideggerian revolt against rationality instead of just 'I need a daddy'.
>>98704138>whats wrong with custodes ?
>>98704129now this is real generic sci-fi shit.perfect for primaris.
>>98704128they'll just slap the rule onto whatever the biggest tax would be for that army. Ancients are basically worthless, so I expect it'll be shit like Storm Guardians for Eldar and so on. All the worst possible units
>>98703571>>98703990Would not recommend Vallejo paints since in my use they foam like hell. Also about mixing paints, you often can do it but some colors mix poorly because they themselves are mixes which can result in complementary mixes which just turns your paint to brown grey sludge.
Do these fit easily into normal csm and havocs?
>>98704088Empire state troops and militia boxes come with skull cap heads, though they're not very marinelike.It's weird that GW likes to show off marines with just the mask part and separate helmet portion, but never marines with just the helmet with removed mask. And it's only a few helmets variants with the separate mask part. Mainly MkX with a few MkVIIs (if you want to imagine the grill masks as the grill face of the helmet). FW did make one MkII face mask without the helmet in their tank crew kit. No MkIV, VI, terminator, etc. heads with the mask and no helmet.I think in RT IG and SM shared their helmet designs. At least the IG helmets looked very much like the Marine helmets without the mask. Both had a similar shape with the angry brow, disks on the sides and an off-set optic comb on top.
>>98704152Lorgar is pretty based if you read the HH books. One of the few traitor Primarchs who isn't all whining and bitching, gets the job done, and gets his eternal reward from the Chaos Gods for his success. He's evil and he loves being evil. Perturabo, Angron, Mortarion, Kurze, and Magnus just whine incessantly for the whole Heresy but Lorgar is having the time of his life (along with Fulgrim).
>>98704154I don't think you should be so quick to dismiss the lookif marines and guards were closer entities it would be a very convenient thing to make them look closer from time to time
>>98704138Technically, nothing. But their status as the best of the best of the best in lore attracts histrionic retards who think it's some sort of justification for their wanking. They're basically just niche marinefags.
>>98704167If you use the arms in the box, sure. Just know that HH marines have shorter, slimmer arms and tiny baby hands compared to 40k marines.
>>98704176The box brings arms? I thought it was just what the image shows
>>98704128sticky has way less value in 11th, I wouldn't worry about it.
>>98704169Aren't his motivations still pretty boring? That's why I prefer my read since then he isn't just having a tantrum.
>>98704167Almost, you need to do a tiny bit of greenstuffing or trimming.
>>98704152>>98704169>Lorgar
>>98704181Check the other images, anon. How on earth did you expect the guns with both hands moulded onto them to be universal to all arms across different games? The HH special weapons don't come with arms because they're designed to fit the HH tactical kit bolter arms (meaning all bolter arms across all marks are made to have the same exact poses).
>>98704190Sorry I'm retarded
>>98704166Well I already ordered mecha and game a true metallic and a model color metallic I think. Pray for me anons that the bubble foam problem has been "patched" or doesn't affect metallic acrylic paints somehow.I use synthetic brushes because I am terrible at brush maintenance. Still get paint in the ferrule somehow.
>>98704198
>>98704184Depends. Lorgar's motives are basically "I was right all along" and he is, in fact, proven right all along. So it's spite that drives him, with an extra bit of hindsight. Yet he's also an underdog who wants to prove himself to his brothers (traitor and otherwise) and works very hard to 'save' Angron (by ruining his life, but he thought he was helping) as well as to improve his own skills to defeat his more vaunted brothers like Guilliman. Some would find that fun, at least.
>>98704198NTA but I've done retarded things. Been retarded. Easily swayed away from testing nuVallejo paints from the alleged bubble blunder.I also overthink everything. Sometimes a nail doesn't need a sledgehammer to be knocked in.I'm retarded too.
>>98703803Because they like the brand recognition? Because paints drying out lets them sell more? Because GW fanboys don't care enough about paint quality to ever think about other brands anyways?
>>98704184Idk go ask /hhg/Primarchslop doesn't go here
>>98704153how about replying with words ?>>98704173I've always seen custodes as just a benchmark measurement for the relative powerlevel of other factions ultra elite units. I know harlequins are roughly equivalent to custodes for example desu I never cared for any kind of wankery except for the assassins
>>98703786This only happens if you are a sloppy messy retard who also doesn't clean his paint pots before putting them away. I have never had this issue as an adult, only when I was still a little kid first playing grog editions. Also, you can literally just mix some water back in and restore solid paints to usable again, so I hope you weren't dumb enough to throw it in the trash.
>>98704129>that third oneAw hell yeah. The real spice would be the cap but only one lens, or no lenses but a bionic eye. Gimme the scouter special.
>>98704103Wyches will never look like they should...
>>98704152I don't respect any primarchs, but I DO respect Word Bearers. Evilmaxxing daemon worshippers are way cooler than wannabe "morally grey" tryhards who think they're just "using" chaos as they get used by it.
>>98704240Even that art is "censored" from what they actually should look like if keeping to the lore, many of them literally fight tits and cunt out naked.
>>98703786I think GW primarily avoids switching to droppers because they aren't in a dire problem again yet.And their pots are too "brand iconic" to switch anyways.I believe that pots do have their advantages over droppers. Tamiya still uses pots. AK has the best droppers because they were literally designed to paint the little top part for quick color reference. Haven't had one crack on me. Yet.
>>98704243I respect Curze he was fully committed to the bit
>>98704244yeah but I can't post that art here
>>98703861>only one marine lieutenant in six monthsOh dear. A regular primaris lieutenant famine.

>>98704255>>98704244>>98704240>>98704103Are Dark Eldar being delayed their refresh because they are the most obvious coomer army and GW hasn't found a way to sanitize them enough for moms to be okay with buying them for their children/manchildren? Along with not being marines and a xenos faction so lower priority too?A "dark triad" of reasons GW are slow to update them even if you will?
>>98704274that one anon who was posting about the old deff dread must be very happy. also,>goff rokkerskino, as long as they’re metal I’ll pay any price for them.
>>98704279It's true. Some guy once started lecturing me for having a torture elf army and I was like "sir, I'm just here for the boats".
>>98704279They should simply don't bother with updating Wyches in particular for as long as possible, until hopefully it's finally allowed to have sexy women again.Focus on Haemonoculi, Kabals, Alien Mercenaries and expand Mandrakes with HQ options and those shadowy monsters from their realm which are mentioned
>>98704274Nothing says Merry Christmas like decorations featuring evil daemon worshipping murderous chaos marines!
>>98704279They're getting the slowest update because they are the last army to need it, their oldest shit is from 5th edition, every other factions oldest shit was from 2nd or 3rd.
>>98704279Their range is too functional yet, I think. The models still work well despite being old, same reason the dire avengers didn't get refreshed despite their age.
>>98704293Crazy stuffGrown ass man btw
>>98704274Admechbros, are you picking one up?
>>98704297Gimme plastic sslyth
>>98704297They’re allowed to have sexy women rn nobody would give a fuck lol except some blowhard bloggers with thick plastic rimmed glasses nobody gives a fuck about>>98704298That plague marine one straight up looks like it has a ball gag
>>98703571You can mix anything and get any color, you only need to remember the correct mix to get the same paint again if you need it.It can be a pain in the ass to always mix your paints, even more when you need a lot of it (like for an army).Having a good amount of paints is simply extremely convenient and there is also some shade of colors that are not easy to get.
Lorefags what is it with the space elves and bare feet? Obviously one of the designers was a footfag and wanted an excuse for coomer art, but what's the stated reason they don't wear shoes?
>>98704274Oh yeah look how fucking retarded and shit it looks, that's how you KNOW it's 100% soul
>>98704251He's also dead, which is respectable.
>>98704321Dare I say…Based?
>>98704316pigments are not magic number values in a computer, you can't just mix to produce every colour.
>>98704306does it inflate and simulate breathing? if not, pass.
>>98704297They'll probably stall for as long as possible, but to be honest not having the wyches wearing skimpy clothes even though allegedly according to anon they fight naked, is like releasing admech without any cybernetics.>>98704313>except some blowhard bloggers with thick plastic rimmed glasses nobody gives a fuck aboutThe PR teams do for some reason with those types. They have a stupid amount of power even though everything they say tanks so many IPs.
>>98704325Can confirm. Some paints of different pigments and tones mix better than others. Even in the same range from the same manufacturer. That doesn't mean one should forgo paint mixing. It is still a useful action when painting models to try for mixing paints. I think layering and skin tones is best for this. Even if just sticking to 50/50 mixes.
>>98704290i like the old kans
Yfw they put the good SM plastics up for MtO after the marine codex drops
>>98704345It just means if you want a nice green buy a nice green, don't try to create it with your blues and yellows. Painting highlights and shadows by mixing colours is generally going to be both cheaper and more effective than buying lighter and darker versions of the same hues. You don't have to be precise when mixing when you're working from a fixed base colour. Just get a paynes grey for shadow and a warm ivory for light and have fun.
>>98704274Damn, old Ghaz, the dread, and the goff rockers are all very tempting
>>98704374I still stand by what I said about paint mixing but I see your point you're making with more clarity. >Payne's Grey for shadow and warm ivory for light and have funI know about the warm ivory but not the Payne's grey part.What specific warm ivory paints and Payne's grey paints do you recommend I pick up? Do you by chance know of some particular paints you "use" mostly for mixing paints that seldom get used as they are on the actual models?
>>98704274Ghaz do be looking succulent.
>>98704318Eldar are inspired by a mix of various pre christian pagan things. They're the dying collapsed clutter from before the dark age even. Lots of them are depicted going bare foot. Celts, homeric heroes, gladiators, etc.
>>98704318Jes felt their feet are important for some reason
STILL CANT PAINT FACE REEEE
>>98704274I don't play Orks, but that Ghazghkull is ikonic. It calls to me.
>>98704422>for some reason
>>98704394I use Pro Acryl's payne's grey and AK's blue moon wash for shadows. The latter is a touch more blue rather than dark than I would like, but it's handy to have a wash to throw on to reinforce shadows and it looks more interesting than the usual muddy nuln/dark tone options. Army painter ancient stone as an all-purpose highlight.
>>98704300I wasn't aware Asdrubael Vect was from 5th edition
>>98703594So you probably have a unit of 7 plague marines, 10 berserkers and 10 legionaries right?>The Viridian Consuls were a Second Founding Ultramarines successor chapter that fell to Chaos during the Abyssal Crusade and became the warband known as The Broken.The Broken fit this description the most https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Broken,_TheThey have a lot of lore too.

>>98704599Silence is important sometimes.What was the sect of noise marines who were obsessed with making things quiet? I remember some metal quote about how they'd made a weapon that would bring silence so perfectly you couldn't even hear yourself think.
>ebay seller was selling something for 200 bucks>but no one was buying>so he raised the price to 210 dollarsPeople who sell on ebay are literally the worst fucking salesmen alive.
>>98704606I sold some models as best offer once and I was baffled at people offering me more than what I was asking for
>>98704512that’s cause you’re looking at religion too deeply through the lens of religion needing to resemble traditional christianity. khorne worship comes from live human/xenos sacrifices like the ancient aztecs did to power the sun, and tzeentch worship comes from bringing about great change and unlocking inner potential through mysticism and so resembles modern day doomsday cults like Aum Shinrikyo.
>>98704606Art of the deal, anon.
>>98704616that’s cause they knew a lot of people would want whatever you were selling, so they set themselves apart by offering even more money in the hopes that you sell your models to them.
added more details but it really needs more trees on the far side to look like a fucked up swamp in a jungle. Guardsman in the shadows tracking his way through.
Interesting.
What's a good base theme for orks? I know desert bases are common for orks, but they seem too easy and too common. I'm thinking a mud/rocks type base would be cool, I bought some stirland mud technical paint and I really like it.

If the new intercessor kit was the first intercessor kit to be released people would have been down with primaris. They'd still kick a fuss over the special weapons and vehicles but enough of the original spirit would still be visible.What a shitshow
>>98704664do you like the sculpts? Why notIt'll be a little more expensive than a generic box of battleline dudes but it's just about the best way to test the waters of the hobby compared to people buying hundreds of dollars of models and burning out on model 3

>>98704712coke classic fr
>>98704712nostalgia bait fomo set. why would they release 3 brand new sets of intercessors if they were going to bring tactical squads back?
>>98704279this is a crazy secondary take because if you look at the actual real 2001 kit that they sold, most of the wyches are wearing armour and the whole squad is mixed gender to begin with
Hopefully those points previews were fake since it was stuff like Intercessors and hellblasters only being 5 points more and a few named characters being like 10-15. And land raiders actually got cheaper, meaning if your list was infantry and land raiders it's probably a wash.I really hope GW doesn't mess this up. The stat increases are fine *IF* points costs are higher, losing Oath actually matters, and other books get cool stuff too (their own buffs, or their weapons updated to still kill marines, or cheaper to be more horde-like, whatever). If marines get these stat increases and are only more expensive by like 5 points and armies like sob and votann are still using old bolter profiles wounding new marines on 5's then I'm going to be really sad.I play marines but I also play muliple other armies, and even if I didn't play other armies I would still want a fair and fun environment.The thing that makes me hopeful is that losing Oath is actually pretty noteworthy, that is a nerf. Oath+Gladius detachment is stronger than having Gladius as your army rule and taking some other random detachment instead of Gladius,. which looks like is what is happening. So hopefully that makes things balanced...
Fatrak says he heard that the new intercessors were supposed to be tactical intercessors and have the options of the old tactical marines (missile launcher etc) but someone stepped in and changed the direction of the squad design.
>>98704755Yeah I've heard him mention that before. Wtf is the point of this? To get people holding out on primaris to get them? I don't know
>>98704712>>98704735>>98704755Another valrak leak he keeps repeating is a heresy “expansion” or basically the scourging pre 8th version of 40k for grogs
>>98704754mein furher.....ze points....
>>98704635uh primarisissies, I'm not feeling so good!!!
The new intercessors look good but honestly I’m disappointed on the fact they removed all three bolster variants And I KNOW I’m a minority here on that since I recall numerous complaints against the auto/stalker being considered “bloat” I just liked the box mag
the absolute fucking state of marines in 40k, my goodness
>>98704754Average army is 12-14 units. If at least half goes up 5-10 point you're dropping 1 unit.New marine codex also favors big deathstar units because without oath mcu won't be accomplishing much.T5 s6 interkekers might look good on point/cost ratio but they won't win you the game.
>>98704782Fuck that noise and fuck you lmao
>>98704782Should have been added to an upgrade sprue imho, I now have a pile of these little bolter bits I can't use for anything.
>>98704755Anything to avoid admitting he was an idiot who jumped to an incorrect conclusion when his source hinted at something else entirely.
>>98704434Can I take Old Ghaz, put him on the base he is on now and play him 'legally' e.g. I go to a local/official tournament?
>>98704782I always thought the stalker and auto were meant to like follow a modern military squad Like designated marksmen, auto rifleman, and the grenade launcher I never really see anyone point that out when I often see tacticool complaining
>>9870478785pts for a 5 man intercessor squad to sit on the home objective that doesn't even have objective secured is a lot.
>>98704635Told you retards they were just gonna scale up firstborn marines and just sell them alongside primarisThe primaris thing is just an armor redesign theyve done it several times over the years, no shit
>>98704782The hellblaster stuff is egregious the bolsters were fine
>>98704306I don't want to sound like some degenerate art commissioner on Patreon, but it needs to be fatter.
>>98704635>red corsair raider is potential originally from the same time period as the original LoTD (fire hawks)>he's smallerAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>98704798Huh I never seen that comparison either makes sense I suppose
>>98704797Yes. If anyone complains hit them with ghaz
>>98704754Points may change slightly but they're mostly fine. Hellblasters lost their fire on death ability and their overcharge profile is exactly the same as before. I like the new rules and normal shooting being damage 2 is great, but a 5 point increase is fine. Even at 85 points no one with another option is using intercessors, be real. Lost sticky and gone from 4 shots to 2 shots (rapid fire 1) into chaff.
>>98704782Yeah this is not an opinion that’s popular I remember countless complaints over the bolters not making sense and saw it from sm2 players
I suppose you can still run Tactical Squad with varying weapons as Fortis Kill Teams in Deathwatch
This weapon/unit has Sustain Hits/Lethal Hits/Devastating Wounds
>>98704800scouts for 65, eliminators for 85 with their 9" detection range, or park an impulsor on it for 70.
>>98704827>it's a sniper rifle
I think the biggest irony of tactical primaries load out drama has got to be the fact 8th edition introduced split fire thus making actual mixed squads easier and better to play with because an often majority ran simple loadouts for ease of play
>>98704815that reminds me the dread is also metal. I’ll finally live out my dreams of having a proper (ork) dread in sock as a personal weapon.
>>98704837I'm a 10th baby, what do you mean split fire's a new addition? Could a unit only target a single unit?
>>98704434that ghaz,zagstrukk and the old badrukk are probably some of the better sculpts that GW ever made. I'll probably buy that ghaz but the 90+ dollar price tag will hurt.
>>98704739Yeah, Dark Eldar have literally been sanitized for almost two decade now and people act like they're still too wild for GW to draw attention to. The Vect slave barge with the only scantily clad women is literally over 25 years old now.
>>98704837Yep, that's it exactly. Multi weapon or even 10 man devastaor squads would become more useful too.And what's with getting rid of combat squad rules just to put them right back for a single SW unit?
What is this edition supposed to be referencing for the thread?
>>98704843Yeah , before 8th the entire squad had to shoot the same target unless someone had splitfire, wwhich was most common on Tau crisis suits as an upgrade as Tau support systems actually had individual rules.
>>98704843>>98704837An often long held argument and proponent of mixed weapons was how sometimes you’d waste a rocket launcher or melta gun on something Deveststors were worse this is why you’d often see mono load outs to build a specific squads niche. Otherwise you would just be overkill to waste 5 las canons on a ork boy squad for example Another big example of this getting skewed is the 2016 tactical kit actually including a bunch of alternative weapons instead of forcing you to scrounge
>>98704858what?
>>98704858
alright m8s im sorry if this question has already been answered at some point but genuinely why are there bubbles in my paint now? These bubbles didn't appear a year ago. What am I doing wrong?

>>98704843There was also a time where you had to target the closest enemy unit when firing unless you passed a test.
>>98704899that's fucking based
>>98704899Good riddance to that
>>98704754You're right of course and the people saying it's not a big deal are the problem. Marinepiggies are downplaying how bad it could be if this isn't properly balanced in other ways
>>98704895Lorgar has always been a bitch. Even at Istvaan Curze has to save him from Corax.
>>98704915the entire army got +1 s +1t and every weapon got +1 ap and they now have access to advance + Shoot + charge + fallback on all of their units and if you bring this up they go "but muh oaf"
My battle sister army is expanding even more. One day I will reach my full goal of having maximun amount of EVERYTHING. Like 7 Rhinos, 8 Immos, 3 of each other vehicle, 3 of each infantry, 3 of each non epic character, 6 Battle Sister Squads and each epic character.I'd say I'm like 50-60% there.

>>98704739those models suck though
>>98704870I know it’s reaching heavily, but them being all black marines who are getting lynched and earn their “freedom” seems to add another level innuendo to the whole thing.
How the fuck do Marine players not get overwhelmed by the amount of stuff they have?
>>98704949Have you feasted your face on the new defiler yet
For that destroyed dreadnought terrain piece what would be a cheeky model to stick on top like it was claiming the kill? Not a doofy model like a grot or a nurgling, something more reasonable but still unlikely?
>>98704956I'm not a 'marine player' but I have little detachments and the answer is a lot of it is hot garbage. Making a white scars army you wouldn't want stupid shit like the rapeulsor or the ugly fuckers with the stupid nerf guns.

>>98705020Word, thanks.
I’ve made this argument before, and I know it’s controversial, but I think 40K has an inherent contradiction that became impossible to ignore around 10 years ago: the lore’s obsession with technological stagnation and the tabletop’s need for constant innovation are fundamentally at odds.40K was built around technology being ancient, lost, and difficult to replace. That stagnation is a huge part of its identity. But GW also has to constantly sell new models. You can’t endlessly introduce new weapons and units into a setting where humanity supposedly barely understands its existing technology.For years, GW worked around this with “we found an STC,” Forge World explaining that something was experimental or rare, or the AdMech simply disapproving of new technology. Centurions and grav weapons were a good example. People understandably asked, “When the hell did Space Marines start using this? They just found an STC and immediately mass-produced it?”The same conflict exists in squad design. Assault Intercessors lacking jump packs in 9th caused plenty of complaints, despite non-jump-pack assault squads already existing in the lore as Despoilers. But on the tabletop, players naturally wanted jump packs because they were cooler and more useful.Vanguard Veterans show it too. Lore presents them as melee specialists, but players optimized them into standardized loadouts like thunder hammers and storm shields. Mixed equipment makes more sense narratively; optimized equipment makes more sense in a game.That’s my central point: the more GW develops 40K as a living tabletop game, the more it inevitably conflicts with the stagnant setting that originally defined it. Primaris around 2017 simply made that contradiction impossible to ignore.The “lore vs. tabletop” argument isn’t really about one side being stupid. They’re asking 40K to do fundamentally different things.
Necron civilisation.
>>98705022It's probably a laser pointer, but tactical like.
>>98705016You'll like it even better when they reduce the cost to 1k points and sell a 450 dollar plastic warhound as part of the Adepticus Titanicus army.
>>98705030>The same conflict exists in squad design. Assault Intercessors lacking jump packs in 9th caused plenty of complaints, despite non-jump-pack assault squads already existing in the lore as Despoilers. But on the tabletop, players naturally wanted jump packs because they were cooler and more useful.Who the fuck would run on foot assault squads? Is that even possible
>>98704797At the very least he's probably scaled perfectly to stand in for the warboss in mega-armor and looks all the more impressive for it.
>>98705030Someone doesn't remember forgeworld
>>98705030As a reminder post models only became a thing after 2016 this general was very much less modelers than now
>>98705033Lovecraft would have played Tau
>>98705039You disappoint me
>>98704991I mean they literally look like him.
>>98705022>>98705037That's a LAM (Laser-Aiming Module), namely a PEQ-16. It also contains a flashlight and an infrared laser and illuminator for night vision.The others in the squad have one too, theirs are just on the top rail instead of the side. The tan box on all of the rifles at the end of the handguard is the same device.
>>98705030There have always been Rogal Forms in the guard since the first days of the Imperium
>>98705042I had to shorten my argument and I got lazy, forgeworld often did>Okay we made this as a battlefield thing and it gained traction so fuck the admech >this thing is actually not rare *but* special reasoning The 30k mechcanicum in 40k IA book was gonna have the reasoning that the tau stumbling on a forge world that had that shit in the basement
>>98704735>why would they release three Storm Speeders if they were going to bring Land Speeders back
>>98704956>How the fuck do Marine players not get overwhelmed by the amount of stuff they have?By only buying the things they like/care about?Do xenosfags really think that ALL marinefags just buy everything GW makes? Like do you really believe for example that an Iron Hands fan will care about and buy Blood Angels shit just because it is more space marines? No, they'll buy Iron Hands shit when it comes avaivable and ignore the BA stuff.
I have often had this argument written up but I think people barely would care for it also LONG Warhammer 40ks lore purity and table top are effectively both detrimental to each other and that utterly cracked 10 years ago. 40k built itself up on being stagnate, forced reuse of tech/relics thats appealed to the lore side heavily but its utter SUICIDE for a company trying to sell toys. This was often covered up for years with "Oh we found an STC, Forgeworld often giving paragraphs of okay these arent widespread BUT, or the admech hates we did this but fuck them. Centurions and Grav weapons around 2016 was the testament to that at that point.Many met Centurions with "what? when the fuck did they use this? Really they just found the STC and shat it out instantly?" You also see this with squad setups. I remember an often complained upon part in 9th was Assault Intercessors lacking jump packs for an entire edition. I saw the usual stuff you know the horus heresy complaints or destroying marine squad structure etc, but I also realized Assault Squads never always needed to WEAR jump packs because Heresy for some odd reason called the non JP ones Despoilers, its just something people gravitated towards because why wouldnt you want to use a cool jump pack? I looked into this rules wise and 98% of the time people often just gave them jump packs. I only found Blood Angel players typically ran on foot squads for specific strats but outside of that NOTHING and by the time Vanguard Vets came out the regular assault squad basically went MIA. VVs themselves are also per lore meant to be melee specialists but what did players do? Either SS and Thunderhammer or Lightning claw mono loadouts just because yet another lore vs table top mentality. Mixed loadouts in general fit more in a lore sense than a game sense and it did for years you saw them realize this around 7th/8th but it was too late primars were nearing completion phase.
>>98704972Not reallyit's based on an official image from a codex
Is it just me or this space marine from the new introductory set has 6 fingers on the hand supporting the bolter?
>>98705038>$450 plastic warhound>STILL no plastic secutarii
>>9870495670% of the releases are utter gutter trash, so can be safely ignored like how orkfags collectively wiped pic related from their memory.
>>98705072>>98705030People made this argument before but you can’t outright say it because both sides get mad. Tourism in 40k is odd because do you truly have to play table top? Or do you need to know lore? Many table top fans would be called tourists because they actually don’t know a lot of lore compared to a guy who only reads/plays video games
>>98704056Very nice, Anon. But we’re going to have to check your hard drive now.
>>98705076It's just you, anon.
>>98705073Yes that's preciely what I'm referencing when I'm telling you that they look like HPL.
>>98705080It’s best not to get caught into this argument it’s a mess I am in a chud discord that’s gone full anti table top due to the game being considered the reason 40k died
>>98704996fuck no, it has no xenos
>>98705030Aside from the tried and true "we found a new STC" and "this shit was always around you just never saw it", the Imperium/Admech has always made slight tweaks and adjustments to their tech. They're just super slow and cautious about it because they don't want to fuck up STCs and are always wary of shit exploding into chaos as it is wont to do. You had shit like the Cursed Founding were Admech tried to tweak and experiment with geneseeds and lo and behold almost every single one backfired horrendously.As scuffed as the sculpts were, Centurions were a perfect example of Imperium "innovation". Terminators aren't easily replaced and always in shorter supply than demand, so the Imperium tried to make something halfway as good by scaling existing exosuit tech to a larger space marine frame. It's not nearly as good as the thing it's meant to substitute, but it still showcases how the Imperium isn't completely allergic to innovation and development.
>>98704865>>98704860Remember Long Fangs? Good times.
>>98705078I was thinking about it after I posted and it makes more sense if they split it up>300 dollars for a 'base' model >50 dollars for rapetastic cannon, 50 dollars for the fuck you upgrade, 50 dollars for the third upgradeJust like baneblades. Make it affordable :^)
>>98705069>No, they'll buy Iron Hands shit when it comes avaivable and ignore the BA stuff.So, never then?
>>98704958i need that Nurgle one painted like Minions
>>98704167Onto legionaries yeah. You basically have to use the HH lascannons for them. They’ll be janky on Chosen, and will not fit on red corsairs.
>>98704961Krieger with a shovel
>>98705069if my LGS is anything to by, yes.
does anyone have/know the name of the image or the artist of that old giger style techpriest image with all the animal skull heads and chainsaw tongues? I've discovered that I can't find fucking anything on a search engine anymore
>>98705062You got so lazy you waved away the explanation that fixes your problem. That's how you resolve the issue you're discussing>This new vehicle isn't new but comes from a forgeworld recently reconsecrated>This vehicle is primarily made by one specific forgeworld so it's usually only found in this section of the galaxy>This frigate's design was recovered after these shipyards were siezed back from pirates>this is a vehicle designed by an artisan that was only recently approved after two centuries of debate and one archmagos getting murderedThat works
>>98705064They released one box with three build options for the storm speeder 6 years ago. They released three different kits across 5 different boxes for intercessors this year.
I feel like GW also capitulated to progression complaints because what the fuck is even happening rn what happened to the 4th tyrannic war? What’s happening with the ork waggggh?
I hope GW releases a chaos christmas battleforce with a defiler so I can buy it for the defiler and sell everything else.
>>98704056Why didn't you throw the female models in the bin?
>>98705132Nothing, and that's the best possible outcome.
>>98705084Go back to xitter chud
>>98705132Nigga they have been in a state of “progression” since 9th They never TRULY stopped the paraiah nexus in 9th either
>>98705092>>98705080If anything, people who play tabletop should be considered more "real fans" since the tabletop game is what the lore is actually for Personally though I think anyone can be a real 40k fan as long as they personally enjoy and respect any one of the three pillars of lore, painting, and gameplay
>>98705119“Tech-Priests” by Will Rees
>1 year laterwhere is he
>actual people don't give a shit about primarch fight 41k edition because it's primarchs and the same four worlds and nothing fucking happens>primarchfags don't give a shit about primarch fight 41k edition because nothing happens unlike in HH where people die and things change>GW decides, instead of going back to the universally acclaimed IA style of making up new places and then giving them lore, to just not bother at all
>>98705146good riddance, fuck that soijak looking motherfucker.
>>98705039>Who the fuck would run on foot assault squads?Melee characters needing a bodyguard that will also make them stronger.
>>98705142>>98705132>>98705148>Robute and lion still actually haven’t talked This is purely so the mcu small universe complaining stops btw GW does listen to feedback
>>98704987The consequences of removing wargear.
>>98705133I've been in a Tau mood lately so I might get a robot box
>>98705144Good inspiration for chaos tech priests
>>98705156But people still say nu 40k is small though, even though the writers seemingly do try to separate them
>>98705156throwing the toys out of the pram when the players don't immediately fellate your story is not a good way to run a setting, let alone a companyand there's no way to NOT get complaints about it being a small universe because GW fucking CUT IT IN HALF and don't write shit about people actually cut off from terra
>>98704279It’s slow because they tried to squat them and merge Craftworld Eldar and Drukhari together into one faction with the Ynnari, but it was so insanely unpopular they’re reversing course. So think about the time they abandoned the Ynnari plotline, and that’s when they went oh shit, and started working on new deldar designs.
>grey knight renew rumored for a long time>legion of the damned being included in KT before grey knightsShould I lose hope already?
>>98705156>>98705148People keep saying 40k is primarch spam but where exactly is both Lion and Robute now? They haven’t been mentioned in forever
>>98705121or just>we found this STC after at battle at random place
>>98705170Never lose hope that the last of the peak boys will remain.
>>98705172>>98705156I mean uh..I think..Where the fuck ARE they?
>>98705170grey knights are going to be a codex launch not a small testing the waters kill team
>>98705144I'll toll the bell thrice for you, anon, thanks
>>98705172They are still dealing with nids I think
>>98704987Removal of Wargear lists and its consequences
>>98705172It really does scream GW saw the complaints and just gave up. Even in the 4th tyrannic war they didn’t do anything exactly. Chuds won btw
>>98704978The crazy amount of bits was the best part of intercessors. I used the box mags to make banestrike bolters in Heresy back in the day .
>>98705069Looking at my local Marine players, they buy whatever Auspex Tactics said won a tourney or has a “BIG COMBO” and claim to be fans of the unit.
>>98705172Grogs just keep repeating points and opinions so much they think it’s common opinion actually. Primarch spam doesn’t really happen even Titus has more presence than Robute
>>98705086Damn, I had to look online for the image of the Sprue. Somehow the first coat of the base color didn’t covered all the surface of the weapon and made it look like there was an extra finger. Sorry for sounding retarded, it was a long time since I primed and did the base coat on the marines.
>>98704969Those were all squatted when the 5th ed codex came out newfag. Dark Eldar are the newest refresh in 40k. They aren't the last in line, they were first, and everyone else needed 16 years to catch up. Now we're full circle you're all complaining but you were the most spoiled race besides Space Marines for like a straight decade.
Which part of the weirdboy shows their clan? Box art has a checkerboard on the cloth so that?
>>98705156>I need my heckin primarcherinos to talk to each other!!!Why? So they can trade quips and go out for schwarma like the heckin Avengers?
>>98705190I liked full wargear optionality but I think the different datasheets is a good thing in this case. Being in a different armor type effects the entire statblock and function of the unit, not just their weapon profiles, and it lets them have datasheet abilities suited to their roles
>dark eldar were the most spoiled race with their resin and metal models and vect never getting a new model
>>98705225So the rogue inquisitor who's listening to demons can accuse them of sedition over the Imperium Secundus and start a mini civil war between various Inquisition groups.Like in heckin' TTS :^)
>>98705230Gimme plastic sslyth with snake boobies
>>98705233Oh my god you aren’t getting this shit give up
>>9870521842% of that refresh has been squatted btw
>>98705219its mostly carried by general color scheme, but it can literally be anywhere, HOWEVER, the only places with room on him would be>center of chest>arm tattoo>cloakyou can also put some blue paint on his to make it more apparent he’s a deathskull or you can paint the head of the staff to resemble the evil sunz symbol with a red skull and black flames.
>>98705251Yeah and you still got them years before anyone else got refreshed
>>98705230It's a really funny larp. I think he's just pissed by the idea that his tau tanks or his catachans or his chaos bikers don't need an update as badly as a range literally falling apart edition by edition.
>you lost 42% of your range but it's cool because shit was fresh af in 2011
>>98705257>oh no I have to wait to get model updates>meanwhile every other fucking army had to wait 10-15 years longerCry about it faggot
>>98705218Technically Grey Knights were first in line. They're clearly the most spoiled faction.
>>98705254>You got models a long time ago!Congratulations, that's what we're complaining about?
>>98705263marines have been refreshed twice or in some cases three times in the time since then
>>98705263At least you can still buy those 20+ year old sculpts. Drukhari have units less than a year old that have already been squatted.
>>98705255Tau tanks are the same as eldar wave serpents or dark eldar ravagers and literally don't need an update and the tau whining is gay.Catachans are baffling because there have been multiple times GW could have put them in a kill team box just this year.Chaos bikers are confirmed for a refresh in 11th anyway with doomrider.
>>98705268Yeah but the primaris refresh and squatting of firstborn was a negative, not a positive, so that's like the worst argument ever.
i will say it is incredibly funny that instead of refreshing kabalite warriors, GW put an upgrade sprue in a kill team and 6 months after giving it rules in 40k for the first time it got squatted
>>98705271They literally had the perfect opportunity for Catachan with the red terror box and they made them Cadians again for some stupid fucking reason. I don't think Guard is hurting particularly badly and gets lots of cool new stuff but it's like the most obvious glaring oversight that they have to be avoiding them on purpose.
>>98705280also exodites was literally on a jungle planet CATACHANS ARE FROM A JUNGLEI have to believe catachans will be refreshed Soon (TM) because otherwise it seems like GW fucked catachan over twice.
>>98705279Remember when they told everyone they wouldn't be getting 40k rules like all the other kill teams and just should be used as Warrior proxies even with blades instead of guns? Those were fun times.The even funnier thing is the six months they were available to buy they were horrendous and had janky rules that didn't work with transports, and then they finally fixed it with the launch of 11th just before the discontinued the kit and now no one can buy them now that they're useful.
>>98705271the problem with tau tanks is that having only 1 main gun isn't good enough anymore. just having 1 shot from a hammerhead isn't doing a whole lot.
>>98705293do you think this isn't also a problem with the dark eldar tanks
Got to play a game with my newly painted femstodes and got a victory by turn 3 by killing off almost all of my opponents units! Highlights include him destroying my Achilles dread on turn 1 and me destroying his executioner by making my charge with my second executioner. It was a fun game, I see why so many people pick purge the foe as their detachment
>>98705294yeah, i'm just saying that all the tanks from the early 2000's don't fit the meta anymore and they all need to be updated.
I don't see any reason for primarchs to be involved with anything, unless it is a political event and story moving event. Or if they're doing the classic primarch vs primarch wwe cage match.
>>98705294The ravager being the main tank of the faction with only three S12 shots is awful. Their actual main tank is more like the Voidraven Bomber which has the only S14 weapons but is an aircraft and limited by all the jank that comes with that. And that might even get squatted this edition if flyers are on the way out.
>>98705297Sounds like instead they should just release a Dark Elf Reapager with two+ guns and a Tau Lemon Shark with two+ guns
why does the focused anti-tank tank get 12 shots s5 ap1 dam 1that's so much damage for freewhy does the redemptor get 16 shots at 5-1-1 on top of the big plasma gun and the AA rocketpodwhy does every god-forsaken marine gun have like 10+ s5ap1dam1 shots for free
>>98705307just combine the Hammerhead and Sky Ray into the new tank, the Hammerhead Executioner. GW just has to mold an upgrade sprue that lets you put the rail gun and the missile rack on the same turret.
>>98704138Lazy man's army that attracts secondaries
>>98705312Because all imperium tanks get a bunch of shooting from sponsons.
>>98705296long side deployments suck, I'm not surprised you killed each other so easily
>>98705312They put guns on the model to make it look cool.
>>98705312My only solace is these thanks having 3+ save and don't get to save vs. my ap-4 attacks except for armor of gay. Reaper variant makes 36 attacks at ap2, with the gattling having sustained 2.
>>98705296Are your bikes on flying stands on top of biker bases? I must be missing something, surely you didn't put the entire fucking base on top of another instead of just putting the flight stick into the biker base
I figure genestealer cultist clothes can be painted differently because they're unique individuals and also infiltrators so a uniform look would be counterproductive but do their mutant freaky ass models all share characteristics because they're all from the same source? I'm not really sure how this works.
>>98705331Ironstorm Spearhead has an upgrade that gives tanks a 5+ invuln for 25 points.
>>98704958Still sold out EVERYWHERE
>>98704956If the Marine dex actually was only real marine units and not primaris garbage it'd only be like 20 units or so. "Codex bloat" for marines is a fucking myth; it's a problem created by GW making a bunch of worthless bullshit, and then selling you a "solution" of getting rid of real marine units
>>9870396610th, but now in 11th they are adding costs back in.Detachments are themed, suits of buffs for your army.So you can make your army actually E good at say using jump units, or specialized into using tanks.
>>98705346>but do their mutant freaky ass models all share characteristics because they're all from the same source?Typically yeah but you can just as easily justify them all being different because of weird gene expressions or something, a mutant is a mutant.
>>98705346What do you want to do? Cultists all fucked up and different to contrast them from Brood Brothers with standardized military uniforms or having a standard "works in the mines" uniform?
>>98705387I want human looking dudes or the clothes muties are wearing to all be different even though they're in the same unit while also having something that unifies the army. I just don't really know at all how it works in the lore. I think they're all associated with a certain tyranid hive fleet and these different fleets have different appearances so I just pick a hive fleet I like the color scheme of and that's my unifying appearance for the army?
>>98705301Good thing this shitty opinion you hold is in the extreme minority
>>98704739They're are SOME Armoured, but many still have crop tops, and tops that show cleavage too, you literally will not find cleavage in ANY 40k property outside the drukhari and like 2 necromunda models.
>>98705398>think they're all associated with a certain tyranid hive fleet and these different fleets have different appearances so I just pick a hive fleet I like the color scheme of and that's my unifying appearance for the army?hive fleets are associated with hive fleets. Cults are associated with Cults, like the Cult of the Four Armed Emperor.
>>98705398What I did for my cult was to pick a tyranid scheme and paint all the carapace and skin of the earlier generations with that, with the Patriach/Purestrains being that color only. Hybrids all wear clothes and robes, you can pick a color that suits into your tyranid scheme. I went for dark purple carapace and grayish blue for skin. For the clothes, it's dark green and burgundy. The ribbed armor is the same across everyone.You'll be painting SO many models and I'd suggest keeping it simple.
>>98705402You're right, they should be more involved and be central to every plot point instead, but never, ever, EVER, interact with eachother. Stfu you fool.
>>98705420okay so they're destabilizing worlds not for a specific fleet on the way but just for any fleet that happens to wander by?
>>98705398>(clothes) all to be different even though they're in the same unit while also having something that unifies the army.Harder to do with the GSC models, they're basically made to look like space miners, but if you end up doing a lot of conversions or using other models you can pick 2-3 tones that are muted and work together as general clothing around and have the bold skin/claws and tones link them together. Should stand out easily enough on the battlefield.
>>98705476>>98705447>>98705420Thanks GSCbros
>>98705467Enough genestealer mass makes a psychic beacon that attracts whoever is nearby. Some cults stay and get eaten, some go out as refugees to seed other worlds. If you want to do gestural reference colour scheme wise to a hive fleet go for it. The unpredictable spread of the genestealers does mean whichever fleet answers the call could easily be different thought. Especially with space hulks irregular travel.
>>98705484I'm going to look up the cults anon mentioned and see if I can grab colors from them and default to picking a hive if that doesn't make sense.
>>98705467okay so the lore is like this>genestealer patriarch/broodlord is out there in the universe on a ship or something>gets into a settled society and starts impregnating chicks with its genes and mental hypnosis>the fucked up mutant offspring worship Father and bring the word of Father's alien god to the unworthy masses, to save them when the Star Children arrive to bring them salvation>most genestealer cults, similar to chaos cults, are unaware the gods aren't coming to save them to eat their facesBut some of them are doomsday cults and fully aware the star children will devour the world
>>98705497>gets into a settled society and starts impregnating chicks with its genes and mental hypnosisno, they also impregnate men
>>98703862>they say but again don't ask me exactly why.Because white desaturated the color
>>98705504Just like vampires, it's gay for male aliens to bite men
>>98705506Seems like a good explanation to me who doesn't know.
>>98703556>editionI remember this
Do psyker abilities still work even if you fail the roll and get battle-shocked?
>>98705621yes
>>98705641I thought so but one of the art of war guys said they don't in a video (he blood angels one) and I started to doubt.
fuck now i kinda want a yellow or orange army but i neither wanna paint deldar or csm that way (altho i still don't know which scheme to go for deldar)>>98705649unless there is an errata/faq we're not aware off the structure of psychic is just>power<roll d6, on 1 get BShockpower effect

>>98705681Thanks for saving me money and time, anon.I still waste it here instead of painting.
>>98705758I pray that you find the wisdom to paint the shit you've already got assembled. I pray the same for myself.

Has anyone used the Gunpla Pour Markers? If the videos are to be believed, they flow perfectly into recesses through 'capillary action' and avoids the flat panels. Anyone with experience with these markers?
>>98705813Bubbles are exaggerated to death, can be popped when they occur and they only occur on the very light color tones from my experience with almost 40 vallejo game colors. Yeah looking at you Stonewall gray and Bonewhite. That being said I painted 100 models with it and it's fine. Metallic have 0 issue
>>98705907Just use an enamel wash
>>98705907Grab Tamiya Panel Liner and thank me later
>>98705923>tamiya mentionedIs there any tangible difference between their plastic cements? Or are they all negligible? I have quick setting extra thin cement and it is starting to run low and the bottom of it is turning grey like I somehow dropped some plastic sprue dust inside and it is gumming up.Still it is amazing how the Japanese make good hobby stuff.
>>98705934>tamiya running lowNow I'm about to blow your mind. Instead of getting a new bottle, you buy Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner instead and use it to fill your bottles. Tamiya's cement is a 50:50 mix of butyl acetate and acetone, Airbrush Cleaner is 51:49 mix of the same stuff. It's basically the same thing for significantly less money, I've been using it as cement myself.
I like Vostroyan FirstbornsI wish GW had expanded on different regiments more instead of just more Cadia stuff. The reprint gave me slight hope for a while but seems it was just that. Maybe someday...
>>98705958The whole "models must have rules" legal copyright bullshit is extremely lame. They could release 3-4 special guardsmen kits that simply act like cadians/dkok/catachans in the codex but are modeled as Vostroyans/Steel Legion/Mordian/etc. They would make a fuck ton of money. Guard is the one army I can for sure say they are losing sales to third parties either via printing or resin casts.
>>98705950I'm going to try and extend the plastic brush to use as much as possible.As for the airbrush cleaner. Is it really safe on airbrushes when it can be used as a plastic cement alternative.>t. used gaahleri pistol grip 68 airbrush>messed up>left it dirty>probably a good brush but I am retarded with airbrushes on top of being retardedAs weird as it sounds I sometimes feel iffy on saving money stuff when I want to support the LGS if that makes sense.
So how long do we wait until the legion of damned minis are released, might the first GW purchase I make in over 5 years -from a 3rd party recaster at least
>>98705977>Guard is the one army I can for sure say they are losing sales to third parties either via printing or resin casts.I don't think they are losing money. It is more like they are not or barely meeting expectations from GW if I'm being honest.Paypiggy/waacfag wallets are huge, anon. But I imagine the "casual sales" are why guard isn't meeting expectations. If that is the case.
>>98705984The whole point of the cleaner is to chew through the acrylic binder that settles in your Airbrush for thorough cleaning, it also chews through the plastic the same way and makes it malleable which is how it also acts as a "glue" in the first place. I use it to clean my temu airbrush though it's dead now due to its tip, but it really cleaned up everything. You get 200ml of the stuff for $2 more.
>>98705977I doubt they would when other companies now make better minis, look at these and honesty ask yourself if modern GW could do better
>>98705958>>98705977It's difficult because at what point does it become too much or too little? How many special guard flavours can you realistically sell before bloating the range of units for the faction. I feel like people would be just as unhappy if they released a single unit box of 10 dudes that can only be used to proxy for example. I am on the fence about what they'll do with Steel Legion when it comes out too, best case they get a krieg treatment with like 5 kits and a character, but even then it feels like that aspect of "did we really need more unique rules" comes to mind.
>>98706030>spaces wolves don’t notice a dude casually walking around amongst themI can see why the marines malevolent were able to get the jump on them.
>look up composition of airbrush thinner>danger sheet for tamiya thinner tells you it's made of 49/51 butyl acetate and acetone>danger sheet for vallejo airbrush thinner tells you it has 2.5-10% 2-butoxyethanol and the rest is unspecified (water)those greedy fucking hiberians
>>98703577Me too!
>>98706048Anon, the acetone and buthyl acetate formula is tamiyas cleaner, not thinner. If you sprayed this on your minis it'd start melting the plastic.
>>98703577Orks aren't my style but I like playing against them
>>98706047Perhaps there’s a far more dangerous looming threat approaching from distance, did you ever consider that a possibility or do you have a one track mind like an ape?
>>98706056I managed to mistype airbrush cleanerhttps://www.vestergaardgroup.com/image/catalog/safetydocs/430783.pdf
Is Custodes the first codex without psykers of the edition? Have we seen if they get a secondary army rule of some kind for armies without psykers or do they just get nothing?

>>98706068leeman russ sucks dog penis
>>98706102There are no dogs on fenris
>>98706045They don't need to bloat rules to sell aesthetically different guard is the entire point. Nobody fucking asked for cadians infantry squads, catachan infantry squads and krieg infantry squads to all have different rules.
I'm trying to turn this cheap-o Thomas Jefferson bust into an inquisitor statue for terrain. What else do I need?
>>98706068a one track mind exactly describes what they’re doing. absolutely engrossed in whatever they’re doing at the moment, paying no heed for anything around them. a squad of proper fighters would understand that although whatever threat they may be facing may be great, its a blunder to leave a potential threat lurking around, and so would have one squad member aim his gun to quickly take him out before joining in with the squad in firing. as it stands, there’s a space marine at the front with his back turned to the guy with a gun and chainsword, and the rest of the squad is completely ignoring him. space marines are strong but they aren’t invincible, and hoping to react in time or that he won’t hit you in a critical weakpoint is arrogant and foolish.
>>98706051he looks so dead inside.
>>98705758I have a box somewhere with some untouched metal Necron Warriors and Wraiths I bought probably 20 years ago from a hobby store that went out of business. I remember thinking they'd look cool just cleaned up and polished with some jewelry paste. I'm gonna try to find them and do something with them over the winter.
>>98706122Aquilas, skulls, purity seals, a tube coming from nose or ear. Maybe tiny little wires embedded in the forehead and disappearing into the hair? Shoulder pads? Can't tell what size the bust is, but maybe Knight shoulder pads could fit it? Put a bunch of purity seals onto the pedestal with candles and skulls on top. Maybe servo-skulls/cherubs buzzing around for scale.
>>98706126They will inevitably turn and shoot him in the head before he did any damage to a brother, you are underestimating the speed and precision of a standard SW Marine which almost always has 2-3x the battle experience that other chapter Marines have.
>>98706068maybe there’s a big wolf mother angry at the wolves for sexually abusing her cubs? anyway, just wanted to give you a threadly reminder no one here likes you.that is all.
>>98706143>SW Marine … has 2-3x the battle experience that other chapter Marines have.I’d like to see you give a source for that. just the book would be fine. I’ve read a few of them.
>>98706122Dunno if this helps but here's a bunch of art of art of planetary governors from 40k total war.I suggest some small scorch marks and chipping at his hair
>>98706131He knows he won't fit in because he's made of metal... at least until I paint my metal Nazdreg
>>98706009After I use up my airbrush cleaner stuff I'll look into Tamiya's stuff. Is it top tier airbrush cleaner in keeping your awful temu airbrush going above it's price point?>>98706014>VictoriaMiniatures mogging GW at sculpting female faces and painting female facesHow does she do it? >late pledge going on myminifactoryb-bros my wallet gonna hurt...
>>98706151It’s their overall culture and the planet the come from, it’s far more hostile and listed as a “Death World” it’s only natural they would have evolved as a superior fighting peoples.
>>98706168Most chapters recruit from death worlds tourist.
>>98706168You ban evading nigger recruiting from deathworlds is COMMON for astartes chapters, space yiffs are not fucking special in that regard
>>98706177It’s their home world tho as well you fat idiot
>>98706143their greatest chapter master was beaten by an unarmored world eater btw
>>98706168anon, I asked you to give me a source on that number, and you gave me speculation.
>>98706188Their Primarch was humbled by ours tho, never forget that.
>>98706198the furfag primarch lost to angron too lmao
>>98706194his source is grok summaries of BL books
>I-I contribute so much to threads!>only jumps in for lame primarch/SW discussion>doesn't even know the lore properly>pulls details from his ass every timeYou could even say his knowledge is very... LIMITED
>>98706198what book did that happen? better yet, answer my original question >>98706151
>>98706198Hey remember when Leman missed the siege of Terra and then afterwards fucked off into the Warp with his best men on a suicide mission?
>>98706210I’m not going to spoon feed you well know lore tidbits, you’re a big boy so go do some research. Listen to what Lorgar had to say after Angrons confrontation with Leman.
>>98706215You can't spoonfeed them because you only listen to youtube AI summaries of plot points
>>98706218This conversation has run its course
>>98706222see >>98706102
>He still hasnt given a single source for his claim that space wolves have 3x the experience of the average marine
>>98706222KWAB
>>98706139>>98706160Very useful! Thanks!
Page 8 New Thread>>98706235>>98706235>>98706235I decided to change the edition because I’m spiteful.
>>98706160>Baroness for a man>Dux and Consul for womenI will not chud out about this, but the incorrect usage of gendered titles bothers my pedantic autism greatlyI don't care about muh gothic language, the rest of the gendered titles are correct. There's no man titled "duchess," no woman titled "underlord," why are the ones I mentioned above wrongYes I know "dux" can be used for women, but it'd need a modifier like "dux femina" as was used to refer to Dido in the Aeneid because dux on its own is masculine.>>98706163>How does she do it?Fwiw, some of those faces are based on real people, which are far easier to sculpt because you're following a model instead of making a generic face."Commander Caine" is Michael Caine, specifically from his role as Gonville Bromhead in Zulu. "Lt. Sean Blackthorn" is Sean Bean, specifically from his role as Sharpe in the series of the same name.I can't speak on the other ones.
>>98706245>but the incorrect usage of gendered titles bothers my pedantic autism greatlyThe games is in like alpha development so the random name generator with the random art for governors it gives is still be tinkered with. These are all randomly generated govnerors for the same single world.I like Baroness Jacob Gerantus as a weird non binary obese lesbian monster looking person.
>>98705398>the clothes muties are wearing to all be different even though they're in the same unit while also having something that unifies the armyYou could make the clothes different colour but have the armour and nid bits all have the same colour scheme.
>>98703597The main reason I chose to do my own faction is because I wanted to be able to write my own stories about them without just working them into the shadows of existing characters. If they're a whole new group, I have complete freedom. Also because I like to mix and match tropes or themes from different groups and pick my own color scheme
