We all know everyone is painting plasma/energy, but are you doing it with a side of spooky?
>>98787099>Whatcha doing for the collage?I'm gonna look for a nice light brass colored paint for classic metal coils for my plasma energy weapon. Maybe consider it "powered down." >side of spooky?I have some metal "three wise monkey" models but they aren't 40k and instead are skeletons. Maybe they'll count as the spooky part and I just paint a 3D printed plasma weapon and them standing over it. >paint vault link is off OP after being on sometimesAre OPs having a war over that link being on or off? What's wrong with Paint Vault aside from not having their color references as actual photos like the catbox link?
>>98787099>Whatcha doing for the collage?Nothing, wanna paint grots
>TQ We actually don’t know that everyone is doing plasma, many are doing purely spooky themes.
>>98787099>TQHellblasters>are you doing it with a side of spookyI'm using reaver heads w/ the skull masks.
>>98787099>TQvery early WIP of a plasma redemptor
>>98787111>paint vault link is off OP after being on sometimes>Are OPs having a war over that link being on or off? What's wrong with Paint Vault aside from not having their color references as actual photos like the catbox link?OP here, I don’t know, I’ve been using the same copy that I did months ago, so I don’t accidentally paste over a subtly vandalized thread. Its more likely someone decided to add it in without announcing it, and I’ve just been posting my old one. if you could post the link, I can add it to my copy, so its guaranteed to be in more OP’s
>>98787099>Whatcha doing for the collage? We all know everyone is painting plasma/energy, but are you doing it with a side of spooky?Speaking of DG, I might submit this guy, seems a little spooky, first model I ever painted.
>>98787143Did you paint him this month?
>>98787122post one nigga.seriously one. the last dude who said this said someone was doing a lord of poxes (has plasma gun) and legion of the damned (also has plasma gun).
>>98787143>first modelits gotta be painted during the month. its part of the fun that we see everyone wips and what the made specifically then instead of just grabbing it off a shelf of your 2000 point army.
>>98787099>TQNeurolicky with glowy brains. I’m planning to paint them like plasma coils, where the glow is coming from deep inside the brain and seeping up through the cracks, while the thicker brain mass we see in the surface wrinkles is shadowed.
>>98787099>TQGonna do spooky hellblaster. Like hellblaster being dragged into a dark pit with a bunch of skellingtons and corpses and tendrilsnof darkness. It's gonna be a BA one, I'm thinking it could represent the black rage or something.
>>98787099Could try making the orb and trail thing Szeras comes with plasma or energy. Guess I'll try to attach it to him and see how the painting comes out whenever I do that, it'll be my first collage too!
I like the short story that is attached to this artworkit's simple but it shows how normal tau (not water caste) interact with humanity
>>98787142>I’ve been using the same copy that I did months ago, so I don’t accidentally paste over a subtly vandalized thread.Understandable. I thought it was thread making autism. I have an eye for this kind of detailing, but I always manage to miss a resin bubble of a recast or black primer spot I forgot to paint on a model. Don't know why.Here is the paint vault link:https://www.paint-vault.com/The biggest thing Paint Vault has is that it covers "lesser known" lines of paint like AK's 3rd gen paints that aren't their standard like AFV, Figure and AIR for historical autists like guardfags.It covers Wargames Foundry paints too for the few that know of it. But like most paint color tracking websites it has the same autism where the color hexes might be off or very off.
>>98787169>googoo gaga>babby wah baba
>>98787185?
>>98787169Always a pleasure to see your models with your painting style. How do you feel about old school styled miniatures being digitally sculpted to be distributed as printable STLs anyway? Just curious.
>>98787175That's an Ethereal in disguise bruh
>>98787099I am painting firstborn hellblasters.
>>98787176its added in, and will be included whenever I make a new thread.thanks.
>>98787175>it's simple but it shows how normal tau (not water caste) interact with humanityQuick rundown? Is it one of the BL written works that is actually good not just because it is about Warhammer and a competent author? >>98787189I think it is a troll. Not sure who if the autist has been given a name.
>>98787189look at these little fucks and tell me they don’t look like little toddlers bout to head to war.
>>98787192Thanks. It doesn't bother me or anything but I like to collect the real models from the time so it's probably not for me. Usually only resort to 3d prints for arms and stuff that has been lost over the decades.
>>98787200TROLL? WHERE?
>>98787202Show some respect those toddlers are old enough to be your dad
>>98787099>TQI got no fucking idea brother.
>>98787169>>98787202Old marines always remind me of those little plastic guys you could get in vending machines like M.U.S.C.L.E or Homies, or the little colored ninja guys.
>>98787229>salamandersI can understand plasma, but not even a trusty melta?
>>98787236oh hey kinnikuman in /40kg/ for me it's Mariquitaman
>>98787151>>98787161Got it, I'll find something I painted more recently.
>>98787229I really fucking hate the guy up the top on these things. What is it with GW and putting space marine's heads between the weapons on their vehicles.
>>98787200its in the 3rd ed codex so I doubt its BLoh wait its an ethereal in disguise lolQRD:>human and marine are invited due to a colony dispute>get shown off the city and a tau combat dome, where one of the fights they witness resemble the colony>tau in charge eventually talks to the humans>The alien fixed his gaze on Palmatus and said, "You have seen what my warriors can do Raphael. Can you not see the foolishness on your continued resistance to our colonists on Nimbosa? I respect your people, they are brave and have done all that honour demands, but they cannot stamd against us. You came here to begin protracted negotiations in order to delay our attack and allow ypur own forces time to reach Nimbosa. That will not happen. The Kor bring me word that your vessels are many months away and that Nimbosa will be ours long before that.">Captain Taelos began to speak, but Palmatus smoothly interrupted, saying, "I presume then that you are Aun'O T'olku K'yna.">"I have that honour, yes," nodded the Tau Ethereal.>"Then you should know that when our ships arrive at Nimbosa we will fight you, The Emperor does not give up worlds his servants have claimed in his name>"You are a wise man, Raphael Palmatus, and, despite his modest words, I know that your militart advisor here is no ordinary soldier. You should go back to your Emperor and tell him what you have seen here. Tell him of all the people that will die in his name and ask him if its worth suchba price to stand in our way.">"We will fight you, alien," snarled Captain Taelos, "To the last drop of blood we will fight you.">"I know," replied the Tau sadly and turned away.
How do I get a warhammer gf?
>>98787307didn't you already get banned for spamming this shit?
>>98787312Like that ever stops anyone
>>98787303>its in the 3rd ed codex so I doubt its BLAre codex lore snippets generally better than BL stuff even to this day? Also how much of the Tau lore has changed from their original inception to how they are currently in 40k lore? I am not sure if they were intended to be a foil to the imperium by being "good" or if they always were meant to look good on the surface but actually be terrible. I do like them as a collective of alien races to resist the IoM and upstarts that are slowly losing their innocence.I also am not sure if GW is gonna cave into the blueberry fanart of Tau girls if they did or not by having attractive blueberries.Has GW ever given into rampant 40k fanart or always having "subvert expectations" autism?>>98787307Get a GF and get her into Warhammer or at least to respect your Warhammer hobby.>no tomboy gf >be too ugly even post weight lossI hate myself.
>>98787307But more space wolves like a REAL alpha!
I like orks :D
>>98787325>Are codex lore snippets generally better than BL stuff even to this day?Yep, all the fourth tyrannic war stuff from last edition are better than any tyranid fluff written by BL
Random question for all, because I figure if anyone is going to know it'll be one of you guys - has anyone ever talked about/made a 40k themed mod/reskin of 'Fury of Dracula'?It seems like such a natural fit, and I'm fighting the urge to do it myself, but I'm curious if anyone has ever done it before.
>>98787325nu-GW/BL lore tends to make the tau "grimdark" by basically having the ethereals be evil mindcontrolling dickheads who disappear people like its the CCP>yeah uhm actually the pope and cardinals control a CULT and are EVIL!$5 bet phil kelly browses r/atheism
>>98787357oh and the tau goddess of the greater good is pure and utter dogshit and I hope all BL writers are hung from their entrails over the walls of warhammer world for coming up with such a fucking stupid idea
>>98787339Oh yeah? Name 10.
>>98787357Tau hav always been an allegory for commies.
>>98787176>try using the website to match a color i like, but it's in liquitex basics so it flows like cement through an airbrush>all the closest matches are out of production or only available in europoor>closest actually available is citadeli mcfucking hate myself for using that website and trying to find something.

Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98787099>Whatcha doing for the collage?A lotd box dread, if I actually manage to finish it this month...
>>98787370yeah but this comes off as an authors hatred of religion (as the ethereals are the spiritual leaders of the tau) more than anything to do with ideology etc
>>98787383You forgot Gorgutz
>>98787307Talk to girls at the game stores? Also remember to be tall and attractive, otherwise you might get arrested or worse, banned from the store.
>>98787370>Space NATO>Weeb mecha but xeno (and british mech designs hence the blocky non sleek designs)>Tau society has a distinct caste system >All tau are above all other xenosYet somehow Tau are communist? Only retarded fucking yanks thought so >hurr durr they beleive in the greater good and being equal but there's a clear hierarchy in leadership so its communist
>>98787404How is it space Nato? Nato doesn't do aggressive spheres of expansion(yet). It's a defensive pact innit?
>>98787404Tau's initial artwork was definitely inspired by the Gulf War. It was all mechanized soldiers jumping out of APCs with air support and main battle tanks against a background of sand.
>>98787397sorry, don’t like RTS games, so he didn’t come to mind.
>>98787383Fair enough, go punch some teef out of some git's gob.
>>98787411that was the taros campaign if anything else
>SubtlyI love how fucking retarded old GW as, it was cute.
>>98787391>Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
Why did they make a new defiler before a new helbrute?
>>98787416Anon, that was a fucking joke...
>>98787408>Nato doesn't do aggressive spheres of expansion(yet).Balkans? Iraq? Afghanistan?
>>98787428because the defiler was 23 years old
>>98787428Because the defiler kit was much older, simple.
>>98787430Which one of those was taken over?
>>98787408Theres a design document or QandA of them beign described as NATO in how they conduct war, mixed militray doctrine, using modern war fighting techniques with drones rather than the WW1/WW2 style the imperium uses. Also the many allied xenos to the Tau is meant to represent the allied countries under NATO. Everyones equal but its America thats running the show unquestionably etcThe Tau fire warrior armour colour scheme is mean to invoke the desert camo the US was using in the Iraq war
>>98787099>TQI don't really have anything plasma to paint, so I grabbed some Chaos Spawn off ebay that I'm gonna paint up to go with my World Eaters. I did something for them last year's October collab so it'd be kinda full circle.
>>98787408I think it's more like how NATO will do military interventions by framing them as humanitarian/we're-the-good-guys reasons. Similarly, the tau will invade an imperial planet and sincerely believe they're doing it to improve things (like the US invading some middle eastern shithole and trying to turn it into a western democracy). Plus the tau fight like a modern force while the imperium usually fights like it's still ww2, which parallels stuff like the gulf war and the US invasion of iraq (smaller modern fighting force rolling over numerically superior but poorly equipped army).Come to think of it, I would be very interested in a story about the Tau trying to integrate an Imperial world and having to deal with imperial cult terrorists afghanistan style.
>>98787430Are you paid to be retarded or do you propagandist for free?
>>98787099Think im just going to paint a nexos, just need to figure out how to do a proper job with the OSL as I want the table to look like the contents on it are a hologram
>>98787398I’m 5’7” and 250 lbs and I used to creampie my gorgeous 20 year old girlfriend in the bathroom of a Filipino restaurant next to the store.The real answer is be funny and paint well
>>98787435Iraq for more than 20 years.Croatia, Albania, Slovenia.
>150 for a fucking combat patrol WITH a discount dude...
>>98787527It's a difference of $5 in leaf bucks when buying from the flgs, It's not that bad.
So I managed to snag this box over the weekend. Based on what I've looked up, is this the best way to build the box optimally for the new codex?>Blade Champion>Shield Captain from one of the Custodian Guard>3x Custodian Guard (Shields/Swords + Vexilus)>2x Wardens w/ Spears>3x Wardens w/ Spears/Vexilus>3x Allarus TertminatorsThat puts me a little under 1400 points, and I could take it up to at least 1500 by turning the other spare Custodian Guard into another Shield Captain. Do I have better options than this?
>>98787428Huh, sauce
>>98787513Damn I'm jelly
>>98787565the allarus terminators can also make an allarus captain, the only difference is the chest plate.the wardens can also make a shield captain. since you get 5 in a box, you get 3 standard dudes, one guy with a banner, and one captain.
>>98787568one of the milk factory visual novels, idk the name.
