Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
UHHHHH 40KBROS?financebros are laughing at us....
>>98807415>financebrosWho cares lmao, they're pathetic particularly after the whole NFT shemozzle. Talk Warhammer 40K, retard zoomer
>>98807406>TQWay too high when it comes to annoying jokes that get repeated ad nauseum. I think it is mostly kids and teens into those overdone jokes.>buuuuuutThey eventually "bleed" into the LGS interactions. Oddly enough I wonder if GW 'fights' fanart when it comes to 'fan concepts' like the alpha legion decloaking thing was changed to just armor paintjobs.
>>98807406>tqI love 40k fanart
>>98807419maybe you should read the article>On Warhammer’s myriad online forums, talk of over-saturation follows every IP licensing agreement. Each new edition of figures leads to grumbles that the company is boiling the frog — not just through unit price inflation, but by increasing the number of miniatures hobbyists need to play the various games. Every attempt to make gaming more accessible has raised concerns that new players won’t have the same franchise loyalty.
>>98807425>Narrowing the view to direct sales only, the trends are less positive. Retail growth per store turned negative for the first time since the pandemic in the second half of its 2026 financial year, with online direct sales no longer picking up the slack:
>>98807431>Games Workshop bears argue that the trade channel has added too many retailers who view Warhammer as a side hustle, and that online stores are using their additional RRP discount to drive volumes at low margins. Both trends have been built on rising demand. But as soon as sales plateau, independent retailers are left with excess inventory and the growth flywheel goes into reverse. Falling revenue per trade account could be the first sign of that happening.
>>98807412>>98807415>>98807425>>98807431>>98807435Didn't ask.

Posting WiP?Uh, I think so.
>>98807323Maybe? I played a demo and it felt like it's doing what 40k is trying to do but with way fewer factions and units. My LGS is competitive focused and they seem to like it, I think that's Starcraft's angle anyway.
What are the Christmas boxes?
GW gave the guard a bunch of stuff and orks and space marines for armageddonWorld Eaters should have gotten stuff too, they're also there, where's the the chaos equal attention cake?
>>98807502>Starcraft wargame targets tourneyfags>40k can finally go back to narrative sovl and "I just think it's neat"Please
>>98807522Everyone was on armageddon at this point.
>>98807525I don't think we'll be that fortunate. Funnily enough Starcraft will be getting narrative books as well.
>>98807502Idk if its competitive at allWe’ve only played completely for fun up to this point
>>98807406>What are your thoughts on the influence that fanart can have on the Warhammer 40k community?Doesn't really bother me I think Warhammerbros don't know what truly shitty fucking community jokes/fanart looks like and should count their blessings Take your fucking heresy, Ork belief, and Tau titty posting, and fucking be grateful
>>98807406>TQI think it's funny that fanart turned Eldar into the officially designated cuck faction
>>98807531Maybe arcady is a better word for it.

>>98807526not the tau
I wonder if the Lord of Skulls didn't sell well enough. I'm a bit surprised they didn't try to force a similar daemon construct on the other cult legions. They could have done Silver Towers, Plague Towers, and Subjubators respectively.
>>98807540Already did that.
All my 40k niggas in here lift weights regularly…r-right?
>>98807553I used to but I stopped and got a little lazy
>>98807553Would it kill you to stop shitting up the place with /pol/ and /fit/ talk, brocctop? I know you don't have an army but pls.
>>98807553I just jerk off to femboys and watch W40k lore vids bro
>>98807553I do endless cardio and tell myself next week I'll start hitting the weights and then next week arrives and I don't because I am ashamed of my tiny skeltal arms and don't want someone to see me struggle to lift
>>98807553My kids are getting heavier and heavier to lift if that counts
>>98807560Nah cmon that wont do bud>>98807566Wuh?>>98807568Dare I say it…>>98807571Everyone starts somewhere and if your cardio is already good you’re honestly above averageNatural ectomorphs will always look good with a little muscle since you have no fat to worry aboutLets make our respective factions proud bros

>>98807545I do wonder if they'll give the legions more of their own daemon engines or if the defiler means they'll do more 'here's a generic one with a headswap paint it your colors'.
Alright so I hope tonkbro is around but... Finally found and dug out this box of old resin not!40K shit and I have two whole ass tanks to salvage. Was thinking of making my commander out of the heavier set third party tank, something something "older tank STC unique to [insert armoured brigade name I settle on here]", somewhat of a military relic still being used by officers. Does it look weird though? The tracks and detail scale is pretty different, bigger chunkier rivets, feels a little odd that the other model of tank uses a Russ turret too but the turret that came with it isn't suitable to just slap the Russ kit weapons onto... I don't love it but my alternative is hunting down a Leman Russ tracks sprue and they seem to be going for >$60, might as well buy a whole new Russ atp. Also the way the Russ turret fits feels like there should be another piece in between, so I'm thinking I could cut the very top of one of the spare Russ hulls and insert it in. Thoughts?
>>98807613Shut up
>>98807613I think they'll match more once there's paint on them, the resin tank has a similar profile to the russ.
>>98807619You're just salty this Russ isn't full of wolf penis
>>98807632Nah nigga. I just don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about so talk about something else
I like this most recent decal impersonator he’s funny>>98807613Cool
my sisters army is growing ! I think at this rate I'll have all of it assembled in a day or two !
>>98807613Hard to say if the resin third party looks bad or not. It looks alright design wise but the paintjob will decide if it looks good or not. Don't expect tournament games, only casual. Maybe use it as knight commander tank?
>>98807639Nigga what the fuck you mean dog mom? You on estrogen or something?
Has decalfag devolped a blacksona.
>>98807589
>>98807613I am that tankposter if you mean the one who suggested finding a duplicate track sprueCheck your size, the resin one might be better as a Rogal Dorn proxy than a Russ because of its footprint on-table. Just from that picture it's clearly both longer and wider, which puts it into the Dorn size range more than the Russ next to it.It does look a bit weird, especially with the lack of hull gun and sponsons. The Russ turret is also undersized and too far forward on its basket for that hull.Any modification you'd do to make that fit a hull gun would be a lot of material being removed, so it'd be frustrating and I'd avoid doing it because of that. Sponsons could easily be glued onto the sides on the rectangular cutouts, but again dimension issues.Clean up your sprue nubs, on literally every single part.
>>98807589I like itCareful with that trim tho
>>98807625Yeah I was hoping that painted up the difference would be less stark, and fluffwise if someone brings up the Russ turret I can spit some excuse about it being damaged and retrofitted. It's defined more squat, a bit lower than a standrd Russ but much bigger footprint I think I'll plow on ahead with it then>>98807645>tournamentBahahaha I'm no tourneyfag and comp 40K is a jokeAlso planning to grab stuff from this range for my armoured brigade. Seems corny and a little cultural cringe, but also feels like a good fit for gearheads rolling around in gasoline guzzlers? And they have cute dog models
>>98807406>TQFemale russ and female sanguinius activate my power sword
>>98807537That wasn't a consequence of fanart, the fanart was a consequence of flanderization after years of eldar being jobbers in everyone's codex, and sometimes their own.
>>98807571Just head to your local academy and buy some dumbells for at home exercise. Look up a routine and lift the weights. You won't hit every muscle like you could with fancier equipment, but you wont continue atrophying into a skinnyfat freak.
>>98807666>Clean up your sprue nubsDude I'm at the very first basic step of testing how it all looks. Did you really think I had it all pieced together and ready to go in this state? Of course I'm going to have to figure out the sponsons as well since the way they designed them on the third party tank is different. I'm just asking people to use their imagination here and give feedback on what the potential final product with these together would look like>Dorn proxyNah, I don't want a Dorn, I'm making a Russ commanderAnyway, dogs
I’m a real ass nigga
>>98807732This but unironically
Bros what's a faction that's aggro, rewarding going in hard and fucking shit up, but crucially, not a glass cannon?
>>98807736Fr fr ong
>>98807737Space Wolves
>>98807737Idk orks?
>>98807685>>98807714If the tank looks "unique" compared to the others in terms of shape then most players will assume it is the tank commander model.>matter of factYou might be able to get away with having the tank having the same weapon configurations as the rest of the tanks. Whereas even though I plan to use a modified HH Leman Russ tank I'll still have to have it use different weapon configurations because I don't plan on having a tank commander model at the cupola. As for the VictoriaMiniatures models. They're nice. She is moving to the new Cadian kneepad proportions. So it is something worth noting. She sells STLs to print. I have found that some of her 3D printed stuff behaves differently from standard resin when it comes to clipping and cutting. So from my very limited experience cut a little away from where you actually want the cut to be and sand your way to that spot.
>>98807545I think it's important to remember that the LoS came out in 2013. That was a full decade before WE became their own army in 2023. Five years before even Thousand Sons in 2018 when the experiment of Cult Legions getting their own separate ranges and being separated out from CSM even began.The Lord of Skulls was made as a unit for CSM as part of GW experimenting with expanding on superheavy units in 40k and Apocalypse as a separate game mode. It wasn't designed to go alongside the World Eaters as a cult legion army, if anything it was designed to go alongside the Wraithknight that released the same year and the Gorkanaut that released the year after.When GW were doing the cult legions they had entirely different priorities for where to focus on with a limited number of kits for release slots. The Lord of Skulls just happened to still be around when they finally got WE out the door and so was ready to slot right in with them.
If I was in the Horus Heresy, I’d beat the fuck outta dat nigga Horus. Bitch ass nigga
>>98807737Basically all of them at this point except the T3 factions and Tau. It's just the way you play 11th edition now
>>98807658Probably. But it is also likely that some teenagers are doing their thing here as Warhammer 40k is getting popular with teenagers.
>>98807737Custodes is one, World Eaters are another and Orks a third. Take your pick anon. If you're a space marinefag, there's also the Dark Angels.
Grabbed a Dark Apostle from my friend, he got the old CSM box but didn't really get to finish painting his stuff. I asked if I could paint it for him, and I'd get to paint something other than my own.Should I just do black legion for that's the rest of his models, or try something different and paint word bearers? I got some red and I think I can pull it off, but the model is full of details and I'm a bit intimidated. I've never painted chaos trim before.
>>98807714>I'm at the very first basic step of testing how it all looksI'm fucking with you, anon.That said, there is a bit of truth in it; I do my clean-up during my "take the part off the sprue" step, so some of it is just my workflow. To me it makes the most sense to do it then since you have both the part and the cutting tools in-hand already.>I don't want a Dorn, I'm making a Russ commanderThe name of the game with proxies is the path of least resistance IME, so avoiding roadbumps is ideal. That's why I say this.One of the most common "roadbumps" with proxies is if the proxy is "close enough" in size to the official one. Do you get what I'm saying? I'm trying to save (you) the potential headache by having someone sit and "um ackshually" you over the table footprint of your model.That said, you *should* be fine to run it as whatever (if your opponents aren't shitcunts). I've played a shoebox as a Baneblade before and played against 3 red apples as Rhinos, a green apple as a Predator and 2 bananas as a Land Raider, all in the same match; proxying is a gentleman's agreement, just make sure you and your opponent both know what everything is before the game starts.
>>98807807I don’t know. Just do whatever the fuck you want
>>98807816Why do you people even make posts like this?
>>98807826Cause I feel like it bitch. I’m the God Emperor. You’re the servitor
>>98807844Post models
>>98807762>You might be able to get away with having the tank having the same weapon configurationsYeah tankbro argued the efficiency of 3 vanquishers, parked down a firing lane on the flank just sniping shit, but then I saw the BEEG plasma and kinda wanted that for my commander since it looks fanciest. It'll be suboptimal but fun, hopefully (I may still change to autocannons, either way thinking the commander will be more M/TEQ killer support to the 2 vanquishers while ordering them to shoot better).>>98807812>I'm fucking with youAh I'm sorry tank-san I have fallen for taking bants at face value. I'm so used to people being a bit too autismo on here>save (you) the potential headache by having someone sit and "um ackshually"autismo on hereOh yeah I get that. FWIW I don't think the people I'll play with will have a problem, chill FLGS. I may even end up just playing 2e with a mate, depends how the guard dex goes desu
The risk I took was calculated but damn am I bad at math
>>98807807I think Word Bearers is too cliche desu. Black Legion could also be a nightmare with the trim but you seem more comfortable with that idea?
Does anon agree that honorable close range melee combat is better than cowardly long range shooting?
>>98807899>You came to the wrong neighbourhood motherfuckerAre some of the parts on that tank dipped or is that just a streaky thin layer of paint?
>>98807905Of course anon. For sanguinius and the emperor
alright i said fuck it and signed up for a GT thats happening in 2 weeks, i havent played since 9th, what random bullshit do i actually need to pick up for IRL gamingdo you think theyd let me use forge worlds if i whip out my old codex
I do the sign of the aquila when I fuck a xenos bitch. Real ass nigga shit
>>98807922The tank is unfinished
>>98807520OrksSMIKCKNecrons
>>98807951>No IG>No VotannSaved me a christmas, thanks anon!
>>98807899It happens. I whooped some dustbins today to balance things out.
>>98807892Fwiw, the Vanquishers are just a slot machine with rather bad odds because of invuln saves being too common and too good (4+ or better) on most things you'd shoot a LR Vanquisher at. I have since changed my mind dramatically on them. They're still good, but they're more "psychological warfare" than a gun themselves by making your enemy have to consider "is it worth it to take a coinflip of this tank taking at least 7 damage if I go that way?" Or, because they're 130 points, you put 3 heavy flamers on them and run them straight into a horde of chaff. A 130 point unit with t11w13 and 3 heavy flamers can chew through most chaff, and it still has the benefit of the main gun if your enemy moves up to shoot it.Demolishers are just better AT vehicles, and Battle Tanks aren't a slouch either (yet are underpowered for the job). My "suggestion" for AT on guard is either>LR Demolisher2-7 (average 4.5) attacks at s14ap-3 that do 1-6 (average 3.5) damage each are far better at getting a good hit through the slot machine of invuln saves.Or>LR Exterminator for the AP bonus, then follow up with a LR Battle Tank to do damages10ap-2 is solid into things like Gladiators, because you do anywhere from 4 to 9 (average is 6.5) attacks every time you fire it at a tank.Honorable mention to the LR Punisher, 20 attacks of s6ap-1 is like shooting into a tank with 2 10-man squads of Intercessors, and you're likely to do some chip damage that way.The Eradicator is bad in general, don't even look at it. The Executioner is great into light tanks or heavy infantry, so don't ignore it.GW really needs to roll back on the invuln saves across the board, they make AP weapons way too inconsistent. Spamming attack dice should not be as strong as it is, something needs to be done to make single-shot big damage weapons worth it vs. spamming lots of small attacks.>t. have lost a Castigator to Infernus marines before because haha they used to do 60 attacks
>>98807406Is belakor actually cool? I'm thinking of using him as a background villain in /mydudes/ backstory but I don't want to write about a total lameo
>>98807859Who is that hanger supposed to represent? Not the space marine. I thought of Harry Potter, but if Warhammer 40k is overtaking Harry Potter then how long until we get Harry Potter analogies but for Warhammer 40k?
>>98807990>Be'la'k'o'r>coollmfaooooooooooooooooDo it anyways nobody's gonna stop you
>>98807751Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98807990His character is defined by impotently grabbing for godhood and getting his legs kicked out from underneath him every single time.He has done some cool things like shrouding entire planets in darkness, but that's about it.
>>98808008Sis I don't know how to tell you this...
why does Horus Heresy get all the tanks? Why cant chaos get some?
>>98807999I'm not worried about people stopping me I just don't want him if he's actually a little bitch in the longterm narrative, and just reading wiki blurbs doesn't let me get an actual feel for how he really is
>>98807545SUBJUGATO>>98807764Gw refuses to release a battleforce with this thing in it, it's not worth buying as is- no large "pay 100+ dollars for this thing" model is. Battleforces are usually 360 bucks of guys.Release a damn battleforce with Lord of Skulls (205 bucks), Master of Executions, 10 berzerkers and 10 goremongers and sell it to me for 260 dollars.
>>98807545>They could have done Silver Towers>>>
>>98808008I wish she was barefoot…
>>98807972>GW really needs to roll back on the invuln saves across the board, they make AP weapons way too inconsistentAgreed. Invul saves are really annoying
>Chapter OrganisationThe Wolves are a hardened, veteran force fully able to embrace the concepts of the Codex Astartes. However, the Chapter adheres to the precepts of the Codex in spirit, but deviates in several regards.All ranks of the Chapter are able to make tactical decisions and are encouraged to act on their own initiative. The Star Wolves combine all arms in flexible balanced battle groups each of which can present an opponent with a diversity of threats, then press their attack so swiftly that the foe is overwhelmed before he can react.>Specialist RanksThe Star Wolves' order of battle contains several specialist formations and officer ranks not present in other Space Marine Chapters, though they largely resemble the standard Codex Astartes ranks in function if not title.>War Lord (Captain) - Status designated by a black helmet.>Starforger (Chaplain)>Stellarhowl (Librarian)>Starblood (Apothecary)>Pack Leader (Squad Sergeant)
>>98808028Those are Argent Shards, Silver Towers would be more like this thing
>>98808044how LIMITED are they?
You know, if you think about it, the fall of cadia is technically another eldar victory over the necrons, as the eldar warship(blackstone fortress) destroyed a planet fortified by the necrons. As usual, necrons eternally btfo by the strongest race
>>98808046>>98808028https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/ntd1gm7z/converting-the-cogfort/Also this conversion has exactly what my brain was thinking of, cogfort converted into a silver tower.
>>98808044Nigga that’s way too close to Luna Wolves. No Space Marine chapter would name themselves that. You wasted your fucking time with this dumbass bullshit
>>98808044You gotta change the wolf symbol. Its very yiffy.
>>98808044Bro I’m thoroughly impressed and welcome you with open paws to the pack. What you gonna build first?
>>98808067Its a codex astartes chapter retard. Also permanent.

>>98808078You’ve never played into the setting for fun you boring loser?
Is it cringe that I'm building a 2k sisters of battle army for my wife?
>>98808083I paint hellblasters for fun, takes me about a year though.

>>98807501working on the collage entry
>>98808085>2k sisters of battle armyJust 2k? Cringe
I’m going to a store where they sell pro acryl today. Never used that brand before. Any colors I should try? I’m running out of my old Vallejo matte black
>>98808101we are going to be sharing them anon>>98808106we have closer to 3k altogether but we only play at 2k
>>98808060My other option was just to place the Space Wolves symbol inside a star, but that really would be very generic and uncreative.
>>98808111I love their gold even though Vincey V said it suckedTheir bone is good too, really the whole Pro Acryl lineup is great
>>98808113>we are going to be sharing themThis will go one of two waysEither she ends up not liking it and it ends up your army, or she likes it and takes it from youEither way you need to get 4k points worth of Sisters
>>98808118You could use an alternative like the night runners symbol, but with a star.>>98808118
>>98808120we are both nearly in our 40s, we know how to share lol. I also don't feel like buying another 1k points of sisters that I'll need to build and paint. I have 2 other armies I'd like to get started on this year
>>98808128Ok, I'll think about it.
>>98808111Pro Acryl khaki is very thin, but a phenomenal color. It's a bit light for "true" khaki and it's a bit yellow because of it, but it gets that perfect "slightly dirty tan cloth" color if you ever need it (guard bedrolls, poxwalker clothes, cloth tabards, etc). I use it for the bedrolls on my guardsmen.Pro Acryl dark silver is also a very good alternative to Leadbelcher or other "gun metal" paints. I use it for tank treads.
>>98808128>night runnersSPACESKAVEN (not hrud)
>>98808153Space skaven are dark mech and will never happen.
>>98808093Come to think of it, do I have any other options? Are there other demon princes of chaos undivided who would exist pre-great crusade? Sure warp time fuckery is real and all but even with that most demon princes at least seem most interested in the time in which they were mortal. Unless there's some kind of undivided greater demon but I'm not really sure how that's supposed to work with demons being splinters of their og god>>98808085Nah it's wholesome
>>98808133fuck youget in touch with your inner teenager and steal it.
>>98808153Skaven are too unserious
Using an enamel panel liner for the banner inscription worked very well! I don't like to post unfinished minis, but I feel like I unlocked some cheat code by doing this.
>>98808162t. nigger
Is this ECKS DEE, the thread?
>>98808168Nice helmet. You must fuck all the trans bitches at your LGS with that drip
>>98808168Excellent work my peep
>>98808168How did you paint the scrolls on the banner?
>>988081823 thin coats of wraithbone
>>98808128what annoys me is you can make -some- of these like Bulveye, Grimblood or Iron wolf with the existing shoulder pads and a little detailing but others like the spirit wolves are impossible.
>>98808159space skaven will never happen because the mere mention of space beastmen has beastgroids crying about how they want space minotaurs and space cygors too.
>>98808176ECKSDEE
>>98808168What exactly is enamel panel liner
TWO stompas?
>>98807970Thats what fatrak says anyway
In Warhammer 40,000 11th Edition, an Ork Stompa costs 600 points for the first model and 700 points for any subsequent Stompas in the army.TWO STOMPAS?

>>98808189Man I love the color of wraithbone but that paint is so difficult to work with compared to other brands I’ve been looking for a near identical color for a few years but most off whites are a bit more yellow or too coldWraithbone has a lot of grey but still looks very warm
>>98808209It is a heavily thinned, enamel-based paint that flows into tiny grooves and recesses through capillary action. I used this; I think every marinefag should own this.

>>98808244I guess it's doesn't matter since>company icons in a chapter with 3500 membersbecomes glup shitto on a glup shitto, but the wolf scouts actually do have special shoulderpads for the Great Wolf's company and the Deathwatch box has Wolfspear successor shoulderpads so it woulda been cool if GW didn't decide blackedmane was the only company that speaks for the whole chapter/legion.Actually it's funnier because they were making distinctions for Iron Hands between Raukaan and Arvernii last year and Iron Hands are beyond irrelevant.
>>98808238Oh I see. Is it better than nuln oil for picking out those little grooves at the edge of armor plates?
On my way home from picking up a free sister and trying the new paints. The paints are pretty good, white was disappointing from the hype, though part of that might be painting an unprimed mini. I'll post a pic of her when I'm home.
How do I not lose my mind doing trim the same way on all my guys?

>>98808420I don't give a shit about Yvraine being thusly degraded, and I'm not a UMfag, but seeing him turned into the human equivalent of a fursona is fucking grossLike I'm serious, all those depictions of him are furfag-coded as hell
>>98808420>I don't think it's remotely canon, but I do think it's cute. :3It's also the only thing remotely good that came out of either the ynnari OR the primarchs returning. I guess the Visarch counts too, it's a cool model if nothing else.

A phoenix lord should not be the same toughness as "random drooling guardsman 10284729." Now that normal marines have moved up to T5, Aspect Warriors, Sororitas, and any other unit that is supposed to not be fodder should be moved up to T4

>>98808596>A phoenix lord should not be the same toughness as "random drooling guardsman 10284729."It should
>>98808604Yeah that's how it works. If you're gonna up the toughness on the baseline comparison unit, then you're gonna have to do it on everyone else too.
>>98808605R43 is "the more pure something is the more fun it is to corrupt it." R63 is "there will always be gender-bent porn of it" Of course, no one had an issue with it until modern faggots were told to throw a culture war tantrum over trannies.Incidentally, was digging around my folders and found a R63 Draco Malfoy from 2014.
>>98808625No they don't. Because then there's no point to have made the "tough thing" tough if everyone else gets just as tough.You're not very good at game balance.
>>98808629>No they don't. Because then there's no point to have made the "tough thing" tough if everyone else gets just as tough.Well it's the only way if rule designers cannot balance their shit other ways
>>98808626Let's not pretend that harry potter fanfics (a lot of which was rule 63) weren't widely regarded as gross and ridiculous since the early 2000salrightthe outrage about troons is an offshoot of the disgust over tumblrfags who are an offshoot of harry potter fanfic writers, who have been at each other's throat since the 90sSo regarding Malfoid as an abomination is the default state of the internet.
Guard should remain t3Sisters and phoenix lords should be t4CSM should be same t as loyalists idk enough about other factions to comment
>>98808644What are you talking about? My Immortal is the greatest fanfiction that has ever fictioned.
>>98808604If the gap between marines toughness and chaff toughness gets bigger, it's reasonable that stuff that is already between marines and chaff in lore and points fill that gap, yes
>>98808629When the "tough thing" was only ever meant to be as tough as a baseline Ork Boy, it leads to exactly this problem.

Guard should get resurgence mechanics for their infantry instead of GSC (which GSC can use when taking guard units). It's crazy how well that rule fits guard. Lore wise guard would be fielding 50-100 men vs a 5 man SM squad, can't do that on the table though. Reinforcement mechanic would be better lore accuracy, and might make guard infantry worth their current cost.

Okay, bros. I'm thinking about getting back into Warhammer 40k for the first time in decades. I played when I was really young and loved it, and now I want to try it out again. I'm committed this time. I'm an expat in Cebu City, Ph, which has a population of about a million people. I don't know whether there's an official Games Workshop store, probably not, but I'm sure I can find some people here who have some armies. It sounds like to build a 1,500 from scratch buying directly from Games Workshop, buying official paints and tools, etc., might cost me about $1,500 or about 94,000php, and maybe take me about a month or so to paint the army? I think I'd prefer having at least two armies in case I play against someone who has a perfect counter to my first army, also for roleplay reasons (what if his army is identical to my first army? that wouldn't make sense to fight). So, that's about $3,000, or 188,000php. Then for transporting my army, I need at least two heavy-duty briefcases it looks like to prevent them from being destroyed, so that's about $150/each or 20,000php total. Then according to research, I'll need to spend about $300 or 20,000php on building terrain/a battlefield. I don't think I'd be able to transport all of this with Grab (Uber), so I might need to rent a van with a driver for the day, which probably would be $80 or 5,000php. Then a venue to fight, maybe another $80 or 5,000php for 6+ hours to rent the space, because I don't think I could play a long Warhammer 40k game for free anywhere.So overall, this comes out to about $3,760 or around 240,000php as start-up costs, with approximately $200 or 12,500php to spend each time I want to play a new game with someone. Thoughts on this? Anything I'm missing in my analysis?
Holy shit faggot I ain't reading all that, just pick the faction that sparks joy
>>98808996Dude you sound unhinged
>>98809007Elaborate. How?
>>98809009But your first box you crazy brown niggro
>>98809011I'd rather buy it all at once rather than piecemeal to make for smoother delivery.
Aight, had some time to work on brother can't breefI'm a shitty sculptor, so hopefully it comes across as shackles n chainsWhat chapter should brother officer chauvin be? I was thinking lamenters to keep it brightly colored but I am open to ideas.
>>98808996>I don't think I could play a long Warhammer 40k game for free anywhereHave you even searched for local 40K groups? There's likely one that already has a place they play at, I'd google it, they'd likely be on facebook >>98809014That's a good way to get overwhelmed, I'd probably attack it piecemeal. Don't buy from GW directly either, search for a national store that has a discount and free shipping over a certain value
>>98807406>TQluv' good fanart'ate bad fanart simple as
>>98809032If I were the referee/Tournament Organizer who oversaw your game, I would ban you so fast and add your name to the blacklist. Really meanspirited idea for a game meant to be fun.

>>98809041Nah I paint wolves and I admire his sculpting skills.
>>98809041Since we have a ref here I have a question. Would you also ban someone for having decals that are clear racist dogwhistles?
is raptor still good at 115 points?seem like I rather take warp talon at that point
>>98809056I usually ban people who live out of their car.
>>98809041Did the mutant just admit to having dealings with minor? So the allegations are true
>>98809060His waifu is Megumin, it was bound to happen
>>98809056Depends on how obvious they were and whether I noticed. Obviously lightning bolts and SS signs, yes. If someone also reported it and I confirmed it with research, I'd ban the person. But I will admit that it's possible that someone has had minor racist dogwhistles go unnoticed, especially the ones relating to Nordic symbolism.

>>98809107I feel you anon, I'm the exact same. Knights only have 2 models to choose from.
>>98809110I've considered giant tyranids, custodes and knights. Either I hate the models (custodes) or the lore (other two)

>>98809161>>98809168Didn't he also take over the fridge?
>>98809104Dogwhistles such as putting SS symbols all over your figurines is a form of speech, as the United States Supreme Court has affirmed numerous times (referencing typically bumper stickers and vehicle decals). By placing an SS symbol decal on your figurine, you are "saying" your support of Nazism and will be banned for hate. So, nice try.
>>98809032Before I read the post, I thought you were gonna model the dude fucking the plasma burn fleshlight in the other marine's back.
I just realized that I been painting 10 chosens and 20 legionariesI really need to swap to something else
>>98809177Dogwhistles have nothing to do with legality, retard. You're assuming the intent of others and using that rush to judgement as an excuse to exclude them from the hobby space.
>>98809058I do think raptors and warp talons perform different roles. Raptors are better in 5-man skirmishing units, the three heavy weapons make all the different there and lets them punch stuff out gud. Warp Talons are better in 10-man hammers where they can guarantee killing what they hit and then leave before rapid ingressing back in somewhere else. So if you're not investing in the unit, raptors do better, but if you are, Warp Talons do better.
>>98809190>how was i meant to know this would label me as a nazi.
>>98809190We know they were SS symbols and other references to Nazis because decalfag specifically boasted about them being that and admitting it. When he first came here bragging how he had gotten banned from reddit 8 different times with different accounts. (Already a redflag) He admitted he only put the decals on the models to "own da libs on reddit". (2nd redflag)He then came here because he unironically thought he'd be in good company. He was unironically doing the "how do you do fellow racists" meme.I remember when he first posted here, and from day 1 I already knew his presence alone would make /40kg/ 100x more retarded going forward.Also want to know the worse part?Decalfag has only been here since 2025 FebruaryHe's literally been here for ONLY 20 MONTHS, LESS THAN 2 YEARS, and he has already driven the thread quality this fucking low and on top of it got a permaban for himself.https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/95044574/#95045753This is the earliest post from I can find on the archive. Which is from 2025 February 12th which is 603 days ago.
I just bought Kravek and Mutilator sure the rest of my army is WB but i'm going to paint them and my oblit in iron warrior
>>98809224I miss the times before he was here. Even edgecoc wasn't this bad and that's saying something.
>>98809239you know you're allowed to paint and name him into something fitting WBs right
>>98809190Where does your argument end, anon? If someone says "88!" How are they supposed to know that's an SS symbol? Why not allow people to say "88!" every time they kill an ork? After all, it could be the year that player was born, right, or another non-Nazi reference to 88. Why does a decal protect a player but not verbally saying it, under your own logic?Stupid fucking neo-nazi retard.
>>98809253>Where does your argument end, anon?How is "he literally said it's a dogwhistle" a retarded argument?
>>98809245>miss the times before he was here. Even edgecoc wasn't this bad and that's saying something.They were really bad for this Warhammer 40,000 forum.Edgecoc/ben/carnac/pakfag were very annoying anon. They kept throoding to be annoyances and pushed the boundaries of rules that should have gotten them bannings especially the doxxposting. But it was them seemingly getting away with it that made them super annoying. Their early thread making we called "throoding" was really annoying. Now the jannies are actually doing their jobs post sharty hack in knocking down decalfag. His persistence in returning constantly is annoying and he probably has driven away modelposters that fear getting the janny-hammer brought down on them by mistake. Trust me. If the jannies were the way they were pre-sharty hack, decalfag would be doing much worse to make him like edge and the other gaggle of schizos we had.A certain Warhammer Fantasy witch hunter from a certain ratclicking vidya game said it best about grading evils in that it is never good to sympathize with other bad things just because there is a current one happening. The annoyances are annoying and are best to be removed. I remember when this general had proper mega links for Warhammer 40,000 rules.I actually wonder if the Primaris Are King trolling was done by firstborn autists to make us hate primaris by associating them with a persistent autist.
>>98809224New to these threads. This is fascinating. So a guy came in here and started saying "woe is me stop calling my lightning bolts nazi" and has been at it for almost two fucking years? Why? In what way did he hurt the threads? I'm assuming by getting stupid retard chuds to agree with him and just cause arguments every thread?
>>98809276>I'm assuming by getting stupid retard chuds to agree with him and just cause arguments every thread?This is the e-thot, right?
>>98809224Nobody was talking about decalfag until you brought him up, anon.Which brings me back to my broader point: 'dogwhistle' is a term used by schizos to accuse random people of perpetuating a secret plot to offend them.You just wrote a dissertation about a guy nobody was talking about because he triggers you so much.
>>98809280Go away retard. You got called out and now you're crying about it.
>>98809280Permanent?
>>98809280The entire comment chain is solely and specifically about you.
>>98807522Are they there currently or are you talking about past events?
>>98809276>In what way did he hurt the threads?By being annoying retard that keeps derailing threads.The issue wasn't really his nazi decals, they were an issue because slapping IRL political shit onto models just looks like shit and it just tells people instantly you're not a person that should be interacted with. But on top of this it was his retarded behaviour when people pointed them out trying to play coy "i dunno bro, they are just lightning bolts" and then within the same thread saying out loud they are nazi decals and he is only doing it to own the libs on reddit.Aka he was pretending to be retarded and people instantly saw through the facade. And he kept spamming his models nobody wanted to see.On top of this everytime if somebody dares saying something disparaging about SW he actually takes it as a personal insult because he is that autistic.Then there were the 2 community projects. The monthly collage and the fridge, decalfag got banned from both for his annoying, shitty behaviour and making the threads worse.AND he got multiple chances to get onto those things if he changed his behaviour. Everytime the promised he'd do that his promise didn't even last 24 hours and he was back to his shitposting.And this is where the "permanent means permanent" thing comes from. He is permanently banned from all community things.This caused him to have a multiple thread long meltdown where he unironically believed he was being "gangstalked" by 1 guy and then spammed the word tranny at everyone, he did this like 400 times in 1 thread.He had a trip code for a while and people instantly filtered it and his images, he then started to modifying the images to get past people's filters.Decalmutant is a genuine sub 70 IQ autistic furry retard with narcissism and aspergers.There is a reason why he had gotten banned 99 different times by the mods before they gave him the perma ban this summer.
>>98809324>The issue wasn't really his nazi decals, they were an issue because slapping IRL political shit onto models just looks like shit and it just tells people instantly you're not a person that should be interacted with.I know the obvious example to go to for people who don't get this is the other extreme of Communist symbols. But I think a better example is to go mundane. Imagine some guy rocks up to you LGS with Republican or Democrat imagery on their marines, or whatever your country's equivalent are. Would anyone in the thread thinks that's a cool dude you want to be friends with or would you think they're cringe and lame?
>>98809324Hilarious. Thanks for the lore, based archivist/lorekeeper.
>>98809253You picked a terrible example because you could indeed just have your Guards be the "Crazy 88th" Regiment and shouting out your Regiment number isn't really that weird. Obnoxious, but not weird. You managed to pick like the one nazi dog whistle I'd be willing to play devil's advocate for since it's one I could reasonably see someone stumbling into. It's not like he made their warcry a modification of the 14 Words and painted totenkampfs all over them.
>>98809324We love our decalstorians
On a scale of 1 to 10 how cringe is using green stuff to make the SoB's tiddies bigger?
>>98809272>I actually wonder if the Primaris Are King trolling was done by firstborn autists to make us hate primaris by associating them with a persistent autist.So what, is ratpedo trying to make us hate Word Bearers by associating them with vtumor whores?
>>98809350It's based and an absolute moral good
>>98809278per the discord there are at least three biofem women who regularly post here
>>98809350I would ridicule you and have a laugh and then call you based if you actually play with them.
Does anyone have a picture of the genestealer gangrape creampie diorama? I need to show it to a friend but I can't find it anywhere.
>>98809350It's only cringe if you do it badly/tastelessly. Past a certain size they'd just look ridiculous.
>>98809351No I think ratfag is alright. It is just a ritualpost that for the most part is kept that way. He isn't early thread making sometimes at page 6 or earlier to show off his love for the vtuber rat.
>>98809340I think someone shouting 88 at a Games Workshop event would be warned and, if miraculously he learned for the very first time that 88 was a dogwhistle for nazism, 99.99999999% of people would say "oh shit, I'm so sorry" and feel shame/embarrassment and course correct.
>>98809350>using green stuff to make the SoB's tiddies biggerThere is or was a WIP anon who was using greenstuff to make the Warhammer fantasy elf breasts bigger then painting them quite well. Ask there unironically to see if you can get good instructions on how to greenstuff sisters of battle booba to be bigger.Also note that the big greenstuff plant closed down and the recipe is kept secret so alternative putty needs to be sourced. A company in bongland is trying to make their own greenstuff.I'm not sure about milliput or Tamiya epoxies.
>>98809272>His persistence in returning constantly is annoying and he probably has driven away modelposters that fear getting the janny-hammer brought down on them by mistake.imo it's less worrying over getting caught in the crossfire and more just seeing the state of the thread as not something worth participating in. Why would any quality poster in general want to stay in an environment with a squealing retard who just won't leave?
>>98809363>if miraculously he learned for the very first time that 88 was a dogwhistle for nazism,That's not that miraculous. I highly doubt the 90% of normalfags in society know internet Nazi dog whistles.
>>98809334Exactly, well put.
>>98809363Again, the shouting is more of an issue here than any perceived dogwhistle. But assuming that disruptive shouting isn't breaking any rules in this hypothetical, I'd still side with Mr. 88 if all you can pin on him is "dis number is scawwy and giving me teh sads!"
>>98809370How many Warhammer 40k players who build armies and bring them to games are "normalfags in society"?
>>98809363>I think someone shouting 88 at a Games Workshop event would be warnedProbably not. Most normies don't know about that shit at all. At most they know the SS runes and sonnenrad past the obvious swastika. Normies aren't nearly as plugged into this shit as you'd think, mostly because there aren't many ACTUAL neo-nazis out there, just a bunch of people online making spinning sonnenrad edits behind anime girls as a joke.
>>98809369Also people are less likely to engage with model posts when a shitstorm is happening. Doubly so when the thread is moving lightning fast.
>>98809382It probably varies by region, but I'd say at least half. And that's be low balling it.
>>98809350It's fine. But it obviously all depends on the sculpting quality and how far you go with it.
>>98807501Gotta start figuring out the base next
>>98809380>>98809383The point is when the person is warned and told not to mention 88 as a sort of slogan by itself and explained why, he'd stop in this scenario where he apparently doesn't know it's a dogwhistle. And again, I highly doubt 40k players are normies who barely are online.
>>98809369That is a fair point for why so many anons have moved away from posting Warhammer 40k models here.>>98809370>I highly doubt the 90% of normalfags in society know internet Nazi dog whistles.NTA butI'd imagine that a lot more than we think would know because of how internet connected the world is more these days. I just think normies in real life would be more "willing to assume it is a coincidence" when someone says something that is or can be interpreted as a Nazi dog whistle. Think of it like how most don't assume everybody who plays 40k Black Templars and Death Korps Of Krieg is a Nazi if that makes sense.Or maybe my LGS community is just more mature on the Warhammer side.
>>98809388At first I thought those were thick af thighs with just head attached on top, then I realised.
>>98809363>would say "oh shit, I'm so sorry" and feel shame/embarrassment and course correct.Tbqh I'd probably call you an oversensitive retard and tell you to suck it up buttercup. Someone once tried to get me to stop using the phrase "rule of thumb" because they claimed it was a misogynist dogwhistle for woman-beating and not only did I have to explain to them how wrong they were after looking it up, but I had to explain the concept of intent and offense to this grown-ass adult. So yeah, justice for Mr. Crazy 88 unless he's painting lil mustaches on his commissars or something
bro even with 20% discount tone pro is stupidly expensive for how little paint you get. Fuck thathttps://taschengelddieb.de/vorbestellung-games-workshop
>>98809393I'd consider you insane if you reported someone over just saying "88" too many times and if I was a TO I'd disqualify you for unsportsmanlike conduct before that guy.
>>98809397>Comparing a lie to an actual dog whistle
>>98809397A friend saying it is different than a referee warning you not to say it or you'll be banned from further play. People have different reactions based on the context of where/how things happen. A buddy saying "you've got a small dick bro" whilst laughing elicits a different reaction in you than a girlfriend saying upon first seeing your cock "you've got a small dick bro." A beta friend saying "th-that's a hate symbol" might create some smirk and smug reaction in you than the scenario in question.
>>98809397>Someone once tried to get me to stop using the phrase "rule of thumb" because they claimed it was a misogynist dogwhistle for woman-beatingI think you're LGS community is a bit cursed. Is it mostly the Warhammer 40k crowd or was the person from the trading card crowd?There are instances of bald white people assumed to be racist skinheads from Warhammer 40k players at the LGS. I have a buddy who was balding in his early teens and gave up trying to save his hair. The management knows he isn't a bigot but autists at his LGS complain anyway and one even asked him to wear a wig or a hat because he looks "problematic." Nerdy game stores attract all kinds of autists so a bit of a guard has to be kept up.
>>98809403You wouldn't be TO, decalfag, because Games Workshop would never permit it after you sided with nazi symbols.
>>98809399Obligatory comment about GW's allergy to dropper bottles.
>>98809412>GW's allergy to dropper bottlesGW is saving dropper bottles for when their paint and hobby supply sales reach intolerable levels of not making sales. Right now I think they still use their paint pots because of brand recognition. Even though the Coat D'arms pots and Tamiya/Mr. Hobby pots are superior. My source is my crust-hole.
>>98809417? I thought we're meant to buy GW-issued paint pots because they last the longest and are the best material for painting quality figurines.
>>98809406Yeah if the guy in question was warned by staff and stopped yeah that's whatever but I'd still consider the staff unhinged, oversensitive retards if the 88 thing is all he's doing.>>98809409Even worse, this was at an old office years ago. Bitch was basically a walking HR complaint filer.>>98809410Try again, detective. I said from the start anon chose a terrible hypothetical because 88 is vague enough and the number 8 is used enough in other situations that it could easily be a coincidence >he could be a Kill Bill fan>he could be a Remnant From The Ashes fan>he could be a fan of white trash tattoosLike shit man, are you also gonna ban Khorne for being a nazi dogwhistle? Gonna ban the Farsight Enclaves because you misinterpreted their Seven Samurai reference as a Hitler reference?

>>98809423The back of the pots get gummy and paint dries because the lid doesn't properly close. Worse inconvenience than cracking nozzles on droppers.>>98809433>Even worse, this was at an old office years ago. Bitch was basically a walking HR complaint filer.My condolences, anon.
Tone Pro not being sold in sets like other triad/gradient paints is an odd choice.
>>98809404Do I need to explain intent and offense to you as well?
>>98809466>25 euro for 5 paints of a single color tonelmao no. I can get it from Vallejo for 12 euro instead for 4 colors of 18ml and dropper bottles.
>>98809388That guy is based. What ever happened with the big titty titans?
>>98809435Exarch's usually have more wounds than the normal dudes in Aspect units, also more thanone wargear option. Also, more than one weapon option. Also, I don't think the math maths on these guys, they do almost nothing? They don't even come close to killing even a regular character on average dice and they're suuuper squishy. A 3-man unit would be like 40 points, and that's probably overcosted. Also, anti-character 5+ does nothing on S5 weapons, they're already wounding almost every character in the game on 5s (excluding stuff like knights and large character monsters but it's not like they're even remotely threatening those anyway).I'd say upgrade unit size to 5 like all other aspect infantry, give them dev wounds:character to further emphasize their role and make their anti actually do something (or even better, give them super-nasty hunter profile against character units, like 2A WS3+ S6 AP-3 D3 but bump their regular profile down to D1)
>>98809487yeah but they aren't PRO, or for WARHAMMER
>>98809435Neat idea
>>98809533
>>98809498>Exarch's usually have more wounds than the normal dudes in Aspect unitsI must have fat fingered that lol, I did note it because it's the only difference>Also, more than one weapon optionI didn't bother coming up with one because a lot of the existing extra weapon options for AWs just suck, but I guess I could break the trend>it doesn't math outI haven't tested it much but I could buff it a little ig >They are squishyAll eldar are squishy it is a trade heavy army>Anti-character does nothing It's to get around -1 to wound >give dev wounds I actually did but took it off. I'll definitely consider it depending on how I feel after actually doing the mathhammer on a few dudes >hunter profile D3I actually did forget that that was a thing, I like that idea the most. If chainfists can get +4 S and D3 on the hunter profile then having one here too is definitely reasonable
I LIKE ORKS ECKS DEE XD
I'm going to a tournament in the near future, my first time since 9th edition. I don't have the warhammer app on my phone and i've heard it's really buggy and inaccurate anyway. Is there an alternative I can use to keep track of stuff like scores and secondary cards instead of just a pen and paper?
>>98809533>>98809539I wanted to make an individual aspect shrine for my very militant craft world, and considering my favorite type of unit is sword melee guys I looked at the potential gaps in the army between the banshees and scorpions and basically arrived at the conclusion that we need a pointy ear emperor's champion of some sort. Which, is basically what I already did, but hey, I think 1v1 duels are cool, and my elves are even more closely based on tolkien's noldor, and everyone knows the coolest noldor died in 1v1 duels so it works out.
>>98809547-1 to wound will never bring you from 5s to 6s (and I can only think of a single case where it can make you go from 4s to 5s in the whole game) as it currently stands, I can't think of a single T6+ character unit with -1 to wound against everything (it's almost always if S is greater than T), ever, so anti 5+ doesn't actually help against that.
>>98809562>it's almost always if S is greater than THm, yeah, that is what stuff has been updated to huh. They do seem to be moving away from the Anti keyword in general in favor of hunter profiles, or giving other keywords like sustained or devs against certain targets.
>>98809435>>98809539wouldn't an aspect of khaine that focuses on his hand somehow refer to the fact it's bloody?
>>98809533>wave crest on his headNow I'm imagining him doing powered headbutts.
>>98809487>>98809500Those choices aren't ArmyPainter. The best and only proper acrylic paints for the miniature painter.Don't buy shitadel paints because of their stupid pots. Failejo has bubbles.AK Fascactive made a problematic scale model book. And Asshole by MIG is just temu AK.Prolapsed Acryl has stupid dropper bottles with meme-bad dropper capsNobody cares about Formula Pee-3's new paints now in droppers. You shouldn't.Buy ArmyPainter paints for your Warhammer 40k models and say something nice about ArmyPainter to live another day.
>>98809533>>98809539It's just a zealot
>>98809588>AK Fascactive made a problematic scale model book. And Asshole by MIG is just temu AK.What's the problem with paints being fascist? I don't remember the last time a communist dictator was a painter.
>>98809588Army painter are the shittest paints of the lot, a little better with the fanatic range but still the shittest
>>98809500>tfw im not a pro painter so I can't use tone pro
>>98809595vallejo would like a word
>>98809577Actually this gives a couple of interesting options. Though the keyword split is usually for vehicles/monsters and non vehicles/monsters, I see no reason why it couldn't be for characters or non-characters. >>98809580That's... not why they're called the gauntlets... they're called that because of the practice of using a gauntlet to issue a challenge to a duel. Their adpect is khaine as a personal holder of grudges who murders individual people for wronging him. Though, since he did get the bloody hand by murdering Eldanesh, which was certainly a very personal killing, I suppose I could run with it
>>98809597I dunno i own an absurd amount of paints and army painter are easily the worst ones i have. AK is my favourite, probably acryl is great too but fuck ME their bottles suck
>>98809593>My life for Asur!
>>98809588Their speedpaints are pretty good and I like that they sell full sets for Bolt Action armies.
>>98809618You may live.>>98809594>>98809595Sleep with one eye open. There's a reason the ArmyPainter we at ArmyPainter call our Warpaints Fanatic blood effect "true blood."

I've never to this day seen this vallejo bubble meme, not once has it happened to me or anyone i know, never seen it mentioned outside of this board
>>98809631That's what the last guy thought until we caught him and force fed him our steel mixing balls until we had a new batch of our effects paint: "Oozing vomit." Perfect for your Warhammer 40k Nurgle daemons and marine miniatures.Then a new batch of True Blood was made.>>98809641You'll find out the hard and painful way if you don't have any ArmyPainter paints in your collection or online shopping cart.
>>98809653>never seen it mentioned outside of this boardthere are tens of thousands of results if you google vallejo paint bubbling
>>98809653It has been reported on plebbit too when I was doing some searching on Google. I was surprised. Funnily enough some were expressing difficulty in moving away from Vallejo to AK interactive because AK made a "Condemnation" scale model book that was too edgy. I do believe that AK and ArmyPainter and Pro Acryl benefited a lot from Vallejo's rocky reformulation.From what I gather Vallejo paints just bubble the "easiest" out of the other paints. One can still get bubbles if not careful. Vallejo paints now are just the easiest to produce bubbles making them a bigger hassle.
>>98809588I like ArmyPainter's tufts. They are useful. >in all seriousnessIs this meme a jab at ArmyPainter's marketing? Their paints get the job done. I just think ArmyPainter spends more money on marketing.
I bet the fucking idiots on this board that complain about the le bubble meme either paint like shit or cant paint at all
>>98809684Or hopefully Vallejo fixed the problem quietly and we are just paranoid over nothing or somehow getting a paint from the older bad batches.At least that is what I'm hoping for because I bought a few metallic Vallejo paints for testing.
>>98809555>Aspect between Banshees and Scorpions>That studies the blade>And are prideful master duelistsIf only such an aspect existed

>>98809703Fuck sake ratfag you're better than this
>>98809696NTA but those guys aren't punchmasters either. Punchmaster Aspects with cool shield gauntlet powerfists and more durability than the average space elf is definitely something that could have its niche in the CWE lineup.

>>98809696Incubi are fucking faggots just like all drukhari >>98809709Honestly I hate power fists on marines but maybe Eldar could do it right. I didn't even think of that
Is tone pros self leveling overhyped or is it real? Should I switch to tone pro once it's out?
>>98809637You can make ruins out of sprues and then cover the sprues with cardboard.
>>98809709Its what Wraiths are for desu but you do you.
>>98809729But you arent a pro painter, therefore you cant use tone PRO
>>98809723I was going off the images posted right here >>98809533 >>98809539They're nice and sleek while still looking like they pack a punch. Add in some lore about the same system that generates their shield also enhances their punches and maybe even give the Punchmaster Exarch some kinda fancy elfed out shaolin robe and prayer beads over his armor if you really wanna beat the concept over the head of the playersI personally like powerfists in limited capacity but I agree that eldar shouldn't have big ol rock'em sock'em hulk hands.
>>98809667My AK white and yellow bubble like fucking crazy. Granted, they are maybe 6 years old now (I bought them during COVID times and sort stopped painting until recently) but none of the other colors just as old do that.
>>98809739It's crazy but they won't even let you check out unless you can provide proof you've sold a "pro painted" model on ebay.
>>98809698>You'll be fine anonSaid anon who did not know the anon (me) he responded to will somehow accidentally make a mustard gas mushroom cloud over Canada from Vallejo metallic paints from the game, model and mecha line.I am overthinking things. I gotta prime and paint again.
Guys I'm scared of starting my hellblasters. How am I supposed to condense the one year it takes to paint such a squad into a mere month?
>>98809749paint one hellblaster every time you get banned, by the end of the month you'll have 2 units of them
>>98809749>He hasn't learned time compression Look at this paintlet.

>>98809754a cloud over canada is a cloud over the usa because canada is over the usa
>>98809749Funniest shit I've ever seen.
>>98809749You should get as close as possible to the decalfags progress, post and update and then finish them. He won't be able to handle it, or whoever is role playing as decal fag
>>98809757Not Indian m8, just ausfags and Canadians are quite similar
>>98809763>just ausfags and Canadians are quite similarIndeed, saarBoth are top importers of indians
>>98809580The guy who made that one based it off the aspect of Khaine that was the Armor given to him by Vaul. Probably meant as another kind of "gifted aspect" like the Banshees.

Is there a release this weekend?.or did I get it wrong?

>>98807406It seeps into canon as we can see with Saturnines or lamenters battle cry or that fucking black lion etc.I really, really, really hope Krorks won't look like that garbage take every fantartist does, which makes them into Salamanders basically. But it's very likely they will copy that look

Thankfully GW's last to attempts to primaris-ize a xeno faction failed if schizotheories are to be believed, so they probably won't try honest to god primaris orkstodes.
>>98809837Stay mad
>>98809837>Thankfully GW's last to attempts to primaris-ize a xeno faction failed if schizotheories are to be believedWhats this about?
>>98809845I think he's referring to Ynnari but I don't see the parallel to Primaris there at all.
Anyone ever build or play in a terrain/battlefield that was the size of like 2-3 rooms? Does the extended room and space allowing for greater strategic flanking maneuvers and increased gameplay time from moving all the units create a more impactful game?
>>98809845Beastsnaggas
>>98809843I don't have to be mad because krorks ain't happening. GW can't even get people to buy sniggas or ynnari.>>98809845People claim ynnari was a botched attempt to squat/soup/primaris all eldar into a singular faction and that the corsairs KT were originally going to be ynnari baseline troops. Similarly, there was lots of doomsaying surrounding sniggas with people claiming they were GW testing the waters with primaris orks. Those same people claim poor sales (and a change in direction within the company in regards to ynnari/squatting slaanesh) put an end to those plans, but of course I've never really seen any data on any front so it remains in the realm of rumors and schizotheories. I don't really buy it on the sniggas front since they always struck me as a way to bring back skarboys and give snakebitez some of their own models but I could see the ynnari theory being true.>>98809849You don't see how squatting half of a faction to force you to rebuy your army and, as the claim goes, slowly phasing out the other half would be similar to primaris?
>>98809435>>98809533>>98809539I was thinking of Kung Fu Aspect warriors to fit into weeb take of Eldar. This stuff looks actually quite similar if not for the hidden blades.
>>98809852Biggest I've ever played on was two table pushed together for an 8'x6' city fight game. Beyond a certain size moving pieces around becomes a hassle though when people can't easily reach the models anymore.
>>98809858Couldn't you design a second floor/walk above the battlefield that you can walk along and use a giant stick/pusher to move units around from above?
>>98809856The oldhammer Eldar power fist and Dark Eldar lightning claw are cool and I wish they each had some kind of modern representation.
>>98809855>You don't see how squatting half of a factionDark Eldar shit got squatted because it was dogshit finecast garbage that nobody bought.It had nothing to do with the Ynnari.
Imperium - Adepta Sororitas - HallowedMartyrs - 1000pts>3x Saint Celestine (135pts)>10x Battle Sisters Squad (100pts)>10x Celestian Insidiants (115pts) + Ministorum Priest (75pts)>10x Celestian Sacresants (150pts) + Hospitaller (65pts)>Castigator (165pts)>3x Paragon Warsuits (195pts)What do you think, I like living saints that's why celestine is there
>>98809875Ynnari forces aren't allowed to take half of the remaining DEldar stuff either iirc, just like I think they aren't allowed to take Wraith constructs as well. But again, I think a lot of it was doomsaying and alarmism after seeing SMs get the primaris treatment.
>>98809865Well if you want to go into pure theory and impracticality sure. But at that point you're better off setting up "islands of conflict" and having each army use flying transports/return to reserves to move between tables.
>>98809879At one point everything in DEldar was legal in Ynnari besides Haemonculus Covens. The super limited selection is a very recent thing. They definitely planned to merge the ranges and just drop support for the covens stuff, which is why they're where most of the squatted stuff came from.
my LGS makes me want to quit not gonna lie
>>98809865Like this.. This would be a fucking cool game to play.
>>98809887just wash your ass before you go it's not hard bro
James stock value has dipped please accept that there will be a bonus solidarity price hike to correct this
>>98809885Yeah fair enough. I only paid passing notice to the whole ynnari nonsense because I was out of 40K for a good while from like 7th-9th but I'm a sucker for a good (or bad) schizotheory to the point I used to listen to Spirit Science for fun.
>>98809892Damn, I love that diorama.
>>98809904meant this one FUCK!>>98809880
>>98809909To be fair, both are cool.
>>98809878Honestly Celestine is completely unplayable bad right now. If you want to keep her for flavour by all means but if you want a better list for 1k I would recommend:>10x Dominion Squad w/meltas (120pts)>10x Celestian Insidiants (115pts) + Ministorum Priest (75pts)>10x Celestian Sacresants (150pts) + Hospitaller (65pts)>Castigator (165pts)>Immolator (100pts)>3x Paragon Warsuits (195pts)
>>98809916Definitely.
>>98809900I think if my 40k army had the same prices as the new HH custodes stuff that would be my breaking point.
>>98809880What I hate about this is it shows how 40K admech stuff fits just fine with 30K stuff. Those pteraxii flapping around knights and archeotech make me like them more rather than make me think they're out of place and should be axed.
Anyone got the new 11th ed codex yet? Been looking for it
>>98809852>>98809858Place near me runs 36x6ft 80k+ points TOW games sometimes, takes like 2-3 days to finish the games.
>>98809936The Horus Heresy Mechanicum split has always been a totally artificial decision made by GW for purely marketing reasons. You're talking about a faction that venerates old designs and despises innovation. Of course they would still use any functional HH tech.
>>98809892The most outlandish thing about this picture is twelve grown men having the time and schedule availability to dedicate to getting together for a game like this.
>>98809944The absolute worst part about it is that the mechanicum line would effectively complete the 40k army, but hey I guess custodes are super special and they deserve all the goodies.
>>98809917Dominions?
>>98809944Absolutely, I'm just rambling on how the davinci stuff that some people hate (I honestly like it) is enhanced by proximity to cleaner Heresytech rather than detracted from because the faction should be as schizotech'd out as possible. Having the most advanced war machines in the imperium but then still loading up your cybergoyim massed troops into hoverhigginses to get blasted by orks or tau is peak 40K.
>>98809898nah it's just>majority don't have painted models>metachasing, constantly talking about powerful combos etc>only play [current edition]>no interest in anything but [current edition] 40k>complain when you bring a powerful list to a tournament because "its unbeatable">RAW until it suits them, then its RAI>this rule is correct because the app says so, i'll shut down the conversation if you question if its possibly an error, it's the apo it CAN'T be wrong, your book is wrong and i'm completely ignoring you bringing up the FAQ'd version>unpainted terrain
>>98809949These girls. Consider them upgraded BSS that has 4 meltas in their squad to be able to have more punch. You can also split them into 2 squads of 5 with the immolator
>>98809959yes I just meant I dont see their advantage over other units
>>98809953Oh hey you must go to my LGS. Did you guys also try to start a Necromunda group that promptly got fucked into the dirt by some hyper-competitive fuck?
>>98809962no, I am in yookaythey also have no interest in necromunda except for the resident tournament player who doesnt metachase and has painted armies
>>98809953Fucking hell it sounds like my lgs too. Also>people refusing to play certain armies because they arent strong enough right now
>>98809965We had a guy who treated it like an escalation league, everyone got cold feet and promptly quit and now it's right back to meta chasing in 40k.
>>98809961Cheap meltas and being able to split into 2 squads. One rides in the immolator and the other with the simulacrum sits on an objective. And if you park both 5 man squads on an objective you get +2 miracle dice
>>98809953Had a game like this with an ultramarinefag recently>sloppy spray painted models>only has meta combinations of units >gets upset when he loses a unit>doesn't say gg>doesn't shake hand after the gameI had fun assblasting him with my custodes. It was especially satisfying killing his calgar + victrix brick in one charge phase
>>98809827fuck those faggots I'll stick to my own schizophrenia
>>98809961Reactive D6 move + 4 Melta/Storm Bolter/Flamers.
>>98809980They just look right with reptiloid features
>>98809984Oh and Scout 6"
>>98809985No, that looks like shit.
>>98809953Why do so many players put so little effort into painting their models? I mean its fine if its their first but im seeing players who have multiple armies that are either primed / basecoated or just painted like shit. It actually pisses me off, particularly when you see the same army 6 months later and nothing has changed
>>98809827Krorks are just big orks.We know this based on the fluff even. Fabius visited Trazyn in his museum where he saw that 12 meter tall Krork and the only thing remarkable to him about it was the power armor that was more advanced than space marines.That just means the krork don't look any different from orks besides being bigger and having more sophisticated/advanced technology. If they looked like reptile shit or whatever that would've been mentioned.
>>98809995they're only interested in playing the game anon
>>98809990You look like shit, it's not perfect, especially because it's too lean and yas got too many random spikes, but it's a good idea of how an ork with a longer snout would look, and the answer is that it would look proper for an ancestral version of an ork.
>>98809999It will turn out that Krorks are Space Black Orcs
>>98809995The hobby's changing, you shouldn't be surprised if they start pushing prebuilt, prepainted models.
>>98809999If the average ork was actually bigger during the war in heaven then the twice dead king would have noted it, since he's also reminded of fighting krorks when he got to fight 40k orks.The best thing is to simply disregard the trazyn specimen.
>>98810005Pre-built prepainted models would unironically be the death of 40k
>>98810004That's literally Goffs already.
>>98810012I think they're setting the table for it, but that's just me.
>>98810002Its upsetting desu, they have zero intentions of getting better>>98810005I guess we already have pre painted terrain, makes sense if they do that
>>98810020I think the prepainted terrain would be one of the first steps to that.
>>98809980>KRO(ot o)RK
>>98810011Blah blah, nobody cares.
Peeps it's really tough to paint inside a car don't know if I'll finish my hellblasters on time
>>98810049XD XD XDDD
>>98810044permanent means permanent
>>98807415>>98807425>>98807435No one fucking cares. GW is still traded at P/E over 25, which is insanely high
It might be time to slurp the James stock dip desu
>>98809830>true metallicsHow are they and the washes for them?Also how are the the metallics from the other vallejo lines? Game? Model? Mecha?
>>98810123Why would the people with money AND info undervalue gw if they were expecting it to grow or regrow?
>>98810123Literally 27 times earnings. You risk another 40-50% downside if they don't deliver growth, which is hard in the current macro climate + 11th ed, despite being good, hasn't drummed up a lot of enthusiasm
>>98808813I know you're probably like 17, but back in the day, people used to put effort into making funny shitposts for the board
>>98810140Don't they have another facility for producing stock that they're meant to open next summer? One of their limiting factor as of now is that they can't keep up with demand whenever they release somethingAnd also surely the new secret level season, whatever amazon will do, total war 40k and space marine 3 are meant to craft a perfect storm for getting normies into 40k
>>98810107>>98810140Insanely high in comparison to what, the rest of the sector?
>>98810123Tone pro gonna result in some serious gains
>>98809852>Anyone ever build or play in a terrain/battlefield that was the size of like 2-3 rooms?I think that's where Epic Armageddon was supposed to "solve" the issue of bigger battles in the sense that more units are involved without needing a whole room's floor as the battlefield. I still believe that GW shoved the Epic "soft reboot" into Horus Heresy out of fear that if it was in the Warhammer 40k setting, it would somehow overtake the mainline Warhammer 40k in popularity when it comes to the tournaments part.>rules more tight>less room needed >social media painters really show off their painting skills on 6mm-8mm>paintlets can get away with slopping paint on and calling it a day>boxes would technically be "cheaper" if quantity is taken into consideration>lorefags get to say that the battles are closer to battles in the loreThere's more but the above are the basics. My sources are made up unverified beliefs but I believe I am correct.
>>98810158Compared to the fact that they're not oil and gas, which people are addicted to. They sell luxury goods that consumers can easily drop if we get an economic downturn
>>98810123>>98810137>>98810140>>98810162Is Tone Pro in any way part of why the Games Workshop stock dipped? I don't believe it is but what are the ways it lowered the dip? Unless it is a breakthrough acrylic innovation that mainstream acrylic paint producing companies haven't done, I can't see it being why GW's stock dipped according to these posts.
>>98810179They're dropping because some closed source was forecasting stalled or negative growth for GW, which made hedge funds sell. They're still prices way too high, there is no "collapse"
>>98810186Fair enough then.I think Tone Pro is just GW chasing the trend of paints organized in triads. The "problem" is that I think a decade ago. GW set the trend with their contrast inks and now this seems like the reverse.I doubt that the yellow and white paints being super good to the point of being less of a hassle than AK or Pro Acryl white/yellow paint but hopefully they will be. Only time will tell.
>>98810186I think its more the financial guys are looking at GW and realising two things1. the peak has most likely already been hit2. GW's a house of cards right nowanything that could fuck GW over (e.g fire at the main office causes production to be halted for a few months) would royally fuck them over and cause investors to sell, which fucks them harder
>>98810186I really hate these Jewish private equity and investment conglomerates>why is the stock down?>some neurotic money changer said it would>but did anything bad happen>no
>>98810179>Is Tone Pro in any way part of why the Games Workshop stock dipped?unlikely
>>98810213>1. and 2.Can you go into more details about these two points, please? >anything that could fuck GW overI think your examples aren't gonna cause them to risk closing. Games Workshop is basically like Warcraft and Halo where every killer isn't gonna kill it and only their IP holders can downgrade them to supposedly being a shadow of their glory days.
>>98810172They absolutely do think that Epic 40k would lower big 40k sales and I think it would too, but considering how much of a "buy just for the sake of buying" cult they've cultivated, it's entirely possible double dippers would make it worth it. Hard to say with absolute certainty. I think another big hurdle is that every faction would (fairly) expect representation in Epic 40k too and that would be a lot of extra SKUs for stores to stock.
>>98810124model silver is too watery and covers baddly, or was that game's? either one is trash and the other is a-okhaven't tried mechaIdk if you can see the difference on photo, left was with the in-set imperial gold wash and right one was with purple ink dilluted to a wash-like consistency with some light imperial gold over/dry brush afterwards on both. Personally i prefere the purple and got celestial purple wash later on and it performed fine
>>98810244I think GW didn't want to take the risk too much and keep things simple and not negatively affect Warhammer 40k.>I think another big hurdle is that every faction would (fairly) expect representation in Epic 40k too and that would be a lot of extra SKUs for stores to stock.Could have been used as shelf space holders so non-Warhammer stuff can't be put there. But I do understand your post. >>98810245Thanks!>left was with the in-set imperial gold wash and right one was with purple ink dilluted to a wash-like consistency with some light imperial gold over/dry brush afterwards on bothI never would have thought of putting purple wash over gold to shade gold ever. Do the washes from the True Metallic Lines have metallics in them to preserve the metallic sheen? I can handle them not being matte as that can be a good thing so I remember what models need to get the gloss then ultra matte varnish treatment.I just checked AK Interactive. They have acrylic washes now too. In dropper bottles. Not their deep shades acrylic meme pots.
>>98809878Celestine is bad on the table right nowYou need Morvenn to make the Paragon suits worth itYou need something like Dominions and an Immolator to kill heavier infantry>>98810245>Custodes>PolishThere's a joke about eastern europe and buying the "cheap to get into" army in here somewhere
>>98810256they still matte them a bit, also you can finally use purple as true metallics obey color theory for once>>98810259that's like my 3rd army and decided to go on a whim to play when im annoyed at all the marines in lgs and clubs
>>98810172>"solve" the issue of bigger battles in the sense that more units are involved without needing a whole room's floor as the battlefieldyou can do that with a normal table, just by having cool background panels at the sides of the table and rules for having units come back once destroyed or be replaced by new units.it may be less soul, but it works
>>98810263>they still matte them a bitBut do the washes for the true metallics line have some metallic flakes in them? >also you can finally use purple as true metallics obey color theory for onceIn what way? I never really studied color theory to be honest. I just always thought that if some colors look good together then they look good together. Which is why the Midwinter Minis plasma glow tutorial having purple over bright green always confused me.
>>98809409>There are instances of bald white people assumed to be racist skinheads from Warhammer 40k players at the LGSNot once did they stop and ask>does he wear skinhead clothes?>does he act like a skinhead?It was just "he's suffering from one of the most common side-affects of aging as a man, so he's a nazi"This is either an extremely elaborate ruse or wholly true, because I know of LGS fags who do shit like that.>t. wore a West German surplus jacket into my LGS once (it still had the flag on it), had someone complain to management about my "nazi jacket"The management laughed it off with me, at least.>>98810263>that's like my 3rd army and decided to go on a whim to play when im annoyed at all the marines in lgs and clubsFair enoughI usually just swap to my "Oops! All Russ" list to do that. For *some* reason, marinefags in my area don't like when you put a bunch of units that can easily chew through theirs while shrugging off damage on the table against them. I've gotten it through to one of them with the shoe-on-the-other-foot metaphor, at least.
>>98810223Your mistake is thinking that the stock has any inherent value other than prediction of future growth. That is all it has ever represented. It does have real monetary power though even as a specualtive good.
>>98810245Right looks way better.
>>98810297It represents fractional ownership of a real-world business and it derives intrinsic value from its underlying assets and earnings but I get what you’re sayingAlso GW sucks
>>98810186>>98810223I am assuming it’s a multifaceted thingBlizzard entering into the wargaming space might have some people putting their hands in their pockets a bitIts not like theyre making huge waves or anything but things like that tend to make investors a little more cautious for a bit
Just looked up the market cap of GW, apparently somewhere around $7.1B. Seems like a gross overvaluation. It just got pumped during covid and the last couple years without the revenue growth the match. It has ok EPS but shares are 16300~ GBP each.
>>98810355“the algorythm” has them as being like 30% overvalued but investors keep investing because they’ve just been a strong safe company for so longpractically a monopoly on the tabletop space for a long time
God damn when did this model come out.It's really tempting to make a nid army for this model alone
>>988103753 years ago with the Nid wave at the start of 10th edition. It's a perfectly viable army to run three of them right now, though it is a dual build with the slightly less ridiculous Norn Assimilator.
>>98810375they all look the same to me

>>98810233sure>1. the stocks dipped, GW has somehow also lost £480 million this month on...something and generally 11th ed is just "meh" and a bunch of things is turning people off or tuning out, I don't believe it's a temp dip that'll iron out, post-covid era is over>2.the edition simply being meh has seemingly hit GW really hard, speaks to me like its a poor foundation40k is basically funding the entire company, given AoS is lying in a puddle of its own piss and specialist games are specialist gamesif 40k fucks up, everything will come crashing down
>>98810441Nice painting. Get some basing paste friend. AK muddy ground is a good general purpose one.

Cursed idea: Replacing all the legs of a Votann army with Steeljack/Cadian legs to make them all stand at normal human height and calling them a lost Dark Age human remnant.
