Favourite model to field?
>>98839739>tqMy favorite is the latest model to purchase. Terrain? Get real, this is a wargame for adults not lego playtime. Pic related, me, gettin’ it in
>>98839750I genuinely want to know what tantrum you had to be spamming random photos of your LGS on 4chan.
One of my hobby pipe dreams is the ultimate modular table, with no visible gaps (and possibly magnetized to solve the base problem)
How do I:>Paint all of my 400+ minitures>Paint like a professional and not like a gorilla with cerebal palsywithout quitting my job?
>>98839774>the base problemmodels having bases isn't a problem, models just look bad without them
>>98839779Paint 400 minis like a retard so you learn.
Why do they call them “Thousand Sons”?Because an army with one “father” and one group of “sons” costs 1000 points.Coming soon to a table near you: Thousand Tzaangors
>>98839779Paint a little bit every day. You also shouldn't have bought 400 minis before even thinking about paint, but that's already done. Just paint a little every single day and your backlog WILL shrink.
>>98839780>It's not a problem for me, so it's not a problem period
>>98839739>TQit was careen, until it was taken out this edition. i understand why as it its quite niche and the player would be lucky to use it in a game. no idea what it is nowfavourite model would be squads of genestealers, love those dudes
>>98839779accept that hack painting techniques >drybrushing>airbrushing>zenithal>slapchop>dipping>contrastare professional techniques as well
>>98839779>400 minis>four hundredwtf anon why
>>98839790It's not a problem period, which is why it's not a problem for me.You're the one making it THE problem for everyone because you're retarded enough to make it a problem for you alone.
>>98839793>tfw i use all of those except whatever dipping isguess im a turbohack
>>98839739Favorite stratagem is tough. I think it's a toss-up between Steadfast Determination in Fellhammer Siege-host and Unseen Lurkers in Vanguard Onslaught. Steadfast Determination is very simple, but in practice it's so fucking good. A 5+ FNP against shooting attacks. But it works on everything you care about, and it makes terminators just absurdly tough, especially when combined with a Chaos Lord with Bastion Plate (nullify an attack each round), they're basically impossible to shoot to death. Every game I play with my IW I slam that button every enemy shooting phase.Unseen Lurkers is a lot less straightforward, especially in 11th. It's an 18" lone op for any vanguard unit, and *6"* if they already have lone op. This is funny, because combined with the reactive move in Vanguard (a flat 6") it can make Lictors almost unassailable. In 10th, this always caused headaches for my opponents because Lictors were effectively unshootable (especially since the stratagems are used reactively) but charging them meant losing a character a lot of the time. In 11th it's both better and worse. Better because you can give them an upgrade for a reactive move so you don't have to spend CP on that (or threaten it) and worse because charging lictors is much safer now.In the end, I think it's Steadfast Determination, just because how often I use it and how fucking good it's been to me.
The only edition worth playing is 4th.
>>98839813great way to start the thread, a bunch of fake grog bullshit
>>98839739>TQTaken Alive is just too damn fun when it pops off.For favorite model to field I will have to choose the humble Incubi. They've got more drip than rip right now, but that's okay.
>>98839819What about some authentic grog shit would that be fine?
>>98839819>painted models on a nice table>fake grog shithere's something more your style zoomie
>>98839750>gets banned on sight in /wfg/ for posting cherrypicked historical tables>moves to shitpost in /40kg/ instead how fucking pathetic can you get LMAO
What caste is this?
>>98839825you'll always have a place in my heart, vintage anon
>>98839779You don't, but the economy is going to completely, irreversibly collapse in the next few years so we're all gonna have plenty of time to paint our backlogs.
>>98839831i played during 3rd and 4th anon, definitely not a zoomie, just sick of it being mentioned over and over again.
bro how do they already have over 20% discount on all new ork modelshttps://taschengelddieb.de/sale-orktober-teil-1
I like reactive moves. I miss the charge phase on from vanguard spearhead, but movement phase is okay.
As a 10th ed babby, i don't understand why 40k boomers say earlier editions like 4th were better. Can someone explain like I'm a total retard?
>>98839833Go'avaysahr
touched up my model from earlier and reposting here ~
>>98839845GW sells to trade at a ~50% discount. 15-20% off is pretty normal, so I'm sure some larger stores can go much lower and still turn a profit is they're trying to keep stock flowing or beat their local competition.
>>98839850It's the edition they started in, typically when they were 12.
>>98839853i also did a sacresant as well....
>>98839850Literally nostalgia for when they were kids with a little bit of not having the internet mould all their opinions negatively.
>>98839850More narrative AND simulationist elements and more varied and unique army rules even if they made the game a slog and much more asymmetric. The game is definitely cleaner and runs smoother now, but the rough edges they sanded off were part of the appeal for a lot of people. And some would argue while it is a better game now, it's still not exactly a good game so it's questionable if this was even worth the tradeoff.
>>98839853>>98839856looks like shit, stay in your discord
>>98839833That's Fathereal Pei'Pay'Pei, uneducated heathen.
>>98839779Do them in groups of individual units, one section/color at a time. I did that with my deldar. Same problem, I had close to 300 unpainted models. Got them done in 6 months working full time. You’ll hate your army though and never want to see it again. GL!
>>98839872Energy certainly getting matched right here
>>98839880another metal tray fag but its not THE metal tray fag. you arent the deldar ritual poster by chance are you?
>>98839825
>>98839901
>>98839862>more varied and unique army rulesThis is just blatantly false. 10th isn't great on that front, but 9th ed has far, far more involved army rules than 4th does, and the few army rules we've gotten for 11th so far has been very good and flavorful. You know what the "army rule" for Black Legion was in 4th? You could take Abaddon. That was it. That was everything they got. Iron Warriors had "you get 4 heavy support slots but 1 fast attack." which was overpowered as fuck because Obliterators and Vindicators were overpowered, but hardly particularly exciting, or even particularly unique, as Night Lords had the same rule but in the opposite direction (and it sucked ass because fast attack as a slot was A LOT weaker than heavy support). Dark Pacts shits all over those rules as far as army rules goes (and that's before going into actual legion rules), as does Death to False Emperor like they had in 9th.

>>98839856damn girl your skin looks like old leather
>>98839802Pretending to be retarded is still retarded>making it the problem for everyoneYes, when I'm talking about my personal pipe dream, I'm very much making it an universal problem, very apt observation, truly the brighest of /40kg/
Do tyrnaids need a primarchs geneseed to make a new nid based on one, or can they get by with a few cells or dna strands of one?
>>98839932>I'm very much making it an universal problemyou are, by calling it "THE" problem, instead of "MY" problem.You can backpedal all you want, but your hypocrisy is self evident.
LE ECKS DEE I LIKE ORKS XD :DD XDDD
>>98839535Tau don't really make sense for the type of game that Space Marine is. They don't have hordes of melee chaff besides kroot hounds to surround players with.This is going to be a problem with Necrons as well but at least they have some options for more elite melee threats. Looking to the Minoris/Majoris/Extremis/Terminus classifications you can only really have things like canoptek swarms and warriors on the bottom ends as minoris threats and everything melee would have to be rarer like wraiths and lychguard.The only new thing that makes sense with their existing game formula is a horde army like GSC or Drukhari where you can have lots and lots of chaff for a marine to chew through. But I think it is much more likely that they either just go with Orks again, or use mindshackled Orks and Tyranids to supplement a Necron threat.
>>98839937Every single space marine already carries a primarch's geneseed.
>>98839957Then why don't we have a tyrnaid based on primarchsOr is that the role of the norn emissary
>>98839937What makes primarchs special isn't just in their genes but in the specific warpstuff sorcery of their making, of which only some part bleeds into their sperm and trickles down into their groomed child soldiers.Nids already feasted on marines genes and haven't really found much that's cool to use except for some genes for optimising fused ribcages as far as we know, which were applied in the making of tyrant guards.Presumably if they get their talons on the corpse of a primarch, which I think was one objective of their invasion of baal, they could get something out of it, but it's not as straightforward as>I can haz nidded primarchs naoalso because it's fucking lameThe norn emissary is already designed as a model to be in the same rough weightclass as primarchs, but they lack plot armor, so no matter the already deployed story hooks about one coming for this or that guy, they won't really do much; but the point is, if you're looking for a "nid primarch" it would be what the swarmlord is to a hive tyrant but for a norn emissary, a named one with a legend or story attached, maybe with some behavioural quirk, streak of attributed accomplishments, and distinctive feature like an albino colouration or something.Nothing to do with primarch genes.Again, because that would be lame.
>>98839932Do you like space wolves by chance? You sound like someone I know.
>>98839944Yes, when I talk about my personal project, and the problem inside my personal project, surely "the" refers to a universal issue.Again, pretending to be retarded is still retarded. Last reply.
>>98839960It was more of a power level question since I want my dudes to have a super strong monster leading them.I don't want characters like primarchs, I want an option of having a giant leading my army.Norn Emissaries are cool but I didn't know how strong they were in the lore compared to a primarch
>>98839960What makes norn emissaries especially suited for this kind of special characters is that there's the solid possibility that they don't just get recycled into digestion pools and respawned like all other tyranids, instead it's suggested as a possibility that some of them normally live attached to the norn queen, then detach from whatever alcove or symbiotic spot they have to descend onto a world, and once they've done whatever they needed to do they return onto the ship and get back into their spot.This is only a hypothesis, but it's a better excuse for having recurring features than>the hive mind thinks spawning the carnifex with a scar is cool and impressive
Why are company heroes characters now?Is it because of the update?
>>98839979I always thought Old Eye kept on being used because he has a myth the imperials have about it that gives the nids a psychological advantage \Like as a way to fuck with humans
any recasters that do necron pariahs? CDR doesnt do them
>>98839786>that kitbash on the sorcerer pictureHuh? Is that an official GW image? I thought they weren't allowed to do that anymore.
>>98839856The lipstick feels a bit jarring. I'd post a picture someone made of "how to do 40k faces" and the example was a SOB with more natural tones but I didn't save it.
>>98839960I hate height insecurity rocks so much. I have a norn sitting in its box unassembled because I still haven't decided what to about that stupid thing.
>>98840004This one?https://imgur.com/gallery/mini-tutorial-on-painting-faces-HhI2CFk
>>98839786>primarch outside of apocalypse
>>98839977The strength of tyranids is all over the place, also because gw hasn't really decided what their role is, because they aren't exactly generals, that spot is still reserved to tyrants, and the early mentions of them were before the models were revealed so they blurred emissary with assimilator, and the rules tried to make sense of another big monstrous creature in the army by making them kind of target seeking missiles, the emissary for characters and objectives, while the assimilator for tanks and monsters.So on one hand we see them described as suicidal berserkers beelining for a target, or like oversized lictors, while in the other the emissaries are described as very calculating and intelligent strategists.In their first introduction, we saw the actions of a trio of them: one snuck into an marines chapter armoury and tore apart everything before someone pushed the self destruct button that every imperial location apparently possesses; another crawled into an elevator and showed up unexpected to a meeting of imperial commanders and officials; the third and most famous one climbed onto a mountain and jumped onto a valley in an attempt to assassinate the brand new lord solar leontus (huge missed opportunity because he was introduced just a few weeks prior and this assassination could have been what killed the previous lord solar and brought leontus to the fore), who survived only because he was saved by a milliseconds by his custodes bodyguards, who engaged the norn emissary, she effortlessly slaughtered in short order like a dozen of them, before getting shot down by a custodian gunship and trajann valoris; you decide how that puts her on the power scales depending on how much you wank custodes, I won't get into that because I think power scaling is dumb and the only thing that matters is how much the story makes narrative sense.
>>98839893No, that’s not me. I think that’s the only metal tray pic I have. What’s the issue with metal trays that cause you to have a spergasm?
>>98840018in a novel we see a norn emissary take on a less straightforward approach, she used a neurotyrant to cover one planet (or more, I don't remember), into a psychic blanket that gave its inhabitants nightmares about an incoming doom, basically hyping the arrival of the emissary to sow terror and take advantage of the disorder. amongst the visions one marine saw the norn plot to reach guilliman and murder him.I haven't actually read the book because from what little I saw it was just filler with the names of the new units scattered across the text to promote them, but I think that this norn died because the protagonists sacrificed themselves in an explosion that took it out. and I know that pic related literally happened, the norn stops to look at a marine and he feels the psychic backlash of something looking at him in disgust and spite, only to ignite him and move on.Was the vision of the death of the primarch's the fear of the marine himself? was the nid bluffing? is it actually a vision of a planned plot? can one actually pull that off?pointless questions, but the fact they're up support the idea that you can take a norn emissary and put her as hypothetical equivalent to a primarch in a fight or duel
>>98839841Being reminded of how far things have fallen usually has that effect.
>>98839997Yep, that’s the image they use for the termy sorcrer for Tsons. It’s the chaos termy sorcerer lord with a TSons headpiece and prosperine khopesh.
>>98839779Where do I start bros?!
Pls help with homebrew undivided csm warband name.Theyre about lies and mockery, led by eight sorcerers, so Im looking for a loyalist sounding name. Like Emperors Children but obviously not that. Something that sounds highly or heartwarming if these guys answered an imperial distress call.Bonus for no mention of animals or overly complex human concepts (redemption etc....)As a counter example, my loyalist SM chapter is called the Decimators, expressing the opposite: something not very comforting if they came to aid
>>98840083Dump it all on Facebook marketplace and start again.
>>98840083Sell that shit and only get one box. Then paint it.
>>98839779"Professional" just means you get paid for it (it's your "profession"), not that you're good. Just start painting. Take your time and build your skill and confidence. Start with something simple. Terrain, for example, is great stuff to paint as a beginner. A ruined wall doesn't have to look perfect, but it lets you try out different techniques with layering, washes, highlights, drybrushing, painting details, etc. What looks terrible in closeup images can look fine on the board at a distance. 99% of the time you're looking the models from several feet away from an upright angle, not on your 4k monitor.

>>98839853>>98839856Why are the colors so muted? Did you paint these entirely with washes?
>>98840175Look up sponging. It looks nicer than drybrushing if you are airbrushless.

>>98840135They're something like $10,000-50,000, maybe a touch more for really big sprues, but that doesn't really include all the RnD costs, but anyway, to a business as large as GW, its a rounding error. They probably lose that much money in a day if one of the production line workers calls in sick.
>>98840046Would hype up the nids if they had the Born actually fight GMan and give him the Calgar treatment, loosing a limb or two, with the Emperor being unable to intervene due to the shadow in the warp.

>>98839793>Dipping>ProfessionalLmao
>>98839979Just because something gets digested doesn't mean it's learned information or "personality" disappears. I posted my schizo head cannon before but the books make clear that every unique Tyranid bioform is the "same" entity since its creation, even when there may be billions of them active at once. Almost like a ship of Theseus situation where each copy of the bioform later shares it's experiences and gathered genetic information with the hive mind, who then "updates" the base operating software of the original pattern, resulting in an entity that is also aware of its past. That's what makes Nids extremely scary, lore wise. They learn and adapt very quickly and make adjustments where necessary.
>>98840171You’re just making the case for the dip when you post this model cause it actually looks great.
>>98840298Doakes.jpg
So, I'm very much a new fag, a lorelet that finally bought his first models. I have a few questions, feel free to call me a dumb bitch if I deserve it. Are the 11th edition books not in those stickied links, or am I a full blown mouth breather?Any preferred tips for first time painters? I'm gonna watch a few tutorials on YouTube, but this is by far what I'm least comfortable with.
>>98840275>Just because something gets digested doesn't mean it's learned information or "personality" disappears.I wasn't suggesting that, but you can understand how distinctive scars or signs of age aren't really well supported by the recycling system as much as an organism simply keeping on living.
>>98839997They do this for the World Eaters Master of Executions too, the WE one has a headswap. Kinda funny that WE still doesn't have a generic chaos lord equivalent.
>>98840307Only 3 11th edition books are out so far (orks, marines, gaudy marines)
>>98840298are you fucking blind, it looks genuinely awful
>>98840298a free (You)
>>98840308And I'll keep suggesting the albino colouration for a special norn because it's striking, fleet agnostic, and a good indicator of her being a big deal because it might be a sign of extremely long age, as in perhaps millions of years of uninterrupted existence.This immediately removes the option of simply having her job to someone since she can just respawn, paradoxically granting the thing more plot armor, without having to call in particularly lore breaking ass pulls for nid characters.
>>98840318Custodes actually release tomorrow.
>>98840330I guess so, but the pdf leaked at the end of September.
>>98840318And none of them are in the go or mega, right? Again, I feel like I'm probably retarded and just not seeing them somehow

>>98840347OH SHI-
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98840308Ahh got you. Yeah I can understand that. I think it can work like that both ways! It can be the literal same organism, or it could genetically incorporate scars, for whatever reason, like old one eye.>>98840328That's also really cool and I like it. A Tyranid organism millions of years old, the exception to the disposable nature of every other bioform. What kind of creature is that? Are they closer to the hive mind somehow, or perhaps a special connection? Are they so complicated and difficult to make as to make them irreplaceable? How many civilizations has this creature destroyed and consumed? How many heroes killed like a sheep to the slaughter? Are they the Hive Minds "perfect organism", not requiring updating and reconstitution?
>>98840328>that imageTroops, squad leaders, veteran sergeants and Force leader kind of thing with the different colorations. Cool stuff
>>98840350Better plot than the entire HH books

>>98840352>Gets folded into the Eldar codex
>>98840394Yes but the psychological scars are still there. Scout will never be the same
>>98840355The simplest reasons for a continued existence would be that replacing it before it meets something that stops it is moot, and that by replacing it something in its make-up is lost, and since that something can't be genetics and can't be information, because those are meant to be already absorbed and learned, it must be some other esoteric element.The swarmlord's swords are an example of an esoteric element of some kind, at their core there is an extremely rare crystal that's completely alien to this galaxy and that the hive mind can't mass produce, so there's only ever a small number of swarmlords around, if not just one, and if we assume those crystals are also somehow connected to the psychic print of the swarmlord we can understand in its case how it simply cannot be made the same without also using those same crystals.We just need something that can't be easily recovered and reused, or something that is out of the hive mind's grasp to rearrange in the specific pattern it's currently found in this norn.For how intelligent the hive mind can be it ran on a completely different tech tree and may be blind to anything that isn't genetics and number crunching, or at least blind to flukes of quantum bullshit.But the specific reason isn't important as much as the fact that it is old, we don't need to know why here.

>>98840505you can always hold on to it and sell later just dont cut down the sprucecause New on Spruce (NOS) is much easier to sell than being USED the moment you put your nipper on it it become used non virgin plasticalso dont bother with codex yetjust fill out the army, and play it first you dont really need codexjust use other app like New Recruit or print/keep the datasheet around instead (which came with your kit)only buy codex if you just want book to read about random fluff (which all can be read online)codex is really need for people who have to use official 40k app list builder cause official match required you to use itthe launch box is a good way to get into but still better to split the box with someone, sometime the shop will even let you split the box right there and then so try asking your local game shopfor paintingcant go wrong with nuln oil and agrax earthshadedoesnt matter if you dont know what they do yet but they will be useful eventually
>>98840538Word. Thanks anon, that was some good info, especially about the spruce and Codexes. I'll focus on putting a list together instead. Are there any armies that are total trash and should be avoided? I'd like to do some AdMech and Necrons eventually, but I also know I'm getting ahead of myself.
>>98840445Putting such complex systems on a 2d spectrum is utterly retarded
>>98840450Happy you liked it. Gonna work some more on this over the weekend.
>>98839979>>98840275I always thought that all Old One Eyes were just normal carnifexes, who are so tough they tend to survive the same extreme wounds and everyhting about it is just projection by imperials.
>>98840559Idk it doesnt seem that complex
>>98840566Stop spamming this every day
>>98840566Well done on the action poseLooks very convinving
>>98840579Stop posting on a website you're permanently banned from
>>98840572That's something you can get checked for
>>98840418>that by replacing it something in its make-up is lost,Oh so we're using Eldar Daemon Princes rules where they were formed by the very specific niche of The Fall and that emotional energy can't be replicated so a daemon getting destroyed and its emotional energy mixed with the eddie of the Warp taints them so these immortal daemon princes are actually irreplacable.Back to nids, ancient multi million year old beings can be explained as simply that its easier for the hive to let it climb a capillary tower back to a hive ship than to render it down and rebuild it. The nids do operate like water, following the path of least resistance.>The swarmlord's swords are an example of an esoteric element of some kind, at their core there is an extremely rare crystal that's completely alien to this galaxySource?
>>98840584Thanks! I'm not great at sculpting but I'm pretty happy with him.
>>98840579He's posted it twice chill decaldude
>>98840579aww did this hurt your feefees, decalnigger? Perhaps you should try reddit
>>98840594Youre the one confused though lol
>>98840555last thing you want is trying to start two different army all at once especially when you are just starting and dont have one single playable armyat the very least get the first army to playable state before moving on to second oneon the army sideadmech is a meme, avoid at all cost, unless you are a contrarian and you hate being told what to do, and you want to play admech/genestealer because some stranger on internet tell you not to then yeah they are great, you will have fun proving others wrong for the rest of time. with HEY I STARTED WITH ADMECH ITS FINEEEEnecros is also a good start, one of the better army to start with and unique enough that you arent another muhreen players its just that tyranid and ork have been the last 2 armies that was in last 2 launch boxes so they were much easier to get into but really just consider the aesthetic and vibe first if you think necros is definitely cooler then go look for someone dumping the necron army on ebay and get that so yeah consider looking up used army too
I see the peanut gallery is in full force today. Despicable cretins. I'm currently watching 4 niggers running a train on my mother. I'd reckon I'm gonna afford a new knight at the end of the week
>>98840619I think I’ll probably just buy prepainted instead and skip the hassle

>>98840622
>>98840595>Source?I remember it from its first codex, but apparently it was way less specific about the rarity of the crystals.So I might have tripped on my headcanon there, unless it was actually expanded in some rpg book.
>>98840619Again, thank you very much for the info, Anon. Gonna spend some time on eBay. One last question before I fuck off, if you will; is there a good site to use to find games? My LGS is trying to get some 40k together but just can't come up with numbers, and I got a few friends whose arms I can twist, but it'd be nice to be able to something with all the pretty plastic I'm about to throw money at.

So about the Tyranid memory thing, it is possible to be completely remember their lives before metamorphism and even pass on memories genenticallyhttps://mymodernmet.com/jo-nagai-butterfly-study/
>>98840661>So I might have tripped on my headcanon thereHappens to the best of us. Decades of fan theory speculation conversation have made me misremember what was and wasn't old fluff several times.
>>98839839>the economy is going to completely, irreversibly collapse in the next few yearsthat's not how economies work, retard
>>98840622I don’t know, you might need to get a couple more on top of her, so you can get your commission painter on it. otherwise, what’s the point in buying a knight?
>>98840676Nta but you're the one acting most repugnant here, filling your posts with insults. Do you remember what Jesus said about turning the other cheek?
>>98840693Matthew 18:6>But whoso shall cause one of these little ones who believe in Me to fall, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
>>98840693I remember a religious melty he had a while back, and he stated that you don’t turn the other cheek to your enemies and you must fight them with the sword.
>>98840678Yeah yeah we get it tyranids can do fucking anything
>>98839839What could possibly collapse the economy of the Imperium?With the Emperor watching over us we are nigh invulnerable
>>98840678Do nids even undergo metamorphosis? They seem to just come out of spawning pools themselves. It would be cool if Rippers eventually pupated and then became Gaunts, but that's not how they work. Nids seem more like BioDrones than full organisms. Except Genestealers.
>>98840707>>98840713permanent means permanent
Have you prayed today?
>>98840725Well I just thought if caterpillars can remember things after becoming sludge, then maybe Norn Queens can also pull it offDo the spawning pools digest them or is it something more complicated. I'm not too up to date on Nid lore
>>98840725>It would be cool if Rippers eventually pupated and then became GauntsIt was a hypothesis in older editions that rippers represented larvae of various nid organisms, and the anphelion project started from the study of a few rippers, gaunts and warriors and those alone ended up growing all sorts of other tyranids, structures and even biotitans.
>>98840710Duh, only retards think the opposite
>>98840735From what I remember of the most recent lore, harvesters like Rippers and Pyrovoes (and i guess psychophages now) just eat as much biomass as they can, then crawl and die in digestion pools, where the biomass is recycled to make Gaunts/Carnifexes/non-synapse beasts. Maybe synapse creatures have a different life cycle.
>>98840735as far as it's presented, it's just digestion
>>98840727shut the fuck up, retard

Holy samefagging
remember when different races had different squad sizes instead of all being divisible by 5? I sure am glad that's gone along with everything else making things unique
>>98840800I think its just for convenienceYou can play the older editions still if you prefer
>>98840800>remember when different races had different squad sizesno? I think only tau did

All this talk of Nids has a part of me wanting to buy a bunch of models and paint them.....but I only have three units of my first army painted up. Nids were in the top 3 for the army I wanted to start with originally. Anyone else know this feel?
>>98840119Nice. Always love seeing a gobbo
>>98841011If you wanna just paint a few space bugs then buy a Zerg box from that Starcraft game. I've heard that the price for how many you get ratio is quite good. I was tempted to buy that starter set even
>>98840990Nah. I just like a choppier, rougher style, where the focus isn't necessarily smoothness, actually, where smoothness is discarded, but gradients, contrast, placement of shadows and light, etc, are emphasized. I'd still use an airbrush if I had one, for base coats and the like, but otherwise I'll stick to my brush work.>>98840993Look better?, subjective. Faster? Yeah very much.
>>98841028The starter set was rly good actuallyGot the protoss starter too so I could have a small set of all 3 armies and the models are really good>>98841011Everyone wants everything anonJust costs alot and very time consuming
TL;DR: Due to drama and mismanagement of Lexicanum much of the staff has jumped ship and formed their own wiki forked from Lex.https://warhammer40k.wiki.gg/This is also a good option if you're one of the many being blocked by Lexicanum's cloudflare.
>>98841031>where smoothness is discarded, but gradients, contrast, placement of shadows and light, etc, are emphasizedAll of this can still be done more efficiently with an airbrush if you're competent with it. So again, skill issue.
>>98841040qrd?
lol, my LGS made a public post that for the first time in four months they've finally been able to restock the Defiler kit so people stop constantly asking them about it.
>>98841040Damn what the hell thats kinda crazy
>>98840999they try to avoid it or just bruteforce it and hope that by maximising synaptic links they can offset the psychic debuff
>>98841049I'm coming out as a brush elitist. If you majority airbrush your paint job you are simply a lesser human being. Might as well get a machine powered by AI to paint it. I have always stood by these principles and will continue to stand by these principles I only just picked up 30 seconds ago.
>>98841056In-depth explanation for why much of the contributors left.https://warhammer40k.wiki.gg/wiki/Meta:Why_we_are_moving_from_LexicanumI'd say the majority of regular contributors left for the new wiki except a handful
>>98841065Good for them man I’ll check out the new site
>>98840175I use a BIG round brush and it looks fine.
>>98841062Bro is an elitist for long phallic tools with goop dripping off the end lmfao
>>98841065The biggest things I'm seeing are >the backend is old>one guy has final say>video game and black library lore is separated from codex loreI'm not sure what it's like to work under the guy but I hate new websites and don't care for BL so a lot of this isn't appealing to me, but I'll check both and see which one tends to look better. I feel like I'll probably use lexicanum on desktop and this one on mobile
>>98841090there are other factors like the 1 guy who has say locking all templates and not letting any editors edit them unless they submit requests he never responds to.
>>98840175

>>98841316I name my warlords, even for my tyranids but for them its more like a name the enemy has given them.

Getting a bit late into the new edition. Did GW ever say anything about data cards becoming obsolete over time? I've heard the only thing they're tweaking are point values every time a new codex drops but seeing GW's history, I'm reluctant to get the data cards with the custodes
>>98841354Still a fucking weird picture to keep on your phone
Did you seriously give birth to a child? That's pretty fucking yikes diddyblud, that's a literal child...
>>98841506they supposedly got into a bunch of shit with retailers for making data cards obsolete a month after they were released 1 or 2 editions ago. so it seems like there's an unwritten rule that the data cards will not be changed for at least a couple of months.
>>98839853>>98839856Brother just put the brush down for a bit and watch a couple tutorials.It looks like you tried to paint using dirty paint water.
>>98841608It's the end result of telling people to thin their paints without telling them what happens if paint is too thin. Either that or their water is super hard, excessive minerals in water can cause this issue.
>>98841655My water isnt the only thing thats hard hehe ;)>>98841608It has a weird charm to it

Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98841580A couple of months? That's a hard pass for me then
>>98841169I mean the hivemind doesn't exist as some "entity" like people imagine Khorne or Slaanesh existing.And it technically isn't real either because it is just the various tyranid organisms constantly communicating through psychic signals they all innately use.That's what I mean.
>>98841424stop looking at the feeling and start doing shit
>>98841409Norns vs knights would be sick
I hope more primarchs come back soonIm getting bored
>>98841766It's just the tyranid zeitgeist.
In the noble brightness of the far future…
Does rolling double 1s on charge roll means the charge fails or am I remembering this wrong?
>>98841786>zeitgeistI dont think that word means what you think it means
>>98841354>not the 40kg approved editYou're not very bright, are you?
>>98841762they made sense a decade ago. now that everything is based on the 40k app, there's no reason to buy them.
>>98841792it does now. you have to be outside 2 inches in the movement phase, and you always round up to determine how far you have to go to be in charge range.
>>98841302Becs I look at it to calm myself when painting my wolfies
>>98841812So an effect that gives +1 to charge rolls by an unit means it cannot fail, or is double 1 always a fail?
>>98841808I only buy the mission and narrative cards
>>98841028>>98841037its the Zergling box that's the most cost effective, imho. For less than the price of a box of Intercessors, you get the equivalent of SEVEN typical GW sprues. 19 32mm round bases. The $-to-plastic ratio is bonkers.
>>98841819Have you actually played with these? How was it, if so?
>>98841826And the sculpts are fucking nice too>>98841808Yeah its bullshit
>>98841817>Note that, in the absence of modifiers to the charge roll, a result of 2 (a double 1) is never sufficient for a unit to complete a charge move...There's no critical fail, with modifiers you can have a guaranteed successful charge.
>>98841086the other guy likes tiny phallic tools that spurt out goop from the tip when you press it
I thought the xmas army boxes are today
>>98841152Nids don't "communicate". Imagine a super AI controlling all the meat puppet individuals like it's playing an RTS. If it's not directly controlling a brood, the brood has rudimentary AI protocols like auto-attack or something.That's how the Hive Mind works.
>>98841838no, just some fuckass $50 grot.

>>98841858Yeah they're pretty close actually, Ina even helped design her strawberry onesie model.Now all I'm think is that since Ina is the priestess of an old god would it be chaos/primordial truth or something like a genestealer cult.
>>98841888Sniped him, kek
Do you guys think GW has a problem with people not buying kits because customers think they'll be updated soon? I can't imagine people are buying Baal Predators, Hellbrutes, Chimeras, Land Raiders, Rhinos, or anything Grey Knights
Been reading some Horus heresy recently and this Leman russ guy is giving of some real gay vibes. Why did GW make the authors do that?
>>98841950You'll actually understand why when Logar and Angron talk about the night of the wolf.
>>98841950>>98841965>The wailing of lorelets Never change my little mental rejects
>>98841978remember when logan grimnar was nearly killed by a single naked world eater and had to run away in shamelol!
>>98841978Remember when you admitted to not reading the fluff and only learning from ai summaries.
>>98841978post one book you own.
>>98841978Why do you get so mad about space wolves? They're not real.
>>98841993I read plenty of synopsis and summaries and also spend hours on 40klore just reading and learning new things daily. >>98842007I own tons but I’m at the office
>>98842038>own tons>read none
>>98842044I scan through the best chapters and listen to lots of voice overs
>>98841909i painted these blasties in a day i dunno why it's taking the mutant so longmaybe because he's living in his car?
>>98842058Ahh so you’re the little puke who posts that nonsense about the car, I’ll make a mental note of that.
>>98842058>unpowered plasma gunsbased
>>98842058uh oh, you just earned a stalker.
>>98842069How is that based? He’s a lazy bum.
>>98842058how do you get so many bare heads, and what do you do with the extra helmets?
>>98842065These personal vendettas of yours is another reason why people don't like you man stop taking the bait every god damned time
>>98842058Anon why you mini's look so flat? I can see they have been washed but did you do highlights? (Im retarded)
>>98842089It's his "style" to stop halfway through every paint job.
>>98842077
>>98842058Ugh its the nematodes fag
>>98842038>I read plenty of synopsis and summaries and also spend hours on 40kloreHow about you spend some time reading your codexes and books.
>>98842038>The officeIs that what you call your car
Does anyone think used sump oil would work as a wash?
>>98842124The discussion is over, drop the antics and go about your business here
Another anon larping as decalfag, better delete the posts to make it look legit ecks dee
>>98842081most kits have enough on the sprue for everyone but for the ones that don't i scavenge them from my pile of potential the helmets go into the bits box
>>98842124ignore him, the discussion isn’t over.it is possible he works remotely. possibly performing some menial data entry in order to make ends meet. it would explain why he its possible for him to have a job despite being so clearly mentally unstable.
>>98842133>and go about your businessI would but there's a fatass living in his shitty car blocking the road.I think his mom is the hooker at the side of the road.
>>98842144You know I'm sort of curious about who'd hire someone as autistic and unstable as decalguy. He's here 24/7 so I doubt he's providing any valuable labour.
Dont mind me mods just staying on topic and ignoring the daily raidI miss green-rod necrons
>>98842156Can you at least try staying on topic and not worrying about other people’s private lives you weirdo freak?
>>98842162You are the daily raid.
Should i paint more gsc today?
>>98841795Is there a better word to describe the collective behavior, intent, and proclivities exclusive to a particular species as expressed in a singular, overarching idea? I'm fluent in english, but I'm not a linguist, so a better word might not be known to me.
>>98839750He looks disappointed with the terrain too
>>98841789Can I, uh, get 40k in neutraldark? I prefer a slow slide into darkness and despair with some genuinely good people trying to make things better, but ultimately failing.
>>98841931Fuck all of you. No one ever answers my questions, you'd rather shit up the thread talking about DecalFAGGOT. Assholes.
>>98842256Because its a shit question lmao ecks xd
>>98842058there's a dude in wip painting up 5 of them and already has most of them done in like 2 hoursguess the decalpedo's just that bad at painting lol
>>98842256Im sure theyd rather it not be a thing but the only way to prevent it would be to be fully open and transparent about their roadmap moving forward for a very long time frameWhich I guess they are unwilling to do?
>>98842142I fucking hate your paint jobs
>>98842256Pearls before swine; never come here expecting meaningful discussion. Enjoy when it happens, don't freak out when it doesn't. Better to think of this place as somewhere you can complain about stuff without faggots wailing until you're banned for some innocuous shit.
>>98842268nta, what's wrong with them? Only thing I would complain about is everything looks too smooth and the random nog looks goofy.
>>98842202Zeitgeist translates to "time spirit". It is used to describe a culture or politics or the state of the overton-window in a society during a specific period of time.It is not applicable to describing the hivemind of the Tyranids.
I'd rather shit up the thread then post models desu
>>98841151It is, alongside the regular one.
>poster gets the attention of you know who>suddenly his models gets hateCoincidence?
>>98842282Nta but I don't like them because they read as "low effort" to me. The artist clearly has the technical skill to do much better, as can be seen by how clean the paintjob is. He chooses to do volumetrics on the armor, but then refuses to give detail on it, or add depth to the aquilas, the faces, hair, or anything else for that matter.He willingly chooses to produce a lower quality piece of art despite clearly having the skill to do much better.All I see when I look at their models is wasted potential.
>>98842316>artBruh this shit is toys and we’re all grown adults we don’t always have time to go hard on every squad
>>98841151Im doing spooky theme.Painted hellblasters are what he fears most.

>>98842321>this shit is toysYour face is toys.He's free to keep producing shit, and I'm free to keep thinking its a wasted opportunity to make something good.If he actually took the time to paint one thing to his highest ability then I wouldnt be so hard on him, but he's clearly just lazy.
>>98842326They're nice and clean. Could use a highlight or two maybe but all in all I'd give them 6.5/10

YOU POST MODELS NO U POST MODELS ECKS DEE XDDDDD :DD LE XD XD
>>98842375That is probably the lowest quality post in this thread.
>>988423465/10 per the rubric
>>98842382Not as bad as your shitty ritual posts ratfag
>>98842390This isn't a rubric, it doesn't provide any clear qualifications, it just goes "uses some techniques, uses some more techniques, uses a lot of techniques and looks better."

>>98842462No they’re a 5-6 without question, I’ve showed the rubric to outside eyes and they say my models might even list higher than 5-6

>>98842390The only metric I go by is ratatouille critique guy's reviews. Been a while since he was around though.
>>98842512Damn this thread is filled with a bunch of fags isn't it
>>98842518He was awful, gave the worst reviews to everyone and had nomodels
>>98842526You're really angry today
>>98842518Because no one wants to listen to the critiques from someone who doesn't own models
>>98842528Where’s the lie?
>>98842518i'm like 80% certain that was blanon. similar typing style and he never reviewed his models
>>98842548I don’t think he’d stoop that low
>>98842548He's not an arsehole though
>>98842553>>98842557What do you mean? Don't tell me you hold a grudge because he reviewed your stuff at a low grade. It's not healthy to hold on to negative emotions like that.
>>98842390i like to think im at like a 4 or 5 usually myself, bases need work but i guess thats the part i dislike the most in the process
>>98842568His reviews were overly critical and he was incredibly smug and pompous, self aggrandizing little maggot is what he was.
>>98842568I didn't get involved but whoever it was started giving out unsolicited critiques, dont think BL anon would do that shit desu
>>98842575I don't think we're talking about the same guy. The one I'm refering to asked people to show him models to review.
>>98842571I’d say so anon, not too shabby at all.
Made good progress today. Gonna put on a decal or two and grime up the marine a bit but then it's about done. Was thinking about doing snow over this I'm out of Valhallan Blizzard and the AK microballoons and woodland scenics snow I have sucks in comparison I just found out.

Getting a learning game in tomorrow with my guard but repainted a few of my reivers in in the meantime. Been super busy so I haven't been able to get matches in for a bit
>>98842914Good color scheme anon
>>98842910You do not belong and you do not get to dictate who posts what
>>98842910That is the second time I've posted the finished model. Seems like you're having a melty.
>>98842920Thanks I'm at the tail end of a large marine force I'm repainting so I'm glad to be sticking with it.
>>98842910Post yours then. You've got models, right?

>>98842975>no timestampstolen from discord
On the off chance the anon that just posted his paint collection on /v/ moments before the thread got purged - I'm very much intrigued and would like to learn more about your setup.
>called the 'Dark Age of Technology'>was a golden age of scientific advancement???
>>98843010when its the same shit over and over again yes i care anon. you lot freak out when decalfag does it so how is this dude any different?
>>98843030Anon, be honestDid you go to school on a bus that was a little smaller than the other buses
>>98843032>defending decalfagAh, you are witch hunting other model posters again. Enjoy the 300th ban.
>>98843018>no timestamp>stolen from discordstop making shit up you little fuck.now you post your models with a timestamp or I’ll hunt you for sport.
>>98843041im not even from the same fuckin continent as him lmao
>>98843032cause he posts new shit frequently, and genuinely improves. what kind of question is this?
>>98843044what does that hello kitty glass look like?
>>98843045Post your models so we have diversity then. You have models right?
I love world eaters but I don't like Kharn, he has no personality
>>98843030It's called that by the people who survived after unchecked experimentation and advancement during this "golden age of progress" caused the human civilization to violently collapse.From the point of view of Imperials it was a "car with no brakes speeding towards a cliff" age, and thus a dark one.
>>98843050ill post something every time i apply a primer, then a base coat, and maybe a wash shall i? give the thread an update on my progress every hour because they deserve it

>>98843080Your reverse psychology is working, I am going to post more of my wips now specifically to piss you off.
>>98843087but which anon are you?
>>98843087Also how the finished dread will look like.
Just repainted the base rim on the scout. What do you guys think?

>>98843087That's a fine looking model anon
>>98843102Breddy gud. What do you use for your snow?
>>98843106but i like you anon, you'll struggle to piss me off
>>98843111Citadel blizzard stuff. Its pretty good. Wouldn't dry brush blue like i did beforehand though. I think it looks like shit. Drybrushing greys on blacks works better for snow bases.
>>98843107PLEASE DO LE ECKS DEE XD XDDDD I LIKE ORKS :DDD
>>98843114Well you just watch!
What's worse. Having an unhealthy obession with space wolves?Or Painting space wolves?
>>98843118Dang, I'd rather avoid overpaying for GW stuff. Thanks for the info though.
ENTER
>>98843130if you paint them theres a good chance theres also a unhealthy obsession involved with it
>>98843131Ak snow is good, but its a goopy texture. Not the dry crusty snow that I have.
Would it be tasteless to add a limited decal to my hellblaster
The push-fit HQ models in the onslaught box have sooooooo many more tiny details than the intercessors I've painted so far that it's kind of intimidating lol. However I still like them quite a lot and I also enjoy having some chunky gravis boyos
>>98843153Can you cut up a transfer sheet to spell out "deleted"?
>>98843164Maybe. Might look a little scuffed though
>>98843156Don't forget to snip off the pushfit pegs and glue the models together normally.
>>98843102I don't like black rims.
>>98843130MeRepainting a 2.5k marine army over the course of two years and then thinking "You know, I could really re-modle/build these intercessors better if I use three different kits."I am the reason why GW stays in business.
>>98843135poor boyz didn’t even have any dakka to shoot with :(
>>98843172I'm gonna have to do that for at least one because the peg already snapped off in the hole lol
>>98843190What about rimming blacks?
What's finecast?
>>98843220Can't say I'm a fan of that either.
>>98843153don’t worry, there’s always way more tasteless things you can do with decals. though I’d say that was already perfected by the tson anon. what you should do is put a “marine” decal on your hellblaster
>>98843223A resin replacement for the old metal/pewter minis that had terrible quality control and never really recovered after a shit initial launch
>>98843223GWs attempt at making old metal molds with resin. Generally considered to be dogshit all around. I don't know if the forge world resin casts they did for the metal sculpts is still called finecast. But those are legitimately good.
>>98839850Just more rules that made stuff interesting but also causes problems like blast templates. Vehicle armor values were cool as shit though. Stunning, knocking out, etc.
>>98843236Armor values were nice but for the longest time you had this weird thing where a vehicles could die to a single hit from a lascannon but a monsterous creature could tank it and keep going at the cost of a single wound.Its one of those things where throwing a dreadnought against a carnifex would likely see the dreadnought lose because monstrous creatures also had some heavy pen in melee.And even if it wasn't a regular thing, the fear of losing a big ticket item like a landraider in a single, big hit was enough to make people fearful of using them.Hullpoints sorta mitigated it but, really, monstrous creatures really should've had some equivalent to the vehicle damage chart
>>98843244Hullpoints also suffered from glancing hits. I think back in 5th ed lysander could solo a titan. I don't understand why people jerk off the old rules. I have a bunch of friends who do it and it's getting obnoxious.The WS table was pointless because I cannot remember a non character unit above ws4The initiative table was also needless because anything with AP that mattered was stikes last (everyone took those.) And anything that ignored this rule was generally considered busted.
>>98839750Game store terrain is always depressing but I'm stuck with it for now since I don't want to wake the baby.Has an awesome game tonight, Lord of Skulls did amazing and smacked down the Void Dragon and Nekrosor Ammentar. Game ended a little closer than I thought it would but managed to squeeze out a win!
There's no reason to spend time highlighting spore mines. And yet I can't not do it.
>>98843257I mean, there's a LOT of flavor to Armor Values rather than unifying them into toughness and it gave some extra stuff like melta/chainfists getting the 2d6 extra pent BUT it also boiled into the usual 'what is front, what is side' arguments.Granted, it wasn't 'that' bad when compared to Templates.The WS table I didn't much mind but thats' because I could easily remember it and did enjoy the interplay of veterans/specialists being harder to hit in return.I will, however, agree with Initiative.Orcs being I2 (if I remember right) was the old meme for them being a melee army and you either...A. Wanted to hit firstB. Have enough toughness/armor to hit lastIt was an either/or thing so it being rolled into Charging for fights first/last wasn't a huge issue. I do miss certain aspects of the older rules (And I did enjoy USRs if only because if you knew one, you knew it on every army) but those got bloated out of control as time went by.

What's a good faction for a poorfag?
Which Craftworld would fuck with Macragge the best?
>>98843378Custards Knights (Individual Knights are expensive but they have a very high points value per model)Guard with almost nothing but tanks and some token bodies to hold objectives
>>98843378Any faction you can get second hand from ebay/zogbook marketplace.
I'm not sure if I just don't like certain models or if it's James' paintjob
>>98843378orks are part of the starter set, so their basic troop units and leaders are selling for pennies, and then you can just a get a few big walkers or some elite units to pad them out more.
>>98843378Marines are orks cause they're part of the starter box so they're easier to find for cheapThen custodes
>>98843279I will agree with USR. Honestly I don't mind the older systems. I just hated GWs refusal to actually use the entire fucking table.Is went to WS10 why wasn't someone like abaddon WS9?
>>98843488I think it was the Avatar that had WS 10. There were a handful of models out there where it was made absurd like that but, realistically, you only ever saw up to 'maybe' 7. USRs like Preferred Enemy, Furious Charge, etc Feel No Pain were all that was needed but then you started seeing weird things like crusader popping in towards the end that were 'like something else but slightly different'. Unneeded expansion is what I would call it.I'd much have those back though as it beats every unit either having a different name for the same thing or just very, weirdly specific rules as part of every unit gaining an ability.
>>98843510I think only the avatar was above 7.Heresy and fantasy handle it better where WS table is actually used and planned. Something like terminators or chosen should've been 5. And average character being 6-8. Not the generic 5-6 character, and occasional named having ws7.My biggest pet peeve with the mid hammer desu. People jerk if off so much, pretending it was like fantasy where you could see the difference play out with the table as your elite unit chews through chaff.
>>98843539Every system had its issues but really it was one of those things where it would only come into play with specialist units fighting mid-tier infantry (I seem to recall Banshees being WS5 but that may just be a missfire on my end) Every system had its ups/down but part of the fun of midhammer was just that there were a LOT less moving parts when it came to enemies. You didn't have stratagems, you only had one army rule instead of the multiple you are seeing with detachments, etc.But you also had to deal with things like the USR bloat, MUCH slower codex release with mostly FAQs instead of actual erratas, and the Force Org chart which I didn't personally mind but certain armies had to deal with trying to rush minimum troops (Marines for example where you'd either do the Las/Plas squad or just min-scouts)Granted, you still see Min-troops but it was a more pronounced issue back then I would argue.
Please understand that Fantasy was always the best game and shat all over 40k's rules during 40k's high (3rd to 5th ed).Shame that GW killed it, glad its back now but it will never be the same till they release all of the legacy factions
Bread?
>>98843602me on the left
>>98843378i just threw together 2000 points worth of Custodes this month with the old Combat Patrol and two Dreadnoughts. With the new Combat Patrol and some other shit you can easily build a full list within the $300-$400 range.
>>98843602I probably would have done Dwarves, Chaos Warriors, or Vampire Counts if I'd gotten inDoW was the first thing that introduced me to it (I was a nerd in a non-nerd family so Vidya was my real exposure) and I got hooked on Marines because of the dreadnought in particularThat and I just like heavy armor.
