Your models. Post them.
What time does GW usually post warcom articles?
Breaking news: local retard used contrast without a base layer
Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98853017
>>98853017just finished this unit of sternguard
>>98853037Crisp
BIGBOUNCYBANSHEEBUTTS
>>98853024I think there are three different times they usually upload articles at depending on how many they have for the day. The first one is in about 35 minutes
>think they look awesome>am extremely edgy and love violence>like the colour red>enjoy fast paced melee combatBros I think I'm going to go World Eaters
>>98853074>>think they look awesome>>am extremely edgy and love violence>>like the colour red>>enjoy fast paced melee combatanother admech player is born
>>98853081>admechI'm torn on them, some models are so cool it's unreal, but then you have absolute nonsense, and not the good kind
Thinking of creating a force of my guys custodes, with a green colour scheme
Yes James I have a question, where's the rest of the WE faction? It's like a combat patrol, a few random boxes, and that's it
>>98853037Whats the recipe for such a clean gold
>>98853100>my [colour] space marines need 500 special boy kits
>>98853110Why do Adeptus Retardes and Custodes and Blood Angels etc etc get a million models, but other factions like Eldar, Drukhari, aforementioned WE, don'tIt's like James is heavily biased
>>98853115customers are even more biased. gw responds to sales.
>>98853115>It's like James is heavily biased bro is so close to figuring it out
All space marines, including chaos variants, are cringe.
>>98853125This but Eldar (all variants).
you know what I fucking HATEdual wieldingevery single mini with two pistols or two swords looks like liquid shit and has a retarded pose because it's not something that can actually be donethose fucking jakhals are the worst, they could be really good minis if they weren't in anime posesexcept slambo, he gets a pass
>>98853130>because it's not something that can actually be doneSays who?
>>98853123Were the customers biased by Drukhari being literally entirely sold out for four and a half months starting BEFORE their codex release so that literally nobody could buy any of them and then releasing a Maelstrom combo box that got recalled with no replacement because they fucked up the sprues?
>>98853130Two-handed weapons are ass to paint around though and way less dynamic to model because they limit possible poses too much.
>>98853137>manlet now gets banned on sightlol, lmao even
Why continue your 11th edition struggle, when 4th is everything you will ever need.
>>98853130Yeah it's a really weird decision in the otherwise highly realistic and grounded world of 40k
>>98853142
>>98853115BA had all their unique kits gutted so it's just a bunch of special characters and sigmarine guard now so WE actually have more unique shit than them.
>>98853130Tastelet. Dual wielding is sick as fuck.
>>98853149but you never played a game of 40k of any edition in your life, perrynigger
>>98853130Jakhals are so ass I'm actually mad they got two fucking units
>>98853158Cope
>>98853168>wearing a cingulum on your neckimagine the smell
>>98853164>Jakhals>TzangorEmperor's Children are lucky they didn't get kits wasted on "cultists". Only Deathguard seems to pull it off well because they kept it to one unit in a large well rounded range.
>>98853172true, but they still raped noisemarines imo
>>98853172Zombies also just work really well for the whole "dudes devoted to the god of disease" thing. They fit thematically, versus Tzaangors who are just bird guys. They don't even do magic. Jakhals are at least psychos who run at you with a melee weapon, which tracks for WE.
>>98853149>can't use my castigators or sacresants with my sisters because they didn't exist>the BA 4e WD dex was fucking awful
Do you think the Biggest Boy will ever get a redesign? It looks so out of place next to the ones that have actually had to be updated for models, but when would they bother? That actual titan-combat game seems dead and it may have even been too big for that anyway
>>98853179This is a sacred cow people really aren't ready to give up, but Thousand Sons in general are a very poor representative of Tzeentch.
What's the deal with Genestealer Cult and Votann? I never see them mentioned, like ever
>>98853183>redesignthe whole FUCKING POINT of having different worlds produce different patterns is that there need be no redesignsimply keep using both old and new versions on the tabletop and in artof course GW is still in retarded mode and goes so far as to replace old art with new, worse, digital art of the new model designs
>>98853186Too insignificant and too new.
>>98853184A little bit yeah, but it's fixable with the right units added to the roster. I don't even hate the idea of the Tzaangors or the robot thing they got last edition but they really need more kinds of spellcasters in general before even thinking of adding stuff like that.
>>98853186they’re inherently very small scale, so any mention of them would be purely local like a votann corporation raiding a mining world or genestealer cultists causing an uprising on a backwater planet. nothing to really make grand statements about or big army movements like you could for marines or orks.
>>98853037>tfw still to this day cant paint metallics without them looking like shitId love to achieve that clean af metallic look like your models tsons bro
>>98853195Still got more variety than Emp's Children, dear Christ what a boring launch. Just a daemon-primarch and then a heap of power-armor foot-infantry
>>98853181But you can you dumb dumb. The writers of the rules expected you to do so.
>>98853181BA are red space marines.
What happened to the i like orks :D guys?
>>98852206No, it's a Firstborn proxy for 6 Eradicators
>>98853207Yeah. The cult legions really should've been supplement books with a few obvious restrictions instead of codexes. Like if you're gonna make their launch ranges that tiny at least let them pick through some CSM units to cover all of their bases.
>>98853011Are great axes as cool as they look?
>>98853207Chaos as a super faction is propped up entirely by CSM and Deathguard. All the other factions are in a bad way in one way or another. Demons and TSons compete well but their ranges are ass. WE and EC are stillborn. And CK is just a fucking mess of a spam army compared to IK.
>>98853186Votann get a little throwaway line in every campaign book that they are there fighting or mining (or both). Like there's a votann merc band on Armageddon fighting the Orks.
>>98853231CK literally isn't an armyWardogs and Ruinator, with weapon variations are the entire range you have to choose from
>>98853236No, they can choose normal knight models too
>>98853241Wow so you get a whole 6 models to choose fromI actually quite like Knights but there's just so little.I don't know why James won't develop more models for other factions rather than recolour marines for the millionth time
>>98853135drukhari have always sold really poorly, so they're at the bottom of the production list. it's not the chicken and egg situation serial-whiners like to imagine.
>>98853231Chaos gets narrative significanceXenos get model range significanceSpace Marines get bothOther Imperium armies get screwed
>>98853246You're right, but GW has done them no favors over the years either. I was there at the 5th edition relaunch when stores literally could not get stock of their range for over a year after debut because of half the range in finecast was only available by direct order or constantly being recalled due to quality issues.
>>98853246DE were actually quite popular after they got their 5e reboot before once again being neglected.
>>98853203>>98853106Man I keep forgetting to make a guide for the gold. Still, this is what I basically do>basecoat Retributor Armor/TTC Dragon's Gold>shade using a 1:1 mix of Magos Purple and Gore-Grunta Fur, doing more passes for deeper shadows>you can also use a warm, dark brown to shade the absolute deepest recesses but I rarely botherNow you want to build up the highlights towards the parts that would actually reflect light on a metallic surface. You can take a couple reference pictures of your mini under a light source coming from an angle you want and cranking up the contrast. Eventually you'll get a feel for it. Metallics are somewhat more forgiving to layer so what I usually do>1:1 mix of Retributor Armor/TTC Dragon's Gold with Liberator Gold/TTC Glistening Gold>highlight color on its own>1:1 mix of the highlight color and Canoptek Alloy/TTC Platinum Crown>edge highlights on upwards facing and most prominent edges using pure platinum color
>>98853245Unfortunately marines just sell insanely well always. I wish other armies got more attention too, but GW is a business and marines keep the lights on for them and then some.
I know we all hate marines and our hipster tendencies reign supreme, but bro...Black Templar and CSM are looking super cool
>>98853292Marine hate isn't necessarily because we think the ranges don't look cool. Most of us agree and also collect marines of some kind or another. It's the incredible lopsidedness of support that GW provides for Marines that is annoying. And then even more annoying when they get their guaranteed starter box every edition and they use it to just make lazy resculpts that don't even look better than the models they're replacing. I don't care as much that Marines get more models than everyone else, but they're not even good models most of the time. They are models to have just for more models sake for people to buy so that there is more Marine product for marine players to buy.
what the FUCK is DeathwatchIt feels like marines get a new army every nanosecond
>>98853303An old and mostly abandoned concept with exactly one kit and one character. Is that really the hill you want to die on?
>>98853304No, I will die on the "imperial agents are kino and should be a real army" hill
>>98853292I don't hate marines, hell I have probably 4k points worth of CSM painted. I just wish GW would give like, a quarter of the attention they give to marines to the other armies.
>>98853229axe are the coolest melee weapon and woefully under represented in 40k
>>98853274Brief popularity after a refresh is normal. Orks are getting it now. Consistent updates, additions, and restocking are prioritised by the factions that sell well outside the honeymoon periods. Deldar were a problem they were trying to solve with the ynnari soup.
>>98853319Deldar are just the problem child in general and I'm not quite sure why. They launched them in 3rd and then abandoned them with no updates to rules or models for 14 years. Then they put a ton of effort into them again in 5th before abandoning and axing the range as soon as the Chapterhouse suit concluded and then started the Ynnari thing before abandoning that too. Seems like they're ramping up to something with them again but who knows what.
Battleforces?
>>988533446pm
>>98853186GSC never should have been made 40k faction, they would be fine only as necromunda or kill team. Vottan have some potential, but need to be more than cheap DRG knock-off space dwarf marines
>>98853037I like how gooey the plasma looks
>>98853186There are 4-5 GSC anons in the thread what are you on about. And I know at least one Votann guy who also plays orks.
>>98853152
>>98853130Watchu talking bout, G
>>98853344very excited to see the ork one. with all the new kits it’ll be interesting to see what combos they’ll come up with.
I really can't bring myself to paint all the trim and details on the minis, I do like 2 legs then stop. Is there a faction that's actually fun to paint?
>>98853149I've been playing since 4th and I cannot agree with you. 40k peaked in 7th.
>d00d if an ork believes in something then that'll happen xD
>>98853415No. I pay someone I know who is a better painter to paint my models for me.
>>98853130sshhhhhhh
>>98853411It'll probably just be stock they're trying to clear out not anything useful.
>>98853149Why is there so much 4th edition praise these days? Is it one guy or is there a "nostalgia push" going on here? I do hope 4th edition is actually very good. The "problem" is that it may not live up to the praise it gets so I might be let down anyway.
Thoughts on Sororitas?
>>98853440Nice hair and currently unplayable.
>>98853424How does ork science actually work in old canon vs new canon?
>>98853439No idea but at least the tables look better than this.
This is literally for the guys. We need your help.Hi, I'm Elle. I currently sit at 35th in the world in Drukhari, and am the highest ranked Drukhari woman competitively. I've been talking to a lot of other female players and a lot of us are struggling right now, so I want to have an open dialogue about the state of our game in terms of how we are welcomed and accepted into the gaming space.In North America, there are less than 100 female competitive players out of 17,000. That's less than a tenth of a percent. Go to any female tiktok or instagram where we share gaming or painting, or our joy of the hobby and what you will find is some of the most vile, vulgar, insulting commentary you will see. This behavior isn't isolated to online.So, from us to our male counterparts. What do we need to do to get your help with managing the toxic men in the hobby. We've stood by and watched so many in our LGS's continue to allow sexist and homophobic comments that make us not even come into the stores. We've proven that we are just as good at the game as men, and still we struggle with being accepted in the space. With that said...What do we need to do to get better support in our local communities?What have you seen work in your spaces?We want to be here. We love this game, and we love being a part of the community when it is welcoming to us. That is becoming more difficult to find these days and some of us are struggling finding a way to keep playing with the way things are right now.

>women in the game store post>look inside >trannyEvery time
>>98853460>homophobicLet me guess, its not biological woman's post?
Is 40k an actual, genuinely competitive game, or is it more of a board game to have a laugh with your friends with?
>>98853485yes
>>98853130
>>98853439it's a bunch of contrarian hipsters posing as grogs despite 4th being older than they are.
>>98853485Since 10th it's been designed for tournaments. It has not been a beer and pretzels game since 4th.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98853439Old editions have lots of problems people complained about too. Ultimately what it comes down to is that even with their problems the older editons (pre-6th) were comparatively better at being narrative war games about battles in the 41st millenium instead of the board game trying to be a video game wearing the rotting skin of a war game that newer editions became. If you expect really intelligent, tight rules writing neither old nor new 40k will deliver but if you just want to smash dudes together in the 40k universe older editions will probably be better.
holy crap they made a model of that guy from Magic
>>98853498I've been playing since 4th and can definitely say 40k peaked in 7th. 4th was clunky and had a lot of stupid rules.
>>98853504>instead of the board game trying to be a video game wearing the rotting skin of a war game>destinyfags being called out
I wonder if this is why nothing in 40k is sparking joy for me, because it feels soulless
>>988534394th is decent. Notably an improvement in army construction over the current system. Terrain is usable without some of the awkward rules in the current edition. Would like to see a backport of the 5E dark eldar book since it's peak DE and 4th is marginally better for core rules.Would recommend it over 9-11e easily.
>>98853517That is such a nebulous descriptor. Be more precise.
Here is my October collage submission under the energy weapons category. Didn't turn out as clean as I would've liked; the angles of the mini were really awkward for edge highlighting. The ancient was more fun to paint, for sure.
>>98853520It's axiomatic that 40k is soulless
>>98853506They probably will refresh Kharn again at one point
>>98853532What specific game mechanics make you think this? Are you one of these retards you prefer 3rd and 4th because the Marines and Guard had rules for custom faction rules (that no one else got) that were full of non-options and beginners traps? You're already using a word that means nothing because souls don't exist in the first place so shut the fuck up or use words that have actual meaning beyond your fucking pathetic feels.
>>98853536>he doesn't inherently understand soulless
>>98853508I've been playing since 3rd and can definitely say 40k peaked in 4th. 7th was clunky and had a lot of stupid rules, powercreep model creep and unbalanced books.
>>98853544>shitposting larper pisses himself when called outntab lol, lmao even
>>9885354940k is a product from suits, especially now with the wholesome chungusification of it and push to be mainstream
>>98853037How'd you do the plasma? I love it.Pic from my game Friday.
>>98853553>more buzzwords and vaguepostingkeep going, this is pretty funny
>>98853536>were full of non-options and beginners traps?Yeah lucky current 40k doesn't have these. Especially lucky it doesn't have even more of them due to even more releases padding rosters. Doubly especially lucky GW doesn't keep releasing new box sets with junk units that don't even go together.
Malcador was right. The Primarchs should’ve been girls.
>>98853556It's true though. 40k can never have anything interesting or paradigm shifting in the story because it will affect profit. It can never be too grimdark, or have models that aren't family friendly, because that will affect profit. I could go on about the artistic void that is 40k but I digress
>>98853439It was a creative hobby with a system designed to support your ideas and still hold up on the table. Nuhammer brakes appart if your official terrain piece is 2 inches away from the GWtm officially supported map pack.
>>98853559The difference is nowadays you can find every codex and rules update online for free so if you put in the app you can avoid it whereas back then if you jump through every hoop you could make every one of your sergeants in apothecary but they were so expensive in pts and $ it was better just have more models on the table.
>>98853501larper
>>98853566>40k can never have anything interesting or paradigm shifting in the story because it will affect profit.It's not a story, it's a fixed setting in which people can roll dice and have their armies fight. If you came here looking for a developing narrative you made a mistake.
>>98853567>Nuhammer brakes appart if your official terrain piece is 2 inches away from the GWtm officially supported map pack.lmao nogames
>>9885357040k has not been a beer and pretzels game since objective started being scored every turn between primary and secondary. Nowadays there's way too much to keep track of each turn to play while drinking a six-pack.
>>98853517Try to find any trace of soul in this picture: >>98853554
>>98853562But the Emperor didn't want humanity to be tied to just his bloodline. Marines are made so they're made from normal humans thus pic with Primarch daughters isn't the point.
>>98853583The minis look nice and I'm sure they had fun playing. Assuming the terrain is LGS-provided they might not have the artistic skill or staff to paint the terrain. In 4e like 90% of battles were blank astroturf fields with a foam plateau or rock thrown in.
>>98853579How did you retards cope in the days of charts and unstreamlined rules? Oh wait, you didn't it's just a larp.
Uhhhhh, news?
>>98853554Thanks! I don't remember the exact steps for the plasma honestly but I'm pretty sure it was something along the lines>incubi darkness basecoat>thinned down white into the recesses and at the very bottom(oil paint would work great here)>layer/drybrush brighter colors(kabalite green-sybarite green-gauss blaster-white) on the coils>dots of pure white on top of the coils for a "gloss" effect>edge highlight with one of the brighter paints around the coils
how long until battleforce?
>>98853583Yeah the unpainted tournament terrain kills the look but I'm getting some games in with a painted army so that's awesome.
>>98853506this model sucks.
>>98853579I like beer and pretzels though…
>>98853652you will get more guard boxes after the last one was in stock for months because it sucked
>>98853652>more battleforcesI hope they don't release one for my army, I literally just bought the one available on amazon
>>98853574Guilliman’s back though and we got a clip of the Emperor like moving and opening his eyes at one pointThings are moving again
>>98853017Inevitably pick up marines here and there so I slowly do them individually as cool chapters I like as little experiments with new/different techniques or as a hobby palette cleanser to break up big projects.
>>98853677pretzels is the same
>No newsWhat's going on???
Guessing half an hour for boxes
Sorry GW you're a bit late for the Christmas boxes for GSC, I already got what I need.like they will EVER release something for the least popular faction in the game
>>98853745>almost went Genestealers because it's the most degen factionI'm still tempted to create an army of them
>>98853689I’m excited for Guilliman to meet up with his bro, love that excerpt about the Lion being the only brother he sort of has a healthy respectable fear of and sort of looks up to in a way.
>>98853752forgot the pic
>>98853753it will be a complete nothingburger like every single lore "event" in the past 15 years
>>98853439Some autist who never had to play against Necrons, Tau or Eldar started a 4th revival project a while back.
>>98853769You don’t know jack shit, it could be an epic event that changes the course of the Imperiums plans.
>>98853769How can you say that in front of Haarken and everyone?

>>98853807Bro what a pile of shit
>>98853810>4 wardogsI'm a happy camper.
>>98853810>literally just bought defiler, mutilator, oblits and venomcrawlerreeee
>>98853811Blood Angels are supposed to be embarrassing.
>marines everywhereWow thank you gw for these amazing boxes
The BAngels box is a shitty combat patrol.
>>98853807>>98853810Holy shit this looks boring
CSM win again
>>98853800lmao it won't, I'm sorry your capeshit fantasies won't become reality decalnigger
>>98853810The Chaos Marine one is pretty good for 40k Iron Warriors. The Defiler will probably make it hard as hell to get lmao.
>>98853807I feel like the SW one is the only one of these that isn't going to rot on shelves>make a necron box without warriors challenge
>>98853807>>98853810
>>98853810Why are these boxes so bad?
Oh look. The exact current meta in a box.Expecting this one to sell out instantly.
>>98853834You’re an annoying pessimistic faggot do you know that? >>98853812Champions of Fenris looks nice for a new Wolves player
>>98853810I swear the chaos marine battleforce has been pushing that fucking venomcrawler/obliterators combo box for the past year or two.
>>98853811They're so desperate to shift those awful shitguard minis.
>>98853852They come on the same sprue, you can’t sell one without the other.
They're already trying to shift intercessors no one needs.
wow it's fucking nothing
>>98853811What I don't understand is the the vanilla Marines box has 2 elites, 2 leaders, a dreadnaught AND 10 intercessors. Why'd they cheap out on the BA box?
>>98853811Comparing that one to the vanilla Space Marine one is a humiliation ritual
>buy space wolf box>don't use any of the wolf bits>some light conversion work on the characters>just a bunch of terminators for discountthoughts?
>4 marine boxes>ork box which everyone already has because they're part of the starter set>necron box which everyone already has because they were already part of a starter set and have been part of several battleforces
>>98853869upgrade sprue is worth a full kit, right?
ork bros IS THIS GUD?
>>98853851I'm just not a delusional idiot, 40k will literally NEVER move the "story"/narrative forward because it's GWs golden goose so they want to maintain the status quo at all costs. Plus it's supposed to be a setting, not a story anyway. You should fuck off to reddit with your marvel faggotry already, you don't belong here and never will
>>98853878If you want some old and ugly models, sure.
>>98853872Pretty sure the 50 bucks you'll save doing this won't be worth the effort of filing off all the wolf tail butt plugs.
>>98853834I dont see any reason why guilliman meeting the lion would specifically change anything, guilliman is aware he exists and hes like a super autist constantly making plans and shit, hes already considered his existenceI do still think the major plot is moving somewhat thoughNothing crazy though its not gonna change what we care about too much
>>98853872>don't use any of the wolf bitsanon...
>>98853847Am I crazy or does this box have almost no discount compared to buying separate??>3 wolfguards: $210>logan: $70>box price: $265-270 (estimated based on September price increases)Am I crazy or do almost none of these boxes give a discount???
>>98853879I think because 40K is now becoming mainstream popular somewhat I think GW might actually try to incorporate some Marvel type stuff to try to appeal to some of the new people joining the hobby
>>98853878No. It's pretty insulting desu
>>98853885Gman has publically stated that having even one of the dauntless few back at his side would allow him to be much more successful but the Lion is a bit of a rogue so idk how that would work. >>98853879I’m done with you just shut up
>>98853893Why the hell would they give you a discount? What did you do to earn a discount?
>>98853893You missed Arjac Rockfish, who is another $50But yeah, bad discounts unless they're intentionally not bumping the prices
>>98853893There's another character in that box
>>98853900you're not a janny here you dumb motherfucker, perhaps you should go to a different website if you can't stomach opinions that differ from your own
>>98853900Well no shit teo primarchs are stronger than one, but I don’t see why meeting him specifically would be some major event that changes anything significantly
>>98853883its not that bad desuthe only thing I hate on it is meganobz that shit need refresh like last yeareverything else either new or at least not dated
>>98853905Your opinion is shit just like your modeling skills you whiny flamboyant pile of trash
>>98853909you don't even paint your own models you fucking cretin, why would anyone care about anything you say lmao
>>98853913I’ve painted all the models I show here you jealous dbag, such a pathetic cope to screech about me not painting my models
>>98853811Isn't that chaplain a marinelet?GOD THE BALD GUARD LOOK SO BAD
>>98853893All these modern boxes are specifically designed so that you "get one thing free" but also something in the box is something you will never ever want or need more than 1 of so there's no value in buying multiple and basically no value in people buying a box to split up and resell each unit on ebay.
>>98853903>>98853904Ah yeah, I missed that one. The CSM one is obviously the best deal by a huge margin but that's solely due to the defiler, everything else is filler.
>>98853920>jealousnot a single person here is jealous of your coffee stained sloppa
>>98853435welp, you were right lmao >>98853810
>>98853893why would you expect a discount
>>98853921Also not a legal loadout any more.
>>98853902>>988539345 pence has been deposited to your warhammer+ account

>generic space marine boxwho needs another redemptor dread and another fucking 10 intercessors? how many redemptor dreads did they make? that fucking thing is in a battleforce boxset at least once per year.>space puppy marine boxi guess it's fine if you want to proxy everything. but the two character models are on huge bases, so they can't really proxy any generic units. but holy fuck is that a boring box that's literally made to sell the meta tournament list.>blood angel boxdid they forget a unit? or are the BA models that overpriced?even as GW's strongest space marine paypig this shit looks disappointing. I guess all that money has to be spent on friends and family this holiday season instead.
GW is apparently worth ~$5.8 billion USD with ~$800 million dollars of gross revenue, and $250m of operating profit. They can't cut prices and give deals or else shareholders will be more unhappy then they already are. They'll just release another primaris character and primaris refresh and call it a day.
>>98853810Why the fuck does GW get rewarded for taking shit that doesn't sell, adding an extra £20 onto the price, and then shoving it back on the shelvesI hate economics
>>98853959The balance team fucked over Redemptor hard in the entire 10e. Bet GW still have a whole lot of that.
>>98853811this would be sold as a combat patrol just 2 editions ago
>>98853959The generic Space Marine box is clearly an army starter, not for someone who already has Marines. I think the BA box is supposed to Supplement the Armageddon Box/Generic Marines but their range is shit so I have to agree it’s shit.
>>98853972Its the price of convenience anon. That's how they justify it. For example I was looking at finally getting my first contrast/speed paints, and the Vallejo "starter" box is $90cad while I can individually buy the same paints for $50. Citadel one is the same. AK and Army are the only ones where you actually save a couple dollars.
i can smell new meganobz refresh nowconsidering they are getting of what left here
>>98853997>getting of what left hereESL or a stroke?
Also I might as well ask, what are your preferred contrast type paints anons? I keep hearing they're all decent but some colors are better than others. I have Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter, and AK available at my LGS.
>>98854000just being orks playa
>>98853816Knightfags won I suppose
>>98853879None of that has been true since 8th edition, which was almost a decade ago
The Sororitas list that won the London GT a few weeks ago looks really fun and I think I'm gonna make it my first army.The question is do I have skills to paint, god forbid, female faces
>>98853965>James workshop is worth 5.8 billion and makes millions >discounts for small plastic dudes never ever >can't even balance their game properly When is GW going to put any of that money into hiring people to write better rules if they're going to nickel and dime everyone?
>>98854002i've been using speedpaints so far. had a few issues at first, but after I bought the speedpaint medium and started mixing that in at a 2:1 or 3:1 paint to medium it started working a lot better.
>>98853934>why would you expect a discount >for buying in bulkbecause that's how economics works, retard
>>98854018I used to play assfaggots and I can confidently tell you that it’s only going to get worseThats just the nature of this shit, I couldnt explain whyI’m assuming it has something to do with every decision going through 14 layers of management but even then it shouldnt be that hard to look at winrates and distribute minor nerfs and buffsSometimes winrates require nuance and analysis to understand whats going on but its not always like that, sometimes shit is just too strong
>>98854015brother that list will be nerfed, buffed and rewritten 9 times over before your dudes even hit a tabledo NOT build anything based on current rules
>>98854031But it looks fun :(
>>98853810You fucking kidding me, where are my eldar battleforce, retarded whoresons?
>>98854049What for? So they put guardians and wraithguard again?
>>98853810>shit everybody already hasI'd rather just get a Defiler on its own at this point
>>98854052just like my chinese cartoons
Do the AI, machine, men of iron has soul?I mean there's machine spirit, but lots of tech priests said otherwise.
>>98854063Maybe it's explicitly said that Necrons don't have souls, but that might not apply to all Machines
>>98853878>free outdated monopose warboss probably would be alright if they had the new multipart one, but as it stands this box is fucking horrible.
>>98854030The power gap between factions is awful. With how much licensing out the IP has done to get more eyes on it you'd think GW would at least try to make the game more fun to play. The constant nerfs and buffs happening right now is annoying to keep up with.
>>98854030half the problem with e-sports is EOMM, which warhammer can never have. so it's becoming the worst of both worlds. Balancing e-sports for the top 1% only works if there's a matchmaking system that lets the other 99% trick themselves into feeling like there's a reason to play the game because they will eventually get to that 50/50 winrate. But warhammer just doesn't have the playerbase to have a matchmaking system, never mind the problem of having to meet at a physical location with models. so we get the anti-casual bullshit of weekly updates to the app, which is the "correct" way to play the game casually. and the updates are only about the play of the top tournaments. but you get literally nothing in return for playing the game casually. as much as people complain about EOMM, psychologically it works for casual players. when you have good matchmaking, you attrition players in the top 1%. when you don't have good matchmaking you attrition players in the bottom 90%. there have been studies on this in COD. GW wants to turn the game into an e-sport, but the way they're going about it is going to kill the casual 90% of the playerbase because they get nothing out of it but being farmed by the top 1%.
Is 2 defilers still meta or have they finally been dethroned?
>>98853810looks like necron, space wolves and knights were the winners here.
>>98854002I think citadel's is the best to work with and how it appears, but I fundamentally hate the paint pots and try to minimize how much I buy from them. Speed paint 2.0s are alright but feel difficult to work with, I didn't try what the other anon said of diluting with the medium. I never tried vallejo or AK's.
>>98854059this is the third time in a row they’ve put that fuckass venomcrawler inside a CSM battleforce.
>>98853878>we need to clear out our ugly old modelsThat's all this box is
>>98853810Oh I love this. Means I get to save money!
>>98854095> chaosfags eating shit againTHE FRUITS OF BETRAYAL!
>>98854095Pretty obvious that they're trying to get rid of shit that didn't sell with some of these boxes.
>>98854018>hiring people to write better rulesModel sales operate on having shitty rules and updating them constantly so paypigs keep chasing the meta and codex churn can keep rolling. Its been this way for 20 years anon. Good rules are not a GW thing and were never the priority, but at least they used to be an aspiration. Currently they're antithetical to the profitable business model so that won't change.
>>98854063Soul as in conscious sapience? Yes.Soul as in a tangible presence in the warp? Whatever the writer is feeling at the time.
>>98854095Its because they cant separate it from the obliterators sprue. Blame the shadowspear box makers. Same reason you could never buy suppressors without also buying phobos, they were too stupid to make standalone kits.
>>98854095Probably havocs, too. Which were supposed to be meta this edition, but people would rather run Oblits instead.
>>98854118wait so the hive mind is literally just a creature hellbent on getting more biomass?There's no conscious sapience in a traditional sense right?
>>98854125It is unknowable. That anon is talking out of his ass
>>98854125The hive mind is kind of an inverse, there's no singular mind or personality but it has a fuck huge presence in the warp like a pseudo-chaos god. The reason why demons are so afraid of it is because it drowns out everything else in its presence like the astronomican.
>>98854095The venom/oblit combo box is pretty much filler. 2 units in the picture (for the cost of one regular unit) just makes the battleforce look better.
The hivemind is fucking stupid. >hurr I need to kill...becauase!!!Nids need an actual purpose, violence for violence's sake is shallow and boring. Maybe a named character or something would help bring an actual motivation and depth to their range.
>>98854081Yeah this makes senseMatchmaking based on truing to keep people neurochemically addicted instead of just making a fun fair game lol
>>98853816Can you buy three of those and have a whole range of the army?
>>98853873They are dogshit boxes but none of these models were part of either starter sets. The boyz are the new ones. Maybe the 10 necron warriors? But not like thats the bulk of the shit.
So the chaos knights battleforce is it good or nah
>>98854059This is a perfect IW box.Perturabo xmas reveal for real, I can feel it.
>>98854148you complain, but it works and it keeps working.
>>98854147The hive mind is literally just a grimdark version of eusocial animals so of course they'll act like them.Consume, adapt and expand is literally what bees and ants do
>>98853810Just started an ork army with kommandos and the armaggedon ork half, is this ork battle force worth it for a new player or I better wait for something better?
>>98854095think id rather get this one given i already have a warpsmith and a defiler and don't want another
Anyone got the 11th edition codex pdf yet? Wanna read the lore in it
>>98854177battleforces are usually worth it if you want the units in teh boxdo you want them? if yes then get it
four wardogs and a knight rampager walk into a bar
>>98854147Everything must have muh motivations. Go away fag. Just accept that a faction isnt for you and pick something that is. I dont collect nids but i dont expect them to change their entire character and design to suit me and piss off the people that do collect them. Your the reason necrons are now gay trannys.
>>98854177I'd say so just cuz the battlewagon is overpriced on its own. Just don't be shocked when the deff dread gets remade and dreadmogs yours
>>98854196>Everything must have muh motivations.Yes? Sorry I expect depth and nuance to my faction.
>>98854198Most new models are shit anyways
>>98854167Yeah it worked for assfaggots too for a long time but that shit sucked and I quit playingI dont care how these companies treat their IP its fine I just do my thing
>>98854177remember the discount generally allows you to have one unit for free, so if there’s a single unit you don’t like the look of, then don’t get it. I’d say FOMO on this box is pretty low though desu.
>>98854204>BUT I DON'T LIKE HIVE MIND FACTIONS>THEN WHY DID YOU BUY IT?
>>98854219I didn't realize being a hive mind excluded having depth and motivations
Entirely wrong premise by the way. It's been hinted the the tyranids are fleeing something else and are eating a snack along the way to gain strength.And even if that's not the case since it was just hinted at, an animal simply eating food to survive literally is a motivation, it's the foundational motivation behind all life. The second one is to reproduce, which with tyranid's biology they're actually linked to each other. They make new bioforms by consuming biomass. So a creature that has it's eat instincts and its reproduce instincts intertwined it of course going to be a ravening monster.And even that isn't the whole thing, since we know the hivemind is pretty smart when it gets enough members. It makes new bioforms to counter enemy strategies, it uses strategy and misdirection and even spies and subterfuge. It's not actually "mindless", it's smart.There is literally nothing wrong or bad with nid's writing and some of you people are operating on false premise/ignorance in just saying so.
>>98854240>It's been hinted the the tyranids are fleeing something elseits literally just a reddit meme you secondary nigger
>>98854224Nta but I thought the whole thing was just consume and expandTheyre just animalsTheir primary motivation is consuming food and creating more of themselves which is essentially the same for all animals
>>98854245No the 8th edition tyranid codex hinted at it you faggotIt was just presented as a theory but thats still official published text you larper
Thanks aunty for introducing smartphone technology to my grandma. Now, she watches AI shorts on tiktok all day and breaks her phone by messing with the settings
>>98854224hive minds naturally can’t have conflict within itself which is what gives depth and motivation to a lot of characters/factions. this means their conflict must come from the outside, and then further it’s extremely hard to write motivations for why they’re at conflict with another faction because they’re meant to be a super intelligence that knows all, and doesn’t have infighting, so there’s no way you can have them be necessarily irrational about their actions or be tricked in some way, so it naturally means that the reason a hive mind wants to get into conflict with another is to expand.
>>98854258god I hope they don't go in that direction.Tyranids work best as a completely alien creature that's eaten an unknown amount of galaxiesTrying to make them "run from something bigger" or "created by the slient king" takes away everything that makes them cool
>>98854245Actually, you are wrong. Previous tyranid codecies did present that as in-universe speculation. Never, ever get a bad attitude while being wrong, it makes you look like a complete faggot. Being wrong is fine since we're all here to learn, but the second you act like a faggot while being wrong you just turn unlikable. It turns the whole thing from a simple misunderstanding to a display of a shitty personality trait.
>>98854224Yea it’s kind of a Mystery but some say they are being led by a scorned C’tan hellbent on revenge, I think that’d be pretty freakin cool.
The entire reason why tyranids are cool is because of how utterly uncaring they are. You can't plea with them, reason with them, or anything. You kill them, or they will eat you.
>>98854275>led by a scorned C’tan hellbent on revengewell, at least it wouldn’t be chaos this time.
>>98854269hey faggot how about you suck my dick nigger
>>98854280Uh oh larping tertiary meltie
last model before I have 1k army!!home stretch now
i have questions. i am primarily a fantasy and aos player. i have an extensive collection of fantasy daemons and chaos models.1: can i field my nurgle daemons with chaos space marines in 40k? or do i need to use the deathguard codex? i have some mortals i want to use for possessed of nurgle (the old fantasy blightkings kit of which i have 20)2: can i play my daemons in horus heresy? one of my friends is really into HH, and i'd like to join them but i dont want to drop cash on that game because its pretty expensive for something im not really interested in collecting (regular marines dont do anything for me. maaaaaybe i could be talked into dark mechanicum if thats a thing but i'd rather just use my daemons if i can)
>>98854147You’re gay and don’t understand it. It’s not a collective consciousness, it’s not a mind made of minds. All the bioforms we see are like white blood cells, the Tyranid is one single body spread out across space. What’s in our galaxy right now is just one little tendril of THE Tyranid, singular.We don’t need gay little talking bioforms.
>>98854280>*BBRRRAAAAAAPPPPP*ooh, looks like I made a stinky!
>Dark Angels get special terminators>Space Wolves get special terminatorsWhere's BA's special termies?
>>98854278as a tyranid player, the reason they are cool is because they look cool. thats it. stop overthinking it
>>98854164they should just make peter turbo with 3 rhinos battleforcegetting of all those chaos rhino before legending them in 11th codex
>>98854019>>98854094Thanks for your input bros. You guys ever mix colors with them or are you mostly using ready made colors? I'm used to mixing my own colors with oils usually so I'm just wondering if the speedpaint plays nice with that.
>>98854304Hell yeah dude, whats your 1000pt list look like?
>>98853100If you believe the rumors, the monogod legions are supposed to get an expansion later this edition. But then again, we're also supposed to get>Dark Mechanicum faction release>Exodite expansion (beyond the KT)>Drukhari range refresh>Daemon Primarch Perturabo>Vulcan or L*man R*ss>every other faction with 20+ year old models throwing shit at the wall, saying "I FEEL IT COMING" and hoping it sticksThey can't all be true.

>>98854304fuck yeah
Stop fucking saying Drukhari. You sound like an insane person babbling gibberish
>>98854366>pactboundanon i know you're running WB but i wouldn't bother with their dedicated detachment, it was nerfed so hard that it's barely playable now. it used to be S tier for CSM because you used to get the 5+ crit whether you rolled your pact or not, but now you have to roll the pact to get their detachment bonus, and that's really a long shot.pactbound has something like 20% win rate at the moment
>>98853810Damn dude I kinda like all of these. They all have models or units I dont have and was thinking of getting. Even though I hate space wolves that seems like a deal too good to pass too. My only gripe is that I already have a nekronsor, but I did hold off on buying the nightbringer cause I knew he'd be in the christmas box.Oh except blood angels that shit's dogshit what the fuck did they do to the poor boys jesus christ.
>>98854388but dont you want to roll dark pact like everytime?

>>98854323>Space Wolves get special terminators>Just regular termies without helmets + long hair / beardsWhoa...
>FIRSTBORN being sold in 2026wawaweewa
>>98854393I think what he meant to say is you have to pass the dark pact test to get the bonus 5+ Crit. So you'll only really benefit from the detachment rule 50% of the time. But it's a super simple detachment for a beginner to use so I say stick with it. The Eye of the Gods Strat is super cool and if you get lucky you can have a completely roided out lord by the end of the game.
>>98854330most of them play nice. I like using Satchel Brown with Dusk Red for leather. Purple and blue also mix well if you want darker shadows. Black doesn't mix as well with the others I've found. Black makes it really uneven when mixed. The whites don't mix well either.
>>98854429Man blood angels are just too cool

>>98854429This is a terrible joke
>>98854429another common blood angel W
>>98854224Why do the faggots who say shit like this never consider that the hive mind being a mysterious malevolent force of destruction without the gay daddy issue drama of the other factions is something that appeals to Tyranid fans.
>>98853810>the pack in a battleforceDecalCHADS keep winning
>>98853810Other than Necrons these are all terrible.And I swear to God, since I came back to 40k around the tail end of 9th, CSM had at least 10 battleforces lmao.

>>98854095>>98854059I am so fucking tired of the venomcrawler being stuck with the toebliterators. I like spiders, not fat ugly ogres. Fucking split them up and make them into two multi build kits already.
>>98854431Nice, thanks. I think Ill just end up getting a selection of the colors I need now.
Occasional reminder that there actual schizophrenics on this Internet site. Sometimes the only winning move is not to play.
>>98854393>but dont you want to roll dark pact like >everytime?That's what the old version of pactbound used to dotake a few mortal wounds sometimes and always get the fat pactbut in reality outside of that you only roll dark pacts in a few fringe scenarios when it's not on units that get an extra buff out of it (btw, helbrute goes great with pactbound) or can reroll them ("chaos icon") t. missed all my dark pacts during a game once, losing my land raider to it, so now i very rarely roll them
>>98854555Just sell what you don't use
Store accidentally sent me 2 boxes of new aquilons instead of 1. Neat.
>3 or 4 newcommers to the lgs>all on custodes with new CPatrolit's all so tiresome, on one hand no one forces me to play them but on the other I'd like more than glorified paperweights.Side tangent I'm coming to a depressed realization that I should just stop doing hobbying as anything I approach to playable/finished state makes everyone suddenly drop it or be impossible to schedule
>>98854632GW does it on purpose, can't blame them
>>98854635maybe but for our small town lgs getting 4 newcommers is news-worthy as usually we maybe get 2 per year that quickly drop. And these niggas came in with the models already painted clean spending their weekends on it so step above an impulse retard
>>98854659Who/what are you even talking about? We have no Schizos here just a few shit stirring degenerates with poor painting skills.
I love this lil speeder, very fun model.
>>98853811Wtf happened to Blood Angels? They used to actually get cool stuff, now they’re sigmar ripoffs that don’t even get properly discounted.
>>98854669You did a nice job fren
No custodes box has me shook. I guess its too soon for them but damn I was really expecting.
>>98854678prepare to get reabsorbed into main space marine line and join the iron chuds and scalies>>98854694they'll shove one into the heresy just to keep up #yearofcustodes
>>98854678Turns out they don't need to make anything better as every BA player I've come across has at least 12 of the sang guard models. That combat patrol has done numbers.
>>98854694I think you've had more than enough lately.
>>98854694there are HH boxes coming up, so maybe. But they just had 2 battleforces in the last 12 months with the new models.
>>98854694Would they really sell a 2k point box like that?

>>98854075is that not a new megawarboss kit?
>>98853878Tbh for me, new ork pleb that only has the armageddon boxthis is quite good.
>>98854713The fact that GW had to put 6 new sang guards in the BA CP is genuinely baffle me. Like they knew they fucked up so they just went full damage control on that shit.
I'm going to pre-order the chaos knight box just so there are less of it around

>>98854793HERESY? HH is getting boxes? Holy crap.Any chance Solar Auxillia is getting one? Since there isn't a Guard box for 40k./
My LGS and many others STILL have their old chirstmas and launch boxes for several different factions.Is there any actual source on if or where these boxes sell? You used to get a decent deal for a psycologically convenient number (£80 - £100) etc.Now, the boxes cost around £120-£160 depending on the box and usually involve kits that you do not want.
>>98854768Most chapters probably have enough to equip most of their 1st company. That's like 100 suits per chapter. If we go by the old 1000 chapters, that's 100,000 suits of armour. So 1 suit per 10 Imperial worlds. Having a couple of squads at any one location doesn't make them super common.
>>98854817i want the Crusher Stampede
>>98854827Apparently, most non-first founding chapters have 10-20, 30 at best. First founding have a ton, hundreds. DA probably have a thousand.
>>98854147They kill to eat. Eat big to grow big.
>>98854147What's wrong with om nom nom? I think it's a pretty good motive.
>>98854768sometime It make me want to get 30 terminators myself for peak 42k 30v30 Termie slapfight
>>98854768Your on-table game experience is not supposed to be lore accurate, it is supposed to be a gameAnd other lies you tell yourself before GW says they're making marines even stronger citing "lore accuracy" as the reason for the change while not keeping consistent on that principle.
>>98854874You used to have a rule that could represent chapters that didn't have big reserves of rare armour/vehicles, mainly that you could only take one of each at max.
>>98854851>non-first founding chapters have 10-20, 30So IH have them in single digits then, considering they're so down on them they rarely even field terminator squads?>First founding have a ton, hundredsThose would've been redistributed in the 2nd founding to successors. Not to forget all the subsequent foundings where materiel from the parent chapter was given to a successor.
>>98854874i still wonder how to justify Swarmlord vs Swarmlord
Ok so when you guys say not to use topping lists as a guide for armies because GW will nerf them several times over, you guys are being hyperbolic for the sake of comedy, right?
>Terminator Assault Squad (Shields & Hammers)>Led by Librarian>Supported by AncientWould this be a cancer brick of no? Haven't played 11th yet.
>>98854901The Blood Angels once canonically fielded 80+ in a single deployment. Macragge 1st Company last stand had more than 30. And of course, the Deathwing exist.No idea how many Wolf Guard termie suits exist though.

>>98854768good thing I can just d-scythe all those nerds from behind a wall of wraithblades.
>>98854914It's okay
>>98854921I'd laugh so hard if the BA one is at 250$. It's even worse than their current CP
>>98854768rare in the sense that in an army of 1000 people only 20-30 people should have them yeah Dark Angel's Deathwing obviously would be an exception since its just Dark Angels shenanigans, same with Imperial fists
>>98854713Waac nonsense at its finest. Rules are the greatest marketing tool GW keeps around, and it disappointingly works every time.
>>98854899Aspire To Glory in the 4e Major Drawback category. Meant to represent a newly founded chapter with limited relics in their arsenal, as they have not yet been able to acquire more. Dreadnoughts, veterans and terminators became a 0-1 choice, could not take terminator armour as wargear, no terminator assault squads nor terminator command squads, and no access to relics from the wargear list.
>>98854905>Fighting over dibs on the planet.
imagine if instead of more ugly named characters tau got a new vehicle (NOT A FUCKING MECH)
>>98854945Too bad, you will get new suits and you will like i t.
>>98854941Thanks for looking it up anon I don't have my codex with me at the moment. I like that stuff because it paints a picture that's less a board game and more of a simulation, at least in its own little way.
>both plastic ethereals look like liquid shit and are clearly the first project of some new sculptor>one of them is a fucking event minithis blows
>>98854914A slow, very expensive unit with no guns isn't that cancerous. Annoying to shift off a single objective, sure, but it's unlikely to win a game on its own. I'd be more annoyed to see normal terminators desu.
>think custodes kinda look like shit>see some painted black with gold accents instead of tacky gold on gold on gold>WAIT.jpg
I'm having a bit of trouble using meganobz and Ghazgkull. Ghaz is a beast that deletes anything he touched but I can't keep him alive. He'll turn a defilee into minced meat and then get butchered by the opponent the following turn. The meganobz I give the telyporta upgrade but they always seem to arrive too late to do anything and rapid ingress isn't any help if I go first since they'll just won't be charging until turn 4.
>>98854941>0-1 choiceThey really should bring this back. Would do wonders for balance and list building.
>>98854982Are you me? I grabbed a box to try black and gold with teal robes. If I like it I might get full into custodes
Would a bunch of tac marines with Neo-Vulkite guns be acceptable to use as Sternguard Vets?
Fixed the CSM battleforce box
>>98854982Even GW occasionally remember that the Shadowkeepers exist, but reminding people of that might hurt the army's reputation as the one that a beginner painter can finish in an afternoon with a rattlecan.
>>98854982I wonder how much the avoidance of black+gold custodes is a clueless GW suit (the types who asked why people weren't buying 10 Guillimans and playing that as a unit) who thinks they'd be confused with black legion CSM
>>98855019GW boxes used to be good.
>>98855019>sons of dorn but epic
With the terminator and custodes meta beginning should I start running two Gladiator Reapers instead of a Lancer and Impulsor taxi? That gatling cannon seems nasty rerolling for dev wounds.
>>98855012as long as the base sizes are correct they're official gw marine models so no one will care
>>98855034>10 Leman RussHey that's like 83% of my current army list
>>98855034Mien gott imagine getting your hands on a box like that in 2k26
>>98855039>custodes meta5+++ against devs, idk
>>98855045>in 2k26With current GW you're lucky to get 10 Russes for the price of 9.
>>98855042So you wouldn't have any issue with intercessors as vanguard veterans and heavy intercessors as all the characters?
>>98854964>Annoying to shift off a single objective, sure, but it's unlikely to win a game on its own. I'd be more annoyed to see normal terminators desu.That's kinda what I was thinking, just a big boss block to hold the center and maybe shift if needed. They'd be the only Terminator unit I'd run anyways.
>>98855086As long as you clearly identify what is what before the game begins I don't care. I will lose respect for someone not making their veterans look fancy, but the rules change so often it's not worth fussing over aesthetic differences that don't effect the game. A lot of my army is kitbashed and repurposed marine bodies anyway.
>>98855093Maybe it's a difference between mindsets, but I like minis to clearly represent what they are. Some substitutions are fine, like swapping what special weapons your squad has or subbing in assault marines with jump packs for vanvets. But using guys with guns for melee dudes, or non-jump-pack dudes for jump-pack dudes is a big stretch for me.
>>98855034>Yep, 106 marines, 8 rhinos and a razoback, now that's a proper deal
>>98854921>$250Anon… due to price hikes, the price will be $265-270
>>98855146Rookie numbers.
>>98854555Honestly insane that new Mutilators aren't also dual kit with new version of Obliterators. What a missed opportunity to start fixing this
>>98855046having done some maths getting lucky on higher damage shooting feels more reliable. even fully-supported (ironstorn w/ gunnery honours, incursor scan, ignores cover from something) the gatling cannon is just over 5 devs on average plus a couple of normal wounds. you could expect similar damage from an 85 point las fusil eliminator squad with less outside help.
>>98855190>getting lucky feels more reliableThis is a huge problem if GW seriously wants things to be "fair"
>those battleforcesWhy is it always marine spam?
OI SPACE MUHRINE
>>98855237Isn't there usually a Tau one? A shadowsun/stealth team/pathfinder box would be dope if they would every make more goddamn stealth suits.
>>98855197Forcing 2-3 50:50 saves for D3+3 damage each just works out a lot better when Forge World's OP Mary Sue faction get 5+ saves against mortals. 1 damage dev wounds aren't worth fishing for. Hellblasters are probably the "more reliable" option with 15 shots of D2 overcharged plasma.
Why is everyone complaining about the blood angels Christmas box? It looks decent to me.

>>98855264No one needs 10 intercessors, anon.
>>98855258>>98855237why do we just never get eldar?
>>98855260I don't care about the math.It should never be the case that you're hoping the dice are in your favor to kill *battleline infantry*, especially with units specifically meant to kill battleline infantry. Custodes as a whole just need to go if this continues, as-is they're too much in every direction that indicates bad and un-fun game design.The point of the game SHOULD be to engage with the enemy, not to run away from him while making sure your "run away" path includes the magic circles you need to get enough points to win. Play-fighting in the wargame should be the goal.That is my point.
I was promised a Dark Eldar refresh 3000 years ago.
>>98855295You literally just had 11 years ago stop complaining.
>>98855293 (me)>hoping the dice are in your favorBy this, I mean the "getting lucky on higher damage shooting" point, not in general; it's obvious that you want the dice to be slightly "in your favor" for all rolls. My point was the degree of how much that favor goes.
>>98855269Bait or mental retardation
>>98855269then who the fuck was this?
>>98855293My cope is that current custodes are an experiment to see how customers might respond to actually-elite space marines in the next edition. Would smaller armies of their best-selling faction destroy the company, or does it actually move a lot more plastic to the kids/poors who can't otherwise afford 2k points right now.
>>98855323It would certainly cause a lot of us who don't play marines to consider other games entirely, which would absolutely hurt their bottom line.Not "destroy the company" bad, but enough that they'd inevitably walk it back a bit to try and keep some of the non-marine players on the metaphorical plantation until the next big thing.
>>98855323I think custodes are fine right now but I wouldn't like marines to be like current custodes.
>>98854151Yep, that's genuinely all Knights have
>>98854987Any ork chads that could help?
>>98854147>insatiable appetite>exist only to eatPretty relatable tbqhwyf
>>98854355>drukhari range refreshYou mean that one guy who has been posting "I can feel it" for like 5 years will finally be right? I doubt it
>>98855379That just seems to be the universal ghaz experience.
Interested in Tyranids, recommended box to get a sample of them before I commit?I'm not sure how I'd feel about painting a million gaunts, but it could be fun
>>98855390So it's not just me? I play against WE a lot and Angron feels completely different.
Anyone else love generating tons of CP
>>98855424Uhhhhhhhh

>>98854987Just don’t walk him up with a unit slower than him. Have him start next to some infantry in your deployment zone, then advance him up to some infiltrating infantry or some infantry that moved forward in a transport and hopped out, and then drop a weirdboy supported Boyz unit in turn two for him to move up to and get ready to charge.
>>98855543nah nigga. i kno sum yall r sum fake ass niggas
>>98855546> Boyz unit in turn two for him to move up to and get ready to chargeMeaning? I don't have any issues with getting Ghaz to the enemy, he just doesn't live to the next turn.
>>98855567Oh I thought your problem was him getting blown up before getting in. Not much you can do about that, either keep him out of line of sight if you just want a 300pt buff bot, or use him to fight.
>>98854987>able to wipe out a massive walker single handedly and then have the opponent waste their shit killing himthey’re both around the same points wise, but this seems like a good trade desu.
If you could take one human army from another setting and turn it into a IG regiment which one would you pick?
>>98855621Issue that game is my opponent had both a defiler and Angron, so I killed the defiler and then Angron killed Ghaz... and I had nothing that could take Angron so he just did whatever he wanted the whole game.
>>98855543Ty
>>98854982Quite recently there's also been different 30k palettes of the Templii showed off, and two of them are black with gold trim. Just the choice of panel infill and cloth is different, with white or purple.

>>98855639Is the Rapeman a human army?
>>98855639The Grand Army of the Republic. A bio-industrialized army of vat grown clones wouldn't be out of place in 40k, and it would prompt a discussion over how far the Imperium is willing to reach for straws when it comes to preserving the divine purity of the human gene-form. Or what the Imperium even considers as perversions of the human form.
>>98855703You did not explicitly say a loser, therefore I am disinterested in becoming one.
>>98855639Is this a faction?
>>98855722>bio-industrialized army of vat grownThis is Krieg>clonesThis is the part that varies from Krieg.

>>98855715Borderlands 2 is the shit. What’s your favorite class?
>>98855639Zanscare Empire. They're insane enough for 40k.
>>98855639The Redfields. If you survive them, they see you as worthy to kidnap and force you to fuck their sisters. They don't care if you're a xenos, robot, if you're sterile. You're fathering children right now.

How come there aren't any modern versions of eldar lasguns? They're supposed to have the best lasers of all the factions, but they're all heavy weapons, besides lasblasters and ranger rifles.The exodite KT should have gotten some, they feel like a lasgun type of people.

I wish I could be the type of guy that can just pick one favorite faction but I'm just not
>>98855954I have one favourite army but second place is shared by like 10 different armies so I can never decide on a second army
>>98855639We can rebuild them. We have the technology. We can make them better than they were. Better, stronger, faster.
>>98855954I played one army for fifteen years and it constantly killed my mood for the game during editions where we just weren't very good or didn't get support until way too late to matter. Having a second army to pivot to just helps smooth out the road bumps and makes you far less impatient during the low periods of each faction. And they all do have low periods.
>>98854059>Got last year's CSM box already>Plus the Iron Warriors Combat Patrol>Plus a 9th edition Combat Patrol>Plus Kravek Morne & a squad of MutilatorsShould I even bother with this box? The only model I don't already have is the Defiler but if I did I'd have a solid list for Warpstrike Champions shenanigans ready to go.
>>98855639Speaking of VNs, is it okay to choose a faction of highly rapeable humans implying I have full intent to rape them? Even if they're just minis. If so then I would choose the LDO so I can rape Reinhard and all the others except Spinne. He's too strong and makes up 99.99999999999999999999999% of their strength.
>>98855954Unironically play KT then

>>98855935I can't decide thoughI tried Necrons and they were alright but they felt samey and were kind of boring to paintI get too overwhelmed painting every single armour line and detail on CSMKnights are cool but the line has no rangeI want a faction that's fun to paint, while also allowing me to be interesting with it instead of making 100 guys arr look sameAny recs?
>>98853186GSC are a bitch to paint armies so they're not super popular. I think they should be rolled into Nids desu with detachment options for monoGSC armies
>>98856372If you base coat your CSM in the trim color, you can just fill in the armor panels with the main color and then have plenty of mental energy left for the skulls and flayed skin and hazard stripes and shit.If you don't want to paint 100 guys that all look the same, you definitely don't want Tyranids; setting aside the chaff that's literally 10 packs of the same model, the main visual interest anywhere in the model range is the various horse cock guns, other than that it's wall to wall three colors and a base.

>>98856447Sorry lil tourist, but we came first. 20 primadonnas arguing over who gets to fuck space daddy first is a mere footnote in our cherished setting.
>>98856455I feel like it'd be easier than say painting up 20 guardsmen, but I get your point. I feel like most people would be spending way more time on their cool models than chaff anyways though, or am I wrong? With an army like custodes where you now have maybe 10-15 bodies then yeah it becomes a lot easier to justify spending time on each dude.
>>98856458>slaps your boyfriend’s ass
>>98856456>The DetectiveWho's that? What is a naarmgroid?Why am I even asking this instead of talking about hobby?What's a cool color scheme for a guard regiment?
>>98856458>is a mere footnoteXenofag, plz
>>98856214I kinda feel that doing the backline commander idea from the GoT wargame would be good for 40k, as there a bunch of characters or roles that make no sense to be on the front line, but would still be cool to paint..
>>98856465Typically, yes, the cooler guys get more time and effort spent on them than grunts, but usually that takes the form of the model itself having more tchotchkes on it, or bothering with edge highlighting, or maybe a bit of kitbashing as a treat, but even doing an 80% "good enough" version of that guy's paintjob on the horde end of the army is going to take an unreasonable amount of time and an airbrush—look at the depth of color, the gradients, the cantaloupe-y veins everywhere
>>98856469>cucks entire Eldar range into irrelevancy
>>98856455Let's see Paul Allens carnifex
>>98856398Well shit, what the hell faction do I get thenI'm leaning towards Necrons but then try to do more advanced techniques
>>98856513Orks have lots of visual interest and kitbashing potential, and if your painting is a little sloppy it's not necessarily a problem since that checkerboard pattern was painted by an ork
>>98856363hes just a lil guy
my issue is that it feels like a lot of the playerbase won't think outside the box without GW saying they can>must build models as per the instructions, no kitbashing>must play the game as how the card packs say so, no homebrew missions etc
>>98856518>if your painting is a little sloppy it's not necessarily a problem since that checkerboard pattern was painted by an orkthis is (one of many reasons) I like orks so much. makes me feel like me and the boyz are hand in hand painting their little bits of armor and vehicles with me out of universe, and then they’re painting them in universe.
>>98856469>has all his 40K impacts retconned>most notable achievements in 40K include getting so outplayed by a crippled Badab War veteran his flagship got hijacked and delegating actual competency to a vidya protagonist LolLmao, even
>>98856541I can't into greenstuffI don't know what's wrong with me, but it always turns out looking awful. I don't know how people are so good with greenstuff.
>>98856553don't worry about greenstuff, kitbashing is where the fun is at
>>98856553Use Tamiya epoxy putty quick type, let it cure for a couple minutes so it's not as sticky, use silicone sculpting tools and wet them frequently.After that it's just practice.
>>98856553Don't worry about it. >>98856561 is right.I had a lot of fun making this guy.
I didn't fix a slightly bent base before gluing the model and terrain on, and now it wobbles. Reckon I'm going to have to use putty to lengthen the base rim on the raised bits. Might be a pain to do but I don't see another way around it, it's too late to heat and unbend it.
armageddon librarian - very fun model
>>98856624Very nice, one of your better looking models for sure.
>>98856624Not having the cherub kills the aura of the basic librarian
>>98856624CLEAN YOUR GOD DAMN GLOVES
>>98856632yeah only noticed that after I posted the picture. same with the yellow hose that needs some touching up. will do soon.>>98856625thanks anon
>>98856424Anything can have visual interest if you manually put it there. A pack of basic bitch intercessors could be glorious if you painted them as Angels Resplendent with iridescent blue armor and freehanded per-model pieces of fine art on their right pauldrons—this guy's got the Mona Lisa, that guy's got The Oath of the Horatii, etc.—but that's in spite of the models and entirely on you.
Tau suck and are fags
>>98856313>Hamplanet Hambly>doing ANYTHING creativeThis poop-pants cuckold can't even open the packaging RC car without making a mess. He'd literally die if he had to assemble a citadel mini once in his life.
>>98856597Sandpaper?
>>98856683Tau blow (holes in dreadnoughts older than their entire civilization from beyond visual range) and have queerplatonic partnerships as their main form of serious pair bonding, so you're half right, I guess
Wtf is this thing doing in here?
>>98856553How many hours have you been at it?prob need a good 10+ just to be comfortable with it
>>98856697>no no no, you don't understand, we're morally superior *spills blood for the blood god*uh-huh
>>98856683Yeah. Boring gay alien faction that feels way too human. I let it slide though given it’s a 2000s creation
>>98856695Interesting thought, thanks. Might be hard to recover from that if I fuck it up, though.
>>98856585damn that's tight
>>98856721>>no no no, you don't understand, we're morally superior *spills blood for the blood god*
>>98856723Take a sheet of 150ish grit sand paper, secure it down on a hard, flat surface (like a granite countertop or a porcelain tile or a piece of glass) and then place your base down on that and begin sanding taking care to keep the base flat to the surface as best you can.
>>98856733
>>98853810>>98853816>Hadn't bought defiler yet>Hadn't bought a venomcrawler yetHonestly assuming they're all priced the same either this or >>98853816 might be nice.I wish Chaos Knights were better beyond dogspam right now though.
>>98856738Helpful stuff, cheers.
>>98856683Nah they’re just a weak and a tertiary faction that means nothing to the setting and is zero threat to the universe at large. Fun stuff for people who like to pretend to be important.
>>98856721>>98856722The fact that they're a colonialist empire segregated along racial lines among themselves—including a literal master race whose word is so unquestionable the language itself doesn't support giving them lip—and who are taking up the blue man's burden spreading their ideology at railgun-point to every new-caught sullen species they can lay hooves on and will send you to a reeducation camp if you step slightly out of line, and half the fanbase has media literacied themselves into thinking "oh, these are the 'good guys'" is fantastic, actually
>>98856701well they have to get rid of as many of him as possible before the blood angels release this edition.
>>98856824Jumppack dreadnought with Dante upgrade sprue soon, I can feel it
Can you play Chaos Knights with chaos factions?
>>98856839Obviously you idiot
>>98856839Not having a soup rule comparable to the one regular Knights have would be classic GW, but no, you can take spiky Knights and wardogs with your Death Guard or Night Lords or whoever.
>>98856839Yeah. I usually take a knight desecrator with my CSM as a substitute for a defiler.
Do you think GW will ever pull the trigger on Dante-nought or is it too much of a meme at this point to be official?
>>98856880I’m a bit of a newfag but I say yes they’ve got it I the chamber and ready to fire, he’s a popular character they they’ll never let die and for good reason.
>>98856880Dante getting properly killed and finding out the specifics of his retirement plan the hard way is hilarious once, but him saved by plot contrivance a heartbeat away from his well-earned eternal rest can be done over and over again.
Collage entry is not 100% done, but I may be leaving for two weeks so final progress report until further notice o7Not super happy with the plasma, but it will do for now.
>>98855039I had the exact same thought, but when I ran a reaper shooting at a squad of termies and custodes through some math it was just ok. Same with the leman russ punisher. The upside is that it's also good against boyz mobs and some other random things so I do think it's ok to take as long as you're not falling below a certain anti-tank threshold. Like if the Lancer you're replacing mattered then don't.I ended up with this at the end of the day instead, which has a Valiant instead of the Reaper. I tend to err on the side of lots of anti-tank so some Knights player or whatever doesn't get a free win, and I will try leaning on 10 Hellblasters with Sustained 1 when I see termies/custodes. https://www.newrecruit.eu/app/list/m5CgfThe speeder that removes cover and the repulsor that lets them get out and benefit from Rapid Fire and Sustained 1 yet being safe from charges are some other key things. I like this list.
>>98856903Did the Space Wolves rape you In game lately? What gives?
>>98856832I mean the midget
>>98856903Georg Wulfson died of a mjod overdose—brother Chauvinio's poleyn is on his pauldron, not his gorget, in full accordance with the Codex Astartes
>>98856922That's not how that works, anon.
>>98856922Wearing the Spade implies that you're the receiving partner.
>>98856932anag so it still works
>>98856926The medicae's autopsy found a lethal dose of combat-fentanyl, among other* things, in Wolf Brother Georg's bloodstream. I was going to scan & scale down some decal sheets to scatter on the base, hopefully I get some more time :)
>>98855954I only play one faction because I can't afford anything else right now for being a NEET for so long.
>>98856977I'm a neet and have five playable armies. Just get family money retard.
Why are Knights so cool in concept but so fucking lame in GW's execution?
>>98856987Because superheavy in general very lame for such game format.
>>98856987Wrong scale for it to make any sense as a game. Treating them like creatures instead of machines.
>>98856984But do you collect Genestealer Cults like I do? I need to find a job by the new year, I'm not feeling too well bros.
>>98856987Lopsided, armour heavy roster. Needs more house troops to play better, but then your knights faction ends up as an IG in cosplay faction.
>>98853011>Titan edition >"B-brother please, awoo with m-ACK!"Gonna add some cool plasma and gore effects to make it also spooky for this month's collage
>>98856999>yiff in 7 hells, furfag
>>988569871. A lot of the stuff that makes them interesting only exists in fluff, and there's barely any worthwhile fluff; it's just Assassinorum Kingmaker, the codex, and a couple of other novels that IK fans will try to convince you are good, and Chaos Knights literally only have their codex—even LoV novelmog them2. On the crunch side, they're functionally super-duper-heavy tanks that could only ever reasonably work in a combined arms doctrine, and them being their own army demands that they be balanced around you mainly running models from your army and not Guard or Agents or whatever, which is about as fucked as trying to balance Guard around making an Oops All Baneblade Chassis list viable3. On the MtG psychographics side, Knights is a very Timmy army, but a lot of other armies don't really have anything comparable for Knight players to play Pacific Rim 3: The Return of Christ against for the maximum Timmy experience, and they only have a handful of datasheets that all correspond to different builds of the same couple of kits so the list building aspect is rough for Johnny, and they're very swingy competitively, so Spike either cares or doesn't.
>>98856987I like them :(Well chaos knights not boring imperial
I'm going to bake a slightly early bread since we are on page 8 and 10 images away from limit
Do I have to buy a codex for each if I'm mixing units?
