Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98869684>TQHard to say. The nostalgia tinted praise that those who fondly remember it does muddy the waters of it being allegedly the best edition.I would love to know if there is a Chinese Warhammer 40k recaster who does recasting but prints of the books. Even the ForgeWorld era books.
>>98869684>TQdo you mean best with rules, fluff or models?
>>98869692>OP hereI mean rules, fluff and models so yes all of those. I do find the nostalgia tinted praise a bit worrying as I think my expectations are raised too high.
KINDKOLOSSALKUSTODESKNOCKERS
>>98869691wasn't 4th ed the era of finecast?
>>98869711I’ve never understood the first part reading “Kind”. Their Knockers are Kind? What’s the deal?
>>98869717Yeah it was I think.Finecast may have been a GW psyop to ruin the reputation of resin miniatures in the hobby. The scars are still there. The source came out of my maggot ridden asshole
What color is Tyranid blood usually? I’ve stripped and replaced the Iron Halo on my Leviathan Captain, but I did like having the Nid on the base leaking blood, but I picked a green cause I was a lot more new at the time and figured they were aliens.
>>98869711if only gw hired gooner artist to design femstodes if the higher ups from tel-aviv had mossad kill team watching them
>>98869690>>98869711Kill yourselves
>>98869723blood color depends on the hive fleet
>>98869723Red so it matches the other races and fits the blood god baloney I think
>>98869722I’ve overheard in GW stores that they got rid of plastic bags for environment reasons, I’d wager there’s an environmental reasoning behind the move away.
any good jewtubers to listen while assembling and painting models?
4th love has been astroturfed on here so much the last few weeks I'm just waiting for the grift. Who's launching a kickstarter?
>>98869717I remember it starting in 5th, but I have a shit memory.
>>98869742i'm asking because i'm not sure
>>98869717end of 5th start of 6th is when they introduced finecast
>>98869711Why not "Caring, Colossal, Custodes Cleavage?" Those abs beg to have my face planted on them and then worshipped.
>>98869740Its the same raging fag with his unbased necrons
>>98869749i wish gw would hire gooner artists to design new range of muscle girl models
Reminder Starcraft WON, Trench Crusade WON, Space King WON, 40k LOST HARD
>>98869762starcraft has always been a faggy coppy of 40k made by hacks who peaked in 2003. trench crusade is half baked shitshowSPACEKING IS NOT A WARGAME YOU RETARDED DIPSHIT
I like orks LE ECKS DEE XDXD
>>98869760You mean gooner STL sculptors? They could probably make some proper female face sculpts for GW that even their contractually obligated to paint in 'eavy metal style painters couldn't mess up.Your pic shows you have good taste in women and I wonder why GW hasn't done Japanese exclusive versions of the codex that include grimdark gritty anime style art.
>>98869778>Your pic shows you have good taste in women and I wonder why GW hasn't done Japanese exclusive versions of the codex that include grimdark gritty anime style art.funny you mentioned it because mike pondsmith made something like that for cyberpunk 2022
>27 posts in>0 models posted grim
>>98869786i can post my modelcel models
>>98869786Dark even.
>>98869786
>>98869723typically in images or vidya or animations it's a sort of greenish pus yellow colour, like a bug's gutsbut it's really the colour you want it to be because they're fucking tyranids, come up with a reason they bleed x colour
>>98869684>TQIt really depends on what you like. 4e was a reset/toning down edition - that is, by the end of 3e a lot of armies had huge armouries with so many options that GW decided to strip things down and go back to basics. This cycle has repeated a few times over the lifespan of the game, with us being in another such reset stage currently. It does streamline the game and make it more kid- and newbie-friendly. But a lot of players love having heaps of options and crunching out tailored army lists, myself included. 4e played decent but nothing really felt that special or unique. At the time I was an eldar player and my most frequent opponent played CSM - we both bemoaned our huge array of wargear being taken from us and special characters being cut.
>>98869802if those knights are yours i am BEGGING you to wash and drybrush that base
>>98869717It was 5th. I was there. 5th was such a bad experience, price increases, grey knights, dark eldar, imperial guard and necrons being beyond broken, specifically knights, imperial guard being able to make the most ridiculous lists that didn't even fit the deployment zone. The ruleset being trash full of exploitable holes, and the creative death of white dwarf. Yes 4th was the golden era, make kitbashes, use any kind of terrain, play imperial armour campaigns, use the urban suplement or the jungle rules, make your own vehicles or monsters, flank vehicles to access the rear armour, scatter artillery, use flamethrower templates as god intended to aboid ugly blobs of models on the table. 4th edition fucking rules.
>>98869794>4k points of useless infantry>no heavy supporti know this feeli know this feel
>>98869827oh i do have a heavy support. it's just on the other shelf
>>98869816This was only true for chaos, everyone kept using the 3rd ed book and ignored the new one. 4th had some books that changed early to the 5th ed style, those books were way worse than the early ones like nids, tau and marines which are fantastic.
>>98869825Tyranids really got the shaft in 5th, I didn't play them but I felt for them. Cruddace made a mess of them that took years and multiple editions to clean up.
We /fakegrog/ now
>>98869850Agree, the only decent part were the characters which worked well if ported back to 4th to increase variety. Carnifex were nerfed to the ground, and split in to a thousand different monsters that did not have a model, customization died, and the balance was trash.
>>98869851Enjoy, maybe you learn something, before you go back to you usual must consuum cycle.
>"Form ranks, draw blades and stand fast my brothers -- we shall show these traitorous degenerates the meaning of vengeance this day." -Sergeant Pythas, Iron Snakes 6th Company.
>>98869876Not a marine player and haven't bought anything 40k related in months and I also played during 3rd / 4th, nice try though
>>98869827here you have heavy support
>>98869684>Is 4th edition really the best edition and does it live up to the nostalgia tinted praise it gets?Nah every edition of 40k sucks in someway. Some suck so much that they introduce a problem to the game that has never been fixed due to a marketing gimmick.Looking at you 5th with your stupid true line of sight4th works best when you are using the 4th edition rulebook and 3rd edition army rules.Actual best edition is a abomination of 4th with things added from all editions and using coble together codex rules to fit your groups interest
>>98869879How is it possible, how can primaritards be such tasteless retards.
>>98869827and WIP
>>988697175th like everything bad in 40k. It started around 5th.
>>98869888I always wanted one of thoseat a guess, a piece of GW tat?
>>98869902you could get army painter one
What’s your favourite or best painted model from your collection?
>>98869902I have it and it is the most useless laser pointer to check true line of sight.Even in modern L shape meme terrain it is a bitch to use due to how big it is. The hook part usually got snag into the terrain that was used back in 5th, you know actual terrain.It must be up there with the stupidest gimmick GW has made
>>98869723> Hive Fleet code name "Gewner" arrive over planet "Tig Bittay V"> Advanced intelligence from Lictor scouts gives the atmosphere an atmosphere with X% Oxygen Y% Nitrogen Z% Methane > For this atmosphere the hive mind knows this particular formulation of blood is most efficient for organism function> Blood is color X due to the chemical and cellular compositionThere you go, a justification for whatever color blood you think is coolest.
>>98869822Yeah I know it was a rush to get something on the base for the game
>>98869778NGL some of the Gooner sculptors have put out some really good models that I wouldn't be ashamed of putting on the table...mostly. Someone sculpted the big tiddy Lictor meme and its funny as fuck while being too good for what it is.
>>98869964Not those anons, but I usually just get my women models from some random eastern europe guy or deal with the nightmare that is buying shit from asia.
>>98869964Shout out to this anon's Matriarch, which is the said coomer neurolictor model with the arms from the Patriarch. The best GSC models in the thread hands down, I wish mine were 1/10 as good as his.
>>98869986I love this kind of dumb models.
Anyone building a custodes army now that the codex is out?
>>98869990yeah, since 2021. I'm really close to 2k points.
>>98869762Warmahordes, Crisis Protocol and X-wing were far closer to killing Warhammer and all of them shat the bed. I wouldn't bet against GW this time neither.
>>98869989I'll build an aberrant with a pumpkin head tomorrow for the collage, it'll be silly and other than the October I don't think it'll fit in but who cares am I right.
>>98870001GW feels like the Steam meme about other companies shooting themself in the face with a shotgun.But in this case GW mostly shooting itself in the foot while the competition are driving a sports care and decide that it would a great idea to drive into traffic at mach fuck
>>98869690>Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98869990already have almost 3k and just waiting for telemon to arrive to have options, how im considering chaos knights
>>98869902it's a weak pen laser with an ear hook for no clear reason that's not capable of holding the heavy battery and laser upat least say you want the skull tape measure or something
>>98870067You're a fucking loser.
>>98870111uh oh, ritualposter melty.
>>98870111Not nearly as big a loser as the chaos idol ritual posters
I have a neat idea or a marine captain kitbash to pose him up all cool, but I really don't wanna go through buying all the bits I need of ebay for it to look worse in execution than what's in my head.
Any suggestions on colour scheme for Shadowsun, tossing up between classic white like her box art, or the maroon to fit in with the rest of the army.>>98870111Pretty sure naarmposter has posted models, so he gets a pass.
>>98870171MANY SUCH CASES!
>>98870171What do you have in mind and what bits are you after, you'd be surprised the bits people are willing to share from the bits boxes if you've got a good local community.Also if you do eventually do the kit bash remember to trust the process and wait to judge until it's at least primed, a bit of uniformity goes along way to make your brain stop being so self critical.
>>98870173So has the mutant, but I'll still get annoyed at them both.
>>98870202Don’t associate him with ritual posters, he’s got models and plays games and that puts him head and shoulders above them.
>>98870173So has ratfag
>>98870202True, but the mutant is in a league of his own.>>98870221Anon...
Really enjoyed doing this shield
>>98870220>he’sYet more evidence ratfag hate is fabricated by the pedo
>>98870220yeah, but they aren't permanently banned, so that means they're officially welcome to post here unlike him.
>>98870229Not enough to clean up the print lines apparently? Run some very fine sandpaper over the surface next time to smooth out the worst of the print lines before painting, trust me it looks way better.
>The Ultramarines Gene-seed is noted, however, for having a predisposed increase in aggression and a tendency towards cohesion and adaptation of hierarchy.Is that true? I’ve never seen a son of Guilliman who was particularly aggressive.I think the Sons of Dorn surpass them in that regard.
>>98870255ultramarines are boring as sin, but they have some fucked up psycho successor chapters that show the more interesting sides. gulliman gets to have cake and eat it too.
>>98870232I have zero issues with his rat posts but I find his models ugly and him to be a bit of a prick
>>98870284>but they have some fucked up psycho successor chapters that show the more interesting sides.Like which ones?
>>98870295>I find his models ugly and him to be a bit of a prickIs it because his models were in the space wolf getting destroyed collage and he called you out for being a dick to drawanon?
>>98870255Every marine geneseed is the same fucking flaw when you get down to it.>some form of aggression.
>>98870173Whatever you choose its going to look rubbish as you cant paint for shit you ritual posting fuckwit
>>98870313He's infinitely better at painting than you decalpedo
>>98870320Not decalfag, I just have a hatred for ritual posters, particularly him as he's from the same country as me.

>>98870337Fuck off
>>98869684>Is 4th edition really the best edition and does it live up to the nostalgia tinted praise it gets?4th 5th 6th were all just 3rd refined arguably 7th as well nothing changed fundamentally until 8th
>>98870336>Rainbow WarriorsLOL
>>98869734failcast replaced white metal
>>98870351Oh you're the one who had a legitimate mental breakdown in the threadI don't think you can talk about annoying posters lmao
>>98870372nta but what the fuck are you talking about?
>>98870372I've only posted 3 times in this thread anon, im just done with ritual posters and so is everyone else by the looks of it
>>98870393wtf is a ritual poster?
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98870337nigga out here defending a ritualposting holowhore simp for free lmao
>>98870402This shit>>98870405>>98869711>>98869690
>>98870415But the dark eldar refresh IS coming
>>98870402its someone who posts the same thing every thread, like a little ritual. this is a good example >>98870405 its mostly considered annoying because its very repetitive and doesn’t contribute to the thread, and there’s a 50/50 chance they’re huge attention whores.
>>98869786wip
I hate the ritual reply posters that reply to the ritual posters more than the average ritual poster. They can fucking die.
>>98870427Would be best to just get rid of the ritual posters to begin with
2 colour WIP Greyfax, I'm half half on whether I like it. Giganewfag but I really like the Imperial Agent assassins and inquisitors
>>98870436MOOOOOOOOT DON'T TURN MY IMAGES
>>98870436>2 colours>actually is 4 colours
>>988704412 colours**excluding the fabric and cape colours
>>98870390He had a legitimate mental breakdown a couple weeks ago spamming his models and saying the most unhinged shit>>98870393>Everyone elseEverybody who actually cares just filters them, a feat too difficult for a headcase like you to figure out
>>98869690
>>98870456>meet "huge" FF fan at magic>they haven't played SOPwtf
>>98870425Hella nice wolf anon!
>>98870454I just had a look through the archive (in case you were right) and the last time I posted that one was in late July and it looks like i was replying to.....the decalfag lmao after he asked me to post models. The one I submitted for the collage (all black background) I've only posted once since the collage in response to my first painted model until now, so im not sure what meltdown you're referring to
>>98870255>increase in aggression and a tendency towards cohesion and adaptation of hierarchy.As opposed to the geneseed of other legions, which makes aspirants totally chill and unruly.
So are you supposed to thin washes?
>>98869786Man I really got to build more jungle fighters. Too many other projects tho...
>>98869684>Is 4th edition really the best edition and does it live up to the nostalgia tinted praise it gets?Yes, and yes.It's not perfect; it's just that every other edition is definitively worse.Main gripes with it don't even pertain to the ruleset, but to relatively minor codex issues.
>>98870493Are those yours anon? Pretty fuckin cool, what edition are they from?
>>98870506Yea mine. They are the old sculpts from the pewter era, not the awful plastic kits.
>>98870454I’m terminally online, and I don’t remember any of that.
>>98870520Thats awesome, can you still use those catachan models in games? Im not familar with guard so I dont know the current loadout
For those people who play 4th edition, do you use models that weren't available during that edition? One of the resident gsc posters said he's been playing 4th but possibly with a gsc army which didn't exist back then (squatted in 2nd ed maybe?)
>>98870425Excellent wolf my peep you have made your packmates proud
>>98870581NTA but, yes, as long as they're on 25mm bases, they're totally legal. As pictured, their loadout isn't legal for a standard Catachan squad, but is fully kosher as a Catachan Command Squad
Where do I get a shitload of bases?
>>98870471>>98870591man, this is just fucking mean.
>>98870597search miniature bases on amazon
>>98870597Amazon.
>>98869986Think ive seen his army posted once and it looked great. Would take forever to paint to that standard across an entire gsc army though
>>98870591Tease all you want but I’m the one unafraid to embrace the hobby and have fun with it you cowardly faggot
Consider the following; Craftworld Eldar, being more attuned to the Warp, feel emotions and sensations much deeper than Humans do.Following this train of thought, it's well within logic that you can spank a Farseer just right and make her orgasm on the spot.
>>98870425Were you the guy who was making the 13th company?
Why are bladeguard a thing but we don’t have boltguards when the fuck are we getting breacher squads

I love nuln oil, it really is liquid skill
>>98870692>have you tried playing a worse game Yes no thank you
>>98870754I love nuln oil too. speaking of, I often lick my brush after rinsing it, does anyone else do this, and if so, has anyone else noticed nuln oil has a distinct bitter flavor not seen in regular paints and metallics.
>>98870778Taste tier list when

I wanna play monogod with demons but I'm not sure if I should go for pure demon or for one of the cult codexes and mix marines and demons
>>98870754Except when retards slop it on and try to tell me it makes their models look grimdark and grimyNo they just look like a wash was poorly applied
>>98870781right now. though it’ll only be the main paints I use.>S TIER Vallejo Light Green AK Deep Redgenerally give a smooth feeling with an almost sweet taste. >A TIER Vallejo Royal BlueVallejo Royal Purpleessentially tasteless, but slides off the tongue well.>B TIER Vallejo Camo Bright Greenhas a slight bitter taste, but nothing offensive. >C Tier Vallejo Gunmetalgenerally very bitter taste, and the fact its metallic makes me worried about ingesting metal flakes. >D TierNuln Oil Very hit or miss. When rinsed well, it can give a slight bitter tang that’s weirdly pleasant on the mouth, but if not rinsed as well it’s extremely bitter and personally I’ve often had to rush to drink some juice to wash it down.
This conversations fucking stupid and unfunny, we're moving on.
>>98870818mono-god daemons is stronger than daemon + marine right now. take that as you will.
>>98870845take your meds
Do you guys just say fuck it and use non-GW minis in your army? Does anyone really care? Some of these third party models looks leagues better than what GW is putting out.
>>98870762Literally the opposite, HH has the better rules. How is it "worse" to you?
>>98870863Most people don't care. Although it depends on what 3rd party models you are talking about. Most of the time they are dogshit.
>>98870863Yes I doNobody ever cared
>>98870879>>98870882Im slowly building a black templar army and I was just gonna say fuck it and use some models to replace the expensive units for my army. Honestly fuck GW for increasing prices, also to me this model looks way better than the emperors champion that GW out out.
>black templarThis thread is a NO CHUD ZONE
>>98870911I wonder if it's mentally exhausting to imagine that your hobby space is full of neonazis that you never run into but are surely all over the place.Being mentally exhausted might require these people to have a brain, so maybe not.
>>98870911>chuds play BT or Kriegok for real which armies do chuds actually like.I know leftists go for Sisters and Custodes for some reason
>>98870957The whole neonazi chuds literally are not real
>>98870911I too browse r/grimdank and jerk my tiny white clitty to sissy hypno
>>98870957The fact is if you play 40k at all you're both a chud AND a tranny.
>leftists go for sistersWouldn't they think it's le heckin male gaze or something
>>98870976Chuds usually play chaos and leftists play imperiumBoth want to roleplay as the other, both are tsundere for each other
>>98870982Where do us XENOCHADS fit?
>>98870985xeno players with the exception of Orks are all coomers
>>98870985incognito coomerchuds.
>>98870985centrists/dudes who just wanna grill
>>98870976liberals love the girls boss meme
>>98870986>>98870988The models aren't erotic enough to find them appealing, not even le slaanesh le god of le excess
>>98870991Yeah, hence why we lust over fanart.
>>98870982I feel like trannys want to embrace the emperors children but dont want to be stereotyped. Like wealthy black people who refuse fried chicken.
>>98871000Holy shit this. Slaanesh is literally both sexes at the same time. Modern Daemonettes are supposed to be half male half female and shit. The entire faction is built for them
>>98870863Naw, I haven’t seen anything worth getting instead of just spending a little more for GW models. If I played guard I’d probably buy those Warlord French troops to pad out Krieg squads, that’s a neat kitbash I’ve seen, but that’s it.
Would you buy sexy 40k models if GW made them?Would you field them in your LGS?
>>98870957Chuds like Ultramarines.
>>98871025Would you buy sexy 40k models if GW made them?yes >Would you field them in your LGS?most are child friendly so no
>>98871025Absolutely.Hell no. We had a dude who kept bringing naked wytches/lelith to one of the stores I played at. They’d confront him when they noticed, he’d say he forgot, and that the other store on the other side of the city lets him play them there, etc. He doesn’t even bring his deldar anymore but they come over and check his case before he takes anything out every time he comes in.
>>98870957for me, it's World Eaters
>>98871049How do I not get exhausted painting WE trim? The mere thought of it makes me not want to get them but their lore is cool and they look rad
>>98871045Based coomer. I kneel.
>>98870957CustodesLiterally you versus the xenos masses.
>slaanesh models shouldn't be alluring or show any form of female sexuality at all because uhhhhh>even though it's perfectly fine and naturalWhat the fuck is wrong with anglos
>>98871054NTA but I've debated giving the army painter speedpaint markers a try for that. The main thing that stops me is that I'd probably have to prime grey or white for them.
>>98871066feminism has convinced the masses that we can't have attractive women in male hobbies.It's all about the "male gaze">>98871054if you like the lore and models then go for it.
>>98871054Get a nice sable brush and use a good metallic paint that covers in one coat like proacryl bronze or light brass
>>98871079>using a nice brush for metallics
>>98871066High morality + Mediocre IQ = Useful IdiotIf you can convince an anglo of something using a combination of manufactured consensus and appeals to morality you will basically have a slave for life. He will literally throw himself into gunfire for the ideals you created, no matter how contradictory or nonsensical they are.Warhammer 40,000
>>98871086It’s not a big deal unless you’re an ape that gets water from your dipping cup in the ferrule. I’ve never had trouble getting the mica out.
>>98871075>It's all about the "male gaze"more like the male gays amirite
>>98871086>Fell for sloptuber liesIf you don't flood the brush with paint and you clean it after every use a natural hair brush can used with metallics for years just finePicrel is a cheap sable from GSW and has been used with metallics since 2024 and holds a point no problem
>>98871099but 2024 is only>2 years agofuck my life
>>98871054Paint them brass first and then fill in the panels with red
>>98870489Normally no, but you can do it to make them less dark.
>>98871000EC is problematic because it's glamrock rapist fags with a cocaine addiction.Troons would rather straight up play daemons, or play an imperial faction like custodes but they're trains or something.

>>98871132I used a pair of cheap Army Painter nippers for 10 years before they got misaligned and I had to toss them. I wouldn't worry about expensive, flush-cut nippers. Just get a cheap pair to get the things out of the sprues and then use nail clippers to snip off any nubs that remain.
>>98871138For me it's Reiko Sawamura
>>98871132continuing from >>98871141>Just get a cheap pair to get the things out of the sprues and then use nail clippers to snip off any nubs that remain.To continue my thought, then use your hobby knife to make things perfect while you're dealing with the mold lines.You do scrape off your mold lines, right, anon?
>>98871139They're literally $13.87 from walmart dot comI bought mine in a hobby store, I paid $8.99 in 2015.Again, you can also get by with el cheapo ones you buy at big box hardware stores like Home Depot (or its equivalent in your country if you are not American), but those ones are not made of tool steel and thus need to be sharpened far more often, on top of the cutting surface shape being better-suited to cutting parts off of sprues on GodHands vs. generic snippers.
this too bright for word bearers?
>>98871150I got some $8 nippers yesterday but they're huge and leave massive nub marks
>>98871153You can just post your models and ask for a review next time, they look divine brother!>>98871137I’ve used a cheap pair off Amazon and used it for over 10k pts of models and it’s still useful.
>Thought starting strength was based more on wound count rather than model count.>Realize and get told that is only for single models, multi wound model units only use unit size rather than wound count.How retarded am I for thinking this for a while? Been playing a couple recent games wrong at this point.
>>98871153looks very good.
>>98871156Do you understand how that connects to what I've been saying?You *can* use ones like you bought, or you can get ones purpose-made for hobby shit that cost a bit more and will (probably) be nicer to work with.
The real trick to painting is to make it look striking, interesting and clear, but from a decent distance because they'll be on the table. I can't believe I didn't realise this, and I feel like I was lied to by how much painting youtube I watched. Probably my fault for being a youtubetard

>>98871169Yeah. 80% of a good army paint job is having a nice bright colour scheme that stands out with a bit of contrast so it doesn't look like just a solid colour, being neat and having them all based.
>>98871175Damn, that bad huh? Not really sure why I thought it was more based on wounds than model count, but at least I caught it now.
Of course my army is BASED

>>98871099Yup. I ruined two sables before I learned how to treat them, and I’ve never had a problem since. Two things I used to do that fucked my brushes was dunking them in the water cup past the ferrule, basically getting the glue in the ferrule wet and keeping it wet the whole time I’m using the brush.And fucking twisting the brush while getting water off it on a towel. Twisting to get a point was shit I saw YouTubers do all the time, but all it does is tug the bristles on the outside out of the ferrule, compounded by a wet ferrule.I got a 0, a 2 and a 4 I’ve been using for over a year now that all have perfect points, paint never goes more than a third to halfway up the bristles, and I never get paint cup water in the ferrule.

If I'm completely unhappy with a paintjob and want to restart the whole thing, would it be a danger to re-prime it?
>>98871357If the paint is thinly applied it shouldn’t be tro much of an issue. You can always strip the model too.
>>98871356Because you're a chud
>>98871356just remind him that Trump won and he'll probably kill himself

>>98871337YOU HAVE CAPTAIN DIOMEDES.
>>98871356That person sounds retarded. This hobby will forever be white due to the price and effort filter. The brown people at my store never play Warhammer. They always play DnD and gay ass trading card games. However, it doesn’t change the fact that American investors own 30% of GW and they WILL shove their faggotry wherever they please: >Fidelity: 8.61%>BlackRock: 6.76%>Vanguard: 5.74%>Capital Group: 4.03%>JP Morgan: 2.58%>Dimensional: 2.02%
I am convinced the reason people paint EC as purple instead of pink is because of Horus Heresy.
>>98871356>why the fuck people like this exist?Autism, and emotional immaturity. This kind of behavior is common in any fanbase. Warhammer 40k is no exception.I was like this as a teenager over 10 years ago. I attached my views to fictional media I was really into.Did it for Warhammer 40k. The owner of that account might be a teenager who is into Warhammer 40k and going through a phase.At least that's the best you can hope for as if he is a grown adult then things get a lot sadder.
>>98871400also because purple is leagues easier to paint than pink
>>98871400I think it's because the majority of 40k players are male, and more men are straight rather than gay.
I've lost a whole leg of my triarch stalker, does James offer any kind of replacement piece service?
>>98871424HAHAHAHAHA
>>98871421>purple is less gay than pink

>>98871427I spent like $67 on this guy, admittedly it was my fault, I bumped him off the desk and the leg has been lost to the void
>>98871428Yes, but I wouldn't expect a bisexual to understand that.
>>98870597find some 3D printer. i got a ton of printed bases, cheaper than gw prices.
>>98871432men can't be bisexual dumbass, they're either straight or wrong
>>98871424>does James offer any kind of replacement piece service?Most likely no. You'll have to look for bitz resellers or ebay for a replacement piece. Or pay for a whole new model. I wouldn't be surprised if this is deliberate with some models that look very unstable on a base. Miniatures are supposed to be structurally robust game pieces. Seems that's going out of style at GW more in favor of being detailed display pieces instead. There needs to be a good balance of both. Preferably in favor of game piece robustness.>lost a whole leg of my triarch stalkerOn the off chance that you "lost it" by messing up the leg maybe you can repair it and then work on a Japanese Kintsugi look to "compensate?" This could be a "blessing in disguise" for your Necron army scheme.>what is Kintsugihttps://www.britannica.com/art/kintsugi-ceramics
>>98871320Is WH40K Dawn of War 4 gonna ignore the DoW3 game? I recall that being bad and a flop. What is it gonna do to differentiate itself from the Total War Warhammer 40k RTS game?>>98871331DEI/woke detection has the same problem "toxic masculinity" had where both things do exist. Nobody can conclude on when something begins to count as Dei/woke/toxic masculinity. So even the smallest thing that doesn't count but could "be a start of it" sets off alarms for those who don't like those things.Space Marines in Warhammer 40k set off a lot of alarms for those few who don't like "toxic masculinity."
>>98871159>I’ve used a cheap pair off Amazon and used it for over 10k pts of models and it’s still usefulNo you haven't. Not only is that an incredibly tall tale (cheap snips blunt/misalign well before 10K points of models worth of work) but (you) in particular commissioned all your shit so
>>98871150>$59.99 Canadian funny money for Godhand plastic clippers>sold at a computer storeWeird. But I'd probably have to research proper maintenance for clippers to prevent those from rusting. Not gonna lie I'd probably avoid them as I already manage my brushes for miniatures terribly enough. Even with the brush soap. I haven't used Tamiya's brush conditioning fluid, but I'd imagine I'd mess up with those too.>that exodite eldar girlEverything the Eldar women should have looked like in the exodite faction. Especially the tanlines, scars and their women having pronounced abs.But GW probably wouldn't hire actual fans of Warhammer 40k to make the models or stories. I'd imagine because autism would result in more harm than good. I don't think I could manage the Warhammer 40k ip integrity very well in any capacity either. All I could do is rule of cool and the ladies would be what would make me get hard in the concept art before the sculptors mess up their faces.
>>98871344It's the USians, and these /pol/posters don't even have models.
oppinions about her?
>>98871502Literally who
>>98871492Could the same be said about the "activist coded" posters that mostly inhabit r/grimdank and other social media hubs about Warhammer 40k or loosely related to Warhammer 40k? I don't feel like it is a good idea to post models here at all because of this site's reputation and autism. But maybe I'm being too paranoid.

>>98871502Off-topic but I don't like that most of these "vtubers" are blurring the line between their avatar and their real selves. It fosters a weird romanticised and idealized version of that person.
>>98871507You're not gonna get doxxed on here unless you somehow manage to earn the ire of an obsessed schizo, which only happens when you yourself act like an obnoxious retard with your own pics attached to it for a long time. In the decade+ I've been posting on /tg/ I've seen it happen maybe twice. Literally practice basic internet opsec and don't be an obnoxious faggot and you'll be fine.
>>98869684how dare you posting peak warhammer 40k?
>>98869717>>98869722No it wasn't you lying piece of shit. First of all 4th was '04-'08 and Finecast didn't excrete from GWHQ until late 2011 the very closing days of 5th, and on top of that when people talk about 4th being the best they're explicitly talking about only the first half of 4th so it's even more distant from the Finecast debacle.Early 4th had the best of 3rd content, some of Forgeworld's best work, the Doctrines and Trait systems, equipment armouries and extensive options for most squads in most armies, the fluff was good, the minis were getting better, it was legit a golden age >>98869691 it's not nostalgia or rose tint.That doesn't mean everyone will like it, game design is as much a matter of taste and priorities as anything else and can only really be called "objectively" bad when it fails to meet its own claimed goals, but if what you want is >play cool thematic games in a pre-cucked, pre-enshittified version of the 40K IPthen early 4th can't be beat.
>>98871507Perhaps the same could be said of all generals
>>98871578Early Forgeworld sculpts were pretty stinky compared to their later era. You could argue the resin stigma came from the original imperial armour sculpts.
>>98869722Finecast was the result of GW seeking a way to compensate for the rise of the price of tin, while being still able to use their same metal moulds. That's it.Their QA was shit, but the idea wasn't bad.
>>98871507>I don't feel like it is a good idea to post models here at all because of this site's reputation and autism.Perhaps. At the very least I never post models when challenged or indirectly challenged to do so because the schizos in here will probably harass me over the argument anytime I post models ever again.
>>98871507>I don't feel like it is a good idea to post models here at all because of this site's reputation and autism.>But maybe I'm being too paranoid.No, you're not paranoid. It's honestly not a good idea.If you want to post models however, just make sure you only post models you never post elsewhere. That way you can stay as anonymous as possible.

Played my first game of 11th. 1k points.Black Templars:Purge the FoeOrks: Take and holdThe table was very crowded with the big objectives and the small table sizeTurn 1 War Bikers got across the board and managed to charge the crusaders after their surge move. Wartrike was downed by For the Emperor's Honour! However the Crusaders were all slain by the bikers. First Blasters lie in wait for th counter-strike.
>>98871740End of Space Marine turn 1, the bikes were taken down by the Eliminators on the bottom of the board followed up by a charge from the Captain. First blasters took down the Wartrakk and the land raider took out a squig truck. Space Marines now have control of the board.
How can I drill through a little plastic head without that special drill thing?
>>98871740>>98871751>unpainted>not even primed
>>98871751End of Ork turn 2.The Boyz teleported out from hiding behind the home objective and shot the Captain to pieces. Dakka rig pivots to the other side of the board to take out the first blasters. Deffkobtas came in on both sides of the board. One squad fails to beat the land raider, but the other takes out the lone eliminator. Sadly they are just off the objectives.
>>98869684Okay, I need help with finding alternative heads for the sisters of battle, any recommendations? I cannot cope with GW sculpting every female face like they’re trannies.
>>98871763There are good head STLs but you need a 3D printer
>>98871762End of Marines turn 2. Eradicators and Land speeder took the middle, van vets deep strike to take my home. Most of the Boyz were wiped out and a land speeder took out the Dakkarig. Assault Intercessors charged to try and take out the warboss, but only dealt a single wound. Game was called here as the Orks could charge the van vets while the kopters pivoted to the middle.>>98871755I had to wait for their hats which only arrived about two weeks ago. Spent that time painting up the marines.
I'm also looking for good head
>>98871763There's a bunch you can buy on etsy, but double check the seller location since they only calculate shipping on final checkout so what looks like it'll be a decent deal might get raped up by shipping.
>>98871767Nice game, looks like fun.Don't even bother responding to the negative pissant who always says shit to anyone who posts playing the game, he's here all the time and does it constantly. Just a shitposter.
>>98870585Initially no, but after many many many years of playing and understanding the system yes, we have adapted some, but minor ones that are not disruptive or nuhammer feeling. Cults have a 3rd edition codex, and are super easy to adapt as lost and damned + some genestealers on top.

>>98871615>bro it rarely happensYeah, I don't really give a shit. I'm not taking the risk either way.What's the saying? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?
Am I using this shit incorrectly? It just seems like awful yellow paint
>>98871783I find it loans itself to a less is more approach, if you wanna smear it on your weapons take a frayed brush, and just gently stipple it along your blades or other sharp bitsIf you want blood splatter use a toothpick to flick the end of your brush onto the model (dont do this at your desk because it will go on your monitor and you won't notice before it cures)its also a nice way to do the blood angel's blood drops if you thin it down with a little water and paint it over goldfor blood splatter
>>98871805Is that with the new tone pro paint? It looks really good
>>98871820Post models
>>98871783Make a gradient on your pallet between a glob of BFTBG and some Agrax Earthshade. Blood turns brown and oxidizes when exposed to air, so it helps sell a more realistic effect if some spots have older blood stains that aren't as fresh, or deeper, darker areas where the blood is more concentrated. The biggest tip I can give you though is don't go overboard. You don't need to cover the entire mini in it, often just a little on a weapon or the ground sells the effect a lot better than splattering it everywhere with a toothbrush or something.
>>98871827I'm not falling for that, retard.Also, you're just proving my point.
>>98871132Klein
>>98871822thanks but I think you didn't finish your
>>98871821You need to apply it with a sponge or do stippling with a drybrush. I got the Rust effect and it works the best that way.

What's a cheap source of beak helmets that fit proper into the primaris sized bodies? I remember reading about Mk6 helmets of HH being too little, RG upgrade sprue is nice but only has 2.
>>98871933I much prefer ork boys to be the around the size of space marines. Can someone post the new boyz next to a primaris
>>98871945The marine head upgrade is a tad cheaper and also has 2 beakies.
>>98871945Unironically probably ebay listings for mk6 primaris helmets made by GW.Only other options I can think of are 3D printing them yourself. Or just buying 3rd party helmets from online.
>>98871928funny but marines suck in dow4, they are the weakest faction and get completely raped by Orks in particular. Literally can't cope with amount of bodies Admech/Necrons and Orks throw, completely disabling their ranged units and capping all points
>>98871942Rumours they're getting an actual supplement next year, although I think someone just got confused between Raven Guard and DA Ravenwing, which has also been rumoured to get a release wave this edition.A new unique unit for RG would be more interesting than updating more DA stuff.
>>98871976Sauce on this?
>>98871976>>98871985He's right
>>98871982>RGI'm just waiting for HH RG units in plastic
>>98871982So that's why they're pushing Phobos units so heavily
>>98871985me playing their free playtestIt's logical too. Marines are far more elite here than in previous DoWs and can't be everywhere all at once while DoW is all about capping Requisition and Energy points. Spamming tier 1 units is meta, Necron can shit out 20 of scarabs and rape you asap. You will still be on your 2nd Infiltrator marine unit while Orks already have multiple Gretchins and Boyz everywhere capping everything outcompeting you in resources. It doesn't matter that your one Infilitrators can survive against two units of Boyz (unable to shoot since they have to fight in melee) when there is 10 of them already and enemy can spam them and then vehicles soon after since he can afford them. Marines play DoW2 while everyone else Ultimate ApocalypseAnd Necrons units are literally free once you paid for them once, since they keep respawning endlessly and constantly after getting killed
>>98872003>>>>>>>>>>>>>>9 hoursSorry I thought you said you played it
>>98871942This looks as dumb as space marines can get.
>>98872003So what do Marines have going for them? Im keen on playing this game but based on what you're saying it sounds like DOW 1 all over again >Goal is to spam rush your opponent with w/e units you have available to keep the pressure on themLove turtlin'
>>98872009Meant for >>98870255
There's absolutely no way that the Taurox survives 11E, is there?
>>98872025It's so fucking retarded
>>98872013Primaris are cringe but this >>98871942 is just retarded. Cope.
>>98872025Scions have been in a weird limbo state since they launched. The kill-team Aquilons not just replacing the old unit make me think they won't abandon the concept entirely but they certainly aren't in any rush to support them further.
>>98872032>>98872009You can always go more retarded
>>98872011Against AI basically you have to cope by hunkering down and relying on turrets, hoping AI will funnel their units into a chokepoint like he does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNC4Pn32JqEIn PvP you die>>98872006you can read what others say then
>>98872009why?
>>98872033>Scions have been in a weird limbo state since they launchedThey exist there because they were clearly a weird attempt by GW to try "primaris" imperial guard.Nobody likes them because they are generic as fuck and uninteresting and in general are just a dollarstore version of stuff like Kasrkin or Krieg Grenadiers.Also people play guard for the same reasons why marines are so popular, you can basically come up with any type of guard regiment pretty easily and use any variety of models to make them into an army.Tempestus Scions however will always be just Tempestus Scions. Only thing different between any scion squad/regiment is their fucking color scheme.It's like how sisters of battle have never attained the same popularity as space marines, sisters will always just be sisters, their shtick and aesthetic is to just be space catholics. If you move away from that they are no longer sisters. Unlike marines, alongside guard, have so much potential variety built in that you can basically do anything with them.Same thing applies to Tempestus Scions, they will always be just Scions if you start changing they no longer are Scions, also at that point you might as well just play regular guard and make up your own guard regiment from ground up if you're going to start changing shit.
>>98872000Are they?
>>98872055See, that's way too much flavor to give to the Imperial Fists. Inuit culture comes with all kinds of myths and symbolism and would just be flat out better than Space Wolves
Is there any sort of hack to take push fit models back apart or am I just kind of screwed
>>98872047that's retardedI get that people like to think that the guard allows you to be whatever regiment you want with whatever lore you want, but on the tabletop that hasn't been the case since 9th eyour options are cadians and recently krieg, and also catachans if you like bad jokes, and the way people roleplay their own regiment is by ignoring the names and keeping the statlineswhich you can absolutely do with scions since really all they are is elite guardsmen with carapace armor and deep strikelikethat's what I've been doing for over five years now.
>>98872047>their shtick and aesthetic is to just be space catholics. If you move away from that they are no longer sisters.I disagree. I think GW can and should give them more options so they can be more than black, red and white nuns with guns (while still keeping that as their main aesthetic).If they could be converted into many different types of warriors and historical aesthetics etc then that would kill any final reason for there to ever be female space marines, and that would be a Good Thing.

>>98871988
>>98872072
>>98872069>If they could be converted into many different types of warriors and historical aestheticsAnd that's just turning sisters into space marines, which is a terrible idea.
is a single knight sized model okay for casual games? or is that a bit strong?i've got an eldar wraithhost i've been putting together and i'd like to bring my blade wraithknight, but i dont want to immediately earn a reputation as that guy 5 minutes into playing the army.
>>98872071>Fish Speaker SoB
>>98872071>>Amazonian SoBWow, sisters who are taller than average.>>Mongolian SoBWow, sisters using bikes and being kirkland brand White Scars>>Iceworld SoBWow, sisters but their armor is fucking blue at best. (even IF have an ice homeworld and they are just piss yellow, which is impressive and more distinct somehow)
>>98872079>blade wraithknight>that guyOh my summer child, you will be fine.
>>98872070It's the onslaught box. I'm taking them apart to glue them so I can get them permanently fitted more firmly.
>>98872079Knight sized models are generally shit. Imperial/Chaos knights just recently managed to become an army that can actually play the game.
Can Chaos Knights pair with 'Crons?
>>98872078No because Space Marines are comically large-proportioned dudes who are a player avatar, while Sisters of Battle are normally proportioned hot women who are eye candy.Currently there's no major difference between, say, Black Templars and Sisters of Battle other than the sexual dimorphism I mentioned. They're both monastic fanatical combat orders who love black, white and splashes of red. But that doesn't stop either faction from being fun.
>sob>hot women
>>98872099Mine are.
>>98872043It's very simple, it's what happens when you try to mix space marines with something they are not supposed to be. Space marine samurais or ninjas are cringe, space marines + animals are cringe. A logo or emblem is ok, but armour parts, animal parts or poses, yeah that's some therian level cringe.
>>98872099Don't cry anon, hot women aren't real, they can't hurt you.
>>98872084>Imperial Fistswow, marines but yellow>Ultramarineswow, marines but blue>Crimson Fistswow, marines but blue... with red hands>Iron Handswow, marines but with iron handsI dunno man if you don't like it you can homebrew something you do like, if GW just added a little more leeway in the lore and model range. That's the idea at any rate.>Release some promo event of Sisters of Battle minor orders being lifted up by the ecclesiarchy into positions of major prominence >add a couple upgrade sprues for different SoBs with new interesting colour schemes and themes>let people go wild>nobody ever has a good reason to ask for FemMarines ever again, we just tell them to play SoB and shut the fuck up>everyone wins>>98872099They're butterfaces in the models as painted by GW, but conceptually and in art they're hot

>>98872090>>98872085okay, here's the army list i put together based on what i bought. if i hadnt included the wraithknight, i've also got jain zhar and 5 banshees, and lhykhis and 10 warp spiders to play around with, as well as a wave serpent and 10 of the fighty guardians. also one of the farseer and spiritseers in the list are using the eldrad and karseth models cause they were cool so i bought them. only other thing i was really playing around with was the 3rd spirit seer vs the spirit stone on the farseet to give it lone op next to the fire prisms and allow it to tech marine heal them, but i wasnt sure if that was worth giving up a spiritseer to get.

Recommended paints/tech paints for bases?
>>98872155I've used two tech paintsThe CW lava shit never worked but the technical snow paint works great
>>98872155i like the AK pastes as a starting point for bases. then i'll usually add onto that with flock or gravel (i prefer flock over static grass. static grass looks like shit unless you are actually using the static application method to make it stand up). then often some kind of 3rd effect like leaves or ferns or some kind of slime or water. the trick to beleivable bases is to use at least 2 or 3 different materials. just using some pva glue and then sprinkling gravel or static grass is how you get cheap, lazy looking bases that are totally immersion breaking. if you are doing industrial mechanical bases though thats a whole other workflow and you need to find materials that can work for things like sheet metal or metal mesh.

I sure do hope that CKs get some non-battleshock mechanics next codex. I get that statcheck armies shouldn't exactly have rules that push them even further (custards havent went with it that far in current one) but after picking stealth and aura size upgrade you might as well forget that you had an army rule. I like the helhunt's 1:2 ratio demand, hope it stays alongside the detachment
I hope CKs get more cool models and become a real army but this might be monkey paw
>>98872155all texture pastes are pretty much the same. small gw pots are fine when figuring out what you want, but the big tubs are worth it if you're doing an army. painting them is best but some people just throw a wash/contrast over it.
>>98872165How long do those AK bottles keep? I have a bunch of orks I want to use them on but I also want to buy some backup to keep but I also don't want to buy too much for that purpose if they dry out after a year...
>>98872138Based monster mash eldar player Once I'm done with marines my first 2000 points of eldar is going to be 2 wraithknights, 2 wraithlords, 10 wraithblades, the avatar of khaine, and some chaff, so I respect a fellow wraith enjoyer
>>98872223one tub should last indefinitely, they're huge.
>>98872149Those are just using marine bits.Sisterfags will never escape the allegations of just wanting to ape space marines without playing them.It's like custodesfags.
>>98872141>I want normally proportioned human womenSisters aren't that either due to their rigorous training and heavy use of combat drugs and steroids.
>>98872223as long as you keep the white sealer sheet in the cap, they keep for years. i mistakenly threw it out on a few of my first ones thinking it was just some packaging paper, and those ones dried out. the sheet has a thin layer of foam and actually acts as a sort of gasket to insulate the seal on the bottle. as far as quantity, they used to make the large cans which would last for like 3 armies worth of basing at least. but i havent seen those around for sale as much, just the smaller ones which are like maybe half an army. >>98872211i've tried most of the brands, and while most of them are comparable the GW ones are significantly worse quality and about 5x the price per volume. avoid citadel basing pastes at all costs.
>>98872233Price per ml is sometimes a poor way to judge value. I don't think I'm going to need more than the pot of GW crackle paste I'm using for this army, and while I did go through the first pot of stirland mud really fast it was absolutely worth it to try and find out that yes, I can justify investing the big tub.The worst texture paste I've used is AK's desert sand. Horrible colour, had to be applied with a stick as a brush couldn't handle it, and soaked up paint like MDF.
>>98872267maybe you just got a bad pot or something? AKs desert sand worked perfectly fine for me
>>98871185I don't see why you wouldn't go for one of the Shield Host detachments. You're going in three different directions with the tank detachment, terminator detachment, and dreadnought detachment while losing out on the buffs the shield hosts give to the Katahs. For my list I went with Emperor's Chosen for the rerolls, but Solar Watch's movement stuff and Dread Host's charge stuff were also considerations for my list. Here's mine for comparison>Detachments: Emperor's Chosen, Honoured Champions, Might of the Moritoi>Shield Captain w/Radiant Mantle enhancement - 220 pt (Warlord)>3 Custodian Guard - 220 pt>Blade Champion - 175 pts>3 Custodian Wardens - 295pts>3 Allarus Custodians - 270pts>3 more Custodian Guard - 220 pt>Contemptor Galatus Dread w/ Memento Moritoi enhancement - 250 pts>Telemon w/ Augury Uplink enhancement - 310 pts
Watched Hellraiser 1 and 2 tonight after finishing the revival game. Man I knew Dark Eldar were heavily inspired by the cenobites but man, its really clear after seeing the OG's. Same as the Godhand from Berserk.Haemonculi are even more mutilalted cenobites if you stood them next to each other (they even can have their own totally not a hell box!) The inspiration is so clear and direct GW could have Vect have the Pinhead look and it would fit him fine. And by that I mean the golden masked Giga Pinhead we see at the end of the game
>>98872336just wait till you find out who inspired the cenobites for the original book
>>98872336>help the man that raped youI don't get Hellraiser
>>98872336
>>98872345What do you mean? Is there a rabbit hole I'm missing? I know/can see the inspiration from BDSM/latex outfits. Is there some specific person? Please spoonfeed me anon
>>98872363I was more talking about the rabbit hole that is S&Mthe specific club that inspired the original novel was based on a club that got piercing for fun.Anyways that's pretty safe compared to the shit they get into nowadays
Am I the only one that finds BDSM shit extremely cringe
>>98872378It isIt's literally people with absolutely no self control indulging in their most perverse desires.They're no different than a dog in heat or another animal that can only think about their momentary pleasure.
>>98872372Years ago I read an academic article about the history first gay anal fisting sex club in San Francisco, that later became a sex club for gay men and women, that then became the first and only het/bi/gay all on in sex club so I'm farily well initiated into the weirder side of the S&M world. But yeah pretty mild back then compared to today. Just like the cenobite design themsevles. meant to be mutilated beyond human comprehension, and one justs fat and the women, Deepthroat as a small opening in her throat and bald. Hearly the end point of the extreme journey of sensation compared to this fan art of their own cenobite. Would be a perfect Haemonculis too, this is how I imagine them
>>98872287First - Custodian Guard is 240p, second - funny you posted perty because my opponent is IW
Thinking of buying some nids this guy is selling on FB. Thinking of offering $1000Cad ($715usd). Think it's a fair offer or too low/high? He has some printed stuff too but they aren't 1-1 copies, just 3d party sculpts. Not sure I want to fuck with that. Maybe if they look good in person. Anyways here's the list:Hive Tyrant, Swarmlord, Winged Hive Tyrant – builtNeurotyrant x2 + Screamer-Killer x2 – 1 pair painted, 1 pair builtNorn Emissary – builtTyrannofex – part paintedPsychophage x2 – 1 painted, 1 NOSCarnifex x2 – 1 built, 1 NOSParasite of Mortrex – builtWinged Tyranid Prime x2 – 1 built, 1 NOSGenestealers x30 – built, primedTermagants x40 + Ripper Swarm x2 – half built & primed, half NOSNeurogaunts x22 – half built, half NOSBarbgaunts x10 – half built, half NOSVon Ryan's Leapers x9 – built, primed
>>98872430 Also, since I'm pretty sure that's mostly composed of Leviathan box halves, do those termies from Leviathan come with spine fists or just the one weapon option?
>>98872336>Saber Interactive makes a Hellraiser game and is moderately successful >Saber Interactive is making Space Marine 3They're definitely using Dark Eldar as one of the antagonists in the next game and this was just an excuse to test out new models and animations.
>>98872440I'd be excited for new DE but it's obviously going to desexualize them even furtherGet read for ugly lesbian Witches
>>98872440God I fucking hope so, would be sick to see them properly since they get the least amount of attention from GW of all factions.However they'll be neutered like a lot in the Hellraiser game was>BDSM sex club>Everyone is wearing latex masks and body suits>So everyone is even more covered up and chaste than a normal night club>Orgy at the heart of the sex club is a group of fully clothed people dry humping Also I thought space marine 3 willl be Necrons, they have a whole area in 2 you fight through and GW revealed Titus has a necron arch enemy whose just an Oldcron in function and motivation
Do people really think Stern being able to go toe to toe with Gray Knights and Daemons while also coming back to life endlessly because she LE BELIEVES is good writing? She's also more important to the Eldar's fight against Slannesh than any of the Eldar themselves because she has a book that contains the secrets to beating chaos.
>>98872453There is always two enemy types in every space marine game. Would be odd for one of them not to be chaos, but necrons being the secret late game anime could make sense. Would tie into Titus being the warden of ultramar now and trying to drive back Invaders and reclaim the 500 worlds, with necrosar and the nightbringer shard being the conclusion of the game.
>>98872440maybe they'd use the opportunity to revive covens with new grotesques and other shit alluded to in last codex as well as new Urien who apparently doesn't even resemble a humanoid entity anymore but can still die and be fine afterwards. Like imagine you're fighting tau or something fleshy and then a webway portal opens with pour out of wracks, grotesques and pain engines
>>98872479It's not because she believes, it's because she has the souls of 700 people in her.Did you actually read the comic or are you operating with limited knowledge that you gained from a shortform video?
>>98872508wow what a slut
>>98872113>>Imperial Fists>wow, marines but yellow>>Ultramarines>wow, marines but blue>>Crimson Fists>wow, marines but blue... with red hands>>Iron Hands>wow, marines but with iron handsThis is correct. Marines should get squatted because they're an aesthetically flavorless concept.
>>98872059>Inuit culture comes with all kinds of myths and symbolism and would just be flat out better than Space Wolves???Inuit myths are about fucking seals, not dogs.
>>98872121>>98872124As usual, /tg/ did it better once upon a yesteryear

Someone please talk me out of buying the chaos knights christmas box. I don't need another army, but I've even daydreamed lore for my dudes. I don't know if I can resist, and it's all because of that fucking abominant, it looks too fucking cool to me.
>>98872121>>98872567sob armor isn't designed like normal marine armor, it's not a blank slate that can be reskinned with other cultures slapped on top of itdifferent subfactions of sisters can only exist like different guard regiments can exist, with their own kits with a completely different look, other than the basic template of imperial guns
>>98872597I normally think knights in general are gay, but if you’ve been daydreaming about them, and even have a basic idea for /yourdudes/ then it sounds like its meant to be. don’t let yourself be a daydreaming failure like hashutfag.
>>98872608Knights are gay but chaos knights are cool.
>>98872610sorry, chaos knights are gay too.I don’t make the rules.

>>98872610literally the opposite. Chaos is extremely tranny coded these days.
>>98872627>>98872620NO IT CAN'T BE TRUE I NEED TO BE BASED
>>98872642yeah, but it's because they're marines more than because they're chaos

>>98871491>sold at a computer storeIn the days of yore "computer stores" were more "nerd stores" and would have stuff like gunpla, which is where GodHands are most well-known afaik, and other /tg/ or /toy/ shit.

Saves backend time and effort (and therefore money)The UK being host to a particular brand of "sex-negative feminism" comboed with current thing IdPol pushing man-ish "women" to normalize troons via predictive programming doesn't help.
>>98872597CK player here.The benefit of Knights (both variants) is that each model kit comes with all of the weapons you need to make multiple variants. This is important because if you have magnets you can get access to basically a third of your army options out of a single kit.Christmas boxes do NOT do this. They notoriously leave out the extra weapons.
>LGS has had outdated models for the past 10 years>refuses to buy new product to replace it>refuses to markdown old product to sell fasterfactions for this feel?
>>98872734The Community article specifies that the Ruinator can be built as an Abominant, Rampager, or Desecrator and that the War Dog Stalkers can be built as Brigands or Karnivores. Previous IK boxes that left out sprues only mentioned the options that could be built, like the 2024 box said you could build the Knight Paladin as an Errant and left it at that.
>>98872750Can you build multiples of each war dog variant? Like four karnivores? You should be able to rebuild the Ruinator into a Despoiler too.

>>98872760Looks like it for the War Dogs. The Despoiler is an option from the mostly loyalist Questoris kit, I'm guessing you'd need parts from it.From what I can tell, it looks like the box is the same as picking up a Knight Ruinator and two boxes of War Dogs right off the shelf.

Finally got the sculpting tools, kinda overpaid for them but w/e. Do I try to make a pumpkin head for aberrants or use them as basing materials? I think as a head it'll look too goofy on the table, but that's kind of the point isn't it? Or I can just Marathon 5 aberrants with each of them having various pumpkins on their bases, along with maybe some candles.First time sculpting anything, this shit's tough.

Had a bizarre dream last night where I was painting a kitbashed Lord of Contagion who had a big locust on his shoulder but the locust looked so real I started I get creeped out by being near it and ended up never finishing it.
>>98872165>the trick to beleivable bases is to use at least 2 or 3 different materials. just using some pva glue and then sprinkling gravel or static grass is how you get cheap, lazy looking bases that are totally immersion breaking.Well that sucks for me. That's what I want to do. I want to just sand my bases, and give them a dirt paintjob and then static grass or tufts. >>98872223>How long do those AK bottles keep?Do you mean tub? I think they'll keep for a while. I still haven't opened my neutral texture that I might use to mix with green to make a texture paste moss. The droppers and tubs should keep longer than GW pots. >>98873231>vallejo european mud for 200mlI actually like Vallejo's Dark earth even though I prefer AK's dark Earth. Vallejo's Dark Earth seems better for "dead brown soil" while AK's is for more lively dark brown soil if that makes sense. Both have good uses. I went with AK (wargame terrain smaller pot) for the versatility.Also I love how Vallejo and AK name their paints after World War and Cold War stuff. I jokingly told a Russian friend to check for mud in his local area to confirm if Vallejo's Russian mud is accurate to his outdoors. I forgot what he said but it was a cringey dad joke if I ever made one.
>>98873351>I love how Vallejo and AK name their paints after World War and Cold War stuffIt's because they're far bigger in the historical modeling world.I actually know a guy who contracted AK to get the pigment for their Feldgrau paint for a project to "re-militarize" a VW Thing into a "close enough" Kubelwagen for reenacting. It turned out very well.
>>98873390>It's because they're far bigger in the historical modeling world.That's understandable. Those historical modeling hobbyists and model train hobbyists are absolute gods compared to us wargaming plebians. That isn't stopping Vallejo/AK to try and dip their hands in the wargaming space.>I actually know a guy who contracted AKI'll assume you aren't lying.Please ask him to expand the metal acrylic line with citadel metal mimicking colors. I'm already happy that AK made contrast equivalents and acrylic washes in dropper bottles. It is like AK is trying to shape itself to be "the one reliable ecosystem hobbyists can get stuck in."Funnily enough their best innovation would be their dropper bottle caps. I haven't had one crack and the design "shields" the paint in the center. It is pretty simple and genius.

>>98873260based
>>98873420>try and dip their hands in the wargaming spaceThey already make all the stuff to make the paints, it's money left on the table to not have a line for wargaming alongside historicals. The difference between Citadel "Sotek Green" and AK "Turquoise" is a bit of black pigment in the AK paint.>Please ask himThe guy I know got a deal for AK's pigment to make a small batch of automotive paint, he doesn't work there, he can't get them to do things.That said I do really like AK's paints, genuinely my favorite to work with of the normal "hobby" paints. I just wish I could find them local.

>>98873640Faith giving you magical powers is just not distinct enough from warp presence giving you magical powers in a satisfying enough way to make it any different than psykers. It ends up being a distinction without a difference, except in a few key ways where the difference doesn't make sense.

>>98873848>>98873855"this character's opinions are presented in a preachy and edgy manner so I no longer agree with these opinions" is not the same as "the themes and concepts affected me"It's "I have no convictions beyond not wanting to seem similar to people I dislike"
>>98873877>”I have no convictions beyond not wanting to seem similar to people I dislike"You pulling that out of your ass and attributing it to what people said here shows that you’re a disingenuous mongrel.
>>98873877you're kind of making a lot of assumptions. There's more to why I changed my worldview than just "I don't want to look like Big E"In fact the thing that stuck with me most was the priest. Him realizing what Big E truly was doing was a massive to me with how he chose to die with his faith

>>98873631The Admech are supposed to be monks like this. Fun read, should be able to do it in a day. Give it a look, its the basis for a lot of 40k technology as priesthood.

>>98873924Yes intelligent people were able to deduce and extrapolate from his statement that he was talking about the authors potential point of view and other atheists who agree with the written work and espouse similar ideals, I’m sorry that you’re stupid and probably paint hideous models but hey like the old adage says the world needs ditch diggers.
>>98873954Again you're the one making up reasons for him and saying I'm making assumptionsAnd again "these people make me cringe" is not a condemnation of religion or atheism

Just came home with some Pro paints and I gotta say, at the very least, the white is good. Haven't tried any other colorsTwo thin coats gets you full coverage. It just doesn't give a shit what you painted underneath I'm sure some whacko will find a game-changing use for them
>>98874033A job application.
>>98874230Makes sense though I don't have a wire. I tried rolling the milliput into a thin stick and then cut both ends. Made a hole with the tool and rolled the stick even thinner and made a wick. I suppose I can wait a while for it to harden so it will be easier to work with. Milliput is definitely softer than green stuff.

>>98874278With how lazy I am, it took me about two years to have 2000pts of a painted army. I was playing at 1000pts for the most part and a few combat patrol games with a friend for the first few games.
>>98874291And here's my last game, damn look at that change.
>wake up>200 deleted schizoposts
>>98874318MANY SUCH CASES!
>>98874295Nice looking GSC. You don't see too many people playing them sadly. No one in my area has any at least. How are they on the table?
>>98874346Competitively the faction is in a tough spot, marines now can chew down the relatively tougher units easily and your iconic marine killers aka Genestealers can't kill them for shit. I only play casual games with my friends and I'm having a blast. It fun to keep your opponent always on their toes with half your army being in reserves and popping up everywhere on the table.
>>98874373I have no idea how they plan to redesign GSC stats with their eventual codex to keep up with the stat creep. Like most of their defenses are probably staying the same, but are they getting strength bumps or more anti-infantry stuff or hunter profiles? Or are they just going to become even more of a horrid Army than they already are, at a time when blast 2 torrent weapons and cleave melee profiles make the archetype a joke to play?
>>98874383Have you tried, getting good?https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/vzqu6tzw/warhammer-40000-balance-update-chaos-the-imperium-and-xenos-fight-back/
>>98874346>How are they on the table?what day of the week is it?i gave up the army because GW seems to rewrite it from the ground up every time a new patch comes out. the army rules changed completely no fewer than 4 separate times during 10th, not to mention halfway through the edition they cut the strength of all my bombs in half which pretty much neutered my whole collection.
>>98874124We need to go back to the oldschool
Difference between shade and wash?
>>98874388I like how this article and the custodes article would suggest underperforming units as a means to deal with custodes/space marines, silly GW.
>>98874392My take on the demolition charges nerf is to make the new benefictus model more appealing as an anti-tank option with S12 psionic cascade. Most lists now run a minimum of two Benefictus models.
>>98874291>>98874295after about a year i think i have about 1.3k painted (a few hundred more if nids are counted for final day), could play a decent 1k game with the ones i have atm. im lazy af too and would like to have close to 2k painted by the end of the year. luckily characters are easy for us to paint and make up so much of this army
>>98874409thats what i plan on doing, 20x2 neos with a benefictus in each squad. will be running bio / xenocult masses, really considered running bio / purestrain instread but im not really gaining much from the purestrain detachment
>people still engaging with the mutant as if he's realReminder there's been no new pics
>>98874441Makes me feel a little less bad to hear that other people are on a similar timescale as me lolStill I wish I was a lot faster T_T
>>98874409i mean yeah but thats as gross and cynical a move as GW can pull. nerf the entire playstyle of the army just to sell 3 copies of the new foot character to every player. shameful
This shit is why 40k isn't, and never will be, competitive btw

Remind me again what the launch points cost was for the Defiler? Or the Twin Lance? Remind me what they are now WITH nerfs?
>>98874473Defiler was 245/250 depending on variant and is now up to 300base +15 per gun and an additional +50 for your second and third Twin Lance was 160 points and is now 240 (and still very good after the movement nerf).

>>98874106Sisters? I thought one of them was a boy
>>98874397They're effectively the same thing. "Wash" was just the generic term for very thinned out pigment that was made to sink into the creases and crevasses of models and weren't necessarily darker, but could also be light. "Shade" specifically referred to darkening washes but took over use when GW used it to refer to their popular darkening washes like Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade.
Alright bros, Imperial vs Chaos Knights, which is the correct side?

>>98874629>Chaos Knights exist to be allied into CSM armies and only that.and that’s a good thing!
For the new Chaos Knights battleforce, can you use it to make Imperial Knights? or are they that different of kits? Or just wait for the next battleforce box for knights that's going to be the exact same thing?

I've been using Vallejo primer for years, but I've been wondering if there are better options. It gets the job done, but it has a tendency to have micro clogs and sputtering after the paint has been sitting in the reservoir for a few minutes. Makes it extremely difficult to have consistent coats with no pooling.Yes, I'm thinning it. Roughly 50/50 with Vallejo thinner. I've tried adding flow improver as well, but it just results in a poor finish.Any suggestions for alternatives?
>>98874916Why not the spray? I use the white and black vallejo spray and haven't had any issues as long as you shake the devil out of the can.
>>98874949Because the airbrush, compressor, and spray booth are right there, and I can get more control.

>>98875075You don't paint
>>98875087Bold accusationLet's see your painted models with timestamp before you try to make that assertion
>>98875071Wut?>it's a larp if you use anything but Citadel tm now Warhammer Colour tm paints including the brand new Tone Pro tm paint line
>>98875071I a gave the it a go at GW with the trial stuff, the seem pretty alright but I think the only use I'd get out of them will be using them with their new wash technical if I need a specific coloured wash.
I brought in my models for a game at my local Warhammer store, but the manager spotted a tiny piece of the leg of a single marine that used Vallejo. I thought I could get away with it, 99% of the model was Citadel, but this one piece was Vallejo. Anyway I'm now permanently banned from all Warhammer stores until they can verify my Warhammer tm models are painted only with official paints.
>>98875088The new paint line is very useful and probably the biggest advancement we've had since contrastsI will be the first to shit on GW when they make a mistake but I can still recognize when they do something rightThese paints are genuinely something new but 70+% of /40kg/ is lorefags who only care about sloptubers and audiobooks so new paint releases mean zilch to them
>>98875115Aside from the white paint they're nothing special, you could already glob on unthinned aki and proacryl paints and have them shrink to coverAnd proacryl's pure white is still better
Based modelposter, but at the same time, if there's no reason to upgrade or change paints why do it?Saying "you should get these new paints because they're new" means nothing, it's literally unthinking consumption in a hobby already pretty bad for it.
>>98875071I was thinking about getting the white and light grey at my flgs but I talked to the owner and he said he wasn't getting the stand and the whole line because it would cost too much. Is it really that much better than just buying regular grey and white paints I already do?
>>98875115>taufag being an obnoxious consoomer cuntChecks out
>>98875124I can personally attest that tthe lighter end of the Blackstone Void paints is way better than any light greys or whites from regular GW, TTC, or AP.Being able to chuck Ulthuan Grey into the trash is enough for me.
>>98875123>if there's no reason to upgrade or change paints why do it?This is why I don't really care about the new paint launching. I'll probably buy a pot or two next time I need paint, but I already have a all the paints I need for now.
>>98875115If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Also its a giant pain in the ass updating paints mid project. I'll maybe pick up the white and yellow. And the contrast medium. The rest i don't care about for now.
