40k documentary
>>98943519>TQStuff from other galaxiesStuff from other dimensions that aren't the warp
>>98943519>TQI'd like to see some chaos cults fight genestealers while both try to take over a hivecity
>>98943530>space wolvies dread>I live! I die! I live agai-ACK!
>>98943547That's an ultramarine dread you silly billy.
>>98943552Can't let truth get in the way of a shitpost.
>>98943552>can't picture an appleYes anon, good job at uour picture recognition! I am modifying the joke to be more accurate for a space yiff dread
>>98943540To expand on your answer, have you read about the Space Wolves contingent that actually did go beyond the ends of the universe so to speak where there are no stars and it was a black void but they actually stumbled upon a super intelligent race of beings and stayed with them for a long time but then something happened and those “beings” were not what they seemed and the Wolves just disappeared? Super creepy stuff, would love to hear more.
>>98943519>TQHonestly, I think they've shined light on too much.
>>98943564It's not an apple either, retard
>>98943565what book would I find they in?
I'm assuming this is just going to be a tantrum thread from all the "bans" yesterday.
>>98943570You're really not very intelligent, are you?
People who like Space Wolves have small penises
>>98943570sucks that its not. I’m really hungry :(
>>98943575Look up Svengar the Red
>>98943580tis only the fierce fenris winter that causes such shrinkage. when fully hot, you’ll find their cocks massive enough for even the greatest of Thunder Wolves.
>>98943565>no book reference/namedropThis didn't happen btw
>>98943584would you happen to have the page for the excerpt directly? I’m afraid I don’t own the wolves codices.
>>98943580It gets bigger when I pull on it. Sometimes I pull on it so hard, I rip the skin!
>>98943591Look it up you loaded sloth >>98943580>>98943589Don’t start with your childish games in a new thread
Post models
>>98943600Burden is on the one making the claim to provide proof. You can't just say absurd shit and expect others to go fruitlessly digging for evidence. Book name or gtfo, tertiary lorelet
uhh...
>>98943591It's in the codex. Some tale of old of a lost company.
>>98943608Feet!
>>98943519Battlefleet Gothic but Horatio Hornblower. Warbands in the eye of terror on daemon worlds becoming champions of chaos. Crone worlds and chaos eldar. Exodites. What happened to the deceiver. The war in heaven. Gorkamorka and the diggas. Inquisitors that are witch hunters instead of more reasonable men. Psycher training. Fifteen Hours but 15 different shorts about different cool new regiments. Farsight's corruption by Khorne. Spryer POV and political drama. Daemonhosts. Khrave empire conflicts with the imperium. Deathwatch vs interesting new xenos. Rangdan Xenocides. All the cool sounding omenous stuff in the timeline we get nothing about like >Siege of Eternity's Gate >The Pale Wasting>The Hrud Rising>The Abyssal Crusade >Most of the Black Crusades Lots of stuff. They gonna fuck it up tho.
>>98943612Was that truly so hard?
BIGBOUNCYBANSHEEBUTTS
>>98943580True
>>98943608
>>98943600Stop with the interpersonal drama
why do space wolves fans suck so bad at being willing to directly post lore or sources? it feels like literally player for a faction other than wolves is absolutely delighted by the chance to share an excerpt from their favorite lore tidbit (for example, just the other day when someone asked about admech liking to destroy planets, someone immediately chimed in with an excerpt of a magos from the forgeworld metalica called phal) but everytime a wolffag is asked about anything related to space wolves its always “erm, you need to look it up yourself”. what gives?
>>98943629Because we’re not your slave, we’re the Emperors executioners and Wolves players tend to have a more renegade style.
>>98943629Are you having a melty over a paragraph from a codex?
>>98943629see like take a look at this shit. https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/98929455/#98932478immediately off the cuff, and posting the full thing from the book. meanwhile the best a wolffag can do is post from a wiki >>98943612
>>98943629I don't know but it feels like incredibly feminine behaviour. Is it because they're always sitting on wolf tail plugs?
>>98943519>TQT'au auxiliaries that don't have models, although I'm sure Van Nguyen is champing at the bit to fix that the population genetic effects of every planet periodically having the best they breed scooped up and sent off to get killed in the 67th Battle of Planet Bumfuckistan
>>98943629Space Wolf fans are known for being unlikable blowhards with huge egos that tend to get banned wherever they go.

>>98943519I was thinking about sponsoring a local 40k tournament, but i'm starting to think my prizepool is too big for the small one-man store venue that is near me.Even if you stretch it out over Winter, i don't know if they will have enough refs or tablespace.
>>98943649Interpersonal drama is off-topic.
>>98943647Proved right almost immediately
>>98943657The rape will continue until morale improves (and he's gone for good)
>>98943519>TQCommorragh and their realspace politics and mercenary work
>>98943648just goes to show a lack of effort and love for their faction is all. I don’t even like space wolves, and was able to find the direct source, and it only took me a little longer than it would have to just lazily screenshot the wiki article.
The only things that the Russ would need in a refresh are:>HK missile and pintle storm-bolter/heavy-stubber in the box instead of as a separate purchase>redesign of the turret to work like the Castigator where the gun and mantlet are one piece on pins meant to slot into blocks in the turret (this would make magnetizing even easier)>resize the commander so he actually has a neckThe Chimera can ride as-is, it just needs a remake of the mould from 1995. At most, redesign the rear hatch so it can swing down as a ramp without modification.
>and he's gone for good
>>98943539It was alright. I appreciate that they tried to show wargaming as more of a social hobby rather than tournament play.
>>98943683I have the codex and can post the page if I wanted. You are thinking way too deep about this. Since a certain someone is known for reading wikis and watching sloptube.
>>98943683>Land Raider>works just fine at the bottom of the fucking ocean
>>98943710Go far enough underwater and you'll find land to drive on eventually.
>>98943710there’s land on the bottom of the ocean. duh.

>>98943767The thing is its supposed to be a kill team tournament, so the buy in is low. If people hear about it that might be a lot of players.

I should have just not read the bequin novels like people saidEvery time Bequin started saying shit that read like an excerpt from an HH wiki article that she has no reason to know about a little more of my soul left meAnd there were like 40 pages worth in the second book that were just "this is what happened in the last book and this is what person x looks like and what they did" as if you shouldn't be expected to read the first one first

I want an alien horde army but I can't decide between Tyranids and Genestealer Cults. Someone pls help me decide.Tyranid pros:>tons of cool models (biovore, raveners, neurotyrant, norns, gaunts)>far more likely to get new model releases than genestealersTyranid cons:>some really, really fucking disgusting models that actually make me want to throw up (haruspex, tervigon, exocrine mutant horse penis)Genestealer pros:>cool aesthetic of weird little dudes>all models are good, nothing that makes me want to throw up like tyranids have>have my favourite "model" in the game (alchemicus familiar)>can play tyranids in a certain detachmentGenestealer cons:>not true aliens, part human and use a lot of human equipment>virtually never get releases
>>98943943Yeah, all of that and also how the second book sort of dissolves into mahreens bashing in each other, it feels like writing mahvelslop capeshit has rubbed off on Abnett. I find the rocket ship cute thoughbeit
Getting into 40K and Necrons.If I build my army with Gauss Flayers, I can't use Gauss Reapers? I'd need to make an entire new army and attach different weapons to them or break off the attached ones?Should I even bother with Gauss Flayers or just use Reapers?
>>98943948Have fun painting those Genestealers, I'd rather slam my testicles in a meat grinder.
>>98943951"Plays as"You just tell your opponent they're modeled one way but you're running something different and he should just take a note of it before the game startsIf he objects, don't play with himIf you do it to purely take advantage of the meta, you're a jackass
>>98943955A long term painting project is fine with me
>>98943948Their obscenely biological aesthetic is one of the Tyranids' main selling points, so if you don't like the Tervigon's swollen birthing sacs and the horsecock guns and…the Haruspex then they probably aren't for you.
>>98943950Not going to lie, I enjoyed them but also know they're schlocky as fuck and there's a lot of things where I just had to shrug and go >oh Dan you silly bugger really? Someone needs to get in his email and just leak the 3rd book because its never going to get released as is.
>>98943951Anybody worth playing with isn't going to care that much about WYSIWYG. It's not even something most tournaments care to enforce; just make it clear to your opponent what you're putting on the table and don't try to gaslight them about it partway through the match.
>>98943963Yeah I didn't think a model could make me nauseous but the tervigon manages that. I really love the biovore and hormagaunts though.
>>98943928I was thinking more shit like the missing legionsPlus getting the training in the first place seems retarded since it's a school for cloned flesh puppets who don't need any of the skills at allIt's more the way its written though, like it's literally being pasted from a lore bible or wiki instead of how someone would actually speak>>98943950The fighting scenes have been fucking unreadable since Ravenor started, it's all movie choreography with wuxia style "but of course, all this that took minutes to explain occured in a second or less" shit to try and make it seem cooler

>>98944028Buying a box at a time is best for newcomers. Just one kit to start with and see how you like it, no sense buying up an army just to find out you truly hate the hobby aspect o algo

>>98944159Yeah, killing Eldar is a huge waste when they make for such excellent slaves
>>98944168Brother I love a grimmy marine. I want them to look dirty and worn.
>>98944179fair enough and carry on then

Dumb question: does anyone have a link to a 9th edition collection of the codices? I checked out the big archive linked above, and it's fantastic, but it seems to be missing alot of 9th ed books specifically. everything else I've been able to find in the archive or posted elsewhere online
>>98944195Vibrant yellow is a flex, but what he's doing reads more "Marines Malevolent" to me than a cleaner scheme would.
Why do people say yellow is hard to paint? Imperial Fist over grey seer is super easy
>>98944220Idk your mom loves it when I Imperial Fist after Grey Seering all over
>>98944206No
>>98944220Ignore the shitstirrer. Try the tone pro yellow my brother
>>98944220A lot of people use black primer and wonder why vibrant colors are difficult for them.
>>98943996Oof. Starting to only find high schooler art? The proportions are so off.
>>98944200Excuse me that is a hallowed relic lovingly preserved.
>>98944241damn, sucks. what a weird gap when everything else is pretty much there
>>98944206I doubt there will be much updated archives on anything past 8th until GW reinvents the wheel again.
>>98944277I actually know where to find all the 9th edition codexes but I hate everyone so fuck you
>>98943948seems like a pretty easy choicedo you like alien monsters or alien people? either way you can basically build into both and just depends on what you want FIRST

>>98944343It's weird you say that when our staunchest defender of primaris is a single digit iq lorelet
>>98944320Thats depressing to think about :(Idk man I just want to feel special. I know that's dumb and juvenile but I just want to do something that's never been done before. This is a problem ive been having beyond this hobby as well. I used to like to write stories and little D&D campaigns and make my own little mythologies and creation stories but in the age of AI it all feels pointless when anthropic or google's clankerbot can instantly write better and more interesting than I can.Everything feels pointless. Pic related: me every time I come up with an """original""" idea.
>>98944346Tu quoque Replying to such a cheap shot implies that you are, in fact, the one who is mad
>>98944319>all my ideas are just copies of someone else's ideas.THIS IS 40K ITS ALL COPIED IDEAS

>>98944355>staunchest defender of primaris is a single digit iq lorelet>"He must be talking about me!"
My army scheme is just transposed from an anime character, but you wouldn't know that unless you know.
>>98944355Why are you speaking for some random anon you don't even know? That's weird, unless you're actually him and faking being someone else which is also bizarre behaviour
>>98944359lmao
>>98944349My "original" idea for a guard regiment was done already by a BL book that I hadn't even heard of at the time of starting.My "original" ideas for TTRPG campaigns are usually a rewrite of something from a campaign module from the 90s I'd never heard of until it was pointed out to me.Even if you think you've come up with a "unique" idea, someone else somewhere (probably) already came up with it, and you're just unaware of it.The best way to think of it is what >>98944325 said"Good artists borrow, great artists steal" et alTake the starting idea, and then explore it and expand it. References are not bad in and of themselves, just make sure you play with the ideas enough to make them your own so it's not "literally the original concept, but in 40k."Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to paint some Banshees like Lum from Urusei Yatsura for my Craftworld
>>98944359>He knows way more than you and outmodels you 10 to 1 So you also know who I’m talking about by that description..two way street you disreputable bum.
>there are unironic primariscucks in this thread RIGHT NOWLMFAO
>>98944367>My "original" ideas for TTRPG campaigns are usually a rewrite of something from a campaign module from the 90sMy last Pathfinder campaign was just a mishmash of ideas from Granblue Fantasy after I played Relink+ the fighting game and read a lot of text dumps on the wiki for the gacha1/10 game10/10 jpegs
I like Firstborn and Primaris.
>>98944384>early Cold War era spy shit oneshot in CoC rules before even knowing Delta Green existed>murder mystery oneshot in D&D that was just a paraphrase of a Cyberpunk module from the 90s that I only learned about from a Seth Skorkowsky video 2 weeks ago>D&D campaign that was just the RuneScape quest Underground Pass and I didn't put the dots together that I did it until it was pointed out to meI'm an expert at aping ideas at this point
>>98944388There's no rule against thatBut one has been completely squattedIt's almost as if the split was retarded in the first place...
>>98944396So there's this game called Horus Heresy. They have the older MK armours in Nu-scale. pretty easy to use them in 40k, unless of course, You want to be a massive whiny faggot and not hobby.
>>98944395>RuneScape quest Underground PassHoly mother of good tasteRunescapes 2000s and early 2010s quests were kinoI had a subplot in a game that copied Elemental Workshop. The players had to walk a single ingot of a volatile metal compound through a long infusion process that produces the Plot Item (TM)
>>98943608Can’t wait for the new fat disabled muslim wych character to replace Lelith in the refresh.
>>98944402>You want to be a massive whiny faggot and not hobbyDon't accuse me of thatEvery one of my new Primaris units is just tacticals or sternguards with some bitz
*squish*
>>98944407Give even a single example of that happening in 40k.
>>98944402>They have the older MK armours in Nu-scaleDo they? Everything I've heard indicates that they require padding to get up to CSM scale, let alone Primaris.
>>98944404What makes it worse is in the middle of that campaign I intentionally copied the puzzle sequence from Recruitment Drive for a side-bar activityI just didn't connect the dots on anything else>Runescapes 2000s and early 2010s quests were kinoMy account turned 20 this year, so I'm more than in agreement with you.
>>98944388No! If you don't ritually sacrifice one to the other in a sympathetic magic ritual in great enough frequency the greater daemon running Games Workshop will eat one of the designers.
>>98944421The difference is negligible. And a downright retarded complaint considering mk7 shit pant poses.
>>98944412Lmao
>>98944388I liked firstborn right up until GE released primaris and I started to appreciate just how fucking bad Space Marine proportions were. There's a reason truescale conversions were so prevalent, just look at these fucking things.

>>98944412Hehehehe
>>98944444A miniaturised black hole bomb? Located entirely within the confines of that power armour? May I see?
>>98944436Unironically the opposite feeling.Once primaris came out I really appreciated how GW had perfected the heroic scale, especially with that kit.
>>98944438He was instead rewarded for removing a stinky embarrassment from the imperium
>>98944449the small head has always bothered me on this. Surely there was a HH head that would've worked better?
>>98944444damn, I didn’t realize the wolves were that good at making dummy people. that’s a pretty convincing dead guy.
>>98944436The issue with the tacs has always been the god awful legs. It's why the design tries to pull your eyes to the top part of the mini.
>>98944460iirc it was because it was the only marine head that was sadistically smiling which I understand desu. it wouldn’t hit the same if he had a generic grimace.
>>98944461
>>98944461Pointing out that space wolves like to gargle balls and get butt-pounded is on topic anon I have no idea what you're talking about
>>98944472Yeah, I don’t really get it what’s very “personal” about it. either way, I just like these models a lot :D
>>98944413It doesn't bother me at all but Uskar Creed(female) and her black cadians come to mind.
>>98944472>>98944474Right, teegee has always liked to clown on Wolvies, nuthin personnel about it. Real wolfbros take it on the chin, only autists take it to heart and have a shitfit
>>98943519dude, what happened to the 40k general? this thread used to be packed.
>>98944478Ursula being Creed's daughter helps, it's legacy rather than replacement. And being mad that some people on the entire fucking planet of Cadia aren't white is just softboy mode.
>>98944489
>>98944489Secondaries ruined it as they ruin all things. People who actually want to talk about 40k got sick of their bullshit and left. Now it's just schizos fighting ghosts.
>>98944478Yeah I love it too but Hasbro and Sabre, both with GWs permission, made their only included Space Wolf characters black fellows also. Both of them. Which I emphasise is very cool.
>>98944436Love that kit. I'd say I miss it if I didnt have about a 100 tacticals already lol.
>>98944499*happy gay yiff noises*Awooooo with me sisters?

>>98944489The unfettered power of a lolcow and an illustrated testament to the resilience of turbo-autism coupled with 0 self-reflection.

How easy do you think it would be to chaos-ify the saint Celestine kit?I'm thinking if I make good time with my apostle I could try and make a cute companion for him.I also have a spare gsc magus, but that would require sculpting hair since its based on someone irl
>>98944519We've literally had several other topics of conversation going each thread, also very narcissistic to think all the wolf shaming is because of one person. /tg/ hated SW before your interpersonal drama
How many hammerheads should I buy?
>>98944490>Ursula being Creed's daughter helps, it's legacy rather than replacement.Pure distilled copium.
>>98944528Not really. There always were a joke faction but the shitposting these days is literally here just to piss decalfag off.I'd love to go back to 3 years prior where I could post my wolves and not have some retard sucking me off. Or another retard having a melty at me for collecting wolves.
>>98944411By the power of grayskull...
>>98944533three in case the rules shift in their favor
>>98944525>since its based on someone irlUh oh, anon what creepy shit are you doing? Is this someone you personally know? Are they aware you're doing this?
>>98944539Dude show some composure amongst the heavy fire, so what if we’re attacked and it’s localized amongst one of the pack..we stick together and don’t ever fray from our defensive positions. The fact that you squeal like beta and beg for a time long past is a massive sign of internal metal weakness and gives our enemies the necessary ammunition to wound us. Fix your mind and man your post like the leader of your local pack you were always meant to be. Let the outsiders make their jokes and perform their mockeries, that means little to us within the pack.
>>98944388I like Night Lords and Blood Angels.
>>98944561Kill yourself. I told you not to reply to me.
>>98944508They've been replacing the Vikings with black furries for thirty years now. Shame. I'd love to collect some space Vikings if there were any for sale somewhere.
>>98944566Anon you’re way too low of a rank in the pack to howl and bark at me this way. Explain your grievances within the proper circles not here in a public informal setting.
>>98944576I hope for your sake this is just some elaborate troll.
7/10, second half of the book was far better than the first half. Tons of characters and constantly switching perspectives, made it a slog initially where other books have done it better. Surprising amount of clever "read between the lines" moments that gives the reader a better perspective of what's going on in the background and world building. The Slaanesh cult, rogue psykers, terrorists, and uprising workers are a good break from "It's genestealers again." Bait and switch. It's actually genestealers again, then the actual invasion. It's a pretty fun ride in the second half. No named Marines around , so the nids are allowed to be threatening and scary. Everyone dies.
>>98944581Mark as a troll post and move on, it's not worth engaging.>>98944585Never even knew this existed. Has anyone read the arbites books? Was curious how they hold up, if it's worth hunting them down for a read.
>>98944581That’s because you’re afraid to express yourself creatively you stupid nigger
>>98944588>Mark and remove! Kek! The low Iq mongrels mantra!
>>98944561Wow this is so surprising on true anon! Whoa!
>>98944593There’s an AI trying to trick us with typos now
Turns out we don't like to have fun here.
>>98944546Seems unlikely if GW are planning to shill biggerer suits again as per the rumor
>>98944619What are you on about?
>>98944625GW will shill biggerer suits again, then the suits will get nerfed because they're too good ICW the T'au codex that's rumored to be dropping early 2027, and then where will you be? The wheel turns round and round; what was high is laid low and rises up again
>>98943577>chapters themed around farm equipment/power tool brands

>>98944668Met my first 40krpg group in EC after about two hours of incompetent play. Game died, friendgroup died.
>>98944651It's been done.

>>98944668It's truly a shame the way they handle vidya. For the longest time they didn't seem to think of it as a proper form of media and just gave the license to whatever shitkickers they could pay cheaply and boss around. Now at least the success of SM2, Darktide and TWW has at least forced them to take things more seriously, but yeah EC was a pretty sad case.>>98944698Ah that's good, crisis averted. Sorry it's 4chan, one has to check.
>>98944687>>98944651Damn >>98944319 was right.
>>98944722Well hold on now. Hey >>98944698, is your gf a real woman or is this a gf (male) type situation?
>>98944743She’s my boywife pretty much
>>98944747>She’s my boywife pretty muchWhat
>>98944743This literally does not matter, only if anon thinks it's their gf when in reality it's some stalker situation.>>98944747Cute!
>>98944743>is your gf a real womanYes, I can have kids with her the old fashion way.Hopefully soon so I can teach them the good editions of 40k.
>>98944722While I would have killed to have the Planetside 2 esque open world fighting they were promising the moon to us with, even just polishing up the game from its initial shitfest would have given us tons of mileage. I'd have honestly been fine with the big team lobby shooter they gave us. Gah, I'm just reminiscing about having a fun game to play with my brother. Still though, with some luck maybe we'll get some leeway to something decently weird but still cool.An Eldar or Tau game would be crazy to even begin pretending GW would do, but honestly an action RPG of the former or a better FIREWARRIOR of the latter would be sick SHAS'LO, GET IN THE CRISIS SUIT
Man Terminators are cool. Repainting my Leviathan Captain I really appreciate the layers and bulk of armor. I wonder if Terminators really threw a wrench in balancing Space Marines cause they’re a hyper elite unit that comes in 5 and 10 man units instead of 3 and 6 like Gravis and “Honor Guard” kits.
I'm trying to justified using havoc cause I got a unit of itwhy would I want to use them over predator/vindicator or noise marin or even forgegfiend? maybe with huron so you can pop them in and out of reserve? but noise marine can do that too
>>98944784You don't have to just use what's most efficient, ESL anon. Use them because you have them and they look cool
>>98944784They ignore heavy and cover for starters. They also outrange noise marines and benefit from dark pacts. They also have a smaller footprint than the vehicles, can move into/through cover easier and are cheaper with more wargear options. Sure they're not the best shooting unit CSM have, but they have their uses.
>>98944784Rules are temporary, models are forever. If you like em, use em.
>>98944792>models are foreverUntil they get sold for $25 at a garage sale after you die.

We're talking meters to hundreds of meters. I can see Land Raiders fording rivers, crossing lakes. Maybe inland seas. But actual oceans, not really past the inshore continental shelf.

i think space wolves are fine, and hating it on the basis of memes or local schizo is retardedif kroots can ride lizards and orks ride squigg then riding wolves is finethe wulfen models were pretty bad tho and took it too far compared to the original version
>>98944944>if kroots can ride lizards and orks ride squigg then riding wolves is finenahThose guys are alien monsters and tribalistic in a nature, more primitive.Scifi superhuman in an advanced scifi armor with advanced scifi guns will feel off no matter what when riding a wolf
>>98944944The Space Wolves are alright and their anachronistic nature of being vikings in space is fitting for Warhammer 40k. It is just because of decalfag that is why people shit on the space wolves. It is to spite him.
>>98944951>and tribalistic in a naturebecause vikings arn't?
>>98944954nha the other guy is equally schizo imo
>>98944944I wish they focused more on them being pagan retards instead of le epic Vikings. "The rout" is fucking cool. I want more murderous retards who have to be reigned in via stern leadership. Not songs of old.
>>98944957yeah. Vikang theme is on top of a superhuman scifi elite soldier theme and it clashes terribly when taken to an absurd degree of riding wolvesRiding on bikes as a scifi reinterpretation of cavalry work fine though. Scars look ok on bikes. Would look awful if they were flanderized as Space Wolves and riding horses.
>>98944967>I want more murderous retards who have to be reigned in via stern leadership. Not songs of old.it can be both, but i don't expect GW to do any good writing
>>98944969My personal canon is that they are just barely hinged warriors as they were in the heresy. Animal symbolism being used as their heritage on Fenris is. Cult of Morkai is cool and I'll die on that hill.
>>98944968Needs to be more amazonian.
>hfw NNN
>>98944944It's mainly what this anon said >>98944954Only thing people truely do hate about space wolves is the "wolfwolfwolfwolfwolfwolfwolf" shit that's overdone to the point of retardation that only unironic furfags who want to fuck wolves would like. Like for example thunderwolf cavalry is too much and turns space wolves from something cool, into something incredibly corny and cringe.People universally liked the new primaris refresh for space wolves because it toned down the wolf autism and let the other aspects shine more. To be fair there wasn't a whole lot but they did add more of the viking aspect to them with the new SW captain that had that cool helmet that has a nose guard like some viking helmets had.I've used this analogy before, but people would meme on the salamanders the same way do space wolves if salamanders were just dragon autism where every special kit has dragon head helmets is called "the wyrmslayer dragon warriors", "drakelord clawveterans" "thunder serpent cavalry" and Vulkan He'Stan rode upon a chariot being pulled by dragons. Often times, less is more. And thankfully, GW seems to have learned that with the Space Wolves.
>>98944967Vikings are pagan retards though?
>>98944975That's kind of interesting. I wonder how common minor mutations like these are within the guard.
>>98945010SW primaris are just bland because primaris are bland, it isn't a deliberate choicetheir termie refresh got as much trinkets and iconography as the old ones
>>98945021>primaris are blandNot anymore they have gotten bunch variation.>anon is surprised that the veteran unit is more decorated than the rank file soldiers
>>98944511Is that le sassy girlboss female adjudant to le beefcakes who survives through her intelligence and cunning, and really knows the score unlike those STUPID MEATHEADS?!What a novel new idea from nuGW
>>98945039The best thing out of that model is that it made me realize the hand palm print is cool and I might use it for my guard regiment. I just need a "second symbol" for it and an idiot proof tutorial to printing my own decals at the right size at home.
>>98943519>>98943605Did a collage entry for November. A Blood Angels Plauge Marine. In reference to Dornian Heresy which I remember reading in my early stages of getting into 40k.
>>98945049>Only now noticed the hair on the right pauldronKill me
>>98945050Somehow videos/photographs highlight all the miniature painting mistakes. It looks fine when in real life from the naked eye perspective.
>>98945048Use it for orks too and see if you could sneak them in to a middle earth game.
Primaris? Don't like 'emI think at their core, they are the result of less talented/underpaid people GW now hires, throwing shit at the wall publicly and seeing what sticks.To me, 40k's most famous, most iconic, faction deserves better than this.You can see the original beer-belly Gravis you could tell were meant to replace Terminators, you can see the Vanguard Suppressors already consigned to the bin, you can see the new Sanguinary Guard.Even now they're just rolling the dice. 3 man Gravis squads, 5 man Gravis squads, 10 man squads with a special weapon each like Hellblasters, but then 5-man "Desolation Squads" in regular armour.And that's without going into the nu"lore" which fundamentally misunderstands the reason the setting was the way it was. But the pigs will honk and squeal regardless, and never really stop for a moment to question exactly why they're buying things or the quality of such things. They're too busy thinking about the Christmas FOMO box or buying 3 boxes of the current meta etc.
>>98945063I completely forgot about the LOTR orks using the white hand of saruman. Thank you for reminding me, anon.
>>98945048Handprints are fun tho good luck with getting the decals. Or freehanding it if you are crazy enough. >I just need a "second symbol" for it Depends what colour is the hand. But maybe go Northern Ireland route and add A crown.
>>98945081Those aren't yours.
>>98945081>Depends what colour is the hand. But maybe go Northern Ireland route and add A crown.I might have white hand as the flak armor will be a dark color it will contrast with well. And White hand of Saruman reference too.>add a crownI'm not really thinking of a crown. I'm thinking of something else. But I'll hopefully find it. I need to learn some graphics design to make the symbol by taking vectors off Google images and mashing them together and hopefully things will work from there.
>>98945081Nice
>>98945065This isn't true actually. All the first wave primaris design including the dumbest ones are Jes Goodwin, annoying knee flange and all. Desolation squad included. They dont even look as bad in his drawings. The sketches are floating around the internet but you know how bad searching/cataloguing/indexing etc have become they are a pain to track down now but they have been made available before.I got a bunch from a dakka dakka thread before but it seems they have been DMCA'd or taken down or something. If anyone wants to share I would appreciate Ill archive them on my personal device.
>>98944975If hes survived warp transit more than once maybe hes earned the right to requisition an implant.
HEY EVERYBODY OWEN HERE FROM GAMING WITH THE COOLER
>>98945065i agree on every pointespecially>nu"lore" which fundamentally misunderstands the reason the setting was the way it was.
>>98945065>throwing shit at the wall publicly and seeing what sticks.That was really only the early part of primaris around 2017, so almost 10 years ago. And it makes sense, GW was massively revamping their main posterboy faction, obviously they are going to test and experiment what kind of stuff they can make and will sell.And over time it has settled in making stuff that's closer to the older units/models. Which is fine by me. They are finally adding in variation to the armor and adding some bits and pieces from older armor patterns too.Also further evidence of this is gravis ironically enough, it's obvious that GW has made it into the new "devastator" marine armor, which again is fine by me because gravis continue the "big dude with a big gun in a big suit of armor" aspect that marines have.Also it's a fun step gap between regular power armor and terminators.Only thing I really hate is phobos, the unit ideas themselves fine, like it makes sense for marines to have vanguard/scout units that work ahead of the main force.But the phobos armor design just looks bad but also from a lore stand point how it looks makes no sense. I don't like the mismatched pauldrons and the thin legs don't look good.Phobos armor supposedly has more quieter servos in the suit, but that doesn't make sense because phobos is just mk10 tacticus but with plates stripped off it. Meaning the regular tacticus variant would also have the same quiet servos so it is stealthy but it would also have the full benefit of extra armor plating for protection.Also we already the mk6 armor which in fluff is THE stealth armor for marines, it's the reason why Raven Guard likes to use it. And it does not look any different from other marines armors based on silhuette.Phobos would've been much better if they were just pic related, they look cool and still retain the stealthy/techy aspects of them.
rip SM centurions btw, i kinda liked them
While "sneaky marines" has been a thing in the lore for a very long time it has always been kind of ridiculous. It also makes even less sense when you consider how many non-astartes special ops groups there are in the Imperium. It's always been a problem where space marines are written to have the capability of doing every kind of warfare independently with ridiculously small numbers even though they should be a small part of a much larger integrated engine of War the Imperium brings to bear. They can still be the tip of the spear and the heroes leading the battle, but they also minimize all the humans that should be supporting their war efforts with recon, intel, combined arms, artillery, secured battlelines, supplies, and fortifications.
>>98944944>if kroots can ride lizards and orks ride squig then riding wolves is finenot the same thing, for those two the animals are heavy built and are clearly meant to accommodate a rider and the rider themself is (relatively) light weight. meanwhile the space wolves are already heavy as is, but then are also wearing fucking power armor.
>>98945244like obviously the orks are going to be on the heavier side cause they’re tall and muscular, but with how little gear they have on, its likely only going to be 300-400 pounds at the maximum which isn’t extremely unreasonable for even an irl horse to carry. then you get to thunderwolf calvary, and they’re already going to heavy because they’re still tall and muscular like the orks, but then they’re also wielding heavy weapons and armor, and although there’s no definitive weight for how much space marines and their armor weighs, its going to bring the weight to 800 pounds at the lightest, and 2000 pounds at the heaviest which is completely insane.
>>98945244>the giant predator with biological and cybernetic enhancements can't carry a marineeh
>want to play CSM>don't want to paint trim>don't want to paint assembly line style of the same guy over and over
>>98945274use HH kits?
>>98945214GW gave up any pretence of marines being an actual military organisation as part of a scifi setting and not just a monthly toy release back with centurions.
>>98945277I'm not a racist, I don't HH
>>98945274Death Guard
>>98945278agreed, those and the flyers that I genuinely have never bothered to learn the names of were the beginning of the end
>>98945296I really don't want to paint guts, pus and puke etc
>>98945270>implying it being a predator factors into being able to carry 2000 poundsthe absolute state.
>>98945198And yet you owned none! Curious!
>>98945278i liked centurions, they fit in some chapters like imperial fists
>>98945304I own dozens actually, you just have to wait until I get off work, and I’ll post them.
>>98945198did more things go to legends?
Why does slaanesh worship transmute emperors children into weird looking freaks? Shouldn't they end up better looking at least some of the time?
>>98945316pretty sure most old SM vehicles did
>>98945327That's my huge beef with the EC line, there isn't a single Sigvald like figure. In fact yeah they are all monsterous and even disfigured.
>>98945198>centurionsNothing of value was lost.Press S to spit. Rip bozo.
Why do we hate centurions again?
>>98945354Because they look like shit.Centurions will always look like shit.They are stumpy little shits that look like half assed dwarves.Their legs and feet look stupid is as fuck because they look like they are tip toeing around and are about to fall over, their mitten hands look stupid as hell.Even the helmet looks shit because it just looks like a fat version og the Mk7 helmet that has been fed too much.The retarded hurricane bolters or missile rack arm pits look stupid and make no sense, since the marine's arms should be controlling the arms unless their huddled in it like, pic related which is even more retarded of an idea.Only good things I can say about the centurions are the shoulder pads look nice, the reactor they have is pretty nifty and their arm mounted guns and weapons are cool and the iron halo/range finder type thing is neat.But even these are only good since they can be used for conversions to make better looking centurions.
>>98945354Again? the only people who liked them were tabletop players since I heard they were pretty busted. But overall people were laughing at them since the begining.
We're not doing this 'Centurions are good actually' thing.
>>98945354They look stupid and were just proto-nuGW messing about with Marines instead of giving some of the other ranges some love.
>>98945274>Want to play marines>Not racist
>>98945354I don't hate them, but they were a symptom of GW being retarded.
>>98945376Woah get that cyberspic out of here.
>>98945385>cyberspicNachotech
>>98945285Half the setting’s racism. You may want the Tau instead. >>98945387Good name for a necron.
>>98945391Señor Nachotek
>>98945391Bro Tau are mega racistAliens are second class citizens to the Tau
>>98945399If that makes tau mega racist, then what about the imperium who consider aliens anti-citizens?
What's the one thing about the lore of your faction that bothers you the most?For me, it's the idea that Space Marine Scouts are the least experienced members of their chapter, not even having finished becoming full Astartes, and not trusted with full power armour. Scouting is such an incredibly important job that it feels really moronic to send guys who don't even have the full enhancements and have little to no experience out into the field, putting them in charge of reconnaissance and intelligence gathering..
>>98945399It’s probably better than becoming kinky furniture/gladiatorial amusement for dark eldar, slaves of necrons, slaves/snacks of orks, target practice for the imperium, eldar, or food for tyranids,
>>98945327>>98945338Mild hypothesis;In Fantasy and AoS, the options available to Slaanesh worshippers are fairly grounded and 'normal' even taking magic into consideration. As such Slaanesh worshippers in those settings strive to their excess much more naturally. A glutton will just get fat, an aesthetic will just get more attractive, and so on and so forth. This also comes with the underlying concept of Slaanesh worshippers being more 'upper class' due to their excesses being mire closely related to or reliant on nobility (the social class, not the character trait). For this reason as well Fantasy/AoS models will be 'cleaner' than other Chaos factions.In 40k, however, there is a two-pronged issue; Firstly, due to the nature of a aci-fi setting, drugs are much more prevalent and thorough for typical Slaaneshi 'excess'. Anything a writer wants their Slaaneshi cult to be oriented around can be turned into a drug. Naturally, drugs are not a pretty thing and drug addicts are not pretty people. The second issue is the over-focus on (Chaos) Space Marines in Chaos. Marines are not artists, or gluttons, or perverts, or any other 'upper class' niche. They are soldiers, they will always be soldiers, they will never be anything BUT soldiers, so their 'excess' only ever takes the form of sadism, violence, and rampant drug usage to accomodate them both, which in turn means they cannot be pretty.
>>98945417>What's the one thing about the lore of your faction that bothers you the most?Not a fan of the laser focus on Cadians and Krieg in the new IG dex. Before even recently we'd get some mention of regiments like the Anthonian tunnel rats or Ventrillian nobles, now basically nothing.
>>98945417Probably the stuff that necron destroyers may be worshipping/corrupted by the nightbringer instead of just being mad/obsessive. If it’s just ammentar’s warband that’s got the boner for the nightbringer then that’s not as bad.
>>98945417Space Wolves are the ones that get this right. Wolf Scouts are a specialised units made up of experienced Astartes, picked for the role because of their skills. And at least in their new figures, they wear full power armour (well, Phobos, but still)
Any good kitbashing ways to make a company champion for company heroes? I'm going to use two sternguard vets for the bolter/heavy bolter and the armageddon ancient for the ancient. Could I use like a bladeguard vet with a bolt pistol instead of the storm shield maybe?
>>98943683the space wolves could be almost cool if they weren't retarded>>98943710The actual issue is that even with space wolf companies being 'half chapters', a GC is only like 300-500 guys fighting millions of sea Tau.Also I'm pretty sure the guard or the navy have oceangoing vessels for sea combat in space.

>>98945461The company champion is effectively a bladeguard without a shield. Yes, you can use bladeguard model. There are a surprisingly large amount of bladeguard like models, and they all look virtually identical.
>>98945465Why not make a new regiment taking cues from the tatmadaw and other forces, like the vietcong?Most regiments are based on an archetype, rather than a single reference. There are exceptions, like the praetorian guard being inspired from a single movie.
>>98945461any marine model with a power weapon is fine, that's all he is.
>>98945461if you play ultramarines, for the ancient use the one from the 4th edition metal calgar squad, perhaps one of the best sculpts made by GW
>>98945278kind of a truthnuke, but what if marines NEVER had a pretense of being an actual military organization? like terminators are retarded in the first place, lets be real.
Remember when orks where the kitbash army?
>>98945214Real life stealth operations are basically impossible now without some sort of full-sealed armour setup to prevent heat escaping. Marines are unironically perfect for it. A lot of people seem to imagine stealth is being quiet and walking up to someone like a fantasy ninja.
>>98945490
>>98945492I remember when marines were an actual kitbash army
New models today.Done with the Raider.I had like 15 more models until I finished everything earlier today, then I just bought more Havocs and Terminators.Well, 25 to go now.
>>98945468>>98945479Ok perfect. Only issue I'm finding is that the bgvs are old indomitus push fit so the pauldron is a solid piece with the torso, the peg comes out of the upper arm; all my spare left hand bolt pistols are push fit and include the pauldronShould be fixable with a hobby knife and a drill, just gotta cut the forearm from the upper arm/pauldron and drill a new peg hole into the base of the forearm. then i can switch between the two easy. like magnetizing but for retards like me>tfw you look at a bit from five years ago and realize how shit you were at cutting from sprues
>>98945488Terminator armour was construction equipment for hazardous environments. Rhinos are tractors.
>>98945327> Shouldn't they end up better looking at least some of the time?Chaos is corruption, lies and self deception. Slaanesh gains power from how insane and deluded its followers are. They're all slaves to darkness, the lost and the damned. It doesn't work out well for them, none of them are as clever or special as they think they are. That's the idea.From another angle consider they think they gained physical perfection before their fall to chaos. They were already the prettiest boys in the legions. So they had to go further. Beyond whatever boring bullshit ideas mortals have about beauty you're clinging to. >but what about being so perfect looking its painful Tried that, got bored. Going to jam a boombox into my urethra so I can hear myself cumming out their ears now.
>>98943519>tqA badabesque civil war between a space marine chapter and its incoming primaris refreshments. Given the known distate some chapters had for them and the imperial tendency for infighting I refuse to believe there wasn't at least one case of this
>>98945492still kinda is, only army were your ramshackle shit mix of plastic won't look out of place
>>98945354There are many reasons to hate them. The first is that they look like shit. They were stupid in concept being a marine inside a marine. The pitiful defence of "um actually they're for sieges and stuff!!!" flew in the face of marines as a fast strike force and even more stupid when assault marines with jump packs already existed, teleporting terminators already existed, dropships already existed, vindicators already existed and even ironclad dreads already existed. At the time they were released, dreads and terminators had been shit for a long time and people were begging for them to be buffed to actually be good because of how iconic they were. Then GW released centurions which look like shit, completely invalidated dreads and terminators and were absurdly, retardedly OP on top of it. They were the start of "fuck you, here's some retarded bullshit we pulled out of our ass, now buy it paypiggy".
>>98945496Poor marine’s been attacked by milk.>>98945509They couldn’t risk having everyone side with the firstborn.
>>98945414That's speciesist you retard get it right.
>>98945509>>98945515grogs would have bombed gws headquarters if they highlighted just how inferior firstborn are
>>98945512Harsh but interesting explanation
>>98945442>What's the one thing about the lore of your faction that bothers you the most?Asdrubael Vect. He's so central to everything about the Dark Eldar that there's no room for any homebrew that isn't defined by how it serves him or how it opposes him or how it tries to escape his notice. He's all powerful and all knowing and utterly unimpeachable.Close second might be the utter inability for Drukhari to have any lasting presence in realspace because of the soul tithe, dramatically limiting both their ability to be involved in galactic war zones and conflicts and leaving them without any options to ever be narratively on the defensive.
>>98945493>full-sealed armour setup to prevent heat escaping.lmao that just makes you easier to find because you're hot you idiot. You'd need to add in magical reflective tech that makes all sensor returns look like sensor returns from the surrounding environment in a way that matches the rest of the terrain features. It can be future magiced, its 40k, but 80s ninjas is where the game is at, tacticool operators are that fantasy for 2010.
>>98945526they can only ever be on the defensive if, due to Vect's scheme, there is an invasion of Commorragh. As much as I hate to say it the only lead for multi-faction war in the Dark City is if he dangles Jagathai as the grand prize to get with several entryways open into the city.
>>98945544visual sensors are so 1990s. everything works on detecting heat now. if you can't stop heat from radiating a drone with smoke you.
I got audible credits and wanted to listen to some 40K audiobooks. Any recommendations?
>>98945570If you like necrons The Infinite and the Divine has a really good audiobookFall of Cadia was goodMy girlfriend falls asleep listening to Ciaphas Cain, she really likes those
>>98945498thats not exactly evidence of an actual military force, more like sci fi nonsense justifying using dumb shit just like centurions.
>>98945580is your gf a cute tranny?
>>98945574i bet this is really impressive looking if youre retarded or a silicon valley h1b indian or something
>>98945545Okay but why does Vect want a mass invasion of the Dark City? What ened does that serve?
>>98945590no she is autistic though but thats chill
>>98945598nice
>>98945596He does it to use imperial forces as essentially politically neutral hit squads. If he arranges thing for imperials to invade the dark city it doesnt come back on him if it cant be proved, and he can set it up that they just so happen to get entrance via the gate of one of his rivals.The imperials show up, nuke the spire of someone working against his (and largely the deldars as a whole) interest and once they are defeated he can come in with his forces to stabilize the situation.
>>98945574Why is it that ai vomit makes people stand awkwardly like calgar there? That off-putting, fake stance is so obvious.>>98945591There’s a difference?
>>98944871>Sponsons - slight redesign so they dont affect footprintI greatly despise the Dorn sponsons, I'd much rather have the MkV-esque bulky sponsons that the current Russ has.>re-add Conqueror CannonIsn't this just a shorter-range battle cannon+coaxial storm bolter?I'd love more options, but it seems redundant to me, even by Leman Russ standards.>add autocannonReintroducing the Storm Chimera gun would both instantly make the Chimera amazing on-table as an actual threat to elite infantry and light vehicles and invalidate every other main gun option on it.I'd love to see it though, having useful main guns in my light tanks would be nice>Salamander optionHaving an actual "light command tank" alt kit build would be a good addition to really buff up the Armored Infantry detachment to go with the Hippogriff and hypothetical autocannon Chimeras, I'd love to see it.
Building a LR for my guard army, but I’m struggling to find where I magnetize the turret top. Where should I drill/place magnets so I can edit the barrel?
>>98945613>There’s a difference?All indians are retarded, not all retards are indian
>>98945559>thinks I was talking about visual sensors Oh you're just dumb.
>>98945613>makes people stand awkwardlyIt can't line up heads, torsos, shoulders and hips. The proportions are usually a bit off but ai gen art isn't able to put the human form together because it doesn't work from that as a base, it just slaps together close enough from many samples. Its gotten better at horizon lines but those are still off too and it can't do comparative scale from the same point/distance so everything placed on it looks like a shoop from 2006.
>>98945090How can you know that?
>>98945619This is where I placed the magnets on my Vanquisher commander I just built for a general ideaMy placements are not perfect and my glue is messy, but this should demonstrate the general idea of placement for the magnets. I looked at the underside of the turret top to determine where there was enough internal mass to drill into, and then just drilled through both parts to not have to deal with aligning a blind hole.It's a bottom surface, you won't really see it if it ends up ugly; sand excess glue and paint over it and no one will notice.
>>98945619If you got the Horus Heresy Russ and know someone with a 3D Printer you could get one of those magnetic swappable gun kits like this.
>>98945654Appreciate the pic anon, thank you. Did you need to double up on magnets? Or was one on each half enough to make the connection between the two pieces?
>>98945613AI makes "average" looking art because its literally averaging a billion pieces of art to create whatever slop its prompted to makeThe average art it scraped is like a 5/10 quality, not deviantart mspaint sonic oc quality but on average mediocre, with the occasional good piece of art in thereAs a result it's really good at making 6/10 art and very bad at making 10/10 artBut who cares if it makes mediocre art, I don't want to look at mediocre
>>98945676I put 1 2x2mm magnet into the bottom in each spotI put 1 2x2 into the top in the front, and I overdrilled for the back 2 so I put 2 in those spots.2 magnets does make the attachment a bit stronger, so it's not a bad idea all-around. As you can see from the picture, the front two don't like to stick as much as the back two; I suspect the extra magnet is part of that (as well as some part warping).You have enough material in all those places to put 2 in the top half in all places if you choose to do so.
>>98945570What is your favorite faction? I can recommend “Angels of Darkness and Blood” it’s a bunch of good short stories about different aspects of the Dark Angels and Blood Angels(and iirc a good amount of Flesh Tearers). Good characters and you get to see why Gabriel Seth is the goat.
Gabriel Seth Primaris model when?
>>98945763Once they're finally out of pewter Ezekiel models to free up a SKU
>>98945734Any good imperial guard books? I’m probably gonna get fall of cadia and gaunts ghosts. But I’ve also heard the nightlord books are good too
>>98945768Does GW have a soft cap for SKUs at any given time they try to maintain? Don't they have like 6500 items on their website? What did they get rid of to make room for all the new paints?
>>98945807It's a joke. Nothing in that post was serious. GW doesn't have a cap on SKUs.
>>98945497Update, quick and dirty kitbash job. Cut the pauldron and drilled a peg hole in the bolt pistol arm. Looks good enough imo, might need to reprime the model, I think the wind fucked my coverage
>>98945802Gaunts Ghosts are some of the best BL books. If you read a few books you'll be in it till the end.
>>98944651>>chapters themed around farm equipmentBoy do I have a whole legion for you
>>98945559>if you can't stop heat from radiatingThey could probably use low emissions, and then switch to an internal heat sink during critical times
>>9894580215 hours is goated for IG, and as >>98945828 said Gaunts Ghosts is a good series as well.
They are cool minis, though idk if they actually fill any IG niche
>>98945882Best use I can think of for them is either kitbashing or a match themed around boarding an imperial ship. I may get some to use in a chaos army I’ve got some fluff/lore in mind for one day.
>>98945882the closest to the current rules would be Krieg engineers. they can all have shotguns as well.
>>98945882Voidsmen breachers are super underrated. I wish the Navis Imperialis got more books there are a few but they are very dated by this point. Only thing I would worry about is them sanitizing the topic, getting rid of things like the lower deckers and the almost feudal and tribal aspects of shipborn life.
Question regarding the venatari and their mines more specifically. In the rules it says 'once per battle, per unit'. I'm pretty sure that means if you have a unit of 3 models you only throw one mine, which is kinda stupid. D3 mortals to a unit for something you use once per battle seems a bit underwhelming. I know you're supposed to throw it into vehicles, but still...Also, I've heard a lot of people saying they're great. Against what? I've tried throwing them against different units and they always underperform. tried killing a 3 man crisis unit, costing half of what a venatari unit costs and they killed 2 out of the 3 with ranged+CC
>>98945947Each unit can do it once per battle
i really like kabalite warriors they are just funny little guys :D
>all these anti-infantry deldar weapons>almost no dev wounds to go along>pitiful APyes I know abandoned child and all that but why give AI 2/3+ so often, just so there isn't even more vitrol that they can't wound a space marine or custodian (that will make their saves anyway)?
>>98945882man fucking hate painting cable is there a good way to paint them?
>>98945968I got a soft spot for the Dark Eldar in how actually dark they make the grimdarkness. I remember reading one of the mandrake books and you'd have Dark Eldar on pleasurecraft calling out to slaves from nearby places to try and join them on it, just to see if they'd try hopping into the canal waters of evil chemical runoff and sewage and suffer a painful demise.Just hilariously evil stuff
>>98945882Their niche is the Imperial Navy (big space ship) combat personnel for boarding enemy ships or stopping enemy boarding operations if I recall correctly.
>>98945970You can hit AP2 if you stack the shardcarbine scourges and the +1 ap strat from kabalite cartel.Considering how much bitching I hear about talos being an "OP uncounterable unit" at my LGS because of haywire cannons, I can see why they didn't give Malys dev wounds on anti-infantry, despite her debut article kind of hinting towards that.
>>98945947I think they would've been better in 10th ruleset where you can RI as interruption and then maybe draw some attention before popping back off to reserves. Now you can stage them for heroic interventions or trying to snipe other 3-man specialists. Could probably go down to like 240 tho
>>98944436I like the squatty guys, they're charming, but it's true they weren't perfect. FW legs were even more fucked up.I think primaris didn't solve it, they just made the problem different. Nonetheless I like both, it's just that primaris marines need some extra work for them to be in a way I like them.
>>98945278nah that was primaris, centurions being mining equipment retrofitted into heavy armor used in sieges is exactly the kinda thing that would happen in 40k and they fit pretty well for imperial fists
>>98945148Nta but looking at the sketches vs the minis it's obvious something went wrong. The only sketch of a full body primaris we have is the chaplain and already there are big differences. Plus the robes hide a lot, so untill I've seen an actual full primaris sketch by Goodwin, I won't blame him.
>>98946034take, but probably better starting box than defiler one. However it's very well supplemented by said defiler box
>>98946040GW dmcad them all over the internet unfortunately
>>98945987>>98945930>>98945908>they can all have shotguns as wellI hear people call closed confines firefights "Zones Mortalis". Breaching an objective with shotguns sounds kino. Maybe they can do the close quarters fighting IG otherwise has to bring dumb smelly Ogryn for
I haven't found it on the internet, so I'm uploading this old Goodwin sketch here. Have a cool Mk7 Aquila marine.
I keep buying their products because I wanted to make a damn river bed but the sheer time it takes to dry a single 3mm layer means I'm working on the same diorama a month later.
>>98946034ZAMN!!!
>>98945464Additionally, what weapons do Marines have that would even work at the bottom of the ocean? Power weapons, lascannons, melta and the like are just gonna dump all their energy into the water and make a visibility-ruining steam cloud, bolters might not function at all and if they did I'd be concerned about the mass-reactive hitting the water and blowing up in your face…chain weapons might work. Meanwhile the Fire Caste are naturally going to have weapons and equipment specialized for undersea fighting in addition to their numerical superiority.
any real ass niggas here?
>>98946034battleforces should cost this much and combat patrols $100i think ill buy one at that price, cheers anon
>>98946069What Celtic influence is he referring to?
>>98946089Surely the color blue and red hair, at the very least. I'd love to ask the guy himself.
>>98946034If I didn't buy the one last year that had the Rhino and Havocs instead of the Cultists I'd probably buy that box, but I don't really need two Disco Lords.
>>98946034>34 models>20 are cultistszzzzzz
fuck that fake ass nigga horus. i wouldve kicked his ass in the heresy
>>98946083but how can GW, the small and obscure family owned company, possibly survive if they don't make a 500% profit on everything they sell?!
>>98946139It's not about survival, it's about maximising shareholder returns. The last dividend bought me an Immolator.
>>98946034damn thats what warhammer should always cost.
>>98946138It was just a prank bro
>>98946173i hate all these fake ass niggas so much cuh. these traitor bitch ass primarchs ruined everything
>>98946034holy shit cheers, youve sorted a christmas gift for me
Eldar guardians are now primed and waiting to dry. I need to be a lot more careful about faces though, one definitely is going to end up with the Thin Your Paints Syndrome once she's fnished. Glad I went with the cone heads on a few.Hopefully once I get these ones painted up it'll get me ready for painting the real models I went and got that are sitting somewhere in Japan
>>98946208nigga got dinosaurs n shit
>>98943605Raptors.
>>98946045Wasn’t there an old shotgun rule where if you were less than half the max shooting distance you got +1 to str of the shot. I’ve seen to many editions that all start to amalgamate into a gross miss remembering of rules.
>>98946218Actually friend, they are called dragons. Any relation to lizards from earth's past or any reptile mythologies is either coincidental or because the Terran lizards are actually Eldar seeding life on future maiden worlds.
>>98946268aite then nigga. mf got dragons n shit. reminds me of sumthing. i used to play this game called dragonfable in the library. it had frogzards
>>98946208wern't they rumored to have official models alongside the DEldar revamp?
Magos, inject more dreadnaught characters straight into my schizobrain
>>98946034I got pissed off because I fucked up attaching the dude riding the giant spider's reigns to the little node on top and I've been too demoralized to go back and try to fix it, that was like 3 weeks ago.
>>98943605Workin on my Collage entry, mostly done with the red for now and I'm gonna move onto the black and yellow bits next.
imagine if the map was actually bigger and you could stage with more vertical terrain and platforms and not feel like you just wasted movement because the engagement range is a fucking 2x5in cylinder just to fuck you over
>>98946302Only if you're brave enough
What is fat man talking about
Idgaf about your faggot e-celebs. You are retarded cattle
oh okayit's like a buy in november, get 10% off in december saleThat's not very good
>>98946365You just need multiple stories. Platforms at 3", 6" and 9" allow plunging fire and force opponents to use vertical movement to engage you, but don't create situations where you can fill up the platform and not allow your opponent to engage you at all. The 5" vertical rule is good, but default terrain that just has a single story at just over 3" makes verticality feel almost pointless.
>>98946395I'll just buy in November for 15% off from any online retailer instead.
>>98946395>voucheryeah nah fuck off
>>98946395But... They're not releasing anything new in December? What am I going to use a December voucher for?

>>98946438there's a weirdk ind of redditor that's 'afraid' of third party stores so this probably appeals to themBut also if GW is offering a '10%' sale, possibly other stores will have better discounts in december.
>heavily used model, random bits from wrong kits, but I could rescue it>it's an auction>seller has offers on>okay *10% more than what your starting price is*>auto rejectedWhy is this constantly the caseYour broken already painted random bits on a totally different kitbashed model is not worth that muchWhy the fuck are people always so delusional with used models now to the point where it's easier >>98946034to find gems like this (though I don't actually need any of the models in this box) used for a good discount.
>>98946578>, random bits from wrong kitshow is this bad
>>98946726because if you slap the wrong shit on a kit, the used painted random kitbash you're selling isn't going to be worth near-mint or whatever it is you're hoping to get and people need to stop being faggots and come to terms with that fact.
>>98946757how somini is unique, one in the world right now
>>98946239based on the SM codex, shotguns are getting Blast 1 on them. The scout shotguns have blast 1 and assault.
