First mini I've painted in a while, based on the Aylis-Nasturcane craftworld created from an old 4chan thread. Though my phone is old as fuck, I already see two problems as I'm working.
>the main blue isn't icy enough
On me for not having the right color on the start, but I think I can salvage it for the others
>the turquoise needs to contrast better
I think a more muted hue like the DoW image, so I'm thinking a darker green mixed in some ratio for the helmet to contrast it better. Glad my hands are a bit steadier, but I wish I had a whiter light for where I'm working on these. Still though, hoping these can be painted to support the Exodite minis I grabbed.
>TQ
Read an old Dark Eldar book (Path of the Incubus, looking at them now) that was quite enjoyable. Right now I'm also reading the Firewarrior novel. Good bit of old 40k fun in that.
>>
>>98952738
I like the scheme, I think it'll look even better once you refined it more.
I think it's mainly due to the camera, but if you feel like you need more definition of think a recess shade/pin wash would go a long way in braking up the colours you've picked.
Either way, nice work anon, can't wait to see more.

Yesterday I got some really cheap chinese lightbox. It comes with some led stripes inside and I feel it really helps the shitty phone camera to capture colors and stay in focus.

How much did it cost?
>>
>>98952747
>>98952748
Appreciate the advice anons
>recess shade/pin wash
Definitely a good idea. I was debating on making the lower portions of the armor seem more like a skin suit, but maybe I'd be better off just doing brown wash to the inner areas to shade the areas better. Any advice on what to pin wash in particular though? I'm kind of liking the idea.
>chinese lightbox
Oh that sounds cool too. Maybe I'll grab one once my hours get more stabilized, trying to work up some savings after some junk went down, so it may be a minute there.
>>
>>98952762
It was 10 euros. Half the price of the greenstuff world one.
>>
>they always parrot
>dont spend money on hooby tool, get your army first
but then what?
you finish your 2000 army with shitty tools and you have every second of it?
its like going to marathon and buying running shoes after the race while you do your race in a croc
>>
>>98952726
Half of those are different sculpts of each other, I wouldn’t be surprised if most Marine sub factions have more unique units. Kroot right now need support beyond one detachment, a Greater Knarloc model, and to be sold in boxes of 20 so they’re not the most expensive army in the game to buy. Then we can talk about a codex.

Unfortunately yes. Quite a few. My faction hasn't had many book releases but I've read all of them including the short stories. Some are good but most are bland and they're very uneven and not always consistent with each other or the codexes.

You're just gonna fuck up your expensive tools if you get them when you're brand new to hobbying. I'm not saying that to be mean, it's just the fact of the matter. You don't know how to take care of them yet and you're gonna be slow as shit building and painting your army anyway, you might as well learn how to do it with stuff you won't care about ruining.

Hey guys I'm pretty new to the IP watched a speedrun of space marine 2 and the new animated cartoon introduction by GW. I like it!

Ultramar has 500 worlds right? And the Imperium has 1,000 total? And I can paint my Marneus Calgars in any color I want and be canon cause there's a Calgar for every world right?

Weird amphibious komodo dragon xenos that work with chaos forces as mercs, Honsou had one from his time in the maelstrom (hired it from new badab) and some were on the chaos side of the gaunts ghosts books war. I think it would've been a neat lore tie in rather than "tau auxiliary species that hates the imperium" or whatever tarellians are. Like objectively more people know what a tarellian is than a loxatl but that's gotta be like a difference of 1 out of 1000. Anyways thanks for indulging my autism

My blacks just look bad to me as I can't add colour to make the shadows interesting. Most people seem to either edge highlight and make Tron homages, or layer up so many midtones they end up having to gaslight themselves that their blue/purple/grey miniature reads as black. I've yet to find anything that makes me happy after many attempts.

Sisters are tricky as if you stray too far from the black/white/red they stop looking like space nuns and become football players. My next attempt is church stone grey armour with the classic red fabric, black leather fetish gear, and gold trim.

Though you could add some 40k type bits to it, like skulls. Also Sargotta has a holstered pistol on her hip, you could add an empty holster to your model. Could also add another holstered pistol to show she always carries 2 pistols on her.

Bring back difficult terrain penalties. Moving through ruins and the like should be -1 to movement, and -1 to advance and charge rolls . For example your unit starts outside a terrain feature, with a base movement of 6". You want to go through a wall into the terrain, to get across the wall you'll only be able to go 5". You'll only pay the penalty once for all the dense terrain on the foot print. If you wanted to advance through, you'll get 5", and then -1 to your advance roll. If you wanted to charge on the same movement, you will also get -1 to the charge.

If not that I feel like the player going second should get a free overwatch that hits on 4+ that doesn't stop you from over watching again for CP. Call it "Prepared Positions", a little something for the player going second to at least have one unit getting an activation before getting run over.

You can get a general idea of how units should be used by looking at their weapons and stats. Use them how they should and it will usually work out presuming your opponents aren't seal-clubbing WAACfags

What are they even supposed to do? Outside of Brightlances their killing capabilities seem useless. It feels like some units need to roll consistent 6s just to have an effect.

>>
>>98953755

I don't know that it's sped games up really. You still have similar number of activations, and the time the player getting tabled would use for their activations is now used to stage and try to not get blown out T2. Anyone decent is pre-measuring everything for their deployment and F1 so they have at least something to clap back with when the new codex players are lubing up for a T2 go turn.

T3 armies are in a bad way in general right now (besides sisters). They just all got left behind by stat creep while Marines, Orks, and Custodes got loads of extra tools for wiping them off the board trivially.

You have MSU things you can hide and use concentrated force to kill only what you need to kill while your very fast and cheapish units do actions/score. The other option is to go all in with Yriel and Eldritch Raiders detachment and fuck some monkeigh up T1 with like, triple Wraithknights or something.

Speeding up would be fine but it's a game where alpha strikes can win games outright. 11th mission structure gives no reason to hold back, so if you get first turn on 1/3 of the official layouts a fast pressure army can decide the contest before the other player even gets to act. It's bad design.

Part of the issue is that it is so easy to max out score in the last three turns of the game and so hard to deny opponent scoring that the only reliable way to reduce the opponent's score is to wipe out half their army in the first two turns. I really think a lot of the issues could be fixed just by making scoring less generous and adding more action secondaries that require units to commit to things other than combat.
Close position deployment and bad terrain placement are another issue that just adds to it.

Why would GW ever allow that? The last thing they want is less reason for people to buy their models.
Having said that, we have tabletop simulator and that kind of shows part of the reason that we don't have such a thing. The game is a lot less elegant played on a digital tabletop than it is in person and it removes a lot of the tactile enjoyment of the game and your personal armies.

Especially with cover no longer benefitting the save. Frankly, a Cover Invuln save vs range attacks like in HH would do a lot of good for all armies, but especially making T3 infantry playable.
Like if you have the benefit of cover at all, you get a 6++ vs ranged. If you're entirely within the terrain, you get a 5++ vs ranged. Stuff that ignores cover, like flamers, would still ignore the invuln. That's fine.
It would at least encourage Guard lists that aren't just tank spam, or Tau lists that aren't just suit spam.

>I'll pick an army I will suck at
>wanted to start with something easier
World Eaters are very much a one-trick pony army on melee; I personally would suggest against that just so you are actually playing all phases of the game to learn.
Generic CSM or Death Guard would let you play all parts of the game decently well and be a good learning experience IMO, I would suggest looking there to begin with if you aren't completely sold on World Eaters. Don't take what I say as gospel, it's just an opinion from someone who doesn't play many melee armies so it may not be the most applicable of advice.

And FWIW, every army that doesn't have an 11th codex yet is going to have a bad time against an army with an 11th codex, so don't stress winning/losing. I wouldn't stress winning/losing much either way, but I understand how demoralizing it is to spend all that time building and painting just to spend the entire game taking models off the table (I play guard, I've shelved them for the edition because we need a full army-wide rework at this point).
>>98953825
11th meta so far has been "table your opponent by the start of turn 3, then max score on secondaries" because tables are too small, points are too easy to get, units are too fast and many units are too lethal; reasons off the top of my head, not all-encompassing.
A lot of stats need cut down and a lot of unit rules need entirely reworked to amend this.
>>
>>98953782
I'm just getting into it as well, I don't know if you have budget concerns but I've done a lot of research on the most points per buck

>Custodes (Less models more points)
>Grey Knights (Less models more points, but look like dew dew and need a refresh)
>Necrons (if you go warriors they have been printed to death and easy to get cheaply)
>Imperial Knights (Larger up front cost, but great point per dollar ratio, seen as lame by many players when actually used on the tabletop as they are swingy and kind of a meme)
>Space Marines (Literally printed everywhere and in every single starter kit ever)

I don't know what the best Army to start with is, but I can tell you from experience as a Dark Eldar/AdMech player what the worst armies are.
>>
>>98953832

Eldar has always been a combo army. You need to be really careful with how you stage and you really need to commit more than you think these days. Its not easy at all right now but if you have 200IQ you can maybe not lose horribly and have a fun game. You'll still likely lose though.
Here are the good units right now:
Asumen with 5 Avengers in a Falcon. You use his once a game ability and use the Falcon re-rolls to fish for dev wounds (since he crits on 5+). I've seen him punk termie units before.
Banshees. Anti-infantry 3+ doesn't care about your -1 wound marines. Decent attacks, decent AP, fast. -1D strays can cuck them but beggars can't be choosers. Pair them with Jain Zar or with an Autarch with Aspect of Murder in Aspect Host. Can run as 5 or 10 brick.
War Walker. You need one. -AP will make your Swooping Hawks and other units actually deadly and can cuck AoC. Swooping Hawks kill things with grenades/mortals and simple weight of dice with lethal hits with a war Walker.
Eldrad. Need I say more?
Yriel+Voidscarred brick in Eldritch Raiders. Absolute hammer unit with the +D Strat.
Avatar. Not really killy, but a great distraction carnifex, and helps your melee units with the charge aura.
Shining Spears and Dragon Knights. Great profiles, fast. They aren't exactly the same but they serve a similar role.
Fire Dragon with or without Feugan. Yeah you're going to shoot them into infantry sometimes. That's fine. They kill what needs to be killed. A big brick in Seer Council is funny when you teleport them on-top of something your opponent doesn't screen well enough.
Lykhis+ 5 Spiders is used almost always to get 5+ Crits on something you need dead. They're amazing at scoring and killing screens or backfield objective holders.
Seer Council death star is still ok. That's a Farseer, guardian, and warlock brick.
Everything else is situational right now. Fire Prisms are still OK. Dark Reapers see play sometimes.

It's too easy to kill a lot of units so everyone is incentivized to spam the few hard-to-kill units and it just becomes an arms race of who can counter the other guy's counter harder and with less risk
>t3 hordes get cleared too fast with stat creep and blast/cleave (but only flamers, indirect fire is still shit)

Honestly the books are the only thing really keeping me interested in New-GW. Though the encroachment of modern politics in some of the newer books is starting to drive me away from some authors.
>>98953876
I would strongly suggest getting an army that you like the lore of and like the look of. Getting something that is “meta” or cheap is subject to change and you can quickly not give a shit about them(makes it really hard to sit and paint or want to play when they aren’t good). If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck it’s going to take time where you’re looking for sales or combing E-bay for some dude offloading his army. Most armies have multiple ways to play them and you can really make your force your own by getting good with specific play styles.

Valrak says Vect on a new big boat with a bunch of aliens instead of slaves, new Kabalite Warriors (which is supported by the Hand of the Archon getting deleted from the web store), and some other boat thing that he doesn't specify.
Presumably if they're changing the Kabalites, they want to change the boat that is central to the army and that is covered in them at the same time too so they aren't advertising old Kabalites and New Kabalites right next to each other.

just enough rules changes that slow rolling out codices means it plays like shit for 90% of armies

i also really dislike the direction the new codices are going in. instead of a detachment giving you bonuses for how to play an army, it's just
>pick 3 keywords to buff in your army.
And then just doing your best to find the most broken way to apply those three keywords in stupid combos. I don't think the new detachment system is working too well.

The 3dp detachments feel like such lazy afterthoughts, I don't know why they even put them in the new codices. And the problem with everything being 1dp initially is that it's almost impossible to raise them to 2dp without just making them unplayable because of the opportunity cost. You end up losing out on an additional army buff and another 3 possible stratagems. The lack of 2dp detachments is really hurting the design space. The big other issue is just how many of the new codex detachments have the unique tags. Instead of making multiple 1dp detachments with unique tags, combine them into a new 2dp detachment. We are 3 codices into this edition and it feels like it's still a first draft of how this system is going to work in 18months.

Land Raider has 4 lascannons and a multi-melta
Land Speeder has a multi-melta and an s10ap-3 missile launcher
One of each is far more than enough anti-tank going by any other army's standards.
This is the part where you now pretend primaris marines don't exist and then continue to act like the stereotypical entitled marinefag, but somehow even worse because you refuse to use the options available nor swap to a way to use more firstborn (ie Grey Knights).

It won't be that much worse. GW uses the same team for their elves so you can expect nu Eldar tier models. Hell, it might even be Jes designs since GW designs them 2 years in advance.

I used to get 8 lascannons for 240 :^)

Do you mean pic related? You get all the options to build the Valiant or Castellan and the Armigers as either Warglaives or Helverins in the box, but you should still bother to go and magnetize the weapons on them so you can swap between them. It's piss easy to magnetize Knights and there's a bunch of tutorials online on how to do it.

>>98955177
I'm also torn between this, but to be honest, DG have more interesting models right now. WE have pretty cool lore, the most metal aesthetic and the few models they have are cool, but it's such a small range currently. APPARENTLY they're getting new models this edition but I'll believe it when I see it.

I think they'll get a small wave 2 with their codex, but I don't see that coming out before winter 2027 at the earliest

>>98955250
The datasheet has to match what is on the box
The box is Red Corsairs Raiders, they are modelled as Red Corsairs with Red Corsairs imagery integral to the sculpts (fist icon on pauldrons), ergo they must be Red Corsairs.
This could be solved by removing the fist from the sculpt and making it a decal.

True, but his complaint is the unit name, which is always based on the as-intended kit build, so will therefore always be "Red Corsairs" even if your models are something else.
>>
>>98955263
there's enough pauldrons to ignore any RC iconography
>>98955267
thats my point, it says "Red Corsairs" on the box, but why? Obviously you can build them as whatever you want, you can buy a character and call him something else
its a direct statement to say "these guys are Red Corsairs" and thats odd when thats just not something they do with other CSM factions
>>
>>98955269
Mandrajes from the new KT are step copies of 5 super mono pose models with weird spiral cuts that prevent exchanging anything other than the two options each model was built for. Only some of the arms are completely interchangeable. Even the heads are bisected vertically with faces and hair as weird half pieces.

New Kabalite Warriors probably will not be as bad though, and I assume they will at least be interchangeable with all of the heads and arms from the old kit.
>>
>>98955277
>there's enough pauldrons to ignore any RC iconography
>>98955273
They're intended to be Red Corsairs, so they are named that.
You can run them as anything, the datasheet is just going to say Red Corsairs.
My guardsmen aren't Cadians, but their datasheet is. Same principle.

They're supposed to be debauched, excessive hedonists and perfectionists in everything they do and what we got was pink marines wearing faces on their pauldrons and Coneheads.

There is no debauchery (because nu-GW). The only "excess" is in the Noise Marines being able to turn a Rhino into a party bus. The only "perfection" is in the Flawless Blades' schtick. They just feel like they're missing 2/3 of their army, and what is there wasn't thought through very well to begin with.

I wonder if, since Big E is the god of humanity, his corruption isn't obvious because his worshippers are also human. I wonder if you would see the same kind of corruption that the Big 4 give to humans if Big E was worshiped by xenos?

Instead of growing a 2nd asshole because you worshiped Nurgle, worshipping Big E would remove all the fur/scales off a xenos?

Big E likely isn’t a Chaos god, that’s pretty much confirmed with him avoiding becoming the Dark King at the end of the Heresy. He wouldn’t corrupt anyone in the way the Chaos gods do. The Primarchs and Space Marines by extension were made using secrets from Chaos, and considering the meta aspect of Space Marines being sci-fi Chaos Warriors it’d be more likely that Space Marines are closer to what Big E’s corruption would look like (in the Dark King timeline)

I would like to nominate the winde rider brick with farseer and warlock skyrunner. shuricannons on thr windriders, singing spears on the warlock and farseer. thats 18 s6 ap-1 heavy bolter shots with lethal hits, one is gaurenteed from the farseer, and they all ignore cover thanks to the runes of battle ability from the warlock ability. Thats not even going into all the other weapons, but the unit is really killy into marines. Been meaning to try the unit equiped with scatter lasers and war walker support to pump out 36 S5 Ap-1 shots at 36", all with sustained 1, to see how well it does in comparison.

Marines could be way more interesting but GW is genuinely scared of it for some reason. Look at the Chaos marines, they're just recolours when they should be something vastly more fascinating.

I guess, sort of.

>posts an illustration
Death Guard are mildly interesting
But look at Emperors Children, they're just dude pink marines sometimes with a speaker, Thousand Sons are literally blue marines with an obnoxious headdress, World Eeaters are marines but red
Someone is desperately trying to be creative at GW but then their ideas are stifled through committee so bad that it's just marinesloppa

CSM have been marines but slightly more spikey since before 90% of 40kg was alive

>it's always been this way therefore it's good :)
Is this seriously what we're going with?

Marines are nearly perfect, the only ones who want to see them mentally dissected are the same liberal/Xeno scum who want Warhammer to be for “Everyone”..disgusting.

What, what do you mean that ruins the dish? Is this seriously what we're going with?

>>98956297
Yeah. CSM players don't want to be different either. They just want to play marines while pretending not to be a basic bitch marine player. It's why they always beg for 1:1s of anything marines get and complain about chaos stuff.

The EC range is pretty sad compared to some of the absolute degenerates in the books, but in general, what do you want? The average traitor astartes is a regular-ass Space Marine whose Primarch or Chapter Master decided to quit the Imperium at some point, so there's no reason for them not to just be palette swaps. Ksons hate the flesh change and do everything they can to avoid it, much to their patron's amusement, and World Eaters are just angry and roided up on Chaos to the point that they can break their armor by flexing too hard. Outside of Death Guard, there's really no fluff reason for CSM or the cult legions not mostly just being Space Marines with extra spikes, skulls, flayed skin, etc. to let you know they're the bad guy faction.

Shrimp and prawns are different animals and first world nations de-vein then before cooking brownoid

>>98956302
>mentally dissected
Surely that's not what they want; practically every other SM/CSM book spends almost as many pages ruminating on the transhuman condition as they do on bolters doing their thing.

Space Marines are already interesting and relatable, and modelwise there are several factions that need a refresh more than SM+CSM+cults do.
