Tubes Edition>Thread QuestionIf Joytoy started doing another Warhammer game (Necromunda, The Old World, Age of Sigmar) which one figure would you really like to see from it?
>>10926331>Thread questionAn ossiarch bone reaper basic infantry, or the big winged guys (pic).
>>10926331These mfers right here
>>10926331>TQOne Kroxigor Warspawned, please
>>10926331>questionI'd fucking kill for some The Old World figures. being able to army build a Landsknecht mercenary company or a Tercio would be fucking amazing.
>>10926331Best price you've seen on this big-boy?Around $164cad on Aliex for me, not ready to bite yet.
>>10926436>$164cadThat's like $120 USD...by far the cheapest price I've heard of so far. Can you link the listing? Does it include shipping?
Is anyone else feeling uncertain about the 30K Imp Fists? The early reviews on YouTube make that yellow look kinda cheap...paint seems sloppier than usual, too.I hope it's just teething issues and they work things out by the time they get to the SOH Beakies.
>>10926331I'd pay so much money for this, if Joytoy knew what gold actually looked like and wasn't giving us 90s kenners quality plastic gold on a $150 figure.
>>10926562oh, the schizophrenic guy is back
>>10926543https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003401360703.htmlKeep in mind that is with discount codes and some coins.
>>10926570Maybe I'm just not understanding something about the conversion, but it seems like our starting price is higher? According to that screenshot, yours starts at $201 CAD ($148 USD) but for me in the US, that Horus listing starts at $173.50, or $235.72 CAD.
>>10926331Skaven. All the Skaven. Goblins too.
Am I the only one collecting the AdMech releases? All I see is space marine this, space marine that
>>10926698I mean, I bought them. But I've only really displayed my Dark Angels as that's the army I collect for the miniature game. Still holding out hope for some Thousand Sons, Eldar, Dark Eldar, etc.
>>10926702Oh, are you the one who is renovating a room for your stuff? Fair enough, and looking forward to the final result if so.I guess I just feel like I've never seen other people posting Skitarii or Kastelans so far, so was just curious. Was also curious if anyone else had messed with the Kastelan hips, I feel like a small tweak there could improve them
>>10926331I want necromunda gangers fucking bad. I'd buy an entire Delaque and Escher gang.
don't know what to buy next.
>>10926957What do you have already?
>>10926957What do you like?
>>10926698They're a lot of fun
>>10926331None. More Cataphractii, more Contemptors, more Castraferrums, more Lightning Claws, and to a lesser extent, more Indomitus Terminators..
>>10926971I have>Crimson Slaughter Brother Maganar >Ultramarines Terminators Brother Caesaran (powerfist + bolter)I can' decide between pic related.The main problem is that while the Sister makes the least sense, it's now at the point that I either buy her now or never cause she is almost sold out at every shop I would buy from.
>>10927396Sisters are great, especially that one there. I'd say go for her, then one of the jump pack Marines, as going for variety is better than the same, but slightly different. Was the chaos marine a normal legionary, or the terminator armor guy?
>>10927396Where are you buying from that has prices that high? Is Aliexpress to Europe that expensive?
>>10927419>Was the chaos marine a normal legionary, or the terminator armor guy?pic related, was my first action figure in ~20 years.>as going for variety is better than the same, but slightly different.I do love termies tho.>>10927423local stores, sellers on amazon including amazon themself are even more expansive.Aliexpress is not that much cheaper for me to be willing to deal the annoyance of Customs or any kind of chinese tomfoolery.
>>10927454I know it's not very helpful, but you honestly can't go wrong with any of those figures you posted. Those prices do seem too high though. If you want a figure to go along with the CSM you have, the chaos sorcerer in terminator armor is an excellent choice. Those UM terminators are also fantastic (the missile rack one you posted is my favorite) and the vanguard veterans are easily my favorite basic infantry marines released so far. The sisters are all good too, but I have never been a huge fan of the Argent Shroud color scheme.
I need to vent about this: I'm getting tired of all the secondaries in this "community". Like I don't give a fuck if you don't play tabletop Warhammer or get your lore from YouTube videos sure, but I sure am sick of the constant>but why does figure have xyz? Why can't Joytoy change it to etc?Because the figures are based on the models, their equipment is what the models have, no you will never get some weird OC donut steel crap or random equipment that doesn't exist in model form, stop asking.If it doesn't exist as a model, you're not getting it, simple as.
>>10927454Surprised you haven't gotten a chaos terminator, then. Personally I'd go for a slightly more different terminator, such as a blood angel one with hammer/shield, or twin lightning claws, or a deathwing terminator, but that's also because I'm not a fan of the big ass dorky rocket launcher rack lol. I do share in your affinity for terminator armor, and plan on getting a cataphractii, and hopefully later they release a tartaros pattern as well. I got the original chaos terminator (with storm bolter and power fist) and it's still one of my favorite joytoy figures, even if his joints aren't the best. I'd recommend getting the newest red one, though, because of all of the improvements, such as TWO comi guns, better joints, and lower price.
>>10927539>I'm getting tired of all the secondaries in this "community"This isnt /TG/ & No one here gives a fuck about your opinions because you are the second most cancerous person on here behind subby. Simple as.
>>10927539>sperging out over something no one was talking about>posting an offtopic shounenshit reaction image while spergingfuck off back to /tg/ or /a/
>>10927454what is customs? does it mean you have to pay more? cause i just got those vanguard vets for $31 each (24 GBP) including shipping. your shops seem massively overpriced
https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Xu21eaVJZuyz_hybsmkh4ASternguard veterans. The combi-weapons are nice I guess, but they're a little dull. Easy skip for me.
>>10927714Couple of interesting things to note though, the height is noted as 12.1cm, while the recent SoH MkIV tactical squad is 12cm.And you can see the old c-shaped weapon-barrel-supporting type hands are back.
>>10927716>heightAs another comparison, the recently rereleased Sigyr Stoneshield Space Wolves guy with all the accessories, hammer, axe, shield, etc. is listed as 11.7cm.
>>10927714God the old kit was so much better. Look how cool these guys are, look at all those fucking OPTIONS.
>>10927714They aren't particularly interesting, but they do look nice. The white trim white helm combo always looks clean. And Smurfs just look so right with the loincloths. It would be a nice wave for a newcomer.I actually quite like that Mk.X helm with the cyber eye.
>>10927716>>10927717Wait, that would make these guys huge. Are these actually all-new sculpts at the new size they talked about? I'm kind of freaking out, it's sort of like the line we were collecting just effectively ended. And they had built up such a massive parts library too...this makes no sense.
>>10927729they're copying Games Workshop for maximum effectTime to upgrade, chump.
Now that we're all bitching about size:If the deamon primarchs are going to be over twice the size of the current ones released, they'll be fuckhuge and priced accordingly. So basically I'll be paying more for something I don't want this way.Isn't there some lore justification for deamon primarchs being reasonably sized sometimes?
>>10927714>no beakPass
>>10927869you mean stop buying anything new that isn't chaos so you can pretend that spending a Millennium in the eye of terror made them extra chonky.
>>10927601>chaos terminatorsI think you mean the black legion ones? they were never an option cause they all were well above 100€ here. The Word Bearer one could have been my first figure but he was always sold out when I had money to spare.>other legion TerminatorsThe idea of only getting one per Legion/chapter died once joytoy decided to make the DA ones significantly bigger. While they do look the best I'm not a fan of the DA and don't need them to cast a shadow over my other figures.>I'd recommend getting the newest red oneI have no idea which you mean>>10927457>but I have never been a huge fan of the Argent Shroud color scheme.I do like the female knight aesthetic and they scratch that itch the best.
>>10927873They're part daemon, they can manifest however they want. But you're not gonna get small daemon primarchs, they're canonically big fuckers and Joytoy goes off model scale more or less
>>10927714At this rate I'm going to buy some 3d printed Aquila helmets for my older figures and just pretend they are firstborn with modded/salvaged armor.>>10927727Just speculating, but they proba ly went with this one due to GW shilling Primaris everywhere
>>10927714>Easy skip for me.I was thinking that too, but I do kind of like the guys with the bolt rifle and the heavy bolter now that I have looked at them more closely. I might get one of them if they're cheap sometime in the future, but otherwise, this is definitely a pass.
>>10927454As another Eurofag dealing with customs (it's 25-30 % here) I buy all my JoyToy stuff from CoolToysClub. No custom fees, no shipping, and you pay the regular price everyone else pays. I've been using them since the beginning, otherwise I'd never have bought more than a few. I kinda feel guilty for not supporting the local importers, but the prices are just too bloody high.
>>10927714Ugh, should have been the original kit honestly, these look awful by comparison
>>10927727The new kit has a lot of options too though.>>10927985They went with this one because they are adapting the Leviathan box set to figures, these are the monopose vets that came in the box. It would have been much better if we got an adaption of the new multipose kit that was released after Leviathan instead but they are doing Leviathan only for now.
>>10927716Meh, looking at my original blade guard vet, it's like a 0.5cm difference, which just feels like nornal human variance.
>>10928219>Adapting Leviathansooo does that means we'll get nyds soon-ish? asking for a friend
>>10928458Fingers crossed, as we did see a little termagant ankle!
>Primaris Space Marines Bladeguard>Space wolfgets a cool wolf pelt cape>Dark Angelgets 6 hands and 2 heads>Blood Angels, Imperial Fists, Black Templarget nothing extraall of them cost the same price tho.
>>10928451yeah, dudes. You want everyone of your figures to be exactly the same height?I mean, who even cares about scale in the first place? You're just as bad as Subjectanon.You should be excited for all the new shit coming out! Just buy it!
>>10928621This is called "subsidizing." For example, if your retail priced wave has the Hulk in it, you offset that cost by also putting in a Black Widow, who uses substantially less plastic. The Black Widow buyers help pay for the extra cost of the Hulk buyers. This is nothing new, it's just how business is done.
These 30K boys are big guys for me.It doesn't bother me that much at this point, but I wish they'd stop promising more and more scale creep to come.
>>10929193Is that Tor a knockoff? It looks way too clean
>>10929208There are no JoyToy KOs. Maybe homie wiped it down with some paint thinner until it was just worn enough.
>>10927396I've got the red version of that sister with sword, and she's nice. The sheer size difference between her and a Chaos Marine is also fun if you want to pose them together, it really emphasises how huge they are compared to normal humans. I (hopefully, barring Chinese tomfoolery) have the assault marines on the way, I believe they come with flying stands as well.>>10928192I'm in the UK, which is probably a worse situation than you for all sorts of reasons, and I've tried using Gundamit. I know there was a guy in the last thread who was looking for the Ultramarine ancient with banner, and for what its worth its on sale there for 55euros rather than 80 something.
>>10929453you mean the vanguard veterans? Yeah they do have flight stands, they're basically the ones that Shadowsun came with, except with grabby c-clamps instead of a peg to go into them. They're alright, they can go pretty high, they may be a bit loose when they come but if you tighten them up with a screwdriver they're fine. I just prefer a peg, having them being so obviously held around the waist doesn't look great to me. I did try clamping them onto the jetpack instead, but it didn't feel too secure to me.I'm in the UK too and I've bought all my stuff from cooltoysclub with no issues, no VAT and customs.
>>10929453put a beak on it!
>>10929756what figure has that sword?Also how can it be that we still have ZERO Chainaxes?
>>10929895The newer captain in gravis armour I think.
>>10928458Unironically and totally serious: yes. We are supposedly getting Termagaunts and Warriors. No giant bugs planned so don't get your hopes up beyond getting those two.
>>10929936Ooo, Warriors would be amazing. I was expecting just gaunts. Hopefully we'll get all 3 types and not just the neurogaunts.
>>10929895Just get a 3D printed one. There are even people who sell them prepainted now.
>>10929756It's kinda crazy to me how much you've probably spent to get all the parts for your kitbashes, but I can't deny they look great.
>>10926331>mfw t-rex arms on new fists
>>10930374Are we witnessing the collapse of the JT 40k line in realtime? Is it over?
>>10930378It's accurate to the models. Stop being autistic.
>>10930374his shoulder is higher so the arm doesn't reach as low.
>>10930374height autism aside, the different yellow tones would drive me insane.
>>10930374I like the new proportions of the Mk III. Primaris gargle balls.
>>10930210i sell most of what I don't use but yes I'm probably crazy.
Will we get more new legions chapters this year?
To return to the subject of the Rogue Trader artwork with/without the ork head, it must be the RTB01 box I was remembering.
>>10931084touché
>>10926436I paid £89.82 ($113).
>>10927454I have bought tens of thousands of pounds worth of stuff from ali and never paid one penny in tax of any kind.
>>10926436>buy it when it comes out on prime>return it with a mcfarlane fig inside$20
>>10929453>I'm in the UK, which is probably a worse situation than youIf you order over £135 on ali there is no shipping fee and I have never, ever paid import duty as they mark it right down even if the box is huge.
>>10929936why no genestealers? Way more iconic and we could play Space Hulk in 1/18.
>>10930435Just tell yourself they're 10,000 years apart so there's going to be some drift.
>>10931084Okay, secondary.
>>10931084wow, it still looks awkward even without the head. It's just an awkwardly drawn arm no matter how you slice it.
>>10931111Pay attention Anon, did you see any Genestealers in the Leviathan set?The Warriors WERE unexpected though but from my understanding is that GW asked them to make them since they had no plans of making any big bugs but still wanted one "elite" figure.
>>10932250Wait, we've seen the ankle of the gaunt, but where are you getting warriors from? Don't get me wrong, I want as many 'nids as possible, but I haven't seen anything concrete about warriors.
where can I check for leaks or future releases for the horus heresy models? Ive only preordered Horus and abaddon, currently looking for sigismund and rogal
>>10932435>currently looking for sigismund and rogalThose two were announced a while ago, I got my Dorn at the end of February and I think Cool Toys Club is shipping their sigismunds preorders nowAs for leaks there's apparently a joytoy discord server, but I don't know anything more than that, and I get most of my news either from here or a Twitter account run by someone in that discord called joytoywarhammer, which is usually posted here afterwards
>>10926562it's not gold, it's brass
>>10932481Curious when the Warhammer Merch store will finally start shipping Dorn
>>10926331Horus looks like a mouthbreather, ngl
>>10933113he definitely is
>>10933113you mean all those tubes don't get enough air into his brain?
>>10933113>>10933145He's probably on life support due to being on the verge of death multiple times. He's the Imperium's greatest warrior (close combat).
>>10933205more like imperium's biggest baby
>>10933205I'm genuinely baffled at this post you've made a couple times of Horus being on life supportFirst off, if he's such a great warrior why is he on life support? Sounds like something only a loser would needSecond, isn't Horus kind of a middle of the road primarchs on combat ability? His special power is his social manipulation, not close combat specifically like Angron or SangyAnd third, why would a primarch of all things need life support? Pretty sure they can heal up from anything that doesn't instakill them, and rowboat puts even that into questionI genuinely don't understand why you'd think Chaos empowered Horus is on life support, it's putting two and two together in my brain and coming up with fish
>>10933477First, he's obviously on life support, due to the multiple tubes in his head. Second, his only weapons are close combat and I presume he uses them, meaning he enters the fray and the thickest combat, facing death, up close and personal. Third, he's a Primarch, so he can take massive damage and injuries and survive, but not without eventual significant cost to his body. And the tubes look cool.
>>10933477>>10933517From Horus Rising:"Organised into vast armies of tens of thousands called Legions, the Space Marines and their primarch leaders conquer the galaxy in the name of the Emperor. Chief amongst the primarchs is Horus, called the Glorious, the Brightest Star, favourite of the Emperor, and like a son unto him. He is the Warmaster, the commander-in-chief of the Emperor's military might, subjugator of a thousand thousand worlds and conqueror of the galaxy. He is a warrior without peer, a diplomat supreme.From False Gods:I was there the day that Horus fell...'It is the folly of men to believe that they are great players on the stage of history, that their actions might affect the grand procession that is the passage of time. It is an insulating conceit a powerful man might clasp tight to his bosom that he might sleep away the night, safe in the knowledge that, but for his presence, the world would not turn, the mountains would crumble and the seas dry up. But if the remembrance of history has taught us anything, it is that, in time, all things will pass. Unnumbered civilisations before ours are naught but dust and bones, and the greatest heroes of their age are forgotten legends. No man lives forever and even as memory fades, so too will any remembrance of him. It is a universal truth and an unavoidable law that cannot be denied, despite the protestations of the vain, the arrogant and the tyrannical.''Horus was the exception.'- Kyril Sindermann, Preface to the Remembrancers'It would take a thousand cliches to describe the Warmaster, each one truer than the last.'- Petronella Vivar, Palatina Majoria of House Carpinus
>>10933205That's your head cannon but the answer is lamer than that. The tubes are basically interface tubes/plugins to systems and shit. Similar to Perturabo cable head to interface with the logos armor. You see a lot of artwork of tech priests, Naval admirals and dudes with limb/eye replacements having random tubes all over the head and body. All of this is basically inspired from all the 80'-90s cyberpunk sci-fi style at the time. Just look at the nose tube you can tell it's inspired from Dune.
>>10933477>>10933633>subjugator of a thousand thousand worlds>conqueror of the galaxy>He is a warrior without peer
>>10933659>That's your head canonI suppose it is. Based on fanart like this. And the fact that pre-Ascended Horus had no tubes (Forgeworld model).
>>10933517>his only weapons are close combatScratch that. I forgot about his lightning claw-mounted storm bolter.
>>10933673Nah it's just his terminator armor from the dark mechanicum.Serpent's Scales - Horus' unique suit of Terminator Armour, known as the Serpent's Scales, was one of the first prototypes of its kind, fashioned by Master Adept Urtzi Malevolus and continuously improved by the hand of the traitorous Fabricator-General of Mars, Kelbor-Hal, and some of the greatest Artificers of the Imperium. It was proof against attacks of both brute and esoteric origin. Sent from Mars to cement the alliance between Horus and the faction of the Mechanicum that would back his rebellion against the Emperor, the armour echoed the colours of the Sons of Horus' elite Justaerin, but it far surpassed them in ornamentation and power. An amber Eye of Horus upon the breastplate stared from the armour's torso and shoulder plates.
>>10933684Do we agree he's "a warrior without peer"?
>>10933690I guess he is? The "a warrior without peer" description is thrown around on all special lore characters with plot armor ha
>>10933690Anon I'm not denying that Horus is a good fighter, it's literally what he was made forI'm saying that if he's such a good fighter and has such a resilient and capable body, why would he be on life support?At his level he really should either body his enemies to the point they can't even touch him, or the only attacks that can hurt him are the kind that would put him down in an instantThere's not really room in that gradient for "hurt bad enough that he needs assistance to live but not enough to die outright" and that's without getting into immortal transhuman biologyIt's just a little silly, is what I'm saying
>>10933711I guess we can agree to disagree on the life support thing. A blade called The Anatheme almost killed Horus (leading to his downfall). Also, The Emperor is currenty on life support, so it's not unprecedented for supremely powerful transhumans to be on life support.
>>10933734Also, I.like the idea that he's in a perpetually, gravely, wounded state but continues fighting like nothing is wrong.
>>10933673were they still "good guys" (ie, not Chaos) for a while after turning into SoH from Luna Wolves? Cause those evil eyes all over the armor look pretty sus if so.
>>10933738>in a perpetually, gravely, wounded state but continues fighting like nothing is wrongbasically dreadnoughts
>>10933871think the SoH had the same questions when they saw all kinds of sus shit happening
>>10933872>basically dreadnoughtsBut with tubes.
>>10933477>Second, isn't Horus kind of a middle of the road primarchs on combat ability?in one of the HH novels Leman Russ is being all smug about how tough he is as the Emperor's police dog unleashed on other legions when a human character says Horus would kill him. Russ looks thoughtful then agrees he probably would.
>>10933995>Horus would kill himBut with tubes.
>>10933871i mean the entire imperium is emblazoned with skullz
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHCan you stop screaming for a second?>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>10934173Why did the chicken cross the road?>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHKnock knock>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>10934173>>10934176But with tubes.
>>10934179>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
i think my true calling is really the Imperial Fistswas able to ring my local shop to place orders for Rogal Dorn and Fafnir Rann at preorder prices. Sadly sigismund is not available
>>10934173like the loadout but I think there is not a single occurrence in lore where he wasn't a bitch.
>>10934297He dickwhipped Sigismund 1v1, so there's that.
>>10934340Cause Siggy was 1000+ years old and actively fighting for all of that, whereas Abby was still in his temporally displaced and chaos empowered prime90% sure it even says that if Sigismund wasn't so old, he would have wiped the floor with abbadon
Are those two bigger than normal intercessors? The Salamander even bigger than Terminators?
>>10934374>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>10934429They're both Primaris, so garbage at any size.
>>10934079yeah but idk, when pretty everyone's got that as a motif it just seems like vanilla edgelord shit. the eyes stand out as particularly evil-looking.
>>10934429No, what made you think that? These guys are standard sized, they are mostly using standard bucks.
>>10934173Canonically, why is Abbadon so big? This figure is almost Primarch-size.
>>10934519he's just a giga nigga, to the point where people though he was a clone of horus
>>10934488>vanilla edgelord shitthat's the point. the imperium is and always has been very clearly evil even when they are "good"
>>10933901Why did you post a braindead green text retread of a famous British comedy sketch?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToKcmnrE5oY
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>10934297>like the loadoutWhat tactical advantage does the sword give you over just having a second claw?
>>10934682You can sheathe a sword if you need to type or scratch your nose
>>10934736I mean presumably you can take the lightning claws off too right like a boxing glove
>>10934775that thing is bolted on. You need someone to take it off you and another guy to swing incense over you while it happenshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3DsHGDRQ5M
>>10934736That's why I always found double claws a funny loadout; imagine being the last guy in your team, and all you need to do to complete your objective, is type a simple command into a computer, but he can't because of the fuck-all huge claws lmao!The tartaros/mk VI, and primaris design power claws make much more sense, or at least how Abaddon has one hand normal.
>>10934872I don't believe any space marine has ever been given an objective that couldn't be completed by smashing the console
>>10933673>>10933205He needs them to keep his sanity
is there any release date for the sons of horus marines or still not announced?
>>10935291Probably quite soon, they were announced immediately after the 30k Fists and those are releasing now.
>>10934582because an image brings the point across a bit better on an imageboard, rather than linking to a three minute long externally hosted video.but then again, I'm not autistic so that sort of reasoning might not be the same for everyone.
>>10935291the stores here have them listed for august (the green ones) and september for the terminators.
hopefully we get these spooky boys soon
speaking of release dates, anyone have any information about the solar watch Custodes?CTC has them as coming out in march, and while I know some wiggle room is to be expected, its now aprilany other sites have different dates listed?
>>10935647Oh I Need these yesterday.
>>10935647why not just make night lords? same with this chrimson slaughter guys, just make world eaters
>>10935762These ARE night lords. They are releasing them as a killteam box, but the models and their paint jobs are literally just Night Lords. What would you change about them to make them Night-Lord-ier?
>>10935762newfag
>>10935630wtf they'll be here in a couple of weeks.
Some shit from the discord, don't think they are April Fools jokes, I think the april fools is a blurry image of an apothecary biologis custom they're trying to imply is official. There was also a deleted supposed preview of a tank, I think that was a joke too.>UM redemptor dread, BA veterans of baal, Ragnar and Bjorn Fell-Handed to get a rerelease soon. >Veterans getting a body update like the SW rereleases, nothing new for Ragnar.>Dante coming soon>New product on the 4th and it's not UM>New base/stand thingies in pic related
>>10935880Rereleases aren't changed in anyway right? Just the same mold and architecture and everything?
>>10935888>Veterans getting a body update like the SW rereleases, nothing new for Ragnar
>>10935888nope, better throw away your old guys.
>>10935888>>10935880Sad to say, comparing the new promo pics of the Veterans with my existing ones, they look a lot worse to me. The new bodies make them look lanky and weird, their silhouettes look awkward to me. And while there is still some airbrushed shading, it's much more subtle than the original releases. It looks more flat and boring in general, kind of like the original SW Hunter pack.I'm glad they're doing it for people who missed out I guess, but I will be gladly sticking with my originals. The slight increases in articulation are not worth the worse looks to me, the 1.0 bodies are still quite good.
>>10935998Yeah the retard saying "throw away your old figures" is, well, we all know who it is...Old figures have merit, even if they are 2mm shorter. Many of the older figures have better paint apps, such as the edge highlights. I still enjoy my infiltrators. Only figures with "feature creep" that I'm bugged by is the hard hand guys, and it's JUST their hard hands. Glad that's over now.
>>10935998>>10936230>all this copeLOL, you're just mad your old toys are proven to be out of scale and less accurate
I've got some nicely detailed Termagant STLs I'm tempted to print at 1:18 scale for displays; based or cringe idea? I want to get the upcoming JT Gaunts regardless, but for a photo/display having lots of fixed-pose gaunts might work as crowd-filler.
>>10935880Might be Sanguinius on the 4th, or 30k wolves
>>10932675>Brass>for the most self absorbed, god-adjacent, WarmasterRetarded
>>10936246"Proven to be out of scale">Omgee you goyz, the new toys are 2mm taller!>It's basically a brand new scale!!That clown pic is very appropriate.
>>10936458You're only agreeing with me. Only the most autismo would notice that their old toys are outdated, and coping that the new figures are better than ever.Keep buying the new stuff and you won't even notice a year from now.It's so silly to even argue, when you should be buying more Joytoys.
>>10936463You do realize that Marines can be different heights, right? There's guys like Abaddon who are gargantuan even by Astartes standards (even before being blessed by the Mark of Chaos Ascendent) and at the other end of the spectrum there's that one Imperial Fist who's barely taller than a mortal man. But you'd know that if you weren't a filthy secondary who does not own a single model.
>>10936503Why do you keep agreeing with me, yet keep sounding so angry?Not sure why you're so hostile to me when I'm saying you shouldn't be autistic about the old figures, especially when the new figures are improving on the line that you should continue buying them. Joytoy is really hitting it out of the park with every new release.
>>10936463Me; the size differences are negligible.You; cope lolz!Me; your a retardYou; n-no, your actually agreeing with me! Y-yeah, see? I was never a retard!Fucking retard.
>>10936506I'm saying who cares about their height. Stop being so autistic about it.Just enjoy the new figures and buy more, so that your older figures will matter less.
>>10936505First of all, more than one anon is talking to you.Secondly, you are an annoying troll and we wish you would go away.Thirdly, the old toys are not "outdated". They even said the increase in size was to accommodate better articulation and had nothing to do with scale. Personally I think the older ones were plenty poseable as is and that the size creep is unnecessary, but it's hardly a deal breaker as the difference is barely noticeable. Putting an older Marine next to a newer one will just look like one Marine is slightly taller than the other. Both will still look fine next to their other non-Marine figures (Guardsmen, Sisters etc). Certainly, they will scale better than McFarlane's non-efforts, where the Sister was the same height as a Marine.>I'm saying who cares about their height.You clearly did, hence you derailing multiple threads whining that their Marines aren't Kaiju-sized next to normal human figures.>Stop being so autistic about it.The irony coming from you of all "people" is rich.
>>10936507"I'm saying who cares about their height. Stop being so autistic about it."Also you >>10936246Meanwhile, literally me >>10928451
>>10936509>still sounds mad despite agreeing>all this venting because upset the old figures are called outdated because the newest figures are so awesome that he's digging up long ago arguments over it and bringing other lines into itLMAOSeriously, just buy the new figures. You'll feel better, just like me. I'm seriously excited about this line again.
>>10936517This nigga doesn't even know what his own point is supposed to be anymore lmaoClown pepe indeed
>>10936517why does every single figure in his videos look at least 30% worse than it actually does?
>>10936691His camera is shit and so is his posing.
>>10936691>>10936699everything about his videos is shit. He doesn't even show unboxing.
Anyone know of any Ali stores selling the not-Lego marines still?
>>10937100I also wish to know. I could use a lego squad of salamanders in my life.
>>10936911>caring about unboxingugh.Anything to do with packaging is worthless, unless there's actual premium shit going on, like fancy slipcases and/or art.>>10936691He's a shill so his reviews aren't that in-depth. He skims over a ton of stuff when there's something bad going on. So he's only worthwhile to watch because he reviews a ton of stuff and you get an idea of what the actual figure looks like. Sometimes you even see good amount of poses and good comparisons.Guy seems to live in a tiny house+tiny apartment, yet he buys rooms full of shit every year. His space must be really cramped. So the limited amount of liveable space means his camera work and posing of his toys is also going to be cramped, which makes his videos look rather crappy.>>10936525Nah, that guy's just angery.jpg and spouting off a ton of random shit because his brain is full of seethe, despite all his posts before agreeing with me that scale doesn't matter. People should embrace the upgrade figures that are replacing the outdated figures, instead of coping.The new figures are really amazing.
>>10937588>He's a shill so his reviews aren't that in-depthI don't find that personally, he does go through the figures pretty in-depth and point out issues, but then when it comes to his summary, he says everything he reviews is the best thing ever, from fortnite toys to model kits to joytoy, it's weird. I think he has parents in England and in-laws in some other SEA country so he stores tons of shit at their houses. Would be crazy to me to have to much stuff just in storage.
>>10937592Nah, his reviews are shit. He purposely avoids doing stuff he does in other reviews when there's a known issue. I don't know if you're a phoneposter or not, but the file names for my images are how he weasels out of doing good comparisons.Guy has a mountain of toys he can use to give a good idea of how the figures compare to one another, but he's really selective of what figures he chooses for when there's a sensitive issue. But some random figure gets compared to a dozen other figures/lines.Same shit with range of motion. Some figures get a complete work out, others he either passes or glosses over a certain pose. Other technical issues (usually paints) aren't even brought up.And like you said, his summaries are super duper positive. His reviews all just sound like it comes straight out of Gamepro or EGM.The more lines you buy, the more you'll notice he's avoiding issues and which lines he'll be more open about (usually old ones that are no longer sold in stores). Like i said, I only watch his reviews because he's sometimes the only one doing a review for some figures, because he gets a room full of toys every year. Most any other reviewer is better.It's simply insane how many toys he gets, given how small his kitchen and dining room(?) is. I probably get as much stuff too, but i actually have room for them.
>>10937609You don't think perhaps he compares them to new toys since they are also ones he's reviewed recently and so he has them lying around?
>>10937612He does a ton of reviews for many toylines, so some reviews get figures worked out better and compared more than other reviews. So it's not him being a completely shit reviewer, because he knows well enough to do it for other toys.And it isn't because he's last month's toys are hidden under a pile of brand new toys, because toys from 2-3 years ago still show up.I mean, I think I'm pretty bad with "losing" some figures in my closets, but i have 234098234098 other figures i can bring out when i make comparisons.Of course, it could be he only compares brand new figures to brand new figures of the same line, because the people giving him free shit don't want to see other company's toys in his reviews.. but that's how literally shilling works
>>10937644Oh, you're that schizo nigger that thinks literally everyone is a shill. Okay.
>>10937647>guy who gets free figures from a company and doesn't give as good review for some lines isn't a shill>because i don't like youalways great to know you people are either brain damaged or in grade school
>>10937649Don't care, kill yourself.
10th edition Leviathan box UM terminators including Librarian and Captain revealed.
>>10937666https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/fuUgLJEU3UFkIE0R7RrcWQThey've been upsized too, previews say 14.3cm, which iirc is about what the Deathwing were. I think for me it'll just be the librarian, I like the teleport homer the one guy come with and the assault cannon, but not enough to buy more relatively vanilla. UM termies.
>>10937670I wasn't too bothered with the upscaling, but it makes some very special characters look not too special now. G-man doesn't look much taller next to them, and Calgar will look like a shorty.
>>10937670Hideous. Hate the new head shape so, so much. Termies have always been known for wide, squat helmets, the tall skinny proportions look awful.The old Termies were not perfect, but my god do I prefer them. Guess I should buy up all the stock I can now, since this is all I'm ever gonna get.
>>10937673Jesus, that's fucking ridiculous. A standard Terminator should not be anywhere near Guilliman size. Does this mean they're eventually going to remake Guilliman at 12" tall?
>>10937674And yeah, I know, it's not JoyToy's fault, in fact they made it very accurate to the minis. It's really GW's fault for fucking up one of their best designs.
>>10937673Okay, it looks like this is relatively accurate to the minis according to my autistic and shitty comparison image. The librarian's hood does look like it comes up to about g-man's neck if you account for the tactical rubble, and he's not standing completely straight. I still don't like the look though, but that's on GW I suppose.
>>10937694Here they are with deathwing. Apparently the assault cannon rotates.
>>10937699This is one of the most confusing moves I've ever seen a toy company make. It would be one thing if you were like a dozen figures deep and decided to scale up, but JoyToy has released LITERALLY hundreds of figures at this point. I am just dumbfounded.
>>10937694Here you go, all of the models pictured, but physically adjacent.Left most is the old plastic terminator sculpt, the rest is self explanatory.It's literally what GW themselves did.Teleport beacon is a hilarious choice!
Also >>10937670Looks like new UM terminators will be 0.8cm taller than old ones, but like I said before, meh. Also also>>10937588>>10936517Are samefag lmao. The schizo is now pretending to be a separate mentally ill dumb bitch (notice how they both name their pics the same shit).Mental illness, everyone.>>10937674Nah, I disagree, as new designs definitely feel more like a guy in power armor, and less like a plastic model of a guy in power armor, but I will still love my initial terminator figure. Plain terminator has an alt head, which honestly I think I might go for, over a beacon and another assault cannon, but damn, a rotating assault cannon does make me salty that I got the non rotating variant lol. I would have picked up captain, but no helmet is really unappealing. Librarian looks MUCH better as a figure, but I think I'll pass regardless.
>>10937712Schizonigger isn't pretending to be anyone different, the name thing was due to the 4chan april fools "joke". Please don't give him more (you)s.
>>10937714Nah look at the end of 10937588, he tries to "call out" himself.The mental illness is real.
>>10937666>>10937670I don't know why but they do absolutly nothing for me.
>>10937702It's Joytoy's smartest move. It's how any toy maker improves.It's just your autism hating the fact that your old toys don't look as nice as the new ones.
>>10927714will they be bigger/taller than the old UM Terminators?
>>10937666If they wanted to give us terminators, then why didn't they give us tartaros ones instead of the ultrasmurfs, that we already have? What about new dreads or armor variants?
>>10937739I mean, get used to that feeling, cause apparently they're going to be remaking a lot of the important figures in this new scale
>>10937719I think he's clearly talking about the other guy(s?) he was arguing with, I know you hate schizonigger since you can't stop yourself from arguing with him, but you don't need to impute even more retardation to him than exists in fact.>>10937730Pics say they're 12.1cm, and the old UM termies said 13.4cm on their pics so they shouldn't be.>>10937739They're doing the Leviathan box, and the termies are in there. So expect a shit primaris apothecary, boring marines with flamers, a redemptor with a slightly cooler loadout and a fucking sick phobos lieutenant that guts nids and doesn't afraid of anything. And maybe a couple of small nigs when they can finally be bothered to do more xenos.
Looks like the back and side skirts have been changed too. They look like they're on a hinge joint to me, so they can only flap upwards and not be rotated back and forwards at all. I might be wrong, but if so it strikes me as worse than the old ones.
>>10937742>>10937746Another batch of veterans incoming https://www.joytoy.com/products/blood-angels-veteran?VariantsId=10114
>>10937751>>10937751That's better, not worse, as it's particularly annoying when they swivel up.
>>10935880>>New product on the 4th and it's not UM kek
>>10937797Yeah I guess that was April Fools too, the Sanguinius pic was.
>>10937742>new scaleIt's 1:18.It says so right on the box the day the line was released 4 years ago.The scale hasnt changed.You people are just suffering from buyers remorse, because your old figures are outdated by the newer, more accurate ones, hence saying it's some new scale.
>>10937815I still like my old figures, I'll be very pleased if lots of people start selling them off cheap when they get salty about the upscales.
>>10937699>>10937670>>10937673>every terminator release has different proportions and head designthe first release was perfect why do they keep getting Katoki'd
>>10934297He kicked Garviel Loken's ass during their skirmish in the ruins on Istvaan 3.
>>10937666And just like that an entire batch of UM termies we bought a few months ago is rendered obsolete and out-of-scale,
>>10938044pretty ridiculous
>>10938044So the authentic GW experience then.
>>10938045In size the mcfarlane's terminator beats joytoy, but in quality JT surpasses it significantly. Loose torso, mostly hollow, supposed to be a mega fig and yet is the same size as reaver.I switched to JT warhammer figs mainly because of that.
>>10937699how does the new grey knight scale with the new terminators? did they use this new scale or the old?
>>10938076fuck I suppose they will rerelease all those in a new scale eventually as well...
LMAO, nothing says "failing toyline" better than the literal shills coping and seething about it, let me guess you dogs didnt receive your coupons for burger king? Pathetic
>>10938076Kaldor Draigo you mean? He's the old size.
>>10938081He cute.
>>10938094jfc
>>10937815>It's 1:18.>It says so right on the boxReally can't lose with this reasoning...why express such a strong opinion if you clearly never owned any of these figures?
>>10938197oh, are you say that Joytoy was lying about their scale then?Sheesh, calm your autism, dude.You do know that not all Space Marines are exactly the same height, right? You're crying over a few milimeters of height difference and even in the only official canon, the models differ in height too. Some are bigger than the others.
Damnit Joytoy I want my Ravenguard infiltrators, its just a repaint, I'd do it myself if I wasnt retarded.
>>10938221Then why don't you commission someone to do it for you?
>>10938220I bought my first JT WH40k set (infiltrators) shortly after it was released and since then I always said how they're more 1/22-1/24 scale than anything else.The recent scale creep is another topic as JT is clearly trying to slowly bring the line closer to actual 1/18th scale.>not all space marines are the same heightI know this but it's still bullshit they are making these adjustments.Picture is the shorter infiltrators with 1/24 figures which imo is in-scale
>>10938045as if you would mind buying 5 new ones just to make 1 master figure out of them.
>>10938302honestly I'm done. I'm pretty satisfied.
>>10938306sure
>>10938309I mean I could upgrade to the new terminator size but I don't really like how much taller they are than normal marines so I will probably hold off.
>>10938235>nd since then I always said how they're more 1/22-1/24 scale than anything else.And you were wrong.
>>10938235I don't own any of the infiltrators personally, but I do have the squad of Kreig guardsmen which is also an early JT production, and they are slightly larger than 1:18 Star Wars figures. I find it hard to believe that the infiltrators could possibly be even smaller than them.
Reminder that most of the size complaints is a single schizo pretending to be multiple anons.The size changes are less than 1cm.
Meanwhile, 1/18 casuals like me dont care about accurate heights so as long as they tower over 1/18 figures and only buy these guys because they look cool and I can roleplay "fallout" with space marines as brotherhood of steel paladins. I am salty about the claims of better articulation though for the new figures.
>>10937666>>10937670>>10937673>>10937674>>10937678>>10937679>>10937694>>10937699>>10937702>>10937706>>10937712>>10937730>>10937739>>10937746>>10937751>>10937821>>10938044>>10938045>>10938324What irks me is that we've gotten so many Terminators, but no classic blue and purple Genestealers. Oh, well, I'll keep buying that Terminator garbage.
>>10938531Bruh we haven't even gotten ANY genestealer! I do hope, though, that we do get the classic space hulk color scheme at least, after the inevitable leviathan color scheme, of course.
>>10938556Listen, Joytoy! We need classic Space Hulk Terminators versus classic Genestealers.
>>10935880why the fuck is Abaddon so huge?? will the otehr sons of horus termies follow his height as well - Justaeran boys?? Jesus thats way too close to being a primarch
Take it up with GW
>>10938602ya thats 40k abaddon not hh/30k which joytoy based their version on
>>10938235>I always saidWas this meant to lend your completely wrong post an air of authority or self-assuredness?
>>10938348no u;)
>>10938831I wouldnt even dare to dream it since you are clearly the only authority here
>>10938831Considering he also says that the CIA pays Chinese shills in burger king coupons, probably both.
>>10938831keep defending the crap that theyre making instead of allowing people to enjoy their products. Glad to hear you keep receiving your lousy BK coupons
Apparently someone at joytoy accidentally posted a video that wasn't meant to go live yet. Seems they are doing the newer chaplain in terminator armour, the video has him with the 4-headed crozius and a storm bolter. Hopefully it comes with the relic shield as well. Don't think I'd get it in any case, looks pretty boring.These >>10937666 terminators are up for pre-order. Interesting price mix, the vanilla termies are cheaper than Justaerin, Cataphractii and Deathwing, but the Captain is almost as much as abbadon and the Librarian is even more than the SoH Praetor.
Wish they'd sell a shoulder pack or something so we could swap out the UM shoulders on the Librarians, Chaplains, Tech Marines, etc with other chapters.
I know it's lore correct but am I the only one who finds it sad that the Sons of Horus Terminators are in bboring black when the normal SoH color is this sick green?
>>10938616I don't care about HH as far as lore or anything like that (Mechanicum and Solar Auxilia models are cool, but that's about the extent of my interest), but I'm curious: is there any reason Abaddon would have grown significantly since HH? He's not part daemon like Morty, Magnus, Fulgrim, or Angron.
>>10939154He drank a little bit of chaos kool aid in the end and the death book.
>>10939154>>10939157Just a little bit, mind, as a treat.
>>10938348>And you were wrong.Seriously, i don't get why people are upset about the newer figures, when they've always been 1:18. People who are whining about the newer figures making their old figures look outdated are just autistic. Who even cares about a slight height difference. It's not like GW cares either.
>>10939273they are all the same retard who thinks everyone here is a Joytoy employee on the CIA's payroll
>>10939353I thought they just got expired coupons so they can pretend they can afford to eat american fastfood?And i find it hard to believe everyone who is complaining about the new figures being taller are samefag, because some of them seemed perfectly happy with their old figures until Joytoy made them outdated
>>10939061Once again, there will be no accessory packs. While it was never said outright, I suspect this is GW's meddling. Back when JoyToy was trying to get the Mk.VII helms released, they also showed off some other loose accessories that looked like they could have been an accessory set. It seems like those were struck down along with the helmets, and we have since heard from JoyToy themselves that there won't be any accessory packs.I suggest buying a 3D printed pauldron off Etsy, or there are some sellers on eBay who part out figures.
>>10939047Weeeeelllll fuck. I was kind of salty about the scale change so I was telling myself it would take something REALLY desirable to get me to buy into the new size....that didn't take very long at all. Guess this will be my first big boy.
>>10937666It's interesting that a couple of the Terminators with text on their legs have it left justified, like the McFarlane Terminator. Who made that decision?
>>10939047How the fuck does JoyToy keep churning out hundreds of unique molds? I think all the other companies that only produce new molds once or twice a year are lying about their capability.
>>10939716Lesson 1 of being a 40K fan: whenever you see some completely moronic choice in action, look to GW themselves first
>>10939719Isn't it obvious? Most of us have suspected for years that the massive multi-billion dollar toy corporations have been lying to us about how much this shit actually costs. The fact that JoyToy has produced literally hundreds of unique molds (many of which have zero capability for parts reuse!) in around 2 years, and are not struggling but in fact thriving, really tells you something. You've been fleeced by greedy, out-of-touch CEOs who would rather pad out their salaries than pay for a new mold. By contrast, the JoyToy owner is a toy fanatic himself, and actually cares about making the coolest toys possible.
>>10939794plus I mean, for better or worse, these guys just won't stop trying to improve. The 1.0 intercessor mold was already pretty great. I had very few complaints with it, and would happily have kept collecting 1.0 bodies. But they kept going. 2.0, then 3.0. Now an entirely new scale even! I don't necessarily LIKE all of the changes they've made, but it does demonstrate a dogged willingness to try to improve their product. These are not "sit around on our ass and rake in the money" type people.
joytoy's actually insane... felt like this line has been going on forever but it's only been like 2 years...
>>10939719>Joytoy charges as much for 1:18 figures as Japanese collector companies who make 1:12 figures>acting this surprised they produce unique molds like any collector toy companyWow, China is the greatest country in the worrd. Everyone needs to watch TikTok on their Appre iPhones and prease tweet to all followers that Antarctic waters belong to China.All hair Xi Jinping!
^^^Mental illness
>>10940022>Joytoy charges as much for 1:18 figures as Japanese collector companies who make 1:12 figures>acting this surprised they produce unique molds like any collector toy companyJoyToy's articulation, accessories, sculpted details, paint applications, short preorder windows, and availability after release are usually better than figma or whatever Japanese 1/12 toy.
>>10940197Do not give the retard (you)s, he never shuts up.
>>10940197And by "short preorder windows" I mean the toy is released soon after announcement, unlike figma or whatever, which can sometimes be released a year or more after announcement.
>>10939951It's really mind-boggling. They already have at least a hundred unique molds. They seem to have slowed down with variation within waves, though. The Horus Heresy waves show alot of mold reuse as do the new Terminators.
>>10940022>HOLY SHIT THEY CHARGE AS MUCH FOR A PORSCHE 911 AS THEY DO FOR A FORD F150 WHICH IS A MUCH BIGER VEHICLE WITH A MUCH HIGHER TOWING CAPACITYthat's how you soundand if you don't get that you never will.
>>10940203I wish that they would do more mold reuse. They have already created unique trinkets for several different legions, so all they need to do at this point is repaint all of the figures that they are releasing exclusively as smurfs into new legion color schemes and add their existing legion-specific trinkets to make new figures. It's really annoying that we aren't getting terminators, captains, lieutenants, veterans, etc. from other chapters. But I'm thinking at this point that GW is only allowing them to create figures that have a GW-painted official model.
>>10940209I would've preferred that each wave be different chapters. Example; the hellblaster wave of 3 UMs? Instead make one a dark angel and one a blood angel. Wave of aggressors? Make one a space wolf, another a BT, etc etc. why use 3 figure slots on the same chapter, when you can make 3 different chapters, at least!Butt yeah, I basically agree with you that we should get some more variety. I don't mind similar waves when it's more than just "tactical marine #1, #2, and #3, I liked how the sons of Horus had one guy with the bayonet, the other with the back banner, and another be the sergeant with plasma pistol and sword.
>>10940205Also, logic doesn't work on the illogical. Hell just reply with some schizo strawman bs.
>>10940197>JoyToy's articulation, accessories, sculpted details, paint applications, short preorder windows, and availability after release are usually better than figma or whatever Japanese 1/12 toy.Wow that's insane that Joytoy produces better 1:18 figures for the same price as 1:12 figures by Japanese collector companies and actually keeps them in stock longer! How are they even able to do that!??! IT's so mindblowing that I never really noticed toys didn't come with as many accessories or were as detailed as Joytoy's warhammer figures until now! They truly are producing a revolutionary toyline!China really is the greatest country in the world, so we have to send tiktoks to our legislative branches im Europe and America, to tell them to stop the sanctions that are stopping China from producing revolutionary products, just like their 1/12-priced 1:18 figures!Glory to People's Republic of China!
>>10940424Why do you hate JoyToy? Why not just ignore them? I hate communism and the CCP but JoyToy seems to be outpacing western toy capitalists by thousands of miles.
>>10940460Ignore him, he's too retarded to understand that size =/= price. Or that the average JoyToy Marine is about the same size and a higher partscount than a smallish Figma and yet is cheaper.
Lol subby just called them 1:18 figures, despite his years long crusade that they're NOT 1:18!Damn schizo can't even keep up with his own bullshit lmaoMental illness, everyone.
Did joytoy already re-released Blood angels with the new seize?
>>10941156No, they just announced them. They probably won't be out for another month or maybe two at most.
>>10937670I want to know how these guys will scale against the old Chaos Termies.
>>10941272The Chaos Termies are around the same height as the old Ultramarine ones, so it would look something like that pic
Are these good?I got the two Warhammer figurines from McFarlane for about 15 bucks on AmazonThe master chief, I got from a local CVS pharmacy for about two dollars because they were trying to get rid of it
>>10941376They're alright for $15, but I think they're cheaper elsewhere. If you like 1:12 better than 1:18, then yeah, the McFarlane's are great, otherwise, though, definitely go for the joyous; there's SO much more options out there, and basically the same figures, but better, for only slightly more (you can get a really cool DA intercessor for like $25).>>10941272See >>10937706 for pretty much how they will look next to each other. Though it's less apparent as figures, because you can repose them to disguise the slight size differences, if it bothers you that much.
>>10941409I enjoy that in theory, although unless I could use them to play the board game because of their small stature, I don’t know if I feel comfortable busting out for that also mainly because when I bought the McFarlane stuff I wanted something 7 inches tall but thank you for the response
>>10941413I'd recommend you at least try one. They're the biggest, beefiest 1/18 figures I've ever owned, and feel well worth the price. I was not really a 1/18 collector before this line, and it pretty much singlehandedly got me into the scale.Also, yeah, you can totally play the game with em, provided you have enough space for it.
I'm curious, which mini possible from the pictured kit (kill team: inquisitorial agents) would you like to see as figures? Funny enough, I like Mr lobotomized heavy bolter platform.
>>10940786>size =/= price.OMG! You mean two toys that are made of equal pieces but one is bigger than the other no longer correlatates with production costs anymore?Holy shit, China is more revolutionary than i thought! They've thrown all the rules out the window! Detail costs more! Paint costs more! Chinese production costs are bigger than Japanese production costs!It all makes sense that all that high tech technology China is putting into their toys would make 1:18 figures cost more than 1:12 figures! Can they be anymotr higher high tech!? Truly all of Japan is the Ford of the toy world and Joytoy is the PorscheAll was made possible by Xi Jinping's policies to bring China to the forefront of the entire world! Rong rive Xi Jinping!

>>10941590>OMG! You mean two toys that are made of equal pieces but one is bigger than the other no longer correlatates with production costs anymore?It never did unless the bigger figure is like, 3 times the size of the smaller figure.Meanwhile, a JoyToy Space Marine is actually slightly larger than some of the smaller Figmas in terms of mass, has a greater partscount and has more and more intricate paint apps and yet costs less. I've gotten most of my JT Marines for under £40. Good luck getting a modern Figma for that.
>>10941590>N-no, your car analogy was stupid, not me! Y-yeah, see? I are smart!Mental illness, everyone.
I'm just getting into 40k. I'm reading the Eisenhorn Trilogy by Abnett and really liking it - what should I read next? Is the Bequin series good? I assume it centers on the same character from the Omnibus.
>>10941825Wow, China is truly ahead of everyone else for creating molds where size doesn't matter anymore. They're truly better than Figmas of loli toys, but what about male Figma toys, like knights and space marines, or 1:12 Figuarts and 1:12 Mafex figures?China working beyond 3 dimensions is some high tech shit man.Care to elaborate on how Joytoy turned came up with this revolutionary new molding method where they're using more molds to produce 4.5" figures than 6" figures made up of the same amount of parts?I mean, what special plastic are they even using where their mass is much greater? IS it some top secret Chinese plastic that no other toy company uses?
>>10941876>but what about male Figma toys, like knights and space marines, or 1:12 Figuarts and 1:12 Mafex figures?Well given all of those cost more than JT Marines, I'd say they're doing well.
>>10941590what the fuck happened to subbyhe's like twice as fucking unhinged as usuali'm getting concerned bros, maybe we should call someone?get the CIA to deliver him some of his meds while they give us the next set of expired coupons (I hear we're getting wendy's this month)?
>>10941891I think the commies raped his dad's bumhole in 'nam and he's never really gotten over it.
>>10941891I love China now that Joytoy's Space Marines are finally in 1:18.Sucks for every coping loser who previously said they don't care about scale and are now crying their old figures are outdated, because Joytoy learned how to improve.Taiwan, Philipines, Vietnam, and India rightfully belong to China!So tell me about the magical molding techniques where size no longer matters in their production and how their plastics contain so much mass that it's unparallellalalble to 1/12 Japanese plastics that it costs them just as much to produce their 1/18 figures.
>>10941619>Flesh Tearers doko>Gabriel Seth dokosource on that?
>>10941939there is no source, I just want themsorry if I got your hopes up with my post
>>10941900I became aware of 40K in the early 90's when I was in my teens. I've never actually played the 40K boardgame (though, I've played the Space Hulk 2nd edition boardgame and various Space Hulk video games) but I've purchased many miniatures and codexes and read probably a hundred or more novels. I love Terminators and Dreadnoughts and I own every metal Terminator and Dreadnought ever made (except I'm missing exactly two parts: the extremely rare Chaos Dreadnought claw feet). I also own every ForgeWorld Dreadnought and accessory ever made and every plastic GW Dreadnought ever made. The JoyToy Terminators (particularly the Lightning Claw Terminators) and Dreadnoughts are a dream come true for me and I'm going to continue buying at least one from each wave if they keep making them.
>>10942028Would be cool to see a pic of that collection.
>>10942029They're in storage, unfortunately. My favorite parts ever, apart from Lightning Claws, is the ForgeWorld Dreadnought Mortis Heavy Bolter pair and the Chaos Dreadnought Heavy Bolter (which the ForgeWorld version is based on). I have many of those. Mind you, my collection includes all Contemptors, all Deredeos, and all Leviathans, except the Rogue Trader "Dreadnoughts" (Chuck, Fury, and Eddy).
>>10942031Shame. Do you paint them yourself, or get someone else to paint them, or keep them unpainted or what?
>>10942035They're fresh, clean, and unpainted, in boxes. It may sound autistic or retarded, but they're some of my most cherished possessions.
>>10942040To add:However, though I don't assemble my minis, I love opening and playing with my JoyToys.
>>10942040Very autistic, but as long as you have fun.
>>10942028Neato. So you started around the same time i did.I' used to be like that one guy who posts here who shows off his poorly painted models. I bought the models cause they looked cool and i wanted to paint them. Unlike him, I actually have friends, and eventually started playing the game too. So a lot of my old minis are pretty battered.Took like a decade before i found out there were even books and i also started reading the comics... which are apparently going for the price of a single 1:18 Joytoy figure or a 1/12 Japanese collector figure.Must be made of the same top secret expensive Chinesium plastic and magical molds Joytoy is using.I actually fell out of playing the game around the same time i started reading the comics, and didn't really give a thought toward WH40k until almost a decade later when i found out the horus heresy books existed.
>>10941900Subby: noooo! They're not true 1:18!! Primaris space Marines are 9' tall, so they should be 6" figures, not 5"!Joytoy: adds 0.5cm to the figure height.Also subby: OMGee you goyz, they're PERFECT! I love joytoy! They're my absolute favorite company.a random anon: yeah I like joytoy Warhammer figures too!Still subby; NOOO!! YOUR WRONG! JOYTOY IS THE WORST! THEY ARE 4" FIGURES THAT COST THE SAME AS SUPERIOR PREMIUM JAPANESE ANIME 6" FIGURES!!!RRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-!!!!!!!!!!!!say it with me; mental. Illness.
>>10942060I could die happy if JoyToy made blue and purple Genestealers to complete Space Hulk.
Why is he green? Don't get me wrong it looks better than the black but I thought all Terminators of the Sons of Horus are black.
>>10942087Only the Justaerins in the first company are black.
>>10941874Horus Rising is a good start if you want to find out how this entire mess started, it's also a good starting point when it comes to Space Marines.
>>10942260ooh thanks!
Bandai bastard arrived. Massively disappointed by how cheap and light it feels, the paint apps are ok, the bolter and chain look pretty bad. Of the two pauldrons one is blank and the other has a cut off in the emblem to let the chain through.
>>10942401Don’t know why this irks me so much, wouldn’t be as bad if the other side wasn’t blank…
>>10942401>>10942403It's a Primaris. Throw all Primaris in the trash.
>>10942412we're 2 years and 300+ figures in, at this point either buy in or shut the fuck up and leave
>>10941874Ravenor trilogy follows Eisenhorn and come before the Bequin sequence - if you're enjoying the Inquisitor adventures that would be a good place to go.
>>10942401Box it back up, sell it, and buy joytoys with the money. The longer it stays on your shelf the worse the regret will feel once it truly sets in.Bandai warhammer stuff has been nothing but overpriced disappointment and I say this as an early adopter.
>>10942412What is with the hate for primaris, it just looks like the mark IV..>>10942510Nah I’m a horder it goes in the box and stored away with the rest of my shit, I got dosh for both as I only collect BA and GK so got time to save up inbetween releases.
>>10942577>What is with the hate for primarisnewfag
>>10942401>cheap and light>giving into basic animal instinct where calorie dense food should be heavyoof.Just fill it full of of the cheapest vinyl and zinc diecast metal parts, to please the retards who don't understand weight is a detriment for toys whose joints wear out faster from heaviness. no doubt, these retards don't know that diecast is cheaper than high pressure injection plastic molding.
>>10942587>retardsmany such cases
>>10942587You've clearly not touched a bandai primaris before. It's not 'light' in the same way that other plastic, solidly built toys are. It feels and articulates like an HG model gundpla kit. Things flex and bend and there's a generic cheapness to everything, it feels like a KO. When your high price collectible feels a lot less sturdy than a super minipla kit, you've got issues.
>>10942577>What is with the hate for primaris, it just looks like the mark IV..The day JoyToy or anyone else produces Mk VII Aquila Space Marines it'll be the equivalent of a money printer going "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" like the sound of a million A-10s firing their GAU-8 simultaneously. The sound will be audible in the International Space Station. That company will instantly be worth billions of dollars. Oldfags want Mk VII.
Hey lads, im new to warhammer and just finished this group of infernus marines. Feeling mighty proud so I wanted to post them here
>>10942665their backs
>>10942665>>10942668It's Primaris. Throw all Primaris in the trash.
The Emperor protects, I will buy into White Scars
>>10941437Same, I want servitors, but that scribe looks cool too
>>10942677yes sir anon sir
>>10942665>>10942668very nice, love a good flamer. But just fyi if you're looking for painting feedback you're better off in the /wip/-general on /tg/
>>10942628>It feels and articulates like an HG model gundpla kit.Yes, this is known and you're describing their Robot Damasshi line, which i have bought multiple figures of over the years, because they're solid figures.>When your high price collectible feels a lot less sturdy than a super minipla kit, you've got issues.This is just a retard's take, because you're so used to bottom of the barrel materials being used on toys and the basic animal thinking that heavy = quality.It's part of why diecast is still so heavily used, including the materials are so cheap (hence Hot Wheels being $1 for nearly 30 years), and also because of the belief that it's more durable.We've come a very long way from when it comes to plastics and there's a reason why legos have long been considered the gold standard when it comes to durability, despite their lightweight feel.You can tell that Bandai put more effort into their oversized and oddly shaped figures, because again, they have the forethought and knowledge that heavier plastics will make the joints wear out faster.And i should note that usually the first things to go on gunpla (aside from dainty antenna) are the denser, heavier plastics used for their joints. And it should go without saying, but since there are retards here, actual toys use tougher plastics because they don't use kid-friendly plastics that can be easily cut off sprues.
>>10942652>The dayAre you fucking blind anon?
>>10942665Good job anon. Keep it up. Ignore ppl who shit on the models themselves since if you like em then that's all that matters.
Will we ever get an overtly sexualised character like Yvraine or Lelith Hesperax?
>>10942652Space wolves has some on their big wolves, as well as what >>10942883 said. There's also the even older designs like mk III, IV, and VI, so is joytoy a trillion billion dollar company?>>10942403Eww, how has bandai not lost the license yet? Somehow, bandai is worse than McFarlane in every way...>>10942793This post is so full of strawman, it's a barn! He didn't say it needs to weight like an actual space marine, you fucking idiot, he said it feels brittle and delicate, like it can break very easily, which is a valid complaint for a TOY. No, it doesn't need to be durable enough to withstand a toddler thrashing it about, but it shouldn't feel like it will break if you handle it like an egg! Your so damn retarded nuance eludes you.Most likely this is just subby, with his delusional strawmen, extremist takes, and absolute hatred of joytoy, he feels the need to zealously defend any other line.
>>10942883>>10943004Space Wolf Mk VIIs don't count because it's the helmet that matters. The Vanguard Veteran is close but not really a simple Mk VII (but a step in the right direction).
>>10943004>retard who doesn't own any toysAgain, what he described are the Robot Damashi line that Bandai has been producing for like a decade.Again, people who bought the earlier Bandai WH40k and also own the RD figures said they're basically the same shit.Now go look at the RD general (if one even exists right now) and how much those people love that line despite feeling like Gunpla and how there's almost zero issues with it for probably a decade of the Generals existing on /toy/. Bandai shit almost never has issues with plastics, because they're a giant toy company who hires engineers and chemists who know what they're doing (like most giant toy companies).Again, you're a retard who doesn't know shit.
>>10943031they should have been selling these from the start but James is pushing primaris hard.
>>10942793Since when did I defend diecast toys, you retard? The way you're talking it seems like you went all in on Bandai's WH40K line, including their overpriced Primaris Captain. In that case you're the retard here. Robot Damashiis are BETTER than Bandai's WH40K line in every way. And yeah everyone knows diecast joints aren't the best, this isn't some sort of 200 IQ take you keep spouting. You don't look smart or enlightened for pointing it out.Bandai's WH40K is garbage. Even McFarlane's trash is much better.
>>10943031The new Sternguard one is pretty vanilla aside from the loincloth. It seems like GW is starting to let them be made, but at a slow pace.
Hoping for Sisters of the Valorous Heart soon.
>>10943042Yeah, it's subby and his schizo ranting. Nice strawman that I said that all bandai stuff is bad because it's so light, way to miss the part where I said that the other anon doesn't like how it feels, aka, his subjective opinion/assessment of the toy is negative, and that's not objective fact about the toy. Way to demonstrate your lack of understanding of nuance, it's always satisfying when retards demonstrate exactly how retarded they are. But then again, all I did was predict that a monkey would fling it's own shit around lol.>>10943031>Those don't count because I said soOk retard #2.
>>10943087Just equating you with the retards who think diecast is a valuable substance just because it's heavy.Competely retarded take to equate heavier plastics as being higher quality or even durable.And no, i didn't buy any of Bandai's Space Marines, because they really didn't look better than McFarlane's and turned out that they weren't more poseable either.These threads were pretty great in the beginning, because we had a lot of honest posts from people comparing their toys.>Robot Damashiis are BETTER than Bandai's WH40K line in every wayWay to show how dishonest you are, considering the RD line has little to no paint, while Bandai is at least giving their WH40k figures shading and woweee, even metallic gold paint. And earlier posters said they were equal except price. So what changed since?BTW, i was literally the first person on /toy/ to reveal the facts about diecast and i like to squash any ignorant ideas by constantly reminding people about it, since it took years for the retards to finally accept diecast is shit.It's a harder to do the same with plastics, because we rarely get info on what plastics they use, muchless the actual formulas they're using. So i can only point toward lines like LEGO using light plastics and withstanding children abusing it or polycarbonate being used for bullet proof glass and CD/DVD/BDs used as frisbees without shattering. ... or pointing to lines using made of heavier plastics being brittle, but i really can't bring these up without inflaming so many buttholes.
>>10943094>ugly primaris legs and gills
>>10943094The only thing right with that design is the helmet and tabard; the rest belong in the bin with the rest of the primaris shit.
>>10943046Gosh this makes me want joytoy to tackle tactical squad members, one with an auspex, one with an old flamer or plasma gun, one with a bolter and the veteran sergeant.I curse the day primaris shit reared its head and normies caught onto warhammer, I wait 30 years to finally get my warhammer figures and they make them out of the most corporate slopped designed by committee aberrations.It is inevitable that all good things come to an end, the vanguard veterans are so awesome but they just don’t quite scratch that itch like devastators, assault marines and tactical marines.
>>10943046I want this so bad.I made a few customs already but they just don't feel as cool on the primaris bodies unless I replace damn near everything with 3D printed parts.
>>10943119>Acknowledges that the die cast tirade was a strawman>Keeps on talking about die cast>Admits to never owning a bandai marine, but somehow is still the expert>Also thinks himself the source of common knowledgeWell, we do know that he's schizophrenic, so checks out.
How do you keep dust off your JT figures? My room gets really dusty really quickly for some reason and I am having to dust them off every few days, but just blowing on them doesn't produce enough force to get it all off, and feather dusters just get stuck on pointy bits and can't get into crevices.
>>10942958what is this from?
>>10941437Weird background/extreme foreground dudes are my favourite parts of any large scale Warhammer painting, so it has to be the scribe, servitor or Servoskull. Not that the others aren't nice, but at the end of the day they don't have the same kind of rotting, demented medieval horror that I like in the Imperium.>>10942883I got this guy and his two pals last week and they're pretty great. I was surprised how well the flying stands work.
>>10943568Does that mean you got the grey knight and/or gravis captain with their respective servo skulls?When they do death guard, they should include a pinch of nurglings with each figure.

Ive never touched magma before yet i know it's ho... oh wait, I'm talking to a retard who can barely understand English, so this is falling on deaf ears huh?>source of common knowledgeLiterally am and retards like yourself still exist, thus i need to hammer out facts that diecast is a shit material (were you even here when the Figuart TMNT came out and people thought diecast was a premium material just because the figuart was expensive?) and that the Joytoy figures aren't made of premium material just because they feel heavier for their size than Bandai's Warhammer figures.Stupidity is endless and retards like yourself need to be constantly edumacated.
>>10943568>I got this guy and his two pals last week and they're pretty great.which would you say is best?

>>10943748because few people here actually likes warhammer and would rather get into fights over toneSpeaking of which, i noticed that almost all boards on 4chan were talking about the Horus Heresy/Siege series, except for /toy/. Tons and tons of speculation and threads on what would happen in the last book in the past few months, which was pretty fun and surprising how many WH40k fans there are across msot of the boards./toy/ really is the lowest of the low.

>>10943796Put Primaris in a trashbag. Put the trashbag full of Primaris in the dumpster, then wait for the garbage truck to pick up the dumpster with the trashbag full of Primaris.

>>10944060I simply don't care enough to hate themI like Warhammer more than I care about some relatively small aesthetic changes. These are still Space Marines at the end of the day, and once I replaced most of their heads with 3D printed Mk 6/7 ones, the rest of the details like the knees are totally inconsequential to me

>>10944391I like primaris. more precisely, i like mk X tacticus armor. lore shit is kinda dumb (them being "better", and even taller for no reason), but i do like the idea of a blander geneseed being made, and the two boss dudes (guilliman and cawl) steamrolling every chapters cuture and practices of recruitment, and force feeding them these sorely needed new recruits. the bitter sweet nature feels in line with the overall universe, somewhat (they really do need these recruits, but it clashes with their dogmatic practices, and what should be an easy boon is controversial in universe).>>10944390had to clarify that point, because your the retarded one, asking for mk VII, and then dismissing every mk VII (and older) figures that are already out. first its 'I want mk VII', then when wolf gets pointed out, 'no i doesnt count, it doesnt have the helmet', so the sternguard vet with mk VII helmet gets announced, but now its 'eww its shit, still no mk VII'.but now we know that your a retarded baby, and should go to the short bus with subby.
>>10943578I've actually only just started collecting these things, but yes I am looking out for the Grey Knights. I have started with some Sisters and Necrons that were on sale in a local shop, and found the Vanguard Vets online. The Necron lord is quite disappointing, and one of his dangly chest chains snapped off almost immediately, but I was very impressed with the others.More little guys in an accessory type pack would be great. As well as Nurglings you could have servo-skulls and Cherubs to go with all the various Imperials, Necron Scarabs, Tyranid Rippers, and Tau Drones.
>>10944525Sucked that joytoy didn't go that route (scarabs with necrons, drones with tau), which is funny cuz McFarlane made a scarab to go with their necron warrior lol.A little baggy of nerglings in slime would be hilarious! Would trigger some autists lmao
>>10944527I got a drone from printthink, I still need to put it together and paint it but it looks pretty good. Think he does scarabs too.

Beakie with Chainsword I found easiest to pose dynamically for some reason, Incredibly Angry Darth Vader's helmet is nicely painted, and Snoot has a lot of extra touches as the leader like a giant aquilla on the jump pack (and an extra head, although I don't think I've ever seen anyone use it). The one major downside I've found is Vader's shield - I don't know if its just an issue with mine, but the handle is very loose in his grip so it keeps flopping about, and its quite hard to pose him like he's actually fighting.>>10946207Would make sense, Space Wolves and Thousand Sons are the traditional matchup and Geigor Big Claw was part of a set with with 30k Ahriman as his opposite number. They could maybe be planning something similar with Abbadon, and have a "modern" 40k counterpart at some point.
>>10946218>box setso you say Sisters of Silence next?
>>10946101What a silly-looking figure.
>>10946358I could see it. They'd complement the Custodes and at the end of the day it wouldn't be that much work to adapt a basic Sisters of Battle figure.
>>10946101will 30k Wolves all have this darker grey? I like it.
>>10946101What armor mk. is this?
>>10947214Heavily modified Mk4 - its got the angular kneepads and slightly longer gut plate beneath the skull and crossbones.
these count right?
>>10947554
>>10947555
>>10947554>>10947555>>10947557i wish megabloks took a stab at the wh40k universe. they got the halo license and made some neat sets and minifigures with it, surely they could do the same. imagine the army sizes
>>10947731then you'd really be able to recreate those massive scale battlescapes.
>>10947731GW would never go for it, it would be way too close competition for their own minis. McFarlane and JoyToy are doing very different large-scale shit, and even that took like 30+ years to happen because GW was always afraid of cannibalizing their sales. Mega Construx would make a mockery of their overpriced minis, being about the same size but fully poseable, with swappable weapons and armor, and much cheaper. Who would ever buy a mini again? People would just start playing/army building with Mega instead.
>>10947860It would have been cool as hell for making your own custom Marines though. This pic doesn't even show that the belt/crotchplate and all the limb segments are modular as well, you could mix and match to your heart's content. Hell, there would probably be tiny little custom resin printed bits for them.
>>10946453Yep. Original legion colors. Dark angels used to be black if I remember correctly. A lot of legions changed colours after the heresy
>>10946218So we're getting thousand sons next, judging by that image?
>>10948584God I hope so.Would be awesome if we got HH Thousand Sons and Rubrics at the same time!That said, candy apply red should be interesting given all the trouble they're having with gold.
I can't decide whether I should go all-in on some Space Wolves right now. I've never been a massive fan of them, but have always had a fondness for Bjorn the dreadnought and am interested in getting him now that he's back, but then I would need some basic intercessors to go with him, and then I would need a leader for them, and then some terminator representation too... and it would be a whole rabbit hole. I'm also just wary of buying any non-character figures right now since the scale is changing and they might be reworking all of the basic infantry soon.
>>10948877>but have always had a fondness for Bjorn the dreadnought and am interested in getting him now that he's backfair warning, his arms move but not his legs like the Redemptor'snot sure if thats the case for all boxnoughts, but its definitely the case for Bjorn
>>10948889Its not the case for the Grey Knight boxnaught either, so I assume its also the same for the Ultramarine its a repaint of.
>>10948889>>10948920can confirm the ultramarine dreads legs DO move
>>10949066Bjorn has knees. I just checked. Maybe anon's legs are just stiff?
>>10949079Huh, so he doesMy bad anon, guess I just didn't play with him enough before setting him up to notice after I saw his legs couldn't move back and forth at the "hip" I suppose it could be calledHe can move at the waist though, but I suppose that might be more for torso movement rather than the legs
>>10949089Yea, they are definitely more restricted than the Redemptors, but that's why the classic dreads are so much cooler lol. I really hope they make some more. Would especially love a DA one with lascannon and missile launcher using the forgeworld venerable chasis.
>>10949089What on earth are you talking about? Even Venerable Dreadnought legs are fully articulated and move on every major axis. Were you too scared to handle it and didn't notice the articulation? Hips move way forward and back (you can make it do back-to-front splits even) and a little bit outward for a slightly wide stance, knees work as they should, ankles are balljointed. That's quite good for such stumpy designs.
female custodes, y/n?my answer is "theoretically sound in-universe but would probably just muddle the waters by this point"
>>10950135>female custodesThat's a weird name for sisters of silence.
>>10950135Appears to be canon as of their new codex. Personally I don't really care, I think they should release all kinds of head packs to be used with any army, so people can finally shut up about the whole thing
>>10950135>>10950317>must be legit cause of new woke canon! kys faggots
>>10950135Literally just woke pandering, sucks shit that GW is finally caving on reconning established lore for this shit when they could just support the sisters of silece more instead.Marines are next.
>>10950481>not being positive about canon muscle mommiesI think you might be the faggot here, anon.
>>10950602I'm betting that it's just some stupid ass "trans" shit, where the custodians in question merely identify as "female"/use female pronouns, so that way GW gets to go "look, we didn't ruin canon, because the aspirant was physically male!", and that way they get their pandering points, too.
>>10950481Warhammer canon changes whenever they write a new codex. Why does it matter what genitals are under the big golden suit of armor
>>10950755kys already troon
>>10950718>I'm going to make shit up in my head to get angry at
>>10950838I know right? trans people really are the worst.
>>10950759Why haven't we got a half-eldar space marine figure from Joytoy yet? It's canon, after all
>>10950990Or maybe Joytoy can make "female warrior gabs" next.
>>10950602>It's only retconning when I don't like it!!!
>>10951011lmao they just can't stop taking Ls
>>10951011>90s era first gen lore that got phased out with shit like space marines just being military policePathetic reach.
>>10951222so when the lore changed and evolved back then it was a good thing, but when it changes and evolves now, it's a bad thing.got it chief, rock solid logic
>>10951227>early phased-out 1st edition lore is just as valid as lore that has been established and in circulation for 25+ years!!!>new lore just bald-facedly contradicts the decades old preceding lore without even an attempt to add a reason for it(AKA this is some new thing that Cawl or the gene-crafters in the Imperial palace have tried, no it's actually ALWAYS been the case, somehow.)Speaking of logic, yours is unsurprisingly garbage. Same type of logic a troon would use to justify "I was always a woman" lmao.
>>10951227I'd say its bad not just because the lore is changing, but because its obviously changing for do-nothing, "you may now praise us peasants" reasons instead of adding anything genuine to the settingits just like pronoun selections in games now, these things always existed in games but now companies want to do the most bare minimum amount of work and expect to be praised for it, in this case claiming the non-existent head under the golden helmet has lipstick on and has apparently always had lipstick onif they actually made female custodes something distinct on their own (ideally without trampling all over the SoS's grave) that'd be one thing, and it might even be a good thing, but it'd also be going counter to the "anything you can do I can do better" spirit of the whole female space marine, and now custodes, ideathis is just laziness and a display that GW doesn't care about the integrity of their work anymore
>>10950602at least I can stop buying all this shit
>>10951259The custodes have only had "lore" since 7th edition, retard. And the only thing that had to be changed was removing the word "sons". If you actually knew the "lore" you're fixating on, you'd know custodes don't even go through the same procedure space marines do, so the "no girls allowed" rule doesn't even apply to them.
>>10951261i mean if it impacts essentially nothing, doesn't affect you directly, and might make someone else happy, what's the harm in thati don't see why it's something to complain about
>>10950698safe horny redditard answer>>10951361pathetic tourist pedantry >>10951374the people who cheer for this crap don't deserve to be happy and you completely fail to recognize the rapidly approaching onset of the bottom of the slippery slope where everything becomes meaningless crap unrecognizable from what it once wasenjoy your new precious goyslop, subhumans, you've wormed your way into another franchise, defiled it, and set it on the fast track to the pure fecal delight degenerate filth like you enjoy eating
So, we can discuss the Custodes thing here? Because people are getting banned and threads have been deleted on /tg/.
>>10951361No amount of half-baked reasoning will make it make sense when we've only ever seen male custodes through-ought 40+ hourus heresy books and more 40k era books after that.If there were actually females this whole time, they would have shown up in the Horus Heresy series, but SURPRISE!, they didn't. >7th editionLmao, custodes have only ever been male since the first time they were introduced, decades ago. This is purely the result of some GW board-meeting to get more ESG and blackrock-bux and that's literally all there is to it.
>>10951419And here they are, top-investors lmao.Doomed lads, we are doomed.
>>10951513>t. I don't know what index and pension funds are
>>10951513Why single those 2 out and not the other investment companies listed? Because only those 2 are mentioned on the schizo twitter threads and youtube shit you consume?
what will you do with your joytoys when warhammer becomes absolute shit and you hate it?
>>10951525i hope they start hating them and feel compelled to get rid of them so i can buy them all on the cheap
>>10951525I'll probably just kill myself
>>10951528but according to my question you hate warhammer too at that point.
>>10951566i will never hate warhammeri've liked it since i was a kid and my convictions are strong enough that GW's decisions don't affect my opinion on it whatsoever
>>10951570
>>10951601is over
Soooooooo I'll be seeing y'all in Space King?Jokes aside, it is pretty sad to see yet another cool fiction lose to "the agenda". The fuckers ruined star wars, and now the infection is here for Warhammer.
>>10951719
>>10951516>>10951518>Pretending these companies are "just" index/pension funds who have no ESG effect on the companies they invest inAre you really this ignorant or are you merely pretending to be retarded?They literally Admit what they are doing out loud.https://youtu.be/eTDdDgr-xYo?si=5zFmrAgzc3fBNQEt
>>10951419>Custodes have only ever been male since the first time they were introduced, decades agoSource? Should be easy, since you seem to know that that was the case decades ago so confidentlyThey also used to look like this, so rage about that retcon if you like.
>>10951719yeah I'm already feeling less enthusiastic about everything 40k
>Sigmarxist troon tourists are invading the /toy/ 40K threads nowIt's ogre.
>>10952026>SoUrCE???The fucking Emperor himself said so. Where will you move the goalpost next, troon?
>>10952069>Sigmarxist troon touristsI'm a long time /toy/ poster with 2500ish pts of models that I painted myself, and I play regularly. I find pride flag paint jobs retarded and ugly, and I personally don't really care what the canon says, since it's a game where half the fun is building and customizing your models to suit fluff you made up for your own dudes. I just like watching people sperg out at the word "she" appearing in the fluff no one reads.
>>10952111You said decades, but you just posted an image from the 8th edition codex. So you admit that it's only been since 7th edition then? Or do you have "decades" old proof? The goalposts are exactly where they were before, you just missed them entirely.
>>10952113>I don't care about the cannon, except I care enough to antagonize the people that actually do respect the lore and ask them to provide sources while I post none myself.>also I have a 2500point army that I conveniently will not post any images of. Ok retard.
if joytoy can start producing sexy animarines it would all.be worth it
>>10952116>No, codex entries don't count because I don't like the number 8 or 9. >No a Quote from the Emperor talking about his own body-guards doesn't count>No it doesn't matter that in literally every depiction of art, models and books over the past 25+ years Custodes were always men>anime reaction picsI regret to inform you, that you will NEVER-EVER be a woman.
>>10952118Sure, have a pic of my transport case loaded up to test what would fit on each level, I guess. Obviously not everything fits, I've got a knight and a flyer plus whatever I've painted since the pic as well. Imagine "respecting the lore" of a franchise whose rules, fluff, and trash-tier novels are written by dozens of people with no consistent vision. Literally the only common thread through all 40k media is that they are owned by the same company. You can literally just decide that you don't like the new canon and ignore it, but instead you're throwing a baby tantrum on a mongolian basket weaving forum, and not even the board dedicated to tabletop gaming. It's all fiction, and you don't have to beg a corporation to tell you which fiction is less fake, you can decide for yourself. >>10952129Your concession that the source material you are citing does not go back decades is accepted. The majority of depictions of custodes are wearing identical golden helmets and armor, I'm not sure how you'd even decide what their genitals are. >You will never be a womanThank christ for that, what an awful fate.
>>10951719>>10952059Knew it was coming with the Amazon TV-series, but I had hoped the woke retardation would be confined to the TV-show. 40k already had a good deal of brand recognition, but I guess a normie-spotlight like the Cavil's show was the final nail in coffin.The powers that be can't allow "classic" 40K to be mainstream.
>>10952113I hate this argument because it glosses over the real issue with strawmen; hurr durr your just -ist and -phobic. The issue is changing what has been to suit those that may be, rather than those that are. It's what ruined Halo, it's what ruined Star Wars, and it will ruin 40k, ESPECIALLY since one of 40k's biggest appeal is the long standing established lore.People don't hate this because they hate women, or don't want icky girls to invade their boys club, they hate that the company is willing to abandon their LONG standing fans to cater to POTENTIAL new fans. Halo died because they didn't want to make Halo anymore, they wanted to make some new shit that nobody asked for, but they wanted the success of Halo, because they knew that their shit ideas won't stand on their own. Halo fans just wanted Halo, but instead we got stupid shit like halo 5 and the HBO show.People are mad about female custodes because they know it's not about expanding, enhancing, or even challenging the established lore in a meaningful way, it's about pandering, and pandering has never been good for anything.Primaris was handled much better than this shit show, because they at least made them controversial within universe as well (in other words, they challenged the established lore in a meaningful way which adds many great storytelling potential, such as some chapters outright murdering the desperately needed reinforcements).
>>10952240>I hate this argumentWhat argument? Is the person using "-ist" and "-phobic" in the room with us? I'm a white male with a wife, I quietly scoff when people make a fuss about isms and phobias, and I roll my eyes when my company talks about "diversity equity and inclusion". You're arguing with someone who isn't here. I just think it's embarrassing that people like you think of themselves as a righteous warrior in a secret culture war when they argue that 2024's corporate product is inferior to 2019s, because the new one changed the "lore" slightly. New star wars isn't bad because "woke", it's bad because it's been purchased and mismanaged by a corporation that should have already known how to manage an IP that valuable. Star Wars is a perfect example of how you should pick for yourself what is "canon" when you're dealing with franchises managed by a revolving door of people with their own idea of what it should be. You can just ignore the sequels or the prequels, or the random series they make, it's all just fiction. You can choose what fake things are faker. Stop entangling your identity and your self-worth with the machinations of companies whose only motive is profit. Take the /yourdudes/ pill and let 40k be a loose framework for the story you want to tell. "Lore" is for fags, embrace fluff, and write your own.
My response to anybody who quits over this custodes lore stuff:And nothing of value was lost.
>>10952321yep p muchgood riddance
>>10952321>>10952330Lol ok seeya in five years when 40k is being buried in the dead-franchise graveyard, right next to Doctor Who, StarWars, Marvel and DC.
sorry 40k bros but after that amazon deal your the next starwars.
>>10952321>>10952330Replying to yourself with the pretense that someone else is agreeing with you is a practice called samefagging, and one generally looked down upon here, reddit tranny. Go dilate and then kill yourself.
>>10952382>Total franchise death imminentDon't threaten me with a good time. Franchises are killing the arts. I'd give anything to stop having remakes, sequels, and adaptations dominate film and television.
>>10952382none of that matters unless you have no personality of your own and your taste is beholden to that of others. i know what i like and i can continue to like the same things about it no matter what changes.
>>10952428You're a fuckin idiot.
>>10952304My bad, I forgot to link the overarching issue with YOUR particular take (I got interrupted mid post, and just hastily hit post when I came back to it).Your complacency. People like you that try to act above it all. "It's not an issue" becomes "your being dramatic and making stuff up in your head", which then becomes "it's not THAT bad, this recent drop in quality is anomalous", and so fourth. If you don't care that much about something, thats fine, but don't try to act like anybody that does is wrong.The funny thing is, relatively speaking, IM not in that deep! I've only been around for 4 years, but my stake is the obvious pattern of ruination that I'm sadly too familiar with. I was hoping that 40k would be a safe haven for lore nerds to sperg out over continuity and such autistic shit, because it can be fun to become entrenched in things. And at one point, I, too, was naively complacent, like you. I thought such concepts as "NORMIE GET OUT! REEEEEEEE-!" was stupid, but now I see the wisdom in such. I thought that the idea of a cabal of "woke" or "SJWs" or whatever, trying to infiltrate fandoms to make them compliant with "the agenda" was ridiculous schizophrenia, but it's happened to so many things!Now I wonder, is the issue these parasitic invaders, or the complacent fools that let them run unchecked?
i love how this thread suddenly explodes, with people seemingly experts about what's been going on in Warhammer 40k for the past 40 years, yet two years ago, you fucks didn't even know what a Primaris Space Marine was
Only good thing about the death of warhammer is that it begins with Cavallis favourites.
AAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEE go woke go broke!!!!
>>10952882Post models.
>>10952882wow, what a surprise that subby the faggot is also a tranny enableryes, we know you dont care about canon being shot to shit. because you're just some filthy fucking secondary.no models, no codex, only youtube lorelet videos and schizo meltdowns
>>10952882I love how your commentary, the pic name, and the contents of said pic, have absolutely nothing in common, besides being misused to fuel your schizophrenic delusions.Mental illness, everyone.>>10953108Don't forget he can never post primary sources, just use Google to repost someone else's media's.
"that's cannon!?""Always has been"
so we won't talk about toys anymore?
>>10953375Well, you can try, I don't know, posting toys? Starting topics that you want discussed?
>>10953375usually this thread is dead unless there's a new leak so idk what you expected
