>>Previous thread:>>95977190 >Thread Question:What army are you starting next?
>>95980313 (OP)>TQI've got a few unbuilt units but I'm stuck between building more knights and building Drukhari
>>95980313 (OP)Putting plain helmets on all these gay dawi wannabes
>>95980313 (OP)If they did this for Votann I would have bought them
Which 40K character has the same energy as Captain Spaulding?
>>95980340Solitaire because clown
>TQ
Iโm selling my world eaters, probably gonna wait and see whatโs gonna be in the 11th starter.
>New lore about Inquisitors and Grey Knights discussing Khorne
>They say humanity's struggle against Khorne's destruction of reality empowers Khorne and feeds into the very demise that they are struggling against. The very act of fighting against Khorne gives him power and seeds the doom of mankind, yet humanity has no choice but to fight on
Why did GW write Chaos to be such a busted faction? There is no internal balance.
>>95980340Average Harlequin troupe leader
>>95980378It's irrelevant, Tyranids eat everything in the end anyways.
>>95980393Actually....Qaramar is a daemon who exists at the end of time. His job is to guard the final moments of the universe. His existence proves that Chaos existed up until the heat death of the universe. So that means that the Tyranids failed.
bought my first box of space marines in 15 years and damn these dudes are big now.
i feel like gene-stealers are black coded
>>95980411just because they like dirt bikes and hand flamers?
>>95980313 (OP)>TQThink I'm gonna go in on Eldar. Picked up Eldrad recently because I think his model is cool and I just need something fresh to paint after doing so much Mechanicus. Plus the Falcon and Wraithguard models look neat
>>95980423no, their faces just make them look like niggers to me; however i am drinking wine atm
>>95980402Lore citation please? Genuine asking and not the anon you responded to.
>>95980430that's not nice :(
Monday is the deadline for both vehicle submissions and the vote for next months theme. You can submit your vehicles to this post if you haven't done so already.
Here is the link to the vote https://strawpoll.com/bVg8Bm591yY
Elite squad is still in the lead.
Next month I'll set more concrete dates and deadlines. I don't wanna be controlling but I feel it would prevent confusion and the info could be attached in the op to make it easy to see.
>>95980313 (OP)>tqI only just started my sisters army, I was between this, mechanicus, dark angels and drukhari so I guess eventually I might start one of those too.
>>95980434Dark Imperium series. Qaramar gets summoned from the end of the universe to fight Roboute. Gets beaten but survives perma-death by the Emperor's Sword because fate ordains that he must witness the end of the universe.
Just picked up EC after GSC, but if I was going to make a 3rd army (and not be smart like always), I'd find a way to spam Ogryn in IG.
Or Chaos Knights.
>I hate having money.
>>95980439It's the appropriate response to Eldar players.
>>95980450Close enough thank you.
>>95980402The timeline can change
just impulse purchased like ยฃ200 of warhammer stuff
Which Space Marine legion should I go for this feel?
>>95980442I redid the basing on my Knight so now I wanna say she's ready.
Even machine-spirits can grieve.
>>95980487Look like White Scars.
>>95980442What would elite squad =?
Non-battleline over 100p?
>>95980313 (OP)>>Thread Question:>What army are you starting next?Tyranids
>>95980484Thatโs okay i impulse bought less than that but it was on art supplies for this hobby.
>>95980313 (OP)I ain't starting shit! I'm actually finishing my armies before I even think about starting anything! I got four fucking Tormentors finished, I ain't buying any warhammer models that aren't EC until I've finished 2,000 points of EC AND i've finished my Cities army for AoS. It's called discipline, it's called seeing something through to the end!
>>95980487something tells me... dark... eagles?
>>95980313 (OP)>TQHonestly? None. I've found all my great loves. MAYBE I would paint a few squads as Crimson Fists to add to my Blood Ravens but that's hardly a different army. I have Guard, I have Sisters, I have the aforementioned Blavens, I have Orks and Deldar. I just... don't like Chaos. They don't appeal to me in any manner.
>>95980510Remember before this edition there was a Force Organization chart with a slot called Elite?
>Paint Marines as Blood Ravens
>Can use Chapter-specific models as proxies and just say they were 'gifted'
Hehehe
>>95980442Are submissions open tomorrow?
>>95980313 (OP)>TQAfter my Iyanden are done I think I might start a Cadian army.
>>95980493Much nicer anon, good shit
>slowly backlog has developed
Its not awful but its enough to bother me
Its the painting that's so time consuming. When I rejoined in lockdown I had all day now just sundays
>>95980510What used to be the old elite slot. Think terminator equivalent units. Big boy squads.
army for the delusional misanthrope sociopath?
>>95980586your mouth could use a good fucking
>>95980313 (OP)>TQCsm. Got my hands on so nice retro csm recently. All I gotta do is decide the colour scheme.
>>95980589What do you mean? Space marines is the right army for any and all personality types.
>>95980597i dont know you just seem like a complete asshole: like if i had a game against and i was winning you'd be smug about it, making snide comments toward me in order to cope.
>>95980493Very cool. I knew you'd make it.
I don't think I'll ever go to a tourney but I'm curious, does the battle-ready requirement require the same scheme on all units? I have a CSM army and a DG army, sometimes I like to use the Predators from the CSM army on my DG to switch it up, but they're painted in their own scheme different to the DG. Is this legal?
>>95980378I always assumed that just like chaos vs chaos fights, being defeated overrides any spiritual gains you would get.
>>95980600I just responded with an army and you insulted me. I wonder who the snide asshole is.
>>95980567>>95980601Thanks anons. As it turns out I just gotta douse my gravel in a little bit of 50% skeleton horde 50% agrax and it looks much better.
>>95980378Humanity beats khorne by using nulls and using enforced peace.
Eldar beat khorne by meditating and wearing warmasks.
You basically have to be above khorne. But in a battle you can beat a khorne force by force because khorne himself is fair. He basically goes in with a little battle plan and limits how much he will bless and send into a battle. Once his internal limit is met he just focuses on something else.
>>95980609defiantly you, i can feel it through my computer screen. i know it, i feel it.
>>95980615I have been nothing but polite. I hope you get the help you need.
I know White Scars and Dark Angels are know for bikes, but what other space marine chapters do the whole bike thing?
>>95980402Eldar defeat chaos with the help of humanity when Fuegan games the dragon of the end
>>95980618you're a fake bitch through and through.
>>95980623Sure thing tough guy
>>95980623Nta but please get some help to change and grow. Youโre reminding me of what I was like at fifteen ten years ago.
why is everyone on this website so bitter and hateful
>>95980629>>95980628nothing tough about it, nothing that needs helping.
>>95980631I don't know but it's really starting to tire me out
>>95980631It's summer. Once the kids go back to school it'll get a bit better .
Post what you're working on, just applied Slaanesh Gray over Alien Purple over their skin. I realized I did not really paint the exposed skin under the carapace on some of them so that needs fixing.
>>95980644There has never been an increase in site traffic during the summer
>>95980625Hey these fellas sound familiar
>>95980631Most people are decent here, it's just a handful of spiteful spergs that shitstir every chance they get
How likely is it for a warband to be in control of or allied with a chaos forge world? I want mydudes to have a reason why there getting such a steady supply of equipment and augmentations
>>95980313 (OP)Where is a good place to get/read all of the codex and books without giving GW any money? I tried finding some second hand, but the prices were a bit ridiculous.
>>95980340Lucius. Dude has a sense of humor then just kills in rough ways.
>>95980313 (OP)>ye olde dreadlock beards
>>95980442where dos one upload the pics? Here?
>>95980669Yeah just respond to the post with your picture.
>>95980442Do people who replied to one of the earlier posts have to repost their submissions?
>>95980669>>95980686are you people unironically retarded or something
>>95980693>Warhammer "players">reading Pick one.
Are the Word Bearers actually the most pragmatic of the traitor legions? They arenโt completely under the thumb of a single god like the main four legions are and they arenโt sticking their heads in the sand about using chaos like the IW, NL, and AL are. They accept all that worshipping chaos entails and how to get the most out of it
>>95980339This except giving them tusks.
>>95980686No, it's just if you haven't submitted your model yet. I'll double check last weeks threads for submissions too so I don't miss anyone.
What's the consensus on the new drop pod? I assume that by "modular" debris they mean you can make it totally clean, right? The coolest part of the drop pod is being able to put it down and open it.
>>95980313 (OP)>TQ It's still far away in the future, but right now I'm thinking Dark Angels.
>>95980707It's fixed down but debris is optional.
I'm glad I have my opening-closing Drop pod but actually painting them is so fucking cancer that I'm alright with it going
>>95980707There's no reason why the kit should waste space for debris instead of making the doors closable
it's insulting
>>95980648batch painting my way though backlog. waiting for oils to dry before i base, paint lenses, and varnish
>>95980714>>95980719>doesn't closeI'm unreasonably mad at this information
>>95980707>>95980719>>95980734you retards have never put together the godawful current drop pods if you don't understand why they removed the optional closed doors
>>95980707>Official model showing off that it's easier>Still has a really noticable gapgonna still be hell to build, huh
>>95980707I love how they left the obvious printing layer lines in and also didn't green stuff the gap on the center strut closed. Really goes to show the effort this company goes through for us.
>>95978481>nyarlothep-like wandering messenger of tiamat, the absolute first patriarch of all genestealers, born on the moon of ymgarl, a twisting figure of writhing tentacles more than a coherent organism, extremely religious vibesReally cool idea
>an even more xenomorph-like lone agent, the gimmick is that noone has the slightest idea what it is, beyond that's possibly a pitch black genestealer, and that it's so negatively psychic that the other tyranids on the battlefield need to stay away from it (and that narratively speaking, the hive has to put it down at the end of the battle)Reminds me of when anons were making a hypothetical blank tyranid and it needing to be lanuched as an egg and hatch planet side and needed to be killed and reabsorbed after the fact
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>95980754Everybody who's touched the new kit said it's a breeze to assemble compared to the old
Arbitrators have achieved mainstream coolness. What do?
>>95980761One day you will answer for your crimes. I can feel it.
>>95980785>Nah, I'd arrest you.
>>95980658Totally plausible if not probable.
>>95980442>character in the lead nowDang it, I had just started to plan out what squad I was gonna do.
>>95980785What comes next after the arbites?
>>95980785now to follow through with the (stolen) theme
>>95980378>thinking that the power of 40k factions comes down to anything other than their narratives being written to hype them up as cooler than the rest in ways that are constantly contradicting the fact that the other factions have been given the same treatmentForget the specifics, grasp the concept and explore how they all throw themselves into the meatgrinder of a war that will end with either everyone dead or no one happy. It's all background context for the battles in the actual game and anyone who thinks otherwise is a coping book shiller.
I would like to purchase a Crusade book, but I find it hard to care about Armageddon. How โagnosticโ are Crusade rules? As in, if I were to hunt down a Crusade book from a previous edition could I still use it with 10thโs rules with minimal homebrewing?
What does /40kg/ think about fan fiction stories
>>95980908Wasnโt there an unofficial 40k chapter book sold on Amazon at some point?
>>95980693Yes I am, just read it a second time and saw it.
>>95980678thank you, i for next month up. kek just finishing a squad of stern guard. if elite makes it.
>>95980876Damn there should be a chapter called the Metal Fingers or something for cool guys like him.
>>95980761Dark eldar more like fart smelldar lmaooo
>codexes are 70 USD
I just want the art, not publishing an art book every edition with all the art from the new rulebooks is goddamn terrible
>>95980922If Elite squad, Crisis suit
If non-faction character, Neurolictor (ik its technically elite infantry but bite me, the model looks cool)
>TQ
I'm starting a CSM army. Tested out the color scheme for the power armor on this Warp Talon, trying to decide what color the trim should be.
>>95980753the old drop pod is piss easy and players are just retards
turns out you just....lay the base of it flat on the table, lay the doors in place and then attach the top of the hull (that you assembled earlier)
>>95980939Spoken like a retard who's never built one
>>95980785They're a neat retinue option for an inquisitor, it's cool that you can splash them into any list without breaking the bank.
Vigilant squads are OC:2, so aren't terrible objective sitters for armies that need that like knights
Subductors are annoying to deal with because of their 4++, kind of taking the same role that crusaders used to have in Guard armies
>>95980876>I press this button and our fleet in low orbit will project the Brown Note over the entire battlefield, causing everyone on this hemisphere to shit their pants. Your move Salamander
>>95980943i've built 3 in the past
>>95980830I'm guessing a Tech Adept. Although I'd be down for sanctioned xenos.
>>95980908Fan fiction about /yourdudes/ is based, anything else is cringe
>>95980974>Didn't post themno you haven't.
>>95980934White trim for peak S0VL
>>95980930I feel like Codexโs should have bespoke missions themed around the specific army for playing games. Maybe even themed around the Edition Combat Patrol.
>>95981024>vertical monitor>solely for discordFor what point? Erp?
>>95980378In Angron the red angel
The GK are chasing Angron and purposely starting wars to spawn enough slaughter to get him to show up, and when they finally catch up, are so bloodthirsty to kill him and some GK's that were blood angels fall to the red thirst to such an extent that Angron just respawns and regenerates off of their aura of hatred and anger alone and is acknowledged in the book.
Saw somebody here post pet pics on EoB's server and the motherfucker has a pet fox
>>95981024Might be one of the only people who likes world eaters more than me/10
>>95981034Its so I can play Chess or look up other shit when I play TTS and during work I juggle 2-3 excel spreadsheets while using the front monitor for vidya calls (WFH = TTS on the clock baby)
>>95981024>catsuit on the floorDesgusteng
>TQ
Finally making a silly dream come true of making a Khorne army I can use both in 40k and AoS.
Vashtorr? Never heard of him. This is a Skinny Legend Daemon Prince of Khorne.
>>95981039I have a world eater tattoo and Im kinda known worldwide for erm, doing something in the opponents shooting phase....
>>95980992>what is past tense
>>95981043This is someone's son.
I wonder how those parents feel.
>>95981024Not yours out of ten
>>95981042thats hilariously a bolter that fell off a model and a red cap from an expo. I have children that roam this room.
>>95980985>Tech Adept.Iโm surprised techsorcists arenโt that popular. Donโt know why your post reminded me of them. But it is ffg stuff so that might as well be considered obscure 40k lore nowadays.
>>95981024Yet another tumble dry or iron your goddamn temu flag out of 10.
>>95981031I didn't even realize that's what I had done.
I'll see if I have a good metallic white.
>>95981024>not an unfinished basement where the painting station is separate from room with computer in it7.5 out of 10
Your setup is comfy though.
>>95980648Finished this guy, working on my techmarine now.
>>95981045It's fine as a 40k army but it's kind of the gayest shit as a aos army and just comes across as brokeboy behavior
>>95981047>cope for why you can't post themyawn, try harder next time when you're going to larp about model assembly
>>95981067it all blend together, should've used some brighter colors
>>95981067looks great
nice job on the whip highlights
>>95981024>popcorn ceiling>crown moulding only on the drop ceiling>carpet>glass block accent window3/10
>>95981067Whip turned out really nice sallyfren, I know you were stressing about it
>>95981086That's not popcorn ceiling
>>95981061U rite
>>95981065its been ad hoc so Ill take it
>>95981069Yes, I'm broke. What of it?
Eldar don't have weapons that can destroy planets.
Lamest faction confirmed?
>>95981112It's depressing
>>95981099Why don't I recognize even a single model from your cabinets, also does that LOS have fucking wings
>>95981124he has a unfinished heldrake sitting on top of him, so, kinda yes.
>>95981099Well at least you're not a fat fuck.
>>95981147Naw I powerlift and compete in Muay Thai and BJJ
>>95981035>and some GK's that were blood angels fall to the red thirstWhat?
That doesn't make any sense, GKs aren't blood angels at all
>>95981124that's great that you can identify every poster by the curl of their ball hair bro
>>95981114Most faction's don't have the means to utterly DESTROY a planet readily on hand.
In this case we're not talking about an Exterminatus level cleansing which everyone can do easily, we're talking about rendering the planet down to dust in an instant.
Fittingly enough the way they pull it off is with a gift from Vect himself.
>>95981154Do the nails bite, brother?
>>95981157A lot of the original GK were scattered from loyalist legions and scalped for their psyker abilities after the advent of the horus heresy. Recruits after this had to endure the 666 trials. Read Moar
>>95981099>/40kg/ user that isnโt fatI kneel
And now I gotta start diet and exercise.
>>95981154>BJJBlowjob jitsu?
>>95981217Yeah, I can get a guy off in 5 seconds. do you know how defenseless you are when youre climaxing?
>>95980313 (OP)>TQ I'm getting into Ynnari but I'm just going to paint it as an Il-Kaithe and Deldar team-up.
Not sure what Kabal I should go with.
>>95981186The original 12 founders of the Grey Knights were from the Knights Errant of Malcador, but they're long dead. The Grey Knights themselves have gene seed that isn't from any of the primarchs, and they're not sourced from existing chapters like the Death Watch are.
>>95980313 (OP)>TQI have thousand sons, Necrons, and Tyranids. I'm pondering, as a final army, dark eldar, custodes, or emperor's children. But, if I'm losing the combat patrols with the boats I'm losing appeal to dark eldar.
>>95980313 (OP)TQ
Guard
Next army is traitor guard
Love the guard.
>>95981233>The Grey Knights themselves have gene seed that isn't from any of the primarchsIt's probably sourced from Thousands Sons given that Janus was the first leader of the Greay Knights
>>95981307His geneseed was removed.
>>95981233Their geneseed is straight up said to be from the Emperor's flesh.
>>95981239It's going to be a sad day. And it might already be starting because it's sold out online in the UK and has been for weeks. It might actually kill the faction for good if they get a worse discount box.
>>95980699Yes. Word Bearers mix the traditional tactics and equipment of Astartes with open utilization of Daemons to their fullest. They can pull tools and blessings from all four Chaos Gods as needed and will do so unrestrained.
>>95981233This doesnt at all address the point I made or the fact that the book I referenced confirmed this, lol
>>95981371Thank god I got the previous Guard combat patrol before they replaced it with the current smegma-tier one.
>>95981239>>95981371I still need one more of the current Combat Patrol before it sells out. Damn. I've been eyeballing the Tau box too.
>>95981453you dont like horses?
>>95981453That guard combat patrol is so fucked man. I have no idea what they were thinking.i don't care if it's technically good value, no one wants to be forced to start out a guard army like that.
>>95981488its like a 19% discount lmao. you might be thinking of agents.
>>95981371I bet the new one will have like 30 wyches and 6 hellions or some shit
>>95981503they're getting squatted
>>95980313 (OP)>TQif i ever get around to it probably gsc
>>95980759What tyranid is that in the bottom right?
>>95981475Honestly they're pretty neat, but it's a fuck load of painting for such a cheap and memey unit. If the box had just one more interesting and useful unit, I'd probably think it's okay.
airbrushes are for cowards
>>95981475FOR THE EMPEROR
>>95981503Nah, they've got a lot of plastic kits to off-load from the old plastic still
any word on pandemonium? id like to read it before WWIII ends the world
AI needs to be explored more in 40K
>>95981502very jealous
was that the nomodels kit sold on ebay recently?
>>95981800No this was a local pickup that I just got lucky on.
>>95981783Not really, it's pretty well established as an extremely dangerous thing that's banned by the AdMech
>>95981475I prefer adult women
>>95981502>betrayal at calth tokensKino, did you get the boards with them as well?
>>95981502Which edition of SH is that, 3rd?
>>95981876Ah those weird hex boards? I was trying to figure out what those were.
>>95981897Yeah
I don't have the minis of my own but I've slowly been painting the Space Hulk minis of another set owned by a friend and he's pretty open to just giving them to me
>>95981909>those weird hex boards?Yeah they're from BAC along with the baggy of tokens, if you've got the cards and dice as well I'd suggest giving the game a spin, it's pretty fun from what I remember
>>95981099This guy looks like he'd tell me to get good then start shadowboxing
>>95981820Yeah, but emergent psychological data gestalts have to form alarmingly often giving how much wetware the imperium uses. They can metastasize into AIโs
>>95980721What are these little fuckers called, ive been trying to find them for ages and I'm tired of using a cat food dish wrapped in foil
>>95980313 (OP)>TQI picked up the LoV combat patrol for cheap recently, just trying to work out a colour scheme for them now.
Was looking at mining and salvage uniforms and ppe for inspiration, but I'm unsure how day-glow yellow or orange would work on a miniature.
>>95981445>This doesnt at all address the point I madeIt absolutely does, because Grey Knights can't fall to the Red Thirst because they aren't Blood Angels.
If you're talking about former Bangels in the Knights Errant during 30k, then sure. But the book factually does not have 40k era Grey Knights falling to the Red Thirst, and you clearly listened to an audiobook without paying attention.
>>95980785I think these guys could be cool but the helmets just being "LOL I PUT DA ROBOCOP EYE SLOT ON DA JUDGE DREDD" is so lame to me. It might be the least interesting helmet in all of 40k
>>95981987>They can metastasize into AIโsThat sounds like you're describing what a Machine Spirit actually is.
>>95980930So buy all the codexes at the end of an edition when they go cheap
>>95980930most codex's are just reused shit from last edition anywas,
>>95982031Just like the 3rd and 4th edition codices
SOVL
>>95981611Washing your clothes with anything but a washboard down by the crick is for pussies with soft hands
>>95982050>replying to your own shitty bait when it gets no (you)s for hourskys
>>95982012>>95982005>>95980721Listen cumgargler, I might have forgotten the image but we both know that's not what I was talking about
>>95982037Those ones were very much not re-used shit at all, though.
>>95982025Machine spirits are usually fundamanetally not self aware though. An AI would be, so an ai is something that could grow out of a machine spirit unless pruned by mechanicus overaight.
Noob Question: If I am using regular glue to attach parts and I paint the space marines backpack separate from the body, the primer that ends up on the attaching point between the back of the body and the backpack won't effect the bond between the glued parts right?
>>95981488I, for one, really do want a horse-guard army. But I don't like the Roughrider minis.
That and there is no generic horse command, nor a way to make them battleline, which means more then half the army can't be horse anyway.
>>95982055Bruh I was just reading through the thread and saw the bad carpenter claiming tools are bad. Why don't you go take a little nap or something you seem cranky for no reason
>>95982057the CSM and tau codices are recycled to all hell

What movies do you associate with space marine chapters? For me itโs the Coppola Dracula movie for blood angels
>>95982156blood angels literally have this armor on astorath, mephiston, and the jump chaplain, so it's not hard to see why
>>95982156Want just you. GW themselves said as much wayback when they made the muscle armour.
>>95982156I associate the Vikings series with Space Wolves
>>95982156I don't think about marines much at all.

where are the hype moments and aura for 40k
>>95982321sorry zoomer, there's no screens with subway surfers and making lead art in sand in tabletop wargames
>>95982321On the tabletop when you smash your opponent with your amazing army and rape them in the hotel room afterwards. Unfortunately, you do have to actually get minis and play the game for that
>>95982321Please repeat yourself in English.
>>95982317You are the problem, secondary
>>95982349>you care about the models?>you must be a secondary!
>>95981314Which is silly; the Emperor wasn't a Primarch (so wasn't a Gene-Seed producer); the Grey Knights were Created by Malcador, not the Emperor; the Emperor was enthroned and immobile by the time the Grey Knights came back from their isolation so they never had any chance to collect flesh from him.
>>95982336>>95982321>"What are the coolest moments in the series and who is the most badass?"There, I translated their demonic black speech into a proper human language
>>95982362a lot of the original grey knights were made up of the black shields who survived the heresy
this is a known lore fact but admitting they are literally made up of traitor geneseed is a big no-no
even some of the chapters who have "questionable" geneseed and seems by all accounts to be traitor successors keep their holy globules away from the inquisition and claim parentage to a loyalist founder
>>95982317>They're the viking faction. Their identity is being Scandinavian.No it isn't retard. They're the barbarian faction, stated by multiple of the developers themselves who said the viking elements were overdone and Wolves were supposed to represent more groups than that, and they are Fenrisian, which is an entire planet.
No Chapter in 40k was ever meant to be a 1:1 substitute to a real-world culture or group, they're supposed to be weird exotic mishmashes of different time periods and places plus new sci-fi elements to create something evocative of certain tropes but also new and fresh. Jes Goodwin has talked about this on Voxcast. You don't get 40k at all.
>>95982395>faction that has had a consistent design vision since 3rd edition is wrongnext you're going to tell me that Ultramarines are not space romans

There's no weird exotic mishmash or different time periods that inspired them.
They're an overt ripoff of dark age Scandinavia in every regard.

>>95982448Yeah I think having s mixed baroque and gothic theme would be really cool for them and add to their angelic flair. Honestly the blood angels are really cool and probably one of the most unique chapters, too bad about their new models
The Executioners are the cooler barbarian chapter than furfags anyway
>>95982495love these little guys

Which founding chapters are canon trying to start legions?
Put aside Black Templars for this one.
Red Templars maybe?
What are the sisters of battles official numbers since we're talking battle armor bolter troops?
>>95982471Nigger there are no real world ethnicities in 40k. I just got done telling you, they draw on tropes from existing cultures fucking obviously, but the actual people that exist in the 41st millennium are not even human beings as we know them. They wouldn't even genetically qualify as homo sapiens - ANY of them. All of Humanity was replaced in the Dark Age of Tech by fucking engineered test tube babies made to be more adaptable to foreign planets at a faster rate.
Then another fucking ~25k years went by on bizarre planets scattered all over the galaxy plus mutations from warp influence and other factors.
There are no Scandinavians in 40k. Or for that matter Africans, or Anglos, or Asians, or Jews, or Arabs, or fucking Aborigines, or anything else. All of them are long dead, gone, extinct, replaced somewhere between year 10k and 20k by an entirely new race of genetically engineered designer colonist babies. Every fucking bloodline that exists today is obliterated. Whatever colonized Fenris could have looked like anything ethnically, and then they rapidly would diverge across the planet and evolve faster generation to generation than normal humans, so that by year 40k a Fenrisian can look like fucking anything depending on what part of the planet they came from, because again, it's an entire fucking planet, so it could have 100 different ethnicities on it just like Earth does today, instead of one brand of snownigger.
>>95982503they didn't shit on them every time there was one engagement where they just slaughtered each other to the last man
>These two Chapters, both famed in their own right as savage and unyielding, had fought each other to mutual annihilation, ripping apart the base around them and trampling its former inhabitants into the dust.>Many of the bodies from both sides showed signs of having fought on despite suffering horrendous wounds, severed limbs and massive trauma that should have felled even a Space Marine, and several were found locked in deathly, gore-splattered embraces, striking at their foes with their last ebbing strength.>Which fighter, Executioner or Carcharodon breathed last to claim a bitter victory shall never be known, as neither side has acknowledged any survivors of the massacre living to tell of the battle.

>>95982624120 spinefist gaunts (making fists ezpz)
120 hormagaunts (scythe hands ezpz) - also bonus, the models are closer to the ground than box hormagaunts
So. I can make screamer killers, trygons and mawlocks out of psychophages and half of the ryans leapers will have talons removed and given snake bodies similar to the above to be raveners.
I'll have barely enough models for a Hyper Adapted Ravener unit.
Among other conversions. Terminators will become deathwatch and given cyclone missile launchers, 10 of the captains given storm shields and thunder hammer conversions.... Etc...
>>95982640I feel like this is a stupid and reckless purchase
do it
>>95982507>What are the sisters of battles official numbers since we're talking battle armor bolter troops?Nobody knows. The big six are 'a few thousand' but can be upwards of ten thousand or more.
Minor orders are founded all the time, battle groups split from a larger Order for various reasons, or newly founded for a specific purpose.
The smallest formal size of an Order is a Preceptory, 1000 sisters and their hardware, but numbers aren't hard-capped.
Sisters will be present at all large ecclesiarch holdings, and they found at most churches, cathedrals, shrines, etc.
There are forgotten shrines to venerate forgotten deeds of forgotten saints that still have a lonely sister assigned to them. It's likely a retirement opportunity more than anything.
And then there was one edition, I think 6th, where GW retconned away half the main 6, and Every Single Minor Order, without any explanation. And just as quietly de-retconned it in the very next edition.
>>95982574The ETB models in the starter set are horrible to convert.

>>95982471>>95982583It is pretty obvious that Chapter/Legion culture is just cargo cult echoes of actual terran cultures or evolved as such convergently. But in reality they also recruit from a fuckton of worlds, meaning that different ethnicities can and would happen from time to time.
We literally have a recent (9th edition i think?) artwork of a caucasian White Scar so you can't pretend like it only goes one way and its some sort of heckin' white erasure. And Suck Can (or w/e his name was) was a pretty asian-looking Salamander.
Yes that also means there is a nordic as fuck Celestial Lion somewhere, big whoopty-fucking-doo.

>>95982846stick them in car
drive car to enemy

>>95982839this is kind of right, kind of wrong
Chapter recruiting practices vary, Space Wolves literally only recruit from Fenris, so the diversity would match what Fenris is, and we know that Fenris has limited and irregular sunlight, so for the millenia humans have lived there the need for excess melanin would have been quite literally left behind even if the planet had been originally populated by individuals with high melanin levels
Ultramarines and Imperial fists, on the other hand, have wildly different recruiting planets and environments, so seeing a lot of marine diversity wouldn't be too odd here
some chapters even have geneseed that while pure changes the basic genetic make up of a neophyte, the Blood Angels geneseed is infamous for being able to take mutated freaks that barely resemble humans and turn them into glorious golden haired gods with perfect physical features
>>95980313 (OP)>What army are you starting next?I might buy a few custodes if their next models are update in scale to not be shorter than primaris
I wish I could afford some Saturnine Terminators. Iโve been living paycheck to paycheck my whole adult life, is spare cash really a thing people have? It seems like a myth at this point.
>>95980487I dunno, try White Scars.
>>95982880>Space Wolves literally only recruit from Fenristhey received primaris reinforcements like everyone else which were not fenris bred, assuming any of the original primaris reinfs are still alive it's plausible that you get melanin enriched vikingz with them
>>95982893I might be remembering it wrong, but all primaris reinforcements are part of the Wolf Spear chapter
which is a pretty cool chapter and their iconography is very clearly PNW native American inspired
>>95982880>>95982893>>95982898Yeah this wolfspear dude looks pretty native american/siberian, but wolfspears are also barely different in colour scheme.
There is also Icefangs and regular Primarisoids that SW took in can probably come from varying stock.
question to try and spice up my TS warband. what would be a reason for marines to almost religiously follow a non-marine to literal hell and damnation? and is it possible for a non-psyker to become a powerful tzeentchian daemon prince?

>>95982921Imperial Fists

>>95982914>what would be a reason for marines to almost religiously follow a non-marine to literal hell and damnation? You would have to make the marines REALLY dependent on them, which is extremely fucking difficult to do. The only example that comes to mind is that one chick in world eaters in 30k, but even then that wasnt loyalty that was just some respect, with the backing of angron. The marines in question would have to be renegades at the very least.

>>95982995>If you paint your space marines the wrong color James Workshop will take your models away
>>95982952Try holding the model upside down, starting at 1. And then pull towards 2. You'll find that the beginning of your brush stroke will tend to be fatter, so it's better to start by the wide point of your triangle
>>95983027there's a cheat
you cut tirangles in tin foil thats the thick kind and bend over and slightly drybrush the dimensions on there
the thick kind I speak of is meant for covering roasts at the industry level and can be found at some stores
>heavy duty aluminum foil is what my country calls it
>>95982574get a spyral hack cutter, youre gonna need it
>>95983002NTA but here's the rule. All the nounguard veteran units get the deathwing keyword. The fluff still says the deathwing is an all-terminator company, though. I suppose it's the result of the inner circle keyword being scrapped this edition.
>>95982998>deathwing isnt a paint scheme, the tactical dreadnought suits are bone armor.It is though. Bladeguard Vets are officially part of the Deathwing.
>>95983002See
>>95983051>>95983011I know it's a wild idea but someone people want to paint their toy soldiers lore-accurate.
>>95983034I fucking hate working with masks and stencils of any kind but if it works for you that's pretty cool. I usually just draw my freehand patterns on lightly in pencil so I've got some lines to follow and then paint over top, and hit it with an eraser to get rid of any pencil marks
>>95983035I plan on using wire snips before assembling the model. I just need to angle the model as I please.
Simple image to show what I plan for a mawloc/trygon. I looked over the model sprue plenty to see its very possible, I'll be removing the smoke stacks and using them somewhere else.
The wail will be wires and PVC pipe, with filler.. I also love snakes, and I WILL be making the model look like a coiled up snake in defense mode.
>>95983027Good advice, thanks anon
>>95983058its a gentle drybrush to get the lines down
its as simple as cutting too much and laying it on the model, and then pull it off to cut some more off and trying again and when its just right you hold it there and gently dust some paint on the spot and there's your line to "draw in the lines"
>>95983051>>95983057>Deathwing's tactical MO since 2e has been to deep strike a bunch of heavy dudes in and bust things up>they've been more consistent on this than Raven Guards being played sneaky or White Scars being played as bikers>but for reasons of shrimplification GW decides to broaden the Deathwing to include a bunch of units that can't do this one specific thing that the Deathwing's whole ruleset was originally designed to doI can't believe I'm saying this but even Inceptors would have been more on brand
>>95982952The doggos look nice!
>>95983091deathwing drop pods with vets inside...
>>95980378None of that is new lore.
>>95982670What are you gonna pack in land raider? Only flamer rubrics make sense but not that much because then they can't cast spells and are cheaper than the transport
>Decoy Targets: Twice per battle, in your Movement phase, you can select one other friendly INFANTRY model that is on the battlefield and not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units. The selected model is destroyed (ignoring any rules that are triggered when a model is destroyed) and this model is removed from the battlefield and set up again as close as possible to where that destroyed model was and not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units. This ability cannot be used more than once in the same battle round.
How does this work exactly, and what is the purpose of this?
Do I just take a single miniature in the squad out and move it? A whole squad?
How close is close? What purpose does this serve?

all that's missing is to make the Traitor Sergeant a woman who puts up the strongest fight against the Primaris Reiver squad and you'd have a Black Library novel in the making.
Do loyalists have the ability to make a half human/half space marine army the way that CSM does? Custodes doesn't count.
>>95983534>fatmore like absolute UNIT
>>95983579you can use imperial agents allies but you'll never be able to run 200+ human models like CSM can
>>95981024You're a stereotypical World Eaters collector. Of course you have something to punch on the go.
>>95983579probably, but they probably just don't, the making of marines is highly regulated and ritualised, as is their concurrent number or any sudden growth.
Does bringing a Magus would make sense against a Rogal Dorn Commander? The possibility of reducing its WS by 1 to negate its order sounds good but it's just too swingy as usual.
>>95983608how does reducing a rogal dorn's WS to 1 negate its order (which order)?
>>95983608Well what would be the alternative?
which black library books should i read next? so far I have read the angron book and am currently reading the night lords trilogy. Also on my list is infinite and the divine, and prophet of the waaagh (although i am curious as to how well orks will work in novel form given they aren't known for their eloquence). what should i read next? im willing to try any faction's books
>>95983631The order improves the WS by 1, Magus reduces hit roll by one so it hits on 4+ again.
>>95983636We're playing Crusade so I have a Magus in my list so it should be good vs it.
>>95983673Cadia Falls and Deathworlder are often recommended.
Fire Caste and Day of Ascension are both surprisingly good for Black Library
Valedor and Path of the Dark Eldar are also pretty decent.
>>95983673Day of Ascension is pretty good for showing how a Genestealer Cults work as well as the internal conflict within an Admech Forgeworld.
anyone got the new space wolves codex?
>>95981314>Their geneseed is straight up said to be from the Emperor's flesh.Can't you discern propaganda?
>>95983608Just kill it. With the big brain and mining laser guys
>>95983690>>95983673I second Fire Caste and Day of Ascension. Both are worth reading.
I have read Deathworlder, and while its not terrible, i think you really have to love Catachans to make this book work. I dont mind them, but after a while the constant "catachans are the best at xy" "we are no dumb brutes" "catachans are really good at xy, you know?" becomes tiresome. Most of them are female too, so if that is something that bothers you, this will be a red flag, as big as the biceps of the catachan muscle mommies in that book.
The story itself is not bad, a team of catachans (+ some addon characters) have to reach a research facility on a tyranid infested planet, before the planet is gone.
I would recommend the Bastion Wars Omnibus. All 3 books are quite good, and they read like a military story rather than a 40k story. reason for this is not only that the writer was enlisted in the Australian Forces, but also he got a bit too much "inspiration" from some memoires of some Irak/Afghanistan veterans. Black Library removed him when this was made public. But since he copied from good books, this means his books as a result were also quite good
>>95983673Valedor is one of the best 40k books ever released.
>>95983771it's not a 40k book
>>95983771Look, I love that book too but let's not glaze it that much. It is admittedly cool to have a Xenos v Xenos conflict with such care and detail put into it,b ut it is still a Guy Haley novel and all that that implies.
>>95983673The OG Night Lord novel "Lord of the Night" is very good.
>>95983780>Tyranids v Eldar is not 40kWhat the hell are you smoking? Are you actually going to argue it's an apocalypse book and that makes it different from 40K?
>>95983789if it's not marines it's not 40k, simple as
>>95983332da one with most dakka
>>95983792The best 40k (and 30k) books do not involve marines for more as side characters.
>>95983780>>95983792>The book that got a Warhammer World diorama isn't a 40k bookLol
Lmao even
what happened to forgeworld? their used to be this cool airborne shit. did they get rolled into the tempestus scions or something?
>>95983708I tried killing it with the big blob of 20 neophytes + primus and all that other stuff the other day but the damage is too swingy with both mining lasers whiffing at the time. I got a Rockgrinder but hitting on 4+ means it often doesn't hit a thing. I don't recall when was the last time it killed anything with its laser honestly. It's a rough list that I'm facing at 1000pts with Rogal Dorn, Leman Russ Demolisher and a Hellhound but it is what it is.

>>95983982If the character from another faction wins there's not going to be a lot of submissions desu
>>95983973The whole Eldar trope is "former empire, is slowly dying without any hope".
So yes, it has to stay that way, because thats their entire thing.
>>95984003And 40K was a dark future with no hope, only war. Now Space Marines are fucking superheros.
Everything can change as long as there money to be made
>>95984012The difference is that Space Marines are a faction that matters, anon. Eldar aren't.

>>95984192If they made them in China there wouldnโt be a stock issue like this
>>95984196>believing the propagandaConsidering recasters are selling models in plastics.

>>95984201You have never worked with the chang with productions numbers this small have you?
>>95984211>propagandaAnon you have to declare where your products come from before they enter the market. Kits and paints are listed as made in UK. GW would be in deep, and I mean DEEP shit if they lied about it.
I had forgotten how fun it was to make an Inquisitor during 4th edition with Witch Hunters
Outside of the regular gear, you get to buy random dudes that give stat buff and abilities to the unit and inquisitor permanently regardless if they die. While also giving each of those model their own unique gear.
All those random models I've collected over the year finally have a use!
>>95984237You do know that you can finish assembling the product in the uk and claim "made in the uk"
>>95984255>terrain GW has the chinks make terrain because quality doesn't matter as much, they've been doing it for years

>>95984283Was about to post this.
>>95984283>There is no war in Ba Sing Se
>>95984261Yes, molds are definitely made in China, no arguing that. How do you propose they only "finish assembling" in UK in this case though?
>>95984255>terrain>>95984273Oh yeah I forgot they have factories in US, my bad
>>95980442is there a collage of most of the models posted yet?

>>95984155I don't have a ridgerunner yet but I really need to add one. So far I got two of the old combat patrols, a broodcoven and 10 Genestealers. Someone in my playgroup may have a Ridgerunner they may want to get rid of.

>>95984743Not that anon, but that still makes it an appropriate place for DE reveals even if thatโs the case.
>>95984806But the temples tend to use existing weapons. Shuriken catapults, fusion guns, chainswords, power swords, missile launchers, etc. are found in one form or another elsewhere in the Eldar arsenal.
>>95984772Blood Angels are Berzerkers with a thin veneer of civility.

They represent the aspect of Khaine being Asurmen's 'radiant' defender, and his often overlooked dedication to upholding Asurmen's laws. As such also touches on Khaine's punishment of Kurnous and Isha after they broke Asurmen's law, and how he placed them chained together in a 'burning pit'.
>Exarch optionsPlasma Pistol w/ Power Spear

>>95984750I can handle a bit of OC donut steel but the killing anyone that sees them is really fucking silly and lame. A lot of their lore seems to be in that silly and gay vein, especially the sisters incident
>>95984825I never understood them. Why do we have a chapter that bullies other loyal chapters of their technology and toys? They're literally nepo babies due to their connection with the high lords
>>95984772Charcarodons/Space Sharks are definitely up there. They're essentially loyalist Night Lords.
>>95984869"Tend to". FW creations are one thing. Shining Spears would be another thing, since there's no laser lances anywhere else, really. Think there is or was one for knights or titans.
>>95984876> but the killing anyone that sees them is really fucking silly and lame.It's a very retarded rule when you consider the scope of the galaxy, the many regiments and chapters who know without being BLAMd, and the fact that their first idea is to kill all witnesses rather than simply going "Wikkity Likkity Pee, You Forgot What You See."
>>95984892isn't that just Iron Hands
>>95984892They work directly for the high lords and are iron warriors successor, it's not too surprising
>>95984874I like a lot of that, Radiant Sperm Whales
What's the flarecannon?
Swooping hawk exarch have the "sun pistol" which is pretty much a hellpistol (las), so "sun" didn't feel right for plasma weapons, but "flare" sounds interesting
Maybe "Star" for basic plasma and "flare" for something else, like flame-template plasma, akin to the Dark Angel plasma burners?
>>95984931The difference is the Minotaurs actively do it and they take enjoyment out of it. At least the Iron Hands have a philosophy about the weakness of flesh before they turn their serfs into serfitors
>>95984931Iron Hands are a desperate and down on their luck legions that was groomed by the AdMech into taking an offer they couldn't refuse because daddy was dead and they offered to be their new daddy.
Which loyalist chapter is the LEAST loyal?
>>95984570Inspired by the image, what if instead of all the heavy starcannons, they were a Destroyer/Seraphim style aspect armed with a pair of plasma pistols (star pistols?) Exarch could have an option for DA Interemptor style plasma flamer.
>>95984953Ashen Claws? But they're basically non-chaos renegades with their own hobo separatist mini-empire in Ghoul Stars.

Does it have to be plasma pistols?
>>95984829Will their culture, taste, and beauty outdo their thirst for blood and rage?
>>95984927Yeah itโs just so silly, like their role as specialists who are low in number and show up to fight demons or when most needed by the inquisition itself is already a cool bordering on Mary sue gimmick, idk why they felt the need to add that considering that working for the inquisition lets you team kill as is

>>95985066The only thing marines have to do is follow orders. There are larger, more knowledgeable and better suited organisations to determine the ideal application of power of marines on the war fronts.

>>95985111I love the old stories about marines talking the initiative and turbo fucking a planet for generations because of their stupidity.

Of course, with the new Lion lore this was completely thrown out so it's just stupid again

>>95985252>What the fuck is your deal?He's the resident slaaneshi retard with a eldar hateboner.
Part of the issue is that he unironically integrated 'his' fictional faction's enmity towards them as part of his real personality, misunderstanding how the banter of others is built on roleplaying.
A second but not less worrying reason is a pathological need to get back at someone in life, so he does it in his autistic interest by desperately trying to play the part of the bully towards eldar, flip flopping between exaggerated issues in fluff, releases, rules, fanbase or whatever else.
>inb4 you're a s-schizo and p-projecting I'm only here forever, unfortunately, there's a difference.
>>95985211I'm not even an eldarfag but
>poorly doneThey have and always had fantastic minis.
>designated to lose harder than anybody else in the settingIf you're braindead enough to not pick a faction with cool models because of worthless lore then worrying about eldarfags here should be the least of your concerns
>>95985286>Difference being they are content, muhreen players don't beg anywhere near as muchเฒ _เฒ
>>95985250Your entire argument is based on my false flag post trying to pretend I was an entitled Eldar brat, btw
>>95985217Aw damn see that couldโve been really compelling had they stuck with it, traitors desperately trying to cleanse their name and hide evidence while being edgy loners
>>95985340So point me to the last post that does, should be easy.
>>95985351And it was like that for 20+ years
>>95985363Iโm new and retarded but I could definitely get behind that, a chapter desperate in the midst of their redemption arc lmao while having a cool Arthurian knight theme. Now they just seem stupid unless they do something cool with the lion to make up for it. Theyโre getting a codex/supplement soon right? Maybe thatโll clear some things up
>>95985358every post made by a marine player is. because every one plays marines and marines are the main character in wh40k.
>>95985391And letโs not forget about their truest enemies, what could be called the true antagonist of 40k: the orks
why the fuck does retarded shitposting always increase towards the end of the thread
>>95985334>He's the resident slaaneshi retard with a eldar hateboner.delusional, edgecoc is dead and gone
>>95985339>worthless loreIf you pick yourbarmy solely for their appearance and no other reason, you are liable to become very lonely as you hobby.
If you bring Marines to your store, people will look at them and compliment not only how they look, but also (You) have made them. They will recognize your units and in doing so see your playstyle, your preference, and they will appreciate you for it. They will talk with you over lore and stories and characters, and appreciate when you make a Chapter of your own. There will be bonding.
But if you bring Eldar, nobody will care beyond your paint jobs. They will not recognize your units and thus will simply ignore and forget them. They will not know Eldar lore because why should they delve into something that's bad, so they will not respect your army and thus not respect you. You will not bond over your stories and characters because Eldar don't even HAVE worthwhile stories or characters. You'll be left with no one to appreciate your work except yourself, and in solitude you will rot.
>>95985402orks are the only faction I can think of where people don't take issue with them being discussed
>>95985420My guess would be that as the thread stops getting bumped the only people left are those looking for the thread and the people who keep the thread open at all times, this includes the trolls
>>95985427>all this copelmao stopped reading halfway through, you should seriously spend less time here
>>95985334I know making scapegoats out of every post you don't like makes things easier for you to cope with being disagreed with but they really make you look deranged when you try to craft a narrative to support it.
>>95985432Its because theyโre cool and funny, and anyone that hates them is a megafaggot anyway
>>95985286>muhreen players don't beg anywhere near as muchlol
lmao
Remind me again how many kits you want to be made 1mm taller?
>>95985462I love watching you rabidly seethe yet refuse to point to a single post actually asking for what you're saying
>>95985427The last people you want to socialize are the LOOOOOORE evangelists
Fuck the canon, fuck the gospel, I make my own shit and only keep what fucks.
I wouldn't even wipe my ass with a 40k novel
Eldar are definitely the coolest looking Army that I will never, ever collect.
>>95985476Solitude is but despair in disguise.
>>95985476I think the lore is cool and really makes the setting fun to interact with, but youโre right. I feel like the thing that really makes 40k stand out is that itโs an active setting, where your little tabletop battles are happening in โrealโ time and are basically canon events. It really makes the setting feel interactive and makes home brewing so rewarding. Really makes the setting unique in a way that no others are
Anybody know who sculpted old Lemartes?
>>95985476>I wouldn't even wipe my ass with a 40k novelImagine holding ADB in such high regard you'd rather defecate in your own pants than befoul his written word.
>>95985472I was the guy you were replying to, I just decided to ignore your bullshit.
You can't even point to people "pleading"/"beggin"/etc. for more eldar
You said yourself: "they plead not as much", which would mean they do plead, so it's rather strange that you pretend there is no post to point at, when you yourself claimed there is, just less. And that's grossly glossing over the fact that this thread isn't a representation of every other thread we had where people have clearly stated they wanted more marine stuff.
TL;DR: you're a faggot and you're not worth a reply, this is indirectly for anyone who's also tired of your retardation to know they are right to feel you're a fucking spastic.
>>95985503>sit on toilet>no more paper>put pants back on>shitExcuse me, what the fuck?
>>95984012>Now Space Marines are fucking superheros.They were always super heroes and heroic.
>>95985509>You can't even point to people "pleading"/"beggin"/etc. for more eldar>>95984570>>95985025
>>95985472There's a guy in this thread asking for more blood angels with decorations on their armors, but it got ignored specifically because marines ask for new stuff all the time despite getting new stuff all the time.
By the way, you haven't told me how many marine kits you think need to be made slightly taller.
>>95984876IIRC Guilliman stopped the whole "killing anyone that sees them" thing when he woke up but I need to brush up on that
>>95985509>not worth a reply>let me type this essayI said the post should be easy to find, it is for eldar begging, its right here
>>95985025
>>95985509>>95985526>Everybody replying to me is the same personkeep seething nomodels
>>95985523>asking for ideas is asking for more modelsYou should tell your handler to get you off the internet.
>>95985531Guiltyman once again being the single brain cell of the imperium. Idk I wanna like grey knights and I think their models look cool (even if theyโre short) and the shiny armor is an excellent look, theyโre just so fucking lame being Mary sues
>>95985535>how could anon think I was anon? I just replied as anon instead of anon!
>>95985523The first one is MY own post where I ask people for ideas for me to convert and make new rules.
At no point am I pleading for GW to give me more Eldar
The other post is an anon asking when they got anything new, which somehow you (and maybe others) decided to throw a shit fit over because "omg eldar fags are CRYING FOR MORE STUFF I HATE ELDARS I HATE ELDARS"
Stop wasting people's time, no more (you)s
>>95985564Mary sue may be the wrong term, more so special snowflakes
>>95985567>get the second-biggest refresh of the entire edition including everything you've been asking for for decades>but we need MORE>wtf why are people calling us ingrates this is just schizoshit!!!
Why can't we all just get along
>>95980442Fuck you, naysayer anon from 5 threads ago! I did it!
Did I attempt several painting techniques that were beyond my competence? Yes.
Did they work out?
Not really!
Was the deadline met?
Yes it was.
>>95985596Because then it wouldn't be Warhammer 40k
>>95985605New unit spotted, what name have you picked?
>>95985596Anger breeds engagement. Just the way it is hombre.
>>95985622>shitposting in thread>sally anon is hereWell, well, well
>>95985286>Direct me to the last post here pleading for more marine shit>>95982448
>>95985646nice try decalmutant
>>95985656Said should have had, IE could've but didn't, not asking for it, but nice try eldartroon
>>95985656this is obviously a joke about the paintjob are you very autistic
>>95985665>Said should have hadYeah, that's asking for more than what they got, retard.
>>95985673>40kg>eldarfagtake a guess
>>95985673No it isn't, but keep trying, maybe you'll figure a way to spin it so one of the least played xenos factions doesn't seem like a bunch of whiny ingrates and the most played faction in the game does instead!
>>95985670>this is obviously a joke about the paintjobNo, anon is asking for more marines of a hyper specific kind, there's no joke, if you need a reminder of what jokes look like you should take a look into the closest mirror.
Reminder that Eldar fans are the least respected group in 40k and the disdain they're viewed with is entirely justified.
>>95985694You think he was acrually asking for renaisance paintings worked into every model? That doesn't even make sense anon.
>>95985682>>95985689>anon asking for fan ideas for an eldar aspect is begging for more releases>anon saying marines should have gotten more of something isn't asking for more>unsolicited sperging about perceived/desired faction popularity
>>95985719Nice try disingenuous subhuman but the eldartranny screeching that a huge refresh doesn't count because they're not new concepts is infinitely more egregious than a blood angelfag saying their shitty refresh should've been well done instead
>>95985719>joking around is joking around>begging is beggingbut i will continue to watch your gymnastics until the new thread ig
>>95985706>You think he was acrually asking for renaisance paintings worked into every model?No, but for more blood angels with decorated armors.
>>95985730If using your braincells to state the obvious is mental gymnastics you need to stop using chatGPT in your day to day life.
>>95985740What does this even mean?
So which primarch SHOULDN'T come back?
>>95985752Sanguinius, Ferrus, Kurze and Horus
Everyone else, sure yeah fine whatever
>>95985752Sanguinus, Horus, Ferrus 100%
>>95985752none of them should come back, let alone the irrelevants of the chapters that don't even have an independent codex of their own
>>95985768Every loyalist chapter has had a codex supplement at one point or another now
>>95985752I really really want to see jagathai khan and vulkan to dab on eldarfags.
>>95985618I call it "The Hedgehog," it's primary function is blasting the Sonic Adventure 2 soundtrack for the boys.
>>95985752They should ALL come back
>>95985779>at one point or anotherguess at what point we are now, bitch
>>95985752Dorn or russ.
Both are good for some comedy.
>>95985605>>95985788You're a madman for rushing through and I respect that.
>>95985752The only one that shouldn't come back is ferrus, because they should make his hands pilot a dreadnought.
>>95985780There will be a Khan model before there is ever another Vect model. Mark my words.
>>95985788not mega man 2 willys castle theme?
>>95985793One where only the two worst marine chapters have supplements and one of the primarchs doesn't have one at all
>>95985810I think he is being self aware.
Or he is starting rumors in hopes that GW notices and makes them become true.
>>95985646Believe what you need to fren.
>>95985657Not helpful.
>>95985752Sanguinius, Ferrus Manus, Horus, Kurze. Any of the others are fine. Sanguinius and Horus in particular would be such a jump the shark lore-raping moment it would utterly destroy any integrity left in the setting, which is already suffering quite badly. The other two would also be obnoxious and unnecessary asspulls but they wouldn't unravel the entire mythos.
If GW does start bringing more back, I think they should also kill off at least one that's currently alive. Guilliman would be a good choice since he's pretty much already fulfilled his narrative function once other Primarchs exist to step in.
>>95985810Dorn coming back isn't the worst option, but he doesn't really do a lot different than Guilliman in terms of being a grizzled, jaded commander set on ruling the Imperium
There was room for the Lion to be more interesting and have some tension with Guilliman but that immediately got swept under the rug
Khan coming back could actually be kino because he barely agreed with the Imperium in 30k, so the culture shock of M42 would probably see him be a near renegade but still ultimately in the service of the Emperor
>>95985865blood angels, dark angels, black templars, space wolves all have a codex, and have had codexes for the longest time, and the basic marine codex is the ultramarines codex.
iron hands don't matter, white scars don't matter, raven guard don't matter, salamanders don't matter, and the one and only reason why imperial fists could possibly maybe one day matter has to do with black templars and crimson fists being way too iconic, and because chaos might be getting a 5th (aspiring)god-legion, requiring a foil, which dorn would cover well, for the better or worse.
>>95985788>Oh dark the darkness that dozes in the dusk>Throw it all away!Incredibly based
>>95985915It also helps that Khan is the embodiment of the "Fucks off and does his own thing" character type, so you wouldn't have to explain why he isn't marching on Terra to set everything right again
>>95985605Well done. I knew you could do it.
>>95985915>Dorn coming back isn't the worst option, but he doesn't really do a lot different than Guilliman in terms of being a grizzled, jaded commander set on ruling the ImperiumWhich would be a good reason to kill Guilliman as I mentioned above. If GW insists on moving the plot forward then they need to ACTUALLY give us some fucking character deaths because as is this war setting where no one important ever dies is completely losing its edge. In the old lore they killed people all the time, like Captain Tycho and Captain Invictus.
>>95985923>blood angels, dark angels, black templars, space wolves all have a codexSpace wolves codex isn't out and Black Templars aren't even up for pre-order yet, and it's been nearly TWO years since 10th launched
>iron hands don't matter, white scars don't matter, raven guard don't matter, salamanders don't matter, and the one and only reason why imperial fists could possibly maybe one day matter has to do with black templars and crimson fists being way too iconicI'd argue that Blood Angels, Imperial Fists and White Scars are the most important legions in the history of the Imperium because they were the ones who won the Siege of Terra and ultimately the Heresy itself.
Space Wolves accomplish next to nothing in their entire lore, including Armageddon and other 40k era events.
If every major faction had to have a named character killed off, who would be missed the least from each?
>>95985923BTs only got a codex supplement again when they had their primaris refresh
>>95985954>I'd argue that Blood Angels, Imperial Fists and White Scars are the most important legions in the history of the Imperium because they were the ones who won the Siege of Terra and ultimately the Heresy itself.Ultramarines also won the First Tyrannic War which Word of God says would have ended the Imperium if they didn't stop Hive Fleet Behemoth when and where they did.
>>95985941They could bring back a model-less primarch during a narrative to kill him onscreen, they've got a few that people really don't care about, the khan for example, the only times people cared about white scars was when they could make overpowered lists of bike, and even that barely counts because tourneyfags aren't people.
>>95985963Abaddon, Calgar, Eldrad.
>>95985976Coming back just to die immediately is a cop out. Coming back to replace someone like Guilliman as he gets killed is better.
>>95985963marines it is 100% Cato Sicarius
I think most chaos players would be glad to be rid of Abbadon
>>95985967Duh, that's why they're on the cover
I'm pushing back more on the notion that Dark Angels and Space Wolves are somehow the protagonist chapters of the setting when they generally did a lot less and are featured way less
>>95982471If you go to Sweden nowadays you see a lot of black guys named Bjorn and Hvarl so it checks out
>>95985954>the codexes aren't out, so they don't exist, even though we've seen them
>>95985963Ursulla creed, but GW seemed to want to kill off Yarrick and guard players collectively reee'd very hard.
What makes Commissar Yarrick a beloved character and not Ursula Creed?
>>95985976>the only times people cared about white scars was when they could make overpowered lists of bike, and even that barely counts because tourneyfags aren't people.Is your only interaction with this hobby reading /tg/ for the past 15 years
Your post is like an AI scraped old 1d4chan and answered a prompt
>>95985963for tyranids? I wouldn't mourn the swarmlord, definitely.
just put that thing out of its misery and make the bonesabres a generic equipment for generic tyrants.
>>95985998I'm saying if those chapters mattered, why is it going to take >24 months for those supplements to actually come out when all the other chapters are at full speed thanks to being in the main codex?
>>95985983>cop outit's also the most logical thing for GW, as model makers first and story writers second.
>>95986011Because the importance of a codex has never been a factor that dictated the order of release?
Or do you want to start arguing that tyranids are more important than marines because they got released first this edition?
>>95985025>eldar players receive perfect, inoffensive refreshes for all their aspect warriors and units>eldar players still fucking whiningfaggot elf players never happy as per usual
>>95985963Abaddon dying would only be good for Chaos at this point, let them fracture without a unifying leader, or have Lorgar get off his panzy ass and step up.
Eldrad is old as fuck anyways, his bones are already crystal, let him die.
I'd say Chaplain Cassius for the Ultramarines had a good run, he could die and be replaced by a younger fiery Reclusiarch.
LET DANTE FUCKING DIE ALREADY THE MAN IS BEGGING FOR IT.
The head of the Deathwing or Ravenwing for Dark Angels.
Almost any named Wolf Lord would be fine in the Space Wolves, probably not Ragnar though he's too iconic.
Guard already lost Yarrick and Creed, let them be unless they kill off Creed's daughter too because everyone hates that ugly bulldyke.
Tau already lost a number of characters I believe.
Tyranids and GSC have none to speak of really, Tyranid characters aren't even really characters.
Necrons you could probably kill Imhotek or something. Leave Szeras and the Silent King they're cooking stuff up.
Dark Eldar has had so little development for Vect lately I don't want to see him die, he deserves more limelight first. Maybe kill Lelith already since she joined the Ynnari, traitor bitch.
Orks uhhhh ermmm I can't think of any characters whose deaths would necessarily feel narratively interesting, Ghaz is still driving plots and is fun, did they kill Nazdreg? I think they need to give Orks more. They killed the
Overfiend of Octarius offscreen recently.
>>95986003>What makes Commissar Yarrick a beloved character and not Ursula Creed?Are you seriously asking this question?
>>95985427Dios mio, mucho larper texto
>>95986042Did you not read the thread? That was a troll post by a marine player.
>>95986054>They killed the Overfiend of Octarius offscreen recently.There was a campaign book about that, how was it offscreen?
>>95986071>Are you seriously asking this question?Yes I am. Granted his model design is much better than Ursula Creed but there has to be more, right?
>>95986054>LET DANTE FUCKING DIE ALREADY THE MAN IS BEGGING FOR IT.I can never tell if people just post this as a meme or if they sincerely are emotionally invested in whether he lives or dies.
>>95985938You son of a bitch!

>>95985990they just have unique, popular aesthetics
Accept that Sanguinius is space marine jesus and that he's coming back at some point
>>95984750Grey Knights killing people who saw them is a weird reddit/1d6 thing few pieces of Matt Ward fluff way. In most books grey knights mind wipe and have a problem with it as taking away memories removes part of the person. A lot of the edgy shit wasn't really reflected in their stories. They would even hold on to soul stones when fighting daemonic incursions on craft worlds until the Eldar arrived to take them back. Realistically, after the great rift opened grey knights should be more present and much less likely to even mind wipe after an incursion.
>>95985991like hell you do
