I'm replacing lord solar leontus with a kasrkin "unbroken" model kitbashed with a genestealer alphus bike. I have a whole squad of death riders on dirt bikes to go with him.

>>96004815 (OP)

Do you feel it yet, mr. anon?

Grim

>>96004855
Still some time to go then. Sounds like next starterset is Deldar vs marines "again". Like way back.

>>96004868
No, the next starter is with orks
dark eldar are getting updated as a normal wave

What do we consider 'Elite' for this month challenge? Small units, battlefield designation? 10e codices are definitely not the best source for this kind of information.

>>96004863
My plan is to have atleast one full unit of everything. I hate the way the horses look so i did bikes. I have 2 baneblades, 2 dorns, 5 lemans, 19 chimeras, 2 hydras, 2 field guns, 70 kasrkin, 300 shock troopers, 5 cadian snipers, 2 valkyries, 1 manticore, 1 hellhound, and a bunch of single guys like the master of ordnance. I ordered a bunch of metal storm troopers and oldhammer infantry dudes. I own all the codices for imperial guard but i've never played warhammer as IG. I haven't played since 2008 when i had ultramarines.

>>96004868
Nah, Starter is Orks v Humans which is also traditional. The DE are just going to be a massive refresh wave the same way Eldar have been for the last two editions. DE have a history of getting their entire range redone all at once.

>>96004882
How did you do the bikes? Got any pictures? Really don't want ponies in my army

>>96004880
I think you have a lot of leeway, you can probably pick almost anything other than chaff infantry like guardsmen.

>>96004880
Anything that has ever been in the elite slot.

>>96004897
>DE have a history of getting their entire range redone all at once.
DE got their range redone once
plenty of other factions also did get a redo, as well as other releases, what DE got wasn't really special

>>96004910
Well, I have some Scouts to be done I guess...

>>96004910
Why did we get rid of this again?

>>96004915
fighting 400 vehicle skews lists makes the game more fun supposedly

>>96004910
Which custodes have been in the elite slot?

>>96004900
I used the bikes, arms and legs from the atalan jackals kit. I put greenstuff on the shin guards and armpits to make them match cadian torsos better. I put the helmets from the kasrkin kit on them. I have 4 more to build before i start painting them. It's a pretty common kitbash if you start looking it up on google you will find some good inspo.

Has anyone used that rock salt method for chipping? Did it work? Did you like it?

>>96004915
so that less newcomers would be turned off by the idea of having to buy units they don't like in order to field the stuff they want, increasing overall sales and new blood, while (theoretically) increasing the variety of armies

>>96004927
Thats fking awesome. Not modeled with lances?

>>96004910
what edition was that?

>>96004949
All of those reasons were wrong so it keeps in line with everything in 10th I guess.

>>96004965
All of them from 3rd to 7th.

>>96004950
I don't really like the way they look. i'm gonna do a guy with a flamer and another chainsword guy in the next 4 i think. Also this image is similar to what im gonna do for lord solar. Im just gonna have it be a kasrkin dude standing next to his bike talking on the radio with binos or something.

Still working on my singleton Dark Angels army but I have hard time to find a reason to field a Land Raider. I want every unit on my list to have a Transport unless they have some fancy deployment rules.
>Tacs arrive in a Rhino
>Sternguard arrive in a Razorback

Where does the Land Raider fit here? What Firstborn unit benefits from being stuffed into that brick?

>>96004815 (OP)
>What proxies do you use?
I use random looted vehicles as Ork buggies
Considering using genestealer hybrid kabalites as Incubi too

>>96004973
>tummy

>>96004973
I wonder if people who post REPENT memes know about Asmodai beyond what TTS told them.

Why wouldn't CSM use drop pods?

>>96004992
>i wonder if [secondaries] know more about [thing] than [whatever sloptuber] told them
truly a question for the ages

>>96004995
because they are an opponent faction and opponent factions don't get utilities to act with, only targets to field.

>>96004880
lookup your army in wahapedia 9th and check what was in the Elite slot
if it's a new unit you can probably infer it, if it's OC1, not fast and doesn't have big ass guns it's most likely Elite

Shibon cried. Actually brought a tear to my eye. Much of the rest of Era of Ruin was meh.

>>96005011
dunno, ask /hhg/

>>96004922
Quite a few options actually

>>96004995
They do. They always have. Even in the recent lore of the World Eater's codex talks about warbands launching attacks via drop pods. I know we had that FW dreadclaw but it was pricey and a fucking stupid flyer hybrid.
I feel like GW thinks drop pods are an iconic SM thing and for that reason don't want to give it to CSM, even though they already share things like preds, landraiders, rhinos etc.

>>96005031
>they already share things like preds, landraiders, rhinos etc.
they shouldn't
they should have steeds instead of bikes, chariots instead of rhinos, demon engines instead of tanks, and at best I can allow the land raider but only if it's heavily mutated and carrying an altar to the gods.

>>96005018
Space Marines can cry.

>>96005045
who said they couldn't, they cry all the time, that's not new

>>96004922

>>96004970
Nice. I don't like the lances either. My thought was model them with frag/Grenade throwing arms or even bandoliers of grenades

>10 IQ and 10/10 style edition

>>96005078
None its all faggotry with loud heavy metal music and high pitched screeching. I didn't realize how much I hated this until I saw Beard from Tapletop Tactics. It seems completely illogical but I want to hurt that little faggot. Even the fucking painting videos are drowned out in royalty free dubstep and shit. Then you have cash cows like Mordian Glory literally pulling in $1000+ a stream in donations and then turning around and telling his fans he needs to eat beans and toast cus money is tight. The list goes on.

They're just a bit too animated with very high register voices. it's Play on Tabletop for me

>>96004992
It's a troongooner posting tranny 40K art, you think he's even touched someone else's model, much less got any of his own?

>>96005109
ai getting pretty good, but the tips of the chainswords not matching and tufts of fur at mid-calf and around the front of the collar make no sense

>>96005111
I like how Play on Tabletop structures their battle reports and the production value they put into them, but I can't stand the actual people they have playing the game. Especially the main guy they have that usually plays Guard. I'm a Guard player and just the fact that someone as obnoxious as him also plays Guard makes me want to throw my minis in the trash.

>>96005111
PlayOn's models look like shit, Fletcher's model on the other hand are the shit.

This guy is the best eldar fan artist hands down, I wanted to comission him to draw Vect since we have no art of him. He charges 650USD so fuck that. Real shame

Legitimately good art costs money. AI art has devalued all the hack job entry-level artworks which means that real art is at even more of a premium now. I'm sure you can find someone to paint over some slop for you for cheap though if you aren't interested in developing some skills yourself.

>>96005139
>Snipe and Wib

Yeah they are annoying and extremely gay (plus you just know Snipe pegs Wib every night), but if you can get past that, they do cover some pretty interesting topics. Especially when it comes to informing newer players about what old 40k was like.

>>96005139

>>96005225
It's probably the worst hullspam meta since the start of 10th before they changed the titanic rules and nerfed Eldar
If you bring lots of stuff that can eat knights and terminators though you will be fine.

>>96005225
>wow that's grim
Dark, even

>>96005225
even casual games are full of meta bullshit, its rare to see anyone playing a game that just consists of whatever the player has access to or fun related units. its all sweaty shit

>>96005232
post your list that consists of what you have access to or fun related units

>>96005232
That's what happens when the player base becomes dominated by kids who grew up on nothing but video games. All they know how to do is min/max and play the meta. Video games have truly ruined gaming as a whole.

>>96005241
its really sad to see desu, its not about fun anymore for these people, its just about winning

>>96004815 (OP)
I've been listening to some 40k vidya music and I'm starting to think that there's a negative correlation between how prominently space marines are featured in a game and how good the soundtrack is. Mechanicus and Darktide have no marines, but they have dope soundtracks. Rogue Trader and Inquisitor Martyr have some marines, but focus is overwhelmingly on non-marine characters, and the soundtracks are still quite good. The Space Marine and DoW games put marines front and center, and those games have completely forgettable musical scores.

I'll give Hired Gun and Chaos Gate a listen to see if the theory holds, but right now it seems like marines somehow make 40k sound meh.

>>96005244

>>96005139
>Pete the Wargamer

I liked him a lot more before he started putting his face in his videos. I don't understand why every YouTuber feels the need to always reveal their face. They can never just keep their channel purely about their content and always have to eventually make it about themselves.

>>96005289
while I hate it too, its the nature of the algorithm
they'll get more views and clicks with a face and even if they're doing it for the love of the hobby, if they can make a few bucks on top then why wouldn't they

>>96005281
WHAT? wasn't chaos around befor humanity was a thing? I am not sure if this is old or new lore but chaos was an alternate dimension full of energy the "old ones" tapped into to use as a weapon against necrontyr, but how you have to pull something into this universe you have to give something back so thoughts and feelings of oldones and their creations birthed "live" in the chaos realm manifesting as damons n shit...

>>96005289
I used to like Pete until he sold his soul to GW. It's obvious he signed that one NDA just so he can get free shit ahead of time.
Also in general I've felt that his conversion stuff has just become boring and very basic. Hell, he doesn't even finish the fucking conversion/kitbash series he even starts.
>here's how you can convert these models to be from the iron warriors legion
>never continues
Also lot of his shit has just become "hey what if i took X and made it chaos" or it's just his raptor marines, which are both honestly boring and uninspired to me.

>>96005289
was going to post this >>96005302

How ugly are they gonna make the female Dark Eldar models?

>>96005305
Emperor's and Horus' final battle shattered space and time itself which allowed the suffering and anguish from the Siege of Terra and all the Chaotic Warp energy to be poured out into the world at the begining of time. Chaos has always existed.

Humanity was always the problem. Humanity's greatest sin in 40k is its own existance.

>>96005315
Yeah I remember when he used to encourage the use of third party minis and bits in order to save money. Now he only talks about using official GW kits. Sad to see someone who clearly used to be passionate about the hobby sell their soul like that simply because they don't want to work a regular 9-5 job to pay their bills.

>>96005322
Do you really need to ask?

>>96005327
Makes no sensse humanitys existence would have nothing to do with it if it was only because of the fight with horus and big e. also if that stuff is true then 40k is not consistent with its own time travel laws. (also that lore is stupid)

>>96005322
Extremely. It's a trademark of the marxist activist computer CAD monkeys (I shant call them sculptors).

Emperor and Horus only exists, because humanity does.
>also if that stuff is true then 40k is not consistent with its own time travel laws.
It's still canon and what really happened at the end of the Heresy. You liking it is irrelevant.

>>96005359
Anon, I like the guy already, you don't need to sell him to me harder.

>>96004973
Land Raiders are a Veteran transport due to basically being a relic vehicle. Terminators usually go in them, but if you don’t want to do that, I’d add Bladeguard to your list

Why does the 10e fluff tell me that Veteran Intercessors exist even if there is no such datasheet in 10e?

>>96005367
Rope yourself

>>96005359
And you 'just happen' to know what their favourite tags are, huh?

>>96005375
>noooooo where is my superfluous datasheet!!1 I can't just paint these guys slightly different I need another datasheet I'm never going to use arghhhhhhhhhh

>>96005362
>You liking it is irrelevant.
true
horus is literally a creation of the emporer and the emporer (is he now "human" from the lore or is it still open he might be an old one or something entirely else?) so it is not the sin of humanity, just the sin of one "man" otherwise it would be the fault of the universe existing because without that humanity would not exist and so on bullshit.

>>96005315
His chaos vulkan looked fucking god awful, it's clear that he just got the fulgrim model for free and had to do something with it, the stubby little arms where he can't even use the hammer two handed let alone properly swing it just looks so silly, it's clear he couldn't be bothered to figure it out and just wanted something he could put out in time to make a sponsorship deal.

>>96005375
You’d just use regular Intercessors and paint them as Vets.

We all know Black Templars scare the hoes. But what Chapter reassures the hoes?

Points costs need to go up like 25-40% across the board. Or everyone changes to 1500 point games.

Fact: primaris veterans may only wear terminator and tacticus armor patterns. If a primaris veteran for whatever reason chooses to wear phobos, gravis, or omnis armor, they have to stop being a veteran.

>>96005391
>Points costs need to go up like 25-40%
But enough about Death Guard

>>96004855
In 11th? So DE are the starter?

>>96005390

I sincerely hope that 11th edition brings back forge organization, but in a more permissive way.

>>96005273
Yes, most people on YouTube are retarded secondaries who don't know shit about the setting beyond memes, and never touched any tabletop material or a codex at all.

>>96005398
Another 40kg idiot. Its already been reported, even in the same video that you turds are ripping that quote from, that starter will be SM VS ORKS

Do swooping hawks count as elite

>>96005305
>>96005384
Way I heard it is chaos gods even if they come into existence later they somehow have always existed, so humanity creating them throughout history means they;ve somehow always been around, either way a better argument is that even if the eldar created slaanesh (which doesnt make sense since the craftworlders/exodites had no part in it), humanity gave every chaos god countless marines and random human followers, not to mention indirectly creating the great rift

>>96005273

>>96005305
He's talking out of his ass about a fake 'leak' from Siege of Terra. Chaos has always been spawned by the War In Heaven following the extinction of the Old Ones. That created the initial concepts that over time became the Chaos Gods as races across the galaxy developed and created minor aspects of each that then combined to make the whole.

Ok, PSA for all newfrens who has just played 10th and doesn't know what an elite role is. Go to wahapedia and pick an older edition. There you'll find your codex and there will be a section for elite roles. Easy.

>>96005442
Oh so it is just about some strange leaks, now i get whats wrong. thx.

>>96005462
I wish it was easier to convince people to play older editions while the new ones catch up on rules.

>>96005375
we need to go back

>>96005446
Intercessors are already the equivalent of a firstborn veteran just by existing. GW needs to stop catering to the firstborn flags and just say 1st Company and all Terminator honors only go to Primaris Marines. Hell, I'd even extend it to any remaining firstborn marines being relegated to non-combat roles while all combat roles are fulfilled by the clearly superior Primaris Marines.

>>96005470
>firstborn flags
gms

>>96005463
I'm not sure why that one picked up of all things but it's been a go-to deflection from Eldarfags any time Slaanesh is brought up now.

>>96005078
Sandman of Terra

I really wish that more important characters died crossing the Rubicon. That surgery is supposed to be extremely dangerous with a brutal recovery period, even for veteran Marines

>>96005483
Sure. Which important character models do you own? Those can be the ones that died

Someone's selling the pic related for whopping €200. I was gonna get 2 ridgerunners, 4 acolytes and an Iconward for €120 but got offered the whole thing. Do I pull the plug? I don't need those stuff but having access to 40 more neophytes + other stuff seems too good to pass. They'll be just sitting on my pile of shame but there aren't any good deals on Neophytes anymore even though I have 40 already.

>>96005456
>>obnoxious retardhuge tits

>>96005466
I hear you. This was more so people don't have to ask" is x an elite" in the thread though. They're asking because the monthly collage theme is elite squad.

>>96005470
I'd also add that the lore should say that firstborn marines aren't even allowed to wear power armor anymore. Not should they be allowed to beat their chapter's iconography anywhere on their uniform. Basically, make the firstborn no better than a chapter serf just to piss off the remaining grogs.

>>96005486
Well, the only named marine I own is Kharn the Betrayer.

Um, why does Lazarus have the Deathwing keyword? He's actually the captain of the fifth company, not the first.

>>96005454
Only reason why Emps or Horus exists is because of humanity, if humanity doesn't exist then Chaos can never be transported back in time to the begining of the universe. Humanity also are responsible for awakening Khorne, Tzeentch and Nurgle during the middle-ages.

Why did they even know about Templars if Emps wiped out religions on Terra a gorillion years ago

Thinking of using these as proxies for Votann. Would most players consider that acceptable?

>>96005520
Too thin, those are clearly Eldar proxies.

>>96005428
I did, it's a miracle

>>96005499
Like said befor, it is not even clear the emporer is a descent of humans. and even IF, it would be everythings fault that is needed for humans to exist because without that humans would not exist, those are pretty shitty arguments. in addition slaanesh was created befor humans where a thing and humans are supposed to have created the gods that came befor that in the middle ages with barely any human presence while billions of other creatures completly capable of spawning chaos gods have no say in this... i think you have way to much headcanon there.

In the fluff primaris tend to be inexperienced and reckless with larger than necessary casualties. The sovlful way to fix the firstborn/primaris divide would be to adopt the black templar apprentice system.

>it is not even clear the emporer is a descent of humans
It is clear and already been confirmed. Emperor is a human.
No matter how you try to spin this shit, humanity is the problem and Chaos is humanity's own sins made manifest coming to haunt it.
That's the unsavory truth of 40k and always was.

>>96005530
>it is not even clear the emporer is a descent of humans

Yes it is. How new are you to the setting? The Emperor was born in Anatolia around 8000BC when all the psykers on earth at the time (called shaman) gathered and ritually killed themselves to combine all their souls into one super powerful psyker soul that was then inserted into the human that would become the Emperor as he was being born.

>>96005520

The only similarity between the Greek and the eldar is that they both have a penchant for gay sex.

>>96005540
>In the fluff primaris tend to be inexperienced and reckless with larger than necessary casualties.
No, they don't, they're better trained, better armed and are drawn from the best of the best of the golden age of the imperium 10k years ago and put into extensive simulations for all sorts of scenarios and necessities, they're simply superior to firstborn in every respect.

>>96005549

>>96005564
That’s objectively wrong, sure once they get enough experience they do fine, but in some of the early Indomitus crusade books Firstborn and those who’ve crossed the Rubicon Primaris mention that while the Cawl babies are well trained and competent, they don’t really have the same instincts and understanding that their predecessors did. It wasn’t till after the Unnumbered Sons split up after several bloody campaigns that they were acknowledged as now being pretty much the same, just bigger, stronger, and faster.

"elite" may have not been the right choice due to the confusion. maybe an infantry unit that isnt battleline

>>96005662
>Firstborn and those who’ve crossed the Rubicon Primaris mention that while the Cawl babies are well trained and competent, they don’t really have the same instincts and understanding that their predecessors did.

And? That isn't definitive at all. Those are just the biased opinions of firstborn who fear being replaced.

>>96005662
>That’s objectively wrong
No, it's correct, they were better than firstborn in literally every situation from the very start.

>>96005411
striking scorpions and fire dragons might count. the rest of the aspect warriors were either troops, fast attack or heavy support

>>96005669
I don't understand how it could cause confusion. It means a terminator or terminator equivalent for your faction.

>>96005642
>>96005660
Still waiting, bitch boy. Prove that rulebook is yours.

Would it be a dumb idea to kitbash an 40k IG regiment using Solar Auxilia bits to create an army that I can pretend was raised from a series of colonies around a gas giant like Saturn (since just pretending to have a Saturn regiment is a no-go in the modern setting)? Vehicles, equipment, and other major pieces are the 40k units, I'd just be using the Auxilia bodies to man everything and make up the infantry.

>>96005700
>I don't understand how it could cause confusion
>anons have been asking about it for the last 2 days and half the time post something that isnt an elite squad

>>96005711
No it's not a dumb idea at all. That's the beauty of the Guard. You can make your dudes look like literally anything and it will still be lore accurate.

>>96005666
Good morning. Do the current havocs not even have the option for alternate heads? This is some scion plasma bullshit right here, sorry.

>>96005711
No, there's an endless potential looks for the imperial guard.
You don't even need to justify or explain it either, you think no planet ever incidentally ended up creating a culture of diving-suit-like guardsmen?

>>96005666
GM anon, they look goog

>>96005732
I love that the classified one kinda looks like the Savlar Chemdogs. I know they weren't conceptualized by GW at that point, but this makes it seem like the Imperium just doesn't even want to acknowledge the existence of the Chemdog regiments.

>>96005669
A quick trip to wahapedia clears up any confusion. Really the only people who don't know what an elite is are new and lazy.

>>96005777
Does that mean I can submit my Atlas Recovery Tank? That was technically listed as an Elite for the Guard in previous editions.

>>96005732
>Mordian is the only one with proper posture
Excellent.

>>96005801
God I love Satsuki and her fat eyebrows

>>96005726
There are a few compatible, all 5 of them are actually different, but they do kind of look similar I admit.

But the bodies instead are the same except for 1, that was the real problem.

I actually got a real Havoc kit, then 3 Chainreaper Havocs and 2 Lascannon Havocs from Z, so I can have a full squad with lascannon and one with chainreapers, but these all came with the same singular body and weapon.

Mixed and match, minor conversion trying to make them look different enough.
Lascannon went great I think, but there is only so much I can do with the chainreaper since it's a 2 handed weapon with only 1 model available.

That's also why I had to convert the Champion in this squad from scratch basically, I didn't have a second one.
Also the kit don't have the powerfist but it's in the option because why not, so I had to figure that out.

>>96005753
Thanks

>>96005788
Is a tank a squad? Don't be like that anon. An elite squad of about 5 models.

>are chaincannons good with EC or in general right now?
EC don't have Havocs anymore, like most units.
But I play Bile's CSM now.

No idea if they are good, but I would like to try them in Renegade and/or with a Sorceror Terminator somewhere.
The real downside of the Chaincannon is the AP, so I assume if I can fix that they would be good?

>>96005914

psykers pre-enshitting of the warp.

Powerful psyker perpetuals from ancient times. More and more of them were devoured by daemons mid reincarnation which is why they chose to pool resources.

don't worry, they won't, they'll keep being dinozords with chaos trims and shit with spider legs.

>>96006014
probably not, they did it because the warp was becoming too turbulent to reincarnate, in 40k they'd probably get mauled by daemons instantly.

>>96005998
Contrast are a tool and using them effectively is a particular skill.

If you rely completely on them even when you are not supposed to, then yes, it makes you a bad painter.

But if you use them in an arsenal of skills and techniques you can use depending on the situation, then they actually make you a better painter.

Golden throne eats psykers to keep him alive. but usually if you offer a lot of souls "today" (in 40k universe) you open a rift into the warp.

I play Dark Angels and I like cowled marines (only their veterans have cowls)
Not every faction's poster boys are the basic troops choice.

>>96006096
There's an awful lot of people who definitely prefer fielding an army's elite and flashy stuff over its basic troops, yes, we even have extremely successful armies whose main appeal is that their player doesn't have to bother with having an actual army.
It's an unfortunate fact of this wargame that a great number of its fans don't actually want to field something that looks like an army.
And when facing this truth, you either filter them out, hindering growth, or you try to make alternative army builds as possible as conventional army builds, which of course it's way harder to juggle.
It's not surprising gw went with the latter, considering you don't really get to feel the problems of balance until you've already been tricked into splurging money on models.

That's where I'm at. The Firestorm 30 Infernus marines are better, even.

>>96006135
They should've been filtered out. Dumbing shit down is what the eventual downfall for most hobbies.

>>96006135
I know two different guard guys that don't like Fielding infantry besides Scions and ogren which is bizarre to me.

>>96005078

Honestly would love something to watch but even the least bad options are still total fart sniffers like vince, pete the wargamer, and leutin. Even those are not tolerable for me.

>>96006120
It's something you can only figure out with experience, really.

Painting miniatures is not art, but craft.
And like any craft the more you know the more solutions you can find to the problem (unpainted minis), so you can choose the best one.

You look at the project you want to do and value what techniques will grant you the best result in your budget of time and effort.

I personally like hybrid techniques.
When I do stuff like commission painting I do the main colours in contrast, but then do the details with base painting.
That way I don't have to be too careful with the contrast paint.

For example, if I'm doing a barbarian type mini, I'll paint the skin with contrast but I don't have to be careful around belts and other details, because I will do them in base anyway.

If I were to paint all in contrast, they overlap so I can't be as fast and careless.
So actually using only contrast would slow me down in this case.

How do I know that? Experience and personal taste.

Pls no.

My dudes are from a world that was once ruled by a knight house, the knight house has died out along with all their suits but their warrior traditions are now carried on by the rest of the nobility.
Most of them are formed into mechanized or armoured regiments and structured along feudal lines with individual squads being led by a minor noble and made up of his personal retinue.
I wrote a lot more and even made a whole OOB for these guys because autism, they're structured a bit like soviet mech divisions. But I know it was all for myself.

>>96006387

Their original rulers fought themselves into extinction and there are no more suits to be had.
They use scion rules and even basic troopers are pretty much the equivalent of a feudal knight. War isn't the responsibility of peasants unless the planet is directly invaded.

>>96006472
What inspired your list?

>>96006285
My Genestealer Cult is an overtaken Inquisitorial fleet from the ordo hereticus. After investigating a strange cult on an agraworld the cult was able to infest Interrogator Uris Verom and spread over his entire ship and from there to the rest of the fleet. Inquisitor Gosen Inspirian was a strong psyker that somehow still echoes in the patriarchs mind after their fierce final battle. Because of that the entire cult still acts as part of ordo hereticus and hunts chaos marines and cultists. Hence they simply call themselfs Cult Hereticus.

>>96006498
mainly the big infiltrating blender and asymmetrical CP game (gen my own + make your strats costlier), I built it out from there.

right now my marine list-building core is phobos cap, 2x infiltrators, and 2x vindicator. Lt with combi-weapon and 2x scouts for fixed secondaries synergize well with that. putting ghostweave on phobos cap makes it super Lt with Combi, putting shadow war vet on Lt with Combi makes it super Callidus, and ventris adds more redundancy for that aura ability while Calgar gens CP for the other half of the equation. BGVs for those leaders, inceptors for deep striking guns, and brutalis for heavy melee rounds it out.

My DA point still stands. We have to jump through hoops to have robed DA basic troops.
Whereas BT and SW have their aesthetically valid marines as battleline.
At least now you can have robed DA or a deathwing army without the troops tax. This is even more eggregious for DA since the greenwing, deathwing and ravenwing are so aesthetically different, someone who likes a wing may not necessarily like another wing.

I can't imagine spending all this time building a list army when you already have a pile of shame. By the time you're done painting all that a new edition will have rolled out or a rule patch or whatever and your list might not work anymore

You do you man, you seem to have fun, keep that going for ya

>>96006539
They are always hunting and fighting a nurgle cult and marines (army of my buddy, he does not really have much background story). There is no other inquisitor on their heels yet but they lost a planet to another inquisitor that cleaned it but he has not connected any dotts yet. The entore fleet is either hibrids or under mind controle (most are hybrids). To tell the truth i never really went with what hive fleet they where from but i thought about Ouroboris just because the paint cheme being close.

$230 with tax included for Cerastus Lancer, insane pricing yo.

>>96006619
The idea of a hive fleet or even a splinter fleet trailing along, and undoing their victories against Nurgle by devouring the now clean biomass is pretty neat. Anyway thanks for sharing.

>>96005375
What would veteran intercessors job even be that isn't already covered by sternguard?

>>96005540
>The sovlful way to fix the firstborn/primaris divide would be to adopt the black templar apprentice system.
The only way to redeem this is to stop making them separate types of marines and just reintroduce the terran/primarch homeworld divide from the heresy.

>>96006582
I think you're missing the whole point actually. The issue is someone who builds an army in a faction/subfaction without liking the basic troops.
Marines are THE faction with easy to pimp troops. Yes, GW is ass and now robed DAs are just not sold anymore (I'm not buying the same 3x inner circle jerkers to make even 2 barebone tac squads), BUT if you like that look for your basic troop then you can field troops you visually like.
In the end the crux of it all is people playing an army game thinking an army doesn't have troops.

Doesn't matter really, official rules or not I don't have to accept to play against those kinds of players and I can afford to chose who I spend my time with.

>>96006648
ntab
Cheaper maybe? They'd be like intercessors with an extra point or two in their stats without the full cost of sternguards and their options?

>>96005495
This is why you don't have any friends.

>>96006662
What options? They sternguard do the exact same things as intercessors but better. If you want cheaper you have intercessors already. There's not enough room for any in-between in such a narrow concept.

>>96006153
>They should've been filtered out. Dumbing shit down is what the eventual downfall for most hobbies.
Do you also feel it should be impossible to field a chaos army without cultists making up a sizeable portion of your list, or that it should be impossible to field an army of only grey knights?

>>96006674
Veteran intercessors have bolters
Sternguards have combiweapons and a HB/PC
What melee options do Vet Interc. Sgts have?

>>96006697
Combiweapons might aswell not exist anymore but in any case, sternguard still do everything intercessors can do but better so there's still no point in a veteran intercessor unit.

did WH+ ever release PDF for doom of mymeara like it did for badab? I wanna look at pretty pictures.

>>96006718
God I need Imperial Armour to come back. It's peak 40k.

>>96006715
If you look at things this way there's no reason for 99% of things to exist.

>>96006718
No, that book got retconned.

>>96006601
>I can't imagine spending all this time building a list army when you already have a pile of shame
totally fair. i just enjoy the theory crafting and I can't hobby right now because of a hand injury.

What's he up to nowadays?

>>96006796
Abaddon gave him a Blackstone Fortress and he just kinda fucked off.

>>96006735
When there's already a unit that covers that exact niche? Of course not. For all intents and purposes sternguard are veteran intercessors.

>>96006770
>hobby-shaming people
It doesn't help. Pile of shame I say just go work on some flashing. Barrel drilling. Chunk removal.

It's a bit of zen after a while. Do the whole batch and have a tackle box of the bits separated from the sprues. Keep the sprues for terrain later. Mini hobby bags if you must if there's no tacklebox type container available.

Once that step is done with -all- you plan on building then maybe you'll play with them like they're legos.

>>96006796
Ran a chaos lord competition where the winner chaos lord gets all the losers warbands ships and troops and shot loads of Hurons own ships and troops. Honsou won it and get a huge army to invade Ultramar lots of buildup, and then the next book hard cuts to him and his army being utterly defeated as Ultramar PDF hunt down the last of his forces. Got I fucking hated reading Storm of Iron, so bad. Huron has a traitor Salamander in his crew as well. 99% sure all of that that got retconed though

>>96006735
Trim the fat then
Marines codex could be half the size

>>96006848
I mean it was half the size until primaris added tons of unnecessary bloat and then 10th split even more datasheets because having no points is retarded.

>>96006558
The vanilla lore is good enough as it is and it got me into the faction in the first place. Everything else is kitschy.

>>96006718
alright so they DID add all of IA. /r/equesting DOOOOOOOOOM of mymeara pdf (pretty please)

>>96006796
>remember a rumor of a plastic Huron and Armenneus coming out that was posted ages ago
Time flies.

Eldar are so cool, I like how warithbone in fan art can be really clean or very Beksinski like

>>96006895

>>96006895
>Eldar are so cool,
They really aren't.

Speaking of wraith one, what are Dark Eldar armors made out of if they can't sing exotic materials into existence but still have the same saves and maneuverability?

>>96006921
They really are.

>>96006930
>Gay pride parade
>Clearly compensating for something
>Spirit Halloween decoration

>>96006921
Wrong

>>96006930
pic unrelated?

>>96006925
Still Warithbone. They can't grow it but they can shape it. Where do they get it from? Craftworlders and probably enslaved craftworlders?? I could be wrong, Incubi armour is just power armour though not wrraithbone as far as I know

>>96006937
The rainbow warriors aren't Eldar. Nor the comically large desolator or the flame skull legion of the damned.

>>96005390
I forced my gf to look at space marines and pick which she liked best. Because I’m a cruel bastard. Anyway out of all the main space marine chapters in stock, dark angels were her absolute favorite, followed by space wolves. She specifically said she likes the “concept” of space wolves as well. So yeah, dark angels and space wolves get bitches, unfortunately.

Reminder that craftworlders are basically space chud puritans whilst commorites are the real eldar

>>96006944
Incubi is special Aspect armor. The Kabals and Scourges armor is Ghostplate

>>96005540
Black Templar apprentice system is really cozy and neat I feel, really hammers home the knightly order feel

>>96006965
Someone put it best recently that Commorites are the true Eldar like Californians are the true Americans. Which is to say you are correct.

>>96006843
Huron is likely a major thorn in the side of GW’s plans for CSM as a faction. He’s been around for too long since the Badab War started during the RT era. He’s a far more digestible version of everything they want to do with the Black Legion as well.

>>96006715
There is a reason, and it’s so I can have sticky objectives and OC2 in my veterans list.

Dark Angels are elite, Black Templars are just orks

>>96006813
>batch clip and bag
that's what i did, but then the idea of removing flash for so many bits got overwhelming desu. shouldve just gone squad by squad. same thing is gonna happen when it comes time to paint, i just know it

>>96006930
I'm a total lorelet, so my opinion is automatically retarded. But I think Eldar could be really cool if they just got a little more attention and maybe a slight aesthetic overhaul. Their underlying concept as a race is genuinely interesting, but for immortal space elves, they somehow don't carry the strength or gravitas that you'd expect from them.

>>96006718
>>96006876
I want you to post the pretty pictures you take in exchange though
https://gofile.io/d/vRrW6l

>>96007004
GW has attempted to focus on Eldar in the past. It never works.

>>96007004
Corsairs and the new Ynnari armor (Visarch?) capture that aesthetic a bit better than the Craftworlds leotards s with plastic plates look does, I think.

>>96007012
thanks! I kinda expected higher res, but it's still better than expected

>>96007012
You ever so those clips of people play “using” their cats as machine guns? I get the vibe whenever I see images of gaunts with guns like that pic.

>>96007031
Name three times you think GW has ever "focused on Eldar" in the past. And don't say Ynnari because that was just an excuse for Gulliman's return.

>>96007004
GW keep giving their novels to dogshit writers who hate them and shit on them

>>96007035
wait a minute... the wraithlords I posted appear to be missing which means they must belong to "da rules" category... as d oblueprints... and corsair... and fucking wolves. holy shit so much is removed because of "no muh rules" that it's actually sad. Imma post a few more anyway I guess.

>>96007045
Doom of Mymaera (All Eldar units involved now out of production)
Path of the Eldar books (Failures)
The Ynnari (Fuck you, they count)

I want to run Spinefist Gaunts
Is upgrading 6 guns in the 20 gaunt unit too many to make them ill effective in melee range if I want to tie an objective up? Since the Pistol rule is great, and the special weapons aren't so great.
2 Str 3 Twin linked Pistol (I plan on using Hyper Adaptations with Invasion fleet)

Is it meta or weak?

>Forge world shit

>>96007071

>>96007058

If I had to control eldar I would start shoving their aspects into the basic units as specialists. Since they need to recruit people, they would be like Crusader Templar units. I would make everything "Assault" and add "Heavy" to the various units that have range.

Imagine swooping hawk initiates added to actual swooping hawks.

>>96007084

>>96007061
Doon of Mymeara wasn't GW, that was Forgeworld and was quite well received at the time anyway. Forgeworld being defunct now and all the models getting retired to doesn't change what they were.

Path of the Eldar was a travesty though and Gav Thorpe deserves the Leagues of Votann he's writing fir now.

>>96007102
>I don't know if mymeara got a second edition, because some books lost pictures between their first and second edition
it does have a 2nd ed (2011/2015 for 5th/7th). Imma try looking for missing pics real quick. also lole at pic rel.

>Heres your new planetary governor

>>96007089

>>96007116
He'd probably do a better job than most.

>>96007102
>>96007114
in the fluff part I only noticed the 1st having a pic of praetor armored assault launcher. once eldar engines of destruction start it becomes a bit messy, but ultimately I only noticed 2nd having the teleporting knight unlike the 1st.

typhus mini is so retardedly overdetailed the shaft of the weapon broke and i didn't notice until days later lmao

>>96006994
Why would you assume they'd give them those rules when intercessors already do that? Just paint their helmets white my dude.

>>96007064
Poking again.
What style of Termagaunt works best in a gaunt heavy list?

>>96007358
nta but I do think the 30k marine (and especially AdMech) completely mogs the 40k releases. Not just in terms of mdodels but also in what units they added to expand the roster and how they work together.

>>96007352
my conspiracy theory is because 40k is selling well anyway, so they use their pro designers for their other systems to make people "dip into another system"

>>96007403

>>96007371
I wonder what the interns are going to redesign the Drukhari heckin free spirits of sexually liberated gender fluid self-expression and living their best life as looking like.

>>96007406
Oh no. I hate more units, that's just the worst offenders. Electropriests, the cowboys, the birdmen, the chicken striders and castellans all fucking suck. I just want them to pick skitarii, onagers, the servitors and the techpriests and put them in the 30k roster.

>>96007352
The galaxy was well grounded, badass, and had cool models... UNTIL CHAOS SHOWED UP.

>>96007410
Every 30k vehicle is better than the 40k vehicles though? Techthralls are cool, but I don't ask for them to replace skitarii. I want both.

>>96007406
Seriously, who dislikes the Sicarians? They're pretty awesome. And even the battleline Skitarii and the Tech priests all look great. I personally love the Kataphrons battle servitors too but those are ea tad more decisive.

>>96007427
Chaos was here long before Humanity began and will be here long after it ends.

>>96007435
>Every 30k vehicle is better than the 40k vehicles though?
no that overdesigned unreadable slop does not look better no matter how many times you try to scream it

>>96007448
It does. Even if you don't like it it will still be better than the retarded fucking open topped landboat or a stupid chopper with wings and fucking feet.

>>96007454
nope, feel free to keep crying about it though

>>96007456
I hope your army gets primarized.

>>96007447

>that reimagine every unit in your army
nta but how is that a good thing? i like my necrons i wouldn't like every unit to be different it'd be different army entirely

>>96007459
Not the anon you replied to but did the Tempestous Scions count as guard primaris?

>>96007475
>infinity
oh so you're just saying words, my mistake

>>96007461
Primaris marines are fine.
I just prefer Mk3 power armor.
And the nuMK3 because LoGH made me like Germany, more specifically Prussia and now I like pickelhaubes.

>>96007478
You wouldn't like a Pariah equivalent of every Necron unit scaled to human size with Necron weapons and all new Pariah Overlords and characters to use alongside your existing Necrontyr warriors and such?

>>96007468
These are pretty cool, I'll give you that one. Everything else aside from maybe the archmagos prime model is shit though

>>96007479
Not really but it fucked any chance of getting plastic stormtrooper sculpts so fuck them.

>>96007489
>to use alongside your existing Necrontyr warriors and such?
Then they wouldn't be like primaris now would they?

>>96007494
>plastic stormtrooper sculpts
What exactly do you think tempestus scions are?

>>96007352
These look boring and honestly terrible.
The oversized shoulder pads and axe look awful.

>>96007501
How long did it take after primaris came out before any kit of the firstborn got retired? At least one full edition right?

>>96007504
A completely different design for the exact same unit which means we'll never get a sculpt for the old, way cooler design.

>>96007461
These look fine, the only problem they have is the poses.
The guy on the far left is the one with the only good pose, just snip the rock off the foot and glue him onto the base.

>>96007512
as if the plan wasn't total replacement from the beggining. I'd like some pariah units sure but not a total reimagination of the entire army, the update we got was perfect

you only thought you could escape the furries

>>96007461
Reminder that these two boxes cost the same and have the exact same weapon options.

>>96007537
these look horrible though

>>96007531
Kino… so fucking kino…

>>96007461
>>96007537
People will pretend like these models look exactly the same. They're definitely "close enough" for proxy but you can tell one is clearly more detailed.

>>96007537
And I still wouldn't buy those. I'd just buy regular assault ints instead.

>>96007531
They just have to shoehorn fucking Wulfen in there.

>>96007531
>Furry Ass scar
They're not even being subtle anymore...

>>96007531
that's fine. wulfen aren't that bad, they're just a little pug-faced.

I want to see primaris armor get different patterns like firstborn did.
Maybe the posterboy primaris armor can be the Sanctus Pattern and then a new pattern of Primaris Power Armor can be made called the "Nihilus Pattern."

Or has GW kind of already done this with Space Wolves having to reuse firstborn power armor bits with their primaris power armor due to being on the border near the "Nihilus line?"

>>96007583
>I want to see primaris armor get different patterns
Phobos, Gravis, Tacticus

>>96007588

Sorry I'm ESL. If I am just confusing you guys then my apologies.
Maybe Primaris armor styles that affect phobos, gravis, and tacticus due to supply constraints.

I wouldn't be surprised if GW narratives come out saying the Space Wolves mix their firstborn gear with Primaris due to supply constraints hence why their armor looks like that.
Could be dubbed "Nihilus jury rigging" if I was in charge.

finally found the bit so I could ask a questioning question about it: is there a single instance of these blisters being open or damaged in art or model form? lots of them on wraith constructs. and I guess that BL descriptions are welcome as well.

You'll be a little handicapped if you find that heavy weapons squads are not a thing, but it is doable.

Just have a paper printed with the images of the guardsmen and what they're proxying as for you and your opponent to better keep track of the units.

Maybe let your opponent field a legends or their own homebrew unit so you can do the same too.

What's the issue? They're just an Army regiment and Army was divided into Guard and Navy. They're no different than any other regiment. Just because SA got special rules in 30k doesn't change that. You'll have to do some converting for various special weapons (or find recasts of the old kits that came with certain weapons), but that's about it.
>>96007653
>heavy weapons squads are not a thing
SA got the best HWT alternatives, you just need to do a little tweaking on the weapons.

Never saw those light sentinels as HWT. Now I see it.
>Is this a joke?
No. Even in casual games people will pretend to be retarded to proxiers for advantage or to frustrate the player to quit so they can claim victory through opponent forfeit. That's why the printed papers are important.

GW can change it if they want. Also it looks fine.

>>96007797

>>96007641
Cool with me. Almost any type of proxy for Astra Militarum should be acceptable as long as all the important stuff is there like base sizes and weapons matching the datasheets.

>>96007806
>bolt rifle uses different ammo
It does not, it's still the same .75 caliber bolts. Only thing changed is the length of the barrel.

>>96007817
the ones i have are the red plastic from killteam (come to think of it the manipulus from that same box ALSO always breaks)
fucking GW

>>96007844
where does it say that

>>96007797
You don't save the old ones for just such a case?

>>96007761
You've got me questioning whether I'm playing casual games with actual retards or they're pretending to be retarded or both now.
I want my 10 minutes making those papers back now.

>>96007848
Where does it say that it fires different sized bolts?

>>96007895
you assume bolters and heavy bolters fire the same rounds?
what about heavy bolt rifles the heavy intercessors use?

>>96007901
>you assume bolters and heavy bolters fire the same rounds?
I never said that.

>>96007844
.38 Special and .357 Magnum use the same bullet, but they're not the same cartridge by any means. There's also a .75 caliber Heavy Bolter, the Sol pattern.

>>96007915
read up on the xeno hunter bolter rounds,

im assuming you "read it somewhere" and didn't remember where, but my tidbit is that they use a lot of rounds for bolters, and since they're resizing them....

Boltguns don't even use the same calibers. Tigrus patterns are .60 cal while Godwyns are .75

>>96007811
Fucking wish, but no.

Which chapter hates eldar the most?

>>96007946
All the more reason why bolt rifles fucking suck. There's no nerd for them to exist, let alone have completely separate rules to any other boltgun pattern.

>>96007958
Salamanders. According to memes.

>>96007958
They all hate Eldar pretty bad.
Salamanders or Marauders.

>>96007806
>>96007901
>you assume bolters and heavy bolters fire the same rounds?
Known to be different calibers since 5e.
>what about heavy bolt rifles the heavy intercessors use?
Same .75 bolts as Godwyn pattern bolters, there's nothing in any codex indicating they changed from that unless you can post the source something new.

>>96007958
The one I made up.

>>96007823
>The type of fag that will say the exact same thing when they add fem marines

new space wolf gray hunters wield classic style bolters and they're called bolt carbines.
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/hx9biq5l/these-epic-new-space-wolves-will-write-sagas-worthy-of-the-allfather/

>>96007972
I was asking originally where this is posted in fluff. forgeworld stuff?

>>96007988
If they are called bolt carbines then they are still separate from the boltguns every other army (and tacticals) uses. They have a different statline too.

40K sisters? Our response???

>>96007985
Yes. I don't care if they add them, no skin off my nose.

>>96007988
>>96008002
Oh and even the new scouts use classic boltguns that are called boltguns and use boltgun stats.

>>96008004
I'm not a medium, so I can't really respond to a corpse.

>>96008002
>If they are called bolt carbines then they are still separate
They are just boltguns.
I know you're too autistic for you own good, but you need help.

>>96007993
Most of it is in the Codexes, Imperial Armour, and then Forgeworld had a few nice articles on individual weapons but you'd have to find archives for that now.

>>96008004
Fuck you primarisfag.

>>96008004
What's so egregiously wrong with assault intercessors with jump packs? They're basically just vanguard veterans with extra flaps.

>>96008004
We may look like less but you won't be able to paint them like that anyways?

>>96008018
If they were boltguns then GW would call them bomtguns like they do wirh every other pattern of boltgun everywhere else but they don't because god forbid primaris use an actual boltgun, no. They need their own super special version with better rules and longer models. Same goes for every special weapon. They can't use a flamer, god no, no, they need a PYREBLASTER. They can't use a meltagun it has to be a MELTA RIFLE. Fucking retards.

>>96007988
Seeing all the SW stuff right after this for DA makes me frustrated for them, even if I don't even play SM. Why can't they just make models with robes, helmet wings, and knight grills?

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/msumipr2/warhammer-heroes-brings-another-elite-team-of-space-marines-to-the-battlefield/

>>96007761
I have autogun resin bits. While they don't have drums, I can see some saying they can't tell which one is the autogun sergeant despite the autogun sergeant being the only guardsman with a drum autogun magazine.

But I think such papers may be necessary in some cases. I want to use pic related as a scout sentinel with rockets, smoke launchers, and chainsaw.
Because I really like the idea of a guard army using only tracked vehicles.

>>96008024
Mainly the poses.
Just buy regular assault intercessors and then get 3rd party bits for jump packs.

>>96008024
>They're basically just vanguard veterans with extra flaps.
Except for the bling, the mix of armous and the two dozen weapon options they are missing.

>>96008038

They are boltguns

>>96008057
I'm not the one writing them my dude. If it were me they'd have boltguns. But they don't.

>>96008066
They have precission.

What are tyranid elite units? Lictors?

>>96008087
>precission [sic]
no
but even if it were the case, what kind of argument is that.
>the wielder shoots at the officers first, so it's a different gun type.

>>96008077
They are still boltguns.
>b-but the name
The name is irrelevant.

so a space wolf battleforce, A fulgrim battlefroce, and uh....maybe an eldari battleforce? What else are we expecting for this Christmas?

>>96008091
>but even if it were the case, what kind of argument is that.
The argument is that GW is full of retards and will invent a new weapon with a new name and different rules for what should be a fucking boltgun, the most iconic and basic of space marine weapons because they won't allow primaris to carry an actual, honest to god boltgun.

>>96008101
I gess bolt cannons are boltguns too if names and rules are irrelevant.

>>96008088

terminators are such fucking garbage right now, literally no survivability and gets wiped out by chainblade units

>>96008107
>The argument is that GW is full of retards and will invent a new weapon
>still S4 AP0 D1 like boltguns are

Yes, because you're an idiot.

>>96008134
>Bolt carbines have a different name
>Bolt carbines have different rules
If those don't matter and they are still boltguns, then heavy bolters are also boltguns.

>>96008147
>If those don't matter and they are still boltguns
Yes.
>then heavy bolters are also boltguns.
They are not.

you idiots do know that primaris marines use bolt rifles and not boltguns, right?

it already is

>>96008296
>every prominent figure
Yeah I dont care for slop tubers. Anyways the rules were literally generated by AI and for some reason GW wants churn the system while doing the 3 year cycle bit. The games going to be DOA.

>notice the LGS I frequent posted the got the new Space Wolves kits in
>pictures they posted to social media of it shows an obscene amount of boxes
>think it’s crazy when they still had 2 limited army boxes, so I check that post when they had got those in

Hot damn people want those Space Wolves, no wonder everything else is out of stock. No way GW doesn’t do Russ too, his kit alone would outsell entire Xenos factions.

>>96008241
I wonder what that tube going to the power pack is for.

>>96008296
wait, I've heard this before with AoS

>>96008308
Source Proofs? Genuinely asking.

>>96008320
iirc heavy bolters have an electric primer ignition system, not that a small lasgun tier battery wouldnt do the job for thousands of shots tho

>>96008309
>the rules were literally generated by AI
Do you have any proof or is it coming from your stinky rectum?

>>96008331
go ahead and go actually read the rules. The entire book needs to be redone.

>>96008334
Where's your proof that it was written by AI?

>>96008330
>>96008320
>Heavy Bolters operate differently to other bolt weapons. Instead of a firing pin physically striking the bolt shell to activate the projectile, a specific electronic pulse is applied in the firing chamber. Bolts are fed into the chamber by an electric motor, rather than exhaust gases cycling the action as in other Bolt weapons. Exhaust gases are only used to generate the power needs of the weapon

I guess it would be for the electric motor, not the ignition itself

I respect a man who finds solutions to problems instead of just wishing someone else solves them like how a lot of us complain about models expecting gw to solve them.

what specifically do they put in the launch box for 11ed on the Orks side?

Why are heavy bolters so cool /tg/?

>>96008471
I've had people pretend to be retarded about stock out of the box units because they didn't like that whatever thing they were about to do was going to delete their unit
I'll even have people who say I didn't mark a unit as OoM when I placed a counter right next to it
or my all time favorite, arguing about heroic interventions because they didn't get to charge the thing they wanted

>>96008544

>>96008556

Why? What would you do with that?

>>96008563
>Looks tacky
correct
>and unfitting of the setting
incorrect

>>96008493
From my understanding, all it takes is to get the Demon’s notice and have a way from them to appear where you want them. Demons are inherently illogical beings, so it’s difficult to bring them into existence in the material realm. However I don’t see why Grey Knights, who have the means to know where Demonic incursions will happen, couldn’t drag them to this reality if they had a way to maintain their presence this side of the warp. Don’t know why they’d want to though, unless it’s to preemptively banish them.

>>96008560
Jeez those players must be a pain to deal with. They are rare though in casual games right?

>>96008581
I only watch loretubers, they are fun and inviting and make the setting more appealing to my newfag mind.

>>96008587
mostly yes, you get a feel for your local and you either accept that the players being a PITA is just a fact of life or avoid them all together
but sometimes if you have a club/group and they do narrative games or crusades or whatever, you literally can't avoid these tools

>>96008583

>>96008583
Looks awesome dude, man I love wolves guys.

>>96008602
I see. I saw talk of how proper homebrew/legends model fielding etiquette is that if you want to field legends or homebrew you let your opponent do so as well.
I guess the same goes for proxies now?

>what proxies do you use
I used a Khador Widowmaker from the Warmachine model line as a vindicare assassin for a long time. But that was many years ago. if I wanted to use a vindicare now I would buy that cool model that looks like he's hiding at the top of a statue.

I also glued missiles on a Basilisk and called it a Manticore lol. This was before there was a Manticore model, or maybe my lgs was just out of it. This was like really early 5th edition.

>>96008560
>arguing about heroic interventions because they didn't get to charge the thing they wanted
We’re you playing tournament games when this was happening?

>>96008618
I mean obviously. Adepticon was won buy a guy running his Imperial Fists as Ultramarines, being autistic about wysiwyg is normally just a guy bitter about losing.

Can’t decide on multi laser turret or heavy bolter turret for chimera tanks. I think they both look cool and I feel like I might have to flip a coin on it.

>>96008618
my personal proxy rules: same base, obvious what the unit is meant to portray, relatively same profile
the dude who decides to bring scarabs and claims they are actually canoptek wraiths is on the permanent shitlist
>>96008635
casual games, the kind where you go "hey if you decide to make that charge mephiston is going to heroic intervention and he will have fights first and you won't"

>>96008609
it doesn't have to be identical

>>96008639
I feel like that's a glaring design flaw if you need to run your dudes as another chapter to do well.

>>96008645
I think the multi-laser turret looks better and iconic for the chimera but its hot garbo rules wise

>>96008556
I wish heavy bolter devastators were viable.

>>96008645
>multi laser
the very term is gonna activate a bunch of oldheads like manchurian candidates so I say go for it.

>>96008645
I’d just worry about whether you can play the models in previous editions at this point.
We’re heavy bolter turrets always a chimera thing since the current kit was released?

>>96008656
It doesn't match the setting in the slightest
It's just that shitty wolf helmet from the 2e captain scaled up to knight size for no fucking reason and it looks horrible

>>96008650
>same base
Base size change from edition to edition. Would it be better to just say as long as the base size was valid during an edition at some point?

>>96008662
>>96008666
Alright I’ll go with multi lasers then.
>>96008668
I’m not sure to be honest. Not even sure how far back the bulk of the guard kits are when they were released. But man they hold up well considering how old they are.

>>96008674
unfortunately changing bases is something we all have to deal with, it used to be the GW rule was if the base came in a box it was valid, but now they have bases on their app and I'm unsure what that means
I personally just rebase my stuff because removing bases is easy enough

>>96008671
>It doesn't match the setting in the slightest
the setting has and has had this type of tacky animal heads/helmets for a long time
it objectively fits the setting regardless of your seething

>>96008668
I got one last month and it’s got a Heavy Bolter option for the turret.

>>96008650
>same base
I did stand by this for a long while but lately GW is intent on giving things needlesly large bases. Especially elites or characters having bigger bases despite being the same size as a regular troop.

I’m kind of stuck between 50mm or 60mm (previous guard hwt were actually on 65mm bases) because the anvil industry hwt stuff is still for 60mm maybe I can stuff them into 50mm but I’m unsure. I do plan on playing previous editions of 40k but since I don’t intend to play tournaments I probably should be alright. At least I hope so.
