Is there a PDF anywhere of the most recent Space Hulk shit? It's not in the archive in the OP. Then again neither is nearly all of 9th edition.

>>96023285
Are those ossiarch bits?

>>96023261
a Kommando breacher boy. It barely has any paint on it so takinga pic is not worth it. I just spent a month painting AoS orcs and I got 3 more kommandos before I take a long break on painting orcs.

here's the last one I finished

>>96023324
Yup

>>96023341
looks damn fun, but his head is a bit big, isn't it?

>>96023341
I love how GWs treatment of dark eldar has turned everyone who plays them into proper hobbyists

>>96023347
Better?

Sorcerer termi with familiar are finally battle-ready.
I guess I'll paint a rhino next.

>>96023373
I love how literally everyone hates their newest Archon sculpt INCLUDING GW because their Codexes are all full of kitbashes and conversions of the sculpt to make it look less shit.

Should I start an Eldar, Dark Eldar or AdMech army next? I currently only play Guard and have no experience with any of them since no one plays them in my town.

>>96023424
As someone who collects both Dark Eldar and AdMech... Craftworld Eldar are probably way less painful and less expensive to collect and look pretty great to play by comparison too.

>>96023424
Dark Eldar if you can get a couple of those boxes still

>>96023435
Aren't they getting a massive range refresh next edition? Are those combat patrols still going to be great value in two years?

>>96023437
the stuff in the patrol box are some of the least likely to get refreshed, the box is insane value too
refresh is gonna be dragging the covens and wychs out of resin hell

I feel bad for Khorne

>>96023424
Eldar has a mostly refreshed range now, and even the old kits like the falcon hold up

>>96023420
I plan to use spare kabalite and hand of the archon arms for my archon when I build my combat patrol

>>96023437
Kabalites and boats are unlikely to be refreshed. Incubi definitely won't be they're from 2018.
So only the archon is likely to get a new sculpt.
There's way more urgent stuff like the out of print resin and also wyches/hellions in plastic that look dated

>>96023389
NTA but I like the big head but this one is also cool

>>96023427
>>96023435
>>96023451
I think I'll go with Eldar then, I was leaning towards them the most anyway. Thanks for the recommendations.

>>96023424
>Should I start an AdMech army next?
the answer to that is always no

>>96023467
Poor fucking AdMech, man. GE just doesn't know how to unfucking that army in price or rules at this point.

Where are my drop pod rules?
I want the drop pod rules now, GW.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>96023261
I think I'm done with them, they look decent, I need to take better pictures tho

Sex eldar

>>96023261
Did a bit more on her chair but didn't get to finish it since I have to go out for a game today. After I do up the chair I just have to focus on practicing Drukhari flesh so I can do her belly properly, and then work out if I'm doing a black outfit with purple highlights or purple with grey highlights.
Then I'll have my archon done and I can work on her court

Imperial Agents expansion is coming...
I can feel it...
>TQ
Anything in the imperium outside of space marines. Don't even want to be a contrarian but aside from a couple legions/chapters marine lore feels really samey in comparison to how diverse and grand the rest of the imperium is. The imperium is more diverse and tolerant than the tau empire but few know this...

>>96023541
Wait sorry didn't mean to post the Uma picture

I'm really happy with the arc rifle guys

Can eldar be blanks?

A reminder that for Holy Terra, the Imperial Fists are the epitome of what a Space Marine should be.
Fuck all the other chapters and legions!

>>96023569
No, Eldar cannot be "blanks" in the same way that humans can. While Eldar Solitaires are described as having a similar effect on psykers as blanks, they are not true blanks. True blanks, also known as pariahs, are a unique human mutant with no presence in the Warp, and only humans naturally produce them.

Another breaka, hoping to get through squad done soon

>>96023561
Neat use of tech thralls. I might stick some gun arms on the old metal servitors to make them fit in but that seems like a bit of a shame to me.

Where can I get a large chunk of lascannon (and larger las weapon) 3rd party alternatives?

>>96023649
He'll be an exo-armor Squat commanding a Squat Rapier unit.

>>96023662
I'd start looking at Kromlech for space marine parts.
But man GW's way they set up models on sprues really shows they are trying to frustrate kitbashers and third party.

>>96023389
kinda yeah, too bad for the marineshit pauldron

>>96023662
>>96023674
Sorry, should specify, I need them for vehicles, so I don't need any attached to arm. Just the lascannon itself.

>>96023678
What do you think Grotesques are made from?

>>96023692
Try bitzstore?
Elriks'hobbies' Blood And Skulls Industry section?
Those are the ones that come to my mind at the moment.

You reminded me that I need to reinstall Blender and try to modify some Chimera upgrade STLs with speakers to make a "Command Chimera."
Entirely cosmetic. It is just a chimera that carries the command squad if it is allowed to in game.

>>96023696
Not from pauldrons, that's for sure.

>>96023698
>Those are the ones that come to my mind at the moment.
I'll give them a check, thanks for the info you fat cock-having lad.

>>96023655
>Ultramarines
The Eldar lovers

Any third party chaos marine torsos with enough room for two sets of armoured limbs?

>>96023718
Thanks. Bitzstore is a reseller of GW bits and Elrik's Hobbies sells the Blood And Skulls upgrade kits.
Hope you find what you're looking for.

>>96023730
Best I can think of are kromlech's prime legionaries Bionic arms.
They're in resin though.
https://bitsofwar.com/prime-legionaries/261-prime-legionaries-bionic-arms.html
If Chaos Marine shoulderpads are the same size as primaris marine shoulderpads then maybe they should work.

>>96023845
If you're already on Reddit then you already can see the half dozen summaries of the drama posted there.

>>96023797
Source is from https://www.instagram.com/unwantedleg/

He might've done a few more, but he's done a lot of other things to marines. That one is a fleshcrafter or something, from his Word Bearers warband.

>>96023805
Thank god he didn't go to the Tummy Ache manufactorum. Those guys got it rough.

>>96023820
The base armour colour is "Mr Crystal Diamond Silver" and the blood is Tamiya clear red with a gloss varnish, according to the artist.

>>96023812
I don’t see how it can be any worse you underestimate the level of gratitude we dark Eldar collectors can feel, we are the forgotten child in the basement being fed table scraps.

Those are pretty fucking gooey.

>>96023477
The only Imperium forces GW has a firm grasp of are Marines and Guard
>Deathwatch
Won't let them just be Marines, won't roll them into an Inquisition faction
>Grey Knights
Won't produce proper model range, also won't roll them into an Inquisition faction
>Custodes
Basically just Terminator skew list that pays the FW tax to field an actual army
>Knights
Strictly vehicle skew and that's just stupid game design
>Sisters
Would be the third Imperial faction GW got right if they didn't cave and nerf them every time Timmy McRerolls cried about a 6 in the miracle dice pool.
>Agents
Lol, lmao even

>>96023868
Mate for the most part they just need to replace the existing resin stuff you can longer buy and all the recent Eldar refreshes have been solid and looked good, I don’t see how they can go wrong with it.

>>96023477
I think it's just some of the worst design possible for a faction which is bizarre given how easy it would be to make up their rules from their lore.

>>96023261
This rugged motherfucker.
Gonna be doing the tubes, hair, and finally the pupils. Maybe give him green eyes, and see if it'll be visible.

>>96023880

again, just wait and see and remember me

>>96023655

>>96023843
you should be guarded because those particular rumours (about new grotesques, new warrior kit and plastic tantalus) isn't from one of his usual sources and has no track record

>hive city starts a revolt
>everyone's a traitor
>tfw casualties are justified

i don't really like GW's takes on mechs but i love these lanky fuckers like you wouldn't believe

>>96023917
How about instead kill them all as the Emperor knows his loyalists?

>>96023909
Because all chaosfags in 40k are marines first and chaos second, and the same applies to the fans: they're marinefags first and chaosfags second, if at all.
They have given up on the rule of cool and the riddle of steel for homosexual daddy issues and cringeworthy anime power levels.

>>96023923
>Kill Everyone

>>96023923
>Emperor knows his Loyalists?
Well if they survive a blast from the Flamer, they deserve to see The Emperor themselves... after i'm finished with em

>>96023914
>WoC? that faction with brown overweight women now?
Technically yes. although I was meant more WHFB WoC.
But yeah, faction where actual biological women is less whinny than primarch anointed by Khorne

WOWEEE THE POWER ARMOUR FAGS ARE AT IT AGAIN

>>96023909
You mistake having a character and developed fluff for not being manly.
Warriors of Chaos have far less written about them.

>mogs your official release
All too easy...

>>96023952
>You mistake having a character and developed fluff for not being manly.
No, he definitely isn't.
>Warriors of Chaos have far less written about them.
far less shit, far more quality

>>96023952
There's literally nothing less manly than having thoughts, feelings, or character traits.

>>96023954
Did you really buy all 3 kits for this?

Should I just make all my chimera models storm chimeras via recasts and then just field them as regular chimera tanks with multi-laser turrets?

>>96023968
Not my pic, but buying bits online is cheap as nowadays.

>>96023964
>No, he definitely isn't.
He is, Warriors of Chaos are barely developed beyond the rough sketch of a Chaos-guy's path to glory.
>far less shit, far more quality
No, just far less. Take Archaon for example, he's the one character with significant development equivalent to any big Chaos character in 40k.
Turns out he can also be classified as a whiner with daddy issues and whatever other accusations you'd like to throw, because he moved beyond a vague idea and now has a character you can assassinate.

>>96023973
Thats what I do. Autocannon turret simply looks better.

>>96023845
>Now I align with Conservative and libertarian values. Some of the takes that I had are controversial. Such as I support President Trump, I disagree with abortions, I disagree with feminist ideologies, my views on voting rights, and disagreements on Dei practices.
Views on voting rights sounds pretty racist

>>96023952
>Warriors of Chaos have far less written about them.
If we measure by amount of books then you are correct.
HOWEVER
WoC have both, fallen heroes like Archaon, Festus, Aekold etc and jolly Vikings seeking Ragnarok with more different backstories than CSM characters, from Villitch to Valkia, from Harald to Wulfrik.
And not even mentionning that WoC is n't sole representative of Chaos mortals.

>>96023954
why is the body a lighter colour? is it from an older kit? thought it was resin for a second but thats usually brighter than that

>>96023256
Vertical. Visualize the way a tank drives over things. Any obstacles or vegetation the tank drives over get pushed down.

>>96023954
The poses are a bit eh. Especially the bottom right dude.

>>96023987
>His views on voting rights are that non-citizens shouldn't vote
Important context but this one leaves that out

>>96023987
So?

>>96023982
>Turns out he can also be classified as a whiner with daddy issues and whatever other accusations you'd like to throw, because he moved beyond a vague idea and now has a character you can assassinate.
Yet Archaon gets shit done, doesn't whine doesn't beg Be'Lakor to let him die
Even literal cripple like Villitch doesn't cry about his fate.

>>96024010
It's crazy to see people view that as a extremist view point. Every other country in the world demands an ID to be able to vote. Is there something in the water in the US?

>>96023982
>Warriors of Chaos are barely developed beyond the rough sketch of a Chaos-guy's path to glory.
which is far better alone than anything chaosfags in 40k got.
>Take Archaon for example
ah yes, let's take the one character ruined to hell and back by 40k fag writers.

fuck off.

>>96024022
In australia they just tick your name off on a list, no ID required.
But I guess you gotta be a citizen to be on the list anyway.

>>96023917
>>tfw casualties are justified
Okay, lol
>blasts MM with Great Crusade era WMD

>>96024014
>Yet Archaon gets shit done
He only got anything done because his game wasn't popular.
>doesn't whine
In fact he does.
>doesn't beg Be'Lakor to let him die
He did try to kill himself.
>Even literal cripple like Villitch doesn't cry about his fate.
Yes he does, which is how he ended up like he is. He espeically cries about his fate when you take the End Times into account.

>>96024029
I guess but feels a bit precarious system. I'd still put IDs as mandatory.

>>96024024
>which is far better alone than anything chaosfags in 40k got.
>ah yes, let's take the one character ruined to hell and back by 40k fag writers.
That's the point, retard. They're not "manly" they just not developed to the same extent.

>>96024029
only works here because no one could be fucked going to another place to vote again

>>96024031
Look at ye. Wasting WMD's on an Angel of Death. You're a disgrace to the imperium

>>96024022
Yes, but it's antisemitic to talk about it.

>>96023954
does combing parts from different kits count as kitbashing if they're all designed to fit together?

>>96024045
>That's the point, retard. They're not "manly" they just not developed to the same extent.
Your argument is that the man who's never sucked cocks is just as gay as the man who sucked hundreds of cocks.

Do you realise that?

>>96024033
>He only got anything done because his game wasn't popular.
Even before ET he accomplished much more than Abaddon (at least because Everchosen title needs to earned by deeds)
>He did try to kill himself.
So he didn't ask someone to get job done for him
>Yes he does, which is how he ended up like he is. He espeically cries about his fate when you take the End Times into account.
Both false.
1) Villitch never begged to end his cripple life he manage to become shaman's apprentice and prayed to Tzeentch for better fate
2) Even in the End Times he accepts his end when Thomin strikes his own deal with Tzeentch

GW I am once again asking for gravis veterans.

how fuckin hard is it to get access to ID to vote? how the fuck is that racist?

>>96024055
No, that's not the argument at all. You're mistaking a void for manliness.

>>96023987
>autist actually thinks the alphabet mafia argues in good faith
Guy doesn't even realize sociopolitcs were only a pretense to try and seize control of his discord. It's only ever about bullying with these people. They're bitter perpetual victims looking to take it out on everyone they can.

>>96024065
we dont care marinefag fuck off

>>96024065
Instructions unclear, releasing another primaris lieutenant

>>96024071
No, I'm not, I'm saying the chaos marines are fucking gay shit and the chaos warriors are not. This is undeniable.

>>96024057
>because Everchosen title needs to earned by deeds
So does Warmaster.
>1) Villitch never begged to end his cripple life he manage to become shaman's apprentice and prayed to Tzeentch for better fate
Yes, he cried about his fate and begged Tzeentch for a better one.
>2) Even in the End Times he accepts his end when Thomin strikes his own deal with Tzeentch
No he doesn't. He is shocked and horrified that his brother managed to turn th tables on him.

>>96024068
>how fuckin hard is it to get access to ID to vote?
It isn't, not even in the US.
>how the fuck is that racist?
It's not, but "you know who" think black people are too stupid to get an ID or figure out where to get one.

>>96024071
>void
>let's ignore all source material only because it doesn't have 10+ ADB novels

>>96024086
>So does Warmaster.
Actually nope
>Yes, he cried about his fate and begged Tzeentch for a better one.
So he wanted to live didn't beg Tzeentch to end him like Morty and Angron

I’m not going to contribute to the thread, instead I’m gonna link a Japanese shitpost.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=oFmUk3gGMB0

>>96024068
If drumpf really is a facist dictator that wants to genocide all the hecking browns and lgbtqia2s*bbws then wouldn't attempting to rig an election be the right thing to do?

>>96024088
Yes, a void. The source material doesn't develop much of anything to any great degree. When things do develop, like with Archaon, you get something very much like the 40k characters.

>>96024107
>The source material doesn't develop much of anything to any great degree.
Because..?

>>96024094
>Actually nope
Actually yes.
>So he wanted to live didn't beg Tzeentch to end him like Morty and Angron
Yeah, he wasn't so tormented as either of them either. He didn't do anything by himself, just whined.

>>96024107
isn't there a scene in the Archaon book where he is in a sigmarite temple and screeching and crying at Sigmar to answer his prayers. How come these guys who are calling CSM gay don't have an opinion about this??

>>96023389
I prefer the first version desu. more body horror-esque

>>96024099
Should’ve specified the shitpost is about the thousand sons

>>96024118
Because Warhammer Fantasy isn't as popular as Warhammer 40,000.

>>96023995
They're the Tortuga Bay release.
Classic style torsos with ball joint legs so you can swap them around easily.

>>96023896
I will and will post here when you are wrong

>>96024120
>Actually yes.
Actually nope. Before ADB none never mentioned Abaddon deeds in order to become Warmaster. In Codexes it's always was presented as succession line after Horus death
>Yeah, he wasn't so tormented as either of them either.
He was a mere mortal, unlike them
>He didn't do anything by himself, just whined.
But quite opposite. He quickly jumped into action once his wish was fullfilled.

>>96024126
And..?

>>96024065
i think gravis sucks!

>>96024121
>How come these guys who are calling CSM gay don't have an opinion about this??
Because it's different situations.
Archaon wasn't the firstborn Sigmar's son who jumped the ship just because Daddy was mean to him

>>96024136
>Actually nope. Before ADB none never mentioned Abaddon deeds in order to become Warmaster.
He always formed the Black Legion and brought the other legions into line.
>He was a mere mortal, unlike them
So? Can any creature in pain not just want to die?
>But quite opposite.
No, not at all.

>>96024141
And nothing. That's all there is to it.

>>96024152
So you're saying crying like a bitch because your god doesn't answer your prayers is not only manly but also a justified reason for turning to Chaos?

>>96024173

>>>/pol/

>>96024131
>>96023896
NTA but I already own every Dark Eldar model since 5th edition and I have been largely happy with every update since, with certain characters excepted. If they release new model I don't like, I just won't buy them. If they release new units with new rules and I don't like them, I will happily kitbash my own from the massive bits collection I have amassed. And if the release new models I do like, I will gladly purchase multiples of every kit they release.
There is no situation where new model releases for this starving faction is worse for me than it continuing to dwindle and losing more and more rules for sculpts I already own.

I don't have a reaction image that can cover my frustration about this.

The WarmaHordes community is so waacfag even in casual games and your chances of running into as the kids say: "sweatlords" that I assume are worse than waacfags are way higher in WarmaHordes than in 40k.
I remember seeing newcomers to WarmaHordes excited to get games in on the cheaper than Citadel models only to get rule-legally wrecked in the first turn and they just give up and go to 40k because of the kind of players they have to deal with on the WarmaHordes side.
Then their WarmaHorde models turn up in the used army deals section of the LGS.
The WarmaHordes community is obnoxious when you point out these problems with its community and I get the same impressions with Trench Crusade fanboys every time I even suggest a concern about faults in the game or lore that I hope get fixed.
It is like these animals made these games their personality and identity and their brains interpret even honest criticism as a physical attack on their very existence.

I don't care if they call it gatekeeping. If walking away from a sweaty obnoxious community to avoid their bullshit is being gatekept then I wholeheartedly welcome the labeling and terms.
Somehow 40k (in my LGS community) is more chill in casual games than WarmaHordes even in tournaments where the Waacfaggery is much higher.

In my case it is mediocrity.
I've stalled making an army for too long and I need to batch paint the soldiers and then rush out the vehicles.
I plan to at least do some chipping and washes though.

Is Pro Acryl's dark bronze a good contrasting colour to a "medium slightly bluish grey" color? Or should I stick with Pro Acryl's Dark Silver for the treads?

The Youtube rumor guy says a Exodite Kill Team is coming down the pipe and I gotta be honest that would kill me. I would buy two and then spend like three years waiting for GW to expand it in to a full army and when they did it would be a subfaction of Aeldari that technically can be run as an army by itself but practically is meant to be like 500 pts in a larger Aeldari army, but I would try to make it work anyway

>>96024204
This has always been a vehicle spam edition. GW only cares about selling models.

>>96023261

>>96024319

>>96024479
Accurate, but if GW is smart, they make exodites just condiment for the wraithknights subfaction of the army, so you don't need that many dino kits and can cover all your army's needs with big robots, all while staying lore accurate to exodites.

Still waiting for traitor guard to be a full army after its release

>>96024516
the entire appeal of Exodites is elfs on Dinosaurs. If GW made an Exodite subfaction that was mostly Wraith stuff, then why make an Exodite subfaction at all?

They wouldn't actually need that many kits at all, especially if their base infantry was released first as a Kill Team, and double especially if they did like the Corsairs where their elite infantry is just the Kill Team with all the options.

They could literally just do that picture. Light dino cav, heavy dino cav, one big monster (ideally dualbuilt as a character on big monster) pteradon (ideally dualbuild as character on pteradon) and a couple foot heroes.

That's less than what the Seraphon in AoS got in their big refresh a couple years back. And it would be good enough for a full 2,000pts of Exodites, assuming the rules aren't complete dogshit.

>>96024204
thats been the entire edition regardless of how well knights are doing
the first year of tier lists was just "this army kills vehicle so its great, this army can't kill vehicles so its shit, this army can't kill vehicle but also can't be killed by vehicle when its t-posing on the objective so its mid tier"

exodites will be a kill team and maybe a couple units for one of the other elf books if they feel nice

>>96024578
>subfaction that was mostly Wraith stuff
points wise, not kits wise, the one wraithknight added to a new knight (bright stallion) and updated war walkers (canonically knight pilots in training) would be more than enough
exodites were characterised in epic as using eldar knights for herding their dinos, having fuckhuge robots is an integral part of their culture, and anchoring the subfaction around these big centerpieces would prevent the army from having the mentioned problems at being a functional army by itself with just 2-3 kits of actual dino riders.

>>96023558
Where is the cock?

What's a unit you'd think would be a good addition for your army?
I want Ork Destroyers. Stormboyz who've been handed the local Mek's experiments that cause the most collateral damage and tasked with jumping headfirst into the enemy with them.
Attached is a rough draft of the concept.

>>96024648
I would be so disappointed if they wasted release slots in the theoretical Exodite launch of updating a regular ass Aeldari kit.

And the new army being basically reliant on running a Wraithknight would suck too. The centerpiece model of a faction should embody that faction. Not be a 15 year old kit from a different subfaction in the same book.

>>96024672
Or we could just get a mek deffkopta that could give a keyword to a unit of deffkoptas allowing them to give out mortal wounds outside of flying over a unit

>>96024692
that'd also be pretty cool

So like, dirt poor admech/darkmech or even other astartes chapters would scavange the armour of dead space marines if they knew about it right? Like you see a pile of like a hundred dead astartes you are going to strip their corpses to use the material, right? I feel like armour being stripped from the dead isn't talked about enough

My models apparently arriving tomorrow or the day after according to my tracking.

I am already getting jitters. Changed "the plan" a little during shipping twice. Considered getting more to flesh out more unit types.

It's all getting converted. Every... Model.
I prefer cutting and gluing over paint brushes. No idea what paint scheme I'll be using for the tyranids. I'll be doing deathwatch for the terminators thanks to some dudes in previous threads.

so warmachine was just fantasy battle?

I am so fucking unhappy with them removing Wolf Scouts from the new SW dex. I've been playing Wolves since 3rd edition, and Wolf Scouts are my all time favorite unit in my army. Without fail, every time I field them, they always make back or quadruple their point cost in value thanks to their infiltration rules.

>Enemy has parking lot of tanks?
Wolf Scouts with melta bombs and plasma pistols

>Enemy has long range unit firing on my position?
Wolf Scouts can hold their own in a charge and lock down the enemy unit for a couple turns, negating their fire.

Fucking LOVED my Wolf Scouts. Apparently now you can only take "regular" scouts without our cool rules. Fucking bullshit.

uhmm..

so you know that the starter set models are monopose/ETB right? its a lot harder to kitbash them than other models.

>>96024785
>>96024713
>Happens all the time, if the chapter is destitute enough.
Does this technically mean that the space wolves are being visually communicated as destitute that they are jury rigging firstborn armor marks with primaris marks?
I don't think Fenris is even in the Nihilus. I'd like to think that they're doing that because they maintain legion structure and keeping a whole legion supplied is difficult so they dipped into their other power armor mark reserves.

Still I think that chapters based in the Nihilus should have this kind of aesthetic going on for them to visually communicate that supply lines are often cut or in flux in whether they are working or not.


I answered a TQ about a concept a while back called "scruff companies" where essentially the guard regiment is under-supplied so it creates a less uniform "scuffy" regiment as distributed gear is not equal. Basically same thing but with space marines in the Nihilus.

What's everyone think of the new Valrak rumors? Totally bogus or possibly legit?

>>96024829
Nah, I'd assume SW's do it more because of legacy of their armor pieces. That and the wolves DID get decimated down to like 300 marines or so by a TKsons invasion before Guilliman dropped them some Primaris, so they've got tons of extra early mark armor pieces sitting about.

You know, from the dead.

>>96024851
You could not make me care for eldar unless they were in a starter.

>>96024851
what's his hit rate. like how often is he correct.

>>96024713
salvage is definitely important, but they also definitely repaint and redistribute the arms & armor "correctly"

>>96024853
>That and the wolves DID get decimated down to like 300 marines or so by a TKsons invasion before Guilliman dropped them some Primaris
I was not aware of this piece of lore. Thank you, and my bad, anon.

Do you still think there is genuine novelty to the idea of under-supplied space marine chapters in the Dark Imperium forced to jury rig previous marks of power armor to their primaris gifts to keep themselves somewhat fully prepared for the horrors of the Nihilus?

>>96024862
8/10

>>96024829
IIRC the Fang has its own production facilities to take care of most of the basic stuff like armor and guns. It was built in the pre-Heresy era to make the old legion self-sufficient. Putting together a new strike cruiser in their cellar might be a tall order, but plating and chainswords aren't.

>>96024851
See, this is one of the problems of second hand reports of what someone has said.

Unlike with other rumors he specified that the dark eldar ones come from a new source with zero track record, in practice it means the tantalus is bullshit.

>>96024873
Fair enough.
The Space Wolves kit showing a mixture of different armor patterns was a bit inspirational and I was just brainstorming ideas.
You see I have a guard army and I am debating about starting a chaos guard army after finishing the loyal one or starting a space marine army.
Though I'll be honest. I think mixing up HH and Primaris stuff beyond just headswaps seems like a daunting and expensive task.
Then there's homebrewing how somehow this chapter has loads of HH era power armor just lying about.

>>96024896
Same, our first box.

>>96024869
There is novelty to the idea and I’d be surprised that gw hasn’t got some canon chapters like this in the bl books.

>>96024128

I don't know if it's "novel" anymore. For many in Nihlus, it may just be a new fact of life.

>>96024829
>Does this technically mean that the space wolves are being visually communicated as destitute
No.
Space Wolves are just hardcore traditionalists, they don't mind the new gear they got, but they will still use the old shit because they have it.
Kind of like how even modern armies which are supposed to be "standardized" and "modernized" for the most part. But there's still guns from like the fucking 60s in use and service because they just function well.

>>96024824
I like cutting and reposing things. And adding.

There will be no kitbashing.

For example; this snake body I intend to make will be starting with a PVC pipe, heated with a heat gun (look up forming PVC Bows). Using a bent bundle of wires shoved inside to keep the curve. I'll cut that when it settles, and I'll be using aluminum wire(cheap af) to be the exterior, since the PVC pipe is meant to be the frame holding the weight. The aluminum wires that extend as the under-skin will be the whole tail. I'll be cutting one wire every 2 inches so it makes it thinner towards the end.

After the wire/pipe and such is done, I'll be using filler to cover the wire where little ripples in the skin going the length of the tail is visible. This will be similar looking to the ribcages of the usual tyranid model but going vertical, and be MUCH better looking than what currently "GW thinks Tyranid snake bodies look". Raveners/HYper adapted raveners/Trygons/Mawlocks I'll be doing will have a unified look to them.

All of my 12 big critters will have a similar face, looking like the same themed army instead of a bunch of off-being looking monsters you show a random person that knows nothing about Tyranids would assume is from a different faction. Show a carnifex and a mawlock to a stranger that's unpainted and they'll bet against them being from the same army.
>spinning around the tentacles of the mouth is ezpz, just cut fine across and spin, supported with an internal pin/nob

I like converting. Did it for hundreds of models back in 3rd/4th.

>>96024862
He's correct more often than not.
These seem accurate and believable considering it's Valrak saying it, but this does somewhat reflect what we know GW does.

>Eldar Knight war-machines were brought from the Aeldari Dominion during the Exodus to help the new Exodite colonies on Maiden Worlds to herd Megasaurs and to help to survive against the hostile and grim conditions they faced. Since The Coming of Men during the Dark Age of Technology, Eldar Knights have been deployed through Webway portals to raid the herds of the Knight Worlds (herds humans learned to care for from observing the Eldar during the Age of Strife) and defend against mankind's further expansion.

>Much like Imperial Knight Houses, Eldar Knights are divided into knightly Clans, aristocratic rulers who earn their rights through battle. It is the duty of the clan to defend their planet, as well as other planets in their system connected by the webway, from harm.

>The majority of Eldar Knights are decorated with brass accents, to show their status as a fledged knight having slain at least one opponent. Those who have yet to acheive this status are gilded with gold accents. The highest status, only acheived through legendary heroics, is that of the Lords whose silvered knights entitle them to begin a clan of their own.

what we need is more chadstodes with +2 feel no pain, that's what timmies will like im sure

>>96025388
They fucked up shields and kroxigors, but not by much.

>>96025370
GW isn't going to release Exodites as basically filler you run around a Wraithknight. That is obviously stupid.

The old Epic lore was written to justify running Exodites in with regular Craftworld models. If GW does do Exodites as a new subfaction in 40k, they will write lore to justify running mixed armies, but also lore about running all Exodite armies, because they know a lot of people will want to do that.

>>96025416
>>Next week is hereshit

>>96025443
>instantly jumps to insults and strawmans
lmao, you own no models

>>96025424
>That is obviously stupid.
It's unlikely, but it would be the most ideal solution for them, the more likely scenario otherwise is that they end up like kroots: a few small kits and not enough unit variety to run an army that can stand on its own legs, despite technically being allowed to play them alone
>The old Epic lore was written to justify running Exodites in with regular Craftworld models
nah, old epic lore had nothing to do with dragon knights in the normal codex, they established eldar knights were from exodites for the same reason they made imperial knights come from primitive 'feudal' worlds, because they wanted to evoke medieval chivalric themes
>they will write lore to justify running mixed armies, but also lore about running all Exodite armies
what I proposed doesn't prevent either scenario

they should make more tyranids that are obviously literally just dinosaurs but with an exoskeleton coat of paint
faction has skewed too insectoid

>>96025445
thats for 12th, in 11th you can expect latina Sisters of Silence with H-size cup

>>96025442
They've got weird barrel-chested proportions, the heads are somewhat draconic and they got dumb backsides.
it's minor gripes, but gripes nonetheless. the third party market is full of alternatives anyway.

>>96025464

>>96025460
>faction has skewed too insectoid
literally just the 'vores and psychofag.

>>96025455
>makes the claim without posting any
no surer sign of a nomodels

>>96025478
That's 3 nids too many.

>>96025480
you are just arguing with yourself again

>>96025472
Kroxigors are some of the only gw kits that I've never liked a 3rd party version of them. The exception is the woogity krox, but they're fairly hard to come by, he didn't cast many of them

>>96025472
They should add dragons to lizardmen.

>>96025424
>>96025456

exodites will get a kill team and you will be happy you got that crumb. multiple exodite kits is too based to exist.

>>96025480
Nta but is calling someone a secondary realistically any different than calling someone a nomodels. I thought they were synonymous

>>96025487
Fuck no, all my brothers from the other waters hate dragons.

>>96025487
They should add baggy pants and cool sneakers to killa kans

40k should abandon chaos as the main antagonists of the setting and do Humans versus Eldar as the new focus. Full Eldar armies with multiple codexes. Craftworld, Corsairs, Drukhari, Harlequins, Exodites just to start. There should be as many Eldar armies as chaos and imperium combined.

>>96025180
Prefall Eldar had a warrior-slave caste made up of half-born clones. Vect is from before the fall and he was one of them.

>>96025494
>all my brothers from the other waters
You will never be a real reptile. You have no eggs with shells, you have no amniotic fluid within the egss. You are an amphibian twisted by magic into a crude mockery of this nature's perfection.

>>96025504
>40k should abandon chaos as the main antagonists of the setting
correct, it should be orks
and orks should also be the main protagonists of the setting

and orks should get a wave of models for freebooters and a wave of of models for orks in military uniforms

>>96025493
that guy is just shitposting, do not engage

>>96025456
>what I proposed doesn't prevent either scenario
Yeah it does, you're proposing an Exodite release based on the idea that you will run them with a Wraithknight. Because that's what the old Epic lore says.

I am proposing that if GW does Exodites, they will do them as something that can be run as their own army first. Which means a larger release and some strong anti-tank.

My idea makes way more business sense. Exodites have a different appeal than Craftworld Eldar. They will attract a different audience who want to run Exodites, not Aeldari soup. People will hear Exodites and get excited but if they find out that no, you really do need a Wraithknight, the army is built around taking a Wraithknight and there are no big damage dealing dinos in the elfs on dinos faction, they'll just walk away.

You're also missing the business motivations behind big centerpiece models. Not only do they sell well by themselves, they also serve to sell their faction. Mortarion sells Death Guard, The Void Dragon sells Necrons, Carnifexes sell Tyranids. A Wraithknight sells Eldar, it doesn't sell Exodites. A big dinosaur would sell Exodites.

>>96025520
Okay, a middle ground. Delete all marine armies and and we get elves versus orks forever.

>>96025536
Deleting Marines would open up a lot of space for Votann to expand into. With the classic fantasy triad given it's rightful place of prominence, 40k would enter a new golden age

>>96025546
A new golden age of bankruptcy

>>96025546
>>96025536
you will live in a human fighter male's world whether you want it or not.

>>96025546
>With the classic fantasy triad
Wrong, it's a classic fantasy quartet, knights/paladins, dwarves, elves and orcs.
Marines are necessary

Ive never seen anyone use the 28mm scale avatar (the smaller one) it would definitely make a cool aurtarch proxy

>>96025504
Eldars main antagonist is chaos as well so no real way to do that sensical (also chaos marines is second most favourite faction after loyalist SM ... so just monetarisation is right on point i guess.)

space dino army sounds really stupid even dumber than usual 40k derpshit

>>96025472
Skinks seem to like them.

I just witnessed a Worldeaters Helbrute with two fists charging into three tanks and fighting 4 times and destroying them.

>>96025565
Yeah, Grey Knights are necessary. The rest of them we can lose

>>96025615
wait, World Eaters get Helbrutes?

>>96025525
>with a Wraithknight
no, I said with wraithknightS, plural, one is the current one, the other would be the bright stallion, the more fitting one to be placed alongside their dinosaurs, visually speaking, and which can be both something that's proprietary theirs and something that can be run alongside other craftworld eldar units without too much visual clash, as a huge sauropod would cause, instead.

the wave I propose is
>bright stallion
>updated war walker
>raptor riders (lance and helmet/rifle and hood)
>triceratops platform (antitank gun/antiinfantry gun/shield generator)
>big trex monster (2 riders/hero rider/warlock rider)
>raptor rider hero
>pterosaur rider lone agent
>bonesinger on foot (actually surfs around)
this way they get everything and cover everything, can supplement more wraithknights or rangers on foot from the rest of the eldar roster and their inclusion into eldar isn't as traumatic and atonal as it would otherwise be

it's literally the best case scenario short of expecting an unreasonably larger amount of kits

>>96025632
I can only imagine they wanted Noise Marines to be the main ranged unit people used and couldn't balance any of the others around the point costs they gave noise marines so they just axed them from the codex
still incredibly weird...

>>96025615
>fighting 4 times
How come?

>>96025442
as someone whose never touched fantasy and has played 2 total war games
them not looking like crocodiles is pretty gay
new models are bordering on furry porn looking

>>96025637
Wait this doesn't make any sense to me. You are including big dinosaurs, you have the big triceratops with the big gun, you have the big T-Rex presumably with big melee. You have a list there that can be run as a standalone army.

So why are you insisting on a Wraithknight? What does that gain them?

You say they can't have a big Sauropod because that would clash with the rest of the Eldar range, but then you make a list that is it's own separate army. So why does the Sauropod clashing with Storm Guardians matter? You won't be running it with Storm Guardians, you'll be running it with Exodites.

>>96025673
It has the rule that Blood Angels Death Company Dread has and Space Wolve's Murderfang had until the codex, that it gets to fight or shoot immediately after an enemy fights or shoots into it, with no limit. So if it chains up a bunch of different enemies, they can't just not fight it. So it takes some hits, wipes whatever it's in contact with, consolidates into the next unit.
I've used this trick with Murderfang to kill a Rogal Dorn, 3 Leman Russes, a squad of Sentinels and Lord Solar Leontus in one fight phase. After that, I understand why they nerfed him. Even if I'm salty about it.

>>96025673

Chaos never really got cooler after this point. They might as well have stopped trying.

There's nothing chaotic about NuChaos and their ethnically diverse Khorne women that the World Eaters somehow don't eat.

>>96025700
Why would you eat women? That's how you get cooties.

>>96025685
>So why are you insisting on a Wraithknight? What does that gain them?
An actual big thing, the trex or a triceratops can't possibly be that big, while the sauropod would be way too clashing with the rest of the eldar.

>So why does the Sauropod clashing with Storm Guardians matter?
because the pieces have to fit also alongside the rest of the eldar, not just alone.

I currently have a Canis Rex, Lancer, Castellan, and 6 Armigers. A guy nearby is selling unpainted Questoris frames for $80 each. If I drop a couple Armigers, which Questoris knight should I build? Armigers are kinda boring, so yeah.

>>96025733
>An actual big thing, the trex or a triceratops can't possibly be that big, while the sauropod would be way too clashing with the rest of the eldar.
The army doesn't need a Knight sized unit, a lot of armies don't have one and are fine. But if Exodites get one it should be a dinosaur
>because the pieces have to fit also alongside the rest of the eldar, not just alone.
This doesn't make sense. You'r imagining that Exodites on raptors will look perfectly normal next to Storm Guardians, a big T-Rex won't look out of place next to a Fire Prism, but a big sauropod wouldn't work?
The Exodites are going to have a different aesthetic from Craftworld Eldar, that's guaranteed. They will share design cues, but any Exodite model will look at least a little odd stuck in a Craftworld army. The come from a very different culture and many of them will be riding dinosaurs.

What is the model with the most ridiculous pose and why is it this guy?

How do you subtly and politely signal to a fellow modelposting anon that you use this shithole /40kg/ general and like his models?
Not gonna name who he is I ran into. I struck up a convo with a random guy and the discussion veered into models, and he showed me his models, and it took every fibre of my body to not bring up this website when I saw and recognized his models.
He was also very polite.
Has this scenario ever happened to anyone?

>>96025922
You should have said you saw similar models online and see if he talks about the siite himself or not.

>>96025922
>How do you subtly and politely signal to a fellow modelposting anon that you use this shithole /40kg/ general and like his models?
"Remember Ben?"

>>96025825
>You'r imagining that Exodites on raptors will look perfectly normal next to Storm Guardians, a big T-Rex won't look out of place next to a Fire Prism, but a big sauropod wouldn't work?
correct, because size matters:
unlike many other armies eldar are built with a very heterogeneous element in the aspect warriors, which allow a great variety of silhouettes and colour schemes within the same force, as well as the presence of harlequins, what makes that heterogeneity work is that the baseline level (guardians, bikers and weapon platforms) and the upper level (tanks, flyers, titans) are homogeneous, unlike the elite aspects in the middle, which get comfortably framed.
So exodites will look at home as long as they're in balance within that framed area and don't present stuff too big (sauropod) or stuff too small (basic infantry) which would then break the framework of the eldar aesthetic on the ground, making it look like two different armies instead of one army with a rainbow of stuff in the middle.
the trex and triceratops are already pushing it, but they won't break it as long as they don't get made too big, they have to be smaller than the wave serpent, I'd say, which shouldn't be difficult.

>>96025922
He's as much as an autist as you are, just say hi and tell him you saw his models online wink wink, maybe you can become friends

>>96025944

I agree. It is just the reputation of this website that means it is best to keep things covert.

not watching a slop video, but its true. GW completely wrote out act problematic elements of the series like commissars blaming people constantly or inquisitors being genocidal freaks or sisters burning children for not being taught their prayers and made it into star wars.

there is no darkness anymore. just good guys like titus and guilliman getting endless rounds of applause as they squish bad guys.

>>96026057

>Outdated rules
this one is funny because arguably the rules ARE too fresh. They change every few months, someitmes GW drops new detachments, more or less every army gets buffed into viability, and nothing is OP for more than a few months at a time

>>96026219
IGOUGO is pretty outdated to be honest.
I skimmed the video and missed a lot.

Being a skinflint poorfag makes you better at conversions and kitbashes.

just lost a game today because I needed a 6 on the charge and rolled a 3 then a 4

>>96026227
Igougo is not outdated warhammer is too boggy and has too many units for it. The game functions with igougo, many faction abilities rely on it.

HOW

>>96026446
Youtuber didn't really elaborate on that side of the 40k community that much beyond just saying it is there so I guess he went for the "listen and believe" angle.
There's always going to be bad apples. Warhammer 40k fans just seem to actively look for them to get mad at them when they find some after looking hard enough.

why have they never made pic related as a model just a fire warrior kneeling on a pile of skulls. would be a sick model

man imagine being dark eldar fan in 00s, waiting 12 fucking years for new codex where even sobs were getting pity white dwarf updates

>>96025676
They've got a build option that makes them more croccy

>>96026496
It was pretty awful but the 5th edition codex and range refresh was worth the wait.

>>96026484
Not that hard to make. They did make a conversion guide in a WD, but it was basically a fire warrior with a rail rifle and a death cult assassin's sword.

>>96026411
>Brown elves with white hair
Yes please.

>>96026411
If they release exodites i'll eat my own shit.

>>96026165
They're both around 60% fact 40% opinion. I think the positivity one makes a good point that the community is healthier these days, but I think he was underplaying how big Warhammer has been in history (particularly if you're British where it's basically the thing every "nerd" did).
