Lore wise I’d like the Severan Dominate to be expanded on so long as they’re still out there in the calixis sector refusing chaos and the imperium.

Model wise I think there are more pressing matters like gw is supposed to update the catachans.

Hnnnng reposting muh space Romans again.
Debating about giving the handles of their sheathed bayonets a gray or brown paintjob.

EXO DITES

First stripping of a resin model was a success. I can’t complain if the details are a little smudged, I paid not even 50 cents for him.

>>96076547
3d printed resin? What did you use to strip them? I’ve got some resin models I want to strip but I’m afraid of destroying detail.

>>96076350 (OP)
as cool as Exodites would be, I think deathwatch, grey knights, custodes, genestealer cults, votann, emperor's children, and world eaters all should get some extra model love before we introduce more factions to the tabletop. I think all of these armies are using the same 3-5 models kits multiple times to make any sort of functional 2k point list. GSC in particular needs something other than another goddamn monopose character.

for as few kits as they contain, I really would not be opposed to deathwatch and grey knights being soft squatted into a refocused inquisition army.

>>96076547
>>96076549

nta but i've found that forgeworld resin survives a strip with no issues. 3d print resin can survive an ISO strip if its brief, but superclean eats it alive (actually kinda turns it into gummy bear consistency)

>>96076549
I just used isopropyl alcohol. I was reading that on resin you wanna only soak it for the minimum times in the liquid (30min-1hr) and scrub with a toothbrush. The shit prime job the last guy did came off fine, but will have to do some scraping in some of the details. There’s apparently better substances to do it with, but those seem quite expensive unless you’re batch stripping.

Lol, all the HH histrionics were for nothing

>>96076587
They really should do a Forces of Fantasy/Ravening Hordes thing. Like maybe a bolk with legal units for matched play, and a book for everything for narrative games and the like.

>>96076587
>>96076592
Someone called this three year codex cycle a churn and burn cycle. I think such a phrase should be more commonly used. Wouldn’t mind if redditors picked up on it too.

>>Thread Question:
>What smaller factions or micro-factions would you like to see expanded upon more in lore or models?
Imperial Knights.

Its Bretons in space, so i get it big robot is the horse knight but where are the peasant archers?

>>96076607
I don't think GW should be obligated to support units that never had a kit

>>96076607
so when Votan get the new codex they get imidatly fuckt because a new edition drops?

>>96076350 (OP)
>What smaller factions or micro-factions would you like to see expanded upon more in lore or models?
Arbites and the Naval assets like breachers.

Like just give them an HQ and some other unit

>>96076636
Not as bad this time because 11th won't be another index edition. Votann won't be the last codex either so they will get about 9 months

"I'M WORKING ON IT!" -Chris Chan

>>96076727
My apologies got tricked by ESL.

>The touch of humanity was on the warp, as it was on the materium. Men were everywhere. They infested everything. Only the orks were more numerous. Man’s pollution tainted the warp. Natasé recalled the legends of the times before the War in Heaven, when the warp was pristine, and benevolent. It was not humanity’s fault that it had become what it had become. The beings that had moulded his forefathers and the necrontyr bore responsibility for that, but humanity had agitated it, made it worse– far, far worse. Of all the many races that had risen and fallen in the long spans of the aeons, humanity held the key to the end, or a new beginning. They were the fulcrum upon which the fate of the universe balanced. Tip them one way, and all would fall; tip them another, and his people, all people, might be saved. This was the role of the farseer, to look ahead,to change things that were yet to be before they flashed through the now tobecome things that were, and therefore immutable. To pick the best path through the braided possibilities of the future. The tenuous, thread-thin path to survival.

>>96076747
The sad irony is Chris could've made a deal to sell T-shirts or memorabilia of him/her/idunno and it'd be both profitable and minimal effort.

>>96076764
So yes, The Necrontyr were made by the Old ones, who left them alone, for then one of the C'tan to them stumble upon there star, eat it and cause the necrontyr to become what they were, only to then discover the old ones again there makers, who then refused to restore there bodies since they assumed it was because of natural evolution after they left them alone to develop in peace unaware of the C'tan literally eating there sun.

My dudes, its now confirmed that everything is at the fault of the Deceiver and the C'tan for literally everything that could go wrong in 40k. They should all have been killed rather then broken up in that case damn the consequences.

>>96076833
That's not what that excerpt says.
>The beings that had moulded his forefathers and the necrontyr bore responsibility for that
This doesn't say the old ones molded both the eldar and the necrontyr. It says both the old ones and necrontyr bear responsibility for the state of the warp and humanity's predicament.

Hmm...if Orks are more numerous than humans, then how come humanity has more influence on the Warp?

>>96076862
orks dont bleed

>>96076502
Keep it up. Glad to see you working on them buddy.

>>96076851
Shouldn't there be a comma there?

>>96076851
Nah, if that were the case, then the sentence wouldn't include both the Eldar species and the necrons within the same sentence as being created under the Old ones. Truthfully its a game of semantics since they only way you can argue this isn't the case, is if there is a missing Comma that should be there, but isn't because that one singular sentence, which anyone, Author or Editorial team, would have read and noticed, didn't somehow decide to not consciously keep it there because they overlooked it for some reason? yeah, it reads like the Necrontyr were made by the old ones from that sentence in every other world but that one which I just outlined.

THIS GENERAL IS SO FUCKING DEAD HOLY SHIT

>>96077028
Post your models then

>>96076927
Seems like an awfully ambiguous way to introduce some pretty important world building. Not to mention, I seem to recall Trazyn stating the Necrontyr were a product of natural evolution in the Infinite and the Divine.

>>96077028
It is what it is

>>96076862
Hmm...if killa kans are stronger than humans, then how come humanity has more baggy jeans and sneakers?

>>96076870
Space marines don't have bones

>>96076862

>>96077125
I thought the things removed from hh were all stuff without models. Sos have models

I wish 40k will take notes on hh now, especially now after its all been leaked.

Post fat imperial tits and asses

>>96077210
Aye captain

>>96077195
Nothing's getting removed

Where does coomerposting fit in on this? Somewhere in the middle?

Thoughts on Black Templars? Worth getting into?

>>96077230
Average fatguy

>>96077028
Played some quick 500pt games with improved terrain and no secondaries (just 1, 2, more-than-you scoring). Every model mattered in the end. It was really silly and fun and people should try it if they are burnt out on complexity.

>>96077210
I got you king

>>96077259
Sovl

>>96077235
Do you like knights. If yes then it's a good choice

Just a quick reminder about the monthly collage.
This month's theme is elite squad. Now, elites are not really a thing anymore but you can find out which units were elites in 9th with a quick look at wahapedia :
https://wahapedia.ru/wh40k9ed/the-rules/playing-this-game/
Still, if you would submit a squad of eldar aspect warriors or some space marine unit or something that look elite and feel elite to you but were heavy support or fast attack in 9th I won't reject it. The most important thing is that it is a squad of your toughest, hardest dudes.
Voting for the next theme will run the last 7 days of the month and end the same time as the submission deadline, midnight the 31st est.
If you have any suggestions for next month's theme feel free to share it here and I'll add it to the poll

>>96077235
I really don’t like this model

>>96077282
I don't mind it, just needs a headswap

>>96077259
Beautiful... just beautiful.

>>96077283
That's a cool picture of yoda, do you mind if I save it?

>>96077279
got one squad done, though I might try get another done before the deadline so I have a choice of what to put up
>If you have any suggestions for next month's theme feel free to share it here and I'll add it to the poll
something from an army you dont collect maybe?

>>96077282
its fine but it barely even looks like a sergeant. definitely not blinged out enough for a BT character, hell its less blinged out than a sword brethren. too austere and plain for BT. would be fine for like blood angels or ultramarines or something

but like, no cape, only a single purity seal on the whole model, actually no eagle or cross on teh chestplate, just bare metal, pauldrons are only single layer (most of the BT sgts and characters are double layer), skull has no cross on it, belt is completely unadorned with any filigree, rosaries, or reliquiaries whatsoever.

like jesus christ in the 41st millenium, get these designers a fucking bits box to play with, i know they have the parts.

they really need some perspective, black templars are the chapter where the unit infantry looks like this.

>>96076927
>>96077078
It makes no sense then why the Old Ones didn't cure the Necrontyr.

>>96077338
>pretending blood angels are less blinged out than black templars
so this is the power of a secondary

>>96077362
If we're talking about models then I'd agree with him

>>96077362
blood angels havent been blinged out since they discontinued the late 00s firstborn kits. the new stuff is barren except the occasional blood drop.

>>96077346
because everyone in that conflict was acting like a nigger resulting in a mutually assured chimpout

>>96077387
cope

>>96076862
I remember another anon saying Khorne has Orkish facial features

>>96077400
he has canine features because he's a furry
it's also why the khornate marines have such a close tie with the dark mech who all have furry legs

>>96077395
literally not 40k. if you have to resort to HH exclusive webstore only resin single blister heroes to prove your point, i think i've already won

>>96077395
That's for a different game

>>96077406
>>96077409
>d-doesn't count
doesn't matter, in the fluff they're the most ornate garish marines out there and their proper models reflect that

>>96076381
I want Myrmidons man. Tech-Priests who pimp themselves out with as much combat-oriented cybernetics are cool as fuck

>>96077415
We were talking about models buddy

>>96077415
we're not talking about fluff, and we're not talking about horus heresy boutique side game sculpts

we're talking about main line 40k sculpt quality, in which case blood angels look like this

>>96077420
I want these goofy fucker's and thallax so bad it's unreal

>>96077434
No we aren't, cope more Templarnigher

>>96077440
james, why must you contain these cool-ass models to a single game :(

>>96077440
I'm sure all the bugs will eventually get done in plastic if thallax got plastics. Who knows when tho

>>96077434
I actually like the new sanguine guard

>>96077448
I prefer the 40k range unironically

>>96077458
I think they'd look sweet with frowny face tac marine helmets

>>96077459
I mean I like all of 40k's admech, besides that retarded archaeopter, I just want more cybernetica then fuckin kastellans

>>96077463
to this day I do not see a frowny face when looking at mark 7, they look closer to the chris chan straw meme

>>96077468
I don't know what that means

>>96077466
Not a mechlad but the flappy bird plane is one of my fave models from their line

>>96077459
same
I like the "cybernetic alchemist monks" look but I hate the da vinci shit, it looks out of place
30k mechanicum's retrofuturism shit however looks even more out of place
same with van saar in necromunda, Infinity-ass models

Ok so general question here, working on a nurgle wardog, I have cursed idea for the basing and need advice. I want to cover the base in honey or sugar water and leave it in the lawn so ants and bugs will get on it. Will several coats of matt varnish be enough to keep it from stinking and if not how could I get this done without causing a biohazard

>pic for attention one of the shoulder pads I just did the first coat of primer on

>>96077477
I think 30k mechanicum is too safe, like its almost a caricature of what a newbie would think the admech would look like

>Post Models
What're you guys working on today?

>>96077489
Don't do this. Varnish can't stop mould, or stop a pregnant insect from exploding in your house into 2000 who knows whats

>>96077493
I made home made fried chicken caesar wraps for dinner and baked some bread

>>96077502
And you've not posted a picture to share with us? low effort.

>>96077490
this too but tbqh 30k in its entirety was designed by a committee to be safe and appealing to the widest possible audience

>>96076587
Which post was this in?

>>96077512
Didn't snap any pics this time but this was the last time I did chicken with this recipe and it turned out pretty much identical this time

>>96077210
Oh to be a Rogue Trader who collects a tithe of thick, busty women from each world in his protectorate and keeps them safe in his flagship...

>>96077532
I want fried chicken now

>>96077532
Share the recipe, anon, that chicken looks good.

Did demons even ever have a Christmas box

>>96077548
Arrive on a new world, show them the documentation that they are now part of your domain, and immediately demand the five thickest women on the planet be brought to your ship.

>>96077493
those look nice anon
I'm taking a break but will probably go back to cobbling together random ork stuff soon

>>96077551
relatively they are, 30k mech is closer to their citadel jorunal rules than they would be to a proper army.

>>96077551
yes, unironically
stiltman is hated for a reason
30kslop could never afford such a risk lest it scares off 1 out of 5 total people who buy those models

>>96077551
none of this grimderp is communicated in that rejected warmahordes model

if admech wasn't a range in 40k, and 30k mechanicum was made today this board would shit on it harder than it does votann.

The unspoken rule of grass being greener in every other game system would not help it

>>96077543
The recipe is pretty easy. I like the potato starch in there to add more crisp but you can sub it out for more corn starch if you can't find it. The msg is absolutely not optional
Warhammer 40k

>>96077595
There are several unspoken rules here that if broken can result in a ban from the jannies.

1. The grass is always greener, every other game system is always better than 40k

2. Old good new bad, anything new is automatically bad.

3. Deep cuts are invalid, any design decisions should be based on the common ideas not any deep lore no matter how fundemental, so chaos is local to the galaxy and birthed by humanity no matter what the lore actually says.

>>96077551

>>96077659

>>96077632
The last 7 days of the month collage anon will post an anchor post you can submit your models to in every thread but he should be able to find any submissions in the archive as long as you write that it's meant for the collage.

Nice chocolate nids anon, what paints did you use for the armour & skin?

>>96077338
If it wasn't for the chained weapons it could easily be a generic chaplain model. The crosses on the pauldrons are the most swappable shit ever.

Pretty sure this was a leftover Primaris chaplain design repackaged as a BT char to boost sales.

>>96077685
nothing in 30k is blanche inspired while skitarii and techpriests in 40k are ripped directly from his sketches

But varnish won't do it. It won't smell, but their exoskeleton will cave and they will mould away, and you don't want that.

>>96077685
30k isn't isn't inspired by Blanche at all.
30k shit is fucking awful, from the vehicles to the marines and rest of the factions.

Elite 1 of 5 for the collage is finished, I need to speed the hell up if I'm going to get all 5 done before the end of the month.

Sup peeps? Anyone painting late tonight?

>>96077743
Nice

>>96077697
Skitarii aren't the issue, they're in both systems retard, DaVinci copters and stiltboys and a lack of robots in the robot guys army is the issue.
>picrel more blanche then any nu admech model

Ask them how to get into 40k lore, if they suggest reading the Horus Heresy they are probably retarded

I just got the combat patrol for the tau and everything i need to put them together but I wanna use magnets, do i actually need magnets for the commander or can i just say in game that he is like an enforcer instead of a cold star?

>>96077712
>maybe kill tank
kill tank was what I had in mind when I started putting it together, though going off the apparent measurements its about an inch and a half too short, though the width and height are about right
could run it as a kannonwagon too; I dont really play much these days but if I do field it it'd just be with mates and they wouldnt care what I ran it as

>CAN YOU FEEL RAKARTH!

I'm leaning towards a intercessor/heavy intercessor army based around Lieutennants and Apothecary Biologis for lethal hits spam. Utilizing Anvil Siege Force for +1 to wound on all targets if they stood still.

Hitting on 2+ is nice.
Hits with 6's auto wounding is nice with -1AP and either double shots at 1 wound/each or half the shots longer range at 2 wounds/each.
Wounding standing still is 5+ at worst.
Wounding toughness lower is on 2+, with dice so numerous it can wipe a gaunt unit of 20 a turn.

Thinking 30 and 30 of both intercessor types and 1 of each leader to get that critical hits thing a decent chance to hurt bigger stuff. The sticky objective and 2+ save on half the army while standing on objectives against flak fire is nice too.

1500 points at 177 wounds for the army seems fun to me. Very meme-worthy, maybe WACO if I didn't know better. Easy list building because 1 of each unit+1 of each leader type makes exactly 500 points.

Convince me it's not a good idea. I really want a "Holy Bolter" army, where the baseline guns are their basic gun for a reason.

Image related, I have 60 Infernus marines. conversion idea bottom right. Already pinned that I could utilize plastic quarter spheres for hood shields and a plethora of shields to use for the gun flanks. Just a few plastic blocks and tubes away from making the bolt rifle/heavy bolter variants. If you can fire 4 "better than bolt gun" shots a turn, it may as well be held like a heavy bolter right? Even if it just fires 2 shots a turn with almost heavy bolter stats?

My excuse for them holding the guns that way is the ammunition load. All marines have "25 round magazines" and no apparent backup magazines. Maybe I could utilize the heavy weapon appearance to load the ammunition for
>'muh realism'

Early idea stages. Be nice pls.

I would not say its impossible to have fun in 40k right now, but KT is super fun indeed.

When they run out of new Primaris ideas in another six or seven years, what do you think is going to be their excuse to start remodelling all the existing Space Marines kits again?

>>96078345
A second heresy.

>>96078342
Its not about GW or sticking it to them, its just a cheap and fast way to get stuff from a sold out box without having to wait for individual releases, and without paying money to assholes who buy such boxes in bulk to profit from it.

>>96078343
I am actually enjoying playing 40k a fair bit right now, but I partially attribute that to not having to play against Knights.

>>96077986
there is no way they are not making a box out of those serviters. They look so good.

You dont even have to go that far. Look at the Desolator marines. They can make all sorts of idiotic aspect warrior squads with idiotic weapon options for decades to come.

>>96078360
Biker marines are way less popular than you think. They're not like terminators where ever chapter has them and their spin on them. They are strictly white Scars coded and they are second least popular major chapter

>>96078381
>They're not like terminators where ever chapter has them and their spin on them.
yes, they are

your white scars are an irrelevant stain at the bottom of the barrel

>Leman Russ comes back, but his time in the warp and webway have somehow changed him. He is now corrupted.

>Dorn comes back, he is now following Khorne

>Khan comes back, but likes DEldar a bit too much now

They are not brave enough to do something drastic like this, but they could easily come up with something about the missing loyal primarchs. Because them coming all back is pretty much a fact for the coming years.

Or they could focus a bit more on the conflict between the Church vs the atheist Gulliman.

>>96077395

I've seen those Roman face details before in other media. Do they have a name or are they just faces?

Of course every chapter has bikes. Where do you get that retarded idea that they dont?
>and their spin on them
Dark Angels clearly have. Ravenwing is all about bikes. That would be an entire release wave alone if they want to do that.

Then, obviously, they could just introduce specialist bikes for Wolves, Templars, Ultramarines etc..

Imperial agents expansion is coming...
I can feel it!

>They're not like terminators where ever chapter has them

>>96078387
>Which chapters are specifically noted as not having bikes?
NTA but I think you are misunderstanding. I get his point. Every divergent chapter has some fancy special Terminator thing going on but only Dark Angels and White Scars say or do anything with Mounted units.

Terminators on bikes it is

>>96078420
Which is the perfect opportunity for GW to milk it, by introducing specialist bikes for all sorts of chapters. Salamanders clearly need a bike with heavy flamer, right?

>>96078370
>Between who?
the fundamentalist imperium of terra, who's willing to abandon the dark side of the galaxy and double down on the imperium's 'issues' to push forward, and the imperium secundus of ultramar led by guilliman, who's accepting radical measures to make mankind survive now

the vast majority of marines go to the imperium secundus, except the ones affiliated with the inquisition, terra and the ecclesiarchy (such as deathwatch, grey knights, custodes, minotaurs, fists and templars)

the imperium secundus doesn't have the cult of mars and instead they get a few tech-progressive separatists, a reinassance of human development, and the backing of some leagues of votann

human troops are normal generic soldiers that still look like cadians for the most part

the imperium secundus has a burgeoning cult of the starchild largely replacing the culture of martyrdom of the normal imperium, who retains almost all of the sisters of battle (a few of them embrace the cult of the starchild and the sensei)

>>96078390
>They are not brave enough to do something drastic like this
More like they aren't dumb enough to do dumbshit like that.
You want traitor primarchs? Just use the current existing ones, faggot.

>>96078390
you don't need just bravery, you need to be stupid as well to think those asspulls work

If I allocate all my wounds with precision to a leader and I overkill the extra wounds are still allocated to the regular bodyguards right?
And also during that fight phase the unit is considered to be whole for purposes of leader buffs and bodyguard buffs as well, right?

>>96078390
>Because them coming all back is pretty much a fact for the coming years.
No, it's not, khan, corax, vulkan and ferrus are absolute nobodies.

remind me again what cope you use to make sense of why they don't move all the budget from the things you think don't sell into making primarchs?

>>96078484
Primarchs don't sell as much as standart box sets and normal units because most people think they don't have the painting skills for them. What really sells are CPs, KTs, limited edition faction boxes and box sets with 3 or so cool looking units packed. How many people do you know that own a primarch

>>96078488
>revolving around them
The horus heresy (game) revolves around the marines, not the primarchs, always did, always will, which is why they don't care in the slightest about making the primarchs in plastic and will simply keep churning out more generic power armors, emphasis on generic because they will NEVER waste money on plastic kits exclusive to the irrelevant subfactions such as white scars.

Thing is, if any Primarch was an absolute nobody, then it was Roboute Guilliman. He probably has the least screentime during the HH series, does pretty much nothing besides a few token fights and he has pretty much zero personality. Nobody gave a shit about him at all. And yet they brought him back first.

give this woman another mini

God, I am so tired of 1000 point games. Everyone in my friend group is extremely slow painting though, and none of them own more than like 1500 points of models yet. I'm tempted to just paint some models myself and gift them just to hurry them along.

>nylon

>>96078806
The guy's a pretty good painter, he plays Guard normally.

>>96078832
zoats would fit better as a weird kill team than as a faction, it's not like they have many concepts to translate back to modern 40k and their whole deal is mind tricks, so they can control already existing troops like gsc do with the guard, instead of getting a new range
to diversify the stuff they can control they might pull mind tricks on stuff that isn't the guard

>>96078817
that's the second mini anon, this is the first
and she'll get a third until you remember it right

>>96078860
The third one hopefully gets a full visor helmet or a gasmask.

>>96078860
This reminds me of commissar Severina Raine.
GW hyped her up and then she got forgotten.

>>96077493
I finished Typhus's model, his base is still being worked on as I'm still deciding on how I'll base my whole army. Funny to finish him now that nobody really uses it but I felt bad at how long he's been on my desk. Not super happy with how he turned out though.

>>96078827
Worse then you would ever expect.

>>96078889
Minka has several books and these models. Raine didn't last past her first book. Minka seems to have some staying power, probably because she's Cadian and the IG fanbase is 99% Cadian fans.

>>96078946
>Minka seems to have some staying power
she really really doesn't, it's just the cucks at black library that wish she was.

>>96078730
Except in one edition, I think it was 7th, when GW just retconned away half the major orders and literally every single minor order in existence for absolutely no reason, then deretconned again next edition without ever a single word.

>>96078961
naw, the raine example shows you are probably wrong, because if they are pushing Minka because she's a strong powerful women despite the books (in your opinion) not selling then why did they bury Raine instead of making her a series as well?

>>96078973
because they're pushing minka instead

>>96078889
doesn't lesk have like 6 or 7 novels by now?
I dunno, don't care much for Cadians I only guard books I read were Ciaphas Cain and the Krieg books

>>96078946
Raine had a resin model and the regiment was a custom one. Minska has plastic models and they sell cardians

>>96079004
It's 40kg, so it's not out of the ordinary for people to argue something that has a lot of releases doesn't sell or isn't popular (see 40kg on the BL Horus Heresy series)

>>96079034
Yes I already noted Minka is Cadian which means she already has a built-in fanbase (at least one bigger than a female commissar leading a weird (not ghosts wink) celtic female centric warrior regiment

>>96079743
A 2k game typically takes about 4-5 hours. That can change drastically of one or both players are new or if you are playing with distractions. You can make games a bit shorter by talking it out after turn three when things go one-sided. Your first few games will go really long because everyone will need to reference rules constantly but eventually you can internalize all that and go much smoother. Some armies naturally take more time to play then others depending on the number of activations and whether they are a multiphase damage army or not.
Typically turns 1 and 2 are about 50% of the total game time because that's when everything "happens" and your forced get cut down to much more manageable sizes on each side. Sometimes it's turns 2 and 3 instead of you play very cagey turn 1.

They have their 40k panic button, the age of sigmarification of 40k with the emperor gestating into a god, and the resulting warp tear around terra causing another massive galaxy spanning rift, the result being that the entire galaxy is brought into the warp and ta dah, we have age of emperor.

but kill me if that ever happens.

Space marines go in diapers, humans build latrines, eldar don't poop, and orks have no shame.

>>96076862
Gork and Mork's presence in the warp is immensely understated, I feel. Mostly because it keeps to itself/focuses its attention on the Orks in realspace.

>What smaller factions or micro-factions would you like to see expanded upon more in lore or models?
Horus Heresy should add rules or models for simulating late great crusade campaigns like the Interex and the Olamic Quietude and the Megarachnids.

40k should add Crone World Eldar to the Dark Eldar roster, not because the dark eldar worship slaanesh but because I feel like the Dark City would kidnap degenerated crone worlders and use them for gladiators, mercenaries and daemon-possessed shock troops.

Adding a Lost and the Damned army for Chaos, with certain Chaos-touched aliens like Crone Worlders, Ssylth, Yu-vath alongside human Anarchs, Hereteks and renegade imperial generals would be ideal.

>>96076552
World eaters got two models, you didn't even point out how shitty thousand sons are.
>deathwatch
Not a real army.

>>96076350 (OP)
I don’t want any new factions because we’ll just get another tiny faction with no unit variety.

So many of the factions have been locked for years waiting for
>old finecast models to be remade
>forge world units to be remade
>units heavily mentioned in lore being made
By the time it rolls around no faction has anything new conceptually apart from marines

>>96080245
>World eaters got two models,
and they were both more offensive than the birdbots
>hmm everybody hates jakhals and eightbound?
>here, your only releases for the next 5 years are even uglier jakhals and a shitty eightbound HQ

>>96080284
GW thought that everyone buying eightbound was because they liked the models and not because they were 1 of 3 kits WE had

>>96076629
Armigers

>>96080284
Goremongers are what jakhals should have been. The problem with jakhals is they're just generic cultists. And there's the Dishonoured model that looks like a failed space marine that should have been his own thing.

And the real problem with jakhals and goremongers is that there is no Grand Jakhal so you can run a horde of khorne cultists and bloodletters, while Tsons have a Tzaangor shaman for their mutant detachment.

The slaughterbound is really a failure though. It doesn't even look bigger than eightbound, it has no silhouette that would make you say "he looks like he ate a bloodthirster". No idea what the thinking was there.

Corsairs should be a subfaction with expanded range because they were the Original Eldar and all the later factions came out of the Eldar Pirates from 1988.

Has anyone done a height comparison between the 40k Roboute Guilliman and the Saturnine Praetor?

>>96080347

Thanks, anon. Looks like a terminator can proxy a primarch model....

Might not look that way looking at an image on the screen but he is definitely bigger and slightly beefier than a regular eightbound

>mfw I paint the floating toilet "exhaust" brown

>>96080399
that's a fortune when your 13. nothing has changed. inflation just hit really hard.

>>96080391
I feel like 40k has more support since it wasn't dead for 9 years and replaced by 40k planeswalkers with Land Marines and God Emperor Sigmar. Fantasy has a huge fanbase of secondaries because of the lore and the videogames but a smaller playerbase/collectorbase because rank and flank is harder to get into.

Another thing I think reduces the popularity is that there are fewer new releases of this and that subfaction. Cathay is a test to see if such things can be profitable, but I would be down with datasheets for stuff like Norse Dwarf War mammoths and Berzerkers to run a Norse Dwarf subfaction of the Dwarfs (because otherwise they're effectively the same).

Fantasy is cheaper though, ironic since what killed it was that fantasy was more expensive than 40k.

>>96080406
Americans love settings where they can be unapologetically racist. And guns.

6 years ago I was making 15/hr and would have murdered someone for a full time job making 20/hr. Then I was making 1500 a week in 2020. Now I'm making 20 an hour again and I'm poor as fuck. It's not just inflation but the fun little 'restart your career' every few years when a new recession causes layoffs. The only way to actually get ahead would have been progressive investing into TQQQ in 2020 and 2022 but I didn't know/understand investing well back then so I missed out.

>>96080399

>You don’t get to retire from the guard unless you’re an untouchable hero like Cain or you never fought anything but dirt farming peasants who didn’t want to starve to death because this year’s tithe was a bit too heavy
Depends on whether you see being left behind to form the core of a newly (re-)conquered world’s PDF as a form of retirement. Personally, I’d put that on the same level as Cain becoming a Schola Progenium instructor.

>>96080411
>paint the floating toilet "exhaust" brown
It's just crazy enough to work, you brilliant bastard.
It's a shame the kit is probably too expensive for me to justify buying it for a meme. I can imagine a custom mission where 3 random units are inflicted with food poisoning at the start of the game, and become the only units able to score on the floating toilet objective.

New player here, what is the difference in the new space wolves between wolf guard with the new doggies, wolf guard terminators, bladeguard veterans, and wulfen? They all seem like they fill the dame kind of niche of being sort of the elite bruiser infantry of the army

Finally finished painting Leontus, I honestly think he isn’t cool enough to be faction lord.
Should have just been some kind of command table diorama or a tank.

>>96080798

>>96080842
Yeah, I gave all my order givers a gold base rim so I can spot them faster but I am seriously doubting the choice

Anyone has the new dawn of fire book?!

>>96080391
Star Wars killed itself over a decade ago.
Lord of the Rings raped wfb so hard it even was the premier GW fantasy game at the start of the milenium

>>96080864
I did at one point but I already used it as toilet paper to wipe my ass with!

>>96077869
Thanks. They are Black Legion, but I painted freehand flames on the kneepad of an earlier model and liked the result, so I decided to make it a binding theme for the Terminators. I think I will call them Doom Walkers, in the same vein as the Sons of Horus had names for their elite sub-formations like the Justaerin.

>>96080863
I think you could get away with it if you were really diligent during the basing stage to not get any texture on the base rim. Metallics show texture very easily on large flat surfaces

>>96080009
>>96080038
But I thought they showed this like 3 weeks ago.

>>96080921
He still visits me sometimes

40komrades, what's our response?

every subhuman who posts
>what's our response???
with some vapid image comparing disparate subjects should be rangebanned and executed

>>96080863
the idea of having officers be a different rim color is not a bad idea, its just the bright spangly gold is taking attention away from the rest of the model, the base rim is the brightest part of the mini.

what might work better is having the infantry have black rim bases and then giving the officers a cadian armor green base rim or something. still a muted, darker color so it doesnt take attention away from the mini, but different enough that you can quickly pick out your officers, like the color your ogryns armor and the horse fabric is.

but yeah the rest of the guy looks solid, especially the face.

>>96080956
People care too much about scale. They're both cool. Might pick up the HH set at some point and make a death guard army or something.

>>96080956
Boxnoughts are better than any new model GW will ever shit out

I want to make some purity seals like these, / the ones sanguinor has.
I tested making my own with greenstuff but even after curing they're still floppy. Do I need to get a wire inside it somehow? WHat's a better method?

>>96080956
The difference isn't that big but it is a little sad

>>96080968
that’s actually a great idea, I will do that!

>>96080891
I will just sand it down and repaint it

>>96080990
boxnaughts were always smaller than they should be, even when they were brand new. the art made them look massive but the minis were always disappointingly small, i remember being underwhelmed by them when i got into the game back in 2001

>>96080982
maybe cut some tin foil strips, fold a few times to give em some structure.

>>96080982
I know some people like aluminum sheets cut. I would probably mix more yellow into sharper details when mixing your greenstuff. The more blue the more rubbery it'll be after curing and the softer it'll be before curing. Yellow is your hardener and the blue is your base.

>>96080990
Man the Saturnines are fucking huge. How do they even operate it?

>>96080994
>will just sand it down and repaint it
Was going to suggest this as it'll give the best result, but didn't know if you'd be willing to commit. Godspeed anon, it's going to make a world of difference

>>96080995
I mean yeah, they're from an era where lots of stuff was under or oversized in the miniatures. Hopefully we either get a new boxnaut eventually like we did terminators, or they repackage them into units of 3

>>96078666
Glue dried. I'll see if I can loop back to covering it up if I have enough time today.

>>96081181
eh, maybe not for you. you're used to things being disappointingly small so you probably didnt mind.

>>96081189
just because you're easily impressionable and thought they were bigger it doesn't mean they were actually depicted as such

>>96081205
just because you're a braindead mongrel contrarian who pretends to know anything about this setting or the scaling within it doesn't mean you actually do

>>96081233
Those pictures are consistent with the models, you retard.

I will never understand why people that buy $100 GW kits can't convince themselves to get a cheap airbrush setup that solves all the issues you get with rattlecans

>>96081181
yes they where but you must also skipped the part in the rules that even say that the models are just abstractions. i bet your so retarded and you think the Close combat phase ist beating and punching only. news flash not even that as it is not a melee but grenade and very short range in full auto mode. they rarely beat and punch eat other or even get that far.

yes, it does
