If you mean posterboy villains for an edition I think it's time for Orks

>>96087247 (OP)
There shouldn't be a "main" antagonist, the setting should just be set dressing to facilitate the various factions all fighting each other. Stuff like an actual coherant narative and emphisis on specific characters has ruined modern 40k

>>96087273
They're too stupid

Imperial agents expansion is coming...
I can feel it...
>TQ
Civil war within the imperium forcing veteran guardsman regiments, the mechanicum and everything the administratum and the High Lords can throw at Guilliman to face off agains't marines because they disagree with Guilliman's petty regulations that are destroying the imperium's efficiency, economy and aristocratic elite

How long until Primaris get Disintegrators since they suddenly everyone in 40k is getting them?

>Which army should take over as the main antagonists?
New Iron Warriors line led by Demon Prince Perturabo

>>96087312
Parasite is a cool mini and I don't think it's a unique character so you could probably field multiple of them. Still won't be buying the box though. Pyrovore seems like a really weird addition. Should have put in a Lictor (neuro or normal) instead

So where can I find a good recast of this dweeb (2nd edition)

>>96087312
Combat Patrols ust being infantry only now most of the time is so absolutely shit

>>96087336

>>96087312
>>trying to force you to buy wulfen
Like they're not an S tier unit, and it's a good combat patrol, on par with the old firstborn start collecting

>>96087358
the horrible karate posed sculpts are the issue, not the unit rules

>>96087345
his metal mini is still on ebay for like $100

>>96087354
Combat Patrols should have it's own datasheets and balancing and objectives for quick 500pt games
Vehicles would be like T5 or some shit

>>96087366
Recast would probably cost less than that

>>96087369
GW can barely balance this game as is, let alone trying to balance yet another set of rules

>>96087363
they look better with the 2 handed axes. shame those are usually the worst option. they do desperately need a head swap though, those heads suck.

I like this sculpt and can find a recast for it, but I'm surprised GW itself doesn't sell it anymore?
I thought FW models were moved to the regular store?

>>Thread Question:
>Which army should take over as the main antagonists?
Word Bearers, they finally come out the shadows and try to split the imperium in a religious war. Sisters and Ecclesiarchie are split as are SM that have drunk to much of the religion coolaid. Guilman, lion maybe a primarch that returned have a full civil war on there hands on the other side of the warp wall where the imperial influence is the weakest. Xenos try to capitalize on that chaos, imperium uses that as a chance to get rid of religion and pushes the imperial truth once more and removes the religious nutty jobs sucking resources of imperial endeavors.

>>96086995
>You went right past "retarded", stopped briefly at "so retarded it's almost believable"
Anon, GW literally did that same thing with the fucking Lion.

Also everybody knows/expects Russ to be revealed soon. Why?
Because the Space Wolves codex, kind of, spoiled that due to that one rule which affects "monsters" and only things in the SM codex that have "monster" as a keyword are primarchs.

>>96087389
If they're not available how come I've seen them?

>>96087408
>In addition, they are all but impervious to the natural consequences of aging and cell decay
Ok, so marines ARE biologically immortal then.
And all the "aging" is just cosmetic for them.

>>96087408
I remember a social media meltdown by sensitives over the use of "gendered language" in describing what it takes to make a space marine.
A fucking open letter to GW was made I think on Goonhammer and the guy went full Reddit mod on the comments saying nobody is entitled to a platform or some shit like that.

I legitimately envy the comfortable lives people must have when the use of "he" instead of "they" is what sends them into a frothing rage.
>Are you ready for your female space marines /TG/?
>Or are you a bunch of bigots?
I don't think anybody is. It is really not fair to paint everyone as a bigot who opposes such things. It is more like they have seen the mistreatment of other sci-fi IPs with Star Wars being the biggest example just having the magic that made it special being squeezed out. So people oppose female space marines because they oppose the magic of 40k being squeezed out.

>>96087408
Next edition. Mark my words.
The /tg/ meltdown will be glorious

>>96087389
Yes, they are, what are you on about?

>>96087495
You do realize that simply going "we don't need X, we got Y" is also the answer to female marines and custodes, right?

>>96087408
>Are you ready for your female space marines /TG/?
Yeah, been ready for years. Like you don't need to be psychic to see the writing on the walls at this point.
I like marines because they super soldier knights in cool power armor with big guns and swords. Not because of what genitals they have between their legs, that shit is mad gay.

>>96087541
recognising that would require not being a hypocrite.

I work in a mental health facility wing of a hospital as a male nurse. Yep those are a thing.

There was a large flux of suicidal white girls showing up that coincided with the timing of when JK Rowling came out of the closet about her beliefs on womanhood.
Didn't see a notable influx of men when the femstodes came out.
I'm bracing myself for having to deal with a lot of sweaty neckbeards when female marines in the Warhammer 40k franchise becomes a thing.

if you are going to ever do fem-marines it shouldn't be "there have always been fem marines" but instead something like "Astartes Renegades that see themselves as the future of humanity made FemMarines so they can exist as a race seperate and above humanity"
It'd add a new power armour faction (GW loves that) and actually ties into some HH-era thoughts and feelings

>>96087644
Is that Jasmin from Aladdin?

I spend very little time thinking about the science of my colourful space soldiers and always use helmeted heads so idgaf if someone wants to give theirs ponytails and makeup. 40K is a joke setting where every ridiculous possibility can be happening somewhere. or at least it used to be before the modern character-focused marvel slop took over.

Like we of 40kg were one to talk about mental illness.
There was a guy who was in the same facility as me from our community with his Kill Team book. We had to confiscate it because people thought it was a "nazi book" and some big man threatened to beat him up over being a Nazi when he really wasn't.

We asked this guy about the femstodes and he was surprised it happened. So it most likely was other things in his life that led him to coming here.
We also had to confiscate his phone because he was posting here.

>you severely underestimate the popularity of harry potter and the baseline illnesses of its fanbase.
Perhaps you're right.
Didn't JK Rowling be made into a character to be brutally murdered in some mentally ill writer's book?

Marines. Have some story about a chapter going rogue and just fill the entire starter box full of nothing but marines. Then give the marines another full army release, and update every marine codex and supplement for the entire first half of 11th edition.
Nothing but an endless marine wank feast for two years straight.
Then quietly do all the other codices every two weeks apart, with a pity character.
Then finish the last year of 11th with marines 2.0 and every supplement all over again.

It's because of the long hair in combat is a liability.
But at the same they do it because it looks unconventional on a female character. Basically many artists use such things as a visual shorthand to "explain" things about a character, so a person who looks at it can infer certain feel from a character.
Which in this case exists as to showcase that the female marine is a proper soldier and doesn't need some inconveniences like long hair.

Good example of this is anime. Lot of the time they use stuff like hair color to establish a family connection between characters, like all family members have red hair.
And they use it specifically so they don't need to use lot of time to establish connections and whatever.

Men typically have shorter hair.
If they wanted to give a man an unconvential hair style they'd make it longer, which is already a thing and common in 40k.
Like just look at the Space Wolves, Blood Angels, Raven Guard.
Hell, even the Emperor himself.

>>96087408
they should just have sisters teaming up with space marines more

>>96088184
Because it doesn't need to be.
Also it's plenty modular anyway, it doesn't take lot of effort to take the legs of a tartaros and add them to an indomitus suit.

>Based on the images, it quite clearly does.
No, it doesn't, there's no image that shows a schematic of the guy wearing the suit, there's no unhelmeted option for the pilot either, there's a world of possibilities before having to consider the absurd.

>>96088246

I like the bit in Our Martyred Lady where the BTs got all pissy about having to follow a SoB ritual in order to navigate through the warp
Morven Vahl's book has her fighting alongside the BTs as well since Ophelia VII seems to get invaded every other week

Discord raid again, huh?

so have the combat patrols been price gouged to the point where they arent really even deals anymore?

it kinda just seems like you get the 5 wound fott character for free and otherwise you're paying msrp on everything

>>96088478
The boobs could be bigger

>>96088478
the first problem is a skill issue
the second problem wouldn't be solved by making female marines, male marines would keep being the only ones anyone cares about

in short: they're not valid problems

>>96088478
I care about the SoB
They're my favourite faction.

>>96088490
you're still saving 30-60 bucks on a combat patrol vs buying individually
they're almost always not good deals in terms of models you want though, only a few like the new zerker box/current DE box/tau box/new templar box are decent

i was looking at the new space wolves one in particular. i have nothing for the army so i kind of want everything in it (i know some people dont like the wulfen but i think they're cool), but idk if there's a cheaper way to get a hold of the new models. the army deal box is going for like $300 on secondhand market which doesnt seem great for like 2 squads of troops and a small pack of elite guys.

>the one anon advocating for female marines
>all his pictures are from a porn artist

>inb4 "I'd cum to this", "I wish porn actress was a marine", "those boobs aren't big enough"

What's the actual lore reason why women can't be space marines?

>>96088511
Based

saars I boughted the paint set

>>96088428
But we already did that. Strongmen politicians came back into fashion and in response, GW brought back a Primarch. You fell in love with technocrats, and GW gave you Cawl. It goes on.

>>96088568
Common sense

>>96088568
The emperor was a fag who only wanted to surround himself with big, oiled up, muscular men

>>96088568
chromosomes

>>96088581
yeah but if you injected a girl with trt and steroids from an early age she'd basically look the same just with wider hips and a vagina

>>96088568
you need to be close enough to the primarch already for all the organ transplants and stuff to work right, throwing a whole different hormone, skeletal and psychological profile would make it impossible.
It's why they thought Custodes would make more sense, they are artisanal and the surgeries are specific to each one.

>>96088039
Think of the Centurion armor, the space marines legs probably don't go that low.

>>96088613
this is peak 40k design

>want to play melee crusader marines but don't want to paint Black Templars
What are some out religious melee successor chapters?
>inb4 I paint them up as grey Imperial Heralds of "unknown" geneseed

>>96088568
making the process compatible with women required an additional amount of complex bioengineering and that added complexity would have been a waste of time in an already tight schedule of galactic conquest because it was utterly unnecessary: the amount of candidates are never the limiting factor in the amount of marines, the limiting factor is only ever the amount of geneseed available at any given time.

and that's setting aside the fact men are more physically gifted than women, so they make better soldiers.
the common answer that making women would have allowed the marines to reproduce is wrong, it was never suggested, it's not a given female marines would be capable of reproduction, and if marines wanted to split off from the imperium and be fully independent on their own, they could simply farm humans like cattle.

>>96088628
[Your guys] can be whoever the fuck you want them to be.

>>96088628
they're generic enough to be pretty much anything

>>96088628
make your own dudes

>>96088568
Varied, but all the current justifications require the application of "real world logic" that doesn't really apply to anywhere else in the setting. Similar to trying to explain the mechanical impossibility of a Titan or the aerodynamics of a Thunderhawk.

>>96088647
Yeah, and right now I want to ask what are the options.

>>96088603
See, this is why he didn't make female primarchs
>>96088581

>>96088576
That's a genuinely deranged interpretation of what went on, primarchs aren't a response to politics, they were a response to gw almost going under, and cawl is not a technocrat any more than the preexisting admech faction, if anything he's specifically a guy who explicitly doesn't want to be in command.

>>96088628
Flesh Tearers?

>>96088613
The pelvis and legs HAVE to go that low otherwise a single step forward breaks their legs because legs cannot bend forward.

Painting white minis suck.

>Out of images so xhe starts flipping them and respamming

>>96088268

>>96088628
make islamic marines instead

There should be a greater emphasis on inductii and unaffiliated adventurers with power armor so people can get this urge out of them without shitting on the lore.

>>96088721
I have more, don't worry about it

>>96088732
there are no more classical religions in 40k.

there is no Christian, Muslim or Hebrew religions. no Hinduism no Shinto no Taoism and so forth.

>>96088568
Emperor was afraid of marines supplanting humanity. That's the idea the writers were going with.

Not like it'd matter anyway since even if we go with the idea that marines could have kids after the procedures, since how human reproduction actually works, even if a male marine fucked a regular female human or a female space marine or a female marine fucksa regular male human, it'd still only result in a regular human child.

The reason being that the genes you will pass to your own offspring are decided at your own very conception while within the womb.
And we know that marines do not get their genitals modified, meaning any of the gametes they have (sperm or egg cells) will not be modified. The child would never inherit any of the actual marine organs or modifications.


But the writes don't know this stuff because they aren't biology nerds and this stuff potentially wasn't even known in the 80s yet.

>>96088576
>Strongmen politicians came back into fashion
Aren't two alpha-male politicians are currently wanted by International Court?

>>96088762
There are untold numbers of different interpretations of the belief in the Emperor that are tolerated/approved of by the Ecclesiarchy so it stands to reason at least one of them is similar to contemporary islamic thought

>>96088757
I cum again

>>96088672
The option is to make something up or play BT or BA or SW. all three are melee oriented.

>>96088722
Tbqh this image doesn't look like a girl.

Finally decided to stop procrastinating and make the new glacis for my Space Wolf-ized Leman Russ, time for the fun part of putting all the little details on it.

>>96088762
The one true faith in the one true god would logically resurface.

>>96088792
I agree, tits not big enough.

>>96088568
As other anons mentioned; the Emperor viewed it as a potential waste. He already got the geneseed stable for men which provides a large enough recruitment pool, retooling it for women would have just more time and effort that he instead used to start conquering planets. By the times thing 'settled down' the conquests were already well under way, so female Marines weren't needed. Beyond that the Marines were always a temporary tool, once everything was brought into the Imperium then Marines would no longer need to be produced. Introducing a larger recruitment pool would just make it harder to eventually put them down.

>>96088518
Shitty tattoos on dumpy nerds will never fail to make me laugh

>>96088784
>Ecclesiarchy

base line humans are not SM. SM are thought the imperial truth, the imperium is atheist.

You want Islamic "troops" you have to play female SoB or chaos. SM do not believe in the teachings of Ecclesiarchy . It goes against everything the emperor stands for. Against the whole horus heresy. Its like admitting erebus and logar where right. Big no anon. Not even my dudes or headcanon can justify that. It goes against the whole design philosophy of SM.

>>96088873
Doesn't matter
They are an example of Emperor worshipping marines and torpedo your ESL "argument"

Does anyone here actually play the game? Or even own minis?

>>96088860
BTs are the exception (and theyre painfully reddit)

>>96088873
Blanche designed them as the ideal norm for marines, they are only exceptional because the rest of marines all fucking suck.

Looks like Female Astartes are unironically back on thr menu.

>>96088860
you seem not understand the lore or thematic of BT. A cross means not imidatly religion. Not even the name has the same meaning as all knowledge of 21st century earth is not existing any more.

>>96088935
Black Templars canonically worship the God Emperor, secondary.

>And what Blanche thinks is irrelevant
No, what you think is irrelevant, What blanche says is law for 40k, even when he's not even working at GW: he said in an interview that he always thought the artwork of the emperor on the golden throne would be a fake prop for visitors and pilgrims and that the real emperor is interred somewhere deep into the actual mechanisms of the throne, and lo and behold not even one year from that and a random writer makes that canon in the last short story of the horus heresy.
What blanche thinks is 40k, what he draws is 40k, even when it's explicitly not 40k it is also 40k, hell, the silhouette of the shit smears in his underwear would immediately become a canonical type of inquisitor, one day the old fart will die and they will turn whatever happens to be said at his funeral into a quote of some writer's self insert in some misbegotten 40k novel.
Like it or not, blanche is 40k and you are not.

>>96088975
tell that to star wars that fuckt up with its woke shit, how about dragon age? Ghost busters reboot? Just stfu. People care, they care a lot.

>>96088987
That's a given, because you don't own any models you could actually paint

>>96088975
i think a lot more people will care than with custodes. not that it means much, because for every person voting with their wallet you have individuals spending 10 peoples worth of money anyways

>>96088990
not from the founding chapters with established lore. keep your non canon fan fiction for your self.

>>96089001
if you care surely you own models?

I'm starting to consider Fire Angels.
>>96088664
Why?
>>96088690
That would fit BA minis, I'm looking for something more obscure.
>>96088732
Pass.

>>96088975
My blackpill is that even on here when female marines get finally added (lets be honest it's rather of when not if at this point), all that'll happen is that the threads will go past super fast for like 2-3 weeks, people will shitpost, some people will become mindbroken spam some weird shit. And then after that most of the people have it out of their system and then go bitching over some other flavor of the month shit again like rules being retarded or whatever.

It's what happened with female custodes.

>>96088870
Drilling the barrels is on the to-do list, the sponson guns are currently just held together with blue tack for the progress photo.

>>96089014
Yes there are, either you don't know or are just trying to be an asshole. Either way your can fuck off.

>>96089024
>why?
because that's the point of the setting
picking an existing faction is for people who can't picture an apple in their mind

I hope they do add female marines so I can model them being crucified and butchered. I'll literally cum every time I put them on the table.

>>96088996
The Black Templars are a Space Marine chapter known for their zealous and unending crusade against all forms of heresy, xenos, and other threats to the Imperium of Man. Unlike most Space Marine chapters, they do not adhere to the Codex Astartes and field significantly larger forces, conducting massive crusades across the galaxy. Their origins trace back to the Imperial Fists during the Horus Heresy, and they are known for their unwavering faith in the Emperor and their brutal, uncompromising approach to warfare.

That's the BT synopsis not your made up crap.

>>96089030
im indifferent to it but i dont think custodes are a good baseline for the shitstorm that would occur desu. space marines basically are 40k, wildly more popular

>>96089001
>star wars
Had outlived its audience long time ago and was dying before disney bought it.
>dragon age?
Same scenario as above.
>Ghost busters reboot

>>96089030
>>96089011
40k fans are the ultimate paypiggies, they'll keep paying GW no matter how much it keeps spitting on them. 40k fans will cope, seeth and dilate online before taking their moms' credit cards and buying the new kits.

>>96088996
>>96089044
both of you are saying the same thing

>>96088998
>what you think is irrelevant
Wrong.
BT aren't the norm and never were.
I'm not gonna bother reading rest of your drivel because it is blatantly incorrect.

>>96089001
>Star Wars
Much more costly to produce for 40k. GW isn't out there making multi-million dollar budget movies and numerous TV shows just to try and recoup money spent. Even then Disney didn't buy Star Wars just for Star Wars.
>Dragon Age
Hasn't been significant since 2, even then Origins still had gays and progressive themes in it from the start.
>Ghost Busters
Ghost Busters hadn't been relevant in years, and the larger issue is that the movies were heavily reliant on their cast. Even if they didn't go all-women the cast of a new one it would never have been as big as the original.

>>96089009
Saves even more time

>>96089024
It's kind of funny how the Codex Astartes is repeatedly stated to have a massive section about camouflage with a whole library of patterns for different environments but official art basically hasn't depicted Space Marines camo'd up since Rogue Trader.

>>96089066
>I'm not gonna bother reading rest
Yes, you are because you are that cucked and seething.

>>96089030
Same as the Wraithbone 'retcon'; people will make a big deal about it for a short period and then casually ignore it since it doesn't actually affect their minis.

>>96089053
yeah yeah its not real comunism/capitalism/fashism/religion it was never tried before bla bla insert here.

Every one is a nazi/commie/hippy/fasho I dont like.

just do a backflip

>>96089049
It is a good baseline for it because female custodes are the closest thing we have gotten to female marines to date.
Like people have joked that custodes are "just golden marines" for a long time.

>>96089089
Mad cause bad.

>>96089061
>
nope, his argument is that they are religious zealots. That a successor chapter of the og imperial fist cant be. having faith in some one and believing in some ones divinity are two whole different things.

Shit BT writers do that, Ultra marines had there fair share of shit writing. The lore guy for BT missed the spot by a light year.

Personally I think of all the shit to quit 40k over lore shit is the gayest reason to do so. Sure the ever inflating prices, wildly varying model quality, dogshit rules and game design, GW's rampant incompetence and greed, increasingly limited room for customization and flavor, them trying to stamp out any and all fan content, all that's fine. But a Custodes with tits, that's where you draw the line? It's not even the dumbest retcon in 40k but even trying pretend 40k has ever had consistent lore is insanely retarded to begin with. Honestly 40k fans are getting exactly what they fucking deserve, just like all the other consoomers who prop up franchies that should have died decades ago.
>inb4 post models
I sold them because I didn't have time paint them, but all of GW's bullshit has sucked any passion I had 40k out of me. They have a good home though, sold em to a buddy of mine who more actively hobbies than I do. If I ever get minis again it'll be secondhand and maybe I'll make a diorama or something. Honestly for the armies I wanted to make at the time the starter set I bought was kind of a bad deal, the Termie part was good but the Marine part wasn't as good for a Black Templar start.

Dark Angels have some pretty nice melee units with Inner Circle Companions and Deathwing Knights. While not religious they have the whole monastic knight thing going on. Also some of their succesor chapters have neat schemes, like Bringers of Judgement or Penitent Blades.
Most other succesor chapters are dominated by black, white/bone and dark green.

>Honestly 40k fans are getting exactly what they fucking deserve, just like all the other consoomers who prop up franchies that should have died decades ago.
8th edition was the litmus test for 40k, if you're still here after 8th edition you deserve everything GW is doing now.

>>96089328
its just one company with that he was asking about was a whole chapter.

>>96089347

The whole primaris marine thing is a direct contradiction of this idea.

>>96089269
>sucked any passion I had 40k out of me

>>96089269
>>96089282

>>96089427
The middle level starters always get stupid cheap towards the end of the edition. Keep an eye on secondhand right around the second last codex release. Price always drops like a stone and then spikes back up a few codexes after the new edition drops

>>96089444
In retrospect I'm glad I didn't get one because I never would have gotten my money back on it. I learned that lesson with all the card game shit I bought that's gathering dust.

>>96089441
This was never the idea you retard, where did you hear that?

You're a chump.

You shouldn't waste your time with hobbies if $300 would make you destitute.

>>96089441
You can still play with it forever. Legends exist and run totally fine. They're just rarely a meta choice. If the actual issue is owning older models then there is still plenty of options to still use them.

>>96088884
I only paint minis.
I have a small legion of Black Legion ,10,000k pointa last i checked, minis sitting in a storage unit right now.

>>96088873
the entire point of the 41st millenium is that the imperium has lost sight of the emperors vision, they have stopped advancing and instead regressed into a dogmatic theocracy carrying on rituals they no longer understand the purpose of, wielding weapons and armor they can no longer manufacture and thus become relics, and worshipping an emperor whos now forgotten edict was to cease all worship of anything ever, especially him

They should stop making new stuff so this guy can keep his toy soldiers current and valid forever.

they can still pull it of with the white scars. Mongols/Asian/native americans. They fit in to that whole design of mounted combat off the horse/bike back.

>>96089572
no they're not. none of those space marines are still alive, even most of the oldest veterans are only a few hundred years old except for one or two like that blood angels guy.

the only ones still alive who remember the emperors vision and edicts are the chaos space marines due to warp time fuckery or just straight up immortality, or the primarchs, at which guilliman woke up and the first thing he said is "holy shit these guys are missing the point ,they're worshipping my dad and they're all retarded, you fucks ruined it, what the fuck is going on also that eldar chick is hot"

trying to paint the space marines as some voice of reason is just straight up wrong. they are as dogmatic if not moreso than all the rest of the imperium. they wear seals of purity powered by faith in the emperor to ward off chaos corruption, they chant litanies of hate and fervor, their weapon is the holy bolter, everything about their lives from combat doctrine to equipment maintenance to battle prayers has been highly ritualized and embellished with their faith in the emperor as a living god, and reverence for his works as divine

>>96089784
Wysiwyg is for those who can't rotate the apple in their mind. As long as it's around the same size and on the same base as the model it's trying to represent then it's a fine proxy. Kill team is even easier to proxy for since you only have a handful of dudes to keep track of as long as your kill team members are distinct enough from one another

>>96090052
It's just a stuffed animal. Same thing that happened with tickle me elmo, pokemon cards and cabbage patch dolls is happening with the labubus.

>>96089961
I don't find EC to be interesting, aesthetically or otherwise. Frankly I think plain CSM and Iron Warrors have more character and things to talk about than any of the color wheel legons.

>>96087312
>the black templars one is good

It's absolutely great for everyone wanting to start a BT army, which I guess it covers what is basically those boxes' purpose.

But for literally everyone else those are models that people probably already have 2x the amount they actually need. There's absolutely nothing new or interesting, or some different models that might have had good reason to be there with the upcoming new codex. As things are, that box is indicating quite a stale future for Templars.

Imagine being a human who born 30 years ago on a Tau world which has just been "re-liberated" by the Imperium, and after the whole thing settles down you are assigned to work in the Administratum, and this is you new work computer, sorry "cogitator", for the rest of your life.
Any wonder so many people revolt all the time, just look at that fucking thing man, there's dead people in it. Imagine there was a few dead people in your workstation, you would think you are losing your fucking mind.

>>96090099

>>96089961
I don't even play CSM.

>>96090080
They engage in industry and daemonic machinery, they aren't brainrotted by worshipping a chaos god above all else, in the narrative they tend to have goals that make sense like taking forge worlds. They have some bitter intra-legion rivalry, they hire out to the other warbands and legions when there's something in it for them, they aren't constrained by hard lines of allegiance among the chaotic factions because they think everyone is a piece of shit, including other Iron Warriors. They make things and they do shit, more than can be said for the rest.

>>96087247 (OP)
TQ
Word bearers should be the main antagonists.

Dark Eldar refresh soon

>>96090125
Anon the imperium doesn’t “liberate” the population of worlds taken by the Tau unless they fought the entire time. If you world was held for ~30 years they’re just going to kill everyone for being contaminated by alien ideas and ship in a replacement population from some hive world.

>>96090209
There's that, and I agree I'd consider Orks to be the most likely, but there is also nostalgia to be mined on a Space Marines vs Dark Eldar box and GW is big into that at the moment.

Never understood this, the grimdark is the only reason get interested into the setting in the first place, without it it's just gonna lose the only thing unique about it.

White Scars versus Dark Eldar

>>96090175
>>96090283
>>96090287
>>96090293
they will NEVER put Dark Elder in a launch box because they make the starter boxes out of them aswell and you can sell a painting starter box with a futuristic looking solder fighting a evil looking creature like orc deamon or tyranid to a kid but no parent will pick up a box with a futuristic looking soldier fighting a half naked elf lady in fetish gear

>>96090094
My schizo theory is that daemons won't be squatted, but the existing kits will move to aos/tow and 40k will get its own daemons that are distinctly scifi. Gw doesn't like crossed model lines and it feels like a better investment to make the new daemons for their flagship rules system

>>96090317
Seriously. Loe are you actually going to tell me the genocide murder-psycho roided child soldier mutants are kid friendly heroes?

>>96090333
just fill it with the sleds, incubi, haemunculi, and their freaky abominations
maybe throw Vect in if you're feeling spicy

>>96090339
If they do that, the sculpts will be shit so I'm not interested.

>>96090333
maybe you haven't been paying attention for the last twenty years but none of the Dake Eldar models are naked ladies anymore.

>>96090344
They're visibly more heroic than most stuff in 40k. Grandma isn't reading a 12 book series to buy Timmy's gift, she's just looking at the boxes

>>96090333
You don't need any fetish crap, just some spiky lads.

>>96090094
It's gonna be ultras vs orks because 1. marines sell the best, 2. orks are one of the most popular xenos factions if not the most popular.

It won't be:
>necrons
Had a box in 9th
>cwe
Very recently got refreshed
>nids
Had box in 10th, so that's out
>csm
Also nothing to update
>cult legions
Doubtful, none of them really need anything besides WE
>GSC
just can't really see it and also too tyranid adjecent who had a starter box in this edition
>DEldar
Extremely unlikely due to what they are just thematically, also just not that popular at all all things considered.
Which matters because GW wants to maximize profit with starter boxes because most people buy into 40k at the begining of an edition.
>tau
What do they even need honestly? Can't see it happening.

>>96090351
Imo gw have put out some cool stuff for daemons in aos, I trust that they could do the same for 40k

>>96090142
SW got new models and recent releases, BT have 2 (two) """new""" miniatures announced which arent even in that CP.

They could have thrown in at least one of them. Furries get themed termies and BT get 6 years old models.

>>96090363
DE are only unpopular (by xenos standards) because like half of their range cannot be purchased

>>96090368
AoS get all the good sculpts, 40k has been getting garbage lately

>>96090094
my reasoning for it beeing grey knights vs deamons is because both model ranges are old as fuck and recently Wh40k popped off again in Japan because of Space Marine 2 and I was a interview asking players in Japan what the most popular faction is with new players and they all said Chaos Deamons because you can play them in WH40k and AOS. But this is all anecdotal and I have no number to back this up

>>96090360
That doesn't sound like dark eldar then

>>96090317
Internet exists nowadays.
All people need to do is see DEldar and google them.
And fact of the matter is that 99% people don't find cenobite elves who skin people alive and turn them into living furniture is not something most people find appealing at all.

>>96090363
>What do they even need honestly? Can't see it happening.
Tau have some old stuff that could do with updating. New fire warriors, new stealth suits, new crisis suits, new tanks.

People will hate me for saying this, but sword brethren are garbage visually. The only thing more garbage is everything that comes out of honored of the chapter.

>>96090379
>(by xenos standards)
They are unpopular by ALL standards, lets not kid ourselves here.

>>96090333
in your third world shithole maybe but where god cares fore this is a nothing burger you ameritard.

In Europe where gods chosen live and thrive tittys and naked imaginary elves are ok. try harder looser. Demons will never be in a box because of you crazy religious Nut Jobs.

>1.Statnic demons
or
>2.Sexy elven women that make your son straight

choice is simple

>>96090371
Traditionally new units are for battleforces, not CPs

What a dumb community

>>96090407
Yeah knight like space marines look pretty boring.
GW should do more stuff like the Raptors chapter.

They're the most neglected line by all standards too so his point still stands.

>>DEldar
>Extremely unlikely due to what they are just thematically, also just not that popular at all all things considered.
>Which matters because GW wants to maximize profit with starter boxes because most people buy into 40k at the beginning of an edition.
thats why you got always marines in a box.
What ever flavor of target practice they put in doesn't matter.

>>96090421
it doesnt matter if you think this is still the case we are talking about GW who dont give a shit about their old audience anymore and want to appease to fresh customers and those want HALO looking primaris marines fighting the DOOM looking evil creatures.

>>96090422
yeah but we arent getting that either kek

I think that'd be pretty cool.

>>96090422
sw are getting their new termies and wilfen in theirs

I'm sure that when I'm done building 2 chaos predators they'll immediately get squatted in 11th edition

>>96090473
Battleforces are a holiday thing these days. We don't get them year round

>>96090464
>CSM do the same thing though
Chaos marines are marines, marines sell the best in this game. You do the math.
Also nevermind the fact that it is infinetly easier to sell spiky super soldiers when most of their shit is "we want to burn and kill everything indiscrimantly. Kill the corpse worshippers!" than it is to sell evil spiky elves whose most shit is "yes i will skin you and your entire family alive and I will the forcefully mutate your body into a horrific parody of human form and then I will force to rape and torture your family while you have no control yourself and I will watch from my throne made skinned babies as you go at it and jack off while doing it.

Brain blast: an Order of the Sisters of Battle who are all an extended family as a result of ovum harvesting in the manner of the old Geno Five-Two. Genetic samples of decorated war heroes, Ecclesiarchal clergymen, and canonized saints are provided to the Order towards this end, meaning every single Sister has exalted blood in their veins. The matrons of the Order are of course also the genetic donor-mothers, and it follows that large contingents of the Order are sisters in blood as well as faith.

>>96087247 (OP)
I just finished reading dawn of fire: the silent king.


While I like that It neatly connects all of Haley's plots from the previous books I think it shows what I would call a disjunction in whatever body GW uses to write the lore.

It annoys me how the "major" plots of the setting keep jumping about with not rhyme or reason and the timeline keeps shifting.
Haley started off the new 8th edition era with the dark imperium books, set 112 years after the fall of cadia, but they then retconned it to 12 years later in the Dawn of Fire series.
The fight against chaos then gets sidelined in the 9th edition when the necrons get introduced, which gets sidelined again in favour of the Tyranids in the 10th.
Now the storyline is back to fighting the necrons and leading directly into the dark imperium novels.
The novel Belisarius Cawl: the great work again fucks it up since it occurs after the dark imperium books(but before the trilogy was finished) with Cawl fidgeting with necron shit again.
All these novels and plot points must have been written far in advance of their release so why the fuck is it so schizophrenic? I'm not even sure now where the blood angels and Lion/Vashtorr plotline fits into this
Wouldn't it be better to release dawn of fire with the release of the 8th, explaining how the indomitus crusade started, and the trouble with the necrons, then release dark imperium when indomitus ends, THEN go with the release of 10th and the new war against the Tyranids?

Many things could have been done better, I agree with you, but saying that after it happend is retarded. Some at GW should have had a general plan and time line set up. You know some kind of narrative rules that no matter what no writer can retcon even if its fits there story so well or makes there hero looks more bad ass.

if you want the gritty nitty detail of the gene engineering method, it's half the chromosomes of the order's saint, and half the chromosomes of the female donor, making them all generically sisters between each other and daughter with the saint, adding an element of immaculate conception because there's no man, and making it not cloning so we avoid the taboo
the only thing it lacks is the grimdark twist, perhaps the saint was captured by the ecclesiarchy rather than left of its own volition and they have her genetic material because they have her tortured body in some laboratory? the order would think the saint joined with the emperor after her martyrdom and ascension to living saint, while the truth would be that she never did and instead she's with the emperor only in a poetic sense because she's also interred into some eldritch machine that keeps her alive at great cost like the golden throne.

we can bring things to 12 if the orders' warsuits have a biological component rather than a mechanical one underneath the armour, for an overt rip off of neon genesis evangelion

>>96090906
Well that's entirely up to you and your taste, maybe you want to make it look like that underneath the paintjob and spikes and iconography it's the exact same machine rolling out of the Eye of Terror time and time again for 10,000 years.

Imperial Army regiment that got some spotlight in the HH books, one of the few fighting forces from the Unification that wasn't Thunder Warrior'd. They generate recruits with genetic engineering, and the process is ambiguously related to how the Emperor developed the techniques to create Space Marines.

That’s always good. I’ll admit I struggle with greenstuff. I think my gale force nine stuff isn’t very adhesive or I’m doing something wrong. I Love me some greenstuff beards hair and fur capes all the time.

The guy making his own ink washes is using a dakkadakka recipe not that one but it’s a good resource I gotta look at nonetheless. Thanks for linking me that.

>Typically, the Uxors were young women whose powers burned out by the time they reached the age of twenty-two.

Says who? We've had a coomfest, Female Marines discussions, Fascist vs Communist debates, your average dick measuring from general well knowns and ritual posts.

>>96091043
Not only that, but the uxors get their ovaries removed and it's explicitly stated that they use this to fuck like rabbits
Did you figure out that Abnett wrote it yet?

Greenstuff doesn't actually want to stick to itself unless its just been activated the longer it sits the less sticky it is. I've found mixing gs with miliput to be far easier to work with in just about every way

There was an incident during femstodes when one anon started spamming pictures of men taking shits. You’ve reawakened a warhammer 40k general memory I thought I forgot.

>>96091028
This has been attempted like 5 times across the past decade and nothing ever happens

>>96090893
the answer is black library is a sideshow and GW doesn't really care about it

>>96091063
Funnily enough that's more realistic than anything else written in 40k. If you spend a couple of minutes with any IRL soldiers you realize they only have 2 modes of operation; horny and lazy.

This is just a coomer version of the Death Korps

The creator of fourk thought the time to start such a project was best during that time. Turns out hate really doesn’t produce much if anything but maybe fourk inspired the battle bible project which seems to be going on quite well so far.

I still don't get the femstodes thing, they just announce it out of the blue, release a WH+ animation with one and then complete radio silence about the subject ever since.
Someone wrote here once that they suspect it had something to do with contracts with Amazon or something and they didn't really want to put them in in the first place

>have to give money to third worlders and also deal with resin
miss me with that shit

>>96091104
I think gw actually felt a bit of the heat and softly backed down on it. Lip service will be paid. The fandom spoke and gw had to listen. I also feel as though that decision was a compromise between “that crowd that demands change to beloved ips” to keep the change off space marines which keep the lights on at gw.

Got a chuckle out of me with the searing heat of cope steaming from that image.
The Heavy Bolter is not that big of an issue, U-mags and belt feeds go around things all the time. That's like looking at the nose cannon on a Bf-109 and saying "look at this shit, they just put the gun in the middle of the airplane clipping through the engine and propeller, how can they fuck up this bad?"

>>96091081
I would agree with you if it was only the books releases.

But they also structure the actual game releases like this too.

Wouldn't it make more sense to release it like this:

>8th ed, primaris and guiliman released alongside the new CSM models, have the plot be about the indomitus crusade to take back segmentum solar
>Orks Vs Space wolves release, new OrK and SW models
>Dawn of fire books follow the releases and the audience follows the storyline along with the game
>First phase of indomitus crusade ends, we get the new abaddon model and the Nachmund war subplot, Vashtorr teased and/or released
>Plot stabilised, maybe tease the return of the Lion

>9th edition release, Indomitus crusade ends and the plague wars begin
>Mortarion and DG release, along with bladeguard and pyreblasters
>SoB release
>Dark imperium novels happen
>Fulgrim and EC release
>Reintroduce Cawl tinkering with necron shit and tease Szarekh
>10th edition begins, start the Necron plotline and tie it in with the new Tyranids models and have the two fight
>As this is going on restart the Vashtorr plotline and reveal the Lion
I know it's too much to hope for GW not being retarded

>>96091210
Because no one is actually planning any of this.

GW hasn't said anything about Bananagirls, because they haven't said anything about bananaboys. Because there is nothing to say. They got their codex and pity character and they aren't getting anything in HH for several more months.
GW isn't just going to periodically remind people a faction between releases still exists unless there is a release for them in the near future.

Meanwhile, there was an entire episode about a fembanana completely untethered to Amazon.They are canon.
Try and cope all you want.

CSM will be next after Custodes. Creations of Bile upgrade kit will have female heads. Screen it.

>>96091028
Russians and Ukrainians are doing this for like 8 years already. And with the rise of 3d printing, this trend quadruppled.
