>Thread Question:
What sort of stories in the lore would you like to see featuring your favorite faction?

>>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?

>>96091238 (OP)
What the absolute fuck is happening on Zero.

>>96091286
>reposting this slop

>>96091303
I didn't get satisfactory responses the last time so you get to read it again fag

>>96091286
Black library has always been disjointed because it's a bunch of different authors. That's why people say to consult codex lore because it tend to be more consistent

>>96091315
That's because nobody, including gw, gives a shit about BL

vaults of terra books good?

>>96091286
no one cares
especially not gw
buy more marines

>>96091327
As I've said in the last thread even game fluff is disjointed by the strange release schedule
What interests me the most is that we know for a fact that models created long before they are actually released and so is the plotline.


So why the fuck is it still so disjointed?

>>96091238 (OP)
>>Thread Question:
>What sort of stories in the lore would you like to see featuring your favorite faction?
what kind of retarded question is that? It makes zero sense.

>>96091238 (OP)
>Thread Question:What sort of stories in the lore would you like to see featuring your favorite faction?
Literally anything would be cool. Preferably something where they lose horrifically again

>>96091348
Because the guys writing the fluff aren't designing the minis. They're two separate teams that just get random glances at each others work

>>96091414
>Kill the EC' duelist with the highest Lose to Win ratio
>killself
Explain to me why this wouldn't work

>>96091447
Slaanesh would just respawn him because it's funny

>>96091447
Slaanesh still brings him back for shits and giggles.


The ultimate irony of Lucius's immortality is that this extreme egomaniac has to spend eternity knowing he isn't the best, with the reminder of every single one of his failures permanently glued to his asscheek

whens the next dataslate

>>96091335
Yes, Wraight's atmosphere building is great

>>96091472
He can always take heart in the fact that they're most definitely suffering worse than he is.

>>96091473
Like, November.

>>96091447
You didn't kill him the right way so he still gets to respawn. If you want him permagone you gotta do him in right.

>>96091513
and even if you do it right Slaanesh just says fuck it and brings him back anyways because he's a named chaos character with a miniature which means there's literally zero stakes whenever he is involved because you know he's gonna respawn

>>96091542
so keep him inprissoned and in stasis

>>96091542
>even if you do it right Slaanesh just says fuck it and brings him back
Well no because then they'd have been mistaken. If it didn't work it's because it wasn't done right. The proof is in the pudding.

>>96091286
>>96091286
>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.
It wasn't sidelined, you idiot.
The Necrons starred in the start of 9th ED but they were cast aside very fast with the majority of campaign books focusing on Chaos and 9th ED ending with Arks of Omen which was a Chaos fest. Necrons didn't get much content in 9th ed past the start of the edition.
It's the same again with the Tyranids. They starred in the start of 10th edition but then disappeared, with Chaos being the focus again.
>Now the storyline is back to fighting the necrons and leading directly into the dark imperium novels.
Oh god. The fucking novel was filler. It's outcome was revealed months ago in a small paragraph in "Crusade: Pariah Nexus".

>I'm not even sure now where the blood angels and Lion/Vashtorr plotline fits into this

DoB happens shortly after the Plague Wars. Arks of Omen happens during and slightly after the Plague Wars.

>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?
Idiot, GW reversed their plans for the setting that they set in place in 8th ed.

The original plan was to create a timeline of roughly 100 years between the Fall of Cadia and the end of the Plague Wars, then fill it with events and releases. GW realized that it was a shit way of doing things since it killed all the hype so they rewrote the setting to be just a decade or so after the Fall of Cadia and adopted the dynamic storytelling of AoS for 40K.

>>96091327
>>96091371
Dawn of Fire was a joint project between GW Studio and BL.

Legion discussion.
>Death Guard
>Iron Warriors
>Word Bearers
the others need not imply, you are "broken/fractured legion" status that requires warbands to join you to do things and help from the three above

Which of these three true-legion sized forces are the strongest?

Which one is the coolest?

Which is your favorite?

khorne worshippers sniff butts and eat shrooms
black legion are actually black people
alpha legion is not alpha nor a legion
sons of horus are still a thing

>>96091598
ask /hh/

>>96091598
Word Bearers are currently on a crusade across the Dark Imperium led by Lorgar directly so them

>>96091598
>pic
How much money is that on the table? It looks like a student loan and a car deposit.

>>96091614
1/5th of that board is over 5000 dollars

>>96091614
Almost enough for the minimum deposit on a 90 year old house with deferred maintenance.

anybody have that pic of the text entry on svane vulfbad highlighting all the different wolfisms spouted off in it

>>96091598
>>Iron Warriors
Strongest and coolest. also most vanila one.

>>96091238 (OP)
>TQ
I would like to see the Dark Eldar actually plot and scheme and try to achieve something of any proper magnitude. Doesn't even need to be a book with them as protagonists. They're generally just as much fun as antagonists anyways.

>>96091598
none of those are legion strength, they're all fractured

TQ
The Severan dominate being confirmed to still be holding out there in the calixis sector or ideally having dominated it and now control it.
I have nothing new to post and I don’t feel like reposting images I already posted.

>>96091238 (OP)
>TQ
It would be nice if the Craftworlders could go get Isha out of the jar or launch a coordinated assault on the crone worlds to go on a spirit stone easter egg hunt. Something that is actually proactive and meaningful.

>>96091238 (OP)
>What sort of stories in the lore would you like to see featuring your favorite faction?
Honestly I don't even know if I want my faction to be getting more stories.

>>96092108
I feel ya anon. Knowing James story writing at bl and narrative it will either be terrible or mediocre.
And have main characters like the primarchs shoved in because corporate mandate.

>TQ
anything where the GK aren't depicted as murderous psychopaths or incompetent buffoons
i dont need mary sues, i just dont want retards

>>96092102
Sorry but Isha is for Russ to save.
CWE tried it in 8th edition and failed as expected

>>96092184
Codex Daemonhunters + the Ben Counter Grey Knights trilogy are the only canon I accept for them

>>96092093
It’s okay buddy, just keep painting.

>>96091621
I feel this joke in my fucking bones.

>>96092102
Isha should be killed by deathwatch

>>96092227
GW is going to kill Deathwatch first, I'm not worried lul

>>96092251
Deathwatch is more popular than Eldar in general.
GW doesn't even talk about Isha.

Nurgle should let Morty have a go at Isha...

>>96092283
Like a retard I was lurking a thread from 2 days ago.

>>96092272
So popular they almost got squatted this edition

>>96092297
Used to happen to me to when I was a newfag

>>96092283
He probably has. Typhus too, and any Death Guard Daemon Prince who wants a turn.

>>96092305
>Nearly squatted
>Public outcry actually made GW reverse the decision
>Meanwhile Eldar came and went, and nobody gave a fuck

>>96092324
so popular they got as many unique models as the Eldar clown subfaction

>>96092330
And they still sells better than Eldar who got full model-line update

>>96092330
Still their own faction, unlike Harlequins.

>>96092272
I play Deathwatch and I really dont think Deathwatch is more popular than Eldar, one of the most popular factions. I would say they are pretty even with Harles this edition considering we have both been squatted.

Deathwatch getting their index back was nice of GW, and its sad Harles didnt get that. But Eldar as a whole is one of the pillars of GW while Deathwatch has one of the lowest playrates of any marine faction and they filter new hobbyists by being twice as expensive because you cant make marines deathwatch without the upgrade sprue (and normies dont buy bulk recasts of it to make hobbying easier)

>>96092350
>Eldar, one of the most popular factions
Your falseflagging is funny, but only barely.

>>96092339
so popular they don't have a kill team, despite being the origin of the term "kill team"

>>96092350
>Eldar, one of the most popular factions
they're not even in the top 3 xenos armies, who are behind a massive power gap behind the imperial armies

I'd maybe buy an Isha mini.

>>96092366
Find a single metric that actually supports that
GT player counts always have Eldar and Tau around the same level, which is generally above Chaos armies unless they're super meta

>>96092378
>GT

>>96092378
>tourneyfag metrics
lmao

>>96092375
isnt that already a thing

>>96092343
So popular hardly anybody shows up to play with them

>>96091238 (OP)
Would it be heretical for a group of Guard to capture Eldar women from the Battlefield and keep them as sex slaves for a bit?

>>96092380
You both posted a questionable evediences so far.

>>96092422
>player polls and player game stats are questionable
>but meta-chasing faggots who make up 2% of the playerbase are SUPER reliable

>>96092414
Yes.

My White Wolf Knight ready for Priming

At least eldar aren’t chaos demons…haha…ah…

>>96092434
>>but meta-chasing faggots who make up 2% of the playerbase are SUPER reliable
Where did I said it?

>>96092461
>refer to grand tourneys
>where did I mention metafags???
why are nomodels larping as eldarfags always so disingenuous?

>>96092437
Aw.

>>96092458
No one plays chaos daemons

>>96092454
Why would you pose him like he's doing the virgin incel walk?

Hey dip shits. Aeldari was the 11th most popular in the last month, and 3rd most popular across all of 10th editon. Deathwatch is almost dead last in both. Stop posting 9th edition stats like they mean anything.

>Squat's Journal, year... Uh...
>After painting myself green, I have successfully tricked the Orks into believing I am one of them.
>For my own survival, it seems to work, though there are a few that have begun to question my Orkishness.
>I pray to the God-Emperor that this test they wish for me to undergo is passed, or this deep-strike mission will be for naught.

>>96092498
You can clearly see Chaos Demons are more popular than Aeldari right now and middle of the pack across all of 10th.

Chaos Demons are more popular than GSC, Sorotias, Admech and Drukarhi who are all "cooler" armies.

>>96092454
>>96092521
lmao his eyes are literally looking down like he doesnt want to make eye contact with the Chad Eldar Ghost Titan

>>96092553
mm, so you can't read your own data

Quick and dirty electropriests print. I'll touch em all up after I do the bases.

Post your own /WIP/s or recent models

>>96092572
hmmm I will vague post because I have no actual point to make hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yes Deathwatch is definitely more popular than the 3rd most popular faction of all time in 10th HMMMMMMMMMMM

>Brother Disco, activate the lasers!
>*Lasers explode from every port in the helmet as the Adeptus on the field begin headbanging and dancing to the beat.*

>>96092576
https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/548

>>96092594
Its the Excretor, because he poops on his enemies corpses forcing them to take a nyattleshock test.

>>96092576
Damn good paintjob and damn good taste in stls.
Dakkadakka? Wargame exclusive?

>>96092521
He’s not walking like a virgin, he is strolling back from battle after having slaughtered millions.

>>96091596

its proof no one likes mysteries, if they did they all should have been hecking excited at a century left untouched, however, no information means theres nothing to talk about

>>96092576
Love that little dude, looks awesome. So much of an improvement over the normal model.

Adding one more flesh/off white highlight before I start adding the purple Flawless Host markings. Still working out what purple to use.

>>96092630
Dakkadakka shock priests. There's 5 different poses, and you can flip them horizontally for a bit more variety.

How would you build a melee guard list?
I was thinking catachan squads with command squads + nork/ogryn bodyguard and a priest attached, plus plenty of rough riders and bullgryns

>>96092664
Thanks anon!

>>96092632
>Gallant-chan is so cute, m-maybe she'll notice me if I slaughter millions!
Guess again, lil bro

What armies currently are the most backwards compatible with 4th/5th edition? I’m guessing grey knights, maybe guard? Was imperial agents even a thing back then?

>>96092689
Space marines chaos space marines and guard. I think orks are too.

>>96092713
>spacemarines
all primaris now a days
>CSM
all upscaled
>orks
almost all upscaled too

>>96092720
you can make equivalents to every firstborn squad with current kits
and upscaled models do not matter at all

>>96092566
>Chad Eldar Titan
Said no one ever…

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>96092648
Really nice gradient on that thing, really satisfying

are there any fourth edition sloptubers?

>>96092773
Dark eldar more like fart smelldar lmaooo

>>96092796
Like people who exclusively play 4th?

>>96092576
I hope I can get half as good at fine detail as the average admech painter, this is really cool anon I always love bubble shaped helmets in sci fi. I am just working on my sacresants, still waiting for my basing stuff to get shipped.

>>96092689
You saw the battle bible project too?
I ain’t touching that place out of fear of ruining it somehow.

>>96092851
Theres been a fork of every past edition of 40k, they dont last too long

>>96092576
Old pic but the basing on this guy is done, so I am proceeding to assembly line block in colors for the rest of them.

>>96092838
Nice choice of colors. All it takes is earnest effort.

>>96092838
your sisters always look very decent for a beginner you should be proud, just takes practice like everything

>>96092831
Who cover it somewhat regularly. Or at least have an extensive playlist of it.
>>96092851
No, some fucker has been telling me to make an army for fourth at my LGS for a while and I just want to entertain the idea for now.

>>96092883
The obsession with older editions is a tg thing, the only people youd see doing it on YT are seething contrarians like Macca

>TQ
I jusr read the first book of the Gotrek and Felix series and it was a fun read. I wouldn't mind a similar treatment of the Leagues of Votann without having the annoying main character we got in A High Kâhl's Oath.

>>96092856
What stops fan made editions from getting the net epic or warmaster revolutions following and legacy support?

>>96092896
The last time they caught on they became one page rules

>>96092648
Man I wanna start an Emperor’s Children army so bad! The Pink/Black/Green combo is so sexy!

>>96092905
I guess he did it to avoid gw’s wrath?

>>96092910

>>96092918
Sorry don’t know you

>>96092865
>>96092870
Thanks anons. I am proud enough I keep wanting to buy and paint more considering I haven't painted anything since like 4th grade art projects lol. I love what I have so far, wouldn't post them if I wasn't, little pile of gold on my shelf and I only want it grow.

>>96092947

>>96091238 (OP)
>TQ
A SoS novel all about them without any 'stodes taking the spotlight, or any bananas at all.
A routine tithe pick up for a Blackship that rapidly goes south from a non-chaos rebellion would be great. Show the imperium in its full shades of grey, explore the PDF and local bureaucracy, the operation of the Blackships, the sisters working in an almost villainous role which is their regular duties.
You could even have SoS reinforcements from a formerly underground cadre, and go into how the sisters that remained in the Imperium drank the imperial dogma kool-aid where's the one that went to ground still are atheists, and rather bitter about the Imperium at large.

>>96093126
I’m gonna tattoo their forehead with the mark of tzeentch with my ass.

>>96092896
Almost everyone here who's autistic enough to make a fork also has weird preferences about units.

Like if someone did a Fork of 3th, they might hate primarchs and specifically not include anyone primarch tier

>good they shouldn't be playable anyways

and you can play that game with any unit or concept that exists, chaplain equivelants, fortifications, snipers

Wealth beyond measure, outlander.

>>96093144
God bless these skitarii genestealer cultist guardsmen everywhere.

>>96093144
Man, Necromunda has some great models. I wish I wasn't the only one in my local groups who wants to play it. For now I'm just a collector.

>>96093169
I know how you feel. I had a scene going for a few years at my LGS, we even had a campaign going with 10 players. But then the guy running it just one day decided he was done and we've languished for years without. Though a new guy has been pushing it with some fabulous 3d printed terrain, so there's always hope if someone wants to take that step to get the ball rolling. Like if you wanted to take that step.

>>96092883
Miniwargaming plays old editions with some regularity, not sure about how much these days but they used to.

Finished these skittles, ready for the tabletop, what're you anons working on?

>>96093259
Add me

>>96093271
you're in my fridge fyre slayer anon

>>96093282
I should be on the main fridge as well

So Plague Marines give Afflicted to their target after they shoot. And Plaguecaster gives Sustained Hits against Afflicted units. So PM the unit doesn't benefit against the Sustained hits unless the target is already Afflicted by something else right? They also don't get the benefits of the -1T or other plague effects for that shooting attack either, correct?

>>96093136
That's what happened with fourk. You'd have one guy who wants primaris in it, and one guy who doesn't. One guy thinks votann are fine the other thinks they don't work. One guy thinks every unit after 4th edition shouldn't be added, other argue what the point of having a homebrew based on 4th if it's just 4th. It's impossible to have a widely accepted homebrew because people will just go "Well if it doesn't have my favorite unit in it the what's the point" or will go "this ruleset doesn't have my favorite unit in it, I'm just going to make my own ruleset instead.

>>96093290
my fridge is the main one. It even has leftover chinese food in it

>>96093186
Oh I am. I accepted a long time ago that I have to be the one to step up and organize play if there isn't any happening. It's just that the people in my groups are simply not interested in Necromunda. I have a friend who wants to start playing at the LGS' during game nights to see if we can get some interest going by raw exposure, but at his work they picked up a couple of huge projects, and he just had another kid, so it'll be a surprise to both of us if he has any available time over the next year or so. I'm slowly working getting some other friends to release their deathgrip on the games they already play to try out Necromunda with me.

>>96093290
Why

>>96092576
I'll see if I can finish him this week/end, but I also should probably be focusing on my crisis suits for this month's collage.

>>96093250
Look nice but basing when

>>96091598
did he personally paint all that?

post some games!

>>96093433
No. People used to send painted armies to mwg because they would sometime namedrop the person who sent them. He painted very little of that

What is he reading?

>>96093457
I am curious if any chaos marine has ever given their thoughts on the codex astartes

>>96093457
It's giving pic related

>>96093377
The plasma turret makes it look like a Vulture MkII.

>entire army concept is being really good against daemons

they'll get a psyker phase at least haha.

>>96093502
I'll do the thing I like, stop being a pushy autist.

>>96093421
Been messing around with ideas, or rather a way to fulfill an idea. Trying to get a red sand/blasted red Mars looking base going but I'm not super happy with the results. When I nail it I have a bit under 2k of admech I need to base lols

>>96093505
Cool color scheme, I'll add them to the pool. Any particular love for melee?

>>96093504
He looks better than the dreadknight.

How do you fit 10 marines in here?

>>96093524
You don't. They get scuffed up and the paint will flake off them if you try and cram them in somewhere

>>96093524
Lay on top of each other

>>96093524
Stack 'em like logs.

>>96093497
Also I wonder how easily they could be converted into Word Bearers.
>champion could be a chaos lord easy, just swap the halo for the chaos star
>crusaders could be legionaries
>brethren could be chosen
>the bladeguard tho?

>>96093538
Bit expensive for a chaos conversion. Kinda pointless too. It’s a chaotic thought tho. Logar would stroke your ssshole for it, so be proud.

We should do flyers for the next collage. Not the most practical choice but it sounds like FUN

>>96093774
well they call it enhancement and depending on your detachment it can go up to 30 or 50 points.

you got two characters in that box

>TQ
None. I don't need GW to write me stories. I'll write my own.

>>96093788
Boarding action enhancements are free. Also what second character are you talking about, I only the the Emperor Champion.

>>96093646
45. and just take advantage of how the game tilts towards the list with fewer points

The most used detachment for every army is the cheesiest one.

How are Custodes doing in 10e? What are the big winners and loser among their units?
I got a Battleforce box and a Combat Patrol box ages ago but I finally have time to start working on them. It means I have:
>1x Shield-Captain (the ugly one)
>5x Custodian Guards
>5x Custodian Wardens
>6x Allarus Custodians
>9x Vertus Praetors
>10x Sisters of Silence
>1x extra Contemptor Dreadnought
>1x extra Rhino
It seems that I have all Custodes plastic kits beside Trajann Valoris and a Blade Champion. Is the spread good for building a decent list? Should I actually get rid of 3 Vertus Praetors and buy a Trajann or more Custodian Guard perhaps? Fielding more than 6 bikes feels crazy, I still remember them being game-breaking years ago.

>>96093959
I remember the custodians here saying they're tough to run without relying on forgeworld tanks

>>96093966
I won't touch reshit, ever. I'm fine with running a subpar list as long as I'm not getting auto-stomped by default.

We might be due for more primaris slop

Call me a grog but I think datasheets like this both look better and are more readable than 10th's card things.

>>96094193
I dont care who gets new stuff as long as it's something the players actually want for that faction. It's getting a little tiresome seeing meltdowns for every release for the past year or two

>>96094217
I can't read that, the writings too small

>>96094217
>Model is armed with X
>Any model may exchange X for Y or Z
>Any model may exchange Y for A
>But if you stick with X you can slap B on it on top of that
I always hated this formatting and I won't stop hating it. There are so many better ways of listing alternative wargear options.

>>96094237
Here, you dropped these

I feel silly buying miniatures that are older than 5 years

>>96094238
...that's even how it works in 10th (plus splits because different weapons have different costs so they group the options that cost the same) how would you even write it othwrwise?

I think sergeants of heavy weapons squads like devastators, havocs or retributors should be allowed to take a heavy weapon too.

>>96094261
what happens when one of your miniatures becomes 5 years old?

>>96094272
I don't think anyone would complain if you did that and house ruled it

>>96094272
sure, but only if the heavy weapon isn't the strongest nor the second strongest of the weapons available to the squad.

>>96094323
>The most veteran member of the squad should have the weakest choice avaliable
Odd

>>96094327
ok, then the sergeant can have the second strongest gun, but noone else in the squad is allowed to have the first strongest gun.

>>96094323
>>96094345
The point is for all five guys to have the same gun.

>>96094323
>Unit profile changes with the meta

Fem marines are coming. 11th will be the female space marines edition.

>>96094383
I'll take it if that means primaris are squatted and treated like a bad dream that never happened.

>>96094351
ok, then they all can have the third best gun, not the second, nor the first

>>96094424
Why?

>>96094431
to show you're not asking for a different equipment for the sergeant for minmaxing purposes

>>96094383
>>96094393

I prefer the 40k setting and the variety of factions it has. I just wish 40k had the same rules system as 30k. Though if they fully support 30k with translations for as many languages as 40k and 40k keeps doubling down in shrimplification I might end up jumping ship.

>>96094528

Valrak the wretched said new character called an archivist and a possible earthshaker weapons team or artillery.
Another rumour (from discord) said a whole wave of 9+ kits including a new battleline unit

>>96094963
I enjoyed it with some friends, but I don't think I would have done more than one or two completed playthroughs on the basic difficulty playing by myself. If you've played Civ it's kind of like that but with a heavy focus on fighting. It often goes 90-100% off though, so make sure to get it on sale if you do buy it.

>>96092789
Thanks! I’m going to be very careful with the final highlight to not overdo.
>>96092910
Yeah I love it, it’s such a departure from most other aesthetics. I’m really trying to nail a more fleshy, creepy pink for my guys. (Other reply isn’t me btw)
>>96093259
I’m honored fridgebro. I will most certainly do that.

Nearly finished the base pink on all of the army set now.

>>96095044
>Another rumour (from discord) said a whole wave of 9+ kits including a new battleline unit
Votann becoming bigger than several space marine ranges overnight would be a bit weird.

>>96094604
AP Mummy Robes mixed with Daemonette hide, and a thinned shade of druchii violet. Different generations of hybrid get different ratios of mix for the base layer and maximum highlight, obviously favoring more purple the earlier the gen.

>>96095104
Not if they are more popular

>>96095104
space marine ranges, except the one space marines range, have always been smaller than all other real armies.

>>96095116
Looking really good, I'm having hard time paint's consistency so the paint looks thick and not consistent. I haven't done any highlighting on these lads unlike yours where the face features really pop out. Saved for future reference, thanks broodbro.

How many mortifiers and penitent engines is too many mortifiers and penitent engines?

alrighty gsc bros, im probably going to start a second army any day now and im thinking of joining the cult. what unit is mainstay in just about any detachment? i want to get a unit to see if ill enjoy painting them. ill probably play Final Day but im happy to try any detachment out

>>96095329
I don't even play Eldar but they have and always had some of the best models in the entire game, keep seething

>>96095346
Anon Eldar don't even fit the aesthetic of 40k.

>>96095174
they are also very small ranges, what are you on about?

>>96095215
I posted it earlier after fucking up the polarity of the magnets, but didn't bother taking a new photo. This is how it is now, I kinda butchered the plastic to take the magnet out from the superglue. The base of the spotter looks like shit but it'll be covered anyway so I'm not too worried about it. I probably should drill a small hole for the magnet circled in red but the piece is so small that I'm afraid of fucking it up.
>>96095344
Achilles Ridgerunner goes in every other detachment, that AP-1 buff for your entire army is too good to ignore. Neophytes also get quite a lot of love for having sticky objectives and cult-ambush shenanigans. Purestrains are also pretty good now that they cost 2 points to recycle in cult ambush, they can do a lot from scoring objectives to butchering T3 infantry to pieces.

>>96095346
>I don't play eldar, but did you know they have the best range and are the most 40k thing about 40k and they should only sell eldar because they would sell more than space marines
eldarifags, you are fooling no one

>>96095350
the only ones who don't fit the aesthetic of the setting are marines.

>>96095346
>but they have and always had some of the best models in the entire game
And none buys them, ergo Eldar dragging 40k down

>>96095340
They are pretty good for the points cost and even better in Penitent Host. Honestly, they should add battleline to them in that detachment.

>>96095378
Marines ARE the setting.

No, they aren't.

Lmao

>>96095487
we most likely live on other sides of the world

>>96095445
Yeah it's a full-kit, the sprue has multiples of everything. For a unit of 10, you can have two heavy weapons (Mining Laser, Seismic Cannon, Heavy Stubber), two special weapons (grenade launcher, webber, flamer), 1 cult icon to revive dead models, and the rest with autoguns. You can only have one of each weapon so there's that. You used to be able to field 4 mining lasers in a unit of 20, now I run 2 mining lasers, 2 seismic, 2 webbers, 2 grenade launchers.
Some people take Heavy Stubber instead of a mining laser to wipe out infantry, because you can have 6 attacks with sustained hits and lethal hits and critting on 5+ and it adds up quickly but I lack anti-tank so decided to use Mining Laser. The 12 autoguns with 24 attacks do a lot already. I built the leader with small webber and power weapon because I like it's look but if you're going for min-maxing, give him an autogun.

>>96092102

>>96095639
As much as I would like to witness it I doubt it's going to happen since DoW didn't aged well

>>96095659
why do you hate children so much?

More chapters should be founded with Dorn's gene stuff. Their track record for successors is pretty great. Ignore Soul Drinkers.

>>96095639
FYI people dont hate Tyranids because of Space Marine 2.

>>96095681
My favorite successor chapters are Raptors, Blood Ravens, and the Dark Krakens.

>>96095696
Do you own any?

>>96095683
That's not like what happens in Winter Assault.
In the 'canon' of Winter Assault, the Eldar betray the Imperial Guard during the last mission out of spite and end up killing the Lord-General, causing the IG forces to be slaughtered by Necrons while the Eldar run away.

>>96095699

No, they don't, deathwatch is deathwatch.

So uh
How does splitting units work with Strat Reserves?
If I have an Archon, Court and 5 Kabalites in a raider and 5 Kabalites in a venom, does the game count it as (85+95+50+75) in reserves for 305 total or does it also include the full cost of the Kabalites?
If I have both start in reserves, is the unit counted twice?

>>96095681
What successor chapter, if not even fist founding chapter, can match the
A E S T H E T I C
of Black Templars?

>>96095725
easy: grey knights

Will Space Wolves ever get good successor chapters?

>>96094261
I feel searing rage at society's insistence that I treat you like you're a human

>combat patrols dont have vehicles in them anymore
What's the reasoning here
were they finding that building and painting a vehicle was too much of an ask for new players?
Did market research find that less combat partrols were fully finished when a tank was present in the kit and new players gave up too quickly
Did they find it easier to balance infantry only lists for combat patrol games
Is it too much of a revenue loss to include vehicles in Combat Patrol Boxes
Will the combat patrol boxes centre around a new gamemode that's infantry only

>>96094261
I agree, some kits like the old Leman Russ are just ugly as shit, we have the Horus Heresy update but obviously it's not the same

>>96095761
Vehicles are strong this edition. Promoting Combat Patrols means GW can then encourage new players to buy vehicles afterwards for EXTRA money.

>>96095761
>What's the reasoning here
The aim is to create an alternative game mode where the combat patrols are fine being pitched against one another and removing vehicles makes it easier to make the various sides not skewed due to points and/or the necessity of antitank weapons in the box

>>96095411
>It shouldn't be hard to realize that it would be dead.
Which speaks a lot about current state of 40k and GW's ability to handle it.

>>96095769
>>96095770
They should just balance vehicles differently in combat patrol
Drop their toughness to 5 or 6

>>96092669
I wouldn't but if someone put a gun to my head and forced it, I guess I'd fill it first with Bullgryn, then as many Rogal Dorns as I'm allowed to take for "fire support" and "tank shocking" then rough riders.

You're on your fourth hourly 15-hour shift (your foreman assures you this makes sense and nobody wants to argue over it) in the manufacturom when suddenly a humongous, truly massive mutant woman, as abominable as she is large, bursts out of a ventilation shaft, fixes her predatory eyes on you and shouts something about conquest of starch powder and overtime pay. What do?

>>96095716
nta but Deathwatch is made up of veterans from other chapters. So you can make each individual marine from a different chapter. So yes, they are Deathwatch but you can include your favorite chapters in the army.

>>96095606
Host of Ascension detachment gives you ignores cover and sustained hits one when you come from strategic reserves, and everything except for vehicles have deep strike army wide. You get a Primus, which gives full rerolls to hit and give him Chink in their Armor enhancement for giving his unit Lethal Hits when they come from reserves. You pair that up with Primed and Readied strategem, go crit on 5+. Now you have a big unit of 20 neophyes with lethal hits and sustained hits 1, full rerolls and ignores cover. You hit a target with a Ridgerunner to give your Neophytes AP1, and they just slaughter shit. If your opponent shoots at them, you can put the remaining models in strategic reserves again to repeat the same stuff. The cult icon to bring dead models back work when the unit is in reserves so you can bring up to 3 models while in reserves as well.
That being said they're expensive for a unit of 65pts, a slog to paint because even your most basic guy is full of details that have no easy means of painting. I've seen 2000pts lists that run 80 or more of them so good luck. I painted 40 of them and I'm done, and I have 30 more on sprue.

>>96095780
WOOHOO, OVERTIME!

>>96095780
40k is great because any faction that offers progress (revolution, power to the people) is a horrible space monster that will eat you when you are no longer useful. Nothing is good! Everything is terrible.

Chaos, GSC, Tau etc.

>>96095780
Cast of the shackles of the oppressors and join the revolution as we await the Day of Ascension together.

>>96095780
>shouts something about conquest of starch powder
>What do?
BACK THE FUCK OFF BITCH?!!??

>>96095798
I like to think that Eldar will just randomly abduct Feudal World peasants and bring them to their Craftworld just to see how humans would react to a complete utopia where the only rule is 'Take a bath twice a day' and 'Don't be violent'. Like as a science experiment.

>>96095798
>Tau
>is a horrible space monster that will eat you when you are no longer useful.
Also, when you are moving to Russia my fellow trad brother?

Man this is such a good video, I wish the Magus was lore accurate on the tabletop for being a powerful Psyker and so on.

>>96095815
In my headcannon there are a decent amount of humans and other aliens living on Craftworlds. 40k overshrimplifies factions. That's why I like Severan Dominate anon so much. I want 40k to explore minor human factions more. Color in the dark corners of the setting and show how wierd and diverse the 40k galaxy really is.

>>96095813
Those guys are very well painted and I like them a lot more than the khorne KT that just came out.

>>96095407
Using promo pics to make a point like this is very silly.

>>96095659
You will never be a dad.

So does the Rumor Mill confirm that Kharne is getting a refresh?

>>96095489
even in lego, they dont clean mold lines on guns...

>>96095761
Since Combat Patrol is supposed to be a game mode as well, vehicles are very hard to balance at the sub 500 points cost. The Death Guard got a Rhino in there’s though.

>>96095784
I know, it doesn't count

>>96095870
marines are just as silly in the hands of the vast majority of marine fans as they are in promo pictures, you're suffering from a severe cognitive dissonance when it comes to what marines actually look like

>>96095411
It would be more WHFB where all the big armor people are Chaos. Basically, the Imperium is all IG and comparable, all Marines turned to Chaos and are the Chaos Warriors equivalent.

>>96095894
Short answer: No

Long answer: No, it does not.

>>96095901
luckily you aren't an authority on anything, as you own no models.

>>96095931
luck is not in your side then

>>96095832
The Magus not having a psychic shooting attack is one of the weirdest decisions in all of 10th, especially as they did have good offensive psychic powers in 9th to draw on.

>>96095955
Come back when you've practiced English a bit more.

>>96095832
When is GW refreshing the Fatriarch and his pimpmobile?

>>96095930
>Chains in the wind
>Obvious skull of a khornate character
>Old Kharne Model was a guy in constant movement
>With chains in the wind

>>96095969
>says the projecting esl

>>96095985
Ah, yes, because chains and skulls could never be found on any other model in the history of warhammer.

>>96095995
Not that anon, but those spiked balls and skull ornaments at the end of the chain are similar to what Kharne has. I’d say Kharne is a safe bet, he’s due for a refresh as well, though that’s assuming those chains Kharne has aren’t shared by any other Khorne faction.

holy shit what a stupid fucking ruling
then rewrite Reinforcements to always pass battleshock tests
Make it so battleshock is removed when a unit is destroyed

>>96096033
no

>>96096033
>being battleshocked should affect my unit because reasons
sounds like you are a faggot anon

>>96096054
wtf you talkin bout bitch

>>96095957
>demo charges down to str9
>neophyte lasers down to str10
>new psyker model with s12 mind-blast
Just buff Magus already, I will not spend any money on Benefictus out of spite

>>96095681
IH need some new successors, the four pictured there have been around since before Salamanders started wearing green.

>>96096018
>he’s due for a refresh as well
not really, he's already in the updated scale, design cues and in plastic

>>96096116
>pre-primaris model
>looks out of scale with everything else in the WE range
He doesn’t even have a tactical rock….

>>96095681
>black dragons
>unknown
They said in a warcom article that they are Salamander successors.

>>96096113
Make up your own if you need it. Almost nobody cares for IH, they are boring.

Im excited for the reveals so I get to bitch and moan on /tg/ about it with other anons and also read and reply to their bitching and moaning. Complaining is fun

>>96096212
What are you hoping to see revealed that will have the most frothing rabid response?

>>96096212
That’s kind of sad

>>96096167
>>looks out of scale
that's not true in the slightest

>>96094963
its very boring and tedious and they dont explain the mechanics very well if at all

>>96096224
Not that anon, but I think only Pity Characters would be the thing that makes people mad.

>>96096212
jokes on you bitch, im going to be happy about whatever is revealed and I'm going to praise how good the models look unless they are Coteaz-tier bad, even I cant defend that

>>96096212
The deathwatch pauldron goes on the other side when the marine is back at his chapter.

>>96096224
It's more about what won't be revealed...
>no new marine codex or supplements
>really embarassing chaos model or sculpt
>getting the deldar refresh guy to keep his meme until the middle of the next edition with nothing substantial aside from a pity model
>none of the stupid hats meaning anything
>the only ones getting a significant are votann as we hear someone shrieking "DESTINYYYYYY!!!!" over the horizon the same way everyone heard the 13th Black Crusade was coming

>>96096253
are Sisters of Battle forced to procreate with Guardsman to create new soldiers for the Emporer?

>>96096244
The worst thing a person can ever receive is exactly what they asked for only to realize they actually hate it the way it was delivered.

>>96096266
DkoK Command Squad, except there's a Lord Commissar instead of a Marshall
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING

>>96095467
wots dis? an apocalypse game in the year 2020+

Should I: Do a Jackhal heavy World Eater army? Or do a Xenocreed army as a kinda counts-as chaos cult(Marauders are Acolytes, Traitor guard as neophytes, etc). I just want a horde of melee 'humans' and a few tanks I can put corpses on. I lean towards WE as I like putting a few daemon princes in there and can grab a few 'mutants' from AoS to counts-as helbrutes

>>96096266
>Sanguinary Guard tier refresh for every remaining release
Imagine

new one
>>96096288
>>96096288
>>96096288

>>96096224
Assault Terminator refresh but split into 2 kits and the TH/SS one is a 3 man datasheet.

>>96096224
Femstodes

I feel like every named character model should be stupid detailed. Like the Primarchs should be baseline for like, named lieutenants.

>>96095681
>Exorcists are an IF successor chapter
I will never not be mad about this

>>96096305
Primarchs can only get away with it because they're so big. Smaller models have to be less finely detailed by necessity.

>>96096238
His proportions are much more englarged than normal because models weren't printed in truescale just yet

>>96094814
>Destiny

>>96095839
Thanks gods, eldars are not idiots that much to turned their craftworlds into London

>>96095839
>In my headcannon there are a decent amount of humans and other aliens living on Craftworlds.
cringe idiot, you just want your self insert fucking an elfdari, FUCK YOU!

>>96097028
Brown hands typed this post

>>96096807
nothing in nu-40k is truescale still
