What was your most epic moment on the tabletop?

So there's like 7 new Malestroms now and GW has written nothing about any of them. Even though a single malestrom led to the Badab War and creation the most worthy inheritor of the Black Legion Huron

>>96161276
That's because nobody gives a fuck about the lore

>>96161252 (OP)
>TQ

my battlewagon deadly demised, careening onto the centre objective, blowing up a gladiator lancer which also deadly demised, blowing up an impulsor which ALSO deadly demised. cant remember what was left after that

>>96161285
then why have it at all?

>>96161276
its simple

>>96161310

IMPERIAL AGENTS EXPANSIIIIIIIION IS COMING TO TOWN! I CAN FEEL IT! 11ED
>TQ
The only time I ever won agaisn't a friend's Custodes army with my IA using the Ordo Malleus dettachment and a sisters team I have recently been painting. I could have cried tears of joy but that would be even gayer than being a nogames nomodels ritualposter now wouldn't it

>>96161293
As background for plastic toy soldiers game, that's all it is and always was

how much lower must admech play rates fall before gw realizes they've fucked the admech aesthetic and course correct

>>96161350
They aren't marines so no one gives a shit

>>96161252 (OP)
>TQ
Once had a unit of repentia charge a Terminator squad + their general and dismantled them all, only losing two girls in return.

That's also the only time my Repentia have achieved anything except being bullet sponges. I think they burned all their good luck in a single battle and have been rebalancing the scales since.

>>96161276
I keep forgetting they did that, to me Cadia is still there, Armaggedon is on its second Gaz invasion and primarchs are old normal sized dudes from legend.

The emperor? Does he even exist.

I mean if they keep having these END OF TIMES events it means there's a lot of retards who buy loads of minis when there's one.

>>96161252 (OP)
>TQ
Rolling 14 consecutive 4++ saves to win a game

>>96161350
get a new script already, faggot

>>96161350
You're playing his game, 40k is his domain.

>>96161350
AdMech have had enough attention this edition. GW have proven they can't fix them and don't know how. They'll just scrap them and start over again next edition.

>>96161276
It wasn't the malestrom what caused the war, it was unironically taxes and upper management incompetence

>>96161338
The malestrom is some map for the tabletop? What does this mean?

>tfw my grot tanks turned up today

They are gonna look amazing when painted, shame they are legends but should be fun in casual games

>>96161386
based

>>96161386
>shame they are legends but should be fun in casual games
If you really want to play them try offering your opponent a chance to play a legends unit as well. If your opponent doesn't have a legends unit try offering to play against a homebrew stat'd unit in exchange for letting you play your legends unit. This is what I've seen happen at the LGS.

>>96161386
just kitbash them. grot tanks are literally the most easy thing to build from old toy tanks and trash from the drawer. it's even easier of you already have ork bitz

>>96161276
AOS somehow has better mpas because I cant tell what the fuck im looking at here

>>96161418
I don't see what the fuss is about. there are still rules in 10th edition so why not just play what the rules actually allow for?

>>96161418
Oh my lgs doesn't care they are more than happy to allow legends units, just not for competitive events. Most of the time the people i play against dont use them as their lists are almost always focused on competitive play

>>96161433
>there are still rules in 10th edition so why not just play what the rules actually allow for?
I thought he meant there is only legends rules for the models he wanted to paint.
So I highlighted an LGS culture thing that might work. So he can field his tanks.

>>96161421
Not sure how this relates to my post, I've already got them anon, why would I want to kitbash more?

>>96161434
Sounds really comfy, anon. I hope you have fun!

>>96161441
you can never have enough grot tanks. those and the mek gunz are the closest we can get to fielding a gobbo army in 40k. on a related note I'm gonna commit an act of terrorism if we don't get a non-christmas themed red gobbo next edition

>>96161350
They just double-downed on Votann so I wouldn't hold your breath if I were you.

damn tyranids are pretty fun to paint. super fast and easy. fuck space marines.

Can I make a tank heavy admech army work?

>>96161485
There's a reason Tyranids and Necrons make it into the starter boxes for newbies and other Xenos don't.

Are space marines virgins? Do they ever get pussy in their entire lives?

>>96161489
AdMech only have one "heavy tank" in the Scorpius and it's kind of shit. And their medium walker tank is an infantry buffing piece.

>>96161499
pretty much all evil xenos have been in a starter set

>>96161504
They get duty and honor and hot brotherly passion they are grossed out by pussy.

>>96161276
can't wait for 13th edition when we finally get some real lore about nihilus

>>96161504
No

>>96161504
they're eunuchs

>>96161529
draigo draigone?

>>96161504
They don't desire sexual intimacy because they get transformed into marine and that psychologically and chemically castrates them, so no, they never get pussy, at best they got sodomised while kids on their homeworlds, since they often come from primitive warrior tribes, or get molested during their formative years as marine in training by their superiors.

>>96161514
>evil xenos
tell me you play smurfs or salamanders without telling me so

>>96161534
Draigo will return in avengers: armageddon, phase 5

>>96161534
with the servitors and techmarine, yah.

>>96161518
Honestly every edition I expect them to seal the great rift because it's basically done fuck all for the setting beyond giving writers an excuse to ignore half the galaxy and focus everything on a few key points. It's like now rather than the factions being able to be involved anywhere in the galaxy and Cadia being the front line between the Imperium and Chaos, we now just have two cadian gates and every faction is crammed in to both. Not to mention it's apparently super important to get between Sanctus and Nihilus despite the major events happening in Nihilus can be counted on one hand from when the rift opened.

So is it almost certain that orks make the 11e starter box?

last im gonna share.

>>96161560
Yeah, orks vs dark eldar (refresh soon)

>>96161553
>>96161563
im not straining my eyes to read this shit

>>96161560
god I sure hope so

>>96161546
I play neither, I'm just not dumb enough to put tau, votann and eldar in the same bucket as dark eldar, orks, necrons and tyranids.

As intro products, the two factions in the starter have to be easily digestible at a glance as "the good guys" vs "the bad guys" to a complete outsider, regardless of what's "akhrchually correct by lawr", and tau, vot and normal eldar will never cut it.

>>96161560
I really hope not

>>96161553
I got one of these bad boys, I think I am going to make it a Space Wolf tho with another Wolf Head.

>>96161588
don't forget the space wolf decals

>>96161560
ye

>>96161560
I say it's about 50-50. It would probably make the most sense though.

>>96161585
NOOO the tau are evil dont you know about this single non canon interaction in a video game from 20 years ago where they did something mean

>>96161504
They get groomed while still boys, sadly. But don't worry, they can spend their days oiling up and wrestling with the big beefy men they cohabitate with.

>>96161477
Destiny has won...

>>96161566
>two xenos armies

Imagine the seethe from the marinefags

>>96161585
>orks being evil
>nids being evil
you fundamentally misunderstood both, especially if you distinguish them TOGETHER with crons. orks have no concept of morality and are literally engineered to be efficient. nids have no concept of morality and literally just want to eat. comparing the dynastic hirarchy of necrons with the hirarchical caste system of the taus, you could argue that those two factions are mich closer

>>96161615
someone would burn down warhammer world for sure

>>96161276
I thought there was only one maelstrom

>>96161558
>Not to mention it's apparently super important to get between Sanctus and Nihilus despite the major events happening in Nihilus can be counted on one hand from when the rift opened.
I mean, half of their empire is on the other side

>>96161615
I would have the heartiest kek since they revealed the baby carrier

>>96161629
necrons aren't evil, retard
they're the good guys

>>96161629
>you fundamentally misunderstood both
No, I don't, you fundamentally misunderstood what I said, mr."that'snotakhrchuallycorrectbylawr"

>>96161592
Obviously

>>96161633
you'd think they'd care more about the other half of the empire but it seems like only interesting things happen in the half with Terra

>>96161585
personally I believe kroots would be distinguishable enough for a starter box enemy. it would be a great opportunity to give them proper units

>>96161538
>At best

>>96161615
>two xenos armies

>it's actually abhumans in power armours vs guardsmen with purple foreheads

>>96161629
>Orks have no concept of morality
They absolutely do, it's called might is right. That's pretty much the foundation of their entire social hierarchy.

>>96161651
if you read my post you could have gathered that I didn't claim that

still love your retarded ass, anon

>>96161653
what have necrons in common with orks and nids? that they look "evil"? that they are xenos? seriously, what made you think orks, nids and crons belong in "the same bucket"?

>>96161665
yeah so morality isn't actually a thing since what is moral can change on a whim. morality has a perpetual permanence unchained from physical technicalities

>>96161667
I love you too, babe.

>>96161676
>that they look "evil"?
yes, that's literally what I'm saying, they're spooky scary skeletons (robot)

>>96161660
they JUST got a refresh chill tf out BRUH

>>96161563
could you post kaldor draigos page, wanna know if he has a model on the datasheet

Damn no one cares for grey knights

>>96161712
Doesn’t exist no mo

>>96161701
by that logic votan are marines since their power armor looks the same. or tau and guard are the same since they have rifle dudes and artillery

>>96161660
I think they're pretty good, they would need mostly one or two centerpieces and some heroes, more than anything that a starter can offer.

if tau were in a starter I'd not focus on kroots or tau, but vespid and other weirder looking alien enemies, halo primed a lot of people for that.

Xenos Faction Ranking in terms of awesomeness

1.) Necrons
2.) Orks
3.) Eldar
4.) Tyranids
5.) Dark Eldar
6.) Tau
7.) Votann
8.) Grey Knights

>>96161714
>grey knights vs dark eldar

Is reasonable for the starter box?

>>96161722
so its just blank, interesting. Yeah I figured he was gonna be an end of edition campaign release

>>96161731
it would be Deathwatch vs Dark Eldar

>>96161709
are any of them good tho?

as a taufag i could not care less about kroots
vespids are alright through those are my niggas

>>96161731
No because both of them are hard to play and paint
And not Ultramarines

>>96161504
Space Marines ritually get raped as part of their training and are taught to rape. This is how the gene seed works.

>>96161734
don't give the refresh poster hope. that's about the most realistic scenario

>>96161746
>This is how the gene seed works.
MPREG?!?!

>>96161724
it's funny how tau are supposed to be a coalition of different xenos and there's only 3 of them

>>96161252 (OP)
In my headcanon, at least one SoB or SoS has suffocated someone with their ass.

>>96161751
giving him false hope that turns to despair is what the dark eldar would want to happen

>>96161723
Ok?
Are you new to the concept of sets and subsets?

>>96161689
No, Orks have a very stable understanding of what is "proppa Orky" and what isn't. Bloodaxes are looked on with suspicion because being a sneaky git doesn't adhere to Orky morals. If anything, Orks have the most rigid set of social expectations of what is "right" and what is "wrong" in the whole setting.

>>96161754
They would be in a better position if they could at least take some votann units as demiurgs allies, some guardsmen units as guevesa troops, and then had a generic auxiliary officer unit profile for anyone to convert their weird alien of choice as lone operative or hero to attach to units.

But GW is allergic to cross compatibility and conversions nowadays.

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>96161799
There were guevesa rules in third, but no one ever used them

What's could be a new chaos army that's not marines?

>>96161812
Traitor guard/bloodpact

Anyone recommend some good recast websites?

>>96161812
Dark Mech
Traitor Guard
Agents of the Warmaster

>>96161820
>traitor guard
You just reminded me. Beyond looking cool and badass is there a reason for why traitor guardsmen end up taking the appearance they typically do?
Do armies in real life start to look morbid when strict discipline wanes?

>>96161846
because they're chaos and have to meet the brand requirements

>>96161812

I'd say Chaos Votann but after how badly the latest AoS release went I wouldn't wish that on the 2 Votann fans in existence.

There's painting techniques I want to try when I get everything ready. But I need to get down which is the best primer for airbrushes first.

My base idea for 'spider models' is that they're not going to use my Red scheme, purple shadow and pink highlights (cartoony style). So i'm probably going with a slapchop approach with a white and gray shadow with a overlaying color like a yellow. It covers details and doesn't let detail rise too much.

I was planning on highlights tapped on by a light sponging rather than a drybrush tap for spiders, since I can pick the top end of the round limbs easily that way. Yellow may not make it past my testing but I've decided on a bright color that isn't red. So black details on the abdomen and eyes would be the finisher.

I was looking at common terrain and how people "fly through making it" and I see a lot of greys and dark tones and with all the legs would pop out and look menacing if they were a yellow, orange, white or pink model. If they were on a snow terrain, white would be out. So yellow/orange is the theme.

I'm assuming the models are too small(small parts) to get a proper color shift from the color shift paints. That would blend in the legs too much because most of them are dark or would seem dark.

So I hear about chipping, sponging, drybrush techniques. I'm looking for technique ideas to start during my testing phase.
>I will be removing paint on test models to repaint them
Someone complained I post my models too much so I'm posting a frequently in stock website that takes 1/7th the price off most of their 40k.

>>96161846
>is there a reason
the one you give them

>>96161868
Chaos Votann would just be some units under a Dark Mech faction

>>96161821
silence james

So why are necrons soulless abominations to the techpriests is that not basically their ultimate form all metal no flesh I don’t get it

>>96161884
they weren't human and thus are abominations in the eyes of the machine god

>>96161252 (OP)
Has the Lasgun always been shit?

>>96161560
It's gonna be orks or dark eldar, orks feel more likely. Outside chance of a chaos god-specific legion like WE or EC or TS.
No one else needs refreshes or 2nd waves.

>>96161869
From above I think the legs would look nice in a bright color with a bland gray/brown stone and sand base.

Not sure of the yellow or orange I might use. I want to avoid looking like a common spider toy though. So menacing marks on the abdomen might be fun. I may just cut up a sponge and make a stamp with a pattern cut into the tape around the sponge. To make it super easy to put marks on the all-exactly-sized abdomens.

>>96161888
Okay so sticking your soul in a box is fine?

>>96161276
Fat Fuck Planet of Corpus Bretheren, Tyranid Megamind Brain Planet or Pale Wasting of Ghoul Stars are both thousand times more interesting than Yet Another Warp Storm.

>>96161908
One of the requirements of being in the starter box these days is needing a battleline unit resculpted. If it is chaos, TSons are probably the only real option because the rest are all post-8th edition redesign. Orks might get new boys again even if they are new just because nobody likes the new boys kit.

>>96161898
2e lasguns had AP-1.

>>96161921
if that box was from an officially sanctioned STC then yes

Why are they the absolute best?

>>96161932
Tsons could always get the EC treatment and make rubrics a bit more elite and have fleshchange failures as their actual battleline

>>96161932
Rubrics are fantastic, they don't need new sculpts

>>96161953
Due to the small mind's tendencies towards indefinite archetypes

>>96161958
Rubrics can have -3ap on their bolters with rerolls. They're battle line. They can have predator annihilators, and they're done.

>>96161921
No you can’t stick your soul into a box but you can turn yourself into a box there’s a critical difference

>>96161953
t.nazi sympathizer

>Imperials lose every engagement like Pariah Nexus
>Only named characters that die (Tycho, Yarrick, Creed, Draigo) are Imperials
>Empire got cut in half

Can we have some of the short lived Tau characters die or an Ork dying instead of magic ressurection

>>96161884
the techpriests have dogmas against thinking machines and against alien machines, and have a fervent belief regarding the sanctity of human souls and the spirit of the machines.

necrons are aliens, so they're bad
if they weren't alien, they'd still be bad because they're soulless
if they had a soul they'd still be bad because the admech is hypocritical regarding what counts as a thinking machine and what counts as a human soul in a machine, and would likely consider the necrons abominable artificial intelligences instead of a pure transhuman ascension, if not due to any proof of the matter, even just out of spite, envy or fear of losing their own primacy and place in the status quo of the machine cult.
they're fundamentally a conservative cult, they believe that no matter the amount of augmentations and surgeries and inhuman procedures and transformations you force your body to go through, there HAS to be a part of yourself for your soul and humanity to be preserved, just to be sure.

of course that's a source of problems, they do think the flesh is weak and to he abandoned, but they also don't know how to abandon the flesh completely without becoming arguably heretical beings, all that is a source of theological and practical discussions and ethical arguments and personal frustration and covert violations from individuals who think they know better.

>>96161962
Yeah, honestly none of the cult legions really need much in the way of replacement models. They just need MORE models (DG excepted).

>>96161974
>go into WW2 thinking it'll be an honorable war like WW1, taking prisoners and offering them to sit and have lunch
>turns out like hell, leader is a psychopath murderer with brainwashed minions
>90% of the dozens of assassinations are currently serving nazi troopers

>old man does it for 40 years and finally gets told he can't do it anymore

Germans loved america before WW2. Don't believe the propaganda. They were kids that wanted to be like their dads in WW1. Hitler fucked it up, and did it all wrong. Absolutely everything wrong, and bad. Don't follow evil leaders.

>>96162003
Only Imperium can have a rotating cast of characters in models. Xenos and Chaos are static and cannot be changed once established.

>>96161953
They were made in 3rd edition specifically to reinvent marines so they fit the way the aesthetic of the imperium has changed from rogue trader and 2nd edition.

The other marines still cling to the awkwardly out of place sleek cleanliness of the more conventionally sci-fi designs of 40k in its beginnings, or have their own special snowflakey theme that marks them as out of place amidst the standard imperial aesthetic as a furry deviantart OC amidst a pack of photorealistic wolves.

>>96162050
how convenient that the asian faction comes from the area the imperium has designated as the east, isn't it?

What's the deal with sisters? They got a really nice refresh in what, 8th? But then the follow up wave with the stupid arm robots was kinda mid, and since then they have basically felt like an afterthought all through 10th.

I think they got one of the worst bait-and-switches in 10th, first with Eldar getting their faction rule but better in the indexes and then 2nd with getting their book nerfed into the ground within like 2 fucking weeks lmao. I guess Orks got the same shit

Crazy how Chaos Knights players bitched and moaned about -1T amd are now one of the three excessively dominant 70% non mirror factions.

>>96162088
Their range is done, they're not meant to be getting anything else.

>>96162107

>>96162088
GW plans out releases, so in 8th if you remember Eldar got a spirit seer, 9th they got wave 1 and 10th they got wave 2

Sisters likely have shit in waiting but GW is holding off on it

>>96162092
I mean people did the math on the wounds being better than the T straight away and for some reason everyone just ignored it.

I learned in 3rd edition that I could use my 5 rhinos to tank shock armies in half and focus my 50 chaos marines on one half at a time. I would just need 2 of them to do it mostly, so when my other marines caught up it was over.

I started using the Land Raider in the mix to protect the rhinos and my deathstar was formed. I learned it before others showed it off online.

Brother, we just have to tough it out and hope for better days ahead in 11th edition. I know it doesn't feel good, but I think they understand how badly they bungled it, but short of a full rewrite I don't see a way they could fix it.

>>96162050
You know that is a real thing, right?
You know we have actual designations for galactic north, south, east, and west, right?

Good stuff. Keeping them in one piece can be tricky but nothing beats the literal weight of these things on the table.

>>96162050
The milky way is roughly spiral disc-shaped, with most of its space dust and shit contained with a narrow plane, it's three dimensional obviously since its space but it's wayyyyyyyyyyyy flatter than it is wide, so you still have north/east/south/west directions on the galactic plane and then you can be above or below it (there's even that 40k image showing all the nids coming up from beneath the galactic plane). The gas plane is a few hundred to a thousand light-years thick but is like 40,000 light years (heh) wide before density of stars starts falling off and you get to more empty space

>>96161489
Depends what you consider to be a tank.

Dunecrawlers are deceptively tanky, between their 2+ and 4++. You could give them the eradication beamer or the phosphor cannon to clear infantry, if need be. Disintigrators shoot pretty well.
If you expand the definition a bit, you can include some Kastelans, which are pretty tanky and can do some serious work in melee. Give them an enginseer to follow them around and give one a FNP (honestly, if you're building a tank-heavy Admech list, you should probably have several enginseers dishing out this buff). If you want to expand it further, throw some ironstriders in there for relatively inexpensive units to move around and stand on objectives and lob decent shooting into targets. You'll probably want some ibmnfiltrators or Pteraxii to do secondaries. Your pick of whether you run it as Haloscreed or Cybernetica Cohort, a decision you should make based on the stratagem support (or enhancements, I guess) you want. Personally, I like the flexibility of Haloscreed, but if you like the look of cybernetica better, then just remember that all its strats happen in the command phase.

>>96161511
He meant tank-heavy, not heavy tanks. Also, the dunecrawler stands alone pretty well, but you're right that the shield ability is definitely is a bit squandered if you don't bring some Skittles to stand near it

>>96162128
Toughness means nothing in a game with rerolls to wound and +1 to wound and a super simplified toughness chart. You can wound a warhound titan with chainswords just by charging them with something that's got Lance and rerolls, even ignoring all the other shit like lethal hits skipping wounds entirely, grenades and such as easy sources of mortal wounds, and all the buffs and stratagems each faction has

>>96162267

>>96161276
>and GW has written nothing about any of them.
Because it doesn't matter.
All the fluff, the games, the books, yes both codexes and BL fluff, is pure pulp. It's filler and only exists and only has ever existed to facilitate the sales of plastic toy soldiers.
GW has done nothing with it because they know that nobody gives a shit besides like 3 autists on anonymous finnish fishing fleet forum.

>>96162370
>What's the deal with Chaplains?

Don't tell him. It's a bot.

Oath of Moment should have stacking buffs that get stronger the most targets you kill.

>>96162370
Open a fucking codex or a wiki man, Jesus.

>>96162405
Sounds very chaos coded. Pretty sure Slaanesh and Khorne have both had that mechanic. Also Drukhari with pain tokens.

>>96161276
Make your own fluff about it. Not like there’s anything to say you’re wrong.

>>96162437
Grey hunters don't have it either though, and neither do wolfguard or the new definitely not wolfguard. It looks too sterile without all the gold bling.

>>96162370
Chaplains aren’t psykers. Just very good public speakers and more or less SM military police. The buffs they apply to units have more to do with using psychologically implanted code phrases to amp up the marines they work with via sermons. Chaplains can vary wildly based on the internal cult fotnhe chapter they belong to.

On the tabletop their abilities almost feel like superpowers. Codex lore states what you all say but the reality looks more like SoB miracles >>96162384 so I was curious if they do have some powers or not.

Is pastel pink underappreciated?

>>96162460
They have the bling you're talking about. Just not the fresh out of scout duty Wolves.

>>96162495
Considering how mysterious technology is to most Imperials, a of course it'd look like magic and I'm sure this is used by the chaplains to their advantage. Just like how Vandire converted the proto-Brides with a hidden shield generator.

>>96162554
no, the EC model range just sucks

>>96162482

nah not really

>>96162554
They need bespoke termies and tanks so bad

Is it cringe to make your own chapter or should I just stick with the established ones?

>>96162591
no, it's the heart and soul of the setting to homebrew

>>96162591
Anything that isn't ultramarine is cringe.

>>96162591
making /yourdudes/ is the most based thing someone can do in the hobby

>>96162555
I know its a minor gripe, but they just don't hit the same imo. I still like the new models and I know they probably did it to make them easier to paint. I'm just gonna end up mixing some of the older bits in to my new grey hunters and wolf guard. Tbh space wolf pack, blood angels tacs, and genestealer cult neophytes are probably the best kits gw has ever made for army bits.

>>96162578
WE always were a joke in the community. Angron was and still is considered the worst Primarch and the cuck of the bunch. Isn't he like the ONLY Primarch who didn't conquer his planet? Hell, he even ended up a slave and Big E never gave a shit about him. Fulgrim on the other hand was one of daddy's favorites.
As far as the nodel range goes only Berzerkers are acceptable but considering they uave 1:1 same poses as assault primaris, seems like even GW didn't give a fuck. Everything else looks like total garbage worthy of the jobbers who the WE are right now.

>>96162568
People have tried that it looks ass

>>96162591
If you're painting anything but Ultramarines with the signature gilded rims of the 2nd Company I'll personally launch your dog into the sun.

That's mortarion, or perturabo if you go by how his own legion views him

>>96162636
you mean curze

>>96162636
Shouldn't Ferrus Manus win on both counts?

>>96162610
bro has never heard of tragic characters before

>>96162644
curze is lame but he wasn't hated by his own god and ignored in favor of his second in command

>>96162647
who?

>>96162554
No, it's revolting

>>96162636
>That's mortarion, or perturabo
At least they both conquered their own home worlds and led their legions more or less properly. Angron couldn't do anything, was Khorne's second or even third choice (after Blood Angels and Space Wolves) and ascended to daemonhood not due to some accomplishment but because Lorgar begged Khorne to save Angron. Even after his ascension he's a joke. He's a mindless beast created to lose (due to his respawn mechanics)

>>96162680
>was Khorne's second or even third choice (after Blood Angels and Space Wolves)
nu-lore, ignore

>>96162606
Anon, let's just count our blessings, alright? Look at what happened to Blood Angels. We dodged a MASSIVE bullet.

>>96162680
>At least they both conquered their own home worlds and led their legions more or less properly
mortarion nearly died to the atmosphere alone and would've died for sure if the emperor didn't show up and do his job for him
perturabo was so bad at running his legion he had the most loyalist holdouts of any traitor by several magnitudes

stereotypical vikings with horns and lots of drakk iconography.

Could there be a Navigator Inquisitor?
Or an Admech Inquisitor?
Or any other abhuman Inquisitor? Like Squat or Ratling?

>>96162751
no
no
extremely unlikely to the point that it's not happened yet

>>96162751
no
no
no

>>96162751
No. Probably not. Maybe if you count psykers and blanks as abhuman. No. No.

>>96162751
A blank inquisitor for the ordo malleus might be possible

>>96162761
>>96162770
>>96162773
>>96162785
damn

>>96162751
sure, but you've got to write a reason how they manage to exist despite the pressures of their respective origins.

navigator houses have an already enormous influence over the imperium and a navigator becoming an inquisitor would immediately get all the other branches of the imperium against him in fear their house is trying to get even more control than acceptable, plus competing navigator houses too would influence their agents to give problems to that guy.
navigators have the added problem of being practically mutants, lets say you avoid the political problems of being tied to a navigator house because the dude is exiled or something, now he's 'simply' a mutant with psychic powers trying to find a way in a line of work chock full of people hunting down mutants and psykers with extreme prejudice.
This is not to say it's impossible, but it's to say that it makes sense for it to not be common at all unlike the easier closest thing of a navigator being an ally sent by a navigator house under the wing of an inquisitor.

>>96162692
What happened to the Sanguinary Guard is an actual crime. They even had the audacity to show this artwork on the Blood Angels Army Set.

>>96162751
Yes to all three. Naysayers are tertiary losers.
Just take due diligence to write a cool backstory and kitbash some cool stuff.

>>96162809
just buy the winged stormcast, they even come with spears

>>96162751
Yes to all three

>>96162707
I might get these & some sternguard to rougjly make picrel with a combi plasma

>>96162751
First two would require some significant plot contrivance. Last one is a pretty hard no, as the Navigator houses take breeding and family lines very, very seriously. The mutation isn't something that pops randomly.

Is an elf friendly space?

>>96162809
It was cheaper to reuse the captain CAD and sculpt some dinky wings on the jumppacks.

Yes to one, but I'm not telling

>>96162864
It's true that I have seen better armor painted

>buy stormcast
>put marine helmet on it
>have blood angel model
ez

I'm gonna make a beastman/ratling inquisitor but he has gigantism so he is as big as an ogreyn. He is also gonna be a navigaytor and he'll habe a sevroarm because he used to be a teckpriest.

WE wish they were green.

>>96162914
They were named K'rorks when they were first made.

>>96162922

>>96162929
Helmets or no helmets

>>96162939
helmets because I'm bad at painting faces

>>96162846
This is a place for hostile elves. Post hostilities.

>>96162928
I see it now
The Slaans created Tzeentch and the Necrontyrs created nurgle.

I see it now

>>96162943
Protip: you can paint faces as metallic/ceramic masks.

>>96162943
No, it's because you are based and correct, except when you talk about other people's factions, there's no defending that retardation

>>96162943
Well if you never try you'll never improve, might as well give it a go

>>96161908
What about GSC? Could be a way to make their playstyle a bit more beginner friendly while also keeping their high skill ceiling. They also need like, more elite cultists than just abominants.

>>96162983
I will eventually have to learn how to do it properly for Celestine, but I'm kicking that can down the road

>>96162994
airbrush and do the capillary effect with some panel liner

here's a tip, literally the tip of a toothpick scrape away the middle of the eye to reveal whats under it so if you paint it black and then white, chip at it to get the center of the eyes black while the rims reveal a gray because white is transparent and use panel liner to cover the messy edges in recesses

If your army had an "Army of Renown" with an alternative army rule, what would you want it to be?

Is it the fate of nids to be the faction that other factions curbstomp to show everyone how cool they are?

>>96163036
yes, they have no personality or characterization beyond lol we eat everything and evolve
they're literally stage hazards, not a faction or a threat

>>96163036

thanks anon
I'll add that tip to my notebook

>>96163032
A stratagem that let's you shoot enemy units in engagement range of your own units, but any hit thats a 4+ needs to be rolled against your unit instead

>>96162591
You asked this the other day. You should do whatever sounds fun to you, there's no wrong way to hobby /yourdudes/

>>96163057
thats a dwarf standing on a stool

>>96162809
This art was more than likely finished well before the decision to clip SGs wings was even a concept. Aggressors are front and center in the art, and they don't really show them off much these days

>>96163036
Nids armor is very aesthetically pleasing, nobody kills them for bragging rights.

Champions of vehemence:
Detachment rule: re-roll advance and charge rolls
Enhancements:
• Chaplain or judiciar: +1AP for unit. 25 points
• Infantry only: +1 to advance rolls, advance and action. 15 points.
• Chaplain or Judiciar: re-roll hits for unit. 25 points
• Infantry: gives scout 6 to unit. 20 points.

Strats:
• Fight phase unit that hasn't fought, pile in or consolidate 6". Can't use it alongside next one stray without having chaplain or judiciar.
• Just after consolidated, consolidate anywhere if using vow I think
• Fight phase for unit that hasn't fought yet, gives precision to a unit
• Fight phase on chaplain or judiciar unit that hasn't fought, re-roll hits rolls of 1, re-roll wounds of 1 as well if attacking monster or vehicle
• Opponents movement just after enemy unit for 1 chaplain or judiciar unit within 9", move D6" closer to closest enemy unit into engagement range if possibe
• Opponents charge just after declared charge on unit that was selected, force battleshock at -1

>>96162333

He's not dead, it's already been leaked that he's getting a new model in the "end of edition" campaign supplement. Just like they did for vaashtorr, the lion etc. last time around.

>>96163158
>>no anti daemon weapons ANYWHERE
demons are going away, dude.

>>96163174
Anti... WHAT?

>>96163174
That's because regular daemons die so easily, and the big ones are the only thing durable aside from some of the nurgle stuff.

So it may as well be chaos wiping. Treating greater daemons like they're marines.

>>96163121

If you charge with a vehicle into a unit, and another unit uses heroic intervention into your vehicle that just did the charge, can you use tank-shock on the unit that did the intervention as it's in your engagement range of your vehicle?

Death company are fine, a nice return to the original theming of them removing all the ornamentation from their armour, they're suicidal shock troops whose very existence is a source of shame for the chapter. Dressing them up in special ornate armour never made sense.

Of the new models it's just the sanguinary guard that suck ass, and are incredibly boring.

>>96163630
>bro it's just the chapter's most iconic unit that sucks

>>96163611
unless you're playing at a tournament just run it who gives a shit. I bully someone in my playgroup to run non-meta detachments and use his old models that got sent into legends because why the fuck not?

fuck no they aren't
>Dressing them up in special ornate armour never made sense.
they aren't, they're in their fancy normal gear painted black, they wouldn't spend time stripping all the ornamentation off of them just because they got hit with the black rage you fucking retarded tourist

How would you react?

>>96162509
so craftworld eldar generally lack the toughness to sit on objectives, but have a number of quick and relatively cheap units that can score secondaries.

trading is the name of the game with powerful glass cannons like shining spears, howling banshees, and fire dragons.


If eldar were my ally, I would try to bring either some resilient objective holders or some long range fire power. 48” range is fairly rare in eldar, with many powerhouse weapons have 18” range or less.

>>96163731

>>96162846
no, there is no friendly. there is only survival.

>>96162751
no, a inquisitor is a inquisitor. a very powerful psyker. navigators are there own thing a sub race of human. breed for only one thing. the navigator gene, admech cant be psykers as they give all who have the curse to black ships. no abhuman can be a inquisitor as they are barley above mutants, filfth.

>>96163477
Hes fine. Could do more personal hygiene and less of being a total homosex tho.

>>96163756
eldar just fucking kills whatevers on the objective then prances on it to score

>>96163787
His fucking nails disgust me so much it's unreal

>>96163731
complain, this must be a joke.

>>96163731
I post a picture of it on 4chan several times a day, every day, for the next couple of months because I'm an attention whoring faggot too pussy to just kill myself.

>>96163731
If they're fine on playing on boards like that why does my stuff even have to be painted?

>>96163836
they can sell you paints, they cant sell themselves terrain

Is this stuff fine for the hobby? All of it is very cheap. Do I need an expensive lamp, magnifying glass/glasses or is basic stuff like pic related okay? (I picked most popular stuff that people buy)

>>96163786
Inquisitors don’t have to be psykers, there are some inquisitors that are normal people

>>96163869
>glasses
Lmao

>>96163869
I don't really use the cutting mat to put down and cut stuff so I don't know if it's really needed. A decent light setup goes a long way.
>glasses

I need good hooded Space Marine helmets. I don't like doing faces and I want some hooded helmets for variety. Are there any kits I should look at the bits for, or any good 3rd party ones that wouldn't look out of place next to, well, an army of a bunch of helmeted Space Marines?

>>96163883
>>96163888
Magnifying glasses are like 10$.

>>96163883
I use safety glasses in case a piece pops towards my eyes.

>>96163895
Tactical Squad or resin 3d prints.

>>96163869
Literally all you really need is a hobby knife, some paint brushes, and a wet palette.

>>96163869
Only thing from that image that's actually "necessary" is a decent lamp. I've been using something similar to what's in the top left of your image before switching to something fancier and it was good enough. I never felt like I needed magnifying glasses and I can paint shit like eyes fairly competently. Cutting mat can be useful since it can help prevent you from scratching your desk but it's arguable whether it's essential.

>>96163898
You will try to use it once and quickly learn that it gets in the way far more than it helps, if you can't see the models well you just need better lighting.

>>96163869
The only things I would recommend are a cutting mat to protect the table surface from scratches & stains, a $15 flexible lamp from amazon, and some kind of racks/organizer for paints & bits. Pro tip, makeup organizers are good low cost options if you don't want to be gamer taxed or futz around with MDF. A wet palette is nice to have if the climate makes your paints dry out on whaatever you use as a a palette faster than you would like.

Do you guys think a week off of work is enough to finish two combat patrols

Alright. I'll get the magnifying glass and a slightly better lamp. I'll get the cutting mat to protect the desk since I know I'll fuck it up otherwise. I'll skip the glasses. Thanks!

Oh and the rack/organizer idea, great!

Can anyone tell me where to get epubs of all the Horus Heresy books?

Is this guy going to be free?
I don't think so.

>>96163951
I got that plastic modular wall-hanger from ikea, shit works. I can put about 35-40 paints on a single rack.

>>96163983
Thanks anon. I'll check what my Ikea has tomorrow. This weekend finally I'm starting the hobby.

>>96163946
Two would be pushing it, one is easily possible if it’s a lower model count one with some speed painting here and there.

>Kaldor Draigo removed from the Grey Knights Codex
He seems like the sort of character GW would want people to forget with how ridiculous he is, but I figured he’d get grandfathered into the new lore anyways. Surely they can just make a big deal of him coming back with a refreshed model down the line.

>>96164048
It might happen. GW squatted him not because of his lore but because he was in resin and they are getting rid of that.

>>96164048
Probably coming back with their supposed 11th edition refresh

>>96163282
>going on sigmarxism
I'm so sorry anon

>>96164059
>Probably coming back with their supposed 11th edition refresh
No way that's happening considering they updated this abomination with an upgrade sprue. They will go into the Inquisition Codex or something with some updated models maybe.

>>96164068

>>96164076
What does Valrak say about it?

>>96164076
I'd say that being the only thing they got makes sense if there's a larger refresh coming soon-ish, I think they're aiming to get all of the firstborn models out by the end of 11th.

>>96162591
It's the most based thing you can do. Be sure to make your own customized replacement for any named characters, and name your HQs. I'm planning to 3d print name plates for my bases soon, because I struggle to keep track of all my priests and marshals in the moment

>>96163517
Everyone looks fine besides Calgar. Only bad thing about Dante is the tactical rock and loin cloth.

>>96163189
You've posted this 9 times today on this board, across here, wfg and aosg

>>96164115
Yeah, all in all I think their refresh was quite well done. They still need to get rid off current Wulfen and remake or squat the Wolf Cavalry though.

Getting semi good at drawing and want to draw my warhammer models in cinematic digital drawings.
How is the warhammer bluesky and xwitter community? Just asking for heads up info to be prepared for the worst.

>>96164143
I'd be fine with wulfen if they looked like full on werewolves instead of those ugly pug faced people.

>>96164143
Shock horror. Darren lathem sculpts are good.

>>96164171
My guess is that they will be updated with the rumored release of Leman Russ as there were rumors he went feral as well. We might get our first furry Primarch.

Though this refresh moved away from the wolf wolf wolfson from wolfeheim madness so maybe he will be relatively normal.

>>96164143
I don't see the problem with Wulfen. They're ugly, but so is every other chaos model. Ugly can be a cool and exciting design space. Seems like a matter of taste to me.

Thunderwolf cav definitely need a refresh. Squatting them seems insane to me, why would you throw out the most interesting model concept the faction has?

>>96164216
Wolves on wolves are gay. Refresh went the right way adding units that fit the Viking aesthetic. Now if they just unfuck the codex and give them non cringe names.

>>96164216
It just doesn't look good and makes little sense.
Maybe give the Wolves some armor or something at least.

>>96164249
>Wolves on wolves is gay
I mean, you already signed up to play space marines, the homoerotic sausagefest bara supersoldier faction. How is that where you draw the line?

No, it's just your terrible fanfic you try to push.

>>96163386
Guevesa would be cool but there's a 50% chance they'd just be an upgrade sprue for Cadians. They're also the least interesting gameplay wise, fire warriors with slightly better melee isn't all that interesting and the Kroot already somewhat fill that role.

>>96164269
You know what would make more sense and look cool? Bikes.

>>96164287
It's in one of the newer BL books
You will now deflect and try to discount Bl as canon

>>96164294

Outriders.

Guys I'm having a shitty day real talk. Please post some models or something I need distractions.

>>96164287
>No, it's just your terrible fanfic you try to push.
No. There was a small passage in one of the past narrative campaigns that there was some wolf like monster hunting Chaos and people assumed that it might be Russ. I think it was during the Psychic Awakening but I'm not sure.

>>96164297
>It's in one of the newer BL books
It's not.

13th company were best space wolves

>>96164294
>>96164303
Yes they should just keep them as bikers.

>>96164269
How does it not make sense?

Space marines take the mutation juice. Some mutate into wolves. The SW turn them into mounts, allowing even the failed aspirants who succumbed to fight alongside their brothers.

>>96163170
If it's so easy and effective show us your models that you did using that technique

>>96164287
It's either that or he comes back naked, as his armour was recovered by SW during one of their searches for him.

>>96164334
>How does it not make sense?
Because it look retarded and the idea is terrible from the very concept.

>>96164303
then make elite outriders, the wolf in a wolf on a wolf wolfing the wolfaxe at the wolfenemys of wulf land in wolf country that where just wolvechilling makes the wolveiised and lupinengry.

there is a thing called to much you know.
the wolve theme did go way over board. mysticism is cool when its subtle and not in your face.

>>96164308

>>96164341
>as his armour was recovered by SW during one of their searches for him
They will retcon it and it'll be for the better.

>>96164308
Post yours and I'll decide whether or not I should be nice or just point and laugh at you

>>96164348
>then make elite outriders
No point and not needed. Thunderwolf cavalry still looks like shit.

Ive never even heard of anyone running thunderwolfs unless its meta. I don't think anyone likes the models except for the occasional furry.
But every furry I've seen plays blood angels

>>96164334
>Space marines take the mutation juice. Some mutate into wolves. The SW turn them into mounts, allowing even the failed aspirants who succumbed to fight alongside their brothers.
Wait wait wait... I thought they were normal monster wolves... THEY ARE SPACE MARINES TURNED WOLVES? WHAT THE FUCK.

>>96162370
>How do their powers work?

>>96164269
>It just doesn't look

yeah, they're not awful but compared to the new aos wolves they could be better.

>and makes little sense.

this is not a problem for 40k, if anything the less sense it makes the better. 40k is chocked full of nonsensical and whacky shit just for cool or silly factor

>>96164378
this is such dogshit

>>96164378
Good ol' squad Barak

>>96164371
No clue, I just assumed that was the point. Why would you bother having half-wolf mutant aspirants as a unit if you weren't also going to have full wolves

>>96164216
Wylfen would be fine if they were women and didn’t have retarded poses

>>96164360
thats why they should make elite outriders instead of thunderwolfe wolfy lupin giga wolfes cavalry.

remove thunderwolfes, replace by eliteoutriders with better or more close combat options then regular outriders.

>>96164291
i would even settle for them being an upgrade sprue for standard tau. just alternate legs with boots instead of hooves, and alternate hands with an extra finger

> Has only 50% of the model range of other factions
> still badass and fun

grey knight chads still win in the face of indifference from GW

>>96164378

this but unironically

>>96161898
Lore wise the biggest advantage to lasguns is reliability. This made them excellent from a rules standpoint in original Necromunda (And Inq28) since their ammo rolls are so good that they were very unlikely to stop working mid fight.

>>96162591
I think marines are a unique case. There are so many chapters with official names and color schemes, but minimal actual lore behind them, that the most based thing is to take one and make it yours. It's like recycling, instead of filling the setting with more trash, take something unloved and give it a home.

He's a neet living off his parents who are rich and indulgent in probably their only spawn.

>>96165032
He's underage, he's admitted needing his brother to drive him places in the past. Probably just some nepo baby.

Does a custom chapter have to have 1,000 marines? The gay ass lore I have for them doesn't make sense to have that many. Like 100-200 would be appropriate I think.

>>96165063
You can say they struggle to maintain full strength, there are plenty of chapters that are under 1k most of the time like the lamenters

>>96165054
>>96165037
>>96165053
Where do you lunatics come up with this shit

>>96165044
Its not a pig head its the god of death Anubis head.

>>96165085
Basic deductive reasoning.

>>96165072
Their whole thing is that they're composed of the most heavily mutated marines from the Salamanders faulty geneseed. Like the Black Dragon mutations, but with horns in random places, patches of scaly skin, and some with vestigial wings. They were founded to give them a purpose patrolling the edge of the Imperium to avoid Inquisitorial purging. Wouldn't make sense for there to be 1,000 of ever I think.

>>96162751
>Could there be a Navigator Inquisitor?
No, because the conflict of interest is too high. Navigator houses are in tension with the greater imperium, because they are necessary for warp travel and are incredibly wealthy and influential because of that, but are simultaneously heavily mutated. Allowing an agent of Navis Nobilite to wield the power of Inquisition is unthinkable because they'll just use it to help their own to the detriment of others.
>Or an Admech Inquisitor?
No, for similar reasons. Tech priest's loyalties are first and foremost to their faith and their forge world, not to the Imperium (some Machine Cult sects straight up dispute the fact that the Emperor is Omnissiah). Some forge worlds are basically at war with Inquisition and are actively sabotaging its IT infrastructure. Allowing an ordained priest privileged access to Inquisition's facilities is, again, unthinkable.
>Or any other abhuman Inquisitor? Like Squat or Ratling?
Abhumans are deviations from the Holy Human Form, they are viewed as little better than "purge on sight" mutants. They are tolerated only because their physical properties are useful to the Imperium. No inquisitor in their right mind will ever take an abhuman as an acolyte, it would be seen as an insult to the Inquisition. And even if they did, the acolyte would never be ratified into full inquisitorial position by other inquisitors. Hell, they may be seen as an agent of Chaos that is trying to subvert Inquisition from within and fucking executed. I don't think you understand the position abhumans occupy in the Imperium.

>>96164371
There are no wolves on Fenris.

Remember what we talked about yesterday. The other cheek.

>>96164334
An armored rider on a completely unarmored mount looks dumb.
If armor is necessary to fight the enemy then both the rider and the mount need it, otherwise the mount gets killed immediately and provides no benefit.
Furfags can bloviate about how "fenrisian wolves have hides harder than ceramite armor" or whatever, but that isn't indicated in any way on the miniatures and hence they look fucking retarded.

>>96165122

What about a crazy radical one? Does make one wonder, what does it take to become an Inquisitor? What if an Inquisitor does take an abhuman as an acolyte, what steps would one have to take to become an inquisitor? Like, is there more to it than some high ranking inquisitor gives you a rosette or the inquisitor dies and leaves you their rank and rosette? I'm sure they'd be despised by everyone, but is there like some agency that hands out the titles and can take them away or is it just a case of, "Ain't no rule says a dog can't be an inquisitor."

>>96165160
I think that those wolves should have fur like scales to indicate that they are tough. Like almost a cross between a wolf and drake.

Fuck off nigger

I know I will immediately be accused of being decalanon, but what the ever loving fuck happened to this general? To /tg/ as a whole? This general has Decalfag and WHVB has Perryfag and it feels like a solid majority of the posts end up being about internet personalities or accusations of people being them, instead of about 40k/TOW. Frankly, I have no idea how anyone has the desire or energy to give a fuck about anyone else on here. It feels like high school drama shit constantly circulating through the various threads, like a particularly rancid fart into an air conditioner.

Now to make sure I cover my bases having written this up. No, I will not post my models with a timestamp, no I will not reply to anyone accusing me of anything. I've been in this shit hole for the past seventeen years of my life and I hate how it feels like I am on a private server for a dead MMORPG with how everyone is so fixated on finding someone to blame for anything and everything they dislike.

>>96165216
"Acolyte" is an umbrella term. It encompasses both "interrogators", who are actual inquisitors-in-training, and "retinue members" who are just people with valuable special talents an inquisitor utilizes on to perform their duties. A navigator, a tech-priest or an abhuman absolutely can be members of an inquisitorial retinue because their unique skills are undeniably very useful.
The difference between the two categories is in the fact that an interrogator can become an inquisitor and wield the full power of the inquisition, while retinue members are just hired/pressganged specialists with no authority.
>What about a crazy radical one?
Doesn't matter for the following reasons.
>Does make one wonder, what does it take to become an Inquisitor?
An existing inquisitor needs to see potential in you and take you on as an interrogator. Then, over years of service and mentorship, you need to display qualities that inquisitor sees as necessary. Then he needs to present you as a potential inquisitor to his/her Ordo and several other existing inquisitors need to support your nomination. If that goes well you become a full inquisitor yourself.
An abhuman "interrogator" is never going to get the support of other inquisitors.
>is there like some agency that hands out the titles and can take them away
Inquisition is a mostly flat self-organizing, self-policing structure. There is no authority above the Inquisition, so if an inquisitor goes rogue or behaves in a way other inquisitors consider to be reproachful they collectively revoke his status and just kill him themselves.

I've been here about six months and decal was well established when I got back into the hobby.
I had a fun conversation yesterday about whether the emperor planned to kill off the marines thunder warrior style. I've gotten good tips and been promoted to improve my hobbying. I like looking at models people post. Enjoying the thread doesn't make me some shitposter boogeyman. I don't care for interpersonal drama and I'm not inclined to be terminally depressive.

the codex astartes are more guidelines than actual rules. even the ultras have deviations.

>>96165361
Dont worry im sure some cockhead is gonna make a thread as soon as it hits page 8.

>>96165375
>Hurr page 8 is too early
Fucking kill yourself newfag

>>96165379
/tg/ is a slow board, page 8 to page 10 can take hours and hundreds of posts.

>>96165396
your mom can take hours of hundreds of dicks

Codex fluff does say both skitarii and (underhive) mutants can become Acolytes.

Is there any point posting here? It seems like one faggot just spending all his time looking for ways to bait.

There's 3d prints for the plastic pegboard too specifically for model paint and they work really well. Worth it if you got a printer.

Is it based if I build an entire 30k army for 40k space wolves as 13th great company emerging out from the warp 10,000 years later with all original designs and paint schemes from the heresy

>>96165420
I concess your acception.

>>96165421
Psykers are mutants too and they can become Inquisitors.

>>96165420
That's not very nice.

>>96165435
It is based if you think it's cool.
It is cringe if you do it because you think others will think it's cool.

Went with the Black to start

>>96165444
Want to do it because I love heresy armor marks especially tartaros armor and contemptor dreads

>>96165467
Then do it.
The trick is to paint your minis so well that even your detractors have to begrudgingly respect you.

>>96165439
The Emperor was a psyker, are you calling the Emperor a mutant?

>>96165483
The Emperor was a god, you fucking heretic!

>>96165466
I actually prefer this head over the Wolf ones

I think with modelposting there is a bit of anonymity being stripped away and it can be a boon and curse as it means some exploit it to be insufferable trolls while others do it for the praise and genuine comments and criticism.
That said most modelposters tend to be chill because they have to be or else they’ll be eviscerated. But as you can see there are alone sadder cases that thrive off negative attention. You’re guess as to why would be as good as mine.

>>96165466
How are you gonna paint him?

>>96165611
the answer is the same as always: poorly

>I hate how it feels like I am on a private server for a dead MMORPG with how everyone is so fixated on finding someone to blame for anything and everything they dislike.
Amen.

>>96165611
Gold trim, gold head. Purple glow effects on one gun and red in the other. Should be fun.

>>96165619
He's supposed to be Anubis? That's neat.

>>96165627
