Who's got the best helmet in the galaxy

Post your favourite NPC matchups

>WE HAVE THE TERMINUS DECREE WE'RE AN IMPORTANT FACTION!!!

>custodes were fine with letting the dark eldar repair the golden throne
>didn't try to stop it until an inquisitor found out the deldar were going to clone the Emperor
The GK and Custodes are equally dumb

>>96221578 (OP)
>tq
That archon with the two faced helmet.

>>96221594
>GK and Custodes flinging shit over who is the better super special marine faction personally chosen by the Emperor
Let them fight

>>96221596
>the deldar were going to clone the Emperor
So what
How is this bad

Reminder that before his final confrontation with Horus, the Emperor cast his compassion and other good traits into the warp so that he could face Horus without hesitation.
The reason for his decree to the Grey Knights is so that the "Shard" of himself that is on the throne can continue it's solemn duty while the "Shard" that could actually lead humanity is able to be reborn.
This is why the Terminus decree is how it is, to protect that "noble shard" similar to how Janus was created from being forced to remeld with the parts of himself that are on the Throne which would make him whole and powerful enough to implode on himself and ascend to godhood which he wants to avoid.
This also ties in with Valdor/King in Yellows work and goals, he is trying to find this shard of the Emperor in the Warp and his genetic experimentation is to create a blank that can act as a body for this shard of the Emperor.
This is also how GW plan to bring the Emperor back to the setting without facing the issue of him being overpowered.

>>96221642
dunno, ask /hhg/

Asking again, anyone in the US have luck finding this in stores yet?

>>96221578 (OP)
This guy. He even comes with an alternative helmet that's pretty cool too.

>>96221653
yes
got one a couple days ago on a work trip

>>96221619
Think of how much trouble one Emperor caused for the Galaxy

A different build for the plastic hierophant (melee arms and armoured build)
A third different build for the plastic hierophant (birthing sacs and tentacles)
A psychic head option to make the hierophant a HQ (with itsy bitsy creepy trex hands)

>>96221642
I thought you were wrong so I googled it and what I thought was right has since been retconned so many times it's not funny anymore.

Horus Heresy was a mistake

So how does Big E get off the throne anyway, it must be possible otherwise why would they even plan for it

>>96221702
there's magic, who knows the limits of what is possible? better have orders just in case.

I am quite enjoying this spinny thing. Might need a better camera for video though, I don't think the phone is cutting it for that.

Now post models.

>>96221702
The plan is actually for him to eat the grey knights and return they just wouldn't come to the throne otherwise.
The custodes will let them in the front door

>my paint formula and basing method?
>it's dollar store white primer + coat
>one pass, zenithal highlighting at 65 degrees covering the front
>and a citadel red grass tuft, bought at the lgs for half price
You run the tournament, do you allow it?

>>96221591
Necrons vs. Eldar
Guard vs. Tyranids

>>96221722
Man that cape still rules so much. Probably one of my favorite things Ive seen in these threads.
Here models.

>>96221722
Grotesques

>>96221732
Base isn't textured, doesn't meet battle ready. No. Citadel also doesn't make red tufts

>>96221722
couldn't reply to the tank post last thread because of the image limit

>>96221475
That's always going to be the case for Marines and Marine-adjacent armies though. At least GK's aren't still using something like 2010 sculpts where there's a huge difference between those and modern models, and you'd be surprised how well a consistent paint scheme binds kits of different times together. I was looking at the previous version of the Chaos Terminators a while ago and sure they look a little stiffer but they could stand next to each other no problem.

>>96221765
This turned out so good

>>96221722
One day I hope my BL look as good as yours.

>>96221771
Well fuck they're almost the same size too

>>96221578 (OP)
>The Most Handsome Young Man
Is there any visual depiction of the Blood Angels that supports the claim that they are the most handsome of all Space Marines? I remember the old Index Astartes said as much, but then it showed a picture of Gabriel Seth with his face all fucked up.

>>96221771
I wonder why CSM termies and the new Leviathan ones were sculpted with such different proportions.

>>96221722
Since I only got a couple of images on me right now.

Something something Primaris I'm sure, but more pragmatically the decision to upscale Leviathan terminators came a good while after they did the most recent CSM kit.

Sure, I'll allow it. - 10vp

Ynnead, Emperor 2.0, Vashtussy blah blah.
You know who really should return as active deity in the setting? Khaine. Now thats a real god setting need.

>>96221722
Tweaking my guard scheme away from the bright red I was working with.
Also played with burn scarring and a new skin tone.

Is the collage anon here?

>>96221867
Eldar shouldn't even exist in 40k. They should be some extinct minor faction wiped out during the Great Crusade.

>>96221884
Yeah and that should have triggered Rhana Dandra and taken Chaos out of the setting with them.

>>96221884
>schizo screeching
what shouldn't exist in 40k is Emperor's Children lmao

>>96221867
I'd like vashtorr more if they had giant tits and a fat ass and thighs

>>96221822
post it

>>96221905
nta but it would be pretty poor form to post it without his consent

The final day of the collage is here. Last chance to submit your entries. Those of you still working, keep going, you have a few hours left.

Finally an OP that isn't arbites

>>96221884
>Eldars gets killed in 30k
>Returns in 40k as full Wraith army and core part of Death faction

I dont get dry brushing, if I was able to ONLY hit the raised surfaces i'd be able to just paint the highlightng details normally. Just seems strange.

>>96221934
who is the Nagash equivalent of the Eldar

>>96221934

>thousand sons army
Why yes I have a type.

>>96221917
I don't know if these qualify as elites and the guy on the left was painted in june but if that's fine I'd like to submit these. No biggie if it's a no go

>>96221917
not him, but are we allowed to enter multiple minis into the collage or is it one entry per person?

>>96221941
Iyanden?

>>96221900
>>96221934
>But muh randumb bullshit
No. Eldar don't deserve to do anything interesting because they inherently are not interesting.

>>96221594

>>96221578 (OP)
We get beakies and muzzles and skulls and rubies for some reason as helmets.

>>96221915
no it wouldnt

>>96221979
just reference the source as you would posting anyones content

>>96221679
What a bad box, lmao.

>>96221732
If you are doing that you can slop contrast paint over the zenithal and actually have color. 0/10 weak bait.

>>96221986
second-worst selling box they ever released
gangs of commoragh was the only one worse

>>96221962
They sure are boring when you don't know a single fucking thing about them, huh?

>>96221954
It's great that people are motivated to join in and share their stuff but I think we should limit it to one entry per anon.
>>96221950
I don't mind. They look great as always.

>>96221998
Why would anyone bother trying to learn lore about a literal NPC faction that even now only exists to be the Imperium's sidekick?

10th edition was pretty bad so far. Is it time for 11th soon?

>>96222019
trying too hard at this point

>>96222024
Bro the only development Eldar have had in ten years is that Guilliman is conaidering an alliance with them.

>>96222019
Arbites are pretty gay, you're right about that

>>96222005
Really surprised there's not an Eldar version of this. You know. Considering.

>>96222034
>literally every codex ever written was in the viewpoint of the imperium writing about them
>even the chaos codexes

>>96221994
Could be worse, could be stormcloud attack for two xenos armies. I still see those boxes kicking around at comic shops and stuff. But gangs of comorragh was absolutely a shelf warmer. The board game is pretty fun though

>>96222045
they don't have any superiority to be controversial over

>>96221994
I don't think an Eldar v Deldar box could ever work unless it was genuinely insane value on staple units for both armies. I think its pretty rare people collect both armies unless they have specifically a Ynnari army. And a box like this would never appeal to a Ynnari player. Also unlike Marines v Tyranids or even something like Harlequins v Deathwatch the matchup doesnt really have the narrative sauce and theres almost no group of 2 friends who would split the box.

What's the worst selling box of all time?

>>96222035
This but unironically

>>96222035
Arbites aren't even a faction, but they're still more popular than eldar.

>>96222081
no they aren't lmao

>>96222081
I've never seen arbites models in person even once, but I've seen at least a handful of eldar armies

>>96222107
damn that is nice

>>96222091
>>96222092
Darktide alone made Arbites more notable than every Eldar faction combined.
Cope, NPCs.

>>96222159
people don't even play the arbites

>>96222159
you mean Rogue Trader

>>96222159
/v/ermin pls go

>>96222159
No it didn't lmfao

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>96222171
Never played Rogue Trader. Too much boring reading and too much NPC wanking.

>>96222159
more people talk about the deldar companion in rogue trader than anybody does about the arbites class in shopclick

>>96222159
If you're going off video games then eldar have been present in far more games than arbites

>>96222168
Lol.
>>96222171
Unfortunately his DLC was the poorer of the two. Still a better companion than the eldar one though.

>>96222187
I dunno, giving Yrilet false hope and then handing her off to the Inquisition was really funny, even if the game bugged out and she reappeared in my party an hour later but was permanently knocked down.

>>96222168
>people don't even play the arbites
Uh

>>96222178
Dark eldar more like fart smelldar lmaooo

>>96222058
He says Gangs of Commorragh was but I don't know if that's true. It was a super cheap way to pick up Dark Eldar bikers and the hellions were just bonus gravy. It was a pretty limited print run too so it sold out quickly I remember. I was only able to snag one copy myself.

>>96222197

>>96222282
I can confirm there are at least 3

>>96222295

Remake space marines. But this time, make them slightly taller than they were before.

>>96222384
Doesn't need to go anywhere, they can just keep making cool stuff at this point and refresh things as they get dated

The idea of 7 foot tall armored giants silently tip toeing to sneak around is dumb and silly.

>>96222448
>makes the demand without posting his own
you get ignored like all the rest of the /v/ermin

>>96222434
I like the idea of tacticool stealth marines but the models look kinda shitty. bad poses, ugly weapons, reiver helmets are super dumb (but some people are into that).

jump packs are always cool. lightning claws less so. bird bird bird isn't as iconic as wolf wolf wolf or iron hands. beaky helmets are probably my second favourite design behind classic frowns.

>>96222469
you go to /k/ and say the same thing, it's cringe

Seeing the older models/forge world stuff makes me wish I was born in the 80s.

>>96222496
wolf wolf wolf is iconic in the sense that it's iconicly shit yeah

>>96222506
I thought these toy dudes are way smaller for some reason but they're actually fairly big

>>96222506

>>96222434

All's right with the world

>>96222405
>and refresh things as they get dated
What kind of dude is out there dating plastic miniatures?

The new jump packs are such a downgrade compared to old RG. If only they’d make an equivalent for primaris. I want 40k mor deythan now that it’s been reformed by Shrike.

>>96221765
How to gradient from light to dark on those big panels

>>96222551

This is the most forced meme in existence.

>>96222567
Cry more, GKfag.

airbrushing isn't real painting.

>>96222590
you need to put a bit more effort into your shitposting

>>96222600
touched a nerve, eh?

>>96222600
you need to not reply to your own shitty bait

>>96222559
It doesn't look like that much of a gradient, there's light and dark and a narrow transition area. Definitely brushable.

>>96222567
>guy goes to the trouble of making an ms paint meme just laughing at the idea that Grey Knights would 'cut a swathe' through Custodes even assuming SoS weren't there for some reason.
It'll take literal deus ex machina to make it work. I'm sure GW will build up to Valdor's Genetic Monster Angels vs Grey Knights because Valdor wants to free the Emperor from his suffering while GK have to make sure he stays in his damn chair and maybe throw Dante or Sanguinius in there for the prophecy. Maybe Abaddon will appear with Vashtorr and do something.

But that aside, it's just a meme that GKs are all small models and Custodes aren't (or in fluff) so it's just funny at the idea they're able to do it.

>>96222607
grey knights are stronger than custodes

>girlfriend (suck it, virgins) gifted me a cool ass set a week ago
>"anon, have you worked on it already? show me!"
>mfw it lies untouched on the pile of shame with 3 other sets
it was tough to talk myself out of that one

>literal who humans thinking about things they don't understand

>>96222607
>'cut a swathe'
who are you quoting?

>>96221578 (OP)
I really like the crusader helm from the black templars, it looks cool.

>>96222613
Yes, the key part there is 'psyker' and I clarified that the SoS would literally have to be off schlicking themselves in silence in order for GK to 'cut a swathe' through Custodes. Remove the pysker part and they're just marines.

Also unreliable narrator.

>>96222625
post a picture of your pile of shame or you're a lying virgin.

>>96222613
I doubt custodes would get their shit wrecked by some angry space furries

>>96222625
>it was tough to talk myself out of that one
>"I needed some special paints for it, they still haven't arrived"
was it so hard?

I dunno about you guys, but I'd definitely join the greater good if Shadowsun became my turbo charged mommy T'au and if she let me be her little piss baby Gue'vesa.

>>96222636

>>96222607
>>96222613
>NPC factions with no Primarchs having a. Pissing contest and thinking anyone cares about their little spat
Lol

@gork:
Outcome
The Grey Knights are formidable, but the Custodes and Sisters of Silence hold overwhelming advantages in the Imperial Palace:
Numerical Superiority: Custodes’ numbers dwarf the Grey Knights, allowing them to absorb losses and maintain pressure.

Anti-Psyker Synergy: Sisters of Silence neutralize the Grey Knights’ primary advantage, leveling the playing field for Custodes’ superior combat prowess.

Defensive Terrain: The Palace’s fortifications amplify Custodes’ effectiveness, making an attacker’s victory nearly impossible.

Morale and Loyalty: Both sides are incorruptible, but Custodes’ direct connection to the Emperor gives them unmatched resolve in defending His throne.

Conclusion: The Grey Knights could inflict significant casualties through precision strikes, but defeating the Custodes and Sisters of Silence in the Imperial Palace is highly improbable. The defenders’ numbers, synergy, and terrain mastery would overwhelm the attackers in a prolonged conflict. A pyrrhic victory might be possible with extreme sacrifice (e.g., near-total Grey Knight losses), but holding the Palace against reinforcements is unfeasible.

>>96222639

>>96222656

>>96222642

Two fat ass boxes worth of assembled but otherwise untouched shit

>>96222655
why do you even think that's what I was asking about?
I asked you who you're quoting

Okay, but how does the Star Child fit into all this Terminus Decrying?

>>96222658

>>96222677
They're literally part of the two forces that the Emperor made alongside the Custodes and were meant to fight as one unit. Which they have done. To think the SoS would thoughtmark 'we're out' is retarded, just as if them siding with GK and being told to go to the other side of the planet to help. SoS really going to throw 10k years away because some guys in grey armour turn up and go 'Out of the way, poppet, we need to make sure daddy is in the chair'. As I said, it'll take some bullshit writing to just make them disappear.

>>96222694
who cares like the Grey Knights would ever get close enough to the emperor to find out. The Custodes tear them apart before they even get close to the thrown room

>>96222690
someone get this guy an airbrush and some decals

>>96222692
The Grey Knights codex has an entry on the Terminus Decree and it ends with
>Rather, the Grey Knights would themselves be the weapon on such a desperate day, one that would likely have to cut a path through the ranks of the Custodian Guard and many others to see its duty done.

>>96222668
Konrad Curze as the next primarch release confirmed.

>>96222690
this sickens me
I thought your pile of shame would be some stacked boxes, not literal sprues and half assembled models in a box

>>96222692
he's quoting this but he replaced 'path' with 'swathe'.

>>96222716
Night lords versus Raven Guard with both aesthetics battling would be nice to see.

who wants to play a pickup game?

>>96222705
>They're literally part of the two forces that the Emperor made alongside the Custodes and were meant to fight as one unit.
No, they weren't, they have a different goal, different training, a different origin, the emperor didn't make the sisters of silence
Their role is to keep the astronomican running
Their role is not to save the emperor, and they're under no delusion of him being a god that must or should awaken

They most probably have a similar secret order to turn against the custodians

>>96222730
>battling
>bat
heh

It's like everyone forgets that the Grey Knights are masters of manipulation and would be highly unlikely to assault the throne alone. They have eldar allies and the ultramarines and the Space Wolves.

>>96222735
She got giant honkers I've noticed.

>>96222735
what's the point cost on those twinlinked plasma cannons

>>96222739
Grey Knights also have a time machine and any time Grey Knights aren't around everyone is asking, "Where's Grey Knights?"

>>96222735
that army painter banner looks photoshopped in

>>96222739
>eldar allies
Literally worse than useless
>Ultramarines
Guilliman wouldn't support them

No way in hell they'd support the GKs in this situation.

>>96222515
They're 1/18, which is a relatively small scale for action figures, but they're definitely on the large end for 1/18, and every new space marine release they do seems to creep the scale up even further. They work fine on 1/18 scale dioramas and playsets, but they are chunkier than other 1/18 toys.

don't the space wolves hate them because of armageddon

Weird question, but does anyone in the entire galaxy use genetic alchemy besides the custodes crafter on Terra?
It seems like some enuncia level of obscure bullshit with no connection to anything.

I didn't say the Emperor made them. Also, the rest of your post is nonsense, I'll defeat it with these paragraphs and you can fuck off.
>Along with the Legio Custodes, the Sisters of Silence had the right and duty to walk freely within the inner sanctum of the Imperial Vaults deep beneath the Imperial Palace, the sovereign and sole domain of the Emperor and His household at the behest and license of the Master of Mankind
>They are the Adeptus Custodes, and together with the sinister Sisters of Silence they are the final bulwark between a vicious, uncaring galaxy and the heart of Holy Terra.
>Alongside the female order of anti-psykers known as the Sisters of Silence, the Adeptus Custodes bring war anew to the enemies of the Imperium
>At last the Shield-Captain is able to release his pent-up fury, assembling a combined force of Custodians, Sisters of Silence and Imperial Assassins to pull the corrupt operation up by its roots
>Storming out to meet the invaders alongside Guilliman's Ultramarines and a sizeable complement of the Sisters of Silence, the Custodians successfully deflect the Blood God's attempt to behead the Imperium with a single strike
>Shield-Captain Daryth and his men have pressed out into the stars to continue their mission. Now they enlist the aid of the Sisters of Silence, bringing a band of the elite Witch Hunters aboard their frigate
>Each Custodian is further blessed with protections that leave them resistant to the powers of both the psyker and the Null, making them perfectly suited to fight alongside the Sisters of Silence
Wow, lots of Custodes working with SoS here, really odd! But wait, there's MORE!
Key bit here

I'd say weak bait but its already got 4 replies and will get more

Based on how generous this Grey Knights combat patrol is with TEN Terminators and twenty Strike Squad models, I think it is safe to say they are clearing stock for their refresh next edition.

I've been shitting on the gay knights for years so I feel kinda vindicated now

>>96222836
looking at the box it seems it has stormcast and kruleboyz, and then marines and necrons, so it’s possible he just bought the shitty AOS box, and the 9th edition starter set which isn’t THAT bad when it comes to hoarding minis.

>>96222690

That's not mine but almost every hobbyist has a backlog. I play warcry, aos, and 40k and used to play underworlds, and kill team when it was called shadow war armageddon. I don't know why people playing multiple things is hard for you to wrap your head around

>>96222881

>>96222808
And you can find a thousand paragraphs about the grey knights working together with the other forces of the imperium, yet they will turn on them the moment they have to
Just as the sisters will turn on the custodes the moment they have to in order to make sure the astronomican keeps working, which is their real charge.

They don't care about the custodians, they don't care about the emperor, their role is to keep force feeding it psykers so the lighthouse stays on.

Among all the imperial forces you could ask for to remain loyal to the custodes out of a sense of honor or brotherhood, they're the last you should rely on, they're literally soulless and passionless, they don't care, they have one job only.

>>96222716

>>96222694
The old starchild plotline was about a secret group of illuminati wanting to force the emperor's ascension by sacrificing his sons to him when the throne is about to fail, meanwhile the emperor struggles to remain seated on the throne as long as he possibly can to buy time for the starchild to awaken

In the old material these two goals aren't presented in opposition: the Illuminati want to awaken the starchild and want to force the emperor's ascension only at the moment the failure of the throne
BUT the emperor is not in any sort of communication with the illuminati and is practically a separate entity from the starchild, furthermore the sons of the emperor (vessels and heralds of the starchild's powers) wouldn't know that the Illuminati want to sacrifice them to push the rise of the sensei-emperor/starchild, plus in this old lore all illuminati undergo a ritual of demonic possession

I don't find it unlikely at all that gw may decide to split the goals:
have the Illuminati be a shadowy group of radical inquisitors (and potentially chaos puppets) who want to force the rise of the emperor as a new warp power (but not as the starchild), thinking this is the only compromise that ensures mankind's survival
while the emperor's own will remains to endure on the throne as long as possible until the starchild can finally rise up on his own, naturally, pure, separate from him, and in this narrative the grey knights would fight to prevent the rise of the emperor as the dark king and instead maintain the hope for the starchild's coming

the question is, would the custodes want the emperor to rise in this setup?

Sorry you don't get the same level of attention as one of the older modelposters ITT

He was frankly dumb, he was mad that people were mentioning the throoder again, thinking it was unwarranted, yet here we are again with the same early threads about slaanesh, blood angels and arbitees ad nauseam, the same off-topic gifs, and the same catchphrases, and the same screeching about the factions he doesn't like.

>>96223212
he doesn't do the same shit
and we haven't been burdened with an update on a shittily painted model with every single brushstroke in almost 4 months

Why don't they have scouts and apothecaries after so many years?

>>96223234
Don't they have equivalents?

>>96223222

Here, I'm at work presently so I don't have a new picture to post but here's my most recent, I'll put a collection pic together later. I think I overdid it on the power mace and helmet edges, but I was pushing to meet the collage deadline and I'm going to go back over them this weekend. Your models have given me inspiration on some things to try when painting mine several times.

>>96223283
dude lol that is not me

>>96223234
>Why don't they have scouts
CSM just shove their recruits into whatever cobbled together junk power armor they can instantly because there is no time to teach them. Also nobody in the warband wants to teach new recruits, all people within chaos warbands are out for themselves and only for themselves.
They will regularly kill one another just to get ahead.
>and apothecaries
Most traitor legion geneseed is completely useless because all of it has mutated to such a degree due to Warp corruption and chaos god "gifts", that it makes all of the geneseed useless.
No point in keeping apothecaries around then.
Chaos apothecaries do exist in small numbers in the fluff however, but they just use stolen loyalist geneseed to replace any losses.
There is a short story about a chaos apothecary going around on the battlefield collecting geneseed from his dead and not-so-dead warband members. When he gets to one corpse and extracts the geneseed gland, the thing mutates jaws and teeth and tries attacking him. The apothecary just shoots it with his pistol and grumbles on about how traitor legion geneseed is failing and becoming unusable.

Also, out of universe explanation:
GW wants to keep CSM and loyalist marines armies separate in both function and aesthetic.
Making apothecaries and scouts but spiky, is dumb and just clashes with the vision of how the army is.

>>96223216
>>96223289
Yeah you just happen to be here when somebody's crying about a modelposter who shat on you in the past

>>96223287
>would be incapable to hold off
and you can be absolutely sure he can't because...?

>>96223288
What do you mean anon? He got his friend to help him out, surely you wouldn't imply anyone would ever samefag here.

>>96223295
Bro I have zero beef with him what are you saying

>>96223308
and the third post?

>>96223234
They're not tacticool, so scouts don't fit the theme
and they're more about sorcery than science and medicine, so apothecaries don't fit the theme for the most part

also they never get as many toys as the imperials because they don't sell and don't matter

>>96223312
How many friends would satisfy this question anon, you can get around the post limit with the push of a button. It is not absurd to bring that fact up.

>>96222984
I was kinda bummed about his departure but then I realized he mostly just posted the same half finished squad for years. It's sad and all but I think we should let him go.

>>96223319

>>96221917
Managed to finish these guys just in time.

>>96223324
which is what he's still doing, to a T

he's just not reposting his shitty models yet

alright im in. ordered logan grimnar, njal, 2 boxes of wolfguard with the wolves, 2 boxes of wolfguard terminators, and a SW venerable dred with the axe.

apart from ragnar and ajac, any other essentials? how do space wolves usually play? or is it one of the "they can do anything" generalist space marine armies?

>>96223336
You will note I did not say it was ALL samefagging, just those obvious ones. It is obvious you couldnt stay away and are now desperate to pave a way to start posting again without losing face. Have you ever seen waiting for godot?

>>96223335
He wasn't even here for years lmao

>>96223339
As far as 40k sloptubers go eons of gay isn't that bad. He is a better hobbyist than most. Love his star wars legion gungan army.

>>96223349
Yes he was newfren. Just check the archive.

>>96223348
Yes you're very jealous people actually like his shit and not your decalslop you've made that but obvious

Anyone got examples of good plastic containers i could buy on amazon for carrying my models? Something wide, deep and preferably with a handle?

why do they have so many furry anal plugs?

>>96223340
Cool, thanks! I'm just starting to get into highlights so this is a big help. I look forward to trying this on the HQ model for this month's collage.

>>96223364
Ok now I see that this is just you arguing with yourself lol, you little prick.

>>96223356
bad how?
he does literally the same identical shit except posting the shitty wips, which he could do perfectly by stealing his photos on reddit if his plan was to impersonate him.
If anything the absence of the models disprove the larp.

>voting for august's collage theme ends in 10 minutes

dont' forget your tail plug :3c awoooo (^>_<^)

He started posting in 2024 and there was a months-long block where he posted the same 3 marines being progressed every few threads

>>96223310
>Bro I have zero beef with him what are you saying
You have been samefagging for months we can all recognize it at this point. Its just annoying and pathetic. There is no one ITT who "has no beef with him". At best its pity, but for most its outright contempt.

>>96223383

>>96223408
everyone loves the based decal guy!!! so based!!!

I'm dirty dan

Why are they so bad at their job?

>>96223397
Lead by example and post your models then.

I was assembling the terminator librarian and I know people say the reason why builds are so weird nowadays is because GW optimizes sprue space but I have another theory, GW optimizes hobbyist suffering.

>>96223447
Having built an ad mech army I can agree wholeheartedly with this.

>>96223440
Already did multiple times both here and on /wip/, I also always post them on the same recognizable desk and mat.

>>96223508
you don't need to clean mouldlines on cables, you can just paint the mouldline as a smaller cable running over the bigger cable

>>96223508
Also the moldlines that are on the bumpy areas of their weapons so you have be really careful with filing them down. Also all of the sub-assemblies I end up doing because I want to paint everything.

>>96223508
just wick most glue off your applicator brush and run that on the moldline on ribbed bits to easily clean them up without destroying the ribbing

>>96223516
It's easy to remove shitty people on discord

If Huron had just stayed in line for another century he would have got the benefit of primaris. Now he will forever stay a manlet.

>>96223508
The ribbed cables are such a pain in the ass, I'm amazed they still use them as they've been aware for a long time of how much of a pain ribbed surfaces are from plasma guns having their mouldline go down the center of the coils

>>96223521

It's simply bad writing both ways folks.

what kit made you buy an airbrush?

A Blood Angel's allegorical illustration of the warring natures of the Blood. The Blood Angel with golden wings is an allegorical representation of their angelic nature. The Blood Angel with wings of shadow, pictured opposite his angelic semblance, raises a cup of blood to allegorically represent the Blood Angels' dark thirst for blood. Below the two, originally there was a depiction of a beast, allegorically representing the bloodthirsting beastliness that exists within all Blood Angels.

Could a Krork beat a Custodes in a fight?

>>96223657
>primaris orks
nah I'm good

>>96223688
Of course

>>96223595
I live in a frozen hellhole 4 months of the year and wanted to prime stuff without worrying about humidity and temperature

>>96223696
Would 100 Custodes beat 1 Krork Killa Gorilla?

Tau or Drukhari?

>>96223688
Would snap one of those sissies in half in nanoseconds

>>96223595
Priming and just generally liking to paint vehicles

My boys arrived! Holy shit they are smol. I'm glad I ordered a magnifying glass-lamp. I'm gonna need it.

>Look more at Ynnari rules
>Can give Wraithblades free D6+1 reactive movement, and can give Wraith units in general Fights First
This feels oddly ironic

>>96223657
God I hate krork fan art. They just take everything cool about orks and make them more like marines

>>96223601
gay

>>96223735
OG Krorks were basically Eldar-Orks. Even more advanced than marines.

>>96223735
I disagree I think it looks cool

>>96223735
the living krork's armor in trazyn's vault was described as something sleeker and more advanced than marine armor so it makes sense

>>96223735
Agreed, you can always tell at a glance that all krorkfaggotry doesn't come from actual ork fans.

This >>96223657 is the least orky crap in existence.

>>96223732
As long as you paint in good lighting you shouldn't have too hard of a time. You can pick up jewelers magnifiers but I've found they give me headaches over long periods of time. I think it might be having peripheral vision be unchanged while the center of your vision is warped.

>>96223754
probably because its a krork not an ork, they arent meant to look the same

>>96223688
Yes. In one novel the Emperor, Horus and Custodes fought a bunch of degenerated Krorks and Horus nearly died, multiple Custodes died and the Emperor nearly got his teeth locked in as well.

>>96223740
>>96223750
Don't really care if they're bigger batman in lore, I just think the aesthetic is really lame.

>>96223740
>were basically Eldar-Orks.
No, they weren't.
It doesn't take much to be more advanced than marines, do I have to remind you that orks are already more advanced when it comes to forcefield and teleportation technology? Do you think that makes them look like eldar?

>>96223736
That's your answer to everything.

>>96223763
>it's accurate
>I don't care it's marinefags shitting it up
(you) tried

I've always wanted one, but is 800 points worth it?
Im doing it anyways

>>96223755
I thought about such glasses but /40kg/ laughed at me. I got a 3x magnifying glass with LED light. If it's not enough I'll buy something else. Its cheap compared to the minis.

>>96223764
>No, they weren't.
Lorelet. At least read a wiki.

>>96223758
Nothing suggests the krorks are unrecognisable from orks, the character that saw one still recognised it as an ork at a glance.
This >>96223657 doesn't look like an ork on the other hand.

And being more advanced doesn't mean having sleek lean and conventionally human proportions.
The old ones were fucking frogs and one of their most advanced creations are naked apes, for fuck's sake.

>>96223787
their bodies are pretty much the same outside of size, I'm more referring to their armor and tech, obviously its gonna look sleeker and high tech

>This >>96223657 doesn't look like an ork on the other hand.
face does

>>96223787
No one saw a real Krork because they are extinct. Orks like the Beast and that other who fought the Emperor were just old Orks on the verge of evolving into Krorks.

>>96223784
Cite ANYTHING that points to them being eldar-like in any way shape or form.

I know what I'm talking about, I know exactly the only appearances or mentions of krorks in the fluff, you evidently do not, your perception of them is warped by retarded fanfictions and even more retarded fanarts.

>>96223774
>is 800 points worth it
No. But it's a cool looking kit and probably a blast to paint. Just don't expect it to do much. Keep in mind that for 800pts a marine player can take 3 redemptors and a brutalis with ten points to spare

>>96223800
trazyn has a living krork
>>96223801
the POV that sees trazyn's krork recognized it as an ork and likened its armour to a more advanced marine

someone should kill that nigga trazyn and free all the animals in the zoo

What were the proto-Eldar like in the time of the Krorks? Are the completely unchanged for 65 million years or did they degenerate too as they became more... Well, degenerate?

>>96223796
>obviously its gonna look sleeker and high tech
it's not obvious at all, technological development doesn't follow one linear spectrum where sleek is some terminal ideal, orks don't even make their stuff look crude because it's impossible for them to craft better looking stuff, they CHOOSE to make it look that way because it's part of their culture and what they perceive as aesthetically fitting and pleasing.
Similarly the old ones and their creations have often been shown to incorporate tribal and mystic elements, not just conventional plain sci fi.

>>96223811
>recognized it as an ork and likened its armour to a more advanced marine
Orks with quality equipment. I'm not convinced that makes them any more lethal than the trash and scrap they normally roll with.

>>96223800
>No one saw a real Krork
We have one canonical appearance in trazyn's museum, it's where we get the alleged size and a chaos marine noting its battle plate is more advanced than marines, in the first place.

>>96223801
>I know what I'm talking about, I know exactly the only appearances or mentions of krorks in the fluff, you evidently do not

>>96223811
>likened its armour to a more advanced marine
wrong choice of words, the text didn't say it was like a marine's but more advanced, just that it was more advanced than a marine's, there's a whole world of possibilities in those words.

>>96223826
the mangled corpses of the entire imperial fists chapter would beg to differ

>>96223822
>Are the completely unchanged for 65 million years
Biologically, yes.

>>96223813
Trazyn should capture lelith and put her in a big jar and fill it with weird goo haha that'd be so funny

>>96223845
What is there a novel or something where Fists get reamed by krorks?

I thought marinesfags were the ones supposed to have a meltdown when their guys are criticized not xenofags.

>>96223595
I use VGC Stonewall Grey and it's kinda bitch of paint to work it. I painted 10 metamorphs + iconward yesterday with it and it took me about 2 hours for basecoating the armor with in two passes. I did the same for 12 neophytes in only 10 minutes or so with a super shitty airbrush from temu.

>>96223855
Not even krorks lol, they got wiped out by orks during the war of the beast

>>96223855
No, the orks of the waaagh of the beast weren't krorks, but they were bigger more technologically advanved orks.

>>96223860
So it's exactly like I said.

>>96223857
Fags are fags. Remember that.

>>96223857
nobody is criticizing orks, what's being criticized is shitty fanart.

>>96223874

>>96223857
Every faction has some oversensitive fans, you just see more marine stuff because there are more marine fans period. Hell someone was sperging about arbites earlier and they're barely represented at all

>>96223864
Wasn't the Beast that one Ork that got stupid large and his waagh almost ate the imperium?

>>96223858
That's a really nice medium grey, I can see why you would want to find the best way to apply it easily.

>>96223890
yes.
terribly paced series of novels.

>>96223881
>Hell someone was sperging about arbites
Nobody has talked about arbites except for people noting OP has spammed them as thread topic for multiple days

>>96223892
Shame the tip of the airbrush got cracked and I happen to have 30 more neophytes and 10 more acolytes on sprue, plus other stuff. I'll just assemble all 40 bodies then either borrow one or get a new one from temu just to basecoat their armors again. When it works, it works and does its job. The paint looks nice as but I don't really enjoy using it, can be goopy when applying with a brush.

>>96223896
We had some dude crying that arbites were more popular than eldar itt, scroll up bro
>>96222081
>>96222159
>>96222197

>>96223907
Did the tip crack or did the needle bend? If it's actually cracked you might be able to bring it back to life by melting some tin solder against it. Might not be perfect but would probably still be good enough to prime while youre waiting for a new one.

>>96223428
In my defense, it has damage from me handling it while painting which needs to be repaired and repainted, and 2 of the last 3 units I've painted have been high-effort characters, and I have other units I need to paint. I'll mull it over.

>>96221917
I hope I'm not too late, I didn't consider how far ahead collageanon's timezone might be.

I've been losing a lot in my hobby league games but had a really fun and tough game today that I managed to squeeze out a win

>>96223967
Hell yeah brother, do you feel like it led to a some bits of better understanding on how to play your army?

>>96223461
this but with a more traditional mechanical leg would be 10/10

>>96222673
>>96222656
Janus was the progenitor of the GKs and has half of Magnus' soul, therefore he is also a primarch.

>>96223932
The tip cracked but I don't want to bother with it when I can just get a new one for about $5 or so since the mini-compressor still works so I don't need the full kit. I'll probably invest in a decent airbrush setup in the future after seeing what this thing can do despite being ultra shit. I really wasn't expecting anything quality given how cheap it is but I wish it worked for just a bit tad more before cracking. I used Molotow's Premium Graffiti spray can to "prime" what I have and it also worked out very decent, but an airbrush is just too good to pass.

>>96223447
>builds are difficult nowadays

you kiddies have no idea

>>96221691
Starchild bro

>>96223994
Meh. You don't even have to pin that.

>>96223983
Even a midrange clone is pretty good for most of the work we do in miniatures. I picked up a paasche(?) clone a decade ago with a hose, three needles, and tips for 40 maple bucks and it does everything I need it to

>>96223961
You're good, don't worry. I'll do the collage once I get back from work tomorrow. If we're lucky we might a few more stragglers.

>>96222639
nice checks

>>96223994
You are like baby, watch this

What do you think would GW do when from now on they would sell more Tau or Dark Elder minis than space marines.
1. Ignore it
2. hand over fist try to make new minis for them
3. make more fluff for them
4. be angry at the costumers for buying the wrong product
5. actively try to change it back

Star Child when

>>96221831
Also there should be kill teams for slaanesh and tzeentch
>kill team plague marines
>kill team goremongers
DG and WE got theirs but EC and TS are lacking some kind of team. Either a refresh of an existing kit (Rubrics are a bit dated, having come out in 2016) or something new (like Pleasure Cultists for EC). Hopefully, of course, not Tzaangors.

>>96224063
goremongers arent world eaters
plague marines are just recycled gacha boxes

Bouta Varnish my Grimnar and I am already done with the Warlord for next months Collage.

>>96224054
Wat

>>96221722
Where can I purchase a spinner?

>>96224054
100% ain’t happening, but if it did they’d definitely try to return to the status quo because they’ve already pumped so much in the space marines, and they’d likely fear that such a sudden shift to a new army could lead to more sudden shifts which would be way too unpredictable than corporate execs would like.

>>96224060
do grey knights become bad guys if the emperor rises again

>>96224065
Goremongers are explicitly a world eaters cultist unit, whose role is infiltration and scouting, as opposed to the normal WE units that kind of crash into things and kill them. KT has been used to add stuff to armies like Nemesis to the CSM that wouldn't normally be added that can be a benefit to the team.

>>96224080
goremongers are a detriment to world eaters
another unit wasted on non-WE models

>>96224067
He is saying in the hypothetical impossible scenario where Tau becomes the most popular army, would 40K pivot to portray tau as a plucky alliance of good humans, blue sexy girls, chickens and bees fighting the evil 'perium, or would they ignore it until people go back to only buying merines?

What armies can do a list where you have aircraft that transport meaningful troops around the board and shenanigans happen

>>96224076
No, because if the Emperor succeeds is rising then the Imperium is going to get Fall'd hard.

>>96224076
Well with the new lore about the Terminus Decree, yes.

>>96224084
GW has very clearly decided each Chaos Legion will have their own unique Cultist stand-in and for WE those are Jakhals/Goremongers, just like Negavolt cultists are for Vash'torr/Iron Warriors.

>>96224087
Eldar. A Falcon full of Fire Dragons, Dire Avengers, or Dark Reapers is going to royally fuck up someone's day.

>>96224087
Do Dark Eldar skyboats count?

>>96224098
>>96224096
fingers are crossed for something not-space-elves over here, preferably slightly tacticool

>>96224096
You meant Wave Serpent right?

>>96224094
don't care what those dogshit modelers want to waste resources on
they're not world eaters and never will be

>>96224087
Eldar and dark eldar transports all fly.
But I don't think anyone has a transport aircraft (as in uses the aircraft movement rules)

>>96224054
>What do you think would GW do when from now on they would
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

>>96224076
If the Emperor ascends it's basically another Slaanesh/Fall of the Eldar scenario in action and the Grey Knights become the Craftworlders of humanity desperately trying to stem the tide.

>>96223994
>>96224049
Kneel. KNEEL.

>>96224112
>Okay they're only present in the world eaters codex and have the world eaters keyword but I don't like them so you're wrong
Nta but you don't have to like them but it's hard to argue they aren't a world eaters unit

>>96224113
>But I don't think anyone has a transport aircraft (as in uses the aircraft movement rules)
Is the Valkyrie still a flyer?

>>96224108
Maybe Deathwatch but that really stretches the definition of "meaningful".

>>96224131
Why is this thing made of two different colored resins

>>96224139
they're not marines = they're not world eaters
just like tzaangors aren't thousand sons and poxwalkers aren't death guard
it's that simple

>>96223994
>>96224049

I built the entire metal line of "Cryx" for Warmachine. It's hundreds of models.

>>96223508
This. Mold lines and drilling are the actual issue. Assembling is easy nowadays

>>96223515
metal models are a pain, but the weighty feel is so nice

>>96224113
There are a few but I think they all have to be in hover mode to function as transports because the transport rules don't work well with aircraft movement rules.

>>96223994
my first model
holy hell did I set the wrong expectations for myself

>>96224155
>the weighty feel is so nice
The first time I picked an older metal model, I dropped it and broke its arm because I didn't know it was a metal one and picked it as if I was picking a lightweight plastic. I felt super shitty but the guy was super chill about it, he just used superglue on the spot.

>>96224087
>>96224113
Marines can transport 12 dudes AND a dreadnought in a stormraven for 280pts which because of keywords can be any dread including redemptor chassis, leviathan chassis, deredeo chassis and the humble boxnaught. You can even take Gravis, terminators, wulfen or jump packers in it

So Tyranids are pretty solidly done for this edition then, right? No chance of them getting another kill team or model or any more bonus detachments?

>>96224167
At least most kits you picked up afterwards would be fairly relaxing compared to him

>>96224069
I got it off Amazon. Search for electric turntable or rotating display stand.

>>96224197
Is the pilot of the stormraven primaris or firstborn by default?

>>96224200
Probably not, I think the kill team release we'll see will be the nl raptors and whoever they're up against, but we may see some detachments in white dwarf or something. You guys just got ravenous so I think you're done for now

>>96224155
If you put that dreadnought in a sock, you can kill a man with it.

>>96224038
Thanks, they're not mine tho. Found em on Google. They're real great huh?

>>96222230

>>96224230
It's a firstborn dude in the cockpit, all the flyers predate primaris

>>96224066
>already done
You know, the idea is to paint something that month
>grimnar
Ah i now it makes sense

>>96224261
Have they ever depicted an avatar of khaine winning in a fight before, I swear they always seem to be getting posterized by everyone they encounter

>>96224274
Avatar of khaine is 40k's worf

least seen faction ITTs?

>>96224274
There was one that got left on a planet the nids invaded and then continued to kill them for a month. When the eldar regrouped and returned he was still fighting on a literal mountain of nid corpses.

>>96224274
No, it's kinda just there to be a big monster to smack around.

>>96224283
Ynnari, by technicality.

>>96224283
In three or four years here I've never seen Ynnari, only ever saw one cwe poster and one harlequin poster.

>>96221722
Working on Nu-Dante rn. I was thinking of kitbashing the mini to make it look closer to the old Dante but desu the new look has really grown on me. Still debating if I want to swap out the jump pack with the old style.

>>96224066
Pretty lame

>>96224274
>Have they ever depicted an avatar of khaine winning in a fight before
Never. Even when they released new mini article on the site was about who kills Avatar with his new rules (turns out everyone)

>>96224303
He needs proper wings.

>>96224283
I don't recall seeing any Dark Eldar models here.

>>96224313
we have like 3 different deldarfags with armies here

>>96224311
I see why people think that but I always liked that he didn't have wings. Preference thing.

>>96224297
>>96224302
Well speak of the devil.

>>96224283
Probably ec, harlequins, deathwatch, IH, IF, are all tied for second least popular having one poster each this year or so. I don't think I've ever seen anyone post their RG or WS here though

I cannot get my camera to focus on more than a very specific plane of depth to save my life but here's the rest of the band, such that it is. The guy in the middle was a test print for one of our filament printers where I work, it's one of the things that got me thinking about picking the hobby pack up. I was halfway through a KT set when the new collage challenge started so I'm back to those guys now. Thanks again for the highlighting tips.

>>96224313
There's one with bone colored deldar anon, one with greenish teal deldar, and another teal anon who doesn't base his stuff but I havent seen him in months and months

>>96224304
Its just coincidental, I purchased him and started before the vote but he is a perfect candidate.

>>96224331
If you only have one half built character I don't know if you can really say you're a ynnari poster. Have fun painting her though, she's a cool looking sculpt

Janus mention makes me think you might be familiar with my Blood Ravens origin theory. Here is another theory for you fellow fa/tg/uy from a real four channel schizo.

The Terminus Decree is named such as not to describe a condition to be executed against the Emperor but the Grey Knights themselves. If the Emperor were to "break containment" from the Golden Throne it would be obvious that the Custodians would be right force to contain such a failure. Instead I believe, as revealed to me in my dreams, that the Emperor achieving release from the Golden Throne would instigate a final action of the Grey Knights. The 666th Chapter would undergo the "Terminus Decree" a ritualized self sacrifice of themselves for an act that only they are capable of and were originally designed for. The "Shaman" theory of the birth of the Emperor claims that in Humanity's early history the Emperor was born from the warp fusion of a collection of powerful souls consciously sacrificing themselves to reconstitute within the warp and birth into realspace the Emperor. My idea of the truth behind the Terminus Decree is that upon the Emperor absconding the Golden Throne the Grey Knights would perform this ritualized self sacrifice as a catalyst to reform the Emperor to return to the duty of stemming the empyerean from breaching realspace. Remember the Grey Knights were hand crafted from the Emperor's own genetic stock and are all warp attuned. The idea that they act as a real space reserve of the Emperor to "break incase of emergency" could hold true if the Shaman warp fusion theory holds merit.

tl;dr Emperor finally blinks and Chaos begins to spill into reality in a doomed future Grey Knights all an hero and their constitute Emperor genetics and warp presence reconstitute into Pure Shard Emperor/Starchild who mantles the Golden Throne yet again

>>96224333
I can't figure out how to take nice pictures of that many minis either.

>>96224350
you're banned from the collages, why do you even try

>>96224369
Not forever, its temporary.

>>96224350
I don't know if that fits the spirit of the collage. It's one thing to finish something early it's another thing to finish something before the vote was even decided

Have you tried locking the aperture? Sometimes autofocus struggles when trying to focus on tonnes of little details. Locking the aperture and messing with the focus manually should help a lot

>>96224366
I think Inquisitor Czevak might be a tiny bit bazedddd

>>96224382
Don't be so Negative

Today my opponent wanted to overwatch me after making a charge to its vehicle but I didn't let him as [Big Guns Never Tire] work only in the controlling player's turn so he wouldn't get it during my turn. Does this also apply to pistols, say you make a successful charge to an enemy and get in the engagement range and they wanna overwatch you with pistols? I don't believe it does as pistol is only works in the controlling players turn but just wanted some clarification.

>>96224274
the book warboss has an avatar of khaine fighting three warbosses and coming out winning. there is a caveat in that it was made way easier because two of the warbosses end up sabotaging each other earlier on in the fight, and the avatar takes advantage with the blood axe warboss saying that they could have easily killed it if they fought together, but that’s not to be necessarily believed because the entire book has the orks portrayed as unreliable narrators way overestimating their own competence, so i’ll give it to the avatar just because he needs a W and no matter the circumstances surrounding it he objectively won the fight.

>>96224393
Sounds fun. What are you thinking for paintschemes. Also how many revenants are you going to buy

>>96224387
tl;dr Malcador creates the Grey Knights for the Emperor after attempting to "save" a Thousand Sons loyalist marine (secretly using the "pure shard" of Magnus to create Janus who, in my opinion, was going to be an alternative to Magnus to occupy the Golden Throne. )

Janus is found wanting, to occupy the Golden Throne and as the """Primarch"""" of the Grey Knights, but the flesh change scoured gene seed he possesed is reserved as the foundational stock for the Blood Ravens. The Blood Ravens are established as a gift from the Emperor to Malcador in recognition of the establishment of the Grey Knights, with the Blood Ravens serving not only as the eternal extension of the Sigilite tradition that Malcador carried but forming the de facto chamber militant of the Ordo Hereticus during the time of the scouring acting as the Inquiitorial/mind wiped Astartes chapter designated as such by Malcador "the bureaucrat" to carry out Edicts of Obliteration and further prosecute the Sigilite's "Secret War" against Rogal Dorn. Eventually the Sisters of Battle are established as the Ordo Hereticus chamber militant the same years as when the Blood Ravens are released into the Imperium at large.

Ideally you want a decent camera with a high focal length, if your phone has multiple cameras try the telephoto ones. Other than that you can look into focus stacking.

>>96224427
I already got a Black and Purple/Red scheme.
No Revenants for me, bit too big. Ghostglaive Wraithknight and the Yncarne will probably be the biggest I go for it.

>>96224060
Never. In fact I want some eldar to create a vessel for isha only for a star child to be born and they kill it out of fear.

Mine are only partially built and painted. I was doxxed back in 2018 from posting my other army on here though by someone locally and fuck that nightmare happening again.

I just have a phone camera, it's pretty decent but not really up to this kind of task. I'll see about adjusting those settings you recommended, it's a Galaxy 21 and it has a 'pro' mode I never touch so I'll poke around there. Thanks!

The Grey Knights are the Ordo Malleus chamber militant intended to be the stop gap of demonic incursion that the Emperor can't contain during hi vigil on the Golden Throne, they're secreted and dear being very specific anti-daemon weapons alongside the Emperors efforts.

The Blood Ravens are a disposable, bureaucratic institution during the Scouring and up until m36 acting as an Inquisitorial cudgel to execute the ultimate bureaucratic maneuver the Edict of Obliteration. While the individual Blood Ravens carrying out these actions against Heretical Imperial elements and their fellow Astartes are consistently mind wiped by the Inquisition the chapter's "Secret Masters" of the Ordo Psykana are organizing and executing the operations without any acknowledgement of the details. These actions between m30-m36 are where the Blood Ravens acquire their vast Imperial connections, Inquisitorial seals, and a massive collection of "stolen"(seized) Astartes wargear. The Blood Ravens are the only true Inquisitorial asset with mentions of the the Red Hunters, Red Scorpions, Exorcists, and Minotaurs (SM+Custodian joint ops) all being "declassified" reports fit to publish of the Blood Ravens Inquisitorial actions.

Im more interested in the connection to Malcador though, we already know the inquisition has a few pet chapters like the Minotaurs and Excorcists you refer to. We're the Blood Ravens to just be among that list or were they special (outside of their founder being intended for the golden throne)
and how much of this is confirmed or head canon?

I'm assembling their kill team now actually, it's why I'm wondering if they'd make for a fun and stylish 40k army, being very 'paratrooper' focused as an army theme

How would anon do high tech bows in 40k?

>>96224787
we already have crossbows, why would we need bows?
that being said, exodites should use them

>>96224787
Some kind of advanced energy weapon like a lightsaber-esque weapon that's safe to grab with the right gloves. Then you can somehow pull it back for an energy projectile.

>>96224787
Filament spinner accelerators where the action of "drawing the string" is actually unspooling a monofilament wire that when released is then accelerated like a blade through the air incredible speed. Basic Eldar tech, different application.

What paints would you use to highlight black clothes, /40kg/?

>>96224867
fuck i really should refresh before replying to a post.

>>96224870
I would paint using a dark grey instead of black

>>96224787
I wouldn't. Bows don't offer any advantage over conventional scifi guns. They only "work" as one-off *psychic* weapons for which the form-factor of a primitive bow can at least be justified with collective subconscious instinctively understanding it as a threat, or the symbolism being integral to it working, or it being the manifestation of the user's intent or whatever.

>>96224865
Take her dress off. Let her embrace the nature state of being an Eldar.

>>96224877
Modern bows made with modern materials are insanely OP. They are shorter range and require tons of work to learn and use (you have to be yoked) but they can punch holes in cars and kevlar.

>>96224877
counterpoint: they look cool

Since 30k space marines translate rather easily to 40k, I'm wondering how well does the auxilia translates to 40k using the guard codex?

>velatris guys with volkites and can count-as plasma gunners in regular squads, axe guys can probably be passed off as sergeants
>heavy flamer and rotor cannon guys are probably out tho?
>no heavy weapon squads or cavalry for the auxilia might be a problem in 40k

>>96224870
I like dark reaper>russ grey>fenrisian grey

>>96224883
Her ass is unfortunately not as big under the dress.

>>96224893
To be expected. Eldar are known to be sticks.

>>96224885
If it can kill an elephant it can kill a chaos spawn.

>>96224769
Firebats are closer to Agressors, though.

>>96224885
An untrained peasant with 15 minute of training and even a conventional 21th century firearm can "punch holes in cars and kevlar" from a greater distance than a bow, can sustain a much, much higher rate of fire, can carry much, much more ammunition on the march and the weapon has much, much longer lifespan.

>>96224868
/s4s/ stole it from /bnat/.

>>96224909
that doesn't look nearly as cool as a bow though

>>96224909
>untrained peasant with 15 minute of training
>21th century
Yeah yeah, ESL and all that. My point stands though.

>>96224909
okay, and the same could be said about fucking swords you retard and yet 90% of 40k units have some sort of sword or spear. the penetrative power of a sci bow can easily be explained to be far far above conventional firearms just like they are in real life.

>>96224866

>>96224928
/yourdudes/. No contest

>>96224919
I don't think you understand the argument.
Bows are useless because there already are guns, which are objectively better ranged weapons than bows for all practical applications.
40k has close combat weapons because there is a shitton of close combat. Orks and nids are horde armies that frequently overwhelm enemy positions with mass charges, having a ccw is a matter of survival.
In terms of ccw you are basically arguing for use of a combat knife when power fists are readily available.

>>96224928
/mydudes/
yours are shit

PICTURE UNRELATED

>>96224928
/mydudes/ (not /yourdudes/, specifically and literally /mydudes/) obviously

>>96224889
30k looks serious and "real", 40k looks more cartoony and exaggerated. Like the 30k legions have more unique models- such as Salamander Firedrakes or Word Bearers Argel Tal, but it all looks like it wants you to take it completely at face value that this is a re-enactment of an old terrible conflict like Flames of War or Napoleon. Meanwhile 40k is like "look at these sloppity bobble farters, the death guard is litty af". Compare the elite looking Auxilia to the Krieg IG with their weird looking space horses.

>>96224956
>a combat knife when power fists are readily available.
Easier to make, easier to store, lighter, and many other benefits.

do you guys still want 40k to be like hh3

Will there ever be a starter box with no marines in it?

>>96224996
Maybe a guard box if you're lucky, but most likely no

>>96224996
I want a starter box with no LOYALISTS in it

>>96224956
Bows are better than guns in many situations you retard. Especially lasguns. You aren't as smart as you think you are. But here is a compromise: the bow gun.

>>96224967
>>96224986
is the new astartes show out yet?

>>96224982
Lorewise, no, HH has its place but the larger than life insanity of 40k is a central part of what makes it fun.

Gamewise the rules are ok I hear, but the faction and model variety is not. I'm not interested in endless marine mirror matches.

>>96224996
>>96225004
Gw would lose money on that so no not gonna happen.

>>96225018
bro, they made an all marine starter box for HH, and that shit FLOPPED. HARD. I think its reasonable to believe that marines are no longer what they once were. Gone are the marines, in with the chaos.

>>96225026
chaos are marines

>>96225026
I think that is because the rules for Horus heresy 3.0 are said to be terrible.

Post a timestamped video of you burning your 40k collection or else you're a fag.

why dont army of renown exist anymore?

>>96224699
It's all head canon. Confirmed is Janus being cured of the flesh change by Malcador's use of the arcane machinery of the Imperial Palace on Tera by combining his broken body with the "Pure Shard" of Magnus the Red. It's my speculation that Malcador performed this action to create a potential candidate for a desperate last ditch effort to occupy the Golden Throne (which he later did himself).

Malcador connection is again head canon, though perhaps slightly more confirmed with the introduction of Kaspor ( >>96224481 ) and largely has to do with the storyline of Revuel Arvida, Thousand Sons loyalist who became the Grey Knight Janus, being the fulfillment of a prophetic claim regarding the Thousand Sons and a "Raven of Blood". The Blood Ravens descend from Janus is important because it works around ADB's claim that BLOOD RAVENS ARENT LOYALIST THOUSAND SONS!!!!!!11!! because Janus is a wholly separate being.

The Exorcists/Minotaurs/Red Hunters/Scorpions claims have a lot to do with the meta contextual real world manufacturing/IP process. Specifically the lore for the Exorcists and the Blood Ravens demon possession entirely overlapping. Red Hunters/Red Scorpions only require the smallest logical step to make that mind wiped Inquisitorial agent Astartes can be dressed up in whatever ceramite the Inquisition deems appropriate and if you're entertaining the idea you can make the logical conclusions to understand that there's no possible """hard evidence"""" to prove any of these chapters actually exist and aren't on paper codenames for the Inquisition. Again in the meta context of the Blood Ravens game production and time line of the Imperial Armor that came out featuring those chapters I believe that the IA Astartes were likely published as a "proofing" of potential Blood Ravens explanations/origins. Basically cutting off potential claims by being able to point to the Red Hunters or Minotaurs when you make a suggestion at the Blood Ravens origins.

Big E is good but very autistic. John Spaceman can't be bad. No. Why do this

>>96225170
Also incase you didn't know the "Sigilites" were bloody magpies themselves hence the cultural significance of their "tradition" of cultivating relics.

>>96225188
>>96225198
"""""It's supposed to be a possibility, not a fact.""""" was the original hard claim as the demands of the corporate canon loremasters must necessarily defend the interests of the stock holders and make product as profitable as possible via hard deflection to protect the egos of adult plastic toy soldier enjoyers who would boycott the company if their very specific interpretation of things had the door shut on it.

More realistically though 40k being a young adult teaching tool for a bunch of different life skills including ""media literacy"" and being able to infer and craft your own theories from presented information is more of an important aspect to maintain then nailing down any one "definitive" answer. We'll err on the side of noble intent with protecting this process.

That being said in recent years there have been a bunch of developments on the Thousand Sons lore front that interact with previous Blood Ravens lore that paint the picture, at least in mind, which I've shared with you.

>>96225198
>>96225188
I agree that ADB has hard retconned BR being loyalist Tsons. I agree he is the head of lore for GW. I also know it is not JUST ADB that is responsible for that change.

However, they were clearly written to be Tsons and I enjoy it. So that's the world I live in.

>>96225198
Damn that retard?
>>96225224
>the head of ip, loremaster, editors, etc saying leave it open ended and it's unconfirmed
Okay, so it's just open ended not 100% they're not, like lots of stuff in the lore.

Who were the writers who came up with the Blood Ravens at presumably Relic?

>>96225053
Traitor guard vs space marines

Was thinking of getting a BA captain, but the combat patrol is good value for collecting BA-specific models. Looking at the other chapters/first founding shattered legions, all of them are nice and thematic and kewl with bikes for White scars (plus their new captain) and techmarine for iron hands. And the space wolves one is nice too, so is black templars. All of them are nice EXCEPT FOR THE FUCKING DARK ANGELS WHY YHE FUCK DOES IT CONTAIN LITERALLY NO DA SPECIFIC OR THEMATIC MODELS WHAT THE HELL. WOULD IT KILL YOU TO THROW IN SOME INNER CIRCLE GUYS OR A JUDICIAR.

>>96221917
First time doing imperium models, Might have went a bit overboard with the weathering and the bases are a bit boring. I'm still pretty happy with them though, they're going in the Ratling killteam.

>“‘It’s too late… the Wolf is at the door and it hungers for blood. Oh, Throne… no, the blood! The Ravens, I see them too. The lost sons and a Raven of blood. They cry out for salvation and knowledge, but it is denied! A brother betrayed, a brother murdered. The worst mistake for the noblest reason! It cannot happen, but it must!’”

>>96225323
Sure, I reinstalled it a few months ago after not playing it much since release and it's almost a different game. You have customizable skill trees, the weapon grind has been mitigated with mechanicus consecration/refining, it plays smooth and stable for me when it didn't before. Best I can tell all of the classes are equally fun to play and good enough that there's no "useless" class by capital-G Gamer standards. Plus the atmosphere and music fucking slaps. If you're on the fence about it I'd wait for a sale if $40 is a big ask.
