have you decided what character you'll be working on for the august collage?

>TQ
I have a space marine lt but I wont submit it until hes unbanned

>>96232188
Kill yourself

>tq
I should do my gravis captain I guess

Finishing this aberrant, what colour do you think is good for the tongue? I'm leaning towards a regular pink or a bright blue.

>>96232181 (OP)
>TQ
Either Lord Marshal Drier or a Krieg Command Squad, not sure which yet.

Also has the full updated collage for july been posted yet?

>>96232181 (OP)
>TQ
maybe a warpsmith, maybe a traitor enforcer
got a few other options but I might save them for whenever we get the kitbash vote

>>96232188
Ty for the support

>>96232226
Yea I like regular pinkish red

>>96232181 (OP)
>TQ
I've got a chaos lord on foot I'm working on. Or master of executions. Technically it's just a guy with slightly fancier armor and a two handed chainsword so I guess he's whatever character I want him to be, but either way, should be able to bang him out in a couple weeks.

>>96232226
Blue would look pretty cool

>>96232181 (OP)
>TQ
Is it just any character or specifically character of a faction you don't play like the one poll option from a while back?
If the former, probably traktor beam Big Mek. If the latter, gonna buy a Coldstar and make a Shas'O Hustle

Slow tonight, I am playing my bros ultra marines tomorrow prob just gonna bring Knights instead of Wolves.

>>96232181 (OP)
Looks like it’s gonna be Farsight.

>>96232377
It's any character.

What's all this hullabaloo about new Raptors vs Celestians?

What do we know so far?

Temptation to make a booru grows.

>>96232411
Very tidy

>>96232407
Can I be on the fridge?

>>96232416
I'll think about it, I've still got all the images but I'd need to ask everybody what they think before I upload them elsewhere

>>96232420
If you've got a model that you're the most proud of just reply to the fridge with it atteached and the fridgeanon will add it on

>>96232411
Fast work, but very sloppy.
>>96232418
It's not tidy at all. The gems are bad, the aquila around the neck doesn't have a defined edge, the filigree on the belt buckle is unpainted, the highlights on the black armor are basically random.

almost finished with my newest army project. Wraithknight is next.

>>96232181 (OP)
>the august collage?
Newfag here, what's that?

>>96232441
Post your own tidy work.

>>96232442
>actually painted eldar army
They said it couldn't be done.

>>96232423
I mean it would just be a booru for us.

>>96232441
Nta
Where's the sloppiness on that terminator
What you're describing isn't sloppy

>>96232453
Till he posts a model disregard.

>>96232441
It's plenty tidy, I think you're just being overcritical

>TQ
This fella

>>96232451
It's just not something I'm familiar with at all, so I worry it's not going to work or meet people's expectations. I also have never hosted anything outside halo 3 custom games so even if it's something I'd like to pursue, it'd be a while for me to get it all figured out

>>96232442
Very nice

>>96232407
Oh cool, my chimera is on there. I smiled.

>>96232460
based choice
have you decided what colors you are gonna use?

>>96232443
Every month we have a poll to decide a theme for a monthly painting challenge and then at the end of the month, everyone's work is put into a collage. This will be the 3rd collage we've done.

>>96232407
Add my model when you get a chance please

>>96232514
Ban evasion.

>>96232505
That's awesome, did you decide August then or is the poll still out?

96232514
This is why everybody hates you

>>96232441
>but very sloppy
Nigger let's see your work then.

>>96232518
>>96232520
Calm down and relax please

>>96232519
August's theme is "character/warlord"

>>96232514
You already know you have a lifetime ban

>>96232531
No I do not “know’ that, he put a timer but seems to be warming up to the idea of letting me on early.

I can't paint swords for shit

>>96232411
good job anon
>>96232442
wraiths are the coolest eldar option

>>96232536
Glowing power swords or just metallic swords in general?

>>96232181 (OP)
Callidus Assassin in a one-piece bikini

>>96232534
Nope, fridgefag is different from collagefag and said you have a lifetime ban
And collagefag is already leaning towards rescinding the offer of you getting on eventually since you've had 2 months to clean your act up with no real changes

>>96232545
‘No real changes’ , are you insane, I have removed all derogatory numbers and have been posting new shit on the reg and you are still harassing me. Why try and improve if you’re just going to bitch at me anyway?

>>96232551
You avatarfag and throw shit even when you get no attention

stop fucking replying to him

>>96232556
I post models when relevant that is all, you are just picking on me.

>>96232557
Hell samefag his decalslop even if we ignore him, no point

>>96232542
Metallic swords in general. I want to graduate from just "slop a wash on it and you're good to go" but all my attempts so far haven't turned out very well. I know nobody really cares what generic trooper #32's sword looks like but I care.

>>96232557
Yes please I agree stop being nasty and replying to me with aggressive rhetoric

>>96232565
I fell you my peep, it’s all repetition in my experience.

>>96232485
My old cryptek used a silvery blue on the back panels to stand out from the crowd, but this one is probably going to match up with the dark green panels and gold detailing over iron warriors / leadbelcher base and layer that I've been painting my newer crons in. His job will be to lead the wraith squad that I'm also doing in lead, green and gold.

>>96232534
Seems pretty final to me

>>96232579
Well then I hope he reconsiders but I will respect his decision.

>>96232584
You've said that multiple times and then just end up asking to be allowed in thread activities like a day later

>>96232465
I'll look into doing it tomorrow. Its cheap, like 5 bucks a month, as long as schizos dont DDOS it.

>>96232594
I don’t remember him rejecting me outright to be honest but if he says so there is nothing I can do if the mods won’t intervene.

>>96232597
>I'm gonna tattle to the mods!!!
This is also why everybody hates you

>>96232602
I’m not tattling I am just acknowledging the fact that they have been silent during this bullshit drama.

>>96232608
They don't care or have any say over your redditor ass being excluded from thread events

>>96232615
Ok and I am good with that but will still try and win back their approval. That is all

>>96232617
You avatarfagging and melting down every day isn't winning back anybody's approval

>>96232617
NTA but it would help to just close the "reply to this post" window without hitting send when you inevitably catch hate. If the thread gets filled up with an argument nobody really cares who started it, they just become annoyed that it's happening again. Just let it go.

Everyone quick! Post one of the following. HARD MODE: post 3 or more of the following in one reply

Malakim's Ante were a small strike team of Lamenters, sent off to the far reaches of the galaxy to reclaim lost wargear in hopes of bolstering the diminished armory of the chapter. While searching the edge of the Ghoul Star's they received a call from Baal claiming a massive Tyranid hivefleet was approaching the homeworld of the Blood Angels and that their assistance was required to help fend off the assault. Upon setting off through the warp for Baal they encountered a massive warp storm and became stranded for what felt like 100 days. Unbeknownst to them, this was the machinations set forth by the great Khorne Daemon Prince Cha'gath Akz'Hur, who continually cast teeming hordes of daemonic entities upon the castaway marines. During their time spent within the space between realities, a large portion of their forces became stricken with the curse carried by their progenitors, known as the Red Thirst and Black Rage. Large portions of the strike team were lost to the infighting, and those that survived carried with them a great shame left from delivering the Emperors Peace to their former brethren. Those that carried the burden of felling the most of their kin became known as The Benevolent, and began to paint their armour in colours of mourning, as a means of recognizing the great sin they had committed. Eventually the warp entity seemed to grow tired of toying with the marines and spat them out into the orbit of Baal where they could witness the true destruction that befell the once great homeworld. Stricken with the grief of losing their brothers, the shame of failing to aid the Blood Angels in time, they set out on the galaxy with a new quest. One of hatred. One of revenge. To seek out the dark forces that tore their family asunder, they now patrol the edge of the Great Rift stalking whatever occult evils that unfortunately find themselves in their path

>>96232632
had my first games in a while a couple weeks back, one of my opponents was a guy I used to play 3rd ed with, he's still collecting black templars
got utterly smoked in the first game, my battlewagon got blown up the first turn of its first game, which has happened more than once when I field a new vehicle. My bike warboss wiped out most of a templar squad but they used a fight on death strat to still do a lot of damage, and on the other flank my warboss and nobz failed a charge and got lit up
Hopefully will get games in again next weekend, might try my CSMs or Dark Eldar

whats the marine nos side of leviathan worth now in Australia?

The Logans side by side

>>96232696
Why even give him a new model the old one was epic.

>>96232709
Not decalmutant but I like the new model quite a bit. I also just like their captain model with the round shield. Not that I would ever buy woofs myself.

This 3D printed ogryn finally arrived for the character/warlord collage. I'll say it is a Nork Deddog proxy if Nork is allowed to be a character and/or warlord.
Also I'm gonna prop him up with I guess could count as a terrain piece which is a plinth for a recast oldhammer model if it ever arrives.
Should I paint the guy as a hulk hogryn tribute, Blaine from Predator with hat or just go with my own colours?

Wow that is pretty aggressive. I will respect your decision and never request the fridge again. Good luck anon.

>>96232735
genuinely pogging, 100 years good luck on you sir.

>>96232551
>Why try and improve if you’re just going to bitch at me anyway?
The thing you will never get is that no matter how much you brag about getting rid of numbers on your minis or supposedly posting new shit, or how you're totally a good boy now, the damage has already been done. Everybody knows what your true character is like by now - a whiny brat that gets upset when things don't go his way and dismissive when any proper criticism comes his way. We've seen it time and time again, between your original Marine Vehicle posting with all the decals, your whining about how you're not allowed on the fridge or in collages, whenever you're called out by other anons, and so on.

The only person that's responsible for all the shit you get in these threads is you. You've shown what kind of person you truly are time and time again, with little actual self improvement over several months at this point. No one here can willingly take you seriously because you yourself don't take most of the things you say here seriously.

Honestly, the only thing at this point that will potentially help here is that if you either A) stop posting your models because they only ever attract shitposting and derail threads, or B) stop posting altogether. You've turned yourself into a laughing stock in these threads, and no amount of "improvements" will fix that. Unfortunately, I know you'll do neither of those suggestions and continue on your ways like you have been for the last 4 months.

tl;dr, Fuck off from these threads not for our sake, but for your own.

>>96232657
>>96232696
>>96232723
>>96232750
This is why you'll never be welcome here or unbanned from events
You make a post saying "get back on-topic" expecting bumpats for it then immediately go back to spamming and seething
Do you think this operates on a points system where you do enough good boy posts and you get unbanned? You're so pathetically transparent with this fake motion to better yourself when you can't even hold back from crying about every single post mildly insulting you
Imagine if the lamentranny or orange and tealfag or sallyfag threw tantrums over every single shitpost directed at them, they've all been hated on for literal years and somehow managed to never turn into spastic freaks like you

>>96232804
You have to conform to a certain ideology to be allowed as a participant.

>>96232662
Did you have a fun game though?

>>96232804
We vote on a monthly theme and you can paint up that theme of model for that month and get out on a collage
As long as you're not a raging sperg like somebody else who just replied to you

>>96232817
Yea ok bitch tits

>>96232804
For the monthly collage you work on a model based on a theme we pick monthly. The theme for August is a warlord/character. The collage anon will post an actor post for you to submit near the end of every month. The fridge is for models you're most proud of. If you'd like to submit, simply reply to the fridgeking and he'll add you

In 1v1 combat would any of the 4 Demon Gods be able to defeat the Void Dragon at full strength?

Shut the fuck up ban evading avatarfag

>>96232815
>Did you have a fun game though?
yeah, if nothing else because its good to hang out with the lads and I can laugh off a catastrophic loss or two. We're mostly just relearning the game anyway. Hopefully can keep it on the regular now

>>96232845
Take your meds

>>96232839
I think they are evenly matched as aspects of their own realities,

As much as I dislike tripcodes, the decal guy should really just get one at this point

>M-meds!!!
Faggot you literally owned up to ban evading this morning then after people pointed out you could get IP banned for that you started going u-uh actually I never got banned hehe

>>96232852
Im considering it at this point

>>96232855
Please do, it'll make it so much easier to filter all your dogshit models and temper tantrums

>>96232852
If I was a janny or a mod, I'd just force a tripcode/name onto him so people can filter.

>>96232866
Wish I could filter you too

>>96232871
Why?

>>96232871
You know you could just not hit send right? That you would be instantly 40% more tolerable if you didn't sperg out at every single reply you get? Why are you on 4chan if you can't handle people being mean to you?

>>96232873
Yea because not responding has worked so well for this general, come on man the mods are letting this schizo run rampant.

>>96232442

>>96232873
>Why are you on 4chan if you can't handle people being mean to you?
He came originally from reddit. Make a guess why.

>>96232877
Yea because nobody here has been on Reddit

Thread is already going swimmingly I see

>>96232873
He's a redditcunt treating thos place like a reddit thread.

>>96232442
Very cool, kinda like the aspects done in matching colour even though I did my own aspects more traditional

>>96232875
>come on man the mods are letting this schizo run rampant
Yeah for some reason they refuse to ban him for avatarfagging and spamming

>>96232888
Go to bed anon you’re drunk

>>96232876
arigatou

You complain about thread enshittening and wanting to filter and you keep giving him replies without fail, day after day after fucking day. You are doing it right now. How about you follow your own advice and shut the fuck up? He loves this shit. You are validating his shitty behavior by rewarding it with attention.

>>96232875
Oh you're back to the mentally ill cope that everybody who hates you is actually the same person decalmutant? What happened to trying to be better?
Do I need to tap the sign?

>>96232906

Too busy painting bad guys because everyone in my group only plays imperium

>>96232735
What's stopping anybody from just taking this image and putting pictures of their own models on the fridge?

>>96232942

>>96232945

>>96232632
I spent an hour today brewing 1K lists using the contents of the Combat Patrol magazine as a starting point with some guidelines
>Everything in the initial retail Combat Patrol boxes has to be included
>The bonus models the magazine threw in are optional
>If I already have a model from somewhere else I should slot that in first (ie: Kommandos from KT in Orks)
>Marines goes full Salamanders, adds in the bonus Brutalis Dread, Adrax Agatone, a 10-man Infernus blob, and some Eradicators
>Nids just get some Warriors for the Winged Tyranid Prime to lead and some Hive Guard for the Hive Tyrant
>Eldar get Jain Zar since their bonus model are some Howling Banshees along with some Fire Dragons cause the models look cool
>CSM & World Eaters trade bonus models (CSM get the Forgefiend, WE get the Daemon Prince)
>CSM went Iron Warriors flavorwise and get a Warpsmith to go with the Forgefiend/Helbrute and a Sorcerer Terminator to lead the Terminator blob
>World Eaters get the Prince + Kharn and a squad of Exalted Eightbound
>Orks get a Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun to lead the Boyz, a 3-man Meganobz squad for the Warboss, the aforementioned Kommandos, and another 10-man blob of Boyz
>Votann I got lazy since the range is so small and the Old Combat Patrol + the new one + the freebie Hearthguard/Thunderkyn the magazine gives you an even 920 points. I'll probably redo this one when the codex drops
>I already have a shit-ton of Guard stuff so I just doubled up on the FOB/Sentinel and added a Krieg command squad/infantry squad in place of the Cadian squad. I also added a Leman Russ because it fit the leftover points and a Rogal Dorn feels like too much for 1k points.
>GSC was easy since their old Combat Patrol was stacked, so its that + Jackals/Brood Coven (Their bonus stuff) + some Genestealers for the Patriarch to lead)

I will probably only commit to making only half of these lists and only because I have a bunch of those models already (Guard, World Eaters)

>>96232942
Because you get no satisfactory out of cheating

>>96232950

Painted this guy up last Friday for an LGS contest.

/mydudes fluff/: I guess I could loosely call the colors homebrew stuff, seeing as I made a fairly generic background for my Cult. They're from an ice deathworld that exports pure water and whatever minerals are distilled during the purification process - so lot of orange jumpsuits on infantry, and most characters are a bit more prison guard-y. Also flamers. I just like flamers. I don't really have a cult name yet, but I was thinking like The Warmth of His Embrace or something fire-related.

Don't really do batreps, but I can say my favorite moment with GSC was an Abominant charging up the board, fighting a Murderfang into a mutual death with Saintly Paroxysms, then standing up and moving on to beat several Intercessors to death. I want to name him once I finish painting him.

Drybrush with screaming skull and lighter with pallid wych flesh. Apply some dry pigments - I use sand and gypsum from scale75. Fix the pigments, add some tufts to taste and it's done
>colour recipes
I spent some time refining the gold recipe so I think it's worth sharing. Retributor armor basecoat, shaded with a 1:1 mix of gore-grunta fur and magos purple contrasts. Mixing a flesh and purple wash works as well but contrasts provide a richer color. Do a couple passes for deeper recesses. Clean up with retributor. Layer towards parts that would reflect light by mixing in ttc glistening gold(liberator gold) into retributor armor and then canoptek alloy into glistening gold. Highlight upward facing edges
with pure canoptek alloy.

Will a month even be enough?

Hey everyone. Thanks for all the submissions, very nice stuff this month. Just wanted to pop in and say that I've started working on the collage, digging for submissions in the archive right now. Expect the collage later today/sunday morning.

>>96232958

>>96233190
Man I sure hope so. I'll start building him later today. Something this big took me 2-3 weeks before so it should be fine

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>96233191
appreciate it collageanon

>>96233190
>>96233203
honestly the big bird is a reasonably simple kit to build and paint, its got details but not as many and not as small as you might expect so I'd imagine its doable

It's a fake reaction for engagement farming.

What the fuck happened to 40k,
I started playing in 7th and it's like every edition I need to buy another fucking unit just to still have the same point value on the table.

Why is everything 30% cheaper

>>96233375
That's not true anon and if you lived here you'd know it

>>96233369
Haha don't worry about it just keep driving and if someone steps in front of your car haha don't worry about that either just keep driving

>>96233479
so you buy another fucking unit

>>96233489
But I won't I'll just play 750 pt games instead of 1k

>>96233479
GW likes money. Forcing you to buy models makes them more money.

Also 40k is pretty much heading into the same shithole direction as WHF was going in before it was killed, ie. armies became so retardedly big and needed so many models that no new players want to play it because it was prohibitively expensive to make an army.

>>96232852
>>96232854
carnac this is just you pretending “he” is a second person and not just you samefagging

>>96233499
>because it was prohibitively expensive to make an army.
Out of curiosity, what did an army cost in 8th edition WHFB?

>>96233495
lmao, no, you won't

>>96233514
it depends on the army, some still had units in resin/metal which costed significantly more than normal plastic stuff

but aside from that, one of the issues was that you didn't have that many point sinks in big centerpieces that were actually viable, so you ended up making most of your army about the troops, and especially the ugly ass basic troops
it demoralises newcomers massively when you tell them you would better buy 5 times the basic skeleton box and forget about the big cool dragon kit altogether

>>96233495
FYI, 1k games are about the smallest the community is willing to go these days. Combat Patrol as a micro game is bad and game balance really suffers with certain units having no answers in some matchups. The game is balanced around 2K points and it shows.

>>96233522
I'm looking for a number, really. Because I have the sneaking suspicion that it is a price point many of us have already paid for a Modern 40K Army without even batting an eyelash.

>>96233527
that's very probable
I'm not that anon, I don't think the average cost of an army has decreased at all, on the contrary

>>96233516
Sorry nogames that's exclusively what I do and have done some 7th. Big games are retarded who has 5 hours for a game of toy soldiers.

750 pts of well painted models on a good board with painted terrain is peak

>>96233549
What kind of list do you run at 750? Do you play on a full size board like the rules suggest for a game of that size or a half sized combat patrol board?

>Is a better version of Tau

>>96233524
>Playing with the "community" instead of a comfy friend group

Ew

>>96233567
We play on a 44 x 30

My CSM list will be something like
>Terminator Sorc
>5x CSM
>2 x 10 cultists
>Helbrute
>5 raptors
>2 chaos spawn

Or I have fart Smelldar which will be like
>Archon
>10 kabalites
>2x5 wracks
>2x5 scourges
>Cronos engine


Honestly fuck pushing around 30+ models in a movement phase that shits so gay

>>96233569
I see them as practically a spin off faction of tau, tbqhwy

>>96233591
I'm a nogames but I have to admit this sounds pretty comfy

>>96233191
carnac you never leave

Alright guys here it is.
Beautiful models all around. We had almost 40 entries this month, about twice as many as last month! It makes me happy to see so many people participate.

The next theme is Character model.
I'll pop in and give a reminder about the collage every so often. Just like last time I'll start the vote and collect entries the last seven days of the month, just keep a look out for the anchor posts.

>could have included the symbols for the WS, IH and Sallies
>didn't
>but included twice the necessary amount of generic imperial eagles instead
>and the raven guard symbol
I take it as confirmation that corax is coming in the foreseeable future
it's the only primarch that could help them move the tacticool phobos crap, and the ravens did get the cooler specialer higher ranking character revealed for them now

>>96233597
It is.
Cultists feels "expendable" instead of getting useless and marines feel durable and versatile, able to operate in combat or mid range.
Helbrute feels scary, archon feels like a melee glass cannon, etc

Really good for "your dudes'

>>96233640
damn, some nice ones this month
thanks for the work anon

>>96233591
Dark Eldar with no transports is a bold choice

>>96233640
Nice. It's great to see so many people posting models now.

>>96233640
Excellent work. This is great. Need an archive or something where we can store these. Did you paint any, collage bro?
Cant wait to see for august.

>>96233643
Which detachment?

>>96233386
That's a character? I thought only the Deathleaper was a character?

>>96233640
Lovely, this and the fridge are really making this place start to feel like a community. I hope you two don't run out of steam

>>96233659
>this place start to feel like a community.
too bad for the resident schizo

>>96233666
Every village has their idiot

>>96233640
There are way, way more Elves and GSC than I thought there would be.

Does having a good CP really just get people to buy up the army

>>96233640
what's your favourite unit on the collage, anons?
for me it's nlanon's unit, i love his distinct and almost painterly style

>>96233678
Yes, the availability of boxed deals is what drives the popularity of an army
that and good rules and the impression of support given by a wide range of models
fluff doesn't really matter, people choose factions before they get into the fluff and then work their way around liking it
even looks don't really matter, people will eat anything, even the worse downgrade or the most debatable designs in history
all armies that feature in a starter boxset see a massive increase in popularity for the duration of that edition

now ask yourself what would happen to the popularity of marines if they weren't in each and every starter boxset

>>96233640
>almost 40 entries
now that is nice

>>96233697
If that were true wouldn't Stormcast Eternals be the most popular fantasy army?

>>96233655
Nigger what in the fuck is a detachment.
One HQ and two troops is all you need

>>96233652
>did you paint any
Perhaps. Probably smart to remain as anonymous as I can though. You know how it is.
>>96233659
I'm happy to do it and it's really no trouble. I don't think I'll run out of steam any time soon.

>>96233702
You stealing images from discord doesn't actually make for 40 unique people being here.

>>96233773
this person owns no models

>>96233773
Why you gotta disrespect me just because I identify as a model poster? I'm still a model poster even if I'm pre-op and haven't gotten the work done yet.

>>96233773
I guess we could start doing timestamps if you're worried about that. Something to think about.

>>96233695
>what's your favourite unit on the collage, anons?
I like the two wrecka krews
makes me glad I didnt do my own desu, I definitely would have got the bronze medal

>schizoposting

How do the older tyranid kits like the carnifex and the warriors stack up compared to the newer ones in terms of quality?

New Votann next weekend? Or is it an AoS/side game weekend next?

>>96233640
hell ye broze

>>96233904
that’s anon is in deep. I can’t even follow the logic of his delusions anymore.

>>96233695
I think the 1ksons sorcerers. The pink aberrants and the metal incubi also are great

>>96233864
fuck the mini game, they added how to create a chapter rules. Post those please!!!

>>96232181 (OP)
Can GW stop fucking getting rid of their old kits when a primaris upgrade comes out? The old deathwatch kill team was a perfectly servicable kit with lots of options and customisability that I'm sure the new one won't have. And it's not even consistent too, you still have the older tac squad, devastation squad, etc. still available. I just don't want to be forced to buy fucking primaris all the goddamn time.

when the FUCK are they releasing raveners on their own

>>96233949
Tac Squad is an in institution and will be the last man standing in the firstborn range for some time yet.

>>96233949
they're not going to keep stocking an ugly old kit for a dozen autists to buy when there are popular alternatives available

>>96233934
>rules
Bro I think you're gonna be disappointed if you're expecting to find new rules in there.

>>96233964
All the kill teams get an individual release in 6 month gaps. So probably around Christmas.

>>96233966
And yet, several completely unplayed armies are still up on the storefront.

>>96233969
fuck them

>>96233949
No. You chose to be a marine player and that means you will have an endless stream of new shit that you don't need shoved down your throat.

>>96232781
Damn, I was convinced I would be doing my inner circle companions with the burgundy robes, but seeing yours with the usual light robes is heavily making me reconsider...

>>96233911
the carnifex is a kit from 20 years ago that has aged so gracefully I'd say it would be a shame if it gets replaced with something with even the slightest change in design and options
while the warriors are from 2001 but have been 'remastered' in 2014
in both cases the design cues of tyranids are more primitive compared to the kits released with 10th edition, the armor plates are a bit simpler, the textures are bit less present, the joints are bit less detailed, overall there might be less bits and bobs like spines and tiny talons, but still fit perfectly with all the other tyranids, so go for it, unless you really really really really want everything to be up to the same identical standard down to every minutia, then the tyranid range will unfortunately look very limited to you and/or you will have to rely on IO_BUTOV prints that offer bits and entire minis both very faithful to GW's new direction and ones going a step beyond that.

Theme song: https://youtu.be/ONr1UJ8B-1E?

>The Lucis Technica is a syncretic faith born from the fusion of a radical Promethean creed, early Imperial cultism, and Mechanicus tradition, developed during the Nova Terra Interregnum and refined through long association with Forge World Tejana.

Central Beliefs:
>The Emperor is the Starbinder, a divine being who gives structure to the universe through truth and light. He is not merely a god of humanity but the source of all cosmic order.
>The Warp is the Fourfold Lie, a unified entity of falsehood manifesting in many aspects. It is the root of Chaos—not as four gods, but as one deception with many masks. The essence of evil is not simply destruction, but falsehood dressed as salvation.
>Light is truth, and truth is harsh, cleansing, and inescapable. The stars—light in the void—are both literal and symbolic of the Emperor’s will: beacons of clarity in the darkness of unreality.
>Lies are anathema. Deception is the first and greatest sin. Even hopeful lies are considered corrosive. Honesty, even brutal, is a sacred duty.
>Cybernetics and machines are holy not because they are perfect, but because they retain memory and resist change. Machine spirits are venerated as vessels of continuity and truth, not as gods themselves.
>The Omnissiah is understood as an emanation of the Starbinder, a facet of his truth expressed through technology. The Mechanicus is not wrong, but incomplete.
>Ritual and code are central. The sacred text, the Horologium Lux, combines tactical doctrine, spiritual allegory, and esoteric truth. It shapes all action, from war to worship. The holy book has two versions: one for the human masses of the Lucium sector who also follow the faith, which has all of the tactical doctrines removed, and the full version held only by members of the chapter.

Apologies for formatting, I had to feed it through n abominable intelligence to make the summary fit.

>>96234001
Do you have to dust them before every game?

>>96233949
>And it's not even consistent too, you still have the older tac squad...
Tac Squad has no Primaris replacement
>...devastation squad
Devastators have not been replaced with Primaris yet. Assault Marines have been replaced by Assault Intercessors and got deleted.

>>96233380
>Dragons in 40k is a Kroot-morph form
Okay but if there was a classical evil dragon in 40k it would have to roost inside of, or in with room of a Votaan right? So the league of Votaan Kyn as space dwarfs would be trying to take back their mountain treasure, I mean ancestor god machine from the dragon. But what would a 40k dragons hoard be, just a Votaan? Surely gold coins and gems isn't motivation enough in a sci-fi universe that has access to worlds made of gold and diamonds.

>>96234303
>But what would a 40k dragons hoard be, just a Votaan?
It hoards material and immaterial wealth.
Gold, ore, gems will be stolen, but so will be your bank account security numbers.

If i kitbash this guy to have a gun or to look like a Daemon, can it count for the collage?

>Not Necrons getting shafted in their own home turf to shill Cawl and Vashtorr

>Not Tau suddenly getting their own Warp God which goes against theirbentire philosophy, because Humans outnumber Tau in the Tau Empire now

>>96234355
Octarius DIDN'T matter, anon. Nids won it off screen and it nothing actually happened or changed. There was no huge surge of newer stronger Nids. No rapjd exodus of Orks raiding everywhere around it. The Orks just packed up and left and now the Nids are squatting there.
And yes, the 4th Tyrannic war was a giant flub. Leontus went and the Tyranids basically stopped in their tracks because Named Imperial Character Lmao.

>>96234369
>>a robogodzilla isn't godzilla
It isn't. It's a Robogodzilla. Godzilla is not Rovogodzilla, Robogodzilla is not Godzilla.

>>96234369
>>dragons ought to be scaly and sexy
Just scaly. Why add the sexy part?
>>a robot dragon isnt a dragon
It's not a dragon, it's a robot chicken wyvern
>>a dragon with superficial insectile features isn't a dragon
It's not superficial insectile, it is heavily insectile, therefore a cockroach with wings
>>a robogodzilla isn't godzilla
Robogodzilla isn't godzilla. It's robogodzilla, retard.

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting
>>96234372
>>96234376
its literally called roboGODZILLA silly

Thinking about it a 40k version of the calssical evil dragon myth would be a deamon prince like creature. Because dragons can talk and reason and manipulate and have fundmental flaws leading to their death of greed and envy.
Being a 40k dragon I can see the hoard being the corpses and armour of all that tried to slay it and failed. A mountian of Adamantium corpses, whole chapters piled atop one another. Kyn bodies, flesh and iron. Both tomb and treasure hall

>>96234394

ya Long, unlike your dick

>>96234396
40k dragons should aliens that look like dragons. We don't need more chaos.
Just make 40k Old Ones into dragons, it'd be perfect. Also it'd make the War in Heaven even cooler:
>Immortal nearly god like race of dragons and their armies of elves and orks fighting against the immortal star vampires and their legions of undead soldiers.

it's been years since i recognized that DG really is my playstyle, but i still haven't made an army
i even like the numbers 3 and 7, yet i don't like stinky puss and maggots more

>>96234411
I don't give a shit about the etymology of it.

>>96234417
No, it's just Nids coming from outside the galaxy.
They even did the opposire by making Bio/Pyrovores no longer based on Ork genetics, and turned them into spiders.

>>96234396

>>96234420
You're right but there's no need for that.

"muh saurian" I don't care. Nids look like shit. And not dragon-y enough.
I want my DnD dragons but in 40k, cry about it.
>"Flying nids arent dragons because um uh um erm bug maymays"
Have you seen what a harridan or a harpy look like? They are just cockroaches with wings.

Why would I cry about my faction being the dragons while you seethe and pray for "DnD dragons but in 40k", which are never happening? You got it confused, my position is a far better one than yours

These guys technically? Slaanesh and Tzeench guy are stock but I did mix it up a bit on the other 3.

>>96234574
Yes this is fine.
There is a big difference between battle ready and parade ready, and also between the flaws you see staring at it and what people will see from a distance.
A lot of people don't even paint their models, or will proxy them with whatever is available in the store that day.
Are you going to base them though?

Old Ones made the world because that's the easy cope out by GW and Old Ones sound cool thanks to all the work by lovecraft and other cosmic horror writers to inspire peoples imgaination, like this thread seeing them as magical god-like dragons

>>96234590
They're gorgeous.

>>96234596
Yeah Im not going to ever get "parade ready" but thats fine. Looks good enough on a table. And yeah Im just getting through painting everyone before basing because I fucking hate basing.

how do you regain motivation to paint when you are addicted to other things? (for its runescape atm). i feel guilty for not painting

>>96234668
They don't follow dragon anatomy either, so not like it matters.

Local 3D printing service is charging 400 leaf dollars (289.82 USD according to googles) for essentially 3 complete Artemia Pattern hellhound stl kits.
They removed 3d printed supports quite well in my bulk bits orders.
The price includes shipping I assume.
I have no space to put a 3D printer.
I'm not as rich or neetbucks gifted as a furry.
So should I do it boyos?

>>96234677
wyvern anatomy is dragon anatomy unless you're a literal 20yo zoomer

My ass-crack is a hairy unshaven jungle. They'd probably pay me money to put my pants back on so maybe this is good advice as I might get to recoup some of the lost money.
But in all seriousness has anybody ever gotten Warhammer 40k models printed by a service and this pricing is normal?

I'd ask /3dpg/ but I'm in a bit of a hurry.

>>96234699
>Wyverns aren't dragons
They are, same word.

Working on my metamorphs, applied the basecoats and used umber wash for everything. Once it dries I'll go for black panel liner on the ribbed armor for extra contrast, it's just too good. I'll start applying the metallics afterwards, like the hand flamers, pistols, chains etc.
What are you working on currently /40kg?

My Patriarch, I was going to start my Ridgerunner after the metamorphs but Patriarch is just too good of a model.

No they also exist to get raided by dark eldar and their avatar of the world spirit, a virignal busty women priestess, to be kidnapped and be worse than raped to death for their amuesment and weird dark rituals to feed on her life energy bring the dead back to life or regenerate to be a youth again permentatly etc

>>96234754
But seriously. I need to know if this is going to be the STL commissioner's general experience. Like am I getting monetarily violated or is this part and parcel pricing?

Hey Tsons anon

I've just started my own 1ksons. I've decided to paint them in sub-assemblies after building the aspiring sorceror. I assume you do the same. I'm concerned about frosting of the super glue. How do you deal with that?

>>96234237

they don't sell any more raven guard dudes or imperial fist dudes than they sell white scars dudes or iron hand dudes, so the specific inclusion of raven guard unlike those must mean something, I guess

You got what I said lol. Wyvern and dragon mean the exact same thing and any disparity between them is caused by at best 20th century pop culture which you slopped up.

>>96234786
Who cares, there's at least one anon here who only posts to talk shit and stir drama and that's probably them. Frankly, /tg/ should -not- be the only hobby community you're part of.

It's the only community I'm part of, period.

>>96234866
it's not a dragon, it's a simpledragon, different word altogether, it's a third other kind of being, totally unrelated

>>96234838
I've only left the arms that hold their guns seperate to be honest with you. Should be easier to paint with how you went about it though. Anyway, you don't need a lot of super glue for it to bond, just apply a small amount in the middle of the contact point and it shouldn't be visible at all. Have fun with your dustbins anon, might take a while to paint them but I think it's worth it

>>96234880
>Wyvern and dragon mean the exact same thing

Wyverns aren't dragons and never will be.

That's what he wants you to think.
In reality when the Grey Knights arrive on Terra to put Big E back on the chair, Emps will just order the Custodes to kill all the Grey Knights but also to activate the neutronic warheads across Terra killing all the regular humans there, which allows Emperor to let himself go and die, and then uses the Grey Knigths souls and regular human souls and psychic power to reincarnate himself like the Shamans of old did, which lets him come back stronger than ever.

>>96234952

Dragons and dragons. Wyverns are wyverns. Wyverns will never be dragons.

>>96234990

They aren't, if they were they wouldn't be called wyverns.
Wyvern will never be a real dragon.
DnD is the only one that got that shit right. GW should add dragons like that into 40k.

Wyvern, only 4 limbs. 2 wings 2 lets.
>but GW named it
I don't give a shit what they named it, they are wrong.

Could I use them as Assault Terminators in 40k?

>>96235049
not him but thats obviously a wyvern because the front arms and wings arent seperate limbs. a dragon has wings, front legs AND back legs for a total of 6 appendages wyverns just have 4 where the front legs and wings are the same.

>>96235065
Yes, but you should wait and not buy these.
There's already updated Catapharactii terminators coming in HH, GW just haven't revealed them fully yet.

>>96234382
You do realize such classifications came way after the fact, when a bunch of nerds were classifying heraldic devices, then filtered again by fantasy nerds. Vast majority of those things are just different names for "big snake" and in the past you could have several different designs using the same name.

>>96235077

I ask myself the same questions, and I'm feeling like things are only getting worse and gonna get worse as I age into 27.
Painting Warhammer 40k minis has been a great help and so has going to the LGS too. My problem is that I've gotten to the point where ugly people, attractive people, and couples at the LGS remind me of how inadequate I am now.
Like holy shit I've lived long enough to see the ugly archetypal nerd (like me) become a minority in the nerd space. I'm happy for people enjoying themselves at the LGS but it makes me feel sad more often than not.

It's basically over for you old man.

>>96235065
Depends if you're fielding them with primaris or space marines. The kit comes with lightning claws for all, but for shields and hammers you need to do converting or buy resin upgrade kits.
>>96235077
There's no telling when a new kit will hit (we've had images of the plastic HH Baneblade and Shadowsword for ages, but no official announcement they're even in the pipeline. It's also impossible to know how the kits will be equipped. Very likely you need extra kits for weapon and no way of knowing how long it'll take for stuff like storm shields to be made for them (as they'd be limited to a few legions).

>>96235139
>Considering the Saturnine, they'll probably be a head taller than Indomitus.
Possible but doubtful.
Saturnine are special also the fluff they showed in one of the articles says that the marines who use saturnine armor need some surgical procedures to use them, but they also need some minor psychic ability to use them.

>>96235159
retards in this thread would call that a wyvern

I've genuinely got autism and I fear saying something stupid or sperging out at the LGS. It is like my greatest social fear. Which is why I don't go to the LGS out of fear of having a spergout.
I already fucked up once at LGS paint night as I got into the "cozy zone" and started mumbling incoherently to myself while painting and the whole table of other painters (we were working on donated 3D printed terrain for the LGS) just stared at me rambling while painting.

I don't recall ever being an asshole to everyone so I guess at the LGS they just know me as the weird but harmless guy and quite frankly I'm okay with that.
>And you need to forgive yourself for that kind of shit because people usually forget about it within the next two hours.
You're right. At the time I was mumbling about how as a kid I would play with Bionicle toys and now as an adult I was playing with plastic toys and how things have kind of stayed the same somewhat.
It could have been worse.
I could have been the Black Templar player who went on an SJW rant and his opponent just went "alright" and packed up his stuff.

>>96235120
Work on yourself. If you're disgusted by your own body, fix it. Eat better, start working out. Doesn't even have to be a lot. You can get decent results with some mild cardio and a set of dumbbells. If you have the money for it, buy a Switch and start playing Ring Fit. That was my entry into physical fitness and I still use it as a warm-up exercise before I lift in my basement.

>>96235258

>their opinions on europeans myths
this isn't about european myths, all european myths and legends describe dragons without wings and dragons that don't have 6 limbs
the distinction between dragons and wyverns has been made exclusively in the heraldry of the english only during a specific period of time, everyone else before, at the same time and after, called wyverns dragons because they weren't nations of monkeymen who would slap each other when encountering a ladder

hell, in some english heraldry the wyvern doesn't even have legs, while the dragons don't necessarily have wings

what about komodo dragons huh they dont have wings and they dont breathe fire what about them huh

>>96235303
They drool a lot (and so do I)

>>96235307
but you only drool when you see cocks they just drool in general

Warhammer Forty Thousand

>>96235322
what the hell is that

>>96235089
Thats the neat part

>>96235322
One more page and we can get a fresh arbites OP

>My problem is that I've gotten to the point where ugly people, attractive people, and couples at the LGS remind me of how inadequate I am now
>Like holy shit I've lived long enough to see the ugly archetypal nerd (like me) become a minority in the nerd space. I'm happy for people enjoying themselves at the LGS but it makes me feel sad more often than not.
Instead of being down on yourself take it as motivation to improve the things you don't like about yourself.
You know what to do if you want to look better, it isn't any more complicated than you think it is.
>I do need to lift dumbbells. I have noodle arms so I get ya.
You aren't lifting enough then.
>Consistent progressive overload (just means adding more pressure over time, either by more reps or more weight)
>Protein rich diet
>Adequate sleep
Those are the three things you need to grow muscle. It isn't more complicated than that.
You already know where you are and where you want to be, now it is just bridging that gap.

wtf does your image have to do with vorgh

>>96235137
THICC

Bake a new bread.

>>96235474
An entire new thread can fill up and this one will still be on page 7, chill

>>96235192
Sounds better.

>>96235476
>chill

>>96235386
its what the vorgh look like

>>96235492
no, the vorgh look like this

>>96235517
my titan-sized battlesister could take on that monstrosity

Here we go

>>96235528
Oh shit, white primer, what's the plan?

>>96235524
You guys run, I'll hold her off

>>96235528
>>96235536
I don't understand people using Black Primer.
It is much easier to darken something than to brighten it and darker paint tends to coat better.

>>96235551
I think white primer is just for bright colors/white, personally I either use grey or metallic primer.

>>96235551
It's so I can be lazy and skip painting parts of the model in hard to reach places

>>96235063
>my dragon phylogeny.
my dragon phylogeny >>> your dragon phylogeny
I bet you don't even make them branch out before anapsids

>>96235551
Black primer for metallics is great. Adds a lot of great depth and makes for more shine and better coverage.

>>96235564
Why not just paint in sub-assembly then? I guess not everyone cares about it that much to which is fair.
>>96235555
But even on neutral toned models you still want highlights to be bright, which a white primer would be the best canvas for (if the primer is still showing through, which it very well may be even subtly.)
Also checked
>>96235572
Could you get the same benefits from using a shade or darker contrast?

>>96235517
I want a ForgeWorld Imperial Armour Photo edit of those space marines fighting that giant fluffy monstrosity now.
Do we have any good graphics designers in here?

>>96234408
Finished these guys up for the collage last week.

>>96235536
The plan is for bone trim

>>96235618

>>96235577
You could use contrast, but you really do want a coat with full coverage so the surface has all the same sheen. Synthetic mica is semi transparent by nature, and is just suspended in clear paint medium, so it takes a lot to get full coverage over a basecoat that isn't totally solid

>>96235618
sheeeez that sucks

>>96235618
The chest looks like it's going to be the biggest challenge even with subassemblies

>>96235641
I ain't afraid of no ghost

>>96235640
Sorry you don't like it anon :(

Does the world eaters helbrute still have fight back?

>>96235555
>>96235551
I use white primer to paint my Black Templars

>>96235725

>>96235653
Nta but I assumed he meant it was going to suck to paint, it's hard to argue it doesn't look cool

Is it lore-aligned to have my Custom Successor Chapters first Chapter Master having been a Librarian or potent Psyker?

>>96235740
Depends on /yourdudes/ lore. It's up to you

>>96235748
I fully agree with the idea, I just like to make sure that I don't put in anything that contradicts canon.

>>96235740
Blood Ravens did it.

>>96235517
adeptus astrates and the adeptus purrstartes fight together the schizo demons.

>>96235583
best I can do

>>96234739
I've been sick these last few days so I wasn't able to finish on time. There will be more collages it's no biggie.

>>96235776
Get well soon purpleking

>>96235740
What the inquisitor doesn't know won't hurt them.

*sigh* I wish I were a space marine.

>>96235776
Damn that sucks, be sure to finish those termies and show them to the class later. I hope you're recovering well

>>96235766

damn what happened to the https://armylists.rmz.gs website? where do i go now to see examples of decent lists?

what are some good armies to collect that aren't annoying af to paint (ie. no trims everywhere, no 10000+ small details and trinkets, don't twist around in weird angles, etc)?
my least favorite aspect on painting is filling in the base colors on a blank model. the edge highlighting/details/free hand are my favorite part.

>>96235871
Imperial Knights

>>96235871
Necrons

>>96235871
thousand sons

>>96235861
There were a bunch of tournaments last week anon. Go look at those lists.

>>96235871
admech

>>96235885
but how do i do that the website i linked used to have all the lists from those tournaments on it

>>96235871
Have you tried Space Marines?

>>96235871
Daemons

>>96235894
space marines are more cluttered than anything but admech and GSC

>>96235871
unironically Drukhari
You can paint an entire army by just priming black and edge highlighting. Even if you suck at painting

>>96235871
tyranids
knights if you have an airbrush
necrons maybe?

>>96235889
Spiky Bits has some
https://spikeybits.com/top-40k-tournament-army-lists-from-silver-state-major-25/

Also the Nova Open is soon - theres gonna be a lot of talk about that one.

>>96235905
>Space Marines
>Cluttered

I'm with >>96235881 necrons are probably more your speed.

>>96235935
Tell me you've never painted a marine without telling me

>>96235915
yeah I never understood how people can say drukhari can be hard to paint. They're easier than space marines.

>>96235959
nta and I only painted a couple marines like 15 years ago but it really doesn't look that bad

>>96235975
plus they’re massive too which makes it easier to paint the “small” bits. space elves are way harder just by virtue of being spindly little bastards

>>96235991
eldar are one of the most detail-barren models in the entire range

>>96235871
Eldar are actually pretty simple

>>96235915
Hell, with how edgy in a literal sense their models are, you could probably paint an entire army just with drybrushing & a bit of cleanup.

>>96235965
Every army can be fairly easy with the right workflow and a simple enough scheme. It just depends what you want the final product to look like. You could paint tsons like custodes and just drybrush them one colour, pick out some details and give them a wash and they'd look reasonably good.
