It's an ancient (10k+ years old) spaceship graveyard. It has millions of ships, hulks, wrecks and planetoids in a debris ring around a stranged, haunted dark matter star. It has way more ships present than should be in Koronus, so it might be dragging them in from across the galaxy via the Warp or there is some sort of time displacement effect going on. It is inhabited by various kinds remnants of ship crews, most recent catches possibly still being sane while others being degenerated scavengers. There are also the Hollow Men, strange groups of humanoid creatures clad in makeshift but very heavy space suits wielding various tools like fusion cutters as weapons who try to board and disassemble visiting spaceships. No one knows what they look like inside their suits.
The place is haunted in some way, with visions, ghostly figures, whispers, false signals etc constantly tormenting those present. Floating wrecks might suddenly break their slow orbit as if they were flinged to intercept visiting ships. It is only accessible via an ancient Eldar webway portal but the Eldar claim they don't have much interest in the place despite the fact that they built a fuckhuge portal there once.

Take your time, build and paint what you've got now. Maybe get in a practice game or two in and see what you like about your army and what you want to reinforce when you do eventually expand it.

>>96262376
Because the only difference between a chaos spawn and a heavily "blessed" chaos space marine is how much their patron likes them versus how much willpower they have to not go completely insane while half tentacle. Turns out a lot of CSM are highly valued by the chaos gods because they are strong warlords and actually decent candidates to be a daemon prince.

>>96262454
the range is annemic and "discount" seems to be hardcapped at 30% so if you can get combat patrol you likely will have enough for the generic detachment play, unless you wan to get into the "spam one unit" ones

>>96262454
Their models are just space marines so just grab recasts for the discount. It's good experience learning to fix any minor defects they come with too.

>>96262466
The problem I have with having bought the box is that you already get so much of the baseline troops, the only benefit from the patrol I'd get would be flawless blades and another exultant, which I guess might be fine. I also hate spam lists and would rather lose with something more thematic.

>>96262400
Sounds better than Tranzyn dlc. But both ultimately sound like something fitting Rogue Trader, unlike Death Cult and Arbites which should have been in Dark Heresy

>>96262487
The Death Cult one is incredibly well executed. That said I think the procession of the damned is one of the coolest spooky things in 40k and I can't wait to dig into it in a few years.

>>96262487
It's not uncommon for companies to use DLC at a testing ground for new mechanics for their sequels. Likely these systems are being developed concurrently for use in both the DLC for Trader and the core game of Dark Heresy.
Does that mean that Dark Heresy DLC will all be Only War or Deathwatch flavored?

>>96262498
Both dlc are nice, but I still consider them a waste of a dlc slot. Main story already felt too much like Inquisition story and not Rogue Trader story. There is barely any colonizing, exploration and xenos. In fact you only colonize Foulstone. Most of the team are dogmatards with only two xeno companions being Eldar and Deldar. And then two first dlcs add two more dogmatards.
Imo two first dlcs should already add Xeno companions. And then next dlcs should be companionless and focused on more Rogue Trader content and fucking around the galaxy. Kibbles and Solobore should be in Dark Heresy instead.
>>96262507
I think Overseer is a thing because both Corsair and Kroot kill teams have units with pets and they, alongside Accursed Cultists and Night Lords, will be in DH. It's a class for Kroot companion backported to Rogue Trader.

The Deathcult dlc is excellent and it serves a purpose by opposing the genestealer cult on your ship. The companion is good too.

The arbites dlc is 10/10 for the feudal world quest alone, and I also enjoyed the tithe storage planet a lot. Weaker overall story tho.

Both dlc are well worth it.

>>96262563
I managed to go completely unspoiled for it and had no idea the GSC were on the ship which made that DLC an absolute blast. I feel bad for anyone spoiled by this reckless comment.

>>96262565
The dlc is out for over a year. If you don't support games like this at launch, what do I care?

A misconception I had about 40k before I got into it and only knew about it through cultural osmosis was that I thought one of the setting's central conceits was that it was ambiguous whether or not the emperor was alive or dead. I was very disappointed to learn that I was mistaken, and he's definitely alive and holding back some kind of dumb psychic doom to prevent the imperium's collapse (I admit I still don't know the specifics because as soon as I got into the fandom I learned that almost everything imperium is gay and so I've only really bothered to learn about the cool xeno factions). I still really think it would be better if it was left genuinely unclear as to whether the imperium was sacrificing a bunch of psykers every day based solely on a misguided tradition. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

>>96262605
I'll give you the QRD of the specifics.

The Emperor is a corpse kept half alive on an archeotech psychic device that the current Imperials cannot even begin to understand. The primary function of the golden throne is to power a psychic beacon known as the Astronomicon. This is essentially a galaxy wide lighthouse that Navigators can see when Imperial ships fly through space-hell and is the only reliable way humans can travel Faster-Than-Light. If the Astronomicon falls, humans lose the ability to navigate the warp. It ends all FTL travel, thereby killing the Empire overnight. This almost guarantees humanities fall, and only a few pocket empires or chaos marauders would survive the next few centuries. Orks, Tyranids, Deldar, and Chaos invasions would occur uncountered and quadrillions would be butchered and devoured. At least half of imperial outposts rely on regular resupply to sustain themselves, and would die simply due to starvation or lack of fuel. It's not a matter of a mcguffin that kills everyone, its simple logistics in the end.

Well armageddon crusade stage 1 is complete, there were thrills, and frills but at least this stage is done.
Scenario missions are pretty neat, but require prereading (so filters 90% of people) but still, its much funner than mission decks.
Im pretty suprised we've ended up with such a good faction spread

My main problem with arbites DLC is how short it is (7-8 hours) compared to Void Shadows. The Overseer pets for MC do have reactivity and their own shit ehich I guess tacks on an hour or so, but still much shorter than advertised. Which is a shame since I liked the encounters here more than void shadows

>>96262691
Exactly what I was thinking

>>96262705
True, it is a bit short, but still good content in my book. (Both dlc are a massive step up from their wrath of the righteous dlcs, which is the most important thing to me desu). It seems to me that owlcat knows what direction they should take.

>>96262724
Yeah that's true. I hope they add xeno companions in the next 2 DLCs in 2026.
Since that's RT's thing. It's funny that Dark Heresy has more xenos on cover and is rumored to have 1 more female Eldar companion, that a DH game might have more xenos on launch than Rogue Trader, even though DH had no official playable xenos.

>>96262729

Be interesting to see how he goes next stage.

>>96262923
Anon, "WAAC-fag" has been a derogatory term since before you were born.

>>96262911
must be for the new codeces. more expensive characters for black templars, cheaper grey knight termies, & wiped their errata clear

>>96262946
from my experience waac-fags painted their army, at least shittily

>>96262944
>>96262671
>>96262659
I am somewhat confused, is it the same Armageddon as in the planet or is that just name of the gamemode/campaign?

>>96262962
Only because tournaments usually have paint requirements to enter them. If you ever see a tournament without painting requirements, first of all, flee. Second, I promise you there will be lots of unpainted models. But the absolute worst of WAAC-fags paradoxically don't go to tournaments at all (because their bullshit isn't tolerated in organized events), and their armies are rarely painted.

>>96262971
The latest campaign book GW released was set on Armageddon.

I think we got 3 campaign books in 10th edition? Pariah Nexus, Nachmund Gauntlet and Armageddon.

>>96262977
just goes to show how tournament-lite regular 40k is these days

narrative is out the window

>>96262659
How did Tau get a foothold on Armageddon? (This was also a question for Shadow War: Armageddon)

>>96262999
They got a foothold by having a player who played Tau who wanted to play in the campaign.

>>96262993
Anon, there's another anon posting about a cool narrative campaign they're doing in this very thread. And again, this is in no a new phenomenon. The exact same applied in the early editions. In fact, the community has probably gotten a lot less tolerant of WAAC-fags and rules lawyers recently, because there's a big push among many tournament players for fairness, playing by intent, and being clear with your opponent instead of relying on gotchas and obscure rules interactions, something that was far more common back in the earlier editions.

>>96263006
Sounds implausible

What would look better, gsc vehicles painted blue with red stripes, or red with blue stripes? Blue as in something similar to caledor sky, and a red closer to mephiston

>>marine player claims he's playing imperial fists

isn't this _more_ narrative and interesting, since it's an OC

>>96262923
This irks me a bit, I see people turning up every week at my lgs with the same unpainted, or basecoated shit. Fair enough if they haven't had much time over say a fortnight or so but when you notice very little progress over several months it isn't a good look

>>96263026

It's impossible to keep a consistent narrative going. I think he's got some kind of OCD because he keeps selling his armies and can't keep two different collections at the dame time. Yes, he has restarted collecting the same army more than once.

Newfag here, mostly got into 40K via vidya and lore, thought about trying out some 40K in Tabletop Sim solo vs myself while reading up on rules to see if the hobby is for me and will I have fun actually playing the game before commiting to building armies.
Got the basics down. I think Warhammer factions are pretty cool overal, could you recommend me some not too complicated beginner armies (in terms of rules fine with high model counts) and a rough idea for their 1K lists? Wanna try out a bunch of stuff that way and see what appeals to me the most.

No idea desu, for the gsc I was thinking of maybe blue & red clothes, but for ones closer to purestrain im not entirely sure. Since I was planning on playing final day the scheme for the nids was going to be quite different (black chitin with red & yellow patterns like found on insects, then maybe a black skin with grey highlights). But that would be weird wouldn't it, i think gsc are supposed to wear colours that represent what hive fleet is supposed to turn up. I guess if I painted the nids with reds and blues it would just be behemoth wouldn't it.

>>96263033
That combo probably looks better imo

>>96263239
>not too complicated beginner armies
this is always a choice. you can bring more of the same unit so you have fewer rules to remember. you can pick the detachment with flat bonuses. etc

>>96263261
Didn't mean tutoring, I'll play and learn solo, just asked for people to recommend me some armies and 1K setups if it's not a prob

>>96263239
>could you recommend me some not too complicated beginner armies
space marines
but honestly dont overthink which faction has what rules, go which ever one you like the models of the most

>>96263239
I think you should see if the painting and modeling part of the hobby appeals to you. Wargaming is like 90% painting, 9% getting high on glue and 1% playing the actual game.

>>96263239
TTS is not at all representative of the actual tabletop experience. It's basically a completely different game. If you're interested in trying out 40k, I suggest instead to head down to your local club or gaming store and ask there if someone wants to lend you some models and run a demo game.

How many do we have now? There's gotta be more blue ork anons than red.

>>96263203
I mean real life special shoot through and go through walls all the time because they're that thin and its an unexpected angle of attack. CSM have loads of explosives designed for getting through thick metal armour. So a thin wall being a breach is pretty standard, hell power weapons should go through a non armour wall easily. The only risk is creating a vaccum but space marines can withstand that and even survive that without armour. If I'm remembering right about that weird organ they have that bascially encases them in snot/ some sort of goo/ their flesh excretes like that type of fish that sleeps in its own snot bubble every night.

>>96263408
If they're not blueskin orks they're not real blue orks

>>96263641
More Importantly where are her milkers?

On a meta level obviously it's just a khorne thing since fantasy uses it too, but in-universe are the khorne helmet "wing"/decorative panels specifically a world eaters feature or is it a more broad khorne symbol that random khornate warbands would also use?

>>96263637
>100% some ceremonial shit, and Necron nobility fucking loves that shit and all their procedures.
See I like that idea, but that just does look like a scale to me. And I don't think any current BL wirters are classical history buffs and so wouldn't necronify any real ancient Egyptian or other ancient culture, ceremonial and cultural things that seem strange and alien to us. Like the Pharaohs very unique headwear being two crowns combined into one, though they do have their chin/beard strap.
Like what does a necron death mask look like? The leaders were vain enough to have their own flesh get death masks before going into the biofurnaces

>>96263648

I would be very surprised if it's not always just literally khorne's symbol I've never heard of it being only for world eaters

>>96262331 (OP)
Ok guys, according to the Psychic Awakening Codex, each Black Templar Crusade is made up of "thousands" of Space Marines, and as we know, the Black Templars have several Crusades at the same time (normal Crusades and minor Crusades).
That means there are theoretically between 20,000 and 30,000 Black Templars, 4 or 5 times more than we thought.

>>96263690
Numbers are entirely meaningless either way in this setting so what's your point

>>96263690
Do Black Templars have a higher superiority complex than all the other chapters?

>>96263668
The term is bunny ears and yeah any marine thats khornate can have them. The black legion khornate marines have them. The Liber chaotica has like 10+ different versions of khornes symbol if you're sick of seeing >>96263689 this symbol everyhwere if you need insporation

>>96263705

>>96263668
it's a world eaters thing called the caedere remissum
comes from angron's home planet, bladed crests on a helmet that would be forced on gladiators that were too mentally gone to do anything but deathmatches

These guys left a bunch of guardsmen and an inquistor to die to nids when they could have easily have saved them, on the jurrasic park knock off secret planet lab remember

>>96263278
I think clothes can be anything but if you're going to tie your Hybrids and Genestealers with a certain hive fleet, the carapace and tyraniddy bits should reflect that for being consistent as the Patriarch comes from that hive fleet and its offspring should be of that hive fleet. I painted my purestrains in dark purple with magenta and pink highlights, so every other hybrids gets to have the same color on their carapace parts. Clothes are green for the track suits and purple for the clothes and banners.

I watched a tournament game for the first time (Drukhari vs CSM)and it was both interesting and didn't take too long.

It was actually kind of good.

>>96263796
Who won?

>>96263690
We are almost close to reaching 40,000 and fulfill the prophecy of the Emperor's 40,000 warhammers.
The Grey Knights won't know who hit them.

>>96263792
Well of course a woman had to be in charge

>>96263797
NTA but Skari probably. That man is fucking ridiculously good at the game.

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>96263792
I can't find it with a quick ebook search, you're probably misremembering

>>96263797
The Deldar player pulled back a giant deficit in units and managed to win a close victory

>>96263690
The black templars like SoBs are a physical manifestation of everything wrong in 40k and how far gone the Imperium is from the Emperors dream. That they have way more resources, material support, political backing and just more of them than other more reasonable chapters is pretty grimdark and thus fitting.

>>96263785
That is an impossible question because rogue traders are very varied.
Not all traders have warrants of trade signed by big E, some are given by the high lords, segmentum governor or even sector governors, mind you, those two last ones are way more limited in scope and privileges

>>96263785
There's no way to know, like how many inquistors there are, how many guardsmen, how many people. Nobody in or out of setting knows, there's no answer. As many as the plot needs and always way more that you never see or hear of

Pics from a narrative game played last night. I was nids and tsons against imperial guard w/ a deathwatch KT as backup. Goal was to break through the wall and hold the inside by the end of the last turn. Just barely won but there was a lot of leeway on both sides for the sake of fun.

>>96263903

TQ: Ocean Man for my nids, Catch the Rainbow for Tsons

>>96263903
>>96263909
Cool beans, looks like tons of fun was had.

Why don't you have more flyers? Are you some kind of faggot that just walks everywhere?

>>96263903
The nids look awesome. Got any more pics of them?

>>96263965
II like them to, I like that he has a bunch of them on different base colors.

>>96263959
40k's scale doesn't work for flyers. if you don't want to walk play a game that isn't about hiding behind ruins and peeking around corners.

Ty you guys, I'll share a few I have saved. This is the second time building up a tyranid army after I had to sell my first, and I always wanted to make a beach invasion tyranid army, so they're all at different points of coming out of an ocean bay.

Do dark angels first company ever go back to other companies to do the training bit? I want to slap a crux terminatus stl bit I have on the shoulder-pad of one of my tactical squad sergeants.

Yo anon, I'd say if you're in it only for the gameplay you can stick with TTS full time, it has a very active Warhammer community. Since this hobby is honestly 90% painting and assembling minis. Games are small part of the hoby time. I'd say if you are interested in that then collect minis irl, but if it's just gameplay might as well just go with TTS. Not shooing you away, just giving you a heads up that most of your time in the hobby won't be playing games, even if you have an absurdly active local 40K scene.
But to answer your question generally for lists, just get some basic infantry, a few veichles or monsters, some characters to command units and elite infantry, healthy mix that can't go wrong with in most cases. Orks are pretty straight forward and marines are generally well balanced jacks of all trades.

Posting my BT bladesguard and sternguards WIP. Just did the tabards and rifles. I'm starting to like painting marines with rifles.
Post minis, done and WIPs.

There's literally two groups constantly at odds, one is tryhard shitters led by a powermad dictator and the other one is a chill place. Guess which one is bleeding players.

>>96264014

Into the trash it goes

>>96264047
I checked his name earlier on lexicanum and it looked like he's been writing for 40k before. Though i've personally never read any of these so i cannot say if he's good or bad

Daemons are my favorite faction and by far the one I’ve played and painted the most, but while I enjoy seeing them show up in media I personally enjoy watching them get their asses kicked by Imperium or Xenos factions. Anyone else have this discrepancy with their favored faction versus what they actually like to see in the setting?

>>96264124
To be fair they told you that during the reveals. That being said I don't see any world where you're not building the tank variant over the transport.

>>96264148
I didn’t watch the stream unfortunately. Yeah I’m probably building the tank and just saying it’s the transport if I ever have a use for it

>>96264158
I'm doing the same thing honestly. Advantage of being a xenos player - no one knows or cares what our gun variants are or do.

>>96264145
Part of enjoying the bad guys is also understanding they need to lose at least as much as they win.
I love orks.
I love it when they win and krump beakies, tin heads, spikey boyz, squibblies, other boyz while laughing.
I love it when they get krumped, fall back, and giv' it anuvva go later, still laughing.

>>96263668
I really like this sculpt specifically

>>96264148
>to be fair they can do whatever they want
Not sur that's very fair to them

>>96264101
exactly. 3k points upwards they might have a place but at 2k below not as models. If we had a JTAC for flyers and a Forward observer for artillery in 2k games and bellow it would be much more fitting and immersive.

>>96264101
>>96264111

Personally I think it's too limiting with grouping "flyers" as all one category. If we reasonably divide rules for bombers, fighters, and hovercraft/gunships like the stormtalon, I think rules could be revised to make many of them more enjoyable in the game. Still think fighter jets have no place in the game, it just doesn't feel right or make sense.

>>96263608
We really need more necron novels, most BL content is space marine sloppa

>>96264272
>If we reasonably divide rules for bombers, fighters, and hovercraft/gunships like the stormtalon,
No need. Even gunships looks retardedly deformed in order to fit into the standart 40k table (same for tanks and walkers, since GW wants you to bring more than 1 big model)

>>96264282
Necrons are too boring even after being absolutely butchered by GW in an effort to make them not boring

>>96264235
It wouldn't have helped much TSons are just time consuming to paint

Votann should've been actual xenos

>>96264021
>that color scheme
thanks doc

>>96264345
Naw, bringing back space dorfs is objectively good.

>>96264345
We don't need more xenos.

>>96264235
I painted mine without any subassemblies and it wasn't terrible tbdesu. Btw I'd recommend you use some kind of grey to basecoat the tabbards first, your white looks kinda messy there

>>96264361
wish they still had one detachment for grudges over going full corpo
or had more varied melee models, jacks help a bit but some new cthonian melee would also be nice

>>96264375
The white is the basecoat lol, they're gonna be purple

>>96264345

Awesome.

>>96264345
Idk, I think LoV looks good, but I wish they'd lean more into the runic/ornate, makes them more dwarf-ish

>>96264455
Would look too ancient

>>96262376
Because Gods have use for servants that can easily operate in the real space

>>96264467
I like that, futuristic and ancient at the same time, space fantasy dwarves.

>>96264455
The runic shit is the worst part by far we already have space wolves for homos

>>96262376
Because everyone just wants varying sizes of marines for everything and that's a fact

>>96263408
Currently suffering with marines. Did a bit of a sprint on 40k ones, will probably do 30k ones, but after that take a break.

>>96264498
Would lean too ancient. The wizard is already cutting it close.

>>96264500
Space wolves still have runes?

>>96264541
I like the grimnyr

if it has some kind of achilles ridgerunner style supporting fire rules then it could be decent

>>96264345
Nah I much prefer the dwarven corporate mining guild aesthetic especially now they’ve got more of it

Grey Knights, Adeptus Custodes, Sisters of Battle or Black Templars for a newguy?

>>96264589
black templars and custodes are the easiest to paint and collect of those options
grey knights aren't hard to paint but they're very dated models at this point and you may have a situation in the next year or so where they get a refresh
sisters of battle are tricky to paint for beginners, they're detail heavy and with current points values you need a LOT of them

>>96264325
>necrons are too boring
and space marines aren’t?

>>96264614
don't reply to your own zero effort bait

>>96264614
>and space marines aren’t?
Nope

>>96264589
Custards are probably the most n00b friendly. They use relatively few models, their models are relatively easy to assemble, and their "default" color scheme is essentially just a base coat of gold and a wash of oil. And you also get to make banana guard voices when moving them around.

>>96264624
Is this supposed to be evidence?

>>96264589
sisters of battle models are unfortunately awful to put together.

buy a box of crusaders, they are some of the best posed marines available and you get loads of variety and spare parts.

>>96264589
space marines (black templars)

>>96264589
Custards, easy to paint and easy to move if you decide you don't like the hobby

>>96264645
Yep. Setting is about marines, not about necrons. If you don't like marines you don't like 40k and so you will not be missed.

>>96264668
Your argument was that they aren’t boring, not that GW jerks off space marines

>>96264668
Nta but I like marines but they don't like me; been absolutely struggling with playing them recently; just too fragile and don't do enough damage. I'm going back to my Orks for a while because they're way more fun to play and paint.

You mean the one that comes with Dark Heresy collector edition preorder.

Whoops no image

if I wanted to do a white scar themed army, what should I focus on? Obviously, Kor'sarro is right at the top of the list. I also have intercessors, assault intercessors, outriders, and I have two unbuilt gladiators because I'm thinking about magnetizing them because foot slogging seems like a terrible idea.

>>96264859
why so defensive, it's the natural state of the internet, people love to argue about shit they know nothing about.

I'd add a cape to him as well.

>>96264929
Seethe more /v/ermin

>>96264844
I know it's anecdotal, but in my experience the armies people who don't actually own models most often claim to play are guard (notoriously expensive) and admech (horrifyingly expensive). Why they gravitate towards this, I have no fucking clue, because it would be 1000% more believable if they just said "I play space marines". It's the 40k version of "my girlfriend lives in Canada".

Should I always split my tactical squads? I run two and like to keep a lascannon or rocket launcher safer and then have a sgt and 4 marines (one with plasma or melta) act as screeners but I feel like kweping them together may be a smarter idea since they're so weak and killable this edition.

>>96264983
if you find yourself in a situation where you don't want to split your tactical squads, then you're better off taking another marine unit instead, just proxy them as hellblasters or something.

>>96265002
>>96264983
>the state of tac squads
The only thing I can graduate for them is a lascannon that can do enough damage and a plasma gunner, plasma pistol and power fist. Shove 5 normal bolter dudes to sit on home objective while the 5man sits in cover ready to attack something.

>>96264909
Did you take this pic in a sauna on a gameboy camera

>>96264983
the only reason to run tactical squads is because you can't fit intercessors in your list for some reason, which should never be the case because even 5 ints + the mario kart is a better use of points than using tac marines

>>96264898
thanks. I forgot to buy the cape, but maybe I can greenstuff it

Thanks! So it's Black Templars vs. Adeptus Custodes. Kinda shame that part of the Custodes line is resin. Maybe Black Templars are the way to go after all. Interesting that no one said Grey Knights. I'll probably go with Black Templars. Shame there is no Battleforce for them.

>>96265081
look up "super glue masking tape and toilet paper crafting"

people make capes all the way to waves and ocean graphics

>>96265106
their new combat patrol is purely unique BT units

>>96265106
You shouldn't have a ton of trouble moving black templars if you decide you don't like the hobby as well, and if you do, they're a much cooler army imo. Good luck and welcome

Has the Votann codex leaked allready?
Rock and stone brothers!

>>96265041
I hate that you're right. Those fuckers are so efficient, it just fucking sucks going into Primaris shit all the time and feeling like you're at a huge disadvantage. Was shooting some plasma cannon devs into a five man squad of hellblasters and just completely whiffing the whole time while getting mauled; I forgot they shoot on death too. Fucking must be nice; a 90 point squad completely outclassed my 200 point squad.

>>96265002
I do like hellblasters and will probably pick up a second unit soon to replace one of the tactical squads. Such insanely good units.

>>96265020
Basically what I'm doing now but I like to separate the lascannon so it's a weapon emplacement with a group of meat shields.

>>96265041
I resent that I can't put intercessors in a rhino desu so I refuse to pick up the new transport.

>>96265038
I think something happened to the phone camera last I dropped my phone.

>>96265144
Un smudge the lens doofus.

>>96265144
You are sheltering models with mold lines and nubs are you not?

>>96265139
I get where, you're coming from: however, have you considered adding treads to your primaris tanks? I know a few people that have and it looks good. But also, the way intercessors work you don't want them in a transport anyways, 5 dudes put out 40 bolter shots into a unit and have sticky, they're great for just holding your backfield and you usually don't want to run them up to your natural expansion until turn 3 or so anyways

>>96265106
the new GK combat patrol is super cucked. but now you can at least use saturnine dreads w/o shoulder pads as much cooler NDKs

>>96265179
that's meant to say 5 dudes = 20 bolter shots but I had 10 on my brain for some reason

>>96265175
i dont bother with mould lines except on display pieces. jump intercessor #12 could have an outline of flash for all i care
i cant even imagine caring for a horde-style army

>>96265192
a lot of the times the mold lines get hidden under primer anyways, at most I just run a knife over them and give them a good coat of mr cement and it melts the lines to an acceptable level

>>96265206
>>96265192

>>96265110
>>96265116
Would it be a good idea to get the old and new Combat Patrol? Or just the new one?

no, they already had their round of releases, they won't get anything for a while.

>>96265227
>Would it be a good idea to get the old and new Combat Patrol? Or just the new one?
both are decent, if you get one of each you'll have two crusader squads which isn't a bad thing

Why do people say 1K point battles are shit?

*blocks your path*

>>96265251
they're upset that they wasted twice as much money as they needed to
1k games are objectively better

>>96265227
Just get a joytoy GK instead.

>>96265251
Can be very unbalanced. Imagine fighting 2 Knights at 1000 pts when you only have infantry.

>>96265251
The game is never fun but paypiggies like seeing their big pile on the table

>>96265227
>Think they'll get a refresh anytime soon? Those Dreadknights do look a bit weird.
nope, they just made the upgrade sprue. they're sticking to the baby carrier. also no upsized models - not even primarisized, just truescaled - makes me worried for 11th/12th ed desu

>>96265251
can't use all the expensive named characters so what's the point?

>>96265122
not yet

>>96265293
That's the point.

>>96265251
Less tools to deal with stuff, makes certain shit hard to punish such as spamming cheap infantry, big elites etc. if you didn't bring the correct thing to deal with it. At 2K armies tend to have more equipment variety covering various fields.
Also some army abilities like SoB and Eldar fate dice feel much stronger there, where induvidual rolls can matter more

>>96265251
Some moments of just absolutely awful games like someone spamming Imperial Knights or Greater Daemons and the other guy just not having enough units to deal with that. I think anything above 1k up to 2k is fine. 1k is just where I've found a few too many people trying to cheese a 1k list to win personally

>>96265251
the game is balanced around 2k.

>>96265270
i strongly dislike the beeg knight 3d print upgrade

>>96265255
Next demon primarch 100%

>>96265239
There's acceptable levels of stuff, because even to a human eye they won't see it, and then there's decalsloppa not even bothering to cover up seams and trim lines.
If I was painting more often where my stuff is under the lens of a camera I'd put in the extra effort because cameras have a tendency to enhance flaws.

Stupid question because I've no Reddit account, but how fast would an FTL engine to be to allow relatively good interconnection in the Orion Arm? A hundred light years per day without sleeper ships? A thousand?

>>96265311
>the game is balanced around 2k.
unfortunately. game has devolved into super lethal peekaboo because it's non-negotiable to get 50+ large models on each side interacting on a too-small board.

Fuck off decalfag

>>96265366
Why are you attributing that comment to me?

>>96265366
Trying too hard

>>96265358
the game is either lethal and feels like a wargame because no one wants to spend 8 hours playing one game
or it's not lethal and the army sizes are anemic and more like combat patrol in order to finish games in a reasonable timeframe

>>96265320
He's one of the least relevant ones

When do painting contests start deducting points for not playing the game?

>>96265382
It's about vibe and popularity

Anyone know a recast that has primaris crusader squad in stock.
Dark Miniatures has it but I don't want to wait 90 days

>>96265397
he's not popular either

>>96265403
almost any recaster is going to be 90+ days till you get them

>>96265426

>>96265397
He's as popular as IW which are only popular among the most obnoxious secondaries that just talk about using mkiii or mkii marines for theoretical conversions and then never actually do it

>>96265320

>>96265397

Because they literally don't playtest it at all. 2kpts battles are the only thing they actively test when developing rules. 1k is super unbalanced. That said 1k is very fun, because it's short and snappy. Just don't get to wound up about winning because someone might shoe up with something you can't afford to answer within the pts limit

Is this saying that the Chaos Gods were involved in the War in Heaven?
And if Slaanesh existed before the Fall, then how come Aeldari souls were safe in the Warp?

>Want to paint Deathwing Terminators

It's a lie. Rumi is straight as an arrow.

>>96265527

It wasn't yet sentient. It's like modern LLMs, they get more and more sentient looking until they are so sentient looking they are for all intents and purposes sentient, but all throughout they are the same entity fundamentally.

>>96265539
>It wasn't yet sentient.
It was sentient, Warp doesn't have linear time at all.
Once a god is sentient, they have always been sentient and active within the Warp.

>>96265527
Because time is weird in the warp. Its like a reader and the book.
You read a book for the first time, you discover the story and characters as you go along. But you can always return and reread the book with the knowledge of the later characters. The warp is the reader, the galaxy the book. Slaanesh was "read" at the fall of the eldar, but the warp can always flip the pages back to the first pages, and Slaanesh would be known to the reader, and the reader can always write something on any page of the book.
The book is linear, the reader is not.

>>96265524
That's not how the "would" meme works you idjit

>>96265539
Slaanesh has never eaten Eldar souls. They persist in the warp indefinitely. She just tortures them while they are there. Eldar have already been reincarnating after the fall, they just lose all their memories now. Eldar that have been dead for centuries can still be called back from beyond the grave and put back into new bodies.

Didn't know that normal Primarchs were manlets compared to Daemon Primarchs. How did the Lion beat Angron?

Primarchslop is the worst part of 40k

>>96265549
This is Chaos propaganda and not how the books are written because that would fuck up the lore.
It would mean that no new gods can be made because if they were to exist in the future they would exist now. Tauva didn't exist pre-current era and now it's slowly coalescing, same with Ynnead

>>96265592
Agreed

>>96265593
>Tauva didn't exist pre-current era and now it's slowly coalescing, same with Ynnead
Phil Kelly describes T'au'Va as functioning identically to Slaanesh.
T'au'va technically hasn't been born yet, but she is active in the Warp, and according to Philly, she is quite powerful.

>>96265602
Lots of times off-screen where no one will ever see it or hear about it.

Daemon Prince*

>>96265605
>Is becoming a Daemon Primarch of Chaos undivided basically winning?
No such thing exists. The 9th ED Daemon codex says Be'lakor is the only Undivided Daemon Prince.

>>96265602
re-read Fulgrim

>>96265605
When you become a Daemon Prince, your soul is effectively shredded and an ideological copy of you is created by the Chaos God you surrendered your soul to. So it's more like getting supplanted by a super evil clone of you than actually becoming a demon. Only Primarchs get to escape from this because they are actually already Princes of the emperor made from stolen warp stuff even if they don't realize it and are just swapping loyalties to a different God.

>>96265582
he had the macguffin emperor shield
in the book it literally says a single hit would've killed him without it

>>96265593

Nope, it has always existed within the Warp.
It's the thing that saved Shadowsun in her youth.

goddamn was that satisfying

>>96265651
It is true.
It's what happens to Urkrathos during the 13th Black Crusade while invading Cadia.

>-Urkrathos organs ruptured and filled the emptiness of his chest with gore and blood that seemingly flowed from an infinite dimension. As his body transformed, two voices sounded from within Urkrathos. One, a daemonic voice exalting in his ascension and embracing Khorne as his master. The second voice was Urkrathos' human voice, screaming in horror and begging it to stop.

>-Inside Urkrathos, his new daemon soul ripped itself from his human soul. Urkrathos' human soul was discarded like a placenta. It served its purpose in feeding and aiding the birth of the Daemon soul, and now it can die unmourned and forgotten.

>-Urkrathos would not miss his body. It was merely a vessel. What made Urkrathos recoil in his mind was the awful truth that his free will was forever extinguished. -Urkrathos howled in exaltation and horror at what he had become. But most of all, he howlled for the endless thirst of blood that was now consuming him.

>>96265648
regrettable
>>96265626
This is more or less my interpretation too, you need to become one with a god's concept to become a full on demon, which necessarily surrenders your individuality.

>>96265682
Metallics look great with dark wash. It's my go to for bare metal.

Tourist here, just wanted to ask you guys, what would be the easiest and hardest armiest to play in 10th ed? In terms of mechanics/playstyle/skill ceiling and being tough to learn/master.

>>96265592
I'd argue the worst part of 40k is the overwhelming amount of people with strong opinions about the lore who don't participate with the hobby in any way besides complaining. Everything else is easily ignorable

>>96265738
Death guard is probably the absolute easiest though necrons or Space Marines are very close behind. Admecht, dark Eldar, and genesteeler cults are far and away the hardest armies to learn though.

>>96265738
Probably gsc. They have a lot of movement tech that you need to keep in mind and revolve around characters you have to keep alive

>>96265738
>easiest
probably custodes or death guard
>hardest
deldar, admech, GSC

>>96265738
see >>96263283
complexity is determined during listbuilding.
that's why space marines have so many single-weapon units - easier to track, easier to quick roll, etc.

real answer: the hardest is admech because of the hobbying aspect and trying to move your units without breaking them

>>96265757
>Death guard is probably the absolute easiest
why? in kill team i'd proabably agree w/ you but i don't know them in bighammer

>>96265738
>easiest
Custodes, knights.
>hardest
Genestealer cults.

>>96265738
hardest are admech, knights, votan, tau and deathwatch

>>96265723
pretty good

>3 metallics for a metal marine army, primary(no basecoat for metallics) shade and highlight - airbrushed

I'm going to do a super easy marine army. No idea what the symbols for them will be yet.
>Metallics suck with clearcoats over them.
One less step I guess. They're tabletop play tier.

>>96265605
No. Chaos corrupts individuals on a spiritual level. Daemon princes are literally Daemons that have completely hijacked and subverted the physical body of the person they inhabit.
Fulgrim isn't Fulgrim anymore, he's a demon that looks like Fulgrim. Real Fulgrim is trapped in his own body being tortured for eternity.

>>96265808
This isn't consistent with the first person perspective of daemon princes. They have clearly shown the internal thoughts of Daemon Princes that show they are who they were, but stripped of free will and having constant existential dread that they suppress. Fulgrim is a special case.

>>96265825
I guess it depends on how they fell.
Belakor revels in being a huge dickhead, whereas other demon princes are miserable.

>>96265825
>special case
Everyone just accept they have no baseline rules for these things and the constant of "players get to decide what things are for their own dudes" is the theme.

People exerting their opinion over people because "a book said this one thing about this one guy" to over write peoples creativity is power pushing people. Because pushing feels good. It's insulting when someone has lore that doesn't make sense to you. Right?

>ranged heavy black templar army list
Why?

>>96265841
If you just say "this is my headcannon" or "this is my dudes" I respect that 100%, because many things in 40k are contradictory. But people aren't bad people for trying to discuss whats canon or most accurate to say about the setting and its a pass time that is more than a century old for pop culture sci fi and fantasy at this point. You are a nerd on the nerd forum, you will have to abide by nerd cultural norms and it has nothing to do with trying to "alpha nerd" you or display dominance or whatever schizo projection you spouting off here. You replied with a definitive statement, if I someone asks "how tall are Eldar?" and you reply "under 5 foot" I'm going to correct you even if it hurts your feefees.

>>96265825
>>96265841
Chaos' whole point is that it is not a good deal at all and generally becoming corrupted by Chaos or even becoming a daemon prince is a fate worse than death.
40k is grimdark, and Chaos especially is the most grimdark part about it.

What makes you think that joining up with the actual monstrous demonic gods who genuinely do not give a shit about anything besides their eternal bickering between one another (the Great Game), and who practically and abhor all life and only want to corrupt and destroy everything was going to be a fun ride for you?
Like what made you think you were going to have it good and dandy when you sold your soul to these monsters?

>>96265854
Guns are cool.

>>96265880
swords and axes are cooler

>>96265882
Majority of fighting templars in art is with a boltgun.

>>96265885
doesn't matter
melee is always cooler than faggy ranged weaponry

>>96265882
If they were they wouldn't have become largely supplanted and made obsolete by modern warfare.

We need proper dragons in 40k.

>>96265890
>erm modern warfare
faggot
the only reason 40k got popular was because it stole the dune gimmick of medieval melee combat in a sci-fi setting

>>96265890
and then, in the year 30 thousand, advances in technology made melee largely more relevant and all ranged armies were made obsolete by even more modern warfare

You have to clear coat after using Tamiya panel liner it is not an option. Without it your panel liner will rub off.

The thread has had a nice quality to it, lets not ruin it now.

Post some models or frankly anything hobby related.

>>96265926
Thats a problem for sure. But this is enamel based and requires enamel thinner to remove.

It's not oil based. Least I believe it's not. Which is why I got it.

>>96265907
Pallid wych is like a barely warm off white about as bright as wraithbone, I don't think it'd make for a great highlight over purple I think it might be too stark

I find it very funny that a setting in which one side of a battle might have people with handheld back hole guns and 'guns' that either or both: strips your actual soul from your body, or reduce it to atoms and then reduce those atoms to scattered rapid radia decay, and facing them is a bunch of a guys whose most advanced weapon is a board with a nail in it. And who wins this battle is fair bets/

>>96265898
Agreed but they should be titan sized

>>96265978
yeah I wanted to make it a sort of pale purple like bordering on white almost
do you think there's a better color that fits?

>>96265974
It's an enamel. But you need an enamel thinner. I don't know why you bought super glue because super glue isn't enamel thinner.

>>96266002
I think you should discard the naggaroth night, which is almost black it's so dark. If you want the skin to be pale I might try starting with your pale midtone, hitting it with magos, and then layering back up with your pale midtone. Then you can do your highlight step.

>>96265936
>>96265951
>subhumans projecting
yawn

>>96266022
Well, thats why I got plenty of test ghouls to try weird combinations on. Ill do one with a nagaroth base and one with a genestealer base.

It's enamel based but takes weeks to cure fully, you could wipe panel lines off an unvarnished gunpla panel with your finger and no pressure

The WD lore article about daemon Fulgrim says Slaanesh edited his mind so that he doesn't care about his legion.

Tzeentch also altered Magnus' mind

>>96265837
Be'lakor's dataslate says he is coping:
>Like a petulant first-born son, Be’lakor has always had a bitter jealousy toward anything or anyone that wins the favour of the Dark Gods. For millennia, the Daemon Prince undermined the plots and schemes of the daemonic and mortal servants of Chaos. However, what Be’lakor mistook for free will, and a measure of revenge against those that have usurped his power, was merely the Great Game between the Chaos Gods. When the Daemon brought down a champion of Nurgle, invariably he was doing Tzeentch’s bidding, and while laying a warrior of the Blood God low he was the fulfilling the will of Slannesh. Be’lakor remains blind to these manipulations of the gods. His own thirst for power and the pleasure of proving his mastery over rival champions of Chaos seems enough to make him forget the sorcerous tethers the gods continually try and wind tightly around his neck.

Yvraine might be the most unpleasant model I've ever tried to paint.

You wont get one as that's that anons headcanon. Which is wrong according to every bit of lore we have on Daemon Princes. Chief example is the Word Bearer book.

If you want you could hide in a little cave and pretend to be a caveman but that doesn't make you a caveman because we have evolved past that point. The lore has evolved and no longer is what it was 15-20 years ago. You can pretend it doesn't exist, but that's about all you can do

>>96266159
Fluffwise your swordwind/warhost is a trailored force for what they face or what the craftworld got at hand. Wraith hosts and Guardian hosts are the Volkssturm of the craftworlds. so if you see them it's gone wrong somewhere along the timeline of your craftworld presumably.

Crunchwise yeah, you lean heavy on fire dragons. MOSTLY because tournyfags managed to min max the index to such a degree that GW overcorrected and we are now stuck with our aspect warriors. The other reason is the fact that fire dragons mulch the current meta of Deathguard tournies and Knights, so eldar look better on the spreadsheet then they are.

>>96266224
you realize 40k is a work of fiction right? the dawn of fire novels are of dubious historicity. I'm not sure they really happened... I think some dudes in the 2020s wrote them.

Reminder that the Night Lords theme song has been found at long last

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=IUGzY-ihqWc&feature=share

FAQ:
>Dubstep is gay lol?
Dubstep suits many chaotic factions as it is fairly chaotic
Also this song is hardly Dubstep

>I listened to three seconds and I thought it was shit?
No, you are shit. Try lasting longer than you do in bed next time, before giving a review

>If this music isn't to my personal taste, does that mean it is the wrong song for the Night Lords?
No

>ITS NOT METAL I CAN SHAKE MY NECKBEARD TO????
Metal music doesn't suit most new-age Chaos, this isn't the 80s. The Night Lords have evolved a lot in the last 8-10 years, so get on board or fuck off. Metal only really suits World Eaters, even then, probably Hardcore.

>My Emps Children love the shit metal though!!!
No, your structured music would bore them to death. Please read current fluff, not your 80s shit

>LOL LOOK MY SHIT SONG ABOUT BATS OR LIGHTNING IS FUNNY
*Pat pat* nice original joke, friend

Hypothetically speaking, what if I still want to design a /dudes/ army for Imperial Guard and I wish to research further? Which edition did Imperial Guard Penal Legions best, or, are there any decent BL books?
/my dudes/'s fluff so far: penal colony got devoured by the warp storms post Cadia. What remains is now a penal legion absorbed by the Adeptus Mechanicus expedition fleet. Being given minimal support by the Mechanicum because they are being used as screening fodder. Tabletop gimmick is a very high points % are boots on the ground, taking maximum causalities, and bringing no tanks. Eventually I want to at least write a theoretical 2000pt, and see how a small mock up would look from a hobby perspective.

>>96266022
Here they are. I quite like how both sets turned out.
The lighter one definitely feels more "slaanesh demon" skin and definitely feels more purple. While the other one has some really nice contrast, I think I did go a bit too hard with the final layer of white and it kind of overpowered everything underneath.

>>96266325
What the fuck are wave riders.
3 squads of fire dragons is too much, but everyone has 5 in a falcon with either fuegan or an autarch with a fusion gun.
5 of mine plus an autarch were able to delete fulgrim in 1 round of shooting, for example

>>96266338
I hope that's a pasta because that's a whole lot of coping and seething about imaginary arguments

>>96266309
Deciding to live in a 3ED world is completely fair and reasonable and still 40k. You aren't delusional for saying you prefer the lore up to that point and stopping, you are making a conscious decision on a matter of taste to increase your personal enjoyment of the hobby. I say this as someone with Primaris models. You just have a tiny brain, the tiny brain makes you angry and you lash out at people enjoying the hobby in their own way.

>>96266338
Anyone giving this many reasons why their music is better than your music is a miserable faggot. You shouldn't care this much about other people's taste in art

>>96266345
Anon meant wave serpents, but Fire Dragons are very squishy and shouldnt ever get 2 rounds of shooting in if your opponent is half way decent

AoS and it's not even close. 40k chaos is 1 guy painted different colours + some AoS models in 1K Sons

>>96266061
khorne units look retarded in AoS so 40k wins by default

>>96266061
AoS models are all better than their 40k equivalent. Every one.

>>96266238
I think Eldar are in a fine place overall, it's just the meta reasons you mentioned that make Fire Dragons such a necessity

>>96266358
>You aren't delusional for saying you prefer the lore up to that point and stopping
No but it does make you delusional for you to claim everyone else should ignore lore after a certain point because you don't like the lore past that point. Also people who enjoy all the lore are pretty calm and reasonable, if anything it's the people claiming any lore after X point in time is bad are the ones lashing out because the world isn't matching rheir standards. I'm sorry they changed your spaceman bedtime story, but you can keep reading the old one if it's your comfort book, you just can't expect everyone else to feel the same

>>96266061
Pretty well across the board aos mogs 40k models with a few exceptions. There's a handful of rough models, but far less flops than 40k

>>96266415
the only chaos models that look better than their 40k counterparts are undivided slaves of darkness and hedonites of slaanesh

>>96266397

Fallacy fallacy. Nta but your refutations are discarded.

I'm asking what model you think is the most iconic warhammer miniature of all time because everyone is talking about different stuff and I'm not about to pretend that I know which poster you are

>>96266567
not part of the discussion but you're the most obnoxious poster in this general right after decalfag

purely hypothetically would csm benefit or suffer from having different warmasters in different eras/black crusades like fantasy had everchosens?

Dark Eldar desperately needs it. After Votann expansion and they lose all their resin in the codex they'll be the smallest major army in the game.
Covens in particular need some fresh blood.

>>96266436
So there's nothing to recommend to really get into the mood with human wave tactics? No previous edition delved into list options or examples to try to replicate in 10th?
Otherwise, I'm just going to listen to Gaunt's Ghosts again while looking over the 10th edition codex. Was never really interested or in tune with IG. Max Taurox (no guns) and Commissars is most likely the foundation.

That yellow seems too thick, I know it's a bitch paint to work with but looks like you applied a few thick coats instead of 10 thin ones. The blue of the armor also looks a bit off, is it a contrast type paint?

>>96266762
No it's just Wolf grey, I tried a few different colors on the shoulder and stuck with yellow and yea it came out too thick.

Gotta go with the contrast yellows like iyanden or imperial fists, the normal yellows just suck too much.

Over the fucking line.

>>96266747
>>96266714
Okay fine. If we consult the /40ks/ rubric, you're between a 4-5. The colour scheme is clear, and everything has been shaded and there is a few highlights on some details, but the flat panels have some coffee staining and glossy finish and there are areas like the boot that have inconsistentshade pooling in the recesses. Your yellow has quite a bit of texture and is quite flat, and your black is fairly flatas well. The beard also is a little messy and the necklace is really inconsistent in its highlighting. There are also mouldlines present on the hammer still. There is a lot to improve on but isn't terrible for tabletop standard. The base is textured but is fairly flat as well as more effort could be made to make the rocks fit in with your ground work.

>>96266817
>>96266812
Brighter highlights will do a lot for this scheme. I'd push the red up to an orange and the blue up to a bright off white

>>96266833

>>96266836
That's the thing. I don't want off white blue and orange. I want hard saturated red and hard saturated blue.

We don't have one. We've got a handful of 9s but the best painters here still have things they could improve on to reach level of the best painters in the world. It's also important that the best painters here have something to shoot for and not feel like they've hit the ceiling

>>96266863
blanon is a 10

>>96266888
he's easily the best we have
but with respect, against current GD winners he wouldn't get beyond a commended pin

>>96266888
I love the dudes stuff but he's not golden demon tier, at least yet. Calling the admech/tsons guy a 9 is also pushing it but I do agree he's the first behind BL anon

>>96266871
Thats fine as long as you're aware of it and comfortable with it. Painting is as involved as you want to make it for yourself. The scale is just there for people who want to know where they're at and where to go next if they want to, but if you're happy where you're at I don't think it's a bad thing to cruise at a 3

>>96266888
>Boys love anon is a 10
Woah do you have any pictures of this fujoshi goddess?

My paint scale is pretty simple.

F: still on sprue. F- if the sprue is being painted.
D: assembled. You're trying!
C: model is base coated
B: model is base coated and shades
A: model is battle ready.
S: anything above battle ready.

>>96266904
I don't know how else I would make an iron warrior besides iron paint, oil and then the black and yellow stripes. They're kinda the most simple paintjob of all 40k armies.

I wish they made a game about Genestealer Cults in the style of Dark Corners of the Earth, it was a shitty buggy mess but man the atmosphere was top tier.

Why?

>>96266918
The black and yellow stripes make it pretty challenging, especially for someone newer to the hobby. Iron hands are easier.

>>96266888
He is phenomenal without a doubt, but when you throw him up against Sergio Calvo, or Richard gray level painters it's hard to claim he's a 10. He absolutely mogs everyone here, as does that sisters painting with the nmm, but they aren't at the top quite yet

>>96266934
hot damn that's some great shit.

>>96266931
Naw I just use thermal tape from my laptop repair kit to keep the stripes normal and non-retarded, after the first few attempts at freeform stripes. The negavolt cultists are also kind of samey, being 10 of the same model.

>>96266927
The camera can capture more detail than your eyes. Take the picture a litte further away if you want it to look more like IRL.

>>96266918
Add a highlight tone to your steel, push for high contrast on your yellow before doing your stripes. Add gold into your scheme. Add glow effects or lighting. Add weathering. There's a few things you can do to push them further without going full insaneo mode and doing like nmm and crazy blending

>>96266833
I wonder where Im at on this list. 7, maybe an 8? 9 in my dreams?

>>96266947
He might be the best in the world at nmm at this scale. Some of the bust painters beat him but I don't think anyone does more realistic 28mm nmm. He is a fucking monster

Overall, successful experiment with the purple skin. I got to see how some new paints behaved and I quite like how both turned out. Wouldnt be upset to paint some daemonettes or w/e in this style. I even tried out a slight nmm gold on that ring which I think turned out nice.

I really hope I get to knock it out of the park with August's character painting. I have some wild psychotic ideas, and Im anxious about getting them done to a good enough level.

>>96267031
I really think your pictures are holding you back. Your closeups look much nicer than this pic. If I had to put them at a tier off just this pic I'd say they're a 5-6 but I've seen them up close and know they're at a 7-low 8

>>96267031
I'd say a 6 or 7. You could improve by getting better at blending. I also think some black lining could make the models easier to read

>>96267068
Yeah I need to buy a proper lightbox or somesuch sometimes. My pictures are definitely not always flattering.

>>96267027
This is fucked up how good it is. It feels like a waste having someone so talented in the hobby I think that's just some gross shallow part of my brain wishing it never had to compare myself to him

>>96267075
Have you tried the curled piece of paper technique? Makes a big difference in helping your camera focus. Also a tripod/phone stand + locked focus + timer makes for pretty stable shots

>>96267089
I did a while back, I think my biggest problem is I dont have a good enough light source. My only lamp is a cheap shitty yellow bulb that mutes all the colors. Its either that or phone light or the light coming from the ceiling (which is what I usually use and why things look better when I set them up in the zoom-ins)

The full group shot earlier I just used natural light from outside cause it was early in the morning.

Hold the fucking phone. When did fisheads start being relevant to the warp and get an embyonic god?

>>96267123
When they enslaved enough humans to make it happen. The 5th sphere is currently genociding their auxiliary forces because they hate what the Tau'va has become.

>>96267105
Reptile compact fluorescents can be cheap. I've found that sometimes leds mess with my camera sensor but fluos are always perfect. They also screw into standard bulb fittings so you can use cheap desk lamps from the thrift store, and also don't produce heat in the same way an incandescent full spectrum does. The full spectrum incandescent also require a huge amount of power so you need to have a lamp that will take them cause most are over 100w

How monopose are the Sword Brethern? If I run them in a unit of 10, would there be any repeat poses?

>>96267123
Few editions back. Whenever the 4th Sphere Expansion was added.

>>96267159
But maybe I’m biased from how TRULY awful my early stuff was.

>>96265608
>>96267123
The existence of tau'va also means that at some point in the 10th expansion sphere the tau empire will have conquered enough psychic races and humans that tau'va will be unstoppable, or rather that the mere expansion of the tau into the fringe worlds has already become concrete reality, time a flat circle, forcing the creation of chaos god of forced empathy.

>>96266863
I don't want to sound off one way or another so I'm just gonna say I'm genuinely happy to get mentioned like this

>>96267135
>>96267153

So it's not the Tau that made it but other "members" of the empire. Ok This seems less retarded than I originally thought.
