>Thread Question:
Is there something that's named in the fluff, but otherwise has no canonical description or artwork, for which you have inexplicably a very specific mental image? like a piece of equipment, or a unit, or an alien race, or a character or a subfaction?
>Alt Thread Question:
Do you have a project you want to start but have been postponing for a while, for whatever reason?

Space Wolves and Blood Angels are the worst factions in the game
people who play them should stick to twilight fanfiction

>Have to take this into the LGS fucking wobbling all the way
i'm so fucking scared bros

>>96368932 (OP)

My ravenwing army
I'm spacing my spending and there's a few kits I'd like.

>>96368966
I have a foam tray, the pokey bits can catch but I prefer a few moments of terror to 30+ minutes of terror that they fall in transit

>>96368953
Both suffered a lot from GWs treatment. But at least space wolves are almost redeemed now. Their 2nd wave will hopefully get rid of the ugly Wulfen.

>>96368953
I think dark eldar and emperor children are actually the worst factions, but considering how wide of a net the selection of ranges cast it's only natural that someone wouldn't like everything in this setting

>>96368966
Pro tip: it's better to do multiple movements rather than make one difficult movement.
In plain english: you don't have to put everything on one plate.

>>96368953
lol that didnt go the way you thought it would did you twerp?

>>96368966
>TQ
What anon describes there actually prevents me from buying any Deldar. Hopefully their refresh will get rid of those fucking ships completely

TQ: I run D&D oneshots at my lgs and get 50 bucks in store credit for doing them. Ive since built up $400 in credit and the Dark Angel Battleforce box has been speaking to me like the green goblin mask

>>96368988
looks like it worked perfectly

>>96369002
Sure bud and I will not engage with you further and give you the attention you seek nomodels

>>96368966
Desu anon you should consider a nice foam case for your dudes. That’s a lot of money and time right there.

>>96368989
Fuck you. The boats are great.

>>96368989
It's extremely unlikely that they would replace or even just remove the ships

maybe you should look into better bases and flight stands for them
magnet baron has some ugly ass thick transparent bars, while you could do something easy with just multiple brass rods

>>96368999
oh and Ive been putting it off because im currently interviewing for jobs where I may have to move

>>96369009
you're never getting on the fridge with this attitude

>>96369025
he's never getting on it period, the fridgeking put a sticker on saying he's banned for life lmao

>>96368989
Very unlikely they will target the boats first. Most certainly we will see a witch or maybe even kabilite refresh, along with the berserker things. And a new archon probly.

>>96368932 (OP)
>TQ
I have nothing that I can remember at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if from my wiki reading secondary days I believe something to be canon when it is just a troll inserting fanfiction into the wikia for the lulz.

>Alt TQ
Wanted to make use of my Cadian at Ease model to make it a statue.
Like I had plans to learn Blender to sculpt a low-poly statue base for the metal guardsman model.
Then Wargames Atlantic's 3D printing division makes a plinth and so I just need to get a printed plinth from a commission service and I'll be ready for when the collage demands terrain pieces.

I'm thinking about weathered bronze. Like the skeleton armor from this tutorial: https://nstarmagazine.com/OATHMARK_SKELETONS_FROM_SCRATCH_1.htm

Someone asked about flying bases last thread but i do t think they saw my reply, so imma link it here in case it helps out. This is how I recommend you do it >>96368006>>96368030
I buy my magnets from kjmagnetics.

nta but this talk of the fridge and who gets to be on it and who doesn't is getting a little to close to bullying.

>circlejerking over the redditor lolcow right from the start of the thread
unironically fucking kill yourselves, all of you

>>96369065
we told you what would happen if you throoded

>>96369060
ignore it

>>96369059
If only flying bases would not look so bad. Metal rods are slightly better, but still not very pleasant to look at

>>96369076
Excluding people for "lols" is childish and demeans this place. That's just my opinion tho.

Can someone tell me who this guy is or what he did? beyond being a black face on a cover?

>>96368966
are those sails done with nail polish

>>96369105
it's not for lols, it's because of the spamming racism and nazi stuff
apparently fridge guy doesn't like it, it's his fridge

>>96369105
it's not "for lols"
the guy desperately wanted to get added and the guy making the fridge pics gave him a clear goal to reach (stop acting like a giant sperg at all times) and he failed to do it so he got banned

>>96369117
>spamming racism and nazi stuff
So we're just making stuff up now?

>>96369085
I use a normal base because I prefer them. Eldar tanks also have the advantage of being more flat and wide so it’s harder to see the stand. I also like mine low riders cause it looks rad.
Personally I’ll always go clear over painted black rods. Big ass rock plinths look cool on a displays but I think they look dopey on game tables.

>>96369108
You have google, you can check lexicanum with two clicks

>Ferren Areios Is the current Captain of the Ultramarines 6th Company and Master of the Rites
>He was originally named only Ferren and was born in Hive Daner Fifty, which he was forcibly taken from by agents of Archmagos Dominus Cawl, and then turned into a Primaris Space Marine.[1c] Ferren would then undergo training and hibernation for millennia, on Cawl's Ark Mechanicus Zar-Quaesitor, until the Indomitus Crusade was preparing to begin. At that time, Lord Commander Guilliman personally chose Ferren to be the adjutant for Lord Lieutenant Messinius, after becoming impressed with his training records. While he still slept, Ferren was also bestowed the rank of Lieutenant by the Lord Commander, who asked Messinius to teach Ferren all he knew

Are fridges really this rare? I thought everyone had a fridge?

>>96369140
>Messinius was present when Ferren was brought out of hibernation and the Lord Lieutenant told the Primaris what was expected of him. After Ferren absorbed this, and swore his service to the Emperor, Messinius asked him if he wanted to change his name. As his old life was gone and he would serve under Messinius, Ferren asked the Lord Lieutenant to choose a new name for him. After thinking of it, Messinius granted him the last name Areios, which was taken from an ancient myth and was synonymous with Mars. Now named Ferren Areios, the Lieutenant joined Messinius as he sought to check the state of the mishap prone, Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quintus. It had been chosen to be the first of the Crusade's Fleets to launch, but a series of accidents, sabotages and sickness, had delayed Quintus' readiness. This had led Guilliman to ask Messinius to determine if it was still possible for Quintus to launch on time. Messinius had been informed that a plague was also spreading amongst Quintus' Fleet and when he and Ferren arrived on the Cruiser Ideos, they witnessed it first hand. They quickly learned that the sickness was a Warp-born plague and those stricken with it, caused a number of minor Daemons to materialize when they died. After aiding in dispatching an outbreak of Daemons on Ideos, the two then went to give their reports to Lord Commander Guilliman, on how catastrophic the plague truly was.

carnac you’re the OP and just fight with yourself because of your schizophrenia

>>96369122
I have behaved better than most posters here for 4 months and I still got freshly banned from the collage and the SS so its pretty obvious that it is just targeting.

>>96369158
>Later, Areios fought at the Battle of the Machorta Sound. Leading a boarding party of fresh Primaris Space Marines aboard the Chaos command ship Blood King, Areios and his men fought their way to the bridge. There, they encountered a statue that began to move and revealed itself as a Daemon Prince of Khorne. All of Areios' squad was wiped out by the creature, and Ferren himself was brought to his knees. However before the Daemon could deliver the final blow a group of Aggressor reinforcements arrived, battering the enemy with enough firepower to allow Areios to plunge his Power Sword into the creatures chest, slaying it.
>Roughly 5 years into the Indomitus Crusade Areios had become Captain of First Company, of the first battalion, of the first division of Battle Group Iolus. While planning the attack on Tiantin City on the planet Suladen, Messinius had overruled Areios' slower more careful strategy in favor of speed. Areios later participated in the attack with his personal squad and led his company. After arriving at the enemy's heavy guns they were attacked by a rogue psyker, Areios had his men distract the psyker, and then killed him with a grenade. Shortly after that, one of Areios' Sergeants informed him that several Astra Militarum traitors had surrendered, and were willing to exchange their lives for intelligence. Areios ordered that they all be executed as they'd be a drain on resources, and believed they had nothing worthwhile to tell.
>Later during the Battle of Srinagar, Areios faced the Word Bearers Dark Apostle Pridor Vrakon. Despite his many centuries of simulated training, Areios proved no match for Vrakon's abilities and was badly wounded and left for dead by the disgusted Dark Apostle. Saved from death by his Belisarian Furnace, he was later recovered by Serfs and nursed back to health.

People often say that GW regrets Slaanesh or some earlier lore or whathave you, but I know what they actually regret the most.

Different Companies having different shoulder trim. It was a good idea at the time but I just know that if the GW of now could choose, they'd have ALL Ultramarines in blue/gold.

>>96369182
>When the Unnumbered Sons were dissolved, Areios hoped he would remain under the command of Messinius and join the White Consuls Chapter, but Guilliman himself requested Areios join the Ultramarines directly, and he was assigned to the Sixth Company in time for the Battle of Garrovire. Aerios, along with Captain Maximus Epathus, Librarian Maendaius, Lieutenant Vero, and several other Ultramarines, were part of a mission to investigate strange psychic obfuscation within the ruins of a purged city on Garrovire, where they discovered a Chaos-tainted statue. Deciding to destroy the statue, the Ultramarines were attacked by a Possessed member of their squad, leaving Vero and Epathus dead, and Meandaius suspected of corruption; Aerios assumed de-facto command of the company. Following a vision from the librarian, the Sixth Company Strike Cruiser joined up with Inquisitor Leonid Rostov to search for the base of the Hand of Abaddon. With aid from the Votann Omrigar Kindred, and Rostov's small Imperial Fleet, the 6th Company, 84th Mordian Iron Guard, and a Platoon of Inquisitorial Stormtroopers were able to board the Hand of Abaddon's Blackstone Fortress, defeating the cultists and Chaos Space Marines within. During the battle Areios kills the Hand of Abaddon member dubbed the Butcher King, but not before Five of the Eight other members of the Hand had escaped.
>Several years after the battle on the Blackstone Fortress Ferren went to Macragge to officially be recognized as Captain of the Sixth Company by Roboute Guilliman. Before his meeting with Guilliman Ferren traveled to the Hall of Solemnity to see the resting place of Maximus Epathus. While looking for Epathus he ran into Cato Sicarius, who offered Ferren advice on dealing with the death of Epathus, and shared the lessons he had learned over the years of his service. While they talked Cato led Ferren to Epathus' resting place.

>make the old unit worse and take away its rules and give it to the new unit so people buy the new thing and shelf the old thing because you made an otherwise redundant new unit

i fucking hate this type of release, its so deeply cynical and exploitative.

leagues needed a bunch of new unit types, they dont have jump troops, flyers, skimmers, walkers, etc. instead they release 5 different types of completely redundant units we already had, and stripped and nerfed the old units just to convince you to buy the new ones, while leaving the massive gaps in the range completely intact.

>>96369037 here
>pic related
Just found a fan made at ease version of the metal Cadians
Now I want to see GW hopefully make a current Cadian at ease model.
Is there a name designation to the "patterns" of Cadian flak armor? Like previous generation just Cadian pattern and new generation "post fall pattern?" Or is it just a redesign?

Reason I ask is because the current Imperial Guard tanks have a pattern designation (I think) called "Phaeton Pattern."

>>96369193
the new one can carry two troop types only but nice try

>>96369186
They effectively are all in gold and blue, as far as they're concerned, why regret something it's practically a non-issue?

>check lexicanum
Ok, but is there something in the novels that goes beyond what's said in lexicanum about the dude?

>>96369108
Isn't he the novel guy and if he is he's getting a model isn't he?
>another generic ultramarine lieutenant

He was given multiple chances and he kept being annoying.

>1 minute apart
You should space out your shitstirring more

I never cared for the fridge

>>96369193
Wait you are trying to tell me those things are transports??? How they are so small.

>>96369037
is there something made of bronze in a standard guardman's equipment? because I think it would be cool if the monument was commissioned symbolically with the remains of something specific that could be found on whatever battlefield they fought in, like melted down nametags or spent las batteries or razor wire, dunno

>>96369235
I don't even know who or what Carnac is, stop projecting

>>96369246
They carry 5 models, you need two of each to carry a full squad

dwarfs are smol

>>96369037
>>96369197
>>96369204
I can see gw making a modern cadian at ease as a store exclusive free model.
Or warhammer world exclusive.
I kind of want a guardsman at ease for every big canon regiment now.

>>96369197
Pretty sure you can make a modern cadian at ease with bits of the normal squad and upgrade sprue.

>>96369285
hey anon, can we see your fully painted army you played against him with?

>>96369228
Yeah, valrak's rumor is that he is getting a model, maybe one of those tie-in with black library celebrations.

>>96368932 (OP)
>TQ
I have all the pieces to make Erelim, I'm in the middle of another project right now and I also need to learn how to paint black goodly

>>96369272
she's kinda cool

>>96369272
I want to try this now.

>>96369217
>take away its rules

i'll spell it out nice and slow for you since you seem to have a learning disability

S C O U T S

they took away its scout move just so their new scout vehicle could be the only scout vehicle. they also reduced the toughness and firepower on the sagitaur to make the choice seem even more obvious.

they did the same thing with hearthguard and the new robots, stripping toughness and gun strength and all manner of stats to try to entice you to buy the new units that would have otherwise just been completely redundant and outgunned with the existing units

>>96369193
Stuff like that caused me to stop playing for quite some time.

>>96369221
yes, the rest of the novel, retard

>>96369193
That's a skimmer though

>>96369259
I guess. I always thought they were like viper jetbikes. I’ve seen the models in person they are pretty small. Didn’t know they are transports though. They still are the coolest squat unit though I love the buggies.

>>96369295
Hasn't valrak been wrong about everything that came out this year

>>96369294
I didn't play, let alone against him

however if you want a photo of a model I have painted in the past here you go
(you can tell why i'm a bit salty about the CF thing)

IRON WARRIORS RANGE WHEN
PERTERABO MODEL WHEN

>>96369376
I wish he was wrong about bangles

>>96369376
Not as far as I remember, no, he got the marine characters release very much pinned down.
His speculations suck, but it's self evident that he speaks about actual rumors he has at least one very reliable source feeding him stuff.

>>96369386
Is perty just a big daemon engine? Im still only on book 6 of the horus heresy novels. Reading about dark angels sucks so I'm having a hard time getting through it.

>>96369285
>has taken 10 months to put three colors on a model

>>96369401
Don't bother.

>>96369250
I was just thinking of the whole thing being weathered bronze.

>>96369384
>All that plain empty space.
Bro don’t you have any decals? Someone on this thread probly has some spare numbers you could use (no 8’s though).

>>96369389

>sanguinary guard redone again
>unique kit for the death company on foot instead of an upgrade sprue
>generic space marines get a generic venerable dreadnought that can be built as chaplain or librarian, so bangels get back the librarian dreadnought too
In hindsight, I can only see what the blood angels got more and more like a stopgap rather than a true upgrade like the other chapters

>>96369438
yeah I don't own an old marine vehicle transfer sheet unfortunately

>>96369439
none of this will happen

>>96369444
What is with some GW decal sheets being so rare, my fav wolf one is impossible find.

>>96369199
dont they only carry infiltrating yaegirs?

>>96369466
yeah, apparently that retard thinks a shitty transport that can take one single unit is trying to steal a gimmick

>>96369439
>If we're lucky enough GW will get around to fixing the angels a few years down the line
GW should just make "Sanguinary Knights" and give those cool artificer mk10 armor and then wings.
Also an actual Death Company kit would be great.
There I fixed the blood Angels and gave them a range refresh for 11th edition.

>>96369439
it's your fault for playing Primaris, it will never stop being garbage

Can I get a quick rundown of all the current rumors of upcoming 40k stuff? I know you guys are all really tuned into this stuff.

>>96369484
Space wolves and dark angels eating good

>>96369037
That's a great idea. I have a an extra monopose marine I may turn into a statue that way.

>fast thread suddenly dies
carnac got banned again

>>96369439
>In hindsight, I can only see what the blood angels got more and more like a stopgap rather than a true upgrade like the other chapters
They didn't get that much less compared to the others

Space wolves are a bit outlier because their range is the one that can rely the least on simpler marine kits with a color swap

>>96369530
They are still arguing in the previous thread

>>96369535
Think gw will make a nihilus marine upgrade kit? That is basically space wolves power armor but without the wood iconography?
>chapter based on nihilus
>shit gets broken due to nihilus being nihilus resupply not being easily accessed

What would you like to see?

>>96369554
>without the wood
I meant without the wolf autocorrect must have gotten me.

>>96369535
>They didn't get that much less compared to the others
they did, and what they got was infinitely worse than the others

>>96369439
How is this a fix

>>96369535
>didnt get that much less
>DA got two units with their characters
>BT got two units with their characters and 1:1 blanche model

>>96369587
DA got a primarch, that's at least 3 units worth.

>>96369535
Why are some greyed out?

>>96369554
the cicatrix is an absolute nothingburger, it has no real consequences

>>96369535
>they didn't get much less
>pic unrelated

>>96369598
We should be getting Leman Russ here in a month or two.

>>96369599
They got released in different separate waves, sometimes years away, either before or after, not their one respective relaunch.

I have an old (1988) Rhino I want to paint but the rear exhaust nozzles broke off at some point and are no longer with it and while my initial idea was to just drill them out I don't really want to do that to a model that is older than me. Could I superglue some copper wire to replace it?

>>96369485
I had a proven source tell me that we'll be receiving an update for killa kans themed around baggy pants and cool sneakers

>>96369556
Can I see your ambull anon? I know your bsf stuff was some of your earlier work but I always thought the ambull was a fun sculpt

>>96369631
You can always do that.
Reminder that many official models were sculpted with copper wires, plasticards and other gubbinz

>>96369631
Could cut the end of a ball point pens ink thingy and it might work okay. I think copper wire would stay very sharp and likely have the paint flake since it's so smooth

Was thinking - when 11th edition comes out and they acutally make combat patrol a propper game mode but the combat patrol magazine is still getting published how would this work?

>>96369644
It really is. I had a lot more of a salmon color in mind when I started painting him but I decided to roll with the orange when it started looking like that.

>>96369660
What would that change. The magazine is just a way to get models drip fed to you for a discount. It doesn't really have any impact on the rules

>>96369676
it doesnt explain the rules in the magazines. Only basics but I guess they would be outdated with 11th edition anyways dont know

>>96369667
Blend on the carapace is tasty, thanks for sharing him anon

>>96369685
They would just pack new rules in the new issues of the magazine. It wouldn't change anything

>>96369598
Yeah but Johnson ruins the brooding paranoia of the dark angels in a way where none of the other loyalist primarchs coming back would've. DA are so boring now.

>>96369710
Fallen shit was the more retarded and boring part of the DAngels.
Lion coming back and then mostly putting an end to it was for the better.

>>96369603
What should be done by gw to fix this?

>>96369716
yeah and now the DA have so much more unique characteristics like...

>>96369710
DA got flanderized, their chapter master turned into a marvel hero, and became hated for being OP a couple times they needed something.

>>96369535
I only have bad experiences with BAfags online and IRL, they tend to be obnoxious and cringe as shit even relative to most other marinefags. I dunno why that is, but it is. If they feel embarrassed, humiliated or angered by the developments to their faction in these past couple editions, I say that's good, because fuck those guys. Too bad the templartards didn't suffer the same.

>>96369723
Having no characteristic is better than being stuck with a retarded one that is half-baked and forced.
>oh nooo, some of our legion went traitor during the horus heresy
>the imperium will kill all of us if they ever find out
Yeah, totally not like every fucking loyalist legion had traitors within them at some point. Nevermind the amount of marines who have gone traitor over the course of 10 000 years.

Fallen were a mistake and always will be.

>>96369736
>I've only had bad experiences with BAfags online and IRL
>posts the two legions that are far more infamous for their annoying spergy obnoxious players
not reading the rest, seethe more faggot

>>96369717
The easiest fix is declaring dead or cut off and dying all worlds on the nihilus side
Baal included, the angels must thus fuck off from there and lose their world

The hardest fix is actually wasting time detailing how exactly the loss of frequent contact and communication is affecting the light side of the galaxy, because the dark side was supplying its tithes and now suddenly they can't supply them reliably, that has to have consequences with losses on certain warfronts, difficulties in certain patterns which get replaced or abandoned

>>96369743
The DA were the only legion that blew up their homeworld and maybe killed their primarch. comparing that to something like a few of the IH flipping post Ferrus getting rekt is disingenuous, even if HH had watered down the fallen a bit.

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>96369723
that pic is what watchers look like under their robes and nobody can prove me wrong

>>96369716
>and then mostly putting an end to it
but he didn't, he just randomly appears to randomly picks up random fallen who happen to be redeemable, and the rest of the chapter doesn't have the balls to say or do anything

You're covering shit writing with even worse writing, at least before it could be speculated that there was some other terrible secret the dark angels were hiding.

>>96369763
This all sounds nice, but I feel like gw probably at this point focus on the Sanctus area and ignore the nihilus when they can. To keep it vague so that the imagination can be accurate to what the nihilus is like.
Just describe how terrible things are in the Sanctus area and then in everyone who cares about the lore will remember that the name nihilus is worse.
But I think that ship has sailed.

>>96369461
Bluebangles anon reporting in
Im working on my other dudes right now but more of these guys are on the way I promise

>>96369748
Dark Angels get a bad rap because they were broken as shit multiple times and got a bunch of list chasing mega fags. It could happen to anyone.

>>96369876
lovely dood
Are those BA tac squad bits?

I have a weird point fill for my list, I can either do a squad of 10 jump pack intercessors, or 5 jump pack intercessors and 5 scouts
what would be better in the long run?

>>96370018
10 > 5

>>96370018
5 and scouts
scouts are the best unit in the codex

>>96370018
the latter, they're both scoring units, no point maxing em out

>>96369966
They are. Ive got a stockpile of those shoulder pads, couldnt get them anywhere else

Continued from last thread sorta; my favorite stuff is the random Inquisitorial Agents I've done. The GKs honestly feel like a side project for me, something to game with vs the stuff I truly love.

Any recommendations for first army + titan?
The bigger the titan the better. I like big mechs. Dont want to play without a giant murder bot, just want to have fun.

Seems like a lot of armies’ playstyles can be summed up as “not very killy, but good at board control/scoring.” What armies are the opposite? Killy but struggle to control/score?

>>96370173
Just go Space Wolves and add some Knights

>>96370173
Eldar wraiths and a titan

>>96370175
Eldar aspect host is very killy (if you line up your targets right) and ok at secondaries, not great at holding primary as aspects are all OC1

oldfag here, did they delete chaos and renegades?

>>96370202
Yes. Probably holding the idea hostage for a future edition but nobody can say for sure.

Looking for pointers on what to get next for a CSM army, gonna run Night Lords in the Renegade detachment.

I have Cultists, a Rhino and Rubrics on my to-get list but nothing else yet, here's what I have so far:
Night Lords Praetor as a Chaos Lord
Legionaries (1x10 set, 2x5 sets)
Nemesis Claw
1x5 Terminators
1x2 Obliterators
1x Traitor Guardsmen (Krieg kill team)

What else would you slot in here? Right now I'm at 1285pts not counting the stuff I plan on grabbing.

>>96370202
Renegades and heretics was squatted many editions ago

>>96370239
>>96370269
That's cool they delete my army and not everything is even in the chaos marine book

>>96370283
Same bro same

>>96368999
>>96369019
might want to use that credit before you move, bozo!

I hope we're still modelposting, I just finished for the night. This has to be the coolest damn thing I've yet painted. The sword turned out cooler than I ever could have imagined.

This'll be the last update for the week unless I get lucky and have some free time sunday. The Prince is all done, so next week I gotta finish just the shield and the base. Base should be easy but Im still not super sure what colors I want to make the different kind of tiles/rocks and the statue.

>>96370175
Both Eldar armies
Both Knights

>>96370305
It's very nice anon. I really like the orange blend on the sword, very striking.

>>96370263
lord discordant/daemon prince got nice glow ups

>>96370310
Orange and blue is still a great color combo despite being overdone

>>96368999
It's use it or lose it funds if you're moving soon. Just don't build the minis until after you move. The box is easy enough to move with the rest of your stuff

>>96370283
Depending on what you have you can just run them as IG like I have a couple of times. Still sucks that you lose a lot of what made them unique

>bought my first combat patrol last week
>tfw haven't even finished painting them and I just placed an order on the last stock of a bigger bundle box cause i was afraid some other sucker would steal it from me by the time i was done with the combat patrol
The FOMO hits harder when you are from a relatively small city in the third world

>>96370305
The only bad time for modelposting is if there's a tantrum currently in progress. Looks good anon

>>96370263
You need some more anti-tank in there, 2 oblits is not gonna cut it.

>>96370334
Eh Ive posted during tantrums without realizing before. Thanks anon glad you like it.

>>96370175
>Killy but struggle to control/score?
Most of the elite armies are like this.

I think the schizoposter got temp banned lol

>>96370173
40k titans are pretty expensive and also kinda bad for what you pay points wise. They also aren't very usable in game due to their size making movement challenging, and making them very visible to other units. The porphyrion is pretty huge amd more reasonably priced in term of points for what you get in game than the actual titans

>>96370321
Discolord is super tempting, love the look of the model. I have a Daemon Prince on foot from my Death Guard that I could use if it's worth the points cost - should have also mentioned I threw in a set of Nurglings and a Beast of Nurgle from my daemons pile in my list for screening + tanking.

>>96370341
I'm thinking about grabbing the upcoming Horus Heresy battleforce and running the rocket launcher marines as Havocs, there would be 10 in there. Would that cut it more or should I consider something different?

>>96370369
You know we had a pretty good streak going of posts about the game and modeling without any mention of schizo shit until you posted this

>>96370305
I'm still working on LoC's wings because picking out all the detail is taking longer than I thought it would. I like how the feathers turned out though.

Anyone played with or against new Knights or Death Guard yet? How are they feeling now?

>>96369710
>Johnson ruins the brooding paranoia of the dark angels
If anything I've been surprised at how much he hasn't done that. Guilliman coming back shook things up. Lion coming back has been more or less business as usual. He hasn't really done anything and the Unforgiven are still doing all the things they've always done. It's frankly a little bizarre how nothing has changed.

>>96370391
Launchers are pretty shit AV, S9 is going to be wounding any proper tank on a 5+. Lascannons and the vindicator are pretty swingy but that's the best we got as far as I know.

>>96368979
>considering how wide of a net the selection of ranges cast it's only natural that someone wouldn't like everything in this setting
I feel like if you hate 1 thing in 40k you might already hate 1/3 of the setting already. Maybe even 2/3 of it.

>>96368979
I hate this fucking image so much it's unreal

>>96370476
Maybe you shouldn't have been an annoying cunt or painted your marines orange then

>>96370305
Very cool

>>96370173
DG+Knight is pretty gross
This did get some nerfs with point increases but the combo is still strong

>>96369736
Bafags are either true kino sovl hobbyists or pure cringe no in between

>>96370486
The image is not meant to trigger the O&T anon, and it's not triggering anyone but the specific person it's meant to trigger.

>>96370517
I'm neither of these but I still think that image is cringe as fuck

>>96370528
cringing isn't getting triggered

>every space marine driver/pilot is a battle brother unable to engage the enemies of the mankind in glorious melee combat nor with the holy bolter
feels bad man

>>96370555
They get bigger, even holier weapons to fight with. The treads of consecrated battle tanks, or the integrated weapons of their fliers and walkers.

>>96370437
Gotcha, I'll keep an eye out for lascannon bits so I can convert them. Definitely though about a vindicator but this confirms it for me. Thanks for the input.

>>96370555
This is why I love the kits that have a marine popping up in a turret or something, feels more realistic.

>>96370563
>posts made by a crying driver in a rhino watching his brothers get stuck in

How is this series overall?
Thinking about reading it.

Can you ally in Eldar stuff into DEldar? Specifically a Wraithknight

>>96370563
>>96370575
i don't know why, but i feel bad for brother pilotus in the rhino

>>96370581
nope. Eldar/Deldar alliances haven't really existed ever since the Ynnari were introduced, and the Ynnari faction is EXTREMELY restrictive on what units you can take from either of them. Suffice to say, Wraithknights are not on the table

>>96370592
Unfortunate. Thanks

>>96370555
I usually prefer to headcanon that most marine pilots/drivers are so heavily maimed from battle that they're no longer able to fight properly and their skill is best used at the controls of a vehicle supporting their brethren. Like dreadnought pilots, except they can still walk around and breathe under their own strength.

>>96370555
My land raider redeemer was basically a husk that a friend gave me and it didn't have the twin assault cannon turret on the front of it, so I put half a marine I had sitting around as the pilot in there and have him giving strategic commands (open wrist display and a pointing hand) from his hidey-hole. He's so important, he gets to be the twin assault cannon.

>>96370555
that's what armored tracks are for.

>order the Onslaught game to help start an army cheaply
>it gets lost in the mail
>can't be replaced because sold out
>b&n denied the refund but got it resolved via chargeback so fuck them
I just.. kind of want to quit the hobby and sell the stuff I have right now because now just to get 3 bladeguard it's going to cost me 60 bucks which is way more than all the game came with

>>96370308
Doesn't Drukhari have a bunch of annoying OC2 assholes that sticky objectives from within their transports

>>96370578

>>96370641
Try looking up some army lots on Ebay, you'd be surprised what you can find. Or save up and get a combat patrol/battleforce box with more stuff in it. It's going to take time to actually build up a list, so don't be discouraged.

Are there any primaris flyers?

That link is actually good, saving skeleton pic for those who don’t want to click
>paint dark bronze
>mix light blue green color with green wash

How do these people come up with these kinds of methods to get their desired effects? I don’t think in a million year’s time I would be able to think of something like this.

What are you working on /40kg/?
I applied silvers and bronzes on the ridgerunner after painting the chassis in dark green. It looks okay on the bars but I'm not sure about the circular piece on top.

>>96370687
Put a racing stripe on it

>>96370687
I've barely touched my Yncarne since Monday. I feel like it was a mistake to get it in the first place, along with the rest of the Triumvirate..

>>96370687
like on the box-art? I need to grab some masking tape for that I think.

>>96370687
there's a kid who plays Black Templars that wanted a game with me on saturday and I was 90% of the way through finishing my Drukhari so I'm hurridly putting the final squad together and spraying them black + magnetizing them so that I can play against him. The rest is all painted.

Imperial agents expansion is coming!!
I can feel it!!
In fact im pretty confident we are getting an end of edition special character!!
>>96370687
Wrestling on marketplace for a used up idoneth deepkin army for a guard regiment idea... Abnett turned me into a guardfag
Are there any good third party bits for sea/marine themed guard? With like bit diver helmets and such? I thought some of the solar auxilia and kharadon bits would make for a moderatly fucked up but serviceable mix.
>>96370578
No, not at all... It's an absolutely boring waste of time

>>96370687
Put a symbol on the circular piece to not make it one singular big unbroken color. Either freehand or transfer.

Currently ripping through my Night Lords by applying silver undercoat + blue speedpaint. Moving to gold trim on most of it tonight. After this I have some leftover Plague Marines and Poxwalkers that are half-done, the Soulblight Gravelord skeletons spearhead, and the Goremongers Kill Team + statue from their box. After that I will have a clean slate with no more WIPs. Hoping to get them all done by the holidays since I start working again in a few weeks.

>>96370728
Post some of them? I'm gonna start collecting Dark Eldar once I hit the 2000pts on my GSC.
>>96370744
>Put a symbol on the circular piece
that's a good idea. I don't think I can pull a free hand one but I can make it a stencil like cutout + sponge.

>>96370578
Dawn of Fire is like BL wanted to turn 40k into the kind of evolving narrative that the HH novels were, but they didn't actually have a plan for any of it so nothing actually happened in the entire series, just bland, soulless bolter porn

>>96370687
Painting my killteam

>>96370649
Yeah Kabalites with sticky objectives are their only real way to score primary because they have nothing especially good at standing on and holding a point without getting shot to hell. The trials and tribulations of a glass canon army. You mostly won by denying primary and flipping control every turn by killing everything on the points and then getting your own trade pieces destroyed in turn.

>>96370687
Painting/building Orikan now. I don't have any pics, so here's Imotekh

>>96370774
Honestly just free hand it, even if it's shit it'll just look like some 10IQ cultist did it

There's so few places yo actually get away with band freehanded, Orks mainly and the only way to become good at freehanding is to practice

>>96370671
I do understand where you're coming from, and there is some amazing deals on black templar and space wolves, but I didn't want to make those armies. Basic marine stuff seems hard to get your hands on, and really popular factions like dark angels are expensive as hell from what I've seen.

I don’t get why the atv gets shit on but the old first born flyers don’t.

>>96370857
You think the flying brick and the goldfish didnt get shit on?

>>96370857
pretty much all Primaris vehicles just look like overdesigned slop and ruin the purity of the firstborn vehicles being, for the most part, just boxes on treads

>>96370671
Just get them resin-printed. My friend does it for models that are ridiculously expensive or hard to find, like the Judiciar and the Bladeguard. He got a unit of Supressors recently, because they're only available on a large Vanguard Task Force sprue that he does not care about.
Look around for places that print stuff, you can provide them the .stl files of the models.

>>96370857
they were still better made and less ugly than the meme kart

>>96370578

Talos are okay. T7, 3+ 6++ 5+++, 7 wounds, twinlinked flamer for overwatch
Not the worst in the world

How do I "properly" convert a termie sorc into a kson sorc? I have the bits from the SOTs I just wanna know if they'll fit in smooth or need some finangling

>>96370942
Yeah but they're 80pts a pop and die to Plasma guns, let alone Melta. They're better as tank hunters than objective sitters with their haywire guns. Cronos at 50pts are way cheaper for the same defensive profile and almost always force opponents to waste damage they could otherwise have committed to your boats or Talos and their auras are useful to have in the midboard too.

>>96370687

How big are the two acastus knights compared to each other? Which one is bigger?

>>96368932 (OP)
I literally played my first game of 40K today and I had a lot of fun. I am certain I am going to pick up some version of warhammer and play. AoS models look really awesome and the GW employee said its got slimmed down rules , then some other guys were playing "Spearhead" which also looks fun. Im an adult with a job so I am comfortable with the cost , but would anyone be kind enough to point me in the right direction? I like the Black Templars of 40K , but the fantasy aesthetic has always been a favorite of mine. Any opinions or advice?

>>96368932 (OP)
I played my first 40k game with an experienced friend who explained everything through it and was super cool. I obviously lost, and while I'm glad he didn't let me win just to make me enjoy the game more (which I would have resented) I'm irrationally, very slightly bitter for losing and already thinking about what I should have done and planned differently.
Am I too childish for this game?

>>96371004
But anon, Gav Thorpe is right there

>>96371054
Don't buy for strong rules, rules change. Buy whatever has models or lore you think is cool, and that's completely up to you so we can't really tell you what army you like. BT got a codex recently and are in a good place. Dark angels are also knightly, with the fantasy vibe.

>>96371054
AoS has the better mini version with Spearhead, but 40k has more emphasis on positioning and shooting.
40kg sucks cock so do sigmar

>>96371087
>Dark angels are also knightly, with the fantasy vibe.
I see them with robes and such , they do look cool , thank you for the info !

>>96371054
People are theorizing that 11e (coming relatively soon) will have a revamped low point format that is reminiscent of Spearhead.

Real question is do you want to play WHF which is definitely hard fantasy (and go ask the /aosg/ fellas), or would you rather play sci-fi factions that have some fantasy elements/motifs to them?

Some retards in here will poo-poo AOS and while it doesn't get as much money as 40k (and therefore slower rate of new models), imo the model quality is much better.

>>96371113
Please do not set off the fucking fantasy autsit by discussing old world in /aosg/
Hell just avoid this board altogether for anything old world related, /aosg/ is fine outside of the gobshitters weekly meltys

>>96371113
>people
People like who? Based on what?

>>96371113
I dont really know I guess Ill just have to do a lot more research, this is a "Backup" hobby since I cant do my old hobby anymore so while Ive always wanted its only now at 40 that I am getting into wargaming. Thanks for all the help , I will keep the wargame specific to the thread in the future.

>>96371054
spearheads better than the main game for aos, at least at the moment.
40k combat patrol is doo doo garbage all around.
kill team has some appeal but I personally cant recommend it because it has everything I hate about 40k.
boarding patrol is one of those games I'd like to recommend but I probably shouldn't
you mileage with mainline 40k WILL vary. If you do start an army be aware that by the time you're done with it the new edition for 40k will start up.

>>96371054
Spearhead is a blast. I'd say pick the game whose aesthetic your most interested in because you'll always spend .ore time hobbying tham playing

If 40K tries to do the spearhead thing and includes starter terrain for a combat Patrol equivalent, what do you think they're going to put in the starter box? Is it really going to be four little L-shaped ruins?

>>96371142
I also really enjoy boarding patrol. It just kinda sucks how limited you are when list building.

>>96371142
Thank you for the honesty , if a new edition is coming out then I think it gives me time to think. But going off of what a previous anon and the GW employee said "Its what you think is cool" so even if the army gets stomped on in the upcoming edition if I like them , then does it matter?

>>96371150
For space marines, probably. But they could have other cool stuff in the other faction's boxes

>>96371151
Boarding patrol is a phenomenal game, but I would never, ever recommend to anyone actually buying all the terrain needed to play it. Check if your LGS has a full setup for it already though.

>>96371124
Oh I was more handwaving AOS and WHF as fantasy like I do 30k into 40k. But yeah autists be autistic.

>>96371054
As for possible fantasy factions in 40k,
maybe like Custodes/SoS, Grey Knights, Space Wolves, sorta Black Templar,
The Space elves can both be set up in a more fantasy way, and the chaos factions (except Emperor's Children) all feel like something that could plausibly wind up in AoS as some stupid crossover event.

Demons can sorta be played in both systems with the same army, but their existence as a standalone faction in 40k is shaky (I think it's still there?)

>>96371158
>>96371150
Someone proposed that every Warhead box should come with two pieces of faction-specific terrain in it so that you and the player you meet with combined always have enough terrain to make a game board and that seemed like the most expedient solution to split the cost amongst the player base.

>>96370687
Working at Farsight. You can see him in the back middle here, still very much in progress.

>>96371173
>Spiking the price with terrain plastic
Good idea but it's make warhead unaffordable for new players

>>96371186
>Good idea but it's make warhead unaffordable for new players
Combat patrols are already $170

>>96371194
I was about to say so are spearhead boxes, but they're actually only $145. With similar model counts to boot.

black panel liner is OP as fuck, surprised every marine painter doesnt use it

>>96371244

>>96371267
they're also the only ones who actually paint their models

why are thousand sons the only ones with flamethrowers

for chaos

>>96371295
With contrast slop chop maybe

>>96371339
Thousand Sons are the only branch of CSM that can take a full unit of flamthrowers because Tzeentch, the God they worship, really likes fire.

I have a huge backlog on my armies that I need to paint. I bought a bunch of sisters off ebay and I enjoy painting them but I get so overwhelmed getting them done. Usually, I get motivated to paint when my friends want to hobby or if we have a crusade going on but last few hang outs I just get burnt out after painting one model.

I also want to try starting Necrons or Eldar but I already got too many armies.

>>96371914

He suffers from the same problem as pic related but you can save pic related quite easily while you can't save Lemartes.

I think they also fucked up Astaroth with the weird action figure pose and Dante also looks kinda bad.
I like Blood Angels but their update fucking sucked.

>>96371967
>>96371920
i like the warsuit

>>96371975
no he doesn't at all
he looks perfectly in scale with other marines whereas that captain looks like his aspect ratio got squished

>>96371727
I keep trying to work up to a tyrannocyte but the little hooks on the carapace keep catching on my rim and I get stuck halfway

>>96371983
please, lemartes looks like he's pooping

>>96371987
trying too hard

>>96371987
I kinda like lemartes but I lold

>>96371987
Straight shitting on the enemies of mankind like he ought to be

>>96371967
I like them too, I just don’t have one I think is painted well.

>>96371967
Nah he's pretty cool, it's a dread that can hold a pistol sideways like a gangbanger. in a percect world hed have grenades and a giant combat knife too

>>96372031
Just buy joytoy assault intercessor already

Anons, should I be cleaning mould lines from each part of the model BEFORE I assemble it or AFTER I assemble it?

>>96372053
yes

>>96372053
before is easier
unless it's a tiny bit that's hard to hold onto

>>96372035
I have a Bandai one already, but want a neat tacticool dread to go with my other dreads

>>96372061
oink-oink

>>96372064
Go back to /v/

>>96372053
Before. After assembly you will end up having bits you can't reach with a knife or file but can still see with your eyes.

>>96372071
oink-oink

Hey say that one more time it's really funny and cool

>>96372080
>not being brainless paypig is bad
Okay piggy

>>96372102
Having no models and hanging out in a thread about building and painting models is pretty retarded thoughbeit

>>96372105
But anon said himself, he isn't interested in models, he is more into JoyToy action figures.

>>96372116
you really are an illiterate retard

>>96372118
Calibrate your butthurt

>>96372116
I said I have a bunch of dreadnoughts and want the cool warsuit to have a combat knife, and also mentioned I have a Bandai marine. Where did you get the idea that I'm not interested in models?

>>96372123
Okay since you're confirming that you're braindead let me spell it out for you little /v/ermin
Anon wanted a knife and grenades for his invictor
Other anon said get an assault marine from joytoy because the knife and grenades that come with them are within scale for the invictor
That help you understand things you mongrel tourist?

>>96372124
>Where did you get the idea that I'm not interested in models?

please stop replying to this troll
he just baits every poster in the thread with shitposts every thread
dude needs to get a life
he has no models, he plays no games, he eats hotpockets in his parents basement and will die a virgin

>>96372130
Why don't you show the class in my post here >>96372061where I said I wasn't interested in miniatures. Because it seems like you're just lashing out in a thread for modelowners at the people who own models.

>>96372116

>>96372129
>Other anon
It was me

>>96372139
Where is the model?

>>96372157
God you /v/ermin are painfully retarded

>>96372136
I had no idea who I was talking to, I was talking about a cool knife for dreads and then it suddenly became about not wanting models and wanting joytoys for some reason. Which I clarified, I do in fact like models, and also action figures. I'm always going to clarify shit for people when I think they've got something mixed up, regardless of whether you know in your heart of hearts that it's definitely the same guy that did X or Y previously in the past

>>96368932 (OP)
>Alt Thread Question
I got 30 Sisters of Silence cheap off ebay to start on an army in anticipation of their big update in HH.
Then recent developments have killed all my enthusiasm and now they all sit in a box in my room, under my bed.
I'll see how I feel about HH whenif they ever get updated.

>>96372053
After you paint it

Anyone know of a nice vibrant blue i could use to paint with an airbrush? Im going to attempt the panel modulation meme. I was almost tempted to try white ink followed by frost heart but I dont know what contrast paints come out like through an airbrush on a flat surface. We all know what they look like on such a surface with a brush

>new Cataphractii Warsmith size suggest refreshed Cataphractii Terminators and thus HH Terminators were same size as the new Indomitus Terminators
>meaning the new size of the Indomitus Termies doesn’t necessarily suggest it’s because of Primaris
As long as the Tactical Squad datasheet is still available you technically don’t have to play Primaris Marines at all if you don’t mind going Terminator heavy.

>>96372300
warsmith is overscaled
art in the new HH book shows cata being eye level with tacticals
new terminators are that big because they're primarischads

>>96372297
Contrast through an airbrush applies like normal translucent airbrush paint provided you don't flood it.

>>96372300
If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck does it really matter if they call it a primaris duck if you know that it's a duck

>>96372297
Vibrant as in very saturated or vibrant as in bright/pastel? Also seconding that other anon, all the contrasts spray fine, they just don't behave like a contrast paint does via brushing

>>96372338
If it behaves like an ink that would be great, don't think i have any translucent paints to try out

>>96372361
Saturated for sure, waa going to use 3 blues and the last one to be very saturated

Are Black Templars a good starter army to get into the hobby?

hypothetically could you use parts of O-scale model railroad buildings for 40k terrain? I know a guy that has a bunch of scrap parts I could get for cheap but idk if the scale works

Asking again for more answers because last thread got heated right after I asked.
Found I like NMM way more than metallics and have a fair bunch of metallic painted shit.
Should I paint over the metallics or eat shit and just strip?

>>96372364
They behave identical to any of the translucent inks
>>96372371
If you want hyper saturated I'd give tallassar blue a shot. It is insanely deep blue, I don't think photos really capture how vibrant it is

>>96372408
Why don't you try actually painting NMM before you go stripping models you've already painted.

>>96372406
Maybe you could.
But do you have a comparison between that scale and something in 40k?

>>96372408
Don't do either. Just leave what you've painted so far and continue painting in the style you prefer. Never ever delete your previous work. You'll be sad one day that you can't see the progression

>>96372405
Yes

>>96372408
Have you ever painted NMM? Post something of yours.

>>96372420
Oh it's because I've done that already and even my amateur ass NMM looks way better than my metallics and TMM attempts and I didn't even need that much time spent on it

>>96372406
0 scale is kinda weird, most guys do ho on the train stuff, so you'd have to be sure the dude you're talking to is an o scale sperg

>>96372405
Painting black and white in the same army is daunting but doable if you crush a bunch of tutorials

>>96372425
It's mostly because I don't do washes well and all the metallics look dirty as shit. And it bothers me specially on characters.
There's a couple I won't touch because they are too done already and have elements I spent a bunch of time on or that I don't think I can redo on NMM at my level.

are the wolf heads from the gloomspite wolves any smaller than the ones from the new SW kits? i wanted to try pic related as a conversion, but the new wolfguard headtakers wolves heads are a bit too big to actually work for this. what about fenrisian wolves?

>>96372426
>>96372436
I also considered Blood Angels and Space Wolves but in the case of the Angels I don't really like their signature unit (Sanguinary Guard) and Space Wolves seem to have waaay too many old, not very good looking units. Black Templars look cool no mater the model.

I'm kitbashing some better death guard without mutations and other such modern rubbish

Anyone know a good source of pre-made bendable cables? I don't want to mess around with greenstuff rollers

>>96372477
Guitar string. But also you can just use a comb as a "roller" for green stuff.

>>96371920
The standard bearer and ursula are fine and only on here for chud reasons

>>96372415
Will do anon, thanks

>>96372477
Guitar/bass strings are probably your best bet. Just note if you get bass strings have an actual wire cutter on hand - they're absolutely thick enough to fucking ruin your sprue clippers.

>>96372477
Guitar strings or Clapton wire for vapes. Not sure which is cheaper but neither are all that much

>>96372477
>I'm kitbashing some better death guard without mutations and other such modern rubbish
Go play loyalists if you want clean models.
Chaos marines are mutated.

>>96369736
BAngels are incredibly insecure and obnoxious. Getting the worse marine update will never not be funny to me.

It's okay just another decade to see if it gets any shitter lmfao.

>>96372476
>Space Wolves seem to have waaay too many old, not very good looking units.
?

>>96369736
Of course. They are vampires wannabees

>>96369736
>I only have bad experiences with BAfags online and IRL, they tend to be obnoxious and cringe as shit even relative to most other marinefags
I've had the complete opposite experience. All of the BA players I've met have been great opponents and generally nice people. All of the retards play UM, BT and IH. I'm sad to say that as an IH player myself.

>>96370175
Death Guard should be like that but poxwalkerslol. To be fair it's a difficult niche to fill in because at the end of the day standing on points wins you the game, but I guess Eldar fit the bill, and probably any vehicle skew army.
>>96370308
Except CKs in Lords of Dread which are one of the most oppressive primary armies in the entire game.

>>96372524
Yeah cool story m8
Now explain why there's squid tentacles on a model that's meant to be all about rot and entropy

Man, i really wish GW went back to that Hakos Baelz crossover event.

>>96372613
Because nurgle.
Just pain heresy era DG if you are so bothered about it.

>>96372619
Excuse me a what why who?
The fucking rat had a collab with gw?

>>96372477
Zinge industries sells flexible resin cables. Stuff like ammo feed lines as well.

What do you listen to when you work on your models? Any recommendations?

>>96372662
Audiobooks
Political news shit
Music, preferably ambient.
Just pick whatever flavour of those you like.

>>96372662
Usually some podcast or music. Been listening to a lot of this podcast called creepcast lately. Last music I listened to while hobbying was an oingo boingo album i forget which.

>>96372620
You're pretty mouthy for someone with such bad opinions

>>96372678
Warp mutations are stock with being a chaos marine.
So if you don't like it just either play loyalist or paint HH marines and say they were trapped in a warp fuckery storm and they are fresh off of the scouring age and not mutated.
But don't pretend chaos mutations don't belong in DG.

>>96372662

Disease can mutate the body. Cancer is cell mutation. Elephantiasis is bodily mutation. This idea is taken to the extreme in many Death Guard models.

>>96372705
So you have nothing.
Ok.
Retard. And I feel mighty projecting coming from that insult, faggot.

>>96372707
It's taken to an extreme because a good bunch of DG are fucking ancient and have had time to accumulate blessings.
It is a design choice I don't particularly like in minis, but it is consistent.

Nurgle isn't just entropy and rot. He is also disease, and no disease is worse than watch as a disease twists your own body form into a parody of human form.

>>96372721
Can't end it, my folder of smug reaction images is on my pc and I'm shitposting while cooking, such a shame

>>96372678
Chaos mutates everything, and the gods give mutations as blessings. And Nurgle's "gifts" and blessings are his diseases that you get to carry and be the host for.
This is established fluff in the setting.

I bet you think Iron Warriors have no mutations either.

>>96372746
>Noooo you see, my chaos army actually doesn't like chaos and has no chaos taint they are just so OP they just use chaos without repercussion!!!!

Whole metaphysics of Chaos are badly written and Chaos is nothing but occasionally pretty grab-bag or random aesthetics which also sometimes clash and dont fit 40k (like birds).
Chaos was created first and foremost for FB and it shows that porting it to 40k without changes was a bad fit.

>>96372758
I'll bite. What changes did chaos it need to be in 40k?

>>96372758
The only wrong thing with chaos is it being an ass pull villain inserted where it doesn't belong and it always being able to say "You might have won, but by my mere presence I have corrupted you and won in the future lmao!"
Retarded and OP, aesthetics are ok

>>96372758
This but unironically.
Chaos is a cancer that was lazily stapled onto 40k during the latter half of Rogue Trader only because GW realized that they could just then sell the same army 2 different people, and it shows to this day.
And since then it has just kept spreading and metastasizing every part of the setting flanderizing it and turning it shittier.

What's the deal with Alpha Primus?

>>96372662

>>96372776

>>96372761
I'd say a wholly different cast of gods would've been a better start. Ofc we can't do that now but in a white room scenario the setting would benefit itself from distancing it from FB. What cast of Gods? Fuck if I know, I am not getting paid to navelgaze on an imageboard that I once loved.
Lacking that I would say that, alternatively, 40k would've benefited from changing identities of the Chaos gods and their design ques. Give them different names, different daemons, maybe even different colour schemes, different design ques. Y'know, similarly to how there are already parallels between Chaos Gods and Eldar Gods, i.e. Khaine = Khorne, Vaul = Vashtorr, but extend that parallel to 40k and Fantasy.
Why is it a bad thing in the first place? Daemons just look lame in 40k. They're wholly rooted in Fantasy and it shows through their designs and sculpts, they were created to be "the most alien" thing within FB but in 40k they just don't read like that when there are actual weirder ayylmaos around. And so in an attempt to rectify that people construct various headcanons like "Daemons are actually so humanlike because humans are so prevalent in 40k!", which is like 'fine' as a copout explanation but I think its far from perfect and does a bit of a disservice to the daemon image.
Whole "Warp connects two settings!" thing is incredibly poorly written and should be either axed or be ripped off as a bandaid and leaned even heavily onto and I much prefer axing it.

>>96372767
>and it always being able to say "You might have won, but by my mere presence I have corrupted you and won in the future lmao!"
>Retarded and OP
I don't think that has happened in any capacity recently, at least to a noticeable degree.
>>96372770
I think it could be made into something more presentable. I personally have hopes for a daemon line refresh, given that they give AoS armies a better, special treatment I actually dont think daemons are getting fully squatted.

What happens when you've spent your money and then later find out which army you -actually- wanted to purchase?

No takebacks...

Just how big is the Saturnine Dread? It's fucking 90€ that shit must be close to Knight size.

>>96372796
You get your new army.
That's what happens.
No one stays at only one army for long.

>>96372802
I spent the money though.

>>96372796
Well I'd start a new army. I'm not poor so I can buy a model kit when I want, it's fine.

>>96372801
Its huge.

how do I get people to paint their models at the LGS?

they've owned armies for years and they're still not painted
excuses are either
>"I don't have time!" (has plenty of time to play videogames)
or
>"I don't like painting!" (neither do I and painting with others fixes this)

then they bitch about the 10vp painting rule and demand it not be used because it's "unfair"

>>96372801

>>96372806
And with time you'll spend more and make possibly 3-4 armies.
Just look for deals, retailer discounts and second hand markets to make it sting less.

>>96372816
Around the height according to minicompare, but the defiler has a lot more going on with the legs and such, it will take a fair bit converting

He is Cawl's attempt at recreating the primarchs. In The Great Work we see into an alternative reality and Cawl there is accompanied by twenty marines instead of one.

>>96372796
That's how I ended up with 3 armies. Only I worked it out after I had fully painted them too.

>>96372796
I started World Eaters as my first army and I'm pretty happy with my choice. No regrets. However I am interested in other armies as well and I will definitely start them as well when I AT LEAST get my 1000 pts of World Eaters finished. Slaughterbound, Kharn, 20 Berzerkers and 9 Eightbound. Probably not meta at all and I'd need a Forgefiend here or a Rhino there but this is what I got now.

>>96372810
You could try organizing a painting day at the LGS - my store owner tried it out and he said it went pretty well. What I usually do is post videos of speedy paint tutorials in the LGS group chat.

>>96372793
You are gen alpha confirmed

Where exactly are the outlandish mutations? Sure, there's a few horns sprouted, but no retarded tentacles everywhere like modern sculpts.

>>96372793
Again, note the total lack of retarded ass tentacles

>>96372731
Yes, duh. That's not what I was talking about

Everyone knows they carry diseases. I'm basically talking about the stupid tentacles and the outlandish rubbish on the modern sculpts as opposed to the obvious cracked armour, pitting, exposed wiring, ad hoc repairs etc.

>>96369535
Here's the truth: The ballet-like flying pose, with just the tip of a unit's fingers touching a towering piece of rock or ruin, only works for slender, graceful units like Eldars or Sisters of Battle.

Bulky, heavy-looking units (like space marines or battle suits) need to stand firmly on their feet, on the ground.

enforce the VP painting rule and throw games so you win entirely on the VP painting rule and if they complain point out all of the GW sources for the VP painting rule.

>>96372923
wdym by "all of the sources"?
I know its in the rules etc, just wanna know what you mean by that

>>96372928
Show it in the rules, show it on tabletop battles, show the GW minimums for a painted army.

Every model should have a base coat, (including base coats on all of the iconography/details), a shade, and techincal stuff on the base. Otherwise, -10 VP

You can even feign being able to compromise and instead say that you'll be fine without the technical on the base.

>>96372476
Space wolves just got the biggest range refresh

>>96372935
to be fair i'm normally fine with the base as long as theres a good reason for it

e.g you're using plain black bases, either fresh ones or painted black, they're game pieces at the end of the day and plain black bases reflects that
but bases that have the basecoat on? -10vp

>>96372889
>>96372893
was talking about you not owning those models you fucking cretin.

please do continue with your melty nomodels.

>>96372943
Exactly. There's a limit to how pissy they can get when it's a hard stated rule that GW is extremely clear on.

getting things sorted because I'll have a few models incomplete because GW doesn't send everything gauged for multiple units, every 5man must have a sword swergeant and no power fist, and all captains must be helmet-less

diving in and out of the hobby every week or so is going much friendlier on my mind rather than grudging along

>>96371060
it's perfectly normal, everybody feels the same. This feeling means that you enjoyed the game.

>>96372893
Of the modern Death Guard marines you only have 1 in the main Plague marine kit, 1 in the Blightlord kit (and another in the completely optional LoC + blightlord kit) and 1 in the Deathshroud kit that have anything tentacle-like, all of which can just be clipped off/sanded down if you don't like them.

I don't understand how it's that far of a leap when the models you posted still have esophageal tendrils wrapping in and out of them. Is it just because you can headcanon those as somehow still part of the suit despite them clearly being organic? Body horror has been part of Nurgle's schtick forever, why is the body mutating into something aberrant that far from what you've shown?

>>96372966
Just pretend you're a stickler for the rules because you've got autism and so if they start bullying you about it you can pull the 'wow you're bullying an autistic guy' card.

>>96372976
that is awful advice lmfao

>>96372976
the best thing is that I actually do, I have a card and everything

the other people sure do act autistic but I dont think they actually do, could be worth considering given the LGS is one of those places that advertises itself as a "safe space"

you need to control your environment around you without being autistic.

if they are retarded just start saying stupid shit to piss them off.
start calling it gay tide or at the end of each turn add 100 imaginary VP because you have a painted army and they don't.

If you win, just say its a painting issue, if you lose, just say it didn't count because they can't paint for shit.

Or just find people who like painting, we do exist.

Bunch of Kill Team enthusiasts at the more popping "local" that's about 40 mins from me. Some people that get together for friendlies on occasion, but also TCG is the majority of their business so it's mostly FNM stuff going on. The other popping one 40 mins in the other direction is new and nice but doesn't have the usual 15% off new stuff which is kind of lame, have yet to do a wargame event there but the crowd seems good.

The local in my actual town is a musty-smelling fucking ghost town and nobody ever really goes there, not sure if it has a previous bad rep or what but I literally never see anyone there like ever. Went in like a week ago to look for a model in the afternoon and it was just the cashier sitting there watching YouTube videos.

There's another one like 20ish minutes from me, but it's really small and mostly just does TCG stuff and just has a part of the wall with some dusty ass old kits, which is sorta interesting sometimes but clearly not their focus. Got a smashed up box of Mk4 heresy marines for a big discount from there and built em into 20 intercessors for my Black Templars for shits and giggles. They have some old KT box sets I might snag for the terrain at some point, too.

I'm very lucky to live in a place that has a lot of LGS's with variety, but honestly I mostly enjoy home games knocking back beers with the bros.

Waiting on assault terminator refresh to get maybe 10 more

Are any of the little chaos knights good for anti tank/monster? I might want to expand my CSMs options

>>96373006
30k ones look fucking terrible like they're all about to fall over forwards

>>96372971
Considering these dogshit arguments almost always go the exact same way down to the phrases used on both sides it's entirely possible

Canoptek Spyders are qt, will include one as my overlords pet dog that got bioe'd.

>>96372993
to be fair I dont even think they've heard of the term greytide before

I think the best course of action is just adding the vp at the end and if they bitch just tell them that's in the rules and i'm playing by the rules
if they call the rule dumb and shpuldn't be played i'll just counter with "the entire edition is dumb yet you play it every week"

>>96373021
They don't, I have a squad of those

>>96373016
This is whats going to take the longest. Doing one of these guys was a pain, I had to carve the pure plastic around his inner leg and codpiece into the proper shapes of the normal terminator bits.

I had to sculpt. Which deterred me from doing the other 9 right away. Saving this BS for last.

>>96373024
Nice.
Shame they are so fucking expensive to buy

>Last week of the august collage next week
How are your entries coming along? How many do you think we'll get this month?

Still think the ArtelW Nightbringer is better, but honestly, I hate the Nightbringer, it looks like a AOS/Fantasy model in 40k. Honestly, it's just straight up "Necrons are undead with magic death gods who look like the Grim Reaper" rather than being a robot race.

>>96371920
Putting together and painting the Eightbound are part of what made me end up selling my World Eaters and starting over with Death Guard. Between them and the Jackals I felt like there weren't enough actual kits in the army, let alone ones that actually embodied the ultraviolence of Khorne. The Goremongers are a step back in the right direction but man the army is lacking so hard, having like no other unique kits really hurts WE. Even the Emperor's Children had stuff right out the gate that were super fitting and interesting, even if they don't have much either.

Guys hear me out... What if I converted these bitches into a defiler somehow. Combine the araknae and dread.

>>96373027
They do, you owning them means nothing

>>96373035
Skill issue
Nightbringer is the best shard in either resin or plastic

>>96373039
Just tilt them back/base them differently, skill issue.

>>96373039
Means I personally know how they look outside a photo, unlike you.

>>96373035
It's one of the problems with necrons and ctan, they did a fucking piss poor job of rationalising why they look how they look
whoever oversaw the making of necrons as a faction winged it, badly, and then tried to cover his ass with "they're uh... mysterious, yes"

>>96373039
>>96373021
False. They have weight to them and look like they are going to jump

>>96373007
Eh, i'm used to the accent, although morning Bae always sounds good
I wonder how some word bearers would react if they stumbled upon some dark age recordings of the "avatar of chaos"

>>96373034
I'm doing my best to finish mine in time, 9 days should be enough considering I have next week off work

>>96373049
I personally love them being in the ground because it gives you the image that they can either be running to melee, ready to jump or just landed, it's ambiguous and more neutral than the ballerina poses

>>96373034
all done with a back up option even

>>96373044
Doesn't fix the problem with their stances
>>96373047
I've seen them in person, they look like shit, not my fault you have post purchase rationalization
>>96373049
No it doesn't, they look like their legs are buckling

>>96373038
how about you simply take a defiler and improve it with spare bits from a chaos knight, or helbrute or forgefiend?

>>96373048
>whoever oversaw the making of necrons as a faction winged it, badly, and then tried to cover his ass with "they're uh... mysterious, yes"
This but Chaos

>>96373048
One of the annoying things about Necrons just turning into straight up Tomb Kings painted grey, is that they now aesthetically clash with Thousand Sons.

>>96373062
Cope.
I bought them specifically because of the grounded poses.
Keep loving your fatty ballerinas

Guys. This bitch is bigger than a Armiger from knights codex.

>>96373048
Ctan are great and you are bitter

>>96373065
>is that they now aesthetically clash with Thousand Sons.
No they dont, they BARELY have any egyptian paraphernalia in either their bits or their colour scheme.

>>96373071
NTA but nah, C'tan are very poorly executed and even a GW writer himself said as much. They have always been a wet fart and that is why they got Pokeball'd

>>96373065
Not at all.

>>96373062
>Doesn't fix the stances
So just move the legs around, you fucking cockroach

>>96373065
>just turning into grey tomb kings
They've been dipping their toes in the aesthetic since release though. But it has got worse over the years

>>96373027
Nice can I see them

>>96373080
You can't without chopping them up lmao, the 30k range is monopose as all shit

>>96373069
I think it would be so fucking cool to freehand stuff on the pauldrons but I feel like this model would be useless since there's no real relevant analogue in 40k outside of trying to run it as a knight somehow

>>96373087
>You can't without chopping them up
Putting in effort to do things the way you want? In this hobby? It's more likely than you think.

>>96373071
No, ctan are shit and I am better than ignoring or missing the fact their looks and fluff are bullshit from start to end.

>>96373081
Tomb Kings are literally cooler than faceless robots though. Plus they wrote lore in so you can play AI controlled Necrons that are more in line with the old aesthestic.

>>96373066
>Cope cope cope I bought them because they look bad!!!
This isn't the own you thought it was

Are we going to get any major update to Tau?
It doesn't make any sense why they are still using several hundred year old technology, when we know Tau tech advances rapidly fast.
Like it's been over 200 fucking years, how in fuck is the XV22 still a rare early production prototype?

Thats kind of the point

>>96373101
I hope for their sake they get something that looks halfway decent soon, every model I see of theirs looks like the model equivalent of a 2020s hyper-corporate rebrand logo.

>>96373106
>Resculpt them
Just make a cut at the legs and then move them into the place you want them. Are you retarded?

>>96373094
Run three of these as knights and use the saturnine turret bits to make other weapons for it. could be a cool autocannon variant and whatnot.

>>96373094
>Putting in effort to do things the way you want? In this hobby?
Nice try not what we were talking about.
If you have to cut and convert the model to make it look good then the base model doesn't look good, simple as

>>96373112
>reposition them
Can you show me an example? I am curious if people reposition these models and look convincing.

>>96373101
Problem of it being a game. Tau are already OP as fuck and advancing them means a game wouldn't even be played by a Tau army on the board, several kilometers away with AI drones taking pot shots at models.
Maybe that is how Tau can be played in 11th edition. The player has to sit across the street with a gel ball blaster and try shoot the enemy army on every turn.

>>96373108

Spoken like somebody who's never worked with 30k models in his life
And again, if you're having to convert the model to make the pose not retarded you're admitting I'm right

okay, I managed to secure my Drukhari boats.
All I had to do was put magnets on top of the flight stands, base over them with basing materials, then put magnets underneath that sit above the magnetic tray. It's good enough.

nah that''s just how MEQ react when they learn they've got to go against biovores

>>96373133
>They're SUPPOSED to look bad
No? The rason why they are bucklingvis because of the forces involved in useing a jump pack

>>96373143
That's not how that works at all

>>96373108
okay thats pretty good

>>96373116
The problem is that I don't want to play knights.

>>96373121
I think the legs look fine, it's a matter of opinion. If you don't like the look of the legs it takes 2 whole minutes to cut them and reposition them.

>>96373122
I don't personally have this kit so I can't show you an example of mine, but I'm sure it would take barely any effort to just repose the legs how you want. If they're the same as the tactical marines then just glue the bottom half into the top half, slice the legs and just move them on that little ball torso bit to wherever you want them to go.

>>96373127
>>96373133
The copium of multiposting as hard as you can is embarrassing, but sure, one last time I'll bite. I moved some of the legs on my intercessors with the method I mentioned above. The bottom half of the marine is basically a ball with the two legs sticking out from it. Glue in first, then slice and reposition, it isn't difficult. If it's really that difficult for you then I think you have some sort of motor skills deficiency or cataracts or something. Anyways, I'm done responding to a literal chimp who can't accept that sometimes the models don't look how you'd like them to and you have to put in work to change them if you don't like them.

>>96373130
That's the nu-biovore.

>>96373153
Yes, and?

>>96373157
It's dogshit.

>The bottom half of the marine is basically a ball with the two legs sticking out from it. Glue in first, then slice and reposition

Dawn of War 1 had a black inquistor in like 2005, why do people shid and fard their pants over black people in 40k now?

I convert other models and I just took a look at assembly videos. It would be a nightmare to assemble and cut them up. The joints would require complex cuts to get around the knee plate portrusions and even then, half of the available 30k models you want to lateral cut the middle of the plates in the legs (to spin them a little) would be horribly hard to do. They have markings all along their plates that would look weird.

There's no way to reposition the legs.

>>96373170
>>96373181
>>96373194
lol?

>>96373189
Oh sweetie you think we're talking about the old squatty models and not the new ones in the image that started this conversation

>>96373168

Either way there is nothing stopping you from clipping the legs and moving them. Sorry you were born learning with an iPad and have zero imagination and think that hobby items in a box must come delivered from James Workshop himself in exactly the position you would personally prefer.

>>96373202
get the wings printed and paint the mask marble white

>>96373207
You lost because you haven't touched a kit in over a decade apparently and immediately resort to ad hominem, deflection, and shifting goalposts
Typical
Well thanks for conceding the point

>>96373207
i just explained
>>96373195
look at the way the legs and crap looks, they've all got orientation marks in the form of lined dots, or otherwise lines in the legplates that wouldn't align if you "cut and twist"

mark6 marines maybe, but that's pushing it a little

>>96373213
Ignore him, he's seething over being wrong and coming up with any cope he can to save face

>>96373209
zamn that looks good, especially the wings... its crazy how horrific the little fins they put on the jump pack are. like I want to meet whoever made this and break his fingers. and knowing the arrogance of artists this guy is probably proud of his horrid work

>>96373207
>Clipping
And sawing, and greenstuff sculpting to fill gaps and replace destroyed under armor
All just to make a kit you're already paying a premium for look like it's not falling down

>>96373212
>Ad hominem, deflection, and shifting goalposts
Good work confirming that you don't understand any of these terms and samefagging up the thread, enjoy hobbying with no joy or creativity and bitching about kits not being the way you want

>>96373151
You sure do talk to yourself a lot.

>>96373216
they don't really need to come at the exclusion of one another

I think the sanguinary guard lost their wings simply because dante got updated faithfully, without wings, so his own guard couldn't be made with fancier shit

The fact that Sanguinor and Astorath have the winged jump pack make that theory really plausible. I mean, they absolutely can but deliberately chose not to.

Not an argument and doesn't change the fact that the new design is dogshit.
