Thread question:
What are your thoughts and or feelings on the warhammer 40k fandom outside of this website?

This thread will be filled with video recordings of fear, terror, horror and atrocity as anons across the world take up arms and shoot up their local 10th edition events and tournaments. GW will be forced to make the game more sovlful as a result.

should I field 20x necron warriors and a rez orb overlord?
or
the deciever?

I already have 1 unit of 20x warriors and an overlord with rez orb (and 2 monoliths)

>>96463215 (OP)
>What are your thoughts and or feelings on the warhammer 40k fandom outside of this website?
In general, the fanbase is filled with misconceptions and fanon more like folklore.

>>96463215 (OP)
>TQ
It's both good and bad.
It's definetly much better than this place, but at the same time it is also more cringy and also more retarded.
Like I genuinely don't like it when I see people talking about 40k who clearly don't understand it and don't even know surface level fluff. But I recognize that's just my autism being triggered so I've learned to ignore it.

>>96463215 (OP)
>tq
no idea, 4chan is the only social media which I use

What the fuck is "T-Sports" and why am I seeing the word around the place a lot now.

>>96463239
It's a shitpost.
Ignore it.

>>96463239
An adequate description of what 40k has become

>>96463239
Think e sports but for tabletop games.
It also means that pickup is gonna get a lot more waacfag than usual.

>>96463239
Trans sports.

Is it possible to make an Ancient look good or is it just relegated to being "guy w/ banner" and no one expects more of them than that?
I grabbed a primaris intercessor body and gave a him a banner but it just feels boring even for primaris.

>>96463215 (OP)
>What are your thoughts and or feelings on the warhammer 40k fandom outside of this website?
I dont even think about it to be honest, between you lads and IRL mates I get all the 40k talk I need

>>96463266
make the banner cool dummy

>>96463246
>>96463247
You know we have a word for that already.

Tournament.

It's called tournament play.

>>96463239
You're the shitposter asking so you can shitpost more

>>96463243
I want my hobby to improve, damn it. I want the days of 40k being a WARGAME back, focused on narrative experiences. When the tabletop reflected the narrative (with the exception of marines being weaker than they're depicted in BL slop). When the most exciting thing to discuss was the latest Imperial Armour volumes fluff, not some dumbass metawatch! COMPFAGS RUINED THIS HOBBY, AND THEY MUST BE BELITTLED AT EVERY AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITY. The bullshit started in 5th, and it has steadily gotten worse until now the game is a bunch of l-shapee ruins and squatting on pie plate objectives with every model being an infantry model ruleswise, even tanks. Compfags did this. They deserve to be killed.

>>96463266
Banners are the default thing, but it can be anything, you could have a huge torch, a relic being held up, trophies made from fallen monsters, etc.

To be fair the primaris ancient is just an intercessor with a banner and like laurels on his leg. It's not great.

>>96463280
Calm down its just a game

>>96460254
>Bottom left of your pic is the loosest, shittiest armbinder attempt I've ever seen.
gropey is that you?

>>96463280
Even fucking NARRATIVE PLAY, FUCKING NARRARIVE PLAY, is reduced to the same shit as competitive play. It's played the exact same way, except that your opponents aren't (usually) waacfags and an rpg-lite system is tacked on while you USE THE SAME FUCKING MISSIONS AND CORE GAMEPLAY DESIGNED AROUND COMPETITIVE PLAY, L-SHAPED RUINS AND SQUATTING ON PIE PLATES. FUCK.

IT'S ALL FUCKED UP. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BARGE INTO WARHAMMER WORLD, FORCE THEIR WAY TO THE RULES DESIGN DEPARTMENT, KILL EVERYONE INSIDE AND START FROM SCRATCH.

>>96463273
I did get a cool banner modeled by some guy named red warden, it looks cool and will look better painted for sure.
>>96463282
>To be fair the primaris ancient is just an intercessor with a banner and like laurels on his leg.
Makes me glad i didn't spend the money to buy the official model.
Maybe I'll try to paint campaign marks or something.

>>96463280
>reflected the narrative (with the exception of marines being weaker than they're depicted in BL slop)
It's the BLslop that exalts marines above their weight class through larger-than-life characters.
A marine sarge can very feasibly and even easily job to a nob/ogryn/immortal/genestealer/herald of khorne/etc.

>>96463280
If people are not intersted in narrative play, why would you want them to play it?

This shit is a gift in disguise, people are showing you how little they care about the same things as you. Good. They filtered themselves for you.

Find people who have the same values as you and stick to them.
You cannot make people care.

The only real complaint is about the miniatures, and even then 3rd party is slowly getting better and better.

>>96463285
Not the anon but this mentality doesn’t make sense.
>just stop caring about what you care about and let it go to the dirt
Why not instead encourage people to not resemble the rot they complain about?

>>96463293
I'm going to kill you.

>>96463293
>You cannot make people care.
You absolutely can, but it takes time

>>96463295
Not what I meant. I also want the game to get better but wishing death on people over a game is a little excessive.

>>96463293
See >>96463289. Modern narrative play is tainted. And even narrative minded players won't dare touch an edition that isn't 10th . It's all FUCKED. The ONLY solution is to KILL THE FUCKING COMPFAGS POISONING THIS HOBBY.

>>96463302
I reread my post and that guy’s posts and yeah I think you’re right he is being very extreme and I don’t really like it.

>>96463297
I don't give a dimmadamn.
>>96463300
People can pretend to care, or follow you when they think you're the winning party, but they won't care.

Very few people actually care, you can introduce them to think but truth is they always cared, they simply weren't aware of the specific things you're showing them.

>>96463304
Just get friends/likeminded people and make your own rules, even if they're just mostly an old edition, doesn't matter as long as these are the rules that you guys enjoy.

Worthless TQ. I have better one: What your favorite 40k art in the past 12 month

>>96463317
I'm not sure there's an artwork I liked in the past 12 years, brother.

>>96463317
Had to think of something sorry.
What really makes a good TQ anyways?

>>96463291
False.
If you don't codexes or novels, then shut your bitch mouth.
It's codex lore that has marines bunching way above their weight class. In BL content, marines are much easily killed. Contrast marine vs GSC in the codexes vs the novel featuring marines vs GSC where a marine leader gets killed unceremoniously by a sniper shot.

Please post models

>>96463312
No. That's for cowards. The system is broken. The only solution is to fix it, by force. A takeover. Then meld together the rules design of Andy Chambers and the creative direction of Alan Bligh. If this world doesn't want to see things your way, force them to. They won't know what they truly desire until you shove it down their greasy fucking throats.

People accept this shit, let them have this shit.
If nobody sells gold I'll find my own gold.

The world doesn't need me, I don't need the world.

Being a genestealer cultist sucks. If I were iseakied into 40k, middle of recruitment into a human army. I would almost certainly die. However, with the Imperium and Tau, decades of miraculous survival would grant me renown, and eventually, I would retire. Miraculous survival with Chaos could see me gain immeasurable personal power and near immortality for great victory. What awaits a gene-stealer who not just survives but excels, Tyranids would discard the greatest human tactician and single combatant, you could kill all the Custodese personally and you wouldn't even get a thank you.

primaris marine fans are the slave caste of GW

>>96463344
He didn't want what you offered, deal with it.

What's up with people like you? People ask for a thing, you suggest something else and then you get pissy about people not wanting it, I'm puzzled, man.

Every codex fluff is like that.
A termie getting oneshot by a genestealer on a good ambush is a 40k gold standard since Space Hulk.
>In BL content, marines are much easily killed
Definitely not on the average for a BL novel.

>>96463330
I like Terminators, these guys did good in their first game

>>96463293
/fitlit/ was too good for this world and I miss it every day

>>96463344
I love kitbashing but sometimes you just want the base model because you like it. Besides, if you're doing a founding chapter they'll never be /yourdudes/ anyways

>>96463359
nostalgia is fine but objectively primaris models look way better than the old dwarf marines

>>96463354
>Being a genestealer cultist sucks
It really doesn't suck that much. Your soul is at least secure from the Warp assuming Tyranids arrive, since its gonna get just smothered by the Shadow into nothingness which is a win compared to being a prey item for daemon-forms like the rest of imperial citizens.
>Tyranids would discard the greatest human tactician and single combatant, you could kill all the Custodese personally and you wouldn't even get a thank you
Not quite
>"confirmation has been cross-referenced from six separate battle fronts in the Taurensi System. There can be little doubt as to the truth of this strange phenomenon. Genestealer Cult forces continue to operate, unmolested, alongside extant Tyranid swarms, and have even been seen taking to the void alongside their bio-ships in bulk freighters and stolen frigates. Why do the xenos not simply devour their benighted worshippers as one would expect? Are they being tolerated, even encouraged as apostles? Exploited as just another weapon in the Hive Mind's arsenal? Or are they perhaps symbiotes, kept around until such time as their ability to provide nourishment outweights their utility as combat assets?"
Nid+GSC cooperation has become even more common since this info, too.
>Miraculous survival with Chaos could see me gain immeasurable personal power and near immortality for great victory
I mean, I think you're sugarcoating this: ascending to Daemonhood is literally growing your own cancerous soul-clone that slowly replaces and shoves you out of your body.
At least that is the sole account of what we have in regards to becoming a DP, even if its from BL.

>>96463381
Only because of better proportions. Not much else. HH already proved that all marines needed was better proportions.

Good morning, gentlemen.
What're we working on today? I got this guy finished up last night.

>>96463364
>A termie getting oneshot by a genestealer on a good ambush is a 40k gold standard since Space Hulk.
That's one off lines in a codex to hype a unit or whatever.
In narrative stories in codexes or campaign books, marines kill a fuckton of troops and monsters. The 5th ed era codexes. The Pariah Nexus lore. etc.

>Definitely not on the average for a BL novel.
On average. Novels have Marines getting utterly fucked sideways. War of Secrets, for example. The Silent King novel is another.

You need to do more reading.

>>96463381
>my tastes are objective

Should I build my DE boats with Dark Lances or Disintegrators?

>>96463323
I'd suggest discussing about /yourdudes/, kitbash or campaigns. It's better than digging through reddit or discord's safespace

>>96463396
I am a fool, a buffoon even. I didn't realize there was already a post models post >>96463330

Looking good demonanon. Does that model have 40k rules? I know most demons are also AOS stuff but I've never seen this one.

>>96463397
>That's one off lines in a codex to hype a unit or whatever.
No its literally the cover and core gameplay loop of the game in question. Like, basically the first 40k game even
>In narrative stories in codexes
In narrative stories within marine codices *
>or campaign books
I implore you to give an actual campaign book like Anphelion Project a try
Marines aren't demigods anon, just highly advanced soldiers needed to meet measure of other factions which have their own marine-equivalents. That's the sole reason why MEQ is even a term

>>96463406
Use which ever looks cooler.
Nobody can tell xeno guns apart from each other anyway.

>>96463390
>Your soul is at least secure from the Warp assuming Tyranids arrive, since its gonna get just smothered by the Shadow into nothingness which is a win compared to being a prey item for daemon-forms like the rest of imperial citizens.
The Shadow in the Warp doesn't stop souls from entering the Warp.
For example, Aeldari souls of those killed on Duriel by the Tyranids were devoured by Slaanesh, who brushed the Hivemind aside to eat them.
Also, Hive Fleet Kraken ships have fragments of Aeldari souls clinging to them, evidence of their murder of Aeldari lives
>Nid+GSC cooperation has become even more common since this info, too.
You ignored the part of the text that says that speculates the Tyranids don't attack the GSC ships because of damage from Warpstorm affecting the Tyranids. Or how the Tyranids view these GSC following them as extra food to use whenever they are in a pinch.
>I mean, I think you're sugarcoating this: ascending to Daemonhood is literally growing your own cancerous soul-clone that slowly replaces and shoves you out of your body.
Beyond daemonhood, a powerful Chaos servant to extend his life indefinitely. sorcerers can reverse the aging process or possess new bodies.

>>96463420
This trailer was shitty.

>>96463420
>No its literally the cover and core gameplay loop of the game in question. Like, basically the first 40k game even
Gameplay =/= lore
Lore says that Eldrad can break titans with his mind. Gameplay, he is a wuss.
>In narrative stories within marine codices *
And outside them in campaign books. The Pariah Nexus is not a marine codex. Read how the Black Templars tore a straight line through Necron legions and ships straight to the center of the Nexus.
>I implore you to give an actual campaign book like Anphelion Project a try
We are discussing BL vs GW. FW needs not apply.
The point is that GW studio hypes Marines more than BL does. In BL droplike flies.

>>96463409
It's a counts-as for this thing. The kit is so unbelievably shit that I just made my own out of an AoS kit that costs twice as much lmao
Same base and similar silhouette so it's a good fit

>>96463435
Is it a throne? A chariot? A motorbike?

>>96463423
>You ignored the part of the text that says that speculates the Tyranids don't attack the GSC ships because of damage from Warpstorm affecting the Tyranids.
Huh? If you mean picrelated - which is what I quoted - I haven't seen a continuation of it, so please do post it.
>The Shadow in the Warp doesn't stop souls from entering the Warp.
Kronos leeching powers like Soul Hunger and the such are merely deeper levels of Shadow, so it does at X or Y concentration and discretion of the groupthink, either passively but far more likely actively. Either way having capacity to do so.

>>96463330
Nothing new to post but a while back a couple anons were asking me about my desert bases so I put together a quick tutorial if anyones interested

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/8wocrwoc/aethon-shaan-master-of-shadows/
Has any character ever been cucked this disgracefully before? Usually they at least let them die in a blaze of glory or something.

>>96463431
>GW studio hypes Marines more than BL does. In BL droplike flies.
They drop like flies at the discretion of the writer either way, in no way their lore status is more special than other faction that has a codex.

That's not universal. Some Tyranids eat souls, but the majority of the time, souls of people dying to nids go into the Warp like everything else.

The hip bones still look horrible and don't make sense unless you picture them as mini-terminators with nuggets inside instead of actual suits of armor.
Like, only marines with full on four cybernetic limbs can wear those by idk, detaching the limbs modular-style and eing shoved inside.
Thats the only way I can make sense of those ball jointed hips.

>>96463452

... you're gonna post the bit about the Slaanesh or not? I am curious. Because the thing I cropped is the end of it, or at least what I could find.
>but the majority of the time, souls of people dying to nids go into the Warp like everything else.
I mean yeah we're entering the territory of metaphyiscal navelgazing but I really doubt that is much possible for an unshielded HUMAN soul to escape intact because Shadow already can be choking enough to fuck up people and cause psykers to self-combust, even the tech (and Wraithbone if Iyanna's novels anything to go by) is affected. Eldar souls might have an advantage due to being stronger/brighter and more concentrated but a regular human? And especially a hybrid (which logically would have even less of a tangible soul, most of it invested in Broodmind)? Don't think they'd cut it.

>>96463480
>I'm here for a conversation you're not providing and apparently
You're here for a retarded conversation to waste time because you have nothing else to do.

>The same could not be said for the aftermath. His waystone glowed, then shattered. He was pulled from this world.

There, ahead of him, he saw the future of his race.

Ohh its BLslop and not codices, gotcha. I mean I don't mean that disparagingly towards you in particular, but I shall take the presented info with a grain of salt because I know that if actual codex writers struggle to make Warp metaphysics consistent then I can trust BL authors even less.
>Pylons don't stop souls from entering the Warp and they completely shut off the Warp from real space.
Again, doesn't make a lick of sense because of how they interact with the souls that haven't left bodies yet.

>>96463425

So were pretending DoW1 is bad now? Alright.

>>96463526
It was meant to compete with WoW.

I'm gonna be honest I don't get why someone wants realistic graphics when the game isn't even gonna attempt to be realistic.

I think it's ridiculous when a game has 4k hair physics and visibly expanding skin pores when the gameplay is the same basic shit I've seen a thousand times.
But I get it, spectacle sells; you don't need to be good or try in order to see fancy graphics.

TL;DR: cartoony visuals are good on a cartoony game.

>>96463561
When the fuck did I say that? Dawn of War is quite good, it's just that I expect an RTS vidya game to be more streamlined and game-y than the mainline tabletop game it's based on, anon. I expect that to play more like a wargame and less like a video game. 20 years ago, the idea was that you played tabletop games for granularity and didn't lovingly assemble and paint an army and terrain just to play a slower version of a streamlined video game.

One apparently.

over the weekend I bought a Warhammer starter set that turned out to be missing the Captain and Tyranid Prime sprue, and in it's place had a second Psycophage.

I emailed GW customer support about it on Sunday, they say they respond with in three business days, it's is now 1:30 PM Wednesday in Britain. Still nothing

>>96463549
Maybe. But at least we didn't run into pic related back in the day.

>>96463551
Yes, I like playing warGAMES, anon, I just personally feel that a game that requires the time investment 40k has just to start playing at all (as it is a tabletop miniatures game) should have more granularity than an RTS video game designed to be streamlined for the mass market of PC gamers.

>>96463607

Yeah that's cuckshit in 40k. Name one other character done that dirty.
All that because people mocked Shrike's model.

>>96463612

Yet.

>>96463657

He stepped away from his role as admiral of Iyanden to be a corsair again

>>96463636
The scientific name for the most famous type of mantis shrimp, generally sporting bright oranges blues and greens, is Odontodactylus ("tooth finger") scyllarus, taking its name from the mythological greek monster scylla, who preyed on ships that tried to get around another sea monster which formed a great vortex in on strait of the mediterranean sea.

>>96463625
It's a common misconception that tournament play, casual play, and narrative play are segregated and don't affect one another. The reality is that tournament play informs casual play, which then informs narrative play.

Everything wrong with 40k can be traced back to the compfags.

>compfags complain about wanting to have all rules options be in the kit
>gw gets rid of the bitz store in the 2000s and then slowly gets rid of all the unit options that weren't included in the kit in subsequent editions
>compfags whine and complain about AT weapons designed to one-shot tanks killing their tanks within 100m
>gw introduces hull points
>compfags complain about their then-OP superheavies not being fieldable outside of apocalypse
>gw releases escalation and then eventually makes an entire faction of superheavies (knights)
>compfags then complain about superheavies being OP as shit outside of apocalypse (who could have predicted)
>8th edition makes vehicles into big infantry models, changes how toughness and strength work so that lasguns can hurt T10 models
>marine compfags complain about weapon loadouts not being streamlined and same-y to be "optimized"
>GW introduces the primaris line of space marines featuring units with the same loadouts, no mixed weapon types
>compfags complain about wargear adding too much unpredictability to play
>GW removes wargear costs in 10th so every unit can now be assumed to be using the strongest wargear options for tourney math hammer purposes
>compfags complain about being shot off the table if they don't get first turn in 8th and 9th (this one is valid desu) but want the game to remain just as lethal
>gw normalizes making the entire board consist of L-shaped LOS blocking terrain to prevent this, doesn't lower the lethality

Lately compfags have started advocating transparent terrain, so GW will probably find a way to normalize that within the ruleset itself in the future, affecting casual play and narrative play. Pic related

LotR SBG is a far better ruleset/game than 40k and the warddexes had great rules that were only a "problem" because other rules writers were shit.

>>96463636
looking good champ

>he rocks up to the gaming table trying to play build option pink as build option green

I don't think so, bozo.

>>96463706
At least half of these can be explained by trying to sell more kits
Super heavies in standard game? Sell kits
Knight faction? Sell kits.
Only options in the kit? Sell kits.
Remove options/streamline? Make cheaper kits, sell more kits.
Primaris? Sell more kits.
Remove wargear/cost? Less thinking, more kit buying.

The whole comp/shrimpification of 40k is a product of this: Selling. More. Kits.

If you say something true followed by something false, people don't care that you were right on half.

>>96463706
The first point is because of Chapterhouse.
Chapterhouse argued that they can infringe on the IP and sell models if the models don't come with that option and so to not have 40k become open domain they sent everything to legends and made it a rule that boxes had to contain all the options and units without dedicated models were removed

>>96463716
>painting models in the same category as the 'novels'

>>96463733

I wish I was trolling. I wish I was happy with the state of this hobby. But I'm not. And the only thing I can do now is spread awareness of my plight, in the hopes that perhaps one day the hobby will heal, and things will get better.

Is it wrong to be passionate about what one loves?

@96463760
Lol, lmao

>>96463731
The Chapterhouse thing was that GW couldn't claim copyright for models they didn't actually make. GW killing bits was a loosely related but still different issue where Kirby (who will face judgement before God for all his evil deeds) hated 3rd party bits sellers and called them "leeches" and would rather provide a worse product than have other people benefit from "their IP".

Not great to use with paint, better to just have a fan nearby to help move the water and evaporate it though i guess a hairdryer running without the heater would function the same.
The heat is good for drying washes and base pastes quickly and I one for those constantly as I can just get it all done in minutes rather than waiting for both to dry naturally and its a base so anything going slightly wrong doesnt matter.
They are also really useful for resin minis and bending into place but that wont work with plastic minis

How exactly does Necron reanimation protocols work in lore?

How much of a necron needs to be destroyed before they can no longer operate?

>>96463918
Looks fine for first models, anon. Some advice I'd give if you're set on contrast paints is to apply a zenithal highlight after priming a darker color. Really helps the model stand out as opposed to just contrasting over straight white.

>>96463965
No, gross

>>96463735
army painter's warpaints dry way too fast maybe they would work for you

>>96463965
models and playing the game makes you primary. don't @ me about your 100 book BL collection.

>>96463968
I actually primed black and then drybrushed grey, then white. I probably just grossly misunderstood the best way to apply the drybrushing, you can see the two models that don't have contrast paint yet on them in the back

>>96463801
Thank you!
>>96463981
Thank you as well!

>>96463990
they look fine for a contrast paint job

Reminder that you're in this hobby for the sake of building and painting minis, the game is too shit for you to get into this otherwise.

All you need are models
Don't even have to be official

>>96463650
Imagine if the Ministorum were a playable faction.

>>96463990
Ah, I see. Looks like you just need more practice then. Your goal with the zenithal is to effectively create your recesses and highlights before you apply colors, whereas from what I can see your model looks like mostly highlights after you're done dry brushing. You'll get better at it as you go. I'd try to have your recesses more pronounced next time.
Stole some random picture for reference of what I'm talking about. You should have clear dark spots and light spots for where your light source is hitting the model.

>>96464037

>>96463965
If you got into 40k via anything other than miniatures and codexes then you're a secondary.

>>96464067
The fact that beating it to Warhammer still does not grant me the position of a primary is insane, its unfair!

>>96464056
how does it feel to have friends anon?

xenology implies a group of eldar* engineered the ethereal caste and kickstarted the development of the tau as an interstellar species

we have random artworks of tau fighting eldar with no specific backstory attached, both craftworlders, dark eldar and harlequins

eldrad has a quote where he sees them as young and naive but also as having the potential to grow past them because their philosophy is solid

no other significant interaction

The Necrons own codex says that their chances of conquering the galaxy without the Pariah Nexus plan are virtually nonexistent due to their madness and infighting.
And the Pariah Nexus plan was derailed after Vashtorr fucked over the Silent King.
The Necrons' prospects are grim.

Most Kroot, according to their new lore genuinely believe in the Greater Good and are utterly loyal to the T'au

>>96464228
>It comes from the 6th ED codex originally
The 6th ed codex was colored, the non colored artwork is older.

You're trying to tell me the artwork represents that event before the event was written and it being colored to show a different subfaction in the codex where that lore is written is indication the artwork does indeed represent that event.

>>96464260
The T'au didn't lose anything, though.

Is he really just the ENTER character

Was the Big E stronger than any eldar war in heaven psykers before he was placed on the Golden Throne? I know he supposedly beat up the largest shard of the Void Dragon c'tan in the Middle Ages using a spear so that suggests the answer is yes?

>>96464265
>losses amongst the tau's vassal races are substantial
I forgot that they are communists and don't care when satellites get brutally slaughtered in the name of their party slogan

>>96464275
The meme is wrong, and whoever drew it needs to be tortured for their ignorance. The Emperor imprisoned a shard of the void dragon, whereas the necrons split the original c'tan into those shards and then imprisoned them as easily as Ash traps Pokémon.

>>96464150
Such a gorgeous model anon, I really enjoy coming here and seeing your stuff. Maybe one day we can be best of friends.

>>96464275
Isn't it stated the Emperor barely escaped with his life too?

>>96464289
It wasn't easy for the necrons, but it was specifically a shard with half of the void dragon's power that was created when a blackstone fortress split it in two. A modern necron dynasty would get clapped by a ctan shard that large

>>96464296
Not sure but that would make sense. Defeating a shard with half the power of an ancient ctan is insane, it has to be one of the emperor's most incredible feats

>>96464289
>necrons split the original c'tan into those shards
yeah I never quite understood that. given that ctan are like physical anti warp entities, shouldn't they die when split up? I mean there is no immaterial quality to them, right? how does a broken entity still wield power?

>>96464274
Apparenlty he couldn't lead any unit. Weird.

>>96464300
They didn't have physical bodies or sentience originally, they were this sort of star parasites that floated around. The necrons (who actually ruined everything in 40k) created them living metal bodies based on their mythological gods, which is when they gained sentience.

>>96464300
The main lesson to take away is that newcron lore is shit and they should've stuck with oldcrons

>>96464264
>The 6th ed codex was colored, the non colored artwork is older.
Proof?
>>96464275
One, the tale was told from the shard's perspective, and the novel says it's unknown what's real and what's an allegory from the memories of the Dragon.
Two, the novel says that the shard was mortally wounded by its kind when it fell to earth

>>96464275
We know none of the details of the Emperor's "battle" with the void dragon shard. It's just as likely it submitted willingly and was given Mars as it's sphere of influence. There are several books that imply it is less trapped in the labyrinth and more resides there.

>>96464313
Interesting

>>96464304
>created them living metal bodies based on their mythological gods,
No, the C'tan took the forms of the old Necrontyr gods.

>>96464304
that's what I don't get. if they imprisoned ctan in the same kind of metal bodies they have themselves why do 99% of necrons not retain their sanity? why aren't they sentient when a broken star parasite can be? especially considering necrons had souls at some point and ctan most likely never did

>>96464275
No

>>96464150
Do you reckon CSM use space marine helmets as trophies becuase they're more resiliant and last longer than just skulls, being just bone and all

What kind of energy are the CTan made of if they are only made of corporeal physical, tangible, measurable things and not any kind of warp energy? Are they sentient radio waves?

>>96464275
Yes. The Emperor is the strongest psyker the galacy has ever known.

Void dragon aside, the emperor is clearly meant to be the strongest psyker in the setting. There really isn't anyone else in the same league. He was probably about as strong as it is possible for a living biological psyker to be. That's why I think it only makes sense to assume he or humanity was created as a weapon by the Old Ones or something, he is a genuine freak of nature. I know the old lore about the shamans isn't canon anymore but you need something like that or the Old Ones to explain his existence.

>>96464322
>in the same kind of metal bodies they have themselves
it wasn't the same and the ctan are very different things from normal living beings

>>96464336
that's the story his church tells, yes

>>96464336
Debatable. Definitely the strongest in the current few myriads. The Old Ones were beings of incalculable power that could even create new warp gods though.

>>96464337
>>96464336
No proof of that is given.
Gav Thorp when asked if the Emperor is a god, said no.

Meanwhile, VAshtorr described the Old Ones as living gods.

>>96464330
They're not just made of corporeal physical, tangible, measurable things, they are a sentient tangle of the very fabric of spacetime, that's why you cannot destroy them without tearing apart reality.

>>96464150

>>96464348

Oh no no no what the fuck is empowering the sisters of battle and living saints then. The unborn star child? It can't be the dark king, as the dark king is a ruinous powers himself and therefore not considered "anathema"

>>96464348
That has nothing to do with whether he is the strongest psyker or not. That being said, the concept of a god isn't even defined clearly in 40k, that gets covered in Godblight. If a small number of humans joining the Tau can create a minor Greater Good warp entity then trillions of humans worshipping the emperor for ten thousand years would clearly juice him beyond belief, and he was already the strongest psyker.

>>96464337
I always think of the discussion between Magnus(Tzeentch) and Vulkan (The Emperor) when Tzeentch finally realizes he is not talking to Vulkan but someone clearly much more powerful and he just straight up asks outta nowhere "Who are you?!"

GW never decided. They just thought it would be cool if they contrasted warp-based gods but never gave it any serious thought beyond that.

>>96464366
We're gonna kill you, Corpse-Emperor worshipper. The Emperor is not a fucking god, and whatever is pulling off feats of faith in the Imperium is either the Unborn Star Child in the warp or something else entirely. Your Emperor is merely a corpse. The setting is grimdark. Embrace it and stop trying to pretend it's heroshit

Why does trapping and sharding the fabric of reality not rip apart the fabric of reality?

We have been over this.
Faith Powers are not psychic. They do not come from the Warp.

>>96464382
What do they come from, then? Jesus? Is Jesus canon?

>>96464371
Dunno, but I'd be pretty miffed and jelly about it.

>>96464337
>I know the old lore about the shamans isn't canon anymore

What? Since when?

>>96464377
Who ever said him becoming a god is a "good" thing? I mean, it probably isn't is it? Eldar gods did all sorts of crazy shit, and the sort of god he evolves into is dependent on the believers so the sort of being that might truly "wake up" in the warp if his physical body died wouldn't really be the man that was put on the Golden Throne

Weird tangent but, can Necrons even enter the warp? Is there any instance of them ever doing so in the lore? How do they perceive things in the warp with no souls?

>>96464228
Some more.
The Frozen Stars are said to oppose the reckless expansion of the Tau Empire, especially when it treads on Eldar property.

>>96464322
>if they imprisoned ctan in the same kind of metal bodies they have themselves
Not the same kind of bodies, just the same kind of metal. A c'tan body and a necron warrior body, though both made primarily of necrodermis, has as much in common as a howitzer cannon has to a rusty sword even though both are made primarily steel.

>>96464378
Multidimensional knot theory.

>>96464382
We've been over this. Faith Powers are not your psychic abilities. They come from someone you have faith in who is psychic.

>>96464385
>is Jesus canon?

Yes. Now you're getting it. 40k is a Christian setting, the Emperor is Christ returned and He is setting things right in the galaxy. This is why Chaos cannot win, because He is King and is prophesized to win. 40k is merely the time of tribulations, the millennium of peace everlasting is just over the horizon. This is why chaos players are more than just annoying, they're Satan worshippers. Only be worshipping the Christ-Emperor can you be saved and redeemed.

>>96464401
"But that's just psychic powers with extra steps."

>>96464399
So you're saying they just made the CTan... take the knot?

>>96464382
>Faith Powers are not psychic. They do not come from the Warp.

Yes, they do. The warp is effected by emotions, beliefs, and subjective experience. How much any being changes the warp depends on how strong their soul is there. A psyker is a person with a greater connection to the warp, a more powerful soul. Faith in the emperor changes the warp just like anything else does. That's also why Fabius Bile's reddit atheism causes daemons physical pain when they are near him.

>Saqqara unhooked a flask and murmured softly, running a finger over it in what might have been a calming manner. As he drew close to Fabius, the daemons within his flask grew agitated.

>"They hate you, Fabius," observed Palos. "The daemons - I've never heard them make that sort of noise. Usually it's all laughter and whispers."

>"Why should they be any different to the rest of us?" Savona said.

>"The Neverborn are stories made flesh," Saqqara said, holding up the flask. The formless thing within slammed minuscule fists against the wall of its prison. "Stories of murder and fear, despair and hope. Of excess and cruelty. They are warnings and retributions, hammered into shape by our belief. They are what we make of them." He looked at Fabius. "And he makes of them... nothing. He denies them, denies the story of them. It infuriates them, down to the very root of their conception."

>Fabius smiled. "As I will always deny them. I will not play the willing meat for such lazy parasites. If they want my belief, they must show me something more than they have already." The thing in the flask grew agitated, causing it to shudder in Saqqara's grip. Fabius leaned close, smile widening. "But that would require some degree of true sentience, I fear. Something these thought-forms are singularly incapable of. They are nothing but cunning mirrors - hollow and empty. But they do make wonderful scouts."

You say that, but your proofs on the matter have been shown time and time again to be faulty.


a race that doesn't understand warpstuff at all thinks to have found a way to completely block it, something passes through.
the easiest conclusion is not that faith powers aren't warp powers at all, but that they work in ways not yet understood that somehow get around that block.


say for example you built a dam to block a river, but the next day you found your house completely wet anyway.
you can consider that water might reach your house in ways other than the river or you might shut your brain and argue that rain isn't actually water.

>>96464449
So it's not actual pain but just annoyance. Not too dissimilar to daemons feeling bothered by Orks not fearing them. And of course, that's just a Word Bearer speaking religiously and not the objective truth.
Secular and amoral science after all empowers Vashrorr

>>96464373
Oh thank god

>>96464471
You're misunderstanding. Things you do for "secular" reasons can empower chaos. It's specifically his denial of their existence as daemons, of insisting on understanding them merely as another kind of non-sentient phenomena. It is an active denial of them.

You really came across as retarded in this thread

>>96464451
Like miracles in real life, it's supposed to be mysterious.
>>96464467
It's not a lack of knowledge on the part of the Necrons. The text outright says it's not of the Warp.

Even the Sisters of Silence know that they can't shut down Faith Powers.

>>96463593
So, all of the new detachments require a named model?

>>96464491
No. You are reading too much into this. You can deny daemons all you want. It won't hurt them. It's not belief that created them. It's not what powers them. It's basic emotions.

>when the warp pylons on cadia got turned on briefly by Cawl and Trazyn, all warp phenomena disappeared
>this included all the faith powers of the sisters of battle present as well as Celestine's saint powers
>the legion of the damned disappeared briefly during this event

Hmmm, sounds warp based to me

Necrons don't understand souls or psyker shit. They have the most advanced science when it comes to the physical universe, but anything involving the warp is just "idk, it's like, magic." That's why the experiments at putting necron minds in the bodies of other races have been failing in fucked up ways

>>96464515
yeah this guy is a coping retard

>>96464515
Only Celestine's power was shut off, and GW addressed that recently. The Legion of the Damned is not based on Faith powers. Their mini-series shows that they use a Warp relic to turn marines into what they are.

The Pylons of the Nexus are an upgrade on the Old Pylons. They can't shut down Stern or the acts of faith.
>>96464508
No. Read the text of Stern's novel or Psychic Awakening: Pariah.

>>96464533
>yeah this guy is a coping retard
Coping is telling you what the text says verbatim?

>>96464550
you are not smart enough to merit another substantive reply. You are at the point where you are implying that Celestine, the living saint, having her powers turned off by cutting off the warp has nothing to say about the connection between faith and the warp. It's pointless to engage you further

>>96464550
coping is misreporting what the text says verbatim and then ignoring everything but your assumption

>>96464557
Whatever, man.
Did you know that Celestine once again fought beneath the effect of Pylons, and her powers weren't diminished at all?
So what happened on Cadis was effectively retconned.
Deal with it.

>>96464515
No, see, faith Powers come from a different parallel dimension called the house of god and the pylons strengthening reality just also makes that one split away the same way that the warp does. It's seperate but equal.

I think Black Library sucks.

>>96464573
>So what happened on Cadis was effectively retconned.
OR the new pylons worked slightly differently.
Even on cadia it wasn't an all or nothing situation either.

Love this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe.

>>96464564
Not an assumption. A factual statement. You are the one adding things that are not there.

>>96464544
>Only Celestine's power was shut off, and GW addressed that recently

Proof? Post the fucking source, dude.

>Where the cyclopean pylons rise to the skies, entire regions of realspace are cut off from the warp as though by a fractured wall of glass. Though the effect is not absolute, warp travel and translation, astropathic messaging and the manifestation of daemonic or psychic energies become vastly more difficult. Should the scattered nexus sites extend until their fields merge, Szarekh believes that the threat of Chaos could be defeated forevermore.
>Though the effect is not absolute

Pylons, nulls, and other anti-warp measures never fully shut off the connection. Funnily enough there is one pysker who was known ot be able to overcome the pariah gene....

>>96463636
Now this is cricket.

>>96464574
>the house of god
that's the warp

>>96464584
The Pylons that Celestine fought under were of the old type, similar to the Cadian ones.

The Gathering Storm book said that 99% of the psychic powers were suppressed and all psykers save for the most powerful ones died. The Pylons didn't reach 100% power yet.

>>96464592
My guy, that's on areas where the Pylons are not working 100%.

If you bothered to read more Pariah Nexus crap then you would know that if Pylons were triggered to 100% in a system, all life ends and the Warp becomes so frozen that daemons freeze in place in it like flies in amber.

>>96464585
I'm painting the eyes on two right now

>>96464585
Do you own one. Is it painted? Can we see it

>>96464627
>my guy
>dude
even the way you write is unbearably retarded, never reply to me again

>>96464587
>A factual statement
Nope, what's factual is that you misreported what was said verbatim and are ignoring any and all potential readings of the text for your own assumption that flies in the face of everything else brought against it.

The difference being highlighted is in method, not source, imperials have absolutely no understanding of the source of their powers or the nature of warpstuff either, they only know their method.
That's why the text says the imperials understood the difference.

>>96464639
nasty little wank

>>96464590
The Warhammer+Loremasters episode "The Nephilim Anomaly" gave theories on why Stern is unaffected by Pylons while Celestine was on Cadia:

Theory 1: There is a variance in the Pylons

Theory 2: The strength of faith of both characters and those around them

Theory 3: Something mysterious at work

>>96464627
>>96464655

>>96464656
Theres also the whole ephreal stern book where she learns her powers are not warp born at the end but i think im probably the only person who read that also >bl

>>96464639
Sorry (not sorry) that you are wrong and autistic.

>>96464651
That's the omniscient narrator saying that the Necrons were wrong and the Imperials were right.
It's simple English. You can't twist into your fanfiction.

>>96464666
Of course Satan would read BL

>>96464576
>I think Black Library sucks.
Were you expecting better literary quality from a publisher that makes books about a toy soldiers game, played by middle-aged men?

>>96464666
That too. In the end chapter, all psykers are struck by the Pariah Nexus while Stern is unbothered and still channeling her power.

But these guys in the thread just can't handle that faith is separate from the Warp. Even Stern's rules IIRC note that her power is not psychic.

>>96464668
You're once again misreporting what the text says, the omniscient narrator says the imperials understood the difference.
The imperials cannot understand the difference in source, they have zero knowledge of the metaphysics, they can only understand the difference in methodology.

If we go by your assumption, the omniscient narrator is objectively wrong, but he cannot be wrong, so your assumption is to be discarded.

>>96464592
>Funnily enough there is one pysker who was known ot be able to overcome the pariah gene....
Magnus?
Greyfax?

>>96464691
It's an easy simple English text. Imperials understood that what Stern was manifesting stems from faith. That's it, clear and simple. It didn't say they understood the exact metaphysics behind it. They have straightforward faith that their faith was manifesting. While the Necrons, as the text describes, were clueless that faith powers cannot be countered by Pylons

>>96464627
If the pylons ever actually worked like that then how in the hell did the Necrons manage to lose the War in Heaven?

This is all a cautionary tale about how not to write magic/demons.

>>96464685
Not OP but I think the big issue I have with BL is that it's very bad but people seem to really bring it up constantly. If you play 40k, one of the TTRPG, or even if you are a video game secondary you will be subjected to the books or their content violently and against your will. Also there are a couple of good tie-in novels out there, Warcraft 2 had a book that was pretty decent though apparently all the other attempts were shit, and I heard good things about a few Halo books.

>>96464717
According to the Oldcron lore, the Necrons were about to finish the Pylon network that would have sealed their ultimate victory but then the Old Ones empire exploded so there was no point in completing it.

>>96464725
Finally an anon who gets it

>>96464712
>It didn't say they understood the exact metaphysics behind it
exactly, meaning they only thing they are understanding is that they are praying and having results, instead of casting spells and having results.

it's simple logic, you can twist and turn it however you want, but the difference remains in method, not in matter, because they cannot understand the matter.

You're wrong and should go die on a different hill.

>>96464686
So they're just turning 40k into capeshit? Is that it? They're just taking out the grimdark so that faith powered superhumans who are immune to psychic dampening sources can run around and shitstomp the setting?

>>96464747
No. I am not. As a kind anon reminded me, the Stern novel also states that Faith Powers DO NOT come from the Warp.
Source after source says this while you are clinging to fanfiction.

>>96464734
Yeah. I understand what you are saying. The lorefags in this hobby can be unpleasant, but I don't think anyone else was pretending that Black Library was good. I think most people in the hobby are generally well read enough to know better.

>>96464762
Faith Powers are not always good or kind. Remember the fate of the saint child in the Dark Imperium series? Or what happened to the Humble Saints? Or the poor saint guy that the Imperials in Nihilus used as a lighthouse, making him suffer immense pain.

Faith and miracles being explained defeats the point of faith and miracles. I am glad GW corrected their lore.

>>96464764
>No. I am not.
Yes, you are.

>states that
no, it doesn't, you're once again misreporting your shit and ignoring everything else that's long been established about it

>>96464781
I am.
Sadly, you are too obsessed with your fanfiction.
Don't worry. GW will continue to write that faith =/= Warp.

>>96464780
>Faith and miracles being explained defeats the point of faith and miracles
Sounds like pathetic god botherer cope to me. The 40k setting is meant to show that life under a theocracy is the worst kind of life since everythings run by the deluded and the mad.
The Emperor is a militant atheist burning out all organised faiths during the good old days of the great crusade for a reason

>>96464762
Anon, 40k has been heroic fantasy capeshit since 2017, when they revived Guilliman. This is just them doubling down and instead of making faith powers the psychic byproduct of a malevolent warp entity claiming to be the Emperor, they've copped out and made it miracle superpowers with no grimdark undercurrent at all. "If I believe hard enough and have the power of friendship, I can BELIIIEEEEVE superpowers into existence!" Rest assured, they will be making a joytoy of Stern in the next few years once she gets a model.

Grimdark simply doesn't sell, capeshit does.

Heat Axes

>>96464794
Surrender your hard drive Chaos creep

Where do the Eldar gods figure into the whole faith/warp stuff?
Were they even actual Gods?

Okay, but why does Faith in the Greater Good create a Warp God instead of miracles?

>>96464810
Because Black Library are hacks

>>96464790
>GW will continue to write that faith =/= Warp
But it's not written that anywhere, you're once again seeing rain and calling it not water because a dam was set up to stop water.

>>96464807
The Eldar are Psykers so their belief manifests directly for them. You don't need to have faith when your desires produce consistent and tangible results.

To add to the discussion, here is Tau and their allies discussing Faith Powers:

>‘I am not sure it works like that, Groundbreaker.’ The ace steerswoman Kor’vre Dagashei, shorter than most of her willowy kind but still head and shoulders taller than Bel’gai, made the parting-fingers gesture of the broken theorem. ‘I encountered this specific form of mind-science at Mu’galath Bay. It has more to do with confidence than with any genetic predisposition, I believe. Unlike the genetic version of the mind-quirk, it can wax and it can wane, for it is not innate. Is that not correct, Kindred Soul?’

>Bel’gai’s eyes fixed on the nicassar known as Ghorale, the white-limbed, ursine creature afloat in its personal hoversphere. Every elemental council had a delegate from a vassal race as part of its number, and the nicassar were commonly sought for their wisdom in matters esoteric.

>‘No psychic,’ replied the alien, his words a low growl. ‘No genetic. It come heart. It come spirit.’

At this he tapped his chest with a curving claw the length of a bonding knife. Though the nicassar were so psychic they rarely used physical force, Bel’gai had no doubt Ghorale could disembowel a gue’ron’sha Space Marine with a single swipe.

>‘Cannot be counted,’ the Kindred Soul finished, shaking his head amidst a flurry of bubbles.

>‘Everything can be counted, if you find the right measure for it,’ said Groundbreaker. ‘Even this this phenomenon of faith. I have taken the liberty of categorising the events viewed thus far into five strata. We have seen several different severities of anomaly, the greatest of which were manifest during the capture of your current subject, Por’vre Bel’gai. We of the fio eagerly await your unlocking of the source of her power.’ He made the gesture of the hidden key, turning two fingers in the air. ‘Can it be done with words alone, do you think? Or do you need more… practical assistance?’

>>96464790
You started out with the conclusion that faith doesn't equal warp stuff and worked your way backwards because you're a Christcuck attempting to shove his theology into 40k. GTFO

>>96464816
So they were just daemons, not actual Gods?

>>96464794
Lmao trying too hard.

>>96464814
You being deluded is your cross to bear.

>>96464810
It does generate miracles as shown in Shadowsun's novel.
The goddess was born from the reflection of the nobility of the Tau in the eyes and minds of their allies.

>>96464802
What if I paint them as power axes?

What's special rule-wise about plasma melee weapons?

>>96464831
Your conclusions violate the sanctity of Rick Priestley's original writings in Realms of Chaos. You are a blasphemer, a tourist and a blight, with no respect towards those who created this setting! Leave this hobby.

>>96464821
No. I am following the lore.
You materialized an ad hoc rationalization that faith = Warp.

See >>96464817
The idea of Faith Powers is that they are beyond understanding. They cannot be explained. They are not genetic like psychic powers. They *miraculously* appear.

>>96464807
Eldar 'gods' are just Greater Daemons of the Chaos Gods that the Old Ones put new clothes on. Most came from Slaanesh, but Khaine is from Khorne, Isha is from Nurgle, and Cegorach is from Tzeentch.

>>96464833
>>96464844
No.
By the way, Rick once said that he doesn't follow modern 40K since he won't stop himself from going "That's not how it's supposed to work" every few sentences.

As we are discussing modern 40K, Rick is irrelevant.

>>96464585
I remember there was a point in time when they were value enough to see whole armies spamming them
Think they had rings that fired lascannons shots or something

>>96464859
You picked, or rolled I've forgotten too, a weapon.
They had lascannons. multimeltas, flamers and some others.
They were basically Oblits plus they buffed the unit they were in with a random upgrade to their guns
A great unit because it's just goofy fun

It seems we've been derailed into arguing the metaphysics of a setting which retconned its entire metaphysics.

>>96463726
I think those are entirely cosmetic as of this edition, they have no weapon options now

>>96464807
eldar orks and humans are 3 iterations of the old ones working with ways to tap into the immaterial

the eldar do not have genuine faith, they know their gods exist and revere them, but that's not a belief, it's a knowledge, everything they do is ritualised but underneath it all everything is consciously rationalised, as a race they're very attuned to conscious immaterial manipulation and almost that kind of manipulation alone
but one could say that without genuine faith, they're no real masters of their own destinies and instead have a fatalistic outlook to their existence

orks are a polar opposite, there's barely anything conscious about it, they do stuff because they believe it works, not because they know it works, so much so that you could say they don't have a real understanding of the difference between a belief and an info, they're designed to subconsciously tap into the immaterial and get a very specific result
but without proper conscious effort the orks too are locked into a cycle or a spiral

and then come humans, a perhaps lucky hit of the sweetspot between conscious free will and ability to chart a goal, and a dose of that good old zealous ignorance that in warhammer can literally help in achieving the impossible by believing hard enough


I am definitely reading too much into the accidental fluff accumulated over the years, but it's a functional headcanon for me

>>96464886

Ah you misunderstod/I didn't explain myself properly. I want a fifth yellow chaos god so the primary colour wheel is covered. This has no relations to the dumb and bad Valdor plot line

>>96465073
>he didn't read about the mention of Kweethul Gristlegut, implying chaos is multiversal

Substantial portions of The End and The Death are pulled directly from the original Realms of Chaos books, anon.

>so the primary colour wheel is covered
unfortunately for you, colors don't work like that and slaanesh already throw everything out of whack in that sense anyway.

>>96465082
I remember in the 50k fanfic when the Emperor was made a chaos god and given a yellow color palette. Ah, good times, before the coming of 8th and capeshit slop.

This "lore" shit is sad.

>>96465099
>unfortunately for you, colors (sic) don't work like
Fuck off yes they do, we have blue, red, green and purple/pink. Yellow and orange are the most notable other colours we're missing. Khorne is also kinda orange since hes big into brass/bronze so thats leaves yellow. I want a yellow chaos god

I love reading Lore arguments, screw the haters.

>>96465125
Anon you are not getting a piss god

>>96465073
40k happens then WHFB happens then AoS happens
Slaanesh is born in 40k
Horned Rat is a later joiner
Leman Russ is Ulric

>>96465125
Have you once considered that the Dark King could be yellow, considering that the other chaos gods are described as "dark" despite not literally being colored black?

My games look cooler than that dweebos

>>96465125
>Fuck off yes they do
No, they don't
You cannot balance the chaos gods on a color wheel, most traditional colour wheels don't even properly represent the distribution of colours on the visible spectrum

>>96465170
>Have you once considered that the Dark King
Dark King is a nothingburger plot point from a nothingburger book series that went nowhere.

>>96465167
No, fantasy happens 60 millions years before 40k because in there the old ones have disappeared only 10k years prior, while they disappeared in 40k 60 millions years ago.

>that's dumb
correct, the real answer is time travel

You know, it would make the most sense if Khorne, Nurgle, and Tzeench actually ARE the great old ones who were changed by the turmoil in the warp from the War in Heaven and Slaanesh's ascension was just another of them rising up from their first creation.

Don't bring science, fact, logic and reason to my fluff for little figures I war with anon.
>>96465170
Sure and the Emperors love of gold could be a fun version of a yellow chaos gods 'yellow' colouring. A tarnished golden realm with golden armoured demons like custodes/ SoS etc. However the Emperor is explicity not a chaos god because the setting wouldnt work if he was. I want a fifth yellow chaos god on par with the big 4

>>96465216
>implying they're the same old ones

>>96465212
Did you forget that the name of the Chaos God changed from the Dark King into the Despoiler?

What are the chances that Necrons get a Christmas Battleforce when they got one in 2024? GW seems to like them, no?

>>96465250
Tau are supposedly the token xenos for Christmas

>>96465237
They're explicitly the same old ones

>>96465255
Didn't they get one last year too?

>>96465250
According to rumour we have
>SM
>Nidzilla
>Farsight Tau
>CSM
Last one could be EC or Necron. Place your bet.

I think gsc might be due for a Christmas box

>GW retconning shit means it means something
It's a nothingburger and always will be. Just like Ynnead.

>>96465236
>it wouldn't work if he was

Why not? All that's required of him to keep the setting working is for his corpse to stay on the Golden Throne acting as a psychic lighthouse battery.

Disgusting....

>>96465317
It's from within the same novel!
It's not retconning if its from the same book!

>>96465301
Its using cover to avoid enemy attacks you know...one of the most basic military defensive tactics known to history.

>>96465301
It probably has indirect fire or some shit

Can't wait to upgrade my boy

>>96465377
>Can't wait to upgrade my boy
2026

>>96465375
That would need to be extremely short ranged indirect fire.

>>96465385
prob early next year

>>96463793
Not yours, you've already admitted to having no models during your t-sports spam tirades

>>96465326
Is this some sort of time limited build and play random tourney? I don't actually believe someone or multiple people would bring unfinished models like that to a real game.

Sorry officer, can you let me off with a warning?

>>96465505
No, you have to post a miniature you painted as penance

PSA: I'm shitting.

Grim

>>96465601
Nice paint job but that mold line on the hilt is very noticeable.

>>96465601
I need a finer paint brush so I can paint leather like that

>>96465637
I use a size 2 for my scratches, it holds a great point and you can load it with paint without it spilling out of control

>>96465526
Damn that is a huge commitment but great job. Where do you get the different heads for your Knights?
>>96465601
Quality work anon and no one can see that mold line from any distance.

yes in this thread with each and every one of your posts

How do you transport stuff? I'm getting back into 40k with a 1k heavy assaut marine army that has 26 models. All of the options i've tried so far are too small and everything else just jumps in size, can't stand magnets. I could just go back to the old towel in a tupaweat box, but I'd rather not
