Thread question:
What do you expect/wish GW would do with the eldar next? They haven't been mentioned a whole lot recently.

>>96465753 (OP)
>TQ
Actually have any kind of news or mention of what the hell they are planning to do with Drukhari

>>96465753 (OP)
>TQ
I want the Dark Eldar to start pulling out some of their superweapons. There's so much shit that they keep mentioning but there are just no models. Vect has apparently got an arsenal of War in Heaven era stuff that he just doesn't use

>>96465753 (OP)
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 tupawear box, but I'd rather not. I tried the BF mini but it only carries 20 at most

>>96465753 (OP)
>TQ
all the elder will have sexo with me and i will coom hehe

Nightbringer: reddit
Void dragon: newfag
transcendant c'tan: BASED
Deciever: CHAD

>>96465753 (OP)
Nth for the Boxnaught of the Imperium Fists.

>tq

Eldar should be the premier Xeno faction but Im not mad they made it the Crons.

>>96465772
>How do you transport stuff?
Magnets
>can't stand magnets
I'm sorry you feel that way.

>>96465753 (OP)
>TQ
With current GW's policy, i hope they will not mention eldars until muslims conquer britain

>>96465753 (OP)
I don't play Eldar so I don't care.

>>96465812
Yea but how would you feel if you did this morning?

>>96465810
pretty crazy eh? (Not so) Great Britain is like living in a hive city and being arrested for pointing out all the slaaneshi deviants and orks messing it up.

>>96465822
As an Ameribro its sort of scary I aint finna lie

>>96465822
>mfw I've read Poles run back to Poland from GB because they don't feel safe there
fucking kek

>>96465753 (OP)
Is it time to post RT Eldar art?

Wheeeeeeeee

>>96465791
How old is that art? I know they posted it recently on the community article for Lysander but I like it. Old bolter and the classic dread are always fun to see.

>>96465753 (OP)
>What do you expect/wish GW would do with the eldar next? They haven't been mentioned a whole lot recently.
Webway war
Cumrag's situation will get worse prompting Vect to intensify raids on Realspace since he is looking for some MacGuffin to seal the breach or some shit like this. Might be a justification why they are in 11th Edition box if they are there and not the Orks
Deldar update
Corsair wave with Yriel
As for Craftworlders in particular - for now no idea. Maybe something when Exodites become a faction. Exodites and Craftworlders would start carving out realms to rebuild Eldar empire. Would be an excuse why Exodites are now everywhere. But that requires Exodites to become playable faction next Edition. And I think new faction will be Lost and the Damned with DarkAdmech this time, since Votann - a Xeno army - was last faction to be introduced.

>>96465880
This is the reason why GW doesn't want Imperium and Eldar teaming up too much. It'd be too bad ass.

>>96465886
>Bladeguard
so 9th Edition at earliest

>>96465888
Lost and the Damned would be great, we don't really have any way to make a renegade or traitor guard army that isn't just CSM or guard with the numbers filed off.

Good investment? Trying to get good at t-sports.

What causes this? It looks like someone's been gnawing on the end of my brush. I do everything they say to keep the bristles clean

>>96465936
You might be lost, check the catalog again.

>>96465936
If you beat him, do you get your money back?

>>96465956
Anon, these are t-sports masters, that's impossible! They've been studying the game for (2, that's how old the ruleset is) years! While you were busy touching grass, they were buying loaded di - I mean, studying the (new) codices! They cannot be defeated, surely!

>>96465936
I kinda want to try one of these out, purely for curiosity's sake. Not necessarily with AOW but there are some other 40k youtubers I follow who also offering it.

>>96465753 (OP)
Eldar belong in the dumpster and I hope that's where they stay. Dark eldar can stay with them in there.

One last repost of my kapricus (with his children)
What're you working on tonight anons? I plan to start on my memnyr.

>>96465936
This has to be a psyop, right? An organized scam intended to make tournament players look worse? There's no fucking way these guys are for real.

>>96465955
>>96465956
>>96465966

Hoping to finish my big mek tonight

>>96465973
whats a memery?

>>96465753 (OP)
>TQ
While I haven't picked up and read the 10th codex yet, I'd love to see more interaction between the eldar and LoV. I mean c'mon, it's elves and dwarves here. The tyranid character was nice but where's my rivalry between the two most pronounced fantasy races of all time?

>>96465936
why the FUCK should i pay for something other faggots figure out FOR FREE

>>96465991
The memnyr strategist, AKA the not!admech tech priest for the votann.

>>96465988
Looks good man. Got a whole army shot? Don't see bad moons too often around here.

>>96465996
the way you FUCKS talk about 40k here it doesn't sound like you have anything figured out KWAB

>>96465982
I looked it up, it's a real website. I know the OP is a shitposter, but why does it exist? I'm convinced it's some sort of psyop to make comp players look bad. It has to be, right? And the shitposter is part of that effort? Like, he's helping them, isn't he? Right? Who the fuck would actually think running a business based on the absurd premise of "COACHING FOR 40K" is a good idea?

Is there any more proof someone can dredge up that this whole "art of war" thing and the "t-sports" shitposter are part of a coordinated psyop? Maybe they're both connected to that raid discord I keep hearing about.

>>96465953
You cant. The pigment molecules slice up the bristles over time. Its worse with metallics.

>>96465973
Nothing. My whole day is accounted for. God damn I hate Wednesdays.

My favorite gimmick is a chapter relic being 'used by the primarch' and it's clearly a regular ass weapon that the primarch probably never used.

>>96466019
People will buy anything as long as you package and advertise it anon.

>>96466006
Have you played with the new codex yet?

>>96466030
I view that as part of the charm of space marines, these "primarch relic weapons" are probably just random relic weapons who somehow got connected to a primarch through a millennia long game of telephone and oral storytelling. That's how legends work, no?

>>96466030
Same lol.
>oh this regular length sword was totally wielded by the 14 foot giant who's hands are twice as big as the grip

>>96466019
there's a sucker born every minute

>>96466013
I've got some bad moons but I paint my dudes whichever color I feel like that day. Pic is my starting crusade force from earlier this year

>>96466015

Go back to /reddit/ trash

>>96466030
a lot of that is a holdover from when Primarchs were on the same scale as regular marines rather than 20 foot tall mary sues

>Though he has learned much restraint in recent decades, the First Captain still harbours a burning desire to find and destroy Warsmith Shon’tu. Perhaps such an opportunity will soon present itself.

They retconned Shon'tu's death?

>>96465982
I'll reply to whoever I want faggot

>>96466027
Sounds like I oughta get a dedicated metallics brush

I miss 2nd edition...

>>96466088
Do you have any 2nd ed stuff?

Do we have like actual Battleforce leaks or were people speculating in the last thread?

>>96466055
Oh yeah I recognize your dudes now. Love your stuff, man.
>>96466039
I haven't. I've been painting and playing AoS lately. Looks really interesting though, I like the thought of yield points a lot better than JT.

>>96465936
You know speaking of E sports if you look at the major tourneys you can see people in matching uniforms and all that like it's a sport. I think one of those coaching guys you're posting about runs one

>>96466096
please give me a dorf one with the new models

>>96466077
I'm going to be honest I thought they were just a little bit taller, how big are they supposed to be?

>>96466093
No I just watch batreps :)

When does white dwarf come out?

>>96466096
valrak has a rumour of them
his source about battleforces has been correct in the past already, so there's a good chance these are reliable too

disregard everything he telegraphs as his own speculation, fat fuck's a retard

>>96465973
I love painting, even if they look rough rn I'm happy with the blue

>>96466111
20 foot was an exaggeration for personal amusement but they're generally 50% bigger or more than a marine in 30k

That was only a thing for rogue trader, even in 2e they were described as dwarfing marines

What was the Valrak rumor exactly?

>>96466126
Well, what are his rumors then

>>96466140
after rogue trader the whole horus heresy as a time of myth thing started kicking in which mirrors things like Gilgamesh being described as four meters tall

Are techmarines something thousand sons could get

>>96466208
Yeah, but illiterate retards who read everything in a literal sense will assume that every legend and story behind relics (and everything in general) is meant to be taken literally and will scream like baboons whenever you acknowledge that they're not meant to be.

>>96465753 (OP)
>CWE
Biel-Tan is actually super-perma-fucked and they have to leave the craftworld in a specific star systems with a Maiden World which then becomes the base of Biel-Tan's new eldar empire as they start calling in favors and conscripting Exodites across the galaxy, reinforcing the star system etc. Tallarn gets to establish a permanent embassy there.
Some of the Craftworlds destroyed during the Great Crusade like Thuyelsa and Loeviatar are reintroduced by some of their survivors still being around and being outright genocidal towards humanity, they go around just burning worlds by whatever means necessary not caring if it helps or hurts their race's goals as they're just vengeful assholes now. Give a good reason to play evil CWE.
Altansar begins working with Necrons against Chaos and daemonic threats because the other Eldar shun them so much, they stir the pot at Pariah Nexus even more.
>DE
Humanity's psychic awakening starts turning a significant amount of slaves and victims at Comorragh into psykers. Instead of outright executing everything Vect and his Homunculi try to create weapons out of these psykers, especially the ones turned into eternally screaming couches and whatnot. They start using humans turned into psi-guns and creating new freakish creations like eight human psykers sown together and controlled by a captured Craftworld eldar to get a fortress-busting psychic monstrosity etc. These new creations help them stabilize the disjunction situation a bit.

>>96466216
You mean warpsmiths? But yeah, I guess?

whatever happened with that planet sized tyranid thing?

Who turn into a termi lord that isn't Abaddon?
Pic just for scale.

>>96466204
I've never had a unit drop both of its bomb squigs. It's extremely rare that any ork unit will end two normal moves within 12" of an enemy over the course of a game

>>96466246
The Lion destroyed it, then Guilliman abolished the Inquisition and everyone lived happily ever after while Cawl closed the Great Rift. No more grimdark. The end.

GSC bros, im slowly building up a final day list, focusing on the first 1k. What do you guys think of it. Only 835 so far

Locus
Patriarch
Primus
Sanctus (either dagger or sniper)
Winged tyranid prime

5 Acolyte hybrids (mining tools)
10 Gargoyles
10 Neophytes

10 Genestealers
3 Von Ryan's

Achilles Ridgerunner

>>96466246
It just exists. GW might elaborate on it when they focus on the 4th tyrannic war again in the future, or they might not ever mention it again for like the next 30 years.

You never really know with 40k fluff honestly.

>>96466260
Do you usually lose them early on or something

>>96466264
>>96466272
Really? That doesn't really seem like something you would skip over, what are they doing instead, more gay marine melodrama or something?

>>96466289
>more gay marine melodrama

Yeah that's what they're doing anon

>>96466256

Excuse this.

>>96466289
>xenosfag grips with the limits of his army's relevancy in the wider 40k narrative

>>96465768

I want rules for his private collection of edgy tortured modified wraithguards.

>>96466314
>marinefag soon to grip with the limits of 40k becoming the horus heresy but with primaris marines

>>96466311
eightbound and sharterbound are not terminators

Are transports really necessary in 10th if you use their recommended terrain layouts? There is so much LoS blocking that it has pretty trivial to keep stuff from being shot and the board is so much smaller now.
They've been more effective at just being a roadblock rather than a transport. So I'll cede they have a purpose but it's not really to move units

>>96466311
Anon thousand sons literally have a termie sorc

>>96466311
Slaughterbound isn't a termie

>>96466325
I assume he means model because the one GW uses is a generic termi lord using the spare scarab torso that comes in the box

>>96466323
Its necessary for orks unfortunately, moving 12" a turn beats foot slogging it

>>96466283
Unit of breaka boyz with two squigs.
>Turn 1, they're in a trukk and can't drop a squig
>Turn 2, either I stage more than 12 from enemies or I waaagh and advance
>Turn 3/4, they get shot to death
They need to revert the nerf or change it to a reactive effect

'member sergeant stone?

>>96466314
It's more that it's extremely bizarre that they would introduce all that but then not do anything with it when historically whenever a faction spits something like that out it gets focus until it inevitably gets destroyed

>>96466323
Yes, they are also giving transports nice buffs for their datasheet abilities, like DG rhinos let you reroll wounds I think and that sort of crap.

>>96466315
The edgy tortured Wraithguards are how he has access to superweapons. Soulstones from live Eldar can be used to either raid croneworlds OR to use powerful psychic weaponry in lieu of the Drukhari's own psychic power. Vect crams a bunch of soulstones into a Wraith construct and gives it the Pain Engine treatment to have soldiers who can use psychic weapons

>>96466338
Oh yeah breakas make sense given they are a melee unit. These were from tankbustas. I failed a charge with my breakas, failed it again with the reroll and that was it

This is a Long Fang of the Space Wolves Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes. He was murdered by Belisarius Cawl and Roboute Guilliman.

>>96466245
Only Tau doesn't make sense there and should be switched for Orks or Eldar. Tau got a Battleforce a while back.

>>96466006
Needs a Gendo pose.

>>96466315
>Those superweapons require psychic activation, like that planetkiller they borrowed to...biel-tan i think?
Iyanden optimized this weapons, and Iyanna carved out entire subsectors

>>96466371
Tau are best sellers, chud.

>>96466369
You got to keep almost all of your firstborn shit that didnt get refreshed while blood angels didn't keep anything and lost even more
shut the fuck up faggot

>be Primarch
>find your legion digging through your damn used toilet paper because you used it
>and you're not even Mort enough for it to be a bioweapon

>>96466369
>He was murdered
Long Fangs will be back next edition since GW needs some units to update then as well so they can keep making money.

>>96466383
Blood Angels had a hard refresh...

>>96466246
buy more tyranids

>>96466362
These are the proper Wraithguard weapons.

How would you slot ass-probing, crop circle-burning, livestock-abducting, flying saucer-piloting Ayys into the 40k setting?

>>96466353
Yeah, what about him

>>96466422
A guy said that'd be a good aesthetic for rebel Grots. Not necessarily the GRC but a little green men grot faction, and I agree

>>96466414
I'm not autistic enough to know what these are

>>96466353
as >>96466425 said.

>>96466168
while dwarfed by the BL series even during RT specific events had a lot of detail.

>>96466422
I would just make them into a minor nuisance/menace. Like they just arrive on Imperial planets merely to shitpost while stealing random stuff like corpse starch.

>>96466168
>>96466446
You can go in great detail about something while considering it a myth.

>>96466467
cope

>>96466474
No, he's right.
Even IRL religions and mythologies there's a lot of in-depth shit about how the universe/world was created, regardless they are just myths.

>>96466467
actual cope lol
"I preferred the HH when it was more like a myth" was a meme born out of illiterate midhammer fags who never read shit like the Index Astartes articles or Visions of Heresy.

>>96466213

Sounds cool and reasonable enough

>>96466523
a lion hunts elephants, rhinos, and hippos

>>96466486
Irrelevant, the accounts of the heresy in RT/2E aren't written as myths
And it definitely wasn't this "mysterious legendary event" like newfags love to parrot

>>96466514
You believe Islam isn't a myth?

>>96466531
the purity of your aryan blood is a myth

>>96466528
>a lion hunts elephants, rhinos, and hippos
If a lone lion tries to kill any of the four herbivores mentioned, it will die 9/10.

>>96466508
I preferred HH when it wasn't a fetid inconsistent melodrama for faggots like yourself.

Trygon or mawloc?

>>96466528
lions dont hunt elephants or rhinos or hippos unless they're sick or elderly and almost dead already lmao

>>96466549
die mad about it

>>96466377
Tau are dogshit and unpopular. Go on, post your fake chart, loser.

>>96466422
They already are in as Fra'al
Gameplay wise they would something between Tau and Eldar. They would suck in melee similar to Tau and unlike Eldar, but would be powerful Psykers similar to Eldar, but unlike Tau. Rip off x-com for units for them.

>>96466563
uh oh, chud melty

>>96466544
>If a lone lion tries to kill any of the four herbivores mentioned, it will die 9/10.
Nope. All three of those prey species exhibit the same prey terror response to a lone lion as they do to a human because they're genetically conditioned that lions are their predators. A lone lion can knock a bull elephant over by tackling it sideways, then kill it while it's down by tearing out its throat. Same for rhinos. With hippos it's a little trickier since they have to leave the water for this to work, but the same tactic is effective against all of them.

>>96466558
Mawloc 100%

>>96466422
tau?

>>96466560
wrong, lone prideless lions have been documented hunting even bull elephants with full success. It's not their first choice of prey, but a hungry lion will not hesitate to take down a healthy bull elephant. It's why even bull elephants genetically fear lions. Lions are truly kings of the jungle.

>>96466542
>the purity of your aryan blood is a myth
It's true because I'm Indian.

>>96466530
It's a myth based on the fact that you can't prove any of those things that were written in RT/2E are actually true and really happened.
In the end it's just in-universe speculation or intentionally written in a misleading way by GW's writers themselves.
Nevermind that GW's writers, and even the original creators, are of the opinion "everything is canon, not everything is true."
So even if there are contradicting pieces of information, that is entirely by design of the creators.

The entire point of 40k is that any information you do get can never be 100% reliable. It could be real, yes, but it could also be propaganda, a cover up, a bureocratic error, rantings of an insane person.
And even if you did ever find the truth, it could be so outlandish and weird that you can't even sure that it is truth.

All of it is just myths and nothing more so players can come up with their own ideas and interpertations.

>>96466474
>>96466508
It's still a myth

>>96466576
Uh oh, snowflake melty

>>96466584
The mw spam seems interesting

>>96466593

It gets a few laughs every game

>>96466573
>that pic
I genuinely do wonder where people get this info from sometimes. Or how they even come up with this shit.

>>96466369
What's stopping you from designating your gravis squads, sternguards and desolators (lol) as Long Fangs?
My terminators, bladeguards and sternguards are Sword Brethren, since they're veteran elites. My terminator captain is a marshall, my lieutenant a castellan. They dont have the stats and rules for them, just the name.
Long Fangs are just titles you can give to your units.

>>96466563

>>96466592
>>96466593
>i-it's still a myth
nope! It's written as historical fact in those contexts
You can keep parroting your tourist notion of the heresy being obscure and unexplained and obscured in untruths until recently with the BL book series but you'll be wrong no matter how much you stamp your feet and cry about it

>>96466625
Isn't that just tourney stats?

I've never faced nids
You can pop up multiple times in the same phase? I love it

>>96466639
>It's written as historical fact
Which you can't prove if it even is correct or if it even ever happened.
You can write a lot of shit, doesn't mean any of it's actually true.

>>96466646
nope, it's all games logged by players through their points-tracking app

>>96466573
>They already are in as Fra'al
Fra'al Battlecruisers look nothing like flying saucers or the such.
They have nothing to do with greys apart from one erroneous image which depicted them with a grey-ish image misattributed to them.

>>96466651
You're spouting irrelevant bullshit to cope, it WAS explained, you going B-BUT YOU CAN'T SAY THAT'S FOR SURE WHAT HAPPENED doesn't mean it wasn't explained mongoloid

>>96466639
Is it?

Hello faggots, does anyone have the full 10th edition codex for Eldar? Pretty please?

>>96466653
Oh fair enough. Ork bros are suffering i see

>>96466620
No idea. Someone posted those separately in some thread ages ago. I found them amusing and compiled into one image

I will create an onlyfans so I can afford playing Votann

>>96466684
are overweight trannoids popular on onlyfans?

>>96466649
He's probably referring to retreat below stratagem, can take mawloc off the table at the end of the opponents fight phase and put it into strategic reserves

>>96466667
You seem angry.

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>96466716
Wolf boys puttin in work, you luv to see it.

>>96466623
>What's stopping you from designating your gravis squads, sternguards and desolators (lol) as Long Fangs?
You forgot Aggressors!

I believe in red scorpion supremacy

>>96466578
A lion would die if I hit it with my car. Hippos are 1.75 Imperial tons, while the average car in America is 2.16.
You understand Lions are pack animals, being known for this as they are the only big cat that is a pack animal.

>>96466711
Thank you for admitting to being wrong

>>96466723
One of the best Dark Eldar novels is actually Lukas the Trickster where they get styled on by some wolves but it's still a very fun exchange for all involved.

>>96466661
Their name was ripped off from greys from other setting https://alternityrpg.fandom.com/wiki/Fraal
It sounds like a blatant reference.
Other stuff fits too, like capturing humans and using Psionic powers

Ah okay
I was hoping it popped up and jump scared everyone, then back down the hole, then popped up and did another jumps scare

>>96466684
You missed the bubble. If you wanted to make any money among the sea of bots and lazy women then you needed to have had this idea well before covid hit. Unless you have impossible cartoonish proportions or are doing absolutely degen shit you're gonna get lost in the crowd of hot people

>>96466727
I think in hindsight the narrative focus of 40k should stay small scale.

>>96466731
>A lion would die if I hit it with my car.
Irrelevant. You claimed small predators of large animals don't exist, but they do. Even bobcats can hunt deer. Size isn't everything. The size of the elephant being used against it is how the lion is able to hunt it by knocking it over. There's no reason why a Primarch would be stronger for being 10 feet tall except that he looks more impressive than a Primarch who is 'merely' 8 feet tall, like Alpharius.

lorefags should really just embrace that there is no true cannon and its better to appreciate each other's headcannons for what they are
fighting over it and feeling emotions is so sad

What's your favorite nid paint scheme? I am wanting to branch out to something different but the standard purple/cream setup is so good.

>>96466773
>cannon

>>96466727
Do you own any red scorpions

>>96466724
Can these guys be Long Fangs?
Also Eliminators make the perfect Wolf Scouts. Veterans who are better at scouting than other scouts.

>>96466759
then I will create a gofundme but i WILL get my space dorfs

>>96466776
Kraken, red and bone is great combo.
But honestly, all three big hive fleets have great schemes.

>>96466766
>You claimed small predators of large animals don't exist, but they do
I didn't I claimed big things are stronger than small things, or would you like to fight a Giraffe.

>>96466784
...fuck
this is the caliber of person youre fighting with on 4chan btw

>>96466773
>s-stop saying I'm wrong

>>96466776
I like Hivefleet Behemoth and Hivefleet Typhon painting schemes

>>96466801
>I didn't I claimed big things are stronger than small things, or would you like to fight a Giraffe.
Giraffes are among the least threatening fucking animals in the Savannah you pseudointellectual dumbshit.

>>96466776
I dunno about the name of the hive fleets but the one on the cover of the 3ed codex by Adrian Smith is probably what I'd go with if I wanted bugs

>>96466793
Fucking Suppressors. How do you even fix a unit like that?

>>96466841
Is that Hive Fleet Moloch?

>>96466840
mmm so you would like to fight the 1 ton horned and hoofed lever?
>A giraffe is one of the least threatening animals in the savanna
Like saying a wild horse or cow is unthreatening, if it wants to kill you, you would be dead.

>>96466741
I'll check it out

>>96466776
I saw pic rel. Its insanely good. But I cannot imagine painting a horde with this much detail.
It looks like skinned balls. Amazing.

>>96466866
No clue, I mix up all the hivefleets every time I try and remember which is which

>>96466860
they didn't need jetpacks, take those and the moonshoes away and they'd be kino

>>96466886
His smaller guys look great. The big bugs look not so great. The technical detail in them is just as good though - i think he just made them too bloody.

>>96466886
This kind just looks like white drybrushed over red, gloss varnish, wash flesh, sketch out veins

>>96466886
eww if someone tried to play me with this gross shit I would protest and also notify the police

>>96466369

At least he's not riding a fucking SLED

>>96466886
>Amazing
FBI, explode this guy's IP balls

>>96466841
hmm I might try and recreate this
thinking prime black, then dry brush some grey or white t make the glossy highlights (could try doing a high gloss but idk I'll have to mess with it) and then another dry brush of red around the edges. then fill in some highlights of that green and them flesh tone (dry brush the faces white over the flesh) and then finally add the red banding. Doesn't look like it'd be very hard to do a mass army once you had the recipe down.
>>96466886
damn that looks gross (in a really good way)

>>96466897
The weapon profile is nice, I would like it to be an optional heavy weapon for heavy Intercessors in lieu of the heavy bolter option. Hell, I would love one in regular intercessor squads too but those days are over it seems. But a squad of them? Almost worthless. They're 75 points now, almost never taken, and if you take their movement they're just still worse.

Can someone explain the appeal of GSC?

>>96466951
misguided underdogs rebelling for a cause that doesn't exist

>>96466886
i saw this guys tyranids aswell

>>96466886
I guess you could say that's a really fleshed out paint scheme

>>96466951
Their models don't appeal to me but their ambush play style seems interesting with a good bit of skill to really get inside your opponent's head and mess with him

>>96466964
Have a Carlos.jpeg in spirit, but not in effect

>>96466951
Industrial jabronis with cool alien arms, giant rocksaws, bulldozers with saw blades, fat ass cult leader mommies, nitro circus dirt bike Chad's, atv off road fury dudes, giant mutated dudes that swing stop signs around, kooky mad scientist characters, sand rails with guns, giant mining lasers and drills. Also it has this guy

>I have NDA with Games Workshop where they send me stuff for free. So it's like every month I get like 10 boxes of Warhammer just showing up on the doorstep
wtf I want this too

Seems like most of our model posters have a minimum of 3-4 armies. Do we have any that stick to a single army?

>want to start tyranid army for a long time
>never seen a color scheme i liked

>>96466902
His bigger guys look great too >>96466961 the blood in the joints and recesses are really doing an effect.

>>96467013
become a content creator then :^)
good luck trying to paint with a camera in your setup

>>96467018
Nids are hard for that, I don't like most either personally.They either are creative and colorful, and then clash with the model, are kind of bland, or are just unwashed ass.

>>96467033
how hard can it be
being autistic is probably a bigger obstacle anyway

would it be bad if I wanted thosuand sons to delve more into their mech range than seeing rubrics being expanded on.

>>96467081
more magic robots would be cool sure

Marine and nid bros, do you still use any minis from the leviathan box? If so which ones?

>>96466951
Imagine if the revolution that led to the formation of your country was actually orchestrated by alien forced beyond your comprehension in order to destabilize the region enough for the aliens to sweep through whats left and kill you all. You, your friends and family, the heros and martyrs of your people's revolt, all puppets with strings extending to the stars above you. If you manage to survive what comes next you'll realize it's a pattern, that the same heros fighting the same causes are mirrored in hundreds of other places, blind to the reality that they are the willing agents of their own destroyers, believing that the beings raining down on them are divine saviors, same as you did. And they'll die the same as you did.

>>96467081
I want melee rubrics just so I can use my khenatai
But a mirrorfiend or aetherwing would be sick

Some experimenting tonight. Painted this lava skin ghoolie. How's it looking? Imagine it like 10% darker the skin turned kinda bright in the pictures for some reason.

I wonder if its a good enough idea to paint berserkers/gorefiends in this style. Gorefiends have a lot of skin, zerkers not so much but they have a bunch of clothing and shit and I'm not sure how that should interact colorwise.

>>96467081
I honestly just wish they'd delve into anything because I feel like we won't get any new stuff for a while after the chicken robots.

>>96467158
This is what I imagine some of our resident shit posters look like.

>>96467209
I imagine them as drooling, obese retards myself

>>96467209
>So much seething white hot rage inside that their skin literally boils into lava
I can see that.

>>96467081
I'd really like a unique vehicle myself, like a magic tank or something

Man I suck at edge highlighting. I'm having difficulty in getting the right consistency for it, it's either too thick so the brush doesn't across the edges or too watery and the paint gets everywhere.
The blue ink also was too strong for the glow effect I was hoping to achieve. I think I'll repaint the brain again.
>>96466951
You wouldn't get it.

>>96467092
Never really understood why Tsons of all legions got the special robots.
You'd think Iron Hands and Iron Warriors would fit that more. (I know IW does have the domitar robots as Pert's bodyguards, but that's HH exclusive)

>>96466673
If you still there, here it
https://transfiles.ru/dg3bl

>>96467053
Tape an X on your desk. Then hold your model above that X. You are not allowed to move the miniature away from that X or you are "out of frame". You cannot position yourself above the X in order to get a better view because you would cut in front of the camera. You also must focus on painting the surface directly facing the camera otherwise "the camera" can't see what you're doing. I had a friend try streaming painting for a while and he likened it to painting a miniature you're holding inside a microwave oven

>>96467279
Looks sensational to me anon, I can see your passion and love your color scheme.

>>96467304
2 cameras with a switcher, ez

>>96467279
That's his tail right?

>>96465753 (OP)
Do eldar girls have pubic hair?

>>96467314
Thanks, I'll probably finish it by this week or something. I need to repaint the nails and the spikes for sure, then do an edge-highlighting from the get go. I don't have a dark grey so I mix black and white and that complicates things slightly for me. The tongue needs some cleaning up as well, but overall I'm happy how it came out to be. I still have a long way to go but this is probably the best thing I've painted so far.
>>96467329
it's whatever it is you want it to be

>>96467345
Eldar have no body hair at all and they shit crystals

>>96467327
Camera needs to be looking at what your painting which is normally what your eyes are doing, switcher changes nothing

>>96467350
Do they smell?

In the last thread someone asked me which psyker it was that was known to be able to overcome the pariah gene. I thought it was obvious from the context but it is of course the Golden Mary Sue himself. Unlike other psykers even the strongest blanks seemed to have no effect on him

>>96467363
I'd imagine so they have noses

>>96467363
Crystals are just a structure its still a turd but in crystalline form.

>>96467365
He was designed to be the strongest psyker in the setting so its logical.

>>96467279
Make sure to not have too much paint on your brush, that's what I was doing wrong when I was starting out. As for consistency, thin it more than you normally do when basecoating etc and adjust if necessary. It's supposed to be a bit runny so it flows really easily. Takes a bit of getting used to since it'll often vary from paint to paint but it clicks eventually.

>>96467378
The context was about how some “faith powers still worked” even with upgraded necron pylons. It all depends on who you are praying to and there is one psyker that would kick your ass six ways to Sunday even if you tried to shut out the warp

>>96467365
>mary sue

Sure. You know what terms mean.

How would you make Tactical Squads not shit?

>>96467408
Play a dogshit edition

>>96467365
actually you're thinking of zael effernetti/hyperion of the grey knights who psykered while asleep so hard that he turned wynstan frauka from a blank into a normal person

>>96467408
Buying intercessors instead

>>96467408
Giving them the primaris treatment and then squatting the other primaris kits.

the reason pylons work are simple
c'tan and chaos gods are two rulers of different realms, the materium and the immaterium
Pylons shut off the immaterium
The Emperor exists in the interstice between material and warp - he is both and neither. His power grows in the physical realm from sacrifice and the warp from psychic energy. It is as if a logic gate could be flipped to '0' or '1' to stop anything else that's '1' from working, but the Emperor is '2'.

>>96467365
Anon, it's the Emperor. Him of all people being able to overcome blanks makes sense.
He is meant to be retardedly über powerful to the point that it is incomprehensible to people.

>>96467416
Other psykers can overcome blanks and anti-warp stuff with enough power if they are strong enough but the emperor just wasn’t effected by it at all as far as you can tell

He could hang out around the strongest sisters of silence like it was nbd and control the astronomicom from across the galaxy with his mind at the same time

>>96467408
sticky objectives is really all they need since they get free wargear and rhinos are better than impulsors

>>96467408
Make a new primaris tacticals kit and then update the stats to be better.

>>96467435
Correct that’s the point we were arguing about in the other thread. He is clearly meant to be the strongest psyker and isn’t “normal”. Ordinary warp countermeasures are useless against him, especially in 40k

>>96467447
That's just intercessors

>>96467408
Their permanent combat doctrines thing from the index was actually pretty fucking sweet and I'm bummed they got rid of it in favor of combat squads

>>96467451
Intercessors don't have special weapons in their kit.
Primaris tacticals still have a place.

Do you think we gonna get new combat patrolas or other boxes by the end of year? If yes what do u think its gonna be?

>>96467526
More marines.

>>96465772
I'm using a fishing tackle box with room for five trays, one of them is a double-height tray (so 3 regular trays and the double-height) with my dreadnaught and razorback, everything else lays down in one of the single-height tray slots with a bit of paper towel wadding. Seems to be fine so far. Terminators and bikes fit in the bigger spots. Extra trays can be purchased and swapped as needed (they're a standard size from a well-known fishing tackle brand). I bought it when it was on sale from a hardware/sport store so it wasn't too much, either.

It does seem like magnet tray backpacks are the new hotness though. Buddy of mine brings his stuff in a big plastic cabinet with a clear door and metal trays that fits into a custom fabric backpack. Shit's expensive and you don't want to be using the Tamiya Extra Thin on your model bases but it does work, basically.

>>96467353
anon, when you watch someone paint in person, do you have to do it from their POV

>>96467408
make them a single weapon spec with loads of extra shots and a sticky obkjectivers skill oh wait they already did that but people can't let go off a single heavy weapon and their nostalgia for a unit name

Apologies because I imagine this question is posted a lot

>>96465753 (OP)
Exodites, but i dont trust GW not to fuck it up.

Unrelated note, how would you guys suggest going about kitbashing twin linked assault cannon sponsions for a land raider? Gonna make one for my chapter but not sure what bits i should try to get my hands on for it, besides starting with a crusader/redeemer box that is

>>96467542
If you want to see what they're doing and learn then yeah.

>>96467529
no but srsly. Any chances of orks? i hate current combat patrol cuz i dont care about savage orks.

>>96467578
you're not getting multiple combat patrols per edition

>>96467542
Why would you ever watch someone paint in person. That sounds awful and pointless. Unless you're sitting in their lap you'd be like 3 feet away and couldn't see what they're doing

>>96467578
Savage orks are cooler than the other orks.

>>96466625
Surprised Nids are that high up

>>96467408
They're fine for non tournament play. If they survive the next edition I would rename them 'Firstborn Veterans' and give them a better save because their biggest flaw is being incredibly squishy in a very shooty edition.

I hope they make it. I like the idea, always have and would love for it to be a unit.

>>96466625
wth where are space wolves?

lads i bought myself the emperor's chidren launch box and i am looking to start buildan models. if i turn up to a game of 40k is it strict WYSIWYG? because i am noticing my dudes have a few build options here and i would love to dive right into painting because that's my favourite part of the hobby but it might be wiser to look at a potential list first?

So Dark Eldar are actually pretty good?

>>96466030

I am new to 40k and I'd like to know what's the lore behind the Imperial Aquila and Kairos Fateweaver looking alike. Is Tzeentch secretly behind the rise of the Imperium? Or did he make Kairos look like that as a caricature of the Imperium, or maybe even to sow the doubt that he's behind it all?

>>96466860
Make a full kit for a start. Pose them on terrain instead of flight stands. Give them weapon options.

By having GW admit that it was a mistake and completely dumpstering the entire thing.
Suppressors don't need a multipart kit at all. Just remove the unit.

>>96467784
it's incidental
there's no connection

similar symbols and traits can and do pop up multiple times independently

In the current (former meta) yes because they have access to mass haywire and are extremely good into the Knights and Deathguard matchups. Once Aeldari and TSons take over again they'll have a much harder time.

Go full Legacy of the Void.
Eldar have a large event where Craftworlds, Exodites, Harlequins, Ynnari, and Dark Eldar come together and deal a major blow to Slaanesh that frees them of being perpetually trapped by the soul thirst. Not a long term alliance; Harlequins. Dark Eldar, and Ynnari break back off afterwards to pursue their own agendas. Exodites and mainly absorbed into the Craftworlds, give'em a Kill Team maybe.
Eldar re-establish themselves as a major power in the galaxy while also acknowledging the mistakes of the Eldar Empire and working to prevent them (even going as far as conflicts with Dark Eldar, who are overtaken by the Haemonculi who wish to re-establish the Old Empire).
Put a significant focus on the actual rivalry between the Eldar and the Necrons as well as with Slaanesh.
And above all have Vect return as a major character and centerpiece, with an audiobook where he's voiced by John de Lancie.

that's all GW resin
my schizo take is they did this to dissuade people from cheaper third party resin options by making them think all resin is as bad as theirs

>>96468206
eh, i've had some semi-passable experience with some fineshit models, namely ones that don't require any assembly
the krootox rider is fucked because you have to combine three pieces to make a central connection (the rider's pelvis) and basically won't align without an act of god

Uncle ivan and or Chang need to get on it.

Recently got into 40k from a friend and thought world eaters looked like a good "get in and fight" army to start on.

Looking to build towards daemonkin detachment, what would a good 1000 point list be lookign like?

So far i have kharne on a zerker unit, juggerlord with crushers, 2 bloodletters units, jahkal unit, and a forgefiend. This comes to 985. Is it worth dropping or changing anything? (other than detachment, i'm aware zerker wardband is likely better, but i want to shit bloodletters on my opponents backline for free)

>>96468323
If your already going demons then get a Thirster

>>96468348
im was thinking skarbrand later when i start looking at 2k lists.

The models are expensive and £120 for one bloodthirster is a bit more than i want to spend right now when i can get three units for the same amount.

GW. Fucking sell me my pragmatic space capitalists already. For fuck sake.

>>96468401

>>96467526
Combat Patrols? Not really but Dark Eldar might get one if they don't end up squatted.

We already know it's T'au. We've seen a bunch of the new models already.

How’s gw resin? I’ve been eyeing some resin only minis and planning on just getting them for some friend’s Christmas gifts.

>>96468556
>We've seen a bunch of the new models already.
Post them. We saw nothing and you're just larping.

>>96468575
>How’s gw resin?
As long as it's not finecast, you should be okay.
Which models are you looking at?

>>96468575
If it's for bloodbowl or necromunda. Close to flawless. Anything else could be passable to horrendous depending on when it was cast, and how that individual batch turned out. If you're buying gw resin you should buy it from a gw store so you can use their customer service to get free models of yours is fucked up, or buy them in person so you can look at the model through the blister

>>96468596
Horus heresy upgrade bits. Not sure if they’re compatible with chaos space marine kits. Got a word bearer fan.

>>96468613
If they're from the past 5 years they may be okay, if they're older than that there's a good chance they'll be a little fucky

>>96468596
>>96468611
Nta but I’m eyeing the warhammer world warsmith for an iw fanboy friend. That kind of resin will be safe or is some of the five thousand leaf dollar raffle money gonna be wasted on a bad cast?

that was actually the first real instance of them doing that and they've done it in fucking everything ever since

>>96468705
Alright then. Thank you.

>>96468575
depends on if it's FW resin or GW resin.
FW resin is generally pretty good, you'll have to give it a scrub to remove the release agent, and the biggest thing you need to keep an eye out for is slips.
GW resin is a bit more iffy, I don't think there's any left being sold but if it's a resin cast of an old metal mini you can run into a few more casting issues, but most of molds made for resin are pretty alright besides little holes from air bubbles.
Either way just get resin shit from a recaster.

>>96468672
>>Raynor's endless simping for Kerrigan instead of fulfilling his vow from the end of Brood War to avenge his dead friends and killing her
Men are cursed to love women no matter how shit they are.

I just got this set and it's great and all but what the fuck is this Void Dragon sprue? Why does this nigga cost so much alone? He is on 2 small sprues and that's it. 2 small thin spread out sprues and costs more than the Daemon Prince (84$) who comes on 3 big sprues and shitload of options and bitz while the Void Dragon has just an alternative head and costs 127$ alone. WHAT THE FUCK. I'm glad I got the old Battleforce as I would never get him at that price without a bundle.

Void Dragon is a fucking scam.

>>96468636
Warhammer world exclusives are printed in such small numbers they're probably quite good

>>96468804
GW justifies high prices on unique characters because people are only going to buy only 1 so they raise the price to account for that.
it's gay.

>>96466776
Tiamet (I have some models I've been slowly working on. They'll take a back seat once again whilst I do the 2 DoW boxes)

>>96468804
>box called hypercrypt legion
>contents of box are shit in hypercrypt legion detachment
what a fucking scam

>>96468804
Void dragon is much larger. Also gw prices have never been about how much plastic you're getting. They're all over the place depending on what army they're for, of its a named character, if you're likely to buy only one, and their general role on the battle field.

>>96467848
your models are some of the best i've seen painted using just contrast paints and washes, well done

>>96468822
Qt cap

>>96468815
But come on not close to 130$ for fucking pic related.

>>96468828
At least you can get the Void Dragon for free in it but holy shit I'm so surprised.

>>96468846
He's taller because he rides the yellow-green lightning but he is much thinner and uses much less plastic. I know as I have 3 Daemon Princes. Look at pic related. That's just fucking sad. When I first got it I thought I was missing a sprue. Those are normal infantry sized sprues btw.

>>96468828
wdym, wasnt the best hypercrypt list at the time running void dragon, lychguard, and the translocator guy?

>>96468861
Oh don't worry, i think it's fucking retarded too, but that's just how GW justifies it with the R&D cost for milled molds.

>>96468804
i feel you bro, I also got that christmas box precisely because i couldn't see myself getting the Void Dragon on its own and i'm also probably gonna have to wait until they do the same box but with Nightbringer instead if i ever wanna get it

>>96467848
All of the super thinned contrast paints are so nice to work with. I love gryphcharger, skeleton horde, plaguebearer, and Briar queen chill. I keep meaning to try out dreadful visage cause I like the lilac tone it has in the pot.

>>96468730
>The Dominion picked up tons of UED tech on top of emerging as the central power in Korpulu following BW as everyone else had been
The UED was wiped out and their tech was on relative parity with Koprulu sector Terrans anway
>Only happened once, only partially, and it took literal one-time magic to pull off
That doesn't mean it wasn't bad writing

>>96468870
That's actually horrible, especially for bigger models. I know everything is overpriced and expensive but the Void Dragon is seriously pushing it way too far. I'm really glad I got that Battleforce. He looks great but if I had to buy him separately I would be seething pretty hard.

>>96468890
Nightbringer is gonna be another nightmare, huh? For a second there I thought it might be easier to get him since he's in a KT set but who am I kidding. They'll print 100 copies globally and it will sell out in 1 minute.

>>96468946
the old nightbringer is cooler anyway

>>96468915
I like dreadful visage. My sisters have purple as a main colour so I use dreadful visage to shade white details and it keeps everything unified.

>>96468543
Duke Sliscus is the Drukhari leader of the Corsairs, not Lady Malys. Malys leads a band of Harlequins and Drukhari

>>96468969

>>96468152

Showing that you care what he says, indicates that's he has already defeated you.

Started and finished my memnyr strategist tonight. Love how I can get characters done quickly. Really gives that dopamine rush I need between longer projects.
I have to say, despite my gripes with the steeljacks' role in the army I absolutely love that we have a unit of beefcakes being led by a small fry character. There's so much of the direct opposite to this that it's really unique to me.

He’s not me. I am that guy. And my point was that there is nothing wrong with wanting gw to take notes from the way plastic kits come together by the way Bandai has figured it out.
The company that prides itself in being the world’s best miniature company should be taking notes all the time.

>>96469077
That's honestly not half bad, almost comparable to the old one in value. Talos/Cronos are each worth as much as the boats that were in the old patrol, and you're still getting two squads and a character. I'd get one or two since I don't have many Coven units and really like them.

Counter-point.
Despite all flaws of the Blizzard writting it's still better than Eldar writting we've seen for the last 20 decades.

>>96469192
I think it's very funny that GW can write very good Dark Eldar and Harlequin books but shit the bed when it comes to writing Craftworld Eldar

>>96469190
Why are you here?

>>96469190
What do you recommend us 40k plebs to move to from 40k?

>>96469214
Because Eldar book was involved marines.

>>96469233
holy ESL

>>96469062
Yea, Gundam is really great. It's weird too considering the mark up for anime figures is worse than GWs.

>>96469214
Gav intentionally sabotages CWE writing because he though Eldar were too 'good' in early 40k and that Eldar players thought of Eldar as 'the good guys'.

>>96469074
I mean it is for the best that you skip this one. If you are who I think you are, you tried the nomodel card as a last desperate gamble and the autist responded with old metals and a time stamp.

>>96469146
Neat

>>96469272
what is this schizo even talking about

>>96469241
I don't believe this because the two Harlequin audio books written by Gav portray the Harlequins as unquestionably good and heroic to the point where they free slaves and spare surrendering humans

He said a bunch of stuff about modern kits that was blatantly wrong, people called him retarded for talking about shit he had no experience with, then he admitted to having no experience with modern kits, then people showed him the intercessors instructions and he conceded his point and everyone walked away after that.

>>96469314
>Bandai kits can be filled with sprues because-
Bandai kits were already riddled with sprues long before they merged with Namco and became a multimedia empire. Pic related is the contents of a kit from 2001 that includes
>29 runners that creates a 32cm tall robot when you're done
>Separate metal parts for the waist and legs
>Screws to ensure sturdy assembly
>LED lights in the head and torso
All for the low price of 15000 yen, which is technically a little bit over $100 going by exchange rate but due to all the tariff stuff and the size of the model's box it usually goes for $160-180.

I mean fuck, they're still printing models that released in the 80s and selling them for the exact same yen prices they were over 40 years ago while GW's made-to-order stuff is always charging modern model prices for 30+ year old metal molds. Just look at them charging $40 for the old-ass metal Eldrad Ulthran mini from all the way back in 2nd edition while they're charging $37 for the current model for example.

It's got nothing to do with the Namco side of things, it's solely that they've perfected the art of injection molding decades ago while other manufacturers can barely keep up in both production quality and quantity.

hello can someone give me a qrd of the new squats codex? did they get any new vehicles that don't look like lego shit? are their railguns still 18" range?

>>96469399
I only skimmed through that debacle, but I'll admit it was funny when he beat the nomodel accusations, and as far as I know revisiting the 4plebs link, the accusers went real quiet.

>>96469306
the robot is fully poseable and isn't even painted. if you want to change the demon's pose you have to cut it's limbs off and glue them back on different.

>>96469407
Away fine let's discount what they're doing right now to focus on where they were at 20-30 years ago. Gundam was the most popular animated cartoon in Japan for almost 10-15 years. It was more popular than teenage mutant ninja turtles, transformers, gi joe and heman combined. For 40 years they have been balancing their prices and margins across all their products and every year gain a snowballing amount of IPs. Bandai has been such a giant for so long that there is absolutely no point in comparing them. The only reason they have the money to pour into injection moulding tech is because their IPs are so plentiful and all of them are super profitable. Gw doesn't come even close to selling as well as bandais worst performing IP

>>96469428
Owning models doesn't mean you can just say absolute fabrications without being corrected. The fact that the only thing you got out of that whole discussion was his ebin pwning shows you're just shitstirring right now

>>96469438
but warhammer fans told me that 40k is way more popular than gundam and everyone around the world knows about space marines and the emperor of mankind while only weeaboos know about cartoon robots

>>96469306
That's more in part due to poor posing on anon's part. Bro posed it as if it's taking a fat dumpy.

>>96469438
>Gw doesn't come even close to selling as well as bandais worst performing IP
Wow so GW even with being like top 80 biggest companies in the whole UK is still too poor to buy/make the injection molding tech Bandai has? damn never knew they would be that expensive

>>96469434
I can drop a handful of space marines on a concrete floor and they'll bounce. If I drop an hg or God forbid a pg on a concrete floor it will fucking explode. See, anyone can make comparisons between things that don't have much in common. They're for different things. You don't pick up and move a gundam kit hundreds of times. If you were to try and transport and play with a gunpla kit for as long as you'd play with a miniature, the gunpla would slowly crumble into nothingness

>>96469382
No, US trade law is pushing GW to secure other markets. China enforces copyright somewhat fine, its just most western companies dont know or care what goes on there. Theres a reason knockoff sonic backpacks get mass produced but not literal BMWs.

>>96469446

>>96469463
I just wanted to him to swing his axe while defending :(

>>96469466
The shit Bandai is doing is stuff that when it came out, I showed a milling guy at my work what the sprues were like and he looked me in the eye and told me they were photoshops and that it was impossible. Hed been doing milling and die work for 40 years. When I brought one of the sprues with multicolored plastic on the same sprue he sat and stared at it for 3 hours scratching his head and then a month later went back to school.

>>96469476
why would you drop your toys on the ground? plus gundams are designed to be played with. the only thing that might wear out are the joints, but warhammer models don't even have joints so you could permanently glue them in place and still come out ahead.
