Why hasn't GW released Genestealer Marines, not that I want them to do this, but it seems like money for them.

>>96469456
>hello can someone give me a qrd of the new squats codex?
GW got rid of judgement tokens and gave them yield points they gain for taking and holding objectives that they can spend on various buffs and abilities. They start the game with +1 to hit on enemies who are standing on an objective (and re-roll charges) and then once they go over 7 yield points they switch to +1 to hit if you're standing on an objective (and the whole "-1 to wound if STR > toughness" thing)
>did they get any new vehicles that don't look like lego shit?
They got one new dual-kit vehicle. It looks like a sagitaur with hover pads and a gun on top - if that's lego shit to you then it is what it is.
>are their railguns still 18" range?
The handheld rail rifles are still 18" range but vehicle mounted ones are 24-36" depending on the platform.

Disregard secondaries, post models.

>What is the most uncomfortable truth relating to 40k and the hobby you can bear to tell us?
Most people don't have fun painting minis. I wish it wasn't true, and I wish there was some way to intro new people to all the info and techniques in a way that cultivates joy and minimizes fear/apprehension/and feelings of inferiority.

>>96469507
damn I looked up the new stuff and it all has the obnoxious age of smegmar naming. did they not get the jetpack guys from the kill team as a unit? I sort of like the idea behind the faction and even some of the aesthetic, but everything about their execution seems half baked.

>>96469511
Hell yea king, nice models

>>96469511
Postan a lad

>>96469536
Everything has the obnoxious Sigmar naming conventions now. Just how it goes with GW unfortunately. Personally I love most of the Votann stuff minus the cthonian units not having proper beards, but that was an easy enough fix. That being said they definitely do need more, but then again so do like half the armies in the game. GW went on a massive push these last few years to make a bunch of new armies and then gave them fuck all and told people to wait on a second wave. It's so shitty.

>>96469511
My first ever painted model. I know he's painted rather poorly but it gave me much joy to see him in the recent thread collage. Joy and confidence to keep on painting.

>>96469536
I wish your post was less obnoxious and less obvious that you were just looking to complain

>>96469511

We are all damned to be branded the worst labels among the 40k fanbase for the crime of being able to say what we please and freely express our opinions.

>thread theme
Hey that’s pretty fitting for the word bearers honestly.
Thread themes should be a thing.
Also because it is madness I feel the expiration of my own mortality encroaching at 26.

>>96469445 (OP)
The vast majority of the playerbase likes Marines and is happy with how things are. Im simply the minority and I can leave at any time but choose to stay anyway

I haven't taken any progress pics recently, so here's some Tyranid tunnel markers I was working on last week.

>>96469556
Honestly anon, this is good enough for me to have a hard time believing it was your first model. Everywhere is pretty tidy aside from the bone on his one greaves, but that little detail does look like you'd have to fuss over it

>>96469553
maybe I'm just being bitter but it seems to me like the faction is being cockblocked from achieving the obvious identity it should have because they don't want to upstage marinebabies. in fantasy dwarfs are known for having good armor and advanced technology, but votann have worse power armor than marines and their technology doesn't seem any better than primaris shit. I know their original codex was busted and had to be nerfed before it was even released, but now they just feel like a castrated faction trying to find a new niche.

>>96469557
what crawled up your ass and died?

>>96469575
This might be the only example of modeling using those processed cork sheets that I've actually liked.

>>96469578
Thanks but yeah this was my first model of my first army. Maybe he doesn't look that bad but he was a mistake after mistake which I desperately tried to fix. I think I screwed up every single color I used on him and had to correct it. The leg does look bad I probably should touch it up. I finished him right before the deadline fot the collage so I missed some things. I had a lot of fun though. Those guys are next and then the Daemon Prince from the Combat Patrol.

>>96469625
>he was a mistake after mistake
Yeah that's what first models are. But every mistake you made and had to fix is something you're now aware of and can touch on in the future.
>The leg does look bad I probably should touch it up
I don't think it's bad enough to bother touching up, like it's slightly noticeable in a picture but wouldn't be in person unless I was looking at him from 6 inches away, let alone table top length.
>I had a lot of fun though
Mission accomplished
>Those guys are next and then the Daemon Prince from the Combat Patrol.
Have fun lad, looking forward to seeing more

>buy the datasheet cards for my army because I just wanted the rules in a convenient to carry/use format which is the whole point of datasheet cards and I remember the index card packs being good for exactly this purpose

My bad GW, I made the mistake of ever buying physical rules from you instead of just pirating them. Thanks for reminding me why - won't happen again.

>>96469660
>doesn't come with a sleeve to hold the cards either like the index cards did, just a shitty box
I think I'd rather have the box imo, I hate the sleeves. They get so fucked up over the span of an edition. The other criticisms you raised are totally fair though.

>>96469590
I mostly use them for building up volume, but when they work, they work. Sometimes, I feel like I'm spending so much time making the cork not look like cork that I should just use something else.

>>96469445 (OP)
>What is the most uncomfortable truth relating to 40k and the hobby you can bear to tell us?
I often feel shame for being an Eldar fan due to the general opinions I see on Eldar, to the point where I'm not even sure if they're right and I'm wrong.

>>96469511
Painted a head.

>>96469746
>Sometimes, I feel like I'm spending so much time making the cork not look like cork
have you considered cork? you can find the raw stuff at reptile/terrarium supply stores

>>96469556
It makes me really happy the collage is motivating people, especially newfrens. Great model anon.

>>96469660
>cards only come with the army rule, not any of the detachments
lol, retard. Those cards were released at the start of 10th when nothing had a codex.

>>96469811
Not those ones, downie. The ones that release alongside the codex.

>>96469222

Finished my dreads last week, haven't been able to pain since then

Got a 10 hour trip coming up, what audiobooks does /tg/ recommend? Already listened to Son of the Forest. Mega links would also be appreciated

>>96469831
You don't need to drag your tourist nonsense from one thread to the next, nobody was going to notice if you didn't necropost

what do you bros use for storage? ive got so much hobby related shit, bits and models that i need to come up with a way to store it all properly. im just gonna chuck all my sprues into a big container and when i get time take each bit off individually and put them into compartments but dont know how to store all of these models without damaging them

>>96469842
Being retarded is truly bliss

>>96469445 (OP)
How much do you all think I could sell an assembled and primed recast thunderhawk transport for? I was thinking a few hundred, but it's so rare that not even recasters have moulds for it anymore.

>>96469845
i did, actually, i'm under contractual obligation for the next five seconds
after that i'm free

I got a monopose tactical squad off ebay and I'm thinking of running them in one of the tiny early plastic rhinos to clown car them out. Should I base it to the dimensions of a regular rhino to be polite or should I not care?

>>96469870
Forgot pic. I'm magnetizing the windshield and trying to fix the panes

>>96469877
I’ll give you ten bucks

>>96469883
Fuck ya mudda

>>96469877
>>96469870
the old one? idk man thats weird. its so obscure that a recast is probably just as unavailable but obviously not worth "as much".

>WB thread
Guess now is the best time to ask: what the hell is up with CSM gameplay-wise right now? I thought they'd still be rocking weird-ass Cypher/Fabulous Bill but now it looks like they've moved to even dumber lists than that with cultist spam even outside of Chaos Cult.

>>96469889
tldr?
>GW makes legionaries too expensive
>people need battleline to do objectives properly
>cultists are cheap and sticky objs

>>96469870
>but it's so rare that not even recasters have moulds for it anymore.
Probably depends on your recaster. Mine (the table) apparently still sells them.

>>96469900
>the table
I am aware of that seller. How is the quality?

Hear me out anons, what about xenos worshipping space marines? Half of them fall to chaos so it's not a stretch for a few chapters to fall/ get mindbroken into worshipping some stange and powerful xenos

>>96469900
He only has gunships, not the transporter

>>96469852
Foam cases if they're fairly round minis like marines, magnet trays for sharp pokey models like deldar. Labeled office printer paper boxes for sprues, organized by army. Labeled ziplocs for loose bits. Stanley flat tool cases with foam glued in for washes/contrasts to hold them secure. Gw hobby cases for paints. Raspberry jam jars for basing grit, freezer ziplocs for cork and cedar bark. Brush wallet for brushes. 3 ring binder for instruction manuals. Duotang layered with baking paper for transfers. And that's about it. I'm thinking of chopping up all my codexes and core books and throwing the rules pages in a binder that I can swap in errata sheets and faqs as well, and then rebinding all the lore pages for each edition into one giant fluff bible

>>96469923
I'm a bit surprised that there isn't a chapter that was mentally dominated by a xenos psyker to be its lackies

>>96469900
uhhh link PLEASE for the love of all that is holy

>>96469905
It really depends on the model from my experience. I bought a bunch of stuff from them recently (2 sagitaurs and a land fort for my Votann and a norn emissary and zoanthropes for my wife's nids) and while the nid stuff came out pristine, the votann vehicles were a little shoddy and needed some cleanup. It looks like there was definitely a mold slip on the vehicles in some spots that didn't exist on the nids at all, and it took a decent amount of scraping away at them to get them back down. The nid stuff on the other hand is basically indistinguishable from the original kits.

>>96469923
>>96469939
no because the writers are too busy furiously masturbating to chaos to write something like that

>>96469934
dont ruin the books, why not just scan the pages, that way you can even manually add erattas.

>>96469889
Cheap shit wins games. You still at least have the other mainstays in most lists like Nurgle vehicles, Chosen, bikers, et cetera with other new things like the new Noise Marines and Vashtorr being an easy pick for armies with 6+ vehicles of any sort.

>>96469877
That cast looks really really rough. I'd probably give a friend like 100 bucks for it, but I it's so big, and requires so much repair that I don't think I could justify paying more. Also post that BT lev fucker he looks cool

>>96469923
You're asking for the old GW level of world building. That was 40 years ago

>>96469941
Nice try james. You just dragged Z into the streets in cuffs and are charging him 5 years of his earnings and he's probably going to jail.

>>96469934
thats quite a detailed list, thanks anon!

>>96469964
I'm a thread regular that just really wants a cheap thunderhawk to cut up and modify...

>>96469941
Nta(I'm the thunderhawk transport anon) but I don't think they should. I'm not schizo enough to believe gw lurks here, but I know it could be plausible. However, I know waaaaaaay too many goodie two shoes "errm... you need to play with REAL models" types, and the types who are snitches just for fun.

>>96469949
It's not ruining them if I'm happy with it. You could say the same about converting stuff, you could just print a completely new model or scan rather than cut one up. Also it would cost me an arm and a leg to print out all the pages on high gloss when I've got the books already. There's nothing the book does for me together that it also can't do split up, and functionally for me it makes more sense to split them up. Also you didn't read, I can manually add erratas even if I split the books, that's the whole point

For this month's collage I'm thinking of picking up the AoS Sorceror Lord and converting it like picrel, do you reckon it works as a CSM Sorcerer?

>>96469843
Not 40K but I reccomend the Prince Roger books. March to the Sea is pretty great. I’m a sucker for David Weber.
>>96469511
The only WB guy I know has switched to chaos knights lately or I’d find a game pic.

>>96469971
I get it. I don't really want to see more of them disappear though and they seem to be cracking down really hard rn. If I found out that I made a post here that got a guy thrown in jail and split up from his family I would be utterly distraught, and could never forgive myself

>>96469978
Yeah, looks good to me.

>>96469971
I'll sell you mine for $500 cheaper than gw
>$400 firm I know what I got

>>96469978

>>96469964
not in jail but I have it on good authority he has to report daily to a political office

>>96469978
You should dig through dnd tutorials to find one for spellbooks and have him standing on a big pile of them and them glue an arm reaching out of one and trying to crawl away

>>96469985
if there was a safe way to arrange a sale without doxxing myself I'd take that deal 100%. way better than the like $1300 leafbux James is charging here.

>>96469982
yeah.. just sucks

Just being silly. I was doing the horus speech

>>96469957
Oh yeah. The leviathan. The one they made plastic models for. Right before putting them in legends/legacy(can't remember) :') I magnetized the arms and then just quit

>>96469877
God, I love heavy lift variants of gunships so much. It just so happens that when the Valkyrie Sky Talon was available, I was either broke or decided I had given up the hobby, and got back in witht he perfect timing of it had just been discontinued and any kits available for sale are NO LOWBALLERS I KNOW WHAT I HAVE.

>>96469843
I like classic sci fi:

>>96470133
>tl;dr incoming
I had a legit one from FW back when I still had my DG. Sold it all because of covid, the mid 9e rules change, and the "current models" rule. I used it ever since late 7th. I didn't chaosify it, either. I made it look like a DG relic. I focused back on my original BT army once I got on my feet again after lockdowns, but the game changed so much in such a little amount of time. I'm just trying to get rid of all this for an engagement ring, and I hold no love for 40k anymore, and i know if i tell myself to paint them, theyre just going to collect more dust. I might keep my last OG crusader squad and OG grimaldus and box dread and just use them in my nerd display stuff. Had those since the original Armageddon set when I was 7.

>>96469923
Chaos wank is in full motion.
But the real reason is that space marines have hatred against xenos hard coded in. They were made to kill aliens. Chaos was not part of the plan, basically, so half of space marines got "blindsided" and fell to chaos anyway.
Chaos space marines may be traitors, but they still despise aliens as much.

Have you ever made up your own space marine chapter? The idea seems sorta fun but I'm awful at coming up with any sort of crest design.

>>96469900
>$269 for a bootleg
are you shitting me

>>96470154
do you know how expensive the real thing is
do you know how fuckhuge a thunderhawk is

>>96470154
They charge it based on its weight iirc

>>96470156
I don't know how much gw is ripping people off but I'm pretty sure you can buy a real, flying drone for not much more than that fake one.

>>96470149
Well I wish you luck on the engagement lad. Maybe one day you'll join back in the hobby but if not I hope you'll have a couple guys to look back on fondly and remember the parts of the hobby you had fun with

>>96470164
the real thing is 1400 dollars
270 dollars is barely even recovering the cost of the resin unless they're using REALLY cheap shitty material

>>96470164
It weighs like 5 pounds. And is the size of a small toddler

>>96470154
Add a decimal place and you're close to what a real one might cost if you can find it. The lowest I've ever seen a legit GW Thunderhawk sell for is $575 and that's because it was the HH version. Not terribly different in terms of model sculpt, but it is noticeable.

>>96470173
wouldn't it be cheaper to make it out of polystyrene sheets so it's mostly hollow like how they made star wars ship props?

>>96470154
It's always been about 50% of the original since I can remember. That's my 80iq take anyway.
>>96470167
>hopefully youll have a couple of guys to look back on fondly
That's the thing, too. My original 40k friend group could never be replaced. The closest was when I got my old fire crew into the hobby, but I saw them fall to CH--consooomerism.. my crew lead had been in it since 2nd, though, so he was ancient compared to me. Unfortunately, my new hobby is bonsai/yamadori. And it works well with my future wife's fish/frog stuff. Shit... I did turn into nurgle. Fuck.

Thanks for the well-wishes. Hope things go well for you.

You two should check out some of the dart frog species if you two are big on Viv/paludarium stuff. I did them for a few years and it was a blast. Bumblebee walking toads are also insanely fun and they've got some cool morphs these days

>>96469905
NTA but it's the one I've been ordering from for years and not a single bad experience so far.

>>96469589
Where did you get that picture from? I could swear thats in a display case in a Warhammer store right near me.

>>96470250
I like to think that these guys are just nerds that want to do study magic and grow additional limbs but someone keeps bothering them to go fight shit

>>96469889
CSM will basically always spam cultists when it's available. Point for point they're just better than legionaries for their intended purpose (sitting on an objective, screening, or blocking bullets for someone more important). Legionaries in my experience do put some work in if you kit them out for melee though, especially in pactbound zealots where you can give them mark of Khorne to really let them swing above their weight class.

>>96470189
You can look up the guy that did just that with a tau manta.
But the main diffference is that with a resin cast is that once you have the moulds you don't have to worry about much beyond making sure the resin cures properly and the mould dosent slip, compared to a polystyrene creation that would have to take many manhours to make and would probably still costing more than $300 in labour alone.

>>96470189
Probably but it'd be nowhere near as durable.

>>96470194

Decided to start painting this thing again

>>96470796
With pleasure. Its Vallejo old gold as base.
Then I did 1/3 biel tan green wash with 2/3 agrax eartshade was. Put the was on the receses.
Put the old gold on the raised areas, because the wash dulls the shine a bit too much.
Then just bright silver, whichever really like Runefang steel, for the tips.

Here's some of the gold close up.

>>96470827
They announce them in oct and sell them in nov, it's fine to start guessing

When do we get more Horus Heresy reveals?

Brad Pitt is one of the most famous actors in the world, of course they would want him if they can get him, assuming they have the budget. Which they probably do if they're spending Amazon money.

MeToo is done. Everyone got woke fatigue. Also weird how no good looking actor got cancelled by MeToo, only the ugly or old ones.

There's like a 0% chance GW doesn't remake this model at some point for like a Blackstone Fortress 2 or something, right? They're really keen on baiting both nostalgia and memes.

>>96470951
Arguably there's no reason to make them.
At best they'll put Jokaero into the Imperial Agents codex. But that thing is already a fucking joke so I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

>>96470951
Theres no real memes about the apes, i think barely anyone remembers they exist since they have not appeared in anything in a decade

>>96470955
They've had them on warcom art and in that weird kids book series, haven't they?

>>96470957
yeah they show up in the novels occasionally.

>>96470957
And that's about it. Jokaero are just a novelty really.

>>96470973
I mean, so were squats for like 30 years

>>96470977
And squats only appear in necromunda
Hopefully the apes can get in there too

>>96470977
Squats at least used to be a proper faction before GW swept them under the rug for 30 years before reviving them.
Jokaero have always been a novelty, just something that exists.

>>96470982
Seethe about votrans aside, a iokaero tekpet wouldn't be out of place in Necromunda
>>96470984
And people (all 5 of us) aren't exactly asking for a jokaero faction, as funny as that'd be. Just a model or three, nit that I really expect even that much.

Anyone know the height difference between the Cataphracti and new terminator minis?

>>96471004
>Just a model or three, nit that I really expect even that much.
I know, but at best those would be shoved into the Imperial Agents codex, but even that is stretching it seeing that Jokaero are xenos. Also the entire codex is a mess anyway.

I have a 1k tourney coming up at the end of the month. Bought a Houndpack Lance box a bit before the tourney was announced, so I thought it'd be fitting to bring them in. For a 1k Tourney(that in my local meta, tends to be vehicle heavy), how this look?

What are you basing this on? I refuse to believe this to be true, why would you spend quite a bit of time on something you don't actually enjoy? A lot of people can draw satisfaction from getting better at a skill and doing something a little bit creative. That's not to mention the satisfaction of completing a project.

Why are the magazines on Belial's storm bolter weirdly offset?
Why not just have a normal looking sickle magazine, or a box magazine or a drum mag.

Polishing home roolz for our HRz Bible, working on Craftworld Eldars rn.

- What's special about specific craftwords? Does anyone have some fun rules, be it official or fanmade that adds to player Eldars (even against Eldars)?

Currently the way Eldar subfactions work here:
Pick a single Craftworld. Your Craftworld allows you access to unique Units/Wargear, and if they have an associated aspect shrine they can take these as troops (We're using the oldschool percentages: 25% min as troops, 50% max as characters, 50% max as support/elite.).

Eldar also lose double points for losses: if a model costs 50 pts, it's 100 pts for losses, meaning if both armies get wiped in a 1k game, the eldar player has 1k points, while the opposing player has 2k. I think people can guess why we made that rule a thing.

It works good here because we're in a friendly, easy quick-fix setting, but what do you think anons?

>>96469445 (OP)
>>Thread Question:
>What is the most uncomfortable truth relating to 40k and the hobby you can bear to tell us?

An incredible amount of people are going to think you're super fucking weird and that it's not a real hobby. We're engaging in really fun escapism that others will see as childish unfortunately. Most ITT have thousands of hours painting alone listening to lore or music. You're rolling dice and playing army men with your painted toys. Wait - get this: My Aunt thinks I'm weird because I have a few IKEA cases of minis. She has snow babies in china cabinets in comparison. People have a hard time "Seeing" the hobby correctly or understanding that I like to imagine and escape into the hobby. I've been going through Ian Arbitor's stuff on youtube while painting a new army and this is all I want to do for the next few months. It's a lot of solo enjoyment but I can't find anything like it in another hobby or video game. It's what does it for me - but a stack of people seem to think it's weird I spend my weekends at the shop.

>>96469528
I enjoy terrain. It's relaxing and low stress. You can mess up and still save the piece.

Minipainting is a grind since I'm on 3000+ minis at this point

>>96471348
They just look like that sometimes. I dunno why.

>>96471277
Nta but a few threads ago I asked jokingly about why there was so many videos about speed painting, like finishing armies in a day or a mini in one hour. "What, are there people who like assembling and playing but not painting?"
I got like 5 replies saying Yes. Nobody said No.

There are a lot of people, even here, who like 40k, except painting. It is what it is man.

>>96471348
They're offset when it's double sickle mags, unless we're talking really oldhammer, then it's on on the top upside down and one horizontal on the side.

Me I like the offset mags, I like to imagine the gun has delayed firing, the first barrel fires then the second, double tap. In full auto you'd get 1 first shot then the second would be in sync with the third, etc.

>>96471431
I feel like the paradox here is that people that actually like painting and take it to a higher level usually don't much care about the game. There's an anon in /wip/ that paints the best black templars you've ever seen and I remember him saying he has 0 interest in ever playing tabletop.

>>96470951
They're a GW IP, they'll come back at some point, especially since they had a mini. Looking at the BSF Zoat rn.

>>96471436
just in time

>>96471462
It does make sense, there's gotta be more people who like one specific aspect compared to people who like all parts.

You might like cooking, someone might like eating, but there's less people that like doing both, especially when one takes more effort.

And 40k isn't 2 sides. So it's an even smaller portion of people who like all of these at once.

>>96471270

This is why they make paint-on-primer anon. Its fixable.

>>96471431
Painting is the longest and hardest step of the hobby. If you don't have a "journey over destination" mindset it can be very frustrating. Add to that the fact that 40k players invariably buy faster than they hobby means that the pile of shame is daunting on its own

>>96471522
I KNEEL

>>96471277
I like painting the same way I like going to the gym: my lazy ass wants to put it off and I have to psych myself up for it, but the time spent on it is (almost) always satisfying. Unfortunately it's also easy for me to fall iff the painting bandwagon if I don't keep myself on it, which just compounds the problem

>>96471554
I mean, how did you end up wanting them in the first place if you don't like such a big part of their visual design? I really dig these things myself.

>>96471563
It's pretty hard, that's why I do have a pile of shame.
I always saw 40k as a hobby, I was fascinated by my late grandfather's electric train set-up and the things I'd see in White Dwarf magazines.
Painting and hobbying as a whole is scary and difficult, but I don't see that mountain and pest at it or try to find shortcuts.

That's also why I think consumers and bootlickers are very sad people, rather than try and grow up and make things better for everyone, they want the easy way out yet nobody can remind them that they are taking it.
I think it's pretty telling that most trolling here is done by that kind of people or with those kinds of opinions, merely pretending or not.

Nah. If it doesnt have a model anymore it wont be in new media. Thats been GW's policy forever. I think SM2 actually did a lot of damage to chaos armies. We're probably not getting a hellbrute update for a long time now because that model is in such a popular videogame.

Dark Eldar (and Eldar in general) have one big issue. They just elves (and not even cool ones), so none takes them seriously, nor writters, nor the audience.

Crusade game against space wolves. Juiced up beastboss wiped the brutalis on his own, and the boyz nearly killed Bjorn in one go

>They updated the 1st Company Detachment for Space Marines with Lysander’s release
>it has special rules if you bring Lysander/run Imperial Fists characters
Character focused detachments have me conflicted. They’re cool in theory but seem too niche unless you really like the character. If James Workshop released tons of them perhaps it’d be a more welcome addition personally.

>>96472234

>>96472256
They need to sell basic looking marine character models at £25+ somehow.

>>96472214
Templars vs Dark Angels.
Got trashed by Lionel and a misunderstanding of some rules.

>>96472214
I have not played since 8th edition

>>96472226
Yeah, wish I had his bodyguard but they're quite rare. Maybe I should take the opportunity to kitbash some for the collage. Was planning on making something else but I'm kinda in a csm mood now.

>>96472187
>Having codex =/= being a popular
Having a codex = being popular enough to be profitable. GW isn't in it for the love of the game.

Where are all the tentacles of toothy maws on the plague marine?

>>96472292
>kitbash some
If one day you get the original minis, it'll just mean you'll have more bodyguards, different ones at that...

>>96472005
some faggots are real fucking crybabys like the bitch snitch i played yesterday

>>96472342

>>96472369
Well I used to think SMs are just Blood Ravens. Give it time.

>>96472221
>not playing against unpainted armies anymore
This is a perfectly reasonable line in the sand. There is an expectation that some basic level of effort is to be put into the painting side of the hobby. I'm fine with unpainted stuff if it is a new player, but that's the only time it's acceptable.

>>96472342
Also it'd be nice if the hi-res spawns were ripped and turned printable.

>>96472369
>sm2 has cosmetic packs for various loyalists and heretics and appreciably robust customization options
???
I think you're just inventing things to get upset about

>>96472425
This is literally the kit

>>96472399
I have it on good authority that people who refuse to paint their armies will burn in hell for eternity.

>>96472425
I dont think they'd be good miniatures unless you scale up them to be the size of a greater daemon. Too high detail, maybe if you passed over them in blender with a smoothening brush

>>96472425
Anon...That is a 1:1 addition

Thoughts on an army that is 90% painted but there is one or two units not completed

>>96472430
There's a much higher level of detail present on the in-game model.

>>96472428
Most normies just play the campaign without customising anything

>>96472452
Hand or foot, you decide

>>96472430
>>96472449
Ceci n'est pas une pipe

>>96472264
That Chronos got shot to shit by a death jester, he's got every reason to be sad.

I can't tell you how much joy I get seeing the box slowly filling up with painted models. It's euphoric

>>96472490
The dark blue base was an excellent choice

>>96472468
>The campaign forces you to play multiplayer
>even if you don't customize others will

I don't think you've actually played SM2, let alone talked to anyone who has

>>96472490
>votrans
Gender euphoric, no doubt!
Jk jk, I'm loving the models. I've been considering doing a blue desert base for my own army, still need to make up my mind how I wanna base em all.

>>96472535
NTA I beat the campaign and never touched it again I had a vague idea there was some multiplayer and customisation but never looked into it

>>96472587
NTA but I played it a ton to unlock all the colore for /mydudes/.
Its a lot of fun fighting xenos as heretics as one of /my guys/

I hate Space Marines.

>>96470364
That one hurt, anon.

>>96472648
Average Eldar player

>>96472369
And then theres you who's played no tabletop games but hey at least you know what a Dark Angel is

>>96472653
There are no Eldar Marines that get five codeices, while the Eldar only exists as scatterred units in their army.
Xenos players complaining about Space Marines don't know what suffering is.

>>96472048
Dark Eldar are hardly just elves unless you consider Vampire Pirate Science War Crimes Slaver Carthaginians are just Elves

So the Kromlech bikes I had since about 2018 were part of this decision. I got 120 mk2 marines from ebay for 300+tax(+6 command sprues). Got me a 3set of special weapons, including the rotary guns for chaincannons.

My old repurposed berzerkers/old termies into possessed using skulls I got off a friend were an old project. Tentacle technovirus inspired.

Will have to buy a few more kromlech bikes because a few dudes are apothecary/techmarine based. Which I'll repurpose those backpacks into warpsmith/other dudes later.

This should be a fun final project. After the Spider army. After the Terminator army. After the Tyranid army. After the flame blood angel army(new).

Terminator army might get sold. Really not feeling a terminator army, so I might zenithal coat them and sell them. For about... The entire cost of all the stuff I got for cheap. (2000 bucks)

Shit feels complete for the most part. Just casually grinding out the minis when I get time and steam, powering out the spider army showed me I need to slow down a fair bit.

>>96472048

>>96472907
I have a decent start but I'm thinking about switching to something else.

>>96472929
I've got two options atm, one that is a full silly kitbash and another which is just adding a few things to a vehicle, not really much of a kitbash

>>96472998
Its always helbrutes and forgefiends with those red spiky assholes isnt it

>>96472927
ah yes of course, I get belligerent about eldar posts but no of course I don't play them!
a 40kg classic

>>96473008
There’s a reason beyond “lmao melta” I have 12 eradicators in my main list. He helbrute absolutely fucks too so it needs to go down fast. Forgefiends are a bigger problem but having a range greater than 18” is for pussies anyway.

>>96473009
maybe if autists like you wouldn't shitpost about eldar every single fucking thread people wouldn't be sick of it, just a thought

>>96473036
12 eradicators? God you're no fun at all.

Does the eldar hate stem from bullshit like wave serpent + fire dragons + star engines = JUSTed vehicle / monster?

>>96473036
I remember playing against a sally army and I hit his eradicators with a fuck tonne of rokkits and shit himself when I said it was all a flat 3 damage. Fuckers destroyed my battlewagon they deserved it

Based.

>>96473195
Yeah that's most likely the case. I think even a kid will watch a tutorial or two before he paints his first mini.

>>96472624
I have this box its kino asf.

how do you play guard without it defaulting into a gunline army which is a snoozefest to play
most of the roster doesn't want to get stuck in aside from like... rough riders or bullgryns

>>96473211
notice how he still has chaos worship icons all over him and isn't just a vanilla MK3 marine?

>>96473203
That's (you) thoughbeit

>>96473332
I'm not talking about chaos icons, only mutations.

>>96473346
did you fail to notice that none of the chaos marines in SM2 have mutations

>>96473195
The baseline skill level of the first time painters is now light-years beyond what it was two decades agom

>>96473195
i weep when i look back at the guys i started with in the era before youtube

I don't thin my paints

>>96473381
I must've watched like 50 different tutorials before I started painting my first mini after a ~10 year break

>>96472693
So because of the topography, I have to hand prime the models. The legs wont let me spray even coats, and the black I sprayed on was chipping off by just airflow. So I had to keep models for 48 hours in a soap bath. I just dried off the first batch after a good rinse.

The gray primer is mixed with leveling medium, and water and splotched on with the pooling taken out and then let to dry. Gray primer is easier for me because its not so shiny when I go to apply so I miss fewer spots. Just concerned about the rubbing spots. This seems to keep on the model and I hope the paint will stick to it and stay.

>>96473403
May god have mercy on your sovl

>>96473405
Cool to see these guys getting painted

>>96473427

>>96473435
>>96473427
I was itching the entire time I was trying the "severa days drying" method and I was kicking myself because I could've just done this ... 5 days ago? I'm going to work in a few hours and I'm still pounding this out. Second batch needs to soak for a few days so these 60-ish guys will get some love.

>>96473330

I heard genestealers don't actually have sex with the cultists and that it's a secondary meme and not real fluff. Is this true?

>>96473461
i'm still assblasted that instead of getting jetpack infantry we just got slightly different scions
and aquilons don't particularly want to get in melee either though i guess

>>96473490
even with this photo being out of focus I can tell this isn't true

>>96473362
I don't care.

>>96473490
looks good

>>96472342
What legion is the Chaos Techmarine (heretekmarine?) gonna belong to since Iron Warriors are already the heavy? Some cringey Cog of Vaushtor marine?

>>96473403
I rarely do, only when the paints I'm using are particularly thick.

>>96473403
You don't wash your ass either.

>>96473330
That's kinda the point of IG though isn't it? If you want a mix of shooting and melee you'd need to do something filthy like bring allied Knights. Either that or flood the board with Conscripts intending to bayonet charge as soon as possible. Are Conscript squads still an option?

>>96473580
There are no 'cog of Vashtorr' marines. His followers have been... Black Legion and Iron Warriors I think.

>>96473618
>Are Conscript squads still an option?
Not for like... 5 years.

obsessive thinning is part of the reason so many people find painting white so difficult.

Restock votann you cowards.

>>96473648
Whites and yellows are a bitch regardless

>>96473604
I think a lot of people that use mainly citadel don't realize that certain brands like AK don't need to be thinned at all

>>96473648
Thinning whites?

>>96473403
What IS a thin paint?
I just scoop from the pot with my brush, dab it once quickly in water, then put it on my (often dried out) "wet" palette.
Then I just pull and twist my brush. I dont bother with water ratios, "milky" consistency, multiple thin coats etc.
I do multiple coats if I must, but if I get coverage from the first coat, I dont try to do more coats.

>>96473658
Learning to paint properly thinned whites is an important part of learning how to properly layer and to consider the impact of your primer color for new painters.

>>96473662
It's why when someone asks me for advice on painting my first question is what paints they're using, and something I always try to tell people is just as important as thinning paints overall is not overloading their brushes. Too many times I've seen people on paint night at the LGS thin their paints using various mediums and then chunk it onto their brush like they're trying to paint the whole model without reloading their paintbrush.

>>96473672
Frankly: Paint to any consistency that gets acceptable coverage while not obscuring features.

>>96473662
>that certain brands like AK don't need to be thinned at all
I put my Ak paints on the wet palette and thin them a little bit on said wet palette before applying them to the model. Have I really been using those paints wrong?

>>96473712
Nah if you didn't overthin them it's all good. Do try using them straight out of the bottle sometime tho

>>96473677
I primed my mini white, then grey, and when those ran out, I used some leadbelcher primer that I got hanging around.
It changed nothing to my mini.
I prime white to paint black too, since it lets me see where I already painted easier, not for some color layer theory.
Also I prime the sprue, and remove the mould lines after priming, scraping a bit of prime. It doesn't seem to impact the paintjob.

>>96473712
no

>>96473712
most modern paints it's just personal preference. over the years manufacturers have moved towards thinner airbrush-friendly consistency out of the bottle because it's cheaper to make.

>>96473720
>Also I prime the sprue, and remove the mould lines after priming, scraping a bit of prime
psychopath shit

>>96473648
Instead of water I use liquitex white ink to thin white acrylic paint and this is two (2) coats of it over a black primer.
It covers incredibly well.

>>96473736
I build up from grey primer using a light blue grey (vallejo extra opaque) thinned with white ink, but when I'm painting actual white areas/highlights it's time for pro acryl heavy titanium straight from the bottle

rinse the brush frequently to keep it moist so paint flows off, but no deliberate thinning with water

What are some cool GW models I could use as a DEldar clawed fiend?
Cost doesn't matter

>>96473735
Never had chipping issues. I think a lot of steps are unnecessary, painting is easy and simple.
But then again, we wont have

>>96473542
>>96473550
I'm still a noob still building dexterity so there are issues but none of them stem from paint being too thick
Also the crudely applied paint over the metals is thematic rather than an executive dysfunction
The contrast paints for skin & bones give me more issues than le evil thick acrylics

>>96473797
I don't get why priming on the sprue and then having to handle it while you assemble stuff is easier for you. Just build the things, spray the things, then paint them like a normal person.

>>96470364
Yeah, that's what my order from Bad Dragon is for.

>>96473844
It is easier to hold, but that's about the only benefit I can think of

>>96473736
that's what I did with liquitex ink and AP's pre-fanatic shitty pure white when I first started painting
was much easier to get a good consistency for my beginner ass

>>96473844
Because priming the sprue lets me prime every bits, and I just prime one side, flip, then prime the other side on a flat surface.
Priming an assembled mini is more annoying because you have to worry about blind spots.
For the assembly, I scrape off the primed parts that will be glued while scraping off mould lines

>>96473618
i dunno, seems like most armies have a variety of playstyles

>>96473873
That genuinely sounds like more work to me, spraying from a bunch of angles is a matter of seconds vs having to remove paint from all the joints and still ending up with gaps in the primer from all the mould line removal.

congrats on avoiding "unnecessary steps" though lol

Any of the old forgeworld dragons the same size as a mutalith?

>>96473934
Yeah dudes a dumbass if he primes on sprue

>>96473873
This doesn't seem better to me than just priming an assembled mini or a couple subassemblies. But hey if it works for you brother, more power to you

It's an old picture against a good friend of mine's wolves. It's like the one unit he hadn't finished yet at the time.
He did end up winning though. Speed freeks just aren't good at the moment and his brick of 10 terminators wiped the floor with a lot of my units.
I put up a damn good fight though. Fun game.
