What are your 40k and /40kg/ related sins to confess?

>TQ
I am very lazy.
The consumption has not filled the emptiness in me.
I am too paranoid about being a bad person in social situations to go to the LGS to game.
As much as I love the Warhammer 40k setting, I have grown to dislike much of the fandom.

Play Imperial Agents.

Egon Castovean, Chapter Master of the Penitent Wings

Egon brought his sword around in a devastating swing, the pommel striking Heraghas’ head in such a blow that broke his terrible helm, fragments of tainted ceramite falling to the ground as the Word Bearer fell to his knees, blood splattering across the scorched stones. Egon scoffed in disdain, reaching down and clutching the traitor’s head within his grasp, hoisting Heraghas up from the ground.

“Many are the tales of your blasphemous deeds, and many more of great warriors slain by your blade. Tales of a despotic champion of the Dark Gods that destroys all as he wills.”

With that the Egon rose his sword up high, bringing it down in a mighty arc that cleaved the Word Bearer’s wretched head from his shoulders.

“You could imagine my disappointment.”

I never gave even a single cent of my money to GW directly, I always scalped off ebay or bought recasts/proxies
I only went to a LGS twice in my life, my playmates are just old friends
I masturbated for like a month (like once every 2 days that would come up in my head) to the thought of fucking a slaneeshi daemonhost when I was roughly 15-16. She would cackle and scream very loudly in incomprehensible mixed between sadness and pleasure. Probably one of the reasons why I like bondage now
I personally despise the ghastly Horus Heresy rigamarole and I beliege the book series paved the way to fucking the setting up

I don’t “believe” halo “invented” this trope, the oldest thing I’ve seen with it in it is Macross, IK Yamato 2199 has it too but I haven’t seen that yet although I plan to. But your shitty fanfiction has no basis in 40k outside of your schizo theory

my sins?
ive been a fan since I was in high school, now I'm 27 and still havent bought an army
im constantly saving up and saving up and saving up but everything is so expensive and i dont make good money, and every fucking time im about to start collecting a price increase comes up
theres so many armies i want to collect, Grey Knights, Dark Angels, Black Templars, Eldar, Necrons, even have a homebrew Chaos Space Marine chapter I wanna make, but I feel like I'm never gonna be able to afford any of them

I hope the Space Wolves MTO following the EC MTO means they're cycling through the Chapters and we'll get a DA MTO soon. Some of those old DA models hold up extremely well

>>96494485

You can draw line of sight from the far sides over the shoulders of your other knights to shove a shit ton of shots down a narrow lane of tall terrain at a target.

I drag my feet getting my models done and I'm not looking forward to going into the LGS for the first time in decades. So I planned my minis around the thought of stripping them and selling them if it doesn't pan out. I'm just literally killing time with the hobby. I might keep something for myself if I do decide to sell everything.

>>96494610

>ive been a fan since I was in high school, now I'm 27 and still havent bought an army
I mean it could be worse. You could have bought a whole library of items and a whole studio's worth of paint and supplies and still not painted an army. I'm referring to that Tweet meme picture of a guy having a whole hallway of 40k boxes that sometimes gets posted here.

In a way you kind of decided to play it comically cautious when it comes to finances.

I didn't really do that. I got a box of Cadians and then got my first job to afford Warhammer 40k. Minimum wage kind of works when you're not paying bills as a high schooler. Unfortunately while I did consume product, I did not paint product.

Hey good job anon!

I read the rest of your post. There is a chance that you can do some Ebay shopping and get armies that are cheaper in bulk than if you bought the same amount from GW.
Just learn how to paint strip models so you can start fresh with them.

I really honestly can't tell what GW deal with Kurze is half the time.
I'm not sure if I'm meant to look at him as a tragic mentally far-gone man, who bits humanity in him but still a monster and a shell of his former self.
Or if I'm meant to see him as the batshit retarded and crazy idiot who just kills people because he got flung to the galactic equivelant of Detroit/Chigago and got mindbroken by all of it.

Is he meant to be a tragic figure, or is he meant to be a complete clown?

>>96494682
>‘Predictable. So predictable. You have become a caricature, Curze. Once you were the terrible hand of justice, the dark avenger, the Night Haunter. Now you are just a clown, seeking justification for your pointless existence.’
The Lion was frankly too generous. "You have become a caricature" implies that there was ever a time when Curze wasn't one.

need to get tuned into to things, like getting upgrade spurs, third party proxies, 3D printed alternatives, i know these things exist but its always been on the back burner

>>96494695
In a world where they are actively separating factions between games, I don't think you'll ever be able to run lizardmen/slaan in 40k. I'm sure in the next decade we'll see demons go to either aos or 40k (maybe tow?)and the remaining games will get their own daemons distinct from the old ones

What a terrible idea you had. I hope you die. The only unique daemons should be for minor gods that don't exist between settings.

>>96494727
Trick to Facebook marketplace is to aim your searches at college towns with lots of young guys still learning how to pay bills. You'll see about halfway through the semester that people start dumping tonnes of plastic when they realize they need to buy food and laundry detergent

>>96494688
From reading the Night Lords omnibus it sounds like they get bored really quickly when they're not on some kind of terror/murder mission.
Cruising around in their ships with the lights off sounds more appealing than deciding on tax policies.

Does any primarch other than Lorgar and Rodent Gasoline have as bad of a record fighting against Primarchs as Leman Russ?

>>96494697
We would rather ignore you nomodels

>>96494749
>What a terrible idea you had
It's pretty obvious that's the direction the wind is blowing currently.
Daemons in 40k are genuinely an afterthought as an army. They were originally part of the same book with the CSM but then GW did the stupid idea of listening to chaosfags and separated daemons and CSM.
Even though the whole point of the army was that, yes, CSM can't use all the same shit loyalist marines could, but they made up for it by having daemons and daemon engines and other daemonic powers.

>>96494749
It's gonna happen as much as it sucks. Gw is trying to make all their minis designated to one game each, probably for ease of sales tracking. Any models shared between rules system we will likely see moving to one rules system and squatted from the rest

Hand priming sucks. But the pooling I get trying to get every angle on these suckers is worse. Also, I will be touching up the rubbing spots on the legs a bit more with a second pass because they love to chip in all my tests.

>>96494737
A range of 40k space slanni can be made perfectly distinct from the fantasy aos seraphon, simply by focusing on the old frogs instead of dinosaurs or lizardmen servants.
Especially if they get to showcase a more variegated extravaganza of other servants and allies instead.

But I'm fine with gw never touching them, at this point I have perhaps more than enough slanni.

>>96494705
He's batshit insane but still got his own morals when he's not doing schizo stuff. Like when he saves Lorgar from Corax, and then sees the Gal Vorbak and tells Lorgar he should have let Corax finish him off.

>>96494776
Do what I >>96494671 did. I was able to prime 21 models in 5 minutes only with this $20 junk. It really saves time + you can do it indoors, provided you're in ventilated room as the overall spray is minimal.
>>96494784
What paints do you use for their power armor?

>>96494793
>A range of 40k space slanni can be made perfectly distinct from the fantasy aos seraphon
That's not enough for GW.
This same argument could be used for beastmen as well and GW still decided "Fuck you, we are cutting them out of AoS and then shoving them into TOW"

Also you're trying to use logic with GW, ie. where there is none.
The fact is, GW doesn't want competing model ranges that are too similiar, no matter the consequences or if it makes sense.

>>96494705
he's supposed to be irredeemably evil, BUT sympathetic enough for people to pick his fellas for their plastic army

>>96494695
is this what they call aura farming?

>>96494767
>listened chaosfags and separated daemons and CSM
NO! You can't have an army that isn't space marines! GW delete EVERYTHING and release five (5) FULL codices on Chaos Marines.
Please die.

>>96494793
I think it would be cool. I just think if they were willing to do more stuff like that we'd see it. It seems like specialist games are getting free reign to do anything they want, so maybe we'll see another 40k warhammer quest soon with some space frogs

>>96494799
The problem with spray and legs is that I have to spin the model slowly to get every bit of every leg. It pools towards the torso. It sticks too well.

So after all that, I have to take a brush and pull it off the model. It's faster to loosen the prime with water and 'speedpaint it' onto the model. I get five done for every one I have to fiddle with an airbrush with, and less air contamination. These models reaaaaally do not like being primed from their underside.

>>96494809
He's not irredeemably evil. Someone who is insane cannot be pure evil cause he doesn't know what he's doing half the time. He literally asked the emperor for forgiveness before dying in one of his schizo visions.

Now his legion, they're evil yes.

>fridge anon hasn't posted since september 2nd
I hope he's all right

>>96494807
>That's not enough for GW.
Yes, it is, they have a number of ranges that are way closer to one another than this would be.

Beastmen were removed from aos because they didn't have another separate range ready for them, they can, and I think will, eventually make a new range of aos distinct beastmen, especially if they focus on morghur and mutants and spawns rather than satyrs and centaurs and minotaurs.

>>96494825
You joke but that's exactly what happened.
Chaosfags in the past always just wanted CSM and nothing else and hated running daemons.
It's also the reason why we have to live with the "We want what loyalists have but spiky!" shit. Which is where most darkmech shit comes from, or chaos guard shit.

>>96494809
The true "Im evil lol" legion are the Emperor's Children, a surprisingly high amount of Night Lords characters and a not so surprisingly high amount of Night Lords fans are extremely whiny about the galaxy hating them and being the only legion hated by their primarch and how Kurze was right or a little trauma baby or whatever. They just aren't as obnoxious about that as WE or TS fans
Emperor's children are just overly proud extremely gay pretentious narcissistic assholes with nothing tragic about their downfall except "ayo what if we do a bunch of drugs lmao dude thats so deep I wanna fuck deamonettes even the ones with dicks specially the ones with dicks", if you ever hanged out around pretentious artcrowd dimes square type folk into aderall you know exactly what the archetype is. Lucius has his face full of scars because his colleagues thought it would be funny to tell him he looked hot when he kept fucking his face up.

>>96494840
>Yes, it is
For you, not for GW.
Again, you're trying to apply logic and what YOU yourself personally want, to how GW thinks and what GW wants.
GW doesn't care, daemons are getting removed from 40k at worst and at best (unlikely to happen because genuinely nobody gives a shit about daemons in 40k) they will be permanently be shoved into their respective marine legion codexes. (Where they honestly belong.)

Daemons were never meant to be an army on their own.

>>96494837

and you aren't?
horus heresy and 40k have way closer ranges than what's been suggested, so do aos and tow, and aos and 40k.

Even when it comes to demons, I can put money on the line that GW has plans for removing them definitely only because it has plans for replacing them with 40k unique sculpts for at least some demonic archetypes to keep in the respective legions.

>>96494845
The Emperor's Children are a tragedy. If they put their minds to something they can achieve great things but its simply never enough. Now add on the fact they are useless baseheads who get bored and abandon whatever they are doing to go find some children to go grind up into space drugs they inevitably wind up fighting over while also burning both ends of the candle and shoving a wick in the middle because they can't burn themselves out fast enough.

>>96494908
nah, just started them

>>96494884
That's Khorne, muh honorable war god who despises bureocrats and magic and long range weaponry. Emperor's Children are like Sade as to giving elegant and big explanations to their depravities being less of s coping mechanism and more part of their fetish as well

>>96494895

And GW specifically makes it so you can't use shit across systems despite them being so close and similiar.
For example 30k tanks and dreadnoughts don't have rules in 40k, only legends rules at best.

Wasn't this a monthly with hundreds of issues. What happened?

can just go on youtube and look for White Dwarf issue X and find a video of a neckbeard scroll through it. Imagine subscribing to that shit

Nobody bought them (except me! I was stupid enough to buy them all!)

>The Imperial Guard consists of badass hive worlders raised in gritty conditions until they become hardened warriors, THEN they join the PDF where they are trained into even more disciplined soldiers, and then the top .01% of those are given up to the Imperial Guard and given the best equipment
>By the time an Imperial Guardsman is made he's already one of the most deadly warriors in the setting, capable of ripping the head off of anything we'd call 'special forces' today

>Meanwhile the Tau are just some middle class fascist indoctrinated with propaganda and given an overly naive worldview before being sent to die in disposable meatwaves against an enemy they don't stand a chance against with shitty equipment made by the lowest bidder

I dunno, the Tau are seeming like the more relatable everyman option. Or at least the funnier one.

>>96495110
very nice, i think the color gradient on the sword is MUCH better now, there's still a hint of yellow to blend as it goes into the hilt, that works with the transition from blue to green, but it dont look like piss no more

>Angron hates his world eaters.
He hated them before the nails. Once they got them he started to consider them his bros. Even the loyalists.

>>96495244
No, Angron hated them ever after it.
The WE only got the nails jammed in their skull because Kharn thought it'd make them more closer with Angron.
All other WE captains that was fucking stupid and retarded.

>>96495233
>>By the time an Imperial Guardsman is made he's already one of the most deadly warriors in the setting
then why do we have tempestus scions and lucifer blacks as the "real" spec ops without getting into bioalchemy with top gear? Also despite that isn't the average battlefield life expectancy like few seconds?

>>96495252

The Average life expectancy of a mortal man against magical deamons (and things stronger) isn't very long
No way!

>>96495252
he respected those who decided to stand up for what they think is right over blindly trying to get his approval through appeasement

>>96495252
Anon, you literally have Angron finally accept them when they got their nails for the first time during the Ghenna Massacre.

>>96495269
i mean sure you can chalk it up that it's the overall number of encounters where they get turned into paste by threat of the week brings it down but it still kinda gets down to absurdity (which is a point i guess) in scale to sustain so many fronts and holdings for weeks to years besiged while suffering 1Bil deaths a second per world etc etc

>>96495255
>then why do we have tempestus scions and lucifer blacks as the "real" spec ops
Because the Imperium is so populous that they can afford to ask for the best .01% the best .01%. The Tempestus Scions represent the best .0001%

>>96495269
A Lasgun is a very good weapon anon. It hits harder than a .50 cal, which is more than enough to kill most infantry in the setting, and you can get even more powerful variants of the Lasgun. The Lasgun is super easy for logistics, since it can be recharged from any power source, even a campfire or the sun, and you can throw the power packs as grenades. It has no recoil, and is extremely easy to learn.

By contrast, the Pulse Rifle just a weaker plasma gun, with recoil, that uses ammo, is fragile and has shitty logistics, and is unwieldy to use.

>>96494419 (OP)
>What are your 40k and /40kg/ related sins to confess?
I actively want daemons squatted if it means we get a full line of cyberdaemons to replace them

>>96495301
Why don't Space Marines and Custodies use them if they are the best equipment

>>96495308
Because the Space Marines are special forces, and their bolters are able to use different types of ammunition for the mission at hand. They prefer the customization of the Bolter over the ease of logistics and use of the Lasgun.

>>96495271
Exactly, that's my point.
And Kharn's idea didn't work.

Convince me not to get this. The only downside it has is that the Knight is a basic Paladin/Errant with no carapace weapons. The kit lacks the Warden Sprue or the Canis Sprue but has both Armiger type sprues for all 4 of them. However if I get another Knight I'd have those sprues and I could build the Knight as the new Defender or Canis while the Battleforce one would be complete. I'm gonna magnetize them all of course but maybe this way the Battleforce would be more useful? Should I get it or not?

>>96495011
Red Bard is a cool dude

I have a very rare frog myself

>>96495321
so the upshot of the lasgun is its ease of logistics and use?
sounds like youre saying its an inferior weapon which is economically viable despite being not that good
the lasgun isnt good cuz its good, its good because it forces larger units to react to laser fire, allowing artillery to actually kill them

>>96495328
Do you like the models? If you like the models it's a great deal and all Imp Knights are the same chassis so you can just keep them magnetized and if you get another body you can run 2 however you want. The only issue is probably nobody is going to want to play with you.

>1k points

Is there any situation where you can win vs guard without some absolute memes like spamming heroes only in lions of the emperor with resurrection enchancement on a sacrificial allarus termie and camping ruins doing whatever missions you can and play on points? For reference enemy list was command rogal dorn and 2 different Leman's

>>96495328
>but if I get just this next item....
Thats how they get you. Consider the list first, purchases second.

>>96495339
Logistics win wars. That's what the Tau don't understand. They're focused too much on the small picture to understand the big picture.

bros kinda new to the lore let me get this straight
this necron celestial orrery thing literally has the power to destroy every single start aka the whole galaxy if whoever is using it just swipes across all the dots at once

but the only reason its never used is just the fact that it can destroy the whole galaxy if you use it even once, and thats not in the interest of even necrons?

>>96495349
>Logistics win wars. That's what the Tau don't understand.
Tau have better logistics than the Imperium.

>>96494419 (OP)
>TQ
Even though I listbuild and dictate my purchases around what I want for my army lists, I've never played a single physical game of 40k in the two years or so I've been building and painting.

I have over 2k points of Guard, with World Eaters and Imperial Knights close approaching. I also got a bunch of various Kill Teams and thanks to subbing to the Combat Patrol magazine and a few other purchases I now have close to 1k points in Marines. Part of the reason why I bought into the Combat Patrol magazine was to have an easy on-board for getting people in my friend group to play, but only like two people have voiced mild interest on learning how to play. Despite having so many minis I've only ever done one game via Tabletop Simulator, and it was a 500 point match between Guard and a friend playing Custodes (I got rolled pretty hard because I forgot my army rule was a thing).

I don't take this as a total wash however, I really enjoy the modeling aspect of the hobby and enjoy painting/kitbashing minis so it all works out in the end.

>>96495255
>lucifer blacks
Lucifer Blacks are just a particularly prestigious guard regiment.
>tempestus scions
Because elite infantry units aren't special forces and special forces aren't elite infantry units.
>>96495292
You're right it doesn't make sense that the Imperium can spend more time than the US army training infantry only for them to die 15 hours after ending up planet side. I guess we could try to understand what "living 15 hours in combat" means.
>>96495301
>...the pulse rifle... has shitty logistics
The T'au have according to 10th ed been able to give everyone in their military pulse rifles or better despite conquering populated imperial worlds with parts of the standing army of those worlds immediately reintegrating into the T'au military.

>>96495362
the dynasty that's in charge of celestial orrery is a rare case of a dynasty nobles not being the pettiest retards in the universe so they're not trigger happy to use it because destroying too many systems with reality-altering tech (thats not warp-based) will destroy the universe and milky way STILL hasn't even recovered after War in Heaven

>>96495370
They absolutely do not. They don't even have a form of FTL. The only thing the Tau have going for them is that they're indoctrinated on a level even the Imperium would find repulsive.

>>96495398
>They don't even have a form of FTL
@Gork what is a Nisscar
@Gork what is a Human

>>96495330
I got fucked over by customs sideways to get that one, but I got that too.

My rarest space frogs are the unreleased one with long rifle (recasted), the one I designed, and a recreation of the blanche artwork made from a cheeky lookalike hidden in the knightmare range.

>>96495391
I am aware that 40k is kinda filled with stuff like this (literally every race has some insanely OP trait or thing which they can use to win eventually, except eldar ig)

but how do you not win if you're a race with reality warping tech able to literally destroy terra with one fucking tap on a touchscreen, why don't the anti human dynasties try to snag that shit for themselves? seems like a no brainer desu

You know what faction doesn't have an FTL system. The Black Templars, maybe that's why the new fluff says they just go around killing Imperial citizens and blowing up Imperial factories under the guise of "Luring out enemy champions" they can't leave their local system and have to do something to appear productive.

>>96495408
things they don't use for faster than light travels themselves.

the allied tau races either use their own ships or get on board tau ships, tau rarely get on the allied ships.

I know you are bound to run into weird people as a Warhammer player but today I was left speechless after encountering a guy unironically mad about my Rhino chassis vehicles being based on 120mm oval bases. I thought the guy is teasing me and trolling at first but it turned out he was convinced it's modelling for advantage.
>Inb4 why do you base your Rhinos
It makes vehicles fit my army better.

>>96495390
>The T'au have according to 10th ed been able to give everyone in their military pulse rifles or better
The Damocles Crusade describes the Tau as running out of ammo shooting at the Imperial Guard.

You know what would be nice? Never ever running out of ammo because you can recharge your ammo by throwing your gun in a campfire.

>T'au discourse
gross

>>96495434
I’d be befuddled more than mad

>>96495415
most are likely unaware, Szarekh removed the knowledge of the biggest toys (which either orrerry isn't that cracked as codex says it is or somehow got skipped) from all necron nobles bar himself in case he needs them. As to why they didn't just swipe terra, most don't care or the crypteks realized/divined with their tech magic that destroying it would make matters only worse with another warphole

>>96495434
I’m afraid of becoming like these people. Partly is why I don’t play.

>>96495434
wouldn't that be easily solved by measuring from the hull anyway?

>>96495411
I know the unreleased one you mean, I would like to see your frog anon.

>>96495431
>allied tau races... get on board tau ships
Yep Nisscar and Human Astropaths get on board T'au ships to turn run the FTL and FTL safety devices..

>>96495441
Recharging a lasgun by throwing the battery pack into a fire has got to be one of the most retarded bits of lore in a sea of retarded lore.

>>96495473
Mk2 power armor having the helm in a fixed position is probably worse.
It is arguably the most ignored piece of warhammer 30k/40k lore there is.

>>96495415
the simplest answer would be: it's not as easy as a tap on the screen, there are other requirements, some parts of the screen may require so much to be practically untappable or cause consequences that are a bigger game over for you than it would be for them.

>>96495473
It shows how advanced Imperium technology truly is. The Tau claim to be this advanced empire, but look at their technology.

Their pulse rifles? Inferior to lasguns.

Their combat armor? Maybe equivalent to carapace armor, but inferior to power armor.

Their battlesuits? Inferior to Titans.

Their spaceships? Inferior to Imperium equivalents.

Their FTL? Non-existent.

Their robots? Inferior to Imperium machine spirits.

Their Fire Warriors? Inferior to Imperial Guard.

>>96495415

>Something the Imperium literally can't make, and just inherited from somebody else.

>>96495506
Has their actually never been a recorded instance of the Craftworlders working with Tau, or is that another lie

Why dont eldar have flying mechs?

>>96495523
The Imperium has forge worlds that produce Titans. IIRC it's only the Emperor Class Titans that the Imperium can't produce anymore. And really, who cares? The Tau can barely handle a Warlord Titan and the Imperium can spew those out infinitely.

>>96495514
can they really use that to win when their whole race is both lowly populated + constantly withering away due to extremely low birthrates

i like the eldar in theory but their units n playstyle is too boring n gay for me in dawn of war, idk how it is in the tabletop
and in lore they just seem to always lose
desu i kinda forgor is necron motivation still "wipe out all life because our old gods demand it"?
is that what the silent king wants too?

>>96495565
>can they really use that to win when their whole race is both lowly populated + constantly withering away due to extremely low birthrates
No but they could destroy any faction barring the Necrons and Chaos instantly with it.

>>96495551
NTA but definitely not infinitely. Not that it matters since it’d still be enough to erase the tau off the map

>>96495581
Yes

>>96495551
>Warlord Titan
>Spend a continent sized factory that shits out one titan every 100 years
I thought logistics won wars

It's not that shocking, they're about €5 at gift shops lel

>>96495340
Yeah I like the models. Do people really hate fighting against Knights? Is it that bad?

>>96495347
Well if I want a Imperial Knight army I'd need more than 1 Knight so can't escape that. At least with another I could ungimp the basic battleforce knight.

>>96495578
how...?

>>96495581
>tau player asking this

knights have made 40k a worse game. also they're pretty dumb as a faction. why aren't they just part of the guard?

>>96495328
Like I said when someone asked yesterday if you're getting it for retail price then 100% go for it since you basically get a pair of Armigers for free at that price. You say it yourself that you'd need more than one big knight anyways so you might as well at that point. Knight Paladin is fun anyways.

>>96495679
>>96495681
might be a stupid question but why aren't they nuking chaos or at least slanesh with it if they can do that then
or at least the necrons
I can understand why they wouldn't wanna glass humans but those...

>>96495678
>>96495658
Imperial Knights were a mistake. Admech knights should have been the only ones and they should have been funny meme units like titans

Every large unit since the plastic Baneblade and Stompa at the end of 4th edition has been a mistake

>>96494419 (OP)
>What are your 40k and /40kg/ related sins to confess?
I think the Votannfag is right and I would like for the Votann to be more Destiny.

>>96495703
both knights and custodes are mistake
knights should be admech memes as you suggest (or semi meme, more like baneblade-type deal) and custards at most should be allied-only where you can take a single unit of wardens with captain, in a single detachment

>>96494549
I finished painting these guys today. I have a bunch more chaos space marines, including a handful with heavy weapons, a terminator and a chaos lord left to paint, but I think I'll put the rest of this project on hold for now.

>>96495565
>use that to win
Win what? 40k is a stagnant setting where nobody "wins".
>in lore they just seem to always lose
They really don't. Like every other faction, their codices have a number of victories and losses listed in their timeline. Their luck in Black Library novels is pretty bad, but that's because they're used as foils for the Imperium or being ritually humiliated in their own books by that hack Thorpe.

>>96495722
Praetorian kill team when?

>>96495755
Never, too racist for nuGW

>>96495755
Never, too many guardslop teams already

>>96495699
>stupid question but why aren't they nuking chaos
Yeah stupid question indeed. I guess as a zero the Webway can't lead to specific places in the immaterium because there aren't specific places in the immaterium. Two in the realm of Immaterium material weapons aren't effective. Material weapons are only effective against deamons, because to enter the materium (the real world) they have to take on semi-physical forms. In the immaterium deamons and the gods they serve don't have to do this and so can't just be shot, or blown up.

>>96494574
Fairly certain that the night lords cut off Vulkan's balls and forcefed them to him at some point.

What is the most brain-dead, straightforward detachments (or factions) in play in a tournaments (not necessary win them, just not lose every battle)?

they can still nuke chaos planets though if thats really how the webway works
no chaos planets = no worshippers = chaos withers a bit
i have no idea how it works lmao, thought if there's no gate nearby they can't just teleport shit into any planet they chose, superweapons or nah

>>96495781

: (
i feel like damn near every tough character who isnt a space marine is a woman, fucking all of them
they do realize that women dont relate to other humans right? They relate to the voracious demon bug tyrannids

Here's how you fix Knights
>Lists are limited to one big Knight for every 1000 points
>Armigers are removed from Battleline and are stuck to 3 max per army like every other unit
>Faction theming is changed from "Wow cool robot!" to "Medieval Times in Space" with the new Battleline being 40k Pikemen with power lances and bolt pistols
>Other units can include a squad of Squires who's job is to maintain the Knights on the battlefield and heavy armored foot soldiers carrying tower shields.
>Maybe introduce a new type of Big Knight that's basically just a walking siege tower with parapets on its shoulders that guys with pintle mounted bolters can fire from

>>96495862
>Reminder that mass deportation is the moderate position.
I look forward to the day where people who advocate for deportations are seen as as untrustworthy left wing subversives

>>96495862
The ip would be better if it was taken off of British hands

>>96495876
So long as space marines cannot be women and also are more than 50% of the names characters in the setting, every other faction needs lots of extra female leads to make up for the imbalance.

first time using greenstuff, if i'm using it to fill in gaps and stuff, will it stick to the model?
can i use it to stick two plastic pieces together and have them stay connected?

>>96495881
>>Maybe introduce a new type of Big Knight that's basically just a walking siege tower with parapets on its shoulders that guys with pintle mounted bolters can fire from
How does that fix Knights, you cretin?

>>96495818
>no chaos planets = no worshippers = chaos withers a bit
Chaos blows up its own planets eventually. Leave a greater daemon on a planet long enough, and that planet won't be there anymore, so It's a race between the news of Chaos infestation reaching a CraftWorld, and Chaos extracting all the value from that planet and deleting it.
>thought if there's no gate nearby they can't just teleport shit into any planet they chose
There are gates basically everywhere except Necron tomb worlds. 60 MILLION years of galactic dominance and future sight lets you build a lot of infrastructure.

>>96495902
Because a giant robot with dudes shooting from on top of it would look cool.

>>96495862
But I thought the moderate position is advocating deportation while having barns full of illegals under your employ while openly boasting this and mocking legal citizens for being lazy and unemployable?

>>96495896
>every other faction needs lots of extra female leads to make up for the imbalance
according to whom?
there has been an imbalance for essentially the entire franchise UP UNTIL it became popular
it became popular WITH a massive imbalance
why would you remove an element that is an aspect of its success?
what imperative commands that the imbalance be removed?

>>96495908
>There are gates basically everywhere except Necron tomb worlds
you're telling me there's webway gates on planets like terra where there's not a single spot where humans haven't shat and no one noticed those to destroy or contain in thousands of years

or are they underground and still work that way, or perma-stealthed?

>>96495876
>>96495896
In every single Space Marine novel they insert a strong female sidekick who starts giving out orders to Space Marines. To me it's getting tiresome even though I like having female characters. It's always the exact same pattern.

>>96494549
Just finished my arkanyst, too. First time trying a glow effect with an airbrush. Had to do a lot of post-airbrush work to keep it from just looking like a green blob that I didn't paint but I think it turned out alright

Which faction has the best civilian or ceremonial fashion?

>>96495924
I now want one that's like pic.

>>96495604
The Imperium has 1 million planets. A mere continent-sized factory means they could set aside 10,000 planets shitting out Titans constantly and they'd be producing 1,000 Warlord Titans a year.

And the Tau consider it a major victory when they manage to take out a mere handful of them.

>>96495923
>In every single Space Marine novel they insert a strong female sidekick who starts giving out orders to Space Marines.
Every ADB space marine novel ever lmao (chaos too)

>>96495934
how about all the other heavily populated imperial planets though, ain't no way the humans didn't notice big fancy alien tech gates sitting on the surface wo looting them, nothing is left of the mongol empire irl that shit was 1000 years ago, no matter how long they ruled the galaxy I'd think their gates would have been picked clean

>>96495942
Kek if I do another one I'll definitely give him grey hair

>>96495923
>strong female sidekick who starts giving out orders to Space Marines
LOVED that butch looking foid guard commander during SM2 that spoke to Lt Titus all girl-boss-like
really made me wanna fight for gender equality
I used to be sexist ya know, but that female girl boss made me realize the errors of my way

>>96495952
NTA but webway gates tend to be on bumfuck nowhere planets, and others are in space

>>96495954
You lot are brain poisoned, the woman in SM2 doesn't order Marines about and she calls them her lords constantly.

>>96495963
we're discussing that cause that guy said that gates can still be found on pretty much any planet that wasn't a tombworld

>>96495922
Undeectable to everyone except Eldar, Necrons. Everyone else either never had that technology or has lost it.
>Terra
No. The Emperor had the Imperium working on Webway tech before the Horus Heresy, but humanity hasn't been able to close any webway portals for ten thousand years.

>>96495952
I assume many were destroyed. It's been tens of thousands of years after all. Remember that Necrons slept for 60 million years while Eldar were dominating the galaxy. Though I find it curious they never bothered to destroy sleeping Crons and allowed Humanity to get to where are they now.

>>96495975
I think he's wrong, the webway is a mess and fractured, loads of gates and paths no longer work

>>96495954
She was a pajeet too. She probably took a shit in the trench soon after Titus left.

we should hunt down and kill every surviving Cadian cuz they annoy me

Do you guys use a knife or like a file to get rid of sprue marks? Assembling for the first time and trying to get it off a weapon as clean as possible.

just angle your nippers down into the model, patch with sprue goo


btw, I highly recommend using the colored sprues to make sprue goo. you can see where youve covered much more easily.

is this right? Hmm I thought there were less empty planets with how hectic 40k is

pretty much every race has terraforming powers to turn every potential planet habitable tho right?

>>96495991
So they fucked up. Why didn't they destroy sleeping Crons? 1 by 1 they had a chance to at least thin them down. Were they scared to wake them up?

Because GW wanted to keep selling necron models.

>>96496012
Both sides were almost completely destroyed during the war. The Korks and K'nib were gone temporarily. The Eldar had to pick up the pieces, and it always seemed beneficial to build a bigger better admy before finishing the job. Why should *I* have to die on the frontline when my succesors can do that for me.

>>96495943
This is what people don't understand about the Imperium.

The Imperium has no shortage of high-tech material.

The Imperium literally sends several chapters of Space Marines as well as Titan Legions to take care of small, minor, irrelevant xenos empires that are tiny insignificant blips on the map.

Sure, the Imperium would like more Space Marines and Titans, who wouldn't? But they're not short of them. They have more than enough to handle all of their needs. They are a well-stocked, well-supplied, well-managed empire with near infinite supplies.

>>96496009
that necron number only makes sense if it includes ALL currently still asleep tomb world. Awakened Necron % should be a small fraction of that

>>96496033
GW recently revealed that Tomb Worlds are literally everywhere, whole galaxy map starts glowing green with dots symbolizing Tomb Worlds and they are all waking up.

>>96495678
agents aren't a real faction either

>>96495943
It is a major victory for them. The Imperium can't send a small portion of the resources they have towards the T'au or they would die to the threads that are on the Imperiums scale.
Look up Luxembourg on a map for me.

>>96496009
>is this right?
Yes, it is accurate.
GW just runs with the "1 million worlds" shit because the writers thought that sounds impressive. Mind you that "worlds" means planets.
When in reality the Milkyway galaxy alone contains 100 BILLION stars within it, and that's the conservative estimate.
The number of planets that are theorized to exist within the Milkyway estimated to be aorund 100 BILLION to 400 BILLION, and again that's the conservative estimate.

Even population wise Imperium is all over the place.
The average hivecity contains anywhere 10 billion to 100 billion humans within them. And that is ONE (1) singular hivecity.
And mind you, Imperial planets tend to have multiples of hive cities on them.

>>96496059
makes sense
I just finished dark crusade with the necrons
in the games they're literally just evil robots that genocide because they're still bitches of their nightbringer god thats just an asshole

in lore their core motivation is returning to fleshy bodies right, why do they still bother with the ctan?

>>96496066
>Imperial planets tend to have multiples of hive cities
False most Imperial planets have 0 hive cities on them.

>>96496072
Dark crusade has oldcrons, that fluff has largely been retconned

Still can't believe I managed to get this. (found randomly in a LGS) Also as a newfriend I don't understand why GW can't make more copies for flagship boxes and everything sells out in minutes.

>>96496075
oh I see
i guess the current motivation is cooler than fuck we just hate all life and destroy even bacteria because nightbringer is just evil

although I do like purely evil factions

In the fight between Horus and the Emperor the Emperor tricks him into giving up his chaos power by pretending to be one of his sons and projecting a fake dead body of himself.

But why was Horus able to do that? Why was chaos like "Yeah sure no problem boss, you're free now." Isn't that the opposite of how chaos works?

>>96496072
oldcron lore which was retconned, now the c'tan are slave bitches and necron end goal is to ascend to godhood (beings of pure energy)

You know... given how they added more and more prospector units to Votann and even gave them a whole ass detachment.... why the fuck isn't there a Kahl on a bike? (unless the unannounced kill team is literally just that)

>>96496065
I'm sure for them it is. But let's be honest...

The most the Imperium has ever thought about the Tau was that one time Guilliman said their name off-hand during a conversation about how many enemies the Imperium has. And even then I wouldn't be surprised if the guy who mentioned the Tau to Guilliman was fired on the spot for wasting his time.

>>96496093
>unless the unannounced kill team is literally just that
What announced kill team?

>>96496085
Yeah oldcrons were slaves to the ctan and wanted to end life.
Newcrons were once slaves to the ctan but rebelled and sharded most of the ctan. Some dynasties can still fit old cron lore where multiple ctan shards have merged and become powerful enough to assert control, but most dynasties are doing their own things now.

>>96496094
...and? Nobody has thought of Luxembourg as a serious military threat, yet here it is.

>>96496090
>is to ascend to godhood (beings of pure energy)
I thought it was to become alive again
+ restore their emp while they're at it
>>96496103
there's already an "all-consuming" faction with nids i guess, so the necrons being the same thing would be kinda boring

>>96496098
there is one kill team between necrons vs death watch and SoB vs Nightlords (feat. Nightbringer Shard) that hasn't been announced yet, confirmed by GW

>>96496087
>But why was Horus able to do that? Why was chaos like "Yeah sure no problem boss, you're free now." Isn't that the opposite of how chaos works?
It's called "bad writing".

>>96496076
They intentionally underproduce some boxes to incite fomo and so it looks good to share holders.
They’ve been doing a real good job with recent battle forces being made available but this one just selling out so quick is weird.

>>96496087

>>96496093
bikes won't work in KT, and definitely not in tomb world/gallowdark

>>96496098
the sisters vs raptors leak was a whole reveal early. there's still another box set between tomb world and that one

>>96496076
my LGS has it, should I grab one for an anon
what if we started a nationwide anon-only LGS network to help each other out

>>96496108
It depends on the dynasty/lord. Some want to become biological again, ithers want to ascend, some want to conquer, trayzn wants to collect shit

>>96496098
Anon is talking about the kill team that is in between, the new kill team of new Deathwatch marines vs necrons, and then the leaked kill team which showed off the new sisters of battle units, CSM raptors and then the Nightbringer shard.

In between there's an unknown kill team set and what teams it contains we don't know.

The point of the tau is that they are a small and new faction that is just learning about the galaxy. If the imperium actually wanted to wipe out the Tau it could, but it doesn't really do that sort of thing without a good reason given how much shit it has to deal with

I think this is still canon but they canonically invaded Commorragh en masse once when Vect stole a space marine Strike Cruiser to get them to clap the shit out of the existing nobility. The imperium could probably wipe out a bunch (but of course not all) of the existing factions in the game

>>96496124
what does the silent king want he's uniting em ain't he
does he wanna become alive

>>96496120
>bikes won't work in KT
oh well, maybe as 11/12th ed pity release then

>>96496072
>>96496090
I just finished reading the Ventris book "Nightbringer" recently and now it makes sense why the Necrons where acting weird. I just assumed they were bodyguard units to the Nightbringer

>>96495898
no

>>96496108
>I thought it was to become alive again
That's what the Silent King told everyone but he and Szeras are working on something else because they know they would be fucked in flesh bodies. The biggest problem are basic Necron Warriors. They are gone and nothing can be done but Silent K is telling his people he can save them.

>>96495725
Your Oldcrons have arrived.

>>96496104
Only because they're surrounded by factions nice enough not to invade.

If the Imperium ever decided it wanted to try out fascism one day the Tau would be cooked.

>revealing something rather sharp and mean for Warhammer 40,000
Who's ready for CSM reveals tomorrow

>>96496141
>The biggest problem are basic Necron Warriors. They are gone and nothing can be done
isn't that like 95% of the crons... whats left, the nobility/lords?

>>96496124
>trayzn wants to collect shit
man its so annoying when writers do that self-insert shit

>>96495988
scalpel and some 1000 grit sandpaper

>>96496129
At the expense of making every other faction stronger and themselves substantially weaker.

>>96496149
Nobility, crypteks, immortals.
Basic warriors are mindless
Flayers aren't mindless but are cursed.
Most destroyers are also not mindless but have gone insane.

>>96496148
I honestly hope it's some random csm then 4 hours later DEldar

>>96496141
It's worse than that, there are hints that remnants of their minds are still trapped in eternal suffering. There was that one necron lord who was remembering his wife and two young daughters. His two young daughters became warriors and his wife was more limited than him, so he killed her so that she wouldn't suffer forever

The Silent King fucked up more than the emperor

>>96495814
Sir Michael "Mother Fucking" Caine

>>96496160
but still, that means like 90% of necrons are mindless n doomed right, they're the vast majority?

>>96496155
Right that is what I am saying. Yes, they could wipe out the Tau, does it make sense to do so, no.

>>96496167
Yeah, the process that cloned their minds into robots only really worked on the top 10% of society at best

>>96496129
It’s been a long running idea that even in its dilapidated rotten state the imperium could probably take on any single other faction and completely eradicate them. The problem is that while they were doing so the others would rip their guys out. I guess except Chaos since they have a literally impregnable fortress in the Eye of Terror.

>>96496129
The whole point with the tau is that, yes, Imperium could erase them from existance if they wanted to.
But Tau can, and will put up such a fight that it'd still require massive amounts of manpower and resources that it'd mean the Imperium would have to divert manpower and resources from other important regions and conflicts.
Which then leaves the said region "open" and vulnerable to be attacked, which will be exploited by all manners of other xenos and chaos forces.

Like for example Dark Eldar thrive in such conditions because Deldar prefer to attack weak and "soft" targets because they lack the stomach for protacted battles because their reason for real space raids is to get more slaves and resources into Commoragh. So more time they spend in an area raiding, more likely it is Imperium reinforces its territories again which will make raiding more difficult and dangerous and therefore less "profitable" for the Deldar.

This is the main reason why the Imperium can't "just wipe out the tau", it just doesn't work like that and it isn't so simple.

>>96496149
Yeah pretty much only the Nobility and high level servants (like Deathmarks, Lychguard, Pretorians) are left with their whole (more or less) minds while everyone else, especially the Warriors are just robots who lost their souls. Silent King told everyone he can reverse the biotransferance and make everyone whole but he can't do that. I mean he could reverse it but Warriors would be gone and the Nobility would'nt be able to take their advanced AI minds with them to flesh bodies. Only their own degraded minds. So he lied to his people and has Illuminator Szeras working on ascension to beings like the C'Tan.

>>96496176
I think one problem the Imperium runs into is that...well, they're too nice. They're pretty much the 'liberal' faction now. The Tau have taken over as the 'fascist' faction since they're so much more indoctrinated and authoritarian.

>>96496176
Chaos can't really be defeated because it is born from people's emotions, and the Tyranids are outside the galaxy. Orks are probably impossible to exterminate too.

the rest yes

>>96496142
looks warframe-y but I havent played in like 5 years

>>96496162

>>96496076
terrain isn't a big seller for them outside limited runs, and all the models will be available in individual boxes later on. the cards and tokens and stuff are printed in china as one-offs by the cheapest contractor they can find. knowing you're going to immediately sell every unit you produce is really good for a business.

>>96496180
dick move desu, so most crons do wanna return to living bodies but silent K is just gonna fuck em over yet again if he gets his way?

>>96496163
>The Silent King fucked up more than the emperor
Yes but counterpoint: Necrons only lived up to 50 yo and would get wiped out by cancer or the Old Ones if they didn't go robot.

>>96496180
It should be possible to reverse biotransference. Their memories are still there to some degree. However the problems are that

1. Necrons know nothing about souls and pyskers. Reversing biotransference would require high level biomancy and understanding of the soul
2. They don't have any necron DNA or understanding of the necron soul. So it would basically be like "becoming human, but with the memories of a necron/necrontyr." Still probably an upgrade

>>96496189

>>96496182
Lol shut the fuck up you retard. Anything outside of guilliamn’s direct sight radius is business as usual.

>>96496198
also doesn't really do anything with flayer curse or the more spreading destroyer cults where they just go terminator mode (or their tomb gets absorbed into The Severed) because if you reflesh even the mindless you now have trillions displaced civilians from ages 0-49 that didn't make the cut for better bodies

>>96496186
>and the Tyranids are outside the galaxy
There are no other galaxies. The Tyranids are those one guys from Starwars.
>Orks are probably impossible to exterminate too.
You can cleanse a Planet of Orks, if you repeat this until there are no more Ork planets.

>>96496207
No. In The Infinite and The Divine both he and Orikan are salivating over the prospect of acquiring a necron corpse.

>>96496192
Pretty much, yes.

>>96496198
>It should be possible to reverse biotransference.
It is but another problem is that Necron's in addition to their own minds have super advanced AI running in their brains and that's one thing they wouldn't be able to take to their new flesh. So for all we know they wouldn't be even able to run their advanced tech as most of it was created while they were robots with C'Tan knowledge. They would get wiped out if they reversed the biotransferance.

These retards discussing tau wipeout wars are forgetting inperium logistics are so fucked it'd take like 400 years to do the paperwork to get a crusade set up

>>96496210
their endless meaningless bickering keeps the thread alive. theyre just living out the ethos of the universe they study. very meta.

When the fuck is HH getting new termiantors so I can steal them for thousand sons

Sneaky

>>96496216
Guilliman has proven that he can bitchslap the High Lords of Terra any time he wants and that nothing escapes his sight.

Besides, like 90% of Imperium worlds are civilized worlds. The Imperium is actually a very nice place to live.

Didn't the tau have some kinda retcon from where they went from a genuinely hopeful n good faction to just another grimderp where the ethereals are 1984ing the whole society? If so the imperium has nothing to worry about lmao they'll have a calamity soon and humans won't be attracted to joining the emp

every time i look at early ed art and minis i'm flabbergasted at how this game survived and grew into what it is today.
a grog warhammer store employee told me it was basically DMs and guys who had tons of DnD minis and wanted something else to do with them

>>96496518
I wonder how day to day life is for orcs, like do they have jobs and commerce that's not war related?

>>96496539
Just... read the lexicanum? It describes their society in detail.

>>96496521
Take a look at the art and minis of the competition.

We all agree that the MKX armor is almost perfect, and its only flaw is the knees?
Look how good it looks when you file the knees of the armor.

>>96496568
god I hate these dynamic poses so much

>>96496568
Marines are so goofy

Another reason to assume that Tau technological 'superiority' is nothing but propaganda is that we never actually see it in action anywhere.

Tau Barracuda fighters? About as good as Imperium Lightning fighters.

Tau Hammerhead tanks? About as good as Imperium Leman Russ tanks.

Tau spaceships? Usually inferior to Imperium spaceships.

Sure, the Tau Fire Warrior is probably a little better than an Imperial Guardsman on average.....but that's because the Tau bother to give their infantry the good stuff. If the Imperium bothered to give the Imperial Guard all Carapace Armor and the best rifles they can make they would absolutely be more than a match for Fire Warriors too.

Probably the only area where the Tau actually exceed the Imperium in anything is tactics. But that's about it.

>>96496581
I'm the books Tau tech runs circles around imperial tech. If they were closer to the lore, fire warriors would be 400 point units. But that wouldn't sell models, so they have shitty units so you have to field lots of them.

It's weird that out of all the terminators, Indomitus are the only ones with the ribs on their limbs. Saturnine have supports on the outside of their legs, but so do Centurions.

No I didn't check the points I know these boxes are insane but this is what I'd want.

>>96495988
Follow up, is it allowed for a unit to have an axe and a power fist? I have no idea if it'd actually be allowed/good but the idea just seem cool.

>>96496909
There aren't many dual wielding melee options left in any armies but people don't really care about wysiwyg anymore, if you really wanna go for it you can give them a holster with a pistol in it to count as their ranged being modeled

>>96496889
It does, I don't have the cited source but months ago somebody here posted a quote from some GW employee saying the same thing about how AL never decloak like those paintjob models and somebody here had a source from some HH(?) book where an AL did have a device to change his armor's appearance

I would bet if you check the 4chan archives you can find them uploaded to this very general back when PDFs could still be shared here. Any mega links are going to be long dead though.

>>96495522
No, but their shapers are always careful to ensure that they don't eat too much.

>>96497108
Huh. Finding out new things about your guys every month. I never noticed you painted the reinforcements silver before. I thought it was just highlighted white/ gray.

I thought I had a good idea for how to do my own OC SM Chapter, but it really wanted robes on everybody. Extremely knightly Dark Angels successor. So I watched some youtube tutorials on how to do greenstuff robes. They made it look pretty simple so I ordered some greenstuff and set to work.

Compete disaster. No part of the basic mechanical process went as it did in the videos.

So fuck it, bad idea, too ambitious, even if it went well it would have massively added to how long it would take me to actually get this army tabletop ready. So it's scrapped and now I'm back to square one.

>>96497108
BLAnon blowing out sallyfag yet again. Always happy to see.

>>96497171
Pls gib robomusclemommy.

Also finished the head on the forgefiend. This is the biggest plasma thing I've painted so far, anything I should polish before I varnish it up?

>>96496855
Votann
Eldar
Space Marines (either Blood Angels or Black Templars but I'd bet Blood Angels)
CSM

>>96497180
You did osl around the lower vents, but I cant tell if you did for the eye, did you?

>>96497183
I did but it's very subtle since it's over a metallic.

>>96497171
Did you let the greenstuff cure a bit before trying to sculpt it? Did you wet your tools? Did you even use proper silicone sculpting tools?

>>96497187
My only suggestion then would be to add a very small highlighting over the hottest parts of the coils in yellow. The vents are currently very reddish/orange in tone and this will add just a touch more contrast and sell the osl effect. I gave a quick touchup in paint to show what I mean.

>>96496872
there are 3 dedicated AL novels

Shroud of Night - pure dumb cawadooty bolter porn about how cool and badass Alpha Legion are

Sons of the Hydra - classic AL, schemes and plans but with the twist that the AL themselves are so emmeshed in secrecy and schemes it has become deceptively easy to trick them

Renegades: Harrowmaster - very fun book about one AL guy being like, "guys, we're very good at being sneaky and tricky, but at some point we should try winning a war" and bringing together several warbands to go do that. The different warbands almost feel like intentional license for you to build an AL army that is dedicated to a god or has lots of tanks or whatever.

>>96496315
reminds me of that one warhammer fantasy comic.

Evening gentlemen how are we all on this fine Sunday Evening in America?

>>96497192
proper silicone sculpting tools, I was using a thin layer of vaseline instead of water, I started by trying to do the torso part of the robe so I only let it sit for a few minutes, if I had gotten to the skirt I would have given it like 40 minutes

How do black templars regard their techmarine after they've been double indoctrinated by the machine cult?

>>96497204
currently listening to a lecture in another tab because I horrifically procrastinated on an assignment

Reminder that the entire reason Warhammer is fucking up its own lore by making everything in it genuinely unpleasant (to the point of being void of entertainment value) is because if they don't, Keir Starmer is shoving his fist up the ass of each and every Games Workshop employee.

>>96497143
Been doing that

>>96497198
Alright, I think this is it.

Getting my shit kicked in by Tau next week, it's gonna be great

>>96497238
yeee that looks sick. Glad my suggestion helped.

I have a relative who is getting into 40k and I want to mail him some stuff to start his hobby.

Will I get in legal trouble for mailing a hobby knife or will the package get stopped if it has a hobby knife or both?

>>96497265
Mailing from Canada to uk forgot to add.

>>96497200
I recommend staying away from Mike Brooks stuff. He's easily the worst BL writer and all of it is just slop written as fast and lazy as he can.

>>96497239
just use your powerful psyker abilities to defeat them!

>>96496568
Should’ve used a stock MK X model, this uses parts and modifications to make it look like MK VII.. or its bait, in that case have a (you)

>>96497273
Mike Brooks isn't bad, and he's nowhere near the worst as long as Nick Kyme draws breath

>>96496939
Same but I’m not holding my breath

>>96494549
Trying to level up my leather and highlights

>>96497287
Tell me as someone who doesn’t read bl why brooks is bad and how nick is worse, please.

>>96497317
Brooks is bad because he writes BL novels. Nick is worse because he also writes BL.

>>96497313
Might wanna go another step with the leather highlighting, take it brighter with a light olive. Maybe karak stone?

>>96497287
brooks writes like chat gpt, kyme is just a retard

So ever since I started doing basing on my minis I've been thinking about tackling more terrain for things.

What is a good 'base' to use for the terrain? I've seen a few folks mention MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)

>>96497363
Kyme… he changes his mind and adds silly things a lot. Like the red eyed dark skinned ex-chapter auxillary human they meet on some bumfuck hive world. Despite Nocturneians having normal features and not red fucking eyes if they didn’t get Vulkan’s daddy goop.

>>96496782
I like them in metallics

>>96497218
It only matters if you fail the assignment

>>96497317
I don't think Brooks is bad, Kyme is bad because he writes incredibly unnecessarily long prose, his writing just meanders all over the goddamn place, taking a page to get across what a better writer could in a couple paragraphs. And his plotting is very bad. Just at the basic story structure of "thing A happens, causing thing B, but at the same time thing C is happening and they intersect leading to thing D" he sucks at that

So if you combine those two attributes, you get long, boring books. Reading them feels like wading through the shallow end of a pool. I have never actually finished one of his books without resorting to skimming. You can read a few sentences on each page and lose nothing.

Also I can't recall him ever creating an interesting character. Not one.

...so how does this fit a dozen dudes

>>96497494
Very carefully
Tech-marines are also masters of Tetris.

>>96497494
The miniatures are not true to the actual scale of things in-universe.

>>96497494
Vehicles in 40k aren't truescale. They are shrunk down pretty significantly as a gameplay abstraction even going back to Rogue Trader 80s days.

They're the only Imperium faction overdue for a new Battleforce box (SoB/Knights last year, Guard the year before that) so I guess they're up next. No matter what they include in this box it'll still have the worst savings of the bunch due to being AdMech

Messing with a lighter iirc

Looks like either the lighter broke and sprayed him with the fuel a he lit it, or he already has some kind of flammable substance on his skin and didn't realize it.

>Hammer of Wrath: Each time this unit ends a Charge move, select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of it, then roll one D6 for each model in this unit that is within Engagement Range of that enemy unit: for each 4+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

Would I lose my fight phase with my jump packs if hammer of wrath removes every model from engagement range?

>>96497661
No, you pile in and swing.

Poast what ur working on /40kg/

>>96497676
Crop your fucking images retard phoneposter.

Lovely techinator

Can't pile in if it's the charge phase.

just cheat

>>96497686
Who cares, pile in and fight you dumb nigger.

There's something oddly charming about metal minis

>>96497676
I'm painting old 3rd edition metal servo skulls. The ones that just stick up on a metal rod.

>>96497725
Yup

>>96497001
I can't wait for the people who have definitely been die hard smelldar fans for ages to come out of the wet work and claim the entire faction is ruined due to a detail smaller than a grain of rice

>>96497203
That one is so good

>>96497725
My problem with them is that most of them are old as fuck and made from a soft metal, so there are literally decades of bumps and scratches very much noticeable on the surfaces. Makes it hard to paint them smoothly.

>>96497741
Real. The whole wraithbone shit a while back was making the fucking Himalayas out of a molehill.

>>96497313
But overkill on the black imo

getting a tank for my boys tomorrow. Repulsor or Vindicator?

>>96497725
it's because they're heavy, sculpted by hand and will have soulful imperfections that you don't get with CAD designed models
and because they're hand sculpted they're a joy to paint; anywhere that the sculptor could get his tools into you can get a brush into

>>96497760
Repulsor, there's a reason it's infamous for having an unreasonable number of guns

>>96497760
Vindicator

>>96497760
Mastodon or fell blade or ur gay

>>96497751
that is kinda part of the charm I think, its not supposed to be perfect.. an antique might have imperfections and damage but can still be beautiful.

Is there ever a reason outside of rule of cool to give crusader squads a ranged loadout?

Tell me about your crusade games anon

>>96497795
I dont actually play I just have a bunch of assembled graytide in a tacklebox and shitpost

>>96497792
>caring about anything besides rule of cool
Not 4 me personally

What are the slits n holes on Tau heads? Noses?

Olfactory organs, yes.

>>96497684
thanks! Pretty happy with how he's turning out so far

>>96497803
Was just asking in case there happened to be another reason. My plan is to make 2 20 man crusader squads, one melee one ranged, with the ranged one being firstborn (using old scouts and heresy marines with chains glued on). I think it could look good. But I should focus on getting my Marshal painted first… I’m dreading free handing the crusade badge but eh, we’ll see
>>96497816
Always anon, keep on trucking

>>96497777
>Mastodon or fell blade or ur gay
Holy shit.... Those digits, and he's an expert on gay. You better do what he says, anon.

These are 30k correct? What do i proxy them as in 40k?

Nü bröd soon?

>>96497853
>What do i proxy them as in 40k?
The the neat part. You don't. You use "Legends" rules.

>>96497853
You run the legends rules and play with people who aren't fags

>let buddy borrow an eversor for local event today

>>96497863
Someone stole them.

>>96497858
Tomorrow is the day it all finally makes sense

>>96497863
Looks like he's buying you a new eversor.

>>96497865
maybe but we've never really had problems with theft at the LGS here

>>96497868
its chinacast anyway so I'm not worried about the $4 mini just annoying and weird.

>>96497873
Events seem like the perfect time to steal shit, tons of new people around and everyone is too busy to pay attention.

>>96497798
Same..

Hey anons, tossing up between buying either Votann, Eldar or Blood Angels, for casual play with friends and maybe casual play in GW stores.

BA with one Imperial Knight ally would be my first preference, but I want the classic Rhino, classic Dreadnought and ideally Firstborn muhreens but I'll get Primaris if I can't get Firstborn at my LGS. Absolutely love the M113 look of the Rhino. The newer Dreadnoughts don't look as good as the Midhammer ones.

If I can't legally play those, or can't do it without it being too weak even for casual play, I'll go Votann/Eldar.

My question is:
>Can the Rhino be used with Primaris marines if I can't get Firstborn? Or is it just useless?
>Is the older Dreadnought still legal? If not, would people widely accept it being proxied for one of the newer ones? How much leeway do people usually give at GW stores?

>>96497893
If you really love firstborn marines just put them on the bigger base and model them with the primaris weapons.

>>96497893
You can always get recasts or secondhand for firstborn if not available at store
