ELF TITS

How long until those speed paint markers come out? I plan to move to them exclusively if they're any good. I hope it's soon.

>>96503822
>unironically falling for sloptube shilling

All the time

>>96503833
I like how you kept the original filename

So basically:
>Necrons have good lore but don't get enough of it
>Eldar lore has them losing so much it feels like the writers hate them
>Ork lore doesn't exist except in the books written for other factions
>Tau lore either has them being hyper-competent or complete retards with no in-between
>Imperium lore rarely if ever has any actual stakes involved for the Imperium

>>96503822
I paint all my models exclusively by chewing ochre and blowing it into my models. It's the only legitimate method of painting, anything newer is for hacks.

I'm glad Dark Eldar fans are happy and got what they deserved.

>>96503859
the new archon's kinda shit but Malys is alright. Better with the veil though

>>96503852
>Ork lore doesn't exist
NEWFAG ALERT

WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BUDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Who else needs a codex?

>>96503852

>>96503875
Me

>>96503875
Harlequins and Chaos Daemons for a start.

>>96503852
He's FELTED by LUSCIOUS ORK LORE!

>>96503852
Orks have some pretty good books and lore, its Tyranids who have all their stories written from the other sides PoV

>>96503852
He's RETARDED
He's DENTED
He's COMPLETELY IGNORANT OF THE ORIGINS OF 40K

settle the fuck down, the new Ork codexes don't have any of this shit in them. It's not his fault GW doesn't put lore in codexes anymore

>>96503899
Elaborate

>>96503901
Seeing as it's a direct contradiction of his primary claim of
>Ork lore doesn't exist except in the books written for other factions
It absolutely proves him wrong, ya dented dummy

It has been (almost) ten bours since Malys was revealed.
There has been no porn of her.
The Dark Eldar refresh is officially a failure.

>>96503802 (OP)
Mostly Dark Eldar, there aren’t any exodite as or craftworlds near them out by the Ghoul Stars.

>Rain of Perfidy Late-M38

>Following repeated raids on pilgrim fleets travelling through the region by unknown enemies the Coal Hearts hid a number of their own personnel and vessels among the fleets, hoping to draw out their foe. Initially this effort met little success with one of the pilgrim fleets disappearing in its entirety despite the additional guardians. Some months later a single vessel of alien origin was detected at the edge of the Quartinus Valenor system in a neighbouring sector. When the ship was boarded several Coal Heart marines and a handful of civilians were found and the true foe was revealed.

>The survivors on the ship had been captured by the mysterious enemy and barely managed to escape, seizing the alien vessel in the attempt. Drukhari raiders were using an unnamed and uninhabited world in the Ghoul Stars as a base to spread their influence through the region. The Coal Hearts responded in full force and engaged in a brutal struggle with the Aeldari pirates. The battle ended with one of the alien’s own vessels being boarded and deorbited into the webway gate they were using to ferry their plunder to Commoragh and reinforce themselves.

>While many of the aliens escaped retribution, those who remained were systematically tracked down and eradicated. The Kabal of the Obsidian Serpeant has never forgiven this slight and they have engaged in several attacks on isolated Coal Heart forces in the millenia since. Taking particular delight in raiding adjacent but less important regions where the Coal Hearts operate, using greater enemies to ensure the Astartes cannot focus on eradicating the pirates. Mocking messages about the Astartes’ powerlessness are left behind, typically spelled out in the corpses of those left behind.

I'm just getting into Adepta Sororitas. I decided to make a Bringers of Flame list, and I want to put a Palatine leading a squad of 10 Battle Sisters. What would be a good loadout for the battle sisters? Currently I have:
- Sister Superior w/ Power Weapon and Condemnor Boltgun
- Battle Sister w/ Simulacrum Imperialis
- Battle Sister w/ Multi-Melta
- Battle Sister w/ Meltagun
- 6x Battle Sister w/ Boltgun

(List aims to be thematic around Celestine, for casual and narrative play. I don't care about competitive play, but also don't want my list to be completely stupid either)

>>96503901
It's also old enough to drink in the US

>>96503906
New ork codices still have ork specific lore written from ork PoVs, so that anon is STILL wrong and A DUMB DENTED RETARD

WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BUDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

>>96503899
bae a cutie

>>96503917
Of their victims* fucking hack.

>>96503833
>>96503841
It's because it's you the owner posting it again hoping for someone to compliment it.

>>96503802 (OP)
>Do /yourdudes/ come into contact with eldar often?
/my dudes/ are a sub-sector in Nihilus with a three (soon to be four) way war between my Eldar dudes, my Imperial dudes, my Chaos dudes, and my Necron dudes.

>>96503907
40k almost had an official collab with that vtuber in the pic

>>96503822
aren't the AK ones the same thing but cheaper?

>>96503918
Did you drybrush that model?

>>96503937
Nobody's gullible enough to fall for this pathetic ACTUAL falseflag lmao

>>96503941
No the AK ones are normal opaque paint

>>96503939
Oh that would have been sick

>>96503918
I'm going to be honest with you anon, this looks like shit.
There are mold lines down her leg, hair and gun. It looks extremely dusty from the drybrushing and it has ruined the look of the hair

>>96503918
squad loadouts literally don't matter in practice, which is why GW got rid of space marine tactical squads. pick whatever one-of weapon you think is coolest.

>>96503943
Yes, I did some drybrushing for highlights. I need to get a new brush for that though. It's been my first model since taking a 2 year break, so obviously it's going to be a bit rough-looking. But I think it still looks okay enough for the tabletop

>>96503944
It is pretty pathetic to be the only one complimenting your stuff and samefagging in general.

>>96503939
>The rat
>Not Matara, the almost literal Nid

>>96503918
It depends on the loadout. Tbh Palatines aren't the best leader for a BSS squad. Cannoness make a better warlord or just leader for them. Or the time tested combo of Judith on her big hover chair + imagifier to make them impossible to shoot off the board. Lethal Hits doesnt really help meltas that much because they are so low volume in their attacks.

If you want to have the palatines lead something the best unit for them is a squad of novitiates with melee weapons, sister repentia squad for insane damage but total glass canon, or have her lead a squad of sacresants who actually can really benefit from the Lethal hits and make a great bodyguard unit for the palatine.

Of course, the palatine becomes even stronger in army of faith, bringers of flame is the shooty detachment and the Palatine is your melee specialist.

>>96503937
Its because they didnt like how often anon was posting it so now theyre posting it...more? Idk trolls are retarded.

>>96503931
I see chaos is growing in my pants.

>>96503931
Bae needs bigger tits.

Tyranids were my second 40k Army and I own 3.5k pts worth of them
Despite that I still have never played a game with them.
Why? Because I actually have to learn how to play the game. I play DG, C.Knights and Emp Kids
When I look at how to play Nids online I have to do shit like trading, punishing, board control etc.
I cant just do my regular move forward and mongo that wins me most of my games
My brain isnt big enough for that

>>96503954
The ranged weapons matter on that squad, especially if you take 3 or 4 of them. But yea, mostly true.

>>96503957
Welcome back anon!

>>96503967
don't bother, you're talking to the retard who keeps posting it to try and poison the well against that model

You vil vuy ze Kroot
You vil vield ze Kroot

Got a pile of midhammer stuff from around the early aughts from a dude. Some I'm gonna use for new/current armies but there's 5 grey knights I'm keeping. How should I paint them

>>96503953
That's okay. I have a really bad habit of not finishing any miniatures, because the highlighting process is too difficult for me. So "done, but bad" is better than "never done at all" for me.

>>96503965
To be fair, I picked most of the models just based on what looks cool

>>96503978
Thank you! Just spend the time finishing up my Palatine. Yeah, it looks like crap, but I am proud of finishing another miniature

Does anyone use these kind of holders for airbrushing? Are they useful?

>>96503996
I got one but I ended up using paperclips and cork more than I ever fussed with the clamps on that thing

>>96503995
>To be fair, I picked most of the models just based on what looks cool

I know, I'm just letting you know. Nothing says you can't model your palatine as a canoness as well. Sisters are really versatile with a little kitbashing or swapping parts around.

Imperium really needs a kick in the nuts to bring them down to size. Think about it. If the War for Armageddon was lost, the Imperium would've lost 1 hive world. Out of 32,380.

It would've lost .003% of its hive worlds.

The War for Armageddon didn't fucking matter, like at all. Nothing that happens to the Imperium fucking matters. It is literally too big to fail.

>>96503996
Yeah I use these sometimes. I usually just blu-tac stuff to a cork or something though

>>96503852
>it feels like
No anon it doesn't "feel like", the guy in charge of eldar lore literally said he hates elves.

>>96504013
>out of 32,380
pssssh, nah, it's more like 100,000 hive worlds total

>>96503852
>Tau lore either has them being hyper-competent or complete retards with no in-between
This one's very true. The minuscule Tau Empire being able to birth a minor chaos god is just plain retarded though.

>>96504001
>>96504014
I got 30 lads in subassembly that I'll use an airbrush to paint their armor, which saves a lot of time but the logistics are an issue. For individual models I got a single handle but for batch painting I'm open to ideas.

>>96504005
I like the looks of the Sacresants. What loadout would suit them? One spear on the Sacresant Superior and 9 sisters with halberds?

>>96503831
Mad because bad

>>96503833
Whoa you sure showed me

>>96503802 (OP)
>TQ
My scion force deploys to support sol blades, so they spend most of their time fighting Leviathan, but we have an eldar player in the crusade and we've both had to fight and team up a few times, so there's one Autarch we have interaction with if nothing else.

>>96504033
>The minuscule Tau Empire being able to birth a minor chaos god is just plain retarded though.
but anon, that's nothing. The Siege of Terra managed to birth the big three Chaos Gods. Yes, that singular battle on a single planet did that. Because the Emperor accidentally shattered time and space when he was fighting Horus, and all the negative emotions of the Siege were shot back in time to the creation of the universe, giving rise to the primordial Chaos gods. Yes, this means that Chaos created itself via a time paradox, somehow existing prior to having existed so that it could be the cause of its own creation. Yes, it is retarded. Yes, it is all Abnett's fault.

>>96504058
>The Siege of Terra managed to birth the big three Chaos Gods.
What youtuber did you get this shitty theory from

>>96504058
Expanding on the Horus Heresy was a mistake.

>>96504058
>The Chaos gods are re-retconned as being from terra despite there being more psychically powerful races in no short supply for 60 million years
I don't understand how some people are as bad at writing as they are, and why multi-billion companies keep hiring them?

>>96504087
This isn't actually from the books, he just made it up.
There is nothing in The End and the Death about the chaos gods getting created on terra

>>96504082
It's called the End and the Death Part 3 anon

>>96504099
Yes, I have read it.
Nowhere is this said, implied or even hinted at.
I want to know what it is that makes you think that it's the case.

>>96503859
Dark Eldar are in a place where their plastics are basically perfect, the new characters both look good but they aren't doing the guardians thing where they take a $40 10 man squad and make it into a $65 10 man squad for next to no improvement.

Kabalites still look great, wracks are still a fantastic kit, raiders/ravagers are packed full of soul. Incubi were always the odd man out because of their resin but that got fixed with their plastic kit years ago.

I'd rather they added new units to Dark Eldar than refresh any of the existing kits, and that's what happened.

My dream is still for a plastic tantalus, though.

>>96504105
illiterate

>>96504095
>man who hasn't read End and the Death Part 3 pretending like he has
lol
>>96504105
>Yes, I have read it.
Then how did you miss the entire segment where time and space literally unravel around the Emperor and Horus, the combined energies of the Siege of Terra leaking into the Warp and seeding it with the primordial energies of Chaos?

>>96504111
>>96504114
Show me literally anything, you can do that, cant you?

>>96504110
I really dont like her armor

Honestly thought this was a slot machine at first
I have a problem

Feel Like Pure Shit Just Want Her Back x

>>96504127
Please don't give GW any ideas

>>96504143
I really want to see what the slots are like on Terra

>>96503802 (OP)
TQ
>That one time a phoniex lord was ganked by a half dead night lords team

>>96504047
Why do you respond to him?

>>96504127
LETS GO GAMBLING

>>96504119
Do you really not understand that part? What did you think was happening when it talks about time itself shattering from their psychic power clashing, anon?

>>96504110
i feel like the haemonculus should at least get a new model though to be fair other than the talos/cronos the coven line never appealed to me.

>>96504033
>a minor chaos god
It's not really a chaos god, just a warp entity.

Think of it like Hashut for the Chaos Dwarves.

>>96504162
>Hashut
First, you shouldn't assume people know what Warhammer fantasy is. Second Hashut is minor chaos god

>>96504177
Like Moloch, right?

So with Dark Eldar getting jack shit this edition is this what 11th will look like?

>Model refresh
Dark Eldar
Grey Knights
Imperial Guard (Catachan refresh like how 9th was Cadian and 10th was Krieg)

>Second wave
World Eaters
Emperor's Children
Custodes

>Equal Attention Cake
Space Marines

>A couple of new things
Orks
Chaos Space Marines
AdMech
Necron

>One or two new units, maybe a Kill Team
Tau
Eldar
Votann
Sisters
Thousand Sons
Death Guard

>Maybe a pity model
Knights
Imperial Agents

>>96504157
Time stood still, space was fucked with. I am not at all saying it didn't. All the wacky teleporting from a library to the Vengeful spirit was very clear.
I'm asking why is it that you think that seeded the chaos gods?

>>96504177
Okay well either way, the emphasis is on the minor part. They're not part of the Big Four, they're insignificant outside of their small domain where they're worshipped.

>>96503961
This was before Matara debuted, GW was in talks with covercorp to have some cross-promotional streams with their Chaos vtuber to hype up the upcoming 9th ed codex.

>>96504181
Eldar get squatted and fabius bile invents primaris CSM

>>96504180
Is that a typo?

would buying a 2nd copy of the base 10e starter set be a decent idea for tyranids? I just want more cheap infantry

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Post models!

>>96504207
If you just want more Termagants you can usually find 10 + a ripper swarm for like $20 on ebay. Hell there's a listing right now asking $30 for 20 with free shipping right now.

Imperial agents expansion is coming!! I can feel it!!
>TQ
My inquisitors find genestealers cooler
>>96503918
Meltas for sisters!! Anything with heat/flames involved!!
>>96503892
I feel a lot of Ork lore is similar to Tyranid lore in the sense that you hardly get stories about them and most of their lore is centered around their society/anatomy and how it all functions and works in neat ways. The nids with their xenobiological descriptions of bioweapons and stonach acids and the orkz with their squiggs and scrapheep contraptions. I haven't read any ork books though so I might be biased towards this viewpoint, I heard very horrid things about that one with like the Kunning Kruelty or whatever from that obnoxious author with the shitty mohawk I can't remember the name of. Haven't heard much negativity for anything else though
>>96503852
You can have kino imperium books it's just that the imperium is so damn big that something like the siege of vraks wouldn't affect the imperium much and for anything to have stakes you would need like a edition defining catastophre or some really crazy ass Mary Sue shit with superpowered protagonists that aren't as interesting to read about because of it

>>96504212
not for another edition at least

>>96503802 (OP)
>Do /yourdudes/ come into contact with eldar often?
I've actually been mulling that over. /mydudes/ are orks led by a particularly eccentric warboss who has only gotten worse after half his face got blasted off and replaced with bioniks I'm using the Mozrag Skragbad model as the base of my kitbashed Warboss, so I was considering having him have vague memories/visions of the War in Heaven and be an ally to Eldar as per "da auld akkords". So while his WAAAGH would have no problem warring with eldar he'd sooner side with them first, especially if the enemy in question are necrons.

I dunno, I just like the idea of an ork warboss who casually asserts the ancient alliance as if it's the most natural thing in the world. Kind of like pic related.

>>96504153
More like she shredded them with minimal effort and then fell for the old "hidden grenade" asspull at the last second.

>>96504213
People shit on these whenever I post them because theyre monopose but I like em.

>>96504212
How do dark eldar even reproduce? Having sex and having children and raising them in any way doesn't seem to really gel when your entire society is made of cartoon villains

>>96504213
my eventual collage submission

>>96504231
They grow babies in vats

>>96504231
Usually only the nobles reproduce naturally, most of the other time cloning and regrowth is involved.

>>96504231
They are mostly grown in vats
Natural birth is only for the hyper powerful and influential and it's mostly just a flex.

>>96504218
I live in Canada so the ebay options end up costing more than half a starter set

>>96504238
He stole the timbs and went jogging, damn

>>96504231
They have "trueborn", which are naturally born elites, and "tankborn". The latter are exactly what they sound like.

>>96504213
Postan
>>96504228
These guys are cool, you should buy a box of the corpsegrinder guys and do more of them
>>96504154
Means I get to post my dude more. Win win in my book

>>96504188
Hashut is the god of tyranny. I think he'll be pulling quite a few souls even with-out direct worship.
Hashut can do things, many very impressive things.
This a problem, I don't want the Tau'vesa or whatever it's called doing things. I hope it ends up like the other two 40k minor gods and just evaporates, and is this weird shit background detail they forgot to retcon.
That's not going to happen though, it's being set-up so it can do things, and that's bad because it's existence is stupid.

>>96504190
They could at least pick one of the talents that actually knew what 40k is. Calli painted on stream which, even if it was just trend-chasing, at least means she owns models.

>>96503995
>based on what looks cool
if you asked based on whats look cool than why are you asking for game advice??

>>96504231
Like everyone else said, they raise the in cloning vats.

Dark Eldar DO have romantic feelings and will actually form some amount of friendships/bonds/relationships. They're just all subject to the usual level of backstabbing and histrionic over-emotionality that they will be understandably unstable, on top of them all being sadists even to those they love.

But the point is: They're not skaven.

>>96504268
True, but that probably was just GW/covercorp autism about having a chaos related talent be the one involved.

/my dudes/ are eldar so yeah

>>96503868
>the new archon's kinda shit
They gave use picrel back (but better), which everybody said they liked more than the last sculpt, and mf's still complain.

primaris chaos marines when?

>>96504257
Thanks anon. Yours looks great

>>96504224
Cope however you want, your 'Primarch Equivalent' got squashed like a bug.

>>96504305
>gave use picrel back (but better)
>(but better)
X

>>96504305
This is the one time Ill say old good and nu bad

>>96503990
What changed to make kropt meta? Are we entering a horde meta or something

>>96504319
aren't phonix lords chapter master equivalant?

Lorefags are the only thing worse than paintfags.

>>96504319
>Primarch power scaling
Sorry, anon. I didn't know you were "special needs".

>>96504326
Nothing changed. People are kitting out for Knight meta and can't handle 200 Kroot.

>>96504341
>lore
go back

You can't just join gene stealer cults and you have to be born into it?

>>96504347
You can become infected i believe.

>>96504326
It turns out there are three types of skew list. Your list can't tech for all three. One of those three only requires painting 10 models and using 45 minutes of your clock to be good. It gets teched against because it's the one you'll see, even if it's worse than the other two skew options.

>>96504354
idk much about GSC but is it like your kids will look like mutants or will you eventually look like one?

>>96504181
Eldar are due a pity model edition for 11th, probably just karandras

>>96504322
Just put the horned helmet on this guy and it's the same shit, only with more detail and a pose slightly more dynamic than "just standing there...menacingly!"

>>96504354
Yeah but by the primarch genestealer, and then you become a first generation hybrid which isn't a good thing. You can't just pick up a gun and start shooting Imperials, and get hooked into the broodmind.

>>96504374
>the tactical rock is good now because of dynamic posing

>>96504319
Primarchs are like 300 pts on the table top, Phoenix lords are like 100-130

>>96504316
What practical purpose would that serve? The new csm are already rescaled in height.

>>96504347
You can join the Patriarch's brood, you just won't be a hybrid. Genestealer's Kiss allows the patriarch to mind control people.
>>96504365
Not you but your kids will become hybrids, the level of which depends on who infected you. Patriarch's off-spring will be 1st gen Acolytes, 1st gen acolyte's off-spring will be 2nd get acolytes and so on. The off-spring of 4th Neophytes will result in Purestrains Genestealers, who will go across the galaxy to become their own patriarchs and restart the cycle.

>>96504305
>>96504322
>>96504323
Let's review
>Posture
New has a more dynamic pose, slightly larger tactical rock. Generally a more open stance, maybe a little easier to paint.
>Options
New one has multiple options for heads, including the old helmet, as well as weapons, and two torso options for male and female. The loincloth also has two options, one crisp and one ragged, and it looks like two options for details to go over the cloth as well?
>Details
New one is missing the dagger on the belt. The face emblem on the shoulderpad has been changed, but honestly would likely look fine if painted solid like the old one. I guess the mantle is missing the fur? Maybe?
Honestly they could have done far, FAR worse.

>>96504335
If we want to talk power wise, they're barely Captain level.
'Importance' wise they're Eldar Primarchs.

>>96504110
I love Archon Shadowheart

Couldn't I kill a Space Marine Captain if I shot him in the neck with like a 20mm?

>>96504426
Yeah, easily.

>>96504374
>Just put the horned helmet on this guy and it's the same shit,
lol no

>only with more detail and a pose slightly more dynamic
I don't know who the fuck ever asked for tactical rocks, monopose, and more extraneous detail than a Final Fantasy character, but I hope they suffer.

do this cape seem much for a vanvet sergeant

>>96504426
You could kill a Space Marine Captain if you shot him in the neck with a normal rifle round. The trick is finding yourself in a situation where the author let's you shoot him at all.

>>96504426
Without a helmet on any caliber could kill a space marine, their skulls aren't made of steel.

>>96504434
You weren't going to buy it anyway.

>>96504440
>any caliber could kill a space marine
wrong

>>96504440
You fool, a Marine with his helmet off gets the Plot Advantage, causing bullets to randomly fly around him and only hit the heavily armored areas where they can't penetrate.

>>96504447
is this your final cope?

>>96504450
Are you saying a 9mm to the eye will do nothing?

>>96504458
it'll blind the eye only

>>96504436
Nah I think it works

>>96504434
I already have like 5 different Archons, so they'd have to give me a real banger to get me to buy.

I'm mildly considering the Shadowheart Malys.
Shoulders seem too wide, but maybe maybe if I can clip those massive shoulder pads, I can make it work.

>>96504269
Because why not? There's no reason not to talk about something I like and get views from other people

So a lore accurate battlesuit is basically an Armored Core...

>>96504412
>options for female
Am I honestly expected to accept this as a "female" from the supposedly greatest 28mm miniature company in the world?

>>96504479
Yes

>>96504479
>armored core
Not even fucking close. Crisis cuits are barely even mecha.

>>96504479
They're marine sized and not building sized but other than that yeah. It's surprising a lot of people get mad when they're compared to marines but the sheer versatility of those things is absolutely insane

>>96504479
Armored Cores are actually effective in melee combat so no.

>>96503918
Good load out for the squad, you can also run a dialogus in that squad to sneak in an auto wound melta shot with a miracle dice, not sure how efficient it is points wise but it always pisses off my opponent so I'll always bring it.

>>96504496
uwot

>>96504496
It's hilarious that anyone would try and compare them. Crisis suits canonically are faster, more agile, stronger and more durable than a marine. They're more durable than terminator armor for crying out loud.

>>96504483
what do you consider mecha?

>>96504455
Not cope, it's just a fact.

>>96504436
not sold on this pose 2bh o&t anon
it kinda looks like he's pointing in befuddlement, saying "it was YOU?"

>>96504447
I would buy it, if was good.
As evidenced by the unnecessarily large number of archon models I have.

I fucking love the Decimator.

>>96504528
These look great but aren't they a bitch to put together? Been meaning to pull the trigger on them but I hear bad stuff.

>>96504479
depends on which battle suit your talking about, but potentially yes, depending on the piloet of what amored core your comparing too.

>>96504528
Perfect counter balance to the Primaris dread,

>>96504231

>Genestealer's Kiss allows the patriarch to mind control people.
Fucking pardon? How do Eldar, T'au or anyone root genestealers out if they can just control your mind?

>>96504510
Not a battlesuit, thats for sure.

>>96504543
what about the mecha's in the starship trooper book?

I might buy the high heeled elf slut mini

>>96504496
The area where Marines REALLY excel is in indoor fighting, CQB, and boarding actions.

This is also the area where the Tau tend to be weakest since they just have to rely on Fire Warriors for this job.

That said...Fire Warriors are still a good chunk ahead of most Imperial Guardsmen so they're not totally inept. It's more similar to Space Marines vs Tempestus Scions. The Scions are no Space Marines but they're the best non-augmented infantry you're gonna get.

>>96504480
'Eavy Metal cannot paint female faces. They simply don't know how. I'll reserve judgement until I see what people who can actually pain do with it.

>>96504554
I think the funniest part of this is that while Eavy Metal can't PAINT faces, Games Workshop the company can at least SCULPT them. New Malys doesn't make me want to kill myself for instance.

>>96504554
:0 whoah

>>96504553
>Imperial Guardsmen... totally inept
More training than any modern soldier

>>96504553
I still love the fact that tau made breacher squads because whitescars kept boarding tau ship and riding around on bikes through the hall ways.

>>96503996
I do but mine are home made from a box of alligator clips stuck on the end of bbq skewers and the "holder" is just a ton of cardboard box offcuts taped together. I use it for painting everything. I only base minis towards the end of painting.

>>96504530
Huge pain in the ass. The trick is to build them from bottom up where you position their legs on the base first and then build it up from there. Insta set is also very helpful as it cures superglue instantly.

>>96504564
depends on the regimnet.

>>96504554
Even ignoring the face, it's still clearly a dude body with some oddly-shaped boob armor tacked on.

>>96504577
Women can get muscles if they work out. Do they lose their second X chromosome if they lift too much iron.

>>96504554
>'Eavy Metal cannot paint female faces
correct

>>96504589
I'm talking about the archon.

Yeah and what can you guys paint

>>96504538
Wrong photo.

>>96504594
I can paint your insides white ;)

>>96504577
Sure, but that's just the reality of trying to make one kit both sexes. The new Malys looks like it wouldn't be hard to kitbash into a custom female archon. Just a head swap and new left arm.

What edict is the Burb delivering?

>>96504594
I can paint robots. I'm a little worried about having to paint actual faces for the first time on my new army, I picked up some guilliman flesh contrast as apparently it works alright.

>>96504564
But not particularly good equipment.

>>96504594
people here have no leg to stand on when talking about painting faces lmao

if im building an ultramarine army for 2k points is it a waste to run 1 knight as a guest/allied unit? i know they are suboptimal but i just think they are cool.

what are some MUST use units for ultras if i want to win a few games eventually? total noob btw not baiting ....

Imperial Guard are like North Koreans. They're well-motivated, well-trained, and poorly equipped with shitty tactics and bad leadership.

>>96504646
For setting? Not particularly, no. On the table the only army worse than them is GSC and the edge cases (Tyranids and Daemons). The equipment is better than any modern military and better than the majority of Imperial forces.

>>96504656
>well-trained
>with shitty tactics
???

>>96504594
i get bullied for posting any models i paint bc i just started collecting and painting this year. its honestly pretty discouraging hearing my models get crapped on all the time.... i just wanna have fun lore battles :(

>>96504665
Nobody bullied you for this last two times you posted it you sympathy-baiting fag

>>96504663
You can be very well-trained but be trained wrong. For example, the Death Korp of Krieg are some of the scariest WW1 style soldiers you'll ever meet.

But they're trained for fucking WW1 style warfare. This, naturally, is not a good matchup for facing the Tau.

>>96504673

This is the only 5th chaos god i'll accept

>>96504553
>indoor fighting, CQB, and boarding actions.
O'Kais in War of Secrets
And Farsight in Crisis of Faith disputes that.

>>96504742
Compared to the Imperium, yes. Large sections of the T'au empire (the Tau) have the psychic weight of a tree, and large portions of the human part still worship the Emperor.
Yet the False God Emperor barely exists.

>>96504697
Marines Malevolent.

>>96504751
Name three.

>>96504766
The Imperium is the largest empire currently in the galaxy, though it was reduced by half.

It's like saying that Iran isn't massive because America exists.

>>96504777
Iran is miniscule compared to the Sun.

>>96504765
Those are singular individuals with high-grade battlesuits. They are good in close-quarters but they're not reproducible on a mass-scale like Space Marines are.

>>96504791
O'Kais used a Ghostkell
Shadowsun uses a commander XV8 suit.
They aren't using special suits.
Only Shadowsun uses one-of-a-kind stealth suit.

>>96504801
>Shadowsun uses a commander XV8 suit.
>Only Shadowsun uses one-of-a-kind stealth suit.
bruh

>>96504801
Ghostkells are expensive though. They're like the Tau's equivalent of Terminator suits.

According to Above And Beyond, Eldar love cuddling, but only after a fresh bath.

>>96504086
Writing 20+ books from the perspectives of demigods was the issue. The entire heresy series should have been word of mouth from bias sources. Imagine the death guard books written by a world eaters fag or a taufag writing several of the thousand sons books. Just tales and legends that are mostly lies so big men can shoot at each other.

>>96504808
They are no longer prototypes. They are being mass-produced.

Where is the text about the Siege of Terra creating the Chaos Gods? That would change out understanding of 40K profoundly.

>>96504812
No we are complaining nations in 40k. If you want a real country analogy the Imperium is like America and the T'au are like Luxembourg.
If chaos gods were real, America would make one long before Luxembourg would.

are elder worth considering for a secondary army or should I stick with sisters?

>>96504727
Because they fucking suck

>>96504822
Fully agree, having primarchs and the emperor speak and act quite normally is very off putting when you have built them up in your head to be these eerie mythological figures of a long gone era.

>>96504845
they're way better than plasma pistols
look better too

>>96504843
play marines

>>96504727
bro everyone converted inferno pistols for years. They used to be metal only. Add a flamer tip from a space marine flamer or an IG Cadian flamer

>>96504841
The Imperium is about 1 million worlds.
The Tau are larger than Ultramar, with reported numbers of the Gue'vesa being in the hundreds of billions.

>>96504852
inferno pistols
not hand flamers

>>96504852
marines are my primary army. just looking for a fun and cool secondary

>>96504850
6 inch range just makes them so impractical, I'd take plasma over them anyday

The Imperium is more like Russia than America.

And the Tau are like....South Korea.

>>96504853
>reported numbers of the Gue'vesa being in the hundreds of billions.
A few hundred civilized worlds should balance that out.

melta end bitz are as big as an entire heavy bolt pistol, that would look horrible

so at first glance I figured that dark eldar battle force would be good value, but I was thinking in combat patrol prices (which would make sense given how each sku goes for like £25 each)

why the utter fuck would anyone pay £150 for 15 year old models

No. We are talking about how much is needed to spawn a Chaos God.
Hundreds of billions + the other populations of aliens sounds about right.

>>96504926
Sister of Blood Angels? If sisters each box of seraphim comes with 4 inferno pistols and that squad usually runs hand flamers to wipe home objective sitters so the infernos are always spare.

Dunno what this argument is about but yes, there are like 30,000 hive worlds and they all have billions to trillions of people.

But the Tau also have planets with trillions of people on them now too. Not as many as the Imperium obviously but they use their population much more efficiently.

Heidilly ho fellow lamenterino! Feeling a little glum today as usual?

>>96504964
OK bitch. Let's see what Lexicanum says
>There are often several thousand hives on a single Hive world.
https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Hive
>The Hive City is five miles in height and home to billions of people.
https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Hive_Primus

Are we done? Hive worlds have many, many billions of people.

>>96504975
>fewer people living in tau hive cities than there are tyranids
Alright GW. Tyranid chaos god when. We got to make everything chaos so let's get it over with. Rip the band aid off fast.

>>96504957
But it's funny

>>96505021
I mean that's pretty much what the greater Hive Mind is...

>>96505007
Greater Deamons are made by the Chaos gods and only exist as fragments. Everything existing independently in the warp is a Chaos God.

>>96504993
She looks like her face is gonna open like in men in black and a tiny grey alien is going to be sitting inside with his little chest rising and falling and he looks up at you and says "orions belt" and dies

>>96505021
Tyranids are anti-chaos by nature. For a similar reason, there is no necron Chaos god.

>>96505016
Bitch go over the list of hive worlds and their pops. Not some generalised text.
And that's wrong. Most hive worlds have a dozen or so hive cities.

Scions are more experienced and deadlier. They are elites often compared to Space Marines.
Fire Warriors are just grunts. The edge they have is their tech.

>>96505117
Sounds like fun :3

>>96505021
Ok so I was gonna make a joke that the GHR is the tyranid chaos god but nids have that fucky shadow that daemons hate so idk if they could even have a god

>>96505060
Oh shit, is Warhammer lore inconsistent? No fucking way, this is the first time I'm hearing this!

Fuck off secondary

>>96505030
Given the way this thread is going I'm just gonna assume this is a vtuber.

>>96505131
The thing is, the Chaos gods are made up of the emotions of mortals expressed in the Warp. All the hate coalesced into Khorne, the obsession into Slaanesh, etc. They are gestalt entities created from little bits of uncountable trillions of souls across all space and time.

Tyranids have one soul. The hivemind. The Shadow in the Warp is the psychic presence of this unimaginably vast singular entity. So there's nothing to coalesce because it's all in one place already.

So you couldn't have a Tyranid Chaos god, but arguably the Shadow in the Warp functions kinda a bit like a Chaos god

>>96505132
Nope. It's consistent. Most Hive worlds barely break over 10 B, going by the list.
All you have is a poorly worded sentence that the author of the wiki added in.
Numbers, on the other hand, don't lie. Go over the list or admit that you are a lorelet.

>>96505153
>Nope. It's consistent.
>All you have is a poorly worded sentence that the author of the wiki added in.
The lines I quoted were cited. Lexicanum is usually pretty solid about that stuff, and you yourself are taking it as a reliable source. So we can assume they are accurately representing the lore.
A large hive can have "billons" of people, a hive world can have thousands of hives. Therefore, it's incredibly stupid to say that "no Hive City has over 10 million people" as you did.

I hope you take this as an opportunity to learn and grow.

>>96505149
Thank God there aren't any 40k vtubers.

>>96505177
Nope. The lexicanum often gets wording lore and sometimes adds text that isn't there.
The fact that you won't check the list means you conceded the point

I hope you grow some balls and be less autistic.

>>96505150
I was under the impression that the Warp and Chaos are technically two different things. Eldar and their gods are masters of the Warp, but not Chaos, but since the birth of Slaanesh Chaos is ascendent in the Warp. It’s how you have parts of the Warp where not even the Chaos gods will go, and it helps the connection to Fantasy where the Winds of Magic and Chaos come from the same source, and careless unsanctioned wizards may accidentally draw power from Chaos and summon demons similar to how unsanctioned Psykers unwittingly summon demons as well.

>>96505186
gets wording wrong*

>>96505186
I posted quotes with links, bitch. I am undeniably the more honest and thorough person in this argument.

The fact that you insist in this way simply proves you are trying to get attention because you want a little kiss.

Vtrannie simps leave. You have a whole dedicated board to wallow in your cancerous cringe, make use of it.

>>96505198
Nope, you did it. You posted a Lex page with citations.
And it doesn't address the main point. It's a deflection from the part that the majority of the named hive worlds across the history of the setting barely break 10 B.

>>96505205
claws don't sit right with me when it comes to the black templars desu

>>96505205
I generally agree. Lightning claws as fingers are peak aesthetic for chaos though.

>>96505206
We need to send letters to GW so they pull copyright on them. Keep the general pure.

Numbers are the least consistent part of 40k. Every single one of them is a complete asspull

>>96505211
>the majority of the named hive worlds across the history of the setting barely break 10 B.
First off, that's simply not true. I do not believe for one moment that a majority of the named hive worlds even have a stated population.

>>96505205
Wrist claws are good cuz you can retract them

>>96505227
By the way, I downloaded the source and checked it. The lex got it wrong as usual.
The section and Page 76 describes only Necromunda and its hives. It doesn't discuss what other hives are like. The text on the lex is fabricated.
You fucking cunt.

You should try the gw gemstone paints for other colour lenses, they behave the same as bftbg but come in 4 colours rather than 1

>>96505328
Slaanesh uses mirrors in his aesthetic, but owing to Tzeentch being all about crystals and reflections, I give it to him.

Have you considered 2000pts of dreadnoughts

>>96505353
How does your opponent react to the smell

>>96504224
>with minimal effort
>entire Eldar fleet blown to pieces by single Strike Cruiser
>Warhost which landed on Tsagualsa died fighting 20-30 Night Lords
>Phoenix Lord was slower than dying Havoc guy, who crippled her and then was blown apart by apothecary

>>96505469
This comment is stale

>>96505475
That smell might be your models

>>96505492
Why would paint smell?

>>96505495
Because my paints are bodily fluids

>>96505523
Wow interesting dude

>>96505495
>>96505523
Reminds me of the smell of cow shit that emanates from AP's brush on primer. Anyone else ever catch a whiff of that shit

>>96505472
They really hate the eldar.

>>96505548
I think it might just be there grays in general, went and sniffed a few bottles and they all have a faint shit smell. The primer is deff the worst though.

>>96505472
she was crippled after being allah ackbar'd by talos and while on the ground was stepped on by their dreadnaught

>>96505549
Get rekt, xeno scum. It's marines game and setting

>>96505591
>she was crippled after being allah ackbar'd by talos
Nope. Mercucian stabbed her leg before that.

>>96505178
>Thank God there aren't any 40k vtubers.
Aurelia Tempris, Eldar Custode.

>>96505683
Your entire faction sells less than a tactical squad box.

I recently learned about the Combat Patrol magazine. $15 a week and you get some free models. Seems neat.

I've exclusively played online and I've been wanting to get into tabletop. Is this a good deal to learn painting, or should I just stick to 3d prints?

>had time to paint today
>made some progress
No better feeling lads

>>96505729
Man I wish this shit would sell in france/belgium already.

>>96505645
>>96505650
CHAOS GODDESS VTUBERS WHEN?!

>>96505729
The price seems cheap but youre paying for a lot of minis for armies you presumably don't want to play.
Just start with killteam, there should be a dedicated general somewhere around here. Very small scale so low commitment, and it gives you an idea of what the greater tabletop 40k is about.

>>96505729
if you want to play tabletop it's probably better to focus on a single army to start with.

>>96505756
>The price seems cheap but youre paying for a lot of minis for armies you presumably don't want to play.
I figured it would be more for practice. I can imagine I'm going to shit the bed when I paint my first model, so I feel like it would be better to fuck up on an army I don't care about than one I do.
>Just start with killteam, there should be a dedicated general somewhere around here. Very small scale so low commitment, and it gives you an idea of what the greater tabletop 40k is about.
I've been playing competitively on Tabletop Simulator since 7th Edition.

>>96505761
>I can imagine I'm going to shit the bed when I paint my first model, so I feel like it would be better to fuck up on an army I don't care about than one I do.
you can always strip the paint and come back to the early models if you're that unhappy with them.

>>96505761
>I figured it would be more for practice.
It is better to practice on the minis you actually want to paint. If you fuck up a mini you can just strip and it repaint later.

>>96505768
>>96505790
I was not aware this was possible.

>>96505761
>I've been playing competitively on Tabletop Simulator since 7th Edition.
Playing on tts is not at all how it feels to play irl.

If Dark Eldar ever get a refresh, imagine what sort of beauties we'll get. Actual supermodels. How pretty and passing is she? Very hot.

>>96505411
It looks pretty alright except for the Rhino. There’s no one that can go inside it on that list cause GW is strange like that. Unless you proxy it as a Impulsor that is.

>>96505178
>>96505628
There's also an inquisitor vtuber guy

>>96505734
>procrastinating on painting
>magnetize more models
It’s an alright feeling

>>96505761
>I've been playing competitively on Tabletop Simulator since 7th Edition.
Please leave. Go back to TTS and stay there. You aren't welcome here.

>>96505761
>being into the tabletop side of 40k without having a single model
Imagine having such cartoonishly terrible taste. People only tolerate the tabletop because it lets them use their cool minis and hang out with friends. The ruleset on its own is fucking terrible, why would you do this to yourself.

>>96505846
>>96505864
I hang out with friends online. It's fun to shoot the shit in a group chat over a game from the comfort of my own home with something else open on my second monitor.
And the rules are fine. I'm not a dramafag so I don't really know much about the controversies, I just log on and have a blast.

I play Digimon at my LGS and they have an entire section specifically for 40k. I figured I'd join in on a game night or two after putting together a small list.

I main Tau btw

>>96505878
>"maining" things
You should use the "main" exit out of here, tertiary. You are not welcome.

>>96505878
You smell of ESL.

>>96505878
I know you're full of shit because there's no such thing as a Digimon player, much less DIgimon locals.

I feel like if James doesn’t reveal them at Warhammer day I’m gonna buy some “old” Assault Terminators.

>>96505908
Honestly, if you don't hate the look and you're not playing in tournaments, that's probably fine.

>>96505878
Ignore the retards, that said if you want to get into the tabletop and have been playing on tts I'm sure you're aware of the fact that balance changes happen fairly often. You should also be aware that it costs a decent chunk of change, and a good bit of time, so I'd say it's not in your best interest to be painting models you don't really love.
>>96505893
Nta but my lgs has like 10-15 people in to play weekly

>>96504110
Not what I've expected (probably due to Yvarine's model originally meant to be Malys), but not bad, not bad at all.
Also, sword is a too big.

>>96505885
So >>96505756 and >>96505759 were wrong and the subscription's a good deal?
I might just get the first two editions and then cancel. $7 for a Captain, Hive Tyrant, three Von Ryans, and some clippers doesn't sound bad, although I do already own some godhands for my gunpla.

>>96505893
Three of the five LGSs near me run Digimon, it surprised me too. Turnout is only a dozen or so people, though.
You'd be right if I said Elestrals or Edison. Wish someone where near me actually ran them.

>>96503892
>its Tyranids who have all their stories written from the other sides PoV
Tbf, writing a hive mind POV sounds insane

>>96505919
Eat shit.

>>96505908
Should have gotten the blood angels ones

>>96505919
I think anon was crass with your use of a videogame term for a concept that doesn't really exist in the tabletop hobby.
"Maining" a faction/character implies that switching between them is easy and common. In the tabletop hobby, an army is a significant commitment of time, money and effort. You don't "main" an army, you have one.

>>96505908
Assault termies seem to be trivial to convert using the normal ones as a base. The only problem may be changing the power fist arm into a shield arm.

>>96505919
Just a heads up, God hand edges are tempered for use with more brittle Bandai plastic, gw plastic and non bandai plastic has been know to dull them

>>96505950
>hammer and shield assaults termies
retard

>>96505940
A combat patrol box is, what, $120?
Sure, having multiple 2000-point armies is probably unrealistic, but surely it's not rare to pick up a combat patrol box for a new faction every now and then is it?
Some older editions also allowed army mixing, like Riptide spam in every other list half a decade ago.

>>96505952
I did not know that, thank you for the heads up.

>>96505955
>choosing anything but the objectively coolest loadout
Tastelet.

>>96505963
It starts slow and then before you realize it you have 5 armies!

>>96505974
Im sitting at 12 or so.

>>96505729
As someone subbed to the magazine right now, it's a mixed bag. It really all depends on what you want from it, and I just kinda lucked out on most of the armies being offered either being ones I'm kinda interested in or already have
>Space Marines
Always good to have some Terminators around, working on combining it with the newer Salamanders stuff to make a full Salamanders list.
>Tyranids
One of the few armies I wasn't interested in, but since they're pushfit I was able to offload them onto a friend who kinda wants to get into 40k but is anemic to the idea of using plastic cement
>Eldar
This is what the US is currently receiving at the moment. I had zero interested in Eldar stuff at first but after putting together the Farseer and Wraithlord I'm fucking sold. Hell I even went and bought a second copy of the issue with the Wraithlord off ebay for $30 just so I could build another.
>CSM
I'm toying around with making Iron Warriors since you get Havoks, a Helbrute, and some Terminators. Plus I could snag the Maulerfiend from the World Eaters.
>Orks
Orks is Orks. Simple as
>Votann
That same friend who's anemic to plastic cement liked the aesthetic of the Votann (Mostly the Herkyn Pioneers since he has a motorcycle) so I'll probably put these together and then see if he wants to paint em.
>GSC
One of the other armies I wasn't too interested in, but since it's the old-ass GSC Combat Patrol I know the value's still there if I ever want to start playing them outside of Combat Patrol.
>Guard
IG's one of my main armies so more stuff wouldn't hurt (I could also use some basic bitch Cadians since I've only been really collecting Krieg for the most part).
>World Eaters
I already have this Combat Patrol so while 20 more Berserkers is always welcome, I have no clue what I'll do with the extra Jakhals.

tl;dr It's ok if you want most of the armies but if you're new just grab the Combat Patrol of your favorite faction instead of buying into 9 armies you might not want.

>>96505963
Or you could pick up that new unit for your army, or something to use for conversions, or that character you needed for that fluffy formation.

>>96505972
lightning claws are infinitely cooler fag

>>96505963
>I did not know that, thank you for the heads up
It's a mistake you only make only ill tell you what. If you live in Japan you can bring a pair of God hands to a God hand approved retailer and they'll send them back to the factory for you and sharpen them for you, but I haven't heard of anyone who isn't a Japanese native trying it.

>>96505989
I've noticed this sentiment from plamofags a couple times, is there something about working with glue specifically with Plamo plastic that makes them so worried?

>>96505993
Sorry can't hear your inane bleating over the sound of how awesome thss termies are.

>>96505963
Like $145+ USD after discounts actually.

>>96505628
Probably Bae

>>96506011
The majority of plamofags build the models straight up of the box, don't remove sprue gates or mouldlines and just mash stuff together

>>96506011
It's just them being snapshitters. Plamo that isn't gunpla is built with glue, these people don't even paint their gunpla and just low-effort snap the kits together and call it done.

>>96505683
>posts marines punching bag

>>96506046
>>96506047
As someone who used to do plamo myself, I can't fathom this. I used to religiously sand every piece down until the nubs were off, then meticulously color match every piece at the hobby store with a printed out picture.

>>96504847
They don't even act notmally though. Most act like childish retards squabbling and having tantrums. For godlike superhumans, they are all pretty subhuman.

>>96506087
I think a lot of normies with no patience and no willingness to looks stuff up buy them from hot topic, or their local comic store and then just build them. You'll meet a lot of people who have built a gundam, but way way less people who have painted a gundam

The executioner "shotgun"

>>96506178
Executioner rounds are self-guided micromissiles anon, not buckshot. It has been established in the fluff for ages, even Shia Calpurnia novels has them.

>>96506178
>shooting giant shotgun slugs cross map with a scoped shotgun
S0VL
Battlefield bad company 2 my beloved

can you make a SoB army without using any arco flagellants? or will that put too many holes in my army?

>>96506011
>>96506046
It's not plamo its gunpla get it right. Don't associate us boomer plamo (ie 1/35 scale military models) with Gundam babies. The average sub-assembly on a proper plastic model would bring the average 40k kiddy or Gundam zoomie to fucking tears. They'd both be filtered the second they had to snip and clean their first scale accurate thickness grab handle, let alone glue it on.

While I'm on this rant I just want to say if you paint over your plastic canopy congrats, you are less skilled and less dexterous than a 60 year old retiree doing masks for his 1/72 planes. Kys.

>3 damage on literally every datasheet
why are they like this
I'm seriously considering running bike jail because they have 4 wounds and won't die like all my elite infantry does

There will be a new infantry set with 11th Edition, I saw. They look like a new tactical squad, but Primaris.

10 man squad with Bolters, they have access to special weapons. I saw two painted squads, one as BA and one as UM but in Veteran colors (white helmets ect.
MK6 & Mk7 helmets, alike MK10 Equipment.

>if you paint over your plastic canopy congrats, you are less skilled and less dexterous than a 60 year old retiree doing masks for his 1/72 planes.
Obviously it's a matter of taste and what you want to paint. I like clear canopies cause you get to paint a cool little fella innaplane

>>96506283
Is this the Canadian yeah no

>>96506291
it's two answers to two questions

>prime black
>concentrate raised areas with white ink
>hit white areas with blood angels contrast from an airbrush
>tfw looks like shit

i only have myself to blame for this

>>96506330
you need to varnish white ink if you're gonna spray a WET paint like contrast over it

>>96506333
thought varnish was only necessary for oil based paints

>>96506347
ink can reactivate if you put a watery paint over top of it, it's very fragile

>>96506330
post a pic so we can try to diagnose

>>96506349
So I put ink and then varnish it if I want to put paint over it?

>>96506330
May I see it?

>>96506379
What is so funny or cringe about it that it gets reposted? I don't get it

>>96506349
sounds like too much effort, im just gonna prime white and call it a day in the future

I had a "weird dream" last night
Basically the first Warhammer 40k show by Amazon

>Was called Space Cadets
>it's about the adventures of young space marines, and such
>women were included
>but they were actually Sisters of Battle, or such
>it's about young recruits of different chapters and such
>they all train together
>one recruit was sad, since he is the last surviving member of his family, and such, mainly cause he can't continue his bloodline to due being sterile/castrated as a marine
>the Sisters can still get pregnant
>makes no fucking sense overall
>Imperial Knight was as tall than a Space Marine
That's what I can remember
But considering we are talking about Amazon and such

>>96506385
Me neither
Maybe, that the Berlin wall was made by commies (to "protect" their people from evil capitalism)

>>96506385
Just seems like an absurd thing to do honestly.
Imagine your tactical rock being part of the North Tower

>>96506390
You can't hope to improve if you just give up and move onto something else when something doesn't go right the first time

>>96506330
If you have an airbrush, why not just do zenithals like a normal person?

>>96506208
>not wanting to use the undisputed best models from the sob reboot

>>96506433
you should be zenithal'ing with white ink if you're using an airbrush anyways, it's infinitely smoother straight from the pot

>>96506390
You shouldn't move on so fast. Pic related was my first ever painted model and I think I fucked up every single color on him when I started painting. Then I desperately tried to fix it and he came out okay. Don't give up. It's always worth trying to save your model.

>>96506422
Its a huge fuckaround for me to take photos as my camera is hilariously bad & the monitor light i got is fuckin useless so I dont really bother unless its a finished model

>>96506438
That comes across as a humble brag desu, your first model is top tier in comparison to others
