What edition did you start with, and why did you start?

Made another LoTD marine because they're cool.
Post what you're working on anons.

>tq
started in 2023 because my WoW guild fell apart and i needed a new hobby

May be picking Eldar as first army was not such great idea

>>96514159
You'll look back on these one day.

>>96514159
Those look ok for first models, and eldar are relatively easy to paint with less gribblies

>>96514167
The problem is that I have no idea how possibly to improve my paintjob.

>>96514137 (OP)
Hehe, OP posted cock and balls.

What does "sections of terrain" mean? That you can move it as long as it's just a part of your base and not your whole base?

>>96514170
Thin your paints
wield your brush like a penis
and the most important bit is to wash your models like they're being baptized.

>>96514137 (OP)
Started in 4th Ed because the game still had soul and it was easier to get a game of 40K at some local shops than fantasy. Funnily enough that’s still why I play 40K minus the soul

>>96514174
it will rarely come into play since pipes and small terrain features are not WTC, same with small 1-store ruins

>>96514175
>Thin your paints
Done
>and the most important bit is to wash your models like they're being baptized.
Done

>>96514170
You'll probably want thinner highlights as your next step. So improved brush control which comes from practice, and less paint on the brush tip when highlighting.

>>96514137 (OP)
>What edition did you start with, and why did you start?
4th edition and because of Dawn of War.
Originally i had painted my stuff as ultramarines i think because there was a guide to painting them in the sm codex? and i just followed it. Then when i was looking through the rule book some more, because i really liked reading it, i saw the black templars and loved them and repainted my army. I think it was this image specifically that made newly teen me go "this is the coolest thing ever"
Because I was 13 at the time, this meant I just painted over the already poorly painted blue.
It was shortly before the Black Templar codex dropped because I remember bringing my templars to my local GW and playing them and the manager telling me that BTs were getting a codex of their own in a few weeks and I was really excited for it and bought it when it came out.
I had a landraider crusader with metal parts that refused to stay on no matter how many times i superglued them
thank you for coming to my blog and also bringing back memories

>>96514191
dawn of war came out in the middle of 4th edition? Damn that games old as fuck then

>>96514194
4th edition dropped a month before DoW my man
Also i was wrong and it was the 3rd edition rule book i was looking through when i found the templars, i had bought an older one for some reason
I saw this and had flashbacks to sitting at my desk and painting directly from the pot, no thinning

>>96514137 (OP)
>TQ
>What edition did you start with, and why did you start?
2nd ed
I was into nerd shit as a kid and my dad got me a white dwarf, I then saved up some money and got the 2nd ed box with a friend
I dropped out of the hobby near the end of 3rd (maybe early 4th? after the black crusade campaign they did) and only got back into it with 8th

Where is it GW? Where the fuck is it?!?!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Do good female Catachan jungle fighter miniatures exist for 3D printing?

>>96514205
>Do good female Catachan jungle fighter miniatures exist for 3D printing?
Any answer other than "who cares" is incorrect.

>>96514189
Thank you, but when I trying to thin them more they becomes barely visible on the model after drying up

>>96514194
The original DoW is from 2004 anon, the expansions kept it going through to 2008/2009 though

>>96514205
depends on what style you're looking for

>>96514208
That is a feature, not a bug.
You paint in a smaller area each time and the thin paint gives a much less stark contrast to the highlights.

>>96514208
Ah, I meant thinner as in the line is thinner, rather than the paint itself. More concentrated in a small line along the edge, less spilling out onto the flat panels. You can also do this by taking the flat panel colour and going over the highlight where it strays too far from the edge.

I’m glad I painted all these plague marines with bolters or ccw that literally are never used. Guess I need to rip some off for plague spewers

>>96514218
>>96514222
TY to both of you

>>96514144
women?

>>96514234
"women"

>>96514233
all good lad, show us your next models when you're done with them

>>96514140
Nice. At this rate you'll have a full combat squad in no time.

Imperial agents expansion is coming I can feel it
>TQ
8th ed. My sister got into it because of her (now ex) boyfriend and because of how much she enjoys like working with DIY and painting tiny things stuff. I knew about 40k from a distance but when I saw her painting those khornate model kits I wanted to pick some up for myself because I already enjoyed gunpla beforehand and had enough hobby tools avaiable at home. Half of my friends group was also getting into 40k so it felt like a good decision to. I don't regret it one bit to be fair, I would if I wasn't smart with my purchases.

How many of you play with "Legends" units?
I really like the HH tanks, but I don't want to play HH because it's ghey.

>>96514281
>How many of you play with "Legends" units?
I've used the bike warboss and big mek, will use the kill tank if I ever get a chance. Might pick up a plastic leviathan dread for my CSMs sometime too

I love her so much now we just need a proper female Farseer sculpt.

What units do you think are missing in your army?

>>96514305
The veil head is pretty noice

>>96514311
Something else to attach the 7 leaders that can be only attached to Plague Marines.
I don't know what, though. Plague Marines can already be run as shooty or melee. Maybe something like a dedicated tanky melee unit? PMs are kinda glass cannon-y (for DG's standards).

>>96514137 (OP)
>What edition did you start with, and why did you start?
Technically 6th edition but I followed the game, read codexes and had a few minis since 3rd.
It was just inaccessible to younger me until Herald of Ruin (remember that?)

>>96514311
The chart must be completed

>>96514137 (OP)

>>96514311
midline battle tank for orks so I have a good use for a looted predator or leman russ

>>96514305
I love the sculpt except the weird knife collar that is around her neck

>>96514140
Lit AF bro, especiall the backpack skull holding the chain. What did you use to sculpt? The yellow stuff?

>>96514331
>I want even more overpriced Space Marines characters
>I want an even more bloated codex
What's wrong with SM players?
Is it treatable?

>>96514281
I've used Leviathans before. Very pricey at 215 points but it's such a cool model it's worth it.

>>96514305
she has i can fix her energy

>>96514347
Thanks. It's Tamiya epoxy putty quick type.

>>96514281
Almost every game.
I paid for them, I painted them, I'm going to play them.

>>96514348
>>I want an even more bloated codex
Bloat is only bad if you don't have a good memory.
Also model variety is always good for flavor and allows you to make better armies.

>>96514352
only if you take the clown pill

>>96514357
Cool, can you post the other flamer astartes you did previously?

>>96514331
the champion you put in tacticus is also actually bladeguard and if the phobos medic can fill that spot then you can put the iron hand special character as the gravis techmarine, the sanguinary priest as the bladeguard apothecary, the wolf priest as spooky chaplain, a deathwing knight as terminator champion, the white scar character as captain on bike, the blood angel guy as jump pack chaplain

Genestealer cults are so weird. Why did GW think them up? They fill an almost identical role to mortal chaos cults.

>>96514362
Bloat is also bad because it eats resources that would be better spent on bloating something better, or updating something deserving.

>>96514374
I didn't do any dudes with flamers yet. Are you talking about this one? >>96504967

>>96514380
Sorry I just meant astartes, I just called them flamer astartes because they are literally on fire, thanks

>>96514379
The other shit doesn't get updated because it is worth updating.

Chaos or somthing i don't know

>>96514362
>allows you to make better armies.
That's completely the opposite.
More combinations means there will be something that slips and it's too strong.
That force the balance team to nerf the faction, often hitting other things in the crossfire.

If you played for any reasonable amount of time you will remember plenty of times were a faction only had one or two viable lists because of that.

>Bloat is only bad if you don't have a good memory.
It completely overwhelms new players and casual collectors. Look at Stormcasts in AoS. The faction was meant to be the "new popolar guys" and it was completely inaccessible. New people were unable to make a viable lists because most of them required old characters and units you couldn't find.

So in 4th edition they were force to cull a huge amount of units and characters (some only a few years old), and veterans that had all of those were extremely angry, and rightfully so.

Too much stuff is bad for everybody, the new and the veteran.

>>96514396
Kys avatarfag.

>>96514137 (OP)
>What edition did you start with
8th
>and why did you start?
Because of Dawn of War. It took this much time for me to grow up and start earning money. It's why GW started doing so well suddenly, Dawn of War players finally started buying minis.

>>96514376
Because 40k is a sci fi setting taking on a lot of modern and futuristic elements
shadows over innsmouth, alien, invasion of bodysnatchers are all fitting stuff to take inspiration from

chaos is too lame and fantasy

Anyone seeing anything obviously wrong with this list?

>>96514404
Alien has nothing to do with Genestealer Cults.

>>96514398
>More combinations means there will be something that slips and it's too strong.
That doesn't matter. What matters if aesthetics.

>>96514400
I only see idols of Chaos here.

>>96514420
That's an argument I can accept

>>96514417
Genestealer cults are a marxist dogwhistle

>>96514404
>chaos is too lame and fantasy
Why is all the external media meant to advertise the game about the clones of the children of god fighting against clones of the children of god but spiky?
What's more fantasy than demi-gods?

There is Hachette's Combat Patrol in my country so I got these for 10€ and painted them for my bro.

>>96514398
Just treat different armor types like you would treat wargear in old codexes.
>Space marine captain is equipped with tacticus armor
>Space marine captain may switch their tacticus armor with one(1) armor type from the astartes armor list
That way you only need one datasheet per type of character

>>96514457
They look really good anon!

AH THEY GOT THIS STUPID BITCH TO PAINT AETHON AND ITS 0/10 AWFUL ICANT

>>96514379
Yeah like legiones imperialis.

>>96514478
no fucking way

>>96514434
>all the external media
It really isn't. You are only thinking about Horus Heresy books, ignoring other BL stuff. In vidya only meaningful game about SM vs CSM are Space Marine games. And ironically enough CSM are fucking hated there to the point that consensus is that games go to complete shit when spiky marines show up.

>>96514478
Why is the model showcase so dark?

Biker sisters

>>96514495
I've been asking for horse rider sisters for the last 2 editions. Some Joan of arc style character to lead them too, hell, I'd even take canonness on holy steed at this point. Just give them the shield/spear from sacrosancts.

>>96514478
her paint is so fuckin dry and needs to be thinned

>>96514311
i'd like a yaegir/prospector kahl on a bike but then i know it will be shit because they likely woudn't give it the HyLas or Magna Rail

>>96514434
>Why is all the external media meant to advertise the game about the clones of the children of god fighting against clones of the children of god but spiky?
But it isn't

>>96514525
Yeah it's a really weird association. Do you think all Metal Chest Armor is inspired by exosuits that can fly in space, perchance.

>>96514516
Considering SoB are THE religion faction, and there's something very christpilled about a woman knight riding into battle on a pristine white horse, I think it's not silly at all to give the sisters a cavalry unity. It'd be nice to have a fast unit that's not just a 75 point rhino tax on top of another unit of infantry.

>>96514542
Dude!

>>96514311

nta but those legs are clearly xenomorph inspired

Late 4th, around 2005, bought my first minis: old rubrics box with metal upgrade bits, BT crusader squad, and some stormboys and a metal nob with powerklaw. Because those were the coolest miniatures ever, all of them. I started because of DoW, of course.

>>96514679

No, thats would be bikes

But the archive does prove that stuff happened in the past. What are you getting at?

>>96514712
Nothing, anon is just trying to force a meme that "remembering things is bad, actually".
I think ti may be decalfag again.

>>96514719
The past has never existed and you literally cannot prove otherwise
its always now, retard
its like saying the future exists
no it doesnt
its now

>>96514714
What's funny is this is an edit and the original was a chaosfag screeching at the marine and nid going "lets copy aliens"

sometimes i ponder if imperium narrativefags were happier if there was a dune board game where its just humans vs humans vs humans

>>96514722
Alright thanks.

Archiving proves that something happened in the past on this website. So don’t do stupid things lest someone remembers.

>>96514643
>archivefagging

>>96514417
Don't worry about the (you)s. Original Spacehulk Genestealers are the Alien equivalent in 40k but Genestealer Cults are a different thing with the Genestealers joining the Tyranids. So you're right.
>t. GSC player

>>96514712
It's reddit behavior where people check everyone's post history to try to argue with them over things they said in the past instead of the current post itself. It's harmless on 4chan but it also doesn't really prove it was the same person either because there are no accounts, especially when people search by images because lots of people download the same image from the same source.
For example, half those ritual post he found in the archive could be from people copying it or quoting it in their own posts.

>>96514729
But you cant prove those things happened, that sthe point
Everything could have just started existing 4 seconds ago and happend to have fallen int oplace like this
you need to think bigger

>TQ
>What edition did you start with, and why did you start?

The miniature game with 8th ed. because it was actually manageable. I still believe that index 8th ed. was the best edition there ever was and I'll die on that hill (I have played games of 7th).

Into 40k I got many years earlier due to the FFG RPGs.

now I have a dozen armies and I am trapped in Stockholm syndrom hell.

>>96514732
>genestealers are alien, but genestealers are a different thing from genestealers

>>96514727
Anon's image is more accurate because that is what 40k is about according to the creators.
Xenos are just a sideshow attraction and exist for target practise.

>>96514712
Nothing, unless you do it obsessively.

Do you put your models unto their bases then apply textured mud or something or paint the base first then put the mini on?

>>96514738
I felt that Stockholm syndrome part. Sometimes I wonder about leaving the warhammer woods and going /awg/ due to gw’s bullshit.

>TQ
>What edition did you start with, and why did you start?

Kinda depends on what you mean "start with"
When did I first get involved in Warhammer/miniatures? Towards the end of 3rd Ed. 40k.
When did I first start to collect Warhammer 40000? A little after becoming interested in miniatures.
When did I first play Warhammer 40000? 4th Ed.

>why did you start?

I was a massive Lord of the Rings fan and had dreams of building a bunch of LotR stuff out of Lego. I was vaguely aware of Warhammer via White Dwarf and would some times flip through it in the News Agents. Mostly just for the LotR stuff because I thought Fantasy and 40k were just edgy goth shit.
Then one issue (286 off the top of my head) had a guide for to how to build a Barrow-Down barrow for LotR that I thought was really cool, so I bought it. I always loved sci-fi, but at the time I was going through a Fantasy phase, so my first foray into Warhammers was there. For Christmas that year I got some LotR minis and pic related. Over the next year my interest in fantasy (outside of LotR) waned and I got into 40k. A year or so after 4th Ed. released, I bought the Battle for McCragge box set and taught myself how to play.

With a few exemptions, I bought every issue of White Dwarf for the next 10 and bit years. I missed one (April 2010, I think) and when I realised it was no longer available for back order, so I figured I'd pick it up on eBay or something later. Then in early 2013 my dad died and everything else got pushed to the side. By the time I'd started to put myself back together I'd missed like 5 issues. I emailed GW Australia's customer support to ask them about getting back issues. They said they no longer did back issues, but asked for my address and what issues I was missing, just in case. A week later I received a parcel from GW which contained all the missing issues, including the one from 2010.

>>96514742
The creators made 40k without chaos, for the purpose of having stormtroopers and world wars soldiers fight against alien bugs, orcs with guns, killer robots, and space pirates.

To say the point of 40k is chaos is like saying the point of modern 40k is the leagues of votann.

>>96514735
A story only exists while you are reading it, and yet it still waits in a fixed order to be observed. A failure of experience does not imply a failure of existence. Predictable patterns emerge and can be extrapolated forward and backwards through both time and space.
You are a faggot. You have been a faggot. You will be a faggot.

>>96514763

>>96514757
The enemy within is always more interesting than the obvious xenos monster. That's the secret of 40ks success.

>>96514738
This is the most faggot 10th edition list I've ever seen.

If I played you IRL and you put this shit on the field, you wouldn't have a friend any longer, You should actually fucking rethink your entire basedboy life.

>>96514752
I actually started with Bolt Action and then Chain of Command. I highly recommend /awg/

But go 15mm! I made the mistake of starting with 28mm and I deeply regret it...

>>96514763
Even the eternal now of the working memory is a mental composite of a time lapse of several moments of observation and mental predictions of expected information. You are already a creature that stretches forward and backwards through time in small struggling grasps for what is beyond your reach.
You cannot prove you have ever painted models unless you are painting them right at this moment.

>>96514751
I pin everything and do bases separately for most things. Have to make exceptions for modern models and all their shitty tactical rocks though.

>>96514769
Wraiths are cool and that list isn't even good anymore. Maybe you should just play the game and be willing to play games with your friends for fun even if you might lose and enjoy their company.

>>96514767
>The enemy within
Yeah, genestealer cults, religious schisms and tech heresy.
And it's not even more interesting, just more options, at the end of the day 40k is for wargames, not about wacking tax evaders.

The secret of 40k's success were plastic kits and bombastic artworks, not sophisticated narratives.

>>96514780
How do you deal with the uneven surface of the texture muds? Apply some on the bottom of the feet and attach?

>>96514781
MAYBE YOU SHOULD SUCK A FUCKING DICK AND STOP MAKING EXCUSES YOU FAT FAGGOT.

You are the reason nobody likes playing this hobby anymore. Fucking asshats like you that probably played "RULES AS WRITTEN" and took the double regen.

>>96514679
NTA, but, and I know this is a 'my dad works for nintendo' type post, a friend of mine who works for GW said the SoS had a bunch of sculpts that were being shown off in the studio a few years back, and were intended to follow after the Aquisitor release.
According to him, the decision to minimise resin releases and instead make mainstay kits in plastic is the reason they weren't released.
Also, Cust and SoS are a HH army, not 40k. Literally that is the team that works on them. Which is why they only get pity characters in 40k.
They can't get a big 40k release until they get a HH release, and in HH they are behind everyone else in the priority queue.

>>96514809
doesnt matter what points level it is, you don't have to play 2k. These models are pure faggotry.

It's 1545p without enhancements, thereby disqualifying it ftom 1500p games. 1750p games don't exist because that's the delusions of a madman, so obviously it's built for 2000p, which implies it's not the full list.

>>96514810
This honestly doesn't surprise me, HH 2nd edition had a lot of very interesting things for Sister of Silence that then just vanished when 3rd edition came out.

>>96514792
lol

>>96514137 (OP)
I started at the very ass end of 6th edition and got a full dose of 7th.

I accept that 7th was the pinnacle of everything that was wrong with that era of 40k rules, but it was the most fun and pissed off I’ve ever been at this game.

Something about stratagems and rerolls everywhere and gotcha type rules took the air out of the game for me.

>you can't like wraith Eldar armies because... because you can't!!
they aren't even strong

>>96514870
Somewhat related, some anons in /wip/ are saying that if you use liquitex white ink instead of water to thin corax white it covers really nicely and very smoothly.

I love this bad boy so much. I wish I had one.

>>96514876
Only for the factions I like.

>>96514881
Wouldn’t white ink instead of water work that way for any white paint?

>>96514876
I own 6 armies so almost.

>>96514855
gotchas are the worst shit.
basically deciding the outcome of a 3 hour game because you forgot one of the million rules the opponents has.

>>96514885
Yeah probably so. I don't paint white all that often so I never really bothered to check

>>96514641
I wish Edgar could/would sell the original

To think the whole Solar Auxilia range was just him trying computer modeling and it ending up so good GW bought it.

>>96514889
Shouldn’t gotchas not be a problem if you’re playing by intent

>>96514825
yeah. I am sure in a friendly game people will be like:"You aren't following tournament rules!" and refuse to play...

>>96514885
Yes, but that's what I had on hand to do it with.
I assume any white acrylic paint would work.
It's actually still very slightly off when mixed with corax white which is useful.
This was two coats of it over black spray and I no longer have to prime the shoulders and other pads i want white in a different batch

>>96514900
I agree. but then why have them in the first place? most of them are only useful if your opponents forgets about them.

Just because someone knows they exist doesn’t make them less threatening

I don't suppose the White Consuls Chapter symbol, a blue hawk head, is on any of the transfer sheets, is it?

>>96514876
Thankfully no.
I've been putting off getting a castellan and the cadian upgrade sprue for as long as they came out.
I checked out a store that might had old/oop kits (all they had was hounds of morkais lmao) and even after grabbing the two boxes and thinking to myself that the castellan was still very neat I decided to not get it since it was just GW prices.

If I'm gonna get stuff at GW prices at least let it be delivered to my house AND count towards a voucher.

I had found a -20% website but free delivery is after ~150 bucks of purchase and I'd rather not start buying stuff I don't really want just to reach their desired amount. I know why they do it, I ain't playing that game unless it benefits me.

>>96514876
Only primarchs and marines. So like 80% of their range.

Should I do this bros...

>>96514912
Doesn't seem like it.
1) use the raptors logo (same but white) and paint over it. This is the insane option.
2) Buy 3rd party transfer sheets. This is the reasonable option.
3) Find 3rd party sculpted pauldrons. This is the based option.

>>96514912
I suppose you could use the Raptors transfers and paint them over with blue

>>96514921
Depends, does it have the options you want? Isn't there 2 kits because there's like 8 turret options?

>>96514882
I'll honestly be surprised if this makes it into their codex untouched. It's like the only playable aircraft in the game right now and GW resents that fact constantly

>>96514921
yeah its a nice enough kit

Question:

I'm just getting back into 40k after more then a decade out, and I could have sworn that they use to list who sculpted what miniature on their store pages back in the day, but they don't seem to know days.

Am I right, was that something they use to do? And if so, have they stopped it, or do they actually list that information somewhere?

>>96514922
>>96514923
If I just used the Raptors logo as is, would I upset the White Consuls fan community?

>>96514936
They're your marines, haters gonna hate.
I'm notsure how you'd have a white icon on a white background.

Contrary to popular belief, you can make /yourdudes/ using existing dudes.

>>96514935
GW stopped accrediting artists for everything around 6th edition I think, and then even their painters stopped getting credits in 9th. Basically too many people developing their own following and then leaving the company to start their own competing products.

A long, long time ago.
>And if so, have they stopped it, or do they actually list that information somewhere?
They've stopped explicitly listing codex authors and miniature designers outside of some isolated instances in community articles/WD. Probably to prevent harassment after the whole Matt Ward thing.

>>96514942
ah piss, for some reason I thought the Raptors logo was black

10th ed is honestly way better than 9th ed

Not a high bar anon.

>>96514935
I remember minis having "sculpted by X" in WDs at the very least.

GW doesn't want personalities. Why? Because then GW loses power over their customers. If people like someone, and that someone leaves GW, customers can follow the person.

Duncan, for instance. Now GW competition.

>>96514961
I respectfully disagree.

>>96514961
9th wasnt very good. 10th isnt either but its better.

>>96514137 (OP)
moneyless interest since 5th mostly orbiting dark eldar and necrons with refreshes, first game in 7th or 8th with starter box csm (borrowed) and attempted to start collecting KDaemonkin but didnt get far. Now starting properly in 10th, borrowed custodes twice (didnt really like them that much) and finishing my 1k in votann but i might also try out dark eldar later with small pivot into ynnari/craftworlders. If I ever were to do marines it'd be either Covenant of Fire for loyalists and custom warband for csm, maybe IW/WB splinter that just likes to shove demons into toasters

I want more Marines and I want them faster!!!

>>96514137 (OP)
>TQ
Technically very end of 4th circa 2008, in practice 5th.
My brother did 40k and I thought the universe and kits were pretty damn neat.
My brother has a knack for making me regret doing stuff with him so I didn't play the game much.

>>96514974
Stratagems are awesome and there should be more rules that encourage interactivity between the players. Without them you can literally get up and walk away while their opponent does their turn. It actually gives you something to do and is a neat strategic decision as well as another dimension to give rules synergies to units and armies that's fun for people who actually like traditional games.

I'm kinda wondering if the Astartes animator will show Space Marines dying to anything. He was very good at showing how they matched up against Chaos Cultists with nothing but stubbers but obviously this isn't going to translate to the same success against any other enemy which actually has weapons that can hurt them.

>>96514992
He has already shown a lamenter out of ammo getting killed by orks.

I hate stratagems, this isn't a board/card game.

Also why are they called stratagems when they're very much not. They're a special ability/power.
Do people even know whatthe word stratagem means or do they think "it has strategy in it so it makes sense"?

Then what are the shots for?
Don't tell that GW is gonna try bait and switch the shit and all the cool animations are just bait to get people to watch their shitty mediocre series?

>>96515001
That guy actually survives.

I got the Dawn of War box coming in today but still haven't decided as to which chapter I should be painting them as. I don't even play Space Marines but if I ever do down the line I'd like to continue from this lads onward so the chapter selection is kinda important besides the hobbying part. I was leaning towards Flesh Tearers and Dark Krakens for they have cool color schemes.

>>96515036
>Then what are the shots for?
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/8ovvyar9/astartes-ii-teaser-trailer-watch-it-right-now/
This teaser trailer is not actually clips from the new animation, instead showing a compilation of shots that represent the former lives of the characters that will appear in the show. There’s a pretty unsubtle hint at the end as to the nature of the final story... We’ll leave you to speculate and start putting the pieces together yourselves.

>>96515016
>I hate stratagems, this isn't a board/card game.
board games dont have interactivity on your opponents turn, like chess or checkers. War games are more complex and can feature more rules.

>>96515052
10th edition isnt a wargame though

>>96515036
as anon says >>96515049

I'd even go as far as say they made the trailer by repurposing shots Mr Pederson and his crew made and changing the texture of the marines into different chapters.

So for all we know when that teaser dropped there wasn't more than the terminator model done, assuming it was made for Astartes 2.

And it could look nothing like Astartes 1.
I really, really hope I'm wrong.

>>96515057

>>96515001
That wasn't the case. It was changed to be a Mortifactor, and then confirmed that the clip is a actually a flashback for one of the Deathwatch characters the series will focus on. He survived that, got back up, and killed the Orks attacking him.

>>96515052
>board games dont have interactivity on your opponents turn
That is entirely dependent on the game itself anon.
Card games have it, even UNO has it.

>war games are more complex
That is, again, entirely dependent on the game.
Thinking there aren't card games with more complexity than 40k, which isn't much of a complex game to begin with mind you, is downright ignorant.

I'm glad you like it, really happy for you, but you might want to expand your horizons of what other games are and can be.

Got more pewter in the mail. Such beauty, such grace.

give me them sloppy new detachment GW, do it, throw them my way so i can think that it's cool and then someone points out how shit and antithetical they are to core rule of the faction or that trying to buff up a shitty unused unit is not enough to make it work
also increase points on hekatomb again

>>96515126
Yu gi oh IS a board game though, because it has rules that change what cards do based on where on the board they are placed. It has spacial relationships.

>>96515126
>uno doesn't have cards that let you go on your opponents turn
I didn't say it had a card that do that (but you could home rule it). Counter-uno is very much going on someone else's turn.

Stratagems ARE cards, my boy.

Wait. I lost the plot. Are the people who love Space Marines NPCs or are the non-space marine factions the NPCs of the setting?

>>96515182
It's long been established that everyone who isn't Marines (Loyalist or Chaos) is just an NPC faction for Marines to interact with.

>>96515182

So do I anon, it's such a comfy hobby.

>>96515074
Me too.
I played two games of 9th, none of tenth and just pain minis for fun now while keeping up with the fluff by reading scans of codexes

>>96515223
The thing is, the Imperial Guard isn't actually that numerous. The PDF picks from amongst the top 1% of the planetary population typically in terms of physical condition, and then the Imperial Guard picks from the top 1% of those. So by the time you actually get to the Imperial Guard, you're actually dealing with the top .01% of the Imperium's manpower.

But this isn't nearly enough to actually take care of the Imperium's manpower needs, which is why even the Imperium is dealing with manpower shortages. The Imperial Guard might be the worst of the basic grunts outside of Chaos Cultists and maybe Orks, but they're still drawn from a rather restrictive pool.

>>96514992
>>96515001
Astartes is pure marine wank and its okay since

>The marines were blue
>muh lore accurate marines!!!!

Marine wank is only hated if its boring book but if you show the masses an animation of it they get crazy

>>96515203
Imperial guard are what you want them to be.
Most if not all regiments are inspired by armies or specific warrior/soldier individuals.

If you want a regiment that's smart leaders and stupid soldiers, you can.
If you want stupid leaders and smart soldiers, you can. You can even have smart both or stupid both.

Gross simplification
Cadians are WW2 (European fronts)
Krieg is WW1
Catachans are Rambo/Vietnam
Tallarn are SAS (WW2)/Bedouins
Praetorian Guard are British Colonial Troops, specifically that one movie.
Valhallans are WW2 soviets
Attilan Rough Riders are Huns
etc.

None of these are per say "lions led by donkeys" but you can make it so.
40k, especially the IG takes inspiration from military history, and a lot of military history is indeed littered with situations of great terrible sacrifice made by people only interested in their nepotism induced careers.

>>96515262
The marines werent blue*

Seriously, marinewank is only bad if its the ultras every other chapter is fairgame especially IF its a fandom approved chapter

>>96515262
Astartes marines were fluff accurate though?

>>96515276
Pre Astartes GW werent afraid to show marines dying and dying like bitches

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBgXH7eyRo4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTjyO_FncE4

Post Astartes?

You CANT have marines die anymore you need to show them utterly STOMPING everything in small teams of 3 or 4. Astartes has basically fucked the animation side of things for years

>>96515045
Blood Ravens

>>96515262
Real talk but how was astartes marine wank?
They fought 3 things:

Guardsmen with autogun which are established very early to be a non-threat, the most dangerous they got was that twin multi-laser, the marine didn't even dive or duck, he got peppered and went behind the corner, which for all we know was just to get cover for his own blind/photon grenade.

Those two psykers, who were really close to getting the best of the marines. The psykers themselves created the opening that got them killed.

Then the warp-creature thing that ended up taking them all to their original dimensions (if I remember what the creator said).

The creature got killed by some other warp creature as it tried to jump to safety.

How is that wank? They didn't even fucking win.

>>96515285
The wank in the Astartes animation is okay because they're fighting cultists with nothing but stubbers. 99.9% of the enemies they fight in those animations are literally incapable of killing them because they have absolutely nothing capable of getting through their armor.

However, if they start showing the other factions, such as the Tau, whose Pulse Rifles are stronger than bolters, and they're STILL not dying at all to the enemy...then yeah, that will be pretty dumb.

>>96515259
The problem with that is even the top .01% of Humans, even if given a proper loadout, is not going to be able to compete well with even basic xenos troops.
Ork Boyz?
They're tough enough to headbutt Marines just for a laugh, and can casually rip a Guardsman in half with their bare hands.
Eldar Guardians?
They move faster than Marines, shoot as well as Marines even while on the move, and tote around razor guns which have a significant chanve of taking down a Marine in one quick volley.
Nid Gaunts?
For every Guardsman there's three Gaunts of every flavor, and they can repopulate MUCH faster.
Necron Warriors?
Capable of shrugging off small to medium arms fire, has a weapon that will eviscerate a human in one shot, and has a nasty habit of not staying down once shot.
Fire Warriors?
Closest you get to Guard, and they have a way better loadout to work with
Guard aren't there to win battles against xenos, they're there to buy time and fill in gaps for the rest of the Imperium.

>>96515296
The auto cannon ambush and the multi laser ambush should have melted at least one marine

>>96515233
woof

>>96515285
Did you miss the 10th edition animation?
The blood angels animation on wh+?
They have not toned down marine death, you just have not actually watched any animations

>>96515285
and here I thought I didnt have allies when I complained Astartes was bolter porn but its okay since it was a cartoon

>>96515285
Ignorant dumbass.

>>96515296
It's just people obsessed with marines. They got into the hobby where Marines are the generic plastic mover and hate them for some reason.

>>96515304
Bad rolls

>>96515304
But it didn't, not because the marines were that good, but because those guardsmen sucked. I call them guardsmen but they might not even be that, they might be worse than basic guardsmen.

The guys style is overrared anyway you can tell the minute he directs a trailer. Wannabe Hollywood as long shots and specific angles

>>96515329
better than you

>>96515329
Nothing was clipping in each other, the textures were crisp, the proportions weren't weird and the movement was smooth. I'd say it was worth the praise.

>>96515329
ESL-kun...

>>96515304
The autocanon hit the pauldron, the part deliberately designed to redirect hits. And marines didn't stand and tank them - the ones under fire continued moving out of the range of the gun, the others stopped before entering it.
And multilaser is a fucking anti-infantry gun anon, it's not gonna "melt" ceramite armor. Do you not know why ceramite is used for armor in the first place? And the marine tried to take out the gunners, noticed they have armor, took cover and used a chaff grenade to prevent them from hitting him again.
These are the absolute worst examples to take issue with.

>cartoon tourists jumping at me

LOL

If you defend astartes you defend the death of the fandom

>>96515303
>Eldar Guardians?
>They move faster than Marines, shoot as well as Marines even while on the move, and tote around razor guns which have a significant chanve of taking down a Marine in one quick volley.
there's a story (written by Elfdari master Gav Thorpe) where the eldar attack a fortified imperial world (I dont remember why) but they attack a fortress manned by Valhallans (I believe) and the eldar lose hundreds in the attack (there's a funeral scene afterwards). The Eldar were not doing anime backflips through platoons of guardsmen moving faster than the eye to see

Kinda meme understanding going on here because guard have been known to take on xenos all the time without marines showing up. but since the focus on this game is on marines they HAVE to show up 99% of the time.

>>96515348
naw thats you and your refusal to buy GW, to subscribe to WarhammerTV and you annoying everyone with your shitty 3D prints

This magical dipshit is my first real attempt at a kitbash where I had to do more than just cut straight down a wrist to swap a hand, and it's turning out a bit better than I expected. He doesn't have the wide bulk of a typical chaos marine, which I think helps him stand out as a sorcerer, and I was concerned the helmet would look oversized but it seems ok. The little bits of Tamiya putty I'm using seem to want to stick to my tools a lot more than my model even if I dip them in water first, which is annoying. The boltgun wrist is really ugly right now but I'm going to let it cure/dry and then hit it with my files to blend it down.

>>96515350
When you have Space Marines showing up in large numbers for even minor crusades against tiny xenos factions I think it's fair to say that the Imperial Guard is largely just to hold the enemy in place long enough for the Space Marines to arrive. Sure sometimes they win on their own but very frequently they need help even for small actions.

>>96515259
>then the Imperial Guard picks from the top 1% of those.
That's not how it works, the Guard doesn't pick. Each planet raises their own regiments. And for a lot of those planets, the main thing is hitting the required number of bodies.

>>96515350
Gav legitimately hates Eldar and massively undersells them to promote his concept of a 'tragic' dying race.
There's another story where a Guardian fires a D-Cannon platform at a Chaos Rhino and it does no damage on a direct hit, even though D-Cannons can and will rip apart a Rhino several times over.
Anything combat related written by Thorpe should be completely ignored.

>>96515391
Exactly.

These all sucked, except astartes.
The only reason why the others are brought up ever is to dunk on them.
Astartes was a good fan animation that was then purchased, there was no meddling. The rest were shitty commercials.

I'll take Thrope's tragic elfdar my guns don't work against Chaos Rhinos over your "he's fast" elfdar guardian moving faster than Adeptus Custodians and getting up behind one and going 'nothing personal, mon'keigh'

>>96515401
yeah he made stinkers like the CSM 4.0 codex and dark elves 6th edition believe you me he was stinking up the joint even back and I'm not just talking about his BL books

>>96515395
Which is one of the good things about it. I'm sick of hero/character shit. I'm sick of social preachy bullshit too.

There is only war and mystery, no shitty commentary about the most easy to solve issues in one's life.

>>96515393
Oh yeah??? Then I'll mention Ultramarines for the Nth time.

>>96515401
He doesn't. He left GW yea4s ago, most of his later books were done freelance and he only gets brought on because he works for cheap. Nobody likes his books, when it was announced he was doing the first Votann book people (rightfully) lost all hype for it.
>>96515404
Nobody mentioned Custodes, retard.

>>96515401
>an eras

Why are so many of the shitposters ESL?

>>96515412
Lord inquisitor was like the first scam and it failed spectacularly only Astartes was a true fan work everything else after were people trying to jump on a bandwagon

>>96515416
>Nobody mentioned Custodes
inconsequential. your idea of eldari guardians is still stupid and you should see the doctor for the terminal case of cringe you are suffering from for even mentioning it in this thread.

>>96515423
Amen.

Th only thing Lord Inquisitor did that stuck to this day is a 5 second clip of marines and dreads marching.

>>96515421
Pajeets and polacks, pls understand

>>96515432
Anon Guardians LITERALLY move faster than Marines. Like statistically.

>>96514344
How did previous editions balance around the crappy BS?

>>96515442
anon I move faster than your obese ass, that doesn't mean I employ the body flicker technique to get behind you.

>>96515450
Nobody fucking said anything about body flicker or teleporting you rucking retard, the statement was literally just
>They move faster than Marines

>>96515445
in 8th you had what is now sustained hits on shooting which made things like rokkits pretty fun

>>96515442
Nope they don't

>>96515445
There weren't penalties to hit and crap BS usually had volume

>>96515459
Anon, what are the Move characteristics of an Eldar Guardian Defender and a Space Marine Intercessor?

>>96515464
Gameplay mechanic, which changes from edition to edition.
We have plenty of official canon of Eldar fighting Space Marines and they never move faster than Space Marines

>>96515404
Nah, Custardwank is far more obnoxious than Eldarwank.

>>96514175
> wash your models
No. This is the opposite of good advice to give someone who wants to improve at painting.

>>96515259
It also doesn't help that there's only two and a half planets producing guard regiments in the entire galaxy

>>96515049
>>96515067
So it might be some Deathwatch shit?
But what I'm seeing is that this shit might really be getting bait-n-switched and fucking hard at that.

>>96515489
Well, the good ones at least. Most of the named Guard units are there for being a cut above the rest...and most of those actually kinda suck.

>>96515259
>The thing is, the Imperial Guard isn't actually that numerous. The PDF picks from amongst the top 1% of the planetary population typically in terms of physical condition, and then the Imperial Guard picks from the top 1% of those.
pure fanfiction

>>96515490
Yep. Also, I suspect the astartes guy is barely involved with it. He is no longer directly employed by GW, founded his own studio and is working on two different indie projects right now. May still do contract work for GW but they will never publicly admit to him not being in charge of Astartes 2.

>>96515348
okay die then

>>96515495
There's only named guard regiments, anon.

>>96515490
>it might be DW?
I'd say so. There was a DW terminator at the end of the teaser and the characters are marines from different chapters, pretty DW to me.

>bait & switch
It's a GW show, if it's good it'd be the exception not the rule, I am not hyped for it. It will drop, maybe, one day and then I'll see if it's worth anything.

Anything good that comes from it will be thanks to the original guy, anything bad will be because of GW meddling.

In black library books maybe.

>>96514281
Only compfags hate legends units

>>96515460
I've been of the opinion for a while that Orks need to double the number of ranged attacks. I also heard a suggestion that Orks should get an additional army rule that they ignore all modifiers to their hit roll when shooting

>>96514281
I want one of these for my CSM but knowing the assholes over at GW I imagine this won't even get a legends datasheet in 11th

>>96515511
how the fuck do you not get tired of posting the same stale bait every day, this is actually mental illness

>>96514305
I can only imagine this sculpt is a complete fucking accident and not a sign of change.
Not even the awful eavy metal face painting managed to make her look like a crackhead, so actually talented painters will surely make her look really pretty.

>>96515542
Do disagree with him?

>>96515476
Agreed. Custodes are so fucking lame.

>>96515542
How do you not get tired of being an Eldar fan? It's probably the most miserable thing a 40k fan can be.

>>96515526

kek, I am not going to discuss anything with your shitposting ass, retard

>>96515542
this general is the only reason /tg/ is alive

>>96515552
Eldar would be more popular if GW leaned into Human/Eldar romance, obviously.

>>96515556
This general is the reason /tg/ exists too.

>>96515555
I accept your concession

>>96515554
It's still bs5 and I'm not fat

>>96515559
>>96515556
which is kinda funny because it's an absolute fucking shithole

>>96515557
Eldar of all types would be popular if they made the minis cool and attractive.

>>96515563
Maybe if you leave we can start to heal

>>96514204
New Sigmar show is all you get anon

>>96515563
40k is popular and this is the general thread, that's where the trolls are gonna be.

>>96515564
Be realistic, anon.
If Yvraine could be allied into Ultramarines with a few Ynnari units, the Ynnari would have been SIGNIFICANTLY more popular.

>>96515557
I agree with this too, ignore the asexual and embrace concoomerism

Normalize custodes hate

>>96515580
We're discussing Eldar hate atm, please wait your turn patiently.

>>96515582
You're just talking to yourself, that's not a discussion

>>96515580
Everyone hates the bananas. For their lore (even before the retcon) and for how shit they are to play against.
No need to promote it

>>96515580
I'm pretty sure Custodes are already hated by the fandom
>Hated by rightwingers for having women
>Hated by Xenosfags for their strength
>Hated by Marinefags because daddy's favorite
>Hated by GW employees because easy to paint build and buy

um hello? GW?! I HAVEN'T BEEN PANDERED TO FOR 5 MINUTES! I DON'T FEEL LIKE THE MAIN CHARACTER ANYMORE!! Do something

>>96515576
I don't want things to be popular, most people like garbage.

>>96515580
It's always been normal. You either hate them because they're golden fucking super marines, or you like them because you play them.

>>96515580
I don't feel like doing it. I'm fine with them as they are.

>>96515597
I truly dread there are people that legitimately feel and think like this.

>>96515614
You don't think people should expect a billion dollar company to cater to the player base that made them so rich?

>>96515600
>I don't want things to be popular
But you didn't say that was incorrect.
If you want more Eldar content than they need to be popular, anon, and the best way to do that is to buck up and accept the facts. Everyone already expects Yvraine to be with Guilliman. Making it canon would just boost Eldar up.

Is it possible to play Imperial Agents and it not be dogshit? I kind of like the idea of a Rogue Trader and his retinue as an army warlord

>>96515630
No

>>96515557
Lol no
They literally turned Eldar into Marines Wives: the army yet none buys them still

>>96515636
That was only for a holiday art piece. GW needs to go further with it; make Ynnari allied with Marines and let them be run together on tabletop.

>>96515580
I feel like harlequins aren’t hated enough
Like name a single instance of harlequins losing badly

>>96515636
They would make such a cute couple, they should have them make like 10 babies to promote fertility because of the birthing crisis in the west.

>>96515621
Yeah I see and appreciate the effort but as long as schizophrenic trolls run rampant the chances of this place getting better are slim unfortunately

>>96515629
>Making it canon would just boost Eldar up.
It wouldn't? I mean Ynnari triumvirate was never a popular box and it's not like dark times of Taudars made them any popular.

>>96515580
They're pretty fun to kill, you grenade for 4 mortal wounds and BAM 90pts gone just like that.

>>96515629
I don't want more eldar content, I want more good eldar content.

>>96515646
You do realise than birthing crisis is natural fallout of Industrial revolution and no amount of shilling will make family live in urban cities cheaper?

>>96515649
>and it's not like dark times of Taudars made them any popular
That's because Tau are unpopular. Put Eldar with Marines and you'll see Eldar interest skyrocket overnight.

>>96515662
So should we just give up and disappear?

>>96514331
Still waiting for more bike HQs.

>>96515674
You're already doing that, anon.

>>96515674
Well it's not like you are rejecting urbanite lifestyle anytime soon, so it's not such sad outcome after all.
On the other hand, you can always try to adapt.

>>96515672
>That's because Tau are unpopular.
They are more popular than Eldar.

>>96515672
>Put Eldar with Marines
And none would give a flying fuck, except of WAACfag if detachment is OP.
People pick marines over eldar for aesthetic or lore reasons. The very same reasons why they pick marines over other sidekicks like AM, SoB, Guard or Knights.

>>96514311
>sisters
Bikes.

>>96515689
But not popular enough to be promotional. Again; you put Eldar with Marines, and there's going to be more Marine players who work them in than there are current Eldar players. Then you'd get new Eldar stories where they don't suck, more production for Eldar models for more availability, and more media content where Eldar can shine.
>>96515699
Would still give Eldar a better spotlight and more sales than they have now.

>>96515674
>says he while wasting money on plastic crack instead of investing into family

>>96515708
>But not popular enough to be promotional.
I would require your metric and methodology of calculations.

>>96515710
I want others to save the west for me, is that too much to ask?

>>96515715
Anon, which faction is in 90% of 40k promotional material?

>>96515649
>I mean Ynnari triumvirate was never a popular box
Because GW completely fucked up Ynnari in everyway possible.

>>96515708
>Then you'd get new Eldar stories where they don't suck,
Like rise of ynnari series?
>more availability, and more media content where Eldar can shine.

I want my shitposts to be authentic, not a by-product of long term life altering medical conditions.

>>96514175
>wield your brush like a penis
you either grab your brush with two hands or give the worst handjobs ever.

>>96515723
Rise of the Ynnari was a product of trying to have Eldar stand on their own. It failed because GW opted to not lean in to the Guilliman/Yvraine dynamic and instead tried to make Yvraine a standalone character.
Nobody cares about 'standalone' elf women. Their inherent value is in how they interact with humans.

>>96515738
>But they still did Ynnari exactly as anon suggested, they made into Imperial Eldar.
They didn't, Ynnari couldn't be allied into Marines and they tried to make the Ynnari separate. Their failure was in trying to make the Ynnari independent.

GW should have made a men of iron faction

>>96515746
>Rise of the Ynnari was a product of trying to have Eldar stand on their own.
But it wasn't Eldar standing on their own. It was a book series of Imperial Eldar. Still didn't earn sympathies and sales of Imperiumfans

>>96515674
Do you have other plans to fix it?
Because the reason why nobody is having babies in developed countries is because cost of living is so retardedly high and the current economy is completely fucked that nobody wants to have kids.
If you can barely support yourself as is, how the fuck are you supposed to care for a child? Especially if both you and you wife need to work 8 hours a day, so you just leave the kid alone home?
And this is assuming you don't have 2nd jobs to work, because yes the economy is currently is so fucked that is starting to become common.

he did not in fact have iron hands.

If I ever make IHs they'll replace their limbs after they are damaged, the flesh is weak but the spirit is willing, each bionic parts a testament to sacrifice the marines make.

A bit like the HH deathwing companions who paint the parts of their armor bone where they tanked a hit, except here the part must have been destroyed to be replaced.

My favorite early chapter naming bit is how the Dark Angels are named after a poem by a repentant homosexual about how his gayness is an evil angel he must overcome in order to find salvation and the entire chapter follows that bit thematically to this day, except with more collective guilt.

>>96516060
That and the fact that they are incredibly weird and creepy. I had a kid I grew up with who would hang lizards by a thread under his families grill. I imagine he would have grown up to play GSC.

When I played Middlehammer as a kid, everyone would leave their destroyed tanks and vehicles on the table and put thematic smoke and fire effects on them.

How come you never see this anymore? There is zero thematic elements in modern 40k, people just remove the tank from the table once it's healthy bar has run out, it just "disappears" from the battlefield.

What gives?

I honestly dont get their appeal. They honestly work better as a necromunda gang than a whole 40k army. I legit hope they eventually get squatted to free up production space.

>>96516078
free up production for marines or another xenos army? there is only one correct answer

>>96514137 (OP)
>What edition did you start with, and why did you start?
I started around 4e I reckon because my friends were into it and I found it cool. Of course as a broke teenager it was very difficult and that's why we interacted with the hobby mainly through talking about it and thinking about how we'd play rather than actually playing since none had enough for an actual army.
Then I stopped paying attention around 6th and came back towards the tail end of 8e. I saw DG had become an army and by 9E I jumped back into it with the same friends, we now actually have money for armies and play 1 or 2 games a month.

>>96516074
These "people" can't even paint their terrain or even attempt to make a realistic looking table. Do you really expect them to even think about minor details like smoke markers?

I swear anticomp fags are the worst

It's coincidentally fitting for the Space Mongols actually.

https://juddsinmongolia.com/2024/06/06/color-symbolism-in-mongolia/

>The “best” color is white and it is used to symbolize goodness, holiness, and positivity.
>This is why milk tea and other “white foods” (i.e. dairy products) are seen as especially good.
>Red represents fire, strength, bravery, and love.

>>96516074

I am tired of tactical rocks/rubble/stairs/whatever

Everything Gav says here is great. If you don’t like this perspective on the Eldar you’re retarded.

>>96516263
I only played it during 9e. it feels like a weird in-between of combat patrol and kill team but claustrophobic and poorly designed. I doubt its improved since then.

>>96516214
it's the best mode in mainline 40k right now

there is writing a doomed dying race too far up their ass they won't admit a fuck up
but there is also aspect warriors dying to random collateral shrapnel that's not even a special material

>>96516290
Gav's 100% right. Eldarfags think they should be the super special good guys of the setting with each Eldar soloing at least five Marines. They need constant knocking down to try and get the point across that Eldar are just another race of aliens the Imperium has to deal with.

logistics wise it doesnt make sense. guardsmen outnumber marines quite literally a million to one.
>but muh combat width
space marines by definition can’t even make up a singular division in any singular point in the galaxy.

>>96516321
I’d listen to the guy who says its good if he explains why. I’m a bitter cunt I don’t have many nice things to say about this game anymore.

Is this how Dark Eldar came into existence?

Proper planets with some martial tradition will proudly pick their best like Vostroya or Mordia. Shitholus IV will pick the bare minimum to not piss the Munitorum. Straight McNamara 100,000 if they can get away with it.

People make fun of it but it's perhaps the naming convention that makes the most sense. Compare to the Raven Guard who somehow earned their name before meeting their primarch, who just happened to have been given the name Corvus by the locals of his world, which also just so happened to match perfectly with the title Corax he was given later in life to create the reading of Corvus Corax, the Latin name for common ravens, which was in turn a perfect match for the Raven Guard legion named for its raven black armor.

A lot of people fall into that stuff thinking it will "fix" them.

I think I finally understand the people who say that there are more than 2 genders, because there's males, females and then there's uglies, these are uglies regardless of other characteristics, have their own set of behaviours, and their own misbegotten niches in society separate from the other genders.

the internet kind of sucks
back when it wasn't as prolific, if you were a guy that wanted to fuck enormous horse dildos you either did that in private or were ostracized for being a horse fucker
now the horsefucker can go online, and find entire communities of horsefuckers
horsefucking is by no means popular, but now he has a group reaffirming his decision to fuck horses and so he feels like he can be open about it

>>96516398
The common point is they are lost people looking for an identity.
They want to belong, they aren't ready or willing to be their own person.

TL;DR: it's an identity issue.

Yes, as time progresses and things chang, they eventually become different in all but name. Do you think all things called the same thing are the same thing?
