>thread question:
Have you ever played with any homebrew rules? If not, how come? If yes, how did it go?

I exclusively play homebrew scenarios. Imagine unironically playing the dogshit official layouts and vidya tier missions lmao

>>96537640 (OP)
How do I access the pre 10th Torrent? Help im retarded

>>96537662
I completely forgot about the pig cart...

Another Ultramarine model or marine paypigs will be able to afford rent this month

He's gonna be a techpriest engiseer for my garbage world imperial guard.

such as?

>>96537697
Cutter priests is a cool name

>>96537688
Many people say "Exodites would be so cool! Dinosaurs!"

They have no idea of the shitfest they are inviting.

a quick reminder

>>96537706
thanks. I like to imagine his chain glaive is as much for cutting useful technology away from scrap metal as it is for protection

>>96537640 (OP)
TQ
Nope I want to though.
Hopefully I’ll be permitted to play my homebrew if I let my opponent play his.

>>96537697
Good stuff anon!
The conversion looks promising.

>>96537722
what is it that you want to play? like a homebrew datasheet or something?

>>96537711
A reminder:
>>96537487
>says nothing about their size

>>96537730
Homebrew infantry. I’ve got third party space axe units and want to play feudal melee shock troopers with The same stats as sisters of battle crusaders. With a preacher with chain sword to give them an extra attack.

>>96537729
appreciate it anon. I went through so many bits trying to find what worked for the idea in my head think there are parts from like 5 different models on there now.

>>96537740
Sounds fluffy anon. I hope you get to do that

>>96537669
check the trove

>>96537732
>give me attention!!!
keep your shitposting in the dead thread faggot

>>96537764
It’s all in the paintjob now that will make or break it.
Do you have the skrag brown paint? Or really any orange brown paint when watered down to a milk/wash consistency can look like some nice 28mm scale rust but not quite too rusty.
The technique is done in this video of not!orks https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dvlvzXaEmso
Sorry that I’m on mobile. YouTube is laggy for me so I’m not quite able to find where he exactly does the technique.
But I think it is worth checking out.

My Eldar Combat Patrol arrives tomorrow and I still haven't settled on a Craftworld. I want to do one of the big five so I can use the transfers. They all have cool lore to recommend them. I've never played 40k before so I don't have a preferred playstyle or anything. And honestly the thing that made me pull the trigger is I believe the Exodite rumors so I wat to already own and be experienced with Eldar by the time those guys drop so I'll be able to immediately start integrating them with my army instead of starting from scratch.

Eldar enthusiasts, help me!

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiloZsV815g
Oh damn, I'm a year late but I didn't even realize they made a Kill Team trailer with the Tau in it.

>>96537771
Thanks! It’s basically a guard army that has inherited “degenerated” solar auxilia aspects hence the axe units. The bits will be from madrobot and anvilindustry I just need to finish my previous generation cadians first.

>>96537803
thanks I'll check it out anon. this is the "lord solar" for the army and I think I got the rusty metal down pretty good but I'll 100% see what I can take from that too.

>>96537813
I was not expecting this. I love what you I’ve got and I need to know what you’ve done for the rust effect on that model.
Sorry I didn’t know you had good experience to painting your theme of models.

>>96537813
Ha! I remember the crayola launcher. Good stuff anon.

>>96537816
>you I’ve
Autocorrect got me again

>>96537804
You don’t belong here, you don’t belong anywhere

>>96537810
It was also inspired by the rosenritter from logh in how they are space soldiers with axes.
Has it ever been confirmed that the solar auxilia axe units took inspiration from the Rosen Ritter?

>>96537804
I was gonna reply earnestly but something about the art and the >Eldar enthusiasts, help me! made me realize this was some pathetic attempt to troll.

So here's your (You) with a friendly reminder to kys.

So are the Death Korp the Imperium's best soldiers? They seem to win all of their matchups.

>>96537855
Thought it was the cadians. But I can see the kriegers being wanked off to make them more appealing to get more sales.

>>96537816
well lets see the process was:
>prime model with leadbelcher
>took a large flat brush and did a lot of downwards strokes using Pro-Acryl Light Umber (only slightly thinned)
>repeat the same with Pro-Acryl Transparent Orange but targeted the parts I wanted to be the most worn down (followed real metal reference photos where I could)
>in places where I wanted actual texture I applied splotches of typhus corrosion 50/50 with tap water mixed very well (I pour half a pot into an empty GW pot and fill both the rest with water and use a nail polish vibrating mixer to get it really blended)
>apply various shades of browns/blacks where it felt right
>touched up some edges with a drybrush of leadbelcher
>added tiny specs of white using the corner of a makeup sponge wedge
and I think that was about it for the bare metal? similar steps used on this test tank

>>96537855
No, custodes are the imperium's best soldiers.

>>96537640 (OP)
>thread question:
>Have you ever played with any homebrew rules? If not, how come? If yes, how did it go?
pretty casual but we've done some stuff for 3 player battles

i hate resin models so much
finecast is an entire new level of shit
i thought people complaining about finecast were exaggerating but they're even worse than i expected
i don't think i'd get finecrap models even if they were free

>>96537874
Thank you so much anon!

>>96537640 (OP)
>TQ
The Horde Mode rules were pretty damn fun

>>96537879
>dies to clowns
>dies to black templars
>dies to Angron spamming WOLOLO at a crisade fleet
>failed to protect the emperor
I think custodes are the only faction with a worse track record than space marines, and half those bitches fell to chaos

>>96537855
>>96537864
Catachans blow em both out of the water. I'd probably give Vostroyans an edge too

>>96537912
Back in eighth I played horde mode.
Guard vs black legion on a d-day like map. It was fun.

>>96537885
How did you handle command points / detachments and stratagems?

>>96537732
Don't drag gay bait from one thread to the next

Please do the needful and redeem your models, sirs!

>>96537935
>catachans
Wga sells spacenam and they should be including heavy weapons too.
>vostroyans
Try the wga grognards. Their heavy weapons will require papers because they don’t look like standard 40k guard heavy weapons but you should be fine.

Need to stop painting while baked, couldn't get the gun lines down properly.

Will try to fix that, add icon, add like blue squid ink drawings on the cloth, add sand, and probably put some Nuln oil on some parts like the robo upper right arm.

Why can’t imperial knights fly

>>96537804
Would. I’d make sure the ear would be bleeding too.

>>96537804
Would smooch her little wiener

something i like and have always liked about CSM is there is shit loads of kitbashing potential
like you can have a full CSM army and make it so every single marine in the army looks different

>>96537962
Man that modelchad really loves rent free in your head

>>96537967
Why can't killa kans have baggy pants and cool sneakers

>>96537946
command points we just got two each at the start of each battle round
we did roll off at the start of each battle round to see who would go next, I'm not a fan of potential double turns in a 1vs1 but having the 3rd player to watch out for both made it less likely, and more risky to overcommit so it worked better there

>>96537993
What's stopping you?

>>96537910
no worries. I'm not entirely done figuring out the process so I appreciate the link earlier, might try that out for smaller stuff as I think that might work better.

>>96537997
I don't have any killa kans, baggy pants or cool sneakers

>>96537978
Why would you as a man smooch another mans wiener?

>>96537987
>couldn't even brush off the dust and cat hair

>>96538003
Fair enough, I can see how that would be a problem.

>>96538007
At least he can wipe them off unlike your no models having brownoid ass LOL

How would you deal with my army peeps?

>>96538020
Call the local authorities

>>96538005
Because it's cute and needs smooches

>>96538019
>implying that isn't you
You're spiraling. Spazzing and spiraling.

>>96538041
I'm a different modelposter, I just love seeing /v/ermin melt down about their superiors

>>96538020
Man those make me want to take the plunge on SW

>>96538020
I would spray you army with a super soaker full of acetone and spray your eyes with a super soaker full of acetone

>>96538020
Do you use ai to photoshop all the flies out of your pics

>>96538031
>>96538074
Thank you for the thoughts from the mentally ill section of /tg/

>>96537804
Biel Tan are especially focused on defending Exodites. A hypothetical mixed army would make a lot of sense.
Would, but only if he stopped with the stupid pouty lips.

>>96538084
You're naive to assume there are any other sections

>>96538020
Honestly looking at this photo I do not understand why one factions has received such a ridiculous amount of named characters over certain others. It feels like they could create an entire mainstream series from the Space Wolves.

>>96537984
i recently started painting night lords and i was just going to create the army as just a standard CSM army that are done up like night lords , the excuse for night lords using things like possessed and oblits being "well those things are scary so they will make use of them"

>>96538147
Kinda flat imo

>>96538145
>I do not understand why one factions has received such a ridiculous amount
The space marines of space marines.

>>96537804
Built for thicc Sisters of Battle

>>96538147
The base is fantastic

>>96538147
>the excuse for night lords using things like possessed and oblits being "well those things are scary so they will make use of them"
thats fine, but you dont even need that excuse
just because the traitor legions have their specialties it doesnt mean they dont use the other stuff

>>96538205
sometimes it does
*sad cult legion noises*

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

Craftworld Eldar MORE LIKE FARTWORLD SMELLDAR LMBO

>>96538244
what does it feel like?

>Eldar are supposed to be the rival to Necrons
>But Marines v Necrons is so much cooler
Weird

>>96538330
Hey that's the Black Lion of Ultramar!

Tanks will be the big new Ork model in the 11th edition starter set

>>96537855
Their iconic campaign was them taking like 20 years to capture one fort on one planet, and in the end the planet became quarantined from Daemon contamination making taking back the planet pointless
no

>>96538355
If so, they'll miss the mark just like they did with the Dorn tank. They're already getting other Ork stuff wrong.

>>96538330
>not crediting the artist

>>96538394
sacrifice was the point.

>>96537804
Why was this image deleted, while not being nsfw, and also without the whole post being deleted? I'm assuming this is a jannies post?

>>96538441
Literally nobody asked or wanted to know. Buy an ad

>>96538453
Well congratulations, you sacrificed yourself. Now what's the next step of your master plan?

>>96537708
Imagine picrel only, instead of a scalie's wet dream, it's a half-naked elf babe with a gun. Sounds ok to me.

>>96537855
armageddon steel legion is so much better than le plebbit "muh shovel ecksdee" army it's not even funny.

Oh uh here come the steel legion posers to seethe about the death korps being more popular

>>96538355
Killa kans will have baggy pants and cool sneakers in the 11th edition starter set

>>96538506
This lad definitely still deals D6 mortals to himself when he fails his Shooty Power Trip test

>>96538503
Aren't they just yellow and grey colored versions of the same thing? Not a guardfag but I always assume it was like imperial fists and crimson fists where outside lore they're functionally the same thing aesthetically

>>96538483
I'd like it more if you just gave the lizardman fat tits and wide hips and scatter some scifi macguffins on it. Aos gets plenty of fur fag representation, it should be 40ks turn next

Krieg vs Tau, who wins.

>>96538511
You have to roll to see whether his modelo got shaken up in his big jeans pockets and sprays him in the face

>>96538462
you posted the art, you were the one doing the advertising. sorry you got butthurt about it.

>>96538477
being forgiven for my ancestors being traitorous fucks.

krieg are the most cringe imperial guard regiment, they've sucked in everything they are in, die like bitches, can't even deal with a little daemonic/space marine presence like the cadians can, and are a great example of how secondaries don't know anything about this game

>>96538544

no, they barely won, the rewrite was better and less gay

>>96537689
Where did this first get leaked?

>>96538533
The Obsidian Knight

>>96537854
i'm not even sure why you'd think it was a troll. It's legit, I'm starting Eldar

>>96538558
There's nothing 'common' about the Imperial Guard. They're the elite 1% of the elite 1%. The best of the best, honed to perfection.

>>96538579
uh oh, grimdank is leaking

>>96538533
Kriegers only exist to be more frail, feminine guardsmen for sisters to bully

>>96538579
no they aren't lmao
they're the chaff men and women the planets don't care about losing in the hundreds of thousands by being used as human shields for the weapon emplacements and vehicles

>>96538576
nta, but the elf smut, probably.

>>96538538
I didn't post the art, I just called you a faggot for assuming anyone needed to know who drew your favorite buzz lightyear

>>96538579
Where did you hear that? Every planet raises their own regiments based on their own criteria. Military worlds like Cadia or Krieg may demand high standards, but other planets just worry about making sure they have enough bodies to satisfy the tithe.

>>96538586
>I just called you a faggot for personal reasons
got it lol.

>>96538585
I don't think there's a single person who chose to play any flavor of Eldar who wasn't at least a little bit motivated by attraction to elfs.

>>96538584
Like 99% of the Imperial Guard are the most elite PDF regiments that can be taken from the Hive worlds, who themselves take the elite 1% of their population to use as their PDF. The toughest, baddest hivers you can imagine, who eat iron and spit lead, given good equipment.

>>96538591
Youre crying too hard rn

>>96537662
There's an ork pig cart on display at my local game store and honestly it looks so cool. Maybe that's just because that particular one is very well painted but I don't think it's a poorly designed model by any means.

>>96538597
stop getting your lore from sloptubers

>>96538594
I think this is what's known as "projecting".

>>96538597
Isn't most of the imperial guard underage recruits, in what sense is that elite or threatening

>>96538597
>ws 4+
lmao

>>96538554
Actually false.
Two regiments have been confirmed to have been broken. One was terrified into breaking by the Night Lords flying up and tearing apart their commander in front of them.

>>96538600
Apologies anon. I'm still trying to recover.

>>96538602
don't reply to 3 hour old bait

>Ghaz, 10 Nobz and a Battlewagon
>Ghaz, 20 Boyz, a Weird boy and a Deffdread
>2 Beast Bosses, 20 Snagga Boyz, 2 Trukks and a Beast Boss on Squigosaur
Very similar cost at 590-605. Not sure which group would be the most fun.

>>96538594
Haha what if she played a joke on you by dropping a coin and getting you to pick it up and then pegged you like as a joke haha that'd be so funny LOL

>>96538606
Why would they use underage people? There's literally so many people in the Imperium that they can't find enough room or jobs for them all. The limiting factor for the Imperium is that they just don't have enough ships to ferry them all, so they have to use the best of the best.

>>96538619
that's not true in the slightest

>>96538613
thats a tough one. go with what your heart tells you anon.

>>96538617
everyone knows the shadowseer is an anal creampie queen

>>96538612
It's not surprising that there are people who hate it though, it's a "centrepiece" model which pisses a lot of people off, and it's not grimdark enough or whatever.

>>96538619
Source? For literally any of that?

>>96538626
There's nothing grimdark about any ork model

>>96538625
I would be her anal creampie queen if she'd let me...

>>96538629
he doesn't have one, it is true that the imperium has too many people and forcefeed them hormone suppressants so they don't overbreed, but not having enough ships and the guard being the ELITE OF THE ELITE is some weird secondary cope

How do we fix Ork?

hi friends just started building my sisters of battle army and have a question! what models should i get for anti tank/anti vehicle bc its looking like all the sisters have are mostly infantry units

>>96538643
mad dok fix ork

>>96538020
Deathguard post nerf still rips em apart

>>96538625
Nah. She'd want you to open Pandora's "box"

dont hate gooners, just dont like 'em. simple as.

>>96538643
They just need a bit of AP. -1 for Squig hogz that are supposed to be the premier anti-tank for most of the edition is never going to cut it. -2 Tankbustas were great for 1 month, got pointed out of relevance by More Dakka and haven’t been unnerfed since. Knock 25 points off them (140>115) and give 1 more AP to the Hogs and Orks would be above 50%.

>>96538597
>Like 99% of the Imperial Guard are the most elite PDF regiments that can be taken from the Hive worlds

That's a thing you made up or someone else made up and you repeated.

>>96538668
Why would the Imperial Guard take anything less than the best?

>>96538605
no it's accurate.

>>96538645
Exorcists and Castigator tanks are both good anti tank options. If you don't hate the paragon warsuits they also have some antitank options. Other then that your infantry option is Retributors (The best kit in the entire range imo).

>>96538671
because the guard aren't meant to be fighters

>>96538663
I would imagine the feeling is mutual

what would a warhammer 40k inspired 4-leaf clover look like?

>>96538623
I will try all of them

Maybe Lorgar had a point

>>96538671
Its a volunteer/conscription based army. Neither one is really going to get you the best of the best especially when you just need to fill a numbers quota

>>96538671
What do you mean "why"? Do you know how any of this works? Like, at all? Do you understand why the different regiments in the lor are called "the Cadians", "Catachan", "Krieg" etc.? Those are the names of the world those regiments are raised from.

Each planet above a certain population has to meet a tithe, a number of regiments they have to raise when called upon to do so. When the Imperial Navy shows up, those regiments need to be ready to go. That's the system. The famous planets are famous because they have very high standards for the guys they send. But that is in no way universal. Different planets do it differently.

So in any given fight what are the actual stakes involved for the Imperium?

Like...we don't really care if the lose the battle for Armageddon, for example. There are over 32,000 hive worlds, Armageddon is only one of them, the Imperium wouldn't even notice if it was lost. So, what's the stakes?

>>96538706
armageddon is important because of its location, not the uniqueness of the planet
same with almost every other imperial world that gets desperately defended, they're either in a critical position or they have some unique resource to offer

>>96538706
massive resources lost and the enemy potentially gaining ground especially bad of orks or chaos gets the planet

>>96538709
But...it's space. You can just....go past planets. Or go around. Hell the Imperium isn't even a contiguous territory, there's xenos and chaos infecting planets within it all over the place.

>>96538711
>massive resources lost
What, .001% of the Imperium's resources? Oh no, what a setback!

>>96538712
The fact that the Imperium isn't contiguous makes the locations of planets even more important. A world might be a crucial staging ground for a nearby conflict, or might be in a relatively calm space in the Warp so it's safer and easier for ships to enter and exit the Warp nearby. It might be the biggest food producing planet within the closest dozen systems, and therefore crucial for keeping the whole region supplied.

>>96538706
The strategic importance of the planets, the artifacts they stand to gain or lose and the time they can buy for the greater war effort are the stakes. Maybe it’s vital information. Sometimes it’s not about what you have to lose or gain but what you must prevent the opposing factions from gaining. Sometimes it’s just about pride.

>>96538717
First off, if every world is only .001% and the Imperium decides it's not worth fighting over, then rapidly they will start losing worlds and that 1 will start moving left.

Secondly, resources are one thing. Resources where you need them are a much bigger deal. This is what the other anon was getting at by talking about the importance of location

>>96538717
yeah and if you dont contest it not only do you lose that planet, the orks/nids/chaos/whatever is still fresh to move on and take the next one

>>96538712
>>96538717
You've clearly already set your false image of how the setting works in stone in your mind and are just looking to argue
But I'll leave you off with the statement that you're fully wrong about how 40k works or why those planets are important

>>96538717
its not like the entire Imperium has access to everything at once. if a planet is important to the system its in then that whole system really feels the loss since it could be the only one like it. remember even the populace is a resource that contributes to the guard and a lost planet is billions of soldiers lost over the course of thousands of years

>>96538717
the more planets that are lost the more people lose hope and turn to chaos to cope. even if a planet has no use its still better to keep it safe bc that is less potential heretics and daemons

>>96538696
>The 7th Karthan “Paper Pushers”
>unit trained to file requisition forms
>accidentally sent to the front

>>96538706
>>96538717
Losing resources and your enemy taking control is a double setback that has the potential to spiral out of control.
It's generally how Ork empires start because the imperium loses a key manufactuaring world, the wider sector loses its war supplies and the orks gain those through looting, so the defended of neighboring worlds are worse off and have a much harder time defending.
Once an ork empire is entrenched enough they'll start raiding other sectors causing havoc for an even larger area of the imperium, and since their so entrenched it usually takes quite a sizable crusade to retake the worlds, and if they don't do it fast enough that'll just causing otehr Ork warbands to get come and take part in a good fight.
So at the end of the day it's much more cost effective to not lose the world in the first place, than it is to deal with problems that are caused by losing it.

>>96538747
And that's why the UK told those Argie fucks to get off the Faukland Islands

very nice

>>96538757
they dont like chaos and mog demons

It's pretty annoying that they got some cool lore in the chaos psychic awakening expansion, but it was locked away in the special edition.
It was really refreshing reading the fluff in the Faith and Fury book because it felt like the writer had a great grasp on how each of the legions wage war.

T'au lack a social life and as such their civilian life is largely based on civic duty. Due to the scheduled breeding within a caste there is no meaningful family unit to base civilian life around. In this way the civilian life of the T'au is functionally based on the "work unit" and probably has the closest real world comparison to Japanese work culture. Furthermore the T'au forgo the concept of personal property combined with the water caste mediated social hierarchy leaves the majority of the civilian impulse to be focused inward on the execution and improvement of their work duties. You can imagine the average T'au civilian as a Shokunin with their shortened life span and communal birth group/schooling providing an accelerated 10,000 hour program from the ages of 5 to 9 where they are holding the 'saal rank. Likely around their 10th year they are elevated to 'la and placed into their first "real" position in their caste industry.

>>96539052

>>96539090
There's very little anxiety in T'au society due to the strict, ordained nature of their social ordering that the real world Japanese equivalent lacks due to the necessary competition a society in the real world demands.

You have to occupy the mindset of a T'au being born into a welcome role they are well equipped to grow into without any of the social anxiety of needing to HUSTLE and SHUCK and JIVE. They dont know how to be miserable because they dont know how to want more than they are provided.

By the way, that's a rogue Tau who runs a mafia ring smuggling Tau tech to the highest bidder.
Anyway, Tau do have social lives outside their jobs. AS pointed out by an anon, Water Caste members in their free time open up shops not for money but as a hobby in which they get to know and interact with alien races and fellow Tau.
Recreational drinking is common among the Water and Fire Caste.

In the Elemental Council novel, it's said that the Tau instinctively seek to socialize and form connections with other Tau even if they are from other castes.

>>96539352
It seemed just as daft back then

The fist itself is big and slow, but if he wants to use the sword to swing at initiative he'd have to HOLD IT IN THE BIG SLOW FIST

That's why he turns his fists off when he uses the sword.

Here's a legit question to everyanon who wants some form of Exodite model;
Let's say GW were to release a mounted Exodite, or an Exodite with a dino familiar/pet/attack animal, which would you prefer? [A] A creature that either is, or looks very much like, a real dinosaur? Or [B] a creature that looks like a dinosaur but more fantastical, maybe more dragon like, or something like the Mutadon (raptor/pteranodon hybrid from the most recent Jurassic World movie) or the 'Ultimasaurus' (pic related, from a scrapped Jurassic Park toyline)?

>>96539352
>>96539364
What if the fists are only slow because they need to be charged for each punch? So if you don't charge them it's just big hands?

Also I just realized the new model has some of the weirdest aiguillettes/cords ever, instead of being worn over the chest decoration, it IS the chest decoration.

So are all new models just copying older models/artworks but without understanding what their reference did/why did they it?

why did drukhari go down an inch of movement and leadership

As someone who wants to get into using an airbrush, would pic related be worth it? Its like 77 euro has 0-100 PSI has a compressor without tank and all the little bits included
No clue about how well liked or disliked Timbertech is, but on my local reseller this one has about 52 reviews with overall 4.5/5 star rating and people seem overall positive about it
And if I were to get it, besides an airbrush wash set what else is a must?

>>96539420
There are eight actually

>>96539377
I think exodites' dinosaurs should looke somewhat alien, as in having more than 4 limbs and/or more than 2 eyes

no chitinous segmented parts and no mammalian bodyplans though, they should look recognisable as a "trex but..." or "raptor but..." or "ceratopsian but..." or "sauropod but..."

think avatar alien creatures, but dial that back a few notches and stick to dinosaur silhouettes instead of reskinning panthers, gazelles and dogs or monkeys.

>>96539432

>>96539364
I would think the power fist is easily detachable at will, but the sword is mostly symbolic, I guess.

>>96539431
All those off-hand compressors are about the same in terms of quality, I'd try and find the cheapest possible compressors you can find with a tank. It allows you to spray for longer periods of time without burning out the motors super fast and also is a more controlled burst of air, whereas that one will pulse slightly and the motor will run nonstop

>>96539431
That's the generic chinesium kit there. The compressor is sold in slightly different versions under any number of names, but it's all the same thing from the same factory. It's nothing to be amazed by, but it's ok, the version with an air tank bolted on is slightly better.
Airbrush likewise is standard cheap Chinese stuff. But at least it's a gravity fed double action. Probably not very good, but will likely manage to vomit out base coat and (with sufficient nozzle size) primer as well. Usually have very fragile nozzle designs, don't cry when you break it.
An ok place to start, replace the airbrush with something better when it breaks or you want to do finer detail stuff, replace the compressor with the tank version or something better when it dies on you.

Don't Kroot already kinda occupy Exodites niche? They have their own Krootosaurs and are space primitives kinda like Na'vi, Wookies, Yautja etc. And Kroot are already being updated, got a big wave which coincidentally avoided Knarlocs, hell they are even seemingly getting another model soon. It feels like they could easily get a second wave focused on their Dinosaur aspect

Then again maybe they didn't get Knarlocs recently to not overlap with Exodites so much

>>96539444
>>96539448
Alright so the important thing is to just get a decent/good compressor and spend the hard cash on the actual airbrush then, right?
Harder & Steenbeck and Iwata are the highest rated ones from what I saw. Any specific models you guys would recommend?
>I'd try and find the cheapest possible compressors you can find with a tank
>replace the compressor with the tank version or something better
Alright, pic related is one of the highest rating ones on my local reseller, Fengda FD-196(AS-196) (ching chong) with a max 6 bar air pressure and is said to be suitable for 0,2-1 mm airbrush nozzles, 130 euro price total. Would this be so recommended pick? 47db noise wise so at least it wont be loud as fuck compared to what I usually hear about these things hitting 70-80db

>>96539473
>occupying niches
That's not how things work.
If people want eldars on dinosaurs, bird people on bigger birds is not gonna do it for them.

>>96539473
somewhat, but not quite
the beak and stubby tail of the knarlocs change how they get read as dinos, and the kroots themselves are more of the gory kind of savage

>>96539461
You might be thinking of jolt cola

>>96539475
Look at air compressors at your local hardware store. They're meant for powering air powered nail guns and the like but with a good regulator you can bring the pressure down to work with an airbrush. They have much larger tanks than hobbyist compressors which means you can use your airbrush for longer without the compressor firing up.
They can get quite loud but there are silenced compressors that go down to 50db~

>>96538789
>RAAAH I FUCKING LOVE THE STATUS QUO

>>96539475
Honestly, unless you're doing anime statues or really tiny airbrush blends, you can buy a really cheap airbrush too. I've been using a 30cad polish clone airbrush for a decade now, and use it for blends, vanishing, zenithals, basecoats, primes etc.. with no issues. And yeah that compressor looks better. It'll also be quieter because a tank compressor only runs the piston until the tanks full and then turns off automatically, so most of the time it's not running and you're just spraying off the tank silently.

>>96537688
>>96538602

Definitly not an intentional writing decision but the subtext of a warrior caste that deeply connects with each of their members (except auxilliaries) and do blood oaths to be coordinated as a team in samurai-like fashion just being absokutely flabbergasted by a superhuman throwing around guardsman as if they are useless unending fodder is absolutely the type of interaction I love between the tau empire and the imperium, genuinely how are you even supposed to respond to that

>>96539095
The tau empire is known for giving unreasonable punishments over failure of their members. I remember reading in elemental council that one of the earth caste characters was relegated from working with crisis suits to taking care of waste management in a shithole sept over 1 mistake

You think the designer did it on purpose?

>>96539524
Did a british company take inspiration from the most famous british show?
Maybe.

Can genestealers mess up with psykers and astropaths the same way hive fleets do or is it a mainline big nid exclusive thing?

>>96539493
Hm, alright I will check out the local hardware stores next time I am in the city, I didnt know this.
>>96539499
>you can buy a really cheap airbrush too. I've been using a 30cad polish clone airbrush for a decade now, and use it for blends, vanishing, zenithals, basecoats, primes etc
On the other hand getting a cheapo simple airbrush is also something I considered, I mainly do grimdark stuff using enamel washes, oils, technicals etc so I imagine I'd use an airbrush for priming, zenithals and then doing some basic layers or at the very least selectively paint some areas, so maybe thats a better idea
Pic related is what I had in mind, surprised by the amount of good reviews and even some YTers made it work, surely this could be an option, no? Its also like 40 euro which is nothing

>>96539536
I've been seeing the cheap temu ones being shilled here someone besides myself but yeah they work for basecoating and priming. The tip of the one I used got cracked so I bought a replacement airbrush from Temu again for $4 only, paid about $20 for the airbrush + compressor a few months ago so don't pay 40 euro for it, just order it yourself. It's not really precise or anything but again works great, easy to clean and so on.

If Lucius the Eternal were killed by a xenos, would he become a Chaos Xenos? What about a woman? What about a dog? What about a Primarch?

>>96539533
It's not a mainline big nid thing, it's a mainline numerous nids thing
cultists aren't numerous enough and aren't synaptically communicating enough

but they are psychically active, somewhat in communion with the patriarch's own broodmind, and sometimes numerous, so perhaps they can do something small scale and local

>>96539533
The "shadow in the warp" phenomenon is a byproduct of the tyranids being so numerous and psychically active that they drown out everything else but themselves. I would assume genestealer cults generally don't achieve the same effect, even connected through their brood mind, because there just aren't nearly as many of them clustered together most of the time.

>>96539571
Because nobody wants to write for the EC. The last book they got was Black Templar wank. Don't ask questions, you just get Lucius and his face-armor.

He also took over a Necron body. Slaanesh will always bring him back somehow.

>>96539553
He's been killed by necrons on at least two occasions. The results are the same.

Best fair skin tone paint coverage wise? I need suggestions.

>>96539580
>>96539578

Do Necrons not get faces on his armor?

>>96539586
All light skin tones will cover poorly. Either start from a darker tone, something like bugmans glow, or use a brighter primer.

>>96539592
I was afraid of such an answer. Alright thanks!

>>96539591
Do Necrons have souls?

>>96539552
Temu/Ali it is in that case
Priming jobs look good, nice. When you say its not really precise, you just mean tiny details and such right? You got any finished minis where you used that thing to carry the heavy lifting? (base coats, highlights, effects etc)

>>96539609
In my case the heavy lifting is painting the GSC armor with the grey that I have, which is Vallejo Game Color Stonewall Grey. I like its tone but a bit difficult to work it, dries too fast, thinning it down takes some effort and so on. It takes a lot of time to basecoat the armors with a brush, whereas I can just load up the airbrush with some airbrush thinner and 10 models are all painted in 15 minutes including cleaning the airbrush. I painted 30 neophytes + 5 acolytes after priming them super fast, which would take me forever to do with a brush.
By not being precise I mean the nozzle/needle being large (0.3mm so it sprays on a wider area) so the paint gets to the areas that are not intended. Which is fine for priming and basecoating larger surfaces.

>>96539552
>>96539609
Ah found something similar and it made me think, and its probably not possible and a retarded question in general, but theoretically if I would buy pic related, could you also replace the cheapo pistol with a more expensive airbrush if you can connect it to the compressor or is that a fat no go?

>>96539622
Being able to not take forever with base coats sounds wonderful for sure
>By not being precise I mean the nozzle/needle being large (0.3mm so it sprays on a wider area) so the paint gets to the areas that are not intended.
Oof, alright so smaller areas are a little tough but you can use it to do some undertones and such, no?

>>96539595
not officially

>>96539624
While you can always connect stuff somehow, I doubt that compressor will give you the airflow to let a good airbrush do its job properly.

>>96539524
They look nothing alike, you just have autism.

>>96539641
>I doubt that compressor will give you the airflow to let a good airbrush do its job properly
Alright fair enough, thats a shame but makes sense

>>96539624
>>96539631
No idea. It's a single-action airbrush that has a constant airflow, a decent airbrush is a double-action one where you also control the airflow and the mini-compressor might not be suitable to deal with that.
Just go for it, it's dirtcheap and just for being able to prime makes it worth. I've yet to use varnishes but gonna try that out soon as well. Make sure to grab some airbrush thinner and some isopropyl alcohol for cleaning stuff. It's probably gonna die on you, which is a good learning experience and you can just replace it for 4 dollars provided the compressor still works.

>>96539631
Maybe. An 0.3 nozzle ain't huge (a compressor like that won't move enough air for a really wide nozzle anyway), but there's a question about how even this thing sprays and how good control you can get over it. Extensive use of masking tape and putty can help.

Like, Space Marines, every edition they paint their new models in the same scheme, for the same army while here I am who would paint Dark Angels one edition and Black Templars the next or like I would like to have both a Night Lord army and an Iron Warrior army. How do I become loyal like some people?

its all so tiresome

>Ironhands have fans
No way.

>>96539717
Are WE fun?

>>96539710
for what purpose?

>>96539724
Yes
I was sceptical of their Yahtzee army rules but in actual practice 8D6 will almost always ensure you get what you want which is Lethals and Sustains

>>96539710
a mix of shallow wallet, autism and lack of imagination

>>96539721
we do in fact exist

>>96539734
oh boy here comes the bitching about undrilled barrels

>>96539734
you don't count if you became a fan when their subfaction rules were overpowered

>>96539622
Aren't you also the anon who fucked up priming his abominant and paint started chipping?

>>96539738
they were my first army and i havent even looked up their detachment rules.

>>96539736
none of my barrels are drilled, i welcome the seethe.

>>96539739
Yeah, it only happened on the abominant. The neophytes + acolytes I primed alongside are all fine. Painting the acolytes now.

>>96539736
barrel sounding is a degenerate perversion

>>96539746
i would paint the barell hole but ive ran out of abaddon black and have been making by with my 2 pots of black templar contrast for doing my Iron hands atm.

>>96539561
Not him but the last Dawn of Fire book has Guilliman essentially state tbat he wants a long-term alliance with the Eldar against Chaos and the Necrons, and believes that the Imperium will be able to coexist peacefully with the Eldar once things have settled down.

>>96539738
What if I became a fan when they revealed the Power Kanabo man, and also enjoy the fact that Iron Hands are asshole?

>>96539745
I'm curious to know what happened. I got a cheap airbrush for basecoating like you though I haven't used it yet. I would like to avoid this fate.

>>96539745
Maybe there was some leftover airbrush cleaner in your airbrush, even a drop could fuck you over.

Greeting /g/enerals! One of 3 Ad mech fans reporting in. New to the game side of the hobby, played a few combat patrols and one incursion before last night but I finally won a game against a pretty vehicle heavy orc with this army.

Char1: 1x Tech-Priest Dominus (80 pts): Macrostubber, Volkite blaster
Enhancement: Inloaded Lethality (+15 pts)
Tech-Priest Enginseer (55 pts)
Tech-Priest Manipulus (70 pts): Warlord, Magnarail lance
Enhancement: Sanctified Ordnance (+10 pts)

10x Skitarii Rangers (85 pts) with all special weapons and Omnispex
5x Corpuscarii Electro-Priests (65 pts)
6x Kataphron Breachers (320 pts): 6 with Arc claw, Heavy arc rifle
5x Pteraxii Sterylizors (80 pts)
1x Ironstrider Ballistarii (70 pts):Twin cognis lascannon
1x Skorpius Disintegrator (165 pts): Ferrumite cannon

The electro priests lead by the Dominus won the day though. Came in from reserves and wiped the entire left flank, didn't suffer a single loss.

Playing again in a psudo event at a buddies house next week, if any Mago's here have any advice its always welcome!

>>96539755

This is blatant discrimination. All we want is to exterminate you.

>>96539548
I dont give a shit about the eldar, artemis literally admitted that he wanted humanity to fall to chaos and prevented what was most likely the only way to stop slaanesh

>>96539782
Yeah but the Imperium would never willingly risk trillions of human lives just to win a decisive victory

Every video of a youtuber talking about what they want to see/what we can expect to see in the 11th edition launch box includes a Landspeeder, Vanguard Vets and a Tactical Squad. Every single one, it's like they've all been told to say the same thing to build anticipation for those units in the launch box. Are we being psyopped?

>>96539797
It's just the very obvious list of what is left without primaris updates

>>96539797
No, there's one rumormonger with a track record (valrak) getting his info from what's apparently a reliable source (that I can only hope is in a deal to get a percentage of what the fat fuck gets in donations for his rumor videos), who has mentioned speeder and vanvets, and then there's people repeating that information.

>>96539763
Could be, I don't recall whether I started priming with the abominant or the neophytes but if it was the abominant and left-over cleaner got to it that may explain stuff. But I always put in some thinner first and spray some to get the things going.
>>96539760
I just don't know.

>>96539797
>Landspeeder
Don't we already have a Primaris Landspeeder?

>>96539840
Night Lords?
More like Night Snores!

>>96539797
If you're retarded enough to actually watch sloptubers you deserve to be psyopped.

>>96539841
>we specifically need a demi-god to man the 8 shot rocket launcher
stupid ass 12 year old mindset designers

>>96539841
Yeah, I really don't get it either.
Unless they mean GW is gonna add the stormspeeder into the starterbox? Which isn't out of the realm of reality.
Imo the storm speeder is just fine and fits well among the other speeders

I personally never really gave a damn about the anti-grav speeder things marines had. I just think they look too goofy.

>>96539846
They should have put a servitor there instead like the one they have in the Stormravens turret

>>96539844
Yeah, it's kinda dumb.
I think it was a missed opportunity, but GW could've added a servitor or a servo skull type thing to be the one that controls the missile launcher, etc.

>>96539859
Meant to reply to this >>96539846

>>96539797
>Could they have a basic idea of a box?
>No, this is a conspiracy

I just realized that what makes airbrushing expensive is not the paints or the equipment but the thinner. Holy shit you use the thing by the gallon and it's really not cheap.

>reading Armageddon crusade rules
>in some missions unaligned NPC Daemons spawn and can aggro and fight either players army

The fuck. GW just said use 3rd party shit.

LOL

>>96539930
But the eldar were in charge of the galaxy and didn't exterminate mankind at all.

>>96539939
He no longer writes for GW, hes doing his own books now. There were rumors he was supposed to be writing a Corsair book but he said thats not true.

>>96539917
Oh yeah good point. We might actually be getting a primaris'd landspeeder storm

>>96539892
How much thinner do you use? There are AIR paints and I think they don't need a thinner.

>>96539939
Wait what

VECT ALWAYS WINS
100 TRILLION MORE SOULS TO CUMRAG

My Eldar Combat Patrol arrives today and I still haven't settled on a Craftworld.

I want to do one of the big five so I can use the transfers. They all have cool lore to recommend them. I've never played 40k before so I don't have a preferred playstyle or anything. And honestly the thing that made me pull the trigger is I believe the Exodite rumors so I wat to already own and be experienced with Eldar by the time those guys drop so I'll be able to immediately start integrating them with my army instead of starting from scratch.

I posted about this yesterday but the Eldar pic I included was too hot and distracted everybody, so I still need help figuring this out!

>>96539976
If you enjoy the rainbow aspect of the eldar you could simply have your army a coalition of various craftworld forces

a unit of guardians from ulthwe, bikers from saim hann, wraiths from biel tan etc

>>96539956
Usually anywhere from 1:1.5 to 1:2 paint to thinner. I do a lot of brushing as well so air paints aren't very convenient, I'd rather just buy the thinner honestly.

>>96539976
Grogs here are going to hate me but I would recommend just reading the wiki for the craftworlds included on the transfer sheet and picking the one with the lore / color scheme that seems coolest to you.

But I'm still convinced you are the guy who hates eldarfags so much hes larping with gay eldar art as low grade shitpost. I'll believe it when I see models.

>They probably are (lorewise at least)
no, they aren't
not in numbers, not in relevancy, and not in culture

Playing YOUR army will always be special. Playing a netdeck army list like the game is MTG is just... gray and empty.

People that have read the new codex, is this box set actually good to add to two old combat patrols to make a full army?

>>96540204
>is this box set actually good to add to two old combat patrols to make a full army?
Good luck finding one at the price that made it such a good deal

>>96540204
Hellions and Wyches are a lot better. Scourges are the same so still very much autotake. Kabalites still good for objectives. Incubi really good now. If all you have is the combat patrols and you’re starting a new army this is a great box. I won’t get it because I have so much of these contents already but for new people it’s good provided you have raiders already.

>>96540204
1 of every unit is never a good army, but it should be wonderful for a new collector who wants a deal to get as many units of the army

the scam in this is that the rules are shit and that some units will be replaced in 3 years

>>96540098
I finished my three autogun sergeants. I'll check them for anything I may have missed before basing and varnishing.
Now I need to work on my vox-casters. I'm thinking of making their vox-caster equipment grey except for the antennae parts which will be metallic.
But I have also considered red too.

>>96540235
because good guys are more popular than bad guys
because primaris marines are bigger than chaos marines
because space marines have a larger range of kits
because not many people like the fleshmetal growths
because chaos marines are slaves and pawns to the gods

>>96540380
Chaos Space Marine warbands, Drukhari Kabals, Covens, and Cults.
Basically just the armies that are a 'hater' in all senses. They want to hurt uncountable quadrillions and for each cycle of their suffering to be stretched into a geological epoch.

I was lucky enough find a squad of the original jes goodwin rubrics. I also have a spare captain with robotic leg so I think I'll go all out and make a sergeant for the squad too.

>>96540437
>haunted armour misses a piece, so it gets a prosthetic
weird, but alright

>>96540444
What if it had the prosthetic before?

>>96540436
CSM are definitely still a normie army because they have Primarchs and everybody loves their fucking Primarchs.
Drukhari are for edgy hipsters for sure though.

>>96540461
thats why you have to go for the artisanal <your dudes> donut steel CSM warbands

What's a good brush on black primer? Abaddon Black is ass. GW recommends multiple thin coats of it but it still sucks.

Also in the Necron Codex they recommend using the Runelord Brass or Leadbelcher paint to prime the model. Would that really work? Shouldn't you prime Black, White or Grey first?

>>96540484
I've had good usage with ProAcryl's airbrush primer brushed on so I'd imagine that their black brush on primer will work quite nicely.

>>96540557
The old CSM box was kinda full of them. There should be plenty around.

alright 40kg I have just about 2000 points of my starting army. been wanting to spread out into another army. I was thinking about doing Space marines with a Ironstorm Dread list or Votann. What do you guys think? also

>there were 12 years between the Druhkari's 3rd edtion release and their 5th edition refresh
>its been 15 years since that 5th edition refresh
huh

though honestly looking at their 5th edition models I don't think the plastics really need a refresh, unless you really want them to be in-scale with modern 40k releases. The resin kits all getting remade as plastic kits would be nice albeit.

>>96540662
4th-6th were golden age of plastic kits

>>96540662
They're not out of scale either

1/2

>>96540674
>tale of painters
I'm not saying this one is bad, but most of their scale comparisons are retarded and misleading.

I've been into the lore (video games, books, etc) for awhile but have decided to get some models to paint. Not sure if I'll play the game but might at some point.

Are Adepta Sororitas playable at all on the tabletop? That's the faction I like the most but if they're stonecold unplayable maybe I'll pick something else. I don't care about metagaming for warhammer since I'm into it for the fluff but would like the option to play

For Space Marines, can I use specific army rules/codex for generic marines?
I want to make a homebrew chapter so I don't want to include chapter specific characters/units, but I'd like to lean into melee and I heard Blood Angels, Dark Knights, Black Templars, etc are much better for this.

Pretty new so sorry if this is a dumb question

>>96540674
2/2

>>96540662
>>96540674
I think the majority of people wanting a refresh will regret it when they release the new Kabalites and Wyches. Less options, more tactical rocks, silly poses. The potential for them to mess up is immense.
And one thing is for sure: They wont be as cheap any more.

If i were a Dark Eldar player (i own the Hand of the Archon KT, but thats it), i would buy some more Infantry right now, because both kits are great as they are.

>>96540679
Just make a successor chapter of those and you can use their units too anon.

>>96540678
>Are Adepta Sororitas playable at all on the tabletop?
Depends on when you are asking the question, rules change all the time.

There's a bigger problem of SoB being one of the hardest to paint and most expensive factions to collect in the game.

>>96540662
Yeah, it is kind of sad they lost four more units. Most of which have been in the faction since the very beginning in 3rd. They got their first new data sheet in 15 years and it's just for an upgrade. Sprue for kablites with some garbage melee weapons (and only because they are phasing them out of Kill-Team and wanted to rebox them). Meanwhile, they've lost nine units total in that same time span.

>>96540677
>but most of their scale comparisons are retarded and misleading.

How so? You can see the bases on all of them

>>96539903
thats how they did daemons in thorpe's abortion of a CSM codex

>>96540692
>They wont be as cheap any more
Dark Eldar are literally already the fifth most expensive Army in the game.

>>96540696
I don't really care about the cost desu. Not trying to flex but I have a good job and am pretty well off

>>96539952
has he gone on any lgbbqt podcasts to spill the beans about working with BL?

>>96540678
You can by SoB rn in your local Warhammer store. They're not too strong or too weak afaik

>>96540694
I know but I'd rather keep their geneseed unknown and give myself a bit more freedom lore wise. Half the fun for me is writing lore stuff

But can generic marines use chapter specific rules?

With the new rules, are Orcs good again?

>>96540719
Yeah I asked because there is a games workshop store not that far from me and I am heading over that way today for something else. Thought I might buy something and see what it's like to paint a model

>>96539952
>There were rumors he was supposed to be writing a Corsair book but he said thats not true.
Oh it's not, isn't?

Sisters of Battle are hard to paint but they also look amazing when done well because of how many bits and bobs they have. They remind me of chaos in that way.

>>96540723
>Orcs
D&D general is thata way >>

>>96537689
HE ALREADY GOT A FUCKING PRIMARIS MODEL, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

>>96540708
I'm talking about their troop boxes Anon. Did you even read the post? Its about Wyches and Kabalites. Not the army in its whole.

They are both $45 (35€) MSRP. For 10.
To set this into comparison:
Necron Warriors: $52
Hormagaunts: $52
Tau Fire Warriors: $60
Tau Scouts $45
Kroot: $58
Ork Boys: old $45 new $60

The two DE boxes are among the cheapest base infantry sets GW currently sells, and its guaranteed that they will raise that price whenever they get an update, and this update is not guaranteed to be as good as the current boxes (see new ork boys as an example, or the chaos cultists).

>>96540703
Because in many occasions they have chosen the worst poses to compare minis, when the new cadians came out we had a fuckload of morons posting their size comparison that mislead many people into thinking the new cadians (or krieg) weren't bigger.

If you want to compare who's taller between two guys, you don't ask one to crouch or lean, defeats the whole point, you want all in the same poses. And let's not pretend modern GW miniatures have many different poses to begin with.

>>96540731
>male protagonist

They aren't bigger.

New
>>96540763

>>96540763

>>96540763

>>96540758
so are they misleading or are they not?

>>96540759
>eldar
yes

>>96540722
No. Most Astartes rules require a specific keyword in the units stat line.

Ie blood angels detachment Red thirst reads "RESTRICTIONS
Your army can include BLOOD ANGELS units, but it cannot include any ADEPTUS ASTARTES units drawn from any other Chapter."

or the Black Templar's detachment
"You can re-roll Advance and Charge rolls made for ADEPTUS ASTARTES units from your army.

RESTRICTIONS
Your army can include BLACK TEMPLARS units, but it cannot include any ADEPTUS ASTARTES units drawn from any other Chapter."

Thats the way Astarte's detachments work in 10th. You can't mix and match chapter specific units (Units with key words black templar's, space wolves, ect) But you can use generic Astarte's and 1 chapter

>>96540722
>Muh special Astartes chapter does everything every other chapter does with no drawbacks.

Sounds like a Gary Stu chapter. You might want to make sure your special chapter actually fits the setting and lore anon.

>>96540769
You tell me

>>96540775
>>96540785
I'm not asking if I can use all chapter rules, I'm asking if generic marines get access to those rules too.
Like, do Intercessors also get access to Red Thirst if I'm playing with Blood Angels rules

>>96537967
Why can't knights have long enough arms to hit smaller than a dreadnought targets? Why can't they have hands so weapon swaps are an easy thing?

>>96539364
>>96539352
It actually goes back to 2nd edition because at the time having a sword was one of the few way to have someone be able to parry.

It's like the reason for why all the standard Questoris Knights have a stubber. At the time if you shoot something you were forced to charged that thing, so by having a stubber you were able to shoot the big cannon against a target and then charge the other thing you just plinked with a stubber.

>>96540807
Fists for knight to knight-sized combat
chainsword for anything below

>>96540805
Yes anon, any unit with the "ADEPTUS ASTARTES" Key word would get the bonus but in order to play that detachment you can only use generic and space marine units with the BLOOD ANGELS keyword. IE you will be playing blood angels or a blood angels successor chapter.

"Each time an ADEPTUS ASTARTES unit from your army is selected to fight, if that unit made a Charge move this turn, until the end of the phase, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic and add 2 to the Strength characteristic of melee weapons equipped by models in that unit."

>>96540679
You can choose to use any of their army rules without picking special characters, yes. Things only get restrictive if you want to play certain chapter-locked characters or exclusive units (like Sanguinary Guard for Blood Angels).

>>96538355
Should an Ork tank be absurdly practical as a gag? Like an Abrams or Leopard as a base inspiration?

>>96540759
>one of heroes is non-binary
Its already gay

>>96540821
>>96540824
that’s great to know, thanks

thats fine, but you can only use units with a single chapter keyword, ie if you take any blood angels, you can only take blood angels.
of course, your next list could be BT. that's the fun of it while keeping balance.

>>96540789
but that's not the same guy doing the size comparison pictures

So since we got so many release waves this edition, doesn't that mean we can determine what factions will get a big unit drop in 11th?

100% going to happen:
>Orks obviously as the #1 suspect for the starter box
>Drukhari super needed, especially losing so many units now
>Grey Knights
>Guard/Catachan
>Custodes will get all their new 30k plastic stuff in 40k as well
50/50 it might:
>Admech, either thralls or robots
>CSM bikes
>GSC stuff
>Necron flayer subfaction

I found Sisters easy to paint (compared to space marines, way quicker because they're smaller and more cloth which is super easy to make look nice) but the basic sisters are annoying to build because they're broken into an unnecerssary number of parts with mould lines down the middle of visible areas (like the helmets). It feels maliciously designed. The easy-build ones that came in magazines and can be pretty cheap on ebay are a much more pleasant experience.

Why is that a rebutal?
Tale of painter's comparison is not accurate, so of course you need someone else's accurate comparison to show that.

I'm not sure what the issue is.

>>96540830
>Should juryrigged monstrosities be practical?
No

>>96540844
I'm guessing we'll see a lot of new Space Marines

>>96540844
I am predicting Steel Legion returning

>>96540860
>Why is that a rebutal?
because you said tales of painter comparisons are misleading and are posting someone's else misleading comparison as proof?

>>96540844
>>Necron flayer subfaction
what leads you to believe this is something that is remotely possible to happen?

>>96540875
>someone's else misleading comparison
>misleading
You have one (1) post to explain how it's misleading, if trolling don't expect more (you)s

>>96540844
>gsc stuff
best GW can do is to release yet another character.

because the only way for the old cadian to be as tall as the new cadian here >>96540769 while being way shorter here >>96540789 is to be found in the second picture having the old cadian significantly bent forward? since there's no pose that could stretch the old cadian beyond its standing height.

>>96539917
I FUCKING HATE AGRAV

>>96539052
The Tau have personal property, they have a market where you buy and sell things.

>>96540674
Dire avengers come on 28mm now

>>96540873
Are you predicting or hoping? Because with Krieg’s pretty massive range release I really don’t see them release what is essentially Krieg with a different color scheme any time soon.
Hell IIRC Krieg was originally a color scheme variation for the Steel Legion

AND THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL ARE THE ULTRAMARINES!

And we have a new Cato incoming

>>96542172
Cato got demoted lmao. Titas mogs him hard.

>>96542155
did they race swap him to native american?

>>96542146

>>96538441
