no

How did they react to dad coming back

>>96548285
Thats it. Im switching to Ultramarines. Their honor guard don't suck dick and their primarch is still alive.

>>96548167
... because chaosfags are obsessed with being the big bad and will tear down the competition vigorously

>>96547386
You only get 1 contract bro

>>96548289
They accepted his forgiveness and became risen. Lord Cypher is really upset.

Why are Space Wolves so popular?

>>96548300

no cap?

Good afternoon gentlemen, what'd you get done this weekend?
Post models/WIPs

>>96548308
People like Vikings and they typically defend civilians which earns them points with normies

>>96548308
Memes
All the players picked up from that time in 5th when their army was an outright actual free upgrade over normal space marines

>>96548308
furries are very common

>>96548299
Incorrect. It does require jumping through some hoops to get another though.

How do the Adepta Sororitas and the Adeptus Ministorum handle the matter of pregnancy among their membership if and when such a circumstance comes to pass?

did you know that lelith hesperax popping her once per game while attached to some wyches isn't favoured to kill 5 intercessors anymore
she needs help from the other wyches to mop them up
She went from killing 7 intercessors solo to 3-4
Somehow she's the least cucked of the named characters in that codex

>>96548308
People just love wolves, they are like dogs but cooler

who will survive 11th?

>>96548275 (OP)
Calling my first “firstborn” tank done.

>>96548289
One chapter believed Azrael was doing a psyop when he contacted them about it.

>>96548300
How have they been dealing with The Lion calling off the hunt for The Fallen?

>>96547386
That detachment is so fun on paper and is a great spot for people who don't want to run SIXTY WYCHES but for fucks sake
WHY CAN'T MY ARCHON BE IN A TRANSPORT COME THE FUCK ON
WHY CAN'T I SPLIT THE HAND
WAS THIS CODEX WRITTEN BY RETARDS

>>96548343
Yeah, she benefitted massively from rerolls letting her fish for Sustained 2 and now she lost a pip of AP too. I'll bet she's still super over costed in the final points as well.

>>96548356
They've been going about their hunt as they always have since the Lion didn't call it off.

>>96548342
child gets taken and handed to the schola progenium or raised in the church.

>>96548363
It's rough but at least she's not Drazhar who got his one rule locked behind a Pain Token tax and literally has 0 synergy with the only unit he can lead

>>96548337
Ok fair enough that is a bit better. Not sure why they are taxing you for having an army rule though.

>>96548357
You're just lucky you got a codex

>>96548342
Sounds like a straight to Schola Progenium pipeline, you know, the institution that provides recruits for everything besides Space Marines and Custodes?

So basically the Necrons see the Imperium the same way that the Imperium sees the Tau (and visa versa).

>>96548346
All Firstborn Blood Angel kits get squatted with half of them being released as Primaris; all of them will be totally bereft of Blood Angel Iconography aside from an upgrade sprue.

>quarter of the tournigger base spams OP DG, CK and IK
>exactly three guys do well in tournaments as GSC & DE
>GSC & DE get nerfed into oblivion

>>96548346
Pretty much this.
Ones that aren't crossed out are gonna get updated or GW will let them exist as is (mainly the rhinos)

>>96548376
The Archon has a CP reduction ability now so that actually costs 0CP, even if he's in reserves. The downside is he can't be dead or on a boat or he can't be targeted by strats and you also can't use your CP reduction for something else. Also means your Warlord has to be an Archon and they normally want to be up front in the action while this wants you to play more conservatively.

>>96548366
They killed the Fallen that buddied up with The Lion?

>>96548285
>THE BEST CHAPTER!
I must concede. You are right. I don't know why I hung onto Iron Hands for 9 years. We get fuck all.

>>96548398
vanvets are already confirmed retard

>>96548396
GSC and DE are so expensive and complicated that both of them are played almost exclusively by faction specialists. Their winrate numbers always just through the roof because of this but they usually have very few tournament wins still because there's just not many people playing them.

>>96548393
>Blood Angel Iconography
Teardrops, abs, and angel wings? I'm sure you can make do.

>>96548346
All the Rhino Variants (except Blood Angels one) mostly because they're still used for other armies and rules for them are trivially easy to add. The DA flyers. Land raiders make it halfway through but are gonna die because they're getting a new sculpt soonish. Ven dread I'm 50/50 on. Tactical squads still sell well enough that I would be surprised if they went.

>>96548308
The lowest common denominator has taste that really is that bad.

>>96548409
I made this in 2 seconds.

>>96548347
Very nice anon, I like the light rusting on the scoop.

>>96548415
Yeah GW has been adamant about downgrading them to background marines like White Scars or Iron Hands

>>96548377
Yeah, not looking forward to having to explain the army rule to every new player that it's actually 23 different strategems on a seperate resource track.

Gravis bladeguard when?

>>96548409
"confirmed" by a youtuber with a 50:50 hit rate

>>96548445
Never, they have termies now

>>96548445
gravis are getting squatted

>>96548458
That's why they just released two brand new characters in gravis armor, right?

>>96548308
Vikings are cool even if the activists within GW are actively trying to ruin them by putting blackoids in them

>>96548414
Yeah but because of Innesfor GSC and Skari for DE, the entire player base of their respective faction gets fucked. They're pretty good players but funny how an entire faction gets designed around a single individuals and what they can do. Elephant in the room etc. etc.

>>96548458
it's phobos that is getting squatted

>>96548445
Belisarius Cawl will literally assassinate any space marine who even so much as vocalizes the idea of equipping gear not sanctioned for use within squads of their respective unit designation. A bladeguard veteran may NEVER wear gravis armor.

>>96548461
Who? There was the pair of new termi characters (Lysander and Iron Hands guy), were you thinking of them?

>>96548479
I fucking hope so. The day of the SCUNT is now

>tfw new chastity cage arrived
TIME TO PAINT

>>96548479
All Pr*maris are getting squatted.

>>96548479
Honestly? Of the MkX variants, that's the one I'd most like to see stay. It has a niche that the others don't have a duplicate for.

>>96548446
I'm not talking about fatrak retard

>>96548445
Gravis needs some expansion. My ideal would be to
>resize the rhino or make a impulsor that is just a troop carrier and let it take 12 regular infantry or 6 gravis so they have a transport option outside of a literal tank
>give heavy ints the option to take 1 autocannon instead of heavy bolter so that design doesn't get dumpstered
>add a heavy int assault
>gravis characters can attach to terminators and vice versa

>>96548458
On the contrary, new devastators are going to be in gravis armor.

>>96548517
I hope so, that'd be cool.

>>96548346
tacs, devs, vanvets, asstermies and venerable dreddy are all getting a primaris makeover.

>>96548514
a youtuber with worse than 50:50 then, compelling stuff

>>96548517
That's a good use for gravis honestly

>>96548530
>I can only think in terms of sloptubers
very telling

>>96548485
In the first wave two years ago. The apothecary and the captain.

>>96548516
better idea: scrap gravis completely and bring back devastators and assault terminators

>>96548525
Venerable redemptor would be cool.

>>96548400
>Index Archon
The vile Drukhari, leader of their own Kabal, takes to the field alongside some of the most deadly creatures to crawl from Commorragh. At times, it is a handpicked Court filled with master poisoners, freakish beasts and the most trusted Kabalites. Other times, walking in tandem with the deadly Incubi, whose blades cut down fields of Astartes like wheat. The enigmatic tactics keep even the most seasoned commanders trapped in a fog of war where their best laid plans crumble. Despite the slender frames, these groups can take down nearly anything, laughing as they spread pain throughout the ranks of their foes.

>Codex Archon

>primaris tactical squad

I would nut. I still run tactical squads because I dig the concept even though they're very bad. Also my primaris are in my pile of shame but that's neither here nor there.

>>96548342
>Adepta Sororitas
Abort the mom for dereliction of duties. Abort the baby as an accomplish to her heresies.

Depends on what position and what rules relate to said position.

>>96548494
I used to do this when i was super horny and would jack it instead of painting, id cage myself, plug myself and just get to painting

>>96548308
Big space waŕrior + historical influence is always cool.
They attract the most based and cringe of us, just like all marines.

>>96548346
I am genuinely worried about the venerable dreadnought at this point

>>96548547
Mob Boss coming in to finish the job himself is a totally fitting way for an Archon to behave

>>96548575
>the most based and cringe of us
only the cringe ones, different flavors of cringe, but cringe nonetheless, at best you can call it highly functional cringe

>>96548516
GW had split Gravis into ranged and melee variants in the last WD. I'm sure they have something in store for melee Gravis.

>>96548587
the melee variant is just the aggressors

>>96548516
Termies have never been able to go in rhinos, I think having to use expensive transports is a good weakness for heavy armor to have, so gravis not being able to use Impulsors makes sense

>>96548536
you still haven't said where it has been "confirmed"

>>96548592
I know, while ranged variant are Inceptor, Eradicators, Heavy Intercessor.
Kind a unfair.

>>96548595
I don't spoonfeed sloptuber watchers

What are GW supposed to do for a primaris tactical squad? Chuck an upgrade sprue in with the normal intercessor kit? Is the expectation all-new sculpts that look the same as the existing kits?

>>96548308
Yiff fags, Viking fags, and in lore they are one of the chapters that actually try to help the citizens of the empire. But they suffer from being way into the wolf thing, and I personally feel like they get glazed a bit much by GW.

>>96548587
Melee variant was always a thing. The hood makes it look like faux-Terminator armor, honestly you can’t convince that at one point it wasn’t supposed to be a replacement for it.

>>96548605
You and I both know you're parroting valrak.

>>96548597
inceptors are arguably way closer to the melee variant due to the more enclosed dome, higher gorget and hip plates, and they are a close quarter combat unit, so the melee appellation works too.
so your balance is restored.

>>96548612
it wasn't, it was always described as a stopgap between normal infantry and tactical dreadnought armor

>>96548608
Trvescale MkVII

>>96548616
if that helps you cope lmao

>>96548620
And where was that?

>>96548592
>Aggressors are a melee unit
>Aggressors are a Long Fang unit
>Long Fang units are not melee units
I don't like this.

>>96548620
That doesn't preclude it being a replacement for Termie armor though. They can just end up saying "welp they finally ran out except for even more priceless relics" and put them in legends.

>>96548547
There's too many words here for this to also be unfunny

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>96548608
>Is the expectation all-new sculpts that look the same as the existing kits?
Yes.
What GW will do is what they've done with the recent Space Wolves refresh.
They'll give the intercessors the few special weapons and a heavy weapon and then add armor variation into the box with varied torsos and helmets.

>>96548494

Right after Steiners counter attack

>>96548673
I posted mind yesterday and I don't want to keep spamming an unfinished model

>>96548663
And people will still run intercessors or hellblasters in their place. Game moved on but old players can't.

>>96548619
Their role are to dropped from low orbit so their armor got reinforced, and even so they still look slightly less bulky than Aggressors.
Besides, they are close support squads, not exactly melee in the truest sense.

>>96548608
Honestly if they just release the datasheet and tell you to make it with pre-existing models like the Deathwatch Kill Team that’d probably work. Though a proper one would be fun too.

>>96548389
THUGGISH MYSTIC

>>96548684
It doesn't matter what people run as long as the kit sells.
Also GW can easily fuck with the rules and make primaris tacticals into a must take unit which will boost the sales further.

There are no downsides for GW to do this.

>>96548673

>>96548686
>and even so they still look slightly less bulky than Aggressors.
Literally only by the gut plates, and they armor up the head more instead.

They drop directly onto enemy units, in game terms that's technically not melee, but narratively speaking, they kick them in the nuts and then move.

Semi-abstract Yvraine

>>96548318
Got pretty much nothing done this weekend. Really excited to start working on my latest secondhand finds once they get to me though.

Is it true that autists can tell if models are recasts or not even after painting?

>>96548658
YES dude, NO SHIT its 'coming', EVERY army still filled with 5th ed kits is going to have them all 'refreshed' away EVENTUALLY

I swear the Imperium rubs me the wrong way, they’re like the embodiment of every smug punchable elf, I could respect them a lot more if they would at least admit that they’re losing but most of the time it’s just straight up delusions of superiority. Proclaiming the nobility of raging against the dying of the light is cool, proclaiming how superior you are and how your victory is inevitable as you’re getting your ass kicked on every front is just kinda cringe.

>>96548731
I think you should kill yourself immediately redditor, personally

>>96548770
Everyone except orks, chaos and nids are losing but still act like their farts don't smell. Not just an imperium thing.

>>96548770
saying this when there's literally smug punchable elves that are losing even harder in the setting is wild

>>96548318
>>96548673
I've been painting fantasy lately and didn't want to repost again.

With all the retcons that rack 40k daily. Why have they never made individual hive minds individuals.

>>96548759
one thing I noticed about my friend's recasts are there is this jagged imperfection in the cast. I'll include an image to show what I mean.

>>96548759
So if a model is plastic and recasted in response, you can sometimes tell if the cast isn't nice, particularly if you build them poorly. Resin flashing doesn't look like anything that comes put of a gw plastic mould. There's also the issue of the double mouldline, and if you aren't careful about cleaning up your model it will be immediately obvious. Essentially as long as you're building a resin recast of a resin model, and are putting in the minimum amount of effort while building, then nobody will know. If your recaster is good you could easily make a living off buying recast en masse,building them, spraying them and then flipping them on ebay as "used". It's so prevalent at this point that I wouldn't buy anything thats used forgeworld that you can't see the resin, or doesn't come with the bag + instructions + sprue gates

>>96548806
You mean print lines?

>>96548318
Gonna basecoat the carapace and alien skin of these guys.

>>96548798
Yeah but those elves aren’t as smug as the Imperium is, they’re mostly just sad and depressed cause their lives suck. The Imperium has the worst Smug-to-Losing ratio.

>>96548819
This is worthless art. It's not cool, it's not sexy, its not funny, it's not interesting. What purpose does this serve

>>96548798

No, not print lines, it's more like the edges of parts are crumbling

>>96548836
Eldar are pretty smug. They birthed an entire chaos god with their retarded actions but then see every other race as the reason for why the universe is so fucked up without taking any accountability

>>96548318
First day back at work after my vacation so not getting much done. Gonna work on my infernus and erads tonight, then leave them half done and rush through some stealth suits I need for a tourney soon. Luckily the eggy lads paint up pretty fast.

>>96548843
marines are already struggling don't burden them with garbage mixed units again

>>96548838
Those are all subjective

>>96548843
You will have primaris tatical next edition but GW most likely will still going to doubling down on the specialist.

>>96548832
>Painting in the library
>get thirsty, open a sodie can
>literally the loudest sound ive ever heard in my life
>sounded like a gun going off
I just put my hood up and kept painting. Im sure all the people around me were giving me dirty looks im such a fucking idiot. Im still thinking about it on the bus ride home.

When's the last crusade of the edition supposed to start? LVO in two weeks?

>>96548827
>>96548850
Nta but that's usually a symptom of improper mould filling, or the mould moving/warping during initial curing

>>96548847
Nah, they just have infinite dudes and resources just like nids and orks not saying they're extra cool or anything

>>96548860
You know, for some reason I never thought about it but why DO you have to be quiet in a library? Can people not read with sound going on around them?

>>96548843
Aesthetically I agree with you, in gameplay terms unless GW radically unfucks themselves, generalist units are gonna be so ass as to be worthless

>>96548854
Okay davinci, please breakdown why exactly you think that art isn't worthless. Discussing subjective tastes is a normal part of the human experience

>>96548866
>When's the last crusade of the edition supposed to start? LVO in two weeks?
It's not going to start there, but it is likely to be shown off. I am also hanging out for this.

>>96548879
Basic respect for others maybe? Also silence helps most people focus.

Did we get the Drukhari Crusade rules leaked yet?

>>96548879
Generally it's rude to be loud in places where people are trying to focus. Could you yell in a library, sure, but you'd be interrupting everyone's reading. Because people are busy reading, a library ends up significantly quieter than anywhere else, which means a normal volume is more noticeable and more distracting.

>>96548876
They have a distinctly limited amount of dudes. There are only so many chaos marines. The less limited amount of dudes don't have armies anymore, and so don't matter because the setting is made to sell toys.

>>96548849
Happy you like him man. Trees and lizards for AoS and TKs for TOW. I probably would've jumped on HoH if I didn't already have a decent backlog desu, they look pretty damn cool even if I'm usually not too big on stunties.

>>96548911
The chaos gods can rez people and they'll never run out of daemons. They have infinite dudes. I don't like it either but they do. It makes every chaos defeat meaningless but that's just how it is.

>>96548938
What about all the named chaos characters that don't return.

>>96548879
>Can people not read with sound going on around them?
not as comfortably or efficiently, no

>>96548923
Your lizards are so clean, you really could apply to eavy metal at this point, you're on par with box art if you can paint on a deadline

>>96548957
it sucks for them

>>96548275 (OP)
>Are Primaris cool yet
Kek, never.

There was an anon on here claiming that Chaos Devastators with jump packs + autocannons were totally a normal thing in early editions, and that because of that, Suppressors aren't retarded NuTrash. I can't seem to locate autocannons on this stat sheet, however. Could someone please point it out?

Also, while heavy weapons + jump packs were *technically* a valid combination, models equipped with both wouldn't be able to use both in the same activation. Almost as if it wasn't an intended loadout. Weird huh?

>>96548938
>and they'll never run out of daemons.
they can, theoretically speaking

Does anyone actually have any idea what the next planned faction release will be?

>>96548957
They could all come back if the gods feel like it.

>>96548978
>models equipped with both wouldn't be able to use both in the same activation
so you're telling us you think suppressors would be a perfectly cool unit if they could only shoot if they didn't move in the same turn?

>>96548988
GW insider here.
The next year's worth of releases will be marines. You heard it here first.

>>96548923
Oh right I remember your trees now, don't know why I didn't connect the dots to your 40k stuff when I saw em originally. Your lizards look sick too.
I'm huge on stunties, if not obvious by my Votann and Kharadron armies already. However neither of those armies have scratched the dwarf itch like HoH have. I've been salivating waiting for that box to arrive.
I'm planning to do a scheme like picrel, though with the black and purples switched. At the moment though I'm trying out various inks and maybe flous to paint glowing flames once I get the HoH.

>>96548978
still waiting on those models btw

>>96548999
2026 April is the release. Potentially what was discussed was 11th edition when I arrived in the chat.

I got that info from a real insider, accidentally leaked. A discussion in a discord.

>>96548994
They'd stupid and not belong in the setting regardless. The claim was that there's a longstanding precedent for jump-packs with autocannons.

holy fuck why didn't any of you faggots tell me how much unironic SOVL the sisters of battle are? the miracle dice feels so good in gameplay plus the models look so good when painted even decently

>>96548988
no significant army waves until summer 2026 where we start 11th edition with more primaris marines and ork updates

from now until then there's the stuff that's been previewed and then a series of campaign books that can be accompanied by one or more new models apparently there's a wave of eldar corsairs with at least yriel, a unit with flight packs and an updated vyper, other models that are getting plastic versions in this series seem to be huron and trazyn, if not even a primarch or two
and also there's mysterious new kill team boxset to be revealed that mat contain anything from grey knights, world eaters, eldar of any kind (including exodite or dark), orks, alpha legion or something else altogether

once into 11th, grey knights are expected to get a complete overhaul, dark eldar are meant to get a relatively large wave too, and dark angels are apparently inbound for primaris ravenwing models
speaking of completely new factions or subfactions we're looking at dark mechanicus and exodites over the course of 11th

going from what's rumoured to the realm of pure speculation, I believe gw plans on relaunching deathwatch as well since they have a very high profile animation to be released next year, Astartes 2, focusing on deathwatch terminators, that would logically and inevitably generate demand for a kit of deathwatch terminators, if not an independent codex for them again.

speculating further, there's an ongoing separation of model lines across game systems that's leaving demons as kids in a divorce, and judging by how demons are getting progressively marginalised rulewise as an army or even as units in their respective chaos marine legions, I believe it's in gw's plans to remove all demon models from 40k and replace a few key unit concepts with new 40kfied kits (for example, a bloodthister but with a chainaxe, or demonettes with sonic weapons, or a great unclean on mechanical legs)

Airbrush, drybrush

>>96548999
Of course. Why didn't I see it? The obvious answer. Make the starter box Space Marines versus... Space Marines!
It's brilliant. It'll sell a billion copies. Lion versus Gulliman for extra plot baiting and family drama!

>>96548318
Just painting my Techmarine. It's really fun.

>>96548346
everything, always cuts, never new models.

I beyond giving a fuck at this time, im starting a daemon army even if we arent getting updates.

>>96549094
Take it to /news/

My god emperor can't be this cute :3

>>96549048
>>96549078

Do Iron Hands have any named dreadnoughts in the lore? I thought that was a big thing for them.

>>96548964
Very much appreciated anon but I'm fairly sure my current job pays better than GW would lol. Besides I actually have fairly shaky hands so I paint rather slowly, I don't think I could make deadlines.
>>96549002
Yeah I kinda figured you like dwarves from your armies, I like your KOs too. That scheme is fantastic. purple is kino when executed well. I'm sure yours will be great too. These guys are honestly the first stunties I liked enough to consider starting an army. I couldn't understand why there was so much shitflinging after the reveal, those are some amazing sculpts.

Why do 40k players bother playing a *wargame* when they hate normal infantry (the intended core of the game)?

Seems like all they want are implausible "armies" made of vehicles/monsters and some superhero characters. Plus maybe some ultra-extra-heavy armor troops.

>>96548608
They'll chuck in an upgrade sprue but take the second half of marines out and make you buy two boxes $60 each for a squad of 10

Aliens, and frankly most humans, must be completely at a loss about the Night Lords' choice of motif. They dress up as bats, but most of the galaxy likely has no earthly idea what a bat is.

>>96548285
crazy how just ultramarines can get more minis in one week than my faction in 3 editions
so much for SM2 boosting their popularity...

>>96549109
How can people show their faces with grey models. Simply atrocious..

>>96549115
Sometimes I play with half painted or sometimes headless models to try out things as I'm building and painting the army but grey is just atrocious.

>>96549114
cry more, nerd

>>96549115
To be fair, those would appear to be his opponent's.

>>96549109
play a historical war game if you want to be nameless mooks faggot. Its called WARhammer so of course everyone wants to play with some unique or faction specific models

>>96549113
Humans populate the worlds they conquer among other things with the ancient animals of earth to come with.

Bats keep pests at bay and seed fruit tree seeds with their short tracts and inability to digest fruit seeds. They populate worlds with fruit and take down pests that lay their young on trees. They do more than squirrels to forest a planet.

>>96549109
Real talk, how do you not get bored of reposting the same stale bait every day? I really can't imagine a mentally stable person doing this

>>96549109
>Fulgrim can now fly over terrain 4” or less

>>96549108
Didn't understand that either. I 100% understood the votann hate because they took squats in a totally different direction but HoH seem to be really faithful to the old models, especially when you look at the Chorf blood bowl teams for updated "real" chorfs.

>>96549109
You think in 40k if people had a choice between walking, a jet pack or a bike they would walk?

>>96549105
Iron Father Tubriik Ares is a dreadnought and a major character in the novel The Eye of Medusa. He ends up dying.

>>96549078
its how GW want to do it, this new HQ is from a different clan.

personally i just hope we get our chapter master one day, picrel

>>96549127
i will

>>96549113
they actually dress as khraves, the galaxy has had plenty of experience with them

>>96549114
the mutalith doesn't count, it was borrowed from fantasy

Prove (You) aren't a nomodel shitposter by posting a model you're the most proud of painting. Reposts allowed. I want to see your best modelchads.

>>96549130
>it's called warhammer
War is about armies. 3 Tanks plus Batman and Captain America isn't an army. Some people somehow think that's TOTALLY KEWL to play as, but *nobody* wants to play against that.

This is why army composition requirements are necessary- players are savages who can't be trusted to make 100% of their own decisions.

also,
>character-hammer faggot cannot into your dudes

>>96549105
I can think of two or three from HH. The old Iron Hands novel by Green also has some. And there's Furnous from the Raukaan supp.

>>96549139
>there are no trade-offs to bikes or jet packs
>armored fighting vehicles were invented in WW2, therefore fighting on foot became obsolete

>>96549130
>infantry aren't important in le WAR
>infantry can't be unique or factions specific
Naw, that other anon is right. 40k shouldn't be World of Tanks in space.

>>96549132
Where's the error?

>>96549198
You didn't answer the question

>>96549091
>>96549095
Good ones anons, gonna add them to the list
God bless these chinks

How long is the line to receive facesitting from Louise Sugden while she paints?

>>96549214
You might not like to hear it,
you might call it shitposting,
but you can't dispute it.

Perhaps you enjoy your "army" of Wonder Woman + 2 aircraft and a tank, but you hate playing against it. If you're facing Orks, you wanna see lots of Boyz. Marines? Tac squads. Necrons? Basic Necron Warriors. But you never get that, do you, because your opponent is pulling the same meme shit as yourself.

40k doesn't even have good rules for large vehicles. (*hit points*?? lmao)

>>96549259
You still haven't answered the question.

Is there an alternate ruleset, maintained or ancient that makes the game about base building and list building mid combat, like an RTS? Something for VTT

>>96549247
not that long
but there's the extra requirement of needing a fully painted army that matches or surpasses her own paintjobs while having no backlog.

>>96549266
It's fun. Unlike the games you play, which bear no resemblance to what battles in the Warhammer 40,000 universe would look like.

Remember this when you inevitably get burned out.

>>96549270
no
because it's a terrible idea, people don't have enough units or themed terrain and don't want to be expected to have or brought along to a game a way larger collection than what they would on average have.

>>96549144
>Iron Father Tubriik Ares
>Stronos looked up, eyes protectively filling up with mucranoid tears, to see a muddle of red approaching from the line of black Clan Garrsak tanks like a mirage. Ares towered above like a monolith to all that was brutal, four metres tall, power built into every etched facet of his armoured frame. The sacred schemata worked into his warplate appeared to pulse as the unrelenting output of his assault cannon lit them with red fire. To see him was to see the Omnissiah’s wrath incarnate, an avatar that men had raised up, a god of war that time had thought lost and now returned to them with a vengeance.

>Some gods were like Iron Hands. They just could not die.

>>96549096
>Lion versus Gulliman for extra plot baiting and family drama!
They're clearly setting up the Lion being declared traitor for all the traitor stuff the dark angels are always doing.

GW said that they'd release a few chapter-specific characters to help catch up the non-Ultramarine chapter.
Between the announcement and all of said models being released, GW announced 4 new Ultramarine models.

>>96549312
Don’t forget the rumored end of edition Guilliman!

>>96549303
He should have some bread in his mouth, would really complete the picture

>>96549162
Uhh okay, only because you allowed reposts. Right now it's definitely this guy. I'm very happy with the colors, I didn't cut any corners and I really, really like this sculpt.

>>96549312
>GW said that they'd release a few chapter-specific characters to help catch up the non-Ultramarine chapter
I don't remember this having been stated

>>96549046
How many knights have you blown?

>>96549095
>>96549217
Wait, dual action sounds too good to be true for this cheap surely its a weird translation or something, or worth getting?

>>96549293
I would do this on a virtual tabletop. It would be a fun alternate way to play the game. It would probably take as long as 2 and a half normal games.. Buying and counter buying mid match would be a fun back and forth and would encourage play from less popular specialist units.

>>96548713
samefag compliments for this model less

>>96549162
Here is my model sir. Very nice paint work! Please do not attention lint and cat hair sir.

>>96549150
this is why prospero burned

>>96549162
Gotchu bro

>>96549335
God you make me wanna buy a lord of change so badly. but i have too many armies I have to paint first but thousand sons are so cool, fuck,.

>>96549312
hell remember when this was supposed to be year of chaos?
EC got to be an army and thats good
but Daemons are getting squated
and the other deity legions only got 1 thing none of them wanted

even with EC getting an army I can't imagine anyone sane feeling confident in buying them knowing they won't be getting shit

>>96549353
>I would do this on a virtual tabletop
Just play dawn of war, man.

>>96549353
I'm not following how this works. Can you expand on it?
As other anon said, this just sounds like Dawn of War...

>>96549187
>armored fighting vehicles were invented in WW2
Hahahahahahahah

>>96549430
Has this kid ever seen a battering ram before? Absolute joke of a mind.

>>96548294
Which always seems ridiculous because they're worse at being evil than dark eldar, worse at being monsters than tyranids, and worse at morally opposing the Imperium than the Tau, and at the same time they're defined by a bunch of named characters whose origins all trace back to a huge failure.

>>96549430
1, obviously. Typo.

So with all the 30k vehicles kits mogging 40k ones, when are they going to do a primaris land raider?

>>96549405
And the army locked a lot of long term players out of playing because they carried almost nothing over from CSM compared to other God Legions.

>>96549373
you still haven't posted your models in response to this guy blowing you the fuck out :^)

>>96548318
Made this yesterday and got it painted up today

>>96549396
You shouldn’t samefag so much.

>>96549451
not soon, chaos is holding marines down on that front

>>96549454
>this guy
Drill your barrels and clean your home, it's filthy.

>>96549396
I'd actually be really interested to see LoC done in your style anon.

>>96549373
I can't imagine seething over a modelchad for this long because you just couldn't post your own models but here you are 3 days later still pissing and shitting over getting BTFO'd like this

>>96549472
>everyone I don't like is the same person
>still can't post models
just take the l bro, you're only making a clown of yourself

Wow, what a sequence of posts from users who are totally different people!

>>96549495
His ego was so deeply cut, the fact that he is still posting this photo begging for redemption is peak limp dick behavior

>>96549468
I don't even play marines but I'd buy a banebane sized land raider in a heartbeat

>>96549510
>everyone I don't like is the same person
keep seething nomodels lmao

First attempt doing a proper glow effect now that I've got some inks to play with. Not sure I've got it down (and part of the green was accidentally wiped off on a corner of the coils) but I think it's a decent fire try. My goal is to do green fire effects but I had some old admech models that I'm gonna be offloading soon to use as practice so I went with a plasma-ish first.
What do you guys think?

>>96549162
Proud is a strong word but I think my riptide turned out the best of any models I’ve done in the last few months.

I have a Gravis Calgar NoS. Was planning on using him as a chaptermaster kitbash.
Should I hold off and sell once its OOP value rises? Will anyone (assumed zoomers) have nostalgia for it?

>>96549464
I wish I was ksons anon bro his stuff's amazing.

>>96549479
Id definitely try to go all whacky with warp colors and trying to make gradients of willd tzeentchian colors. Doesnt mean I'd succeed but I'd definitely give it an honest shot.

>>96549523
You’ll have to play the long game and wait 20 years for its value to go up.

>>96549407
Then he gets ran over by a baneblade.

>>96549523
no, there's no resale value to marines

>>96548852
>>96549522
You’re so endlessly desperate for validation. Holy shit. Just take a break for a bit.

>>96549166
>War is about armies
And what does an army does in it's organization? It DIVIDES itself into difrent sub-organizations to fight on diferent battles in a war, usually composing itself of diferent elements, like a TANK division.
Also
>le /yourdudes/
You'll get over that phase.

>>96549570
fuck off, archivefag

>>96549162
This big dude

>>96549162
Probably Vashtorr out of all my 40k stuff and Sigismund overall

>>96549519
This is definitely a 3rd participant; not just the original two. A whole crowd, who for certain aren't the same user desperately samefagging multiple posts as fast as he can.

>>96549584
He looks regular sized.

>>96549600
for you

>>96549575
Tank divisions operate as a combined-arms force, and include infantry.

>>96549452
believe it or not they're actually taking away options from the other deity legions too
for some reason 1kS and DG can't even use regular cultists anymore. who cares if it "makes more sense" to use the tzaangors and poxwalkers, i want to design an army that has human cultists
the deity legions don't even have access to all their daemons when before they were able to ally them all.

>>96549600
Not compared to his older brother

>>96549162
Big steppy

>>96549622
Those are the same size though

>>96549521
better than my attempt today, which I will not be posting.

>>96549622
What, what is the smol guy from? Space Hulk?
Can you do a family shot with a marine in there too?

>>96549575
>Anon actually thinks the existence of tank only sub-divisions means tanks never are around infantry.
Am I going to have to draw a chart on how tanks work, how is this the second time I have seen this misconception.

>>96549521
I think it looks pretty good anon, good job. The green you used for the actual glow on the weapon looks good. If I wanted to improve this I'd try to blend the white a little bit, the transitions is too harsh and definitely hurts the effect.

>>96549643
He's an old 3rd ed metal terminator

>>96549455
Is that for the kitbash collage? Looks sick

>>96549570
go back to seething about those dusty black legion models it's funnier

>>96549656
Yeah, that's basically what my 40k buddies said, too. I'll try mixing inks a bit next time to help the transitions. I think plasma wasn't the best thing to try out first since my end goal is doing green flames where I can do much better transitions than I could inside the tiny coils of a plasma gun.
But I guess this was just to see that I could do a glow effect with the ink starter set I bought, so I'm calling it a win. Thanks for the advice anon. I'll be back with another attempt as soon as I find another old model to try it out on.

>>96549407
Cute

>>96549622
Reminds me of this little guy a friend printed for my custodes as a joke

>>96549162
Not the best paintjob out of all my minis but I'm mostly proud of this one since I really enjoyed the kitbash

>>96549575
>he doesn't /yourdudes/
Pic related. It's Anon.

>>96549715
Awesome

>>96549455
Which brass paint did you use anon? I need to get something that looks more vintage than brassy brass Vallejo

why are custodes an army that is mostly champions but space wolves act more like a real army when there are much less wolves than custodes

>>96549715
He looks like he's trying to use the force.

>>96549682
Thank you! Yeah it is, I had a lot of fun with him
>>96549728
I'm sorry to tell you it's the old version of brassy brass, covered in agrax and then dirty down verdigris over that.

>>96549575
>hating on /yourdudes/
You're not worth thinking about.

>>96549521
I dislike OPM because everyone goes overboard but you have the subtly down pat. Perfect judgement of scope. Like the other anon said just work on blending.

>>96548285
>meanwhile blood angels got this and "just paint your jump pack fags black, bro"
I am still mad

>>96549715
This is great, good use of the sicarian pieces

>>96549715
Neat

>>96549703
You could also just use a heavily thinned 1:1 mix of your white and yellow to slowly smooth it out.

>>96549774
Get fucked, mutant.

>>96548318
I finished the basecoating on this guy. I also finally decided on what the color scheme for my dudes will be. I only just now noticed his claw broke.
