>Thread Question
What has been your favorite 10th edition model release?

Blood Angels

>TQ
Don't have one.
Unless the autogun sergeants count.

Also thanks for restoring the secret santa link.

>>96572200 (OP)
thanks but im sticking with 2e

i think a lot of these kill team boxes are neat but i'm worried they'll eventually lose their rules for 40k and get legend'd
like why even risk it

So how do you make a Tau cadre 'your dudes'? They feel more standardized.

>>96572200 (OP)
>TQ
All the Krieg plastic stuff has been great. Sure it's not as good as the old Forge World stuff, but by golly do the models look fine in their own way.

>>96572219
no problem mate

>>96572225
They've been repackaging Kill Teams into 40K boxes for a while now, Kommandos and Novitiates for example got a refresh like a month ago.

>>96572229
You start by making custom markings, and custom color schemes.
If I was into T'au I'd cut up Tyranid parts and attach them to the battlesuits like gruesome trophies.

Saw your post in the other thread. I made it and didn't notice that this one was made so when I did I deleted it. But the good news is that the secret santa link is repaired.

>>96572244
yeah but those were units before they got the kill team boxes
i'm worried about stuff like navy breachers, tempestus aquilons, kroot farstalkers, those chaos beastmen guys, etc units that have new profiles

>>96572231
>>96572242
posting my first krigboi

Finished the third damned legionary.
Post your models lads.

What the fuck?
This isnt even aussie bucks this is burger bucks.
10 man marine squads cost $18 less

I take it the new codexes for the Grey Knights, Black Templars, and the Leagues are currently being scanned? Or have they already been liberated? I keep checking the M3G4, but I’m not seeing them there. Also, can someone kindly please upload a copy of the Wolves codex that isn’t shit for quality? The photo compilation is hard to read.

Sorry if it seems like I’m being a grubby little gimmedat asking to be spoon fed.

>>96572262
>Breachers
Maybe if they actually made Imperial Agents a real army
>Aquilons
They're a Guard foot soldier unit, of the ones you listed they have the best chance of surviving.
>Farstalkers
They were released around the same time as the Kroot refresh. I think they have a chance.
>Chaos Beastmen
Yeah considering what they did to Beastmen in AoS I think these guys are on the chopping block for sure.

>>96572231
What I don't get is why the Command Squad has a Commissar instead of a Marshall or some other Officer Character.

>>96572286
at least you can fucking buy them
I'm forever waiting for raveners

>>96572229
Same way you make any army /yourguys/.

>>96572200 (OP)
>What has been your favorite 10th edition model release?
Surprisingly, it's the people who wear coats over their space suits like they're Gantz people. Space cowboy Dwarfs and vaguely alike Rangers from WHFB

I plan eventually to have a redemptor dread named Lucius Vorenus and a brutalis dread named Titus Pullo.

>>96572292
it just seems doubtful that they'd support kasrkin, scions, and aquilons when they're all so very similar
then again them making rough riders and death riders two different units makes no sense to me

>>96572302
rip

>TQ
Lhykhis is a very cool model. One of the very few instances where a tactical rock actually enhances the model, the way it's splitting apart from the energy of the flickerjump.

>>96572278
>Post your models lads.
I plan to paint strip the scylla light tank. Mostly because I want a different shade of grey for the scout sentinel proxy tanks.

>>96572332
Someone autistic will eventually reply to this complaining about her carrying around the same rock everywhere she goes like it's a joke we all haven't heard before

>>96572347
If I wasn't on my phone at work I'd shop that one IW image to have them laughing about rocks instead of stripes

>>96572347
They at least stay consistent with what the rocks look like for all the elf models.

>>96572295
>Marshall or some other Officer Character.
Gotta save that for the 11th edition pity character

>>96572278
wish the rules for this little speeder werent total trash because it's just so cute

>>96572332
I'm a necron player, but Lhykhis made me buy warp spiders and an eldar combat patrol for war in heaven skirmishes

>>96572376
How big is this thing, I always thought they were land raider sized

>>96572286
Wait these guys are only $65. Whats the difference?

>>96572391
It's a great model. My friend painted one up a couple months ago.

>>96572407
mandrakes are more sought out because they're part of Deldar so they can afford to price them higher
Also they're newer.

>>96572407
About 15$.

>>96572409
>green necrons green dice
>red eldar red dice
S0VL

>>96572400
It's smaller than a land raider but bigger than a rhino. I'll take a better photo of it for scale when I get home

Why does no one play 3k point games in 10th?

>>96572445
Oh damn it's way small

>>96572459

Nta but you keep saying this as though you don't have to still stare at every reply to every post that you hide because scrolling past it is too much for you

>>96572501
Don't you understand, if they decide that they don't like everyone else due to their opinions and interests then they can use the excuse that nobody is based at their lgs and that's why they have no models or games, it's a perfect crime!

After a lot of thinking I don't want them to look too ornate with gold.
I'm currently not sure if I should use Pro Acryl's Dark Silver to make the vox caster backpacks a 'near metallic black' or to make them mostly red with some gunmetal metallic parts.
I'm open to genuine suggestions, please.

>>96572567
He's just spamming for attention.

>>96572576
Why does he need an extension to hide things on 4chan then

Amazing how mad being told your post is getting hidden makes some of you lmao

Any lorefriends here willing to answer a question?

>>96572578
I suggest you stop making up fucking problems for yourself you bitch. Paint them fucking silver and wash them fucking nuln. Because literally anything else is going to lead to you bouncing your ass on your own thumb for weeks

Do you guys like to free hand things?

>>96572588
Why waste time asking that? Just post the question.

>>96572584

@96572604

>>96572609
Now type that without crying this time

>>96572606
>wasted three posts now
>still didn't ask the question
Your question is probably retarded, just like you, so no, you can't ask it. Fuck off.

>>96572606
The thread is better when there aren't lore discussions but by all means just ask instead of just claiming you had a question over and over

>>96572604
>>96572608
Can you two retards just fuck already

>>96572615
Type your cool joke
You wont

>>96572578
Go with the mostly red vox caster. It will visually pop off the silver armor better.
And while >>96572591 is a bit angry he has every right to be angry. You finishing your army is like the half life three of this general or at least one of them. We all want to see that Roman army.

Okay so. I had a discussion with a Taufag, and he went on to claim that the only problem with the Tau society are the Ethereals, without them, the Tau could genuinely coexist with other species.

Since he is not willing to listen to the sensible argument of "if it's an alien, it should be genocided", I am trying to bring up an argument that, no, they couldn't because even if they could somehow magically completely give up the bugman mentality, they would be still inherently too alien for us.
One of the things I will point out is that for example, their "happy" facial expression is not smiling, but instead wrinkling their "nose" which is basically how we express disgust.

My question is, does anyone know similar canon behavioral differences?

>>96572641
Read up on the enclaves.

>>96572626
I was legitimately excited to see him do this project. I don't give a shit anymore. He's sucked away every tiny ounce of parasocial excitement I had for him to finish his guys. And while I don't think he should care about modeling for our sake I think he really needs to understand why some of us are frustrated. Fuck him man, his idea was cool, why couldn't someone who isn't a lazy fuck have gotten it. To me he's just that guy who comes back every 8-12 weeks and asks how he should basecoat something, dominatefag is dead

>>96572592
One of my favorite things actually. I try to freehand as many things as I can on my models.
My issue sometimes is Im not particularly creative when it comes to things like symbols or other creative decorations.
Its basically just
>uhhh lightning yeah lets do some more lightning

Too Word Bearer for Death Guard? I've been tooling around with Impcat to truss up some paint schemes before I sit down this weekend and paint.

I really like this scheme but after I got done I realized I basically just made Word Bearers colors with some real on the side and now I'm second guessing myself.

I still REALLY like these colors but I'm not sure if I want to put them in Death Guard.

>>96572703
Dew it

>>96572695
>they're both saltier than the dead see
No I can't see them they're in their own room on the other side of the computer

>>96572641
>Okay so. I had a discussion with a Taufag, and he went on to claim that the only problem with the Tau society are the Ethereals, without them, the Tau could genuinely coexist with other species.

Ethereals are one of the main reasons why the T'au welcomed aliens in the first place.
Both Sept Tau and Enclaves Tau welcome alien races. The Tau after thousands of years are culturally accepting of aliens.
The Ethereal main purpose to to guide the T'au to their asension as the great power in the galaxy and also protect them from Chaos.
While the T'au of modern times can live in harmony without the Ethereals, as evidenced by the Enclaves, they would be vulnerable to Chaos. After all, the Farsight rebellion was engineered directly by the Chaos Gods.

>One of the things I will point out is that for example, their "happy" facial expression is not smiling, but instead wrinkling their "nose" which is basically how we express disgust.
Why are you pointing out something wrong?
The T'au lived with humans so long that they adopted their terminology and social customs

Here is an example:
>"The grubby earth caste supervisor’s thin lips curled into a smile– a human expression, an element of that species’ facio-gestural language that had deviously infiltrated t’au gestural. Though the Empire warred with the Imperium, many humans had prospered– some might say festered– across the Empire at large. In these minor ways, their customs and quirks had warped t’au culture."

-Elemental Council

>>96572703
As long as you're excited to paint it then it's a good scheme

>>96572332
I dislike "energy effects" sculpted onto models, and overall would prefer game models do not have scenic bases. With that said, I respect your opinion on the matter, Anon.

>>96572703
What is this tool? This seems amazing to play around with for an indecisive retard (Me) to come up with colorschemes on.

>>96572671
That is the thing. He isn't a friend, just a friend of a friend, we are just in the same group and he spams the groupchat with "Tau goodguys" shit, and spergs out for hours over the slightest criticism.

>>96572725
Just ask him if he knows what edition GW removed Tau's noses

>>96572332
>best models in the eldar range by a country mile are her and shadow spectres

>>96572724
Impcat. The files for each miniature are community-made and easily googlable.

>>96572729
I don't think he is that much of a retard, but I will try. It will probably just make him mad for "insulting his intelligence". He has a 59GB folder labelled "Tau did nothing Wrong".

>>96572750
What's wrong with that? It's known that the T'au are the only playable race that have not committed any acts of genocide against reasonable races.
That alone makes them the good guys.

>>96572725
looks like his opinion is correct

>>96572697
>>96572659
>>96572626
On a related note, you guys every gotten fuckin depressed and then you had no energy for hobbying, and when you got a bit better reflecting on your dumbass depressed season and lack of getting anything done, including hobbying, made you kinda fuckin depressed again?

>>96572739
>>96572724

This anon got it, I know at one point /wip/ had the files

>>96572750
But anon, tau did have noses back in 3rd.

>>96572755
>>96572756
Nta but they sterilize humans and the 4th genocided all non-Tau species.

>>96572757
Yeah. But you have to dig yourself out of it by hobbying and pushing through. The same way you'd get through any other depression hole. You make new memories, new things to be excited about.

>>96572768
It can't be true since human populations are increasing in the T'au Empire.
And the 4th sphere were stopped. They failed to commit any acts of genocide.

What's a good bit for a PDA or Dataslate? A clipboard would work too.

>>96572767
I didn't know Eugene Levy was part of the fire caste

>>96572768
>Nta but they sterilize humans
only in a video game ending that isn't even canon within that video game's continuity

>>96572783
>he only instance of 4th sphere actually showing aggression towards non-tau was during the fifth sphere

IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

>>96572777
And the 4th sphere were stopped. They failed to commit any acts of genocide.

AND THEY WERE SOPPED WHEN IT HAPPENED!

Do taufags really?

>>96572768
>Nta but they sterilize humans
That's only mentioned in the tau ending of dark crusade
>the 4th genocided all non-Tau species.
The 4th sphere expansion was the one that had the event horizon experience and the demons started killing most of their auxiliaries, while their auxiliaries also ended manifesting a warp entity of the greater good, which horrified the tau. This ended up causing a shit ton of mistrust with 4th sphere vets in their auxiliaries which led to them using their auxiliaries in high casualty missions.

>>96572795
the other guy is wrong, the codices that go into the vague events of the 4th sphere never decisively state what happened, only that there were rumors of tau panicking over the sudden incursion of daemons because of the great rift and executing their auxiliaries thinking they were causing it

>>96572459
main problem is boards are just too tiny to handle the point sizes

Does anyone have the tau codex's on hand? I wanna read their lore to properly judge them before I join in on this race.

>>96572793
Oh okay yeah lmao, I don't know why that didn't click. I think gsc has a lot of little tablets and clipboards

>>96572757
>>96572770
You think maybe the dominatefag is painting right now? Surely he would have responded to these messages right now trying to defend himself. At least I hope that is the case.

>hear Tau is communist
>buy the codex, do some reading
>they have a caste system and trade guilds working inside the government
These guys aren't communist at all, they're fucking fascist

>>96572805
Prove it. Paint a model next month. Completely. Give yourself the chance to feel accomplishment. Don't start on a big project just do something small in its entirety, in a way that you're excited to do it in the moment. No planning. No setting it down to think about it. Crush it. Move to the next thing. Crush it. Repeat.

Thankfully not, Indians is a top down caste system, while tau is a cohesive caste system.
The closest indian faction we have are death guard

Or we could post thicc imperial mommies instead

>>96572795
What? The Daemons killed their alien allies. All of them.
The fourth sphere never got its genocidal ambitions off the ground. They were quickly discovered and arrested

>>96572834
>posts a dark eldar
fuck off retard

>>96572798
No...that's not what happened. The experiences of the fourth sphere were described in War of Secrets.
The alien allies all died.

The Fourth Sphere, while serving under the 5th tried to pull some genocidal shit but were stopped.

Best you can get is to play Scions and take an Inquisitor with Retinue allies for a similar army nowadays.

Why don't you go back to Twitter? We don't need cultural enrichment here.

>>96573063
You're right. I think it is harder to get the fundamentals of drawing, but easier to learn to paint minis. So I'll try and have both.

>>96573068
I think they have some overlap, your use of colour and shadows and the like.

Speaking about Sisters of Battle. Thanks to BL we now know that the Imperium is okay with transgenderism.
Does that mean that transgender sisters are possible? I am legit curious.

Not gonna lie, I think some "sanctioned bigotry" should be permitted to sell the whole grimdark schtick of 40k. Like even with mankind backed against a corner, old bigoted habits die hard. That kind of thing.
Really it should depend on the location's culture in the galaxy on a case by case basis.

at some point I should use the Arius skull inside the Cadian Gate regiment symbol decals I had made.

>>96573095
I'd post a screenshot showing that there is no samefaggery, but you'd just say it is an HTML edit so I'm not gonna bother.

All I'm saying is that given how man regresses being one of the themes of 40k, the groundwork has already been done for old bigotries to resurface. Though I don't think GW would go there for obvious reasons. But they would fit in the universe of 40k.

>>96572225
Its the opposite. They've been getting removed from kill team and repacked as 40k boxes

Man the Sallies detachment really wants you to use He'stan.
I wish there were more options for Torrent weapons.

>>96572318

GW realized special ops guardsmen sell well and decided to make more than one box.

What's the functional difference between whatever the old inquisitiinquisition. and a stormtrooper heavy guard army led by an inquisitor.

>>96573123
half the detachment rule for raven guard is the new guy using a strat for 0 CP once per battle, they're all like that. You still have the old firestorm one that's supposed to be slightly different and is just about torrent weapons

Fuckin retarded cleaners reached onto my desk (when they only do floors) knocked over my WIP lord and THEN in absolute degeneracy must have vacuumed up the arm bit cause I cant find it anywhere. Anyone know some recasters who do necron bits or does anyone have this bit and not need it?

>>96573139
Oh, sorry, I meant units wise.
There's aggressors, infernus (still not multi part so fuck you if you want to use your chapter upgrade shoulders) and the redeemer, not much else.

>>96573144
The specific bit is numbed 9 in the instructions for "ankra the colossus". If anyone has an stl id be fine printing the bit as well

>>96573150
cute. tau really are the good guys of the galaxy.

The detachment rule working philosophy needs to be completely reworked next edition. So may codex’s are filled with absolute duds (custodes, tau, WE etc) with no decent rules or flavour. So many of them are identical especially in monogod legions
>your transport detachment

It might be difficult to source but the black templar flamer arms can use custom shoulder pads

>>96572225
All the KT boxes are usually excuses to make a fancier squad for the army. The Legionary KT became the Legionary squad, the Kommando KT became the Kommando unit, the Hand of the Archon became Kabalites, etcetera. They're very safe to buy.

Ur a fuckin winner

Check my sanity. This works in overwatch right?

I wish auxiliary cadre allowed you to ally in other sentient xenos kinda like IA are for imperium, imagine taking some yaegirs, iron kin and buncha eldar corsairs as allies, alas it'd need like 1-2 extra xeno armies that have mercenary tendencies without absolutely fucking over their employer 2s after the deal is complete

Anyone have a copy of Final Deployment? I want to read it, but I'm a poorfag.

40k xenos aren't meant to be aliens in the first place. They are just fantasy races in space.
40k first and foremost is for all intents and purposes Warhammer Fantasy but in space, the scifi part comes after.

>>96573261
I like nids. They are the perfect swarm enemy NPC faction. I hope they never receive the necron treatment.

I've been binge watching Night Shift videos so I'm pretty excited to paint this Predator I ordered. It probably won't look very good but I still am excited to do it.

>>96573261
Xenos are just written a different way than Imperium armies. They're high concept with a baseline explanation in the lore and then minimal explanation in the lore. Where as the Imperium (and especially Space Marines) are exhaustively detailed and documented with literally hundreds of examples of factions within them. So you can find a pre blended flavor for basically anything and have lore to fall back on to define your dudes while Xenos have three or four similar options with scant lore and only the implication that other flavors could exist that rely on OC and imagination to define and explain to your opponents. If someone comes to the table and tells me they are playing Savlar chem-dogs or Mentors or Metallica or something then I can instantly have a narrative in my mind of who these dudes are and how they could come into conflict with my Army. But when you put down a Xenos Army on the other side of the board even if you are playing Twisted Helix or Farsight Enclave or Altansar, then I barely know what they want let alone why they would be here fighting my dudes. There's no lore basis for most of it and the factions are poorly defined.And its even worse with the OC factions because now I have no idea what the hell their deal is at all. Obviously this can be overcome by talking to your opponent about their faction and why they would be here and working together to spin a narrative, but that's a level of investment. most players just do not have in the game anymore.

Flak armor guard are still the standard, Krieg are just popular.

I did intend to make it somewhat crystalline in appearance. My headcanon for this was that it's their souls being catalyzed via some sort of Chaos taint. The blades are made out of this stuff after being "processed" from less-than-willing recipients.

At least that's what I came up with as to why it's blue and crystal-looking. Chaos Shenanigans.

The fact that they got the Nuerotyrant AND the Psychophage in one edition is crazy. Both are great sculpts.

Warhammer Fantasy races were a billion ways better than Xenos.

This edition had a lot of great model releases:
- All of Dark Angels look great. My favorites are Inner Circle Companions
- Lady Mallys is very much likeable
- Kroots were also cool
- I like new Votann scout transport
- Emperor's Children are good in a sense that they have repulsive appearance, which i guess fits them perfectly. I don't like the look of their design, but i like the idea behind it, designer is really talented.
- SoB sacrescants (well, technically, they'll be next year)
- New Space Marines characters are all cool, even Ultramarines.
- New Death Watch is above expectations
- Blood Angels Apothecary and Cap, they're cool
- Black Templars as always are on top with their designs
- Eldars - one of the best model updates not only in this edition, but overall


Boring updates:
- DG: new character with anime sword
- Necrons: Character in cyber cloak and new team of cryptech with small robots
- Imperial Guard (Horse Riders? Who the fuck wants horse riders in 40k? It's not AoS)
- Blood Angels flying units
- Space Wolves. Cool Heads, but stupid pelts and wolves.
- Knights (Chaos Knight with metal tentacles was in previous edition, right?)
- Band of Homeless People for SoB
- AdMech's servitors
- Thousand Sons robots. Just normal.


Stupid updates:
- AdMech's Stilts
- GSC Brainiac


Can't remember what was new:
- Custodes
- CSM
- Orks


I can't evaluate Tyranids as they all are the same to me, i'd like even to collect that army, but i just can't distinguish their units.

I think that's all updates for 40k this year?

59 new marine kits to 104 non-marine kits
Marines are 36% of all 40k releases this edition while being 7 out of 28 factions (25% of armies). Not quite as extreme of an imbalance as you might be led to believe based on all the whinging but it is a pretty big skew.

>>96573393
>New Death Watch is above expectations
Were your expectations down with hades or something

>>96573398
NTA but personally I thought they would get nothing and be binned next edition. They are the Harlequins of Space Marines.

>>96572592
Yesterday i tried to paint Skull on pauldrons for my Relictors chapter. I failed 10 times in a row.
So now i'm thinking to invent new name for my dudes, something like "Twisted Skulls" or "Scary Faces" lol

Surely, i'll keep drawing assymetrical disproportional freehand skulls on their pauldrons, that's so much fun.

I don't actually own enemy but it gave me an excuse kitbash my own cadian combat engineers.

>>96573420
I think its nice and if anything a welcome change of pace, but people treat 40k way to seriously so they dont like it when warhammer tries to embrace its sillier side.

Then we get things like phobos marines.

>>96573447
[you tried]

>>96572278
looking good man

Sell me on Iron Warriors not just in terms of gameplay but their role in the lore as well.
I have a few ongoing Marines projects with two of them being a Traitor army for 30k and a CSM army for 40k. Currently, I'm leaning towards WB for 30k and IW for 40k but I start to think that I should swap them perhaps.
>inb4 just build one army and use it for both games
I have a big collection of pre-8th edition CSM minis and I really want to give them some love but they simply don't fit 30k imo so I want to run two separate projects. They can share Daemons at least.

>>96572703
you could just make them a nurglite word bearers splinter band

>>96573367
Nothing to spin here. All Xeno players are abnormal humans like trannies

>>96573453
CSM in general kinda suck and I think fellhammer host or whatever its called ( the Iron warrior detachment) is weaksauce and has less than depth than a prolapsed bunghole.
Honestly demon engine suck (imo) and i'd still just collect the firstborn vehicles and then realize that in 11th they're being replaced with something else.

That's unfortunate. I initially wanted to build a World Eaters army but their first codex literally butchered them heh and after seeing the EC disaster I want to stick with one of the undivided Legions that will never get their own book so I won't lose all the generic CSM codex options in the future. I'm not a fast painter and honestly I don't like painting much so IW seem to fit my needs.

Understandable. Im currently trying to sell my world eaters now because I realized I dont really care for world eaters and was rather more impassioned with khorne. The lack of options and being directed to use angron or kharn leaves a rather sour note in my mouth.

The irrational centerpiece hate us getting out of control.

If you mean knights then they just need an even bigger centerpiece. An army for size queens

>>96573495
Neither of those aren't even centerpieces. One is a rhino based tank and the other one is a sorta big flier. A centerpiece is Mortarion or a Knight.

>>96573730
Yes, the krieg box for 40k doesn't have the extra sprue.
Hand of the archon is also just the kabalites box with an extra sprue.
Mandrakes however aren't an upgrade sprue, they're just two lots of a 5 elf sprue.

>>96573740
Technically Mandrakes are two copies of the same sprue pair with an upgrade sprue included in each of them. The box comes with all the parts to make each specialist twice and every model has a basic and a specialist build.

>>96573212
Knew that drawing was gonna be more difficult than mini painting.
How healthy is 40k’s fanart community?

Alright I'm almost done with my Eldar Combat Patrol, but I have a few questions

I'm leaving the heads off the Warp Spiders to paint separately because it seemed like trying get in that area where the mandibles, mantle, and shoulderpads overlap would be a pain. Is it worth also leaving the heads off the Wraithblades?

Do the little icons have gameplay value, and if so do I need two of them for a ten man unit of Dire Avengers?

>>96573766
Not trans, but its not really popular among women.

>>96573766
It really is. Reason: autism is a hell of a drug.

>>96573774
They do have rules now. You use them as tokens for their once-per-game ability and remove them after triggering them.

>>96573210
You will find it here:
https://discord.gg/WRtNTWBq

>>96573774
They let dire avengers flip a hit or wound roll to a 6
You get one per 5 models in the unit

>>96573766
It makes sense, autism is a pretty solid middle ground between 40k fans and trans people. Trans people also tend to be artistic so they might be drawn to the hobby side. And it provides both a solitary hobby, which is good for if you feel alienated from your peers, and a social hobby which lets you interact with people in a safe space where everyone has a shared passion.

>>96573774
>I'm leaving the heads off the Warp Spiders to paint separately because it seemed like trying get in that area where the mandibles, mantle, and shoulderpads overlap would be a pain. Is it worth also leaving the heads off the Wraithblades?
Between the business and Aspect helmets often taking quite a different scheme to the rest of the army, it's not a bad idea to paint them separately. I've personally done the same for the various flavours of Wraiths.
>Do the little icons have gameplay value, and if so do I need two of them for a ten man unit of Dire Avengers?
10e gave them a use. They're once-per-game ability markers, like ammo squigs or cherubs.

>>96573761
Like everything else, they tend to grow on you as you paint them, but generally speaking, I agree.

>>96573766
It is and basically any nerd franchise because autism.
Only thing you can do is hope and pray the afflicted grow out of their phases. Like I did.
Wish someone talked sense into me but just woke up one day and realized it was all a false pursuit.

Do you think we'll see a Khrave release down the line?

>>96573786
>>96573793
>>96573796
thanks!

>>96573804
No.

>>96573804
Never, but they are a neat. Unfortunately 40k is long past the days of showing us minor alien races. It's all main character energy primarchs from now on, and never will we retvrn.

>>96573804
Highly unlikely. They're not really a unique enough aesthetic next to other Xenos and share design suave with Tyranids and GSC and GW hates letting you use models from other ranges in your army.

>>96573810
>Unfortunately 40k is long past the days of showing us minor alien races
huh?

>>96573817
thats not a minor alien race, thats a race with 20 years of lore and models.

>>96573817
Those were introduced to the model range 20 years ago. Hardly a new inclusion and a single kill team is about the best most minor Xenos can hope for.

Drukhari just had all their minor Xenos deleted from the game without replacement too so that shows the direction they are heading now.

>>96573818
A refresh of a sub-faction is not the same design burden as adding a new faction.

>>96573804
>>96573815
If the rumored Dark Eldar refresh goes in on beastmaster and weird mercenary stuff like sslyth, I can see them maybe throwing a Khrave in there

Like, I wouldn't bet on it. But I don't think it's completely impossible

>>96573804
no

>>96573832
Khrave as being subservient to Dark Eldar seems a bit of a stretch. Especially when Psykers are banned in their society

>>96573838
oh yeah I forgot Khrave were psykers.

Nevermind, it's impossible, never gonna happen

you know, I like that the extra wargear and weapon swaps dont cost points anymore, it's less math to handle, but I'd prefer it if the swaps were limited. Instead of pimping up all your units, you only have, say, 5 heavy weapons you can assign or 3 data tethers.

>>96573844
It is kind of weird that both of the mk minor xeno friendly factions (DEldar/Tau) don't use Psykers or can't really have Psykers on the tabletop

>>96573879
True

>>96573852
not like being a psyker is really an edge in 10th

>>96573850
The whole rationale behind wargear being free is two-fold.

1. is that for competitive play, people either use the best option or no options.

2.GW really hated how often players would post their miniatures online and be told they picked the wrong option.

>>96572857
Are you a child? The bodysuit makes it way hotter!

>>96573880
beats having to constantly cross-check weapon and gear pricing tables and recalculating everything, instead of knowing you can get 4 items.

>>96573867
I'm still in hospital, so it make sense why I can't set up my work station while in the hospital bed.

>>96573889
>competitive play
should be punishable by death. every game to ever exist is ruined by those people, because inevitably the rules will cater to them

>>96573892
Genuinely speaking, I do not know why people want the profiles for weapons elsewhere, just put them on the datasheet for the unit

>>96572200 (OP)
can i buy two 30k rhinos, slap some word bearers doors on it, and use it in 40k?

or will people complain? the 30k rhinos are much cooler.

>>96573717
Nope, if you're too new you won't ever know how bad the off-topic 40k spam on other boards was after dow released

>>96573910
No, nobody will complain.
Its more using 40k things in 30k that gets people riled up

>>96573889
>1. is that for competitive play, people either use the best option or no options.
I don't see the reason here at all. It is the point that were bringing any kind of balance since even if a weapon was superior in the vacuum, the points cost was forcing you to double-think if it is worth it.
>2.GW really hated how often players would post their miniatures online and be told they picked the wrong option.
No, that's why GW started to design HH kits with magnets in mind.

>>96573911
NTA but its ironic the Discord raiders insist on trying to send all 40k posting aside from tabletop gaming to other boards

a sister who believes in the Dark King

>>96573910
GW has said they don't care if you use HH tanks as 40k proxies

>>96573908
I agree, genuinely grossly outdated design.

>>96573879
who doesn't?

>>96573924
>sample

>>96573905
as opposed to pre8th where people would water down units to avoid looking too competitive, like only running three las cannons in each unit of devastators

>>96573910
Lol no, people buy 30k shit for 40k since it's cheaper in many cases. It is HH that tries to act like it's a historical wargame which is not a case since the 2nd edition.

>>96573910
Same size, so go for it.
Hell I still people running the OLD rhino chassis from back in 2nd with out complaints.

>>96573904
oh lol. Get better soon, anon.

>>96573927
how is that an issue? one is anti-fun WAAC homofaggotry, the other doesn't ruin the game.

>>96573924
>sample

>>96573923
I also don't get why the heresy has "power armor" and it just explains it grants the unit its intrinsic armor save

>>96573222
The Decree Passive says nothing about having abhumen under arms.

>>96573926
>>96573936
I'm not archiving this stuff for future generations, there's no reason to save a massive full size version that's like 10 times the size of my computer screen

>>96573935
the other turns every game into a witch hunt where we are taking turns doing the second best thing as a way to avoid looking too competitive

>>96573928
>It is HH that tries to act like it's a historical wargame which is not a case since the 2nd edition.
Times change, asshole! Get the fuck over yourself.
>um acktually in 2nd edition the horus heresy was a story read by a library clerk on terra to his apprentice and it's not actually suppose to be taken at fa-
Fuck off!

If we get weapon points back do you think it will be simplified (IE special weapons being the same cost each instead of by different weapons)


Secondly, should some wargear stay free?

Im fine with things like hunter killer missiles and pintle storm blolters being baked into the unit costs.

>>96573804
No, which is a bit of a shame
kill team would be an obvious place to drop in minor xenos instead of releasing a whole range but GW is unlikely to do something like that anymore

>>96573943
I think he meant the 2nd edition of horus heresy anon.

I'm still big mad they moved the Tantalus into legends

>>96573924
Nice.

>>96573842
I see mouse, I imagine Disney, and I become unhappy.

>>96573944
I think GW will look at units like say eliminators and make las fusils cost points,

I doubt intercessor bolt rifle varriants are gonna come back, or that they'd charge for the grenade launcher

>>96573956
Care to post a photo of your Tantalus?

>>96573910
honestly most of my chaos tanks are HH ones just because they're easier to find on the shelves
I'm actually almost out of random spikes and stuff to chaos them up

What are some social rules that are followed but not spoken at the lgs?
>t. Autist

>>96573922
Their bean counters care.

It's kinda funny that for some units wargears costs basicly do still exists, it just in the form of split datasheets.

>>96573890
Look anon I love bodysuits but that model was literally made to be painted with bare skin.

>>96573960
DW, it's a rat, a rat of chaos undivided to be exact >:)

>>96573919
That's not what's going on at all retard

>>96573979
That's just the idiot GW devs realising their system is a crock of shit and they actually have to do something to fix it. This is what they did with the Votann Steeljacks (melee/shooty datasheets).
But there are other units left behind that didn't get this.

>>96573976
shower

>>96573988
Those are small, not even medium.

>>96573976
don't touch other people's models without asking
don't give your opinion on something (armylist, painting) unless asked for it

>>96574001
There are regulars at my lgs that forget to do that. Management lets them stink up the place because they are big spenders and some of them are into 40k and mtg and are big spenders.

>>96572400
Alright here's some measurements. It's 50mm tall and 80mm wide. It's about 2/3rds as big as the custodes tank.

>>96573976
Not sure if this is universal, but generally try and be more PG when ever youve got younger hobbyists around, it helps give a good impression for parents that are letting their kids start the hobby and gives the flgs worker less of a headache.
Also just try and be less of a sperg.

>>96573976
Don't bring up WW2

>>96573942
that is also taken too far, but way less harmful to the game.

>>96574006
no, those are medium sized tits. You just are porn brained. C cup isn't small

>>96573280
>40k first and foremost is for all intents and purposes Warhammer Fantasy but in space, the scifi part comes after.
Wrong
It's Rick's setting he made long before he even joined GW. Which is why it was immediately properly established with indepth history and why it didn't have to be constantly retconned. Instead it stayed this same since RT until now
Warhammer Fantasy wasn't even a setting, just rules for a random fantasy kitchen sink. It took editions for it too take form and in spite of this it's still being retconned constantly

This why trying to draw parallels between 40k and Fantasy and decide which race became which in space never can be agreed upon. It was never how it came to be

>>96574035
Not where I live. It’s sluts and heifers all the way down.

>>96574006

Really? Fuck I've gotta stop dating itty bitty titty committee bitches

>>96574025
But where else can I discuss the Japanese Coup in French Indo-China or Italian Resistance operations in Ethiopia at?

>>96574028
I think the community's gradual increase in competitiveness has ensured that rules are written better; the FAQs of today would never have been found in the rules pre-8th. I don't really see a charm in people being ignorant of the rules

>>96573944
>hides around corner but has the rifle butt peak out of cover
dumb idiot

>weapon points simplified
only logical way to bring them back. Getting rid of them is nice on paper but just means everyone will take everything because there is no reason not to. At the same time, it messes up with lists because I do vastly prefer fixed squad sizes instead of adding and removing models, so you could cuck yourself over with the points. It should be a separate pool, like infinity, where you got a point cost and a support/special weapon cost separate.

>>96574051
I am honestly a bit tired of the fifteen trillion minutiae that havet to be written down and specified so someone doesn't deliberately cheese the rules. What the fuck happened to rules as intended? Yeah, a wargame is precise but there are plenty of situations were the logical option is obvious and doesn't need a faq or an extra paragraph to explain it

>>96573842
dont let faggots tell you what you can and can't do. I lost the tip of my finger and it didn't keep me from painting (actually it's a blessing for my backlog). just stop when you feel pain. your body usually tells you pretty clearly what is still possible

>>96573928
Depends on the play group, you'll always have compatible groups in a hobby, but the biggest thing I've enjoyed about HH is you've still got a lot of events that cater towards more narrative focus and award points more on list theme and painting, rather than straight up points for winning games.

>>96574044
Damn, good for you anon. For me, all but completely flat or comically huge is great.

>>96574065
You do know two people can read a rule in good faith and disagree apon its meaning?

also in a pre8th world, Rules as Intended was almost always assumed to always be whatever ruling would cripple the more competitive of the two interpretations

>>96574067
>dont let faggots tell you what you can and can't do
But the nurses are pretty, and I wanna look like a total sperg in front of the hoes.

>>96573971
NTA but it makes me the big sad too

>>96574078
>also in a pre8th world, Rules as Intended was almost always assumed to always be whatever ruling would cripple the more competitive of the two interpretations
Nah, even back in 5th you'd still get RAW arguments.
Not sure why people are acting like 8th Ed changed competitive 40k when there's always been cheese goblins running around.

>>96573889
neither of those situations got solved

>>96574083
quick anon, I need to ask. Which countrya re you in, and do the nurses there have small tits and fat asses? It has be a near constant in every hospital I went to or worked in, and it was been corroborated by other people in other countries as well. The only exception were the fat ones.

>>96574099
>Nah, even back in 5th you'd still get RAW arguments.
5th is pre8th
>Not sure why people are acting like 8th Ed changed competitive 40k when there's always been cheese goblins running around.

I don't think competitiveness is just cheese, I think that whole mentality was something that couldn't survive the influx of new players with 8th

>>96574104
A lot of nurses the world over are Filipinas so it just might be a Filipina thing.

>>96574078
nobody that reads a rule in a way that grossly benefits their army is reading it in good faith.

>>96574099
>>96574104
>Which countrya re you in
Straya
No, Latinas, but a lot of cute Aussie and Asian birds.

I really hope they don't bring wargear points costs back, they just need to make more of the weapon options viable without an obvious best choice in every case.

>>96574112
I only met four non-european ones, it can't be that

>>96574083
I take it you are not american or at least very well insured?

>>96574112
Anons, for the love of god DO NOT DATE filipina nurses, you can try, but if they start acting cutesy and performative RUN.
I don't care how crazy the pussy is and then.being good in the sack, they will sooner or later go crazy and try and either ruin your life or babytrap you.

>>96574067
Generally speaking if you're in the hospital you aren't allowed to bring in whatever you want. If the nurses tell you you can't bring in a bunch of paint and xacto knives and stuff, you really shouldn't

>>96574145
just like latinas and russian women. honeypots

>>96574123
mate, you live on an island where god himself declared eternal martial law and you pussy around with SEAmonkeys that aren't even interested in you now that they have their green card. if you can scam for insurance money do so but don't loathe around in a sick-house just for mediocre pussy you'll never get

>>96574116
no one that reads a rule in a way that grossly hurts their enemy's army is reading it in good faith

>>96574165
another IG combat patrol with horses lmao

>>96574165
Looks like Krieg didn't sell as well as GW hoped.

>>96574155
Stopping you from breaking the game is a good faith action.

>>96574168
At least it's only 5 instead of a useless blob of 10.

>>96574176
You're playing into what I said when you're immediately assuming any interpretation of the rule other than your own must be this terrible game-breaking thing

>>96574165
>>96574168
>>96574179
As a guard player, I have to say I'm always surprised by how much my fellow guard players hate horses.

>>96574165

>>96574214

>>96574165
>Harlequins getting attention
What timeline have we shifted to?

>>96574154
Gonna be out of hospital as soon as I can, but it's still always nice to chat up the nurses, since last time I was here I got some numbers. Shame a lot of nurses are just after fwb though, but I guess that's just part of the work culture.

>>96574131
Nah, Aussie in private.

Isn’t this basically a perfect infantry box? Or are tanks so viral to guard that this is somehow underwhelming?

>In general, Trazyn had not been much interested in humans. He collected them, of course, he collected everything. But he considered them on the same level as orks, or various kinds of carnivorous algae. Their spread across the cosmos had destroyed so many more interesting civilisations, and since the rise of the Emperor their culture had an utter sameness that bored him. If Trazyn cared about the mere ability to propagate and spread, he’d spend his eternity collecting bacteria. Just because a thing was successful and ubiquitous did not make it fascinating – it just made it common.

>But the Heresy changed all that. Before it was all colonisation and settlement. This, this was history, this was drama. Betrayal. Struggle. Brother fighting brother across the gulf of the stars. Empires rising and falling, heroes and rebels.

>He’d collected so much that he’d begun to worry he’d gone overboard. Especially since it hadn’t stopped. Centuries out from the Siege of Terra, and he’d continued snatching up human artefacts wherever he could. Now he not only had specimens, and spare specimens, but spares of spares.

>>96574272
>>96574281
40k is going to keep becoming more of space opera/hero hammer because it is what sells. HH is for oldhammer boomers.

that is unironically how I believe GW thinks of it

>>96574272
Horus Heresy isn't a 40k game.

>>96574272
Ledgends is a legacy format where almost everything thats had rules will get forever rules. Kind of like national dex for pokemon.

Saturnine never had 40k rules, ntohings stopping you from using them as centurions those

>>96574272
GW introduced a policy that there should be a clear split between various games and their respective kits. That's why there is almost no overlap between AoS and TOW kits, 40k lost rules for most HH kits etc. It got quite ridiculous at some point - we even have two plastic Drop Pod kits right now for that very reason. I am surprised they didn't introduced Orks to 30k yet but I assume it may happen once we get new Nobz and walkers.

>>96574272
Run them as Relic Terminators. A game that allows Legends datasheets probably won’t care that Saturine are on 50mm bases either.

>>96574272
The product lines of individual armies and games are being disentangled from each other in order for GW to more precisely gauge what's popular and in what format.

Very normal thing to say, call a family member and read what you typed out loud to them when you get the chance.

>>96574272
My pet theory is that HH designers and 40k designers have separate budgets, and usage of 30k kits in 40k disadvantages one side in some retarded corporate way.

Of course they will. It was hugely popular for the leviathan box, and they already have all of the framework in place. So, they just reskin it for the new launch box.

>>96574217
Tau have the cutest fanart

>>96574598
Seeing the reception of the respective Khorne books in 40k and AoS this year was a study in contrasts. The AoS army ended up losing models and got a bunch of rules cut or simplified from previous editions, but somehow the response to the new book was still largely positive. Over in 40k the fanfare to the WE rollout in 10e barely registered even though it got new units and was pushed with a tie-in Armageddon campaign and a Kill Team box.

>>96574616
No.

>>96574603

IIRC they set it up for a fakeout in the recent crusade book. Some time after Ghaz left Yarrick got on a ship to follow him. Contact was lost and Yarrick was presumed dead after that. If someone has the book on hand they could correct me. I didn't bother to get the scan when I read it.
