whats your current project?

my world eateries :)

>TQ
Trying to coax the local tau player to give up on their army and pick up a real man’s army like space marines.

Will you bear the word?

>>96580073
You should play loser bottoms and switches their army and bring loaded dice

>>96580047
Wrong
There are more Leman Russ tanks made in Armageddon alone in a year than Spacemarine miniatures ever fucking made

I remember eating Swedish meatballs in that

Can't decide between raven guard and blood angels

Get it trending. We will not go quietly into the night.

Reposting from last thread, swapped out the pathfinders for stealth suits.
this is my first attempt making a tau list in about 10years. I'd love some C&C, I guess my general idea is peppering the opponent enough to allow my breachers to rush in and steal some objectives, I might be a bit light on troops so I think I might consider dropping the broadsides for more breachers.

Also when I get around to it I'll be interested in seeing how the Xv9's go reducing the enemies movement, because then I might invest in getting some more.

Get a grip

>>96580152
Oh no
I like Warhammer community

reposting once for the new thread before i head to sleep: this is my haul from my LGSs nearby for building my ultramarines army !

so far im only missing uriel ventris, a scout squad, 2 ballistus dreadnoughts and 2 storm speeders. tomorrow im going to pick up a couple of layer paints to round out my collection

the finish line is in sight lads !

Anyone have an idea as to what I can proxy this as.

>>96580065 (OP)
I have never considered a Hollow Knight 40k crossover. The Knight would be a demon prince in 40k though, since he becomes a monstrous god by the end of it

I'll be honest.
I though this picture was a pair tits in a grey shirt at first glance.

>>96580334
That's okay. I thought the Cultist Chan figure was real. So arguably worse.

https://youtu.be/CJcZgdZEq0M

So now that the dust has settled, was GW right to add a few women to the Custodes and retcon them as always having been there? How much damage or improvement did it do to the setting?

IWbros we eating good? Should surely be good to kitbash with regular CSM parts

>>96580301
this nigga fell for the abominable intelligence

>>96580065 (OP)
finish building votan then spray them and get to BR with markers since im lazy and then work on some tau
what i did wish i had the will to push through with due to some internal hillarity is a deathleaper in colors of one of the SoB orders, maybe even lil diorama of him about to mindflay some battle sister (i know they're not exactly mindflayers but with that head cmon)

>>96580340
In retrospect I think it may have been the right choice if it was to keep the you-know-who-hands off space marines.
Some faction had to fall on it's sword in the stead of the space marines and I guess it had to be the Custodes that do that.
Is it an improvement? Nah.
But the setting would have suffered worse if the Custodes did not make their sacrifice.

I like the cover.

>>96580367
Just remember, you're here for life!

>>96580382
Yea, I'll be picking this one up. Mike Brooks is a good writer and I met him at the grocery store once and he was a nice enough chap.

You guys hyped for the new Eldar book?
They're finally free of Gav Thorpe and they're out there and proud.

>>96580358
That seems rather excessive

>>96580391
Yes.

>>96580391
That's a cool colour palette.

>>96580391
>mike brooks
Im glad I abandoned the prospect of collecting this faction. Its one humiliation ritual after another for this army.

>>96580294

>>96580178
Based

>>96580419
There's a Craftworld Eldar falling in with the Corsairs right? I don't think he's ever written them before but they a history of catching strays in his Dark Eldar books so I'm sure there will be some kind of critique of their highly regimented society of emotional repression and personality disassociation.

>>96580178
this image should be a bannable offense

I really wish that combat force for HH had a predator instead of that robot thing so I could buy 2 for a csm army.

>>96580382
>eldar pirates versus ork pirates

Okay this might be incredibly based actually

>>96580465
Space marines are all the same group

>>96580481
You can tell because they have 5 Codexes

>>96580481
Nah, you're thinking about the imperial guard

>>96580420
This chapter was better when i thought they were just femboys instead of f*male space marines

>>96580480
I want to see eldar corsairs, ork pirates and votann pioneers form a galactic axis of plunder and black trade

>>96580504
Dogs of War codex in 40k would be sick as fuck.

>>96580508
thats just agents

>>96580512
agents is a bunch of cops and priests and cia spooks and shit.

I want orks, humans, eldar, votann etc all united in a motley crue army of big personalities in it for money, the adventure and the fight.

>>96580512
agents is just imperials

>>96580523
>>96580518
sorry I forgot xenos and chaos existed for a second.

>10 days left until the collage deadline
How are your entries going? I really gotta get off my ass and start painting.

>>96580382
I think corsairs are actually the thing that might make Eldar cool and interesting.

>>96580526
Not sure if I'll get everything in to finish it before the end of the month but I have all week off from work next week. I'm trying to do an entire kitbashed squad.

>>96580382
>Mike Books
Eldar really can't catch a break. Good thing is that it's his last 40k book (according to him) as he decided to write his own stuff now.

>>96580065 (OP)
I'm working on trying to kit bash/paint my guardsmen into mutated traitor guard.

>>96580555
>Good thing is that it's his last 40k book
So he's torching the faction on his way out the door then?

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>96580555
>Good thing is that it's his last 40k book (according to him) as he decided to write his own stuff now.

Nooo! Source? I love mike brooks!

>>96580526
mostly done
I was going to base him this weekend but might just goof off and do it later

>>96580525
Don't worry, that happens to the worst of us.

>>96580081
You need new material.

How to build seer council detachment? Bunch of guardians and warlocks?

Are there any good sites where I can get firstborn Black Templar bits. I was thinking about using some of the Horus Heresy kits to convert a 4th edition style army, but I need some Mark VII helmets and bits.
>inb4 just use primaris bits
I'll probably use the shoulder pads, but I'm looking for extra Mark VII backpacks and helmets and I'm not sure I want to buy a whole tactical squad for bits.

>>96580631
Hours. Heresy

>Ultramarines primaris upgrade sprue removed from GW's website
It's about time UM got a new one like the other big SM chapters

>>96580637
Anon, don't jinx it, please.

>>96580166
nta but i consistently have good results with GW primer. I tried army painter once and it didn't work as well.

What's the hottest mini you've ever seen?

>>96580632
Is that what would've happened if Little Horus rebelled?

>>96580653
It's certainly not from Warhammer

>>96580653
most KDM pinups are pretty damn hot

>>96580666
Was gonna post KDM but you beat me to it.

What the fuck is this choice
Am I really supposed to find the increased chance of getting morties against one type of enemy worth all the other trade-offs?

I swear the amount of detail on these guys is staggering, I've been basecoating metal deatils for two days.

>>96580701
at least they don't have 2 meters of elaborate trim I guess

>>96580653
yeah kdm is an easy win

>>96580696
I admit I've had luck with combi weapons on chaos terminators but yeah on sternguard no chance

>>96580701
Take the grimdark pill, brother
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AKB-pzLtQU

>>96580719
>paint your minis in a way that only looks good on a black background with carefully prepared lighting
grimdark is a meme that only works for instagram pictures

>>96580706
>mfw this set is only available in US warehouse so shipping to EU is really expensive
I guess I'll get it during the black friday sale they always do

>>96580725
Aside from that being incorrect, most minis tend to look much better given a close up shot with the right light and background cause surprise surprise, the naked human eye tends to not always see every tiny detail in its beautiful detail, why do you think people paint minis most of the time with magnifying glasses?

>>96580701
Every time I hear people describe how fucking easy it is to paint deathguard I realize they were talking about the aos range rather than the actual deathguard line instead.
Plaugemarines have way to fucking much detail to be considered a starter army, fuckin hell.

>>96580139
I hope than Brooks will be fired too

>>96580754
He's a freelancer, not an employee. He can't actually be fired.

>>96580751
Plague marines are low skill floor high skill cap.
You can make them look presentable by just sploshing contrast on them. Or you go full autist and paint every tiny maggot individually

>>96580705
They aren't as crazy as say, a forgefiend or a heldrake but they do have a respectable amount of trim still, especially since there are random pieces of metal riveted all over their armour.
>>96580719
In my case there's really no two ways around it, my armour is white and I do it with an airbrush to keep myself sane, so I either mask everything before priming or basecoat every metal part in black after I'm done with the armour. I usually do the latter because I feel like I have more control over it.
>>96580751
I mean they can probably look decent as the other anon says just with some contrasts, but if you want to paint the details and have interesting visual contrast they must be one of the most detailed armies for sure. The amount of rivets, valves, maggots, demonic growths, tentacles, corroded metals, bullet holes, pieces of chainmail, leaking fluids they have everywhere is insane.

>>96580555
morbidly curious about what the hell he is going to write about outside of BL

Does anybody here actually play Eldar?

What drew you to the faction?

Why are there two of him?

>>96580820
just dark eldar

>>96580819
Some generic sci-fi stuff. He assumed he had a big enough fanbase to do his own thing without having to pay GW 40%. He'll probably be back to writing 40k if his own work flops or we'll be rid of him if he succeeds.

>>96580749
Show me a grimdark miniature on a white background with proper lighting or in natural light that looks anywhere near as good as when photographed on a dark/black background, I'll wait.

>>96580822
One for patricians and one for plebeians

>>96580701
i actually found my plague marines harder to paint than my terminators

im not sure if im going to get anymore deathguard tho, sort of lot interest in them. Been thinking a lot about just focusing on my iron hands and nids.

>>96580830
I found painting the insides of those flails a bitch

>>96580751
>death guard
>talking about the aos range

>>96580822
god that Forgeworld Angron is so fucking wide

>>96580829
Yeah I agree, the 40k one is miles better.

>>96580839
sorry, I meant to say worse.

>>96580751
Death Guard are easy to paint to a very good standard without much experience or talent. The lots of detail is part of that, it means that every model has lots of little bits of character.

They just take a long time to paint because you keep finding new little bits.

>>96580839
shit taste but you're entitled to your opinion

>>96580820
Cool models and theri design

>>96580823
>>96580820
Also just Dark Eldar for me, though CWE are pretty cool too. Ynnari can fuck right off though

>>96580827
Bait used to be believable, if you are genuine though then I am saddened to say you can Google it for yourself, I'm not gonna spoonfeed retards

>>96580875
I accept your concession

>>96580880
Likewise

>>96580880
I don't know what you expected. You're arguing with a shitposter.

>>96579634
I've been slowly building up a Krieg army over the last 2ish years or so between this year's model refresh, kitbashes, Forge World recasts, and Horus Heresy Leman Russes. So far I've got
>Lord Marshal Dreir
>2 Krieg Command Squads (One from the plastic kit, one using the FW Command HQ squad)
>a Commissar
>40 Krieg infantry
>10 Combat Engineers
>10 Grenadiers (Kitbashed from Tiny Legend bits)
>2 Artillery Teams
>10 Death Riders
>1 Field Ordinance Battery squad
>2 Sentinels
>3 Leman Russes (1 Battle Tank, 1 Tank Commander w/ Demolisher Cannon, and one Vanquisher)
>1 Chimera
Along with a few other things in the pipeworks (A second Chimera waiting in a box, another squad of those Tiny Legend Grenadiers + some "Castellans" to lead them), a 4th Russ with a swappable turret mount to try out different variants).

Honestly if you're starting from scratch the new Combat Patrol isn't that bad if you pick up two of them. I was with you initially and was kinda "Meh" on the Death Riders at first. After building and painting them though I think they're kinda neat. Do I wish they were better in game? Yeah, but hey, they make nice display models at least. They've got quite a few build options since you can do lances/swords/guns and it all counts as the same unit, so WYSIWYG isn't an issue.

>>96580480
The plot already got leaked.
90% of the book is the Corsairs fighting Humans and Genestealers to stop the Orks from attacking a Craftworld by setting a trap to blow up the Ork fleet. The 'twist' is that the Corsair Princess changes the plan at the end and detonates the trap early, which alerts the Orks to the Craftworld's pressence and has them charge straight at it and butcher the Craftworlders while the Corsairs escape. The Ex-Craftworld character, Admiral Taenar, is initially distraught but is convinced by the main Corsair character, Myrin, that he had no real ties left to the Craftworld after being exiled and that he fits in far better with the Corsairs.

>>96580903
beeg hammor

>>96580903
Gundam Ork.

>>96580911
damn the corsair princess is a bitch, thats fucked up

>>96580911
And why do people think Mike Brooks is a good writer?

>>96580911
Dogshit, it's the only word I can use to describe that.

>>96580905
>everyone itt is the same person aside from me

>>96580920
>>96580924
It may make more sense as a novel than as a short paragraph summary

>>96580931
This is Mike Brooks we are talking about, benefit of doubt is wasted on him.

>>96580345
they perfect, just change weapons for raptor options (meltagun fist chainswords)

>>96580935
Looking at his list of works, I've liked most everything of his I've read.

Alpharius, Harrowmaster, Son of the Forest, Lelith Hesperax, all good reads. I was iffy on Huron Blackheart, it felt like some executive was like, "hey remind everybody this guy exists" as opposed to a book that existed for the sake of a good story. But still, that's four out of five solid books, and Huron wasn't awful just felt a bit pointless

What's people's beef with Brooks?

>>96580930
>follows with muh schizo
your script is boring and stale

>>96580963
Literally just chud-shit. Its archtards mad he had a nonbinary orc in one of his stories. And it wasn't so much the orc was nonbinary and more the orks making fun of a marine for assuming they are all men when they dont have sex at all, they are a single sex species that breeds via spores. That's it.

People like the toxic Yuri. Also there is a sororitas short story with a trans character mentioned (never appears, just is mentioned) and because Brooks is outwardly LGBT positive they assume it was him but it wasn't.

>>96580970
Considering you're still talking to a different guy, yeah seems pretty schizo to me

>>96580963
Same, his books are decent. The Lion book was a refreshing take on the DA after decades of suffering Gav Thorpe.
>What's people's beef with Brooks?
he's left wing in public, so terminally online culture warrior subhumans here never will stop smearing him.
Basically the same that happened with ADB or McNeill a decade ago. The quality of his works, good or bad, will be misrepresented on purpose to shit on him.

>>96580972
>People like the toxic Yuri
Plebbit retarts arent humans

>>96580986
NTA but my issue with ADB has always been the weird sort of worship he got on reddit and other forums soley because he was a forum poster at one point.

>>96580963
>What's people's beef with Brooks?
Literally just that he thinks lesbians can be okay and has "he/him" in his bio. Don't make too much of it.

>>96580972

You have to go back.

>>96581006
Give a legitimate reason why "Archivefagging" is a bad thing. Why shouldn't people use a public resource to show how frequently shitposts are reposted.

>>96580963
Lelith's book completely waters down her characters for the sake of promoting her as a 'girl power' lesbian icon for a faction of torturous slavers and rapists.
Lelith is not mean to be a hip and trendy character who getd involved with 'toxic yuri'. She's an alien gladiator who runs an entire army of other gladiators solely so she can find more things to torture and kill. Romance vehemently disgusts her to the point that she kills anyone she sleeps with just for fun.

>>96580166

There's nothing wrong with using the archive, there's everything wrong with obsessively using the archive.

>>96581019
For me it's pic related. Yeah it's technically more expensive than Chaos Black ($13 for 100ml for one can vs $26 for 400ml in the Chaos Black), but by god it has the smoothest finish I've seen in a primer.

>>96581021
>le maybe the chaos gods were the players all along
where does that come from anyways?

>>96581029
This. It's narc behaviour and trying to police the thread.

>>96581024
>Romance vehemently disgusts her to the point that she kills anyone she sleeps with just for fun.
yeah that's what the book is about

>>96581022
>the archivefag cries when he gets called out

>>96581037
I think its the last book in the Fabulous Bile trilogy.

>>96581022
Why shouldn't people use a post to point out how frequently you archivefag?

>>96581022
there was a fad for a while of absolute shit-heads going through and using the archives to Big Brother everything you ever posted with that image, then coming back and posting one of your old comments like "OOOOOH YOU HAVE THIS OPINION? OOOOOOOH!"
it was cringe as hell.

>>96581022

The writing guality in his books isn't great and him shoving contemporary political faggotry into them so he can "own the chuds" (his words not mine) makes his work bottom of the barrel shit that's only good for making paper mache.

>>96580972
>Also there is a sororitas short story with a trans character mentioned (never appears, just is mentioned) and because Brooks is outwardly LGBT positive they assume it was him but it wasn't.
What are you trying to say here? That the LGBT author wasn't the one who put in a trannoid character and trannoid surgery briefly just so he can go on his personal discord and give himself a pat on the back? That it was a shadowy nebulous someone else?

>>96581091
Both of these models are boring.

>>96580963
People hate his books for the same reason why people hate modern games like Veilguard, it's dogshit in quality and the creator/s behind the said thing only care to push their faggot politics and show off how faggot friendly they are to other faggots within their clique.

It's that simple.

>>96581091
At least the raptor dude is unintentionally a funny starscream-like character.

Archaon's second in command is just another bland girl-boss with no personality or charisma.

>>96581108
That's not what that scene was about.
It was about him having to recall how most of his Craftworld, including his own mother, got completely obliterated by a random force of Ultramarines.

>>96581091
Do chaos warriors have jump lords like haarken? Should they?

>>96581120
No. They have the one thing demons in 40k wish they had.
Furries.

so being a wargame should determine what your army looks like instead of the actual fiction

>starscream-like
I don't think there's much overlap between Haarken and Starscream beyond their both being flying mooks for evil overlords. Haarken is stupendously loyal and doesn't get routinely humiliated by his boss.

>>96581117
>a random force of Ultramarines
to be fair, it was the 5th company supported by knights and titans, and they were also killed.
The UM leaving the bodies, armour and standards say a lot.

>>96581141
the black trim while accurate looks lazy

>>96581120
For the most part, no, they don't have much in the way of flying units, heroes or otherwise. And it's not a thing now, but these things used to have a rules option to be run as flying units.

Yes.

The gold chest imperialis/aquila and shoulder pad trim of the 2nd company is too much, IMO

>>96581175
>see GW is enshittifying the game for me and that is a good thing
Ok, then don't complain when GW enshittify the game to the point where even you find it untolerable. Since after all GW would be agreeing with some other customer who are also equally valid as you.

>>96581182
Why would the game using a real world force org make it inherently better

I don't care if you own a 20,000 point army

if you primarily call them "astra militarum" you are NOT an imperial guard fan

>>96581179
I think its because the animation has a lot of flat colors so the undersuit is the same color as the trim

>>96581207
Makes it an actual wargame and also helps balancing it since you can't spam your obnoxious meta units.
And it actually forces you to think about what you bring to the table.

Ie. all things that will filter out most tourneyfags and miscellaneous retards like the guy I replied to.

>The FIRST EVER MAINSTREAM 40K movie might be the first Tyrannic war
I think that's a cool way to introduce people to 40k, nids are the easiest enemy faction for normies to get while learning about the Imperium. Most imporantly however, is that having tyranids be centre stage is that it appeals to women ,which for the bean counters means they can appeal to twice as many viewers.

>>96581163
I'm not too bitter about the loss of these rules specifically, I can see why they'd trim some of this. Slaves to Darkness is already a stacked army as is, and while I'd rather they kept as many fun options in the books for as long as possible, getting a choice of eight different special rules that apply to only a single unit in the whole army does feel pretty bloatsome.

I mean it is cool but it's also quite tiresome and some units don't even have the proper load outs in the kit, seems like you have to scavenge for bits. Also some kits are completely bland and monopose without any options and it will look.weird to run multiples of them. What a weird faction.

>>96581270
Yeah okay, that's why Cosairs shouldn't be anywhere near 40k in the first place, second plenty of stories have the stakes raised to entire worlds and sub-factions being destroyed but it only seems to happen in Xenos books and it happens everytime in Eldar books.

>>96581276

I truly can't understand why some absolute subhumans defend Mike Brooks' writing. He is by far the worst Black Library has to offer and that's even when completely ignoring his politics or fetishes he inserts in his books. He writes like a comic book writer who uses chatGPT as his editor. That's why he shits out so many low quality books. Then there are his subhuman fanboys who only praise him because he is on their political side. I'm a leftist (though not a radical one, maybe that's the problem) and I think he is a garbage writer.

Star Army as in a guard force that is sent out to other solar systems unlike the standard PDF who stays on planet. It also further helps to prevent misnomers because the PDF can also be classified as the “Imperial Guard”.

I can really see this being the cold open/ line for the trailer. We cannot live through this being a fascinating deep cut to Islamic scholars when they saw the sack of Baghdad by the Mongols who famously said 'Islam cannot survive them' to the at the time unstoppable golden horde.

I was reding through the Horus Heresy and I don't think the writers really though through the implications of time not existing in the warp.

For example that implies that Horus is in some sense still in the warp after he entered on Moloch, he never left, and could come out in 41k. Time travel shit gets weird fast

>The more I learn about these aliens, the more I come to understand what drives them, the more I hate them. I hate them for what they are and for what they may one day become. I hate them not because they hate us but because they are incapable of good, honest, human hatred

>There is a cancer eating at the Imperium. With each decade it advances deeper, leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose that functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bioengineered monsters it unleashes upon us by instinct. We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if is aware of us at all it must know us only as Prey.

>As I looked into its dead black eyes, I saw the terrible sentience it had in place of a soul. Behind that was the steel will of its leader. Further still I could feel its primogenitor coldly assessing me from the void. And looking back from the deepest recesses of the alien's mind I perceived what I can only describe as an immortal hunger. We can slay the Tyranids on our worlds, blast their fleets from the space, grind their armies to torn and ruined fragments. But their hunger? That is beyond our ability to slay.

One of the reason I'm never touching a 40k novel.

It's easy to write some "big" idea, but you better deliver, you better make it interesting, it better add to your story.
Time travel and dimensional bullshit are always a red flag, it's an exception when someone pulls it off.

I'm sure for the writers it was a way to make the warp sound more powerful, but in practice it means shit is meaningless and is down to the whims of (mediocre) writers.

Writing is easy. Writing something interesting, isn't.

>>96581365

>>96581392
No.

>>96581389
Maybe we should stop acknowledging that part of the warp until it goes away instead of perpetuating the cycle of shit

>>96581406
If the warp exists in all times at once then everything that entered is still there in that eternal moment even if they exist the warp in our reality at time X. The warp is thus everything it will be and ever has been at all times

>>96581366
is there a book with all his concept art?

>>96581406

>For example that implies that Horus is in some sense still in the warp after he entered on Moloch, he never left, and could come out in 41k. Time travel shit gets weird fast
The HH novels are literally the story of Chaos creating itself via a series of bootstrap paradoxes by interfering in reality before it technically exists, starting with the daemon Samus triggering the Horus Heresy by manifesting in the past. Except he didn't exist yet, because he is only created when Erebus shanks Garviel Loken at the end of the battle on the Vengeful Spirit. This is Chaos bootstrap paradox #1 that they used to basically hack reality to their own favor and doom humanity.
Chaos bootstrap paradox #2 is woven into a tangle with #1, wherein the Emperor and Horus's duel on the Vengeful Spirit shatters time and space. The act of doing so causes the combined negative emotions of the Siege of Terra to leak into the dawn of time, essentially tainting the Warp with the beginnings of Chaos (and the origins of the first 3 Chaos Gods) billions of years before the Old Ones ever create the first psychic races.
Put simply, the entire Horus Heresy is Chaos creating its own origin story out of nothing. Chaos didn't actually exist prior to the Horus Heresy, because it had no actual origin point beforehand. But it somehow interfered with reality to cause its own creation, because time is nonexistent in the Warp. This means that the Emperor's Golden Path, which he believed was the only way to stop Chaos, was in fact the only way to *create* Chaos, and he was tricked into causing everything bad that ever happened in the universe. If he had simply chosen not to create the Imperium or create the Primarchs or one of any number of things that led to the Horus Heresy, Chaos would have actually unraveled from existence.
Yes, it is retarded. Yes, people will say "that never happened" because they didn't read the The End and the Death and simply refuse to believe this is the case.

Hmm I get that, I don't think that means there's now an ifinite copy of you that can enter reality. Seems more like there's a version of Horus that IS Horus at the point in the warp forever. Like a respawning enemy/boss from a souls like game. You can find him and kill him but if you rest and come back he'll be right there all over again both defeated and undefeated by you

Slaanesh was among them, his 'birth' was a performative act to destroy the Eldar and pave the way for the Emperor to begin the Great Crusade unopposed.
This also means that the Eldar only ruled the galaxy because Chaos was allowing it, and at any point the Chaos Gods could have triggered the Fall and ended the Eldar Empire. The Eldar were just useful tools for keeping the Galaxy in relative stasis for 60 million years so Humans could come about.

It's already replaced by the gladiator. But that was before they knew how people felt about primaris marines.

>The HH novels are literally the story of Chaos creating itself
No, it isn't, go ask /hhg/

>>96581439
That is incredibly lame and fucking gay.
Honestly what does this add to 40k?

I really don't see the issue, the war that doomed Humanity also creating the thing that is dooming humanity seems incredibly appropriate for 40k, if a bit contrived in execution.

>>96581213
So if Cavil is in the movie and not just producing it, he'll probably be playing Calgar then

>>96581279
>>96581306
The logic behind it is that Ork fleet was much larger than originally thought and the Craftworld had been massively weakened after being raided by Lelith prior to the book's start (it's actually mentioned in the Lelith book), so it wasn't going to be much help against the Orks. Tishria didn't think the Corsairs would profit from standing with the Craftworld, so she pulled her people out.

The setting exists beyond humans.
Chaos isn't just a human thing.
Arguing that humans are singularly responsible for chaos shrinks the setting.

>>96581522
>The setting exists beyond humans
it really doesn't

>>96581514
>>96581504
Once again, the people who never read it leap to the defense of Abnett.

>>96581522
>The setting exists beyond humans
Not really.

>>96581525
It literally does.
We're not talking about a matter of POVs, where the setting is undeniably anthropocentric, we're talking about the actual worldbuilding of the setting.

If you want to argue that chaos is exclusively a human thing, then you're not talking about 40k, you're talking about some weird fanfiction that removes everything from 40k but humans and chaos.
It's simply objectively wrong at face value, or a meaningless impression in the most forgiving of interpretations that would see whatever is described in that book as but one of many events that seed chaos back in time.

>>96581526
Abnett can fuck off, but so can you
His late books have many issues, but your made up fanfiction about creating Chaos is not one of them

>>96581487
>I really don't see the issue
There was no need to ever explain as to why and how Chaos came into existance. Also it's just more Chaos wank like "Chaos will win in the end anyway xD" that BL editor Laurie Goulding or whoever said.

It quite literally turns the entirety of the 40k setting and the characters and all the events within it meaningless. (Yes, I know this is a fictional setting that doesn't actually matter)
All it does is just make everything that happens in 40k a pre-determined outcome and none of the actual actions of the characters matter.
Like imagine if Tolkien had written LoTR where Frodo gets to Mount Doom and throws the ring into the lava destroying the Ring, only for him to then write a sequel book 2 decades later where he describes the lava pouring out from the volcano where then the molten golden metal then flows out and then forms into the One Ring again and its then found by the orcs who bring it to Sauron.

Anon... just read Part 3. You don't even have to read 1 and 2. I don't understand why someone who claims to hate BL tries to argue that things that actually happen in Part 3 didn't happen. Why are you trying to defend Abnett and BL?

I don't hate BL, in fact I like some books and dislike others.
You being unable to get that from my posts is more evidence of you not understanding what you read, like Abnett books.
If you were a real lorefag, you'll know that his works are called the "Abnetverse" for a reason

>>96581600
>If you were a real lorefag, you'll know that his works are called the "Abnetverse" for a reason
because even amongst the people who read the novels abnett is fairly esoteric and so in order to preserve their spot in the hierarchy of knowledge they delegate his novels to their own verse as a way to say they don't count

>>96581543
>No need
Nah, humanity dooming itself by creating its archenemy makes the tradegy all the worse. After all, if Paradise wasn't Lost it isn't much of a tradegy, and GW isn't likely to write a redemptive story for humanity in 40k.
>Chaos will win in the end anyway
Been that way since Realm of Chaos
>That entire second paragraph
Congrats on realizing the inherent nhilism of the setting, there is only an eternity of carnage, slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

>>96581605

lmao, BL readers dislike that he doesn't care about the works of other authors, and breaks the setting often with tech and shit that doesn't belong in 40k

Ugh

>>96581656
true, they have no biological sex, but their society is all male through social constructs created by them after their frequent encounters with mostly biologically male humans. they are actually a great testimony to how gender is extremely fluid, and doesn’t necessarily go by the state of your reproductive organs. hacks like nate crowley are too retarded to grasp this, and immediately go for the easy “muh orks are non-binary because they don’t have dicks” which is unknowingly affirming transphobic beliefs about gender.

>>96581749
both are pirates and raiders, but the corsairs do it for the sake of having exciting adventures, the dark eldar do it to prolong their lives with the pain of others.

>>96581793
>the corsairs do it for the sake of having exciting adventures
>I love murder robbery, it's such an exciting adventure

>>96581770
$85 for 20 marines vs $125 for 20 marines

>>96581787
that's just the same that happens with trying to make female/tranny marines happen, instead of acknowledging that Astartes are homos but asexual mascs to the core.

>>96581799
>>I love murder robbery, it's such an exciting adventure
I mean yeah.
Some fuckhead Imperial Admiral had a colossal orbital fortress built and proclaimed it was utterly incapable of being infiltrated.
Prince Yriel responded by sneaking in and taking on of the Admiral's eyes while he slept, wholly for a laugh.

>>96581799
eldar psychology is weird like that, they don't really want the wealth or the murder either, it's mostly the thrill of the challenge and danger

it's like extreme sports
corsairs either have very short lives because they live like that, or they're corsairs only for a relatively short rebellious period and then resettle somewhere else in eldar societies

What's more funny to me is that the FW demon Angron isn't even being sold yet.
Kinda like GW knows that the Angron model is shit and they are holding him back. I hope they rework his model and make it look more like the 40k Angron, or better yet just scrap it entirely.

>>96581922
FotM isn’t necessarily a bad thing, its just something that is released, everyone raves about for a month, and then most leave to go for something else that seems cool while a group of dedicated enjoyers of that flavor stick around.

>>96581980
Are we not FotM

>>96581997
No, Silksong is a small single player game, so it can only be talked about so much. 40K is constantly expanding and has enough lore to rotate discussion on without it getting too repetitive. If you’re talking about /40kg/, then still no because /40kg/ popularity is fixed to the popularity of 40K, so poster count rises and falls depending on whether people want to come here to talk about 40K or not.

so how does the transitions between editions actually work? do you just use the same rules from the last edition until they're replaced?

>>96581787
>“muh orks are non-binary because they don’t have dicks”
Orks also have dicks, they just don't use them to reproduce. They use them to piss on marines instead. Orks are ladz, simple as.

white scars are mongolians
ravenguard are native americans

>>96582122

What... ?

>>96582221
Not canon

>>96582249
yes it is, tourist

>>96582221
nah, it’s like how eels produce their dicks just before they’re about to mate, but instead of seeing a female eel, the orks produce their dicks at the sight of a marine dead on the ground.

>>96582234
Now post the whole sentence. I am saying that White Scars can totally be chinese if someone wants that because we already have ethnically slavic and white-looking WS, not just the asian flavour.

>>96582185
depends on the edition change
most have a set of changes that retain a core of rules (like 8th to 9th) so most of the old stuff applies
others like 2nd to 3rd or 7th to 8th change a lot more and generally come with placeholder army lists etc

>>96582221
that's an ork kept in captivity that has degenerated enough for his gut to cover his junk

Can I get a source on those polish white scars? I'm not disagreeing with you, just curious.

>>96582159
Unfortunately I agree with that. I don't care for their infantry. At least they have square tanks still though, tired of these eggshit Guard vehicles.

Is there a good reason that GW hasn't tried to get into the manga industry with their Warhammer 40k IP given how much nerds love Japan?

I mean, yeah that's possible. Khan wasn't really a far east asian anyway. He was just adopted by mongols.

The Marco Polo tv show was quite good at portraying it, though it was about the grandson Kublai Khan.
