>Thread Question
Which mini faction needs a full model release?

None, they all suck ass and are stupid especially exodites anyone who says exodites is gay.

Alternate thread question:

Who is the most OC coldsteel marine character? Submit, we take bets and then make a strawpoll. No horus heresy allowed.

>>96760523 (OP)
The answer is zoats. It's always zoats.

>TQ
Traitor Guard, the Darktide minis are good and I'd love to see a full range.

>>96760523 (OP)
>TQ
Thousand Sons. They don't even have their own terminator sorceror lords. They need to build them themselves like peasants

>>96760523 (OP)
Kroot. They are halfway there anyway. Just refresh Knarlocs
Lost and the Damned are in a similar situation

>>96760553
darktide minis are just the traitor guard sprue. I have it.

>>96760546
(You)r dudes, ofcourse.

>>96760546
Tyberos the Red Wake. Literally sits in darkness watching a giant space shark.

>>96760558
>AI slop

>TQ
Grey Knights and Dark Eldar are the main ones.

>>96760514
DO NOT. I do this because I really enjoy the kitbashing process and thankfully have the resources. It is ABSOLUTELY not worth it to do this for the average person. Wait for the update.

Also was looking at my codex again and something pissed me right off. GW still using the old FW upgrade kits on Land Raiders and flyers. EITHER DON'T USE THEM OR SELL THEM REEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>96760575
Do you think he fucks it like The Deep fucks the octopus in The Boys?

>>96760579

Theyve been a major faction since 2nd edition. I forgive you for not knowing that.

>>96760585
Space marines will never fuck.

>>96760577
?

>>96760594
oh I misread that rofl... then I'd say Lost and the Damned

>>96760523 (OP)

I'd like to see chaos cultist scrapped away from their space marine overlords

Something chaos but please no fucking marines in it.

>>96760546
That TS that is a more powerful psyker than ahriman and has a deldar companion for some reason

>>96760546

Arbites would be a fun mini-faction akin to Kroot or Harlequins.

>>96760629
It's his larper, real EC is gone, he doesn't even post on his reddit. I really hope he offed himself after the sharty hack

>>96760627
>wide margin
He's not that fat

god i hate elves

any real reason to get Chaos Chosen and not just use Legionaries? at least havocs are thicker

I feel like it would make the most sense if the Tau were located next to an usually high density of forge worlds, and that's why you see so many titans deployed against them on even minor skirmishes.

>>96760558
is there any explanation given as to why kroot are even considered a skirmish threat let alone a credible fighting force?
they are just skinnier, less aggressive orks

>>96760653
get 30k shit and convert them into whatever it is you need for chaos instead of just buying the 40k range straight.

>>96760546
definitely tyberos

Nah, he never left.
Edge very recently posted his sanguinary guard model and has posted that one harlequin model too.

>>96760664
That’s the plan i got the Combat Force and some Chaos Legionaries so I can at least mix some bits
30 Legionaries does seem excessive so I figure some of them could be used as chosen

>>96760677
That harlequin was not his, we found a reddit of the guy, Shut the fuck up and stop giving the dead faggot attention

>>96760660
Tau are one of the worst written factions by far. They're cursed to be in stories where their opponent is hit with the retard ray or they are hit with the retard ray. I'm also starting to hate them because of that one guy who avatarfags with those shitty femboy tau pictures but that's not the Tau's fault.

>>96760662
they're physically almost on par with orks, but also a lot smarter

lads i heard a rumour that GW are looking into ditching the medieval era scribe's inkwell paint pots and instead offering modern era acrylic dropper bottles?
anyone know?

>>96760523 (OP)
why was the community site taken out of the OP?

>>96760601
He is talking about how awful that art is. Not that kroot don’t exist.

>>96760662
Them being skinny in their most popular form is supposed to be deceiving, they are surprisingly strong due to muscle density or some shit like this. There was this story where some kroot fought marine lieutenant in melee combat and bested him like this, marine had to pull a gun on him to win.
They are smart, agile, extremely adaptive obviously, collectivist and so eager to sacrifice themselves if need be etc

Only thing that really fucks them over is their kaczynski worldview cucking them out of technology

>>96760683
It was his, it had the same exact background as his other models.

>>96760675
>hating on the rentry page
That's pretty pathetic OP

>>96760745
yeah, art is super weird, but nothing about it looks like AI. No AI can still as accurately portray niche stuff from some trademarked IP to the point that it tracks it all accurately even in background

No sane person would post their models or any other identifiable information here, that's why it's all schizos

I hate elves, also my penis is small. Coincidence? You decide.

>>96760766
actual schizophrenia

>>96760773
I post them here and sometimes on reddit, I don't give a fuck. What are the schizos gonna do, post my reddit username here? lmao

Are there any laser pointers that I can mount onto my airbrush so I can see exactly where I'm aiming?

What’s the actual appeal of kroot? There’s more kroot minis than there are of world eaters

>>96760690
I think if gw was doing this they would likely just buy a new paint factory. Changing bottle sizes and types is such a pain in the ass on filler machines, and can cost a lot to tune if you want them running as fast as possibl. The way bottling machines work they would have to go through every single part of their line and adjust literally every measurement, and that's if their current equipment even fits the new bottles. Then they've got to buy new equipment, troubleshoot all of the adjustments and timings and proportions. All of that needs to be done in a way that doesn't interrupt production. There's tonnes of strange little things you need to work out before you have a closed, filled, labeled bottle exiting the line that doesn't leak, and doesn't have anything on the outside of it. Some stuff is super hard to control, like the quality control on the bottles, caps and nibs are dogshit because they come from China in bulk. All it takes is a bottle with a slightly wrinkled top, or small dent to cause the nozzles to miss the opening, and spill a little bit of paint onto the convertor and then every bottle coming off the line after that likely needs to be wiped clean by hand before labeling until you can stop the machine.

>>96760761
I find it funny that Kroot had FT and are implied to have formerly had a full space empire that they don't really tell the Tau about

>>96760804
No but you could like ziptie one to it. You'd need to make sure it's one with a fairly tight lens so it doesn't just light up your whole miniature and it'd need to be low power in order for yiu to see stuff

>>96760791
You're not subtle about your deflecting.

>>96760807
Cool tribal aliens as opposed to more red angry space marines

>>96760684
General speaking the matchups tend to go like this:

>Fighting Guard
Tau fight intelligently, Guard fight intelligently, the Guard loses cause they're not equipped to fight a modern force

>Fighting Space Marines
Either both fight intelligently or the Tau act like retards so that the Space Marines can be glazed more (like 1 million Firewarriors being needed to fight 100 Space Marines that one time)

>Fighting Orks
They fight smart...usually, Orks fight like Orks. The exception is with Farsight, who fights like a retard but gets away with it cause of plot armor.

>Fighting Necrons/Dark Eldar/Eldar
Tau are just there to get bodied, I don't think they even have any recorded victories against them, which is both fair but also kinda bullshit since it's not like the Imperium hasn't had some victories.

>Tyranids
Both fight pretty smart, and it's one of the few times you actually see them ally with the Imperium

>Fightingi Chaos
The Tau tend to get a major nerf whenever this happens and not for particularly good reasons either, daemons might be resistant to material weapons but they're not immune to them like they tend to get portrayed when the Tau are fighting them.

Lascannons are so cool. The phobos sniper guys are really sick, but I do somewhat wish we had a primaris heavy lascannon unit with either underslung or shoulder mounted, vehicle sponson sized lascannons. Fort turned out sweet. Anymore plans for terrain?

Yeah, I'm gonna make the rest of the pieces from this old gem. Should be easier and faster than the fort too.

>>96760953
No I think those guys are absolutely sick. I just like the silhouette of the huge lascannon. Even if they stuck them on Gravis dudes or something it'd be sweet

I wonder if anyone has a scan of that backdrop for you

>>96760977
I was thinking of painting it myself. Been like a decade since I last put paint on canvas, kinda looking forward to it.

>>96760967
Sounds like you want centurions. (Pardon the gaps, these were like the 2nd model kit I ever built)

>>96760968
Nah it'll be fine. Just don't be mean, pretend everything you see is the coolest thing until you actually get tight with people. We had a few years post pandemic where people were still more hesitant to play with strangers but it seems like it's just about back to normal now. Also ask the manager if they could set up a whiteboard calendar or something for pickup games, or a discord group for organizing stuff

>>96760822
If that were true somebody would have already found one of our regular posters and done that. If you never piss anyone off no one cares.

>>96760991
Nobody wants centurions.

>>96760968
My lgs owner said I had an attitude because I asked questions about the price increase a couple weeks ago. I didnt understand how it made sense to increase the price on stock he acquired before GW's price jack.
He just kept repeating
"cost is incurred at point of sale"
"cost is incurred at point of sale"
Like that makes any fucking sense.

>>96760990
That sounds super fun, is it just in that one picture that they used that backdrop or are their more references?
>>96760991
I always forget these guys can take lascannons, anytime I think of them I think about those big grinder fists that look like steam mops. Honestly yeah. I'd love for new scaled up centurions.

>>96761076
I think a lot of the paintanons have probably bumped into at least one other at some point but likely just acknowledged it was them and kept walking/scrolling. I've seen at least 9-10 paintanons elsewhere online, and 2 in person.

There's a pretty funny codex blurb about the Kroot defeating an initial invasion from the Sautekh Dynasty but then they decide to eat the Necrons for some reason, which causes a nano-scarab plague

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>96760875
There's fluff about a Thousand Sons warband invading a Sept in order to steal a relic scepter. But the Tau have been studying it for months and they fight them off with special battle suits and pulse carbines that shoot what's presumably warp energy. Pretty wild stuff that will never be followed up on

>>96761203
>Pretty wild stuff that will never be followed up on
And that's good because it encourages people to make their own narratives and conversions

On a side note which legion heretic or loyalist do you consider the most spooky/Halloween themed?

>>96761275
They have implants that download the basics of imperial language alongside a bunch of other stuff. They don’t speak it well but most firewarriors can read gothic. It’s how they get around having such short lifespans and speeds up training.

The Tau and Eldar beg to differ.

>>96761323
>the best tanks in the galaxy
even as a guard player I wouldnt believe that bullshit lol

>>96761377
Damn, looks great.

>>96761323
The Guard is cost-efficient, but not particularly 'good'. They emphasize quantity over quality. And for a while this did work against a lot of enemies.

The problem is that none of the factions that are still around have the 'drown them in bodies' strategy work against them all that well. The Eldar have a lot of mobility and can move their entire Craftworld to another location, the Orks literally create more Orks by dying, the Tyranids will just eat the corpses you're throwing at them as well as their own corpses to make more Tyranids, the Necrons just regenerate and come back with endless waves of robots, the Tau have heavy firepower and a lot of mobility so they just shoot and scoot whenever the human waves get too close or they target your logistics instead, Chaos has functionally infinite amount of daemons to throw at you, etc.

>>96761381
>>96761382
To be fair he qualified the statement with ease of manufacture, which doesn't seem to be wrong.

The literally run on anything and don't need supply lines, and there will be 7 to 1. The panzer was great but it died to a bunch of shittier tanks with better numbers, supply lines. The Russ needs no supply lines and its mass producable and can be manned by chimps. Its insanely OP in the fluff. Yes Tau have a range advantage, but Leman Russ have a better save and toughness. When the Tau win its not because of a tech advantage, its always because of the retard ray, or a reconnaissance advantage in the story. Guard just attack move and the tau encircle and obliterate the retard ray NPCs. When guard win its literally always because they got into melee and shovel memes

>>96761038
Finished the magnetizing this morning

>>96761429
>The panzer was great but it died to a bunch of shittier tanks with better numbers, supply lines
Oh you have no idea what you're talking about, post discarded.

>>96761433
why do you play custodes?

>>96761435
please elaborate instead of being pompous. you don't think you can draw an analogy between a hammerhead and a wwii panzer for 40k tank technology?

>>96761421
>Right up until they started using big mechs that they shat on the Imperium for having.
Tbf there actually is a logical reason for that.

Once the Imperium started losing Titans to Tigersharks, they started surrounding those Titans with loads of anti-air to protect them. So the Tau decided that they needed a ground vehicle that could also take out a Titan as well. So they built the Stormsurge, a Knight-sized mech that can eliminate a Titan-sized mech.

All in all it's still very efficient since you have vastly smaller mechs specialized to take out vastly larger ones.

>>96761323
The real inefficient problem with the Guard is how fucked their command structure is on purpose. Combined arm regiments dont exist, its literally just tank regiments, infantry regiments, etc. So you have to coordinate different regiments to get shit done, which makes things inefficient

>>96761408
>he qualified the statement with ease of manufacture
Anon, Eldar sing their tanks into existence from literally nothing.
Imagine going to a K-Pop concert but each song is actually manifesting a part of a tank into reality that then assembles itself on stage, and during the finale the performers climb into it and use the main gun (which is a giant crystal), to disintegrate a statue of Satan as a test firing.
Eldar are beyond "Ease of manufacturing"

>>96761446
why not

>>96761435
anon is right though, a tank with no gas and no screening is dead weight. though I think Tau vehicles don't need to refuel either but it's probably not been discussed. the russ is constantly glazed for its robustness and amazing sci fi engine

>>96761429
Imperium tanks are like the T-34, while Tau tanks are like the Sherman. Both were mass manufactured, but because the Sherman was produced by a modern nation-state while the T-34 was produced by a shitty communist state, the Sherman was able to have quality AND quantity on its side.

>>96761391
>Eldar have a lot of mobility and can move their entire Craftworld to another location
And thus it's no longer a problem.
>Necrons just regenerate and come back with endless waves of robots
If damaged enough, they'll have to phase out back to their tomb world, so they're no longer a problem.
>Tau have heavy firepower and a lot of mobility so they just shoot and scoot whenever the human waves get too close or they target your logistics instead
If they just keep backing away, they end up giving more ground. They also don't like to lose a lot of people while manpower is the one resource the Imperium is not in short supply of.
>Chaos has functionally infinite amount of daemons to throw at you
That need to be summoned into reality and cannot venture far from a Warp source. Also, by the time daemons start showing up, so will more dedicated daemon fighting units.

what do you think the lord commanders obscurus, tempestus, pacificus, and ultima are like

Tau/Guard engagements should really be about Tau equipment superiority against a force with good enough equipment to be threatening but with commanders much more willing to commit to ruthless arithmetic when it comes to expending manpower and other clashing doctrinal ideas.

>>96761453
that's how it works irl though. you attach a mechanized asset from a tank division to an infantry division when you need combined arms then separate them for training and resupply purposes. a tank and infantry regiment are gonna travel the galaxy in the same boat.

>>96761435
Panzer IV had a great gun but a dated chassis. Panther was fast, had good traverse, a great gun, but a shitty transmission. Tiger had good armor for the beginning of the war but it lost that advantage late war to sloped armor tanks and was too slow to get out of its own way near the end. And I like German tanks

OK but why don't Tau have artillery anyway

In any case the comparison is stupid since it's more like a late cold war tank vs a WW2 tank, not different generations of tanks during the same war.

Mmmm, I dunno, reddit told me that isn't what would happen.

>>96761433
isn't it canon that a single Custodes could defeat the armies of an entire planet on their own?

>>96761452
For a race with superior tactics, they sure have fallen for the same trap as the dumb Imperium and just using bigger and bigger weapons to take out other big weapons, rather than myriad of perfectly fine tactics to counter titans.

Story
I liked the termis so I got a box
Then a dude on reddit wanted to trade more termis+bikes for tzeentch stuff and I said why not, they were fun and I had tons of tzeentch
Then I thought the dreads were cool, so I got some too. Again, why not?
Then I saw Sigmar toad conversions, and that was cool
Then I realized I just needed 2 boxes of guys to make a 2k army.
I've probably played them 3 times but they are a nice compact display army and the magnets are just in case I ever use them.

>>96761496
Its also canon that norn emissaries can fuck them up and that Drazhar once killed three simultaneously

>>96761478
>And thus it's no longer a problem.
Unless your goal was to destroy the Craftworld, in which case you just failed.

>If damaged enough, they'll have to phase out back to their tomb world, so they're no longer a problem.
Unless their tomb world is the world you're living on, in which is a it is a problem.

>If they just keep backing away, they end up giving more ground. They also don't like to lose a lot of people while manpower is the one resource the Imperium is not in short supply of.
Unless the planet is a sphere, in which case they can just keep retreating endlessly since chasing them means you followed them in a circle. And also the Tau may not be as numerous as the Imperium in total numbers, but they're much more 'dense' in their population per planet, so in any given conflict they probably have more men to throw at the problem.

The guy who designed the Soviet factories also designed the factories in Detroit. The Soviets hired him to modernize their industry and factories doubling as military factories was baked into the design. Reason the Sherman had the shit engineered out of it is because it had to operate on the other size of the globe with minimal support. Everything had to work and be easy to repair. Germany and USSR could just ship tanks to factories to get repaired. Over the course of the war, the Soviets crunched the numbers and simplified the T-34 design to maximize production. Both sides played to their strengths.

Exactly. The Soviets had to work with inferior industry so they made a tank that could work fine with those limitations. Not putting a radio in your tank isn't a tactical decision based on everything going great, it's the sort of thing you do when you can't afford to put radios in your tanks.

That's not for taking out Titans. That's basically just a mobile artillery platform that they use defensively. Since you don't want to retreat for a Sept full of trillions of civilians, it's in their interest to have a bigger mech that they can use as a big fuckoff gun to blow up hordes of infantry with.

>>96761421
You guys are clueless. The Stormsurges and big suits were in development before the T'au met the Imperium. Source is Blades of Damocles.

Most the modern Tau suits were in early prototype phase during the Damocles Crusade. The guy awakening Kais in "War of Secrets" was shocked that the 200+ warrior knew what the Ghostkell was. despite the suits only being revealed recently.

A legitimately evil faction that isn’t evil due to angst like most chaos marines, or just a monster like other xenos is pretty cool
They are a millennia old culture that has become so twisted in their debauchery that in a way they created their own hell
They’re so evil in their existence as an evil culture that it goes beyond reason which is always the funnest part in 40K.

>>96761663
>so I can deploy more dudes to the ground you just retreated from
It's very rare for the Imperium, even for the Guard, to have so many infantry that they're able to cover every piece of ground in them. Typically even in major conflicts you tend to see surprisingly limited numbers of Guardsmen deployed, and certainly not enough to cover the surface of the planet.

>You run long enough and you'll hit all the guys you just ran away from standing there where you ran away from.
Good? That's the point. If you stop chasing them, they move in and start shooting at you again.

>They had trouble gathering troops for the 4th Sphere Expansion and they've had two more since then
The fact that they're able to have a 5th and a 6th sphere expansion going on at the same time right after 90% of the 4th sphere expansion was wipe out would suggest they are not particularly short of manpower.

>And only one of their five castes does the fighting.
Yes but 20% of your population doing the fighting is fucking huge compared to basically any other civilization in history and they have Gue'vesa, Galgs, Kroot, Vespids, Tarellians, Vorgh, and other alien auxiliaries to fill up their ranks as well.

Maugan heard of a superb eldar blacksmith that did better weapons than everyone else. So he forced him to make the gun, then he summoned an avatar and stabbed him with the gun so the gun could be infused with the power of the avatar. Then he blinded the blacksmith so he couldn't make another weapon as good.

Yes this is canon. He's that edgy.

>>96761785
That's fair, and almost certainly the meta reason. But if I'm gonna make an in-lore reason for it, we do know that the Tau area of space is unusually dense in habitable planets, and they know how to create continent-sized space habitats for their Air Caste, and they know how to terraform worlds to become more livable, and they have ecumenopolises with populations in the trillions.

All those things combined would suggest an empire that, while obviously very much lacking in the sheer expanse of territory the Imperium has, is nonetheless able to call upon way more resources and soldiers than you would expect such a tiny area to have.

Do cite said lore.

Salamanders visit families (you know, mothers, fathers, siblings) and while SW are known for womanizing, there's no examples of them having kids since becoming Marines. It's also clearly said Marines (and Custodes) are incapable of procreating.

This is the important part.

It's a giant gun that's used mostly statically. It's basically a slightly mobile turret. It might be able to blow up big things, but the reason it itself is big is because it's not supposed to be used in offensive warfare. They're not sending it to take worlds, they waddle it over to where they want long-range firepower.

Just like to put out there that I did not respond to my detractors because I am being the bigger person to show my dedication to thread quality.

>>96762067
It's a difference of tactics. The Tau use their mech as a big turret, they aren't charging across an open field with it when the enemy has air superiority.

They're not even half the size of a warlord titan

>>96762075
Yeah, a lot of the fun about the Tau is realizing that it's incredibly easy for the Imperium to frame a loss as a win just by re-phrasing the context.

Honestly it kinda makes me wonder if that's how the Imperium reacts in-setting as well. It would seem incredibly in-character for the Imperium to categorize a Forge World's strategic value as absolute, and then after losing it say "Well we didn't even care about that world anyways."

Who's cooler? Ultramarines or Black Templars?

Jesus Christ, retards, it's literally what the designers themselves said:
>GAV THORPE: This is Warhammer 40,000 - nobody is as shiny as they first seem! As a bit of an analog for late 20th century / early 21st century western interventionist culture I've always assumed that the Greater Good is ultimately for the benefit of the T'au and if others get something out of that's just a bonus. The fact that they are even willing to work with other species is pretty unique and progressive among the factions of 40K, rather than rampant genocidal, xenophobic armies. The thing about the Great Good is that it is, in the long term, as inflexible and authoritarian as the Imperial Creed or the all-consuming Tyranids. It still comes down to the Greater Good or Death (tm). I've tried not to make it too sinister being within the T'au sphere, though in the original Apocalypse book I introduced a variety of NATO-style innocuous three-letter-acronym formations, like Mobilized Hunter cadre, Dispersed Retaliation Cadre and Forward Commitment Contingent. None of them say 'battle' or 'war'... I can imagine the news back home is quite a sanitized version of the reality - like when we watched videos of 'smart' bombs and gun cameras blowing up stuff in Iraq but were totally unaware of what was really happening on the ground.

Shocker. And I don't care about what point Gav Thorpe was trying to make, it adds the mildest character to your faction that the leaders use doublespeak to make war more palatable to the other castes.

Gav Thorpe is a contrarian retard. Anything his blighted hands touch should be considered unclean. Any that leave words his mouth, poison. Eldarfags hate him, DAfags hate him, Taufags hate him. In time, Votanfags will learn to hate him as well. Seeing his name on one of your faction's novels is like the kiss of fucking death.

>>96762306
Nta but what makes him a tau avatarfag and not just someone posting about tau right now

>>96762314
He's just using it as an excuse to get Tau female pics instead.

>>96762311
>Anything his blighted hands touch should be considered unclean.
I do agree that aliens are unclean.

>open up a list-builder to see how many points of the current edition I have
>almost all the non-bespoke Death Guard units have been "legends"
This shit is mad gay. I guess I should count myself lucky I can still take a rhino?
Is 10th even worth playing?

>>96762314
I'm assuming the guy arguing about Tau while posting similar Tau pictures in a series of one long argument is the same person because I have spent too long here and am now mentally unwell.

I stand by the call.

>>96762335
You've actually been arguing with two different people. I never made the argument that the Titans were dumb because they were big, for example.

>>96762333
>Should I still play 10th
No you should play my homebrew instead

>>96762333
Hasn't that been the case since 8th for DG?

>>96762075
I like the one where they keep trying to figure out who the emperor is, like first they thought it was a space marine chapter master, then when they met a custode they thought it was one of them, so on and so forth.
I'll have to try and find that piece of fluff again

I lost one of my bladeguard. Decided to make a new one. Cable is way too thick but I’m gonna keep it anyway.

Eldar > Tau
Tau only live 40-50 years, you'd have to swap concubines out eventually
Eldar live 1000+ years, she'll live long enough that your grandson can keep her around

>>96762365
>Tau only live 40-50 years, you'd have to swap concubines out eventually
With imperial rejunvination technology i'm gonna make my family tree look like a line.

>>96762267
Grey Knights are similarly elite, though Dreadknights can be bulky.

>>96762370
>Wasting rejuv resources on a xenos
You'd have an easier time breaking in an Eldar.

Since there's a few tau players here, can I get some insight on the best detachment for running breachers

The grand narrative server for this year just opened up, so I took some a couple pics of my army to post.

Here's the 21st Hexian Hellions.

>>96762379
Nah, the rejuv is for me, i think i mixed up my alabama family tree terminology

>>96762385
And here's some of their snipers

>>96762381
I would be interested too, anon
I looked and none of them seemed that impressive for my dream of 60 shotguns in boats

>>96762363
>he assembled a model that is holding something close to it's chest before painting
oh no oh no oh no anon

>>96762385
What grand narrative?

>>96762393
I’m not that stupid. I have it fit very well.

>>96762389
are these guys fighting in hawaii with that camo or what

>>96762385
>>96762389
awesome stuff anon

>>96762359
Dudes be like "Hah, idiot Tau think they killed the God-Emperor, but it was just a Primarch"

>>96762401
They're deploying to Vice City.

>>96762356
No 8th had a bunch of generic CSM stuff but without the special DG rules. 9th had the best support with all of the CSM stuff having adjusted statlines and DG abilities.

>>96761452
I get the idea behind the Stormsurge, but losing the flexibility that even the Riptide had in redeployment seems like an abandonment of important tactical principles.

It's a kinda brinkmanship that I don't like. I would have preferred they not exceed the Riptide's '10' size.

Really like the look of tau and I think alien auxiliaries are cool, but I can't fucking stand women.

>>96762311
>Votanfags will learn to hate him as well
I'm sure they already do, nobody talks about the votann novel he did

>>96762202
>gav thorpe claims he loves eldar
>andy law says that gav thorpe hates elves
I just assume that Thorpe lies when he opens his mouth.

vostroyan range when

>>96762397
very based

>>96762461
When guard sells more than space marines

>>96762439
>t.

Would you have liked the Eightbound more if they looked more demonic like the Possessed?

>>96762461
gitz will be a full range in 40k before that happens.

Random question: I thought for years, maybe decades, that the quote was "suffer not the demon to live". But upon googling it, it appears the quote only exists for "mutant", "unclean", "heretic", and "alien". Am I just stupid and made it up, or does that version show up somewhere?

We are mainstream again

>>96762359
>I like the one where they keep trying to figure out who the emperor is, like first they thought it was a space marine chapter master, then when they met a custode they thought it was one of them
this isn't even true, when they killed the raven guard chapter master they thought they killed the king of the space marines. which isn't even an inaccurate description.

okay i think i finally painted this speeder correctly ! im pleased with how it came out ....i just need to base it and its done !

>>96762506
Looks like you’ve got the basics down. Now you should shade it.

>>96762496
>again
>not still
Wew lad that ship sailed long ago

>>96762506
>paint so thick the crew is drowning in their gorgets

>>96762506
Looks great. One thing you can try is basecoating the whole model in your midtone, then going through and painting your shade/wash only into the recesses. Then drybrush your midtone to smooth out any transitions. This gives you a shading effect without having to worry about cofeestaining as much, because your drybrush step will help smooth out all your flat surfaces. Good work picking out the eyes though! These style helmets have notoriously tiny eyes.

>>96762557
Looks like excess glue imo. Takes a while for some beginners to get used to how much glue to apply

>>96762250
I dunno if no one having anything to say about him is a good or bad thing.

>>96762574
Tbf 4chan flips out at anything slightly damaging to their headcanon. If it was even somewhat off you would know about it.

>>96762506
Eh, normally I wouldn't fuss much but you really need to slow down a little. The heads fusing with the chests is way too much paint (or glue?) and there's a lot of overspill.

You may also have missed a spot in the driver's view-port.

Otherwise it's not offensive. Put a little something on the base and I'd say you get your painted points.

Really though, just slow down a bit dude. Just a little patience will go a long way in learning and improving.

>>96762506
When spraying you want to be doing an almost flick lick moment with your wrist to ensure you don't get build up.
Multiple passess are much safer than if you were to just going over with one slow pass.

I love my big red wife magnus the red

Female Space Marines are coming whether you like it or not and also some "sanitation" of the universe. In the new White Dwarf the iconic quote was changed to remove "these men", "muscles", "guns" and of course "mankind". Welcome sisters.

>>96762506
It honestly looks good, could use more trim and transfer sheets except those two guys drowning on their own filth

>>96762638
>look mom I posted it again!

>>96762638
Why would GW go after wokebux when it's the Year of the Chud?

>>96762643
People like you who hide their heads in the sand are the scum of the earth.

>>96762638
I'll give you the change from "men"
"sinew" is a weird change
I prefer "weapons" to "guns"

>>96762506
I’d dry brush it a lil bit with something steely and maybe edge brush it here and there too.

>>96762661
Change from men is pretty obvious. At least the intent behind it. They probably consider "muscle" as toxic masculinity and guns, well we can't talk about those in the year 2025.

>>96762660
sorry people aren't engaging with your bait in earnest :(

elves >:(

>>96762638
all three versions are bad and could use another pass to clean up the cringey language

>>96762676
Explain how pointing out changes to a iconic quote from the setting is bait. What, we can't talk about it? It hurts your feelings or something? Are you that weak and fragile that talking about changes hurts you? Lmao. Get over it.

96762693
>umad xD
thank you for admitting it

>>96762638
The most absurd notion of GW actually going through the effort to make woman space marines, is that they'd waste production runs on heads for marines when all they need to do is imply they exist and people will happily throw money away on kits that already have female faces.

Until that one Custodes lady gets even a fucking PROMO figure, this is all just soulless corporate adjustments for Warhammer 'being for everyone'.

>>96762638
Muscle and sinew mean the same thing and guns are weapons

>>96762481
I'd have just preferred unique terminators

>>96762454
He's still a better writer than Brooks.

>>96762638
>Female Space Marines are coming
They're here and they're called the sisters of battle

tempted to just wordfilter "female" on /tg/ and see how it goes

>>96762394
The big GW one they do each year.
>>96762408
Thanks
>>96762410
Pretty much, meant to be basically sunset camo. The planet they're from is very Miami inspired, and has sunsets/sunrises that last a really long time since it spins slow.

>>96762737
Fuck off whore

>>96762638
Female space marines are honestly not even that bad or lore breaking compared to Primaris. We've already set the house on fire, what's a couple more matches?

>>96762755
>replying to your own shitty bait with shittier bait

>>96762737
It's funny that in RT they were organized along the lines of Marines and were clearly meant to be the female versions of them with certain differences like acting as religious enforcers and lacking augments.

>>96762755
They're not going to waste the matches. If they can make money doing nothing they'll be thrilled to do that instead of having to spend a single pound.

GW is absolutely terrified of upsetting the marine fanbase as they desperately depend on keeping that golden goose happily feeding. They're not going to make any major changes to the faction identity all at once. Anything they do change is going to be very slow and gradual over many years.

>>96762496
Glip dropped his green :(

>>96762800
Tbf last time they fucked the marines up they made gangbusters on them so who fucking knows?

>>96762737
Sisters of Battle are so awesome that FlashGitz have ended up really liking them and ranking them high on their tierlists

>>96762807
Funnily enough it was also Conrad who started to despise the Nightlords for all the torture murder

>>96762800
But no one cares about CSM fans
We will eat up femoid marines by Fabius damnit

>>96762827
What? Isn't he king torture man? That makes no sense.

>>96762761
>lacking augments.
>IG veterans and at least millions of IG with some implant, augment, or robot limb
>but not sisters
Dang purity of human form obsession

>>96762832
Would it be cringe to paint pussies on my emperor's children?

>>96762481
Are Eightbound the only marine models that have been shown without the torso armor to show off the power armor sockets?
The recent Space Wolves Killteam has sleeveless marines showing off some sockets

>>96762844
It would be fitting

>>96762844
Their Primarch did it so why not?

>>96762819
FlashGitz are religious right wingers so of course they love both Sisters of Battle and Black Templars. Both of those armies are right wing coded and the nastier GW makes them the more their players love them to (probably) the surprise of GW or maybe not, maybe that's the intended result. Eldar pander to LGBTQWERTY+ while BT and SoB pander to conservatives.

>>96762844
it'd be the same as drilling but holes in your space wolves.

>>96762866
?? But the power armor covers the booty

>>96762755
I am less mad about Primaris marines than I am about Primaris Vehicles. They're so dumb and where most of the lore breaking starts to hurt the integrity of the setting.

>>96762838
Conrad was a self hating schizo

>>96762879
I dont like that they gave space marines stubbers. That's stupid. I also dont like how fuck huge the repulsor is.

>>96762838
Nta but Curze used fear tactics on the worst of the worst to make other human monsters think twice before they commit something horrible. Night Lords were supposed to be recruited from the best Nostromo had to offer but due to Curze's absence the planet got reclaimed by the mafia and gangs and they started sending the worst out of the worst. Serial killers and the like to become Night Lords. Curze didn't notice what was happening in time and it was too late, his Legion was full of murderhobos who only wanted more murderhobos. He nuked the planet threw a fit and went insane. He was also plagued by horrific visions because he was a potent psyker and as a kid he had to resort to cannibalism and by doing that he gained the genetic memory of all the people he ate and he only ate the worst kind of people so now this kid has vivid flashes of murder, rape and torture and feels like he is the one doing it so he started doing it for real. His novel is pretty interesting. Worth a read.

>>96762876
that's what the drill is for.

What warhammer gw approved dice should I buy?

>Thousand sons - new ones with the eye of tzeentch
>Drukhari - new ones with the snake
>Drukhari - Old teal ones with the drukhari heart.

>>96762901
Just like real life fr fr

>>96762898
the repulsor is smaller than the vehicle it failed to replace

>>96762913
I dont like how big land raiders are either. Both a shit. Knights cool tho, but not space marines. Repulsor executioner is cool.

>>96762800
>They're not going to make any major changes
They already did.

>>96762909
I personally love the Black Templar ones and World Eater ones. The snake is a symbol of Malys so if you want that whore as your waifu its not the worst idea. Teal ones are Vect and probably more neutral.

>>96762920
Knights look goofy, only the Chaos one with bendy knees looks good.

>>96762936
I got lucky and got the world eater ones so I wanted to get a contrasting pair
>Snake is the symbol of Malys
Huh, that sounds cool. I think I might go for those.
Although the teal ones also have more overall dice. hmm

>>96762946
Honestly I would get ones that fit my army. If you have Tsons the Tzeentch ones are great. If you play Drukhari and are a fan of Malys you might get those. The teal ones are Kabal of the Black Heart and more neutral for Drukhari. Malys dice are pretty specific. They are also going to release Ultramarine dice with their new Combat Patrol.

>>96762964
>Honestly I would get ones that fit my army.
Yeah I'd love to get dice for all my armies but unfortunately they sell out fast.
I have both tsons and also really got into drukhari lately with some fun ideas so Im excited for them too.

I hate dwarves

Baron of dice exist, just a reminder. If there’s a place with cheaper dice that are still thematic I also would like to be informed on them.

>>96762849
i think there are some EC models that have the sockets showing near the upper arms and thighs

>>96762973
If you have Tsons I would get the Tson dice since you already have WE dice. One set of melee dice, on set of magic dice.

>>96762977
fuck ON destinyfag

>>96762986
Baron of dice is kinda trash right now. There are a lot of complaints about them, their quality and their customer service.

I like heat axes.

>>96763012
I have both tsons and drukhari is what Im saying, and both dice are blue with yellow symbols so I didnt wanna get two of the same kinds.

Im disappointed. Not with female custodians, but that the first custodian model is from a fucking shitty mobile game ( not even one with good art like the card games, well middling art) before the table top proper.

>>96763032
Yeah.

>>96763069
lmao

>>96763051
Isn't that the one from the Tithes series?

>>96763064
Why did you make your marine christmas themed

>>96763051
Isn't that the Tithe girl? She looks fat here.

>>96763077
This. He should've made his Custodes Christmas themed.

>>96763076
>>96763078
is she? Well I guess thats whatever then.

Ahriman is cuter and more breedable anyways.

>>96762909
If you use dice that have a unique symbol for both 1 and 6 I will kill you

>>96763078
She doesn't even think about you, human. She's so far beyond you its laughable you think she cares whether or not she looks attractive to you.

>>96763099
She's a woman, of course she cares what people think of her. Especially whether they think she looks fat or not.

>>96763099
She will always be a woman and she will always care what a male thinks about her.

>>96763099
“She’s” not real

This picture makes anon unhappy.

>>96763114
She's a post-human woman. She's as far away from you as you are from an ant. You can't even conceive it.

Is the Rhino about the same size as an Impulsor? The chassis that is, I imagine the greebling makes it bigger regardless.

alright 40kg frens got both my speeders dry brushed and ready to be put away. ill likely do their base decorations tomorrow but for now theyre both finished !

>>96763169
It makes me happy. When I was a kid I had a whole book of such illustrations and I would stare at it for hours. Old sci-fi art was amazing.

>>96763169
Oh shit what chapter is that?

>>96763169
Thats actually cool. I wish space marines were just normal sized dudes in actually cool sci fi armor and not abominations.

>>96763181

Its actually really fucked up because childhood trauma really does create monsters. Kids who were beaten, tortured or raped have a super high likely hood of having ideations of committing those acts themselves. Its the victim abuser cycle. By being inflicted with all this insane trauma he was genuinely fucked with no hope. And he had a genetically engineered super brain so it was probably 100 times worse because his eidetic super brain couldnt forget anything or work past any of the trauma.

Unironcally I like how LoV tap into whatever aesthetic you call these early 2000s toys scheme. Like its a specific look but I don't think it has a name

>>96763580
Last time I did it I got a slightly lower but similar quality. Then I zoomed way the fuck in and thought "the dividing line between colours is too sharp" so I mixed something halfway and tried to obfuscate the divide. That ended up just flattening the whole thing out into that mid-range colour and almost losing the blend effect entirely. So I just had to remind myself to not overcorrect, and pull back from my up close squint to judge the effect.

The texture on this one is a little rough from pushing paint around with the brush. I think maybe thinning with medium instead of water might help with that

>>96763326
It's nowhere near battle ready. It looks like it fell into a paint can.
