I don't think tyranids are comparable to boys and orks are comparable to girls in this scenario
That said looted nids is an ancient concept
>No-one is asking for boy flavours of Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty is a product brand with no real social aspect to it which is the main point here, again I point you towards >>96803865. We are just in 2nd, maybe beginning of 3rd generation step of transferring to a more unisex society, so yes social activities are bound to have more women in them, sooner or later, its just the reality of things we cannot change much. It will eventually stop at a point of equilibrium and frankly speaking I think 40k has already mostly approached it and momentum has/will slow down

>>96803870

I'm now imagining it for him or 40K got an anime adaptation, it would all be weird. Fringe questionably Canon shit with bizarre interpretations like catboy and half-Eldar agents of horse head inquisitor with an animal skull AdMech priest operating out of a space hostel hosted by orangutans.

>>96804187
>40K got an anime adaptation
It would be focused on a single Guardsman through a campaign to defend a planet from a Chaos uprising, showing certain aspects of 40k through a more 'grounded' view. Marines would appear on both sides and be shown as equally terrifying, some of the cultists would be shown as being unaware of the Chaos fanatics manipulating the uprising and have valid points about the Imperium being awful (only to be broadly executed before the MC's eyes), AdMech would be shown as esoteric and unnerving to deal with, and over time members of the MC's squad would be slowly and tragically killed off until only him and one other (either a love interest or a best bro) are alive, at which point the MC sacrifices himself to save the other in a way that's initially emotional and tragic but is quickly swept aside to show that only the other squad member really cares, as the battle the squad sacrificed so much to win was ultimately a tiny victory amidst the campaign and the squad is simply written off as one among the untold many who died along the way.

i am tired of:

it is also a hammer
i hear you do weird things to your sons

What fucking autism is going on here, ESL shit everywhere

>>96804247
I blame Europooreans

>>96804238
No wolves on fenris is actually interesting and makes sense. Ancient human explorers making use of genetic manipulation to survive the harsh frozen wasteland planet due to their need to mine it, starting to devolve more and more with each generation till they are turned into wolf monsters and nothing of their true selves remains.

Scale75 has saved my bacon. Turns out they do a shade of green that is 95% identical to the old scaly green citadel made. This is handy as i've acquired some models for an upcoming tourney and want them to match.

Anime adaptations make me wonder why they even wanted the license when the fans of the adaptation wouldn't like the original and fans of the original wouldn't like the adaptation

Same goes for games, movies and tv shows

There's also this dumpy guardsman she has a crush on
He's a loser and stuff and whatever, self insert yourself as him with her crushing your balls or something
There are various points where Marneus Girlgar sacrifices herself to save everyone, and Big Emperor shows up to tell her she's done a really good job and deserves to live as she screams that she is a baka

Because when a good adaptation hits, it hits hard. I saw Cyberpunks number go up to several hundred thousand concurrent players from about 50k in less than a week because of the well like anime. This was before their big DLC and patch.
Arcane was so big it basically destroyed LoL lore because the show got bigger than the game and the devs started retconning lore to fit the show instead of the other way around or what they initially said was set in an alt universe.

>>96804294
>>96804187
>>96804322
Nah there is nothing stopping 40k from being a faithful anime adaptation, you must have a very skewed perception of what anime is. A lot of it is obviously Western-inspired in some elements.
I imagine a (good) 40k anime to be maybe somewhat similar to RedLine but with hyperviolence instead of racing, maybe with some battle royale elements. Hell some redline designs were already kinda 40kayish, like the gothic quasi-nazi colonialists with cybernetics that had piper organs play whenever they were on screen.

Haven't seen you in a while

Are dark eldar a horde army?

Here’s my idea for a new faction: they’re abhumans that have been breed for millennia to curtail their emotions and turn them into freaky logic machines. They are to regular human emotion what eldar are to humans. They look like humans but with slightly larger heads but creep out humans they meet due to their flat affect and lack of motion in their bodies. Chaos hates them the most because being around them is like being around Fabius Bile/other Reddit atheists. They have a form of sorcery based upon pure logic that can’t be corrupted by chaos but is fucked up in its own ways. This was inspired by the dunyain if any of you have heard of them.

>The whole point of the Dûnyain ethos is to overcome these limitations and so become a self-moving soul -- to attain what they call the Absolute, or the Unconditioned Soul.

>But unlike those exotic Nilnameshi sects devoted to various other forms of "enlightenment", the Dûnyain are not so naive as to think this can be attained within the course of a single lifetime. They think of this, rather, as a multi-generational process. Quite early on they recognized that the instrument itself, the soul, was flawed, so they instituted a program of selective breeding for intellect and dispassion. In a sense the entire sect became a kind of experiment, isolated from the world to maintain control, with each prior generation training the next to the limit of their capabilities, the idea being that over the millennia they would produce souls that could climb further and further from the circle of before and after. The hope was that eventually they would produce a soul utterly transparent to Logos, a soul capable of apprehending all the darknesses that come before

>>96804421
Posting metal

>>96804443
Not to the level of traditional horde armies. Really they rock similar body counts to beakies while being much more squishy.

>>96804421
Im still waiting for tzeentch demons to get a refresh before I pick them up. they really need that update.

>>96804444
>enlarged craniums
>cold logic machines
>non-Chaos psychic powers running on cold alien thought thats still fucked up
I feel like you just came up with GSC/Nids but slightly more human, I don't think it brings anything to the table both thematically and aesthetically.
Its also kinda too similar to Necromundan Delaque.

>>96804353
>"They are going to violate our airspace with navigational equipment which only exists in theory? The nerve of those vermin!"
KINO

>>96804461
GSC are not based on logic. The be clear, dunyain look far more human than GSC. They can pass as ordinary humans, they just have to mimic a lot of instinctual reactions that humans have because they have much greater control over their own body and awareness of sensations. Looking at one who isn’t doing this is supposed to be uncanny because you can sense something is wrong but aren’t aware of what it is.

>>96804485
>GSC are not based on logic
They definitely are, because that is what Broodmind operates on, since the cult is under the Patriarch and Patriarch is a glorified meat computer when it comes to its mental faculties. Even performayive things like Kelermorphs doing vigilante stuff is driven purely by a cold, rational, spider-like brain behind it.
I understand that you were inspired by some other fandom and thought it'd be a good fit for 40k, but IMO its not unique enough to be its own big faction. Its aesthetically too close to Delaque/GSC and thematically its a recombination of certain Eldar, Blank and Votann traits. Feel free to kitbash a killteam though, or hell a whole proxy army if your heart so desires.

>>96804502
Nah I only play sisters of battle and will never play anything else. I would play agents of the imperium if they added some of the crazier lore units. I do like to collect particular models from other factions if I really like them

>>96804516

Not saying this to be like wow you dont play or anything, i just like sisters and want to see everyones

Low effort post, I am unimpressed.

>>96804544
>And make it an isekai of a tau model owner reborn as a commissar loli!
Kino.

>>96804552
If the first thing you think of when seeing 40K is hyperviolence and battle royale then you aren't making a faithful adaptation.
In fact you should just say you hate 40K.

>>96804564
>40k isn't hyper violence
Tourist

>>96804564
No silly, I am being realistic as to what format would be good for an anime adaptation
>think of when seeing 40K is hyperviolence
Ultimately yes, there is only war and thats the sole important part. Stylish toys killing each other and spilling blood is what 40k as a hobby is.
Stylish toys killing other stylish toys would warrant stylish animation of sick-lookin' freaks killing each other. Simple recipe for success.
>battle royale
Perhaps you misunderstood my choice of words, I mentioned it just because it'd be a foolproof format, since
1) you'd be advertizing ALL of the toys at the same time, shining a spotlight on every model range you could potentially buy from
2) one of the most popular non-tabletop examples of the franchise, Dawn of War + Expansions, was a free-for-all battle royale with a somewhat contrived excuse to showcase all the factions
Will it come at the cost of story complexity? Maybe, but fuck story complexity, 40k was never renowned for it to begin with and my expectations would be low to begin with. But you can't go with well-animated brutal action as well as the "your faction will be in this one, too!" approach

>>96804421
I'm still very proud of my sword bros from yesterday. Will post my marshal later today when I finish him too.

>>96804544

#goals

>>96804626
Which one are you wanting to be?

>>96803925
The arms are much longer than on the Redemptor and the silhouette just looks wide as hell; haven't seen one IRL but is the sarcophagus cover protruding outward more, or is it just the meltas? At least in the promo shots the Brutalis just looks like he has a lack of a sleek midsection due to them.

>>96804632
I had a few Ungors for my Alpha Legion themed Warp Coven, I never built an iconward because AL are not the type of guys to bring big banners with their icons into small tactical operations, so what can I use to represent that icon guy? A force field generator like the one on the old Big Mek or the Lectro-Maester? Some sort of broadcast device like on a GSC Clamavus? IT gives other beastmen -1D and +1 OC so both could work.

>>96804421
My primer should arrive today so I'll be able to get the last of my Eldar ready to go this week.

After it's all primed I'll start painting, but that does mean I'm getting close to the point where I have to decide if I want to paint all the bumps as gems or just the soul stones.

>>96804621
Isn't that the terminator thingy?

>>96804626
The Tau. I need a goth gf

>>96804658
Lots of models wear the crux as bling somewhere in their person

>>96804668
Is that meant to be DEldar or croneworlder vehicle?

>>96804621
My guess is it's part of the 13th Company who were lost in the Warp together with Russ and are coming back with him at the end of this edition. Definitely looks like Space Wolves. Might be also Thunderwolf Cavalry or a Terminator Wolf Lord because that was also rumored to release soon.

Damn GW really loves those dogs, they just had a kill team announced.

>>96804535
In a way. They started as a religious order that was obsessed with the concept of predestination and free will. Free will doesn't exist because we are all influenced by events before our birth, which they call the darkness that came before. Their primary goal is to escape this entirely and become creatures of pure logos that comprehend all factors that led to the present moment and transcend them.

Think of them like a race of sociopaths. They understand ordinary emotions perfectly but don't feel them in the same way, and they will do anything to manipulate people or accomplish their goal. They have this concept called The Shortest Way which is basically the most efficient way to accomplish a goal. If it's talking to you they will do that, but they will kill your entire family if it's more effective.

>>96804658
>>96804666
yeah the specific Terminator one is bigger and more stylized than that.
>>96804621
That's 100% a CSM guy holding a trophy

>>96804621
That’s a Space Marine relic. Either another Space Wolf is on the way with that fur coat or it’s a fake-out Chaos Marine taking someone else’s shit. Could align with Red Corsair rumors if it’s a Chaos Marine, it is a regular skull and not a wolf skull after all.

>>96804668
I'm not sold on the details but I love the overall shape. I'd like to see Eldar vehicles get a bit more weird with it like that. I love that the War Walker has full on hip bones

>>96804672
I have no idea I don't remember where I got it from. But I am always pro Crone World Eldar being a thing

>>96804683
They have this crux thing all over on veteran models. That fur is too SW to be a traitor. Traitors have different fur sculpts.

>>96804683
I was always confused about whether the smaller one counted as a Crux Terminatus since Terminators get them as bits in their box. I always thought the smaller one was at the very least the proof or license you can pilot Terminator armor.

>>96804690
>it's a Red Corsair Space Wolf

>>96804683
>That's 100% a CSM guy holding a trophy
Good guess, I agree.

>>96804709
I think it's just a veteran license.

>>96804709
I think the big shoulder one is the one that holds a shard of the Emperor's Amor, so it's the important one.

As an imperium lorefag and space marine player the one downside of marines being so dominant is that you play against other marine players too often

That's does get annoying. They should add more unique rules for different legions and chapters

>>96804677
>Free will doesn't exist because we are all influenced by events before our birth, which they call the darkness that came before
Ah so they understand how socio-economic and your class affects your life and how succesful you are
>They have this concept called The Shortest Way which is basically the most efficient way to accomplish a goal. If it's talking to you they will do that, but they will kill your entire family if it's more effective.
Cool concept, I dig it but don't call it 'The Shortest Way', take a page out of Frank Herberts book and create your own word for that concept that may or may not be arabic inspired for it.

>>96804702
>that helmet

>>96804738
Space Pigs

>>96804658
It's the terminator honors badge all veteran marines have.

>>96804621
>>96804743
It's a Chaplains rosarius, it even has a neckstrap on it.

>>96804711
Hurons got a traitor Salamander in his honourguard in one of the Honsou books as well

>>96804725
That's just an in-universe myth.

>>96804735
There is a game just for you anon, its called HH

>>96804683
A CSM with a big bushy beard? For some reason I struggle to imagine that

>>96804692
You must be the only anon I've ever seen praise the war walker

>>96804735
/hhg/ is 2 block down, feel free to fuck off there

>>96804746
No, it's just the terminator crux for veterans. It's the thing you see on Lazarus on here.
It's just a way to signify that a veteran marine has earned the right to use terminator armor.

>>96804692
>>96804769
I dig the uncanny shape, but I wish the cockpit was shut close fully

>>96804762
I'd guess it's a fur thing similiar to pic related.

>>96804774
>>96804757
I enjoy 40k's modern lore more than 30k. Ideally the 40k would be almost as focused on the imperium but not quite

I love my big goth wife Kurze

>>96804776
So a CSM killed a veteren marine and took his terminator crux?

>>96804785
>complains he only gets to fight marines
>wants to fight even MORE marines
Abominable

>>96804788
I mean, yeah?
It's clearly just a chaos marine taking trophy from a loyalist he killed.

>>96804785
>you know what 40k needs?
>EVEN MORE marinewank
kill yourself

>>96804794
If he wanted to play against even more marines he'd be going to /hhg/ to play horus heresy.
That game has 21 factions in it.
19 of which are just varying flavors of fucking space marines (Yes, I am counting Custards as a flavor of space marines, they are just golden marines)

>>96804810
>If he wanted to play against even more marines he'd be going to /hhg/ to play horus heresy.
Putting more focus on marines is how you play against more marines, anon

>>96804544
>>96804560
>>96804620
Bro that's just Tanya the Evil

>>96804808
Lore should be more imperiumwank, not just marines. Get it right anon

>>96804776
Huh? Did they use that on old models too to show veteran status coz I thought it used to be a clearly chaplain/ministorum priest type of deal when its worn like that? And the Crux Terminatus is only the actual big thing. Is this another thing primaris designers fucked up in the lore or an old thing?

>>96804826
I am going to do an uncouth thing and assume you're some flavour of HFYtard with middling, contrast-heavy paintjobs. At least thats a stereotype I've seen around

>>96804836
Wrong, he actually doesn't own any miniatures. He's just trying one of the staple baits that always work here for some reason.

I've noticed this quite a bit among IG players lmao

>>96804824
Yeah, like I said, kino.

>>96804873
this anon has immaculate taste

>>96804756
If they believe it then it's still the important one.

>>96804609
>Ultimately yes, there is only war and thats the sole important part.
It's satire.
>Stylish toys killing each other and spilling blood is what 40k as a hobby is.
No it's about unpainted armies and dice rolling. Stylish depends on army, I suppose you think the Super Marine Kart is stylish.
>you'd be advertizing ALL of the toys at the same time
Have you counted how many models there are recently?
>Dawn of War + Expansions, was a free-for-all battle royale
>battle royale
I don't think you know what this word means. But I suppose that's normal if all you can think of is anime.
>fuck story complexity, 40k was never renowned for it to begin with
You're asking for a show with no story because 40K never had a story? That's a little extreme.

>>96804828
No? It's been like that for decades.
Crux Terminatus exists on terminator armor shoulders, it's there as a symbol of veterancy but also in-universe the people believe that it contains a shard of the Emperor's armor.

Terminator Honors, however are just a smaller badge shaped like a crux that is given to veteran marines to signify that they have earned the right to wear terminator armor, and you mainly see this if the veteran marine is just wearing regular power armor.

You can see this in pic related. It's that one captain model from 1991, and it also has a terminator honor badge.

>>96804187
It is fun to imagine a sort of Band of Brothers esque story of a Hunter Cadre told through the eyes of a Tau or Gue’vesa so you can have that grounded view without all the space wizards and demigods and nightmare metal monsters that you get with the Imperium, just ordinary soldiers fighting against those horrors and holding the line with a dinky little riffle and grit.

>>96804824
Congratulations, you got the reference! Who's a good boy? You are!

>>96804901
>irony poisoning and merely pretending to be retarded
here is your pity (you)

>>96804913
I accept your concession of defeat. Pathetic.

>>96804828
I've got one hanging off the shoulderpad of a marine, so definitely it's in the recently replaced BT combat patrol somewhere as that's the only marine box I've opened. Which is still primaris era. Intercessor, crusader, or BT upgrade sprues.

>>96804769
I haven't fully built and painted it yet, so I might not be thrilled with the whole package. But I was delighted by the hip bone construction as I was building the subassemblies.
>>96804779
Yeah the whole cockpit area needed a redesign. Honestly I think it would work better if the pilot was in a more prone motorcycle riding position.

>>96804796
Doesn't look like chaos at all. We can see the armor and it looks fairly normal. It also has those chaplain gubbins. My guess it's a SW chaplain in terminator armor.

>>96804910
thanks anon! I always knew I could do it!

Can someone explain me what the ZOG is going on with this unit? There's no stock anywhere, all the ones being sold online are horribly overpriced. Did they lose the mold? Did they only make 20 boxes and forget about them?

Kinda sad to base your personality around a stereotype

>>96804944
Orks are unpopular and not a priority in terms of manufacturing.

>>96804952
Wolf Priest in Terminator Armor then who cares, same shit.

>>96804956
Honestly I'm expecting 40k to just fucking drop Xenos within 10 years.

>>96804937
I guess its a crux medallion these days then. Kinda funny the generic rosarius also looks exactly the same. Had a ook at some of the old metal veterans/captains and they have similar small medallions too, tho those seem to have gems instead of skulls.

>>96804901
>It's satire.
No, its a line of toys for painting and assembly and gameplay, with supplementary fluff that occasionally has satirical elements
>No it's about unpainted armies and dice rolling
Non-argument and kinda mind-broken mentality, I live in a capital city and there is a huge narrative group where fully painted armies are "heavily encouraged"
>Have you counted how many models there are recently?
Showing off the key iconic ones is the thing that matters
>I don't think you know what this word means
By definition its as simple as a battle with many participants
>You're asking for a show with no story because 40K never had a story?
I said that the story doesn't have to be complex

>>96804963
>Honestly I'm expecting 40k to just fucking drop Xenos within 10 years.
Kind of an insane take, anon.

>>96803809 (OP)
>Felinid Edition
Did somebody say cat girls?

>>96804988
Probably, just frustrated by how more neglected Xenos tends to feel by GW.

>>96804944
Eh, a quick glance at Ebay and I see plenty of people selling them, all for at least a little less than what GW wants for them

>>96804721
All first founding Chapters and some of the more popular successors like Raptors and Blood Ravens will get their own stuff eventually

>>96804968
>No, its a line of toys for painting and assembly and gameplay
But anon said it's about war and ultraviolence!
>Showing off the key iconic ones
But anon said ALL of them!

A boxing term appropriated by weebs due to a 25 year old book. A free for all sport, not a deathmatch where you survive until you can kill the worn down strongest opponent.
>fuck story

Wait, the terminator in the left side... Is that Severus Agemman? If that's the case, this would be the first official art in which he is being shown.
Or is that another character?

This has been a good thread.

>>96805009
play better Xenos

>>96805031
Not really.

>>96805024
Its literally just a straight drawing of the old generic termy captain

I think airbrushes suck!
Except for like priming but beyond that it's just headache material

>>96804441
I'm still around once a week or so, I just usually post different armies
big bird has sadly been on the shelf a long time now

>>96805020
>But anon said ALL of them!
I said showing off all the toys with toys also being an exaggeration, but you're insane for thinking that I also mean uhhh *rustles paper* Decimator Daemon Engine from Forge World (LEGENDS:tm:), read the room a little bit sheesh.
>But anon said it's about war and ultraviolence!
Yes, correct. The universe is about war and ultraviolence, there is nothing particularly satirical about Octarius War or War in Heaven or Fall of Cadia, to list some random ass narrative events. The gameplay is about war.
>fuck story
I mean yeah kinda, you only need as much to get things going. A good 40k show wouldn't need a lot of it, it can be pretty simple and doesn't need any elaborate plot points.
And it has to be simple because 40k has too much niche fluff, as a setting its wide as 3 oceans and deep as a bathtub. The average viewer wouldn't know or appreciate delving into importance of Rangdan Xenocides (an event about war btw with nothing particularly satirical about it).

>>96805075
I unironically agree, at least when they're used to "paint" vehicles as "did one pass with an airbrush now its painted."

>>96804954
what a normal reaction anon I can tell you didn't feel attacked at all

Nani the fuck?

>>96805094
You missed tau

>>96805075
>>96805084
Unironically a skill issue.

>>96804859
It works because they know their opinion is genuinely unpopular and more people are into the "bait." Sprinkle in a pseudo-intellectual belief that "grimdark" or focus on xenos is somehow intellectual.

>>96804421
Birds

>>96805113
Tau are equal to Eldar, not above.

>>96804429
Cool meganobz orkbro

>>96805113
Tau have less shitted blslop and current lore than eldar

>>96804994
>at least 3 models with their tits out
>many more wearing just a bikini top
Have you played these in public anon?

>>96805113
The Tau are the only faction in the game that’s just normal dudes trying to survive, it makes sense they would have a degree of popularity even if they do get shit on a lot

Test model for >>96801432

Ideally would have a forest base. This makes me lean more towards option B. But would like opinions

>Every thread now is just Taufags screeching

JHC no wonder everyone hates this faction.

>>96805094
>>But they get large refresh waves,
After years and years of neglect.
>>They're one of the most popular xenos in the game
Also beaten by Tau. Congratulation, they are more popular than 20 yo Ork sculpts and a completely new Votann army. They are literally the bottom Xeno faction.

>>96804421
Postan hoe

>>96804944
I can't answer your question but here's my wreckas that I magnetized. I have a second kit that I'm gonna build a breaka boyz and I'm gonna use nob bodies and the rokkit bits to make tankbustas

>>96805091
Okay anon
Keep owning those whites

>>96804988
Is this accurate? Dark Angels being at the very top and Space Wolves near the bottom doesn't make much sense. At least in my experience.

>>96805167
I like option B better. Army is gonna look boring as fuck if every single model is just drybrushed teal.

>>96804870
I mean only whites are human so that makes sense yeah

>>96805213

in

>>96804870
Correct. I am racist and prefer whites because I am white. What of it?

>>96804824
>new season soon guys I swear haha
>haha oops did we put her in isekai quartet again haha
>maybe next year you'll get a new season haha
It's all so tiresome

>>96805178
The Tau are cool I just don't know where the players get their confidence from. Why would they ever think they can beat the Imperium in a straight up 1v1?

>>96805158
Tau is a caste-based hellscape where most of the population is effectively mind-controlled by pheromones from ethereals. They also use another intelligent races as cannon fodder.

>>96805213
>Is this accurate? Dark Angels being at the very top and Space Wolves near the bottom doesn't make much sense. At least in my experience.
If they count it by detachment, lots of Space Wolves use the Stormlance Task Force, pairs pretty well with Thunderwolf cavalry IIRC,

>>96805231
No Tau player thinks that. You're just falling for shitposting.

>>96805244
Ah that would make much more sense not only for SW but also BT

>>96805246
Did you even read last nights thread?

>>96804870
I have an ingroup preference too. Most people do. Anyway try to keep this stuff to /pol/

>>96805264
>he's falling for shitposting designed to make Imperiumfags angry
got 'em

>>96805152
Not yet, anon! I've shown them off, but not played yet. I still have a few unpainted models and I cant play with unpainted stuff. This is my first guard army, so I'm looking forward to it.

>>96805274
It was a nice civil discussion between both parties but the Taufags were bordering on delusion.

>>96805279
Show maids. Also paint some like anime brown elves

>>96804994
Uh, based???

>>96805230
I read the novel and the parts that have already been animated were probably the high point so you're not missing much.

>>96805279
Mice bros rise up!

>>96805285
How do you know it was taufags? Did anyone post models or did they just shitpost to make you angry? Are you actually retarded or pretending? Besides we have like 2-3 actual taufags and that includes the sallyanon and the classic scheme anon.

>>96805308

>>96805313
You don't need models to have an opinion anon...

>>96804994
Someone make a version of that sonic meme they did for fecalslopper and make this anon the good catposter and the catslopper the evil one

Should I focus on orks or deldar, anons? I want to bang out as much of an army as possible before the nee Norsca stuff drops for ToW.

>>96805308
This bitch is old news. The flavor of the month is horse girls.

>>96805318
yes you do

>>96805319
no one knows what ur talking about, that meme is stale and retarded.

>>96805327
You just gave a generalized opinion about no one who owns Tau believing they can defeat the Imperium, surly you must have Tau models to formulate that opinion then right?

>>96805319
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

>>96805328
Put the trip back on.

>>96805324

>>96805120
UNIRONICALLY it can't be a skill issue when a majority of these things clog up 24/7 no matter how well you thin the right paints and it doesn't help that unless you buy a 200 bucks gun it's just lost money

>>96805318

I actually prefer that you use this trip so I can block you, ty fatso.

>>96805238
So basically the Imperium but trade pheromones with religion and using their own people as fodder instead.

>>96805376
So you can pinpoint my every move and and ridicule me incessantly? I don't think so twerp.

>>96805389
No. It's simply a courtesy for those who don't want anything to do with you.

>>96805364
Why do you hate decals? They make your life easier. It's a stupid thing to hate.

>>96805406
He's retarded just filter him.

How do I learn to love orks?
I have an unopened box of meganobz

I can't wait for drukhari to be in the next starter set and this time - THIS TIME - they will; have a bigger gun than a splintercannon.

>>96805289
I'm saving the darker skin tones for the catachans

>>96805424
I just hope it's not orks

I think you're just racist.

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>96805328
>>96805353

I like this one

The point of the Tau isn’t to be a strong faction, it’s that they’re the only grounded faction. The imperium is space wizard, demigods, and sentient soul monster-machines the size of mountains. The Tau are just dudes with guns. Not even fancy guns, just regular guns.

I love my big red wife, magnus the red

>>96805447
You get a Deldar refresh but...
It's also an Eldar refresh because it's a new Ynnead army. 80% of YOUR models in particular are now only playable in legends, having been replaced by Wood Eldar models that are soft and not pointy sculpts.

>Um acktaully chuds, there have always been female space marines. Ok, they weren't ever called "space marines" or ever sold with space marines but if I ignore that it helps my argument.

Interesting choice. I really like Deathskulls, but it seems that every Orkposter here also does them, so I’ll probably wind up going with Blood Axes.

>>96805075
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the flow improver key to fixing this? So like 3 drops of paint 3 drops of thinner and then like 7-8 drops of flow improver? Works for me maybe try that anon

>>96805231
It’s memes anon. It’s the same shit as the whole “The Guard holds the line”. Everybody knows they don’t but it makes for a badass line,

Sorry, I'm not familiar with this meme

>>96805445
Thanks, anon

>>96805469
Can you do more of Empress, but this time give her bigger boobs.

>>96805495
It's the character select from some sonic game. He's just saying between two catposters, that you're the cool one

>>96805479
Kill yourself.

Once you realize xenos players are mostly non-whites/bugmen their attitudes make a lot more sense

>>96805495
We had a guy that posted catgirl sisters of battle that were just headswaps.
He refused to shade his models and had a multi thread spergout over it when people asked him what was up with that.
You are the good guy version of that with actually well painted models and that's what the meme is representing.

When will we be allowed to post PDFs again?

>>96805495
Cool thanks I like the weathering you've done.

>>96805519
These wouldn't be that bad if you applied some washes on it. I think that's the biggest issue since it has a lack of "depth" so to speak.
Also the gaps and mold lines are pretty horrendeus but nothing you can do to fix at this point.
Best thing to do is to learn from the mistakes so your future models turn out better.

>>96805527
post hand with an ork, nid and deldar

>>96805523
Never probably.
It was easier to just disable uploading them than try and fix the security error because the codebase has not been updated in a decade.
/p/ strips exif data now too which sucks, it was the one board it was actually useful on.

Out of catgirls. Posting my tau.

>>96805506

Oof. Those are not great..

>>96805526

>>96805576

>>96805571
Being a communist society of spacefaggots with a caste system may be regular for bugmen I guess

>>96805578
They’re smaller and weaker in average than humans and there’s Gue’vesa who are literally just regular human dudes with guns.

>>96805566
I'll get some together gimme a bit, that's definitely doable

>>96805595
They’re literally just Space NATO, if you live in a western country you’re already familiar with them.

Thought's on using 3d printed bits on your minis?

>>96805571
Sorry I don't want to be a brainwashed, sterilized, second class glorified servitor in an empire that doesn't care for you in the slightest.

This guy is done I suppose. I haven’t painted a primaris model in almost 2 years after painting lots of orcs and maggotkin. Thoughts?

>>96805596
They aren't smaller or weaker than humans. They are same size and strength according to their codex. At least the Fire Caste is. Others are more specialized.

>>96805613
So basically just the modern western experience.

>>96805596
>smaller and weaker
And yet they've carried the weight of being the punching bag of WH fans for 20+ years on their backs

>>96805601
No they’re not lol. They have a caste system based on mind control.

Farsight is unironically kind of like that but he’s considered a heretic by them and his enclave is doomed

The Caste System is obviously fucked in some ways, but its no worse than the fucked Nobility systems in the Imperium.

>>96805583
Honestly the owls were just a who asked joke rather than anything about the Liberi.
I'm a Mayer/Magallen lover anyway.
Here have this to keep it slightly on topic.

>>96805584
Rock probably shifted in the night from some dumb fuck hermit crab trying to wedge itself somewhere it can't fit. It's really really common unless you manually glue every single piece of rock down and use a foam underlayer to get the rock off the bottom glass. Used to work in a petstore and we had a 2000gal explode cause our eel tried to wedge himself under a 60lb resin treasure chest and tipped it into the front glass. Literally walking around finding 40$ fish dried up under shelves for years after

>>96805618
They’re straight up manlets anon, they’re pretty much a faction if that faction consisted of nothing but the Imperial Guard

>>96805611
I always thought they looked like shite, but if they make you happy then I say do it.

>>96805616
It's good, just ease on the panel lining and thin your paints a bit more. Also two thin see through coats > one coat for a smoother finish.

>>96805623
>They have a caste system based on mind control.
So pretty much just modern America

>>96805185
>Orks not popular because they're old

I see anon failed logic in school.

>>96805623
This sounds like current day U.S.A.

>>96805659
Cope

>>96805632
They could announce an Arknights/40k collab and I don't think I'd even be surprised.
Hell, it'd probably be fitting in some ways.

>>96805654
I bet you didn't pass your logic class in secondary school

Does an Inquisitor leader also benefit from a detachment rule that specifies units, than models? While the core rules say to treat leaders as being part of the unit, just making sure if there's no weird fuckery going on with Imperial Agents that make them less compatible.

>>96805616
Another angle, it looks a bit off cause the paints are mostly matte or satin and the washes were all glossy. Once I varnish it’s gonna look better

>>96805633
None of the rocks were moved, it was one of those curved glass 45 gallon cubes that the glass I guess is defective. We then got hit with a Hurricane and lost our 125 and all its stock. We quit the hobby then...

>>96805659
Seethe

>>96805678
>secondary school
Oh, you're a third worlder

>>96805679
indeed, anything that references units and not models benefits the inquisitor leading marines just fine.

>>96805571
The problem with a grounded faction is that regular people could never survive in the 40k universe in their own. The Imperium relies on the strength of its space marines and titans and psykers to survive, without them it would fall very quickly

>>96805616
>>96805684
He looks great, tasteful wash application with solid bold colors and nice subdued edge highlights.

BAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!! You lost!!!

>>96805692
So like say, psyker Inquisitors benefiting from SM Librarius Conclave, or getting +1 to hit/wound with the Custards' Lions of the Emperor? That's cool.

>>96805055
>star of chaos on the tabbard
Huh.

>>96805693
It also has a lot of unironic miracles happen. The Sisters of Battle even have that as their main gimmick as an army. There are people in the imperium that just come back to life with magic powers granted by their god. Tarot cards and astrology actually work in the imperium.

Here's a fun short story idea. A Tau "normie" from the water caste is in the middle of a demon attack and they see some insane zealot like Kibellah from the Rogue Trader crpg cut herself and start glowing golden before cutting down a greater daemon

>>96805709
No, you lost! Enjoy not having healthcare and dying in the street while I play 40k!

Yeah the Imperium is basically unrecognizable from any human civilization, between their demigods and space wizards and living machines and mutants and holy magic and a literal living god on their side they pretty much the poster boy for an ancient unknowable eldritch power

>>96805635
>I always thought they looked like shite

>>96805756
I really enjoy that aspect of the imperium being viewed by xenos. Another idea along those lines would be some Votann discovering that in the imperium machine spirits actually exist. The Eldar are probably the only ones that can contextualize it at all

>>96805611
They're fantastic, ignore any haters. I use them all the time.

>>96805797
I guess you're right, I should not expect a basic understanding of how light works from an average 40k hobbyist

>>96805765
No they dont. They dont fit the design language of the old wings at all and you can clearly see the 3d print lines

>>96805514
Yeah, but not in the way you're thinking

>>96805798
They're not economically communist, but their values as a society and the way they treat citizens is basically identical to irl communist societies.

>>96805802
Yeah, even the Imperial Guard isn’t very normal because they’re still legions of fanatical zealots fighting alongside the aforementioned space wizards, space marines, sentient mountains, and demigods. Hell, they’re not even rare, the Imperium has so many Titans that they’re treated as expendable.

>>96805839
The're more fascist india than communist poland though.

>>96805839
They’re literally just Space NATO.

>>96805851
The caste system only separates them based on tangible biological differences between the castes. That's totally different from India because... Actually you're right lol.

>>96805566
Here you go anon

>>96805864
Based, thank you. I like the halo. Good abs too.

>>96805839
Not really, if anything the imperium's values and how it treats it's citizens closest to IRL communism than the Tau

>>96805864
Can you make a giant breasted version?
It's criminal that Empress has smaller tits than her daughter.

>>96805888
One more because I like how digusted she looks at the viewer

>>96805864
I challenge you to make Yvraine with model-accurate hair

>>96805905
>>96805864
Take your disgusting coomslop outta here you degenerates!

>>96805897
I dunno how to make hyper work, it goes absolutely crazy anytime you go way bigger I find. Probably just my prompting I dunno
>>96805908
That sounds like a pain in the ass but I'll give it a shot

>>96805905
Kinky

Empress would never choose to give herself comically large breasts because it is beneath her. Her physical form is purely a matter of whim.

>>96805892
How so? I say the tau are closer to irl communist because of their collectivist values and the brutal treatment of citizens. In one of the novels, I forget which, they mention how after a rebellion the gue'vesa rebels will be treated "like the tau" where they'll be separated from their family groups and assigned to labor colonies and groups. It also mentions how many sense of individualism or family heritage/pride will also be taken away. This implies that at least in the imperium you generally get to stick with your family and have some semblance of knowledge about your ancestors. Meanwhile for the tau, individualism is a taboo and you're separated from family by default. They allow individualism for humans unless they misbehave, presumably because they're used to it.

I think she would give herself biggest breasts imaginable because she can.
Just like how the Emperor dressed in a giant suit of gold armor because he liked it.
He is kind of vain his own way.

The "imperium" doesn't actually govern many of its planets. Most imperium planets are civilized worlds with their own government. The imperium just wants them to pay the tithe and not be too heretical. It can't micromanage millions of planets

He disliked that form or at least did not have a special attachment to it. That was stated explicitly. He used it because he wanted to inspire awe as the emperor. It was merely one of his aspects. Another way to manipulate people, nothing more.

If I had to guess I would think a more understated scholarly persona is his personal preference.

>>96805967
The Imperium was able to detect that Taros (despite paying its expected tithe) had more mines than it should for the amount of ore it was producing and was able to conduct a prompt and sweeping investigation which showed that they had been slipping small amounts of ore to the Tau. The Imperium absolutely can micromanage.

>>96805986
Obviously that kind of thing does happen, but it does not micromanage every planet. There are lots of planets with almost no contact. It depends on routes through the warp, whether it's strategic, is it close to something like a space marine chapter, things like that

this is the worst thread we ever had

>>96805974
>He disliked that form or at least did not have a special attachment to it. That was stated explicitly. He used it because he wanted to inspire awe as the emperor. It was merely one of his aspects. Another way to manipulate people, nothing more.
Or maybe that is what he wanted people to think.

>>96806000
Taros was a tiny insignificant periphery mining world in the edge of Imperium space with a population of 12 million people, and the Imperium sent a Titan Legion and several space marine companies along with 20 Imperial Guard regiments to overthrow the governor for the crime of selling a small sliver of ore to the Tau.

>>96806005
The elfrobatics thread or the one preceding that was worse.

>>96806028
And there are also examples of planets not having contact with the adminstratum for hundreds of years. Your point is wrong.

>>96806048

>>96805974
I feel like the Empress would make herself beautiful to the point of being uncanny and almost painful to look at but with more reasonably sized breasts. She would also punish any of the female primarchs for being too overtly sexualized in their presentation

>>96806058
So you contradict yourself. If the Imperium only cares about getting its tithe then how can a planet have not had contact with the administratum for hundreds of years?

>>96806074
Because the imperium has limited resources and can't micromanage planets to that extent, which is what I said before. It depends on the sector and a bunch of other factors. If your planet is close to an Inquisition Conclave or a lex arbites center then yeah you're turbofucked if you ignore the tithe. If it's a world that can only be reached via unstable warp routes then you can probably get away with it. it all depends

The right way to think of the geography of the Imperium is that it is closer to Comorragh than it is to a human country on Earth. It all depends on travel through the warp, which doesn't move through traditional space and routes through the warp vary. A planet could be close to Terra in realspace but "isolated" due to warp storms. A planet could be located halfway around the galaxy and be "close to the center of things" due to warp travel being predictable and easy.

Anyone that might be able to help?
Does anyone have an old Deathwatch vet and a new terminator? I'm trying to see how big the difference is in size for them.

I got meself one of these but I don't know what colour to paint my Orks armour-wise.
I got some Kommandos painted which I just did in drab colours a la blood axes but how do blood axes paint their armour? Also green, grey muted colours mimicking human armies?

>>96806090
The Imperium does not have limited resources, their resources are massive and functionally endless, it’s why they’re able to dominate every other faction so easily

Ork armor can be just about any color.
But if you're doing Blood Axes, maybe yeah, paint them in a somewhat fucky camo. Base them off human (mayhe even real world) patterns. Orks might understand that the patterns are for stealth but not quite understand that they match the terrain and such.

Nice little schizo thread developing in /x:

>>>/x/41316425

>>96806125
Fun way to do blood axes could be having mismatched camo pieces, the majority being green but then mix in some of the really retarded ones either from cod, or you could go to /k/ and ask them what they think the most useless camo patterns in history were.

>>96806159
Oof, they fucked those new ones up. I have mostly firstborn vets. Wanted to see if I should try getting getting new terminators as Deathwatch. Those might work fine, but man I didn't think the new marines were so different to my vets. I have primaris, I just have them in a separate army.

HH actually barely has any differences between marines armies too. 40k actually has more variety because chaos space marines and the 4 god legions are all very different from bog standard imperium space marines even shit like grey knights and black templars have their own completely different army rules and forces. For the most part HH armies are all the same standard marine army that can all take the same formations and units but get 1 or 2 unique formations and the detachment shit that 40k also has like warlord traits and extra abilities. Theres no CSM stuff so traitor legions cant take demon engines or warped units unlike 40k CSM so traitor legions are also literally just base space marines and theres no other armies besides marines either outside of custodes, guard and admech.

HH also has insane balance problems so if someone tries to gaslight you into thinking its some amazing blast from the past from the golden age of 40k rules and says that its more like a historical than a sci fi setting Just know that its not.

Magrabal, Kahl of the Thaurukh Votann, is an enigmatic figure, even amongst his kin.

Seemingly possessed of a 'sixth-sense' with regards to detecting threats to his people, his steadfast determination in battle has won him the respect of his peers.

Like others of clan Thaurukh he bears the signs of obvious mutation, the votann core having prioritised vital systems over such cosmetics foibles, and he bears them with pride, as a sign of the Thaurukh's indomitable spirit to survive against the odds.

He wields the Orvut-Aetharn, the obsidian blade, a titanic sword even in its seemingly fragmented state.
When in combat the blade seems to 'weep' magma, and the obsidian edge carves cleanly through even the thickest of armour with contemptuous ease.

Magrabal's intent so far seems unknown, though it is clear from the Thaurukh's current campaign they have no love lost for the forces of chaos, much to Abaddon's Chagrin.
Rumours circulate that he has been seen in the company of Buri Aegirsson, though to what ends only the two kin folk know.

I'm using "harsh words" because I'm really getting sick of these retards shitting up the thread with dumbass arguments about which parts of marine/imperium/chaos wank are canon according to ten different sources that nobody bothers to keep consistent. Secondary lorefaggots are one of the main reasons this general is the worst one on this entire fucking board.

>>96806820
Lore is the only thing that matters.

Honestly the Imperium should just recreate The Rumbling and send 10,000 Titans to just wipe the Tau and Necrons off the map, the only reason they haven’t is cause they don’t have to take Xenos factions seriously.

>>96806779
They're an expensive near horde army with lots of detail

>>96806779
Dunno how much this is the case for others but the only reason I didn't pick SoB as my first army was because of those fugly faces. Their vehicles are some of the coolest shit 40k has to offer.

Why is almost every army so hordey now? Even like eldar and dark eldar

>>96806779
>>sick lore

>>beautiful models
Opposite, many of the sister models are reviled because they look like 40 year old men in drag

There are marines with flamethrowers too and they pull it off better.

>>96806851
And where is the Imperium going to find 10 000 titans though?

>>96806878
trying too hard

>>96806885
The Mechanicus has them (it’s closer to 30,000 but this would leave 20,000 to defend other sectors)

>>96806779
Up until relatively recently (2019) they were only available in metal and had bad rules if they had rules at all.
They were almost completely forgotten about the very end of 8th edition. They were not included in promotional material and were in one single game. For most people they are still a new faction that they are able to collect, 90% of people will not have seen their metal models.
Theres also how detailed they are and I think that does have an effect of them. Plus a lot of people dont know how to paint female faces
I also think part of it is many people just not wanting to play an all female faction for whatever reason

>>96806851
Don't disrespect the Necrons like that mate

>>96806779
For me, they have a weird lack of visual variation. Regular SoB look great, but it's weird that we don't have, say, more helmet options, or different styles of power armour - especially given how old the faction is. They're obviously not the main focus of the designers - like space marines are - but I've always found it weird how we've never gotten much in the way of variations of the existing designs.

>>96806878
Looking up how to paint faces videos I’ve come to agree with the sentiment that the models aren’t as ugly as the promo paint jobs make them out to be. GW’s face painting methods really only work with wrinkly and angry dudes.

>>96806915
The Necrons aren’t even the best robots in the setting, the Mechanicus has them beat

>>96806925
Space Marines were using the same armor for 10K years until Cawl made the Mk 10 suits. Would be neat to see new armor Mk’s for the Sisters, but it’s also not out of the ordinary for the Imperium to not have new suits for them after so long.

>>96806938
Come on lol, I mean best in what regard? You don't think the Imperium can actually beat the Necrons do you?

How do I start sisters?

>>96806966
Start what?

>>96806954
The Imperium beats the Necrons all the time. They took out a Necron world engine with only a single chapter of marines and just recently Guilliman blew up their Pariah Nexus.

>>96806976
nulore, ignore

>>96806947
>Space Marines were using the same armor for 10K years until Cawl made the Mk 10 suits.

I meant more in the sense of "there's Crusade armour and Iron armour and Maximus armour and -" than anything else; they have a bunch of different patters and styles, and SoB don't get much of anything in that regard. But you're right; it would be neat to see more variations and marks - it wouldn't need to be a whole thing, either, just a new set of helmets, some other power-packs. Some new breastplates - just something, anything.

>>96806976
The Necrons base lore is that they can kill everyone but don't want to because they need living souls.

>>96806986
The world engine is not nulore. Besides we know that the Necrons are afraid of the Imperium, they’ve shown great fear of it in the past

>>96806991
That’s necron cope for getting their asses kicked all the time. “Oh yeah, we could’ve stopped you blowing up our irreplaceable superweapon, we just didn’t cause…w were being nice.”

I think he's got the math thinking that rolling 5 +1 = Dev Wounds, but Dev Wounds is only on natural 6. Even with the wound reroll with a full squad of 10 throwing out 3.5 attacks on average you're doing more like 10 dev wounds on average.
