>Thread Question
What models will CWE get in 11th edition?

New warwalker and new farseer on jet bike.

>TQ
All the rumors say corsairs.

I love my big red wife, magnus the red

When are they going to re-release this model

>>96825486 (OP)
mine placing mimes, avatar of cegorach, floating stage

Let Chaos idols take this thread!

Can you delete this coomfaggot from your general?
I'm tired of seeing his absolute garbage in the catalogue.

>>96825515
She needs fatter tits.

Smooching sweaty ranger abs

>>96825536
No.

>>96825515
Slop shitter begone.

>>96825536
Filter it if you're incapable of scrolling past it without shaking and crying

>>96825536
Get over it

>>96825515
>wife
Lol
>>96825540
>she
Lmao

I will post some models I painted soon, until then post some Eldar inspo (if you can mostly Iyanden)

>>96825555
No I like it here. So does my giant red wife magnus the red

>>96825556
put on a trip so you can be filtered then

Why does this general feminize Magnus more than any other primarch.

>>96825499
I'm actually quite hyped for this. Corsairs are awesome, and they have impact in both Drukhari and Eldar armies.

The models will probably be kino, if the kill team is anything to go off of.

>>96825574
Filter the filename genius it's not me, Jesus christ, everyone who replies to you isn't your personal boogeyman

>>96825533
I hope you're happy

Imagine a chapter that had microcephaly as a gene-seed mutation.

>>96825567
check your gun, space wolf

>>96825577
Because she's the biggest one and therefore the best obviously

>>96825587
You'll just edit the md5 like you've already done so people have to see your dogshit spam

>>96825587
I want to filter you too, put on a trip, fag

>>96825587
Kill yourself ainigger

>>96825536
The coomfaggotry is not just mental illness, anon. They do this on purpose as a way to subvert 40k and own the chuds in their minds.
Note how this shit doesn't happen so often in other generals

>>96825548
How do elves stay winning even when GW hates them so much?

>>96825564
Okay fine. I just impulse bought this despite the fact that I have a pile of shame from 3 armies right now. You convinced me.

My little harlequins army should hit 1000 points with this. I'm gonna have to find some ideas to clownify it up, and I'm definitely painting some eyes on it. Maybe a freehand eye of thoth, just one, because asymmetry is badass.

Well this is going well.
Post neat things you've seen at your flgs.

>>96825599
>she
Pfft

Lol guess I'm not getting the 40k darktide card game

>>96825577
nerd factions attract self emasculating failed men
admech, necrons, tau and thousand sons all appeal to a very similar transgender/gay fanbase

>>96825614
Wierd, I always assumed the coom addicts were /pol/ chuds, not lefties trying to own the chuds.

Lefties usually dont go for the AI sloppa shit ime

>>96825623
>someone made a diorama of the space marine 2 hive tyrant fight
You can't see it but I'm making the onions-face right now

>>96825614
I remember when tomboyposting was done to deal with people on the opposite side of the spectrum.

>>96825623
Oh, it's the mission from SM2. Looks cool as hell.

>>96825639
As per usual, the one responsible for everything that makes me shake and cry is the same person or from the same group of people. Where do you think you are

>96825646
It was literally only ever (you) abd everyone knew you were just samefagging your own bait posts in order to give yourself an excuse to post the same dozen plus unfunny meemays over and over again every thread.

>>96825623
The closest LGS is like 130 km away from where I live so I've never been to one :(

Adepta Sororitas deserve death cult assassin squads.

>>96825646
Tomboy posting never worked. It was just pol shitposters and tomboy shitposters both shitposting at the same time.

>>96825646
The tomboyposter posted tomboys regardless of what was getting posted in the thread, he merely CLAIMED he was doing it to own whatever side, but it was only ever just self serving, and ineffective in the alleged goal.

>>96825564
Some Wraiths I painted, I'll paint the Spiritseer in due time
>>96825615
Unironically GW ignores them so hard that they don't fuck with them. It's literally
>Do nothing
>Wins

>>96825675
I straight fucking forgot the image damn

>>96825536
Grow a spine, retard.
>>96825614
Or it's people intentionally doing it to piss you off because they know you have no self control over your anger.

>>96825669
They're different organisations, assassins go in agents so that other armies can deploy them as well, in an ideal world at least.

>>96825655
a website thats 85% chuds?

>>96825672
He knows that. You're replying to him, after all.

>>96825639
You assumed wrong.

>>96825646
I know its off topic but why did the rightists on pol think leftoids hate tomboys or something. Isnt it like a lefty fetish to have sporty thin women into boy stuff? Its been a really common preference going back 100 years, probably thousands. I've seen flapper shit with tomboys.

>>96825683
Technically death cult aren't a part of the sanctum assassinorum, theyre a weird off shoot of the church that's very much into bloodculting.

>>96825515
>>96825533
How many more ritual posts you going to spam with today sloppy joe?

>>96825697
>into bloodculting
that's just the particular cult from Rogue Trader, and they're not a subset of the Ministorum, they are their own, sanctioned religious organizations.

>>96825696
>everyone I don't like is the same person

>>96825683
No they go together with SoB as non-SoB auxiliaries in the manner of arco-flagellants, sanctifiers, frateris militia, etc. It's how it always should have been.

>>96825669
Death cult belong in Agents, because they are an unaligned imperial faction and thats what Agents is. The sisters IS the ecclesiarchy, which is why we have arco flagellants and ministorum priests. Death Cults dont work for the Ecclesiarchy they are unaligned minor cults. Some MAY be sanctioned as non heretical tolerated different denominations or work for them when manipulated but, ultimately, they aren't direct servants of the Ministorum and thus not directly employed by the government.

>>96825709
>everyone I don't like is the same person
Grim

>>96825679
Graveyard craftworld best craftworld

>>96825715
True, what I really meant was that they have closer ties to the ministorum than they do to the assassinorum, which is why it could be justified to have them a part of the SoB's.

>>96825721
>The sisters IS the ecclesiarchy
In a technical sense the Ministorum and the Sororitas are two separate entities, not one and the same.

>>96825716
legit i have no clue what you are talking about. I'm not coming at this from a rightoid or leftoid perspective, just trying to understand your perspective. Tomboys predate the culture war. I dont understand why rightoids would think its a weapon in the culture war to drive out leftoids. Did people really think posting tomboys in /40kg/ was some sort of political weapon?

>>96825720
They should be something you can ally in. SoB is the Ecclesiarchy, death cults arent part of the Ecclesiarchy so they should be something you ally in through agents.

>>96825731
Grassy ass amigo!

>>96825745
While you are right, the highest ranking Abbes serves the Ecclesiarch.

>>96825527
Next year, probably. They included the weird sprues of horrors of the hive in nids battleforce this year for christmas, maybe next year they will try to clear shelves of the old sprues and DeathGuards will get the the Dark Imperium style of battleforce. Throw in two push-fit blighthaulers and scalpers would eat that up.

Do you guys think GW will ever make mechanicum units into 40k legends?
Also post models.

>>96825697
interesting, then I agree with you

>>96825792
Apparently the guy doing it died of cancer and they decided not to because they have an in house policy of not continuing dead peoples work.

>>96825792
no
only a change in ceo could shift the current direction of keeping gw and fw separate

>>96825806
If that were true then they would have completely shut down Forge World when Alan Bligh passed away.

>>96825555
>complains about slop
>posts the artwork of a pedophile
Many such cases. Sad!

>>96825792
Is that your GF in the background?

>>96825806
>Apparently the guy doing it died of cancer
His name was Alan Bligh and he was a true hobbyist.

>>96825806
Bullshit. They decided not to because Jes Goodwin hates the Forgeworld Aesthetic for AdMech.

>>96825829
Jes goodwin needs to get his head out of his ass

>>96825564
Have you read Voidscarred yet Aeldaribro? It's totally awesome, definitely the best Aeldari book ever! It's like The Infinite And The Divine but for Aeldari! Mike Brooks was totally on point, hopefully Games Workshop has him write more Aeldari in the future, his Corsairs are WAY cooler than the old Aeldari.

>>96825818
I wish. I've yet to let my GF know about my oshi.
Now what have you been working on, anon?

>>96825792
Pic rel is me repainting my shieldstodes and a blade champion.
Kinda regretted putting on the moss effect on their 1st paint job, but ah well. It is what it is.

>>96825853
My Hellblasters....very slowly

>>96825792
>>96825806

I don't know about the "in house policy of not continuing dead peoples work" part but I do know the expansion that Forge World was making before 8th edition was Fires of Cyraxus which was indeed centered primarily on Tau vs Adeptus Mechanicus. And it unfortunately did come to a halt when Alan Bligh passed away. By this point I do not see them trying to bring this back, the only thing they've kept were the already made minis into legends but I think a lot of them are OOP too

>>96825842
I met Mike Brooks one, nice guy. He signed one of my books and gave my a little kiss on the wiener.

>>96825817
You do not belong here and never will
go simp for the rights of pixels on bluesky

>>96825857
>moss effect
You could try doing a blood effect, or black ichor if they're fighting daemons, just paint the chunks a bit brighter so they're easy to pick out.

>>96825864
Every little bit counts, so long as you're happy with the final product anon, I'll look forward to seeing them when their finanly complete

>>96825864
Put the trip back on

>>96825900
Ty king!

>>96825615
Jes Goodwin's god tier design language and overall aesthetic for Eldar has saved them from obliteration thousands of times.

>>96825909
Its too distracting

>>96825925
yet the three best looking eldar sculpts weren't done by jes

>>96825899
I'm one of the first users of /tg/.
I disagree with your opinion.

Any ideas for Harlequin wraithlord?

>>96825949
Really big shoes.

I wish there was a good way to take a photo of the glossy stained glass effect but just trust me it looks cool in person

>>96825988
Looks great, the only thing I'd change is add some red to the flames

>>96825982
Radiation

>>96825988
You know what would really make it look good?
If you posted a video of it spinning.

You should post your favorite model that you've painted.

They are a termite to the Imperiums boot

>>96826090
Those are the bigger bases, I had to resize everything when I got back into the hobby. The old ones would roll over if you looked at them funny.

>>96826304
Nonsensical lorelet babble from an inferior species lover.

>>96826369
Even space marines acknowledge that the Imperium can’t muster the energy to take out the Tau, not for lack of resources but because of the way the Imperium works, being so ancient and rotten that even minor crusades take 100 years to prepare.

>>96826378
Can we give it a few days grace before having the exact same conversation again, blueaboo?

>>96826369

>the way the Imperium works, being so ancient and rotten that even minor crusades take 100 years to prepare.
Nah m8 we can have that done before supper and still break for tea and biscuits at noon

>>96825696
There are leftist articles claiming tomboys are fascist

Plus modern leftists want to trans them, the idea that a woman can like "boy stuff" and still fundamentally be a woman is more of a rightist thing these days

Not that that universally applies to everyone with particular political views

>>96826421
>There are leftist articles claiming tomboys are fascist
There are also rightist articles claiming tomboys are gay.

>>96826421
>>96826428
>both sides are mentally retarded.
Good, glad you guys faggots could figure this out finally.

How about some 40k shit?

Ok, let's get this out onto a tray.

>>96826410
And yet Guilliman still could not take back the worlds Chaos took nor defeat the Silent King and his own Ultramarines defy his orders and run off to do their own thing

>>96826468

>we may have to add a couple zeroes, or a handful
Frankly these bitches might be rarer than the banana guards they follow around.

>>96826378
Yeah, it is funny to me that how people still bitch over tau.

Imperium could 100% steamroll the tau and wipe them off the map if they wanted to. However, doing this would require the Imperium to divert resources and manpower from other much more important and urgent warzones/frontiers to do so.
Which then has the issue that it leaves these other areas much more vulnerable and harder to defend. And situations like these it's where xenos like the dark eldar, orks and tyranids and even both genestealer- and chaos cults are the most dangerous, ie. minorly guarded planets.
Which can easily lead into a death spiral for the regions, which could also spread outward onto other planets.
That's the reason why the Imperium can't "just" kill the tau, it's not so simple.

>>96826508
Might as well wonder how the traitor legions still have enough numbers to invade entire star systems after 10.000 years.

>>96826480
Nice hiss!

I found this channel just a few months ago, didn't know he was a /k/ darling. I have a box of MREs in my garage I took home after a mission a few years ago and ate one while watching.

Chili mac goes hard I dont care what people say.

>>96826555
the ride never ends

>>96826508
The reason is because the lunar matriarchs had a way higher number of blanks. They existed in enough numbers to exist before the emperor negotiated them into his empire.

>>96826568
I know nothing about their lore. Why are they all mute?

If i want to start White scars army and i already ordered their combat patrol will new terminator box gonna be good pick?

>>96826566
I like the fluff but you can tell these powerlevelfags and HFYfags live their lives entirely through 40k fluff and its sad

>>96826579
Terminators are terrible but the games going to change in like 6 months so get it ifnyounlikenit anyways you fucking slut.

>>96826588
They're terrible, but also by far the only cool unit space marines have.

>>96826588
> you fucking slut
why so rude? Im new in tabletop i wanted honest answer not making fun of me

>>96826517
Precisely, and the Imperium will never be able to afford to focus on the Tau because every year they have fewer and fewer planets, while the Tau have more. The Damocles Crusade was a fairly small crusade, but it also represents the absolute best chance the Imperium ever had to wipe out the Tau and they blew it, If the Imperium couldn’t afford the resources to wipe out the Tau before the Great Rift and before the Tau doubled in size, they sure as fuck can’t do it now that daemons are everywhere, the necrons are waking up, the Tyranids are spreading, half of the Imperium is cut off, and the Tau have tripled in strength.

>>96826588
Bro, if anon was a slut he wouldn't be on this board go begin with.

>>96826072
Agreed.

>>96825842
I absolutely loved that he made aeldari non-binary niggers! And he wrote them so close to their tactics in the lore, omg.
There are three cool huge space battles, and in each of them the Corsairs just go straight into a slugging match with Ork fleet at a boarding distance.
Stunning and brave.

>>96826585
Yeah, arguing about fucking power levels in a lore of a plastic toy soldier game is some next level retardation

>>96826563
I thought Chili Mac was one of the better tasting ones
At least that's what my friend in the army told me

>>96826579
Terminators are very cool but a little underpowered in rules right now. Rules can change but they will always be cool.

y thred so slow rn?

/mydudes/ could effortlessly defeat any other faction in the setting except for /yourdudes/, since they'd be evenly matched and thus the perfect, eternal rivals on the galactic stage

>>96826678

>>96826716
Seems fair.

>>96826715
Everyone is getting their heads kicked in by drukhari in games. Things will pick up in 4-5 hours with salt.

>>96825584
Drukhari can no longer run corsairs, the rule was removed along with 1/3 of their range, with the Court being substituted by the Hand of thhe Archon and Urien replaced by Malys. No clue what gw is doing.

>>96826577
Cultural trait of the Selenar, from who the sisters of silence are descended.

>>96826741
They got patched yesterday. Drukhari armies can take 25% of their points as Harlequin or Corsairs same as regular Eldar.

>>96826729
Appreciate the anime girls. But fucking eewwwww, repuslors were the biggest mistake GW ever made.

Much better Symphogear Imperial Knights

However

Am I able to take Reaper's Gambit to take all the 'quins I want, then activate the rule so I can also bring corsairs, or am I restricted?

Is the Harlequin Combat Patrol worth getting?
Seems like no one uses Harlequins anymore.

>patient stalk, sudden *blow*
How do I get a stalker Striking Scorpion gf?

>new Boltgun has a Sister of Battle as a playable character
I wonder if she’ll get a model. Seems like a good opportunity to raise the Sister’e profile more in the mainstream, barring a Space Marine 3 appearance.

>>96826852
Is there a new boltgun?
Boltgun wasn't really very good, but a sisters of battle game would be cool (preferably not boltgun though).

>>96826847
You don't.

>>96826769
I dont think you know what a shitpost is.

>>96826847
Tell her you are considering joining an incubi temple unless she has any other ideas.....

>>96826755
I remember seeing the wips for this guy's first one and going "that's a very cool idea to do once, but will likely look a little strange the more you add". I'm glad this didn't lead to a whole slew of these conversions like alpha legion cloaking or other meme conversions because it makes the first guys stuff more special

>>96826847
>no boob armor on actual models
Sad and unfortunate.

>>96826859
It’s been announced and details are starting to come out with Warhammer Day soon. I thought Boltgun is fine for what it wanted to do, though I think it waits too long to show you actually cool enemies and weapons.

>>96826878
Join the dark kin, we have plenty of boob plate.

>>96826863
Posting about politics in a warhammer thread is undeniably a shitpost.

>>96826878
The torso is just a normal guardian torso with a chevron over their micropenis. If you wanted tits on your aspect warriors it takes almost no effort to do so

>>96826072
I heard she fucks black men.

>>96826886
My problem with boltgun is that boomershooters back in the day weren't TRYING to be janky and poor quality. They just had to be. There's a fine line you have to walk trying to invoke the feeling of those retro games while also not actually doing it badly, and I think boltgun falls too far on the side of seeming intentionally *low effort* not intentionally *dated*. I just watched the new trailer and it looks like it's going to have a similar issue.
It was fun enough, it's just not particularly good.

>>96826905
Salamanders get all the luck.

>>96826718
Nope. And fuck you.

>>96826901
>The torso is just a normal guardian torso
It's not. All of the torsos are unique and the guardian kit is not compatible.

Tau lore is more interesting than fanon among Taufags. Like how in Shadowsun the main point is Shadowsun realizing her Reddit atheism is dumb because she gets saved by the Tau’va a million times and the human constructed shrines are the only places on planets invaded by the Death Guard that are not corrupted by Nurgle’s plagues

There’s definitely going to be a religion maxing splinter faction of the Tau

>>96826795
Huh, well I'll bet if there is a new Corsair wave coming then they'll get a "50% Corsairs, no Harlequins" Detachment too

>>96826959
I want Tau psykers.
>b-but auxiliaries
No.

>>96826834
You never had a Reaper?

Any necron players here? How fun is the army right now?
Is it playable if one doesn't go for c'tan?

>>96826993

Yeah, it's fun. You can play ranged, melee or hybrid. Ctan are strong but not required, especially at 2k points or below. The army is slow and tanky so look elsewhere if you want speedy elf bullshit.

Personally I prefer chaos rat idols.

Are Necrons as much of a threat to the Imperium as the undead were to the Empire? For context, in Fantasy, Nagash had equal billing to the Chaos Gods as the overall baddest evil guy around. Would you say that Necrons occupy a similar narrative niche as their fantasy counterparts?

>>96827239
I was actually praising their lore because it's interesting. It's the Taufags I dislike

>>96827248
No. They're not united, some were still sleeping, and others were damaged by the Great Sleep. They also lose some % of Necrons permanently in every battle. The Necron lore from their perspective can come across as desperate despite their advanced technology. They have a much better chance at winning than most factions but they're not truly Winning

>>96827248
>Are Necrons as much of a threat to the Imperium as the undead were to the Empire?
Way, way more of a threat.

Put it this way, the Necrons are to the Imperium, what the Imperium is to the Tau.

Why fabricate something so easy to google, or are you about to claim that the flat arm joints and the round head joints are somehow impossible to marry

>>96827261
It's a bit of a cheat, but since the release agent used is similar to gasoline you can just set your models on fire and quickly extinguish them to remove the release agent.

>>96827262
No it's pretty much correct. If the Necrons ever actually focused on the Imperium, they'd crush them, the only reason they don't is because they're too busy fighting each other to bother with such a minor nuisance.

>>96827248
No.

Don't get me wrong, they're as much of a threat as you would expect a massive, incredibly advanced empire to be. But the reason Chaos is the big bad is because the call is coming from inside the house. You can spot a Necron from a mile away, but Chaos could be living in the hab next door. An entire planet can fall to Chaos without the greater Imperium noticing until it's too late.

Nagash has more plot armor than anyone else because he is the greatest Volcel in history. Morathi tried to seduce him in Age of Sigmar and he bitchslapped her so hard it might as well have shattered a hole in reality

>>96827272
On the other hand, chaos are a bunch of insane retards incapable of working together, with many being barely sentient beyond their obsessions.

>>96827277
The Necrons are fighting each other because they don't have to take the Imperium seriously. Even Guilliman mustering as many resources of the Imperium as he can was unable to pose a threat to a single Necron dynast.

>>96827284
Someone was asking if the Necrons are billed the same was as Nagash and undead. The answer is lol fuck no

>>96827264
I had no idea you were talking about such a retarded, lazy and low quality kitbash like swapping arms and heads. You should be disappointed in yourself for even bringing it up.

>>96827288
The Imperium has wiped out multiple necron dynasties and they can in fact be defeated by Imperial forces. This is shown in books like The Twice Dead King. Necrons are not invincible. Cawl actually captured a necron gf of his very own and keeps her prisoner

>>96827248
Not currently. They have the potential to be an end threat, but it likely won't be realised due to internal conflicts and a general lack of motivation for rapid conquest. The Tyranids fill that niche in 40k. I like this as the internal necron squabbles are more interesting to me than a simple unending tide of killer robots.

Necrons are more of an ancient, stagnant yet incredibly dangerous power vibe. They're not the conquering enemy at the gates, they're the monster in the cave. Don't go in the cave, lock your doors when it comes out for its own mysterious reasons. Don't poke the sleeping robo giant.

>>96827282
Emperor is Drachenfels.

>>96827193
I'm sure they could be canon, just as non combatants so they can sit on their fat asses and gossip over their bluetooths.

>>96827293
>The Imperium has wiped out multiple necron dynasties
Only the ones that were already severely depleted and damaged. The Imperium is basically a termite to the Necron's boot, if the Necrons ever wanted to they'd just crush them, the Imperium survives because they can't be bothered to.

>>96827295
>Necrons are more of an ancient, stagnant yet incredibly dangerous power vibe.
Tomb Kings had that too, while a subfaction of them (Nagash's) were a world ending threat.

>>96827291
There's no difference between a guardian torso and striking scorpion torso beyond penis chevrons. I'm sorry a minor detail is beyond your ability, but I had a feeling your issue was a skill based one or lack thereof

>>96827301
>The Imperium is basically a termite to the Necron's boot,

Nah. The Silent King tries to convince Guilliman to surrender by making this argument and Guilliman rightly tells him he's full of shit or he wouldn't have to say it. There is no faction in 40k that could easily defeat the Imperium. It's actually the strongest faction even if it is decaying/in decline. That's part of the point of the setting

>>96827248
Not the same, because Necrons don't have a Nagash counterpart to corrupt/rally them.

How is "the necrons would easily win if they weren't divided" not just like "the imperium would easily win if they weren't divided and drawn to chaos"

if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass

>>96827238
the glasses make her look like that chick from vampire the masquerade

>>96827315
>and Guilliman rightly tells him he's full of shit or he wouldn't have to say it.
And then the Silent King casually decimates Guilliman's army single handedly and Guilliman is forced to retreat admitting that not only did he miserably fail but he was wrong to ignore the Eldar's warnings.

>>96827303
Yeah it's not completely binary opposites. They have similarities and differences. Necrons can also be an order-aligned faction at times, they helped the imperium out in the fall of Cadia, and ancient necron bullshit is often an anti-chaos macguffin. They're their own thing. Almost like a fallen empire in stellaris of you've played it. Ancient, hyper powerful, strange motives, not rapidly expanding but capable of striking with extreme strength if you get in their way, often you have no idea what they want or why.

>>96827330

Guilliman had a small force with him. I think my criticism of Guilliman is that despite supposedly being a super genius he leads from the front WAY too much. It's dumb and also why he got fucked by Fulgrim after the heresy. Guilliman loses control of himself sometimes. Don't get me wrong, Necrons are powerful, as I said they are one of the factions that can win. Could they easily crush the imperium? No.

>>96827248
Oldcrons were specifically the slaves to darkness but reverso so the Star Gods had a rivalry with the chaos gods in thirsting for the yummy soul energy of mortals.

Newcrons and Nucrons (2025) are kind of gay, they alway seem like they're doing "something" but never actually get around to doing it.

The Necrons have been playing with the Imperiurm with kid gloves. If they wanted to they could just boop the Solar System with their Celestial Orrery and Holy Terra gets devoured by the fucking sun.

>>96827333
Necrons ARE order aligned, just like Tomb Kings. They both universe-ending threats like chaos, just from the other side of the spectrum.

>>96827333
They're not really that strange, they just don't agree with each other. Some of them want to become like the c'tan. Other wants to return to biological bodies. Some are cool with being Necrons. It's the same for how their dynasties interact with xenos. Some of them actually have human vassals, some of them wipe out all life, necrons are like a bunch of small empires. The ego of each necron lord makes them think their way is correct.

>>96827313
You're very lazy, anon. As I've said, you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing such a lazy "kitbash" up and I really mean that. We were talking about two completely different things. You talking about skill level when bringing up headswaps and considering it a kitbash is actually pathetic. The torsos are different. I'm sorry that you can't see that but that's not surprising.

Trazyn is probably unironically the most rational necron. He helped Cadia because he realized that chaos scoring Ws against the Imperium would be very bad. He's also one of the few necrons that understands the imperium because he is a Horus Heresy lorefag (canonically it is what made him interested in humans) so he gets the situation more

>>96827364
I'm not that anon, I'm just making fun of you for being incapable of doing something a middle schooler could, sorry

If the necrons are so strong why are they scared of chaos?

>>96827398
>if byzantium is so strong why are they scared of robert guiscard?

>>96827398
Because Chaos might kill all the fleshlings and if that happens the Necrons will have nobody to biotransfer into. Same reason they fear the Tyranids, they're not scared that their robot bodies will be eaten, the Tyranids avoid Necron worlds anyways, but if all biological life is eaten then they're stuck in their robot bodies forever.

>>96827398
They aren't. Chaos is just bullshit fuckery they are tired of.

>>96827352
>>that's so hard it's impossible
Never said it's impossible. It's just a lot of work for little pay off. I was talking about using the front of the Guardian torsos on the Aspect bodies. Swapping arms and heads is just plain stupid.

Eldar typically look beautiful to humans but are unsettling rather than attractive. The way they move is *wrong*. It's an uncanny valley effect. They're close to humans but are deeply inhuman.

I assume that some of the Eldar's disgust for humans is this in reverse. Humans are like Eldar but we move in a slower clumsy way that just seems off

>>96827571
The slaves of the Imperium have already surrendered their liberty to foreigners. First they surrendered to the God-Emperor who could hardly be considered human in the first place, and then he created Primarchs and Space Marines to rule over humanity and yet these creatures were devoid of much of human emotions, literally incapable of experiencing a substantial part of what makes us human. And then the Emperor and the other overlords sold out humanity to the Chaos gods and the Dark Eldar and other monsters, and then invited the Tyranids to dine upon humanity, woke up the Necrons to flay humanity living, and attracted the Orks to brutalize humanity.

Humanity was never asked if they wanted any of this. In fact, humanity rejected this...and was forcefully conquered and enslaved beneath the Imperium's bootheel. There is no liberty of the species. Only race traitors who you've developed stockholm syndrome for.

Magnetising infantry is terminally autistic. Just pick your favourite weapons and hope for the best.

>>96827789
If points cost were a factor that decision would be a bit easy, but now that everything is free there's no reason not to, so pick the coolest looking one, and if you want to use a different special weapon just tell your opponent.

Insider here
11th Edition begins with the marriag of Guilliman and Yvraine, yet before they say their vows Fulgrim appears and declares that it was HIM who first took Guilliman's virginity, and he has come back to steal Guilliman away from Yvraine.
At that point Lion makes his entrance and declares that it was actually him who slept with Fulgrim, and he had been mistaken for Guilliman after having shaved earlier that day.
There's also a subplot of Yarrick returning from the dead as a zombie to fight Angron, with Ghazghkull arriving to help halfway through.

>>96827949
Ahh ok. I won’t worry about it then.

>>96827825
It's all legal. The only issue you will ever run into, is that if you decide to play with a truly worthless, autistic, waste of space, they may say "I don't want to play against that because I'm on the spectrum, and change is hard for me". At which point you can just say "okay, I will play with someone else.". You people make a mountain out of a molehill with this shit every time. Talk to your fucking opponents, don't play with annoying people, this is an easily avoidable problem if you're an adult, with the most bare minimum of social skills.

a troupe is always worse than your first squad of howling banshees, but is a valid choice even instead of a second squad of howling banshees.
>they can't advance and charge, harder to use offensively
>they don't have fights first, harder to use defensively
> the leader choices are weaker than the autarch or jain-zar

BUT
clowns are versatile, Devastating wounds are make them anti-everything instead of anti-infantry like the banshees. sure, you are fishing for 6's but you have 25 attacks in a troupe, if the fire dragons fuck up and fail to kill that knight, your clowns can swoop in and fish out those last 3 wounds.
versatile units come at a premium in this army but they're worth gold. 30 swooping hawks was a winning army list because shitting out 15 mortal wounds a turn into ANY sort of target is really strong.
I don't use clowns because I don't own clowns yet, but to give an example of what I think a versatile unit is, my shining spear squad. strength 6 on the charge and flat 3 damage makes them strong into TEQ, but the anti-keywords make them strong into monsters and vehicles too. They are worse at those respective jobs than either fire dragons or howling banshees, but they make a good backup when I fuck up and get the primary unit killed.

your clowns with their fancy 4++ are also a little tiny bit tougher than your other elves, so they're more likely to find themselves in a position where they are alive and your specialist unit has died that they need to replace.

clowns are also a good source of powerful lone OP units which is good for scoring and stuff. The solitaire is a beast

the fluff is:
>the Inquisitor, Nathanial "Whitecloak" Marov
>befriended the Jokaero after saving the creature from members of the Dark Mechanicum
>they wanted to enslave it for their dark purposes
>its since improved and recrafted much of the Inquisitor's now entirely custom suit of terminator armor
>yes, he is friends with the monkey

>>96827986
the weapons attach to the left forearm
but you'll also need to magnetize the right arm so you can move it up and down

gonna play some 4e soon, working on converting the new prime model since the warriors still look like ass

I think we’re reaching the bottleneck for what plastic toys should cost. Gw should probably look towards reintroducing start collectings or do what conquest does and package everything in discount boxes.
The upfront costs will still be high but at least people will fool themselves with savings.

>>96828147
We haven't. I bet we'll see a box of intercessors hit $80 USD in less than 2 years

>>96828175
I still don’t know how your faction ahsdnt been properly deleted yet.
Do they even still produce the upgrade sprue for it.

>>96828175
If you end up against an armor-heavy list, do you have any options other than that one twin lascannon and dreadnought multi-melta?

Additionally, looks like you have no chaff or screen units. If you can afford to, might be worth your while to throw in some scouts/jump pack intercessors/infiltrators

>>96828224
Deathwatch cant have scouts (all veteran army), so I guess I could get those infiltrating guys. I've always liked the librarian in phobos armor, so maybe Ill get him too one day. My plan was to shoot the blackstar forward and use the aggressors to screen because they are tough and good at shooting and melee. Talonstrike is 50% JP intercessors and DW vets are both melee, so do I need screening if I have two giant melee bricks who just want to unga bunga forward? Also my anti vehicle is 4 deathwatch thunderhammers in the vet squad and the plasma exterminators hit on 5s against everything that isnt a titan. And I can improve the AP/ignore cover on any ranged unit for 1 CP (watch master and gravis captain get it for free from non conflicting captain rules).

I was thinking of getting a unit of intercessors just for sticky objectives and I can kitbash them from firstborn bodies.

So maybe swap the 5 man vet unit for intercessors (they are there for home objective)?

And then add anti vehicle with predator w/ lascannon? Not sure what marines uses for AV thats good.

actual 4e
I got the rulebook and a few codices off someone at a swap meet and convinced a half dozen of my buddies to play

If I wasnt such a retard when it came to picking and sticking to a color scheme I swear I'd paint at least 10x faster.

OH SHIT THE LAST INDIVIDUAL MODEL YOU PAINTED IS THE TARGET OF A KABALITE CONTRACT AND A RAVAGER JUST DEEPSTRIKED INFRONT OF YOU!!1!!
>does it survive triple dark lance

>>96828508
Everybody would love that so it won't happen.

slap chop is such a game changer....im able to paint so many of /mydudes/ in a session and not have to spend so long on one individual model. picrel is my most recent wip !

>>96828631
This is vomit inducing. I'm not even trying to be mean.

>>96828656
you may not be trying but you are succeeding :(

>>96828656
its a wip anon idk what u expected lol. heres what they look like when done

>>96828662
I just don't understand why are you refusing to learn the basics and try painting using that knowledge. Like it takes one viewing of a painting tutorial for Ultramarines. Base, shade, layer, highlight or even try using a Contrast method. You can do it. Don't resort to slap chop, you can do better than this. You can take your time, no need ro rush.

>>96828667
I'd highly recommend simply layering some regular blue acrylic paint over the middle of the armor panels where it ends up patchy. It will balance things out and produce a much better result.

>>96828667
oh and you need to clean up the gold where you spilled it onto the blue, like that should be basic 101 first steps after base coating the model.

>>96828667
Everyone needs to start somewhere, but treat slapchop like training wheels unless your goal is to paint quickly to meet tabletop acceptable standard. Even still, if you refine your techniques and keep practicing with the goal of doing better on each model slapchop will still give you good results until you decide that you want a different look.

>>96828667
I get that you've heard this before, but if you ask the same question you'll get the same answer. You're going through models at lightning speed, which means you can't put a lot of time and care into each one, and you're using the "get it done quick and dirty" stereotyped painting technique. You're also kinda past the beginner's training wheel encouragement stage.

I'm not trying to be mean but you get out what you put in. If you want an army panted fast to an ok standard, that's great, you're doing what you need for that. You can be happy with that no problem.

But if you want compliments on a quality paint job you'll need more than you're doing to earn them. It just is what it is.

>>96828631
>>96828667
Looks alright, I think your newer guys got a much more consistent coat of your highlight colour than the first guys, they'll probably look a lot smoother than your first dude. Personally I would do my gold trim after I did my coat of talassar so you don't have to stress about steering your brush around it while you do your blue.

>>96828720
Not everything is about seeking compliments or validation, sometimes you share just for sharing's sake.

>>96828720
>But if you want compliments on a quality paint job you'll need more than you're doing to earn them. It just is what it is.
Please don't encourage them to flaunt being a woman or an approximation of female again. Last thing we need is a simp and white knight resurgence.

>>96828744
We are post internet. Most people here are incels who hate women. I think we are good to make fun of a foid who refuses to learn to paint.

>>96828667
genuinely looks fine anon. This thread is full of nogames that never seen the state of models some people show up with. If I'm at a store of strangers and my opponent shows up with a fully slapchopped-to-completion army, I'm beyond 100% satisfied.
The ONLY thing I would request is you lay some texture paint down on that base after painting and hit it with some agrax shade, then paint the rim. Even a based model with average paintjob >>> unbased model with above average paint job as far as I care.

Would this be a fair price?

>>96828780
Yea, thats pretty decent if you dont mind it all built already.

>>96828631
>>96828667
Just have fun anon. When you eventually run into something you'd like to improve on or try just come and ask us. Outside that, go at your own pace, you don't owe anyone here anything. There's a big thing with middling painters jumping on beginners because they feel as though they've learned enough to warrant being condescending and there's a lot more beginners to rip on. It is good to absorb some of the things they're saying and just keep in your back pocket, but it's just not worth getting stressed over whatever mean word they decided to use to make themselves feel better about their own stuff. The other thing to keep in mind is there is a very large portion of anons who are on the spectrum, and you are interacting with their special interest. You will find that there are people who just can't stop talking, refuse to understand your point of view, and lash out when you tell them you aren't interested in what they are saying. Some of these people may mean well, but not really understand how to react when someone tells them they aren't interested in whatever they're rambling about.

>>96828761

>>96828796
Idr that comment chain but I will say that NL looks fine to me. It has intention, fine details painted, good color choice. It is what it is. Its not banon but its a model anyone can be happy about.

>>96828796
It's like when someone is taking their first psych 101 class and now they know you better than you know yourself, and they're gonna tell you all about it.

thanks anon ily <3 your kind words mean so much more than random haters. and dw im enjoying every second of building and painting my army...I look forward to it on every off day from work eagerly :)

W sister
I still slap chop my space marines as a starting point even on characters after painting about a year. I will layer in details and cleanup but on marines I will base them entirely in contrast after drybrush and a lot of the time thats 70% to 80% done. Not trying to claim or show off anything other than its a method you can grow with as much as any other. ESPECIALLY if my goal is to actually use these game pieces this lifetime, but have something I enjoy looking at.

>>96828400
Wait Corsairs use fucking jump generators? Christ she's just waving her soul ass at Slaanesh.

Some people say DG should have no good shooting but wasn't trench warfare the preferred way of fighting for DG? Which sort of precludes gratuitous amounts of artillery paired with assaulting groups with flamethrowers and other close-range weapons?

>>96828667
I honestly dont know what looks worse, the mini or the nail

>>96829099
Corsairs dont give a FUCK bro

>>96829109
Those people sound retarded. DG should have worse melee because they're slow as fuck brainrotted zombos

I don't get how corsairs stop their souls being eaten.
Craftworlders meditate and follow their oaths and shit
Dark eldar feed on pain and fear
Clowns are protected by cegorach
How do corsairs not have the soul drain like dark eldar do?

>>96827528

>>96829151
they are protected by an aura of smugness even she-who-thirsts cannot penetrate

Eldar bros, Warhost (2 buses) or Aspect Host (1 bus)?

>>96829151
They don't stop it, they simply live dangerous short lives and die early, and if they're lucky enough they have a seer guiding their souls into a stone instead of slaanesh's gullet
unless they grow out of playing pirate before slaanesh finishes getting them for good and settle on a craftworld, maiden world or in commorragh

I'd also guess that slaanesh's attentions are at their strongest where there are large concentrations of eldar and of psychically active and/or hedonistic eldar, so, again, the populations of a world, craftworld, or commorragh, so pirate crews like that probably feel a reduced soul drain because they're less numerous and because they're not THAT psychically active or THAT hedonistic in any case, just a bit

>>96829151
>Craftworlders meditate and follow their oaths and shit
They carry gems that capture their souls upon death so Slaanesh doesnt get it to nom on it.
Corsairs clearly carry those gems too.

>>96829215
the soulstones don't stop slaanesh from killing the eldar, they only stop slaanesh from eating the eldar's soul on death

the path system is what protects the craftworlders from dying due to slaanesh's gnawing influence

>>96829215
Don't spirit stones get corrupted and lose efficacy anyway if they lead too hedonistic of a life style or something? They still need to live very proscriptive loves of restricted emotional heights or something.

Let's mosey

>>96829217
I'd expect for the most part that there aren't old Corsairs - they have their teenaged elf rebel phase and then grow out of it and return to their Craftworlds or Commorragh. The few that don't presumably either pick up enough autistic coping methods or just get eaten by Slaanesh.
