>>98875317permanente, maricon
What model is this?
>TQMost likely impossible really or I am just not smart enough to think of something.>but For me this would be positive change off the top of my head:Retcon the "galaxy edge regions" like the ghoul stars and halo starzones etc. to be much larger regions than they are to act as "truly unknown regions" compared to the areas of the galaxy. We'll say that the Imperium of Man never got that far, and they'll be the "chaos wastes space" of Warhammer 40k. With "eyes of the storm" here and there. An even more "I do what I want" but without warp stuff.
>>98875326Admech dunecrawler.
Check out my knight :DAs a newfag it's one of my only models who I'm actually happy with.>why is he purpleIt's supposed to evoke Roman leaders being elevated to the purple>why can't you rotate imagesI blame moot
Would you rather be isekai’d into 40k or into a random chinese cultivation setting?In either case you are born as a random human
>>98875341Not bad for a first model. Varnish to "archive" it as you progress in this miniature painting hobby. In the future I'd recommend some weathering to the vehicles. Knights included. Here's a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGVj6IEyj_E9:02 is when the weathering starts in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az84Qs0cn5UGenerally a piece of sponge will be very helpful in creating chipping effects if one wants to solely stick with acrylics for weathering vehicles.This might help a lot even if it isn't about weathering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqOdqeiUxg4Duncan Rhodes' tutorials are really good. Even when he's shilling his paints.
>>98875341
>>98875352 (me)One more thing. I just remembered. Watering down a rusty orange brown color to an "orange milk" consistency then watering it a little more can make it into a good "rust wash" if you want to avoid rust effect paints on a budget.There's probably more for me to remember, but I'm tired right now.
>Chronic nightmares of having to go back over spots I have missed>Take a photo cause felt like I have almost got every spot>Pic fucking relatedAnons; I really hate painting. I will not self reflect on how much of a shit painter I am
>>98875370This is why I play NecronsNot only are they cool as fuck, but easy to paint
>>98875317Holy shit y'all weren't kidding, that's a lot of decals indeed.Nah but vehicles are supposed to be literally millennia old, right? One honor per century would mean 100 decals on heresy-era stuff. Halve it and it's still 50 icons.
>>98875372It would be nice if Ghost Arks could transport anything besides the most basic troops.
are there any usecase for Fellgor Beastmen or traitor guardsman over cultist?I got just 10 cultist so I wonder if I want second one or grab something different at leastcause I only need one to sticky the home base
What is a good detachment for Kataphrons?
>>98875317nice job
think i've finally found a black skin recipe i like>chu lookin at wyboi?
Let chaos coalburners take this thread!
>>98875391What's the recipe, please? It is a good one. I want to paint some chocolate Eldar ladies with coomer STL heads if I can find any.
I've been trying to come up with a decent Sisters color scheme but they just don't look good if you stray too far from the default colors. Pretty much every alternate color scheme you see online is just black armor with a different colored robe.
I feel like the reason GW prices are always so outrageous is because it is a peak boomer company. Basically the "I know what I got" seller mentality boomers have whenever they go to swap meets.
>>98875461Pick an atypical colored black. A blue black or a green black. Personally I think doing bloody rose with like a dark wine red color looks great.
Give me the final ultimate rundown on whether to learn and run Knights as an actual armyI like Chaos Knights as models, but feel wary of it being such a skew list
>>98875484Just play Imperial Knights they’re highly customizable
>Characters are becoming neck-and-neck with one another>Styrix/Megaera/OG CK upgrade kit is only a 30% markup from the castellan/cerastus frame kits>Knight Atropos is $7 cheaper than a cawl-pattern dread>most primarchs are now cheaper than a patrol box>picrel is now $20 cheaper than both Skarbrand and a generic bloodthirster as is Corbax with the GUOWhat the fuck happened!?
>>98875470That's what I was thinking. Maybe a near-black turquoise like some Drukhari are painted with.
>>98875380The hell are you talking about, those look like dogshit
>>98875518He's just samefagging ignore himThe pedo will reply to me saying he never samefags despite him forgetting to turn his trip off when doing so before LMAOOO

>>98875520Oh, gotcha. That's pretty pathetic.>>98875521I don't own any primaris marines, they're all kind of garbage and anyone who buys them is beneath me.

Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98875499>GW changing rules to making armies more "elite" so they can justify selling less models in boxes >still manages to overprice everything 40k related Shrinkflation but for plastic models.
With all the shit GW pull I'm wondering if it's even worth it to be into 40k
>>98875538IG used to come in boxes of 20, now they're boxes of 10 but somehow more expensive.
>>98875531Dam son i love crimson fist. good job.
>>98875531You're like the opposite of the Space Wolves guy - humble, a good painter, based beyond belief
>crimson fists are totally different to imperial fists because we're differently coloured>this deserves a whole army and codex>oh but all eldar are the sameI fucking hate how James is so biased towards 'reens

>>98875313>TQRetcon the 13 Black Crusades as being ran individually by separate chaos lords over the millennia, Abaddon's being the most recent and successful. This does a few things:>makes Abby not look like a complete fucking retard who needs 13 attempts to crack one planet>gives GW the excuse to expand on the setting by making models and fluff for the other lords/warbands that have tried to take Cadia over the centuries, and the generals of the Imperium who stood against them>opens up more avenues for /your dudes/ in being the remnants of a prior crusade, or of regiments/chapters/whatever who've fought them in the past
>>98875531Thanks anon! Appreciate it!>>98875547Are Imperial guard modellers the ones with the highest percentage of 3D printing rates? I know that space marine modellers would have a larger number of 3D printers, but I don't think that collective would be as large a percent of the space marine following than the guard would have a higher percent of 3D printer users in their following.>>98875540I think many people who love the Warhammers hate Games Workshop in the way Nintendo game fans hate Nintendo. Is that the correct analogy?
Gay hunters are basecoated.Found my recipe for crimson fists in the process. Hopefully I remember in the years to come.
>>98875591>he bought the $60 mini holder
>>98875593I paid like $8 Iirc. I like being able to spin the model when gripping it.
>>98875593NTA but I've done worse so I can't judge people for buying the GW handle. The older one looks better though. I bought the gameenvy hobby holder without the "bar handle" part. It wasn't for me, but the idea of bottlecap based painting handles is pretty novel to me. There's already Chinese copies on aliexpress now, some on Amazon. But I don't know if the modular part will work as pieces may break sooner. Hopefully there will be a good copy of the original Citadel painting handle for those who missed out on them.
>>98875600I own both and I honestly prefer the slim design of the new one.
uhhhh, so you aren't supposed to just hold your model with your fingers?
>>98875604You can hold the model with your fingers. There are just handles meant to make the process better around the concept of ergonomics.You can use sticky tack and a cork from a wine bottle as an easy DIY handle if you want. For many that's enough.
>>98875600You mean these? One of my LGSs is selling 3d printed versions but the clamp is achieved with shitty rubber bands. I'm glad I managed to get a few of these before they discontinued them in favor of the new skinny ones. I really don't like the grip profile on the new ones.
>>98875586Sounds too fun and interesting for James Workshop or any of the hacks at BL to not fuck up. I remember that one interview where ADB was seething over sons of Horus warbands that don't want to follow Abaddon or join the Black Legion which is why there isn't much lore on the Wolves of Horus or True sons.
>>98875620>You mean these?Yeah I mean those. I had a phase of trying out different handles then ended up settling on a DIY one. Was pretty dumb looking back that all the money spent when the materials were always here. I did buy some grip tape for the handles later. But it was fine before those.>One of my LGSs is selling 3d printed versions but the clamp is achieved with shitty rubber bands. Pretty smart of them too if I'm being honest.
>>98875593I made my own with a spring and a old plastic card
>>98875604I mean you can grip it from the base or even the model itself while painting if you know what you're doing, the handles and stuff mostly exist for ergonomics. I used to just stick some blue tac on a wine cork and put minis on that while I painted before I just stopped giving a fuck and held them by the base.
What's the difference between a combat patrol, battleforce and these upcoming Christmas boxes?
>>98875620My friend has a pretty neat 3dprinted one that's just requires you to twist to tighten it.
>>98875654Size, price
>>98875537I'm so glad this bitch crippled herself with a botched acupuncture treatment. I like to believe it's because of the negative animus (you) fostered towards her in these threads with your faggy ritualposts.
>>98875313Honestly the more I think about it the more appealing the BA battleforce looks(depending on pricing)
>>98875686>crippledAre you talking about her getting a congested nose from lying on her belly.Anyway, how's everyone's weekends going hobby wise?It's been storming with a couple of power outages so I've just been playing games.
>>98875721You're joking, of course.
What do Adeptus Mechanicus play like? What's a good detachment to focus on Kataphrons?
>>98875622>interview where ADB was seething over sons of Horus warbands that don't want to follow Abaddon or join the Black Legion which is why there isn't much lore on the Wolves of Horus or True sons.Anyone have know how to find this interview?
What's a Daemon World actually like? How do people live there? Does the Imperium actually visit those hell holes?
>>98875730I'm new so I don't have dante yet, which makes it more viable, and I love kitbashing anyway so the weird chaplain doesn't bother me. Shitty moves by GW? Yes, but not necessarily bad for me.
I did finish a unit of Bladeguard for the energy collage.
Is there a new 40k telegram chat for model STLs? Saw the big one got nuked april time? Cheers
>>98875796Yeah
>>98875620The new one is so bad. It's really really fucking funny (and sad) that GW actually produced a hobby product that was both good and reasonably priced and then replaced it with something much shittier and overpriced for no reason.
>>98875313> TQNecrons and Tyranids are both empire-ending threats that can realistically defeat the Imperium. They are both happening at the same time.Way back in 30k we had the Rangdan Xenocides which were similarly catastrophic. I like the idea that the Imperium has regularly been dealing with apocalyptic threats and while Nids/Crons are nasty, they're ultimately no worse than any of the other massive xenos forces that the imperium has to deal with every few centuries. There should be a long history of defeated xenos mega-threats and the imperium is still standing.
Red Corsairs Raiders, but each is traitor of a loyalist chapter.2 are /tg/ exclusive Chapters, maybe someone remembers them.
>>98875841
>>98875841Is that a Blood Jaguar on the right middle there?
>>98875845You are absolutely correct
>no legion of the damned releaseThey're not coming out are they?
>>98875846Boss. I've always loved that homebrew chapter, it's such a refreshing take on BAngels. I keep toying with making an actual army of them at some point, but I'm a CSM fan at heart and I kinda find the idea of having two armies of dudes in power armor a little silly.
>>98875317Very niceAlways enjoy seeing your wolves
>>98875518Post minis
>>98875855>he's still butthurtWhy don't you just go somewhere else?Where people don't immediately know who you are just by your posts alone, let alone your poorly painted miniatures? You have the entire world at your disposal, and yet you're dug in like an Alabama tick in the armpit of the internet.
>>98875561>based>diverse marinesPick one
>>98875615>wine corkYou don't paint minis do you?
are all space wolves playesr as obnoxious as a samefagging looser here?
>>98875739Eradication cohort, Tech-priest Minipulus with Martial Signatum Amplificator, and 6 Kataphron. I think that's the only detachement that can buff them.
>>98875852I agree, I love that chapter. The entire idea of my project was to have a tribute to my favourite chapters that I know I won't collect because I'm a CSM player, especially the Blood Jaguars, the Howling Griffons and the mysterious chapter of the champion that no one guessed so far.
>>98875857Didn't think soOpinion disregarded
>>98875865I think I'm pretty cool.
>>98875865Yes, but not at this level
>>98875865All Marine fags in general however the most obnoxious ones are the non-codex compliant chapters
>>98875884that's grim. good thing no one in my LFGS is playing wolves.
You know we can see you samefagging, right?My extension shows you're posting from the same IP.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98875869BJags are the only homebrew chapter that ever stuck out to me even if I was writefagging in the Scraplootas threads more at the time
All I have left is the weirdboy in my armageddon box (ork side). I've saved him for last because I'm terrified on how to do the damn lightning effects, I've never tried OSL before.
>>98875974so commorragh is cyberpunk down there?
I know Militarum Tempestus was never a proper army but how would you go about recreating this in 11E? Both Valkyries and Taurox Primes look to be on the shit list.Obviously start with spamming Scions, Aquilons and Command Squads, which should be good for 1000pts. I don't trust either of the traditional MT transports to stick around after 11E, but maybe Centaurs and Chimeras are a decent alternative? Any other units that fit the theme?
>>98875391What happened to the gun? Looks like it's lost details. Miscast or too much paint?
>>98875861What are you on about newgen?
>>98875996>Teeming masses born into debt to a ripper doc for the privilege of even staying alive and cheap drugs and body augments and having to work in the weapons factories and entertainment sector or else forming into gangs to struggle for control of the lower city and keep enough pain flowing while taking jobs for the wealthy in their high towers to raid each other as deniable assets or else become inducted into the cutthroat high society of corporate killers and private militariesSounds pretty cyberpunk to me
>>98876048
>>98875861what
>painted Night Lords with the base legionaries models with a bronze trim>painted Night Lords with the kill team with a silver trimHow do I stop myself from going back and redoing the legionaries? Also the fact they have the eye of Horus on them kind of grates on me. I know they are scavengers and stuff but still.
>>98876061>How do I stop myself from going back and redoing the legionaries?Just tell yourself the Kill Team are elite lads so they get nicer trim. Silver > bronze, after all.>the fact they have the eye of Horus on them kind of grates on me.You can always use a hobby knife to etch some defacements into it as if they've stolen the armor and mocked the previous owner at the same time.

>>98876083>nurgle scented candle
>>98876070I was thinking about splitting them up as two companies/warbands merging into one in my lore and I like the elite spin on it, like the raptors in the omnibus. They are a kill team after all.>hobby knifeThat sounds like the way to go, I did use it so carve some of the mutations off a head or two. Also the Black Legion had it coming for being bitches on Crythe.
>>98876093got it as a present
>>98876071IDEK if the guy who made the OG art does more Thunder Warrior stuff but I wish we had Old Earth stuff instead of HH
>>98876108What like as a story or a wargame? Who would they even fight against? Can you name four major factions from Old Earth?
>>98876113War game with minimal lore (sounds retarded I know; I am retarded) because I don't want everything explained like what HH did.Game would work better as a skirmish than 40k size game

>>98876187>getting nothing for the next 10 years lol. they’re the new starter faction, and their shitty special edition codex sold near instantly while the marine one is still “SELLING FAST”. They’ll be getting milked for years to come.
>>98876199you've been warned
>>98876197>one of the biggest defenders of female custodes got outed as a pedophile>there are 1487 copies of the special edition, assuming there is a copy 0000 (first one for promotional purposes) that makes 1488 copies
>>98876199If you think Space Marines are ever not going to be in the starter box then I have a bridge to sell you.
>>98876266NTA, but. Is it really that unbelievable?They are;Easy to paintEasy to playEasy to build (list building)I think custodes are the anti-christ of hobby since they require next to no effort and only shitters collect them.

>>98876290
>>98876290i disagree
so I been trying to buy thin metal sheet to use for my magnetized boxturn out its much harder to find than I thoughliterally cant find one in random DIY storeend up having to order onlinemost thin sheets are all aluminum or stainless neither stick to magnetand actual steel sheets are all usually thick 1mm+ sheetI guess they didnt think of stocking these to sell to some nerds who glue rare earth magnets under plastic space marines
>>98876302i remember adb being lauded because he used to post here
>>98876317>under plastic space marinesIf you're a cuck, sure
>>98875999I think some other anons and me got into talking about how Scions jumping out of a Taurox Prime with the Mechanized Assault detachment (the one that gives +1 to wound to ranged attacks the turn you jump out of a transport) as actually having some legs.You can stick a couple of Scions Squads in a T Prime so when they jump out you're re-rolling hits, + 1 to wound, re-rolling wounds of 1 (full re-rolls on obj). There's also a strat that give full hit and wound re-rolls when an infantry unit jumps out of a transport. A strat that lets you jump back in if you get charged, Strat for moving as disembarking, enhancement to be able to advance a transport and still disembark. Its pretty good. The funniest thing I found was taking a Stormlord, sticking a Scion brick (10+5 command squad+character)+ another brick of your choice (infantry or even heavy weapons squads) plus an enginseer somewhere, and using that as an anvil or hammer. What does a Stormlord do for the army? It lets one of your bricks embark back into it during the end of your ops movement phase. Not fight phase engaged. End of movement. Send out one of your bricks, pop full reroll Strat, point at something, kill it, hop back in transport before the squishy infantry is killed, and do it all again next turn while your opponent struggles to kill T13, 2+ (with a 4++ if you have an engineseer which you damn well should) 24W giga tank. Add some support to that brick with a tank officer and a Leman Executioner for +1 ap and just mulch things.
>>98876219Which defender are you talking about Anon?
Finished the Tempest, just needs a base now.
>>98876321Yeah when? 20 years ago? People change and unfortunately he changed for the worst, thirsting over nappy headed hoes and advocating for flooding his country with somalians.
all of you seem to forget one thing about custodes: they are the perfect poorfag army. infantry boxes provide 480 points of uits and combat patrol is a ready madde 1000 point army . as for them being op, they have 48% win rate, they're not that op. still fuck the female custodes retcon.

One of the things that keeps annoying me about GW's storefront is how shitty the search function is, specifically that it removes search results for items that are out of stock.You're forced to dredge through many other unrelated items to find what you're looking for, such a pointless change.
Is there a way one can paint "speed" on a model in the same way OSL is painting "light" on it?
I need odd quantities of bases, where do you guys get yours? I need an 80mm and four 90MM bases
>>98876440wut?
>>98876440That's the whole promise of slapchop technique though I've yet to see a good one on the table myself.>>98876441Aliexpress
>>98876142>Marine on CustodesRepeat for the next six months.
>>98876440Probably not, not nearly as well at least. The perception of illumination is in the hue and brightness of things, which you can paint on. The perception of motion (albeit frozen in a photo, miniature, painting, paused video frame, or whatever) is partially in the shape and posing of things which is on the sculpt rather than the paintjob, and partial in motion blur which probably won't work very well to paint on when the actual shape of the mini itself remains stubbornly un-blurred.
>>98875313>TQAn age of schism. Invent a way for multiple factions to schism and start fighting amongst themselves, giving a whole host of opportunities for narrative development, alliances and inter-faction model ranges.
>>9887644180mm can be bought straight from GW https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/Citadel-80-Round-Basebut 4 90mm is kinda tricky, so just look on amazon or something and pick your poison.
>>988764413D printer with a textured plate.
>>98875463The company literally found their proper niche in the early 90s when the boomers really started making the big bucks and the British economy was booming post Thatcher and cheap debt. The company has accepted that as the norm and is operating on that principal. I won't deny that brick and mortar stores are a loss leading asset, but they're also a hold over from an economy that no longer exists and GW is desperately trying to pretend they're still in.
>>98876441I use Cobalt Keep bases for my shit, they're kinda pricy but the plastic quality is good (Their bases have this nice thickness that GW ones don't) and they come magnetized.
>>98876462>brick and mortar stores are a loss leading asset, but they're also a hold over from an economy that no longer existsI’d argue for Warhammer specifically its different because most people want to be able to play games and brick and mortar stores are the best place for it which the shit economy also contributes to because most people are renting small living spaces lol and while the people are there playing games they’re more likely to buy more minis or hobby stuff.
>>98876377what other metallics have you tried?
>>98876475Aren't modern GW store small as shit, with no real table space to play?
>>98876440resin dust/smoke plumes can suggest movement. flowing cloaks. exaggerated poses. not something you can really paint from nothing, though.
>>98876479I’ve tried pic related a few times, but the coverage has been generally horrible. the vallejo ones blow it out of the water.
>>98875463I think a lot of the price is from the products actually being made in england and not being made wherever would be cheapest.
>>98876480Yeah, the vast majority of GW stores are tiny, out of the way, one man operations intended simply to keep the brand awareness up and provide access to kids in places where independent stores aren't thriving. best case for GW is the store does well, an independent store pops up, and GW can close their own.
>>98876483I imagine any hobby brand metallic produced in the last 20 years would be similarly impressive.
>>98876440That's definitely a challenge.You could try establishing gradients that all work towards the direction of movement, like painting one facing brighter and warmer, while the back darker and colder; additional things could be making only the frontal part with well detailed and neat highlights while the back's highlights are messy to give the impression it's "blurry" somehow.And also I guess you could do highlights in a more stylised way, like only painting lines that go in the direction of movement, instead of transverse ones.
>>98876485Manufacturing is a small part of their overall product cost. Shipping and warehousing costs more. If they outsourced the printing of physical plastic to China they'd still have to do design and tooling in the UK, and move all the product back to the Europe which is the biggest market just ahead of North America. The savings would be tiny and require years of costly restructuring to have any positive impact.Their net margins are enormous regardless. English labour isn't keeping the price tag high, they sell profitably to independent stores at 60% off RRP.
>>98876494would it work? doubt it, but you could try
>>98876500Yeah, fair enough
>>98876440I don’t think its possible to paint, but as much as I generally hate tactical rocks, having the model half way over one would sell the speed because the mind would fill in how they’re already on the rock, and how they’re going to fall off. pic related is an exaggerated example, but it gives a good idea of what it should look like.
>>98876479GW, AK, AP, some $$$ wax based ones, and golden Vallejo air is by far the best
>>98876485>>98876500I'm sure that a lot of GW products and the models themself are being made in china or asia.Why I say that? mostly because recast I've bought randomly send me GW plastic along to the resin copies. They usually have some form of miscast, but not always. I suppose GW is getting over the Made in the UK issue with some of the assembly of the product being done in the UK
>>98876518Anon, I appreciate your input but this is too garbled a message to understand
>>98876518The only things that are made in china are printed cardstock. Plastic and paints are all UK. They're a public company they can't lie about where their factories are without some opportunistic shareholders/lawyers suing them.
>>98876509I prefer scale 75 overall, vallejo has always had shitty golds but excellent silvers. GW and AP are glitter. Not tried AK.
>>98876487>>98876480At least if you visit and belong to a [insert desired alternative to sweaty white gamers] you'll get a free model.
>>98876537Meds
>>98876528Isn't GW basically like half of the UK economy at this point? Even if they had factories in china no one would be retarded enough to try and kill GW
>>98876480I live right in New York City, the biggest city in the entire United States with the overall highest population density in the country. Roughly 8.5 million people live across the 5 boroughs, with another 10+ million commuting from Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and so on.The only official Games Workshop store within a 25 mile radius of the city is located in downtown Manhattan in Greenwich Village, is maybe about 500 square feet in size, has a single table in the back to play games on, and barely has room to stock anything (They typically only usually have new releases and things that are typically faction staples like batleline and combat patrols). Again, biggest city in the country mind you. Meanwhile when I went to Amsterdam last year I popped by a GW store there and it was like three times the size and was fully stocked.
>>988765450.5% of the uk economy iirc
is it bad if I think the generic horn head is way cooler than WB specific head?
>>98876556is it just me, or does he look like a little baby with yogurt all over his face?
>>98876556Based new WB poster having the hobby time of his life
>>98876542You've never taken family to a local GW shop when traveling? If there's a woman in your group she'll get a free model. It's so regular I consider it a feature of the shops.
>>98876548There’s a store in Plainview Long Island but it’s the same deal where there’s one table that you’re not really allowed to even play on and the store exists just for little timmies to drag their moms in and blow money while they’re shopping in the strip mall
Are the Storm Shields included in the Vanguard Veterans kit the same size as the ones Terminators use?
>>98876548Some times I wonder if gringos have some underground campaign against wargame places. Even my third world country with similar or higher rent/taxes for a store, have bigger spaces with multiple tables going from 4 to 20 tables.Fucking cafes have tables where people play Battlefleet gothic, meanwhile single bed room size stores that do not have space for a table inside manage to break up deals with the mall/center/building to have a space for the tables somewhere.And we are not particularly rich, our riches 10% earns less than the minimum wage of the gringos and we have first world prices for everything
>>98876564that's your mirrorand it's probably not yogurt
>>98876548>I live in the most densely packed city in the US>where every square foot of space comes at a significant premium>why is the plastic crack store not biggerGee, I wonder
>>98876575There's plenty of Gaming Cafes in the city, including one a few blocks away from the GW. The problem is that they mostly cater to the casual boardgame crowd that wants to play Wingspan and Catan, the TCG crowd (Mostly MTG) and very slightly the D&D crowd. The tables for these cafes tend to be too small for Wargames, though they're fine for skirmish games (I've seen people playing Killteam here before). Not to mention that because of the above tables are scarce, and they put a 3 hour limit on your table on the weekends. You're right though that a lack of a dedicated Wargaming spot is kind of absurd when there's all sorts of shit popping up in the city each week.
>>98876545No, and why would people give a shit about damaging the UK economy if it meant a quick buck? The current US Secretary of the Treasury was celebrated for doing exactly that in 1992.
>>98876583I'm just saying, it's sandwiched between two restaurants that have like 3x the floorplan, not to mention literally every other /tg/ spot in the city like the boardgame cafes, the card shops, and so on are at the very least twice as big as the GW.
Meanwhile here's the interior of the GW I stopped at in Amsterdam. Plenty of table space for games and hobbying, window space to show off models and dioramas, and an actually fully stocked store.
>>98875313Space Wolves being able to endure a Chaos Legion level assault as a solo chapter is honestly kind of stupid.
>>98876611Space Wolves aren't really a solo chapter any more than Black Templar are.
>>98875591I don't think I've ever seen space wolves with a shade of grey I'd quite like.
>>98876612They're still limited to roughly 1500 marines though no?
>>98876626No, they're like double the size of a regular chapter.
Space Wolves would be so much better if they toned down the animism and focused on a more Norse angle. You can have them be the rascally rebels to a point, but now they're in full-blown heretic mode and have been for years. Fenris ought to be blown out of the sky.
>>98876636so 2000 marines. point still stands
>>98876648even standard chapters are more than that number, let alone famously codex non-compliant space wolves with their "great companies". 10x10x10 battle brothers is not a meaningful count of marines strength, it doesn't include most of the actual army.
>>98876640>Space Wolves would be so much better if they toned down the animism and focused on a more Norse angleThey tried that in HH and they're still cringe. I think they're just unsalvageable at this point, if they ever were salvageable. Really I think the crux of the issue is the Viking Space Marines should've always been Chaos to start with. You have a chapter inspired by seafaring raiders that neither travel nor raid, they just squat on their snow world and jack off to wolves. It's a similar problem I have with White Scars. They should be a nomadic, fleet-based chapter that roams the imperium and assaults enemy worlds rather than just squatting on Space Mongolia being irrelevant. Or at least do something cool with them being semi-nomadic and spread between multiple worlds or something.

>>98876648Yeah, but Thousand Sons are the smallest CSM Legion out there. Also Fenris has a PDF. Then assaulting a fortress (and Fang is a fortress) isn't so easy as an open battle.
>>98876640>>98876671Ok hear me out>Space Wolves are a traitor legion, swap their place with World Eaters>Space Wolves get Khorne Berserkers now, still remain an unga bunga mostly melee army>They already have wolf riders, that's basically one step removed from Juggernaut riders>All their Wolf Skull shit still fits in visually with the "Skull for the Skull Throne" shit>Heresy era paintscheme is already a Dark Gray with a dash of red, just increase the amount of Red in the color scheme and call it a day for their post-Chaos schemeAs for the World Eaters you could do a few things with them>Lean into the Gladiator thing heavily with the army, give them shield and swords, lances, and so on>Keep the Heresy-era scheme with the White/Blue (It's okay to have two White colored armies if there's already two black First Founding armies with RG/IH)>Angron maybe chills out or is killed during the Heresy>Keep them the War Hounds if you want to IDKI dunno I'm just spitballing ideas here.
>>98876724space wolfs should be chaos faction because logan grimnar is using a daemon axe that holds khorne daemon
>>98876671You can point to all the loyalist chaoters and traitor legions and how they're not behaving exactly like their inspirations and how they should be on the other side. End of the day, you can always ignore what GW tells you and make /yourduded/ the way you want them to be.

>>98876763?
>>98876743cool regular mek conversion.
>>98876671Problem with WS is there really isn't good 40k lore for em. The few times I've seen a WS character set in 40k they're usually pretty cool guys who doesn't afraid of anything, but no where near as cool as the 30k lore Chris Straight set up.
>>98876743I really don't like the shine a lot of these have, it might be how they've been photographed though.
>>98876611Its definitely a stretch but the way I interpret it is that that have very good and sizable human auxiliaries, in lore they have very large fleet with a lot of original crusade ships, and in general they have a lot of equipment from the crusade era which they would pull out if getting attacked. Apparently their fortress is also one of the "best" of all the old legions.
How's everyone feel about the Christmas model this year? Doesn't really do much for me.
>>98876743did calgar always have earrings?and why the fuck are the top two vehicles those hideous squat things
>>98876813No, it's how they're painted. It's the style that's in vogue right now.
>>98876592I am VERY surprised that GW hasn't been bought by a larger american conglomerate and production moved overseasbigger and more important industries seem to have 0 government protection over here so wonder why someone hasnt ponied up the money for a quick turnaround
>>98876824>$100K to make an injection mold>still makes random bullshit once and never again>will sit on shelves for years to comethey should just make it a random model as a cool tribute. I’d even take a primaris lieutenant over that little green fucker.
>>98876711the EC codex notes that actual EC's were vanishingly small even in the pre heresy era, so it might actually be themdont know if split off warbands count tho, i think slaanesh might be a bit easier to get into as you dont need to be a sick spellcaster
>>98876850The cost depends on the sprue size, doesn't it?
>>98876855And GW owns their own tooling.
>>98876850Bro, a small injection mould for this type of model probably doesn't even break 10k.
>>98876868I mean, just because you own the tooling doesn't make them free to make.The actual cutting tools need regular replacement, and the cost of those will quickly add up to be more than the CNC machine used (depending on utilization and how aggressive the program is).The salaries of the machinists, programmers, and maintenance staff also go into the cost of making the molds.
I just want to extend a message of support to our Imperial Guard brothers and sisters. I know you are going through a tough time at the moment but we here at /40kg/ are here for you now and forever. God bless.
>>98876724If we're trying to save the World Eaters I'd say you kinda have to give up on the Gladiator aspect entirely since from what I know of HH Angryman fucking hated that shit. Or at least massively rework it.>maybe focus on his whole spartacus brotherhood slave revolt thing>still keep the shield phalanx/gladiator gear stuff though, that's a good angle>have Angron able to master the Nails. He's still angry, but he learns how to control his anger and only unleash it during battle or something>the WEs develop this into a unique fighting style, with or without Nails if you think loyalists plugging Tardrage Cables into their head is too dumbThis could give them a fun rivalry with the new Heretic Wolves since the new WEs are all about mastering their rage and working as brothers while the nuWolves threw themselves headfirst into their fury to become wild animals. Restrained and calculated brutality vs unrestrained feral savagery. Or something, I'm spitballing off the cuff as well and would need to refine this out into something less meandering.>>98876739There's a difference between not behaving exactly like their inspirations and only taking the most surface level aesthetic influences from them. It's why I have less of a problem with White Scars, at least they behave like mongols when they do actually fight.>/yourdudes/Sure, but we're talking about /gwdudes/. I've never been a fan of using canon chapters to begin with but it's a fun little thought experiment.
>>98876883Now take all that cost, and slap on what a 3rd party has to charge to cover not only their own costs, but taxes, profits, etc. Meanwhile, you own the machinery and the workers, who are already working for you making moulds for other kits. So one more into the mix isn't exactly the same as ordering it from another company.

>>98875313>TQI would light some sort of fire under the asses of the Tau and Eldar. Something that forces their hands into actually being part of the setting and not just the defacto jobber NPCs so that their fans can rid themselves of their victim complexes and, hopefully, contrarion mindsets
You retards are leaving easy money on the table
>>98876905>only taking the most surface level aesthetic influences from them.Welcome to 40k.>Sure, but we're talking about /gwdudes/. James is not coming to your home and feeding you to a woodchipper for making your Ultramarines the way you want Ultramarines to be. When I started my 30k legion, I specifically made them the way I wanted that legion to be, rather than listening to what FW and GW told me they were.
Same. When converting my Imperial Fists I sneak in quite a few Custodes bits here and there to show the incredibly strong ties and trust that they had during the Horus Heresy.
>>98876939>I want Ultramarines who aren't Ultramarines but I refuse to just not paint UltramarinesWell this conversation is a nonstarter
Any EC player here tried carnival of excess ? I wanna roll some daemonette bitches, slaangors look cool and I'd probably play them as Fiends
>>98876963>I wish Ultramarines were the way I wanted Ultramarines to be>but I cannot make them the way I want them to be, because of reasonsAt least one of us is happy with our space marines.
>>98876962>incredibly strong ties and trust that they had during the Horus Heresy.Made me smirk, well done.
>look at local 40k chat>people are honestly asking if they can use models from 8th in 11thLive service model has turbo fucked the zoomers it seems.
>>98876964Adding a deep strike threat to EC makes them even more annoying to deal with. I hate having to fully screen my backfield just because a unit of Fiends will drop in and start shredding if I don't.The detachment got a lot better when they adding Priority ASSets to the dispositions recently. As only Disruption it was tough.
>>98876743most of these look airbrushed to hell, or straight up AI. funny how art that used to seem impressive now look cheap because of changing technology.
>>98876767smutek
>>98876984lol we had so much crying on here that GW were making people buy new marines all the time back when tacticals and the rhino variants went to heaven.
>>98876976>but I cannot make them the way I want them to be, because of reasonsAs I said earlier, if I wanted Ultramarines-but-not-Ultramarines, I'd just homebrew up a successor chapter and do whatever I want with them. This was just a fun thought experiment on how to "fix" some of the canon chapters because why not. You're trying to make an argument where there is none.
>>98877079Noice. I already have 600pts to paint with just daemonettes as demons so I was thinking about what else could fit in for a 1k army

why am i the worst of the worst for playing custodes?
>>98877256You’re no worse than knights players, don’t worry about what people say. If you mean the jokes about being a chomo, there was a wokehammer twitter personality that was a big femstodes proponent and turned out to be a convicted offender recently.
I'm looking at some 3D print options, and a lot of humans, IE Imperial Guard, are printed at 32mm instead of 28mm. A lot of the STLs I see available are default at 32mm.Why the 32mm default? Did the scaling of Imperial Guard change at all, or are GW's Heroic scale humans really 32mm? I'm wondering if the "32mm" 3D prints will kitbash with official Imperial Guard or if the scaling is going to be slightly off unless I explicitly buy the 28mm print option.
>>98877256Because your guys went and abandoned the emperor, all alone on that golden throne with no one to keep his corpse company. Didn’t even leave a get well soon card either.
>>98877256faction reduces the entire tactical front to who suceeds more 50/50s. Low in models but enough rules that makes it seem like they "have everything". Certain players don't like that despite how hypocritical it might also be on their part in offensive combosoups getting reduced to that 4++.Knights at least have dogshit defenses once you're wounding on 4+ or better and are just hp sponges (which is way they collectively cum when there is a detach that after doing 5 gimmicks in correct order gives you 5++)
>>98877230Yep in some Imperial Armour.
>>98877275if it's any concolation to you, i've lost all my games to a more expirienced player
>>98877265good to know.
>>98877281i play custodes myself, but i've played with good enough friends to be able to draw these conclussions and still remain friends with them even if they aren't exactly keen on playing vs them anymore (where i still either lost or we tied)
>>98876327Hell yeah. I’m forcing myself to lay down some more basecoating on the three land speeders I’ve working on and procrastinating about since I finished their flight leader.
>>98877266for some reason the vernacular for current GW scale is 32mm while 28mm is the "old" scale.
>>98877293These colour blends fucking suck.
>>98877291what is your friend running? because mine is running IW
>>98877293I like the dead tyrnaid on the base, it's a nice touch

>>98877293why is terminator manning the turret?
>>98877314Brother Tinnitus can finally stop having his eardrums replaced by the chapter apothecary after every battle.
>>98877297Is it? I'm reading into it and they really did increase the scaling from 28mm, and that new Kasrkin are the size of old Space Marines in armor, and that GW has had scale creep the last decade.I'm seeing complaints the old and new Imperial Guard look mismatched for size, but I'm noticing 99% of the prints to purchase advertise the larger 32mm.
>>98877333it's space marines that went from 28.5 to 32, but that somehow transferred to everyone else.
>>98877297>>98877333I'm still looking for slang that grogs/STL makers have mostly agreed on to differentiate the old Cadian proportions from the kneepad proportions. Both are technically still heroic scale because certain areas are exaggerated.I actually like both scales. I think I have a preference in favor for the old heroic scale. I will admit that the new scale's longer rifles is a good call as if there is ever a difference in rifles vs carbines when it comes to barrel length in the wargame, it will be easier to spot in the newer models.
>>98877333Most human models aren't really bigger. They just abandoned the old "Heroic" scale with the extra large hands and heads.Yes, they're getting taller than old Space Marines, but so were old Guard models. Primaris are taking the position as the "Truescale" marines.
>>98877359>>98877358>>98877354Thanks for the info, I guess I'm going "32mm" for these prints if I want it to better match newer releases. Didn't realize GW had been adjusting their scale. Just wanted to be sure before I dropped 40$+ on prints for parts and bits.The newer Guardsmen look more realistic overall for the proportion changes, I kind of like it.
>>98877379Guard should still be 28mm high at the eye. I'd do a couple test prints at both scales and see how they look compared to an official model or something before committing to the full range.
>>98877333>and that GW has had scale creep the last decade.They've been scale creeping for over three decades by now. Current crop of kroxigor are twice as tall as the 5th ed ones...
>>98876977Can I have these Custodes instead?
>>98877333Me on the right
>Next month marks the last monthly drop of Combat Patrol issues for meAt last I will be free from this ordeal
>>98877379>The newer Guardsmen look more realistic overall for the proportion changes, I kind of like it.Nothing wrong with that. Oddly enough the Anvil Industry proportions (closer to previous gen Cadians) still are compatible "somewhat" with the new proportions. See pic related.Anyways off the top of my head I know of some STL makers that provide STLs in the new proportions: >Proxybrewer>AdeptusMiniatures>ReptilianOverlords (master regiment template) >VictoriaMiniatures (just getting started so choice is limited from her)Now with that being said I do not think all those STL makers have their bits compatible "off the printer" even if they are meant to be perfectly compatible with the plastic Cadians currently sold. You might have to fire up Blender or your choice of 3D software to push the bits around.
>>98877387Unfortunately I can't operate a Resin printer here, that's why I'm looking at buying finished prints and wondering why the popular options converged on "32mm" in the listing names.

>>98876842>I am VERY surprised that GW hasn't been bought by a larger american conglomerate and production moved overseasIf I had to wager a guess, I think Games Workshop prides itself on being British and a lot of their economic choices are to prevent themselves from being fully bought out by an American company. It is just a guess.They don't want a situation like in Canada where somehow Tim Horton's is proud piece of heritage despite being own by a Brazilian/American (mostly Brazilian I think) company.Funnily enough I do wonder what the Warhammer IP(s) would be like if bought out by a Chinese or even a Russian company.

>>98876883Injection molding is garage level of tech now. It has been for almost two decades now.
How hard would it be to magnetize the tzaangor riders discs for the riders and the actual magic swirls
>>98876842>>98877981GW is a British Publicly Traded Company (PLC). There is no “pride”. It’s all corporate. Americans already own 30% of GW. For someone to own GW, they would have to buy the shares of everyone who currently owns it. It’s expensive and it’s a bitch to do unless you’re Amazon, Disney, Tencent, or Saudi Arabian
The time to acquire GW/40k would have been pre-primaris when the company was struggling. The shares are up like 8000% in 10 years.
>>98878014When did they started calling it hot shot?The first version of storm troopers and inquisitorial storm troopers both had hellguns.
>>98878010This. RIP GW lorelets.
>>98878017>Injection molding is garage level of tech now. It has been for almost two decades now.Have you seen gunpla, anon? Injection molding tech is amazing when done right. GW did not do that right. We aren't seeing miniature pieces that lock together with truly no plastic or super glue needed. And GW certainly isn't gonna make sprues where no clippers are required to nicely snap them off.
>>98878034>When did they started calling it hot shot?2nd edition. But then stormtroopers just had regular lasguns with hot-shot power packs. In 3e they got hellguns. In 5e they became hot-shot lasguns but hellgun stayed as well.
>>98876842American companies buy up British ones because they're comparatively cheap ways to buy access to markets, ip and patents. The problem with GW is their stock has been on a massive up swing until recently and nobody really knows how to actually value it's market cap. In short nobody knows if they're getting a good deal or not, which makes an aquisition risky.
>>98878025A small enough magnet would be able to fit on the foot that has the hexagon slot, you will just need to shave of the circled but on the tzaangor foot, and drill the make the slot a bit deeper.If your going to do this I would also recommend have a shallow pin for the other foot if you find their getting knocked off too easily.As for the little vortexes the discs sit on, there's enough room on the disc for a magnet, and you would just need to shave down the top of the vortex to glue the other magnet, or you could simple pin them with a longer pin if you're not planning on tipping them upside down like in a magnet case.

>>98876850It doesn't cost that much to make molds any more. It used to require seasoned experts with specialist skills to make miniature quality molds, remaking them over and over again until they got something that could reliably produce durable defect free sprues.These days it can all be stimulated and manufactured on regular cnc machines, the only true specialist you need is a guy at the end to polish the molds.

>>98878117I'm probably out of date then. What am I missing here if you aren't going to mention 3D printing? Gunpla is just the most obvious example of injection mold tech being done properly and used to it's fullest potential. If there still is room for improvement.
>>988781273D print kind of killed the DIY injection thing. Unless you really need to make a model in bulk, 3D printing is enough.And if you do need to do it and not concern about copy rights just ask the chinese to it for less than a month salary.

>>98878034When they released the Inquisitorial codexes in 3rd and now you had Inferno pistols (fancy melta) and hell pistols (lasers with a backpack). It was too many plutonic refences and It could be a problem.
>>98878153I feel like 3D Printing killed the hype for it, but they got this stuff called Blue Stuff now, it’s a thermoplastic for making temporary molds. You just toss it in some hot water to soften it up and then mold it on a model bit. Then when it cools you take it off, and you can pack green stuff or milliput into it to make a copy. I haven’t used it for any actual models, but my brother has used it to make dead bodies as basing material, and it looks pretty good.
Postan my collage entry for the month, some pretty grim Chaos Spawn.
>>98878014What's truly wtong with scions? I like 'em
>>98878187Were those models meant to be the original Inquisitorial Stormtroopers?
>>98878186I am also posting every model I have finished painting between October 2025 and October 2026, for no reason in particular. I really went all in on the Iyanden stuff over the last year, all I really have left to paint in terms of Eldar stuff is Eldrad Ulthran, a kitbashed Wraithseer, and a Revenant Titan
>>98878183I still use my blue stuff.Pretty cool thing, specially if you lack a 3D printer and cant be ass to hunt down stl and someone to print them.But DIY injection molding really die with 3D printers. As anon said. If you really needed a bunch of plastic shit, the thing is so cheap now that you can ask some asian company to do it for you. For everything else you can just 3D print or use a home made mold.
Should I repaint my Eldar from Iybrasil to Saim Hann or Ulthwe? 3rd option is also stop being indecisive and stick to the one I already have painted. How do you guys get over this hurdle of constantly wanting to repaint your army?
>>98878192Just regular IGs on a hive world outside the hive.
>>98878187Stormtroopers are just dead 'ard cuntsScions are space marines but without power armour and implanted organs, they have too many advantages to be interestingMore importantly, they're from a centralised school and all wear the same armour and use the same vehicles and have the same culture, where your stormtroopers and my stormtroopers could be completely different in every aspect other than being elite specopsThe models are utterly hideous too, and the taurox is a crime
Working on too many models at once
>>98878214I just pick colors I like from the start, lore be damned. I’ve changed my mind multiple times after test paints before, though. Also it’s not that big of a deal to just strip your models and start over, get some Tupperware and a few bottles of 91% iso, and dunk em.
How might I go about altering or covering up the wax of a purity seal for a model conversion on a loyalist model? Completely removing the purity seal isn't an option since it's too engrained with other details. I've though about using a skull but it's too big.
Can a daemon prince have the favor of two gods or that's not a thing anymore
>>98878214>How do you guys get over this hurdle of constantly wanting to repaint your army?Just buy a new army to paint lol
>>98878224At least during 3rd the terms Grenadiers, Storm Troopers and Scion where kind of interchangeable. Specially the last two since Scion was not a concept seen in the codex, it just mention that Storm Troopers came from the Schola.The difference between Grenadiers and Storm Troopers was mostly that ST came from the Schola and the G from the super elite guys of the Guard. Rules wise Grenadiers are Storm Troopers that can be a Troop Choice instead of an Elite one.
>>98878224>lore lore loreStopped reading two lines in and don't care. Scions look cool (though personally I like a headswap on em, put eisenkern helmets on mine for a more helghast look) and I like elite infantry, but they're still underdog enough to not be marines/SoB.>where your stormtroopers and my stormtroopers could be completely different in every aspectYeah except that there's not many suitable minis out there so before scions people would just paint kasrkin different colours. So there goes "completely different"... I actually like there being a cohesive stormtroopen force, and I like the fluff about their armour cameras and shit, grimdark
>>98878234Im doing that already because If I was picking my favorite lore craftworld it would be biel tan but Im not a huge fan of green/white.>>98878241If im buying a new army Im getting my gaurd army at this point. Thinking of paint them like gears.
Is necromunda really that big to be constantly getting as many releases as 40k? Thinking about checking it out unironically
>>98878260Popular enough that lots of Necroumunda fans got angsty when GW cancelled the Necromunda roleplaying game
>>98878260Their stuff seem to sell, some people with more money and time than reason will buy multiple kits just to have every single option modeled.Usually people just do the old classic>special weapon guy is the plasmagun>guy with sword is the chainsword guy>dude with heavy weapon is the autocannon guySince in theory the model is suppose to be goal of a character you want to make or make a model as result of campaign events. Having every single option kind of misses the point of building a character driven gang.
>>98877718>t. Paints like shit
>>98878247>Yeah except that there's not many suitable minis out there so before scionsAnon they had models.
>>98878298Even show them in the 3rd Imperial Guard codex.All the colourful models vanish with the 3.5 codex since GW needed to sell the new Cadian plastic and metal models
>>98878298>3rd editionUnc…
>>98878304They also show up in the Witch Hunter codex.I love the schizo list building of this codex.Imperial Guard 3.5 and Witch Hunters still one of my favorites codex. Specially since I can play Sisters, Guard and Genestealer cult with them without needed a big conversion from my part
>>98878308Kasrkin are 3rd edition too.
>>98878298>>98878304>unc thinks people are still sourcing these to use for stormtroopersAnyway sure. That's one of very few options to model stormtroopers. My point is that I think you're in love with the fantasy of stormtroopers all being radically different depending on regiment. But the reality was that people just used the same few models for stormtroopers and there really wasn't that much variety. Scions are cool and their existence doesn't retcon regiment and inquisitorial stormtroopers, those still exist.
>>98878308I know zoomers are the most retarded generation in history, but at least read the thread. >Yeah except that there's not many suitable minis out there so before scionsThis is objectively false because this old ass model existed. Way before the Scion plastics or the metal Kasrkin
>>98878318>Scions/stormtroopers are not part of Imperial Agents listFookin stupid!
>>98878325>there's not many suitable minis out there>not many>duhh ackshually that's false cause there's two!Do you think two counts as "many"?
>>98877621IIRC they're big into genetic engineering and manufacturing chems and drugs. They're probably a little bit more than baseline humans to start with and then juiced up with all kinds of steroids and stuff.

Are rulebook pdfs way harder to come by now? I skipped 10th but from 7th to 9th it was always super easy to find a codex or supplement in this thread or in the share thread. Now the 10th collection is spotty and I don't see any 11th books. Was there a big change while I was away?

>>98878349>>98878247>Yeah except that there's not many suitable minis out there so before scions people would just paint kasrkin different colours.Storm Trooper model existed way before Scions where even a thing. During 2005 ish IG got the Kasrkin models. That anon claims everyone used which is understandable since the old Storm Trooper kits got harder and harder to get.
>>98878346>complete model lineAnon... That's not what I'm getting at. Holy shit read the actual posts. Dude said that there's wide variety with stormtroopers, I countered that there were realistically few options for carapace armoured hellgun dudes, and so for all the in-lore variety on the tabletop there really isn't. Officially there's the two - kasrkin and inq stormtroopen, we're talking about the entire unit here not the individual fucking models.>>98878348Congrats on kindergartener maths.

Feet for the Feet God!
>>98878368Yes anon back in the day people where expected to do hobby stuff and come up with their own conversions. Hell the rules encourage you to go wild with the Veteran, Grenadier and Storm Troopers and make you own.
I'm not seeing too many posts for the collage wips/submissions, collage anon if you're here how many submissions have you gotten so far?
>>98878236I usually use a spare terminator honour medallion and say the model is a veteran.
>>98878367I don't know what argument you're having here but you're on the southbound train when we're trying to head north, buddy. I know the old minis existed, I was around. That's not the point, at all.Anyway I like the look of scions, it's good having another carapace armoured kit, and their introduction didn't kill the average stormtrooper. You can still collect and field regimental stormies if you like, but hating on scions is such a terminally online take. If you headed into an actual game store and asked around I don't think many people have that strong an opinion on 'em so saying "everyone hates" them is pretty false.
>>98878347They all leaked on reddit a few weeks before release, but I guess no one is maintaining libraries.
>>98878402>more condescending talk assuming I'm not old enough to have experienced that era>more larpYes anon, I get that people were encouraged to make their own stormtroopers. Did they though? Did you particularly see any cool stormtrooper conversions, or are you still in love with this fantasy of stormtroopen variety?

Don't get into an argument and then get pissy because you get proven wrong.>inb4 more bitching unrelated to the topic>>98878427>Did you particularly see any cool stormtrooper conversionsI have seen plenty. Took inspiration from a few, like converting Necron warrior heads into skull-faced gas masks and converting Cadian flamers into hellguns.
>>98878402>>98878346>>98878298I must confess. I like all the Inquisitorial Stormtrooper designs. Even the current Tempestus Scions. I will admit I was disappointed at the Aquilon drop troopers as they could have been Elysians. Does anybody have some STL remakes or even good scans of the Tempestus Scions? And is the general rule of thumb nowadays for making custom Stormtroopers is to have them have those "laser wire belts" for their guns so they can easily be "read" as stormtrooper units?
>>98878483>You said that before Scions people just had metal KasrkinsThis was never said, you need to learn how to actually read. The argument was that few options existed and the majority of people just did their regimental colours on kasrkins. So the "variety" anon was talking about is correct in lore but just wasn't evident on the tabletop, at least from my experience.>I have seen plentyFair enough then, that's what I wanted to hear. Kinda confused how one makes hellguns out of flamers though.

>>98878505What people choose is different from what options they have available to them. We had Kasrkin, we had stromtroopers, we even had Krieg Grenadiers. That's three official model ranges for the same unit at the time. On top of options to convert if you so chose.>Kinda confused how one makes hellguns out of flamers though.Swap the tanks for a stripped down vox-caster, cut the flamer muzzle and add the front end of a lasgun. Sort of something like pic related, just done a little more neatly.
>>98878549>What people choose is different from what options they have available to themI get that, but my argument very specifically was about what people chose. I can't blame them either, if you're faced with the options of>paint kasrkin/inq stormtroopers in own coloursOr>figure out how to kitbash/convert yourdudes in carapace armour with hellgunsI know which I'd choose. I appreciate the scions for existing though and giving another option.>that kitbashEhh looks weird to me and doesn't seem practical with requiring a vox unit per dude, but I'm glad that guy liked it enough to make it work for him.
>>98878576>giving another optionWhile removing others.>requiring a vox unit per dudeYou got like 4 in each Cadian and Catachan box. And vox-casters weren't that useful, so there were plenty to go around. Besides, that's just one design. You could also cut the hose and mount a lasgun magazine well with the power pack onto the flamer body.
>>98878614Legitimately, what options are scions "removing"?
>>98878619We got Scions but lost OG stormies they replaced and Krieg Grenadiers. Before we had three official model ranges, now we have two. Technically one, since Kasrkin are now their own unit (before they all used Stormtrooper rules).
>>98878203Iyanden CHAD. I like all your models really, good taste. Except the ATV that is ugly

>>98878641They haven't replaced anything though, regular stormtroopers still exist. Kasrkins got plastics, you never know what's in store for the inquisitorial and krieg grenadiers. Also you can still buy and use old/third party stormtroopen models.

Whatever happened to Belakor-anon?
>>98878651>sourcing OOP models is a more credible options for stormtroopers than using OG stormtroopers and krieg grenadiers back when they were available from the storeJesus...
>>98878663It's the one model to me that is the personification of "Primaris Slop". They tried to mash together multiple different aesthetics without respect to the original material and ended up something that is neither here nor there and as a result is worse than if it was just a "bad" sculpt of a singular unified and clear identity. It's like someone took a Halo Warthog, fucked it with some nu-futurist space rover, forgot it was supposed to be cool, and slapped some gubbins on there and called it a day.
>>98878683>advocates for kitbashing/converting>balks at sourcing third party minis or 3d proonting OOPYeah I don't think I can help you here, you just want to blindly hate on scions.
why do they insist on pushed chapters being first founding ones so much in 40k? the supplement chapters i get but who really cares about iron hands and white scars? hell they should be giving crimson fists more attention than imperial fists save it for 30k
>>98878695Converting was brought up ages ago and you dismissed is as something that was never done. Pick a fucking lane and stick with it already.

>>98878719marines malevolent
>>98878719Space Wolves. I paid someone to paint my models so you have to wait
>>98878723
>>98878706Yes, because in my experience it was very rare to see someone with actual converted stormtroopers rather than just repainted kasrkins. It's still an option to you, and the existence of scions doesn't take away any of those options. Maybe they would have done some plastic inquisitorial ss or krieg grenadiers if scions didn't exist but that's a huge maybe, GW is fickle. This isn't a primaris situation where GW is saying scions replace stormtroopers. They both still have datasheets, they both have models available around the place.

>>98878649If you want to go monster mash, you definitely need a Norn, it's a sick model and also probably top 3 units for nids atm. It's just good. Although I wouldn't really pick up anything right now based soley on how good it is right now. Rumors are Nids are getting a codex early next year so it could all change. Like, Carnifex's are kinda meh right now, but they are such an iconic unit with cool sculpts. If you want stuff that's good right now:1. Norn2. Maleceptors3. TFex (magnetized with options)4.

>>98878786This is an altered photo clearly
>>98878789>the Emperor used to be George Floyd
>>98878794No I don't think so, the pixels look great and it's clearly in that guy's style.
>>98878789>Santa>historicUhhh
>>98878801No Dan Abnett had Matt Damon shoot that guy.
>>98878808
>>98878775NTAI want to hear them because they make you seethe like nothing else, permabanned pedo
I actually really like these tone pro paints, base coating models is a breeze. They definitely made enough that I think they’re planning on people replacing their old paints. One half of the paint rack is the new paints and the old line got downsized. The whole dry brush paint line was in the soon to be gone section of the GW store.
>>98878826Don’t you think it be better for the thread if we just got along instead of you continuing to create division and constantly insult people here?
Quite a lot of things to do before it's fully complete, but getting there to be collage ready.
any real ass niggas here?
>>98878857Awesome models nice job
>>98878850>PeopleNo, just permaban evading pedos like (you)You do not belong here and never will, kill yourself immediately
i hate that fake ass nigga lorgar. id beat the fuck outta dat bald ass nigga
>>98878850the problem is you can never naturally get along with anybody. every single modelposter who has at one point tried to defend you or help you has eventually chosen to begin disliking you to the point there’s an entire collage of modelposters who made dioramas to spite your faction. and it isn’t because certain anons slander you either, there’s plenty of other anons who’ve been justly or unjustly hated like sallyfag, ratfag, and I like orks :D poster, and marines malevolent slopper who still got some, or even most anons to openly like them. you’re the only one who seemingly gets hated on universally.
>>98878880Okay w/e man just forget I said anything and talk about something else
>decalfaggingAnyways, how is (You)r collage coming along?I just need to paint the pelt and put on some >Decals
>>98878886Love your stuff brother
>>98878886Welcome to the pack bro. I offer my knotted dildo and a referral to the painter that paints my stuff for me
>>98878886Finished mine a couple days ago.
>>98878885why do you keep doing this? you make such a fuss with “you’re not funny” this, “kill yourself faggot” that, and then you’re confronted with the truth that no one likes you, and its all your fault, you just stick your fingers in your ears. its embarrassing.
>>98878891>>98878897At this point I'm just going to post in /WIP/.
>>98878897Kys
>>98878886>that fucked up looking guy on the leftstay strong, brother.stay strong for the emperor.
>>98878903>Decalfag drove another better painter away
>>98878903?? Why we love your work here>>98878901I’m just trying to stop the bullshit man so I’m sorry I don’t want to keep the back and forth going
>>98878911He’s leaving because of your sick comments about knots and dildos you sack of shit
>>98878903>I’m escaping the only place I’ll be free of the decalfag!>/wip/!
>>98878912There's one way you can stop the bullshit.
>>98878708Why is it that the Iron Hands are generally sidelined by the other space marine first founding chapters? Are they the least popular of the bunch?
>>98878912you’re the bullshit. you need to get the fuck out because no one likes you, and no one will ever get along with you.
>>98878917actually, those comments only exist because you post here, so it is still your fault.
It's quite funny and on brandbthat /wip/ would be the only general free of the mutant.
>>98878917Nope, entirely because he doesn't want to be associated with you pedo
>>98878740im just thinking that if they have these two systems, why push the same factions for everything?its not as if 40k hasn't made successors icons before
I've procrastinated for too long. Whipping out my airbrush tonight. How are the collage submissions going so far?
>>98878942Mine's all done, just waiting on the anchor post now
>>98878922GW forgets about us a fair amount and refuses to whip david guymer back to finishing the iron hands trilogy.
>>98878918RIP
>>98878942It's going >>98878857 but I'm in a similar boat of not having enough time, I don't think I'll get the results I want by the end of the month.
>>98878936>>98878925So you admit you’re the ones driving people away then because you’re the ones making all the incendiary comments about Wolves yes?
>>98878947Iron Hands are so cool… Cyborg Space Marines are so cool…
>>98878922Iron Hands you say?
>>98878922>AdMech draws more of the fans of the fantasy and aesthetic>too many things called "Iron -something-">they're 1 of 13 flavors of space marine supported by GW>black and white paint scheme is boring and hard for newcomers>less flashy, less models, less interesting (read: less overtuned fotm bullshit meant to increase sales in WAACfags) rules>secondary/tertiary interest never mentions them, it's always Ultramarines (unless it's DoW or the Space Wolf in Rogue Trader)And a few others I didn't come up with in the 60 seconds I wrote this
>>98877333>>98877359Man, the tiny-headed nucadians are so bad.
>>98878886All I gotta do is paint the pauldrond and base them and Im done. I'm heckin hyped
>>98878949I'm just gonna break out marine juice for mine instead of oil washes. I've got enough bullshit going on that I'd rather not set aside two days for "wait on oil paint to cure" time. I'll save that for when I'm painting at a more liesurely pace.Did the mutie ever finish his hellblasters, by the way?
>>98878953We've reached the point of the decalpedo's meltdown where he detaches from reality
>>98878947>>98878954>>98878955Is it for the best that the Iron Hands aren't given that much attention? Same for Raven Guard? >on a slightly different space marine noteWhat are some particular examples of successor chapters having a radically different culture, customs, combat doctrines etc. from their founding chapter? Are Ultramarines/Imperial Fists meant to be the two flavors of "blank slate space marine founding chapters" for one to homebrew his dudes?
>>98878953shut the fuck up.
>>98878900this shit is beautiful
>>98878976Okay done deal, let’s just move on.
We gotta make a new thread where we talk about 40k and name it something like "/CG/ - Checkers General" so he doesnt think to go in there.
>>98878988Why don’t you just stop mentioning or responding to any decal stupidity and be a fucking adult for once in your life
>>98878988nah, we should just make a new general, and call it the /ndg/ “no decalfag general”
>>98878992Why don't you just obey your permaban
>>98878992you said you’d shut the fuck up, now be a good little boy and do it.
>>98878974>Is it for the best that the Iron Hands aren't given that much attention? Same for Raven Guard?Yes and No.I want my IH kniggas to have more lore and support. Do I want them to be popular?No as that invites the hoards into my special club and you end up like (and Allah forgive me for saying this) like the BAngles, DAngles, Furfags or chud templars
>>98878705>but who really cares about iron hands and white scarsI doWish I had remembered to check on the collage theme for the month before I worked on this guy, maybe next month. Very happy at least with how this turned out, two to go>>98878203Always love seeing your work
>>98878988That won't work. Decalfag also seems to just stay here. He's our modern Iron Tard except instead of always going to threads that mock the Iron Warriors, he stays in this general. https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/98246819/#q98283912
>>98878705White scars mog your shitty faction
My collage project is primed. Word Bearers, or Night Lords again?
>>98879033Hahaha holy shit
>>98879000>Do I want them to be popular?>No as that invites the hoards into my special club and you end up like (and Allah forgive me for saying this) like the BAngles, DAngles, Furfags or chud templarsSo in a strange way. Embracing the Warhammer 40k "glup shitto" stuff is the best way to enjoy them? Has that always been the way things were to be?
>>98879040NIGHT LORDS NIGHT LORDS NIGHT LORDS

>>98879042The archived threads are good sources for reaction images if you lose your reaction images and need to rebuild the collection.Were not at the point where our resident space wolf autist is threatening people with a fork yet. https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/75756864/#q75757502But yeah some autists take their Warhammer 40k factions too far beyond "tongue in cheek" jovial joking manners and sometimes even take great offense at their factions being mocked. Iron Tard even has the bitterness of the Iron Warriors. https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/75354254/#75354702
>>98878974>Is it for the best that the Iron Hands aren't given that much attention? Same for Raven Guard?For now, I guess it’s for the best. The Iron Hands are doing this Iron Crusade thing currently. The Raven Guard are preparing to defend their homeworld against an upcoming waagh. None of this is relevant to M42 stuff. All of that lore was years ago and I don’t think there hasn’t been any updates since>What are some particular examples of successor chapters having a radically different culture, customs, combat doctrines etc.On the top of my head: Black Templars, Exorcists, Mortifactors
you know, i kinda wish that GW spent a lil bit on the bases plastic and just had a slot for magnets on the bottom. If archon can manage to have slots that hold on friction alone surely they could too right
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrTWHvyCqqkI don't know much about the setting but this was in my YouTube feed. How accurate is it?
>>98879034Based
>>98879220Lurk moar zoomzoom
Already posted mine earlier >>98878886I'm wondering if I should go over them again with a highlight post-oil wash, they had highlights before but they feel very muted now.
>>98879016>>98879034i don't hate them or anything, just question if they deserve focus in 40k over any successor chapters
>>98878679Whoa, really appreciate it anon!The codex alone is great, if you can easily link Eye of Terror that's the main one I haven't been able to find, I've cobbled together 2-3 of each of the others from a few places at this point
Why do only tau and votann get drones Why can’t chaos get any
>>98878886It's coming along.
>>98878886not gonna take pictures atm but hellblaster squad basically just has decals and energy/lens to go.>somehow its taken a week not a year
>>98878740Gorgeous feller
>>98879372Tsons have some
>>98878679>>98879331Wait just realized from your phrasing, did you physically scan this yourself? Seriously thanks if so, and I'm not gonna ask you to do that for the other stuff
So the way I understand it, Listbuilding now is>Pick any units you want, don't mind any tax>Give them a Character nanny>Put them in a relevant detachment I'd that so?
>>98879372Lawnmower drones are a core DG unit.
>>98877768>t. Fuckboy
>>98875313Hey everyone it's once again time for the collage anchor posts.This month's theme was "plasma/energy weapon and spooky" and was left to your own interpretation. I'll try to post an anchor every thread but if you can't spot me write"here is my october collage submission" and it'll be way easier to find you in the archive.Here is the link to next month's votehttps://strawpoll.com/kogjRpO0Eg6
>>98880171Hey collage anon, here's my October submission: >>98878900
>>98880171Meltas are energy weapons, right?Thanks once again for running this
can you still use 3DP detachment in 1000 matches?
>>98880330yes

I just bought like 40 push fit grots
New warriors or carnifex this year?
>>98880676The classic kits are good but I'd say new gargoyles before them anyway.
>>98879725More or less.
>>98878918Kekked
4e space marinesshould I run crimson fists as codex compliant? or a minor deviation with the suffer not the alien to live (orks) advantage, and faithful unto death drawback?having preferred enemy against orks and less force org slots due to taking grievous losses is both fluffy
>>98880743>literally scroll down the page slightly and it literally says to do that for crimson fistsguess i'm retarded
>>98875841>Renegate Star phantom> with meltagunSalute to your knowledge mister
Which of these two icons do you like more?
>>98880922Right one looks better. As much I am an edgelord who like black + red, it's kind of a generic color combination.Red + white looks striking.
>>98880925Thanks, I was really struggling to choose.
>>98880922maybe try a combination
>>98880942I prefer it to be just one color; I love simplicity.
>>98880922The white one looks best, it’ll pop out better against most background colours.
I guess I will stick with the WB head after all

Well, after glancing at the essen GD winners what I've learned is that GW is DESPERATE to sell votann.
>>98881388genuinely a waste of plastic, as are genestealers.GW are already spreading themselves thin with army ranges and now we have this rumour of dark admech as ANOTHER faction.
>>98881388They saw how popular deep rock galactic was and made a billion of their gay ass dwarf models
>>98881343Abaddon the Loyalist...
>>98881343most imaginative alpha legion writer
>>98881343There are plenty of fanfic about it
>>98881343That'd be okay, actually. Many legions went traitor (or stayed loyal) because they followed what their Primarch chose.Isolated from the Primarch, you could have loyalists from traitor legions and vice versa.I mean, every post-heresy traitor is from a loyalist geneseed after all.
>>98881500Probably why the red corsairs have grown in huge numbers, the appeal of being a free agent doing whatever you want while not as committed to chaos as the black legion.
>>98881306bro the DEI granny?
>>98881512> some human female ship bitchAngron also has a ship hoe, this isnt new
>TQI dont know if it would be "adding" something but I think for more enjoyment on tabletop and for things that could happen in lore, the horus heresy should have shattered the imperium entirely. You could still have empires like ultramar and maybe others centered around home worlds of the other legions. With this you could justify more conflicts between what would have been allies at one point, and if push comes to shove it isn't impossible for them to work together temporarily. This would make the humans not nearly as strong as they currently are, and would allow smaller empires from other species have more strength on a galactic scale. You could then do fun things with this like have some sort of varangian guard offshoot of the spacewolves that act as bodyguards for like an eldar farseer or a tau ethereal or something like that. Skys the limit.
There’s really no escaping the goyim cycle huh. This is it.
