Probably not, which is unfortunate. Really the models needing updates are the lesser daemons

I would esp like new daemonettes

yeah daemonettes aged pretty badly

Really? Furries got decent new models on the AoS side of things. Seems odd to ditch them for 40k when new models are right there

#

all loyalist primarchs who are not guilliman should be dead and/or in some tragic condition

#

dorn should be retconned back into a whole ass skeleton on the phalanx

#

russ should be a horrible wolf monster imprisoned by magnus as a pet

#

the lion should wake up only to immediately be stabbed by luther

#

corax should remain a bird daemon thing but hunt both traitors and imperials alike for rejecting the imperial truth and collectively building a nightmare galaxy filled with tyrants

#

the khan should be a pain engine

#

vulkan should be peacefully farming somewhere isolated from the rest of the galaxy, content and at peace

elfin yew
#

Khan purchased by Bile for his own purpose YES

tight urchin
#

hell you could make these into models for all i care

I'd love if the imperial fists committed tech heresy and had an amber clad dorn skeleton golem running around wearing dorn's armor and all as some sort of shrine

#

or a khan pain engine

#

or a feral werewolf russ who can be played by either space wolves or thousand sons (a freed or unfreed pet)

#

or a bird shadow teleporty corax

#

except the lion fuck that guy

No one starts off good king. Your heart is in the right place, don’t give up on these despite them being traitors. If you put time into painting and take your time to learn your strong points and teach yourself new tricks you’ll turn out good.

I’m by no means the best but I take what I learn carefully and eventually it just becomes muscle memory

#

If you need help I can give you tips I’ve personally learned but besides that don’t sell yourself short your better than others I’ve seen at my shop

For those of you that are still relatively new to painting minis, is it hard? How have you found it? I really want to get into it but am terrified of spending money and just messing up mini after mini. Don't really have the income to be ok with doing a really bad job. I know practice is needed, but how long do you think it took for some of you to feel comfortable with buying minis?

brisk vapor
#

I'm not new to painting but you can always strip the paint off and retry if you're not happy with it

#

Although I like to save all the paintjobs I've done to see how far I've come

brisk vapor
#

ye surprisingly many don't, it can be with a number of chemicals depending where you live

#

because not everything is as readily available everywhere

spring arch
#

I used methylated spirits to strip my first minis

spring arch
#

Here's my first attempt. I stripped those

#

My first Chaos marine after taking what I learned from messing up my novitiates

#

Retry of my novitiates, way more happy with them

#

And these were painted a week or so ago.

#

As you can see, lots of progress in a pretty short time. You just have to not be afraid to try things and maybe start over 🙂

# gloomy dragon For those of you that are still relatively new to painting minis, is it hard? Ho...

I can give you my experience for what it's worth:

I was painting minis in the 90's as a teenager and absolutely hated it. There were no resources back there and for the impatient teenager who wanted to play that I was, painting minis was a chore.

I then quit 40k for various reason around 2000 and sold all my minis.

20 years later, I felt like having an Imperial Guard army again, so I started watching a lot of tutorials on Youtube. There are A LOT of resources you can find which are aimed at beginners and it's also very interesting to see what very experienced and talented people do, even if you don't feel like trying their techniques yourself.

Also, you'll have to think about how much time you want to invest in painting minis. I don't have much time in my life for leisure anymore, so I've chosen to use Contrast paints which save a lot of time and I try and avoid spending hours and hours on a mini to try and get something perfect. That's what I tried with my 5 first minis and it took me a year and a half to finish them lol.

About messing up, before stripping, you can also just correct your paint by putting a layer paint on the mistake and painting on it again. Of course, you can do that up to a certain point. ^^

spring arch
#

Also, biggest tip I can give:
Do not use a pure white to paint large areas

sage matrix
#

The best advice is watch videos to gain a sense of a logical process of painting

errant fulcrum
sage matrix
#

After that once you start painting you’ll get to know the paint and the properties it’s has, then you’ll learn what works and what doesn’t

#

Patience is key

#

And what I like to do is use one paint at a time. For example I’ll only paint certain pieces one color (I.e. painting all silver metallics) before I move on the next step

#

Batch painting also helps.

#

So a squad of five would mean go down the line and paint each one a uniform color then once you get to the last model go back to the first and use your next color

#

Doing this save a tone of time, otherwise you go back and forth and back and forth for no reason at all

#

Once you get your main colors in you then you can be more nit picky and clean edges at mishaps and what not

spring arch
#

That's how you end up ruining multiple models' paint jobs

white stag
#

Heh, I am always trying something new, that's why I never learned how to batch paint.

# gloomy dragon For those of you that are still relatively new to painting minis, is it hard? Ho...

As other people point out, there are a ton of resources to help you out, and there are new paints made for quickly painting armies. Also, to quote adventure time, sucking at something is the first step to being kinda good at something. You will ruin/poorly paint your first couple of models, but that's ok. As for comfort, whatever's in your budget, but I would shy away from buying a whole army in one go. Start small, and see how you like the process.

spring arch
#

Starting small is indeed a great idea

#

If you're interested in something 40k, take a look at Kill Team

#

It's anything between 4 and 10 models that'll get you a full team to play with, and most of them can be built from a single box

#

Contrast paints aren't just for quickly painting armies either

spring arch
#

Oh, and something I haven't seen anyone mention yet, I think

#

If you have a Warhammer store anywhere nearby you can always walk in and ask them about painting a mini

#

They'll usually have a free mini to start you off with

edgy jackal
#

Here are the GW guidelines on tabletop standards, you don't need to be a master to start.

I started in April with a single Kill Team

#

I now have 3 Kill Teams (1 unpainted because I'm waiting for the new contrasts) and a 1k point Sisters of Battle army (~20 models left to paint)

not exactly 40k persay but something kinda easy n fun to paint nontheless

#

Greatest design is still the pipe organ tank. I love it so much

junior blaze
#

i want these

sage matrix
#

Also easier to preserve blends and keep consistency across your units

#

I would however break up batch painting by doing 5 models at a time, it’s entirely manageable

brisk vapor
#

Gotta agree with that, when I was starting out I pretty much only batch painted and by painting A LOT you learn pretty quickly.

How long does it take for gw to deliver btw ?

#

Sent right to you or pick it up from a local store?

brisk vapor
#

100%, they just rereleased the set with a larger set of marines so it's pretty popular so that's why they're out of stock at the moment

#

if it's a mainline GW store then yeah

#

but home delivery is around two weeks for me but my orders are delivered from the german stocks, you should have closer distributor in the us so it depends really

#

check the 3rd party gw sellers, they might still have them

the larger infantry boxes are a thing because Horus Heresy is pretty infantry heavy game

those prices I linked were in euros so I'm not sure if they're the same in dollars

they're probably a bit more

Now I wait for gw to restock

Hopefully soon

Appreciate the info

did you check those 3rd party retailers I linked? They might still have them

and probably cheaper

I've got 30 mk3 marines still new on sprue from the burning of prospero kit that have been in the pile of shame for 5 like years now that I can't sell because everyone else around me also bought that box and has mk3s they're trying to get rid of

*The main mono-faction bonus for daemons is what's known as Warp Storm Points.

These are generated at the start of each battle round by rolling 8d6, and on each 4+ you gain a warp storm point. If you're using multiple gods, you take a penalty of rolling 2 fewer d6 per god (so if you're souping 2 gods you get 6d6).

These points last until the end of the battle round and can be spent on various effects at different times throughout the round, with each effect having varying costs - you can't use the same effect twice in the same round though. The majority of these effects apply to all units in your army when activated

In addition to a variety of effects everyone has access to, each god has 3 unique effects they can access. However, these only affect units of the respective god.

Some examples of warp storm point effects (some of these are universal, some are god specific):

+1 to advance and charge
Enemies must roll a d6 before falling back and can't on a 4+
Shoot/fight on death
+1 AP in melee*

so my first game with chaos marines happened today, and here is my assessment: possessed are probably the best unit in the chaos marine codex. holy shit the sheer volume of attacks you get mixed with being incredibly durable for what they cost per model. mix in a master of possession and they are a force to be reckoned with.

what glue did you use

citadel platic glue

if you didn't use massive amounts of it you ought to be able to twist the parts off without breaking them if you're careful

I tried, but i think they would brake

but thanks!

they might but if you consider the model ruined it may not matter that much?

actually true

just taking it slow and twisting could get them off without a problem

it was just 5 Necron Immortals. i can get them cheep at my gamestore again. Im just happy it wasn't one of the "exclusive" minitures.

just that its not a specific chapter because its a model literally just made up for whatever you want

just thought i'd give a quick reminder for anyone interested in playing horus heresy that it is perfectly acceptable to use proxy models. anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is a dipshit.

Ayyy lucky then

another way to proxy as well is for example to take a 5 man squad of hellblasters as a plasma gun tactical support squad

#

or take a regular whirlwind as a whirlwind scorpius

Oh yeah, as long as its discussed beforehand I'm down with that

I like black. Hides my mistakes :]

edgy cipher
#

It depends what kind of colour you want to achieve

hoary ermine
#

lighter colors benefit grey

#

darker colors or more intense metals prefer black

#

matte and super dark blacks are especially good for realistic metallics

junior blaze
#

hmmm

#

maybe ill just grab both

hoary ermine

zenithals are nice with black and grey sprey

its basically preshading a model

I just went to dollar tree and bought the smallest ones

learning to use a dermal tool will be a upgrade to every model when you learn to use it properly

i'll pose a question to you all: should i make my last 20 mkVI tactical marines a full 20 man squad, or do a 10 man squad plus two 5 man support squads?

median pumice
#

One 15 man squad with chainsaw bayonets, one five man support squad. Unless youre going for like more tactical flexibility. Then do what you wanted above.

13-15 man squads are the sweet spot apparebtly mathhammer wise. From what i hear

Bit of a long shot question, but does anyone know how tall the squat exo-driller model is compared to say an ambot?

There's a few ways to make snow bases, can find some good tutorials on youtube.

plush swift
#

my favourite is mixing baking soda with PVA glue until you get a thick paste

#

got some pretty good results, due to the glue you can stick it to surfaces it would otherwise fall off and it doesn't change color with years

for me at least

I painted them 3y ago, the snow is still white

Got this toy cannon from a Goodwill and I was thinking of painting it up like an Archeotech cannon. Question is do I paint it like it belongs to the Guard, Mechanicus, or as an ancient object covered in rust and shit.

elfin yew
#

Ah yes, I have oneshotted your entire gameplan from across the board

#

Thus why snipers also tend to be weak

#

Esp with the LULNERF to bodyguard

placid kernel
#

True, but I feel like there has to be a balance between body guards actually being body guards and assassins actually being able to assassinate someone

#

If you don't bring bodyguards to protect your important dude they deserve to be shot

#

At least in my mind

elfin yew
#

Yeah but the thing is that Bodyguard does literally nothing now

#

If Bodyguard wasnt gimped, snipers could be good

#

It also becomes especially fun™️ because RAW, you can literally see a femtometer of a model and shoot it

#

So if your HQs happen to have say, a flag on their back, get fucked

#

Im hoping 10e completely throws out current cover rules and redoes them

#

Teaching 40k's weird cover interactions has been the most complicated part for me to explain

#

"Well you see, artillery gets a -1 to hit when outside of LOS. No that isnt dense cover even though it is nearly identical."

#

I hold that fight priority and the different kinds of cover are the worst rules in 40k

placid kernel
#

Yeah cover seems like a nightmare on a larger scale, thankfully explaining it in terms of kill team to my friends was kinda simple

placid kernel
elfin yew
#

Yep

elfin yew
#

Since it only has COVER and not 3 kinds

bold copper
#

Kill team is probably GWs best game at the moment IMO

placid kernel
#

Torn between that and Underworlds to me

Smaller scale is when gw is at its best imo

#

Don't have to worry about bloat and balance becomes easier

for me you just can't beat the feeling of fielding a whole army
