they can only be used in disciples of tzeentch and thousand sons, and htey play very differently in both games

in AOS it basically casts random spells that go form meh to obserdly strong

in 40k its a cabal point generator

how well does the primaris upgrade kit work on chaos space marines

#

I am going to start a thousand sons army

#

im gonna try a metallic green to make a Jade Scarab kind of theme\

if my attempts to get on age of sigmar goes wrong i might do the same

3D printed terrain finally finished, needs some cleanup but can't complain, kinda underestimated how big it would be though

brisk vapor
#

quite large yeah 😄

#

looks neat though

placid kernel
#

Supposed to look like an alien rainforest, there are some more conventional buildings I'll likely use more often at the bottom of the box

#

Figured it could pass as ghur terrain minus the buildings and then for kill team I can just lob in the buildings

twilit cliff
#

thinking how i'd store them

placid kernel
#

Yeah me too, thinking ill just put them on a shelf as a kinda diorama when I'm not using them

bold copper
#

mini rant coming up: boy i sure would love to get my hands on some alpha legion transfers for my heresy army. too bad that they have been out of fucking stock on the GW website for literally more than 2 months now!!

brisk vapor
#

they did restock all(?) HH transfers a month or so back but they were sold out pretty quick again, check if any 3rd party stores has them. I got mine from a german site instead

bold copper
#

i also wish they would get mkIV marines back in stock

bold copper
#

nope

# twilit cliff ebay?

#

draw them yourself?

#

lmao

#

i experimented with making a simple chapter emblem, failed

bold copper
# edgy jackal wayland games?

i'm in the U.S. and last time i looked there was some legal jargon that prevented U.K. stores like element games or wayland games from selling and shipping to U.S.

#

might have changed, but that was last time i checked

edgy jackal
#

oof

twilit cliff
#

worst case scenario

#

you can get some 3rd party printer to print a transfer copy

#

don't know about the legality of that

Fuck chariot of Slaanesh

#

All 4 versions

#

It id quite literally the least fun most bullshit model to assemble

#

I I think I can say the exalted chariot of Slaanesh is the worst model

#

It falls apart at literal random

#

None of the parts nicely fit together

#

And it’s so fucking sharp

#

And pokey

#

And for the exalted you need 2 OF THE FUCKING KITS TO BUILD IT

placid kernel
#

giving pain and pleasure in equal measure

compact umbra
#

NOT EVEN PLEASURE NOTHING IS PLEASING ABOUT BUILDING IT

#

Nothing and I mean nothing on it has any form of proper fitting

#

And the directions are garbage

#

And the packaging?

#

No shit it comes in the old fucking warhammer fantasy box

#

I’m not fucking kidding

#

OH HO HO AND THRSE THINGS

#

GUESS WHAT

THEY ARENT PRE ATTACHED

#

AND THEY FALL PFF CONSTANTLY AND NEVER EVER GUCKING FIR

#

NO MATTER WHAT WAY UOU PUT IT ON

#

And that fuckinh whip

#

It is a blessing it didn’t arrive broken

#

I hope the only single good thing I can say about this mode is it comes with a herald of Slaanesh

aren't all of those old models

compact umbra
#

YES BUT THIS IS AN AFTUAL COMBAT PATROL

#

YOU RONT UNDERSTAND ALL THE DAEMON START COLLECTINGS CONTAINS LITERALLU MOTHINT

bold copper
#

i think it was a missed opportunity to make the combat patrol just khorne

#

but what do i know, i don't play daemons

compact umbra
#

They will porbably make one for each god

#

I am 100% buying thsi if it’s cheaper then the normal one

bold copper
#

so the daemon combat patrol is $123 usd worth of savings

#

that is a pretty solid deal

compact umbra
#

Unless he misspoke there will probably be more

#

God I’m so excited

#

I’m gonna fucking blow my paychecks on the dice and card packs and the limited edition codex

#

FUCKKKK THEY LITERALLY JUST SOLD OUT OF CYPHER ONLINE

subtle steeple
#

So I have a question. I'm going to be starting my space marines with the Dark Angels box. clean 500 points and will probably move up to 1k after, though unsure of how long. I was recommended by my friends to just put on Plasma for the Inceptors and proxy them as Bolters, because once I move up to 1k I'll be using plasma. Since I dont want to buy new models, and this is my first army and Idk how to magnetize. that a good idea?

bold copper
#

plasma generally speaking is usually the better option. points-wise it is more expensive to field the plasma inceptors than the bolter ones. but it is worth it build with the plasma and then if you want to use the regular bolter, just let your opponent know before the game that you are running it as that weapon.

subtle steeple
#

I also feel like it would be a waste to learn to magnetize, do it on them, but then as soon as I switch to 1k I put on plasma and never switch them again

elfin yew
#

Most ppl dont actually care abt playing whats on model unless ur in some incredibly comp environment

#

Since theres alot of kits that dont even come with their full loadout

DRG Gunner Update

#

If I wanted to get into collecting/painting minis, where would a good place to start be? A kill team box? A patrol?

edgy cipher
#

Patrol boxes are good, they come with an army ready to play and they usually have a nice 30% off compared to if you bought every mini by itself

#

I don't think I have a GW store within comfortable driving distance

#

I am also rather conflicted on what faction to go with

#

There are several that I like

#

Except for Chaos, I won't do Chaos

#

I like Space Marines, Eldar, Necron and specifically Tallarn Guardsmen

bold copper
high vault
#

the 9th edition beginners set comes with a necron and a space marine, although you will need to buy extra paints like the red and gold since it does not come with it

dawn stream
#

That sounds promising

dawn stream
#

I took a look at it and if I do get that I'll probably end up painting it something not Ultrasmurf

Man when it comes to models going from templars to eldar is like going from being the youngest child to being the middle child lol

wtf

#

a lot of their core is updated tho

#

gettin more care than guard atm

errant fulcrum
#

I have hope since the icons got rotated out it might mean we get new sculpts

#

But I wish the wraithseer was in plastic

elfin yew
#

At this rate we're just missing Scorpions, Fire dragons, and Swooping Hawks, then all the phoenix lords - Jain Zar

elfin yew
#

It kind of is unfortunate that the units which got updated, subsequently sucked LMAO

#

Guardians and Dark Reapers

hasty sorrel
#

atleast 3 models there have been updated

errant fulcrum
#

I hope baharoth gets updated

crisp forge
#

to be fair, does it matter

elfin yew
#

Eldrad, ra, warlocks, AoK

crisp forge
#

Yeah this page is more to show the minis in the years

#

not "these havent been updated yet"

elfin yew
#

Maugan Ra and the Reapers were punished for being the only good 8e CWE Units

To be fair

they deserved it for those lego skull faces

i hate their faces so much

Haven’t done much Black Templars recently cause I’ve been painting eldar

i'm hopefully picking up the sicaran at some point soon

errant fulcrum
#

Oh ya that got released

bold copper
#

but i picked up 2 contemptor dreads and a deimos rhino first

errant fulcrum
#

Contemptors are still cool tho

#

I plan to give mine gut’s sword from Berserk

bold copper
#

and since i got 2 of them i can equip them with any possible weapon loadout i want them to have

errant fulcrum

#

These are all the eldar of have finished so far

bold copper
#

never really been a fan of eldar. but they look really good

I only like the craftworlds cause they have cool stuff

i find drukhari much more interesting personally

Fair enough

Oh ya I don’t like elves in fantasy either

dark elves are super cool to me for the fact that they're evil simply because "why not?"

even though malikith in warhammer fantasy is just edgier anakin skywalker

to anyone thats worked with resin models is it annoying to work with them? I want to get a wraithseer but I have only heard bad things about resin and want to get a second opinion.

elfin yew
#

Its forgeworld resin so its marginally better

#

I would just convert a wraithlord since thats both GW and plastic

#

Iirc the only actual difference is the glaive and the tabard

How the shit does made to order stuff run out of stock????

#

Like does god just not WNATe to get cypher

elfin yew
#

@compact umbra how much is he from gw

#

There are Cyphers on ebay for like

#

$45

errant fulcrum
elfin yew
#

I think the wraithlord even comes with a glaive option, so its basically just the tabard

errant fulcrum
#

i don't think so

#

unless the wraitlord in the combat patrol is different

compact umbra
#

But he’s not for sale atm

compact umbra
elfin yew
#

O

elfin yew
#

Wraithknight has a similar oddity where its sword is called a glaive

errant fulcrum
#

no it is a sword I just thought you were saying it came with a spear as well

elfin yew
#

Ahh

errant fulcrum
#

ooooh lightbulb

#

give the wraithseer the avatar of khaines spear

elfin yew
#

I think thatd work

errant fulcrum

it look sick as fuck

now I just need to get an avatar of khaine

#

oh wait...

hes expensive

so let me pose a question to all the lovely people: what are horus heresy kits that are currently in resin that you would like to see come to plastic?

errant fulcrum
#

in all seriousness the primarchs

bold copper
#

lol

#

i'd like to see the whirlwind scorpius, personally

#

but since the deimos predator is coming to plastic, the scorpius is very likely coming up

#

i'd also like to see some of the legion specific units come to plastic as welll

#

such as the alpha legion lernaean terminator squad

that part with the eye ports

cut them off and put them sidewars on the eyes

maybe only for the sniper

Im prolly just gonna give the sgt sniper and gunner helmet optics, and everyone else an antenna

But prolly just like one eye, or maybe the visor from the new pathy set

I wish they had the pathys at my lgs

i really like that tau is usper unrestricted to kitbash with

you can always say 'TECHNOLOGY'

and doesnt have the imperium annoyance of 'well yeah they haev this super cool gun only my chapter uses, but no they didnt invent it tehy found teh stc'

i feel like lore wise the hardest to make completely custom stuff woudl be liek

space marines

#

eldar on the lesser side

#

admech are great for kitbashing lore wise because they are the fucking admech

AND THEM MAKE A PIRATE THEMED BLOOD ANGELS SUCCESSOR

compact umbra
#

It seems like BA haves more unqiue stuff but i think its mostly stuff they adopted

#

and not really invented

#

that is cool tho that it holds librarians

dire idol
#

I bet part of it is that the tabletop doesn't really have the resolution for a ton of unique wargear.

#

GW also keeps a fairly tight leash on licensed products inventing shit.

compact umbra
#

yeah especially SM are on ar elaly tight leash about having unique stuff

#

as its mostl y load outs

#

actually let me look at some of the primaris stats

#

and see how much weapon variety you get

#

god damn it GW

#

If no model in this unit is equipped with a heavy bolter, you can take one of the following options:

  • All of the models in the unit can have their heavy bolt rifles replaced with 1 hellstorm bolt rifle each,
  • All of the models in the unit can have their heavy bolt rifles replaced with 1 executor bolt rifle each.
#

god damn it gw

you can simplify this into one line

#

yea it looks like alot of stuff is very strict, except for like Sergeants in some units or one model units

#

even with some 1-3 model units its like

#

theres no gear options at all

#

not coutning hqs

elfin yew
#

SM have weird loadout restrictions. Including CSM

#

If you run a chaos terminator squad, you cannot give each a powerfist/chainfist. One goober is going to be out with an accursed weapon

compact umbra
#

thats weird,

#

i havent seen teh accursed waepon stats yet actually

#

wow!

it sure is a stat block

#

i was honestly expecting alot more from something called accursed weapons

elfin yew
#

Theyre ok, theyre just the 'default' cheapo option since every unit they come on has a better upgrade

compact umbra
#

quick question

So if i play BL and get the fallen angels specialist detachment, do fallen angels get a free artifact or would getting their artifact count as a second artifact

so I'm trying to make a real equivalent to a imperial guard regiment kind of making it home brew with a few altering aspects and such

in short my regiment is going to be a Light Line cadian infantry regiment. I was curious what transport should i make to be my standard, the taurox or the chimera? I understand that the chimera is the standard across multiple regiments, but every regiment is also different such as is mine. I just want to see what people lean towards I guess? I personally like the taurox a bit more compared to the chimera but I want this to be practical; like it could be legit used within real battles in a Warhammer universe as well as tabletop.

Any feedback is helpful!

#

Do they have the same capacity? If so, I would be leaning more towards the taurox, simply from an aesthetics point of view, because the chimera looks similar to other tanks, and the taurox looks like a troop carrier. Both vehicles cost the same irl, so that shouldn't be a factor. I can't comment on their tabletop performance though, not a guard player.

brisk vapor
#

Taurox are faster but weaker and more expensive

#

Chimera has a capacity of 12 and Taurox 10

#

I'd probably go with Chimeras

#

or have chimeras as the basic troop transports and taurox for some more elite units or leaders

#

because Taurox do look quite cool

marble sorrel
#

i think ill do the opposite and have the chimera be a special transport for heavy weapons and such and have my taurox be standard infantry and such. im still on the fence about it but i see what you mean by specializing it. Only issue i currently dont have any SF the closest i have are veterans.

#

both look quite cool

#

but idk if i want a armored car or an APC as my primary transport

ye that's one of the reasons I didn't go with them, their legion specific models are pretty lacking

I'll probably get a separate NL detachment later on with the named character models

heady lotus
#

Yeah I'm painting nl rn and I'm going to use transfers...... personally not a fan of the mk6 kit but hopefully they will release some NL stuff soon or if I can find a really good 3d printer. Some of the bits on FW are a bit ridiculously priced for how little you get..... but I'd love to mix up some of the helmets and weapons.

Gave some mk6 marines some mk3 helmets instead which works.

brisk vapor
#

good thing the MKVI body works wonders with some separate heads and shoulders you can get

#

3rd party or gw alike

heady lotus
#

I did get some 3rd party shoulder pads but I don't think they to the best scale..... but I heard good things about the new transfers so gonna use them.

#

I think maybe once I'm done with these 20 mk6 marines, 4 drop pods, lev dred and cont dred ill have a look at getting some bits to make raptors/terror squads

hardy pollen
#

i had a friend print my helmets and pads, considering how cheap it is to make bits you'd find fair enough pricing for free lance 3d printer shops

#

Old photo but the helmets i love

heady lotus
#

Yeah.... also ew chaos xD

Yeah its really weapons and helmets I think I need to go after to give it more nostroman flavour

hardy pollen

not too worried about since after all it'd be pretty easy to cut off the chainswords they have and pin a new chainglaive in

The lore for my homebrew Knight House is that during the Heresy, the patriarch of House Vitallus was near death during battle against House Korvax, only for the Aquilan Shield to intervene. Ever since, House Vitallus has opted to paint their knights in the iconic gold and red color scheme of the Custodes, and answer whenever they call. Basically a house of Custodes simps.

Khazalid is known widely as the secretive high language of the Dwarfs. They seldom speak this ancient tongue before other peoples, deeming outsiders unworthy to hear it. Dwarfs naturally have loud, rumbling voices, and when they speak Khazalid, their speech is like thunder rolling amidst the mountains or the scraping of rock against rock. It is ...
