That's a big hammer

mortal orchid
#

sorry not sorry

#

*clears throat *

#

Hammer time

near jungle
#

its also an axe Smug

#

one side a hammer, other side an axe

mortal orchid
#

sounds like an Ofertel tool

#

The xenos armor is too though for a hammer?, just rotate the weapon and you get a nice sharp axe that can cut through anything

near jungle
#

exactly!

#

also if youre wondering where her breasts are, its under the armour.

#

Praying for a Deathguard vs Tau boxset at some point

#

Mostly so I can buy both factions that I like fhdhdh

#

Has there ever been a two set that didnt include a imperial faction?

spare agate
#

no idea but hope death guard gets a box set

#

got into the hobby some months before dark imperium poffed away so id be happy if i could get some death guard equivlant of a start collecting box

elfin yew
#

God but yeah. From general consensus I understans abt Tau tt(having chatted with friends who play and such)

#

They have a Norsca sort of situation

#

Where everything isnt too good for 9th but the riptide is still stupid strong

#

Ex)norscan mammoths in TWW

edgy cipher
#

Taus are one of the most boring factions to fight

elfin yew
#

Yeeah that too

edgy cipher
#

With Death Guards in my opinion

elfin yew
#

I can see that. Deathguard are slow right?

edgy cipher
#

Yeah, slow but tanky midrange army

elfin yew
#

Yee god

#

I can imagime that being hell. Boxset would only make sense fluffwise rlly

edgy cipher
#

The games are mostly : do you have enough firepower to destroy half his army in 2 rounds of shooting ?

#

Because they are horrible to fight in melee, especially when you combine with that their psyker powers

elfin yew
#

Yerp

#

I do hope we get melee battlesuits/psyker aux and just shift Tau playstyle in general

#

We shall c with coming codex

#

Itd be neat fluffwise to see more independant AI units/stuff

#

Drones are already autonomous to a degree

edgy cipher
#

That'd be interesting

#

Unless they are as aggravating as shield drones

elfin yew
#

Yee I moreso meant actual combat stuff

#

Like

edgy cipher
#

I meant in the rules

elfin yew
#

Oh yeah

#

I think Ghostkeels are already partially AI controlled for example

edgy cipher
#

Taus do heavily rely on automated machines

#

Break their pointer and shield drones and they are suddenly easier to manage

elfin yew
#

Yeee

#

Honestly I wish we had more separatist factions like the Enclaves. One based around each clan would be pog

#

Like, a earth caste centric one which utilizes AI for its battlesuits instead of fire clan

edgy cipher
#

If you're not space marine, you should be glad if you have atleast one

elfin yew
#

Tru dhshd

edgy cipher
#

As a guard I saw alot of regiments dissapear

elfin yew
#

Oogh

plush swift
#

I wonder if they will replace cadians with something new

edgy cipher
#

They won't

#

It's one of the most bought minis

#

With catachans

#

They would have no insensitive to do that

green cave
#

Krieg si returning IIRC

edgy cipher
#

Unless they are doing a Primaris and replacing all cadians by tempestus

#

You say that yet they lost half of their units to Legends

plush swift
#

I think that if they update guard

elfin yew
#

Non primaris marines now considered IG

#

Fhsbdbs

plush swift
#

I could be wrong, it will be some kinda primaris tempestus

#

stuff

#

cause it seems the stage is being set for that

green cave
#

I think the same

plush swift
#

what with cadia exploding, the slow squatting of the old metal regiments

edgy cipher
#

Yeah but

#

Tempestus suck ass

plush swift
#

ikr

edgy cipher
#

Unless they are creating for them a whole fucking vehicle line

#

Because rn they only brought the Taurox and the Bullgryns with them

#

You're only allowed to pick Valkyries and Taurox Primes

plush swift
#

I think thas whats gonna happen

#

Not like use tempestus as they are now, its gonna be some kinda standardized guard thingy thats better than the old guard or whatev

edgy cipher
#

The only funny thing with Tempestus was running lamban Lions and seeing space marines cry because they were naked

worthy moth
#

oh cool

Bad rules

elfin yew
#

Oh no

#

this fucker is back.

Wait, isn't the guy that had to do a stupidity test else he'd lose himself in his reflection in a puddle ?

crisp forge
#

Sigvald the Twatmificent

elfin yew
#

sdfhundsfuhn

crisp forge
#

aka the guy that got killed by a troll for calling him ugly

#

said troll then pissed on his corpse

edgy cipher
#

Its him !

elfin yew
#

I love the picture of throgg on his mirror that has its eyes burnt out

crisp forge
#

LMAO

#

Thats such a good reference

#

I like how AoS has a guardians of the galaxy vibe with all these reveal trailers btw lol

elfin yew
#

Yessss

#

I love the art style

crisp forge
#

I almost thought that was his dick for a second

elfin yew
#

YEAH

crisp forge
#

LOL

elfin yew
#

Oh man

#

His mini and the scions of slaanesh look great

crisp forge
#

Only complaint

#

they dont have mirror shields like fantasy so sigvald cant check himself out lol

elfin yew
#

sdfuhnsdf

edgy cipher
#

The rule was like he'd catch a glimpse of himself in a puddle of blood and lose his turn

elfin yew
#

I wonder if he has a datasheet yet for AoS

#

Lemme checky

#

Probably not because trailer just today but

#

#

@misty pollen I've been thinning of saving up for a 3d printer to make sculpts, anything you recommend?

misty pollen
#

anycubic resin line its pretty damn good

#

dont buy the one i got its too old, buy some of the new line

near jungle
#

Ok, is there a 3d printer I should buy?

misty pollen
#

right the best one is the Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K

elfin yew
#

All kinds of new stuff today

#

New Drukhari codex confirmed for 2021

misty pollen
#

dang no slaneeshi stuff?

elfin yew
#

Not for 40k

#

For AoS tho yes

misty pollen
#

i was hoping some emperor children new models, clone fulgrim loyalist too

#

lol jk

#

gw will never do that

#

here with his big brother

elfin yew
#

It also seems like GW is making 40k be a actual narrative which moves

#

Which is Good

misty pollen
#

yeah, thats pretty good

#

wow nice models for AoS

elfin yew
#

Yess

#

I love the new aesthetics for Slaanesh

#

Much better than uhhhh put 16 tits on it and call it a day

misty pollen
elfin yew
#

Yeees

misty pollen
#

people think is TITS, SEX, SEX, ASS, TITS!

edgy cipher
#

I still want corrupted Bob Ross as a mini

elfin yew
#

Yep. AoS is getting it right with their direction.

#

oh my

#

We don't make mistakes

#

We make perfect little clouds

misty pollen
#

so tired of the nurgle bois

#

like SO tired

elfin yew
#

They probably will, I think GW's art direction across the board is just getting better

#

40k just has A Lot that needs updating

#

Assuming they update stuff and don't make more primaris marines

#

In terms of Chaos I really think Khorne needs the most attention

#

generic red dudes with spikes

misty pollen
#

im happy they went to the dark space elves stuff

#

they need some love

elfin yew

elfin yew

#

amazing mini that one is

void orchid
#

those luscious locks of hair

misty pollen
#

any of you are tired of the death guard stuff?

edgy cipher
#

not really

elfin yew
#

I like the Deathguard and the Tau Vs Deathguard conflict so no

misty pollen
#

i think the other chaos gods need some love

elfin yew
#

I agree but there's a lot of factions in 40k that need touchups :p

misty pollen
#

a least in 40k

edgy cipher
#

All of em almost

#

Bare Space Marines (alto the blood angels need a new Dante and Sanguinary guards)

#

And necrons

void orchid
#

deathguard are the ultramarines of chaos

elfin yew
#

green is better than blue change my mind

edgy cipher
#

If its not sickly green yes

crisp forge
#

Honestly at least deathguard look badass and have neat models

#

Ultramarines meanwhile are just meh

elfin yew

Yee and also they aren't space marines

ill have to try that masking fluid, i hate trying to do anything like that with tape

i tried some brush on latex one time that my wife had for nail art which worked pretty well, but it comes in a tiny bottle and is pricey as hell so it was more just an experiment

Man

#

I really wish the Tau had more battlesuits that were just "bodies with stupid amounts of dakka"

#

Love the Stormsurge model

#

I actually prefer it to the more gundamy sort of look sduhfndfhun

#

Probably why I like the Broadside so much

nova hinge
#

That's why more the Dakka is always good.

swift arch
#

What’s sduhfndfhun?

elfin yew
#

It's uhh, It's just a keysmash

#

idk how else to describe it

nova hinge
#

An "Impression"

elfin yew
#

Its like saying lol but marginally stupider dbsbdhd

crisp forge
#

yeah its like a spasming laugh response

#

i like it and do it a lot too since i find it funny lol

nova hinge
#

Or when you panicked

dusk hill
#

!!! oml i love the stormsurge so much

#

it's easily my fav battlesuit model

elfin yew
#

Yes!!!

dusk hill
#

I like less conventional ones. like, when they look weird and alien and utterly unlike anything from the imperium

elfin yew
#

For me its between it and the broadside

#

Yesss

dusk hill
#

the stealthsuits also have a place in my heart for that reason, they just look odd

#

Same on the broadside

#

the redesign it got was so good

elfin yew
#

Ghostkeels are greatoo omg

#

YES

#

I get the like

#

Heavy weapons feeling from the Broadside

dusk hill
#

same. It looks like mobile anti armour artillery

elfin yew
#

Esp with the rail rifle

dusk hill
#

it communicates its purpose so effectively with just its appearance

elfin yew
#

Yeeus

plush swift
#

Pfff. Using oneshot rocketbays on mobile battlegear, who had a Bad Idea Like this.
Do they have helpers that climb Up and reload them mid Fight?

dusk hill
#

Broadsides aren't necessarily meant to be super mobile, they're more like long range heavy weapon platforms. Crisis suits are the super mobile ones

#

tbh it's not implausible they could just get drones to reload it

elfin yew
#

Yeee, broadsides are one of the few without jumppacks because theyre so chunky

LMAO thats why i just slapped a watermark on that baby- not that i mind, but this was a commission and i'd like it to be known that this character is mine

#

but hey i take it as a compliment, thanks!!

#

i have to say that my favorite part (or one of them) about the eldar is that their clothing remains comparable to how they looked in whf

#

all flowy and mystical n shit

#

with just a touch of modernity (futurism) to make it stand out

cyan basin

I get what you're saying

Yes the black eyes are real

In MY canon

Yeah honestly theres weirder stuff out ther

#

When you can get a craftworld of teenagers that like nothing but riding bikes its plausible

#

saim-hain pls

Their eyes are actually starry

Rather than just black

I tend to paint in the style of Old hammer from the 80s and 90s

I like how old they look, reminds me of the grainy warhammer art of them back in the day

#

YEEE I was about to say

plush swift
#

Tehnolog is the brand

#

They are DIRT CHEAP

And also make amazing terrain

robogear you say...

plush swift
#

||The Ork conversion potential is insane||

crisp forge
#

Send orkpics!

plush swift
#

You look at this and tell me an ork player wouldn't drool over it for conversions

cyan basin
#

Reminds me of old orc dread

plush swift
#

You can buy one for less than 19 dollars on places like souldark

#

Oops

cyan basin
#

In a good way

plush swift
#

Meant to say

#

Less than *9

#

I think this was 5usd

#

When I bought it

#

I got 13 vehicle's for about 80 aud

cyan basin
#

Oh that reminds me of something

#

There is a toy company in my country that does some pseudo-historical vehicles

#

One of their tanks looked EXACTLY like Leman Russ

plush swift
#

And you tell me Ork players wouldn't want one

#

The bulldozer one alone though, put teeth on it

#

Slap a banner on it

#

I have about 14 vehicles from this company sitting unassembled as I don't have any spare bits yet

#

To use for conversions, but when I do.

crisp forge
#

Damn you werent kidding

#

half of these are basically already existing ork vehicles but with treads

plush swift
#

COME ON

#

How could you not?

#

Look at this and tell me this wouldn't make something amazing

#

Needless to say the only thing holding me back from working with what I have are a lack of good conversion bits

The painting!!

spare agate
#

yeah good luck with the painting

lusty frigate
#

thank you lmao

#

i'll need it

#

would it be wise to prime it in the color of the robes so i dont have to get underneath all of the wires?

actually, im thinking the other way around would be easier

#

@lusty frigate holy omnissiah that tech priest looks intimidating af

lusty frigate
#

thank you!! im hoping i can keep that vibe once i paint him!!

near jungle
#

If you give them some sort of glowing eyes or parts with dark colors, itll make them look like a monster

#

@lusty frigate also! Just a suggestion. If you want the tech priest too look more inhumane, give the metal parts a tiny bit of rusting to make them seem ancient and a bit broken down

lusty frigate
#

i was thinking a sorta beige color for the robes, and copper for the metal

#

red glowy parts too

near jungle
#

Oh yeah! That's good!

#

I've always had this idea where the power supply of a tech priest is just a hamster in a wheel

lusty frigate
#

lmao

near jungle
#

Like they just take off the robes and bam, hamster powered tech priest

lusty frigate
#

question, is it a bad idea to have an admech army without any skitarii? i love the look of every unit except infantry lmao

edgy cipher
#

You never know that they are hiding

#

Especially higher ranking ones with their bigass robes

#

Dudes can kickstart ships with their bodies, I wonder how many hamsters wheels are hidden in there

near jungle
#

My friend thinks so too, he just replaced them with servitors I think @lusty frigate

#

When making an army, you have to think of how they will fight

#

My friend made a 500pt army I faced off against that had 0 skitarri, and only tanks, inquisitors, and tech priests

#

It was annoying AF

lusty frigate
#

oh okay

#

yeah i want lots of kastelan bots

edgy cipher
#

They are great and terryfying

near jungle
#

My army is designed to go against infantry and hold position, his army is to tank as much damage and make it a battle of stamina or endurance. What you want to specialize in is how you make your army

lusty frigate
#

especially if i kitbash something like this

edgy cipher
#

On tabletop they have a stratagem where they stick themselves into the ground and then always roll the highest number of shots for their weapons

lusty frigate
#

thats op

near jungle
#

That's 40k

edgy cipher
#

Yeah you can give them 3 gatlings per Kastellan

near jungle
#

If everything is op, nothing is op

edgy cipher
#

Theya re like D6 heavy

lusty frigate
#

i want to specialize in defence and lots of shooting, so that sounds great actually

edgy cipher
#

So you have 3 KAastellans sitting int he middle just doing a fucking overwatch zone

#

Yeah but when you use the stratagem they are blocked for the rest of the game

#

Unlike ..... Fucking Agressors in 8th edition

near jungle
#

Skitarri I think are most specialized in mid range combat

edgy cipher
#

With FUCKING 32 Shots per miniature

#

With a 1 cp stratagem

near jungle
#

That's nothing compared to Khorne berserkers and melee

edgy cipher
#

Something you could take in squads of 5

#

Yeah but the berserkers need to get into melee

near jungle
#

I saw someone's army and if they all do melee, it's over 400 roles

edgy cipher
#

Agressors were by themselves a 48" walking death machine

#

Maybe an Ork army

#

Since, when they roll a 6 that's an addiotonnal hit wether its shooting or melee

elfin yew
#

god, buckets of dice memes are funny

edgy cipher
#

I get almsot the same thing with IG

elfin yew
#

There's a spell in AoS, Danse Macabre, that can get groups of 40 skeletons into 100s of attacks

edgy cipher
#

30 Conscripts each shooting 4 shots

near jungle
#

Jeez

edgy cipher
#

That's 120 shots

#

They are weak as fuck

#

But you are bound to hit something

near jungle
#

It's like tom Hanks pistol against the tank

lusty frigate
#

idea, instead of skitarii i can use iron hands

near jungle
#

What upsets me the most is that gw hasn't made angry marines official yet

lusty frigate
#

Literally too angry for Khorne

mortal orchid
#

i mean, which parts are you gonna cut specifically?

lusty frigate
#

i'll just keep the turbine looking things

mortal orchid
#

the verical thing and the horizontal tail is gonna go too?

edgy cipher
#

I mean, the Mechanicus is all about weird designs

#

Its what makes it unique

mortal orchid
#

and love for toasters

#

without those things at the end of the thrusters of course

lusty frigate
#

i dunno, i might add some fins to it if i can

mortal orchid
#

alright, but i aprove your changes in cutting those, send a picture when you finish to see how it ended, it got me interested.

crisp forge
#

@lusty frigate Actually

#

40k has another version of the two-turbine jetpacks

#

the 30K marines had them as their assault marines

#

Naturally though theirs are much bulkier

I feel like dwarves have to have sexy looking weapons cause they are miners and craftsmen

#

Also this is me personally but I think dwarves are a separate race while dwarfs are people who have dwarfism

crisp forge
#

Yeah thats not a bad description actually

void orchid
#

It's kinda like they are, on the whole, obsessive compulsive

#

All of their major creations are these giant, sprawling spaces with everything being stylized with crisp, impossibly clean lines, they are obsessed with the implications of even the most minor of changes to their weapons or tech, and when they party, they party hard to get a release from all of that crazy focus they've maintained throughout the days

#

And like you said, everything is ornate as hell because they spend all day working with the tools of their trade

@dusk hill Shas'la, do you play the tabletop?

#

Or paint

dusk hill
#

Only a bit, have played a lil bit of KT

elfin yew
#

Ahh alrighty, well I'll just ask for opinion then

#

I'm getting 2 of the start collecting Tau boxes, what do you think I should add on to wrap it up? I'm thinking either like, Broadsides or a Riptide

#

Or a breacher team + with a devilfish to go with

dusk hill
#

What's in a start collecting box again? Isn't it like, a crisis team + a fire warrior squad + an ethereal and some drones?

elfin yew
#

I personally don't like the Riptide soo much but I have heard that they're basically carrying the Tau rn, if I ever intend to play TT

#

That's right yee

dusk hill
#

My understanding of the cheesy playstyle with riptides is you basically just stack innumerable shield drones around them and attrition gunline ur enemy to death

elfin yew
#

Yeeeah that sounds kinda boring to me

dusk hill
#

Yea it is

elfin yew
#

But I did find one p cheap so I'm unsure if I NEED one, u kno what I mean?

#

If I'll do fine at a casual level without them I'll gladly NOT use them

#

I don't really lke their look either tbh

dusk hill
#

Oh yeah you'll do fine without it, especially if ur opponent is on the same page. Like, there's a big difference between super competitive lists and just fun fluffy ones, one going up against the other is never fun

elfin yew
#

Alrighty cool cool

dusk hill
#

I'd go with broadsides personally. They look amazing + they provide a v long range anti armour option

elfin yew
#

U righ tu right

dusk hill
#

Outside of sticking fusion blasters on the crisis suits you don't really have any strong anti tank stuff

elfin yew
#

Should I get 1 or 2? Thinking about getting one and then a devilfish + using one of my FW collecting boxes as Breachers

#

Since I think the Collecting box comes with breacher heads and stuff

edgy cipher
#

Problemis that playing Tau is boring

#

You only shoot

dusk hill
#

That kinda depends, how do you wanna use your regular fire warriors? Like, as a static-ish gunline all stacking firepower or do you wanna split them into a bunch of smol squads to go after objectives while your other components do the heavy lifting

elfin yew
#

I was thinking smol squads

dusk hill
#

If it's the latter I'd say go for it with the breachers yea. It might not be optimal, you need to be very very close with breachers to get much value and that can be crazy risky against melee armies, but who doesn't love shotgun tau

elfin yew
#

Exactly

#

Should I run FSE for shotgun Tau? Or is there a better sept option

dusk hill
#

Plus for objectives it's pretty likely you have to get up close to them in buildings and stuff anyways

elfin yew
#

And yees, like, I really love Breachers both aesthetically and fluffwise

#

Something really funny about people balling up to melee Tau then getting assblasted by pulse shotguns

dusk hill
#

Uh not sure about that one. Iirc t'au is usually accepted as the best Sept if the hitting on 5 on overwatch rule is still a thing, but on lower points games without that many fire warriors in one place you might not get so much value from that

#

What even is the FSEs gimmick again?

elfin yew
#

FSE get rerolls on 1 at close range I think? Was what I was figuring

#

Like within1 2 inches

#

lemme chec

#

1 free markerlight p much

#

So yess

dusk hill
#

Oooh that's pretty good actually

#

Especially if you're gonna spec your crisis suits for close range

elfin yew
#

Yess

#

I was thinking either that or doing like, crisis suits with flamers + Bork'An

#

For the long range flamers

dusk hill
#

Could go for a super aggressive close range army overall. Like, hella breachers, close range crisis suits with flamers and stuff etc for maximum value from the FSE passive

elfin yew
#

Yeess that seems really Neat to me

dusk hill
#

Defo also an option

elfin yew
#

Also Farsight's model SLAPS

#

Its actually pretty decent

#

Also that 3+ invul do be nasty

dusk hill
#

One thing I would also recommend in the absence of any like, heavy hitting broadsides or whatever is making a squad of crisis suits dedicated armour killers. Like, 2 or 3 fusion blasters each

#

It sounds hilariously funny to just ominously loom an armour nuke over your opponents head lol

elfin yew
#

dusk hill
#

you have a baneblade now but if I can successfully jetpack these bois in-

edgy cipher
#

If the guy you fight pulls out a Baneblade, you know he is meming

Would probs also just like. Boring stuff but you would also want some pathfinders for the free markerlights, unless there are easier ways to get those now

to keep it short, they are a farseer who was taken from a craftworld that got stuck in a warp portal just after leaving their maiden world (b4 slaanesh ripped ass through the universe)

they were discovered by a band of corsairs that came to an old warp portal exit due to a disturbance caused by the ancient ship exiting the portal, one of the only ones who was preserved all that time, as a child no less.

taken back to the original craftworld of one of the corsairs and raised there as a farseer who has an exceptional connection to the warp, even amongst eldar, due to their exposure

yea that's defo an option, i wanna make it pretty diverse. Like, a bunch of different species

elfin yew

Ooo yess

dusk hill
#

including hella gue'vesa, the idea being that this is pretty deep in imperial space and they recruit as they go along

elfin yew
#

I'm thinking about buying one of those IG flagbearer models and painting a sept flag on it or sm thing

#

Gue'Vesa kitbashes look rlly cool to me

dusk hill
#

Like. By my perception there are kinda three tiers to Tau space. There's the actual empire itself, then there are the planets that are under immediate tau influence/are currently being conquested or assimilated by the tau, and then there are the most distant imperial planets that are only just starting on the process of assimilation and acclimation to the tau

#

these guys would be operating in the third, really far away from the main empire

elfin yew
#

Yee that's how I've always figured it too. Esp now with the Startide Nexus expansion area

dusk hill
#

Yea!

#

I've seen some really good gue'vesa kitbashes, i think just cadian bodies + breacher heads and arms would be good for me

elfin yew
#

Yeeeeess

dusk hill
#

Plus maybe tau shoulderpads on one arm, the lil ones the breachers have wouldn't be too out of place

elfin yew
#

Yee they're pretty to scale I thinky

ye. The really big ones the fire warriors have on the other arm might be a little too big and angular

Random thing to say, but if all humans are sterilised how are Guardsmen made? Are they grown too?
If a Tau and Human did it would they make a Tau-Human Hybrid?
