I think so and yeee
Auxillaries are in a rough state
I've been told Vespids have some uses but they still look poo
GIMM
There's such a distinct image in my head
Why isn't it real
Imagining just. Virgin imperial psyker, normal human, vs the Chad floating quilled telekinetic space bear that's probs the size of a tank
Consider: a psychic attack that just allows you to push entire units like 1d3 inches in any direction or smthn
If i ever will start playing TT having a ranged army with which i only have to care about one phase would be my dream army... IDK anything about the current situation of TT, but i don't see the problem with tau doing damage in only one phase
Well the issue with Tau is more like its boring to play and face
Like the taus have good shooting and will destroy everything they shoot at + they have some stratagems that punish charging or just units with so scary firepower overwatch shot would destroy 75% of your unit
So it is a subjective thing... I mean, if that is how GW want them then it may be wise to change army already...
However, if you face another shooty army, Tau will likely win because they have this finnicky thing called shield drones
Amazing! Do IG or Ad. Mech. have anything similar?
👀
Well the issue is that Tau is sold as an army that relies on its auxilaries to fill their holes
Aka your taus are good at shooting but they use kroots in melee for example
Thing is, those auxis are so bad that they aren't worth picking
Aah, i see, then it is lacking a huge part of its identity... But then it would need decreased ranged capability for balance i think
No, Both Ad Mech and IG have different mechanics and make them different / more exciting to play
Well not really Blank because if they field kroots, they field less crisis suits, so less firepower
Ok, but if i want to make a ranged focused army are they viable? Like screw melee and psychic stuff and maybe even vehicles... Just pure glorious ranged infantry...
But essentially, playing tau isn't nice because they force both the player and their adversary to play shooting only, which is annoying for melee focused armies
You can win with infantry only, one of the winning tournament team is an IG army with 150 infantry models
And Ad.Mech is the best shooting army bar none
Good, that is what i wanted to know, thanks
With them being wacky with their Lituanies and having some flexibility in their unit choice
Playing Admech is fun
And they aren't that horrible to play against because they do'nt have the Tau policy of "NUhuh your shots are useless because shield drone"
I can imagine... Stygies would be the forge world i would use... If i understood right the few rules i saw about them
AdMech players have a 0cp stratagem that automatically makes their vehicule explode
And the players WILL use it
That sounds fun
And litunaies have that weird, you get a buff and debuff , going on
Also randomness
But controlled randomness
Eeww, randomness is bad
So its not frustrating
I was actually thinking of going Admech for my second army even if they are so similar to IG
Because, they just look fun and viable
But anyway, thank you very much for all these info, IDK if i will ever play TT, but knowing stuff is always good
There is a whole discord server that uses Tabletop Simulator for those games
It could be a good way to try things out
They also have links to all pdfs
I too use tabletop sim to play some games like that, to try out many lists that I make, and my AdMech lists normally revolve around Skitarii Vanguards with Plasma, Arc pistol and maul, with Kataphron destroyers with more plasma, Kastellans and Datasmiths
While playing as Ryza
Good ol Kataphrons
Yee the design choices are weird with Tau in terms of gameplay. Considerint how CoolFactor melee battlesuits could be
I mean, Farsight's model is awesome already
+they could totally fill a niche I dont think 40k really has which is rock em sock em robot
Except maybe like eldar titans(?) But im unsure
In like a more pacific rim/sleek style I suppose
Idk fusion blades are just cool. I wish we could actually field them
O well. Theres KT atleast
Anyone here familiar with tabletop? I'm wondering if I should take out a malcador annihilator in place if a valdor tank hunter as my like big centerpiece made to cripple enemy big stuff
I know this is late but u shud consider KT if ur interested in ranged and AdMech
Their snipers are amazing in it, much like Pathfinders
Its also alot cheaper and a taste of big 40k
The Malcador Annihilator is pretty fucking good, it has all the great weapons, however its very expensive, fragile enough and shoot on a 4+
Naked right ?
Well people don't field normal leman russes anymore in competitive settings
And the demolisher cannon
But yeah its worth taking
Especially if you play a detail spotter and heavy specialist army
Yea well... it was either gonna use custom tanks that I'm putting together, or I was gonna ally in Kastelan bots
So the whole idea is that I use my AT to blow away the enemies AP then use my 120 infantry to hold all the objectives
Cause they all have flamers
And can fight enemy obsec
If you can allow it, try to fit in a Valkyrie or a Basilisk with full payload
And coupled with your AT it should be good enough to deal with tank threats
Well... I've got a deathstrike with well stocked magazines and a master of ordanance kek
But the list has three tanks, and the custom doctrines to make my stuff as tough to shift as possible
Deathstrike ?
I guess you like risks
3d6 mortal wounds without LOS if it fires
Sure I do
Its my one indulgence on the list tbh
And intend to use 3cp to make it a vortex missile too
Well stocked magazines
its ugly
Well keep in mind Stocked Magazine only works for 1 dice
It is not late, and indeed i would go for KT, i'm all for small squads and precision... And ranged... And Tech stuff... Thanks for the suggestion
Nope
Any number of dice to determine number of shots
3d6
Just double checked
Max nuke. Gotta make sure I double check interaction with the Vortex strategem
Don't worry, they use all fours in next year, I'm sure about it!
Hi
One squad of "Aw Lawd day commin"
One unit of "lizard tiddies"

Hey any news about new codices?
Apart from the schedule until January, no
very nice
i love this sculpt btw
"what wargear are you packing on that hog?"
"b o o k"
Almost done
Completely with wet blended nipples
All praise the tiddy lizard
I tried looking up tutorials on wet blending nips and only found a blogpost from 2009 from some obscure wargaming forum and got an eye full of THOSE kinda hobbists and their opinions on the "Female"
oh yeah. It's uh
The one thing im glad for Fantasy going away was most of THOSE guys left the hobby afterwards
people can do whatever models they want however they want but i see stuff like that and i just oh man 60% chance they're a chauvinist aren't they
Yeeah the That Guy Crowd set fire to their miniatures in the Purge™️
some hobbyists may find themselves a little.... lonely.... so they act irrational
oh man i remember that
Literally
WAT
They threw pee pisser tantrums and posted videos of them burning their armies
bleh
fucking cringe
fragile
I would kill to get my hands on old WHFB empire models for dnd
The City o fsigma rmodels
recycle!
are old empire models
LOL yeah
Unless u mean
meanwhile the real chads didnt burn their minis like little babies and can still use their models in aos lmoa
REALLY old empire models
Hey it's fair to be annoyed over fantasy getting yeeted, i have a friend with this GIANT TK army that deadass was rendered totally useless real quickly, but yeah
I am aware but not all of them made it
Tru
lmao
Lol
tomb kings can at least be repurposed as regular undead or ossiarch now
I really hate how named character models are generic lords now
the old vampire models are so cool
the best part is
their fucking names
are in the LINK
LOL
ARE STILL IN THE URLS YEP
rip
plus like?? with some things just
Issabella von carstein is now "vampire lord"
Mannfred's old model is still for sale as just a generic vampir elord but he also has his new mortarch model
same with the other carsteins
Games™️Workshop™️Respects™️Lore
wh-
but how does that even-
Highly perturbing. Just discontinue mannchild he deserves it
true injustice is having 2 mannfreds instead of 0
I wish tomb kings did still exist
I wish gelt was alive alive 
skaven.
skaven are still pretty much the same, right?
Basically
Gelt... had a hard life. He deserves the rest...
i was memeing on puddles but yea they're just. unchanged
the stormvermin are cool as fuck
lets not link the warpfire thrower or ratling models
haha
or the rat ogres
I know hes "alive" but if gelt is missing his personality hes just not alive
the little mousies
oh god the rat ogres
literally just mice
rat ogres need to be retired...
I have a SV kit lying around mostly intact somewhere, it still holds up

Holy fuck
Anyone
ANYONE
In this server with a background in video editing
Needs to do somthing with Bardins lines and this fucking episode of peppa pig
You have a moral obligation to do so
absolutely.
A civic duty if you will
I can only do visuals
"i shall now sing a song to keep our spirits up"
Not a sound technician
Damn
We'll get em next time dawri
I will need to find one and force the poor sod to put sounds in my student movie too

It puts the music to the video or else it gets the whip again


we should add asking for Dilara's emotes on the accident list
imagine asking for emotes and not just stealing them
YEEE

I will "gifted" this meme later
Anyone got thoughts on Rapier Laser Destroyers? I'm trying to decide if they are shite or worth including in my list
I'd convert them to be Bullgryn carried laser gatling cannons
🐀 🏴☠️
Normally wouldn't post this kinda thing but it's so good I had to do it
So I think I found something to base a Malcador Infernus conversion on. Get a load of this fuggen beast
That is sick
What's attached on the top? Is that for hooking on to sth?
I am tank illiterate so idk what it might be
It's a T55 with a mig 15 engine in place of the gun lmao
They wanted to use it as a mine sweeper due to the heat and force of the jet engine
It worked somewhat, but didnt catch on
So I figure I'll take or make a tank chassis and mutant weld a flyer engine in place of the gun
Oh I just meant above what looks like the leaf blower part 😅
Oh, no idea bruv
Right? Looks like a rail gun or something
I feel like tanks with jet engines on them is a criminally underused design space
Well I think I might capitalize on that and use it as a malcador infernus
But I'm no tank enthusiast like inquisitor eisenfaust lol
Just dunno what engine to use
I cant find any good shots to determine the size
I just know the vultures is way too big
Unless I use it as a doomhammer tremor cannon
Even then
Lockdown building time anyway
good stuff
I haven't tried putting together scorpius stuff yet, only the uhhh walker dudes
alas kits are expensive
I have the lot from the Necrons VS Adeptus box as well
I got these ages back
uni be like no tiem
You know, this lot?
I still need to put the walkers together
once it loads
it's not a lot
but still
I have the leader, and the squad built, I just need to do the walkers, the other squad and the tank, and then I will start painting
I have never tried painting though
any tips and tricks?
tips for necrons?
do u know the basics of painting or is this from scratch?
yea fair enough
what colour do you want to paint them as?
just brush or airbrush
Last time I did it, I spray painted the bottom in the black stuff
Ahaha no
Avoid information overload, stick to the basics when getting started
Yee
Rattle can black, start simple and watch some YouTube tutorials for what you put on top
So what I used to do, was just use like a couple colours, but then I saw that everyone online used like 15, so now I rarely paint
Paint at your own speed, don't worry about the tryhards
base coat white i would say its easer to darken down for gray then brighten it from black but black and a few layers would work
Might use lighter colours instead then since I only have black
depends on how dark a grey
And I can't get them mailed here
Definitely not white base for an easy time, black makes it so you don't have to fill in recesses and harder to reach spots
(I say this as a masochist that does white primer)
Honestly if I wanted an easy gray, I'd use black primer and then a grey rattle can to help get started
Gray rattle is a spray can right?
It'll look good with metallic painted on top of what's already there
Can't get them mailed
I have to go across to get them manually
I love my airbrush
Can't do that now with covid and all
you just need to make sure you spreay from far away and only a little do swipes
Right
or you will remove all details with rattle
Yeah, it's definitely doable tho, and easy to boot
But not helpful because they can't get it
problem with airguns is i can never recomend them due to the cost to anyone who is not 100% commited
Aight as of rn, I'm going to bed, so I'll check what colours I have tomorrow and see what I want to do with them
Gw contrast paint would be my next suggestion
I have like 1 can of black rattle left over from last time I went across
never used them so i cannot say on contrasts
That sucks man
Vallejo paints all the way
Maybe one of the other model shops has some paints
cheaper better pots and nice range
Send me a DM link cause whatever you post here is gonna get buried
ugh I suck at explaining this stuff, retrying textwall. Alright so the steps of painting any miniature are to prime it first, that's the black stuff you're remembering. There are usually guides on the cans for how to use it, just make sure to shake it for a good 2 minutes beforehand and to spray the model from like 15cm~ away so it doesn't get caked on super badly. There are a number of diff colours for primers, but black should do you fine for this.
After that you move onto base painting. Base paints are very strongly pigmented paints, mechanicus standard grey is a good grey base paint you could use iirc. You use them to go over areas of the model with a single flat colour, in this case that means the big cloaks of your admech skitarii. I didn't bother with base painting any more of my skitarii besides the cloak and the trousers, all the fabric bits.
After that you have all the smaller details. In this case you can try out drybrushing for all the metal bits. Drybrushing will, fair warning, wreck your brush over time so use a dedicated brush for it (doesn't have to be made for it, just use one of your brushes for drybrushing). Get some paint on the end of your brush, in this case something like leadbelcher would do you fine (a kinda dull iron-y metal paint), and then wipe most of the paint off on a piece of paper until it's mostly dry. You can then drag the brush over the metal bits, it'll kinda highlight the edges with little bits of paint. It's a very common technique and it's very easy.
After you've done the fabric and the metal bits the skitarii are mostly done in terms of surface area painted, and i'd honestly not even be antsy about using them on the tabletop.
For some more complicated stuff now. There are a number of little visors on these models, like the eyes and stuff, you can just prod those with a blue or something to give them the glowing effect.
Hitting word count, continuing in a second.
Holy shit
Yee this is the good shit, keep it comin
By holy shit, I mean 
Another important bit is washes. These are super thin watery paints, they're literally as thin as water, designed to seep into all the lil cracks of the model to give them depth. Going over all the metal bits with this would give them a lot of very nice definition, just be careful when using them on flatter surfaces cus they will pool, dry and mess it up pretty badly. When using washes always use less than you need, if you use too little you can go over it again after it's dried, if you use too much it can be kinda annoying to work around.
You can also drybrush other bits besides the metal. As an example, you can use a drybrush to highlight all the edges of the fabric, like the angular bits on the hood and the sides of the cloak fabric; you'd use a light grey for this if you're going for a grey-ish colour scheme. Going over the edges with another paint is called edge highlighting, you don't need to do it with a drybrush but it works well enough.
Usually the order when painting, in summary, is prime > base paint the fabric bits (also includes the backpack, also trousers and the cloak and hood) > drybrush the metal bits generously (gives them a nicer effect than just using metal paint on them more l iberally imo), apply wash (you can apply quite a lot to the metal bits since they're very riveted and not flat, for the flat fabric bits be careful with it- if you want a cleaner look you might not even want to apply wash to the flat fabric bits) and then the last little details, like drybrushing the edges of the fabric bits and doing the lenses and stuff
The mechs will be a little more complicated, i'd recommend doing the skitarii infantry first
That's everything, boop me if you want anything else. It's a v simplistic look but like, i honestly don't personally see reason to make it any more complicated when i'm painting
<3 thank
! oh yeah also make sure to thin your paints. One sec where's the obligatory link
i honestly don't personally see reason to make it any more complicated
+1 on this, dont do more at the expense of making it less fun. I only started to add more complexity when I wanted a bit of a challenge
Oh and if you need any help selecting paints i can help there too. I see vallejo was mentioned, that's definitely a very good brand. Citadel paints, that's the one games workshop runs, are very high quality but they come in these dumbass big open topped containers that result in the paint drying out before you can use all of it if you're not careful. Vallejo comes in dropper bottles, which remove that issue
I bought a 100 count of empty dropper bottles because fuck those pots, p3 uses them too
Yeah. Like, all you need to know to make tabletop quality models is just like. How to prime okay, how to base paint, how to apply a wash and how to drybrush. That's it
plus how to apply lil details obvs
The big key is, even a not great paint job will look great when all your color coordinated dudes are marching together
Safety in numbers hehe
but that's just like, keeping your hand steady enough. Or do what I do and pretend eyes don't exist uwu
^ this is also very noteworthy, especially for infantry. A big formation of uniformly painted models is basically always gonna look good, even if they're super simple by themselves
blobs of inf are ment to look good as a big formation so dont worry to much about them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxWgsqSf74s @forest pier okay found the video, it's very quick but it communicates how to thin paints very nicely. tl;dr model paints start out crazy thick, you need to thin them in water a little to avoid them obscuring the detail and looking all blobby and weird
In this video Duncan goes into detail about how to thin your paint and the reason for doing so.
ofcorse not just throw paint on
Plus one thing people don't talk about is how thick paints scratch off very easily
Honestly you guys are great
It's 1am rn for me, and you being able to answer me in such detail is great
also make a wet palette
Enjoy the spiders and kangaroos
I explain to you what a wet palette is and why it'll improve your miniatures painting like it improved mine. I also show you how to make one for really cheap with materials probably around your home. Note: starting to always use a wet palette was the single-most important technique to improving my painting. If you're not using a wet palette now,...
helps a lot
You honestly don't need wet palettes but yeah they can be useful
they are easy to make
tl;dr take tupperware, put some paper towel in it, soak the paper towel in water until all the water is absorbed, put a lil bit of sheet paper over the paper towel
congrats u can now put paint on the paper and the water seeping into it will kinda keep it wet for way longer
not papper over the top a waxy cooking sheet
I use parchment paper
I also like to put a lid, usually just another sheet of paper, over it when i'm not using it for a long period. I've had it stay wet for like 30 ish hours
ooh that's a good idea actually
Is there a citadel -> Vallejo paint conversion chart? The only ones I've found seem dated
the issue with regular paper is it kinda breaks apart if you're rough with it
yh there is
I've seen some excel docs lying around
yeah you should be able to find one on google, i remember having one
didn't bookmark it tho
Ahh
Parchment paper rolls a bit weird when you first whet it but it works really well imo
nods
Haha none of my friends paint so I'm always feeling starved for mini painting chat
Love this server
hey this is basically what this channel is for
which reminds me i still need to get off my ass and paint that knight
uugh
Ooh a big boi
my Baneblade is just sitting atm
not embarked on that task yet
I'm painting it for my brother, not for playing but just as a display piece. But i'm just ~lazy and anxious about messing up the priming~
I'd be so self-conscious trying to start a project that I'm painting for somebody else haha
God ur telling me abt having stuff to paint
I got like
such a christmas haul of stuff to paint
Soul Wars + like 1.2 k points of Tau
The grey tide stands ever watchful
YE
my paints and models are at my ex's house and we're on lockdown so i don't see myself painting till like
spring
I've got quite a lot of stuff to do
I am eagerly awaiting my prize I won a competition the other day
A luck of the draw one
damn these are nice
Warhammer: Greytide
Never expected to win so I am blown away
oooh nice
But it has meant I have gone into overdrive with guardsmen painting need to get the 40 inf into nice standing I feel now
Oh boy, painting chaffy factions is
an adventure
Chainrasps upon skeletons upon zombies
I was thinking about a vampire army if they return in warhammer fantasy
Lots of inf with fancy deceptive characters
Bit like how my guard army started out
Apparently AoS is set to get a actual vampire faction from the rumors I've heard
Apart from the soulblight LoN and stuff
Were also getting og darkelves
Well we will have to see
Yee the ulgu elves
I also want old dwarfs back really miss the old Clan warriors
Old dwarf warriors still in lore and can be played with cities of sigmar
Much like the like, old delfs too
I fucking hate the two AoS dwarf factions
Theyre just cartoonishly exagerated parodies of the two gods
Are they though I thought they were gone let me check
There are still some karaks standing, but yeah
Very few
Most got owned during age of chaos
Memed on
Became refugees in the dispossessed, or turned to the skies
Lol get chaos'd
It was pretty interesting lorewise imo
Since the dwarfs like, had to break out of their traditionalism to survive
I love the grungi stanning dwarves personally
in the KO
don’t seem any in city’s
poor belegar
YEAH
Yh but I am talking about the clan warriors I know some dwarfs still are around
Do you mean like regular dwarf warriors?
Yes
Gets shafted in the lore AND model wise
yea
the regular warriors don't seem to be on GW anymore
They are LOTR
yess
Interesting
Looks like every dwarf infantry unit except the generic warriors get ported
sad
Yh sad
The way queek gets fucking memed out of exsistence is such a cool moments, thats literally immedately ruined when snitch "shows" up
There is a few others missing but there the ones I miss
The dwarf storyline in endtimes is just bad and sad 
Basically the entire storyline of the end times is bad and sad
Thorgrim deadass just gets snikch'd
hey at least settra apparently had a pretty cool in character story
and uh
Setras story was cool
iirc skarsnik got deadass forgotten at one point.
Yeah skarsnik and some other characters got like
Yup
just forgotten about
like, actually they just forgot
Also Throgg dying and then tha tjust being
forgotten about
and he comes back int he end times
Like actually got forgotten that they exsisted
god bless
Only one dwarf got a good death in the end times and that that runesmith name eludes me
I get that it's a big ass universe with like, too many characters to do reasonable justice to but
how do you just
don't you have like. a blackboard with all the major characters on it in the office
The one who exploded his doom anvil to take everyone out with him
a google doc maybe
It's really funny because it was literally gotrek who killed throgg
way before the end times
Yup
But they just forgot about one of their biggest series I guess
Didn't G&F kinda get unceremoniously yeeted too
Yh
Whats the biggest crime right mow with gotreks story is his new ELGI SIDEKICK
i'm totally just going off my friends who've actually read it
PARDON
I don't think Felix is back
that's a grudge
yea i knew that, the new model is amazing
Gotreks ending and reintroduction is very much kinda like the doomslayer and its cool as fuck
Iirc Gotrek found the only portal to the World-That-Was in the Mortal Realms and destroyed it
gotrek literally is the dwarfen doomslayer so it makes sense
Volkmar, fey and leoncoeur all got sacrificed in random unimportant rituals
what happened to the wood elves?
But the next book, Gitslayer, SHOWS GOTREK WITH SOME LADY ELGI SIDEKICK
In AoS or end times?
Orion got killed by Tyrion
And then like
Malekith (True Phoenix King at the time) brought them into his alliance
Don’t know about Fay but Volkmar was not in that one
The grand elf alliance of the end times
Whats her nuts got forced to marry malakith right?
ohh yeah i remember that, when he was going batshit with the sword of negative public order i think
In AoS, Welfs became one of those weird holdover factions in Cities of Sigmar with Wanderers. I think they're just being completely phased out tho
Since Sylvaneth kinda fill their role now
yeah. And all the tree spirits got their own faction
Tbf there are welf souls in Sylvaneth
Pretty much wood elfs + tree spirits merged by Alarielle
Poor Brit are also gone
which, annoyingly, seems to have a few elven-ish models. I don't get why they felt the need to seperate them
yeah
Merged with elves then vanished
Simp army is no more 
LEAVE THE BRETONNIANS ALONE
THEY'RE NOT SIMPS THEY ARE VERY NOBLE AND PURE
Lol i jest
Might actually come back
She became thicc as we know
CORRECT.
🦵
So thicc
:3
I'm not-gay for her 😏
Im gay for a certain carstein
don't be straight for her either
Seems they are coming back in the new warhammer fantasy as they released a new map of Bret
Lol
now look i'm not saying i'd let not-isabella murder me but
Apparently Gotrek has a khainite assassin companion
Temple of Khaine is aligned with 'Order' in AoS
They're like the 2nd most practiced religion iirc
whew
Also yeah I think Gotrek actually retains all his memories??
did any of the other elven gods make it over or is worship of khaine kinda the only surviving one
I think pretty much every elf god died, most of them at least
Khaine is.. TECHNICALLY dead
He's like fragmented
Most worship of Khaine actually empowers Morathii, confirmed by broken realms I think
Since she like siphons it
shes doing a pretty bad job as a popess
Gotrek retained his memories because he didnt really die like everyone else
what happened to him?
Yeah most of the godlike beings/gods retained their memories
Said "i lile your cut g"
she's the popess to the god of murder, what do you expect
Some more than others tho
was never gonna be a good person
Like, apparently Nagash remembers but it's fuzzy for him
gotrek is absolutely grimnir's overachieving adopted stepson
Thats basically what happens
Wow mandalore wasnt kidding dwarf gods really are spiteful little fuckers
yea i imagine nagash would be more on the immediate FUCKING SIGMAR REEEEE train if he recalled everything that happened
Then he vibed in the literal planes of chaos until they were so sick of him they spat him back out which at that point was the mortal realms
Nagash has no time for old grudges, he is too busy ruining everything in the present
Apparently Gotrek straight up killed a Godbeast in AoS, which for comparison, a single godbeast once entrapped Gorkamorka in mud for awhile
gotrek pls
he has infinite plot armour and i live for it
or, alternatively, a plot axe
One thing I like about AOS is the goblin range is really good now almost tempts me to get a goblin army
the thing that happened to him in end times was just cruel
they're such a fun design
they're just the night goblin faction right?
Felix kinda just died of exposure waiting ina cave while the world exploded
with all the mushrooms and such
WITH SROOMS
Yeah Goblin crackheadedness taken to a new level
sculptors having so much freedom is one of the biggest positives for AoS imo
Ye AoS' aesthetic design is way more free than WHF was
Leave it to the ork god to have a story where they get stuck in mud lmao
i get the vibe that that's largely why they did it. Like, it's wiping the uh
what's the word
thing clean
Ocean of solid amber*
You get what I mean.
Ya WHF kind of just became "What if dude with spear, but skeleton/green/lizard"
Not mud lol
Oh well, same effect
there was still def a lot of diversity in WHF but there def wasn't so much room for like, expansion
outside of the east but
That and most of the time it made zero since for why two armies would be fighting on the tabletop
eh i think it made enough sense. Like, most of the factions don't like eachother, similar vibe to 40k
Like lizards vs knights, wtf why are these two here they would never actually see eachother
My favorite warhammer factions of the east/other human kingdoms, such as.. jaffar of araby 🤔
okay fair point
FHDNFJDN
no dude Settra sailing across the world to pick a fight with franz was super logical
Thats why its now realms
Theres no reach you need to make, armies literally just pop up out of nowhere
meanwhile headass cathay, nippon and ind. ah yes
so original
i cannot imagine-
Ya portals and literally thousands of years of conflicts you can rely on helps a lot that way
Lets not forget the skeletons in gws closet that are the amazons and the pigmies
I don’t like names characters in any of my army’s as I feel that it’s odd that they are there
Remember remember, the pygmies of oldhammer
ever need to explain why two people are fighting, just say "they both wanted a gate" or "nagash did it"
because it's always nagashs fault somehow
Lol nagash did it
Rattle Me Bones
man rattled reality for a while
Yup
Reminds me of the blogposts i was reading yesterday when i was looling for how to wetblend nipples
MY FEELINGS EXACTLY
tag urself I'm Og
80's GW was really Thinking
And all i found where mid 2000s wargamers talking very disgustingly about the amazon models
lmao their old sculpts are bizarre in general
just the design of even the non-insane ones is hilarious
Im Arg
What even did the amazons look like
Nice
They look lile horrid plastic mosters
Glorious.
Lmao
yeah why people are convinced that models, at this scale, can ever be sexualized without just
Lemme see if i can find that blogpost
All those old models are so funny
being horrific
Oh they can
Look at etsy
don't get me wrong objectification is already rife with those types of models, if not actually inherent, but cmon
Oh yeah they can get pretty good now
still not my thing but i'm not gonna judge. but like, old models that tried it
My inquisitor only terminator armour
Okay look. Sexualized models are like, fair enough, but WHY would you sexualize smthn like that
Imagine playing against just a dude who's tau army has all their tiddies out
thats all i think when i see that stuff lol
if you wanna have some metal/resin/plastic tiddy on your shelf then go ahead but WHY would you EVER think ah yes this tau army is looking pretty good but i think it's missing some tiddy
there's no reason, at all, to do that beyond you're a horny bastard
and not even a tasteful horny bastard
Yup
yea but i'm still gonna judge
Lemme find that blogpost so you can all suffer with me
fiercely
there were people who dedicated their whole lives to drawing medieval tiddy, at least tau are exotic looking
playing as male soldiers is a lot cooler too
steam forums leaking
uh oh
listen I'm not sexist I just fucking hate women being in anything I have to see, ever, you know?
Comrades in arms against the forces of chaos, the rank and file soldier from cadia to Krieg
all hail the emperor of man
Fellas is it really wrong to froth at the mouth at the idea of feeeemales in my vidja
the word females has been so ruined for me
I just wanna play as a guy because I’m a guy
Same
same with males actually, but that's on account of the weird femdom people i somehow ran into a few times
I think the soldiers are cool and all
Cant find it damn
I think being a regular ol imperial guardsman is cool I’m not trying to offend anyone
What did i miss owo
there are gal guardsmen
I wish the guardsmen line was a mix tbh
That’s true
We are discussing hating women, but politely
Thank u
The imperial tithe doesnt discriminate on gender
Im a woman and i hate women too
But I want the option to be a guy as well
🤔
Also jesus christ this again
This is the large brain move
THERES MALE AND FEMALE CHARACTERS
All must serve 
Nobody is forcing you to play a chick
I am

and that's a bad thing
Into the force femme chamber with you
** o W O**
games should only ever exist as coomerbait or ram ranch in space
But if representation is the goal then it ok
Sounds like a stormcast eternal chamber
THE MAID DRESS AND CAT EARS. PUT THEM ON. NOW.
YOU'RE GOING INTO THE FORCE LIGHTNING CHAMBER
god imagine being a stormcast
True
go die somewhere against the empire's enemies
spend your whole mortal life doing heroic shit and fighting for the common good
WOOP WOOP
I noticed people using the term gender bend when referring to playing as a female character which I feel makes no sense
finally get noticed by sigmar, undergo hundreds of years of agonising transformation
me and my buds wanna play as a cool squad of guards
And you will bro
I associate "genderbending" with like, rule 63'ing characters
only to wake up and find out your junk has been replaced with a lightning recharge port
also i get that "brotherhood" is a thing
Usb port cock
What is gender, I am the representation of Sigmar's fury.
but still
If so that would be cool
The weird reforging dementia is the only relief from the agony of such a thing
The priest is the best character and I will stand on this hill till the last
same
the priest is cool
mega highschool flashbacks
I wanna play as those guys ^^^^
Those guys look cool
Fr
Isnt the captain a woman tho?
Idk
Cadian guardsmen would be amazing to play as
We already have a cadian looking guardsman
The ogryn and the recon guy are the only males atm
or a penal regiment
two if you count the woman too
Tru tru
if you would~
Yh 5 min I feel
Me too
God i hope we get an ork freeboota 

It’s a good system that lets all have a choice even the last
Does it count if i can lay eggs inside people?

Send in the forward assets

Roger Roger
Lol get roger dodger'd
Never understand how people don’t think Darktide looks unique
It has a Ogryn
No mo
what does that even mean
All fps games are clearly just call of duty clones
ofc
lol mood
lmao okay so
Dude talks like an incel
It’s not like they hid that those 4 were dead
Why is it that these fucks always feel the need to talk in ahum Perfect aristocratic English to encapsulate their intellectual superiority over thee.
I am very smart
It was pretty obvious
What Shadowsun said
smart
That's how i used to type to get good grades in high school english essays
Your brain: Ugly
Wrinkly
Thinks = sad
My brain is floating in weird liquid
smooth soft shiny brains were on display at the capitol today
lmao
Taken by moebius?
Thank goodness he warned them the sound team had forgotten
You overestimate my knowledge of 40k lore
COLORS, SOLVE PUZZLES, DECORARE THE CASTLE, AND...
might as well remind them to not forget that keyboards are a thing
Okay last one i swear
A old silent movie
