heck tehnically you could get multiple shades with the same color
it can still look good
damn those are pretty
Motherfucker’s so obsessed with fortifications that he has a fort on his shoulder.
I always wondered how Dorn would pierce one of Big E’s eyesockets while carrying him to the throne, now I see.
“Brother, I wish to pet this creature.”
It would be "VERY" different if the "creature" was an Eldar
fuck the elf
Jiggly...
insert into elf
NO

INVEST IN GAMESTOP AND NOKIA
no
got two more Squat Exosuits made... just waiting on the mauls and shields now!
Oh yeah i got the NSFW versions lol
will admit its pretty tame, Dark Reapers should be at least a bit buff

this doesn't look like a 3+...
that's actually really well done holy moly
I find it just right for eldar, they should be s lim and sinewy
Didn't know you had FE emote Dilara
She must be contained then
:3
also yeah this guy did a pinup calendar for some famous I.G regiments a few months ago
Cant post it here because underwear but heres Miss Mordian as an exampe
In last days the Mordians have attracted my attention... Mostly because they really seems prussian inspired
I know right
hasn't that calendar series been going on for ages now?
at least a year 
Atlantis... Amazing animation

Also sadly no
funny since he even did one of the most obscure regiments like Midgardia but no Praetorians
;-;
What? That can interest a commissar here
Also i din't knew that Midgardian PDF had some images that can be used as inspiration
👀
So this guy does pinups
I almost want to print it one and stick it on the side of my valkyries
Yeah like that
Uhm... Not really what i was expecting from something midgardian... It also feel weird
im obviously not posting the full pic to abide by the rules so lol
This is the only thing i found looking for midgardian PDFs... It is homebrew though
I should do a pinup shoot 
Getting horny in here
They aren't really IG, they are under the "command" of the space wolves IIRC
From one of the worlds of the fenris system yeah
But their world got destroyed by magnus
Rip
Space Wolves have a PDF running the Fang with em yeah
they only get mentioned in one book where the Thousand Boyz siege Fenris
but they are there
Yes, those are the kaerls, which are also the chapter's serfs
I should get this miniature
Nope, someone else
ill get their names
Oh hah i was wrong, sorry I just remembered their names as something longer and more norse'ish
NP Mistress

we've established Dilara is the Mistress of Memes and Emotes
She is the Meme-Mistress... I'm thinking of bestowing on her also the title of Emote-Bearer
I knew about the meme mistress but i rarely saw that title being used
I started using it recently
it's my official headcanon
the server lore is sacred, after all, and must be preserved
I didn't vote for you
So we just grab power then?
you overthrow then grab power
WHICH ONE O' YA GITS DO I GUDDA KRUMP?!
not me i'm going to clean the latrine. Lohner told me to do so
Huzzah! My vocabulary spreads!
CHUNKY FIENDS
pretty chunky boys
Anybody here a fan of both Total Warhammer 2's Vampire Coast army AND a fan of the lore of Nagash's newly acquired afterlife of the Brine God's Drowned Dead, an entire ocean of zombified sailors and suicides by drowning? https://youtu.be/WVkD4lgXTEU

Finally
what for?
Krieg medic
For a cosplay?
do you think you need a new breast plate?
after all, no reason to replace something that isn't necessary, unless you plan on replacing everything
Of course, the thing is that the character has a rounded rider plate and i have a squared grenadier plate
hm i think the grenadier armour would work fine for that, though unsure of what the exact precedent is meant to be for krieger stuff
is there a model for it?
yes new cuirass
well
Medics are kept in command squads, so a cuirass makes sense
its based on this art
and if medic hurts, who will heal the others?
my brother gave me a headlight for a car ill use for the surgery lamp
oh, that artist
shush its fine
YES-YES
if the medic hurts the medical servitor fixes them up
Also
the lasgun will have 15% infil for a print
that way i can safely bore tunnels into it for wires while keeping the structure sound and solid
's that enough strong to hanging around with?
yeah
ho...
Its gonna be good
I would go 80% anyways tho
Im buying high power laser diodes so i can use a properly sized battery pack
Using 80% infil gets me a pricetag of 1500 euros
id rather buy a titan for that money
holy shit...
3d printing is expensive
I print half of the gun at my house and the 3d print shop does the other half
im doing small parts here
The tech must developed-improved to cheaper production!
It has been
but material cost is a thing still
for the body, las wells, laspack, clip, stock and butt im paying 150
I'm still waiting for 3D printing the metals
So I can have spring steel suit of armour that has a shape I desier.
this exists already
But not cheap, right?
new gun barrels are printed this way to see how far we can increase fire gas pressure
'ight, reason to live long added
Have you looked at resin printing ? For big project it can sometime be cheaper
fillament, as its called, is pretty fine
the thing is
A plastic printer moves its head
anything you add adds to time the printer cant print something else, this goes for metal printers as well
there is also some filament where there is wood/metal particle in it
A resin printer uses a beam of light on a high power UV screen, so it prints in FULL layers
this means that
If you want to add like, 7 things on a plate, time for the resin printer wont increase
Since it can use those layers, but for a plastic printer, it adds another place it has to go manually
Wow...
Or do it in wood with a CNC machine
Holy...
if i were to add another orb to the resin printer, print time stays the same
It looks almost like a damn magic to me
But, resin prints are, weaker
sad
Its because resin prints often dont have internal solidity
theyre either hollow or thinly walled
Oh... that's the problem
Well yes and jo
No*
a hollow resin print has holes punched into it so you can drain out the leftovers
This is because, if you dont, the model melts from the inside
To me, sturdiness is a most important thing
like having a lightbulb inside chocolate
Oh
then youd want to go for a plastic print, since plastic printers are very good at details nowadays
But, it depends on what you want to get tho
Powder printing is the best for detail iirc
I wish Kruber's maces had those much of flanges...
yeah resin is often done for stuff like, prototypes, dental casts, miniatures
Isn't the stuff Forgeworld does in resin ?
So, if I want a battle ready stuffs. I should go to powder or plastic/steel printers, right?
they print their new models, then make molds to cast them
still hella fragile
depends
...oh...!
some resin is good
Forgeworld chooses to use lower quality
Theres a reason people buy recast
CNC is better for great strength
Battle ready for models or battle ready for real world stuff 👀
Grinding things, right?
A real combat of course
Yup but the object isn't spinning
Hm, yeah CNC
It should endure chopping the fully grown healthy human male bone easily
Lathe is roughly the same, they use it for boring the barrel of guns
male is usually sturdier than fem
I'm an equal opportunist killer
Not just the men but the women and the children too
Only the donk eldar, he should realize the worth of normal eldar cuddles
postal 2 reference?
It may be in there but I've never played it dunno where I heard it before
the model is finished. this is it. there is no more to be done.
stompy boi
!!!! hell yea
i still haven't finished my knight actually heck
it's such a good kit though, really well made
I do the Mechanicus Knight
i think mine is a paladin iirc, don't really have any intention of including it in an army atm
just as a display piece
i rly want to get a knight lancer
i wanna get one of the big boys
the one that's basically a mobile artillery emplacement
it's so big and ugly and brutish and i LOVE it
if i get knights, ill have to heavily modify them
Warbringer Nemesis
It fires Quake Shells
Theyre uh, shells with the condensed exterminatus energy
''The death throes of a planet increase the destructive power of Quake Cannon shells, leading to continent-cracking impacts.''
literally only made with transmuted materials from planets formerly sent in for exterminatus
i love them so much
i wanna get one sometime. but i also want a stormsurge
they retired the cool ones
the stormsurge is the plastic one
the KX139 is the big one
now i need to find powerful but moddable laser pointers
What color filter do i grab tho
Breecher intercessor for a squad of intercessors with breecher shields for my CF finished
been painting some dreadwing
it's a great opportunity to practice my freehanding
baby men
smol
Little Angel
@fresh island awesome always liked the DA 30k scheme
agreed!
hm
im wondering if i should attach a unique las pack for my lasgun or not
i dont think i will because im gonna modify the pack to house the cables for the external power source
Second cataphractii complete over the weekend. Made him nice and muddy he’s been in a brawl 😄
Sometimes it's best to just admit you cant paint, it seems. I feel bad about how I massacred my boy
mek
Just slap some nuln oil over it and drybrush it with silver
Fallout 4's power armour but on a lot of steroids.
if you have a problem keeping your hand steady i suggest more potassium in your diet. alternatively there are hydraulic claws to put on your desk to hold your hand
Kitbashing
True
i have seen some hella epic kitbashes
and hell these ones look so good they look like real forge world minis
Finding and seeing those golds are one of a pure joy.
have you seen the kitbash of an IG guardsmen strapped to an ogryn's chest?
A few perhaps? Not sure.
yes
Back up with Silent Sister and a Custodes boi
XD
do you replace boob flesh with omnissiah approved moveable parts
Yes
@urban harbor I appreciate the compliment on kitbashing, I'm working on a squat army. The one there is a centurion suit bashed with a Greywater Fastness (AOS) Ironbreaker
Gonna run them as bullgryn, just waiting in the mauls and shields to come in, wanted to paint the main body first
Looking at it this morning, it's not that bad tbh, I can get over it
Does anyone think inquisitorial acolytes are likely to get fixed with a new 9th imperial agents codex
I was really looking forward to making an ordos Xenos army but sadly acolytes are just complete garbage now. 9pts for an imperial guardsman (4+ BS, 5+Sv) with a few weapon choices - which just raises the cost further 😦
Hell I’d pay pts for carapace armor just so they’re even semi viable
I have a better idea... Let's buff all the guards! Then the acolyte would still be similar to guards, but they too will be buffed
Yeah I think the only way to do it is to use another army list and then just proxy your men/kitbash them to look inquisitorial
Just sad is all; I hope they buff them - I think they got nerfed hard because of the cheese from tg’s before errata
Buff guard? That's the Catachan
Of course not
Just a sharing the founds
wish I had a skill
Anyway, these sister models are EPIC
I hate them
wanna know why?
I'm a painter
I paint things
I also have shaky hands
that's a disaster waiting to happen
that's way too much trim
Just spray some surfacers and do some Nuln Oil. Done. I'm not gonna touch it more than that
oh sister ravage my bristles
Wtf it's marking my work in progress Magnus as explicit
Get out of my room Fulgrum
not before you give me a nice meaty hug!
I've done enough hugs from Vulkan than you very much
can't a man want a motorboat once in a while? and not for water skiing or or cruising over the lake.
psychic screaming
also some in progress pics of tattoos
still need more ideas but i'm stuck on symbolism as he's a renegade, but not a chaos worshipper per se
Nice work! Where do all his scars come from?
a bigger one with the censor to explain that all
so from top down
the burn was a run-in with an overcharged plasma from the valiant yet doomed last stand of some guardsmen in a dugout
the very straight, regular one on the sternum is from the implantation of the black carapace
the one on the stomach is from a CSM's chainsword and he obtained it while he was still a loyalist
conversely, the one on the inner left thigh is from a loyalist marine's chainsword and he got it as a renegade already
the large, irregular ones on the forearms and hands are from a dark eldar kabalite, back when he was still a scout, that nearly shredded his arms until he made it his hand puppet through a brand new orifice. i think that was his last engagement as a scout.
he has a lot of scars from duels with other renegades and CSMs
the one over the eye is old, it's from an engagement still as a loyalist, also from another heretic
the big ones on the throat are from the attempted termination in the field after his squad had been convicted of heresy, which was obviously unsuccessful in his case
the one that goes under the adam's apple that is
the smaller ones are the standard fare, something fairly large with claws
It's easy to attain masses of scars if you solve disputes with chainsword duels and knives
I really like the idea of just having heaps of text as a tattoo
Wow hes lucky he never got disemboweled or worse.
He almosg did with the chainsword but an apothecary was near
So I've been having arthritic joint pain in my left hand (from typing at work) and my doctor gave me a compression glove for it
Now I have the Magic Pain Glove
Honestly, that looks pretty snazzy
Oh it's helped alot
Helpful and fashionable? Incredible
My techpriest (actually a princeps) is proceeding nicely
Also holy fuck you notice the flaws a lot more when on a photo compared to on the model 
yeah it seems the recesses are lighter?
Haven’t put on a wash yet so that should solve it
I’m just putting that off because it’s hard to make changes afterwards
conduct the necessary psalms
Good advice
besides that, brighter primer paints makes recesses a little hard to work on
yeah maybe wash may help, maybe concentrate washes in the recesses a little more
may omnissiah guide your servos
im experimenting with black primer with topdown spray of grey to make it appear to have shadows on the body, might not be too harsh working on recess and edges
but have to try not to paint flat colors, have to make the colors a little translucent to reflect the light and dark underneathe, so either apply multitude of wash colors or very thin paints
spess vampire
do you mind if I just cuts glass with vampire's face
glorious hawkboy's glorious geneseed demands it
I definitely appreciate how sharp all your art is
thank you incan
i feel like i've gotten a lot better at portraiture and human bodies if nothing else
yeah, it's pretty neat
I mean I obviously love it all 
I feel like, if your characters opened their eyes fully, they would be about halfway to being from an old anime that is way too detailed
which is to say, you're art is very cool and detailed
with really big eyes
most people don't tend to go around with their eyes open round, to be perfectly fair lol
but i think i managed to preserve the resemblance, tho it's hard without the hair
yeah, looks about right
spooky still
with the big red eyes
also the smile
that is creepy
he will literally eat you. it should be creepy.
well, good for him
he'll get some nutrients from my bones, I guess
and maybe organs
Don't forget your acids!
yum, organs...
He looks happy :)
Even a bit goofy id say
Dunno, the big bright color eyes with the small smile makes him look goofy to me
Considering thats the entire style of the comic id say its perfect
pretty much looks like concept/sketch art you'd see at the end of an actual issue
ayoooo thanks
i WISH i had at least an ounce of ledroit's skill
kinda small mouths are just a stylistic choice, probably partly based on personal experience as i can just about eat a macs burger without taking the top bun off and no more than that
yeah, I have no idea how people open their jaws like a snake and eat things like that
you'd think they could unhinge the damn things
Alas we cant all make nightmarish landscapes that would make 40k cry tears of jealousy
also tbh the stuff people do with their bodies surprises me every day
cue the contortionist montage
no thanks, I'm good without seeing contortionists
aka rubber mannequins, because there is NO WAY humans can do that
you pretty much expect to hear the crack of bones at any moment
so agreed, no thanks
such 40k vibes
Kinda off topic but kinda not at the same time but holy shit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrodysplasia_ossificans_progressiva

Exactly
the vampires kind of look like they have assassin armor with some space marine elements now that i look at it
it's what I do :^)
mad legacy of kain vibes
tbf that pic is a bit brighter than requiem tends to be
Reject flesh. Only bones.
Reject muscles. Only bones.
I'm uncomfortable
you should be
leaked image of @hasty sorrel
naked????
someone found his onlyfans
simps, smh
Yeah!
Seems like people have a bone to pick with you @hasty sorrel
badum tss
They are thirsting after you
i hate it
Even in death you cannot escape horny people
I didn't even mean it that way 
i cant believe you've done this incan
no matter where I go the curse follows 
Such is the destiny of those branded by the curse of hollowing

False, I just pointed out that Tots was naked, we didn't even say anything
it's all bone anyways, that's not exactly the most appealing
The quarantine has put people in peak horny mode, we'll take anything at this point.
you mean you wouldn't bone it?
Well done. No, I would not.
I guess this doesn't awake the boner
Probably bad for cuddling as well, it'd be too boney
well call me a dog because to me it just screams bone appetit
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
that was terrible
that was bad
i loved it tho
that was the worst
🦴
Good pun
Im happy incan wasnt here to see it
The worth of a pun is only equivalent to how cringy it is
Why, he would've loved it

Dah crusader
@proud gorge i'm in need of punitive measures for word crimes
Don't, she will enjoy it
I'm so proud of you
at least someone is
Would making an emperors children army that has black armor with dark purple trim be allowed? If not is there a chaos faction that is closer to that color scheme?
can't you make your own EC warband?
i mean, chaos organization is pretty... chaotic lol
I could I was just wondering something already existed.
ah, if so i dunno, i'm not very well versed in warbands
 actually yeah isn’t the emperor’s children especially disorganized?
They are broken into many small orgies if you will.
Ah well I guess it’s time to get noisy.
Some heresy BA
Looks painfull
Anyone want to see an ogre my father made out of an Incredible Hulk heroclix?
I forget he made two.
The weapons are mostly toothpicks if I recall correctly. The pouch one of them has actually had two heads in it.
Blood angel, i headcannon marines have different builds depending on geneseed
Well some SM are rather different, I've heard of a very small Imperial Fist that was as tall as some Imperial Guards
Gotta ask some help. I bought this monolith relatively cheap (40€). It was built pretty badly so I reassembled it. Now I want to paint it, but the previous owner had glued every gauss rods and other greenies on this thing. How should I approach this problem?
And those three roof thingies can be taken off, no worries about them
Painter Tape ? Put it on all the green bits and then paint the rest ?
Do they sell painter tape that small?
you can get really thing tape
Just cut it into smaller size
Use a wood board and a exacto knife and cut small part that you can put on the bits
You did good, Dad
Well, off to buy some tape then~
very nice
Yup. And there are outliers like the fat space wolf that could throw thunder hammers or tyberos who's the size of a truck. Marines come in many shapes and sizes as long as they are buff as fuck.
I mean in the end, as long as they are able to do their super soldier job efficiently
When you look at sanguinius or fulgrim they weren't exactly built like brick shithouses so I'd assume their marines are similar
And ofc even with geneseed different bodies react differently to building muscle and storing fat
Now I'm curious about the Iron Hands boys
Yup saw it. He's a fucking snack and I'm starving.
wow
Since Ferrus was a pretty big dude, that's a waste of turning half immortal flesh into machine
I'd massacre that ass like istvaan iii
that is some horni
Ofc people would be horndogs about the leader of the Emperor's Children
Aka the guys that fell to Slaneesh
He was possessed, dude
rough
Can we simp for Sanguinius ?
We already do
@crisp forge

Just like Angron and Khorne
Or "Moth guy that isn't Ariel" and Nurgle
LOL
God Mortarion is such a loser
"uwu i hate psykers"
"uwu i hate my dad"
like, shut up jesus
MORTARION IS JESUS???
No.
(joking)
The only way to redeem him is to turn him the avatar of Isha
;D
i wish Big E just let his ass get stabbed by that necromancer in his homeworld
Fulgrim just needed a firmly worded lesson about taking strange swords from conquered planets
With questionably horni snake people
But boy, he really is the only one for whom I'd commit heresy...
Or him being less egoistical and questionning why would the Emperor only speak through a random sword he found from a xeno cult
But that's his whole thing I guess
Since Primarchs are usually limited to up to 3 character traits after 40+ books

Its just an excuse for their game
And even more corporate-y company games do their lore better
Just fill in the gaps and faults with headcanons
Is Ariel the big sister of Zherlum ?
I still think wh40k lore is way more interesting than eg d&d
D&D lore is just weird
The only Ariel I know is the Disney siren
But the books are great
I really wish this wasnt a tabletop game at times tbh
The thing is Liecht is that the dnd lore is seperataed depending of which setting its in
Bruh, When League of Legends does lore better, even write books and makes it free while making better cinematic, you should ask yourself questions
Is this an attack on DnD or on W40k/Wfantasy
Especially when most high fantasy is like, pseudomedieval, but they have no idea what IS medieval, they've seen like, 3 disney movies and some drama from the 90s
bit late on this but its why when i do 40k its a "this is my take" instead of "this is how 40k"
i enjoy the books that just do people in the world, and then do RPGs n stuff to match
its why a lot of my early discussion for darktide was "i want x but expect y"
This is how I've always done with my rpg, same with RT
You kind of have to just to have a coherent world
its actualy been weird seeing darktide do 40k supposedly more like how i view it and less like the memes
agreed, its why i liked whf fantasy aswell
grim, down to earth medeival fantasy is where its at
always one for "power but at a price" things
its actualy thr problem that puts me of most fantasy settings, dnd especially
magic is free with no downside
why wouldnt you be a mage given the choice?
YES GOD SAME
Well in the actual lore of Dnd, there are reasons
But the lore is thrown out of the window for the tabletop games
In my setting you literally have to be born with it and picked up in time before you kill yourself with it
meanwhile whf the winds of magic will screw you
either the magic durectly marking you or tzeentches curse
In Forgotten realm 3.5 to use magic you need to:
-Either have someone in your ancestry with powerful blood : aka a sorcerer
-Be so much of a big brain and have counter years of study just to know the beginning + actually having base talent
- Being born with the ability to feel the weave
Then you end up being a hoe to aristocracy, generals or the church until you've grown into your big boy pants
Look at how I don't include warlorck
and ye i know that zher
Because it was only a supplement
Still the fact you can learn it and it's not an eldritch, horrifying life hazard that peasants look at with terror is... meh
outside of the fact it isnt risk reward makes it less interesting
theres the fact that balance wise
if your not a mage your nothing
Yeah
Witcher wizards are cool, rare but generally Stronk
<3
<3
warhammer and shadowrun are my bars for how mages should be
I have to clarify that I do in fact like WHF alot
power at a price is the gud shit
U right
not saying u dont jean haha
It's not fun if magic doesn't threaten to explode your body like a grenade in a pinata
Yeeee nah u good
u can like fantasy and aos
im late but i literally got scolded by a person yesterday for saying some agri-worlds in the imperium couldnt be that bad
i love 40k fandoms
uwu
Agriworlders make do
Witcher wizards and whf ones are my bar or point of reference personally. I also like the "magic is super rare" trope
Yep
haha
Reading with comprehension man
you think I am joking?
na i know theres peole like that
see: grey knight simp we had
Well, sometimes? Like abnett
"I TALKED TO THE AUTHOR, HE TOLD ME THIS LORE STUFF WHICH IS 100% CANON"
Erda last year: [appears out of nowhere] Hey im the Primarchs mom hello owo
I can't read and I'm happy to keep it that way
Same
I look at the pictures in my favorite codex and absorb all the information through the imagery
Black library should hire me. The characters would finally say fuck
I would let the tyrannids win

only once per book mind
we keeping this pg 13 for that wider audiance
The disney allocated cuss word
🎵 They would do anything for Biomass, but they wont do thaaaat 🎵
I would just illustrate how being an inquisitor sucks balls and is a lot of paperwork and not much sex
Tyranids win and then it turns out theyre actually a peaceful, loving, democratic society who were just wiping the slate clean
True boyz
but also Onut thats wrong
because this 20 year old horus heresy book contradicts it

they already did
: no
now its siege of terra
And how commissars probably have nervous breakdowns in the latrines marked off limits to the guard when its been 13 months and the siege is still going and they've gained 500 meters of ground
Ah sorry I left my wrinkles at home
trying to destroy the imperium
What?
oh ye so
theres a new faction of "vulpine humanoids"
that fought the imperium post HH
Fucking furries
Hulk Horus
I thought the fact mlp/40k shit exists was bad enough
horus smash?
are those the ones with the Death Stars, or is this a new group?
There's only one thing good about furry aliens
Killing them gives you an even greater sense of satisfaction than the ones that are just gross in the slimy, appendage-y way.
new group but they also have death stars
i think
Brother Hulcus
basically its bad
also inquis what u said with inquis doin paperwork n stuff
honestly
i wish we got more normal inquisitors
or just eisenhorns even
I'll give you my story to read when im done
"hurr hurr inquisitions exterminatus everything"
and its like
thats 1 guy
he got shot for it

MC is an ordo malleus inquisitor that wears no gold in his private life
And he is just
Fed up
So fed up
yi
like
ahhh
40k as a world is so interesting
its got these amazing foundations and groups
but the core lore sucks pp
He's from a desert world originally. Guess where he has to fuck around and dig for artifacts
BEYOND THE ARCTIC CIRCLE THAT'S RIGHT
haha
And his interrogator is always like cmon it's not that baaaaad
do u realy want me to start ranting?
But his interrogator was picked up from the underhive and had her previous mentors offed so now she's trying to stay optimistic. Rainer does not like this boundless optimism.
Yes!
lmao
sounds pretty good
aight gimme a sec
I have a bit of dialogue i can show you if you want
ye feel free inquis
Alright dilara so, to keep it brief imma just do a small rant on just imperial life
cause 40k as a whole id be here a while
Basically with 40k in general there is an understanding of the day to day life of most races underlined without everything tacked ontop
The imperium especially it is made clear life varies massively planet to planet
It is used as a very easy writting tool for explaining away why anything can be anywhere
like the only war book being focused around a giant death ray machine
My life is potato
So although its used as a weird tool it does make sense that life and availability is different
its why even though cadian flak is standard, it is not used in all sectors of space
because galactic scale logistics sucks
Ayeee thank you skelly
and yeah it makes sense
but hey lore purists are always gonna ruin the day one way or the other
"THATS NOT IN MAH LORE"
Yeah
its a compounded this
the galaxy is big so anything goes, but people struggle to keep track of that
Like there was a planet that was a fat man
My favorite is the d20 planet
So the general lore for 40k is broad sweeps
guardsmen are week, lasguns are bad that kinda deal
and if you look no deeper than what is needed to push TT models thats true
"Rainer."
"Yes?"
"Have you ever had… Nightmares?"
The inquisitor exhales slowly. "Of what kind?"
"Of a dark age."
He says nothing to that.
"A dark god. Not the-- On second thought, perhaps it isn't a god. But Rainer -- please, trust me, I have done nothing outside of my prerogative. You have been with me for every hour of the past two weeks. Trust me, as I trust you where I had not trusted Quartinus nor any of his agents." Her hands are pale, twisted into each other in tense anticipation. But the daemon-hunter does not admonish her, he neither withdraws, nor begins to scold her for such observations. And Nero's nervous eyes, the ones that otherwise are always calmer than their age would suggest, meet his, searching for a sliver of something that can be understood in the cool grey light.
"Perhaps."
"The world is a maelstrom of black and gold fire and it rages so terribly that we cannot help but be swept away by it. All those souls within it -- all those dead, devoured souls -- burn away in it and stars crumble. It swells as if it was a vast ocean and at once is a thick mire, like tar or like acid, that burns and strips away the skin and the muscle and the veneers of conviction and faith; then I am blinded, but even the blindness races, burns even without eyes and frantically drags me down this horrible current of horrible war in which there is no victory. In that instance, I know there is not any escape to be had from it, but that I will die over and over for every second."
"I am listening."
She shudders. "Then I begin to see… Though it is not truly seeing. A dark and golden god. He burns so brightly that my body cannot bear it. I-- I cannot hear what he says as he grows larger and closer and too vast to encompass with human senses, it's as if he was at once the heavens and the earth and only growing bigger with every ounce of despair. It is not so much that his presence feeds on me, but it bears on me, into me."
A long silence follows.
"Then I wake up."
To her surprise, Rainer reaches out. The lights beneath his skin glow softly in blue. His cold fingers settle on the back of her hand and calm its shaking.
"I do not have all the answers. But neither do these visions, nor any dark gods, Nero. No frightful torrents will burn us up if I can aid it at all. As long as you have faith, the Emperor's light still shines upon you."
Well I'm not reading that
That's your prerogative, then, but you are missing out
That was wild, in a very good way
great writing, @plush swift
Ty
ye thats pretty decent honestly
reading now, mind you I shed 10 years off my life span whenever I use this power
Good stuff. So when's the book coming out?
Yeah tis what I gathered from the read
that dialogue is gud
Pretty decent actually
Why are y'all sayin "Pretty decent"? It's genuinely great
kinda reminds me of the talk about visions in Vermintide
y'know, when they AREN'T dodging the issue
Everyone with their opinion. No need to riot.
I hadn't actually thought about that
Because I have no background in writing so my opinion isn't one that has a good basis to judge anything
the one between saltz and the elf?
aye
Nah, the one where Kruber is naked
Nero is the "emperor's tarot, see 5 minutes into the future, mindrape you" kinda psyker, but she's still young and shit's going downhill fast
a nightmare to be sure
Rainer prefers more direct means of force, like setting the whole block on fire, but he's seen shit go downhill fast in the past, and his fatherly instincts have been awakened.
well I've read it and it was good
I'm glad all of you enjoyed it
The problem I'm tackling now is mainly plot details because there is a general plotline
Ah, details
I know what, roughly, needs to happen, i have some cool scenes in mind, but i have to sort out the connections between this all
yeah, that's relatable
if only it could just write itself, and yet it's also fun to write through it. but that might just be me
i have fun writing through it when i know what should happen
the hard part, for me, is figuring out the plot, the events, how it all ties togeteher
I, personally, am great with all the world building and whatnot, but saying what happens and why and in what way is hard
yeah
like, "Oh yeah, this is this place, it does all this stuff, it's ruled by this line of people, and- oh, you wanted to know the plot? Of the story? Well, uh..."
im good at world building and like
yeah i'm good at that one too. even better at making characters
ah, that's awesome
idea spitballing for motivations and stuff
ive spent too long as party face to not be guessing why people do things
yeah that too
With our powers combined, we could make a place and have people who do not move!
the basic plot is as follows: inquisitor is pinged cause psyker quotas aren't being shipped off a hive world
finds out what the deal is with that when chaos starts invading to create a warp rift around there.
Lots of problems, it seems
so many.
not only does he have to go - and fight - where it's cold, but also where it's dirty, and where there are spoiled rich people
The worst possible combinations
Onto the armor... and I swear discord if you mark this explicit
wdym it just has spikes in all the right places
Magnus the swole nerd
edgy poison lad
zherlum's evil cousin!
I mean, I feel like that's the implication, but probably not?
Dilara meant it as a joke, maybe?
that's what happens if your wardrobe has a warp rift in the back
What if you find a lion claiming to be like a god there?
along with a lamp pole and a man with goat legs?
You stop taking drugs because you're definitly having a bad trip
yeah, there's no way there could be some place called Narnia
what a stupid name, anyways
ehhh i have had worse
That sounds like heresy sol
I meant that Narnia you speak of
you do know many drugs hav been used for religious pratices for 1000s of years right?
oh that
but you said it was drugs?
first it was drugs, now it's heresy! why are you changing your mind so often? are you really a commissar?
drugs are also heresy. if i catch you with shit that isn't lho-sticks and emergency frenzon issued by the medicae you're getting it in the head.
abhumans
Technically not
technically yes
Just normal men with some implants
it's unknown if they would pass them on or not, but they are considered abhumans
They wouldn't, its vat grown organs cultivated from vats
they still have a human genome etc
Skitarii got Chem implant
Kamelia, you're a Magos Engineer now??
Always has been
hmmmm
Bleep bloop
congrats, hope you've been treating your machine spirits well
Yes
Actually I checked and you're right
You're right
ah, neat
R u telling me theres a abhuman type whos main mutation is self producing turbo heroin
Amazing
also being immune to toxins, but I guess that doesn't matter ;-;
The glands implanted into these warriors contain the Combat Drugs known as 'Slaught, Frenzon and Spur, which enhance their capabilities in combat, though often at a price. Indeed, Gland Warriors, like any other group who utilize such potent drugs - such as Penal Legions — can die at any time.
But yeah they were primary created to be able to fight in heavily polluted zones and hellish conditions
Gland warriors are actually a class that you can become in 40k Rogue Trader
Same book that gives us Genetor
😩💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
kitbashed redemptor
Okay i see redemptor dread, dreadknight, invictor
Space marine flyer... Probably interceptor

Mechwarrior online dragon
OI ! WERE THE BLOODY MECHANICUS 5...OR 4... DOES'T MATTER !
yeah just add a second carapace!
does anyone want to read the first draft of the prologue of the story about the inquisitor?
I would be happy to
i will dm ppl the link if they want to read but i'd be happy to hear others' thoughts on it
Speaking of Knights, I managed to get my hands on a 3D printed one (asked a relative if they could print one for me, this was before I got my printer), and I’m wondering what paint job I should put on it.
I’m split between Solaire, Liberty Prime, or something else that I haven’t thought of yet.
Maybe Guard-themed.
Paint it in a death korp of Kreig theme. Print a little gas mask for the face plate and give it a shovel
A first look at the new Savage Ork warband. Toofdagga of Hedkrakka's Madmob
how does an ork paint his nails
Squigs
The answer to everything
Ayy the orc models that got teased
Nice
I love these warbands. They give us an idea of what the updated full lines might look likw
are orks always yelling because their teeth are too big for their mouths
no wonder their teef always fall out then
Orks yell because they love loud noises...
That is their normal nature, they also use their teef as money... And a clan is noted to have a growth of teef greater than the other clans
Dammit... I didn't saw it...
but thanks for providing information to anyone who didn't know
I appreciate how Orks will sometimes just take currency by punching another Ork
this is disturbing yet intriguing, orkz tech strikes again
Dumb question. Do most of you paint on the sprue, or paint assembled models?
neither, paint individual parts after they've been cut from the sprue and the mold lines sanded
Get stickbugged
This is the way
Sweet thanks @plush swift, been trying to improve my technique
"Assembly painting" is a term I've seen
I know the smurfs don’t get love, but I think they’re neat!
Very nice
This feed has reminded me that I need more Warhammer but am too poor for it
another redo/edit of a tattoo idea i found, but: how to effectively announce that you're 100% not loyal anymore: step 1. get this inked on you
