hm yeah it might look okay on admech but like, there are a lot of lil distinct details on them. Plus a lot of big flat areas you can't highlight so well with the skitarii cloaks

#

it would def work better on crons

manic quartz
#

heck tehnically you could get multiple shades with the same color

#

it can still look good

not at all

this doesn't look like a 3+...

proud gorge
#

that's actually really well done holy moly

edgy cipher
#

I didn't know the nsfw versions existed

#

But yeah

#

I found the art pretty sick

plush swift
#

I find it just right for eldar, they should be s lim and sinewy

edgy cipher
#

Didn't know you had FE emote Dilara

proud gorge
#

Dilara just has all the emotes for everything

#

simply too powerful

edgy cipher
#

She must be contained then

#

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

dusk hill
#

is there a praetorian one

#

if not i'll be sad

#

In last days the Mordians have attracted my attention... Mostly because they really seems prussian inspired

proud gorge

#

I know right

edgy cipher

hasn't that calendar series been going on for ages now?

funny since he even did one of the most obscure regiments like Midgardia but no Praetorians

#

What? That can interest a commissar here

crisp forge

#

Funny he did a commissar one too

Also i din't knew that Midgardian PDF had some images that can be used as inspiration

crisp forge

👀

edgy cipher
#

So this guy does pinups

#

I almost want to print it one and stick it on the side of my valkyries

edgy cipher
#

Yeah like that

green cave
#

Uhm... Not really what i was expecting from something midgardian... It also feel weird

crisp forge
#

Yeah welcome to pinup calendar art

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

They aren't really IG, they are under the "command" of the space wolves IIRC

So they are the PDF of the Space Wolves world ?

Alright

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 do not deserve such things!

did you really think a 40k server with a penal legion theme would be a democracy?

nova hinge
hoary ermine
#

Should i
..

#

Get a new breast plate or should i use my current grenadier armor

dusk hill
#

what for?

hoary ermine
#

Krieg medic

void rivet
#

For a cosplay?

obtuse sinew
#

ye

#

and that is a good question

obtuse sinew
#

after all, no reason to replace something that isn't necessary, unless you plan on replacing everything

hoary ermine
#

Of course, the thing is that the character has a rounded rider plate and i have a squared grenadier plate

dusk hill
#

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?

plush swift
#

yes new cuirass

hoary ermine
#

well

#

Medics are kept in command squads, so a cuirass makes sense

#

its based on this art

nova hinge
#

and if medic hurts, who will heal the others?

hoary ermine
#

my brother gave me a headlight for a car ill use for the surgery lamp

nova hinge
#

oh, that artist

hoary ermine
#

shush its fine

nova hinge
#

YES-YES

hoary ermine
#

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

nova hinge
#

's that enough strong to hanging around with?

hoary ermine
#

yeah

nova hinge
#

ho...

hoary ermine
#

Its gonna be good

nova hinge
#

I would go 80% anyways tho

hoary ermine
#

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

nova hinge
#

holy shit...

hoary ermine
#

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

nova hinge
#

The tech must developed-improved to cheaper production!

hoary ermine
#

It has been

#

but material cost is a thing still

#

for the body, las wells, laspack, clip, stock and butt im paying 150

nova hinge
#

I'm still waiting for 3D printing the metals

#

So I can have spring steel suit of armour that has a shape I desier.

void rivet
#

It already exist, in reductive and additive

#

But the additive is more expensive

hoary ermine
nova hinge
#

But not cheap, right?

hoary ermine
#

new gun barrels are printed this way to see how far we can increase fire gas pressure

nova hinge
#

'ight, reason to live long added

hoary ermine
#

so

#

the issue is mostly time

#

printer material is fairly cheap

void rivet
#

Have you looked at resin printing ? For big project it can sometime be cheaper

hoary ermine
#

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

void rivet
#

there is also some filament where there is wood/metal particle in it

hoary ermine
#

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

nova hinge
#

Wow...

hoary ermine
#

This this is what a plastic or steel printer does

void rivet
#

Or do it in wood with a CNC machine

hoary ermine
#

This is what a resin printer does

#

do you see the difference?

nova hinge
#

Holy...

hoary ermine
#

if i were to add another orb to the resin printer, print time stays the same

nova hinge
#

It looks almost like a damn magic to me

hoary ermine
#

But, resin prints are, weaker

nova hinge
#

sad

hoary ermine
#

Its because resin prints often dont have internal solidity

#

theyre either hollow or thinly walled

nova hinge
#

Oh... that's the problem

hoary ermine
#

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

nova hinge
#

To me, sturdiness is a most important thing

hoary ermine
#

like having a lightbulb inside chocolate

nova hinge
#

Oh

hoary ermine
#

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

nova hinge
#

So, those two are for two good for two different things

#

Good-good

void rivet
#

Powder printing is the best for detail iirc

nova hinge
hoary ermine
#

yeah resin is often done for stuff like, prototypes, dental casts, miniatures

void rivet
#

Isn't the stuff Forgeworld does in resin ?

hoary ermine
#

yep

#

But thats cast

#

not printed

nova hinge
#

So, if I want a battle ready stuffs. I should go to powder or plastic/steel printers, right?

hoary ermine
#

they print their new models, then make molds to cast them

void rivet
#

still hella fragile

hoary ermine
#

depends

hoary ermine
#

some resin is good

#

Forgeworld chooses to use lower quality

#

Theres a reason people buy recast

void rivet
hoary ermine
#

Battle ready for models or battle ready for real world stuff 👀

nova hinge
#

Grinding things, right?

nova hinge
void rivet
#

Yup but the object isn't spinning

hoary ermine
#

Hm, yeah CNC

nova hinge
#

It should endure chopping the fully grown healthy human male bone easily

void rivet
#

Lathe is roughly the same, they use it for boring the barrel of guns

hoary ermine
#

Not female? are you sexist?

#

you only killing males in battle?

#

Unbelieveable

nova hinge
#

male is usually sturdier than fem

void rivet
#

I'm an equal opportunist killer

nova hinge
#

Average

#

The average

void rivet
#

Not just the men but the women and the children too

#

Well, since Vulkan whould do that to eldar. Maybe?

dusk hill
#

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

hoary ermine
#

if i get knights, ill have to heavily modify them

hoary ermine
#

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

dusk hill
#

i love them so much

hoary ermine
#

same

#

id rather get 3 nemesis titans than 1 warlord lol

dusk hill
#

i wanna get one sometime. but i also want a stormsurge

hoary ermine
#

they retired the cool ones

dusk hill
#

all the giant artillery placement walkers

i want them all

hoary ermine

the stormsurge is the plastic one

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

summer pawn
#

Maybe, for Ordo Xeno, use AdMech with Xenos weapons ?

#

Or Adeptas ?

green cave
#

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

summer pawn
#

XD

#

Maybe use Solar Auxilia ?

potent rampart
#

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

still need more ideas but i'm stuck on symbolism as he's a renegade, but not a chaos worshipper per se

lapis tundra
#

Nice work! Where do all his scars come from?

plush swift
#

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

zenith tundra

I really like the idea of just having heaps of text as a tattoo

sand tulip

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

sand tulip
#

conduct the necessary psalms

plush swift
#

Good advice

sand tulip
#

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

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?

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

Or him being less egoistical and questionning why would the Emperor only speak through a random sword he found from a xeno cult

High fantasy is bland to me for the most part

Both

But Dritzz story is actually pretty good so I'll let it slide

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

#

I like the Dwarfs in the Drizzt books

#

The Human not so much

hasty sorrel
#

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"

edgy cipher
#

This is how I've always done with my rpg, same with RT

#

You kind of have to just to have a coherent world

hasty sorrel
#

its actualy been weird seeing darktide do 40k supposedly more like how i view it and less like the memes

hasty sorrel
#

grim, down to earth medeival fantasy is where its at

#

always one for "power but at a price" things

plush swift
#

Yep

#

I like witcher for that reason as well

hasty sorrel
#

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?

plush swift
#

YES GOD SAME

edgy cipher
#

Well in the actual lore of Dnd, there are reasons

#

But the lore is thrown out of the window for the tabletop games

plush swift
#

In my setting you literally have to be born with it and picked up in time before you kill yourself with it

hasty sorrel
#

meanwhile whf the winds of magic will screw you

#

either the magic durectly marking you or tzeentches curse

edgy cipher
#

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
plush swift
#

Then you end up being a hoe to aristocracy, generals or the church until you've grown into your big boy pants

edgy cipher
#

Look at how I don't include warlorck

hasty sorrel
#

and ye i know that zher

edgy cipher

Because it was only a supplement

plush swift
#

Still the fact you can learn it and it's not an eldritch, horrifying life hazard that peasants look at with terror is... meh

hasty sorrel

outside of the fact it isnt risk reward makes it less interesting

theres the fact that balance wise

I have a bit of dialogue i can show you if you want

hasty sorrel
#

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

hasty sorrel
#

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

crisp forge
#

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

void rivet
#

Like there was a planet that was a fat man

elfin yew
#

My favorite is the d20 planet

hasty sorrel
#

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

plush swift
# hasty sorrel ye feel free inquis

"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."

if only it could just write itself, and yet it's also fun to write through it. but that might just be me

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.
