that sucks

void orchid
#

Super glue gets pretty brittle at low temps

#

Dunno what the prop is made of but you could try putting it in the freezer overnight and giving it a good yank in the morning

hoary ermine
#

the prop is made out of ABS print

#

but i managed to destroy the magazine well and fix it back up fine so its all good

hoary ermine
#

im tempted to wire up an ecig into the lasgun for barrel smoke

#

works with the variation when i use it as a modded E22 as well

obtuse sinew
#

huh

#

you got it out?

obtuse sinew
#

Oh I didn't see

#

congrats

#

nice thing

hoary ermine
#

Yee

void orchid
#

looks pretty sweet

plush swift
#

neat

potent rampart
#

About to make some Inquisitorial Acolytes from Shadow Warrior, Tempestus Scion and Neophyte Hybrid kits

#

will post some picks when im done

sand tulip
#

scions need more books about them, i'd totally read them pensivebutt

hoary ermine
#

Nice

nova hinge
#

I prefer their pld name. Stormtroopers.

#

And on their design too.

hoary ermine
#

okay so

#

i have 2 power meters and a manual switch

nova hinge
#

Put a nuclear reactor(s)

hoary ermine
#

i kinda wanna install both meters but in think 1 is enough

hasty sorrel
#

welcome to the glory boys club

elfin yew
#

Ayy I was right

#

A wanderer

#

Its cool to see minor factions getting rep in fluff/cursed city

#

Her arrows are made of Oak of Ages wood

hasty sorrel
#

gonna replace one of his weapons with a flamer

#

its for an old rogue trader campaign character

sand tulip
#

ahhh

#

would be cool to have someone to play different games with speeb

void rivet
hasty sorrel
#

yes

elfin yew
#

Yee

chrome niche
#

Not all who wander are lost

urban harbor
#

but all who are lost wander :^)

#

also i was not expecting to see a prophet velen quote here so good one

void rivet
#

If you get lost, don't wander
Stay put in a place you are visible

hasty sorrel
#

use what 3 words

nova hinge
chrome niche
#

It's a Tolkien quote.

hoary ermine
#

Im thinking of shortening the barrels of my lasgun to 10cm max length

#

Downsize the range by 30 meters but increase the moveability of the gun

dusk hill
#

I adore it so much

#

Hits every single note I expect from welf stuff

#

I especially love the antlers and the hair, gives them a super distinct silhouette

obtuse sinew
#

It certainly is horny
badum tss

dusk hill
#

๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ

void orchid
#

See GW really can sculpt pretty faces

#

As long as they're mostly covered up

#

The battle braids are legit tho, big fan

plush swift
#

it's the mouth/jaw region they fuck up usually

void orchid
#

Exactly

plush swift
#

i would love to give my models some nice heads, but it's hard to find good ones

dusk hill
#

all wood elves are pretty and i'd let them all shoot me several times

#

and yeah finding good heads is hard. idk why GW struggles so much with it

dusk hill
#

wh

#

do u mean ur already gonna shoot me several times or do u mean ur pretty

#

cus u are pretty but

proud gorge
#

I get shot a lot I mean lmao

dusk hill
#

oh

#

wait how do you get shot

proud gorge
#

but yes I can load you up with arrows if you wish

dusk hill
#

with bows?? pardon

elfin yew
#

australian problems

dusk hill
#

the emus have discovered archery

proud gorge
#

I know a lot of elf players

#

essentially

elfin yew
#

tfw the war boys roll up in their buggies

dusk hill
#

I'd so play wood elves in AoS if like

#

all their kits looked like that now

elfin yew
#

Tbh the Sylvaneth look rlly good but yeee, at least the Cursed City content seems to mean they aren't just forgetting they existed which is Nice

dusk hill
#

they still hold up okay but idk. The only existing welf models i really like are the wild riders

#

ye!

elfin yew
#

Oh I wonder if the Wanderer model will get rules for either Sylvaneth or Cities

dusk hill
#

I like sylvaneth but i don't really vibe with the like, spectral elf-spite looking things in their roster. If it was all ents and like, wildlife and stuff like that then i'd love it

#

i adore the whole dryad ish aesthetic

elfin yew
#

Yee no I totally get u

#

I prefer the welf aesthetic too

dusk hill
#

nods

edgy cipher
#

Poor Incan trying to do VT references and people being too horny to understand ๐Ÿ˜”

dusk hill
#

o H it was a vermintide joke

#

heck

elfin yew
#

Yeee + The Underworlds models also have AoS rules

dusk hill
#

What was the name of the AoS Killteam equivalent again? I assume wanderers aren't playable on that

elfin yew
#

Warcry

#

and hm

#

I don't think so but I'm p sure yo ucan run most models in Warcry now

#

So potentially a Cities faction could run them

#

Lemme check

dusk hill
#

I'll check it out on battlescribe probs. If they do release compatible rules for the new welf then i might look into that

proud gorge
dusk hill
#

i'm not very smart.

#

i do take offense at the accusations of horniness tho

elfin yew
#

Yeah I was just doing a Mad Max meme raging

edgy cipher
#

GW has created cards so you can use warcry warbands that do'nt have specific minis

elfin yew
#

Ahh yee nice

edgy cipher
#

I played Warcry with gobbos on squigs

#

Boy are they terrifying

elfin yew
#

Oh yeah

#

Squigs are fucking amazing from what I know

dusk hill
#

!! hell yeah

edgy cipher
#

Counts as a flying character, squigs bites are 2 to 3 dmg

elfin yew
#

good lord

dusk hill
#

flying squigs?

#

i guess if they hop high enough

edgy cipher
#

They have the bounce rule which means they count as having the "fly" keyword

elfin yew
#

Yeee Flying keyword can just imply they can gain air long enough

#

Yeeep

edgy cipher
#

So they ignore terrain

elfin yew
#

Like, the gryphchargers I don't think could fully fly but they can chicken-fly like a jump

#

Atleast that's how I interpret it

edgy cipher
#

Which means if someone is trying to play with a ranged warband

#

you suddenly have a squig mounter that comes at 10" speed ignoring terrain

#

And he has 5 attacks

#

In a small warband game

#

And the best part is that you can have 3 of those and still 6 normal gobbos

#

To hold objectives etc

dusk hill
#

that sounds traumatic

edgy cipher
#

I faced against the Iron golems

#

Almost wiped

#

Total victory

#

Its just ridiculous how the gobbos are actually threat in AoS

#

I love it

#

Even in Underworlds

#

That Fanatic ? Utter Chaos but so fucking good

elfin yew
#

Their minis are gorgeous too

#

I love the mushroom vibes

edgy cipher
#

Yeah you don't expect the gobbos out of all the factions to have nice minis

proud gorge
dusk hill
#

oH GOD no

#

leave the elves alone

#

they don't deserve the comparison

elfin yew
#

I love that image

edgy cipher
#

Beautiful

#

the fugg cow

#

Amazing

hasty sorrel
elfin yew
#

This image is noncanon

void orchid
#

Holy shit that's hilarious

elfin yew
#

The Alarith don't ride the kangaroos, the Hurakan do

crisp forge
#

the Harakiri-what?

hasty sorrel
#

idk

#

probably the new mountain elves

crisp forge
#

I hate them

edgy cipher
#

Weird elf words

crisp forge
elfin yew
#

The Alarith are the ones with the uhh

edgy cipher
#

Don't pay attention to it

elfin yew
#

yak horns

#

the Hurakan are the new ones who ride kangaroos

#

It's a good meme

crisp forge
#

Can eldar get kangaroos

elfin yew
#

no

crisp forge
elfin yew
#

wh40k doomed to only have space marines

#

return to SOIL

edgy cipher
#

For the first time in many years

elfin yew
#

I pray my friend

edgy cipher
#

ITS CHAOS THAT IS WINNING

#

Its been 2 whole years now that Chaos is the winning faction

void orchid
#

Chaos is just spicy marines tho

edgy cipher
#

On the tabletop

void orchid
#

It's marines all the way down

edgy cipher
#

With DG currently spearheading the whole thing

elfin yew
#

Chaos deserves the wins

#

I still do genuinely believe GW can get better with 40k

void orchid
#

Smh if eldar want a new release why don't they just make some marines of their own

elfin yew
#

They turned AoS 1e from like, a dumpster fire rules wise and such, into (imo) the best ruleset of any games they've made

edgy cipher
#

Tbh they did cool stuff with the Indomitus Era

elfin yew
#

Yee u rigth

dusk hill
#

i'm convinced they're just making AoS better to get ppl to pay attention to it tbh

#

i joke but only mostly

elfin yew
#

FHNJFHJN

edgy cipher
#

But yeah currently 9th edition is one of the best tabletop editions

dusk hill
#

like. lemme just

#

make sure 40k doesn't catch up quie yet

edgy cipher
#

I'd argue 8 th was more balanced

#

But its because we haven't had all the codexes for 9th

elfin yew
#

Alot of 9e's balance problems might derive from lack of codices

#

Yee

edgy cipher
#

And I'm not saying that because Guard was really good ofc

elfin yew
#

I hope rules continue to follow the trend of less crunch, more fluff

#

That's what makes AoS rules so good tbh

edgy cipher
#

I really like the hero creator for the crusade mode

elfin yew
#

Yeeeees It's great

edgy cipher
#

Like

#

It has happened once or twice on the tabletop that one of my unit or mini does crazy good rolls

elfin yew
#

There's also rules to use those in ur regular games iirc

edgy cipher
#

And then i wanna turn it into a hero

#

And this rule just sounds great for those moments

#

Like a lone guard sergeant killing 2 eliminators and 3 scouts

#

Ima remember that one for a long time

feral valley
#

the squats project continues unabated! Ive settled on a paint scheme, gotten in my first three shields and mauls, and now, have ordered all of my special weapons, and 30 of my needed lasguns

#

very excited gents

dusk hill
#

! nice

edgy cipher
#

Don't forget the pics

plush swift
#

Niiice

obtuse sinew
#

it is nice

#

you ever end up getting those cables?

plush swift
#

Sanded already?

hoary ermine
#

@obtuse sinew which cables?

#

@plush swift every thing but the stock is done

obtuse sinew
#

sorry, must be misremembering

hoary ermine
#

I need to bolt down a support plate over the top of the stock

obtuse sinew
#

I thought you were gonna make the gun hook up to a backpack thing or something

#

like a hotshot lasgun

hoary ermine
#

I am yeah to a thigh battery

#

I have to do that to the mag

obtuse sinew
#

ah, alright

hoary ermine
#

I need tobalso wire up 4 lasers and a vape

obtuse sinew
#

right, because you want it to smoke

#

hope that works out for ya, sounds real awesome

hoary ermine

Yee

That looks really good

#

Someone found an important detail on the new Sigvald model

dusk hill
#

ASS

#

i shall grab the sigvald butt

bold lily
proud gorge
dusk hill
#

hot take but man butt > all other butts

#

we stan siggy

obtuse sinew
#

nah nah

#

half muscular half fat butt > all other butts

#

regardless of gender

dusk hill
#

hm

#

i can accept this postulation

#

it's gotta be toned but like, not a skeleton butt

#

not that skinny butts and thicker butts aren't also desirable, my religion is ass, but

proud gorge
#

postulating posteriors

plush swift
#

The best asses have a 1:2 fat muscle ratio or 2:3 at most 1:1, a butt should be firm but sufficiently fleshy and wider than the hips are

#

You should feel the firmness and power when the glutes are tensed but on its own the asscheeks, relaxed, should be rounded especially around the bottom part

#

1 glute should ideally be the size of your hand splayed, or larger

#

And in my opinion it should ideally be smooth, pale and without tanlines

#

๐Ÿค”

#

...a whole essay. An assay if you will

#

So glutes for the sloots?

#

No, for me

#

People have butts specifically for the pleasure of my eyes

#

And hands, if they are willing and so inclined

proud gorge
#

understandable

plush swift
#

Indeed

#

unironically squats and oats are the shit tho

#

For me too. I can only engage in exercises which culminate in violence

#

Karate, hema, buhurt, archery

#

I think initially archery made me more violent just cause of the frustration of missing lol

#

Alas poor $40 bow, you didnโ€™t deserve such fate

#

Thats why i sold my bow. Frustration and no way to vent it in cqc

uncut olive
plush swift
#

Hema and buhurt are both types of historical fencing

uncut olive
#

Ah

plush swift
#

HEMA I heard is the good stuff, wish I had more time to invest into it

#

Yup

#

Its great

#

Basically it utilizes the same teachings as historical fencing books

#

Much chonkier weapons in comparison too

proud gorge
#

I did more standard fencing

#

though the time I got to spend with sabres was lit

kind rock
#

Thats a lot of ass parameters to meet

though i'd worry about prometheum spattering backwards

while the chain still run

Prometheum can also be gas based

sand tulip

then all good

Oh I though you were saying that for Darktide

Oi im from under the rock, Nice too meet you guys.
A question: what happend to the melta bombs in 9th edition?
Did they realy make them a stratagem exclusive to Sm? :marinethonk:

hasty sorrel
#

no clue, havent touched 9e

#

it could just be the rules havent converted yet as IG havent even been moved to 9e

hoary ermine
#

Sigvald doesnt wear pants

#

Nor underwear, he goes cmando every battle

dusk hill
#

i do love that detail on siggy

#

like, even back to his og WHFB model. He's not wearing much in the way of clothes under that armour

#

his armour's leggings also function as thigh highs

hoary ermine
#

Its amazing

dusk hill
#

absolutely

#

gratuitously slutty slaaneshi boytoys ftw

#

sigvald is a switch and i will accept no counterpoints

green cave
#

Yeah, it seems that house cawdor is going to pop up on necromunda, really, the least thing that it would have needed was a group of fanatics with flamers...

urban harbor
#

eh

#

if the other gangs are any indecation they wont be that different to the rest

green cave
#

Van Saar are amazing, orlocks maybe second... Pretty much all the others are crazy people

#

Maybe escher and delanque can be considered good too

urban harbor
#

escher best imho

green cave
#

Uhm.... -.-

#

Well, at least they are just crazy, not fanatics like cawdors

urban harbor
#

and by not different i ment their kit and their playstyle will be about the same as everyone else

green cave
#

And have cats

plush swift
urban harbor
#

i love playing as him in TWWH

dusk hill
#

i'd argue not

urban harbor
#

he is the best chaos lord in that game tbh

dusk hill
#

limiting yourself to just subbing or domming is profoundly anti slaanesh imo

urban harbor
#

he has the best skills/abilitys

#

sigvald buffs his entire army where as archeon and korlek only buff one type of unite

green cave
#

What? That is lore breaking! Why sigvald would buff anyone other than him?

urban harbor
#

the buffs are worded that his warriors push themselvs harder so he might look at them for a second

green cave
#

But truth be told, it is a really nice thing that he go helmetless... Just take aim and shoot him

urban harbor
#

and pantsless............

green cave
#

push themselvs harder
Awful choosing of words talking about slaneesh champion

urban harbor
#

this is true

rose sluice
#

only real reason to play him

urban harbor
#

oh no

nova hinge
#

wish he was a princess...

crisp forge
#

take your genderbend kink

#

and push it somewhere else

urban harbor
#

lol

rose sluice
nova hinge
#

"Sex-Bend" is more correct. Since it changes body.

urban harbor
#

you know what

#

ima start a sigvald campaigne

nova hinge
rose sluice
#

just for sliverslash

urban harbor
#

i havent played chaos in TWWH2 yet

urban harbor
#

cuz he is the most powerfull f the 3 lords

rose sluice
#

not saying much to be fair

urban harbor
#

true

#

his contempularies are the southern boi in chaos armor and a giant fool of a dragon ogre

rose sluice
#

just don't like the horde factions much

#

have to mod them to make them fun

crisp forge
#

Mood

rose sluice
#

done a campaign where i sent nakai through bretonia and killed them all

dusk hill
#

which mods make hordes bearable

rose sluice
#

depends

dusk hill
#

cus i legitimately cannot get myself to play them

rose sluice
#

generally just want an income one

dusk hill
#

why did i buy the beastmen lol

rose sluice
#

for the specified faction

#

for woodelves

#

but even then

crisp forge
#

probably this

dusk hill
#

correct.

#

I honestly view the beastmen now as like. slavic doomers and idk how i feel about it

crisp forge
#

thats what they are for now tbh

#

the most grimdark faction of all

#

literally do nothing but get bullied

dusk hill
#

abandoned by their own gods

#

as well as GW

#

and CA and everyone else who touches them

crisp forge
#

tarriff's memes dont help either

rose sluice
#

love the auto resolve one

urban harbor
#

??

#

i havent heared/seen these memes

dusk hill
#

i do love the idea that khazrak is just having a perpetual breakdown in the woods with his 1999 computer gradually becoming more desperate waiting for his dlc

crisp forge
#

LOL

#

YES

#

Also Morghur is just a tired guiding spirit

plush swift
#

im still thinking about sigvald's assless chaps styled leg harness now...

urban harbor
#

you poor basterd

plush swift
#

though it has to be enchanted somehow

#

cause otherwise, that shit would chafe and burn and all

urban harbor
#

shhhhhhhhhh

#

you are treading into dangerus waters

#

here it comes

plush swift
#

magical armor that can be worn naked

#

that does seem like a slaaneshi thing

nova hinge
#

One dwarf or halfling with weapon. Sneak under him. The loss of his sexual organ happens.

plush swift
#

you can't sneak under a man that easily

crisp forge
#

jokes aside sigvald's ass armor in total war looks funny af

#

its just flat

urban harbor
#

sneak up behind him and stap him in the ass

nova hinge
#

If it's middle of battle, it might easier

plush swift
#

nope

nova hinge
#

Or attach the BOMB!

plush swift
#

that would mean you have to sneak around him first

nova hinge
#

BOOOM!!

plush swift
#

and there size is not as important

urban harbor
nova hinge
#

Ok, let's just hire some assassins, then.

#

Or teleport a slayer behind him

urban harbor
#

the man would make narssius blush

nova hinge
#

Or dawi miner digs out from ground right under him

hasty sorrel
chrome niche
#

the mod SFO Grimhammer is good so far

#

Changes a LOT of things

#

I've almost conquered Bretonnia with Nakai

hasty sorrel
#

nakai is op tbf

#

even in base

crisp forge
#

Nakai's attack animation set is metal af

chrome niche
#

spin to win

dusk hill
#

i mean, there are ways to make them more bearable

chrome niche
#

But the SFO mod makes his vassal actually defend itself

dusk hill
#

in the case of beastmen a lot of the issue is in replenishment

#

uh oh i took some damage in that last battle, time to sit around in encamp stance for seven turns to recover uwu

chrome niche
#

Their basic infantry is just really bad

dusk hill
#

oh beastmen work very well in actual battles

#

not missing any super significant models imo. They did a good job there

chrome niche
#

I don't feel like they are beastmen, they're more like...runaroundandkitemen

dusk hill
#

the campaign mechanics just suck ass

#

i mean, they suck at kiting tho

#

that's a welf thing

chrome niche
#

But centigores are important to the mix

dusk hill
#

yea they're ur only source of significant ranged AP

#

but like. there's not a whole lot of kiting beyond that

#

it's mostly just super mobile aggressive glass cannon ish vibes, which i adore. it's my fav style of play

chrome niche
#

I don't like factions with low leadership. Not that all of them have it in the roster but they're no lizardmen or dwarfs

dusk hill
#

though i imagine in campaign it eventually just turns into a gigantic horde of minotaurs or something, cus CA doesn't seem to want to try to combat doomstacking at this point

#

yea that's fair

chrome niche
#

The whole deal with rallying and running back and such just isn't fun.

#

STAND OR DIE

dusk hill
#

micromanaging all the fleeing and returning units gets difficult, esp when you have super big broad armies like beastmen and greenskins

#

plus it's sorta nice knowing that x unit can actually hold for any period

chrome niche
#

and I figured beastmen would be the stand or die type of race

dusk hill
#

they are if u do full spawn armies

#

this post made by [UNINTELLIGIBLE COW GIBBERISH] gang

vivid rune
#

I like the dwarfs but playing them literally teaches me nothing

#

I try any other race and my armies get wiped out by turn 3 because the first battle takes half my fucking army

chrome niche
#

I like em, they're easy to grasp, strong and unwavering

dusk hill
#

dwarfs do probs teach some bad habits

vivid rune
#

Yup

dusk hill
#

like. given u can trust dwarf units to hold in basically all circumstances for at least a minute lol

chrome niche
#

If you go from dwarf to skaven it's gonna be wild

dusk hill
#

except for like, rangers and artillery crews

crisp forge
dusk hill
#

dipdjhgwp

#

i love the grombrindal starting units

crisp forge
vivid rune
#

I have never seen a single one of my dwarf front line flee

chrome niche
#

That'd be a grudgin

dusk hill
#

They all have a minimum of like 80 leadership, 80 armour and like 40 melee defence on the bog standard dwarf warriors

#

so yeah

chrome niche
#

Pure hammer and anvil faction, the dawi.

dusk hill
#

i mean

#

it's more like anvil and then another anvil delivered via gunpowder

chrome niche
#

I get my frontline stuck in there and then I move my missiles around to reap

#

my gunners have a great time

crisp forge
#

Seriously though just get ironbreakers

dusk hill
#

smthn like empire or like. any faction with actual mobility and magic. is hammer and anvil

crisp forge
#

their demolition charge spam is insane

chrome niche
#

I do miss the magic yeah

vivid rune
#

I played grombrindal once and figured out how nuts the drake guns are

chrome niche
#

runes are strong too but no wow factor

dusk hill
#

drakeguns and warpfires are extremely good in the early game

vivid rune
#

Like

dusk hill
#

esp warpfires cus they're a headass tier 2 unit iirc

vivid rune
#

Youll see a tarpit about to hit your front line

#

Drakes xome up

#

One volley

chrome niche
#

SFO changes the starting units for him but also changes the entire building roster for dwarfs

vivid rune
#

That tarpit is now fleeing before thet even reach melee

dusk hill
#

obvs in multiplayer they're trashy but like, bots don't understand how to not bunch up in the perfect way for flamethrowers to melt them

chrome niche
#

and I really like Slayers...

#

They're just cool

vivid rune
#

Slayers are cool but man they cant stand up to ranged well

chrome niche
#

It's what you get when naked

dusk hill
#

slayers are for utility. like, u get maybe three at most to just patrol the backline and murder any large units trying to get at ur archers

#

though i do adore how bot ungrim is programmed to recruit nearly pure slayer armies

chrome niche
#

I dont play MP, so that doesn't bother me.

vivid rune
#

I wish dwarves had some low level chaff cav to deal with archers

dusk hill
#

they do

#

dwarf warriors are extremely efficient with archers

vivid rune
#

Cav

dusk hill
#

they're good chaff but they're still chaff

#

oh

vivid rune
#

I know dwarfs have literally no cav in lore

dusk hill
#

yeah that's their main issue

vivid rune
#

So its a pipe dream

dusk hill
#

the one true solution is to simply shoot them with organ gunsโ„ข๏ธ

#

don't need cav when u have dawi technology

#

praise grungi

vivid rune
#

Thats what i meant by low level chaff cav because at the start of their campaign you dont get stuff to quickly deal with ranged until mid to late game

#

They do have stuff that deals with ranged quickly, it just takes a bit to get it

dusk hill
#

it's def not much of an issue. like, campaign dwarves are mind numbingly easy in the early game

vivid rune
#

Yea

dusk hill
#

nobody around you has significant AP, nevermind significant AP missiles, so you can always just out-trade them with quarrellers and stuff anyways

vivid rune
#

I need to play a different race and learn this game proper

#

My monke brain isnt strong enough to manage it all

#

i've been meaning to do a full tehenhuain skink campaign

#

no saurus only skink

vivid rune
#

Oh god

#

I lost turn 2 with him on easy

dusk hill
#

lol his campaign is so weirdly designed

#

on vortex?

vivid rune
#

Yup

#

Its fucking aweful

dusk hill
#

Usually you like. Expect the first enemy faction you're meant to attack to be a total pushover

vivid rune
#

Theyre three skaven armies right next to you

dusk hill
#

but then clan fester shows up with like two 12-stack armies on turn 2

#

like, wh

#

i did not expect this

vivid rune
#

Exactly

#

You push over the first objective turn one, you took a bit of damage but youre alright

#

Then

#

Boom

dusk hill
#

in my campaign i played on very hard i headass had to like, fall back to my capital to bait them into the saurus garrison lol

vivid rune
#

2 skaven doom stacks literally show up

dusk hill
#

it's like younger brother skink running over to older brother saurus to deal with a school bully

#

in all actuality it's def v manageable but like, i don't think i could've beaten them immediately. i'm fairly good with the AI now and even then

#

too much chaff, no way to deal with 3+ rat ogre units

#

would have to withdraw a little to recruit a bunch more skink javelins

#

I'm not sure what the actual hardest campaign is. I know i enjoy nakai's the least, just cus it's all why the fuck am i in norsca

#

everything is corrupted and there's nothing here

#

i wanna go home

exhiles of nehek is a prettt tough one

vivid rune
#

Oof

#

What do you guys think the preorder race will be?

dusk hill
#

i honestly found the arkhan campaign to be a lil harder

dusk hill
#

cus just. tomb kings vs dwarfs. and if u haven't got the casket yet the ONLY ap you have is that one singular ass tomb scorpion

#

it's painful

dusk hill
#

they haven't carved out that whole area of the darklands over a significant period of time in game 2 just to leave it empty and go for ogres instead, that couldn't feasibly appear in game 2's mortal empires

hasty sorrel
#

exiles is vs dark elves, beastmen and wood elves

#

can get funky

dusk hill
#

idk none of them are too bad for tomb kings i feel? like, it's heavy armour they really struggle with in the early game

#

oh yeah ig you also have your ushabti summon but that only sorta counts

hasty sorrel
#

skarsnik start now that WE are more aggressive

dusk hill
#

oh god i hadn't considered skarsnik

#

i adore how like. massive the contrast is between bot skarsnik playing as belegar vs skarsnik when you play as him

#

bot skarsnik marches straight down the grey mountains at turn 10 with two full stacks of goblins

#

player skarsnik is playing survival mode

hasty sorrel
#

that araknarok carries hard early

dusk hill
#

yea can imagine

#

esp against all that heavy cav

hasty sorrel
#

honestly

#

only way to play it is to head south

#

and look for other lords to clobber

#

try for that confed

#

its slightly less garbage to play since they did the charge defence rework

dusk hill
#

if i was playing it i'd probs go straight down to like, the border princes/clan angrund ish, so i at least know grimgor&co is probs gonna dominate my whole southern flank

#

as opposed to being totally surrounded by germans, frenchies and elves

#

Hi all!
In this tutorial video I show you the method I use when painting space marine camouflage cloaks.
You can use this technique on any Warhammer 40k miniatures that use camo.
I reccomend changing up the colours and style to match your army and bases.
I hope you find it useful!

I was wondering cause I have a drawing pad thing and want to use it but I havenโ€™t found any good programs

copper latch
#

depends on the kind of work you like doing. my friends and i mostly have used photoshop, but clip is pretty good especially if you have a friend who already has some good brushes made. paint tool sai is pretty good for linework and corel painter has some interesting features but is a little harder to get a feel for in my opinion.

#

also, want to start digging into some of the 40k books anyone have any suggestions on some of the better ones or series to look into?

steel comet
#

eisenhorne series is a good one. the urial ventres series is a good one the blood angel omnibus is a decent one and if you want somthing more choasy the blacklagion series is very good

#

but generly take a series whare your intrest ar and you wil be good

#

and ther is a humbelbundel whit 40k books and audiobooks for not to muche monny i recomand starting ther. thay come around a few times a year and i hafe atm a sizebel portion of the hores herresy books in audio format thoe ar great read/lissen as wel

but the horus herresy hase over 65books atm from the top of my head

plush swift
kind rock
#

Yeah, i use other peoples custom brushes or i make my own, but you also don't NEED fancy brushes to do things. When i paint in photoshop i pretty much use the default round brush with transfer set to pen pressure. Like these that i shared the other day are all painted with the default round brush in PS

#

Ive used Sai, Photoshop, clip studio, and procreate pretty extensively and out of all of them id recommend CSP for painting and drawing just because of the balance of functionality and accessibility/cost (i mean, unless you pirate everything). Like, i like ps but Adobe pricing is a scam and it's not intended as a painting program so the brushes dont behave "realistically" like the others, and sai last i checked you had to use an unofficial translation of the program (and i still think csp is better overall). And procreate requires an ipad.

#

Csp even has like, a built in 3d model posing tool so you can create your own reference material to work from. And if you do any sort of comics or sequential art their screentone functions are pretty great. For $25-50 USD you can't beat it. Procreate is technically cheaper but like i said, requires an ipad

#

Ok sorry for wall of text I'll crawl back into my hole now

uncut olive
plush swift
#

what needs to be said is that CSP doesn't have some of the extensive editing and masking options that PS provides

uncut olive
#

Ah. Thanks. Iโ€™m just looking for somewhere to draw.

plush swift
#

you can try out the tablet by pirating paint tool sai

#

it's really easy to find

copper latch
#

Thanks for info on the books.

Photoshop is more of a general image editing tool like inquisitor mentioned so it does have a lot useful things that make it worth having even if you mainly use another program. Most other programs can read photoshop files so it's nice to have of you just want to make a few touch ups and export the file. It is unfortunately slow and a huge memory hog. Depending on your rig it can behave like it's held together as well as ork tech.

plush swift
#

yep, that's also my issue with a lot of adobe products. immense, slow and hogging processing power.

#

also crashing. fucking after effects...

copper latch
#

Yeah luckily ps cc saves recovery info on a timer you can set which can save you when crashes happen. Never done much video editing but I know rendering video is a huge resource hog, is after effects as slow as i can imagine it is?

plush swift
#

yes it is

#

and slower

#

once i rendered a video for like 12 hours because it kept crashing and failing

kind rock
#

After effects rendering is the bane of my existence

plush swift
#

same

#

but sometimes it just randomly crashes in the middle of actual video making

#

freezes

#

i lose 3 hours of progress, mmmkay

kind rock
#

Yep, unless you have a spaceship computer and even then it sometimes throws a tantrum

#

On my 2015 gaming PC rendering a 10 minute video took over 2 hours, during which i couldnt use the pc for literally anything else

#

And its so goddamned expensive. Like i still use PS illegally because i do need a more robust image editor for art and photography but god adobe is the worst

plush swift
#

i have a pirated version i'm not paying adobe

#

i'm not stupid

#

i'm not gonna pay for software that keeps crashing and is a pain to use

kind rock
#

I do wish csp had a liquify tool for quick minor adjustments

#

But procreate has one at least

plush swift
#

i don't support apple and i can't even get a stylus for my samsung tablet so tablet drawing is currently off limits for me

kind rock
#

Fair, i resisted buying one for a long time but i was like....sigh, ok, ill sell my soul this once. I got it used though so not quite as bad

plush swift
#

the more i learn about apple the less i want to even touch their products

sand tulip
#

adobe is subscription based no?

#

the full license is redonkulous

plush swift
#

yes

#

that's another reason why i don't buy their stuff

#

who's gonna pay for this shit monthly/yearly?

edgy cipher
#

Companies

Yeah the new cc thing is a subscription that rolls out lots of updates automatically that make it slower.

it uh

just doesnt look as fleshy usualy

sand tulip

it's...organic metally like?

hasty sorrel
#

Yeah

#

My concept is that the character believes mech and machine should become one

#

but going cybernetics is a cop out

#

so the mech is as "lifelike" as it can be

#

so a lot of the pipping and stuff is rubbers and soft polymers

so it all pulses and moves with every input
