40k-minis-and-armies

[crisp olive]

Metal boxes!

[visual bolt]

yeah but its equal all the way around so its fine

[crisp forge]

no its not

where is my man asses

[visual bolt]

i mean that its balanced

[crisp forge]

[visual bolt]

if you want man ass

[obtuse sinew]

surely the male counterpart also needs that weird fucking overly large cup, no?

[visual bolt]

go to slaanesh model

youll get a lil bit of both

[crisp forge]

Oh no sigvald NOOOOOO

[visual bolt]

ya feel me?

[dusky mango]

yes

[dusk hill]

It's p much a given the boobs aren't like. Actually reaching the ends of the boobplate so like

[dusky mango]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60lU68oyxK4&t=1044s

[dusk hill]

The assplate should also be far larger than the actual ass

[dusky mango]

When it comes to female armour I just take my lead from this

[crisp forge]

Tbh just make it a normal boobcup and you're fine. Anything not massive and anime'ish is cool

Female stormcasts and sisters pull it off really well

[dusky mango]

so does Mandolorian armour

[crisp forge]

Yeah but their women arent big

so no

I got standarts

[dusk hill]

With how men inserted massive cockplates onto their plate armour, exaggerated proportions that aren't entirely accurate aren't totally uncalled for tbh

[plush swift]

if its meant to go in battle

[dusky mango]

yeah, just cover your vitals and its cool

[plush swift]

on an actual battle-ready person

[crisp forge]

Its bad yes?

[plush swift]

not someone who will sit in a tent and have their portrait painted

NO boob cups are allowed

[crisp forge]

Too bad

don em on lads

[dusk hill]

I imagine that having like

[dusky mango]

in reality yes

[dusk hill]

A weird hollow area around the boobplate isn't entirely optimal

[plush swift]

like

[dusk hill]

Given I assume the clothes u wear under armour would smoosh the boob anyways

[dusky mango]

in 40k where they are not wearing camo, using silly tactics and have pipe organ tank rocket launchers, it'll be fine

[plush swift]

if they're on plate armor... the boob is invariably empty and just an embellishment

and like

why do you have to sexualize armor in such stupid ways

[dusk hill]

You don't touch my organ tank rocket launchers

They're iconic

[dusky mango]

honestly its probably just filled with more ceramite

[crisp forge]

Its not even sexualized though

I really dont see anything wrong with this

[dusky mango]

everything about the sororitas is iconic I agree with you

[crisp forge]

flat sororita armor would be just bad

[plush swift]

no???

[crisp forge]

Yes?

[plush swift]

gothic armor sororitas???

[crisp forge]

So...?

[plush swift]

they literally wear sallets

[crisp forge]

Thats the entire reason they literally have boobplates

[dusky mango]

they alreafy are?

[crisp forge]

and corsets

[dusky mango]

panzercorsets

[dusk hill]

The older sob models do sorta look like they have bowls on their chests

Its a lil less dumb now but

[plush swift]

just give them a cuirass like this

it's so much better

[crisp forge]

Nah

[plush swift]

yes

[dusk hill]

Gothic armour is overrated tbh

[crisp forge]

nou

[plush swift]

look, i like tits as much as the next horndog but they don't belong on armor

they belong in armor

[dusk hill]

Though I might just be traumatised by how badly gothic Knights sucked in med 2

[plush swift]

safely protected beneath a practical cuirass

[dusk hill]

A rational stance

[proud gorge]

they belong on

[dusky mango]

Honestly tho, if u see a lunatic zealot walking towards u with one of the most powerful infantry weapons ever given to a human and the first thing u think is "bOoB pLaTe" that will probably also be the last thing you think

[proud gorge]

nvm

[plush swift]

and they belong on my face obviously

[proud gorge]

there we go

[dusk hill]

Mood

[dusky mango]

the sororitas asked for both and they got both

[plush swift]

a lunatic zealot would realistically not be thinking about what makes her tits look great

she'd be thinking about how to maximize her killing capacity

[dusky mango]

"realistically" in 40k

[plush swift]

and having tits on armor doesn't contribute to it

i'm all for them having tits on ceremonial armor

but def not on battle ready stuff

[dusk hill]

I imagine we can all agree that the high heels on SoB are wholly inexcusable tho

[dusky mango]

I know that what you are arguing makes more sense but you are arguing in a universe that is specifically made to NOT make sense

[dusk hill]

Though that said, someone who can fight wars in high heels is to be feared

Maybe it's a flex

[dusky mango]

I enact the rule of cool to override your sensible gothic armour preferances

[dusk hill]

Ugh no

[plush swift]

but it's not even cool

tits on armor are not cool

[dusky mango]

ture

[plush swift]

they're just a bad misconception from like... the 60s

[dusky mango]

*true

[crisp forge]

Thats literally your bias speaking

if it was that hated it'd have been removed LOOOONG ago

but its still there and pristine as ever so

[dusk hill]

Gonna come to blows over chestplates

[crisp forge]

[plush swift]

well because some people have no fucking taste and yet somehow got into design

[obtuse sinew]

that is true

[plush swift]

it's the same as concrete block buildings

[dusky mango]

yup

[plush swift]

they are still being built

[dusky mango]

f*ck I hate those

[dusk hill]

Do u have an emoji of the haggard ass :o metal SoB

[plush swift]

they're objectively, unanimously stupid and depressing

[dusk hill]

I wanna gaze upon their visage

[plush swift]

and they are still being built even today, and painted horrendous colors

[crisp forge]

Theres a difference between a dumb concrete building and a tiny plastic model though

[plush swift]

same with boob plates

in design

[crisp forge]

You really are just overeacting

its harmless

it doesnt ruin anything

[plush swift]

i will not stand for unrealistic armor

[crisp forge]

Its 40k so

🤷‍♀️

[dusky mango]

its like someone took the worst most depressing parts of 60s taste, combined them with pollution and made a building out of it

[plush swift]

other things, i can forgive

but not armor specifically

[dusky mango]

WE ARE IN 40k ALL OF THE ARMOUR IS UNREALISTIC

[obtuse sinew]

true

[dusky mango]

EVERYONE WEARS SHOOT ME COULOURS

[plush swift]

okay shoot me colours are actually NOT so bullshit when you're fighting in close range

napoleonic armies? hello

[dusky mango]

the eldar and the custodes have ****** trafic cone helmets

[dusky mango]

BUT THEY ARE IN THE FAR FUTURE

THEY HAVE SNIPERS

[crisp forge]

Yeah lol

[dusky mango]

LIKE RANGERS AND SCOUTS AND RATLINGS

[plush swift]

that's a whole another thing indeed

[dusky mango]

AND BOMBERS

AND DRONES

[obtuse sinew]

there's a whole regiment who wear silver masks that block, like, 50% of their vision, and yet are described as having some of the best accuracy around

[plush swift]

but even then camo is established as a thing that DOES exist

[dusky mango]

THE TAU USE SENSIBLE TACTICS AND STILL PAINT THEMSELVES IN EVERY COLOUR OF THE RAINBOW

(nearly)

[plush swift]

shoot me colors are worn largely by space marines among imperial units who DO get into melee a lot and need to be able to pinpoint their own men

[obtuse sinew]

and the IG

and SoB

[plush swift]

guardsmen often have very sensible colors, no

[dusky mango]

so when someone does not use camo, there is no point expecting them to use sensible armour either

[obtuse sinew]

oh yeah, the Mordians dressed in blue and red are so fucking sensible

or the uh

the fuckers in red coats

and white hats

[plush swift]

the mordians are specifically pointed out as being an exception not a rule

[dusky mango]

That applies to sororitas and SM I accept them both as being equally ridiculous and I love them both as they are

[dusky mango]

preatorians

[hasty sorrel]

mordians wear bright blue

[plush swift]

MORDIANS ARE SPECIFICALLY POINTED OUT AS THE EXCEPTION

[obtuse sinew]

hell, the Armageddon folks wear beige trench coats in a warzone filled with dirt and metal

[plush swift]

and it's not even bright blue

it's comparable to the french ww1 uniforms

[dusk hill]

Tbh iirc in fluff tau are meant to adjust the colours of their armour according to the area in which they're fighting. Like, if their Sept colour is white but they're fighting in a desert they'll paint it a sandy colour

[obtuse sinew]

the Catachans wear bright red headbands

[dusk hill]

So begone

[hasty sorrel]

its not an exception tho

[obtuse sinew]

and are mostly shirtless or sleeveless

[dusk hill]

We're still the reasonable ones

[dusky mango]

that was still way too bright a blue

[hasty sorrel]

there are legit pink and green regiments in lore

[obtuse sinew]

there's a group known as the Red Cowls because they wear bright red robes into battle

[dusky mango]

ah ok fair enough I didn't know that

[obtuse sinew]

yeah

[plush swift]

dress uniform or combat

[hasty sorrel]

combat

[plush swift]

i call bullshit

[dusky mango]

it is bullshit. its still there tho

[dusk hill]

I, for one, welcome our pink overlords

[hasty sorrel]

they also use laslocks

fucking

swag

[obtuse sinew]

wow

[dusk hill]

I say this in the absence of any apparent pink overlords cus I can spot them coming from four miles away

[plush swift]

and i still hate boob cup plate

it's not even cool

it's not sexier than regular armor, the opposite in fact

it's just shit

[crisp forge]

I mean again

everyone seems to think otherwise soooo

[plush swift]

everyone is wrong

[dusk hill]

I do airways lowkey appreciate when fem characters don't have it. Like, I don't hate it but idk

[obtuse sinew]

sexiness of armor will always be debatable

[dusk hill]

It's refreshing to just see ah yes reasonable armour

[obtuse sinew]

it's why ceremonial armor has had so many different types over the years

[plush swift]

armor is sexy because it's armor not because it enhances your secondary sexual characteristics

[hasty sorrel]

dick armour

[obtuse sinew]

^

[plush swift]

i did talk about codpieces before

they were also for purely ceremonial purposes

[hasty sorrel]

yes

[plush swift]

they weren't ubiquitous

[hasty sorrel]

guess what SOB armour is?

[plush swift]

and they weren't used at all times

and in all periods

[dusky mango]

look, the sororitas armour is ridiculous, u can either love it or hate it for that.

[hasty sorrel]

but they were used

[crisp forge]

I mean armor is sexy because its armor, case in point:

https://i.redd.it/jwl0vn2p6sy21.jpg

[plush swift]

err, definitely not ceremonial armor as they are shown fighting in it?

[crisp forge]

100% ceremonial

[dusk hill]

The one true valid form of armour is saxon chanmail, bedecked with hacksilver, talismans and cloaks

[plush swift]

i did say before, i am OKAY with the boob cup version being used for purely ceremonial purposes

it's dress uniform

[dusk hill]

Plate is for cowards

[plush swift]

but not on the battlefield

[void orchid]

space marine shoulder pads are ceremonial

[dusky mango]

something about that one line in TTS where allarus terminator armour is as sexy as wearing nothing

[crisp forge]

They literally bring the corpse of their founders to the battle in a ceremonial gravity-bed

so yeah

[hasty sorrel]

its ceremonial af

[crisp forge]

everything they do is kinda that

[dusky mango]

in 40k there is no difference. The battle is a cerominy

both in lore

[crisp forge]

^

[dusky mango]

and on the tabletop

[hasty sorrel]

just cause people wear it into combat doesnt stop it being ceremonial

[plush swift]

that's bullshit again

[dusk hill]

I meaaan

[plush swift]

written by someone who knows fuck all about fighting and combat and anything

[hasty sorrel]

its not actualy

[dusk hill]

If it's worn to combat its not ceremonial armour. It's combat armour with ceremonial significance

[dusky mango]

YES YES IT IS. but that bs is an inherent part of 40k

[hasty sorrel]

ceremonial garb worn to combat happens often in history especially among religious sects

[dusky mango]

I am no expert but I know more than fuck all

[dusk hill]

Not in my canon™️

[dusky mango]

exactly

[plush swift]

you CAN wear ceremonial armor into combat but both dress uniform and ceremonial armor are designed specifically with the intent not to go into combat.

which means not that they're totally ineffective

but that they're suboptimal

and usually they will be made with the thought in mind that a more optimized version for combat is being made, if it's needed at all

[hasty sorrel]

okay but there are people that do not understand that

see: religious armed groups who want to have a force that represents them

not necessarily an effective force

but one that displays their colours and their ideals through form

[plush swift]

again afaik SoBs are not a force for prolonged siege warfare, sniping and shit.

they go to close quarters, wreak havoc

[proud gorge]

sign me up

[plush swift]

bright colors as such are more excusable

[hasty sorrel]

if every military decision was done through logic instead of through tradition we wouldnt have had ww1 as a trench war

or 7.62 as a standardised round

[dusk hill]

The custodes is extremely pretty tbh

[obtuse sinew]

TRUE

[void orchid]

Ceremonial ammo size

[plush swift]

and if your entire purpose is to go into battle and wreak havoc, after 10k years you'd have figured out that your armor shapes should be optimized for battle

[hasty sorrel]

not when faith is your armour

and it actualy literaly is

[crisp forge]

^

again

also you gotta sell models irl soooo

[dusky mango]

astartes and terminator pauldrons

[crisp forge]

not gonna change unless its plastic marines

[hasty sorrel]

symbolism is power in 40k

[dusky mango]

YES

[plush swift]

and how do tits and heels symbolize overwhelming power in battle, then???

[crisp forge]

80's

[void orchid]

Cuz they daughters of the emporer

[crisp forge]

[dusk hill]

Man all faust is trying to argue is that its dumb that SoB battle armour is so weirdly suboptimal

And we're getting the weirdo faith powers brought up

[hasty sorrel]

cause everything SOB related is suboptimal

[void orchid]

Life is suboptimal

[plush swift]

they should have a normal cuirass that sits at the waist for mobility, at least space marines have their armor cinched at a reasonable spot

[dusky mango]

we agree. but believe that it should remain a part of their charachter. plesae correct me if i do not speak for u

[dusk hill]

The power of this fleur de lis nipple shall deflect heady ordnance

[hasty sorrel]

yes

literaly

[dusky mango]

if their faith is strong enough

[obtuse sinew]

tbh, it is dumb, but so is the fucking shape of space marine power armor in general. like, why do Space Marines have weird boot things?

[crisp forge]

space marines should be naked

[plush swift]

oh i hate those also.

[dusky mango]

Because the emperor wills it

[dusk hill]

Tbh good point why is that a thing

[obtuse sinew]

or why do Bolters not have a stock?

[plush swift]

i MUCH prefer what the custodes get

[dusky mango]

that is reserved for custodes

[dusk hill]

Their legs are b I g

[dusky mango]

power armour dampens recoil

[hasty sorrel]

why do space marines have weird abb armour on some models

[plush swift]

but like with space marines it's at least the silhouette

[obtuse sinew]

even still, a stock would help with aiming

or why do they wield fucking chainswords???

[dusky mango]

because the Sanguinary guard know how to make an entrance

[dusk hill]

Ab armour = just male boobplates

[hasty sorrel]

lmao

[dusk hill]

Optimal

[dusky mango]

The emperor shall guide your shot

[obtuse sinew]

lmao

[dusky mango]

yeah

[hasty sorrel]

some do

[plush swift]

it's true

[obtuse sinew]

abs and pecs

[dusk hill]

Don't talk to me if ur not dressed up like sigvald

Bare ass is NOT optional

[crisp forge]

[dusk hill]

U could peck an eye out

[obtuse sinew]

take those off and use them as the caps of missiles

[dusk hill]

Reminds me of those like

[plush swift]

the only thing that stops me from bashing sm armor is that at least it's an aesthetic that works. and it's like, it's such a mess you wouldn't even know where to start. whereas boob cups? obvious glaring mistake that can be corrected on otherwise more reasonable armor

[obtuse sinew]

as in, like, assless chaps?

[dusk hill]

Old pointed bras from the 60s or smthn

[crisp forge]

The sob's are equipped with ballistics

[dusk hill]

They aren't boobplates

They're emergency projectiles

[crisp forge]

^

none of you seen the Fembots from Austin Powers?

that shit is effective

[dusk hill]

Parry this you filthy heretic

[dusky mango]

astartes cannot reach anything above them and their vision behind them is restricted by their power packs

and don't get me started on terminators

[obtuse sinew]

yep

[crisp forge]

rip neck

[void orchid]

Ceremonial shoulderplates

[dusk hill]

Oh god terminators

The neck pain

They'd never recover

[void orchid]

Hunchy boy

[dusky mango]

their helmets also prevent them from looking down

[obtuse sinew]

Y'all ever just breaks spine

[void orchid]

So they can't even look down on their foes

[dusky mango]

of course

[obtuse sinew]

Honor til death

[dusky mango]

thats why they get stombolters

[void orchid]

Terminators look up to the eldar

[dusky mango]

they can't f*cking aim

[dusky mango]

they aren't that tall

are they?

[void orchid]

They are if it makes my joke work

[plush swift]

being a terminator is probably like wearing a bucket helm

but worse

[dusky mango]

also terminators can see about 30 degrees left and 30 degrees right. r.i.p situational awareness

[void orchid]

Situation: forward

Sitrep: dead ahead

[dusky mango]

the bucket helm is affixed to your shoulders and you have another helmet underneath it

[plush swift]

you would normally have another helmet under the bucket helm.

a skullcap was worn beneath it.

[hasty sorrel]

he means for terms

[dusky mango]

or you are a named charachter and have only the bucket helm

[plush swift]

yeah i know he does

more like

you have a bucket helm and a scaffolding over it

which prevents you from executing (already poor) head rotation

[dusky mango]

yeah that's a better version of what I said

much better

[crisp forge]

minigun go brrrrr

head go no

[dusky mango]

I'm just imagining the assault cannon rattling the terminator's head around with the recoil and I can feel the headache from here

[crisp forge]

I can too holy hell

might be mostly because i also played too much spacehulk

[obtuse sinew]

reminds me of the one cart with the minigun right above the driver's head

[hoary ermine]

plating shut the side of my malcadors to prepare them for the proper hover treatment

[dusky mango]

same

[dusky mango]

oof

[feral valley]

I'm wondering what I should start collecting once I finish the actual painting and assembly of this army of Squats

[feral valley]

Like do I move onto a Chaos army, or do I keep rolling with abhuman regiments

[dusky mango]

ah yeah the Invader ATV i think

[obtuse sinew]

yep

spot on

[dusky mango]

Also it should be called a quadbike not an ATV. ATV: all terrain vehicle. the ATV in the rules (as I remember them) notavehicle

[hoary ermine]

Armoring up my malcador sides for grav mounting

[dusky mango]

nice

[twilit cliff]

in all fairness nobody wants to stand within looking down distance from a termie

probably get stomped very quickly

[dusky mango]

true XD

[plush swift]

all terrain vehicle? an atv THAT low? that wouldn't survive our roads

[visual bolt]

@obtuse sinew ive got some more elf screams for you

[proud gorge]

Le Gasp

[plush swift]

emote pls

[visual bolt]

similar expression but its another scream so

not a scream but its worthy of sharing

[plush swift]

i currently only have the relatable expressions of my sergeant like

"what's ahead of us but more shit?"

and "god let it end already"

[hoary ermine]

looks great as usual

[obtuse sinew]

when you see the booty

[twilit cliff]

Draw the poor man a helmet next time, two sids of his face are busted

[plush swift]

oh fuck knows where the idiot left it

it's probably lying in a ditch with a hole in it tbh

i chose not to draw him with helmet or field cap here because i like drawing his hair though

[surreal iris]

GW just caused me to pay half again for a box of Space Marine Bike Squad

they had removed that model from their site, made it seem like it was out of production, so I went to ebay to buy one, there was only 1 left, for $20 extra, so I got it, and the just this morning received an email from GW about my question of the status of Bike Squads, and they said that they weren't out of production, just temporarily delayed and taken off, so I just wasted an extra $20 for nothing

[plain zenith]

Finished a custom Allarus Terminator for my Custodes army I'm working on

[trim hemlock]

Super late but it actually goes deeper than that. AOS Bel has normal human skulls on his wing chains but if you look closely on 40K Bel, some of those skulls have service studs or bionics. It's a really neat touch.

[fresh island]

and the arms too, but that might just be for preview

am i the only one who like hand down more than point hand?

he just looks infinitely more badass like this

[void orchid]

I like pointing at things

So I like pointing hand

It makes him relatable

[fresh island]

kek

[elfin yew]

O wew. I didn't notice. That's really cool.

[plain zenith]

There's also a hanging primaris helmet

Of a sergeant

[void orchid]

Instant good boi points for belakor

[shell yacht]

OH SHIT A 40K MODEL? I honestly thought it was an AoS model.

[hasty sorrel]

its both

[shell yacht]

I knew it

[plush swift]

it's convertible

[edgy cipher]

When the best 40k mini is only a good tier AoS one

[void orchid]

😂

Gottem

[elfin yew]

It's made for AoS

But as with the usual daemon things

AoS design team feeds 40k their good work

Well 'made for' as in, made for Be'lakor's plot and by the AoS team

Kinda like how the Keeper of Secrets was made with the Hedonites release, but is of course usable by 40k

[shell yacht]

Also speaking of models I gotta wait for the dollar store clay to dry on my Cadian model. And prepare yourselves, because it’s that to rival the Rouge Trader days.

[void orchid]

"can I copy your homework"

[plush swift]

it does look more aos than 40k

[vivid rune]

Well

Speaking of hedonites

[elfin yew]

40k design team must be wiping their brow as AoS carries daemons, another not-space marine faction they don't have to worry about

[vivid rune]

As an AoS player

My review of the battletome is "why the fuck did you make all these cool mortals if you literally didnt do anything with them in the battle tome"

Legit

[elfin yew]

Oog, Hedonites did get nerf batted pretty hard too, didn't they?

[vivid rune]

Not nerfed just rebalanced to not be incredibly unfun to play as and against

[elfin yew]

Ahh yee

[vivid rune]

Depravtyi generation feels a lot better

Yes the locus of diversion got changed and isnt as powerful but now its fun

Instead of "of you didnt make your save, so you dont get to fight back now....die"

[elfin yew]

Very nice

[vivid rune]

My pprobem is

Not a single stratagem is focused on the mortals

Theres no support for the mortals really

And

The new shooting units are good, but any strat that effects attacks kinda forgot to include the shooting units

So theyres literally no support for them at all

Slaangors

Are a joke

[elfin yew]

Oof

That's a shame

Such pretty models

[vivid rune]

They dont even have the "beast of chaos" keyword so you cant use anything from that battle tome for them

[elfin yew]

[vivid rune]

I did some numbers, chaos warriors are a better choice if you wanted to mortals than the pain bringers or twinsouls for competitive purposes

[edgy cipher]

Aos Design team (Chad doge) : We're going to remake this undivided chaos daemon lord as majestic and terrifying as possible
40k Design team (domge) : We should do another primaris lieutenant but with more scopes so he is cooler

[elfin yew]

I like to imagine that it was AoS team that decided to put the dead primaris down as part of the conversion

[edgy cipher]

Nah they looked at the mini and they said : damn it looks as basic as the guardiands and tyranids they used for terrain for heroes, we should pick that

[elfin yew]

SDFN

Every like

3 weeks, AoS comes out with a new release that makes me go

"Oh I should build that faction too"

I can only imagine how Powerful 40k would be if it followed the same formula

[edgy cipher]

I think I understand now

[vivid rune]

Legit

I only like orks

Thats it

The marines are boring as fuck

[edgy cipher]

They must have a mole at GW at recruitment HR that's whole job is to make sure GW doesn't get too strong else they take the UK entirely

[vivid rune]

And everyrhing else is "thatd be cool to collect if the models werent old and shitty"

[hasty sorrel]

GW mega corp rise up

i want my cyberpunk futue

plug me into the plastic minis

[elfin yew]

GW should and MUST own the entirety of britain by 2026

[vivid rune]

AoS for me is "of fuck thats another army i want to collect"

[void orchid]

Britain is turned into a plastic megafortress

Ireland made in finecast

[hasty sorrel]

oh no

we lost the definition of ireland during the sanding process

[void orchid]

Just freehand the borders later

[edgy cipher]

Story repeating itself again by Ireland doing a huge air bubble

[vagrant siren]

Now after seeing that new Be’lakor model, i want to start gathering and collecting chaos, but i still have such a backlog

Inquisition emoji? Who called the inquisitor? I'm definitely not joining chaos

I swear

[plush swift]

👀

[obtuse sinew]

damn, that is pretty gnarly work

[plush swift]

thank you, that's the intention

[dusk hill]

good stuff

[plush swift]

pure lineart in hd too

[shell yacht]

Ooo...

[fresh island]

ooh ah ooh ow my bones

[surreal iris]

My models after the 3rd session painting

[uncut olive]

Nice.

[warm willow]

The first of many stubborn flashlight holders. How'd I do?

[hasty sorrel]

green

[sand tulip]

a quick drybrush with lighter colors may really work here

[hasty sorrel]

Looks good, my suggestion would however be to maybe highligh some of the edges of the lasgun and uniform if u have some lighter greens

just to pick out some of the edges and details

some examples from my wip stuff

the red armoue is highlighted on edges, the grey uniform is drybrushed

[hasty sorrel]

ofc up to you if u wanna spend the time to do this for every guardsman (trust i did it for 50 and i still don't know if it was worth it) but hope this helps

[dusk hill]

It's p easy to quickly highlight big batches of models if u just whack them with a drybrush

Works well for me

nice colors

[hasty sorrel]

thx

[twilit cliff]

Why did you post a close up of your fingers?

[hoary ermine]

Scaling temies is hard

But i did it

[trim hemlock]

Perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel?

[hasty sorrel]

plz be nids

[tacit chasm]

Jokes on you, that's a bit that decorate the base for a new primaris model

[hasty sorrel]

its gonna be demons

but plz be nids

[obtuse sinew]

;-;

[edgy cipher]

It's another tyranic veteran primaris sike

[hasty sorrel]

makes me think of the trygon prime

https://images.dakkadakka.com/s/i/gallery/img/2011/1/5/169991.JPG

highly doubt its nids but id love it to be

[grizzled stump]

Its gonna be a new AoS model

[hasty sorrel]

[elfin yew]

That does remind me of nid tails

[edgy cipher]

Tyranids need that love rn

[crisp forge]

Im actually gonna scream if its another nid corpse

lol

[elfin yew]

Lets consult the chart

[edgy cipher]

Too little info

[hasty sorrel]

fuck

its aos

the chart never lies

;(

[elfin yew]

But legit, hopefully its a nid release and not just 1 model

[crisp forge]

We know GW. Its gonna be 1 model.

[edgy cipher]

Guard moment

[crisp forge]

Did they even tease the new necron releases with rumor engine stuff?

[rare solstice]

one thing GW might do for moneys, is make all the horde troops choices like the recent poxwalkers

nids certainly have hoardes so it's possible you'd get a few releases

[edgy cipher]

You mean the heavy necron destroyers Dilara ?

[rose sluice]

szeras was in a rumour engine i think

[edgy cipher]

Or their new monolith ?

[crisp forge]

Oh basically any new model they got from their updated range

if they did it like that id have some hope for nids

even though i kinda doubt GW would do something like that again for the next 10 years

[edgy cipher]

I mean the necrons got a lot of new minis

24 releases without counting the new flayed ones

[crisp forge]

Yeee its just that i doubt they'd do anything like that again anytime soon

especially for xenos

with primaris it can be any day of the week

[elfin yew]

You know, the tail couls also belong to some new daemon models. Since AoS usually releases more than just a hq, could be Be'lakors lot

Kinda like how Sigvald came with the new slaanesh models

[crisp forge]

Yeee thats a good point

and slaanesh models love that crescent type shapes

[edgy cipher]

Please can we clone the AoS design team and make them do 40k minis ?

[hasty sorrel]

i did say its proba demon

[plush swift]

I mean, we have had cool releases. The void dragon and the silent king come to mind.

And AoS has had some that are hit or miss.

[elfin yew]

Yeah but AoS constantly sends em out

And in variety

[edgy cipher]

Yeah but the average of AoS is far more solid

• GW feels obligated to give us atleast 30% of all 40k releases to be primaris

And I hate it

[elfin yew]

More like 60% at this rate

[edgy cipher]

It was 30 indeed

Unless I need to get the chart

32%

[elfin yew]

O lord

[plush swift]

Hopefully the new necron range means that the xenos as a whole will get some more love.

[elfin yew]

Unlikely so far

[tacit chasm]

GW everytime a xeno player gets his hopes up:

[elfin yew]

Drukhari only getting what like

That 1 hq

[plush swift]

I just want consistent tau melee.

All I want for christmas is a non-relic version of the fusion blades.

[elfin yew]

I dont think GW knows what to do with the tau on a rules level

Iirc the new codex stuff got previewed by a high tau gamer and he didnt like it

[plush swift]

They don't have a melee or psychic phase, so they either make their shooting busted or suck ass.

It just seems like a nightmare of a design since new players should play factions that use as many of the phases as possible.

[rare solstice]

gotta give them road blocks, the melee doesn't have to be good, just able to soak/hold up units

[elfin yew]

Honestly 40k just needsa revanp of rules in general. Less crunch more fluff good

Its why AoS probably has the best TT of any setting

Legit every army has whacky "op" abilities which are fun and fluffy

[plush swift]

Yeah. I don't personally like sisters, but I like the miracle dice mechanic.

[elfin yew]

Yeee! Newer armies are getting more interesting

[plush swift]

Those and orders for IG are probably some of my favorite rules.

[elfin yew]

AdMech canticles and Genestealer ambush are a step in the right direction I think

[tacit chasm]

I find the command protocols of necrons a bit underwhelming to be honnest

Quite hard to have them pop at the right moment a few tools to help you do so

But I like the concept of it

[elfin yew]

One of the big reasons Im shifting my play army to GSC is because, imo, they have the most fluffy army ability in the game

And its Neat

[plush swift]

I am not super good with necron command protocols. What's the deal with them?

[elfin yew]

And a bunch of stratagems that revolve around it

[edgy cipher]

Yep

[plush swift]

Imagine having a flavorful army system that's fun to use. cries in markerlights

[crisp forge]

is markerlights actually a term for the tau laserpointers in 40k?

[plush swift]

Yep.

[crisp forge]

i always thought it was a joke since it sounds so... Not-Sci-Fi lol

but hey if it works

[plush swift]

Imagine having to roll to aim a laserpointer.

[hasty sorrel]

you mean like ig?

[elfin yew]

But you get checks palm free overwatch too!

[hasty sorrel]

[elfin yew]

Very exciting

[crisp forge]

stuff like tihs makes me glad i dont play tabletop

i dont even know what any of this means

DKFDSJ

[elfin yew]

Meanwhile, in AoS, Daemons of Tzeentch getting 9 free-set roll dice, like divinity wizards, a daemon summoning system, and "Agents of Anarchy" goals

[tacit chasm]

You have to define which protocol will happens at which turn before the battle and you can't really change them once battle started.
So if you have a command for turn 2 that improve your melee but you failed to charge, it is essentially useless and you can't do anything about it

[elfin yew]

Or Starborn Seraphon and their "We teleport constantly" memes

[plush swift]

That sounds cool if it works, but that seems a bit rigid.

I have a hard time thinking of really cool, flavorful rules for tau at this point.

Like, I can't think of something flavorful enough with tau lore that would work on the tabletop.

[hasty sorrel]

theres nothing

[elfin yew]

Think the other way around, make rule ideas, then justify fluff after

[hasty sorrel]

tau boring and stinky

[elfin yew]

That's how GW does it iirc

[plush swift]

Well, the little amount of lore we get for them now makes it harder and harder for me to disagree.

[elfin yew]

Phil Kelly about to make a ethereal eat a baby

[plush swift]

Oh God. Phil Kelly is a nightmare.

His writing is part of the reason people see tau as mary sues.

I can't look at Kais the same ever again.

[hasty sorrel]

haha

[crisp forge]

Can confirm

[elfin yew]

Phil Kelly: Ruining the Tau for literally everyone involved.

LUL

[plush swift]

I was hyped for the Farsight books, but after reading them, I wish they were never written.

[crisp forge]

idk why but that meme never gets old

[elfin yew]

It's pretty golden

[hasty sorrel]

tau are meant to be this young plucky upstart faction who try and punch far above their weight

and think they are super sly, but are mostly getting by because people arent paying attention

its literally stealing cookies from the cookie jar

and i love that idea

[plush swift]

Farsight Enclaves are one of the few factions in the tau that understand that.

[hasty sorrel]

its just every time its delivered they fall flat

[elfin yew]

GW's continual delivery of "If you're not human, you're bad."

[hasty sorrel]

not even that

everyone is bad

i have no problem with that side of things

[elfin yew]

Oh I mean bad in the "Sucks" kind of way

[hasty sorrel]

its the just

[elfin yew]

Ex: Eldar

[hasty sorrel]

weirdness of how it is handled for tau i guess?

its inconsistent, and sure GW are known for inconsistencies but they tend to have a base layer for a faction that is a set foundation to work from

i think the issue is making a faction based around political intrigue work in a combat tabletop wargame

[crisp forge]

I mean Tau arent the Covenant either

people act like they got a "no other race so kill em all" policy

[hasty sorrel]

theres a contradiction there that rears its head every time someone touches the lore

[plush swift]

I just got tired of things like "A single Ghostkeel unit fucks up an entire chapter" or "Bravestorm is actually able to survive outside his suit." These things make no sense lore-wise.

[hasty sorrel]

i think this comes about because there is divergence within the race but they have handled it weirdly

[elfin yew]

Invincible protagonist syndrome occurs in like

Every faction that isn't tyrannids

[hasty sorrel]

old one eye is still alive

[elfin yew]

Well damn

[crisp forge]

kill him already

aaaaaa

[elfin yew]

FDHNF

[crisp forge]

KDFSFDS

[hasty sorrel]

lmao

proud

correct me if im wrong

but when u setup tau you choose a caste

as their sort of equivilant of chapters/regiments right?

[elfin yew]

You choose a sept world!

It's their chapter tactics yee

[plush swift]

Yeah.

[hasty sorrel]

alright

[plush swift]

Including the Enclaves.

[hasty sorrel]

so it is full sept worlds

[elfin yew]

Pretty much all of the core septs + Enclaves

And then custom

[hasty sorrel]

in which case im unsure where the confusion comes from, because a lot of the divergent thought is world dependant

i.e. the sterilisation thing from Jericho reach

[elfin yew]

It's because most of the divergent stuff comes from new lore + septs that aren't actually playable

Like

Jericho's reach can only be found in that ttrpg sidebook FHJNJFN

[hasty sorrel]

yup

i guess tis the 15 hours issue

tjeres a single battlefield where guard live for 15 hours

now thats the lore for all guard since

[elfin yew]

P much

[edgy cipher]

The memes are embraced at this point

[hasty sorrel]

i think my issue with how tau are handled is they are shown in 1 of 2 ways

one is this divine empire almost, where they have been right in most of their guessing and have made a net gain across all of their moves despite the oponents they take on, and have only brough improvements to an area

if they arent shown as such then its the complete other side of the spectrum

brain slug n all

which like

there can be that divergence within the faction, but thats never what it is

[elfin yew]

It's because you have early lore, and then phil kelly grimderpification era. And instead of reconciling the two, they just fucking bashed them together like the circle going into the square hole

[hasty sorrel]

its either shown as a whole one way or the other

[plush swift]

The big problem is the ethereals I think.

[elfin yew]

The funny part is that Ethereals have been depicted as just straight good guys too.

Aun'Shi is probs the best example.

[plush swift]

Aun'Shi is a special case overall.

[elfin yew]

So whatever GW does, they now have to reconcile the fact that there are good ethereals who live.

[edgy cipher]

Really ?

[plush swift]

Even Farsight likes him.

[edgy cipher]

"Kill yourself"

[elfin yew]

Yeah, Aun'Shi is a chad.

LUL

[edgy cipher]

That's not what a good guy would say

[plush swift]

Most ethereals are shown as either incompetent or outright dicks.

[elfin yew]

Even Aun'Va was, on average, a good dude.

Atleast until the aunva kys incident FHJNFN

But yeah, there's alot of ethereals, it seems there could be divergence within them

They even disagree on things

[plush swift]

I mostly remember how they felt about Farsight's actions before he ditched the empire.

Whenever he got close to pushing the orkz back, he would be told to stop for no good reason.

And the first time he followed these orders, it ended up in disaster.

[elfin yew]

In Last of Kiru's line, it probably has one of the better depictions of a ethereal not being a mustache twirler

In which Aun'Va genuinely like, cares for and helps Shadowsun through her sisters' deaths

He pretty much just seems like Caring Grandpa.mp4

That book also says tau blood = blue which is mildly hilarious

[hasty sorrel]

[elfin yew]

It's colbalt.

Currently setting up an army

That ain't easy

I might go for a 2 detachment army

[edgy cipher]

So I was thinking , as IG i'm planning to go with a battalion and a speahead detachment, batallion going for agile warriors and disciplined shooters and have the speahead go spotter details and gunnery expert.
My batallion would have a flanking unit made out of 2 command squads with plasmas and one of the commanders to give them the sweet double plasma and maybe enjoy having 8 guys going with 32 plasma shots to anything too threatening

[edgy cipher]

Army 's ready and in the suitcase, I'm ready its gamer time

[edgy cipher]

I pray it doesn't suck too hard

I have some tanks, I have some infantry, my bullgryn deathball, it should be enough

Looking for a white primer, is army painter matt white primer any good?

Its in stock at a local little store and was thinking of picking it up

[plush swift]

Corax white for me is the best

[vagrant siren]

Yeye, i would get it but its out of stock online and the only gw shop is in the middle of town centre, where there is no parking :P

[plush swift]

Oh

[vagrant siren]

FML

[hasty sorrel]

afraid i can't advise, i only use black primer

[plush swift]

@vagrant siren it is not bad. you may need to do a few passes if they are bigger models

also what are you working on that is white

[vagrant siren]

Nothing in particular really, just curious on what peeps here think abt it

[dusk hill]

army painter stuff has worked for me reliably, haven't tried white primer from them tho

[plush swift]

I did a small 500 pts of snow kroots with it

[dusk hill]

personally i'd favour light grey the vast majority of the time anyways, unless the model is gonna be vast majority white anyways. do have a friend who's been thinking of experimenting with like, headass priming individual limbs and stuff in white by themselves and attaching them to the model primed in black or whatever

cus if the colour scheme has both super dark colours and super bright colours doing it in all the same primer is a pain in the ass

[plush swift]

my bud does that with his ultwe. I cannot fathom gluing a primed model.

[vagrant siren]

So something like grey seer? Since after a bit more searching i found one at my local little store ™️ not GW ™️ ©️

[dusk hill]

yea i think grey seer would work pretty well, it's used a lot for contrast paints

what kind of colour scheme are you going for?

[vagrant siren]

Honestly any, im thinking about grabbing some rubric marines and doing some chaos. I'm still half-new so i'm just trying to get a general consensus

(Sorry if that made no sense at all, english is my first language but i suck at it)

[dusk hill]

! makes sense! Rubric marines should be fine with a black or darker primer imo, their normal colour scheme is like uh. dark blue and gold-ish right

[plush swift]

Marissa, espagnol ou francais?

[dusk hill]

The colour of the primer should depend on what you're painting over it. Like, it varies, not one colour is always the best

[vagrant siren]

So a little bit of grey, and some white. Got it! I'll pick some up then. I already have a black for those darker ones

[vagrant siren]

I wish. I wish

[edgy cipher]

Well like Ratty said you can't go wrong with light grey

[vagrant siren]

So, despite the fact that I've yet to finish painting my Salamanders, and that I'm currently $100 below my budget, I'm already looking at the possibility of getting a 2nd army, kinda want the Tyranids, and a unit I really want is a Biovore, I remember some people complaining about them, just how are they?

[dusk osprey]

In 8th edition they were pretty strong, dunno how they are in 9th though.

[lament nymph]

Ooh, can commanders give plasmas double the shots? I thought FrfSrf was only for lasguns

[proper harbor]

How did you get the color so even and flat across the whole thing though

[uncut olive]

Just finished basing these Dark Angels. I think there down now

[lapis tundra]

Nice work! Maybe use blood for the blood god or red paint mixed with some kind of gloss varnish for the blood next time tho

But thats just me beeing nitpicky for no reason

[uncut olive]

No it’s fine. Thanks for the advice. Does that make the blood look more shiny or?

[lapis tundra]

Yeah

[uncut olive]

Ah

[lapis tundra]

Like somebody just got violently murdered

[uncut olive]

Maybe the next time I grab some Orks I’ll grab some of that and make look right and bloody

What kind of gloss varnish works best for that?

[lapis tundra]

I just went with blood for the blood god, not even sure if gloss varnish+red will even work tbh. Maby red ink and gloss varnish works but honestly im not a reliable source for that.

[uncut olive]

Ah

[lapis tundra]

Wait a sec il do some research on that

Ok yeah so apparently red ink seem like the way to go

Or blood for the blood god but gw is quite expensive

[grizzled stump]

Hey does anybody have any advice on how to paint human eyes on models?

I'm looking at this guy going I cant just leave them blank

[hasty sorrel]

white

[void orchid]

I typically try to paint the pupil first, and then add the white around it, and then the flesh tone of the face around the whites of the eye

Working outward like this (rather than inward-doing the pupil and whites after the rest of the face) means you have a bit more control over how small you can make the details

There's some tutorials you can probably find on youtube for some examples

[lapis tundra]

So what works the best imo is to paint the eyes black, then white but leaving the black in the recesses and then a small dot of black in the middle for the pupil

Or try to follow this https://youtu.be/ER7f-W-BHVg

[grizzled stump]

So I used the GW tutorial for faces and got this so far

Not too bad so far

But Chaplin might have been right to do the eyes first

Heres to hoping I can steady these shaky ol' hands

but psybolt on your chimeras and riflenoughts And crusaders covering your acolyte squads made it for a fun army to play. I won and lost many fun matches.

[edgy cipher]

Sadly power players are a thing

And I was still IG

[plush swift]

IG was fun to play with / against

i have found a solution to my UR-025 robot issue

<im using UR-025's as kataphron servitors and i want to replace their guns>

the issue is that im either buying 3 monoliths

or im buying 10 heavy destroyers

[plush swift]

or Bits website?

[summer pawn]

Oh, didnt know that, me, i dont want to play competitive so idc XD

[vivid rune]

They can wipe super ez right now, best shooting in the entire game atm

[plush swift]

i use to do a lot of kroot conversion @hoary ermine. ebay is friend

[vivid rune]

Harleys are also S tier because of their objective control, super fast speed, and hard to hit nature

[hoary ermine]

im aware how to get my bits dw

i also have access to a lightly illegal 3d folder

[vivid rune]

And sisters are s tier due to miracle dice being broken right now

Honorable mentions are deathguard and dark angels

All marines are a high A to mid A

[plush swift]

oh ok. then if you want to buy the kit, 10 x destroyers offer more bits for future conversions @hoary ermine

[hoary ermine]

Yeah im looking at my optionsw

[plush swift]

@vivid rune where are inqui in the meta rn?

[vivid rune]

Wdym inquisition, like as an army?

[plush swift]

yop

[vivid rune]

Imperial agents are kinda just a soup you throw in guard i assume like they were in 8th, i have no clue i wasnt even aware you could play them by themselves lol

[plush swift]

you could until this year kinda.

[vivid rune]

Huh

[plush swift]

now with the whole no more than 3 rule, you are super limited

[vivid rune]

Ive never seen anyone go to a tourniment in 9th with them as a list

Ahhh

[plush swift]

that is what i was asking. I built my list early 8th then just kept loosing capabilities.

[summer pawn]

Too cuz i gonna recast them to add xenotech

[vivid rune]

Ah

It might be fun to soup them with a deathwatch list

And cheaper than souping with guard

[plush swift]

@vivid rune I use a bunch of palanite enforcers as my henchmen. they are equiped with bolters and look mean already

[vivid rune]

Nice

[twilit cliff]

I can't be the only one that doesn't like the way palanite enforcers look

the big circles on their chests and wide stripes on their shoulders

they're too eyecatching for something that doesn't even look interesting

[vivid rune]

@twilit cliff thats why i want to kitbash them to look like dredd

[twilit cliff]

what did you use?

im honestly thinking if started kitbashing those id eventually just get rid of the model entirely

bar maybe the arms

scratch that, i dont like those bold gauntlets or whatever they have

[shell yacht]

I... I think they look cool.

[twilit cliff]

and that's fair

[shell yacht]

Plus I think that Astartes cops are neat.

[green cave]

Probably not the only one, but probably in the minority of people

[vivid rune]

Literally just printed dredd helmets and the funny sholderpad he has and slap it on
