For Mkoll??
hasty sorrel
buuut given how AoS is handling weapons now n stuff i doubt it :(
hasty sorrel
big nut
lotta attacks as well
man its so cool seeing them do IG justice cause like
its not individual people its a teams till
hasty sorrel
but they are all unique
edgy cipher
Which is also great for tactics
Who's gon take the wounds first ?
What's better to keep, betetr cover or -1 CP on stratagem per battle round ?
Should Gaunt take one for the team ?
"The eagle-eyed among you will notice that the Gaunt’s Ghosts datasheet has the Officio Prefectus keyword – as such, due to the Advisors and Auxiliaries rule, they won’t ever benefit from such Regimental Doctrines themselves. But worry not! The Gaunt’s Ghosts datasheet itself already accounts for the Tanith’s stealthy nature and the models within it (with perhaps the exception of ‘Try Again’ Bragg), are all already expert shots."
hasty sorrel
thats great honestly
if they handle heroes n stuff like that going forwards they can be unique without fucking balance
hasty sorrel
what does he do?
edgy cipher
He is among the tankiest but arguably the weakest chracter
He gives fight last
Which was nerfed 3 days ago
So if the enemy charges you they still get the advantage
hasty sorrel
fair
edgy cipher
I mean, maybe Ghost but he is such a monster in melee
I'd rather have the CP bonus , the bonus save and the ignore cover
Oh I forgot
tiny cairn
I like the rules they got but I wish you could split them up
median pumice
Why do that when they can release a new ig codex in 6 months where you can do just that
tiny cairn
What I want to see for guard is being able to install characters into an infantry squad
edgy cipher
Heh but why would you do that ?
tiny cairn
Something tells me having a sniper and heavy weapon in the same unit as gaunt with his sword might not be ideal, also sad that they have him using chainsword instead of his powersword
But I guess they want no spoilers whatsoever on the model even though that's like in the 3rd book
edgy cipher
I mean you can choose who shoots at what
They don't have to all shoot at the same target
tiny cairn
Yeah but you aren't going to snipe targets when you are engaged in melee
It's like giving one guy a sniper and one a shotgun, it synergetic in real life, not so much on the tabletop
tiny cairn
Yeah he's got a buttload of attacks but ideally you wouldn't be putting Larkin or brag into melee
For 135 pts you can't complain too much though
hasty sorrel
yeah
tiny cairn
Cause that's alota rules for only 135 pts
edgy cipher
Yeah Gaunts aren't made to go melee
Guards don't
They suck at it
And I'm sure thats why gaunt wasn't given a power sword
hasty sorrel
sad

Grand robes would look good

If you put clothing on him you might want to tighten up the face a bit and the legs a tad

Thing is, as Chicago said, the leg gap is a bit too wide

Leg gap is a bit wide but I was more talking about the individual bits on the legs themselves necrons are a bit thinner with like wires poking around

i dont know if the gap is still too wide but the leg sugestion was good

The leg gap can work if you are going for like the crouching necron kinda look

hes suposed to be a bit creepy psychomancer so hes a bit slouched

You just need to makem hunch over a bit for that to work I think
Are you gonna givem a staff of some sort?

yeah, im not sure if i should go for a custom look for the staff or not

You gonna 3d print this or just for fun/some sort of other use?

@edgy cipher I recently tried CWE and my howling banshees got killed in melee by kabalites 😫
Theyre so pointy
Everything drukhari have hurts in both melee and range
I also had 2 carnifexes get bunted to death by trueborn

2 attacks per model +blade artists means that even kabalites will beat you to death in melee compared to most 'shoot' troops

tbh it's p reasonable
allows u to put more detail into the weapons, plus generally that's always been the proportions GW has functioned at
exaggerated features
hasty sorrel
They'd prob be smaller if they got updated
cause they can do smoll arrows n stuff now

They kinda did it right with these guys tho https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/920x950/99120202019_PistoliersNEW02.jpg

those are still p big for pistols

FUCKING GREENSKINS AAAAAAAAA
hasty sorrel
They kinda did it right with these guys tho https://www.games-workshop.com/resou...
ye those are the actual pistol models thats why
They don't have as much detail tho
but its pretty standard for heroes to have a 2h in 1h like the tank commander with the repeater rifle, so they can display what weapons they have for the purpose of rules
like how dwarves hold grudge rackers in 1 hand on the engineer

I mean these pistols were pretty large irl too

crisp forge
in Fantasy they fit the gritty aspect really well, with AOS tone it might be more difficult
hasty sorrel
I think the issue is they have the look now that they want to go for, its alleviated a bit by alt paint schemes (the gold is honestly one of the worst parts of it, they look like diablo models most of the time)
lapis tundra
Kinda worried that they will look like the bloodbowl team, it did have a few cool elements like the maximilian cuirass but they didnt really hit the empire vibe imo

Yeah i got faith in the studio though
the AOS models have been killer lately

@hoary ermine Arc maul please.
You can make it look crazy too like some kind of Tesla coil shit.
hoary ermine
I really wanted an axe tbh
But i dont like the cog mechanica
Im highly considering making an arc maul/spear axe combination
Since skitarii are allowed to edit their weapons to their liking
sour hill
Ooooo
That sounds dope!
I need to make myself my axes/icon of Khorne as well
That I'll be wearing around for mine.
hoary ermine
Or maybe a combination transonic short halberd and sidearm sword

Since i want a combi volkite

Neat
dusk hill
i'm unsure of how you'd make that vibe admechy
the most distinct bit for me is the like, almost all of their weapons have something like this above the grip
that's how i identify admech weaponry, plus with the grip itself usually being sorta patterned in some capacity

huh what's cool about cities?
vivid rune
Weve also gotten a new city with every single broken realms book
vivid rune
*there u go old fans u have ur og armies now stfu*
Theyre actually really fun to play and every single city has a distinct play style that favors certain units in the model line, with the best cities doing that while also not restricting you to choose those favored units
Multiple cities too in lore are strongholds made by certain order factions so cities like Settlers Gain can take Lumineth as auxiliary troops and Har Kuron can take the muder witches
Living city can take the tree people
My favorite city is Greywater fastness because its just firepower
Pure
Dwarven
Firepower
lapis tundra
Im not a huge fan of them allying with their old enemies tbh but since you arent forced to cotain any id'd just do that
vivid rune
If you wanted a frontline force of pissed off dwarfs backed up by their cannons AND human hellrocket batteries and such. Greywater is perfect
You dont even need to put elves in the list
Why have fast moving elves when you can instead field GYROCOPTER
with payloads of bombs
Greywater fastness is just the balthazar gelt meme as a faction @lapis tundra
I love it so much
obtuse sinew
neat
dusk hill
idk i feel that one looks a lil top heavy
if it's meant to be part maul and part axe i feel the axe blade needs to be more lowkey
obtuse sinew
solution: gravity tech in the head
hoary ermine
i think the uh
maul is better suited to attach to the back of the ax head
and then not have the blade there
dusk hill
ye i think that's the best approach here
hoary ermine
Hmm
looking at many guns the mechanici have right now...
is the lex still fucked?
seems like it somehow
hoary ermine
the thing doesnt load very well
green cave
Oh, yeah, i noticed that too... It is that by quite some time, but it is only slow... Sometime it go back to normal speed
hoary ermine
ive got a few weapons which i do like for my skitarii
edgy cipher
So you're just going for an omnissian axe without the dagger then ?
hoary ermine
im going to take a look at what i fancy
many skitarii edit their gear over the years to fit their needs as they ascend
green cave
I heard that, and i have no way to doubt it, but i still haven't found the source, do you know where it is stated?
hoary ermine
i have only heard it comes from the older books
thing is
it makes a lot of sense
The radium pistol is the product of a skitarii trying to shorten his rifle into a carbine-style weapon
green cave
Indeed, although still within the sacred proscription of the Ad. Mech., and since the lore about the skitarii is quite recent it cannot be too much...
I mean, in the old days they were pretty much servitors lol
hoary ermine
they realized there was a remnant datapool inside the radium carbine's processor plate
<yes carbining a weapon thats named carbine is weird but remember that the weapon isnt actually a carbine>
edgy cipher
They still are for the most part
hoary ermine
Depends on the forgeworld
edgy cipher
A lot of tech-priests like to keep them on a tight leash
hoary ermine
every skitarii has the overmind/overcontroller implant
it is only removed once they ascend to marshal
or skip and go to priest directly
Become explorators/w/e
green cave
I'm pretty sure that alpha too aren't on a tight leash... And it doesn't really make sense the overmind stuff imo
hoary ermine
Alpha's are without the overhanging control module always active
normal skitarii are always shackled to the protocols of their leading domini but can act of their own accord
green cave
I find that part of skitarii lore dumb, and i cannot wait for its retcon
hoary ermine
The reason Domini are so fucked up and wear secondary brains is to purely process the input from the 100 skitarii below them
edgy cipher
I find that part of skitarii lore dumb, and i cannot wait for its retcon
That's 40k lore for you

Oh right its that section of the lore called Space Marines
super dumb
give me my beefcake daddies god fucking damnit
green cave
Like, with skitarii marshal, that is so nice... It also make a lot of sense
hoary ermine
It looks so cool btw
theyre really trippleing down on the Roman/Greek Davinci style
green cave
Before it was "yeah, skitarii are the personal armies of tech priests, and they command them like puppets", now we are getting a more reasonable armed force of the Ad. Mech., with internal ranks and roles...
hoary ermine
Hell even to the point of a sword on their left side
Oh ill tell you an even better one on that
green cave
I like the division that, to me, is being created, it make a lot of sense
hoary ermine
We know 10 x more
about the adeptus mechanicus structure
than we ever have on that of space marines
green cave
Also lets remember that there is also the titan guard, they too are really nice
green cave
theyre really trippleing down on the Roman/Greek Davinci style
Agree, the marshal is amazing, an huge improvement over the abomination that are the pteraxi and the archeotopter
The Ad. Mech. always got my interest because tech and knowledge are big part of them, but only recently (read from 7th edition forward), with the expansion and improvement of skitarii lore i started really looking into them...

and now here we are, like 10+ books in

I think what makes it good is that Dan is a good character writer
So even where the story slips a bit he makes some great people that make the setting believable

okay so
the skitarii will have a personal axe/maul combo as shown before
but these are the weapons ive selected that i like

How
hoary ermine
i can combine them,.... its been done before lorewise
oh
galvanic rifles have a more western theme
look and feel
green cave
You have an axe with a maul
green cave
Ah, that theme
Well, if it is part of an explorator group then yeah, galvanic rifle would look better than a radium one... Maybe a galvanic carbine would eve be better
thorn herald
I like it its like Bioshock 40k
thorn herald
never hear of inq28 is that an artist or another game?
hoary ermine
Its a form of warhammer modelling
used to be a variant of boardgaming
at 58mm scale
so like, double the model size
elfin yew
@edgy cipher Do you know how modifiers to wounds interact with "On a [x]+ wound, deals MW" things because like
So Gift From Beyond gives a +2 to wounds, which I figured would be capped at a +1
Making the rifle do a MW on a 5+
But Goonhammer's tactics page for GSC reads otherwise, same for belloflost souls
if they take any damage from him (including the mortal wound) they take an immediate Perils of the Warp. He can be further improved with a relic sniper which gives him +2 to wound rolls, making that MW (and thus the perils) go off on a 4+.
edgy cipher
Give me 5 minutes at best and I'll solve it

I'd really like Sanctus' to be alright against non-psykers
I don't see them having much of a place against armies without them
I suppose you could run one with the dagger against tau and just rush down characters with voidwyrm amulet
elfin yew
Pretty much they auto-trigger perils on psykers with their rifle
They can also be taken with a dagger and have a strategy that lets them rush down stuff rlly quickly if they want, but will be stopped by like, a littl ebit of screening
elfin yew
Their rifle also does a D3 of damage, so very possible they just detonate a psyker
edgy cipher
That stratagem ? : Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a SANCTUS unit is chosen to move. Until the end of that phase, when that unit Advances, add 6" to its Move characteristic until the end of that phase instead of making an Advance roll. In addition, until the end of the turn, that unit can be chosen to charge with even if they Advanced this turn.

They also get Perfect Ambush for free, so they can shoot someone twice then dissapear again to use it again if the ywant

I wonder if new codices will bring more stuff like D3+3 in

I noticed most drukhari units that hit hard do D3+3 or 2 damage or such

which is a nice way to balance it

80 attacks, more with buffs
edgy cipher
I feel you, this is why I've switched to flamer
Just in case
If it worked on sphess mhrens
It must on drukh
- that would dissuade them from charging
elfin yew
Flamers are amazing
edgy cipher
Since Guards get 2 overwatch
elfin yew
I've had some good success with clearance incinerators on goliaths, since I refuse to give up the rockgrinder despite its flaws
edgy cipher
Do you know what is pyro guard ?
elfin yew
That sounds legendary
hasty sorrel
👀
elfin yew
I've been trying to figure out reliable ways to kill archons too, since they have that 2+ invuln shadowfield
edgy cipher
- Spotter details to reroll all those D6s
elfin yew
Considering using my patriarch, who's gonna be in the thick of it anyways, to have mental onslaught since he has 10 Ld
edgy cipher
Yeah invuls above 4++ is bullshit
elfin yew
At least it bursts on a 1 but It feels like I sometimes drop 15 shots on one before it drops
So I'm down to using MW's now I think
edgy cipher
Yeah, plus from what I get, GSC can do a good bunch of those
elfin yew
Sometimes, the problem is that alot of them are based on dealing wounds already
edgy cipher
- you can steal the best psyker in the game, the guard ones
elfin yew
Tru
Like, rockdrills are really good at doing MW's but they have to put a wound on the model first
I think I can just psyker them to death
But Elf has caught on to her lack of psykers and now runs uhh
There's a drukhari artifact that gives deny the witch
edgy cipher
Too bad 8th edition cucked the detachment rules
elfin yew
For haemonculi I think
And yeah Detachment pains hurt Cults
Since from what I gather, a big part of Cult strat before(and after) 8e was/is running several detachments to get around genesect and multiple cult traits
edgy cipher
- you were able to balance the weakness of GSC
elfin yew
Yepppp
elfin yew
I'd really love to run Brood Brothers/Nid detachments but GSC really need their CP, even with high gen
hasty sorrel
Hopefully with 9e GSC will get an equiv to uhhh
edgy cipher
yeah I saw that 3 CP stratagem
hasty sorrel
realspace raid that DE got
edgy cipher
Oof
elfin yew
That'd be amazing
edgy cipher
realspace raid that DE got
I hope guards also get something similar
elfin yew
Realspace Raid probably one of the best rules to come out for Drukhari
Just in terms of general army fun and also goodness
Really weird that before you pretty much had to pay a tax to get the entire fluff of Drukhari in a list
edgy cipher
Good thing 9th edition game designers have done enough lines of coke to get the rules right
I feel like back in 5th edition
Where rules had flavour to the army
elfin yew
Someone in GW did a bunch of adrenalight then drove a reaver into the office wall
edgy cipher
Well then they should do it more often
Also share whatever they are taking to the mini designers of 40k
elfin yew
I'm gonna wear a badge that says "survived 10 point reavers"
vale sleet
I love the necrons
edgy cipher
Yeah I was actually greatly surprised by the crons
Actually looked like robotic aliens
tiny cairn
newcrons
elfin yew
Speaking of new codices
This is kind of weird but
I'm really excited to see new codex front cover art
I really like the current GSC one, and I'm excited to see what they'll do with the next one
Same for nids and such
elfin yew
Oh yeah, speaking of them, have any previews or such been released?
edgy cipher
Finally 2 and 3 wounds
elfin yew
Yeee
edgy cipher
Its pretty chonky tho
elfin yew
Das oki
elfin yew
Oo
edgy cipher
Like TS getting a new HQ unit
edgy cipher
Also new Castellan Crowe model incoming
elfin yew
I wonder if we'll get more character - unit upgrades
like Drukhari splintered mastermind and such
edgy cipher
GK's arsenal is going that route
elfin yew
Ooo
edgy cipher
For the basic troops
edgy cipher
I wonder if we'll get more character - unit upgrades
You mean like this ?
edgy cipher
The only thing I could complain is how there are a lot of rumours about how the Focus studio was rushed
Like GW pushing them to finish their games for the Skulls event
elfin yew
Ah hyeah
green cave
Which game?
edgy cipher
Both the Soulbound and Hired Gun
green cave
That would explain stuff
edgy cipher
There was a Streumon dev PM leak in french where the guy says they had a lot of ideas for the main sidearm and the melee for the game but they could implement it because the game had to be finished
tiny cairn
well theres always post launch support atleast
edgy cipher
And how they had to cut the sound design team in half
Like the guy that made the ambiance sounds for Hired gun during the calm moments (which are great) couldn't do the combat ones
Because the combat ones are literally KF2 musics with a bit of synth
plush swift
That's blows
vale sleet
Wonder if anyones done necron cosplays before
vale sleet
Im just surprised its not too common but i think up to now necrons were just ok
tiny cairn
necrons are really cool but to get the body standards right you need to be an amputee of some sort
edgy cipher
😔
plush swift
plush swift
Overall it's easier to hide your human frame in "power armor" than trying to get that lanky skeleton look Necrons have
obtuse sinew
or you could uhh order a giant robot from Boston Dynamics or some other folks
tiny cairn
You have to scale up and then you look weird, I could see a destroyer cosplay working but would be a pain
edgy cipher
I'd cosplay a guardsman instead
tiny cairn
ezpz
edgy cipher
I could possibly cosplay a catachan but I hate the Rambo 2 look
tiny cairn
lmao I was just typing that, though I'de have to hit the gym first
tiny cairn
go for a Jurgen cosplay
edgy cipher
As long as you're not as crooked as a fish tackle you should be good
hasty sorrel
an uncomfortably tall and skinny stormtrooper
edgy cipher
I don't judge
Takes a lot of willpower and constant effort to influence your body on long term
hasty sorrel
yii
tiny cairn
An ork cosplay is either really sweaty or really silly
going in green face or like building muscles onto your body, another hard one to do
edgy cipher
going in green face or like building muscles onto your body, another hard one to...
Or this
hasty sorrel
the incredible bulk
hoary ermine
i have
found a conversion kit
for a real rifle
into a fucking galvanic
Youve gotta be joking
its unavailable
hasty sorrel
IF i see anyone
converting an actual enfield into a galvanic rifle
instead of just getting a repro
i am going to stab them
hasty sorrel
literaly an artifact from ww1
hoary ermine
and?
hasty sorrel
get a repro isntead of destroying a bit of history, would prob be cheaper than buying an actual enfield
seeing as they go for £1000 a piece
hoary ermine
ey look me granddad has an enfield in the attic
now i can make cool space soldier costume
edgy cipher
Its just a gun that will become so much more
vale sleet
You have to scale up and then you look weird, I could see a destroyer cosplay wo...
I imagine its just someone in one of thoes victorian dresses
vivid rune
Progress on my arel for a commission

Very cursed. Very poggers.

Noooooooo

proud to say i kicked the wt addiction 2 years ago
I stared playing it a few months ago, only play it from time to time

Progress too slow to be interresting imo
Just a random casual match i loose once or twice a week at best

Progress too slow to be interresting imo
oh my sweet german baby
wt is the game that turned me from a boy into a depressed man
gentle talon
it turned me into a more bitter person
twilit cliff
Tbf if you wanna have some fun go and unlock the hs129 variant with the 75mm cannon in the German flying tree
And go tankhunting
And on occasion jinx fighters
He100 is also heaps of fun as it craps all over other comteporary planes
If you hate fun get the American flight tree
gentle talon
i hate cannons
twilit cliff
cannons gud
If you don't like cannons I seem to remember uh
British spitfires don't rely on them often right?
lapis tundra
How do you guys even manage to get addicted to a game?
rocky badge
its equivalent to any other non-chemically addictive thing like gambling
twilit cliff
it's complicated
It is a great sim game but
It also lacks a lot of things
Like actual sim lol
And that's what ultimately put me off
And some times just pull off these crazy maneuouvers and kills and it makes it all worth it
Especially at high br
hasty sorrel
wtf
twilit cliff
Spanish apparently
lapis tundra
Man why cant they wear their CHIN strap like normal people
green cave
Spanish foreign legion
green cave
Man why cant they wear their CHIN strap like normal people
Symbolism... I think that is their parade uniform
lapis tundra
It just looks extremely stupid to me
sour hill
Right under the lip.
green cave
Parade uniforms tend to look like that yeah
sour hill
"You ain't touchin' the queen, bruv."
twilit cliff
go tell them that, im aware
chrome niche
alright this is objectively from a gay porno
Get your groove on soldier. These men work hard and they play harder.
green cave
alright this is objectively from a gay porno
Poor spanish foreign legionnaries...
People joking on them
twilit cliff
I dont get it tho
dusk hill
look at them?? i legitimately dont buy it's not smut
twilit cliff
Why the pastel and bulges
dusk hill
yeah exactly
were the tight pants entirely necessary i can practically make out the veins yall
wholly unnecessary
twilit cliff
well that's on you for looking close
dusk hill
that's on me for having eyes
green cave
IIRC that was an ester parade...
green cave
I know that they have open shirts to show that they don't fear death or something like that, maybe it has some symbolism the skin tight uniforms too
lapis tundra
But they really look like this wtf
green cave
You really didn't believed me when i said it was the spanish legion? 🥲
dusk hill
i didn't
tho with that said, this is the spanish we're talking about
i can buy they'd be this extra more than any other european nation
green cave
O-ok... I go back to my corner...
twilit cliff
I believed you bc I read it
The moustaches and gait entirely don't help
The goat
green cave
twilit cliff
Meanwhile on belgium: https://youtu.be/YOvmrYwzsc8
green cave
It also looks like that such uniforms are linked to the spanish legion war on obesity
And oh boy there are some weird images
dusk hill
,,, im now weirdly emotionally attached to the belgian defence cadets
they're coming
trying their best
twilit cliff
So to translate what the commenters are saying
So Belgian de fence cadets is a new project, so you will notice they're not used to walking in a défilé
And the other guy tries hard to say: YOU noticed that, I didn't
chrome niche
the chin straps look so fucking stupid
lapis tundra
Im not the only one who thinks that! Hell yeah
mighty shell

fathom briar
I bugged my dm enough in my dark heresy session that he gave me a power great sword we kinda homebrew
I am god in melee
Don't have gun tho lmao
fathom briar
And imma have the trait untouchable soon so psyker and deamon will be weaken alot when i'm near
fathom briar
2d10+2 with 2 pen
Well no we looked at how the chainsword was compared to the eviserator and we did the same to a power sword
How much damg and penetration compare to the one handed counter part to make a 2 handed versiob
hasty sorrel
i mean
would have been better to use sword vs great weapon comparison
where it goes from 1d10 to 2d10
then powerfield modifies that
(same as standard sword to power sword)
fathom briar
would have been better to use sword vs great weapon comparison
I'm a dumass and it's my first ever dark heresy game lol
hasty sorrel
yeah ofc its insane melee is already high reward for the risk
hasty sorrel
watch out for flamers
fathom briar
Yea that is one situation i need to think about but we fighting deamons so it's kinda ok they can't have flamer right ?
Well fighting is a big word
fathom briar
First deamon we fought was a bloodletter
hasty sorrel
or any pyromancy psyker powers
fathom briar
or any pyromancy psyker powers
As i say imma get untouchable so psyker power won't work in my proximity and deamon will be extremly weakened
hasty sorrel
Demons can over rule it iirc, you weaken certain powers instead of removing them
fathom briar
Basicly i have no soul to speak off and no trace in the warp or something
fathom briar
Yea but meh at this point i don't i' already not good in social stuff
fathom briar
First deamon we fought was a bloodletter
At that bloodletter ripped of both my arms and disembowelled me
So i got bionic arm now
That were my "doom slayer" vibe kinda started
Been building myself to survive and overpower deamon
I know there's no good guys in 40k but i'm trying my best to be this good guy

Give a guardsman a shotgun
nobody bats an eye
Give a skitarii a shotgun and everyone loses their mind.
