aren't the og resin DKoK sorta a different scale to the regular cadians
their heads def look smaller to me
I'm very excited to see that they're doing plastic death korps
That in the updated Imperial guardsman
I think so. Fw dkok was more... realistic proportions I think?
Yeah i've never seen them in person but they looked like that to me
so wouldn't be surprised if they changed them somewhat
Normal ig sculpts always looked a bit more cartoony a bit.
But they can just be older sculpts
I'm hoping for the same quality as the gaunts ghosts sculpts
Yeah that's the one thing that I'm a little disappointed with is that Imperial Guardsman always look like they were Cadian every single time they were always shock troops.
π
And thisll give me an excuse to finish off those Mars alpha pattern russes I have in my backlog
Here is to gw selling out of them within the minute the sales go live.
Updated IG is ok
The sprue's quality is def up to date but everything is still very blocky
But that's the IG style
did they actually update the IG sculpts proper?
I thought they just came up with the sprue additions for new like, heads and stuff
ah ye valid
The old sprues are so disheartening to clean it pains me
I mean ADmech is a whole new faction, way easier to do
Yeah. And the shear quantity. π
the kits have aged p well sprues exempted. like, IG in general is a v vehicle heavy faction, and vehicles highkey dont age as quickly as actual individuals
I dont blame GW for not bothering with a full overhaul
π
I want everything to be updated to Primaris+ level of attention
All factions deserve love.
And gives me more variety to buy and paint for fun.
It's because msot of the vehicles were released in 6th edition and all the ones already there got reworked
Plus the box design doesn't really age
Yeah. Even super old vehicles tend to look at least decent
GW only understands this concept in AoS
if u like a 40k faction and it isn't A. primaris or B. the one faction currently selected to be elevated to close to primaris attention for the next 6 or so months then u can get fucked
π
Like. Random things I want:
Terminator truescaling/update.
It is my absolute favourite armour design and look and it still has this very aged squatty look.
They did release a Terminator Chaplain though that is absolutely gorgeous and I think might have been scaled properly.
another lieutenant model, got it
but for real i am glad that krieg is coming to plastic. one of my favorite regiments along with the steel legion
There is one sculptor that I legit would pay to scale my army for me. The absolute best looking SM design. Period.
@bold copper Same. Steel Legion is very high up for me.
i hope that this is an indication that the other guard regiments might get their own unique kits
steel legion is forever relegated to three metal kits for exuberant prices on ebay
Pax Acrylica.
This is the exact design I absolutely love. Super exaggerated oversized armour.
This dude does all his conversions in this style and they are incredible.
It's how I envision terminator upscaling would look.
I dunno. I know most people hate SM but I just think it's so dope.
i love space marines, i just think they need a break
I agree. I don't think they need more models at all at this time.
Or realistically every faction just needs sprinklings.
Small bits to pull people in or expand their forces/collection more.
Im excited that we.may be seeing a Tyranid model of some sort very soon
i would be happy if all we got for space marines going forward as far as new stuff goes is updates of named characters or updates of chapter specific units
i would love to see an update for tyrannic war veterans
or a model update for dante
but i am very happy that the focus has shifted to orks and potentially tyranids or genestealer cults
Another one down
Yes! Tyranids especially I'm stoked for.
@bold copper looks dope! Love me some Redemptors.
π
I almost paint him like the painting of FW
I love that grey blue colour.
Thanks
Jawhol amon
nice
Nice
Hmmm. Grey blue. French uniforms.
My second
Erika and Amon
''The pounding sound of gunfire hurts my ears. Used to bear it like the rest but I guess the Science Gunk'll do that.''
new orks are always nice.
Ork Kommandos ye
I like the trailer
Actually captures orkz being scary to me
The ultimate reimagining of Warhammer 40,000βs iconic skirmish game βΒ Kill Team β is on the way. This is a brand new game, wholly redesigned to capture the brutality of special-ops combat in the 41st Millennium
Seems like a actual new ed too
Yeah seems like it
Special ops? Interesting
if the price isn't bloated too much by GW terrain i might actually get the box
yeah but what about that little earflick
very uwu
Yeah nah the starting boxes are always good for 40k in general
Usually a solid 40% off
Indomitus was 60% off
I was in need of new terrain for my 40k games,seems like i found some
Very cute teehee
Im rlly glad theyre supporying KT still
Gets ppl in
I make my own but Im pretty bad at terrain
Esp after the pariah nexus debacle
Plus for the summer tournaments, more Gw approved terrain is better
Yeah the Paria one sucked ass
Super expensive for 10 doors, one mat and 10 minis
Just because there was the heavy intercessors
i managed to get one for $120. i feel like that was more reasonable a price
So that's like 90β¬, still duper expensive
wait it was more than $120?
Dont forget that pariah nexus was the only legit place to get rules for sm and necrons new unitd
U couldnt get them anywhere else
,,, wait so
one sec
yeah that for Β£95 is robbery
good lord
what ur paying for with these KT kits is like. 30% the models and at least like 50% the terrain, they're the really expensive elements here
,, so why is all the terrain just
π§±
Squared stuff
100 dollars please
compare that to the tau vs sm KT starter set
and yeah idk GW must've fucked up at some point there
Laughs in Wahapedia and Battlescribe
The box might be more expensive if they go the 9th edition route
Which means a LOT of cover etc
Yeee
Reading again the Gaunt Ghost series
"But he believed war was a simple thing,
where caution and restraint could win far more for less cost. He had seen the reverse too many times
before. The command echelons generally believed in the theory of attrition when it came to the
Imperial Guard. Any foe could be ground into pulp if you threw enough at them, and the Guard was, to
them, a limitless supply of cannon fodder for just such a purpose.
That was not Oktarβs way. "
Damn it feels good that its made obvious that early
beautiful thank you
Baby
Damn, nice one Joe
I need to find a set piece of a giant fortress/castle/monastery.
playmobile
You rock.
Hmmm
I'm trying to find more of like the front of a giant monastery.
ah i see
I'm going to do my diorama as the monastery gates open on a snowy world.
And a huge horde of Tyranid and Chaos Marines pouring into the valley with the monastery charging a few space Marines.
I'm gonna mold mountains around the sides of it and such.
Wolfdawg wastes no time

Mondays amirite
that's what I thought
nice
@gaunt bloom
fav part was how fuckin casual the burnaboy was
Usual shit for him
tum tee dum oh i hear steps lemme turn this on
oh a git! lemme burn him
damn hes still goin humies got some wagh!
huh wonder what he pressed
oh an explosion huh thats cool WAGH!
Me trying to skip Zoom class
Seems like, to my own surprise I may paint Kriegs sooner than expected
I made a vow to never touch them but I'm really tempted to try the new edition of Killteam
And my friend is ready to go halfies
Damn guys, zher was cool til he turned into a nazi

hot
π
I'm surprised that half the audience isn't Orks in that image.
Probably my least favourite angle of that model actually. LMFAO
Shows everything a little better.
Absolute nightmare to paint.
π
7th model ever. Would not recommend.
thats impressive!
I'd try to get into 40k models, but both the price and the thought of having to learn to paint is honestly kind of a turnoff...
@autumn parrot I will say. The painting has been a fantastic experience to learn and get into.
It is a lot of work, but it's such a nice brain off activity.
@untold pierThank you! It means a lot. I see a lot of other people with fantastic talent and patience. I'm trying. LOL
have u done other model painting?
Oh, with Nurgle models in particular, has anybody deliberately gone against conventional wisdom and used thicker coats of paint to get a more crusty or blob-y look for their disease-ridden daemons?
@untold pierLiterally none. First models were 40K about 2 months ago.
I think people have definitely done that or something similar. @autumn parrot
Nice job bro
I finish gitslayer
And unfortunately the Giga Himbo stormcast eternal doesnt make a return
Though it did reveal the truth why Gotrek refuses to go to Azyr
π©
Thank you! β€οΈ
Yes you was, and still are
Good job!
Thanks π
Has the stream started?
In one hour
Ah
Soon
I keep painting Krieg resin

These fucking emotes i find randomly while searching random words

this inspired by dark samus from 2 n 3
Or the SA-X
In spirit yeah, the suit's kinda a mishmash of the muscle shit on the Dread suit and the color scheme of the Dark Suit.
Oh I just thought, I can't tell whether or not this is before or after Dread now that it exists.

On insta they just dropped two images of plastic krieg veteran guard 5 minutes ago
PLASTIC DEFFKOPTAS
This is just...
throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks
Its not even good
It is
to me it really just looks like hoping people like a design that hasnt really been thought of
how do you make an ork thing that does not look like that?
Admech fans will never understand
no i mean
ork designs are cool
this looks like they literally just emptied a bits box at the office and didnt care if it even looked orky
I really hope snakebites get a different rule, they've been worse deathskullz for too long. I think they will do that now because of the beast snagga pain doc cause the rules wouldn't stack
It looks plenty Orky if you ask me, just gun platforms crammed together haphazardly
To get an idea how big some of the new models are
https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/VfXBSDVKR2YJZ8PZ.jpg
Everyone thought black templars is soon but it's really gonna be ultramarines cause of this picture
That makes it peak ork aesthetic
How else do you think Orks make something
I think this has convinced me that my 2nd army should be orkz
same dude, i love orks and i needed something to learn the psychic phase
it does sorta look like an ork kitbash tbh
but in a good way. my only issue with it is like, idk it is a lil cluttered to my eyes?
if i was making it i may cut it down a little
i love the squigs
I promised myself I wouldn't get more models until I finished my Necron army but this is sorely testing me.
Squigs are best
I'm pretty confident that a lot of the clutter from the new orks comes from the scheme
I finish them
as someone who knows jack about the physical product lines of gw
so, this killteam is a small(er) scale battle version of the usual 40k (which gw probably uses to make extra money by selling the same kits with often minor variations) ?
ye its basically squad v squad instead of army v army
at least the models seem quite detailed, so I guess its also nice for collectors
They also generally sell you the same models for most factions for advertised "kill team" kits.
i am sorta glad that they're kinda heroic proportions-ing krieg models with it going into plastic
it was always sorta jarring to me having diff figures on the board with drastically different proportions
looking at u skitarii vs tau
hey does anyone have one of those blank picture things that are used to test color schemes for the thousand sons?
i wanna test out a color scheme
with out using my paints and shit
Theyre going to sell normal kits for it as well
theyre called army color testers
oh shit thanks
i remember i saw one of the thousand sons and admech
Skitarii were superior right?
yeah the skitarii kit was bonkers to the tau side
POG
Like
we know the firecast are a bit stumpy
but cmon theyre almost shortstacks at this point
yeah and like
ngl some tau males and females look good
tau proportions make them look like giant headed chimpanzees next to them
it's really dire
The canonical ones, tho
Even in DoW the tau were really small lol
esp with pathfinders cus they have particuarly big helmets
ye it's not the size that annoys me it's the bodily proportions
no i agree
big head big arms
but GW cant make normal models due to heroic scale
it's okayish by itself but when u compare it to smthn with better proportions, like skitarii, it sticks out hard
Damn, tau would be taller than me... Welp, time to get skitariied then, and gain some cm more
idk skitarii are basically normal tho, it's just age ig. diff styles
yeah
they were fully properly scaled in a 3d render when they were made
first models to be done like that
you can see it in their shoulderpads and inner arms, theres slight print lines
solar auxilia have it too, on their pumps and shoulderpads
Lore accurate then 
Hes almost finished just a few bits to finish and touch up to go
hot tip for anyone painting blood knights: drybrush them, don't edge highlight them. it will save you so much time in the long run for a similar result
Dispossessed its the old runelord
show me ur organ guns

nah he's just watching his entire battalion dying because the gun misfired
no loud noises here
Meanwhile the two front ones are just
"Yo that guy's head fucking blew up"
"I know right i love this fucking job"

So playing a Horus Heresy Wrath an Glory game. Our squad of blackshields (loyalist from traitor legions) was reinforcing s PDF unit under siege from rioting civilians riled up by Alpha Legion.
While fighting off the rioters the GM kept criting our squad
So as a joke we're all suspicious that there was a 8ft tall civilian welding a Stalker Bolter
Actually in the latest rules they can
this isnt the old edition i literaly bought this the other month alongside the expansion

Oh we figured it out
Buuuut GM is keeping the damage
So I'm still looking for that 8ft civi
Lol
Stalker Bolter HH, damn Cawl at it again
Do we know what the krieg sprues will look like?
Here's hoping they're multipose but I doubt it
There's multiple choices in assembly
That's a suspicious way of saying multipose 
Well its probably just "here have a different melee weapon option"

It makes me happy knowing Orks are getting new shit. Love my greenskins.
dies
Great job!
Oh fair
Thought its yours since you made a few really good photoshop edits of female space marines
Now I wanna see those.
this is the best IG thing ive seen in a year
or more idk
Yeah they said it was going to be real sprues with all the options
yeah that's a good kit
I just want the orkz i wish my bro would go halfsies with me but he wants the ork commandos tooπ£
I think they said something along the lines "you can get them separately", dont quote me on that tho
Man i hope my bro and i would be so happy
oh the sprues
I hope so, the sprues already seem so battle ready its a bit obvious
not the biggest fan of the way these sprues are done but im glad the arms seem seperate
Yeah that's how they do sprues now
arent there like a bunch of models where theyre put together in like a weird way
like left leg torso left arm + right arm + right leg
Yeah
You need to look at the numbers
doesn't look v conducive to kitbashing tho
the above? no thats why i dont like it
the death korps seems a bit better but not ideal
yea, hopefully dkok aren't too hard to use for kitbashing
but uh
given they'd be super valuable
it wouldnt be the first time if they came out with "easy to build" models first and then multipose for the same models after
at least i think
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1082596006?t=0h54m25s they will be available separately
The krieg donβt look like they are the βeasy to buildβ
I assume so
ah yes, words
π
Easy to build are the ones with the pegs
Hold on
No
If they are then theyβre super small and useless
Fuck if i know
Probably saves money on the plastic and keeps the structure when itβs being molded
probably
but earlier plastic minis were hollow inside as well
without showing it on the outside
That kind of stuff is easy to build/ push fit
not really important anyway, im just glad the arms are separate
Yeah
it looks easy enough to assemble those and plop on a new head or different arms/weapons
the dkok i mean
Yeah
They look more like a typical kit is what i mean
Which should be easier to mess around with
There was a teaser that had an Imperial Fist saying grimdark stuff so that might exist.
I mean that and to allow the glue to spread
Because flat surface will cause the glue to get squished out on all sides which will mess up your mini
Tho it does reduce the surface for the glue to bond
The hole would help for setting up pins however
I mean yes but the surface is still enough, i really like the hole, doesnt mess up your minis arm if you take too much glue now
Little question for TT players:
Lets say that i play skitarii, and i want to use flyers to move my skitarii, but i despise the archaeotopters, if i want to use the superior valkyirie they would need to be brought in by allying with IG or Tempestus scions right?
I believe so yeah, you'd need to check with someone that has the skitarii codex tho
To make it simple, vehicles can only carry units from their own faction so yeah, youd need to grab an IG or Tempestus detachment AND you wouldnt be able to fit those skitariis inside the Valkyrie
(β―Β°β‘Β°οΌβ―οΈ΅ β»ββ»
So a detachment of tempestus scions with taurox mean that only the scions can get into those taurox?
I haven't seen an AdMech flyer myself, but depending on their size couldn't you just proxy them with Valks?
From what i'm seeing the archaeotopter is shit
At least for troop transport, and the valkyrie would be extremely superior
Lemme check my codex but im pretty sure that normal detachments can go into a taurox but only scions can go into a prime one
K Thanks
I dont think its a mini problem but moreso the fact that the skitarii copters can only transport 6 peoppe meanwhile valk is 12
Zherlum got it...
I just checked the rules about the Taurox and I was right
Because Taurox Prime are driven by scions, they are Militarum Tempestus
Ok, so taurox yes, but valkyrie nope... And Ad. Mech. cannot get valkyries for some dumb reason... FF GW!!
Because there arent plugs for them
Oh no your skitariis arent even allowed in the Taurus they arent iG
(β―Β°β‘Β°οΌβ―οΈ΅ β»ββ»
Pranked
Good thing i'm not into TT though
ye if u want transports for admech u have to use their own
the copter or the toaster
I would like to use flyers, so just the topter
Atleast it looks unique
I mean, my HC forge world use valkyries, because f you GW, forge worlds build them, and then use them too
Balancing init
TBF i liked how the skitarri were developed, at least until the pteraxii and the cowboys, and the topter
i mean all they had until those dropped were rangers, vaanguards and the dune strider
wasnt enough to be an actual faction tho, now they have a toaster, davinci machines and cownboys
Theyβve won every tournament theyβve been in recently i hear aswell
doesn't surpise me they just got their 9e rules
which just bumped their weapons stats across the board
What do we think the chances are that a plastic kit of just krieg releases after war zone octarius?
i believe they've said the components will release separately
Noice
Not soon
depends completely on popularity
if the warzone octarius gets sold out quick theyll speed up the separate mold release
Otherwise itll take until a certain % of boxes are gone
GW works with a sales to release volume system
if the sales are enough to warrant selling the separate kits already, it means the mold has paid itself back more than enough in sales
I rememver someone saying nids got pushed out of octarius?
Ahh good then
if nids werent there this new lore bit literaly couldnt happen
the entire idea being an infinitley scalling conflict between them and orks, which has breached confinement
The krieg were sent to see what was happening, to see how to manage to keep them fighting
Yeah and they're in the cover of that book
but i feel like they'll not get any models and just be stuck with what they have

I hope for new termies and troops
Tbh theres alot of nids that need updates
They have one upside of being funny bugs so their old models are still.. ok..
tbh with how guard worl dilara
inf squads is all they need
since they use the same vehicles mostly
You guys think it's worth getting the kill team box from gw, or try it via my local game shop?
try gw first id say before the scalping begins
Truuuue
Good thing is that you can call them and ask em to put one on the side if you have already bought where I am
POG
Niiiice
babi
Hey it looks clean
Yes
Poggy Woggy
The eyes stressed me so much XD
That's assuming GW doesn't short your store
This was a pain to do
and now i never have to paint an apothecary ever again
i primed it white. still an absolute pain in the ass
So I found a rare gem at my local Hobbytown. Got to talk to the store owner to make an offer and depending on price I'm gonna sell this on ebay
@quaint halo what is it?
looks like something from Planetary Assault, I think it was called?
Old out of print 40k campaign map that goes for like $300 in this condition on ebay
Planetary assault was the game I believe
Couple models I painted a couple years ago and a stained glass of the mechanicus cog.
neat

honestly, this sets a precedent
and a great one
A jump from Forge World to mainstream plastic yep
Well its still going to be expensive but instead of costing the 2 kidneys now its only 1
true
From the sheer fact that, if you want to do a "big army" so a 2000 point one you're going to need at least 6 of those boxes and a ton of spare heads
And that's going for the minimum
i mean, im mostly referring to this setting a precedent that they will eventually bring em to be purchased
as in, units and stuff
not just the octarius box
the forgeworld stuff has been out of stock for ages
Oh yeah I was mentionning the standalone box that was announced after the stream
The one with only krieg infantry
Well the big advantage is the "all in one" box that can do conscripts, infantry or veterans
good thing about it is, hopefully we will get some armageddon steel legion
Like what they did with the cadian shock troup sprue
vostroyan, and other fringe guard regiments that never really came with the new stuff
I'm not a big fan of armaggedon but I hope it happens
For now you'll be stuck making custom models from krieg
Which, let's be honest, could eb way worse

Krieg are literally the second real release IG got for 5-6 years now
First one being Gaunt
if not more
Yup, last real release was in 2014
im buying the box, so i can get my brother to play some miniwargaming
kill team is very digestable
More fresh blood in the hobby
Yeah plus KT is going to be like Warcry
ngl, i have alot more fun playing KT sometimes
No need to always check the book, just look at the objective cards and your mini's datasheet
I play IG so yeah its a real change of pace from moving 100+ minis every round
same
i have a 2000 point cadian army (bought a ton of start collecting) and added the scions
Same
Over the years thats atleast 3 start collecting Cadian and 2 Scions
I used to buy them at a reseller before brexit
i havnt played in a while due to covid and stuff
getting that cadian box for 50β¬ was really neat
im really missing some 40k bro
Same, at my club only now we are beginning to prepare for the summer tournies
almost made the jump to AOS, since locally.. alot more players
But I've been playing some chill 40k at home with the pals
nice
We do have a friend that used to play Tau in 7th but we don't have the heart to ask him to come and play
lmao, isnt tau terrible atm?
Nah SM has a good load of psykers
Yeah which is why we aren't asking him if he wants to dust off his minis
Especially since he is a kroot lover
Heh

If you mean CSM and black legion yeah
But Emperor"s Children, normal demons and Death guard ?
Boy they've been destroying the scene for a while now
Maybe not Khorne but the rest are doing fine
TS is trash tier
But their codexes have been announced and leaked
So things are going to be way better for them soon
true
Managed to destroy Harlequins and White Scars
Most tournaments rn have the last 3 finalists be drukh in 69% of the cases
π
So funny army with funny numbah
Yeah I'm having some fun with a lil deatchment of Iothan gorgones
I managed to kill the Silent King Turn 2 with them
It only needed 1 demo cannon with the stratagem against Monsters and vehicles to destroy both monoliths and the little gaurdsmen with meltas to kill the King himself
Did so well in that game I managed to kill the Void Dragon and the Silent King
i love meltas
He's plas-ed to meet you
Man thats some glorious glow
That is some damn glorious glow effects. How'd you do it?
In this video I show my method for doing a green plasma glow effect for weapons in Warhammer 40k.

Well.
Maloghurst is pretty fuckin huge
Hoping that this is just special character size privilege and new Heresy plastic will be closer to Nu-CSM in size.
Sentinel Prime agrees
Bayverse Optimus Prime moment
Optimus in every other continuity: attempts to broker peace at nearly every opportunity
Bayverse Optimus:
"I haven't decapitated someone for 5 minutes the ticks are starting up again"
Oh yeah, a classic in its own right
The fact that optimus' VA was distraught by all these lines is just so great
like i would find it weird but considering he was doing a kids show with Optimus all his life i can totally understand where hes coming from by being against all this psycho-robot murder stuff 
alot of people convert them i think
Hmmm one thing maybe
If I were you I'd add some more color to the bare arm
It looks a bit uncorrupted
it doesn't actually have alot on it to add tbh
he's got mad bingo wings but that's about it
Real nice looks as gruesome as any blightking should
thank ya kindly
Yeah idk
I know death guard always looks fucked up
Don't know about the aos equivaleny
Some more than others
Death guard are mostly in the sm armour
I painted one of the less corrupted out the lot
I'm a bit afraid of painting death guard stuff
Especially the poxwalkers
Not sure how to do their skin
i have no idea how they done the box scheme for blightkings but all i did was layers over the skin so that i wasn't layering over the primer and used flayed one flesh
gave him a agrax bath once everything was done and then went over bit i thought were too muddy with flayed again
poxwalkers i'd just use pallid witch flesh or something like that
pale flesh colour
depens how alive you want them to look
Duncan has a tutorial how to 3 different flesh shade for zombies
Freshly infected, rotting and rotten

Here are the things I spoke about in this video
The site I used to ...
Pink Drukhari
working on a 3d ref for an artist
so he can draw my dumb robot with his brick head
literally MRVN from titanfall
Mmmh, another 9th edition game scheduled for tomorrow
I'm bringing the Valkyrie for that one
Does anyone know if there are any companies that do 28mm heroic scale medieval miniatures?
I need some bits for conversions. There are plenty of 28mm ones I can find but none that are heroic scale so they tend to look small compared to GW
Kromlech ?
Kromlech has some beautiful stuff but alas no medieval humans
Ideally Iβm looking for minis with nasal helms
But Iβll take what I can get
I'd have said WHF a few years ago
Mastercrafted blackberry jam blade
Hes just gotten done spreading his jam
I'm here to eat jam sandwiches and kill daemons, and I'm all out of sandwiches
GREY KNIGHTS
Knowing grey knights they are going to end up burned to a crisp
The demons will meet them in battle, seedless of their impending doom
Oh FUCK yes
Looks like it'll be the only updated grey knights model given that he's pictured alongside manlet marines
how many conscripts
Not big I mean competitive
My friend wants to test a necron list he plans to run for this summer tournament
Tell me if this is too much Ill delete it
cursed
Grey knights say breakfast is the most important meal of the day
I swear his new one has tacticus plates on the stomach
WIP
Had to break my models legs to fit on a 40mm
Started my minis from Dreadfane
My friends entire homemade nid swarm (with gsc)
Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh
We are gonna fite soon
What is your guy's thoughts on 3d printed minis? That are very detailed.
GW needs to adapt to the fact that 3d printing is a thing
no amount of over-detailed models will make it harder for recasters to do their job
The only reason I'm considering resin 3d printing is because krieg are out of stock
Until the plastic ones are out, then they'll be doubly out of stock
personally i think 3d printing is ok, and people who cry about it need to get with the times
Love 3d printing, I own 2 printers (one FDM one Resin)! It's been a great help for my hobby without breaking the bank π
GW really needs to up their game regarding adapting to commercial 3d printing, but I think for a hobby like Warhammer injection moulding will remain king for the foreseeable future.
True, they also need to keep everything thing in stalk for people like me who wouldn't think about 3d printing and started looking for one because of that
my friend came up with the idea to make an online game and then sell models as NFTs that you could scan into the game
silly idea but an interesting thought
That'd be so cool tho
Scan your kitbashed models and use them in tabletop simulator or sth
The fucking, yes

What's ntf
i dont follow
Basically
If you make an item or piece of art you can declare it is an NFT
this then is kinda of like copyrighting it but also means it is unique (there is only 1 of it) and it has a "perceived value"
Ahhhhh
Similair to how stocks for companies are set based on how much people think a company is worth
2bigbrian4me
basically the issue is
it was thought of to protect art
you can make a piece of art and declare it an NFT and it is then protected as unique
The issue is anything is an NFT
or can be
Yeah
you can make a meme, declare it an NFT and sell it for crypto currency
An example of how strange it is
The guy who made the internet made an NFT out of the source code of the original world wide web and sold it for $5.4 million
What
This seems to be a case of like
This works for everyone who recognizes the thing, no?
I doubt you could copyright kitbashed 40k models with James sueing you
depends how hard they are kitbashed i guess
Wait his Plastic Krieg π
Maybe i hope they doing the same for Vostroyan and other guard regiment
Tallarn β€οΈ
I really love Tallarn style
i'd like some valhallans
Watching them get fucked up by the Iron Warriors was fun while it lasted
Valhallans deserve some more love too, u right
Jannissaries too
Valhallan need a rework removing the meme... Kinda what krieg seems to be getting
Did the Maccabian Janissaries ever have their own dedicated mini at one point? I don't remember ever having seen one outside of the odd kitbash
Nope
ye valhallans sorta just got trope'd into being hurr durr red army meatshields hurr durr i feel
They are pretty much a creation of FFG iirc, one that got enough fame tough
FFG made some neat stuff, some got the spotlight some simply got forgotten
Was it just me or does that new rift that happened seems to have eaten up the old calixis sector from ffg?
IDK, didn't heard news about it recently
So competitive Necron vs Guard, yeah I got rekt
So, just like the new banshees
these kriegers are a gauge for GW to see if its worth making something akin to it
I see no mistakes here.
I'll be honest. I want to see someone do a Kritza conversion it something similar to make Alucard.
YES
My greendtuff skills are crap tbh, but that's be awesome
alucard is truly the peak of slutty vampire men
same
and hm yeah kritza does have the ultra long sword and the right general build, would mainly just need a lot of work with the face and torso
Yeah.
if u can detach the rat pelts that would make it way easier
ye and to the arms too
Damnit.
soulblight alucard will have to wait for now
Well there goes my good idea for the month.
I'll ping you with future prospects.
π
nods
tangently related to alucard but i do adore the amount of bi representation nowadays tbh
,, it may partially be cus it's a way to include lgbt characters without ppl expecting them to 'act gay' or whatever but still
In what way do you mean?
Having an established character say well ye i can swing either way feels like, idk a lot less tricky fanbase wise than outright going nah i'm gay/a lesbian
For sure.
imagine the shitstorm if they said the MCU loki was full on gay
I mean. In all honesty. Sexuality is just a spectrum.
Where some people may be polar opposites of the spectrum there's a lot of hues in between.
So I think it's great to just be like "yeah, if I fancy it I fancy it".
π
Ye the history of sexuality is honestly p interesting
cus like,, sexuality as we know it today is fairly contemporary, same with gender to a lesser extent
100%
I had a huge discussion on my lunch break about it with some friends.
Like. Physical sex is genetic, but gender and sexuality are a state of mind. And I'm glad that people are starting to actually embrace it more.
Keep in mind, in some cultures, that's been the norm for a long time
Sadly colonies happened
Ye there are like, a shocking number of gender fucky traditions around
or uh,, there were yeah
And Westernisation
Very true. I should say I'm glad it's being more widely embraced?
In the end, I just am happy people do what they do to make themselves feel good/happy.
thanks imperialism β€οΈ
By westernisation I mean other cultures trying to adopt the western one
Homogenization. π
Because of consumeurism or just their culture being judged attractive / interesting
So not even imperialism
Just what happens with globalisation
Aka a worldwide exchange of goods, services and culture
could've taken other cues from us besides the rampant homophobia
why is that one so popular
Yee. Its sad to see some cultures die out, but there are a LOT of traditions that needed... An update.
Because we humans love to gangpile on people to hate
Hell I've seen it alot of times here alone
Justified or not
Hate what we don't understand. π
Ignorance breeds fear etc
Fuck that though. All my homies get love. No matter what you identify as or call yourself.
π π
Imagine how upset those people would be if the ever read Norris myths
Chuck Norris really is mythic.
Fucking auto correct
we do not stan chuck norris in this household
Norse
LOL
I never got the love for him. He's like Stephen Segall.
Bad washed up action actor.
Even if they're skilled martial artists or whatever.
Oh gods
Just lots of bad, schlocky acting
They are skilled material artists as long as they fight untrained goons one on one
LOL
after so many crappy larpers im no longer convinced martial arts isn't a spook
it was made up by hollywood
Goon rule 1: Don't just shoot the hero
Rule 2: if you engage in hand to hand only engage one on one. All those not currently fighting wait in a widely spread ring
π
Rule 3: throw easily choreographed punches that the hero can block
Also at half speed
Sooo, you can choose to be gay?
But back to my original point
Imagine how mad they'd be if they read the actual mythology of Loki
Yeah. We literally talked about Loki today too. LMFAO
And how he turned into a horse.
And was mated with.
Loki: "Ha Thor I have stolen your hammer and given it to the Frost Giants. And the only way you can get it back is to let the fairest maiden in Asgard be married to the Frost Giant king"
Thor: Ok you're going to turn me into this woman and be my bridesmaid as we go get it"
Loki: "...."
Thor:"..."
Loki: "FIIIIIIIINE"
π
@chrome niche Not exactly. Its not a "choice".
State of mind is more of an emotional state of being. Not really something you choose.
Not concioussly no
Exactly.
Nature and nurture
More for some, less for some, of either.
Yee. And some days you may feel more or less of one vs. the other.
And being accepting of that is what's up π
Life isn't black and white. Lots of shades of grey. And that's okay.
I think there's a lot of things we think we have no choice over but are something that we subconciously do based on previous life experiences. Just in general, not only sexuality.
I think that is a really dope idea. Previous life experiences.
We don't really know. How could we know?
For sure. Our whole state of being could be based on more factors than we can ever understand.
When we grow up
I was gonna say that is trippy.
But yeah.
That helps form us some.
Changes how we think/perceive the world.
For better or worse.
There's a LOT of "nurture" at work in how we become ourselves.
Neglect might be the better word :p
LOLL
Sadly neglect is more often the case.
And we end up having to spend a lot of time learning to love ourselves and really understand who we are.
Experience shapes you, some times in a traumatic way.
We're gonna get metaphysical
These are all good vibes though.
It's interesting how from your point of view this is inspirational. In my point of view it's depressing, because of my experiences :p
A perfect example.
I've gone from really low lows to peak highs in my life now
So I know that despite how bad things can get that they can get better.
Best to try and see things as challenges to be overcome, if you've got the spirit for it.
Yeah.
Its hard to work up the motivation to meet the challenge too.
But if you can.
There's usually a lot of good waiting for you.
Repetition repetition repetition
The neverending cycle.
Force it if you have it
π
Talk to yourself out loud if you're alone even
My big thing was learning about power posing. Feeling confident talking to others despite my position in life.
And then I started to actually take care of my physical to add to that confidence.
Impostor syndrome for over 5 years working in my career. But paid off and I feel ready for anything.
Your inside voice is without feeling, so you need to say things out loud so that you can understand what it sounds like with feeling. SOciety tries to suppress the idea of talking to yourself but it's bullshit.
