thought I would share this with everyone. this guy makes amazing 3d prints of warhammer fantasy stuff
https://cults3d.com/en/users/EmanG/creations?page=1
Lovely sculpts
so I got curious and calculated it out. i have about 5000 points of orks, 8500 points of marines, and 2500 points of necrons in my collection
Holy shit π³
Hereβs about how that campaign match I was talking about, looked in practice
My patriarch died immediately unfortunately
v cool
Niceeee
Damn this guy is packing enough heat to destroy vehicles

Combi Melta.
I wonder how many points that Black Templar army box is actually going to be?
Is that a 500 point box?
Whats the box content again ?
Cum
So 2 characters, 1 neophyte squad and one dread
Drazhar could still whip him
So the emperor chosen and marshal must be around 120 pts each
So a neophyte must be around 15 pts so another 150, and dread are around 130 aswell
Maybe a bit more than 500
Sickkk
Okay good.
Get me a Helbrecht, a Grimaldus and a ton of assault intercessors.
Frontline smash.
Helbrecht looks like a must grab for BT
This man can either go alone on elite hunting duty or lead a blob for mass destruction
Leading from the front lines like he was meant to.
Really stoked that they captured his character in that way.
For a 160 points

New stuff for cadians in Octarius
Lukas Bastonne
It's actually quite bad
What? How.
After the last FAQ 1 always fail to wound even if you have modifiers and if you're wounding on a 2 it means you're aiming S6 weapons at infantry ... which unless its a heavy cannon its quite useless, plus the +1 to cover is ok but with the AP creep its not that good
Are there not higher priority Cadian infantry units you'd want to protect or give some additional resistance to when holding OBJs?
Ah. π
Plus gaurdsmen already have a better cover stratagem
Yeah I know
Sadly its not that good, well atleast it saves you the use of "Take Cover" stratagem
What's the CP cost for Take Cover?
Yeah. ;/
Do you have the strategem block for Take Cover?
I'm just curious what the point of this new one would be.
TAKE COVER!
Astra Militarum Stratagem
Sometimes the only possible response to overwhelming enemy fire is to hit the dirt and wait for the storm to pass, before springing up to unleash an answering volley.
Use this Stratagem in your opponentβs Shooting phase when your opponent selects one of your ASTRA MILITARUM INFANTRY units as a target. You can add 1 to armour saving throws you make for this unit until the end of the phase.
The advantage is that its not limited to cadian infantry unlike Cadia stands so that means Tempestus and bullgryns can use it
Honestly. This new one is sick. This is every time they're selected as the target of attack in general. Take Cover is dope in shooting phase.
Yeah.
Makes it even more open-ended.
Heh
Take Cover on Bullgryns. 
I need to finally start playing table top.
I wanna fuck around with all this cool shit.
Althought, I'm saddened that a Guard power sword relic is barely better than a standard space marine power sword
I guess it makes sense in the scope of things.
Take the relic, pray this bad boy swings and shreds.
I know the tactics a lot of the time for Guard are basically using units as walls and hammering with vehicles from range while doing obsec.
So if your relic holder can even take down some big boys or thin the herd it's not bad.
Yeah, sacrifice the infantry to grab objectives when its needed meanwhile leman russ lay waste o the enemy
Pretty lore friendly
You have to sacrifice gaurdsmen to win but if you waste them, you won't have enough to keep your objectives
Funny how the new sword is statistically worse at being a sword than the current warlord equipment
The Blade of Conquest +2 -4 D3
Absolutely. The fine balance of a general. π

Custom tabletop battlefield immerses you into a fight for survival as a massive Tyranids force crashes against an Ultramarines base. In this Warhammer 40k in 40m battle there is 8000+ combined points on the table for massive mayhem.
Episode sponsor Gamemat.eu supplied the beautiful scatter terrain that further enhanced the battlefield. Check th...
I love this battle so far.
Aaaand my 3d printer's nozzle snapped off in the night 
soap-boxing for a moment: it always amazes me how much effort people will go to to be complete shitheads to each other simply because they don't like something in warhammer or what someone else does like and vice-versa. the amount of mental energy required to do that is just impressive and pathetic honestly
What happened? π
Legit. I don't care who or what you enjoy in Warhammer. Whatever faction you dig helps build the entire atmosphere. Everyone matters in the scheme of 40K. Everyone helps build the story.
So literally every faction is fucking dope because they all need each other to be interesting.
π
NO! FUCK YOU ELF BAD DORF GOOD!
^^ Agree... The mountains have spok... Wait... Ah, yeah, elves copied the mighty dawi
I was joking jfc 
Damn, a month without net and i'm already behind for acronyms
jesus fucking christ
ha
and ye terror, lotta people use settings as an outlet for shit
its pretty unhealthy the way people attatch to some factions
i guess i'm also speaking from a position where i can see how parts of the community are looking for any excuse to demonize each other and call people either a "bootlicker" or "hater". imma be real for a moment: if warhammer and GW make you that miserable, just quit and find another game. there are many games that are of objectively much better quality than warhammer out there.
on the other end if you blindly support GW that much to where you call everyone who has a lower opinion of them a hater and try to use mental gymnastics to justify their terrible decisions, you need to take a step back and realize that attaching that much of your personality to a company is not healthy at all.
pretty much ye
what gw did was wank, doesnt make treating sodaz the way the community did right
basically
Yeah like GW have always been shitbags
I hate them but Im not exactly gonna go on a parade about it
I do that enough with my Legalβ’οΈ-acquirings of WH+

its like "man that kinda sucks" but att he same time im here for the overall hobby so its w/e
yeah you can dislike the company and like the product
that doesnt make you a bootlicker
I myself will most likely never get WH+, but i will not begrudge anyone who does
They can't unrelease Only War and Warhammer Fantasy

Nozzle?
its a nozzle
the one that should be installed in my 3d printer right now
im not sure what happened last night
it was printing and i woke up to this 5 feet away from the printer and pile of spaghetti on my tray
π
Most civil Iron Warriors - Imperial Fists discussion
wish i woke up to a pile of spaghetti
Same tho
Ooo looks great
@sour hill now I realise that Helbrecht is going to be even stronger since like any BT he gains 2 attacks when charging
Thank you, I didnt know how to feel about painting them
PRAISE BE.
It just hit me
Also, your Krieger is coming along. Looks really good.
Love gritty, non-comical highlighted figures a lot.
Its hard to highlight guardsmen and really time consuming thats my only reason 
I only do some dry brushing hits on like parts...that are catching some lighting.
Yoooooo, looks sharp, well done
Thanks !
It begins

Is it even that good?
I thought it was good
Got an 80 on the Moist Meter
its overhyped as fuck and some of the scenes do go on a bit too long.
Heard the second half was wank
I have been enjoying it a lot with my wife. May not be for everyone
ig for many folks it was their first time seeing a solid battle royale/death game type show
the hunger games came move itself into the trash
We're watching it with subs. Maybe that helps?
All I know is I was crying pretty bad one episode.
Soooo
π€·ββοΈ
Yeah dub seems wank
The characters voices are wonderful in Korean.
Fits them really well.
Legit it's like watching an IRL anime. π
yeees
π
So good.
It's also nice seeing Asians of all sorts roles in a netflix(?) show
Also yeah that too
i cant believe they made anime in real life
Instead of just "kungfu man or fetishization, pick."
i hear someone even remade japan
LOL
I dunno. I think the overhype is just because people are used to consuming lots of garbage media and being excited by any and all new content even if it's shit.
Place
Place, Japan 
So when something actually good comes along people go fucking crazy.
Place
Place, Japan 
Instead of just enjoying it.
ngl the show is still bad in some parts
I am simply impressed by the beauty of the world
but its still great
Yee. Overall I love it.
they enjoy the beauty of this world
I guess it's also like uhhh Parasite
Now you know the reason why I have my tattoo.
some folks' first foray into "maybe capitalism not perfect??? hmm???"
π
LOL

certainly reminds me of the death game anime stuff I've seen
Yee. It is.
I hate capitalism actively takes part in it
but it's more corporate related rather than "death gods decide to meme really hard on this highschool in particular"
π
Gods hate teenagers
I'll remember to cease to exist next time 
I don't blame 'em
Definitely rooted more in "the world is fucking cruel and unfair".
this also for sure
looks like a bit of commentary on Korean work culture too?
the point at the end of the day being
Probably.
first foray into something with more narrative commentary
like people literally working themselves to death just to keep up with rent
General criticisms of asian work culture and how it's genuinely killing us inside a cool game where people die
and general financial issues shared by the growing Asian middle class
yeahhhh
Yay for the cult of work β€οΈ
like there was a story I watched recently where a guy in Seoul literally died of exhaustion due to working 2 jobs+overtime
Source: was poor Asian kid with parents who rode the economic booms in the 90s :^)
Be like China.
yup
996 is toxic as fuck too
What's their crazy work shit? 996
and thing is he had to do that JUST to cover living expenses
Yee
Thank god they're actually starting to crack down
fun fact: 996 has and always was illegal in China, the people literally forced themselves to do it anyways 
Cult of Work is insane
I was big into it as a kid
Went to 4 hours of afterschool classes etc etc because I thought if I just grinded schoolwork 12+ hours a day I would make it
I mean. I'm all for busting my ass. It got me where I am. But I need time to myself still to recover and be ready again.
Full time work, full time school, marriage is a lot to balance.
On top of still having time for self care and hobbies.
Be grateful for what you have but know what you're worth
well it's also like
the fuck is the point in working hard if the reward is...more work
Yee. And what it took to get here. That other people are trying to get to there too.
Make more money so I can travel and do more nice things to my house.
I just want to see more of the world. That's really all.
Go to Norway, Japan, see some cool culture and beautiful natural places.
And then just die.
Like any good person who just made an expensive purchase
I have neglected painting it

I vibe with this big time
996 has been illegal and iirc now they've made a proclamationc to enforce it more, which is nice
I'll trade you. I hate building but will paint all day.
We went to NZ. Ate dinner with a Maori tribe, saw all these beautiful caves and geothermal pools and hot springs and forests.
Best time of my life.
I just want to eat good food and see your natural beauty, you big stupid planet.
Then I'll die and disappear without a trace.
Is that really too much to ask?
I went to NZ and reminded them all they lost the rugby
I want to make enough money to support my parents in the future π
That is all
in the mean time
nice
Helllll yeah
adorable
god I love skinks so much
i really like the uh
the one solo guy that looks like a chameleon? i think
idk i thought there was a priest guy who looked like a chameleon but i cant find him
i think i was misremembering this guy
he looks so happy
hes so cute
A handsome lad so far
! That's gorgeous
His art seems like, elf put it this way, so mature compared to most 40k stuff of
someone in top left shooting at someone in bottom right
I love seeing eldar in like, modern looking ish battlefield vibes
he's a official GW artist too!
Not doing anime moves
Yeah! It works surprisingly well
He strut
I hope inquisitors gets rules in the new killteams, they barely had any rules in the old one but still
It was 1 model
For, hhh, either guard or deathwatch
A retinue KT would be neat
im bored so have a sloppily done painting :)
Pretty
Nice blade
thx
Good job on the cloak!
iirc i did like
4 different cloaks at the time
red, green, blue and a white icy one
painted em like
6 years ago
very proud of the purple armour still
@plush swift Ooooo. Love the contrast of colours!
that's the only way my colourblind ass can see the colours
i got a colorblind mate who sees bright blues as greens so all his orks are blue
the Ultramorons?
@elfin yew Did you read that one ? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/601926113958166538/897873575145512970/w7b06JdlMWoY2gN4.png
Dude on the left looks like he's making the "I don't fuckin know shit, boss" gesture
Oh I didnt. Wheres this from?
Also did U see the new Guard rules from Octarius
OH THIS IS A NEW BOOK
Big Hype
Pls dont be another bait, pls dont be another bait
F
Seems like it also yeah I saw the cadian supplement
Big cry
Oh, did you not think them good?
I thought the new conscript rules seemed rlly funny
Whiteshield spam
Def not like, a solution to guard's troubles but something neat
Yeah the whiteshield one was the only decent one
Cadia Stands! Seems like a okay stratagem too
+1 save ontop of possibly being able to pop Get Down! Could rlly boost survivability for chaff against what usually clears them
+1 only for d1 weapons
Yee, which is usually the best weapons to clear chaff
yeah but doesn't syenrgize witht he first part
Oh yeah the 1-2 wound part
Imo they should make it 1-3, so s4 weapons would be effectively s3
Since, with the last FAQ unmodified rolls of 1 don't take in account modifiers lmao
Yeep
Yeah its another Take cover only for cadian infantry
The reserve warlord trait is only good if you want to make a leman russ do flank for cheap, but it fights for the same place as the additional tank ace.
White shield is cool, makes conscripts more useful, the leadership part isn't really an issue since you always paired them with a commissar anyway
I like how in the article they mentioned the titan ambush meme, but the trait doesnt actually apply to titanic
Creed still in the cooler
Yeah too bad he is in a Pokeball rn
also RIP Bastonne
You could have kept your shitty power sword with you in death tho
LMAO
That's like the 4th bad power sword for guardsmen
Meanwhile space marines have the fucking flaming sword
Sorry about the malding, I'm just mad that the only changes are for Cadian, and while they definitely needed it, its not nearly enough to make them ok enough
Yee for sure
I feel the same way abt the nid changes, but even those were better
Since they were genuinely good + apply outside of one faction
Nah the synapse is good
Yee
Yeah not enough to make them on par with good armies but its definitly good
Like nothing the IG got is on the same scale as synapse
Plus what you said : (
Ah yes the faction where 50% of units and 70% of stratagems are made for them in mind
I hope however that the new GSC book is good
I meant the new book 
Unintentionnaly Gav'ed
Oh, I just realised that my app for my e books has an in built voice reader
Nice
GSC books be like: Named after cult things, has cult on cover, focuses on a cult
Main character: admech
π€
Imagine if you opened up Space Marine 6000, Marine Heroism and the main character was a kroot
I did some research on the author
Seems pretty good, also has experience writing gritty sci-fi
Yeah I'm sure it'll be a good book
The question is: will it be a good cult book
Because Spiral Dawn is a good book, a good Guard book
Yeeep
I wouldn't mind reading a good gsc book tho
Id fuckin pig out lmao that be great

Kroot mimicking SM and CSM voices ,cause he ate high ranking marines from each side, to make the battle go all fucky
I could see some nurgle like stuff looking kinda like this https://www.pinterest.com/pin/2955555996514227/
hey isnt there a model with a snake tail?
like not the big one
but like
a normal sized one?
there are smol snake ladies in the same AoS roster as morathi yeah
i want to use the snake tails for my emperor's children mutants and maybe cultists
same
Puddles did something similar for Chaos SoB
they should be roughly the right scale, idk how their kit works but
lmao the attempt to trigger sob stans
i know someone is making an STL for tails for chaos space marines
snail
snake
tails
holy fuck why are they so expensive
ill just buy the bits offline
Always wondered what a good price is for stls
Can confirm but lost the passion for the project
Because the kits can be built as two different units
@compact umbra can confirm the snake ladies' tails would fit the bottom half of marines pretty well with just a little green stuff
Theyre concave at the bottom
So youll prob need some green stuff to make it a flat surface to stick the marine on
Ah okay, I was primarily just gonna use it for the greater possesed
Abs more mutated marines
So thatβs sick! Thanks
@vivid rune first
cool snek
I like her pet
Yoooo 
Moma Hormagaunt and her litter
π π π
Total MILF
Working to try and complete all my Necron warriors today.
I think I'm going to add a thin black line or two to each base too to make them more interesting
And maybe some red rust to the Necron themselves.
I am so used to the old necrons the solid gun look weird to me
In what way?
I'm too used to necrons looking like this
Lego lightsabers pieces
LEGIT
Beautiful colors!
I feel the same way about my realm lord cavalry lmao
the second are fw or kitbash?
Love your Kriegers!
I think I need to darken my Necron more.
I wanted the weapons to be that yellow gold, but I want them to be darker.
The first wash pass doesn't contrast them enough for my liking
3d printed
my own
the arms are from the krieg box tho
I just wanted the full roaster available
they look goodie
They look great. Legit.
Thanks ! now its the orks turns

Unnecessary hair knot change yes/no?
When you forgo making your helmet airtight and drill a hole in the helmet so you can pull your sickass ponytail out the top

Tbf hes missing the top half of the helmet anyway 
Just not sure if i should go for the long hair
his og top knot looks good enough
if you want to give him abit more flare i'd go for the other
Yeah i think i stick with the og one, i would have to place the new one in a way that makes him look like an emo lol
Emo marine
Emo Marines and scene girl SoB
Thank you! π
hey what bits are good for emperor's children, to make them more like, mutated and fucked up
hey do the noise marine sonic weapons awfully molded or is it just how it was painted
Could be both. They are definitely old
And as far as mutations go?
You could use poxwalker bits and stuff to give them interesting growths.
Otherwise green stuff babyyyy
I love their angry little shoulders
They arent that bad irl
I got em
Also pro tip dont strip resin minis with methylated spirit, i have to get some new bits now
Oof yeah, I've never really landed on a method for stripping resin that I'm happy with
It's really tough trying to find something gentle enough on the mini itself that still breaks down the paint
oh yea that seems perfect
a few of them at lest
and yea ill probably use alto fo green stuff
i just need to work on trying to make like, skin and crap out of it
Yee. They have fun horns and growths and stuff.
Give them a second, chaotic head and shit.
Chaos fucking rules.
I feel like it's a toss up between Orks and Chaos for how much weird stuff you can throw on your models
I would say that orks win that hands down... Like, once you could legitimately take everything and use it as some weird stuff looted by orks
,, this seems unwise
It was done for SCIENCE! i imagine
I HAVE THE TAU-WER
the 2 players caught in the blast somehow made their saves
RNG jesus was on their side
that looks like a ss13 gamew
Flashbang out
Rip
carrot in bucket
Why are they doing my man carrot bucket dirty like that
He THICC
Knights first game, he both survived and brought me the victory!
That volcano lance is ridiculous, eats terminators for breakfast
Im trying to draw a kelermorph, but i got to do it digitally
Or atleast with erase powers
Pen only at the bar is rough
do u have a drawing pad or smthn?
Like an ipad? I have a cintiq 17 hd at home
if u can use it for drawing then that def works. i can't really do anything digitally without one
esp given how many details there are on gsc vibes
Yea its a proper tablet, i was just out at the bar with a pad and pen
But after i walk the doge ill give it a crack
I might do detail heavy but i also just want an action sketch
My friend has been pumping out cowboys recently so i wanna do a 40k cowboy
hell yeah
Speaking of Kelers
Does anyone know where I can get like
a tiny cowboy hat
I desperately need one for my keler
DSHFN
Depends on the models
a keller
Minimum of 25mm i think for marines
I think it's 28mm
kk
I was thinking of just finding the bi tsomewhere too tbh
Jean is right actualy
I'm p sure I saw someone making tiny cowboy hats for admech
Which would work just fine
I was working on that for the hexmark, even made him guns
Nice
I wanna try him out, but all i face are space marines
I also had the fun thought of Kelermorph, but another legendary 'icon' instead of cowboys
Ex) Kelermorph but Neo from the Matrix styled instead lmao
He's starting to believe
lmao
Ayyyy. Grats dude!
Another Deathwatch brother. β€οΈ
Death to the aliens and all that, wot wot
Crab people Crab people Crab people...
taste like crab, talk like people
U gotta leave the bases like dis? Also how did you paint their bodies? Looks sick!
I'm probably going to do the rim of the bases with a SUPER dark wash so they are a little differentiated.
I used a matte metallic gold primer, top coated with a heavy wash of black templar.
Everything else has just been OSL either reflecting from the floor stripe or from the weapons.
They're gonna be waking up underground anyways and have LEDs illuminating them overhead.
Maybe red LEDs.
Hopefully the green glows nicely in it.
We'll see.
Done. DONE
All 10 warriors.
Just gotta let them cure for a few hours and then varnish away.
God bless.
Hell yeah!
Lookin great!
Will finish at least but not limited to one mini this weekend
(Will also post pics ofc)
Got 30 minutes to finish his chasity belt!
Gonna do the legs next most likely finishing them tonight
Myes, myes. Goooooood
@vivid rune I LOVE THIS. Also your light box is so good for this.
All the details pop so nicely.
I should invest in one for my stupid pictures.
Theyre so good, ill dm you mine when im on break at work
@sour hill i love the Slaangor models so much, everything about them is perfect. Its too bad their one of THE worst units in a really bad army
Who knows, maybe theyll show up in a future Emp children codex
Helllll yes.
I saw a dope video about an old Daemonette model too.
Love the model and paint job he did.
In this video Jay talks about the history and paints the infamous Juan Diaz Daemonettes on Steed of Slaanesh. We have new videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! We're streaming Monday-Saturday starting at 9PM CST!! JOIN USSSS! Thanks for watching!
We have a Patreon! Support us here and get more content!:
https://www.patreon.com/eonsofbattle...
Wasn't as clickbait as you'd think.
π
There were plenty of tit deamonettes
These are like 2nd Edition I guess?
Yee.
I don't use a lot of painting techniques. Makes me feel like a failure seeing people wet blend and glaze.
But whatever.
Thought the same when i started painting, didnt even bother using washes. Now i edge highlight and glaze the shit out of everything. I still suck but at least im slowly improving. Recommend the same, try new techniques!
Also for anybody interrested, here is basically every single citadel catalogue from 1980 to 2010, completely digitalized. Was very hyped when i found it the first time http://www.solegends.com/citadel/catindex.htm
For sure. This weekend was my first dab into OSL and I'm happy with it.
Ngl i didnt try osl yet, didnt find a mini to try it on yet. But thats just a lazy excuse because im afraid of fucking up tbh
Yee but like i gotta buy em first π
The talent is absolutely something else.
But I honestly wouldn't want my army to all look like that.
But for some like... "Book case" figures. Yes please.
I thought that was a render
Smoothness aint as important as color choice and placement tho
yes
but smoothening your gradiant/fadeover is how these styles are achieved to begin with
you have to know what to go over to tho
Just start practicing NMMs and youll get there
That and just looking at the boxart of the model for reference on how light reacts to the true metalics
I'm going to be trying my hand at making an Admech costume for halloween this year. It's gonna be fairly cheap and half-assed but I've got a few ideas to make it at least semi-decent.
Kk imma stop drawing EC things before the purple daemon limousine shows up in front of my door
Fella could use a manicure
If ur nails can pierce an energy field, u wanna grow em long
Also they might be retractible who knows its chaos
Hot dang
Lov the eaters helmet and pack, and the big ol stompy leg on the IW is great
Needs a yellow helm under it tho π€
Lol
He's a traitorous Iron Hand that realized he was part of the inferior Iron Legion ;)
Thanks 
I wanna get the big gun boys
Maugan raβs chaps
Just like 1 and ill give the rest away
I like how they look
Dark reapers yess
marge simpson potato meme
Funnily enough, those are one of the few units I don't want to get until they're updated
they just look a lil funny to me
Maugan Ra is objectively the best Phoenix Lord
And yes that's right
leaves without elaborating
An eldar after me Iron Warrior heart
god I hope he'd get a update
I really like that every other phoenix lord is all agile and deadly
While Maugan Ra is just
I think the leak said we're getting the Shining Spear phoenix lord, and a karandras+asurmen update I think?
"I will stand still and shoot you to death. You cannot move me."
Legend
π
It was the same leaked with the BT and GSC/Custodes thing I think??
Unless it was another one
That's the main one I trust, so I hope It was that one
Essentially it said CWE will get a "good sized, yet incomplete" update sometime 2022
I think new Spears+Drastana and OH it was new hawks and bahharoth
So Spears, Hawks, Baharroth and Drastana
Sounds like they might do CWE like what they're (allegedly) doing for Chaos
2 fold range update
Yee I think that's the plan
Chaos and CWE 2022 big updates
I hope with more to drip after that for CWE, there's just
so much to be updated
Guardians, Dark Reapers, Fire Dragons, most of the phoenix lords
asurmen especially, god
They better keep is big back banner
I hope so
I will riot 
I LOVE the banners
if they don't
I think Avenger exarchs have one too
I wish that the glaive was better
Thinking about how I want to build mine
I don't think my LGS does WYSIWYG luckily, since the Glaive+Shimmershield looks cool af but the double shurikens is better ruleswise
I like the duel disks eldar units have
Nooooo I have so many Blade Lords to do for my realm lords. D:
I should specify
*for 40k
AoS stays winning 
To be honest I still kinda like the standards? They always look... well pretty cool tbh
tbf those models set a pretty high standard
Lumineth got me wanting to start an elves army 
I think they're very cool (read: many banners)
Correct
Lov the banners
Im waiting on Umbraneth to weigh my many elf flavors for AoS
Good trophies to take
I already now have a shelf of every aeldari faction from 40k between elf and i's armies
Damn get that person who does the hot glue ctans and a glass blower to make you a craftworld
I will print a manta i stg
I'm honestly thinking of getting someone to print me some Asuryani vessels to hang above them(depending on how much they weigh)
Im p sure Asuryani had Gothic models
y'all play BFG?
Unless it was just corsairs, but they are basically the same ships
Bfg
I want to
Yee I'm getting aeronauticulus soon for my fill
Whats it stand for im dumb
Battefleet Gothic
Just funkin put it together lmao
just the vidya
But yeah, the tabletop is Neat
i wish they still made the tabletop
Lov the tau ships so much
I'm stuck between if I want to get Aeldari ships, or Imperial Navy ones and hanging GSC iconography on the sides
Uhhhhg demiuge?
Big ol ponty one?
I play a chaos armada consisting entirely of crusiers filled with angry goons ready to board enemy ships and die in CQB
Ooooh shit yea
I'm still hoping they'll bring it back someday for more fleet types and such
as opposed to the military ones which look like the typical manta ray designs
I lov those. Remind me of the tankers in StarSector
I want to print the Iron Blood sometime
yee
im a slut for that sorta spaceship aesthetic
Isn't that the difference between the Protector and the Merchant fleets?
yee
Damn wish we got some tau trading lore that be cool
merchant fleets are heavily armed but not dedicated armed vessel vibes, protector fleets are a new innovation of ships made purely for homicide
we do have some but mainly just as it pertains to expansion
I like the despoiler class battleships
e.g. trade is generally the second-ish step to securing a plannet
first is establish diplomatic relations with the higher ups so you can have communications, then u start wooing said higher ups with trading ur fancy technology and normalising tau presence and tech that way + making them dependent on it if u can
then later on u get the military occupation and all
One of my favorite tau-diplomacy interactions is when they armed a Genestealer Cult with pulse rifles to overthrow the imperial government, which shortly got turned on them too
Thinking they were just regular rebels
Good try Tau
taliban hours
isn't there a new GSC novel out?
oops shouldn't have armed those
It's coming out in 2022

But it's already written apparently
Tau = NATO takes getting good
This film is dedicated to our brave Rusted Claw fighters in the Ultima Segmentum
hey no
SAD
american cons blood pressure is raised when they're told do anything
huge Gulf War US vibes
2021 tau vs 2015 tau is like a completely fucking different faction
including take the trash outside
That's how GSC are too
Yea they are like. Federation on 40k crack
for some reason
Old Tau lore was pretty umch just a british man's take on eastern societies
old GSC lore was a british conservative's take on revolutions
From what I know about the T'au
Now GSC are being more fluffed towards a rightwing death cult, moreso than their 'revolutionary' sort of vibes. It's still there tho, so idc
accept our reasonable and fair terms or we blast ur planet out of the sky with ion cannons
The rightwing deathcult stuf fis of course very topical now as well FHNF
YEP
they line up with the whole "We're here to spread peace and good times! By force! Through interventionism! Join our federation!"
Yeap
cus remember kids, the greater good dont play favourites
"If you don't we'll pressure you through shady activity until you do!"
I wonder what the taus CIA is called
Water caste
ethereals say it is in the best interests of the galaxy that ur planet gets taken
LOL
literally
So I've always associated T'au with Neoconservatism to a pretty strong degree
I know but still, its funny
high ranking water caste members are basically the tau inquisition
Water caste do so many different things, it's wild
from investigators, to clerical work
Some por la just passing gsc guns
Isn;t one of the super high ranking water caste possessed by a tzeentch daemon
and can, disturbingly, do their job a good deal better than that inquisition
Tau and deamon is a contested topic its annoying
that was in one of the farsight books yee
how so?
man gets a lil too touchy with a fucky warp drive and gets bird'd
Writers keep changing the narrative on how tau get possessed/effected by the warp
Yeah so basically the vibe is that tau are meant to be virtually immune to the warp cus they have like, tiny souls
The most recent claim being that they "don't work like that"
when asked about being possessed
Gotcha
The creator of the Tau literally said they are immune to corruption lmao. I hate it
Yea
but yeah it's not super constant
The way I figured it, with both, is that possession and corruption are different
So Tau can be possessed, but not corrupted??
I'll choose to ignore what the creator fo the tau said
Idk

my hc on it is just that tau are mostly immune to corruption, cus they're numb to warp stuff in general, but like. small soul aint no soul
can still get fucked with
Iyea
Man I still can't get over what ADB did to undivided
If only he wrote only poopy books >:(
But noooo he had to write First Heretic and basically become GW's go-to Chaos author
There was a fun bit in one short story which was like. A hive city that was subject to a chaos invasion centuries ago and still carries hella taint, so all of the human gue'vesa in the tau expedition have this constant feeling of dread when they're there
which the tau themselves can't feel at all
cus it's just imperceptible to them
Is that the taus society is so logical and driven thru science that they have the power of unbelief agains chaos
Like
βThat shit dont make sense im just tiredβ
re'ddit atheism users of the empire defeat daemons with facts and logic
the tau philosophy is actually usually written as like, quasi spiritual
And the deamon just like wait hild up
to the extent that they accidentally spawned a lil warp entity representing the greater good
tho it's been mentioned like,, once
That was the auxillaries
The humans did, not them
and never again so dont take it with too much salt
Yeap
Tau'va DESTROYS corrupted Gue'ron'sha with FACTS and LOGIC
yee cus the tau dont have enough of a soul to will warp stuff into being
but still
tau just like OH MY FUCKING GOD YALL JUST HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER GOD HUH
Everyone says i sound like him so makes sense im a tau main
B'en Sh'api'ro
my condolences
I preferred there being no god related to the tau, I like some godless factions(Idoneth time)
yee same
Yeap
Teclis is a bastardo
like, i like them as a sci fi race dropped into a space fantasy setting
tho with that said the weird tau'va god is kinda fun just as a like. weird creepy guardian angel, as opposed to an actual deity
kinda gives the tau a lil more credence when there's smthn watching their back
OGSRFD
Another reason why Broken Realms: Teclis was the hero losing to the villain π
HES GOING FOR ROBOUTE
π©
gonna roast roboute into going back to sleep
Spirit Aunva drops bars on Guilliman and unbinds the shit keeping him alive
god
I'm waiting for the day a Avatar of Khaine actually wins a major fight
they have greater daemon syndrome
Ahahaha....
they exist to make main characters look cool
Never will happen.
One showed up in Seer and never actually was shown fighting iirc
