Powercreep resurgence as helbrecht brings 12 attacks with him

#

Damn this guy is packing enough heat to destroy vehicles

sour hill
#

Combi Melta.

#

I wonder how many points that Black Templar army box is actually going to be?

#

Is that a 500 point box?

edgy cipher
#

Whats the box content again ?

hoary ermine
#

Cum

edgy cipher
#

So 2 characters, 1 neophyte squad and one dread

elfin yew
#

Drazhar could still whip him

edgy cipher
#

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

sour hill
#

Sickkk

#

Okay good.

#

Get me a Helbrecht, a Grimaldus and a ton of assault intercessors.

#

Frontline smash.

edgy cipher
#

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

sour hill
#

Leading from the front lines like he was meant to.

#

Really stoked that they captured his character in that way.

sour hill
#

The Cadia Stands is sick

#

Also White shields is nice too.

Sad to hear that Lukas died

#

Such a shame

twilit cliff
#

who?

#

Ohh i see

green cave
#

Lukas Bastonne

edgy cipher
sour hill
#

What? How.

edgy cipher
#

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

sour hill
#

Are there not higher priority Cadian infantry units you'd want to protect or give some additional resistance to when holding OBJs?

#

Ah. πŸ˜”

edgy cipher
#

Plus gaurdsmen already have a better cover stratagem

sour hill
#

I havent kept up with the FAQs.

#

Looking at it in a vacuum it looked good.

#

GG

edgy cipher
#

Yeah I know

#

Sadly its not that good, well atleast it saves you the use of "Take Cover" stratagem

sour hill
#

What's the CP cost for Take Cover?

edgy cipher
#

1

#

But atleast it means you can essentially bolster the save of 2 units

sour hill
#

Yeah. ;/

edgy cipher
#

Whiteshield tho ?

#

Amazing

sour hill
#

Do you have the strategem block for Take Cover?

#

I'm just curious what the point of this new one would be.

edgy cipher
#

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 opponent’s 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

sour hill
#

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.

edgy cipher
#

Heh

sour hill
#

Take Cover on Bullgryns. Smug

edgy cipher
#

Yeah enjoy that 1+ save

#

I still think Cadia Stands is not that good

sour hill
#

I need to finally start playing table top.

#

I wanna fuck around with all this cool shit.

edgy cipher
#

Althought, I'm saddened that a Guard power sword relic is barely better than a standard space marine power sword

sour hill
#

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.

edgy cipher
#

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

sour hill
#

Absolutely. The fine balance of a general. 😎

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.

I love this battle so far.

Isn't that the one with the tyranid waifu proxy ?

Aaaand my 3d printer's nozzle snapped off in the night feelsbad

#

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

sour hill
#

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.

fuckkkkk

hasty sorrel
#

ha

#

and ye terror, lotta people use settings as an outlet for shit

#

its pretty unhealthy the way people attatch to some factions

bold copper
#

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.

hasty sorrel
#

pretty much ye

#

what gw did was wank, doesnt make treating sodaz the way the community did right

hasty sorrel
#

basically

crisp forge
#

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 Legalℒ️-acquirings of WH+

hasty sorrel
#

its like "man that kinda sucks" but att he same time im here for the overall hobby so its w/e

crisp forge
#

yeah you can dislike the company and like the product

#

that doesnt make you a bootlicker

bold copper
#

I myself will most likely never get WH+, but i will not begrudge anyone who does

crisp forge

Yeah even if you want to dont get it atm

It just hit me

Also, your Krieger is coming along. Looks really good.

#

Love gritty, non-comical highlighted figures a lot.

edgy cipher

Its hard to highlight guardsmen and really time consuming thats my only reason lul

I only do some dry brushing hits on like parts...that are catching some lighting.

Is it even that good?

verbal sapphire
#

I thought it was good

crisp forge
#

Its actually really good

#

BUT

rose sluice
#

Got an 80 on the Moist Meter

crisp forge
#

its overhyped as fuck and some of the scenes do go on a bit too long.

rose sluice
#

Heard the second half was wank

crisp forge
#

yep a bit

#

Like I sad its great but people overhype the hell out of it

sour hill
#

I have been enjoying it a lot with my wife. May not be for everyone

verbal sapphire
#

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

sour hill
#

We're watching it with subs. Maybe that helps?

#

All I know is I was crying pretty bad one episode.

#

Soooo

#

πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

rose sluice
#

Yeah dub seems wank

sour hill
#

The characters voices are wonderful in Korean.

#

Fits them really well.

#

Legit it's like watching an IRL anime. πŸ˜‚

rose sluice
#

I’d imagine so

#

Pog

#

Love animer

crisp forge
#

Also seeing someone that wasnt Korean

#

Ali is the chad

verbal sapphire

yeees

sour hill

πŸ’–

verbal sapphire

Ali is based as hell

#

^literally Ali

sour hill
#

So good.

verbal sapphire
#

It's also nice seeing Asians of all sorts roles in a netflix(?) show

sour hill
#

No spoilers. πŸ™

#

But yee. Super well written

crisp forge
#

Also yeah that too

hasty sorrel
#

i cant believe they made anime in real life

verbal sapphire
#

Instead of just "kungfu man or fetishization, pick."

hasty sorrel
#

i hear someone even remade japan

crisp forge
#

LOL

sour hill
#

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.

rose sluice
#

Place QuiGonSleep Place, Japan pardontyr

sour hill
#

So when something actually good comes along people go fucking crazy.

crisp forge
#

People really consume korean media a lot yeah

#

YEP

verbal sapphire
#

Place CEASE Place, Japan CEASE

sour hill
#

Instead of just enjoying it.

crisp forge
#

ngl the show is still bad in some parts

verbal sapphire

I am simply impressed by the beauty of the world

crisp forge

but its still great

sour hill

Yee. Overall I love it.

rose sluice

I guess it's also like uhhh Parasite

some folks' first foray into "maybe capitalism not perfect??? hmm???"

sour hill
#

πŸ™

crisp forge
#

LOL

verbal sapphire
crisp forge
#

how about

#

no

proud gorge
#

certainly reminds me of the death game anime stuff I've seen

sour hill
#

Yee. It is.

rose sluice
#

I hate capitalism actively takes part in it

sour hill
#

Just a well done live action one

#

πŸ™

proud gorge
#

but it's more corporate related rather than "death gods decide to meme really hard on this highschool in particular"

sour hill
#

πŸ˜‚

rose sluice
#

Gods hate teenagers

verbal sapphire
proud gorge
#

I don't blame 'em

sour hill
#

Definitely rooted more in "the world is fucking cruel and unfair".

verbal sapphire
#

this also for sure

proud gorge
#

looks like a bit of commentary on Korean work culture too?

verbal sapphire
#

the point at the end of the day being

sour hill
#

Probably.

crisp forge
#

also

#

uh

verbal sapphire
#

first foray into something with more narrative commentary

proud gorge
#

like people literally working themselves to death just to keep up with rent

crisp forge
#

"dont gamble like a fucking idiot"

verbal sapphire
#

It was a lot like uhhh

#

that one manga I read when I was a kid

#

Kaiji

sour hill
#

Speaking of anime and Japan.

#

I need to keep watching GitS again

verbal sapphire
#

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

proud gorge
#

yeahhhh

dusk hill
#

Yay for the cult of work ❀️

proud gorge
#

like there was a story I watched recently where a guy in Seoul literally died of exhaustion due to working 2 jobs+overtime

verbal sapphire
#

Source: was poor Asian kid with parents who rode the economic booms in the 90s :^)

sour hill
#

Be like China.

verbal sapphire
#

996 is toxic as fuck too

sour hill
#

What's their crazy work shit? 996

proud gorge
#

and thing is he had to do that JUST to cover living expenses

sour hill
#

Yee

verbal sapphire
#

Thank god they're actually starting to crack down

sour hill
#

9 AM to 9PM 6 days a week.

#

Sorry folks, I'd literally kill myself.

proud gorge
#

that's the thing

#

996 is literally suicide...just really drawn out

verbal sapphire
#

fun fact: 996 has and always was illegal in China, the people literally forced themselves to do it anyways Pepega

#

Cult of Work is insane

proud gorge
#

b-but

#

bootstraps

verbal sapphire
#

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

sour hill
#

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.

verbal sapphire
#

Be grateful for what you have but know what you're worth

proud gorge
#

well it's also like

#

the fuck is the point in working hard if the reward is...more work

sour hill
#

Yee. And what it took to get here. That other people are trying to get to there too.

verbal sapphire
#

uhhh

#

anyways

#

hobby stuff

sour hill
#

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.

verbal sapphire
#

Like any good person who just made an expensive purchase

#

I have neglected painting it

verbal sapphire
elfin yew
#

996 has been illegal and iirc now they've made a proclamationc to enforce it more, which is nice

sour hill
verbal sapphire
#

I don't mind painting but it's a recast warhound and my airbrush broke

sour hill
#

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?

proud gorge
#

I went to NZ and reminded them all they lost the rugby

sour hill
#

Ah yes.

#

You have lost the sports ball once again.

#

Take that, country.

proud gorge
#

it's tradition

#

the ANZ dynamic must be maintained at all costs

sour hill
#

Someone had posted a fucking GREAT meme I should have saved about NZ.

Big cry

elfin yew
#

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

edgy cipher
#

Yeah the whiteshield one was the only decent one

elfin yew
#

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

edgy cipher
#

+1 only for d1 weapons

elfin yew
#

Yee, which is usually the best weapons to clear chaff

edgy cipher
#

yeah but doesn't syenrgize witht he first part

elfin yew
#

Oh yeah the 1-2 wound part

#

Imo they should make it 1-3, so s4 weapons would be effectively s3

edgy cipher
#

Since, with the last FAQ unmodified rolls of 1 don't take in account modifiers lmao

elfin yew
#

Yeep

edgy cipher
#

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

elfin yew
#

I like how in the article they mentioned the titan ambush meme, but the trait doesnt actually apply to titanic

edgy cipher
#

Yeah lul

#

No Creed

elfin yew
#

Creed still in the cooler

edgy cipher
#

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

elfin yew
#

LMAO

edgy cipher
#

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

elfin yew
#

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

edgy cipher
#

Nah the synapse is good

elfin yew
#

Yee

edgy cipher
#

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 : (

elfin yew
#

I dont rlly like it when one subfaction is leagues buffed above others

#

cough Mars

edgy cipher
#

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

elfin yew
#

I think it will be

#

All the full codices have been p good

edgy cipher
#

I meant the new book lul

elfin yew
#

Oh! Yes

#

Im a bit worried that It'll be a bait for me to read admech

#

But we shall c

edgy cipher
#

Unintentionnaly Gav'ed

#

Oh, I just realised that my app for my e books has an in built voice reader

#

Nice

elfin yew
#

GSC books be like: Named after cult things, has cult on cover, focuses on a cult

#

Main character: admech

#

πŸ€”

#

Imagine if you opened up Space Marine 6000, Marine Heroism and the main character was a kroot

edgy cipher
#

I did some research on the author

#

Seems pretty good, also has experience writing gritty sci-fi

elfin yew
#

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

vivid rune

#

@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

compact umbra

Ah okay, I was primarily just gonna use it for the greater possesed

Abs more mutated marines

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

sour hill
#

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

void orchid
#

I love their angry little shoulders

lapis tundra
#

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

void orchid
#

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

compact umbra

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

7 done.

3 more.

lapis tundra
#

U gotta leave the bases like dis? Also how did you paint their bodies? Looks sick!

sour hill
#

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.

lapis tundra

Oh hell yeah!

Thx!

Done. DONE

All 10 warriors.

@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.

vivid rune
#

@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

sour hill
#

Helllll yes.

#

I saw a dope video about an old Daemonette model too.

#

Love the model and paint job he did.

#

Wasn't as clickbait as you'd think.

There were plenty of tit deamonettes

These are like 2nd Edition I guess?

lapis tundra

I think so

Very early 40k for sure

I don't use a lot of painting techniques. Makes me feel like a failure seeing people wet blend and glaze.

But whatever.

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

Not bad.

lapis tundra

Fucking how

#

God i wish i could even get close to that

sour hill
#

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.

median pumice
#

I thought that was a render

hoary ermine

this is

as mean as this sounds just learning how to properly fade over colors

lapis tundra
#

Smoothness aint as important as color choice and placement tho

hoary ermine
#

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

That and just looking at the boxart of the model for reference on how light reacts to the true metalics

elfin yew

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

verbal sapphire
#

Sounds like they might do CWE like what they're (allegedly) doing for Chaos

#

2 fold range update

elfin yew
#

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

#

Damn wish we got some tau trading lore that be cool

dusk hill
#

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

verbal sapphire
#

I like the despoiler class battleships

dusk hill
#

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

elfin yew

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

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

man gets a lil too touchy with a fucky warp drive and gets bird'd

elfin yew
#

Writers keep changing the narrative on how tau get possessed/effected by the warp

dusk hill
#

Yeah so basically the vibe is that tau are meant to be virtually immune to the warp cus they have like, tiny souls

elfin yew
#

The most recent claim being that they "don't work like that"

#

when asked about being possessed

verbal sapphire
#

Gotcha

untold pier
#

Yea

dusk hill
#

but yeah it's not super constant

verbal sapphire
#

You know what

#

like much of ADB's takes on 40k chaos

elfin yew
#

The way I figured it, with both, is that possession and corruption are different

#

So Tau can be possessed, but not corrupted??

verbal sapphire
#

I'll choose to ignore what the creator fo the tau said

elfin yew
#

Idk

verbal sapphire
dusk hill
#

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

My take

verbal sapphire
#

If only he wrote only poopy books >:(

#

But noooo he had to write First Heretic and basically become GW's go-to Chaos author

dusk hill
#

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

untold pier
#

Is that the taus society is so logical and driven thru science that they have the power of unbelief agains chaos

#

Like

#

β€œThat shit dont make sense im just tired”

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
