[proud gorge]

[compact umbra]

Also, the new tau KT, is it normal tau or do they have special crap?

[rain void]

its firewarriors, pathfinders, or stealths

kroot technically are their own thing too

most they can bring with are drones

[compact umbra]

Stealth Kroot?

OH

YEA

I was fuckinh imagining Kroot in like, a gullie suit

But you meant 2 different things

[rain void]

yea

stealth suited tau

[elfin yew]

For now It's just a regular one until the Pathfinder team gets released

Also yeah, for some reason Kroot and Tau got seperated

which is rlly funny because all of kroot's model are fucking ancient

[rain void]

kroot can bring krootox but thats the extent of something heavy from the tau dex

[compact umbra]

Wait, people don’t 3d print Kroot? I’ve never met anyone who used like the actual official Kroot modes

I know people use the krootox tho

Ok mayeb that’s because I don’t talk to taunplayers

[rain void]

well the conga line guy did since that was a GW event

[compact umbra]

OH YEA THAT FUCKING ROGUE TRADER MDOEL UFCKIBG BANGS

[rain void]

there was also the blackstone fortress one

[compact umbra]

Yes that’s th e one I’m taking about

It’s so

Good

God I want new RT KT rules

Like, just grab a random model from a few different armies

[lapis tundra]

Yooo

In case you didnt decide yet i would go for orange

https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/920x950/99120102098_CSMSquad03.jpg

Something like this perhaps

[plush swift]

[verbal sapphire]

Big fan of the weathering

[lapis tundra]

[arctic ridge]

[crisp forge]

he DO be a boi tho

[opal egret]

God those newer Chaos models are great.

[lapis tundra]

Yess

Also reminder for me to continue painting my terminator

[twilit cliff]

im might be blind and stupid but what's the difference with these new csm?

[sour hill]

Alright, yeah. Orange plasma looks great.

My DW already has red weapons which I'm trying to completely avoid.

So my BT will have black and brass.

[lapis tundra]

Bless

[lapis tundra]

Way better proportions, better details, proper scale ect ect

[opal egret]

They're higher quality across the board.

Holy FUCK this is a great cosplay.

[solar garden]

Holy shit

That does not look real

That's amazing

[vivid rune]

Holy shit thats amazing

[dusk hill]

Yee professional cosplay types don't fuck around

[hasty sorrel]

ye thats been about for a while

its flat just

the best 40k cosplay

[crisp forge]

Yeah its clearly inspired by the DOW3 trailer

the wraithbone texture is exactly the same, it looks amazing

[lapis tundra]

Oh it 100% does

Saw a vid to that cosplay ages ago, lemme find it

https://youtu.be/mMscJH8uRug

There, 5 years ago 🙏

[hoary ermine]

Chief is that the accurate costume?

i cant imagine the hours of just staring and trying to figure out if that part is truly finished

[plush swift]

The image is great but it still reminds me of DoW 3.

[crisp forge]

Yes uh

thats kinda the point

[rose sluice]

[void orchid]

God what a sick trailer that was

[lapis tundra]

Trailer gud gaem bad

[crisp forge]

the only good thing about the game tbh lol

[proud gorge]

powerful

[sour hill]

My arm is completed. 1 down.

[median pumice]

That is cleaaaan

[sour hill]

The purple is a little cloudy around it. I'll probably Nuln the purple to help lessen the brightness on the black.

[void orchid]

Sick bruh

I think the effect looks great as is

[sour hill]

Purple was the move. With so much being black/gold it just pops. Purple is such a pretty colour 😳

Really?

I'll leave it. 💖

[void orchid]

Yee

It's supposed to stand out

Sells the effect better even under bright lighting too

[slate swallow]

I disagree, did you hear the ork theme. Now that was the best part

[sour hill]

Bet. 💖

I used some very high rated tutorial. Helped me get a feel for what I wanted to do.

https://youtu.be/fRYM2sughuo

[edgy cipher]

That's a real nice plasma effect well done

@hoary ermine Hehehe. As time goes on you'll see. Shiny gold and black Redemptor.

I'm making this guy to honour my dad.

[sage matrix]

That’s awesome man! If you ever need pointers or ideas I’m happy to help out!

[hoary ermine]

👌

[sage matrix]

I’m in the process of painting my own redemptor too!

[hoary ermine]

pog plating

[sour hill]

Yessss! I saw. Good luck with it. I love the added details you've got on yours.

And also thanks for offering help/advice. :] I'll make sure to pick your brain. You're one of the best painters in here so it's appreciated!

[near jungle]

burna boy from the OG dawn of war trailer

[sour hill]

Oh nice job! Is this yours?

[near jungle]

Yup!

[lapis tundra]

Holy fuck 😳

[lapis tundra]

Next marine kitbash wip 😩

[arctic ridge]

Bobo with da beakie, what will he do?

Everyday we get closer to a full hand reveal.

[lapis tundra]

Throw a frag in your trench 🙏

[sour hill]

Time to keep this Redemptor going.

Tryna get most of the major painting done today.

[sour hill]

This just came today.

[dusky mango]

NICE

which chapter/ legion/ warband are you going for?

[sour hill]

Black Templar.

[dusky mango]

nice

[sour hill]

It's mostly for my Diorama.

But.

Maybe I can figure out a decent army build for.it.

[dusky mango]

that thing must be about the size of a house brick

I hope you have fun creating it no matter where it ends up

[sour hill]

Absolutely. Very very excited to create him. 💖

[vivid rune]

They are very strong from what i heard.

Like

Best dreadnought strong

[sour hill]

Ooooo. Even better!

The storm cannons just looked so sick on them

I watched a 40Kin40m episode and this dude had a Leviathan Dread for his Space Wolf army and it just looked incredible.

I knew I wanted one after.

[compact umbra]

The new underhive outcast gang is literally perfect for chaos cultists

You can totally make them into iron warrior cultists, alpha legion, maybe even World eaters. With a little work you can probably some word bearers and emperor’s children

[void orchid]

god i just love the leviathan body, it just looks so cool

my overall favorite looking dread

[sour hill]

Same! Especially with the storm cannons. Feels very Armored Core to me.

[twilit cliff]

give

[lapis tundra]

Yooo check this conversion out @sour hill

https://i.redd.it/rkbzttoglq751.jpg

[sour hill]

That's SICK!

Big gun gang.

[lapis tundra]

I love him so much

[compact umbra]

They haven’t released yet but they were just revealed

[dusky mango]

NICE

[dusky mango]

"when my gun is finished pointing that way gestures at mf You're next."

[sour hill]

Here's post-decals. Calling him done for now.

Also I need to dirty up his fingers a bit more as well.

That gold is too clean.

I want to start assembling the basing at least for my Leviathan though.

[lapis tundra]

Beeg boi

Lovely dreadnought

Id clean the base rim up a lil (more noticable in tha last pic) but other than that hes great

Especially the plasma

[sour hill]

Last pic is not the finished base.

Just the only shot I had of the back. 😔

1st and 2nd though have it finished.

[dusky mango]

Nice

[sour hill]

Sadly I need to take a test tonight.

If I pass, I'll treat myself to working on my Leviathan.

Otherwise I will not touch WH until I do pass. 😔

[dusky mango]

good luck!

[median pumice]

GW sales be like

[lapis tundra]

Lmao

Are they even doing black friday sale?

[sour hill]

LOL

[median pumice]

They are doing like... big box sales. <_<

[lapis tundra]

Thats it tho right? I dont think ge will ever do stuff like sales. On their webstore at least

[sour hill]

Aight, I passed my class.

Leviathan boy will be built this week.

Tomorrow night I'll make the base.

I want him stepping over some smashed down wall.

With rubble all over.

[bold copper]

Almost finished

[sour hill]

Ayyyy! Looking great!

[vivid rune]

STOP HAVING FUN WITH YOUR HOBBY!

I havent gotten to paint anything in fucking WEEKS!!!

[bold copper]

make me

[sour hill]

[bold copper]

i could probably get more of my minis painted if i weren't such a perfectionist

something in my reptile brain activates when i start painting that just makes me believe that everything must look amazing

[sour hill]

I just paint to a quality that brings me joy.

It's going to just sit in my room anyways.

[bold copper]

i just wish i had more time

[sour hill]

Same. Always.

[lapis tundra]

God 100% same

[crisp forge]

I see gems

[edgy cipher]

Yes that's why I pinged proud

[lapis tundra]

New faction: primaris space marine corsairs. This one got an sabre with a soulstone as decoration

[sweet hull]

I'll take a wild guess knowing nothing about eldar factions other than wraithguard or whatever they are called being the ones with the pure white helmets and say that its one of those scorpions

[dusk hill]

get that corsair shit out of here if ur doing alternative eldar stuff ur doing exodites

get fucked GW give me my woodies

[hoary ermine]

The eldar rework commeth

[crisp forge]

🙏

[lapis tundra]

Not alternate eldar ratty, alternate spess muhreens

[dusk hill]

perish

[crisp forge]

It might also me AOS elves

but they dont use gems as much iirc

[lapis tundra]

Fair fair

[crisp forge]

Yeee no harm done

[lapis tundra]

Like yeah striking scorpions would be sick indeed but i dont think the cloth thingy fits them

[crisp forge]

Yeah it doesnt

[lapis tundra]

Like they usually have these things

[crisp forge]

yeah the predator dreadlocks

[lapis tundra]

Kindaish

[arctic ridge]

Scorpions, my beloved

[crisp forge]

that and you cant really tell what this is since plumes are almost on half the eldar as a decorational thing

[lapis tundra]

These ones seem to be more solid

[arctic ridge]

Definitely also to do with the sculpting of the time too, other than just simply it being solid pieces fitted over plumage/hair

[sweet hull]

Honestly I don't understand gw's marketing scheme because you would think based on other things they release like that animation then they would release some scorpion stuff but they don't

[lapis tundra]

Same here

[sweet hull]

Idk just would seem logical to me

[lapis tundra]

I think its just a small hollow rod

[lapis tundra]

Eh the old banshees had hair

[crisp forge]

Jokes aside its just that they dont want to waste a penny, its the same reason why they use warhammer video game songs from IPs they own on trailers and such

[arctic ridge]

Yeah, but that's flowing hair, dreads or braids would be much finer in detail. Detail that at the time of the making of those sculpts wouldn't have looked that good. Plus, I think they're ornaments first, maybe with or without something within them. The effect is still basically the same.

[sweet hull]

Yeah the principle of if its good why only use it once

[lapis tundra]

I imagine them more as something like this

[arctic ridge]

Because its not as safe a bet as making another lieutenant

[arctic ridge]

Yeah, same.

[crisp forge]

Yeah but the scorpions were outright inspired by Predators

Jes Goodwin himself says it which is great

[sweet hull]

I really like the design of scorpions

[lapis tundra]

Same

[crisp forge]

They are one the coolest aspect warriors

[sweet hull]

their armor and color scheme looks really nice

[arctic ridge]

Scorpions and Incubi

My beloved

[crisp forge]

The fact that they share their origin too is great

what got me into 40k was the picture of an incubus lmao

[sweet hull]

I like the incubi skull like helmets

[lapis tundra]

Yes holy fuck

They are my favourite aspect

[crisp forge]

Like they're just cool idk

[lapis tundra]

Hnngh

[crisp forge]

something about the entire design is a lightning in a bottle

really hope they're one of the minis that get updated with the leaks

[sweet hull]

This design makes my brain produce the happy chemical

[lapis tundra]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/f/f9/Karandras2_7th_Ed.png/revision/latest?cb=20141120193546

[sweet hull]

Mandible helmet

[arctic ridge]

I think Striking Scorpions do the natural and elegant shapes of regular Aeldari and the aggressive, sharp and somewhat angular lines of Drukhari in the same model pretty cleanly

[lapis tundra]

Ngl if they redesign them i would def buy a squad, got no eldar so far

[dusk hill]

that's basically how those sorta things work irl, tho like

putting THAT much weight on ur hair would prolly be v uncomfortable realistically

unless they're super light

[crisp forge]

Yeeee

its also why the incubi have the back-spines like the aspect warriors

just a few design similiarities etc

[sour hill]

My favourite Eldar units.

[crisp forge]

though for them its to hang trophies so lol

[lapis tundra]

Oh yeah i dont imagine them being threaded(?) by their real hair, i imagine them being stuck to the helmet

[sweet hull]

Now thats a design im behind

Incubi look so good

[arctic ridge]

Either are possible, but with how the helmet is, I think it's either a bunch of dangly clacky bits, or they're affixed to a bunch of plumes on the helmet itself

[lapis tundra]

Yee my assumption aswell, i also doubt they used literal hair for it, i imagine them using just like a leather string or something

[sour hill]

I like to think of the "hair" as actually being bio-organic.

It helps stabilize them during combat, moving with the flow and attacks.

[arctic ridge]

Wraithbone shenanigans

[sour hill]

Exactly. All of it is wraithbone.

[lapis tundra]

Even the hair 😳

[sour hill]

Yee!

Its literally the same thing

😫

[lapis tundra]

Dont do this to me

Guess the "looks cool -> aos, looks shit -> 40k" chart applies again

[crisp forge]

jesus it does LMAO

[lapis tundra]

Literal pain

Thanks gw

[sweet hull]

Yeah thats identical only difference being is that the gemstone is further up and the holder for it is a bit different

[elfin yew]

Oh wait it could also be IDK

Either way win

[edgy cipher]

[lapis tundra]

pogfish

[sour hill]

Welp. I'm depressed now.

My Contemptor dreadnought got lost in shipping.

So now I'm just getting a refund and have to hope I can find one somewhere else.

[dusk hill]

eek

[sour hill]

But maybe I get lucky and the thing still shows up.

For free.

But still lame.

[vivid rune]

Sorry to hear that 😟

[sour hill]

All good. 😔 I've got my Leviathan I'm still very thankful and excited about.

Just wanted to have one for my dad, brother and grandpa

[vivid rune]

Ever put a dead relative in your dreadnoughts?

[sour hill]

That's the idea. LMFAO

[vivid rune]

Like really tho

Like

[sour hill]

Literally?

[vivid rune]

You stuff their ashes in jt

[sour hill]

Oh shit.

[vivid rune]

I see people do that with their pets

[lapis tundra]

I think the bitz i ordered from incanland got lost too, been almost a month now 😩

[sour hill]

My dad's buried. Next to my grandpa actually. So sadly no ashes to pull from. :[

[sour hill]

NOOOOO

[vivid rune]

There was a salamanders player who put his recently passed cat into a redemptor

[sour hill]

I would 100% use the ashes to enhance a paint or something too

[lapis tundra]

Holy fuck

[sour hill]

That would be incredible.

[lapis tundra]

Kinda cool but also kinda messed up

[vivid rune]

I will prob do the same for Frumpkin when he passes if he ever does

Hes like...3 rn lol

[sour hill]

Like the dude that built a guitar out of his uncles bones.

And plays excellent music.

[vivid rune]

Hell yea

Puting people in a sealed box to rot for eternity is the most insult shit ive ever seen

[sour hill]

Yeah. It definitely wasn't my choice. My dad and grandpa were hyper religious Orthodox.

So did as they requested.

[edgy cipher]

With luck you got like 17 beautiful years ahead and a nice companion for your kid

[vivid rune]

Underatandable and fair @sour hill

[sour hill]

It's grim, but I think it's fitting to have the "dead" around you literally.

[vivid rune]

Absolutely, these two goobers already love playing together

[sour hill]

If my wife ever passes before me I want to get her ashes put into jewelry to wear. There's a place that makes diamonds out of their ashes and shit

[vivid rune]

I will have my body repurposed before the rest is burned and scattered to thr great planes beyond

[sour hill]

🙏

I'm thinking I'm going to request to have my ashes spread on Mt. Doom in NZ. In the fields at least.

[lapis tundra]

Eh the box will rot and the ashes will spread around eventually, its more about having a place where you can mourn(?), a nice peaceful place in nature

[vivid rune]

I look forward to see my goddess before i die. To watch her wash my blood from her shield in the river. I will know peace when i am reaped into her arms and held to her bossom, to br carried off to the summerlands

[vivid rune]

Thats what trees are for doh

[sour hill]

https://www.saintdiamonds.com/

[lapis tundra]

Idk i prefer a regular tombstone to a tree tbh

[vivid rune]

Literally use their ashes to plant a tree

[lapis tundra]

In the end its down to whoever died

If they have time to choose

[vivid rune]

Pretty much

God i cant wait to become a mortician

[sour hill]

I'd get a blue diamond of her ashes. It's her favourite colour.

[vivid rune]

Thats sweet

[sour hill]

💖

I love her very very much.

[vivid rune]

Well i hope so lol

My plan when I die is to have an elaborate will that leads thousands of treasure hunters on a wild goose chase for my hidden fortune and when they find it after years of turmoil they’ll find a receipt for a single pixelated monkey jpeg

[royal compass]

... did you just spoil One Piece's ending? :p

[proud gorge]

mayhaps

[vivid rune]

@sour hill you still collect deathwatch?

I got a captain artemis and a librarian in termie armor of you want them

I can even paint them for you. I just dont think ill ever use em

[sour hill]

I've got as much DW as I think I'll ever want for now. Just vibing with my BT for now. Thank you though! I may take you up on it later if I try and expand them all more.

[vivid rune]

Okie

[sour hill]

Honestly, depending on how I build my diorama too I may have too many DW as it is on the field and need to hide some/sell some myself. LMFAO

👀

[rose sluice]

anyone got a good source for like. ww1 era British troops that i can add guard bits to?

[twilit cliff]

hm

try victoriaminiatures maybe

i like them bc the scale is very similar to astra militarum

[rose sluice]

it's mainly the scale i want to be the same

but with brodie helmets

are they plastic?

[twilit cliff]

nooo

like most 3rd party bits i can find theyre resin

[rose sluice]

riiiiiiiiiight

[twilit cliff]

tbf plastic bits are pretty rare

for third party stuff with similar scale i mean

unless you get something like frostgrave but

scale is off on those

[rose sluice]

vicky doesn't have what i'm looking for sadly

[twilit cliff]

madrobotminiatures maybe?

they are very slow tho

[lapis tundra]

Well yeah gw is "heroic scale" aka we choose how big we make this certain mini, in a few years they might be twice as big fuck you

[twilit cliff]

well scale creep is an entirely different issue

But for example say you get a perry and a gw mini

gw is more cartoonish with bigger arms, hands, heads

getting perry bits looks a bit out of place on gw minis

[lapis tundra]

Tbf big heads are always a problem, the more advanced they are the less terrible those mistakes are

[twilit cliff]

I dont mind them

Its just their vibe

[rose sluice]

nothing on madbot either

[lapis tundra]

Bad lighting but scale is very different too

Terrible lighting in fact

[rose sluice]

weird angles

[twilit cliff]

Are you sure, like sorting trough madrobots heads takes ages

[rose sluice]

those guys are actually really pog

where you get the knights?

[lapis tundra]

Man i love perrys "medieval" miniatures

[lapis tundra]

Perry miniatures english army

[twilit cliff]

yh theyre perry

[rose sluice]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[twilit cliff]

i like them but its a different vibe

[rose sluice]

also yeah, mostly stahlheims and shit

[lapis tundra]

Bought it 3 times so i get a free henry v mini, i got way too many now

Would prolly have been cheaper to buy the henry v on ebay lol

[rose sluice]

anvil has what i need

[lapis tundra]

But now i can just pain all of em, stick em on their bases and have cool formations

[twilit cliff]

yeah theres also anvil industires, kromlech etc

[lapis tundra]

Square bases my beloved

[rose sluice]

i basically want a russ and get a bunch of guys with brodies on it

but i'm also give them a monster hunter vibe

[twilit cliff]

what happens is you google

brody helmet miniatures

[rose sluice]

i mean

[twilit cliff]

those are neat

[lapis tundra]

Btw, bfg mini scale comparison in case anybody wants to know

[rose sluice]

scale creep smh

[urban harbor]

arent the bigger ships in 40k like a few miles long?

[lapis tundra]

This one is supposed to be ≈3km long, the larger ones usually have no official lengths but are often 7-10km long, depending on author. And then there are the fucking giantic ones with not even a mention of lenght. Just stuff like "as big as a moon" ah yes because all moons have the same size

[urban harbor]

i see

[lapis tundra]

Also back to this 👀

[urban harbor]

lol

[dusk hill]

void warfare is like, the one sci fi concept 40k gets right scale wise

ships are several km long and they engage eachother over hundreds of thousands of km

[lapis tundra]

There are still issues but its pretty neat overall

[dusk hill]

cus things move so fast in space, and are capable of carrying such ridiculous ordinances, that it's more of a maths game of figuring out where will the enemies next volley be relative to where we are in x minutes

[dusk hill]

it's not my absolute fav sci fi space combat thing by any means, but it's v surprisingly well thought out

u know, for 40k combat writing™️

[lapis tundra]

Yee thats fair

[dusk hill]

my fav is prolly the expanse, but that's just cus rn most of my family is aggressively stanning that show and asking why it's not more popular than it is

hard sci fi spaceships my beloved

[lapis tundra]

I think i got a few rule pdfs for the old bfg somewhere on one of my drives

[void orchid]

I've really enjoyed watching the expanse, I should probably get around to reading the books

new season right around the corner iirc

[dusk hill]

yee! in less than a month i think

[lapis tundra]

Also another argument for 40k space combat

[dusk hill]

my brother recommended it me and i binged it a few weeks ago, it's such an amazing show and it's lowkey just shocking it's made it to six seasons

considering sci fi is so high budget and so niche that it usually burns out real quick

[twilit cliff]

i always thought that was weird in star trek

[void orchid]

Yeah, you either get long lasting shows with nerfgun props or cancelled high budget stuff haha

[twilit cliff]

“The romulan vessel is 1500km away sir” “shoot the phasers”

[dusk hill]

yep

but in this case literally everything is great. long lasting, high budget, amazing writing, amazing visuals

just really good sci fi in general

[void orchid]

Agreed

The only thing I didn't love has been the ||uwu gotta save my son|| plot, but even that has been done pretty well, I'm just not a huge fan of that kinda story in general

[dusk hill]

idk i didn't mind that yeah, tho mainly just cus the acting and other involved characters like marco were v engaging. Kinda just a vehicle to get into the whole abusive narcissistic side of marco

Drummer, ashford, bobbie, easily my top 3 fav characters from the show

[median pumice]

Im getting a lot of use out of that cowboy bebop gif and im living for it

[dusk hill]

i hate how emotionally manipulative he is. Like, that scene after naomi leaks intel and you can fucking SEE how intimidated by naomi he is

how beneath all the charisma he's a callous PoS

it's amazing acting and it makes me hate the character so much

[median pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/beltalowda-expanse-scream-shout-gif-17351616

[void orchid]

Yeah for sure, it's great characterization

[dusk hill]

ashford is also amazing yes

[median pumice]

The expanse is one of those shows that just... does a lot of things so well.

The space combat. Characterization. Space politics. Even ||aliens||

[hoary ermine]

Talking of startrek, they moved discovery off of netlfix before i could watch the last 3 episodes

Angy

[dusk hill]

Honestly the whole belter sphere is def the strongest part of the show, largely cus it's a v interesting and prolly not so distant concept. Like, if humans develop sufficiently differently in low or zero g that they can't step foot on a planet anymore, they're basically a speciated (if not genetically then at least by circumstance) exile race stuck in space

[void orchid]

Yeah

[dusk hill]

with no access to food or water besides asteroid ice, making them p much dependent on inners to survive, meaning they're v easily just a slave race

[void orchid]

The social ramifications of not being physically able to go planetside is pretty neat in general

[dusk hill]

yee! It's a humanitarian shitshow caused by technological advancement with implications on culture, politics etc

[void orchid]

And talking about exporting soil is not something I even considered before, but is a neat thing to think about

[dusk hill]

nods

[void orchid]

Dirt my beloved

[dusk hill]

exporting soil, complex biologicals, etc. All extremely valuable when only earth and other biological spheres can produce them

The alien stuff is also done v well, but i imagine it would've been a lil novel a few decades ago. It's v much just like, ancient constructor race that disappears to some kind of ~external alien threat~ billions of years ago vibes

it's a v common trope

but the actual depiction of alien life is at least refreshing, as like. actually alien and all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tScAyNaRdQ reminds me of this short

[void orchid]

Yeah, the overall setup is not as fresh but the flavor of how that whole thing works is 👌

[dusk hill]

nods

[void orchid]

When that station gets taken over it is legit creepy as fuck, and when you see it again at the climax it's like hooooly fuck

[dusk hill]

oh yeah eros was my absolute fav protomolecule bit. After that the mystique is a lil shattered, since you kinda know what it is and it's v mundane, but i was actually scared of the notion of even climbing on top of eros in season 2

it's like clambering on the rooftops of chernobyl, had those ground zero vibes except you didn't even know what was inside

[void orchid]

Yes that comparison captures the feel of it really well

[lapis tundra]

Also some neat stuff from the bfg rulebook

[void orchid]

Like just something otherworldly that has run amok and just getting close to it is enough to get wrecked

[dusk hill]

yee

the sound design for the voices was also excellent at communicating that

https://youtu.be/vxgv9xD7ko4?t=45

the scream is chilling

[void orchid]

Yes

We were watching it late at night, and I don't do horror shows/movies at all cuz I'm a big baby about scary stuff

My wife was like are you okay

And I'm like no but we can't stop watching now lmao

[dusk hill]

bless

[void orchid]

And also when theyre hunting the hybrid

And it's revealed that the thing is on their ship

Which I was already tensely suspecting

[lapis tundra]

God i really need to take the time to read through all of the bfg rules at some point

[void orchid]

I like this take, it makes a lot of sense

[crisp forge]

Shame in-universe nobody remembers space is 3D

[void orchid]

Shush

[lapis tundra]

Yee i like it too

[crisp forge]

owned™️

[solar garden]

The Expanse is one of my favorite SciFi series

[lapis tundra]

Eh they do, depending on the book

[crisp forge]

They pretty much mostly dont

[median pumice]

I always think of like that scene where theyre chasing the millenium falcon and it just dips on them

Like... a single star destroyer has like 150 something odd fighters. Each. And theyre out there chasing it with a single squadron?

[crisp forge]

Plot Moment™️

[lapis tundra]

They do tho >:(

[crisp forge]

They don't tho 😠

BECAUSE SOME WRITERS DONT KNOW HOW SPACE WORKS

[lapis tundra]

Yes they do 😡

[lapis tundra]

Well agree on this

[crisp forge]

[median pumice]

Im just gonna say if you want beautiful sci fi ship battles with a sense of scale and plot importance and continuity.... you got the expanse

https://tenor.com/view/rocinante-the-expanse-sy-fy-gif-11960621

[void orchid]

Ok smarty pants how bout you tell the class how space works

[crisp forge]

3D go anywhere

brrrr

[void orchid]

3D? More like 3Dumb

[obtuse sinew]

please, everyone knows there are only two dimensions

forward and up

[void orchid]

And only two locations: on your tail, and wheredtheygo

[lapis tundra]

Read >:c

[median pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/twirling-simpsons-gif-19898185

Dont forget spinning thats a good trick

[obtuse sinew]

that's just forward with flavor

[dusky mango]

Is there anywhere that u can still get the BFG minis?

[void orchid]

Spinning is just forward and up at the same time

[lapis tundra]

Ebay and 3d printing are the only ways to do that i fear

[dusky mango]

hecc

thank you for letting me know

[lapis tundra]

I got mine off ebay at least

Also have this useful guide: http://www.wargames-romania.ro/wordpress/wargames/battlefleet-gothic/battlefleet-gothic-a-guide-to-assembling-chaos-cruisers-all-types/

(Ignore the nazi header idk man)

[sour hill]

Oh Romania.

😔

[lapis tundra]

Yee 💀

[dusk hill]

100%

there are whole videos going over them frame by frame for how well done they are

[onyx void]

Has anyone suscribed to Warhammer+?

[dusk hill]

@crisp forge did at some point i think

[onyx void]

@crisp forge any opinion ? I'm not interested in the minis, more in the series, lore, comics and books

[crisp forge]

So id say simply put?

Incredibly lackluster and at best wait a year before subbing

the painting tutorials are the same as you can find anywhere for free, white dwarf isnt worth it since they're going through them slowly and they're all recent ones atm, and uh

The animations are just meh

You can pirate them from anywhere else and its nothing spectacular atm

[onyx void]

Shame

[crisp forge]

Yeaaaah

GW is really new at this and it shows

[onyx void]

I would prefer they made a deal with Netflix or Amazon for the animation

[crisp forge]

Thats GW's biggest achilles heel

they dont bow down to anyone

[proper canopy]

I thought it was primaris models

[onyx void]

Feel that way, even on the promos. They puff up a very light amount of content for that price

[crisp forge]

Yeaaaah its really bad

people were hyping up WH+ as much as GW and now it feels like it dropped off the face of the earth lmao

[onyx void]

If you like minis, I think that gift was worth the money

[crisp forge]

Pretty much

[onyx void]

They could have gave away special cosmetic on Vermintide 2 with the subscription

Twitch style

[crisp forge]

Bold of you to assume GW knows anything outside of tabletop minis exists

[onyx void]

It's such a fucking weird company

[bold copper]

Shame because I really like angels of death

But they just don't have enough to justify me actually paying for it

[sage matrix]

how much is a year subscription?

like 60 bucks?

[bold copper]

yeah like $60

[sage matrix]

I mean considering that you pay 45 bucks for a HQ model, similar to the ones provided in the subscription. along with content like shows and fairly top tier tutorials for a year I think its pretty worth it

[elfin yew]

Yeah but it's a model you don't have much choice in

[sage matrix]

I would say its one of the few cheaper purchases GW has atm

true

[elfin yew]

They provide options, better hope you play the army for either

[sage matrix]

I agree that their should be more options

[elfin yew]

Esp when, in this case, the ork one just fucking sucks

So it's really just one

It's not a bad looking model by any means, but It's legit just a warboss

[sage matrix]

Ehh im biased as a painter to just have limited edition collectors model

but thats me

[bold copper]

the only thing i really have much interest in is the angels of death animated show at the moment. but i can watch that through other sources

[elfin yew]

They'll be recasted in like, moments

[sage matrix]

Yeah obviously

[bold copper]

i stand by that i think the show is actually pretty good

[sage matrix]

100%

I think its a fair asking price

but only if you like painting, and the shows they release

I mean the tutorials are awesome

and ofc their are other avenues to explore like youtube

[bold copper]

i watch angels of death through other places, so i don't pay for it. i might when there's more things that really matter to me personally, but not right now

[sage matrix]

yeah and thats fair

[bold copper]

but i do like angels of death. a small squad of blood angels vs a genstealer cult is a cool story idea

and they show the genestealer cults can tear a space marine apart pretty easily

[sage matrix]

if the model were to be valued at a price it would be $45 since the newer hq models seem to be around that, so in reality you are paying $15 for access to the shows, White Dwarf Catalogues, and the painting tutorials

plus a single issue of white dwarf is around $10 or so

so your paying $55 for both a model and access to White Dwarf magazines and lastly $5 dollar subscription to a warhammer streaming service

[bold copper]

my biggest issue is that i think it's a huge missed opportunity to not put the old edition rules in the archive for people who may want to check out older editions

even if it were just for the purpose of showing how the game evolved

[sage matrix]

idk, i feel like if someone wanted to do that they could find pdfs online 🤷

[bold copper]

oh very easily for sure

[sage matrix]

but i get what you mean

[bold copper]

but having official backing would be a smart move on GWs part

[sage matrix]

it would interest more people to join in the hobby

seeing it throughout the years

but in my personal opinion $60 dollar subscription for all of that and a promised model that looks cool to paint for a show piece and I think its worth it

I mean compared to a $250 pay wall for a commemorative model

but peeps be selling em on ebay for lik $60 anyway

[bold copper]

that was such a scam for that model

just let people buy the model outright

[sage matrix]

I mean in all fairness I ended up getting the model x2 since I bought the Black Templar and Ork sets in the past month

that and paints

[bold copper]

GW is such a frustrating company. they sometimes make really good decisions and then piss it all away by being absolute dumbasses

gotta love corporate

[crisp forge]

^

GW are incredibly 50/50 as a company

[bold copper]

they both love and yet hate money at the same time

[crisp forge]

Nah its less they hate money

more that they got no idea most of the time how their fanbase works lmao

or just.. common business practices

Especially since their strategy usually is "throw marine minis at the problem"

[bold copper]

ironic that they don't know their own audience yet they still act like they are somehow responsible for the community being as popular as it is

[crisp forge]

LOL

THIS

THANK YOU

[hoary ermine]

if they didnt have community creators

[bold copper]

here's a little secret GW: the fans are responsible for why it's so popular, not you

[hoary ermine]

the goddamn hobby wouldve sank like the tea in the harbor

[bold copper]

the sad thing is I do really like space marines. but even i need a break once in a while

[crisp forge]

Yeah this

I love Marines too but I hate them from the miniature perspective

vomits blue

[bold copper]

i say this as an ultramarines player: let the imperial fists be the poster boys for a bit

[sour hill]

IF are a very cool army. Ultramarines put me to bed.

[bold copper]

ultramarines can be cool. i love the graham mcneill books about uriel ventris.

[crisp forge]

The sad part is the only reasons Ultras are posterboys is because blue is an eye catching color

thats it lmao

[bold copper]

look i love the color scheme ok. don't crucify me

oh yeah also this

[crisp forge]

AAA-

[bold copper]

this stupid thing brings me joy

[urban harbor]

mario cart 40k version

[bold copper]

but in all seriousness i do love the ultramarines when you get someone like graham mcneill writing them.

he understands that they are good at everything but not great at anything and should use the codex as guidelines but still use their own judgement as warriors. rather than someone like matt ward who says they use it as a holy book and also says they are the best marines ever

[compact umbra]

Hey how big is a grey knight head?

Compared to a terminator head-

[urban harbor]

from what i have seen the wardian helmet is about half the size of a terminator helmet

unless you are talking about the older terminator armors when they are about the same size

[median pumice]

Ultramarines automatically start with a blue shell

[quaint halo]

So my Cursed City game had a played get eaten by the gravetide then spit back out 2 turns later because we rolled the revive a player end of turn

[vivid rune]

@elfin yew

Cult icon replenishes D3 losses

[quaint halo]

Holy shit

[edgy cipher]

Oh

Well they are going to be less expensive to collect now

Also that S4 is going to help their melee even further

[dusk hill]

fear

[edgy cipher]

Also that

[dusk hill]

huh the ap-1 for pulse rifles is new, plus 6" more range

i think, haven't played proper 40k in ages

i thiink pulse carbines also had a lil less range originally?

[edgy cipher]

Yes they increased the range of the weapons

[dusk hill]

im unsure if that'll help much

[edgy cipher]

It does

Allows them to shoot while remaining outside of charge range for a lot more units

[dusk hill]

the way i've had it described tau have issues rn with holding objectives and just like. in general if there isn't a wide open ass area to gunline in ur kinda at a disadvantage vibes

! oh yeah that's a fair point

How does charge range work? Wasn't it "12 or smthn

[edgy cipher]

I assume kroots will be getting a big buff defense wise and are going to be the main obejective hodlers

You can declare charge with anything that is within 12" of you yes

Most units have a 6" movement, most melee units gets atleast a reroll to charge and / ora +2 to charge aswell

And some can even advance + charge

And extra 6" safe range will help

[dusk hill]

yee that makes sense

also means the pulse rifle rapid fire range is higher, which is v pog

[edgy cipher]

^

[dusk hill]

gonna have to watch the inevitable auspex tactics video on how the math of it works for the damage output of rifles fgsouh

[edgy cipher]

Considering Taus have the best baseline weapon for how much they cost yeah

[dusk hill]

yee this is def cementing pulse rifles as sorta the goat of basic troop guns

so this is coming with the new codex right? Where's the info posted?

[edgy cipher]

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/11/25/troops-are-better-than-ever-how-the-next-three-codexes-improve-your-units/

Boom

Also Custodes buffs but that's to be expected

Instead of the swingy 1d3 damage on all their melee its now D2

Might help them in some matchups, might screw them in others

also all custodes getting a leadership of 11

Guardian spears also being S7 in melee now

So custodes guards can go hunt vehicles in melee now

[edgy cipher]

"This calls upon reinforcements lurking in the shadows to restore them to fighting strength – in the case of Acolyte Hybrids, that’s D3 destroyed models from the unit."

I think it also implies that other units like neophytes that are not as strong might get a D6

[hasty sorrel]

looking forward to the IG update one day

[edgy cipher]

You asked and shall be served lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87Du_gE46gc

[dusk hill]

thank

[elfin yew]

POG

FUVK YES

T4

https://youtu.be/WHujzgKlPqM

Average lasgun trying to injure acolytes now

[lapis tundra]

Buff insect ppl

[elfin yew]

Also the cult reinforcements is so cool

That used to be a 1cp stratagem

Calling it now

Multiple smaller units could be pretty slappy to take advantage of the icons

Esp with t4

[edgy cipher]

Wouldn't bigger units be better because they have a higher chance to survive ?

[vivid rune]

You can cover more ground with multiple and depending om how well that replenish is theyd be tanky as fuck

[edgy cipher]

Well its 1d3 plus its easier to buff bigger units in general

[dusk hill]

the AP pulse rifle does make me v happy

[edgy cipher]

Also if you wanna go min maxing, having units coming back is also more mobility

Since you can make em pop in front of your unit , giving you more reach

[vivid rune]

I see

[edgy cipher]

I know a necron player that does that, I know its legal but its kind of annoying

[lapis tundra]

Also a fun rule they had back then was when you want to shoot at something you are like "ok i shoot now with this unit at this unit" then you measure is they are within range and if they arent the attacks miss

[dusk hill]

i lowkey dont know why they didn't give the pulse carbine ap-1 tho

like cmon

they're meant to be basically the same just one long range one mid range

[edgy cipher]

Its weird yeah

[dusk hill]

esp cus the carbine is already kinda just worse than the rifle

guess they dont wanna make base pathfinders too strong idk

[edgy cipher]

Guess they wouldn't risk making the Pathfinders too strong because they are re-releasing the Pathfinder hero that will likely have a big aura for them

Plus we don't know the new sept bonuses as of yet

[elfin yew]

Blast + cult ambush is better w/smaller unitd usually

Plus multiple procs across board

Enemy may over commit to small eized unit

Or undercommit and Icon

[edgy cipher]

Oh yeah more tokens for the tomfoolery

[elfin yew]

Yee

Also bcuz

Smaller units deepstrike easier

[edgy cipher]

i'm pretty sure it "never" stopped the jackals from popping with their C4 lmao

It is irony

I know bikes have bigger bases

[elfin yew]

Yee tho u have to 3" Deep strike for that anyways

With lying in wait

Since bobombs only have 6" range

If neophytes get like

A d3+3 banner

Then heavy weapons spam will be even stronger with heavy neophyte lists

Assloads of mining lasers

And a jackal alphus

For 3+ heavy weapon neophytes

ESPECIALLY WITH THAT CROSSFIRE RULE TEASES

WEW

Im very excited to see how our characters change

I hope Keler's revolvers to to S5 and/or they make Oppressor's Bane S6

Also I hope knife sanctus gets gud

Another hope: A perfect ambush's move choice just goes to "Make a move of 6" rather than of d6

Perfect Ambush should be usable by both shooting and charging with the same efficiency

Not random chance for charging

[dusk hill]

Yee that's all I can think of

Nobody uses carbines outside of pathfinders anyways

[elfin yew]

Also WEW

That pulse rifle is THICC

[dusk hill]

YEAH

[elfin yew]

Marines weeping

[dusk hill]

I swear it's been S5 ap0 30" for so long

[elfin yew]

As they get fucking murkee

[dusk hill]

It'll be weird it being different

[elfin yew]

36" rapid fire

Very thicx

[dusk hill]

Is nice to finally have like. Smthn closer to the efficacy of baseline skitarii at range

Given tau are meant to be the pure ranged faction

[elfin yew]

I cant wait to see the new faction abils

Rusted Claw lets gooo

Give me assault bombs

They already shift most weapons to assault on adv

All I need now is the Gets flared by ridgerunners, rushes 20 inches, drops the fattest democharge load imaginable

Shiny and chrome, riding eternal

Also

INB4 tau codex somehow releases in january still, before cults/sustodes

[dusk hill]

im just still looking forward to darkstrider

that kit could have so much kitbash potential for tau leader characters in general

the smol drones ❤️

[elfin yew]

Holy fuck I just bought 20 acolytes

Well that completes my cult army

RHEBDH

Fortunately they were like 60% of retail price

https://tenor.com/view/avengers-infinity-war-marvel-thanos-gauntlet-gif-12176125

30 acolytes seems like a p healthy count

Esp with their new changes

I'll probs be able to be good on troops with just 3 units of 10

[sour hill]

Yeah. I want to see Darkstrider

I'm so happy the other factions are getting love.

[elfin yew]

Yess

I also got some Purestrains who im excited for

[edgy cipher]

They made the Tau gunlines very frigtening

I want to see what they do with kroots

[elfin yew]

I want purestrain/aberrant biobuilds to be good

[edgy cipher]

They'd be a good target for a cheap melee guy to grab a point and hold

[hoary ermine]

I might stop making armies for 40k tbh

Gonna focus on making dioramas uwu

[sour hill]

Working on my Leviathan now

[vivid rune]

@sour hill hell yea

I want to make that one named DW dreadnought. The lammentor one that thinks the lammentors are all dead

[rose sluice]

That chad

I’d love to do lamenters

Or find a good transfer for them lol

[sour hill]

YO! Do you have any pics or anything of them?

Lamenters are my second favourite SM group.

The curse of tragedy is just so sick.

Working with Resin models is a HUGE pain in the ass though.

Jesus. Clipping and cleaning this dude took an hour.

[rose sluice]

That’s what is holding me back rn

I need super glue aswell

[sour hill]

Yeah. I have a giant container of gorilla glue.

But.

It takes forever to dry too. And I don't have quick binder.

😔

[rose sluice]

I need to get all the nurgle bits i’ve got and decide what i’m adding and what i’m not

[vivid rune]

Ive never made the model lol im saying i want to

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Chyron

@sour hill this lad

[sour hill]

@vivid rune I love him. That's so awesome!

And I'll be able to read about him because I have the Deathwatch Omnibus.

😎

[vivid rune]

Based

[median pumice]

Aww yeah thos came in the mail today

[edgy cipher]

Yooooooooo

If you need any help you can ask @hasty sorrel and myself

[hasty sorrel]

👋

[median pumice]

I am excited to delve into it. I inow its different from like... the FFG one but its interesting clsses and progressions

[green cave]

Oh boy, cannot wait for more OW and W&G discussions

[edgy cipher]

Why not right now

I almost got charged by my own teammate

[median pumice]

How did that happen?

[hasty sorrel]

he was sneaking around behind enemy lines

i have LoS turned on

party didn't know he was there

[edgy cipher]

I'm just a smoll ratboy

[green cave]

Lol, perfect ratling behaviour right there, doing stuff without telling teammates

And then making a fuss because they nearly got your head

[edgy cipher]

Nah they knew my location

[green cave]

^^^

Who i believe?

[median pumice]

This is beautiful

[edgy cipher]

Very orky

[haughty mantle]

Got mine a few weeks ago. desperate to start a game of W&G but trying to find a group for reg sessions is tough.

[median pumice]

I feel that

[hasty sorrel]

no one died in session

had to pause half way into a fight tho

stealth suits showed up

[hoary ermine]

Your fbi agent comes to your house?

Did he bring snacks for the run or?

[tiny cairn]

Does wrath and glory have space combat rules?

[quaint star]

not yet I don't think

[hasty sorrel]

not yet

they just added space hulk generation rules

[arctic ridge]

I think there are homebrewed rules but nothing officially yet iirc

[proper canopy]

likely easy to figure out some.

Unless you're talking spaceship vs spaceship combat.

[hasty sorrel]

ye thats what they mean

Rogue trader had an indepth ship combat and customisation system W&G hasn't replicated yet

it infact has no vehicles at all, so we have nothing to base it on

: )

[proper canopy]

Could always go, battlefleet gothic for that however.

[hasty sorrel]

thats a lot more complex than W&G is aiming to be

[proper canopy]

Ah, are Tau battlesuits in it?

[hasty sorrel]

Nope

The only stated vehicle is an imperial knight, and it uses a standard character stat block

[proper canopy]

What's the most 'robust' living thing you can fight?

[hasty sorrel]

and not even a particularly good one

a T2 Ogryn can out tank it, despite it being a T4 master unit

[proper canopy]

That's rather odd.

[hasty sorrel]

yeah

W&G is a game of odd decisions

[proper canopy]

I kind of preffered 8th where things were flat out immune to small arms fire due to toughness

[hasty sorrel]

This is for wrath and glory, a TTRPG instead of the standard tabletop

[proper canopy]

I'm familiar with rogue trader, just not how Wrath and glory is done, never saw the rules.

[hasty sorrel]

its a semi interesting D6 system but like

they scuffed the combat

[proper canopy]

It seemed more, non combat roleplay, if that makes sense, going off of successes vs failures, and just using more dice for successes

I liked the % system of rogue trader, more than a D6/10/20 system

[hasty sorrel]

D6 with successes is fine, it can do great combat like shadowrun

its just very heavily weighted in the players favour

basically its an RPG where the players play as heroes, which isn't what i want from 40k

Or more, they can be heroes in the older RPGs but they need to work for it

[proper canopy]

Ah, Dark Heresy is what I was thinking of, not Rogue Trader

That, was a fun book to go through

[hasty sorrel]

All the old ones run on the same system dw

i'm using tau from deathwatch in my current only war campaign

[green cave]

I hope that for the future of W&G they return to OW system, it was simply better... I mean, cubicle returned to such system with WHF TTRPG soooo

[hasty sorrel]

WHF 4e is worse than W&G imo

the advantage system in it is fuckin busted

[proper canopy]

I was tempted to use the tyranids in some games, but they seemed... Very -very- killy and would rip through an entire party pretty quickly, lol.

[hasty sorrel]

they are very killy, but i think i've got it figured out for w/e i do run em

[proper canopy]

"You pissed me off, go into these narrow, Genestealer infested tunnels..."

[hasty sorrel]

cause as long as the players know up front its horde campaign they can take autoguns n stuff

get them fire rates pumpin

[proper canopy]

Honestly, I also liked the death charts they had for all the weapon types.

[hasty sorrel]

The current campaign vs tau they are playing droptroop snipers

[proper canopy]

And how all the weapons had rules, like, Ork Choppa's and shoota's

[hasty sorrel]

the weapon qualities make the system

[proper canopy]

And the armor system how, it reduced the incoming damage if it hit a spot, Flack armor actually seemed useful as it was, 2/3 base I think, but doubled vs explosive weapons

[hasty sorrel]

only war has the best fire rate method of any rpg ive played

[proper canopy]

Haven't seen that system/book myself.

[hasty sorrel]

its the same as Dark heresy

all of the old 40k rpgs run on the same rules

[proper canopy]

The % system then. I don't know how the fire rate works in Only war then. I just remember that, when you do full auto, and roll a hit it's spread across whoevers in the fire arc

[hasty sorrel]

So you have

single shot has + 10 to hit

Semi auto is +0 and you get an additional hit every odd success

Full auto is at a -10 with a hit per success

so full auto is deadly af, but also the least accurate

[proper canopy]

isn't the aim action +20 to hit?

[plush swift]

Bruh a friend want to do a strange tech-heresy

Mix them

[lapis tundra]

Interesting

[plush swift]

Yup

Really hard in fact

But i really want to see the final form of this

[lapis tundra]

Same

What parts are they planning on using?

[plush swift]

He say, the head of WK will go on IK, one leg too and the Heavy Bolter will be switch with the Psycannon Eldar and some other part

[hasty sorrel]

wait is that the special variant wraithknight from FW hes gonna use?

[plush swift]

Yeah

He want the Sword

[hasty sorrel]

fucking hell

buy the standard one if u wanna kitbash

[plush swift]

XD

[hasty sorrel]

the FW one is expensive and only worth it for the main body

[proper canopy]

Or... Bitz order the sword, lol.

[plush swift]

In fact Cerastus is better than IK GW for this one imo

He already kitbash an Tau Gundam and an Arminger

Mmmh

Its +10 if you do it for a half action and +20 as a full action or 2 half actions spread in 2 different turns, weapons with Accurate give an additional +10 when fully aimed

If we ignore the awful proportions of the marines that stuff looks pretty solid

[sour hill]

Is this a new game or something?

[lapis tundra]

Oh nah

[sour hill]

Like it def looks cool but.. those proportions hurt

[sour hill]

The legs don't look right.

The heads are fine I guess.

But the proportions do seem off.

It looks more like someone made them to do like a Fortnite dance animation or something with those proportions.

I can just see those guys in some video like this.

[sour hill]

LMFAO

[twilit cliff]

tbf im not bothered by their proportions too much but they are a bit memeable

[edgy cipher]

Magnificent

[compact umbra]

Im kinda bummed out There is zero Slaanesh terrain

Actually there is 1 but

It fucking sucks

[elfin yew]

Welcome to the game, if ur not imperial, ur chances of getting themed terrain are slim

[dusk hill]

at least imperial terrain is generally pretty versatile

idm it, lowkey i dont like much tau terrain anyways sjdh

[lapis tundra]

So we usually just get like 1 terrainpiece with rules for every faction and other than that just imperial ruins and shit

[elfin yew]

Ye p much

There arent rlly non-imperial terrain sets iirc

Except orkz
