[charred ginkgo]

I'm wondering if there's a decent admech head that could be used to kitbash these from scions

[edgy cipher]

Well the issue with old kaskrin minis is that they are all metal and one piece

So you'd need to be able to saw the heads off

That's a lot of work

[charred ginkgo]

well I mean trying to recreate them out of the tempestus scions

[edgy cipher]

Oh

I misunderstood

[charred ginkgo]

probably impossible to get them perfect but... now that i'm looking at the options I think scions with skitarii hoods could look kind of cool

[edgy cipher]

Well the Vanguard head is very good

[charred ginkgo]

(going for inquisitorial storm troopers)

yeah vanguards have cool heads

i used some to make feudal world-style troops

[hoary ermine]

Alright you fucking nerds

“They are rage, brutal, without mercy, but you, you will be worse, rip and tear, until it is done."

https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Mortis

[opal egret]

That's...

Not a particularly inspired mech

Its just a Hatchetman blown up to a heavy mech weight.

Except the Hatchetman has better sustain

Heavy PPC, okay, well, its an Inner Sphere mech so that thing is useless if the enemy gets in too close.

MML-5. Well, its a good weapon but that's a small size for it.

Rocket Launcher-10, Waste of space. It fires 10 rockets and then its done.

The only good part is the hatchet and the fact it can make 86 KPH, but it lacks jump jets, so there goes the big advantage the Hatchetman had.

Meanwhile, the Hatchetman has an Autocannon 10. That's a great weapon for medium and close range engagements, with two tons of ammo that's more than enough for an engagement.

x2 Medium Lasers. Hard to beat medium lasers for consistency. Two of them ain't much but paired with the autocannon and they become great for sheering off extra armor or burning internals.

Plus the hatchet, jump jets, and a speed of 64.8 KMH and its a great ambush mech. Jump in from an unexpected location, attack, jump out again.

[haughty pine]

You're deep into this stuff huh

[opal egret]

Very

[haughty pine]

It's cute

[opal egret]

😳

I won't claim to be the best mechwarrior in the world but I try to keep myself aware of what is and is not a good mech by its stats and abilities.

(Also, thanks)

[haughty pine]

I am claiming you are the best mechwarrior

[opal egret]

I will now be murdered by the Black Widow or the Bounty Hunter.

Anyway, if the Mortis is to be useful with any ranged weapon in CQC, all you'd have to do is replace the Heavy PPC with an ER Large Laser or a pulse large laser or something.

No minimum range on those, and they still kick the piss out of stuff

Could drop the Rocket Launcher-10 and upgrade the MML-5 to a larger pack

I am very smart

[crisp forge]

Oh wow

they actually fixed the link so it doesnt reveal its CSM LMAO

[green cave]

CSM box tea?? Wonder how it taste

[hoary ermine]

Trying to figure out how i could put a lever action style trigger on my cog axe

Like a custodes one probably but still

[compact umbra]

Why the fuck aren’t there chaos pyskers for the table top? Like rogue pyskers for CSM

[compact umbra]

WAIT WHAT

OOOOOOO

IM 100% GONNA BUY THAT BOX SET

[crisp forge]

DONT BE HASTY

[compact umbra]

I AM AN ELDAR CORSAIRS SIMP AND A CSM WORSHIPPER

[crisp forge]

OKAY WISE.

Also man im curious about the corsairs

its been so long

[compact umbra]

They have literally no lore

So I’m excited to learn more about them

[crisp forge]

Nah they have lore

its just that unless you're into eldar lore you'd have no idea

also try googling any corsair band and you'll get only like footnotes

[compact umbra]

Lmao yeah

[crisp forge]

jesus nevermind

all this from a single FW book 💀

[compact umbra]

Oh yeah I forgot about that

What chaos legion do you think the KT is gonna be?

[vivid rune]

Black legion most likely

[crisp forge]

^

[vivid rune]

Unfortunately

[crisp forge]

they are the posterboys

[compact umbra]

I mean it’s eldar corsairs, so maybe it will be something unique ?

[vivid rune]

The self inserts that you can paint as any legion instead boys

[compact umbra]

Like iron warriors

Or night lords

[crisp forge]

Maybe! But it tends to be always BL

since they are the ultramarines of chaos when it comes to marketing

[compact umbra]

Yeah, I wonder how these guys will be unique compared to regular csms

Since you can run any killteam on the table top

Like the main game

[crisp forge]

We'll need to see, not sure when this boxset is being exactly released though...

[compact umbra]

yeah you can run the sisters killteam as it’s own unique unit

75 points for the sisters novitiate squad?

That seems like a bit much

Also I’m 100% gonna buy the killteams starter set

Since it’s only 80-90 bucks

All you lose is the terrain, the cards, and some missions. But you get everything else

[rare solstice]

i'm curious to the terrain

[vivid rune]

Theyre awesome melee tarpits for mifield obj stealing

[compact umbra]

ahhh i see

[vivid rune]

So much infact youre only allowed 1 unit

[rare solstice]

will we see like some chaos held ship maybe? like a space hulk.

[compact umbra]

maybe? what was terrain like for the tau sisters box?

[vivid rune]

Prob new terrain for this one or exsisting eldar terrain

[rare solstice]

tall imperial ruins

[vivid rune]

Granted only half of the octarius box was new terrain

[rare solstice]

which I get, just how many imperial terrain sets do we need.

[vivid rune]

All the junk piles are from the mekboy workshop

[compact umbra]

i think the main question is, why is some corsairs fucking with chaos space marines?

[vivid rune]

I was hoping to see a return of those energy barriers for tau in the sister box

[compact umbra]

that heavily depends on what legion

[vivid rune]

I want that terrain so badly but cant find it

[compact umbra]

unless then its black legion

[vivid rune]

Its nachmund

[rare solstice]

Yeah, I was a bit biased not having the workshop and having already built a kill team sized board of Ork slum huts that terrain gave me a small boards worth of great terrain, at least when I finish my squig pen

[vivid rune]

Black legion wants it

Corsairs could just be there for raiding stuff

[rare solstice]

is it confirmed CSM or is the faction listing CSM

[vivid rune]

Its CSM

They accidentally said so in the URL

[rare solstice]

because there's leaked rumours of a mutant unit for chaos, so we could see a mutant squad

[compact umbra]

i know alot of poeple complained that the warpsmith chaos vs eldar box was black legion, so maybe it owuld be something else?

[rare solstice]

ah ok

[vivid rune]

In lore Nachmund is being invaded by blsck legion

No other chapter is there

[compact umbra]

yeah fuck you, its the flawless hosts

[vivid rune]

Abbadon wants it

[compact umbra]

damn :(

[vivid rune]

That being said

[compact umbra]

what if its just chaos cultists?

not even any csms

[rare solstice]

CSM could still be the faction placeholder name

[vivid rune]

It wouldnt suprise me if the CSM sprues for the box are CHOCK full of options that wont stop you from building it to be any other legion

Both pathfinders and commandos had tons of options

[compact umbra]

I just prey it would look good as emperors children\

[rare solstice]

Thing is, would they need a marine unit, for kill team maybe an aspiring champion leading a mutants/cultists unit would work

either way, we'll find out soon enough and i'll probably bag it either way

[compact umbra]

like, these guy slook good for like 3 legions

black, word, and maybe uhhh

[rare solstice]

if it's CSM I get a squad to match my cultists, if it's more rabbly dudes i'm happy too.

[compact umbra]

red corsairs

honestly why teh fuck dont i make a red corsiars csm army or at least killteam? since emperors children play so much different from them

i can just have both

[vivid rune]

I could see this working for literally every legion, want it less chaosy? Just nip some of the spikes off, want Emps kids? Just greenstuff some tubing in there

Dude on bottome left has the speaker chest

[compact umbra]

the problem is that alot of emperors childern player use palatine blades as chosen

and just kit bash thtem to hold the proper weapons

[vivid rune]

How is that a problem? Kitbashing is great

[compact umbra]

i mean i am gonan do that

[hoary ermine]

Does the dude on the bottom left have a stache or is it his growl?

[compact umbra]

but the chosen is just the reason im not gonna buy the warpsmith box

[hoary ermine]

Cause i swear all chaos marines are bald or have topknots

[compact umbra]

they do look good tho

[compact umbra]

emperors childern are supposed to have long white hair

but its literally never been in any model ever

noise marines dont count

[hoary ermine]

I know

But im talking models

[compact umbra]

yeah, its weird

also tbh, more csms legions and should have thier own upgrade kits

noise marine one is a crime agaisnt humanity, but the night lords one is super good

ffor night lords

[hoary ermine]

Where is my chaos marine with curly hair and a pencil mustache

[compact umbra]

'EH EHE HEHHH, I HAVE TRAPPED YOUR SISTER REPENTA ON THE TRAIN TRACKS'

god that made me think of word bearers, and how they are just cartoon villians in the lore atm

[lapis tundra]

JOIN ME

RED CORSAIRS GANG

[compact umbra]

what is their playstyle anyway?

[lapis tundra]

Bruh no idea man i just paint em

[compact umbra]

lmao

oh wiat i forgot they dont exist in the normal csm codex, they are in the faith and fury book i dont have

wahpedia time

GOD DAMN IT WHY DO WE NEED LIKE 50 BOOKS TO FUCKING PLAY CSMS

[lapis tundra]

Rip

[compact umbra]

YOU NEED THE FUCKING BLACK STONE FORTRESS BOOK FOR FUCK SAKE

[lapis tundra]

Just dont play ez 😎

[rain void]

it's modern 40k

supplements for the supplements

[compact umbra]

OH Thats cool you can run red corsairs as a detachment

ahh i see they generate alot of command points

[vivid rune]

Good ol Rules Bloat

[hoary ermine]

🇬 🇱

[compact umbra]

yeah okay so they have a better charge, get more command points, and can redeploy any unit after the movement phase

at any point of the game

ithas to be with in 6 inches of the edge of the battle field and 9 inches away form the enemy

that seems very abusable

fuck you
puts havoc marines behind you

yeah i legit might urn a detachment of them just for the extra cp

inspecially with the recent point decrease for normal csms

i can spend 30 points for 3 free command points

[median pumice]

Bruh. This custom mini and paintwork....

[edgy jackal]

Could submit that to golden demon

[hoary ermine]

Cog axe grip

[median pumice]

Pretty sure its not a gw model so i dont think it would count but good lord thats a great mini

[summer elbow]

you might be able to repurpose old computor wires for the outer shell and feed them under the grip for comfert. Add to the techno vibe it has.

black wires are good all purpose, wont pry eye focus away too wildly, gentle use of blue or green would both complimentary and helpful in drawing the eyes attention.

that's all I can think of to improve this delightful peice.

[summer elbow]

[hoary ermine]

[summer elbow]

like re-useing old wires around parts of the staff. a modeling drill can create naturally sized entrance ports to glue them into.

[hoary ermine]

My neiral vaults return pog

[hoary ermine]

You mean flatpack cables

And i dont know what you mean with feeding them under the grip for comfort?

[summer elbow]

like... sorry let me find the right words.

sort of like, wrapping them under it? so they can snake past your hand without discomfort?

[hoary ermine]

Under what?

The leather?

[summer elbow]

yeah, the grip material.

[hoary ermine]

The grip material thats already been put down and strapped to the rod?

With a tension fit?

[summer elbow]

derp...

my bad.

All the same, loving the progress so far ^^

''this actually works...''

yeah, it does

theres always been ways to make a melee commander

[hoary ermine]

so...

my armor is too heavy

my techpriest cosplay is not happening with true steel as i hoped for if i dont remove links from the segmentata

the issue is; removing links is permanent

i dont have access to the forge to re-attach them

Cutting 4 links from the bottom up frees 1/3rd of the weight

it also allows me to add in a supporting belt if i need to

even with the padded out shoulders

it will also allow me to work with the chestpiece to use it as a coat strap, allowing me to show my legs better with the skirt

[granite prairie]

If ur not using that roman armor ill take it!

[rocky badge]

youre not taking the cosplay seriously if you dont amputate at least 2 limbs

[hoary ermine]

thatd be the size and body issue

[hoary ermine]

^

[rocky badge]

does it have a weight limit to be allowed or something?

[granite prairie]

Im being serious

[hoary ermine]

stilts

120kg bearing strength with 5kg flux

if i drop the armor i lose 15kg of the total cosplay weight

[hoary ermine]

look again

our body types have to match if you want to be able to wear that in any way shape or form and it cost me 300 euros

[granite prairie]

Grrr

@hasty sorrel scopes use the Cawl Cog instead of the rails to attach

[hasty sorrel]

for what?

[lapis tundra]

Pain and suffering

[hasty sorrel]

oh right

ye the primaris snipers are dumb af

the rails serve no purpose

[edgy cipher]

the primaris sniper are dumb af

[lapis tundra]

Also

[surreal meadow]

classis spess mahreen design

[hoary ermine]

well step 1; Occular implants link to that scope so they shouldnt have to use it
step 2; that front nub doesnt guide anything as shown, its worthless, BUT I SUPPOSE if there is a sensor at the end of that rail, it could be for the machine spirit to detect barrel deviation?
Step 3; primaris

[hasty sorrel]

also the fact the silencer has a muzzlebreak built into it, defeating the purpose of a silencer

[hoary ermine]

who says its a silencer

maybe its a loudener

[surreal meadow]

i will say one thing though, i do kind of appreciate how the primaris mech's off-hand has the utility of either punching/crushing shit or drawing a big iron from its hip

[hoary ermine]

Silencer

Loudener

[hoary ermine]

You know the worst thing about the loudener?:

[untold pier]

Strapped up

[hoary ermine]

TECHNICALLY YOU COULD

[lapis tundra]

ARMOUR
UP
THE
FUCKING
PILOT

[hoary ermine]

no

only eldar and sobs get to make rational decisions

[untold pier]

Yea its called a compensator

[hoary ermine]

no no

[lapis tundra]

Random cultist with pistol takes out that mech

[surreal meadow]

also the fact that despite having a main arm cannon and two auxillary front-mounted guns, they still thought 'you know, this thing might need a sidearm'

[hoary ermine]

its called a fat dick

cum loud and hard my comrades

scare chaos away

[urban harbor]

why? a space marine's power armor is as good as a light armored vehicle

[hoary ermine]

aye

and a lasgun can kill it with a good shot

your point?

[untold pier]

This thing vs one pathfinder with a rail rifle

More armor isnt bad

[surreal meadow]

get marker lighted gue'la

[lapis tundra]

Because marines are too dumb to armour up their bellies

Literally exposed

[urban harbor]

ok but a pathfinder with a rail rifle can kill a battle tank so more armor wont help there

[surreal meadow]

never forget the dreadknight

[lapis tundra]

Also helmet

[hoary ermine]

shuriken catapult, lasgun, rail rifle, pulse blaster, a single bolter round, any form of explosive ordnance, sniper rounds, a Steel Balled Elysian with a primed melta grenade

all of these are options to take out the pilot

[lapis tundra]

Even a regular autogun or pistol will take the marine out

[hoary ermine]

A nice stub cannon, autogun, a few lucky stub rounds, any form of plasma

imagine

a harlequin seeing that pilot

[surreal meadow]

that's debatable, those weapons usually only work because of horde tactics

[hoary ermine]

I swear it will cream its fucking jumper

[lapis tundra]

Literally make a dreadnought out of it

[hoary ermine]

no

[untold pier]

Ur thinking of a heavy rail rifle or a railgun, a light rail rifle could conceivably kill a tank, it take several persice shots tho

[hoary ermine]

You can literally punch a hole through a space marines seams with a lasgun or a stub rifle/pistol

[urban harbor]

um again space marine power armor is more or less light tank levels of protection so i fail to see any none anti vehicle round doing anything to it

[hoary ermine]

let alone the eyes

[untold pier]

The armor is, the exposed belly aint

[hoary ermine]

the belly armor is the flexible joint stuff

[lapis tundra]

You can pen it with .50 cal stuff

[surreal meadow]

right, that's why lone guardsmen frequently kill squads of space marines, and why space marines cower in reverence at the thought of the guardsman

[lapis tundra]

And again, the belly isnt armored

[hoary ermine]

🤠

You reading what i say?

[surreal meadow]

you lookin to draw, pardner?

[lapis tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/shoot-gift-gif-13384546

[hoary ermine]

The SEAMS of the armor are WEAK to lower end munitions

[lapis tundra]

The seams are less than weak

[hoary ermine]

its KNOWN that a lasgun can shoot out a marines skull by hitting the eye lens

[surreal meadow]

right, so i said that in that case, a guardsman can kill a marine easy

[dusk hill]

As a general rule of thumb, astartes are very durable shock infantry but they're best written not being entirely invulnerable to smallarms imo

[surreal meadow]

it's why it happens so often

[hoary ermine]

a guardsman CAN kill a marine easily

[untold pier]

If he was as fast and as reactive as one yea

But they aint

[surreal meadow]

right, so what's the big deal with them? they're so weak

[dusk hill]

it's like tau battlesuits or like,, any necron basically. tough, but focus fire of most guns will kill them

[hoary ermine]

being ABLE to and GETTING THE CHANCE are 2 different things

literally

40 lasguns cook a marine

crispy

[dusk hill]

yee. Obvs it's inconsistent per different authors & depictions but that works the best imo

[urban harbor]

the belly of that pilot is a stupidly small target and you will only get one shot at it

[dusk hill]

cus otherwise marines become really annoying to write around, esp in urban combat

[untold pier]

Yea ur basic guardsman would have trouble tracking and hitting weak points on a fast moving, dodging marine

[hoary ermine]

okay and then we roll back to every species that isnt the imperial guard

[surreal meadow]

i literally said earlier that the reason those weapons work is because of horde tactics

[hoary ermine]

eldar with their conserved shots

[dusk hill]

ugh i guess i gotta introduce some kind of big boy gun cus i wanna do marines in this segment

[hoary ermine]

it was an extra example

thanks for ignoring the rest chief

: )

Eldar conserve their shots, firing one by one to aim for weakpoints, they do this actively

[surreal meadow]

you're the one slinging outlandish claims bud, don't get mad at me for picking them out

[untold pier]

BL writers have v lil concept of non conventional warfare

[hoary ermine]

Im not slinging any outlandish claims

[surreal meadow]

a single lasgun beating a space marine?

[hoary ermine]

youre the one disagreeing with them while everyone is agreeing with the issue

[untold pier]

It could feasibly happen, just not likely

[urban harbor]

doable but the odds of it happening are very very slim

[untold pier]

Yea

[hoary ermine]

we are talking about the fact that its possible

not them getitng the chance to do it

[surreal meadow]

yeah, and a nuke can fall on your house in 10 seconds, what use is it for me to say that ever?

[dusk hill]

?

[hoary ermine]

being that exposed in something as stationary as a battlesuit is bad

[dusk hill]

Ok i've lost track of u

[hoary ermine]

end of the story

same ratty lmao

[urban harbor]

all the power armor gene modding and training in the galaxy wont save you from a lucky shot

[surreal meadow]

astronomically minimal odds aren't worth mentioning

[hoary ermine]

Yes they are

because it happens

and people take the time to get their lucky shots

eldar train for the shots

tau WORK for the shots

necrons GO for the shots

[surreal meadow]

right, that's why everyone's so worried about spontaneous combustion on the news

[dusk hill]

,, it's not astronomically low that u get a good shot on a heavily armoured opponent

[hoary ermine]

Thats 3 races already

[dusk hill]

that's a very important element of writing action scenes with heavy armour as a factor lol

not so fancy

[untold pier]

My Friend

[surreal meadow]

if they're taking their time for a lucky shot, that is not a lucky shot anymore, elyksis

[dusk hill]

SIR

[hasty sorrel]

so astronomically low it takes a single sniper drone to shoot an entire SM squad with eye shots

very rare

[dusk hill]

stop

[untold pier]

We are talking about the SCIFI works of WARHAMMER 40k.

[dusk hill]

plus plasma guns in general turn marines into slag fsgh

[hoary ermine]

youre lucky to hit a shot like this regardless

[hasty sorrel]

or you know

a heavy bolter

[untold pier]

Terminator squad too lmao

[hasty sorrel]

what good is your mech if anti infantry equipment deals with it

[dusk hill]

basically everything stronger than a lasgun can plonk marines with bodyshots

[surreal meadow]

if the odds are the same regardless of the time it takes them to prepare, why do they prepare?

[hasty sorrel]

they don't

[dusk hill]

it's just like, lasguns and stubbers basically that u gotta worry abt

[hasty sorrel]

you are saying they need to

[hoary ermine]

say we take the optimal setting for the marine;
Hes moving, hes wearing normal armor, the enemy is a guardsman

3 things need to line up'; the guardsman needs an angle to shoot at the head, the guardsman needs to actually aim for the head, the guardsman needs to be lucky enough to lobotomize the marine

[hasty sorrel]

the gocart mech is dumb

[surreal meadow]

i never said they needed to line up the shot, i'm implying they need a bigger fuckin' gun

[hasty sorrel]

i mean

[dusk hill]

Ok like

[hasty sorrel]

a normal boltgun

will kill a marine

so a normal boltgun will kill that mech

making that mech pointless

[urban harbor]

the un armored sentinal is even more dumb tho

[hoary ermine]

What happens in this entire scenario, when that marine charges forward and gets hit in the eye with a SINGLE lasgun shot

he dies

[surreal meadow]

oh, i never said the mech was worthwhile, i just like how it has a funny sidearm instead of a second arm cannon

it's endearing

[hasty sorrel]

un armoured sentinel atleast is fast af as a scout thing, and is armoured bar the canopy, its like the difference between a long range recon jeep and a humvee

[hoary ermine]

big pistol make me go GNNN

no no skele

REMEMBER

That is a stealth insertion assault vehicle

[surreal meadow]

yeah, also scout sentinels aren't meant to be in open warfare

[hoary ermine]

The roll-cage, baby wagon with side pistol

IS A FUCKING STEALTH UNIT

[dusk hill]

yee not everything has to be super heavily armoured

[hasty sorrel]

thats the labels put on it yes, but its not believable at all

[surreal meadow]

stealth is a stupid word to use in warfare anymore, especially in 40k

[hoary ermine]

B-BUT IT CAN DEEPSTRIKE AND HAS THE STEALTH ROLES

S-SO ITS STEALTHY 😠

[surreal meadow]

for humanity, stealth 99% doesn't exist, it's just a recon vehicle

[dusk hill]

that model is kinda confusing in general yeah

[urban harbor]

cawl just codied the eldar cloaking tech and put in in the mech

[dusk hill]

I am doing a stealth
STOMP STOMP STOMP
BRRTTTTT

[hoary ermine]

look

[hasty sorrel]

cawl n primaris can go in the bin

[hoary ermine]

i want eldar to get different walkers

i ahte their walkers

okay

im sorry

[surreal meadow]

to be fair, you don't have to stay stealthy to be stealthy at all

[hoary ermine]

but i dislike the eldar chickens

[dusk hill]

The big chunky primaris aesthetic doesn't go so well with stealth vibes

[hasty sorrel]

the war walker is garbage

[untold pier]

Ghostkeel and stealthsuits ftw

[hoary ermine]

i liked phobos ngl

[elfin yew]

Aspect shiekds go brr

I DO NOT care about practicality in 40k, nothing about it is meant to be. Its all show and glamor and nonsense

Arguing about somthing being practical in 40k is super fucking dumb sorry not sorry

[dusk hill]

practicality can be cool but u don't have to stand by it

[vivid rune]

Ye

Whats that craftworld that Drunk remberancer always makes porn of?

I like the purple

[elfin yew]

Is it the meme one?

You'd have to show a example

[vivid rune]

Um

[elfin yew]

I've seen one meme that's not a actual CW, just a play on some hentai term

[vivid rune]

The purple one?

Wait

Yep

It is

Craft world Gya'ru

[elfin yew]

Yee not a real craftworld

[vivid rune]

Damn its a good color scheme

@elfin yew wait if i paint my CW eldar a custom scheme nothing is stopping me from playing them as a named craftworld right? Lile tourniment wise

[cosmic venture]

AYO

[elfin yew]

Ye

[surreal meadow]

thank you

also god bless drunkremembrancer

i think official gw tournaments might expect you to play troops painted as an existing color scheme as those troops specifically, but if it's a custom scheme i'm pretty sure you can use any set of rules

[dusky mango]

How does homebrewing craftworlds work? can u do it in the same way u would with an astartes chapter?

or is it just a different paint scheme but u have to use the same premade rules?

[elfin yew]

In terms of rule It's just painting them

you can run any trait you want

or use the custom traits

p much just like any faction

[dusky mango]

nice

[lapis tundra]

Ok made some more progress, 1 more final highlight for his pants and maybe some more stuff on the wood, then varnish and some grass tufts and hes done

Alas light said fuck you so you cant really make out the first highlight on his pants

I see he's going through his Metal Gear arch lol.

[tight hatch]

anyone here have any experience with oyumaru and miliput?

going to try my luck and recast some bits for personal use like data tether, alpha torso and omnispex and the one handed galvanic/radium rifle

[cosmic venture]

I have some experience with miliput but will probably be unhelpful.

Yeeee I'm out sorry

[vivid rune]

Oh my god

[cosmic venture]

Has he said or done anything really negative?

[vivid rune]

Nah i just get real bad vibes from sam hyde, thats all

[rose osprey]

if /pol/ likes him then he's probably bad

[cosmic venture]

Oh yeah, Hyde is just that kind of dude, idk what he's going for if it's just blind offensiveness

[cosmic venture]

pol/ just likes him because he's edgy and stuff

[surreal meadow]

probably ended up in the drawing because he's such a meme at this point

[cosmic venture]

I mean from the og post they were referencing how anytime there is a mass shooting people spam news sources with pics of Hyde holding a gun and saying it's him and then people say "How can he keep getting away with it?" so I'm assuming Alpharius always gets away with something?

Idk

[surreal meadow]

like how people sometimes post pictures of him when talking about the unabomber, i think it's something of an inside joke that he's responsible for all kinds of atrocities

[cosmic venture]

Yeee

It's a dead meme that only /pol/ uses now though

Even Hyde called it stupid

[urban harbor]

who is sam hyde?

[cosmic venture]

Online personality that just creates offensive content/skits.

Kind of got really popular during the whole "offending snowflakes" era like 2015

Though originally pretty much everyone posted his memes, then he became very much associated with 4chan and only they started using them.

[urban harbor]

i see

[rose osprey]

i know him because he got fired from adult swim and tim heidecker doesn't like him

he's also a trump supporter

[cosmic venture]

Yeah, I only learned about his adult swim stuff recently

Overall, he's really not that great of a guy

[rose osprey]

In 2017, Hyde pledged $5,000 towards the legal defense fund of Andrew Anglin, the founder and editor of neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer

[urban harbor]

i mean isnt that the only group of people that use 4chan now a days?

[cosmic venture]

Yoooo he did? That's crazy

Nah, like I said I don't know much about him so I never looked into him much, just what others have said.

[urban harbor]

that is a very trumpian thing to do lol

[cosmic venture]

Yeah, that's pretty fucked.

[tight hatch]

its scary i was just thinking about sam hyde and watched a video about him while painting and now you guys are talking about him lol

Also found a way to magnetize skitarii feet for arquebus and galvanic rifle switching for rangers

[unborn night]

nice

[sweet hull]

from playing battlesector the phrases "VICTORY FOR THE BLOOD BLADES! VICTORY FOR SKYFALL!" and "WE ARE THE WALL! WE ARE THE GUNS!" are now burned into my head

[trim hemlock]

How is Battle Sector? I've been eyeing it lately and I hear it's supposed to get Crons at some point

[sweet hull]

Next dlc is necrons yeah

I never finished the campaign because my interest kinda fell off right at the end and I never touched multiplayer

Game is fun but it tends to feel a tad imbalanced towards the end

Might just be because its nids but it doesn't feel imbalanced in a manageable way sometimes

Overall its pretty fun I've not kept up with the game since about december so they've probably ironed out a ton of the issues

the veteran system in the campaign isn't the best either really but I don't know if they've changed anything with that

I'd say if you've got the chance give it a shot

[trim hemlock]

Sweet, I'll snag it next sale then

[sweet hull]

Campaign is surprisingly long too might just be because the missions take a lot of planning but I got right to the end of the final act after about 35 or so hours

theres a lot of indepth customization for units too like different weapons and equipment if thats your thing

[summer elbow]

classic colours, neither understated nor loud. Can't deny what works.

[summer elbow]

the brass was a nice touch

[urban harbor]

nice power axe

[hoary ermine]

so far so good

going to etch in a cog-skull onto it probably

and im thinking of adding the back of a head as well, a hammer head or something

[urban harbor]

can always make it an omnisiana axe and add a big wrench head to the back lol

[summer elbow]

I mean, both are tools and both with make a nice thump against grots touching your flashy bits

[hoary ermine]

it is an omnissian axe]

The axe is personalized to the wielder

[urban harbor]

oh didnt know that

[hoary ermine]

axes can have a wild array of backpieces

most commonl;y an engineseer will use a clamp to identify their vehicle repair and fieldmanship

as most imperial vehicles have heavy bolts

a techpriest of the dominus battle clades will often attach extendable data probes and jacks, making the back of their axe spikey and ridged

another might, for example explorators, mount a gun or heavy thunderhammer head ontop of the back to allow for combat resolvement, or, quick access to rooms

The Electropriests will mount a cog-shaped head on the end of their staves, allowing the coils to release their arcs of electricity into a jagged surface

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/329719332517052426/937125251681247322/unknown.png

here we have an example of a dataspike/jack with a poweraxe and a clamp

as techmarines often mimic field priests

[hoary ermine]

okay so now im at the point where i have to design the back head of the axe

do i go with... hammer, another blade, a gun?

[urban harbor]

wrench or hammer

[hoary ermine]

Someone is also recommending spikes

to reinforce the arc nature of the axe

[rough scarab]

calipers

it's a spike and a tool

[sly otter]

God i hope theres a tech priest character with the Omnissiah axe and Krubers moveset in Darktide

[tight hatch]

I have a theory its a stretch but the character you play in hired gun is an ex sicarian infiltrator maybe alpha 🤷🏻

Also finished these guys up last year forgot to post them and magnetising them was a bitch

[unborn night]

Me orks finally came in!

[hoary ermine]

Skitarii

Techpriest would be too much

Unless it something akin to an engineseer

[urban harbor]

tech adept

or more rather an initiate

[crisp forge]

The less mechanicus the better

😌

[tight hatch]

Failed 😞 hard today trying to recast using oyumaru and miliput

I think i found a fix/way to do it if i use my color shaper as a rolling pin and put less of the miliput in

[hoary ermine]

[green cave]

Tech adept is well within the possibilities, since we have a precedent with one of the last chancers

Skitarii is out definitely

[summer elbow]

Downside, failed test, upsire spare parts to melt down create something greater with!

[hoary ermine]

Skitarii can become adets >: )

[green cave]

Tech adept is lower than skitarii

And i think we are just referring to different things

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

You know, like the tier one class in W&G tech adept

They are adepts, but since they are part of the mechanicum, they are called tech adepts

[hoary ermine]

W&g?

[green cave]

Wrath & Glory, latest TTRPG

[hoary ermine]

Never played it

Regardless

[green cave]

Neither did i, but i have the manuals

[hoary ermine]

Skitarii are only slightly over guardsmen in firepower, but they are more resilienr

So, i dont doubt we can see a skitarii

[green cave]

No, not regardless, it is extremely important

[hoary ermine]

Rules as written =/= lore

Brb

[vale vector]

They often are in warhammer's case

[green cave]

Not really, they are more close to improved tempestus scions, although each skitarii is a work of its tech priest master, so they can vary very much

[green cave]

I'm not talking about rules in fact... I'm talking about lore, you know, manuals don't have only rules... Like codexes don't have only rules

And even before W&G it was dark heresy that mentioned tech adepts, as adepts that are part of the mechanicum

[vale vector]

Exactly. The WFRP and Dark Heresy manuals are filled with lore to explain/pad out the rules and universe, and I expect Wrath and Glory is no different

Just like the codexes

So yeah, it is loreful

[green cave]

On top of all this, it is stated in lore that one way to kinda increase one position in mechanicum hierarchy if you are very low is to manage to become a skitarii, so they need to have something below them...

[hoary ermine]

Yeah see i dont really read codexes

[vale vector]

There has to be something lower than soldier in the eyes of the mechanicus for sure. I'm not too familiar with their lore, but it'd make sense

[hoary ermine]

And since everyone seems to be constantly going for rules over lore

[vale vector]

I don't think anyone in this conversation is tbh

[green cave]

Fine, it is not mandatory, just know that lore is my source, not rules... Which i actually don't know lol

No, really, i have no idea of the rules lol

[hoary ermine]

Its more the general tone, not specifically here, with people going to rules too much

Kind assumptions tired argument deal

[vale vector]

Ah, a fellow lore connoisseur and rule ignorer lol

[hoary ermine]

Yes

[green cave]

Yup

[hoary ermine]

The best variant

[green cave]

I mean, i cannot play it, so no need to read them, or learn them in general

[hoary ermine]

Cog

[vale vector]

Never was a fan of the tabletop game myself, honestly just think every edition I've played is a pretty bad game. But the lore is too badass, and the models are beautiful

[hoary ermine]

I mean a generally enhanced human would be just fine for the game

[green cave]

Also i know that rules go for balance on the table and fun, so i simply disregard them as that

[vale vector]

Balance... Warhammer... Hah!

[hoary ermine]

Skitarii fits more imo

Mostly because, yes, even in hives, while under law of the adeptus mechanicus, skitarii tend to end up in jails before being transferred

[green cave]

Skitarii as a broad term i imagine... Maybe an hyspasist might be fine, since they are augmented humans, but still use lasguns... But they are also old lore, well before the modern skitarii come into place

[hoary ermine]

Mhm

I am interested to see what we get

Galvanic munitions are heavy, so being limited to them makes sense

Yknow, uranium bullet and all

[green cave]

It depend on the skitarii, but i doubt that the mechanicum would give his prisoners away, servitor material is quite precious and not departed easily... Yeah, even if the inquisition ask

[hoary ermine]

Aye

Though

Hives are rich with pocketed tech

Its in their interest

Especially if they already have feet on the ground

No need to waste more precious steel

[green cave]

We might get a liason officer maybe, but this is not a normal uprising, this is chaos stuff

[hoary ermine]

Aye

send the rad cohorts

[visual cliff]

Slowly getting there

[hoary ermine]

Cog

Lookin good

Foam helmet?

[green cave]

Looks good, wonder if you can say the same when using the helmet though... Seems it gonna limit visual quite a bit

[tight hatch]

Thats looks good

I hope GW makes minis of the darktide guys i would love to paint them and display them on my shelf or mcfarlane makes toys

[hoary ermine]

they never did it for vermintide so im doubtful but, we can hope

[charred ginkgo]

i hope there's skins/gear/whatever for the oldschool bugmen style of inquisitorial storm troopers

i just think they look so cool... mostly the helmets

err.. masks, or whatever you want to call it

their masks are spooky and weird... I like it better than the generic sci-fi look of the plastic tempestus scions heads

the face reminds me of like a cicada or a mantis or something
