It is bodybuild time

[lapis tundra]

[hoary ermine]

[edgy cipher]

Oh, Alliances are back

[dapper magnet]

wat

[hasty sorrel]

gsc

[hoary ermine]

Eldar : )

[twilit cliff]

Whatre alliances?

[rain void]

Different factions can constitute an army on TT

Most famously Blood Angels-Necrons

It was introduced in 6th to 1) sell more models 2) allow people with many factions to use a lot of their collection

Removed because it caused major balance issues that they had trouble mitigating

[twilit cliff]

Which thye have now succesfully solved?

[rain void]

Maybe? That or they’ve seen portents of $ signs again

[edgy cipher]

I've seen it and played it with old Warhammer, its essentially a 4 player game where you create and break alliances with other players depending of turns, cards and objectives etc
Not super competitive but very fun since it involves a lot of backstabbing

[dusky mango]

lmao

[twilit cliff]

That sounds hilarious

[hoary ermine]

So.... alpha legion the gamemode

[haughty pine]

Good luck with the shield 🙏

[twilit cliff]

i think it's wild how people paint fully assembled models

like how

[rocky badge]

ive always done it that way lol, too much impatience

if you cant reach it with a brush no one will be looking there anyway

[haughty pine]

I leave the arms and head off usually

I can understand it for some models

[twilit cliff]

i usually just paint stuff and then put it all together

It’s a headache but feels easier

[lavish perch]

I've seen in a video that there are appearently special rules if you have armies of a single origin (in that case, craftworld eldar only army get a 'Strings of fate' ability) I would assume you can't use those

what I came here for
I am stumbling again and again over 'Recasting'
what is it? quick rundown is enough

[hoary ermine]

Someone takes an original model, coats it in liquid, high detail latex or rubber, then uses that impression after its dried to remake the model in resin @lavish perch

Since they dont have to pay for making the steel mold or the origjnal model, they can sell it for a massively lower price

Because good resin is fucking cheap as hell

[lavish perch]

then it is what I thought
sounds like a lot of work but I can totally get why one would do that

so it basically was what fans with little paychecks did before 3d printing 😛

[hoary ermine]

Its different

[lavish perch]

yeah I get the different

[hoary ermine]

3d printing is time consuming and can go wrong easily

Resin casting is nearly not fuckable

The main reason people do it is to circumvent gws massive profit margin costs

Aka 45 euros for 5 models

But they also do it because forgeworld charges a premium for 2 reasons;
-return and resend
-speedy casting

Forgeworld resin is... okay

[lavish perch]

yeah, the pricetag is up to now the thing that stipped me from going into gw minis

[hoary ermine]

But for a multi million distributor

Let me tell you a funny

[lavish perch]

I'm always up for a funny 😄

[hoary ermine]

Gw makes so fucking much that when a friend of mine got a warlord titan, yes the 1700 euro one, with a golfball sized hole in the chesy

They sent him a full new one as a sorry

No charge

But get this. the new titan had mold slips on both legs

So they sent him another one.

He now has 3 warlord titans

Gw can apparently suffer casting 3 of those fuckers for the price of 1

[lavish perch]

I am in the firm believe (for years now) that gw could vastly increase their profits by
a) making their minis cheaper
and b) hiring some people with a brain for writing their lore

[hoary ermine]

Their lore is an issue soley because bad library

And their minis are a premium service

[rocky badge]

so the problem is the mold itself? the quality control or the design and size of components

[hoary ermine]

The first one they really couldnt have known

He heated the chest with warm water and a spot became foggy

[rocky badge]

oh just a big bubble

inside

[hoary ermine]

So when he tappedon it it collapsed

[lavish perch]

heat it with warm water?
to clean/prepare for working on it?
(miniture noob here :P)

[hoary ermine]

Yep

Resin needs to be cleaned

Third one was nearly flawless

[lavish perch]

well, at least that

[hoary ermine]

Aye

[lavish perch]

guess he can use the parts from the two damaged to make a second whole one

which is neat

[hoary ermine]

I just loved his messages over a week

"Bought a warlord"

"It broke"

"Theyre sending a new one!..... it also broke"

Guys i have 3 warlords help

[hoary ermine]

He took the chance to make 3

He repaired the hole in the first one with wood putty and covered it with a resin

[lavish perch]

I probably would have made two whole ones and... now that I think about it use the defective ones, carve them up a little and make cool terrain pieces out of it

titan wrecks probably make really neat combat terrain

okay now I decided, going to buy church of steel

they prolly not gonna have a titan...maybe a knight or two

okay, they have vehicles from factions in that book which were not even mentioned in all the other books, guess thats some future proofing

[charred ginkgo]

pre-kasrkin storm trooper models

so two generations old now

they were metal minis, I have some from ebay

[compact umbra]

THEIR HELMETS ARE SO COOL

[charred ginkgo]

yeah i'm a fan

the kasrkin looked too cadian and the new ones look too generic sci-fi imo

[compact umbra]

I wish they would do more stuff like the remake of the old noise marine model

[charred ginkgo]

yeah 80s hairmetal noise marines best noise marines

[hoary ermine]

I still want this for sisters of battle

actual proper armored plate

be it a special unit or something

otherwise ill have to go and make a mountable stl i guess

[river rose]

Do they not already have plate armor?

[hoary ermine]

boob plate lmao

[urban harbor]

not just any boob plate

massive boob plate

[river rose]

ah of course lol

Its for psychological warfare, you see

[urban harbor]

lol

[hoary ermine]

of course, like the codpiece!

[river rose]

Now youve got it

[hoary ermine]

WAIT

SINCE WHEN

[violet quiver]

Look what my boy got me

😊

[verbal sapphire]

Khorne-by

[compact umbra]

I’m gonna be honest

I think sisters being as power as space marines because of ‘faith’ is kinda

Weird and doesn’t make much sense

I play chaos and even then that still a bit much

Still a cool aesthetic

And that’s the most important part

[dusk osprey]

Fixed up my dads Syll’Esske model which had been broken in storage

Old man is a damned good baser

[compact umbra]

God that’s such a. Good model

[quaint halo]

And Amuro Zeta is complete

[tender ocean]

Ive got some more work to do for the white scars riever but the Salamander captain conversion was real fun

[dusk osprey]

2nd knight completed!

Knight Warden, he will be painted based on Hot Rod, the autobot

[hoary ermine]

Gonna fill these with random samples

And probably bacon

[urban harbor]

lol

[hoary ermine]

Maybe milk

[violet quiver]

Beautiful

[vivid rune]

I like the battle damage i gsve the shield

[violet quiver]

Oh zamn, didnt even notice that at first

Nice

[hoary ermine]

Coggers @vivid rune

[quaint halo]

So we're building character for a Mekton Zeta

And I rolled up a character who has 3 ex lovers and 2 were female and one is male

And his romantic life is "date anything that moves"

I'm totally running it as a androgynous sexy elf

[summer elbow]

Yeah sounds like an elf.

[vivid rune]

Dwarf fans hating elves for the things they love about dwarfs

[summer elbow]

Be it logical or not, my hatred of all elfkind is deep rooted and can only be satisfied via malicious violance and destruction.

[rose osprey]

Why are there so many elf-haters in this discord man

[proud gorge]

Because they don’t go outside

[surreal meadow]

i can't speak for anyone else, but in most of fiction elves end up being these pockets of minmax with longevity thatusually borders on, if not being outright immortality, give them their special weapons and armor that always far surpass what a mortal could ever make, and end up being perfectly serene and calm beings with no character flaws perhaps excepting that they pity the lesser folk for not being born awesome

at least warhammer elves are absolute pricks

[proud gorge]

I mean that’s the whole elder race™️ gimmick in a nutshell for both elves and dwarves; their undoing is almost always down to pride and/or greed

[surreal meadow]

i feel like elves get written as only diminishing as a major race in most of these worlds because they just don't have enough kids for whatever reason, being glossed over even

or just 'humans spread too much, they could never keep up'

[proud gorge]

I mean eh? I can’t think of any such settings off the top of my head where elves are cast as being perfect aside from population number

Maybe Lotr? But even then it’s shown they have flaws

[surreal meadow]

pretty sure there's nothing really wrong with them in any d&d or pathfinder setting, for instance

[proud gorge]

Idk about that, depends on the edition I suppose? Like Drow are typically pretty fucky

[surreal meadow]

well, i s'pose i wasn't so much including the typecast 'evil' cultures that broke off from the mainstream

but that's a fair point, the naughty designated bad guys are elves

[proud gorge]

Yeah it’s like dwarves are also typically cast as man’s best friend excepting corrupted sects/chaos dwarves

[surreal meadow]

yeh, dwarves also get simplified and idealized, and the main distinction i'd make between the two in most cases is that while elves are usually like, above mortals in terms of where they seat themselves in the natural order, i feel like dwarves end up alongside mortals, hearty instead of smug, y'know? willing to interact instead of just sequestering themselves off

so at least they end up being likable in that approachability

[proud gorge]

Yea elves are typically written to have a holier than thou vibe

[surreal meadow]

exactly, and i feel like while from the perspective of whatever mortal protagonist is there, this is a flaw in character, i feel like the settings themselves don't really follow through on that, since they usually are just better in every way

[summer elbow]

It's how you avoid falling into the clouds.

[vivid rune]

Except for the part about serene and pretty, you also just described dwarves

[crisp forge]

Sorry a bit late but

[tight hatch]

The only good elves 😂

[crisp forge]

but yeah

[brisk vapor]

Slowly getting this beauty done

[hoary ermine]

Yòoo

Thats hot

[brisk vapor]

Cheers!

[crisp forge]

love the orange color scheme and the black accents

or whatever the term is, the uh almost-spray painted looking parts

[hoary ermine]

Thats the good yellow orangec color

[twilit cliff]

That looks really good

[twilit cliff]

Looks like construction vehicles do in my book

[brisk vapor]

Thanks! The black parts (laser and flare launcher) are still unpainted, haven't yet figured out what I want to do with them 😄

[brisk vapor]

exactly this, gotta have some red/brown in there

[vivid rune]

NIIIIIICE!!!

[hoary ermine]

Typically true white and yellow paints have poor coverage, making it a very painful choice for large surfaces.

Ork snipers!

[royal compass]

haha, that reminds me of some bandit guns in Borderlands 3 that use a broken glass bottle in lieu of a scope

[quaint star]

I like to imagine Orks just shrug off the repeated blunt force trauma from the scope recoiling into their eye when firing

[rare solstice]

If it hurtz me how bad must it hurtz them

[rare solstice]

Oh the off chance a painter see's this, anyone know a good way to paint fossil bone? I want to paint the wraith units in my exodites as if their made from fossil dinosaur bones and i'm not too happy with the test bits i've done so far

[lime shuttle]

Just finished this guy, calling him “Eruption Eddie”

[dusk hill]

Nice of GW to finally release a plastic lhamean

[violet quiver]

Damn thats a good model

But you wanna see some real models?

How fucking beautiful….

Spotted at my local store

[dusk hill]

god bless

[violet quiver]

Honestly, this made my day

These things actually look pretty messed up when painted with modern techniques

[dusk hill]

they honestly do

it's legit not awful lookin

as opposed to the og bright red colourschemes

[vivid rune]

These look so dope!

[slate iris]

oooof.. almost like seeing some good old chaos dwarves painted with modern techniques.

[violet quiver]

Yeah I’m really impressed with the level of detail on the warriors.

[quaint halo]

HUG MEH

[thorny totem]

Not 40k but I got Mechs

[vivid rune]

Ooo love these ones

[vivid rune]

Update on my tank for you guys

the other 2 sides arent painted

[dusky mango]

that is incredible, great work puddles

[violet quiver]

omg thats beautiful

u killin it

[frank hemlock]

holy shit the consistency and vibrancy of that red

It's so... regal

[frank hemlock]

I normally don't like a lot of purple or pink on designs, but I really like the evangelion-esque style you've made!

[thorny totem]

It’s very much Evangelion

Yes

I also have this Peregrine from Battletech that I’m basing on Rick Dom

The lighting is terrible at this moment

But I assure you it has the faded green on the chest

[compact umbra]

I wanna host a dnd campaign in a specific scifi universe

But the are all furries and I don’t wanna have custom races for the campaign So they aren’t interested

[surreal meadow]

is it necessary that they have special stats and stuff for being furries? can they not just be furries and then pretend that it's normal?

[compact umbra]

Nah just the sci-fi universe doesn’t have like full on furries

The closest is like, midget alligators

[surreal meadow]

yeah, but like

if that's the only bar to entry they're imposing on themselves, could they not just make their furries and then the world around them just doesn't treat it as out of place at all? or are they outright looking for special bonuses for being animalistic?

[compact umbra]

Ahhh, I see that’s a good point, I didn’t consider that.

[surreal meadow]

might conflict with the setting a bit, but it's also Your Dudes and if they're not asking for any special rules then i don't see why not, eh?

unless they get all weird about it, then i can understand

[compact umbra]

Yah it will

A lot

Most alien and alot of humanoid species are extremely different form each other

[thorny totem]

There with a little better lighting

Shadow Cat as well I finished today

Mist Lynx i think This one is called

And my Hunchback I finished minutes ago

Lots of Mechs lol

[compact umbra]

hey how do you start getting into battle tech?

[urban harbor]

i would assume the same way you do warhammer

[compact umbra]

Oh lmao there da starter box

[slate iris]

where da rules?!

[urban harbor]

lol

[quaint halo]

The big book is out of print but thet did just start reprinting the beginners box for $30 and have the more robust "game of armored combat" and clan invasion sets for $60 a piece

stuff for the necromunda expansion?

[edgy cipher]

I wonder if it has any link with the leaked vehicle from last year

[brisk vapor]

what leaked vehicle? may have missed it

[twilit cliff]

The mad max necromunda stuff

Also im getting travelling orlock vibes from the rumour engine above

[hoary ermine]

it looks great

i love stowage on vehicles

makes them look so much more alive

[brisk vapor]

yeah saw the announcement and connected the spots of rumour engines revealed before it to the art shown in the trailer, but can't remember any leaks last year

[twilit cliff]

I only wish it was IG news

[vivid rune]

That drum mag looks like its for an heavy stubber, this is def for necromunda ashen wastes

Good amount of books available with humble

[vivid rune]

Its unfortunate half of these are stinkers and the good ones are only included at rhe highest tier

[placid kernel]

Which ones are the bad ones out of curiosity?

[vivid rune]

@placid kernel valedor dark harvest and ghoul slayer are the only good ones in the 6 dollar bundle

Space marine books are horribly written and samey

All the books added in on the 14 dollar bundle are also poopy

[placid kernel]

What about the astra militarum ones, or the other AoS ones, know if they are any good?

[vivid rune]

The only exception id say are the primarch books

[vivid rune]

Ghoulslayer and covens of blood were realllly good

I love how the flesh eater courts where written in ghoul slayer

[placid kernel]

Was hoping covens was good, and I'll give ghoul slayer a read too on that recommendation

[vivid rune]

FEC are great villains since you HAVE too write them dynamically in order to be faithful to the fsction

The fake reality they see in their heads and the actual reality around them

[placid kernel]

Oh the whole "noble knights on a quest" whilst they are massacring a group of civilians thing?

[vivid rune]

Yep

Theres this great part where the king whos "putting down a rebellion in his kingdom" gets really mad and confused because he offers a hand of merciful surrender to the defenders and he just starts screaming and the king is like "WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SCREAM?!?!"

the ghoul king is such a fun character in the book

[placid kernel]

Hahaha I didn't even realise they still perceived other people truthfully

[vivid rune]

Its so good

Also Traccos, the Stormcast Eternal companion of gotrek is a complete broken himbo

[placid kernel]

Broken as in powerful?

[vivid rune]

No

Hes

Broken mentally

[placid kernel]

Ah gotcha

[vivid rune]

I can only describe him as a few screws loose

[placid kernel]

I imagine even for the flesh eaters it's a daunting reality, it would be so confusing to have no else seem to reflect your perception of reality, sorta like dementia or something

[vivid rune]

Gotrek is...well hes gotrek gurnnison. They didnt change how they write him for the new book series

[placid kernel]

One too many reforges?

[vivid rune]

Exactly, he gets so upset when things just arent working like they should in his reality

[vivid rune]

Waaaay too many reforges

[placid kernel]

What's the name of the creatures stormcast become when the reforging fails?

Sounds like they're not too far away from one of them

[vivid rune]

Oh fuck

Its in the battletome somewhere

Its a bit of lore they dont touch on very frequently

[brisk vapor]

my two cents are that Devastation of Baal is quite good and The Solar War is alright if you're planning on reading all of Siege of Terra.

Valdor is excellent, Avenging son is pretty good, the second instalment of dawn of fire is better though. Fear to Tread is a pretty good HH book.

I've heard Titanicus and Brutal Kunnin are excellent.

Rest are unknown to me

[vivid rune]

Devistation of baal was so bad

[brisk vapor]

oh yeah Bloodlines ought to be good because it's by Chris Wraight

[vivid rune]

The absolute plot armor they give space marine characters in that book is nonsense

Baal SHOULD BE DEAD

That hive fleet SHOULD OF killed that planet

[brisk vapor]

It's been a while but I don't remember any glaringly bad plot armour bits

[vivid rune]

Mephiston is still the number one badly written space marine character out there

He does shit in the blood angels books that go beyond plot armor and just become immersion breaking because you read it and go" olay wtf he shouldnt be able to do that"

[brisk vapor]

.. There's a lot of Guy Haley in that bundle, too bad for he isn't the strongest writer for BL

[vivid rune]

Yeaaaa

[brisk vapor]

But again Valdor is excellent, I'd buy the mid tier bundle for that one alone

Would buy the largest tier just for Titanicus and Brutal Kunnin, but I prefer audiobooks so I can work on the models whilst listening

[placid kernel]

I think that's the guy that I've heard some seriously dumb stuff about, can't he like stop time or something lol

[compact umbra]

For my feathered tryanids il probably but this box

A flyer based army would be fun

[violet quiver]

I want to like Guy Haley, he writes some great scenes sometimes, but it’s tough

[twilit seal]

if i played tyranid fliers i'd probably try my best to modify at least a few to look like these guys https://bendjinn.files.wordpress.com/2021/01/da399-bio-raptor.png?w=656

I like the coil one more

Well, maybe not coil but capacitor

[hoary ermine]

I can make a rounded coil

[green cave]

Also a capacitor can be used as a way to say "yeah, you see, i can zap you too when i axe you", while clamp as just very basic and not much, just to show

thought it was going to be for the OBR when it was teased

shame

the fucking OW logo

i hate it

[placid kernel]

btw does anyone know where you can get good WH prints?

[crisp forge]

Its Reaper from OW skelly

[hasty sorrel]

na the new years/xmas teases were eldar v chaos

[placid kernel]

they also teased a nighthaunt though

and the new DoK model

[hoary ermine]

Its a love hate relationship dw

[sly otter]

Is that a strong unit

The model itself not Reaper

[crisp forge]

No idea

i dont play tabletop

[edgy cipher]

We don't know the new stats of the dude so who knows

So far he looks decent

Plus I assume he has more special rules

[elfin yew]

Hes okay but dark reapers and him are outshined

Dark reapers dont have battlefocus and there are better elite/antitank options

I will still get them bcuz Nice

His morale ability doesnt rlly mean much + all PLs now give obsec to their aspect

Which isnt too relevsnt for reapers

[edgy cipher]

Especially since they are just a sit back and fire kind of unit

[elfin yew]

Yeah

They also lost their always hits on 3+

So even worse now

[edgy cipher]

Tbh the new fire dragons outshine the Dark reapers in anti vehicle and elite infantry

[quaint halo]

Jesus christ Mechwarrior Online custom paint jobs are horrifying

[elfin yew]

Exactly

[edgy cipher]

Dark reapers just are safer and a bit more flexible

[elfin yew]

And for long range antitank we have so much

Fire prisms. Warwalkers with buffed bright lances

Wave serpents with bright lances

[edgy cipher]

Bright lances ftw

[elfin yew]

And the new nightspinners are amazing anti elite

Dark reapers suffer having been good in the old codex, so not being brought up to level

Its esp funny seeing Ra be outclassed by the ancient PLs

[edgy cipher]

I haven't seen the nightspinner stats atm

[elfin yew]

Karandras now does 2mw on a 6 and can do 14 attacks

Lemme find it

Spinner + crystal targetting matrix = good artillery

[edgy cipher]

Strand of Fate is the 6s right ?

[elfin yew]

Got a small story. So last night me and some friends were playing Battletech and I had my Timberwolf. My friend was on the opposite side of a magma lake from me and, instead of walking around to get to him, I just kinda walked through it (taking damage and generating heat to do so) and I eventually beat him two rounds later, but he continuously joked about the lower half of my mech becoming molten metal

So I painted it like this to commemorate the legendary (legendarily stupid) moment

“I don’t care if my legs turn to slag! I’m gonna kick your ass!”

[lavish perch]

Honestly love the story and the trophy

[opal egret]

Eh

Its a known thing for Timberwolves to just... Ignore lava sometimes

I know a book where a Timberwolf ends up to its knee's in lava and still manages to walk out of it, damaged and overheated, but functional.

So

Know you are continuing a proud legacy

[thorny totem]

I’m happy to have contributed

I used a bit of green stuff as well for the lava

[opal egret]

Noice

Looks good

[thorny totem]

Oh! And my friend made his Axman a snow themed mech

So we have this ice and fire theme

[opal egret]

Very nice indeed. Interesting mech, too, the Axeman.

An Axeman appearing out of a snow drift is a very scary thought.

[thorny totem]

(It was his first paint job for a Mech and I am proud of him cuz it’s very nice)

I also let him use some green stuff and my spare terrain bits to add the plants and snow

[opal egret]

S'not bad at all

My own mechs aren't great but eh

Lemme find em...

Custom color scheme for my own personal merc unit

Teal/Gold/Black

Well

More like Teal/Gold/Dark grey-green.

Grey primer, light grey wash

[thorny totem]

They match. Mine do not at all lol

Mine are all different in little ways

[opal egret]

Eh. That's an okay approach too

[thorny totem]

My Camo Marauder II-C is a favorite of mine

Assorted Mediums and Lights

MAD twins

Nightstar

And that’s it aside from mechs that I let my friends paint

[opal egret]

Very neat

All the classic designs too

Prefer the MWO reinterpretations meself, but the originals are neat in their own way.

[thorny totem]

Ah I don’t 3D print the Battletech stuff cuz I actually respect their companies and practices

So I actually buy their stars and lances

[opal egret]

For the record

Mine were given to me for free by someone else

They were printing their own full lance, so they printed me a lance too

[thorny totem]

Nice

[frigid whale]

What do you think of this fanfic lore regarding the machine spirit-eldar interaction? The Fanfic is called "The Tale of Thomas Locke"

Nevertheless, the mon'keigh machine priests were right on one thing: human technology was certainly alive, proven by the rudimentary spirits that dwelt within their machines. This was not an odd thing of course, living beings tended to bestow life upon their creations whether they realised it or not. In her travels, Aristriel had only come across one race whose technology was utterly soulless, an experience she would never wish to repeat.

Aristriel stretched out her mind into the aether, sensing the spirits that resided within the machinery encircling her. Drawn to the echoes of their scattered thoughts, she soon located the primary terminal. The banshee placed her hands on the sides of the monitor, closed her eyes and concentrated.

Several minutes passed by without success. Scrunching her face in frustration, she pushed her mind deeper into the pulsing matrix in her search for the elusive machine's soul.

There! It was so quiet that she almost missed it. After a few moments she perceived the deep scratchy and frantic voice of the machine spirit.

"Type_Message! Send_Message! Type_Message! Send_Message!" The impatient machine demanded, directing it as concepts and images directly into her mind. Aristriel frowned at the apparition's self-indulgent insistence, not that she was expecting anything different.

Over the decades, the banshee had heard recurring opinions regarding the inferior mon'keigh technology from her brethren. It had been explained to her that eldar and human technology was like night and day... and she was beginning to understand why.

Eldar contraptions could be likened to faithful and competent servants, who gladly obeyed their masters every whim - provided it was in their ability to do so. Human machine spirits were more like unruly hyperactive children, who demanded constant attention before they would act and even that was not a certainty.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12817893/14/The-Tale-of-Tomas-Locke

The whole chapter is interesting with a lot of lore stuff

Thus far, everything was lining up to what she had learned during her studies of the Imperium. The human empire relied upon a huge communications network in order to remain functional. This base was just the start of a single strand in the process; an insignificant node in a gargantuan system that stretched across the entire galaxy.

Normally, a message would be beamed from this facility to the satellite stuck in geosynchronous orbit, where it would then be relayed on to the capital of the star system. From there, psykers, known in the human tongue as 'astropaths', would transmit the message beyond the bounds of the star systems to its intended destination.

What was most fascinating about this method of communication, was that these psykers would regularly plunge their minds deep into the aether to psychically commune with their brethren. Who, depending on their age and skill-level, could well be on the other side of the galaxy, separated by tens of thousands of light years.

When Aristriel had first learned of this reality, she could not believe that humanity relied so heavily on such an unreliable system. The danger from doing such a thing on a regular basis would be unthinkable for any eldar to ever contemplate.

Either they are brave beyond compare or so ignorant they might as well be blind.

It was that very network that she intended to use for her own ends. It was no secret that many intelligent species and factions, who were antagonistic towards the Imperium, frequently tried to eavesdrop on these telepathic conversations.

Of course, the imperials were not oblivious to these intrusions and actively took measures to prohibit these prying activities. Unbeknownst to many of the galaxy's denizens, a psychic war, subtle by its very nature, raged between the imperial astropaths with their encryptions and the hostile code breakers.

Chief amongst these cryptographers were the eldar seers of the craftworlds, who used their superior warp craft to listen in on vital imperial transmissions on a semi-regular basis. This is what Aristriel was counting on. If she could send a coded message beyond the confines of whatever star system she was in, there was a very real chance that her message would be intercepted by her fellow eldar.

Although, spies were not interested in the mundane, they craved key intelligence. With that in mind, her outgoing dispatch would require a high level of encryption to bait any would be observers into deciphering it.

The plan was not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, far from it, that much was clear to Aristriel. There was a real danger that another poorly aligned faction or group might observe the telepathic correspondence and use that information to chase after the Omnicron too. Eldar from other craftworlds were also to be mistrusted, too many times had Alaitoc's rivals been privy to information that they had gone on to use for their own ends.

Even so, the old oaths between craftworlds still stood. On matters of great importance, the greatest of the aeldari void-bound city-states were obliged to cooperate with one another. All she could do was hope that any rival craftworld that deciphered her message, would pass it along to her kin. In the end though, the forces of Alaitoc needed to know the location of the Omnicron and this was the only way she saw that that might be achieved.

What do you think? How canon is all of this?

[dusk hill]

that's a lot of text

[frigid whale]

sorry

it doesn't have too much heavy stuff in it

hard to read I mean

[vivid rune]

One torch almost down

Tried to do a burnt metal effect without fucking taping and airbrushing and what not

[compact umbra]

My step dad is trying to get into warhammer, who should I recommend?

Actually I should first pick up the killteams starter box before attempting to go head first into the game

[vivid rune]

They play very different @compact umbra

[compact umbra]

Yeah I know

But I don’t want him to end up buying a 100 dollar box at first

Plus I’ve only played killteams and my army is no where near done

[vivid rune]

If he wants to play traditional tabletop, he just needs to pick a faction he thinks looks cool, get their combat patrol box, and their rulebook and hes good to go

Core rules are free online

Thatll set him abou 150 bucks back but hes got 500 points of models

[compact umbra]

True true

It would also be fun if we both try AOS since I don’t even own a model (besides my box of hellstriders I have gutted for bits)

We could learn how to play that

[vivid rune]

AoS is actually easier to play IMO i love it alot

[elfin yew]

AoS is probably cheaper as well

Depending on what army you play

On average though, I'd say it is

[compact umbra]

I’ve been looking at the ocean mofos and beastmen tbh

Also I could just get Slaanesh demons

[elfin yew]

Fury of the Deep actually seems like Value

if you want Idoneth

[vivid rune]

Start with the idoneth and wait for the beastmen

Theyre going to get a badly needed update hopefully aoon

[compact umbra]

I barely know anything about age of Sigmar so I gotta see first

I’m looking at idoneth
Dwarves✨
Or maybe a Calvary based army

I fucking love Calvary

[elfin yew]

Yee IDK are a big cav alpha strike army

You can pretty much run all cav

I believe their akhelian riders are troop choices

One thing fun about AoS is that many times, your troops don't have to be foot infantry

so you can run themed armies

Ex: Stormcast can now run entirely dragon armies without foot troops if they so wish

[compact umbra]

I really liked that one army from warhammer total, I’ve barely played it but I’ve always liked those guys with the green knight

And the lady of the lake

Same in vermintide

They are totally dead aren’t they?

[elfin yew]

I believe so

I think there was some old fluff that the Lady, or Lileath, had saved some of the greatest knights and kept them in a bastion

but I believe that bastion was raided by Slaanesh and their current whereabouts are unknown(?)

@vivid rune would know I think, considering she plays Hedonites

[compact umbra]

I would also play Hedonites

I fucking love Slaanesh armies

And it would give me more bits for my emperor’s children

NIGH HAUNTS I love those ghosts

Literally my favorite Gw models are from the night haunts

And lizards

Damn I need to think about this long and hard

[vivid rune]

Eel cavalry is very very strong in idoneth

[vivid rune]

They are worse than dead rn

[compact umbra]

:( Damn

[vivid rune]

I would advice against hedonites for new players, they are really unfun and hard to play

[compact umbra]

Ahh okay

[vivid rune]

Theyre all ghouls now

[elfin yew]

I don't think it was ever confirmed that FEC were actually bretonnians

[vivid rune]

Its heavily implied they are

[elfin yew]

Couldn't they have just been nobility from the realms

[vivid rune]

The carrion king and the red duke are basivally the same dude

We know the Carrion king is a character from the old world

He was made a mortarch by nagash long ago after he raised all the old world vamps back

[elfin yew]

oh

he's ushoran

[vivid rune]

Who?

[elfin yew]

According to his wiki page atleast?

[compact umbra]

Bone revers look like they have alot of cavalry, are they any cool?

[elfin yew]

https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Ushoran

*During the Age of Myth, the first abhorrant roamed the Mortal Realms as a powerful vampire. He was a favoured servant of Nagash, the god of death, and at that time he was fair and strong. His court of knights and nobles rode resplendent as glorious children of the night. He was known by many names in many lands; Sumeros Summerking, the Blood Rose Prince and Ushoran the Handsome to name but a few. *

[vivid rune]

Ah okay

[vivid rune]

Oh yea they are

Honestly, every army us really fucking cool in AoS

[compact umbra]

I love how the night haunts and revers don’t have the edgy death aesthetic but instead a kinds of sorrow graveyard look

[elfin yew]

fyreslayers diaper men still exist

[vivid rune]

LMAO

Man they need a new troop choice

[elfin yew]

Fyreslayers legit are the most unappealing army in any setting visually imo

legit just diaper dwrafs

their big models look goodo but their troops

god.

[compact umbra]

People play nurgle so

[vivid rune]

I think theyre neat i just wish there was more than 12 models

[elfin yew]

Nurgle looks interesting tho

[compact umbra]

Fair

[elfin yew]

I think Fyreslayers were hit hardest by the breaking up of old fantasy models into new armies

[vivid rune]

Their model range is tiny

They got nothing

[compact umbra]

How exactly do bone reavers play? They look very elite and named character focused

[vivid rune]

Theyre completely nee sculpt wiae

[vivid rune]

You got it

[compact umbra]

Lmao

[elfin yew]

Oh I know, I just meant in terms of aesthetics

[vivid rune]

Right on the nose there

[elfin yew]

since fyreslayers are just

slayers

[vivid rune]

Yea

[elfin yew]

OBR also have likely the best named character model in the game with Katakros the Gigachad

[vivid rune]

@compact umbra theyre also slow but indanely durable

Theyre a slow moving phalanx essentially

[compact umbra]

What about night haunts? They seem kinda jack of all trade ish

[vivid rune]

Kinda like undead custodies if you will

They are fucking weird and painful to play

Their entire army flies

Ignores AP

[compact umbra]

Just like emperors children!

[vivid rune]

And most units can deepstrike

They have a 4+ save PERIOD

It cant be brought up or down through AP or buffs

[compact umbra]

So, if you just spam a fast unit

[vivid rune]

Problem is most models have MEH profiles

And need characters to buff them eith their auras

[compact umbra]

Ahhh

[vivid rune]

Problem is

Their charcters are like

5 to 8 wounds

And can be sniped

They legit have the most potent magical lore but you never see it because their casters get killed in turn 1

[compact umbra]

Ahhhhh so fucking glass

Character dependent

And very luck dependent?

[vivid rune]

Yeaaa

Im really hyped for their new codex

[elfin yew]

5-8w god

[compact umbra]

There is a solid chance of never fucking dying or losing your entire army in 2 turns

[elfin yew]

that's

alot of wounds for a character but my frame of reference is 40k

SDFUHNDS

Most of my characters have 4w

[compact umbra]

THEIR MODELS ARE SOOO COOOOLLLLL THOOOOO

Like AHHHHH

Literally sss tier models they don’t have a model I don’t like

Tomb banshee is trash actually

But still

[vivid rune]

I mean, theyre getting an update soon

[compact umbra]

True

[elfin yew]

Maybe I'm insane but

a 5-8w character with a 4++ doesn't sound very squishy

[vivid rune]

And their models are fairly cheap to get since they were the big bad of AoS 2

[elfin yew]

Oh wait hang on

Look out sir is just a -1 to hit in AoS isn't it

[vivid rune]

Yes

Yes it is

You can spam ranged attacks and theyll die really fucking fast

[compact umbra]

Also, does anyone ever play the flesh eater court?

[elfin yew]

Yee I forgot that AoS' Look Out! isn't reliable

[compact umbra]

I’ve never seen a single one of their models ever

[vivid rune]

Also nighthaunt, until very recently, dont have any ahooting units

[vivid rune]

I REALLLLY WANT TO

theyre super easy to get into

[elfin yew]

Their models are p much just all old ghouls aren't they

and vargheists and such

[vivid rune]

You just buy their start collecting box

Over and over again

Yea pretty much

[compact umbra]

Just like GSC!

[elfin yew]

P much, well, until recently

[vivid rune]

Crypt thralls, crypt ghouls, vargheists

Even has the big bat boy in the box

Or it can be a zombie dragon

Literally every kit in the box has 2 to 3 options

[compact umbra]

What’s the night haunts lore anyhow?

Are they just

‘Fuck being dead’

[elfin yew]

Nagash tried to kill everyone, the ritual got fucked over by some rats but it raised a assload of ghosts everywhere

They were then consolidated under a actual leader, Lady Olynder, who made a deal with nagash

And she became a mortarch

[compact umbra]

Ah

[elfin yew]

The Necroquake

It was like, one of the main plot points of 2e

[compact umbra]

Are bonereapers similar I assume

[elfin yew]

Bonereapers are handcrafted by Nagash, his secret project

They are his vision of the ideal undead society

They're kinda like bonestodes

Or bonecasts

[compact umbra]

Natasha is god of death right?

[elfin yew]

Yee he is

[compact umbra]

Is he hot is the question tho

[elfin yew]

When he had skin, yes

now:

also yes

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammerfb/images/2/2d/Warhammer_Human_Nagash.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170422040305

https://aosshorts.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Malign-Portents-Poster-The-warrior.jpg

[compact umbra]

DAMNNN

[elfin yew]

He's also a really gorgeous model

[compact umbra]

OH SHIT THESE ARE THE TOMB LORDS

[elfin yew]

Yee Nagash was Nehekharan

Tho he was the one who doomed the rest to be tomb kings

[crisp forge]

Even in the cosmic future egyptians got the superior drip

[compact umbra]

Okay so

Nagash wants to make an undead paradise?

and is basically the emperor of the undead?

[elfin yew]

Paradise for him maybe yes

P much

[compact umbra]

Pog

Anything times undead is immediately cooler

[elfin yew]

Though right now he's a bit dead so Undead as a whole is kind of leaderless

Arkhan is Deaders too so Katakros is the only responsible mortarch left

And he's busy whacking archaon and the eight points

[compact umbra]

Question, why do the bone reavers have a weird like, semi bug style look

Like a carapace sometimes

[elfin yew]

The aren't just the skeletons of dead things, but are rather handcrafted out of many different skelebones

So they are built for war

[compact umbra]

Ahhh

[elfin yew]

If you see the big guy with the like

skeleton backpack

his entire job is to pickup bones from the battlefield

The OBR aren't even always hostile to living people

They'll p much go to townships and stuff and enforce a bone tithe

which is like a bone tax

[compact umbra]

Nice

[elfin yew]

They must fulfill this tax or the reapers will take it in another way

Infact now that I think about this, the OBR are just skeletal bureuacrats

the bone IRS if you will

[compact umbra]

I like comstar so that’s sounding up My ally

What do they tax for anyway?

Like money?

Or bones?

[elfin yew]

Bones

Animal bones, anything

How strict they are on this depends on the OBR in charge

[compact umbra]

Ah nice

Also, how do sub factions work in AOS, like there different SM chapters, or different regiments

[elfin yew]

Yee there are for rules and such

[compact umbra]

Are they all kinda in the same boat

Like all night haunts are on the same page

[elfin yew]

I would say they aren't as significant as 40k's subfactions tho

OBR has different legions for example

[compact umbra]

Ahhh okay okay

WHY DOES THE MORTEK CRAWLER LOOK SO FUCKING WEIRD

AHAHAHHAHAH

[crisp forge]

IT HAS TINY LEGS

I NEVER SAW THAT BEFORE

[compact umbra]

CENTIPEDE MOFO

HORSE HOOVES ABAHSHAHAHHA

[crisp forge]

cant wait to see that in Total War in like 20 years

[elfin yew]

dont think you've had a bad day until you've been the codpiece for a harvester

[compact umbra]

I’m stuck between them and the nighthaunts now

I’m in love with the bones

I think I love the bone tax too much

did you see the model that's just their tax collection pile

[compact umbra]

YES

ITS BEAUTIFUL

[compact umbra]

Why the fuck do the night haunts do anything?

I feel like they would just vibe

Being dead an all

[elfin yew]

They did originally

[compact umbra]

Like bonereavers need more bones for bonereavers

And bone society

[elfin yew]

But then they were organixed by Olynder and Nagadh to be useful

There are still random ghosts that float around and spookaloo ppl

[compact umbra]

The night haunts remind me of that one ride in Disney land

WHAT A PRETRY FUCKINH MODEL

WHY ARE THEIR MODELS SO UNGODLY GOOD

*also ghost tits

[elfin yew]

One thing to know about Undeath as a faction is that

[compact umbra]

Undeath?

[elfin yew]

The OBR are pretty much the only ones Nagash is proud of and are the only ones with good organization

Undeath ala all the factions of Nagash and undrad

Undead*

[compact umbra]

Ah okay

[elfin yew]

Flesheater courts, OBR, Soulblight, and Nighthaunt

The factions in AoS are subdivided into 4, Order, Chaos, Undead, and Destruction

[compact umbra]

Oh I though the vampires were slapped there for being vampires

[elfin yew]

Yee soulblight are vampires

[compact umbra]

Also shot in the dark

The vampires are vampires

So they are politicians,

And they are huge diplomatic jackasses?

[elfin yew]

Nagash mostly sees them as helpful pests at besy

[crisp forge]

Yeah Vamps have fallen from grace since WHF in AOS

[elfin yew]

They have a tendency to get uppity, ambitious, and traitorous

Ex) Mannfred

[crisp forge]

🧑‍🦲

[compact umbra]

Drukhari

Gotchu

[elfin yew]

Its because Vampires were a mistake and Nagash would abort them if he could

[compact umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-disappointed-fan-seriously-what-are-you-doing-judging-you-gif-17485289

[elfin yew]

Legit a failure of his process for true undeath that stuck around from WHF

[compact umbra]

Nagash 90% of the time

[elfin yew]

Basically

FHSBD

If Nagash 'won' in aos his first order of business would be liquifying the vampires and using their bones to make more Ossiarchs

[compact umbra]

Lmao

Wow! Slaves to darkness look like the most fucking boring faction in existence!

They are just- black knights

Mainly chaos black knights

[elfin yew]

Yeah its chaos undivided p much

I like them but jsut because of Archaon

Hes still my favorite chaos character of any setting

[compact umbra]

god the CSM book still makes me sick.

[elfin yew]

Also his model is cool

[compact umbra]

Can’t wait to not be able to play the game!

With this book!

‘Wow! Only 2 stat blocks in thsi entire book are up to date?’

[elfin yew]

?

[compact umbra]

CSMs codex

Is so fucling sad

In order to actually play CSMs to the fullest you need to have 7+ books

[elfin yew]

Well yeah, most 8e ones are but its p likely to update soon

[compact umbra]

One of them BEING FUCKING BLACK STONE FORTRESS

AND THAT HAS THE UPDATES CHAOS LORD AND CULTISTS

Okay okay imma chill

How do you start collecting OBR anyhow?

[elfin yew]

Actually Im not sure

May want to look at their goonhammer article

Assuming there is one

[compact umbra]

Oh yeah, I used goon hammer for my EC army

[elfin yew]

Love the art on the article

[compact umbra]

I don’t have any of he suggest models but

[compact umbra]

YESS

AHHH I SEE

Nighthaunts are buff spamming

That seems, it could be fun

[elfin yew]

All fly is p fun too

Thats why harles are so fun in 40k

For me atleast

Just completely ignoring terrain FeelsGood

[compact umbra]

Lmao yeah

I like noise marines because they ignore all cover

And also basically can spend CP points to get amazing stats

I love the graveyard aesthetic of them both, ORB and NH

Shame there isn’t one that is very insectoid, I love insects

ooo… mmm

Depends which ones are more fun?

OBR are really good in general

But funny ghosts.

[elfin yew]

Im not sure! Ive mostly only played 40k despite my lov of AoS

OBR seem fun tho, ive considered getting them too

Ignore battleshock and special command points slaps

[summer elbow]

Hey guys, I've been working on a challenge using pride month flags as colour palletes.
I've been doing well on the other flags but I've come up short with lesbian.

[compact umbra]

Eldar

[summer elbow]

Any ideas on how I could use these colours tastfully?

[compact umbra]

Eldar always look good in these types of color palettes

[median pumice]

Mmmm. 3D printed Rhino parts....

[compact umbra]

Or drukhari witch cult

But that might not be a good uhh…

Representative model

[dusk hill]

Best way would prolly just be using the top, bottom & middle colours as a trio, not using all of the shades

should work okay

[summer elbow]

Well thats the plan aye.

And sadly my eldar harlaquin is eating another flag. So it's just finding the right place and model to use the colours

[compact umbra]

Actually, that could look super good on a necron

Redish copper metal

Pink/red magenta lights

[summer elbow]

Oh shit... i'm seeing it too.

Thanks!

[compact umbra]

No problem!I suggest using impcat

To see how it would look first

[summer elbow]

Impcat? Thats a new one to me

[compact umbra]

It’s a color scheme testing app

It’s where all my like 2 hours of in-depth color scheme testing goes to die

[summer elbow]

Ahhhh. I'll be sure to give it a try thanks!

[compact umbra]

No problem!

Okay it’s no where near similar

[summer elbow]

Okay this a question that is not obvious to an autistic person like meself but... i imagine using a slaanesh model for the intersex colours will be seen as derogatory.

[compact umbra]

Canonically they do actually have intersexual characters

A lot of Slaanesh marines are intersexual or even transgender

Slaanesh magic✨

My MOP is transgender actually

[summer elbow]

Aye, thats what I thought but humans are difficult to read at times.

[compact umbra]

And she is

‘No where near finish

[summer elbow]

So I felt best to err on the side of cuation.

[compact umbra]

You see some Slaanesh models have a single tit, that is one of Slaanesh gifts that give them ability to have both or switch reproductive organs

I don’t remember what’s it called

[summer elbow]

Omnigendered?

[compact umbra]

No the gift… the actual boon

Uhhh…

Hermaphrodite

That’s the boon

[summer elbow]

Still. A slaanesh unit would be more interesting to paint then a blank marine.

[compact umbra]

Yeah.

But those colors are meh on a demonette

[summer elbow]

No diss on marine players hard painting work mind.

[compact umbra]

Deamonettes don’t look good in many colors actually

[summer elbow]

Thats the fun of the painting challenge though ^^

[compact umbra]

True

Maybe try uhh tzeetch models

Not the horrors

[summer elbow]

Forced to get creative with limited colours

[compact umbra]

But they look good in extremely polar and different colors

As they were design to

[summer elbow]

Aye.

[compact umbra]

Changing

Changling might look good

Purple skin, yellow robe

Or vise versa

[compact umbra]

Oh I got a color scheme for you

Polyamory flag

I hav no clue how you would get it to work, I’m polyamory and I honestly think this is hideous flag

But eh

[dusk hill]

yee that's awful

the colours hurt my eyes

[compact umbra]

Agreed

I don’t even get

What it represents

And the older one is fucking worse

I- I- what

[summer elbow]

Hmm... no this one I think could work with

[dusk hill]

ah yes, polyamory

[compact umbra]

math

[dusk hill]

in which you can have 3.14 partners

[elfin yew]

Piamory

[summer elbow]

It immedietly made me think mordian iron guard.

[compact umbra]

I’ve seen some people push for this one

Which looks like a company logo

But isn’t awful to look at

[summer elbow]

Gods i'll be lucky to have pink paint after this is over X3

[compact umbra]

Mood

Emperors children is just pink and black and pink

And a lot of pink

But pink looks amazing✨ on warhammer models

[summer elbow]

Yeah, though I gotta work with what I got on hand. Some models I get creative while idealy i dont buy any more until this is done

[compact umbra]

Damn

Nighthaunts and OBR are complete opposites honestly.

KHARADONS WHAT THE FUCK UEHAJSBEBBS

FUCKING STEAM PUNK SPACE DWARF CAPITALISTS

RHHEHEBSBS

[crisp forge]

Yes.

[hoary ermine]

[dusky mango]

why is there a meta heart in the middle?

[placid kernel]

Correct, OBR are the unstoppable machine like armies of Nagash that do everything to a strict code of rules, nighthaunts show up in a horde and piss and shit and scream until everyone dies

The OBR are pretty much the perfect army in lore because they focus purely on efficiency. They are also the only undead faction to have proper individuality, yes each cohort works together like clockwork but if their commander gives them an order to say "take out that artillery" they don't need to say how because construct is multiple souls in one so knows the optimal way to do it, so they'll run off and do it without further instruction. They're also the only faction to have a foothold in the eight points thanks to their leader Katakros, who Nagash essentially treats like a mini me because he is like Nagash when he was younger in terms of dedication.

[urban harbor]

OBR?

[placid kernel]

Ossiarch Bone Reapers

They're from AoS

[urban harbor]

[hoary ermine]
