#

preatorians, valhallans, tallarn, mordians and vostroyans all had models and id love to see them return

twilit cliff
#

out of those i'd like to see either tallarn or vostryoan

#

the others seem like you can easily kitbash them out of bits we already have

hasty sorrel
#

valhallans would be a pain to kitbash

#

all the greatcoats Panic

#

oh also

#

steel legion would be neat

twilit cliff
#

idk i just watched pete the wargamers vid

hasty sorrel
#

but maybe a bit too close to krieg in aesthetic

twilit cliff
#

yeah, i do really like steel legion

#

but yeah

#

they also dont look super different

hasty sorrel
#

if they do the full list eventually? gucci

twilit cliff
#

im still sorry i didnt pick up a box of them when we last had the option

#

one of the things i'd really like to see

#

but not very likely

hasty sorrel
#

i got the uh

#

metal valhallans

twilit cliff
#

considering creed and kell are likely dead, i'd like to see some new models that have the same function

#

nice, i dont think i ever got a good look at those

hasty sorrel
#

creed isn't dead unfortunatley

twilit cliff
#

unfortunately lul

hasty sorrel
#

they mcguffin necron pokeballed him

twilit cliff
#

or that yeah

hasty sorrel
#

i like creed, but it would have been so much better if he had just died

twilit cliff
#

god i hope they dont have him escape

#

just let him be dead

hasty sorrel
#

would have added weight to the loss of cadia, instead of it just sorta being nothing

twilit cliff
#

plus what's creed without kell

hasty sorrel
#

na they won't kill him since they can still make money on the name

twilit cliff
#

sad, that's what he is

#

i also heard rumour of a new IG tank, an inbetween model

#

bigger than a leman russ, smaller than a baneblade

#

my favourite guard vehicle is still the chimera, i'd really like a redo of that

hasty sorrel
#

ib4 plastic macharius

twilit cliff
#

perhaps, i'd be fine with that

#

the macharius even looks like an updated version of the leman russ to me

#

dont get me wrong i like the leman russ but if gw really wants to upscale 40k and be more detailed

hasty sorrel
#

macharius is a little different, its very much a ww1 tank

#

where the russ is a blend of ww1 and ww2

twilit cliff
#

it's a way more handsome tank

hasty sorrel
#

love all the IG vehicles

twilit cliff
#

i want something like the m3 lee

hasty sorrel
#

thats just the chimera lul

twilit cliff
#

i know we have sponsons and shit and the baneblade has the second gun

#

but i really dig that sneaky side turret

hasty sorrel
#

fair

twilit cliff
#

really beefs the tank out

hasty sorrel
#

maybe we'll see that

#

honestly no idea what the plan is

twilit cliff
#

ofc

hasty sorrel
#

would be cool for it to have like, some fluff reason kinda like the tau response to titans

twilit cliff
#

i'm just really hype to finally see something that's (probably) guard related

#

and not dkok

#

i probably would have liked dkok more if everyone wasnt either hyping them up or shitting their pants over them

hasty sorrel
#

i like the models

#

fanbase is just garbo

twilit cliff
#

yeah theyre good

#

but if people could just shut up about the

#

i like that theyre new models are more expressive than other guard models we have

hasty sorrel
#

yeah

twilit cliff
#

but i hope the new stuff doesnt make the old stuff look out of place

hasty sorrel
#

Actually going back to vehicles a second

#

would be cool to get like

#

a cluster of vehicles on a new chassis

#

like the crassus, which i think is on the macharius hull?

#

its a transport

twilit cliff
#

you might be right

hasty sorrel
#

and there is also an artillery version

twilit cliff
#

that looks sick indeed

twilit cliff
#

i'd be happy

#

or maybe just not fw expensive

hasty sorrel
#

ye

#

like

#

either a new full on tank with a bunch of weapon choices

twilit cliff
#

i dont know how feasible that is though

hasty sorrel
#

or a new vehicle that has different hull uses, like a transport, an artillery and a tank destroyer gun setup

twilit cliff
#

a modular hull

hasty sorrel
#

the baneblade is a modular hull

twilit cliff
#

also i fear that's going to make a lot of vehicles look samey

#

yeah that's true

#

but not to the drgree that you could turn the baneblade into a designated troop transport

#

... or can you?

hasty sorrel
#

you can

#

StormLord

twilit cliff
#

what

twilit cliff
#

hoo shit yeah

rocky badge
#

oooh daddy those tanks

twilit cliff
#

i completely forgot about that

#

mostly bc i told myself i'd probably never buy a baneblade

#

pricy

hasty sorrel
#

honestly? if you can get one its worth it

twilit cliff
#

one day maybe

#

but i'd want to have a solid idea what to do with it first

hasty sorrel
#

they are actually massive, and if you can do the right magnet setup you can swap between the different central bits

twilit cliff
#

in terms of kitbashing etc.

#

and yeah i'd need a solid plan for the magnets

#

and more experience with magnets

#

which ive been putting off for months

hasty sorrel
#

haha

#

personally ive just done the shadowsword

#

and i plan to buy a 2nd baneblade to do magnet magic with

twilit cliff
#

is this the plastic shadowsword?

hasty sorrel
#

yes

#

its my fav varient, designed to kill titans

twilit cliff
#

that's beautiful isnt it

#

the ones that really catch my eye are either that stormlord bc ive got a soft spot for troop transports

#

or the one with the uhhh

hasty sorrel
#

my wip tonks

twilit cliff
#

for a second i thought you had a diorama

hasty sorrel
#

haha i wish

twilit cliff
#

but that' sjust your floor and background lul

#

nice paintjob

hasty sorrel
#

thanks

twilit cliff
#

the tankthreads especially

hasty sorrel
#

wanted to do something a little different

twilit cliff
#

what planetary governor/madman paid for those

hasty sorrel
#

haha

twilit cliff
#

i experimented with a similar colourscheme

#

dark blue, black and red accents

#

but i couldnt get the red right

hasty sorrel
#

my scheme is kinda cheating because i'm using warplock bronze

#

which is just, the best fucking paint GW do

twilit cliff
#

on the uhh

#

on what parts?

edgy cipher
#

I just noticed

#

The tankthreads on a baneblade look like the aquilla

hasty sorrel
#

ye its great lmao

twilit cliff
#

yeah theyre sick

#

i bet most people would just paint over them

urban harbor
hasty sorrel
# twilit cliff on what parts?

all of the dark brown metals (the tracks, the barrel, the flak armour on my guard)

The tracks are Warplock, with runelord brass or sycorax bronze for the highlighted gold looking sections

twilit cliff
#

oh yeah i see now

#

looks like it's got good coverage

hasty sorrel
twilit cliff
#

fuck

hasty sorrel
#

it doesn't take that long to paint honestly

#

its mostly me making decisions for what details should be painted what

twilit cliff
#

yeah

urban harbor
#

these things are studio quality

twilit cliff
#

i just put the model on my desk and look at it occassionally until i make decisions

hasty sorrel
twilit cliff
#

then look at it for a few more weeks

#

usually the ideal choice will stick out

#

it's so good

hasty sorrel
#

thanks guys means a lot

#

been putting off working on it cause i got stressed with my paitning lul

twilit cliff
#

yup

hasty sorrel
#

last bit i was working on was wearhering effects

edgy cipher
#

How's the rivet painting going Skelly

hasty sorrel
#

i haven't touched it in uuuuh

#

a year

edgy cipher
#

I know, that's why I asked

hasty sorrel
#

ye.....

#

i need to

#

but big depresso

twilit cliff
#

i told myself i wasnt going to bother with weathering

#

but this looks tight

hasty sorrel
#

i wouldn't usually

#

but this baneblade is like, my centerpiece

urban harbor
hasty sorrel
#

it deserves everything i can possibly do for it so it can look as good as i can manage

edgy cipher
#

My weathering is terrible, I don't see the point of ruining an ok mini, when I do it

hasty sorrel
#

my weathering isn't even that great, its just nuln oil lmao

edgy cipher
hasty sorrel
#

i already did, i'm just going back over and adding like

#

water effects?

#

oh it also gets worse

#

someone just bought me a wraithknight

twilit cliff
#

ofc it does

hasty sorrel
#

my work is never done

edgy cipher
#

I mean I still need to mail you that baneblade

hasty sorrel
#

....mostly because i don't do it

#

zherlum i swear to god

edgy cipher
#

Funny how mailing something to the UK is literally more expensive than the baneblade itself

twilit cliff
#

ah yes

#

the united lingdom

hasty sorrel
#

i will ban you from my next 40k campaign

#

don't you dare

edgy cipher
#

It's a baneblade campaign

#

You really didn't expect me to NOT buy you one ?

hasty sorrel
#

aight fuck it

#

imma get back to painting

#

right now

twilit cliff
#

have fun

hasty sorrel
#

i'll try

#

gotta finish painting the remainder of my default guard

#

and finalize my scheme for the kriegers

#

my kriegers look like they are wearing denim 😩

Any terrain enjoyers?

hoary ermine

Delectable scrap me boi

serene blade

edgy cipher
#

Ah, the KT terrain I pressume ?

serene blade
#

Agrax/Nuln feels like cheating sometimes

serene blade
#

Finally getting around to painting these bad boys

compact umbra
#

How do harlequins play like anyway?

#

I never see anyone play them

feral ingot
#

small and random?

#

all the good things of dark eldar with all the psyker dakka you could need

#

yes dark eldar I know what I said

#

literally zipline through the table and just dakka with your noggin

#

and then run out because lul HUEHUE

#

and then watch the guy seethe his neckbeard out because he either has to use his measly s2 to shoot or chase after you

Small friend with da bonding knife

civic mica
storm lark
#

lots of detail, nery nice

civic mica
#

Going to add more as they are night lords so I intend to put some lightning on the armor plating as well

storm lark
#

never painted before so i need to know what paints are good to use and how to use them

civic mica
#

I use citadel paints personally though valejo is also a good option if not better

#

I would avoid using army painter stuff though as I have had nothing but bad experiences with it

storm lark
#

well i hear alot of contrast/shade/base paints i dont know what those are

civic mica
#

They are labeled and color coded

#

Blue is layer paint

#

Red is base paint

#

Shades are green and contrast is labeled contrast above the color

storm lark
#

maybe once I figure it out ill make a chart for other new people who don't know

feral ingot
#

Lots of helpful tutorials on youtube 😄

#

It'll make it all clear

civic mica
feral ingot
#

^

#

Shade, Dry, base, layer, etc

storm lark
#

dry whats that a texture paint?

civic mica
#

Think of it like blush makeup

#

You get some and work it into the bristles and gently brush it over the model to bring out details

#

That paint is made specially for drybrushing but make no mistake you can drybrush with about any paint just do it with a brush that's already seen a lot as it will destroy the brush pretty quickly

storm lark
#

😳

#

I didn’t know that since I only own 1 brush

civic mica
#

The have like 4 dollar brush kits at most stores like Wal Mart

#

They work great so don't be tricked into buying GWs overpriced brushes

storm lark
#

Yeah I think it’ll be like two weeks once I start painting

#

There’s a few paints I need that I don’t have

civic mica
#

what sort of models are you painting?

vivid rune
#

Fuck i almost own every GW paint at this point

storm lark
civic mica
#

Tau are pretty sick good luck on your painting endeavors

storm lark

“For the greater good”

#

ordered a red grass games wet palette xl back in December 17 its already march and still havent gotten it. I am convinced the mail service here is run by trolls or something. At this point its a race between darktide and my palette coming 😆

spark jungle
vivid rune
#

Hes raffling his custom chapter?

placid kernel
#

at least part of it yeah

vivid rune
#

Why do people who go all in and serious with custom chapters always pick the worst fucking color schemes lol

placid kernel
#

I dig the bronze, all the silver is way too monotonous for my liking

vivid rune
#

Yea

#

It doesnt look great together imo

placid kernel
#

that youtube guys uhhh space bears seemed unique but thats because of all the additional stuff, not really the paint scheme

vivid rune
#

In more of the problem that like...wargamers arent actual artists

#

In the sense that they never went to art classes

#

So they dont know things like color theory very well

placid kernel
#

I love seeing people throw colour theory straight out the window

#

ah beat me to it

vivid rune
#

LMAO

placid kernel
#

just picking colours that completely go against each other

#

always a treat

twilit cliff
#

this is far from the worst isnt it

vivid rune
#

Yea

#

Its just weird how the color schemes ive seen always tend to be bad from the people who go hard in the custom chapter stuff

twilit cliff
#

ah

#

ehh people do what they like, they bought it

vivid rune
#

Yea

#

The astartes short film chapter colors are nice

#

Theyre crisp and simple

#

And that dude i assume takes his custom chapter very seriously since he made a fuckign short film about them lol

twilit cliff
#

yeah he did a bunch of art too iirc

#

tbf it wasnt my favourite, i do have a soft spot for those old timey wild colour schemes

#

one thing i'll never get over is how much the white scars logo makes them look like 90's power rangers

#

i love it

vivid rune
#

Lmao

dusk hill
twilit cliff
#

its not called colour practice

#

stupid joke

vivid rune
#

Most of the time its because they try to do too much with it

#

To make it more unique

dusk hill
#

I've still got some old tau models from two years ago painted almost entirely in shades of grey, i don't regret a second of it

vivid rune
#

Ooo

twilit cliff
#

did you prime them and forgot to paint them after?

vivid rune
#

That sounds nice

dusk hill
#

I think if I revamp that scheme eventually I might incorporate red or something?

#

Like half red half darkish grey

vivid rune
#

Red highlights would be nice

#

Its simple and striking

dusk hill
#

i'm unsure, ima think it over a lot more thoroughly beforehand than i did initially painting them ftser

dusk hill
#

i initially tried to paint them white which went as expected for a new painter who didn't understand how to build up shades

vivid rune
#

Note to self: read how to make fried rice before teying to make it

dusk hill
#

it works quite well as a scheme i think. Light grey for armour, dark grey for fabric, red in highlights

#

ima think it over, i lowkey kinda like the continuity with my older painted stuff

vivid rune
#

Im using overnight cold rice

dusk hill
#

Fried rice is one of my fav foods, are u struggling with making it?

vivid rune
#

I got hot veggie oil

#

Its not "frying" it seems

dusk hill
#

are you- just trying to actually fry the rice?

vivid rune
#

I got egg set aside

vivid rune
twilit cliff
#

i dont think uhh

dusk hill
#

Yeah so, the rice goes in last. It's not gonna fry, it'll just soak up oil & heat up basically

vivid rune
#

FUCCCCK

twilit cliff
#

do people really fry rice?

dusk hill
#

You fry stuff like the egg & vegetables first, & then you put in the rice last, mix it together, & heat it until it's piping

vivid rune
#

eggs in

dusk hill
#

nods there's only so wrong you can go with it

rocky badge
#

people are confused that fried rice exists?

#

lol what

twilit cliff
#

call me a no good peasant whose tastebuds have burned off long ago but

rocky badge
#

isnt it one of the most common dishes in the world

twilit cliff
#

if i want my food to smell like a chinese restaurant i just add a bunch of terayaki sauce

vivid rune
#

Bruh lol

twilit cliff
#

sorry when people say fry i think of deep freying

rocky badge
#

its normally in a wok or large pan

twilit cliff
#

yeah language barrier

vivid rune
#

Yay!!!

dusk hill
#

My general way of doing it is just

  1. Seasoned oil in pan, medium heat
  2. Fry vegetables until cooked in order, so stuff like peas cook v quickly, onion will take a while
  3. Make a hole in the cooked vegetables & yeet in some eggs, beat them into the vegetable mixture until solidly fried
  4. Put in old rice & soy sauce, mix all together, taste regularly while adding more soy/other seasonings (ik asian friends mock me for this but soy sauce can get really overwhelming if there's too much)
  5. Once it's seasoned & mixed properly, just keep it on the stove until it's steaming hot
#

You can also add in fancier sauces and stuff, they all add to it immensely, but imo soy is the only essential one & finding fancier stuff can be difficult if ur in white hellscape

#

Also one other thing, i can't do it on electric stoves for some reason. I don't know why, it just comes out pallid and weird

vivid rune
#

Added some soy and hoisen

dusk hill
rocky badge
#

i think hoisin sauce is made from soy sauce

dusk hill
#

I also like to add a lil butter if i have any, can help make it a lil richer & goes well with the egg

dusk hill
twilit cliff
#

i regret having ditched most of my food pics

#

cute lil chili

rocky badge
#

oo im not a fan of quinoa

twilit cliff
#

yeah me neither, but it's what i had at the time

#

i dont like the texture much

rocky badge
#

thats basically it

#

the hard casings and the overly soft grains

#

cous cous and rice are better

twilit cliff
#

cajun salmon with mango avocado salsa

vivid rune
#

Quinoa is really good, its just alot harder to cook properly

vivid rune
twilit cliff
#

yeah that one's my favourite recipe

#

whenever i want to surprise somebody i make that salmon

rocky badge
#

flavoured salmon is super underrated

#

so many people eat salmon boring

twilit cliff
#

i like the taste of salmon either way

#

but the spices can really make it taste special

#

if i accidentally find more pics of food ill post but i doubt it

dusk hill
#

Just gotta make sure you're seasoning it enough & ur crisping it up nicely

rocky badge
#

it doesnt need that much but it becomes amazing if you add shit

dusk hill
#

what do you use?

#

It's so expensive i fear experimenting with it

vivid rune
#

I love pickling, smoking, or curing salmon

#

It just brings out its flavor even more

#

Holy shit its so good

twilit cliff
#

salt, pepper, paprika, ceyenne, brown sugar, thyme

twilit cliff
dusk hill
#

hot smoked salmon is delicious

twilit cliff
#

my second favourite fish is cod

#

but i eat that as is prepared with salt and pepper

#

bc i dont know how to do anything spicy with cod

dusk hill
#

I remember cod being really bland

twilit cliff
#

i wouldnt say bland

#

less pronounced

hoary ermine
#

Cod is... base staple gun game

dusk hill
#

yee, i suck with white fish in general

#

one day i'll learn how to cook it in a way in which it doesn't taste like oxygen

hoary ermine
#

: )

#

Fish is hard

twilit cliff
#

cod, mash potato with nutmeg

hasty sorrel
#

its only popular because it used to be common and cheap and is a mild seafood

#

its like the mild cheddar of fish

twilit cliff
#

that sounds correct

dusk hill
#

I've yet to get good with any none oily fish

#

trout, herring, salmon, all of that I can do very well

#

just highkey not anything lean

hasty sorrel
#

smocked haddok where its at

twilit cliff
#

smocked you say

hasty sorrel
#

mmm

#

smoked fish is gucci

crisp forge
#

the fleur is like the least fascist symbol from 40k/IRL, the only weird reactions you'd get are if you were probably in france. Otherwise the fleur is everywhere as a sigil/symbol.

#

A house I just walked by has it at the tip of their fence posts

rain void
#

I vaguely remember that exact argument brought up on this server

crisp forge
#

Yeah im getting a deja vu too

rain void
#

ie: someone arguing that the fleur is just as or more fascist than the usual fash iconography

crisp forge
#

Oh god that one

#

I mean it isn't though is it? Its just a sign of royalty from what I remember.

rain void
#

not in any strict sense

crisp forge
#

I forgot its religious meanings ngl

rocky badge
#

It's mostly related to french monarchy, but not exclusively

crisp forge
#

Yeee that

rain void
#

unless you just mean fash as anything all authoritarian

rocky badge
#

And also used to represent french catholic saints

crisp forge
#

Yeee its probably why 40k used it

rocky badge
#

Normally virgin mary and saint joseph apparently

rain void
#

vaguely secular symbol that can get repurposed as a religious icon

crisp forge
#

Yeee

rocky badge
#

"Some modern usage of the fleur-de-lis reflects "the continuing presence of heraldry in everyday life", often intentionally, but also when users are not aware that they are "prolonging the life of centuries-old insignia and emblems"

crisp forge
#

Lmao

rocky badge
#

lol

crisp forge
#

yeah that last part

rocky badge
#

Thanks wikipedia

#

For that amazing commentary

crisp forge
#

most people just see the fleur as a "oh hey, neat symbol"

rocky badge
#

Nooo not the centuries old emblems nooo

#

It's also used as the symbol for loads of sports teams

rain void
#

dont mind me Im just using a double headed eagle without being aware of any centuries old european history

crisp forge
#

LOL

#

Yeah the aquila is incredibly fascist

#

its why its the dumbest tattoo you'd have to get

green cave
#

I like the roman aquila

rocky badge
#

Fleur de lis is also the main symbol of the Scouts

crisp forge
#

roman one is better yeah

#

since its more natural

green cave
#

But i love a lot of roman stuff lol

crisp forge
#

the Imperium's one is made to evoke fascist imagery more

hasty sorrel
#

i think here in the UK its used by the scouts?

rocky badge
#

I said that

#

Just a sec ago

crisp forge
#

Death.

rain void
#

if US youd just as likely get picked out as a big saints fan

brisk vapor
#

I think I've seen toilet paper with the fleur icons printed on it

crisp forge
#

Lmao yeah see what I mean

#

its literally everywhere

#

most people dont even care about what it means usually either

green cave
#

It was also used by some italian small nation during renaissance iirc

rocky badge
#

It's just a flower lol

crisp forge
#

Based.

hasty sorrel
#

also if its that big a worry just

#

don't get it somwhere people can see it

#

unless you are planning to get it on the face like SoB, its prob not an issue

crisp forge
#

Yeah it would just get the usual "Huh what is that? Oh looks neat." before they look away.

edgy cipher
#

I managed to avoid the only conv where I could have had a positive input, oh well

crisp forge
#

😔

edgy cipher
#

But to counter the comment someone made, people in France would moreso judge from having your cheek tatooted than having a tatoo of the Fleur-de-lys

#

It's has pretty much been reclaimed from its monarchy heraldry ancestry to become just a french emblem

vivid rune
#

i think ill get some temp tat transfers of them

edgy cipher
#

Or get full on tats you coward

#

Show em how much ya care

#

But yeah temp are a good way to see if you like a tat

We got to the end of act 1 where a bloodburster pops out of one of the crew they are rescuing and we drew initiative (card based in this system)

#

Player running the captain goes first sees the Bloodburster hissing on the ground. Draws pistol and hits it with two additional successes for more damage

#

We role-playing it out as
capitan sees this
draws pistol
"Fuck this"
blows baby neomorph away

its a pretty neat system

I can't wait to have everyone with the stuff in act 2

what should i use to remove paint off the whole figure i put to much primer and now the figure has no detail

vivid rune
#

Let it soak for a few hours and gently scrub it with a toothbrush

#

How much comes off should infer you how long it needs to additionally soak

#

You can get it at walmart in the cleaning isle for pretty cheap

storm lark
tight hatch
sage matrix
#

Yeah just be careful in general, check it every few minutes to make sure the plastic isn’t melting

#

But you should be good

storm lark
#

oh I just bought 90% Isopropyl alcohol and put them in a cup to soak over night

vivid rune
#

I would not reccomend white or clear spirits

#

Their vapors are dangeous to inhale and need proper ventilation @storm lark

#

And THEY WILL MELT your mini just very slowly over time

storm lark
#

really?

sage matrix
#

Yeup

vivid rune
#

Simplegreen is best because with a week or a month of soaking theyll be clear but have no melting

storm lark
#

welp to late how long should i let them soak?

vivid rune
#

Minutes

storm lark
#

its only been 15 so itll be fine

vivid rune
#

Yea it should be good

#

Gently scrub it with a toothbrush

storm lark
#

eeep this suff hurts my nose

vivid rune
#

You used rubbing alchol right?

#

Like 90% atuff for wounds?

storm lark
#

it says first aid and cuts

vivid rune
#

Yeup okay

#

Yea its the vapours

#

Its why i dont reccomend spirits

sage matrix
vivid rune
#

Because that stuff is much worse

#

And will hurt your brain long term

sage matrix
#

But I would still be careful with simple green, can still be toxic as it is a cleaning product

storm lark
#

well its not like i do this every day so ill be fine i guess

vivid rune
#

Yea its just no where near as bad with vapours

storm lark
#

its only bad if you do it all the time

vivid rune
#

I legit have a bin of simplegrean with some stormcasts just havin a dip

sage matrix
#

What I do is I will dilute the product with water. It will weaken the strength of simple green, so you don’t have to worry about it damaging the plastic

vivid rune
#

I take em out once in awhile for a scrub, get some off, then put em back in for a soak and repeat

sage matrix
#

Ditto

vivid rune
#

Oh i dont even dilute

#

Simple green isnt strong enough to melt

#

As far as ive seen

#

And ive had them in for prob a 6 months at this point

sage matrix
#

Yeah I’ve weened off of it, I’m just paranoid sometimes 😂

vivid rune
#

Fair

storm lark
#

actually ill let them sit in the cup for 40 mins and ill let you know if they melted

Just put it in a box with a lid and scrub with tooth brush you dont need fancy shmancy crap just 99% ipa or in your case 90 should be just fine.

hoary ermine

Ayo

#

Just use cleaning benzine

#

Itll be fine promise

#

dont actually do this your model will be fucking Thanos snapped

Just use your 90 ipa friend trust me you will be fine i literally do the same with it in a sonic cleaner to strip paint and the varnish off of my friends grampa shield also good luck 😉

yeah, cause if you breath in particularly strong alcohol it can get you drunk

twilit cliff

you hang out with fun people i hear

na thats the kinda person i avoid

binge drinking is cringe

if youre huffing absinth are you even drinking

Yes

Why the fuck do you need toget drunk

hoary ermine

So many people drinking to get drunk i dont fucking get it

twilit cliff

must be super bad on your nose and eyes though, probably your livers too

huffing the fumes cuts out the middle man and it basically just goes straight to the brain

its a quick way to get drunk

Ah yes, snort the shot

hasty sorrel

yes

like, im not joking, people do this

hoary ermine

Yeah im not surprised

25% of people in my city are binge drinkers, they know every way under the sun to get drunk

its not fun

twilit cliff

there's stats on that?

hasty sorrel

yes

hoary ermine

Ofcourse there is

hasty sorrel
#

binge drinking is a massive issue

hoary ermine
#

Theres stats on toilet use

hasty sorrel
#

people just don't like talking about it because they want to go and binge drink

hoary ermine
#

Drinking is way more important than that

#

Its been a problem in nearly every country

twilit cliff
#

oh yeah there are

#

23.3% of men and 15.4% of women here

#

yeah i didnt think they'd have stats on that per city

hasty sorrel
#

they track it per city because alcohol is a large economic factor

#

if it sells well, thats good money

#

if it sells too well it affects city productivity

twilit cliff

ye due to how alcohol is it tends to just turn into vapor, so huffing (strong) drinks can get you drunk faster than drinking

Warhammer 40k Wiki

The Parasite of Mortrex is a unique Tyranid bioform, the result of a Norn-Queen's genetic experiments and tests to enhance its broods. Named after its most disturbing ability and the planet where it was first encountered, the Parasite of Mortrex is a bat-winged Tyranid creature evolved from Tyranid Warrior stock.
Next to its multiple claw append...

it's a special character that was introduced in 5th edition and then immediately dropped in 6th after the Chpaterhouse farce, that I'm quite happy to see come back. Flying monster that injects Ripper parasites into people which then eat them from the inside out

brisk vapor
#

about time nids got some more characters

#

on the tabletop

hoary ermine
#

Of course

#

As logged, the battle depicted between those marines and nids went horrible

#

The armor of one of the marines got a spec of acid, but the warrior will live with this trauma, learn from it and become stronger of it.

vivid rune
#

I like how the article was written like the nids were marines and the space marines were crayons

quaint halo

My guess is it's a kit that makes that character and then you have options for a different unit choice

Maybe a small AP -1 on the devourer

they did say this army will be the opposite of Tau so very melee heavy you'd think

also what I hope

Well Tyranids used to be build around having lots of options and making what you wanted from Horde, to monster mash, shooty or melee

visual cliff
#

well wouldn't it be time to buff the guard next?... like they get one special weapon free in each squad.

and some add buffs when in cover. and a BS for vehicles that stays constant

#

and lots of pts decrease

edgy cipher
#

Funny thing is that would only make guard unfun to play against

#

They end up like current taus

#

Which imo, has very good, but also terrible design

#

Tbh I wish the artillery rule of no los equals -1 to hit and no reroll was back

#

Would make guard and Tau way more tolerable

i just wanna field more troops and not go into that yucky conscript mess

Whiteshirts with an inquisitor are a pretty decent way to do that nowadays, Ld 9 and hereticus has a spell to give them a 5++

maybe psychic barrier from an astropath too

I'm pretty new to 40k's tabletop, does GW introduce models between codices?

damn, i might have spoiled my self with chaos spac emarines, that army is like, next tier modular. you can pratically fill any playstyle with all the legions and equipments.
