good work

obtuse breach
#

working on a beast boss rn

#

still WIP

dark cave
#

I base coat with screaming skulls then heavily wash them with dark purples. Mixing the two paints together, I work back up to a warm fleshy pink. I realize that Emperors children are supposed to look a lot more chaos infected but who cares.

twilit cliff
#

they look great

twilit cliff
#

177 euros all together

brisk vapor
#

oh damn

#

nice

#

baneblade alone is almost that innit

twilit cliff
#

it is now yeah

#

the guy posted it on ebay before the pricehike too

#

i think i paid 80 euros for the baneblade, it's at 120 in the store now

Best options to make a Darktide diorama with gw miniatures?
Advices?
Ideas?
Suggestions?
Examples?
Already started projects?

hasty sorrel
#

uh

#

imperial guard for the guardsmen

#

pox walker kits for the pox walkers

twilit cliff
#

Oh and specifically darktide

#

yeah, guardsman, and skele if im right the male guardsman in the trailer is not kasrkin right?

hasty sorrel
#

he's hazard ops, don't think you can get either as models anymore tho

twilit cliff
#

fuck is hazard ops

hasty sorrel
#

hazardous operations. its a rebreather and extra coverings to make sure its safer to traverse hazardous areas (gas attacks, ork spore issues, mind mould)

twilit cliff
#

uhhh

#

im p sure you can just use the rebreathers from the cadian command kit?

#

the only thing i dont know how i'd do is the priestess

hasty sorrel
#

just get a missionary model

twilit cliff
#

the missionary with chainsword?

hasty sorrel
twilit cliff
#

im assuming he wants something more accurate

#

ive been thinking how i'd do the priest myself but i dont see many decent options

hasty sorrel
#

nothing else more accurate tbh, unless you want to swap some parts or use green stuff

twilit cliff
#

well yeah

proper canopy
#

What about using a brettonian men at arms I thinkt hey are called.

#

The foot peasants

twilit cliff
#

good luck getting your hands on brettonian infantry

proper canopy
#

I never saw 'an easy way' to make it. 😛

twilit cliff
#

ofcourse, sorry if that cmae across as rude

proper canopy
#

No worries.

twilit cliff
#

but yeah how i'd do it is like

#

get yous a valkyrie, some pox walkers

#

one of the ogryn

#

i like the one in front for the ogryn in the trailer i think

#

the cadian with rebreather for the male guardsman and whatever bits you deem fit

#

a lighter armoured (?) cadian and female head for the female guardsman

#

but the priestessi really dont know how to recreate

#

and just some chaos cultists with add bits to your liking for the moebian guard

#

maybe with some 3rd party headswaps and green stuff

#

and madrobot has those splintercell looking night vision goggles

brisk vapor
#

Sister of Battle heads ought to do well

hasty sorrel
#

IG come with female heads now

twilit cliff
#

well yeah but dpeneing on the accuracy

#

i think you want a female mohawk looking head

#

depending*

brisk vapor
#

oh yeah I was thinking about the zealot in the trailer, forgot about the guardswoman

twilit cliff
#

the zealot is a good name yeah

#

im pretty uninspired with words today

#

the sisters head fits for her yeah

#

she's got that haircut

twilit cliff
#

found an old gw bill from 2007

#

Pricing is interesting

#

the findings are that the baneblade is now 50% more expensive, the masters of the capter 20%, the paint is 50% more expensive

#

the basing kit i can't compare

brisk vapor
#

there's also been almost like 30% of inflation since then so those values are not quite exact

twilit cliff
#

yeah i wasnt int he workforce in 2007

#

so it's hard to tell for me

brisk vapor
#

but yeah, gotten a bit more expensive

twilit cliff
#

still it's like finding a lil relic

brisk vapor
#

the 79€ then is pretty much 100€ now

twilit cliff
#

the guy billed me 80 for that baneblade so i'm paying 2007 prices, fine by me

rain void
#

during that period too things that were included in the box got sectioned off as a separate purchase

#

from late 00s-mid 10s

twilit cliff
#

yeah i noticed the additional costs

#

like card payment

#

also they didnt originally include tax it looks like

#

i think if you buy off of the webstore now, that TVA tax is included

#

or VAT

#

sorry

brisk vapor
#

yeah it is

twilit cliff
#

i also got some stickers for wh40k squad command with my purchase lol

brisk vapor
#

that's pretty pog

#

it was a pretty darn good game for a DS/psp game

twilit cliff
#

i had it at the time but iddnt play much

#

my brain was too small in 2007

brisk vapor
#

I had it for the DS, some of the voice lines and vfx have been drilled into my head

twilit cliff
#

i remember it starting out with uh

#

space marine scouts?

brisk vapor
#

can't remember much of the missions but I think so

#

maybe a speeder with them

twilit cliff
#

I dont have my psp here so

#

Ill check next time i get the chance

Bitches help
(She won this fight later)

compact umbra
#

Tbh I wish there was like, mercenary units like in AOS

#

Like maybe not like ‘oh yeah tryanids can take a rogue trader squad’

#

But like ‘yeah X Y and Z can take veteran Kroots as mercenaries.’

#

Or like ‘yeah astra militarism, knights, and sisters can take a rogue trader team as mercenaries.’

elfin yew
#

That is how it works currently I believe

#

With the rogue trader KT from old KT

compact umbra
#

Yeah they are only for astra militarism

elfin yew
#

They just arent very good

compact umbra
#

Militarum

elfin yew
#

Same with Agents of the Imperium

compact umbra
#

Yes

#

I FORGOT THE AGENTS EXITSED

#

No clue why I love their lore but I always forget they are on table top

elfin yew
#

Theres also apparently a Agents of the Aeldari keyword but its currently unused

#

In the new codex

compact umbra
#

It would be cool if you could take some elites kroots for like tau, eldar, and drukhari. Or hell even let some of the drukhari mercenary units be allowed in certain xenos armies

#

They would he used alot more

#

I love the medusas and Ssylth but don’t like drukhari

elfin yew
#

Yeah it just wouldnt work too well on the tabletop

#

Theyre going to either be broken in a certain setup because GW would have to account for like 5 armies changing for one unit

#

Or, what actually happens with weird mixed faction models, they dont synergixe at all with any faction and they just suck

#

And become goofy fluff units

#

Even the new Corsairs have a hard time fitting into rlly any army

compact umbra
#

Aw man

compact umbra
#

But it would be garbage filling the codex :(

#

Like unfallen

from official art, colours of the Traitor Guard doesnt seems too much nurgle-like right? what colour for poxwalkers? (citadel paints)

The lads

In Darktide's case they are traitor guards that swore allegiance to Nurgle

Alright I've arrived at a color scheme for my regiment of Krieg

hasty sorrel
#

nice

#

i like the blue

lean ice
#

Thank you! Trying to make them cohesive with my homebrew chapter to make them all seem like a proper planetary defense force

#

Who look like this. So my marines are White with blue accent, I want my guard to be black with blue accent

I have a sneaking suspicion that the world eater’s codex is gonna be throughly disappointing

#

And greatly lack unique units.

#

It is entirely possible that I’m saying this out of spite as I am an emperors children player

vale sleet
#

wouldnt be the first time someone left out angron

oH YEAH ANGRON BETTER COME TO FUCKING TABLE TOP

I actually love angron and if he comes to table top ill 100% make a world eater army

that's a bloody smart iddea

thank you, tool added to belt.

violet hatch
#

I wonder if you could make those real LEDs...

Furthermore, the eventual cost for LEDs isn't so much the construction itself, but the cost of batteries in the long run.

No way this isn't a joke

no no no

#

dont do this gw

brisk vapor
#

I mean I'm sure we'll get at least a mini

#

but not an army

plush swift
#

If GW is like

haha just a joke guys!

buildings will burn

hasty sorrel
#

is joke

tulip cairn
tulip cairn
#

I mean

#

they havent said it was a joke

plush swift
#

And even if, just make them canon. in scale like DRG

hasty sorrel
#

have you experienced april the first before

#

also they are already canon lmao

#

they have FW minis

tulip cairn
#

Not many people do april fools jokes in my area anymore

plush swift
hasty sorrel
#

they dont tho

#

its legit just "they are a scattered race"

#

so they doa few hero models for em and thats it

brisk vapor
#

their last april fools joke was the plastic thunder hawk

#

only that it was a much smaller scale

plush swift
#

ok. you are right with that. i'm probably thinking of the armies they sold

#

Would be kinda cool if we get a "April Fool's" mini 🤔

crisp forge
#

that thunderhawk thing was just a shitty joke they did for an aeronautica reveal

brisk vapor
#

was the thunder hawk two years ago then already

plush swift
crisp forge
#

Yeah

plush swift
#

lol

crisp forge
#

Its a really low hanging fruit too

#

so sounds like GW lmao

brisk vapor
#

oh yeah I did forget about the movie joke

#

it was pretty funny tbh

hasty sorrel
#

i don't care for squats but i love the rest of that trailer

#

first time we have seen an imperial hull in full detail up close

plush swift
#

I was hoping for a Space Hulk remaster

brisk vapor
#

oh no the thunderhawk wasn't even an april fools joke, just a funny reveal in general

plush swift

someday cope

#

GW are massive cheapskates when it comes to trailers so this was a bit too on the high end

brisk vapor
#

the "movie" trailer was pretty good quality too though

#

but this one feels better

crisp forge
#

Yeah i agree

hasty sorrel
#

it's probably a joke to test the waters at best

#

if they wanted to announce an army they'd do one of their big quality trailers

brisk vapor
#

they'll release another trailer tomorrow where the new tyranid parasite eats the lone squat

#

as it should be

placid kernel
#

didnt the christmas leaker say there would be a squat kill team at some point? stay on copium you dwarf fans, lord knows you need it

The Leagues of Votann are coming to Warhammer 40,000 later this year, but there are still a solid few months to go before we get a good look at their advance force. In the meantime, we’ll be sharing a huge amount of info about the new faction and their place in the 41st Millennium.

feral valley
#

ITS SQUAT TIME!!!!

crisp forge
#

Squats already had a ton of lore

#

it was just incredibly crammed down because their history IRL was so messy, they should be fine to explain

urban harbor
#

looks a lot like terran marine armor

crisp forge
#

Yeah this is just 1 guy atm, and more of the faction is coming. Gotta wait and see how it is.

urban harbor
#

yeah

brisk vapor
#

and this guy

im so happy

hoary ermine

#

hes gonna be happy

violet quiver

doin squats and more

#

bro ima run a squat ARMY

hoary ermine
#

im definitely gonna get some for a DRG diorama

brisk vapor

them being separate from the imperium is pretty darn neat

SQUATS ARE ACTUALLY COMING?

It'd be interesting if they fell under Xenos instead of Imperium

can't wait to see their vehicles

I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE

I mean

#

we did say that trailer was too high end

so it was kinda obvious it wasnt

squats bro

#

he doin squats

loud gorge
#

They are their own fucking factions. Let's FUCKING go

crisp forge
#

Im glad they made that a slang

#

Squats is a dumb fucking name KEK

#

but their current faction name is also just eh

#

you can tell they just went the AOS route

loud gorge
#

The are the LOVs

green cave
#

The League is how they are gonna be called most of the time anyway

crisp forge
#

Or you know

#

just squats

#

sicne nobody cares about what name GW puts

green cave
#

The League

#

Or the Kin

crisp forge
#

"No no they're ogors, not ogres"

violet quiver
#

"aelves!"

#

"elves"

#

"DWARDS!"

#

"Dwarves"

elfin yew
#

Its duardin

#

And aelves has some precedent

#

I actually think Aelf pre-dates elf?

#

As a word

crisp forge
#

Yeah its an actual word

#

but either way its pretty dumb

hasty sorrel
crisp forge
#

Lmfao

#

told you so

tiny cairn
#

I like the use of aelves for the elven word for elven and then humans callem elves

crisp forge
crisp forge
#

its like looking at a human and going

#

so are you called "Haemans"

#

it basically sounds the same, just with an extra letter

#

WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS GW

tiny cairn
#

Nah it's like when you talk to someone who has a different accent then you, it's not like they're spelling it out for each other

pale kayak
#

dont most if not all eldar call humans a derogatory when they talk to them

crisp forge
#

Im pretty sure everyone in 40k calls someone a deragatory term

elfin yew
#

Most eldar never talk to a human

#

And yes

crisp forge
#

Yeah that too

#

people act like dwarves arent shitheads either

#

elves and dwarves are basically the same race lul

urban harbor
#

lol

crisp forge
#

Arrogant pricks that hate everyone and are too proud to have caused the downfall of their respective civilisations while being a dying elder race that humanity and other factions will soon slowly outgrow.

hoary ermine
crisp forge
#

Lmao yeah pretty much

#

in the end the only dividing factor is what aesthetic you like

hoary ermine
#

Yes.

#

i like both

pale kayak
#

same here

crisp forge
#

I would say im biased

#

but I also got like every WHF dwarf novel

pale kayak
#

i mean you do have an elf profile pic which im asuming is ether sylvanas or someone i dont know

#

but nothing wrong with being biased on something you like

#

ah never look up her lore

#

not sure why you deleted it

#

but whateves

hasty sorrel
#

if she deleted pfp stuff its cause people are really weird about it

pale kayak
#

ah fair enough

crisp forge
#

Yeah that

#

but either way dont get into her lore

#

I tried once as an outside fan and gave up

#

WoW is too much 💀

hasty sorrel
#

even inside fans give up

#

the lore is just bad

pale kayak
#

even the devs gave up

crisp forge
#

lol

#

harsh but true

hasty sorrel
#

the lore for the most recent expansion got leaked prior to launch

pale kayak
#

whenever i look at ether elves or dwarves i go to the weapon and armor design first

hasty sorrel
#

and people thought it was so bad it could only be fake

brisk vapor
#

Wonder if this is a psyker

hasty sorrel
#

going by standard dwarf rules probably not

#

will maybe be a squad leader, or some kind of shoulder mount designed to look like a dragon head

brisk vapor
#

Think the og Squats had psykers though

strong lichen
#

hmm maybe a Tech arm?. like mechanicus and tech marines got

brisk vapor
#

but I'm not certain

crisp forge
#

One had a pickaxe at his backpack too

#

Im really curious about that dude the most though yeah

pretty accurate to me

elfin yew
#

Mfer 'squat' as tall as a human

violet hatch
#

wait a fucking second

#

is he wearing high heels or something?

crisp forge
#

Nah uh

#

it was in the rumor engine

#

most likely robotic legs

violet hatch
#

bruh

crisp forge
#

Ikr

#

how can one lose a limb

compact umbra
# elfin yew

I mean, how tall are the old squats modes compared to humans ?

elfin yew
#

Probably INCREDIBLY small

#

Considering how older models tend to be smaller

#

Even old marines are tiny

compact umbra
#

Lmao

pale kayak
#

im gonna go out on a limb here and say that the models need to be measured better or maybe its cus the armor is making them bigger like power armor does with everyone that wears it

violet quiver
radiant lotus
#

there's 2 votann in that power armour duh

violet hatch
#

Big brain

#

one's running the legs

#

and the other is just sitting on their shoulders

hasty sorrel
# elfin yew

tbf, in power armour (but ye ffs when do ig get updated FrogeCry )

elfin yew
#

If they make IG any taller theyre gonna end up bigger than eldar

#

I think this is a constant issue

#

FBSBD

crisp forge
#

I.G looking more short-stack than the actual fucking short-stacks smh

#

and yeah Eldar in lore reach a Marine's neck in height

#

you cant sadly do these with minis lmao

pale kayak
#

i mean there called minis

elfin yew
#

In theory they should all be set to the same scale

#

The new guardian to firstborn is p good scale

pale kayak
#

honestly i thought the models were all the same size

crisp forge
#

Same

elfin yew
#

Nah

#

In theory, theyre all set to a scale, so they all have to be the same ratios against eachother as they would if real

#

Of course, that just isnt practical with some models

#

Ex a titan could not be scaled correctly and fit on a table

hasty sorrel
#

just get a bigger table

#

smh

edgy cipher
# elfin yew

New kriegs are slightly thinnner but taller so thats fine

#

Also god damn those squats are thick

green cave
#

That is what happen when you are left in high gravity worlds i assume

hoary ermine
#

an actual squat is about a head or so shorter than a human

elfin yew
#

WHERE IS YOUR POWER ARMOR

#

damn no enclave emote in any of my servers

#

sad

hoary ermine
#

THIS IS LITERALLY A POWERED RIG

elfin yew
#

It's a joke silly boy

hoary ermine
#

BACKPACK UNIT AND ALL

#

GET YOUR SUIT

#

YOU LOST AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF ENLCAVE HARDWARE

green cave
#

I'm very interested in their guns... And NGL, i'm a bit let down by their armours... They kinda looks more like armoured work suit

#

Like the ones that GSC use

elfin yew
#

Yeah It's p funny how similar they look to neophytes with that outfit

green cave
#

Shit that is a good one

brisk vapor
#

Think I need to add some squats to my GSC force then

green cave
#

Who know, maybe the Kin is more resistant than baseline humans to infection

#

And while armoured work suits for the Kin kinda make sense i would have preferred a more military looking one for armour

compact umbra
#

Every day I come closer and closer to become obsessed with tryanids

plush swift
#

Why

urban harbor
#

cuz they are a person of culture

compact umbra
#

I am obsessed with bugs and the destruction and consumption of everything

plush swift
#

Okay, that fair

compact umbra
#

And I am luckily about ti focus my depresso expresso overly emotional energy into bug men

When my paycheck drops

plush swift
#

XD

#

Good luck with painting Tyranids

#

Maybe Genestealers cult too ? or only Tyranids

compact umbra
#

UHhh I honestly don’t like trh mining equipment style but when I get the bits I want for my custom cult then I would

#

I might just design trainers after my favorite monster fetishes traits into my tyranid deisgsn

#

Probably bioluminescence mainly

plush swift
#

😏

#

Bioluminescence is hard to get but very satisfying

compact umbra
#

Oh yeah I heard

#

Also eyes

I might just slap eyes everywhere

plush swift
#

I'm more into Genestealer Cult

compact umbra
#

I like them

I just really. Don’t like the mining equipment look

plush swift
#

Understable

compact umbra
#

I wish there was like more lore that wasny@mining equipment

#

Also more named characters

#

Or customization

#

I know nids are getting an update

#

But I want to start my army but I know ntohing about them table top

plush swift
#

It's really fair actually

#

But want a bit

#

V9

#

But take the actual Codex (V8) they got a lot of lore usefull for you

#

V9 is a crap for lore

compact umbra
#

Lmao

#

I’m thinking I might get like, heavy artillery and swarms

#

Mmm not sure tho

brisk vapor
hoary ermine
#

fuckit

#

Squat cosplay, on the list

#

time to let my magnificent beard grow in anticipation

green cave
#

Aren't you, like... A bit too taller to be a LoV?

hoary ermine
#

Ehh... im wearing platform boots.

odd ingot
#

Question, how tall are the squats anyways?

green cave
#

I would say around 150 cm... But for official height we might have to wait that they get more lore

#

Ah, it seems that old lore state their average height as 1.4 meters

brisk vapor
#

Quite happy with TMM for once

plush swift
#

I think even if Squats are a new Army, they stay part of the Imperium i asume

brisk vapor
#

The article stated they're a separate part

#

And having a human faction NOT being part of the Imperium/Chaos is very very good and interesting

radiant lotus
#

agreed

plush swift
#

Yesno. Because we know how our deer imperials react when you not kissing big e boots

brisk vapor
#

hence it is interesting to have something to oppose that

#

and have it be represented on the tabletop

plush swift
#

So. Do the squats take big e as a god. Or do we get a new squat one? Or is there no squat god, and they just dragon age it?

brisk vapor
#

Don't know what dragon ageing it would mean but I doubt they see big E as anything spectacular, they might but not sure

plush swift
#

Hmm, probably true

#

I would like if they would make them DRG like. Just that the squats are kinda chill with humans. Like in fantasy

radiant lotus
#

hope so too

#

i think they will be

brisk vapor
#

Although their civilisation shares common roots with Humanity, the Leagues of Votann have an uneasy relationship with the Imperium of Man. Unlike their superstitious Human cousins, the Leagues emerged from the Age of Strife with far more of their ancient technology intact, including some infamous advances the Imperium would consider extremely heretical.

#

From the article

radiant lotus
#

hmmm

plush swift
#

Don't get me wrong. I will love both factions. And i love the imperium. BUT, dwarves better.

radiant lotus
#

interesting

plush swift
#

So. Tau, but dwarf

hasty sorrel
#

na thats demiurge

plush swift
#

I kinda love and hate that gw is putting in better tech at the same time

radiant lotus
#

i hope the votann don't end up just making things for the imperium and thats why they get along, like mechanicus

plush swift
#

And i hope the tech is not to advanced. I mean, one of the shadows had a pickaxe.

So space miners would work

#

I mean. Tau and Eldar are old af in tabletop terms. But it kinda kills the vibe if everything looks dystopian, and than a Gundam comes around. Right, TAU?

yeah I think the general design philosophy with the pre-strife stuff is mostly semi generic scifi and once that went to shit we arrived at the gothic look of 40k

dusk hill
#

Yeah but idk, they can look more sci fi without looking so squeaky clean

dusk hill
#

looks more worn and gritty

brisk vapor
#

the paintjob also matters quite a bit

dusk hill
#

incorporate fabrics, more jewellery & symbolism. maybe they've had this armour passed down for centuries, make it look used

Yeah but even so idk

I'm waiting to see how the rest of the range looks

yeah it does

#

not necessarily bad but i don't know

very different

i dont like the fact to bring the setting forward they just keep going "we brought back oldererer tech"

and it keeps getting more generic

#

the imperium is getting outshined by the newest shiny thing

literally another new (imperial) faction has come out before guard got an update

elfin yew
#

Listbuilding to hew the beards from these dwarfs for the crime of aspect warriors still being ancient

radiant lotus
#

but aren't the imperium like the dawi from fantasy in that they don't make new stuff?

#

makes sense that their tech will get outshined eventually if they stick to that mindset

#

or am i way off

elfin yew

Sort of?

#

Its convoluted

#

Thats typically the case but the admech isnt completely without innovation

actually speaking of 3d printed models is there a good site for those? Im looking for some to paint not a whole pack like on gws website maybe 1 or 2

hasty sorrel

not a clue

strong lichen
junior blaze
#

its the blue glowey ones

crisp forge
#

Yeah might have been the site people not calling it a "plasma gun" and opting to "rifle"

strong lichen
hasty sorrel
#

they use rifle to differentiate between the plasma rifle and the plasma pistol

strong lichen
hasty sorrel
#

🤷

crisp forge
#

Welp gun is gun i guess

green cave
#

Plasma gun is used interchangeably with plasma rifle, to be fair, most of the time plasma gun is used when indicating the imperial one, while plasma rifle is used to indicate something more refined and used mostly to indicate tau one... It is not the correct name for the tau one though, since it is pulse rifle the correct name, but since it is still inside plasma category it is also called plasma rifle

hasty sorrel

# violet quiver I’ve been wanting to do a Commissar Cain cosplay for a while but I’ve never cosp...

What an awesome cosplay project!

I usually start by analysing the costume for parts from Fanart and what's needed from canon. Breaking it down into core essentials. For Cain, it would be his jacket, the undershirt, pants, boots, gloves, hat, accessories (chains and what not), and then his weapons.

Thankfully he appears to wear clothing as opposed to armour, so your first port of call is second-hand stores to see if there is anything you can use for parts! Military stores or Online stores might help because of the style of clothing, they might have exactly what you need! If not, a lot of online sources will have patterns for this kind of clothing to be sewn.

For his weapons, I'd go 3D printing or foam. There will be tons of blueprint sources and/or tutorials online for this and I'm happy to help you find good ones if you need :)

For Warhammer, I love to customise and have fun creatively so add as many accessories and stuff as you see fit because the costumes are massive and super dramatic so it's very hard to over-do!

Sorry if this is a mouthful of a message lol but ways happy to help, this just kinda breaks the process into the bare essentials! 😁
