Bloodletters too
Really? Furries got decent new models on the AoS side of things. Seems odd to ditch them for 40k when new models are right there
LMAO
Sure, but what does that change? No reason you couldn't use the same models in 40k that I see
Isn't he playing bouncer with the harlequins in the black library?
Hes went off into the webway
we dont know anything beyond that
He could be a pain engine for all we know lol
him coming back as a giant super pain engine would still be a return tho 😛
and i great way to piss off the SM stans to boot lol
Based
all loyalist primarchs who are not guilliman should be dead and/or in some tragic condition
dorn should be retconned back into a whole ass skeleton on the phalanx
russ should be a horrible wolf monster imprisoned by magnus as a pet
the lion should wake up only to immediately be stabbed by luther
corax should remain a bird daemon thing but hunt both traitors and imperials alike for rejecting the imperial truth and collectively building a nightmare galaxy filled with tyrants
the khan should be a pain engine
vulkan should be peacefully farming somewhere isolated from the rest of the galaxy, content and at peace
Khan purchased by Bile for his own purpose 
hell you could make these into models for all i care
I'd love if the imperial fists committed tech heresy and had an amber clad dorn skeleton golem running around wearing dorn's armor and all as some sort of shrine
or a khan pain engine
or a feral werewolf russ who can be played by either space wolves or thousand sons (a freed or unfreed pet)
or a bird shadow teleporty corax
except the lion fuck that guy
Forgive the poor lighting
iw odner if the soul grinder will finally be useful
no, theyre the alt build of the new karaskins
no those will be a vet squad part of the karaskin box
sort of, theyre not a infantry squad tho, theyre karaskin alt build
it has a very similar silohette to new caraskin and knee pads
Done with these kitbashes. Ready to enter Hive Tertium under the Inquisitor's Orders.
really enjoying minugun wolf from mgr
saw this piece of art for the first time, and i like it a lot
the space marine's face kind of reminds me of DIO
and i cannot figure out why because he looks almost nothing like DIO
Thats why you wear your helmet, guys
blonde
Terrible quality but here are my WIP DIY blood pact traitor guardsmen:
Kitbashed as best as possible
Looks great!
No one starts off good king. Your heart is in the right place, don’t give up on these despite them being traitors. If you put time into painting and take your time to learn your strong points and teach yourself new tricks you’ll turn out good.
I’m by no means the best but I take what I learn carefully and eventually it just becomes muscle memory
If you need help I can give you tips I’ve personally learned but besides that don’t sell yourself short your better than others I’ve seen at my shop
For those of you that are still relatively new to painting minis, is it hard? How have you found it? I really want to get into it but am terrified of spending money and just messing up mini after mini. Don't really have the income to be ok with doing a really bad job. I know practice is needed, but how long do you think it took for some of you to feel comfortable with buying minis?
I'm not new to painting but you can always strip the paint off and retry if you're not happy with it
Although I like to save all the paintjobs I've done to see how far I've come
This I did not know tbh
ye surprisingly many don't, it can be with a number of chemicals depending where you live
because not everything is as readily available everywhere
I used methylated spirits to strip my first minis
I think it took me about a month of painting to start to feel comfortable with my paint jobs. I sometimes still get some parts that don't turn out the way I want them but you learn to fix them
Here's my first attempt. I stripped those
My first Chaos marine after taking what I learned from messing up my novitiates
Retry of my novitiates, way more happy with them
And these were painted a week or so ago.
As you can see, lots of progress in a pretty short time. You just have to not be afraid to try things and maybe start over 🙂
I can give you my experience for what it's worth:
I was painting minis in the 90's as a teenager and absolutely hated it. There were no resources back there and for the impatient teenager who wanted to play that I was, painting minis was a chore.
I then quit 40k for various reason around 2000 and sold all my minis.
20 years later, I felt like having an Imperial Guard army again, so I started watching a lot of tutorials on Youtube. There are A LOT of resources you can find which are aimed at beginners and it's also very interesting to see what very experienced and talented people do, even if you don't feel like trying their techniques yourself.
Also, you'll have to think about how much time you want to invest in painting minis. I don't have much time in my life for leisure anymore, so I've chosen to use Contrast paints which save a lot of time and I try and avoid spending hours and hours on a mini to try and get something perfect. That's what I tried with my 5 first minis and it took me a year and a half to finish them lol.
About messing up, before stripping, you can also just correct your paint by putting a layer paint on the mistake and painting on it again. Of course, you can do that up to a certain point. ^^
Also, biggest tip I can give:
Do not use a pure white to paint large areas
The best advice is watch videos to gain a sense of a logical process of painting
It’s honestly easier than I thought it would be. Granted I don’t do a lot of steps that other people do but I’ve grown to enjoy painting them. Some times it’s hard but I’m the end I usually end up enjoying painting them
After that once you start painting you’ll get to know the paint and the properties it’s has, then you’ll learn what works and what doesn’t
Patience is key
And what I like to do is use one paint at a time. For example I’ll only paint certain pieces one color (I.e. painting all silver metallics) before I move on the next step
Batch painting also helps.
So a squad of five would mean go down the line and paint each one a uniform color then once you get to the last model go back to the first and use your next color
Doing this save a tone of time, otherwise you go back and forth and back and forth for no reason at all
Once you get your main colors in you then you can be more nit picky and clean edges at mishaps and what not
Don't do batch painting to learn new things though
That's how you end up ruining multiple models' paint jobs
Heh, I am always trying something new, that's why I never learned how to batch paint.
really east to get 3rd party.
Thanks bro that means a lot
Any time. Keep it real king 👑
As other people point out, there are a ton of resources to help you out, and there are new paints made for quickly painting armies. Also, to quote adventure time, sucking at something is the first step to being kinda good at something. You will ruin/poorly paint your first couple of models, but that's ok. As for comfort, whatever's in your budget, but I would shy away from buying a whole army in one go. Start small, and see how you like the process.
Starting small is indeed a great idea
If you're interested in something 40k, take a look at Kill Team
It's anything between 4 and 10 models that'll get you a full team to play with, and most of them can be built from a single box
Contrast paints aren't just for quickly painting armies either
Oh, and something I haven't seen anyone mention yet, I think
If you have a Warhammer store anywhere nearby you can always walk in and ask them about painting a mini
They'll usually have a free mini to start you off with
Here are the GW guidelines on tabletop standards, you don't need to be a master to start.
Just like with drugs, the first hit is free
I started in April with a single Kill Team
I now have 3 Kill Teams (1 unpainted because I'm waiting for the new contrasts) and a 1k point Sisters of Battle army (~20 models left to paint)
not exactly 40k persay but something kinda easy n fun to paint nontheless
dude SOB is so cool i am so jealous of their models
Greatest design is still the pipe organ tank. I love it so much
i want these
On the contrary, batch painting allows you to learn how to paint specific parts on each model! It’s simple repetition. That doesn’t mean you rush, it means you learn the ins and outs of one particular technique without going back and forth wasting paint
Also easier to preserve blends and keep consistency across your units
I would however break up batch painting by doing 5 models at a time, it’s entirely manageable
Gotta agree with that, when I was starting out I pretty much only batch painted and by painting A LOT you learn pretty quickly.
I can't stand batch painting
Yea it’s Tuff, but I have loved the results
I'd still do one test model first, see how it turns out and then to perfect it start batch painting
If the first model doesn't work out it's easier to fix
Does anybody know of any good Admech proxies, kind of that Mechanical dieselpunk vibe?
Prebuilt, parted or digital download?
Everything except 3D printer files is appreciated, I'm not lucky enough to have a printer haha
Any particular style your looking for?
Anything that I could use to either kitbash or units that just fit in with the Admech feel, more industrial leaning than the usual culty robes, I've been looking a bit and can't come up with much
eisenkern and dust tactics seem to be the two that fit the bill
eisenkern especially since they already fit the grim dark vibe a little from a mechanus standpoint. They also have mechs that look to be easily kitbashable in terms of style and size
Thank you so much! I'll definitely look into it
These arent my design but i printed some command protocols
My first attempt at a galaxy pattern
went to my local store, one of the guys i know. has finished his chaos knight army, it looks good but not sure how i feel about it lol
TAHTS FUCKING AWESOME
I imagine a bunch of forgotten knights abandoned by humanity given a second chance at life with the power of chaos
i’m feeling some gundam vibe from that description lol
They literally are gundams to be fair
Thank
Not exactly how I wanted it to look but it's pretty good for a first attempt at something like that
is that diablo?
i didnt know they made minis of him
They don't. It's converted from a LoTR Balrog and some nid bits
I thought it was a balrog at first
nice
i need to stop browsing etsy
bought the burning of prospero marines from a friend, but they're still available pretty much any gw store
Gotta say man, the army looks slick
idk what you got for background but it ties them together
they repackaged them just a month ago
photo quality is great too
thanks!
a mouse pad 
Also yeah great fucking job @brisk vapor
thank again
if they're sold on the gw site they ought to be available anywhere they sell normally. But as you noticed they're out of stocks at the moment, but will be available later again for sure
Hopefully
How long does it take for gw to deliver btw ?
Sent right to you or pick it up from a local store?
100%, they just rereleased the set with a larger set of marines so it's pretty popular so that's why they're out of stock at the moment
if it's a mainline GW store then yeah
but home delivery is around two weeks for me but my orders are delivered from the german stocks, you should have closer distributor in the us so it depends really
check the 3rd party gw sellers, they might still have them
How many marines comes in the MKVI tactical squad
For 68 u.s is that worth it?
the larger infantry boxes are a thing because Horus Heresy is pretty infantry heavy game
Good
those prices I linked were in euros so I'm not sure if they're the same in dollars
I’ll look
they're probably a bit more
no problem
did you check those 3rd party retailers I linked? They might still have them
and probably cheaper
I've got 30 mk3 marines still new on sprue from the burning of prospero kit that have been in the pile of shame for 5 like years now that I can't sell because everyone else around me also bought that box and has mk3s they're trying to get rid of
Bruh. Im looking for more mk3 marines. I need em for my imperial fist vets lol
chaos raptor
getting better at doing lighting but i still had a few fuck ups
the left lense i fucked up too but i tried to go with a damaged look
sadly you can't see shit cause it's dark
New pics of canoptek crocodile, need to clean up a bit tommorow
Anyone know a pdf file for horus heresy 2.0v
oh hey the daemons of tzeentch start collecting is gone
probably getting a real start collecting for deciples of tzeentch
never mind im blind
how am i just now learning this?
Bruh, same lmao
This video keeps on making me think he's going to do some extreme masterstroke techniques but then when the eyes hit you realize it aint happenin
like every typical pro "ah this is just the first coating"
ayyy belakor the based
YEEE
Belakor is the most based 40K and AOS character
I now have Belakor, all 3 start collecting, and a unit of plague bearers
(Don’t worry I made a skull cannon and regular chariot, and kitbashed regular heralds
This seems horrifically strong, locus of change
Modded a tow cable for my Spartan
weird way of spelling Katakros
I wonder how 40K will fuck up Legion of the first Prince/Legion of renown in the new codex
Weird way to spell Corvus Corax
Corax is a Loser nerd with no friends 
Lorgar is a true Sigma male who needs only himself.
Corax actually has a family and isn’t idiot lawful or idiot chaotic
Lorgar is based
Chad freer of humanity vs virgin imperium
Embrace the dark gods, free your self from the shackles of reality mother fuckers
If you're so free from your mortal shackles, why do you still have your flesh and soul?
- Turning Point Necron
Honestly looks great!
Thanks!
Thats an old rules layout, assuming its from the AoS box
Locus of Change is an army ability now that makes daemons -1 to hit when within 9" of a daemon hero
In melee
Ahhh okay, it was for screechers
The guy who literally needed someone or something to worship or he fell to pieces? Sounds pretty beta boi
He recognized that somebody needed to be the moral leader of the human race, and he found the emperor wanting. Sigma qualities to overthrow tyrants


So the chaos gods are a great moral leader lmao?

Be'lakor removes the penalty for doing multiple gods and is a supreme commander now
*The main mono-faction bonus for daemons is what's known as Warp Storm Points.
These are generated at the start of each battle round by rolling 8d6, and on each 4+ you gain a warp storm point. If you're using multiple gods, you take a penalty of rolling 2 fewer d6 per god (so if you're souping 2 gods you get 6d6).
These points last until the end of the battle round and can be spent on various effects at different times throughout the round, with each effect having varying costs - you can't use the same effect twice in the same round though. The majority of these effects apply to all units in your army when activated
In addition to a variety of effects everyone has access to, each god has 3 unique effects they can access. However, these only affect units of the respective god.
Some examples of warp storm point effects (some of these are universal, some are god specific):
+1 to advance and charge
Enemies must roll a d6 before falling back and can't on a 4+
Shoot/fight on death
+1 AP in melee*
WAIT WHAT
Be'lakor is basicallt an autoinclude now for multigod lisrs LMAO
YESSS
YESSSS
LEGION OF THE FIRST PRINCE MOTHER FUCKERS FOR THE WIN
HOLY SHIT I LVOE THEM
AAAAAAAAAA
DAEMONS IN 40K FULL OF FLAVOR AND FUNNN?!? IMPOSSSIBLE
i got a bunch of tyranids and skaven to paint
what are they painting tho???
gonna paint this fella the classic mars red colors
Please show works in progress
is that an official model?
Yea bruv
My friend made a really cool custom army today. He mad ork/guards mercenary company using blood axes and a custom regiment
so my first game with chaos marines happened today, and here is my assessment: possessed are probably the best unit in the chaos marine codex. holy shit the sheer volume of attacks you get mixed with being incredibly durable for what they cost per model. mix in a master of possession and they are a force to be reckoned with.
As expected their numbers are just super cranked up
Airbrush goes brr
Beautiful work!
Thanks!
"say 'ello to me little friend 'umies!"

Ruined my first batch of minitures my gluing them together wrong
i feel like such a idiot

is assembled all the fu+#ing minitures i got wright to this point. But today i think was not my day. rip those 5 necrons
what glue did you use
citadel platic glue
if you didn't use massive amounts of it you ought to be able to twist the parts off without breaking them if you're careful
they might but if you consider the model ruined it may not matter that much?
actually true
just taking it slow and twisting could get them off without a problem
it was just 5 Necron Immortals. i can get them cheep at my gamestore again. Im just happy it wasn't one of the "exclusive" minitures.
but i learned a lesson today. Check multiple times if i use the right parts
ye, everyone does that at least once or twice 😄
Did a stupid rookie mistake 💀. Thanks for the support Matic !
No problem, but just call me Jerk 
Ha, I'm afraid not
Me: "Do i call him Jerk? or... Matic.. ähhh"

On my first predator tank I glued the lascannons on backwards. That was a real pain to correct.

I feel with you
black templar intercessor sergeant
Can you post pictures of each head?
Starting to work on a warpsmith to my night lords.
I would do the moon but paint it the same color as the body instead of blue.
bird face is cool
I say moon face, most unique of the bunch
Drove all the way out to my local gw and they closed early today 🙃
call him darkthrone 

Base coat is done
I'm trying to decide if I want to go for official GW minis or 3rd party stuff for my guard army. How would most 40k players react to having 3rd party stuff?
teach me your ways
at a tournament poorly because i dont think thats allowed. To just show people? who cares as long as it looks cool which a lot of 3rd party stuff does
lol this isnt even that hard other than the face which is ALWAYS hard lmao
TBH the only place I'd take this is local non-GW stores
this is mainly the "color within the lines" stage
since the closest GW thing is several hours away
im just super scared of fucking up painting for my first time
but citadel models are usually so well made that the paint kinda goes exactly where it needs to be
I went to my local GW for painting lessons my first time
I used oil paint for the black parts of that commissar I posted here, lesson learned
might be worth it for your first time
someone i think here told me the age of sigmar paint kit has a decent selection would you agree with that
i want to do night haunts and mechanicus
yea the ghost dudes
Oh yeah night haunts are sic k
You could have these
admech is definitely the faction that got me into 40k
'heres everything you want have fun; armies\
Or just two or three colors
thats why I hope we get some admech rep in darktide eventually
skitarii veteran?
take all my money
probs a rogue skitarii
i dougbt a full skittari like other but maybe like an acolyte or something
Maybe once the game is out for a while, some more "official" forces could be dropped in
someone low on the admech totem pole
i mean admech are kinda already one bad step from being accused of heresy already
lbr
admech dont haev to follow anyones rules lmao
oh the inquisiton cant even fuck with the admech they would probably send off a heretic tech acolytes on admech terms
unless its like, a less important forge world
Well they can, but it's a situation which really demonstrates how much personal power an Inquisitor actually needs to exercise their "authority"
admech has enough infighting over heretical pursuits as is
Also, tech heretics do occasionally slip off into the underworld to escape the mechanicus. Sweep them up along with the gangers and mutants
oh probs
speaking of, I wonder if we're going to get any full blown mutants
not the abhuman or psyker kind
going back to models real quick
i was thinking about getting these guys to start with
resin not plastic though
thats what i did
just cause they are only like 20 bucks
tbh i mainly still with mian models but i do have a handful of custom 3rd party bits for kitbashing or
'this model is older then me fuck that shit'
then I got the best new model they got
but its litearlly all up to you
honestly i have been eyeing these my slef if you want them get em
ADMECh are a good example of its as difficult to make as you want it to be
oh yeah its fucking
beautiful
admech are ez to paint lmao
just takes time and patience
silver and 1 other color
go to wargames exclusive
thats were they are getting these from
Added difficulty by trying to chickenscratch in insignia
im currently painting custom models of all the vermintide cast and thats a lot harder
true
oh really
lol these guys love tiddys
no im browsing admech
yea their are admech tiddys here
@compact umbra IG stuff is great too
OH YEAH
that stuff is new
and it rocks
i havent checked tau and regular marines yet
actually let me hop o nt he website
i dont even like tau
i want this
but this is one of my favorite models
oh my god they have every regiment
YEAH
That.... that looks better than the actual mechanicus tank lmao
EVE N ROGUE
i have no idea what the actual tank is
today i realized hobby lobby offers painting stuff for a criminally cheap bargain
Aw, its even got lil trex arms in the front. Its cute. I want it lmao
Fan stuff is always great for IG and AD
wow the eldar stuff is super tasetful
i really like the dune crawler but i always giggle beacuse its agiant robot crabg its fucking halarious
thats nottoo bad but i do like the stationforge one better
It reminds me of an up armored sentinel
Giant chickens and crabs
I love it's little grabber
definite metal slug vibes from the third party vehicle
Friend of mine thinks they go a bit too far into the retro robot aesthetic but it's really only the smooth heads he has an issue with
yay or nay on this take of a tech marine
Which Chapter and or Legion?
chapterus madethefuckupikus
tech marines are trained by the admech
Okay, rude.
actually technically lore wise speaking the admech could have SM backup
if u havent already i highly recommend the mechanicus strategy game
its first few missions are super difficult
oh yeah
my techpriests are all bulked tf up thankfully
and I got plenty of smaller units
im pretty early in i have 3 tech priests now with the rangers and alphas(the melee ones)
gotcha
yeah the ranged units are so op
eventually u can get a perk that lets u have all ranged units fire at a target at once
👌
i have that one it is pretty nice
its also nice when you find out servo skulls can get you cp

which i missed
best music to come out of 40k in years
and though they had to be in melee range
how was that rude? I wasnt insulting you
just that its not a specific chapter because its a model literally just made up for whatever you want
just thought i'd give a quick reminder for anyone interested in playing horus heresy that it is perfectly acceptable to use proxy models. anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is a dipshit.
Especially with breacher shields being like... 70 dollars. For five.
Read it like it was. I meant what chapter or legion were you gonna use it for.
If it wasn't meant as an invective, then I retract the statement. My bad
Honestly, its a good sculpt. Might be good to stretch your painting muscle?
Though you may wanna check with your FLGS. My local place says, no 3D prints of things they sell in the store, so its understandable
Ayyy lucky then
another way to proxy as well is for example to take a 5 man squad of hellblasters as a plasma gun tactical support squad
or take a regular whirlwind as a whirlwind scorpius
Oh yeah, as long as its discussed beforehand I'm down with that
hey idk what to put this in but i made a list of all the CSM like, rogue warbands with actual art from the offical wiki with links
in a google doc
am i good to send it in case the like
2 people want to make the dragon warriors or what ever and want the offical art
im really into these
First ever black templar, got the combat patrol and started on the marshal
My blood gorgons Tzeentch Master of possession
Extinction Angels Slaanesh Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor
Very nice.
I’ve found when I did my Templar kill team that painting the tabard first made it 30% easier but it definitely looks good. Keep it up king
Thanks man
👑
THAT HELMET IS SO COOL
I think it's my favorite I've ever done, thanks a bunch
hello fellow girl
BonjOUrrrrr
not a mini buuuuuut
the fact a lot of TT figures are called "minis" even tho i lot of them are honestly very big is still funny to me
Imperator titan?
idk
hey guys, what do you think? Should i drop an artillery battery from my list to bring a deathstrike?
i know its a bit dumb but i figure it might get a laugh or something
My guess is that even though they are very big compared to us, they are still mini compared to what the "real" size would be ^^
(but yes it sounds weird calling something so big mini xD)
true
buy more models to reach the next factor of 250 points
scale ratios and all that
is a black or grey primer better?
I like black. Hides my mistakes :]
It depends what kind of colour you want to achieve
what do you wanna do
lighter colors benefit grey
darker colors or more intense metals prefer black
matte and super dark blacks are especially good for realistic metallics
zenithals are nice with black and grey sprey
its basically preshading a model
not that hard to learn either
My first full magnet job
oddly specific
Bug boy 
Awesome woprk!
sjuhgda hthak yoU
How long did it take?
clever,
Thank you
i remember my first magnet job it was on the original space marine commander i remember forcing my uncle to make it all magnatized
since then ive done my knights bodies with magnets on waste and arms
Lmao tbh I have no clue how to do like, actual magnets for space marines and such,
I just went to dollar tree and bought the smallest ones
learning to use a dermal tool will be a upgrade to every model when you learn to use it properly
id reccomend practicing on models that arent able to be totally built anymore like scraps and stuff
Very nice
Wait I recognize the top
It was one of the "reveals" we thought was the new tank for GSC or guardsmen
I gotta say though, I like it
Holy shit
anyone recommend a good Dremel for models?
This is a nice vehicle. Like... its so nice it feels like it should have been an age of sigmar release rather than a 40k one 🤣
Still not convinced about votann. Still waiting for that space dwarf feel
For what type of work?
Gives me Red Faction vibes
I like the cosmonaut aesthetic of all the new squat stuff
Finished 18 poxwalkers using zenithal and contrast paints to paint them quickly. Pretty happy with the result, it took only a few hours to paint them.
Oops, sorry, it's a lot of pics, I can delete some of them if it's an issue.
Good job on em they look great for a quick paintjob
spam to your heart's content
I got too many clanrats to paint and should use contrast, but it’s nice doing em with the other paints.
First attempt at basing with self made texture paint. Not got it quite down yet but happy to have my Iron Warrior done ^^
nice work, love that model
Gun barrels
I am jealous of contrast paints
What takes contrast painters a few hours takes a day for me.
Yeah the new ones look good
i'll pose a question to you all: should i make my last 20 mkVI tactical marines a full 20 man squad, or do a 10 man squad plus two 5 man support squads?
One 15 man squad with chainsaw bayonets, one five man support squad. Unless youre going for like more tactical flexibility. Then do what you wanted above.
13-15 man squads are the sweet spot apparebtly mathhammer wise. From what i hear
Bit of a long shot question, but does anyone know how tall the squat exo-driller model is compared to say an ambot?
@brisk vapor your Ultramarines are gorgeous.
that base is sick
For like, holes in gun barrels?
I've got a suggestion if that's the case
kinda proud on how i did the base , im new to the hobby btw 😄 so dont be to harsh
Thanks!
They truly are! The chipping effects on the dreadnought are awesome, and your minis are so clean, wow!
Looks nice! 🙂
yeah for doing gun barrels
the power sword was the most fun thing to do for this
To harsh you did good even I don’t really know how to make base’s yet and I’m new to the hobby too (im still kinda learning)
Depends what kind of scenery you want on it. Most people just use White glue/water it down, and put sand for texture.
I kinda wanted todo some snow or rocki areal for the chieftain beserker , for the caster i wanted todo some popings colours in the space between to look like a rift is open or something
There's a few ways to make snow bases, can find some good tutorials on youtube.
my favourite is mixing baking soda with PVA glue until you get a thick paste
got some pretty good results, due to the glue you can stick it to surfaces it would otherwise fall off and it doesn't change color with years
for me at least
I painted them 3y ago, the snow is still white
THIN YOUR PAINTS
NEVER
Looking good, don't forget to dip it in Nuln Oil
the composition of the pictues made me giggle
like the dreadnaught is looking fom behind 'what are those young punks doing?'
(although thats one of the new burnout dreadies, isnt it?)

It's one of the older Leviathans actually
There is a Redemptor behind him actually
Dammit, i know that mech but i forgot the name
Mad cat? But lacking the lrm shoulders.... maybe the marauder?
Yeah its the fuckin mad cat
Either since theyre like... based around the sane sorta concepts. Though i think the gatling on the buggy is definitely more marauder haha
Which is apparently created by general motors. GM apparently not only makes trucks, but auto cannons
GW already is aware of Battletech, and has riffed on it at least once. The great and mighty Dire Wolf
Got this toy cannon from a Goodwill and I was thinking of painting it up like an Archeotech cannon. Question is do I paint it like it belongs to the Guard, Mechanicus, or as an ancient object covered in rust and shit.
The Second pic shows a techy looking decal that makes me think about an energy rod.
Guard could usr it as an earthshaker battery
i ordered painting materials
Be warned, they take their damn time
Let's freaking goooooo. Ready to take back the Hive with my inquisition stuff. 
That is awesome 👌
Pet project im working on
Emperors Children players are not thriving at all
I KNOW THAT THEY ARENT FUCKING SOLD OUT
I FUCKING KNOW THIS
NO ONE BOUGHT THE UPGRADE KITS BEFORE
Next codex probably
ITS A CONSPERCY DAMN IT
THEY ARE CUTTING US OFF
WE ARE GONNA BE KILLED OFF IN THE LORE
Next thing gw does to removes all purple and pink paints
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaAAAAAAAAAA
THEY HAD THE SHITTY KIT FOR SALE FOR A DAY BUT THAT WAS IT
They might well be
EC are really good now
Esp Noise Marines
I think EC and WB are probs the best in the book
Its weird i barely have seen or heard anyone play EC
so far
i mean
they dont have to be vocal
idk
im just annoyed
Well the codex has been out for 2 weeks
necron alligator cant hurt you
necron alligator:
And Possessed are just releasing this coming weekend
yeah...
EC currently kind of just dominate the fight phase and just kind of shit on you if you charge into them at the wrong point
Which, for CSM, making the fight phase better is godtier
Their stratagems bang
im just salty that i havent even had a chance to properly start my noise marines
Working on a much bigger project at the moment but I did some touching up on a Model I did a while back
If the quality isn't good enough there's some blood spatter on the Destoryer
How come the imperial agents are largely ignored by GW, to my understanding taking one is already rare enough because of their cost, yet they get little to no changes regardless
Second phase done

Tempted to make the master of executions into a dark parody of an emperor's champion. https://poku.no/wp-content/uploads/Black-Templars-Emperors-Champion-1.jpg
Thus far here is my idea
Finished my marshal
That looks cool so far
Your marshal is looking fresh and nice! well done
Thanks man
Head mounted
For a number of reasons. I have a theory that GW doesnt actually want assassins to be strong because theyd be annoying as fuck
Ah yes, I have oneshotted your entire gameplan from across the board
Thus why snipers also tend to be weak
Esp with the LULNERF to bodyguard
True, but I feel like there has to be a balance between body guards actually being body guards and assassins actually being able to assassinate someone
If you don't bring bodyguards to protect your important dude they deserve to be shot
At least in my mind
Yeah but the thing is that Bodyguard does literally nothing now
If Bodyguard wasnt gimped, snipers could be good
It also becomes especially fun™️ because RAW, you can literally see a femtometer of a model and shoot it
So if your HQs happen to have say, a flag on their back, get fucked
Im hoping 10e completely throws out current cover rules and redoes them
Teaching 40k's weird cover interactions has been the most complicated part for me to explain
"Well you see, artillery gets a -1 to hit when outside of LOS. No that isnt dense cover even though it is nearly identical."
I hold that fight priority and the different kinds of cover are the worst rules in 40k
Yeah cover seems like a nightmare on a larger scale, thankfully explaining it in terms of kill team to my friends was kinda simple
Yeah this is what I mean, they're jobs both should be able to perform, instead they're both just wet noodles struggling to do their job
Yep
Good thinking. Esp since KT cover actually makes sense
Since it only has COVER and not 3 kinds
Kill team is probably GWs best game at the moment IMO
Torn between that and Underworlds to me
Smaller scale is when gw is at its best imo
Don't have to worry about bloat and balance becomes easier
for me you just can't beat the feeling of fielding a whole army
GW really has trouble with their big army games. The only one that I have enjoyed a lot lately is horus heresy.
Yeah KT is great but I love big games
rules have some quirky things but nothing that ruins the fun for me
Also the team I want to play is like comically broken
I tried reading some heresy rules but my had headache from heatwave and it made me think my brain was going to melt
Wyrmblade?
Voidweaver Troupe
They make perfect sense for a KT fluffwise but are still broken to the point of nofun
Harlequins jumping between being op in different game formats
LMAO
I'm just very glad I've managed to beat new codex Word Bearers twice with my Superior Ultramarine intellect
/s
Can't wait for them to show up in AoS and be top tier
Must be all the books you've eaten, knowledge osmosis
Your space book is simply better than theirs
oh yes
Wait the word bearers do have like a Bible right? Suddenly realised I don't know their gimmick
I know they are religious so buff possessed stuff
But do they actually have a Bible?
I guess you could call the book of Lorgar one
Let's take a look at a cool guard list that's been run to some success in a big GT!

thought yall might like this
They do have a religious book. If i remeber correctly it is the liber demonicus or something like that
I shall correct myself. It is infact simply "Book of Lorgar" I admit my error.

Lh yeha WGA releasing some great kits at a good price
Feels good man
Hows the color scheme on this guy?
Looks good. Give a nice wash.
Question: has there always been a Psyker miniature that looks like the Darktide one?
that's the stuff
can't wait to see the biggest diorama they have, the one with the huge building and around 5000 models
Morherfucking WARLORD TITAN
That's the stuff!
I love that piece
corpse starch baby
The ever present Ikea shelf
OH WARHAMMER WORLD
I WAS SO CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR WALLET LIKE
Did you build and buy all that yourslef
Scatter dice made them emerge too soon lmao
2,000 points of deathgaurd/chaos vs 2,000 points of Black templars
templars got their ass beat unfortunately and the enemy only suffered 1 casualty due to an overcharged plasma pistol
That flaming hot mt dew should have counted as a field hazard
Herea my work on mine so far. Im a slow process painter
Looks awsome. A night lord from the looks of it?
Da drippy squad
Yep!
Ave Dominus Nox! both are looking very nice.
hey is it worth magnetizing daemon princes?
man it is so tempting to make a super customised kill team after my vet guard but I cant think of any I'd want to do that to other than space marines
death watch is super customizable uhhh
kommandos
and dont quote me but i think pathfinders aer too
arent they still marines?
well by super customised I meant kitbash the fuck out of them to make them more unique, and I was tempted to pathfinders but kitbashing so many models when im still pretty amateur was intimidating
the 6 or so models of a sm kill team felt more achievable
OhhH
Hmm
if pathfinders i think it would be kitbashing your own minor xenos into each class
unit what ever
I think I'll kitbash a new phobos team, using reivers and an eliminator
get within 3 inches of it and you take a mortal wound
Phobos marines 🤢
Nice job
Very nice
Friend and I are doing Mini Warhammer! Not quite Epic, but jus 40k, and smaller!
How do they look in titanicus terrain?
All I can imagine is that high pitched squeaky voice that is always used with miniaturized people yelling, 'For the Emperor!'
im going to be kitbashing them with some stormcast parts so hopefully they dont look too much like marines when I am done with them
