[storm jungle]

Space Marines are Master Chief but paintable

[viral halo]

Stormcast Eternals are order chaos warriors

so true

[outer wave]

Ohhhh

[viral halo]

Glad I could help

[green loom]

We got Hedonites regardless and I am quite happy

Also Stormcast have like

Minor stakes with them

And actual characters

[rocky gale]

The whole "Slaanesh is being replaced" thing was just meme lore that people came up with because "GW's getting woke and removing all the sex"

[green loom]

They're also stupid dark

[coarse pumice]

it's left that archaon model looking incomplete though

[storm jungle]

Its good looking either way

[coarse pumice]

and they're not going to revise it for a while

[storm jungle]

this is why I hate WHF fans btw

[viral halo]

Man I grew up on WHFB and I know this is my opinion but you gotta be crazy not to like that Archaon

[storm jungle]

^

[viral halo]

shit is an epic centerpiece for one of the most epic bad guys ever

Or chaos's mary sue depending on how you look at it

I mean look at how sick the new Belakor model is

nobody ever talks about his WHFB model

[forest orbit]

Half the things Posei does is like post shit from the 1920's so it comes with the package

[viral halo]

and how he died to a skink dropping a rock on it

[green loom]

Archaon is just the amazing atheist on his actual villain arch

[coarse pumice]

the belakor is nice

[viral halo]

I have an entire WHFB DE army and every day I wait to see when the new dark elves will drop for AOS

[green loom]

"KILL GODS, MURDER GODS, EAT GODS, BEAT GODS TO DEATH"

[forest orbit]

Anything better than anything The Old World is getting rn

[coarse pumice]

i actually don't like the archaon character, even in FB

[forest orbit]

damn

the bad takes just keep piling

[green loom]

Old world is semi nice so far

[forest orbit]

The minis tho 💀

[coarse pumice]

the model looked good though

[storm jungle]

jesus christ

it didnt lmao

[green loom]

People did want them back

[storm jungle]

Yeah I was gonna say

old world fans are like

legit brainwashed man children

[green loom]

I mean I do like some of them

[storm jungle]

they buy these ugly models in droves

[forest orbit]

LMAO

[green loom]

Also the new stuff they're making is really nice

That new dwarf thane is

[storm jungle]

1 new model for 20 shitty recycled ones

[coarse pumice]

the archaon was a classic

[green loom]

It's actually 4 new models 🙄

[forest orbit]

alright grandpa

lets take you to bed

[coarse pumice]

this one

not the 5th edition one

[forest orbit]

yeah we know

you posted it

literally 5m ago

[rocky gale]

I can honestly say that as someone who grew up looking at WHFB and always dreamed of one day having a Bretonnian army, I am not touching Old World with a 10ft pole.

[coarse pumice]

i actually can't believe anyone can say that looks bad

[viral halo]

I enjoy my old world minis cause they bring me childhood nostalgia

[storm jungle]

Its na old mini

so its kinda outdated

[forest orbit]

^

GW sculpting came far since then

its just a generic guy on a horse

you are just incredibly nostalgic lol

[storm jungle]

Yeah its really not that impressive

most normal cavalry lords from AoS stomp it to oblivion

[forest orbit]

YUP

Now thats a good mini

looks better than most CSM minis too honestly 💀

[storm jungle]

Damn 💀

[forest orbit]

yeah I said it

[coarse pumice]

i like that one but i wouldn't say it was much better

[storm jungle]

god

[forest orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/vermintide-zealot-pain-gif-25557240

[forest orbit]

Holy shit

[coarse pumice]

this one's a laugh though

[forest orbit]

STOP IT

[coarse pumice]

the original archaon

[forest orbit]

you are the type of guy to say this is a good mini

[viral halo]

they have charm

[coarse pumice]

it's cute but it's not near as good as the 6th ed one

[forest orbit]

they are both pretty bad

[coarse pumice]

What's wrong with the 6th ed one?

[forest orbit]

I literally said it like 3 times already

its just generic

[storm jungle]

Its fine for what it is but yeah its nothing special

I just feel like your rose-tinted glasses are kind of overwhelming it

[coarse pumice]

the dynamism of the pose is fantastic, it has details where it's needed and isn't overly greebled

[forest orbit]

Damn

a generic bonaparte-esque horse rising pose with the rider posing his sword forward

[storm jungle]

Almost like they didn't have the technology at the time or something.

[arctic talon]

Tbf

Cities of sigmar literally was all warhammer fantasy stuff

Except for like 2 named characters

[spring cairn]

not landsknetch enough

[storm jungle]

Overrated af

[storm jungle]

Also this yeah

i really dont get why people think the raven knight was the first mini to do this still

[arctic talon]

Actually I’m like a quarter lying ig

Since there was some underworlds stuff

Issue being it’s fucking underworlds

[storm jungle]

At first 95% of it was WHF

lol

[arctic talon]

And GW somehow invented a live service tabletop game

[storm jungle]

they thankfully got rid of all that shit

[arctic talon]

By accident

Lol

[storm jungle]

Most do is my point lol

[coarse pumice]

I used to play underworlds

[arctic talon]

Underworlds is well balanced

Shame so much OOP stuff

[coarse pumice]

they changed the card rules though (I think?) so I don't know what I can actually use

I have the skeleton and ghosts teams

I painted my friend's mushroom troll, which was a great mini

[arctic talon]

Honestly I’ve never looked at underworlds the game

Just the minis

[coarse pumice]

mollog's mob

#40k-minis-and-armies message

I dropped a pic of them there

[arctic talon]

They look great

[viral halo]

bring it back

High Elves and Dark Elves had the most modern of the WHFB models iirc

cause they got an update in 6e or 7e?

[coarse pumice]

there was a mix

[viral halo]

My Dark Elf battalion box is like a prized possession

still has the shrink wrap on it

[green loom]

If I get White Lions some day I will be happy

[coarse pumice]

HE and DE were mostly updated to have no more 5th ed stuff

with some new stuff in 8th

Wood Elves got a complete range rehaul in 6th, with some additions in 8th

I thought some of the newer WE stuff went into AOS but it's only the tree units still around

[viral halo]

Always mad I lost a bid on 4 boxes of them new

I bid like 300 USD and someone bid 325

[green loom]

Anger

[viral halo]

Quite enjoying the Archaon advancement

[green loom]

I learned how to use multiply layers

So now my shading is better and a breeze

Turns out I'm a total moron and have been rendering shadows into everything this entire time

[viral halo]

As a total moron myself with no artistic ability outside of mini painting I commend your efforts

[green loom]

In painting terms, think of it like not using washes whatsoever and manually adding in black shadows

[coarse pumice]

it looks really good

[arctic talon]

It’s returning for the old world at least

[coarse pumice]

yeah, they're currently in limbo between army re-releases so I'll wait until then

[green loom]

They were around as The Wanderers for a while

[arctic talon]

who still exist lore wise as well in AoS lol

[coarse pumice]

no 3rd party has really nailed wardancers for me (I liked one which went in a very different direction), and the GW ones (apart from maybe the shadow dancer) don't quite live up to the artwork

[outer wave]

Okay so what if we put Stormcast Eternals.... but in 40k?

I think that would be pretty freaking cool tbh fr fr

[arctic talon]

They wouldn't work in the context of 40k with how the warp works tbf

souls sort of just

disappear

also Stormcast wouldn't really fit the setting either ironically imo

they're far too hopeful

[outer wave]

Dont they get sucked into the mouths of the gods or do they just sort of wander around until a warp gale blows them into a gaping maw of chaos?

[arctic talon]

They pretty much disintegrate on contact

unless its a strong soul in which that case enjoy getting tortured to death by a daemon

[outer wave]

Now what about giants.... but in 40k, hmm?

[misty brook]

Just curious. But how dangerous is the Alpha Pariah from the Warhammer 40k Inquisitor Martyr game?

[arctic talon]

Would make pretty much any psyker and most normal people in their presence want to kill themselves

[green loom]

It's dangerous

[versed ledge]

Hey, this is fake, right?

[outer wave]

No

[kind violet]

Holy shit it is real if im not dumb

[queen laurel]

yeah no man it's real

[nocturne crest]

Where is the ork?

They added a furry skin to the game. Surely they could have added an Orc or a Necron.

[arctic talon]

The great horned rat finally got accepted as a full chaos god by archaeon lol

[queen laurel]

Only took like what

a few editions

[arctic talon]

Yeah

Mark of The Great Horned Rat

incoming lol

[queen laurel]

so can the non rats worship the cheese god

[orchid lark]

They become man-rats

[coarse pumice]

as funny as it is, the thing about the big 4 is they're meant to represent (some extreme) some broad, somewhat open concept of experience

like the raw emotion, but also more, the concept of it

my issue with the GHR is it's both specific to one thing (Skaven, rats), and it's facets have some overlaop with the big 4

they could expand on it though

because in a way, this is like a throwback to 3rd edition Fantasy or earlier

where they seemed less 'fundamental' for lack of a better term

[coarse pumice]

when did he get to decide lol? though I don't really like him as a character that much, he's still miles better than Abaddon the Despoiler mind you

[arctic talon]

He didn’t the other chaos gods already counted him as one lol, archeon just hates the great horned rat lol

[coarse pumice]

to be fair, who doesn't? especially if he had to fight skaven during 7th and 8th edition

in all the games I played against my friend's skaven, I never managed to use Infernal Gateway to instant kill his screaming bell or hellpit abomination

but in the first ever game against his ogres, I got it against his massive ogre general unit

[arctic talon]

I think some of the skaven like him

[coarse pumice]

skaven liking other skaven? unpossible!

[chrome tendon]

How do you fight Chaos Psykers? This made think about it because of Darktide's Psyker when using Brain Burst against enemies.

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if Vashtorr will get to ascend to a chaos god at some point.

[rocky gale]

Same way the Imperium fights most things

But there are also special anti psyker weapons available for specialist forces like Inquisitors and Sororitas

[chrome tendon]

I mean, wouldn't an entire army of Psykers be able to exterminate everyone non-Psyker?

[rocky gale]

Such as the Condemndor Boltgun

[storm jungle]

Shoot it until it dies or gets weak enough or use anti-psyker weapons / experts

[storm jungle]

Psykers are as much of a threat to each other and everyone else

you dont juse use magic powers in 40k as a human and get away with it

[queen laurel]

That much psychic energy gathering in an area is going to light up and attract a lot of demons

[storm jungle]

Also its the same as how Voldemort wont survive a 50.cal bullet he wont see thats about to hit him

[rocky gale]

Yea most regular human Psykers might have some flashy powers, but they still die when you shoot them enough

[queen laurel]

yeah unless they are a biomancer that somehow hardened their muscles enough to match adamantium they're going to die with a well placed bullet

[storm jungle]

^

To quote the classic

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face

the Emperor thought he could take on Horus with his own psychic prowess before he smashed his dad's face in with a mace and he entirely had to rely on cheap tricks to win the fight on the climax of the Siege

[queen laurel]

psyker: I have unlimited power!

the Sniper about to dome him https://youtu.be/dFOqaUmt5sY?si=axcV8KiUPEyaNhSS

[storm jungle]

man Kai's entrance is still fucking baller

[orchid lark]

Angron zooted up on chaos magics also got his face punched in by a man with angel wings

Raw Strength beats magic

Is a fact

[queen laurel]

I love when characters unnecessarily drag their weapons on the ground to create sparks

[storm jungle]

Yep, Angron was all brawn during that entire fight and Sanguinius came ontop from combat prowess

even if the finishing move was dumb af

[orchid lark]

40k proves no matter how much extra help you get, one punch to your face is sometimes just enough

[queen laurel]

you know what they say you don't have to be fancy with it if it works

[orchid lark]

Like in the eisenhorn novel where the Kasrkin lieutenant just tackled a daemonhost to get an advantage

[nocturne crest]

So how long until the Great Horned Rat appears in 40k?

[storm jungle]

Never.

Next question.

[river walrus]

Movie still ecist?

Exist

Can Ulgo play in movie?

Ogryn be actors?

Ogryn movies exist?

Who is best paid ogryn actor?

Why is ogryn?

Google not working... sad day

Ogryn feet

[green loom]

Many psyker in one place will eventually end with the following

[river walrus]

Oh this more interesting

[green loom]

Singular psykers have a habit of exploding/drawing daemons to them
Throwing a ton in one place is like advertising an all you can eat buffet with a massive bonfire

Also place your bets folks, is this going to be pointless bait garbage?

[rocky gale]

Witchbringer handles the topic of the Imperium fighting lots of Chaos Psykers or Witches and it really is pretty much just "Shoot them" in most cases.

[green loom]

Comments

[river walrus]

Is simple plan no?

[green loom]

"Horus heresy got nothing!"

[river walrus]

Huh?

[green loom]

Mech army teased
"Big chaos reveal!"
Literally just two models

[coarse pumice]

There was one dude right?

[green loom]

Two new HQs

Foot and jump pack lord

They look kinda freaky

[coarse pumice]

He’s already in, he’s ||the emperor||

[green loom]

So true bestie

[nocturne crest]

Which 1st founding chapter would you remove from the setting in exchange for their successor taking their place as the main?

[coarse pumice]

The symbolic leader of the 12 rulers, a council of 13 if you may.

[coarse pumice]

Like lore change or focus change?

Replaced as in the original never existed?

Or just have emphasis on and codex instead of the original?

[nocturne crest]

How about an answer for each one?

[rocky gale]

Remove Space Wolves from the setting, don't replace them with anything. Just remove them.

[coarse pumice]

Black Templars arguably already are

They are a successor but have divergence and are big enough to get a codex basically

[nocturne crest]

Imagine losing the Iron Hands lore wise, only for the Red Talons to take their place as the cyborg space marine faction.

[coarse pumice]

While IF is a vanilla offering

[green loom]

BT have more characters than Fists

[shadow plover]

Just do Crimson Fists instead

[coarse pumice]

Blood Angels and Flesh Eaters were original rogue trader chapters, so it would have just been a change on which chapter they picked to focus on in those WD articles and it would all be different, yet exactly the same

[nocturne crest]

Another example would be the lost of the blood angels and the flesh tearers end up becoming the main chapter that represents for sons of Sanguinius.

[rocky gale]

Yea I stopped watching his videos a long time ago because every video was titled "GW's biggest mistake" or "GW has really messed up this time" or "GW has ruined this game" and then after the first 30 seconds of the video says "Actually it's not that bad, it's actually pretty good"

[nocturne crest]

Tbh, I kind of want to see the Iron Hands get marines that are have gone through the Keys of Hel.

[rose thorn]

i just dont listen to youtubers opinions anymore

[green loom]

"This model is the worst thing ever"

[coarse pumice]

If I were to do a big change, I would rename all founding legions, and just make all the existing ones various chapters where the original legions were lost to time

[storm jungle]

Thats an awful idea oof

and like just straight up Rogue Trader nostalgia YEET

[coarse pumice]

De-Abnett

[rocky gale]

If I was given control of 40k lore I would swap the first letters of the names of each of the Founding Legions

[celest dome]

I'd delete 2 Legion and create the Lost and the Damned back in its place

[coarse pumice]

Legion of the Damned you mean?

[green loom]

No

The general traitor faction

[queen laurel]

i will just repeatedly post that the imperium are bad guys if I was the creator of 40k

[rocky gale]

Fmperial Iists, Wpace Solfs, Cmperors Ehildren

[coarse pumice]

Like from Realm of Chaos from rogue trader?

[storm jungle]

bruh no

CAN YOU STICK YOUR HEAD

OUT OF THE FUCKING 80'S

FOR ONE GODDAMN MINUTE

[celest dome]

Meant the 2 lost Primarch stuff, forgot how they're usually called

[coarse pumice]

It’s literally what was suggested

[celest dome]

the forgotten and the purged

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-attacking-man-face-gif-20349165

[celest dome]

Tbh if I had the commands of GW I would probably not even touch 40k

[coarse pumice]

Being real

[celest dome]

AoS would take all of my attention

[coarse pumice]

I’d make the exodites real

[queen laurel]

breaking news AOS becomes GW #1 franchise

[coarse pumice]

And force them to make bigger and bigger dinosaurs

[celest dome]

Gotta make some video games licencing deals

[queen laurel]

You better make an actual RTS or I will feed you to a camel

[celest dome]

And a Kislevite and Bretonnian faction

[celest dome]

I was thinking of a tide game or For Honour

[storm jungle]

the Exodites not being a thing is probably one of the greatest showcases of laziness on GW's part. They had rules in the past and are literally just fucking wood elves in sci-fi but they just don't want to make minis or an army for them lol

[queen laurel]

You have disappointed me but continue

[celest dome]

No no no, I'll also plan the real rts too

[rocky gale]

As an apology to Drukhari fans getting shafted constantly, for an entire year the only 40k releases would be new Drukhari models.

[queen laurel]

Very well you have avoided being fed to the camels

[coarse pumice]

I’d like a good RTS just to have a good rts tbh

[celest dome]

Both as a Starcraft type of Rts and pre planning Total War AoS

[nocturne crest]

Give me the imperium's version of plague marines GW.

[orchid lark]

I like to think Vashtorr is the Great Horned Rat for 40k, has horns, kinda ratty looking, and is pretty great.

[versed ledge]

Wouldn't it just be easier for them to modify existing ranger models and call them exodites?

[storm jungle]

no because exodites arent rangers lol

They are more or less tribal-mormon Eldar

[orchid lark]

grilled mormons...

[nocturne crest]

NGL, but the thought of Eldar power rangers came to mind just now.

[coarse pumice]

They’re dino ranchers

[orchid lark]

titan only army

[nocturne crest]

Does that mean the Silent King is Rita Repulsa?

[coarse pumice]

They usually ride smaller, more raptor like mounts

[rocky gale]

With how GW has been doing things recently, I imagine if they were going to do Exodites it would probably start as a Killteam box to gauge interest and then eventually become an Army Box, similar to how the Kroot were.

[storm jungle]

^

Its 100% gonna happen at some point

KT serves as an excellent testing-water for miniature interest before GW puts full effort into them, its an ingenius platform and branch admittedly

[queen laurel]

Like I said man if the elder are lucky the psychosexual need of GW to dunk on them is quite strong

[storm jungle]

💀

[queen laurel]

When was the last time you have heard of eldar being quite competent

Like a lot of the media they are in nowadays just grabs them by the neck and rapidly slams them to the floor

[storm jungle]

Been quite awhile tbh

[coarse pumice]

Maybe revenge for Eldar slamming them in games over the years

[elder blade]

do you guys know what's the phrase a lot of the cultists say when dying?

[orchid lark]

for kayooss

[elder blade]

sorry i meant in the game

[storm jungle]

They say quite a few death quotes

anyone you can think of rn?

[elder blade]

they say "the rot take you" and then something something nurgle

not sure what it is tho

[spring cairn]

i've heard worth it once

[coarse pumice]

What about? ‘Aaaaaah aaaah aaaaaaaaaargh!!!!’

[queen laurel]

oh yeah they were quite the force to be reckoned with in the table top I heard

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if GW will make a Gue'vesa killteam.

[storm jungle]

Basically its just archaic ways of saying "FUCK YOU I HOPE YOU DIE!"

Like "The rot take you!" is just their fancy Nurgle way of saying they hope you die as you kill them

the others are them thanking Nurgle as they die

with shit like "NURGLE... MY SOUL IS YOURS"

etc

[spring cairn]

they won't, because it would be too awesome

[storm jungle]

theres also things like uh

"May these wounds putrify..." as they die

saying they hope their wounds fester and rot since its Nurgle's thing

[nocturne crest]

But seeing how GW did brood brothers as a Killteam, you can't rule it out.

[elder blade]

apparently only dreg shooters say the phrase im looking for

[storm jungle]

Yeah Bruisers/Shooters got their own lines

they got like 2-3 VAs in-between each other

[elder blade]

hmm it says something like "mutash val!! nuuuuurgle!!"

[coarse pumice]

Oh the darktide ones - I recall some of the dregs have rural sounding accents

Has anyone extracted / mined the voices?

[pine wedge]

there are some on youtube

idk if that guy did basic units too

but definitely some elite enemies

[elder blade]

there is a guy called hypnotic but he didn't do dreg basic guys

[spring cairn]

they say stuff like " stop right there" or "halt, you're not supposed to be here" when they spot a player

(dreg bruisers)

[storm jungle]

Its them speaking dark tongue

https://warhammer-40k-darktide.fandom.com/wiki/Cult_of_Admonition_(dregs)#Dark_Tongue_Translations

this page has a few translations since one of the authors here confirmed all the stuff they say has actual meanings

[elder blade]

nice

[coarse pumice]

Aha that explains it

[elder blade]

it's the Mu'Taash'Vaagh Nurgle one

[storm jungle]

Yep-yep

[thorn zenith]

I also found it interesting that dreg gunners use a bit of fancy language like thou, before, and whelp

[rocky gale]

Is "Before" fancy?

[thorn zenith]

context: "Thou will fall before me"

maybe its because english isnt my first language but it does come off a bit fancy-ey

[burnt maple]

Based.

[storm jungle]

LMAO

Saving that one

[shadow plover]

people like that are so silly, grimdark is nothing without the very important sliver of hope lingering about

[green loom]

How'd you get ahold of my cat

[green loom]

These are the people Frank Herbert was worried about

[outer wave]

Its why I think Battletech is a better example of a grimdark setting than 40k in some aspects tbh

Many of the in-universe issues are done by people with good intentions that dont ultimately pan out

[green loom]

Isn't one of the characters a full on precog who can see the shit about to go down

[rose thorn]

these memes get more and more accurate every time

[outer wave]

I don't think so? I think the closest kinds of people that get to precognition shit would be the gene spliced babies from the clanners.

And even then I don't think it goes that hard for them

[green loom]

creepy

[outer wave]

Nah he seems friendly and not someone that would just use your soul as a metaphorical workhorse

[rose thorn]

daddy bones uwu

[rocky gale]

[rose thorn]

i refuse to become a chaingrasp for old bones

i have no clue what followers who actually like nagash gets tbh

[lavish flint]

Which is why I preferred fantasy over 40k at least hope was always there, and you could live a relatively uneventful life.

[green loom]

Maybe not always

[thorn zenith]

id attribute this to imperium fanwank and how its trendy to hate on tau

[orchid lark]

Its pretty much always the “trendy to hate on tau” thing

Its a good test to see how involved a person is with the hobby in my opinion

Tau is pretty cool

Not Dark Eldar cool, but unfortunately for us GW has kinda just slowly taking away all the Dark Eldar stuff away

[green loom]

There's a few 40k Litmus tests

Asking about Lamenters, Salamanders, Yvraine/Guilliman/Ultramarines typically also works

[orchid lark]

Pretty much

[celest dome]

So the venom spitting of SM. Is it ever used in the books ?

[orchid lark]

Yes

Rafen used his acidic spit to weaken the hinges/locks of his cell on Fabius Biles weird tyranid island

Its in either Red Fury or Black Tide

[arctic talon]

Quite a lot

But it’s strength is dependent on what the plot demands

But usually it’s to weaken stuff or blind people

[queen laurel]

Straight up from being unable to melt paper to being a lot stronger than Xenomorph acid

[green loom]

Some night lord uses it to troll the DA at one point

Can't remember if it was Talos or Sev

[storm jungle]

Yeah its very much an ability that exists but is only used when its convenient or if the writer remembers it.

[queen laurel]

unless they make a space marine chapter that has a specialized helmet that allows them to spit a mutated version of the acid strong enough to melt through Ferrocrete and adamantium that is going to be sadly the case

I'm surprised I haven't even heard of a chapter that has a mutated form of acid spit

[celest dome]

Promethium spit for a Salamander chapter

Or one that replace them for a noise cannon type of thing for a EC

[orchid lark]

We already have reiver masks

Also that means 3 factions already have weaponized screams

No wait, 4, i think the tyranids have weaponized screams

[storm jungle]

Space Marines not steal the gimmicks of other factions challenge: Impossible

[orchid lark]

Lore Accuracy is too good

Finally all those times eating their enemies they learn something

[storm jungle]

They should eat my a-

[orchid lark]

Now they should eat a lot of Orkz and realise they can activate the human Waagh (Faith) and be more stronger

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pQZ3mTAoWk

[acoustic rock]

I'm not arguing, just trying to understand what Ederius is talking about
But sure, I'll fuck off

[forest orbit]

Take a chill pill lol

[outer wave]

Powerful stanced figure

[green loom]

He's a wrestler too lol

[acoustic rock]

Seems I've unwittingly touched on a sensitive subject.

Am I in trouble?

[forest orbit]

All she said is to just not argue in here lol

[acoustic rock]

again, wasn't arguing. Kinda am now though lol

just a teeny bit

[outer wave]

Man this is bloody awkward

[queen laurel]

You better get used to this awkwardness because this is going to happen a lot

[green loom]

https://tenor.com/view/unico-uni-hawaiian-silly-cute-cat-gif-15918255778429613250

[outer wave]

Its not Vivid so I guess its an improvement there

[queen laurel]

Very much

Vivid is basically on the top running of the most annoying regulars here

He's very close to guardsman ghost which is an accomplishment

[acoustic rock]

Vivid is my friend, he stood up for me once when people were being booli

[green loom]

Nah I wouldn't say that

Ghost was a very special case

[outer wave]

I remember Ghost

[queen laurel]

Yeah that guy is another level of nut case

[outer wave]

Felt a lil bad when his whole ass paragraph of an answer to someone was ignored but he was being prudish about it

[queen laurel]

But vivid is basically second only to him

[queen laurel]

He has the temper of a bull seeing the movement of cloth

[outer wave]

Yeah his temper was awful

[acoustic rock]

Wait, people think I was being agro?

[queen laurel]

he would immediately erupt in a rage filled paragraph typing if he is angry

[green loom]

Sometimes you need a paragraph but writing 5 paragraphs about something you're entirely ignorant on then refusing any refutation is yeah

[green loom]

No?

[queen laurel]

Mate you just posted ai art which is not allowed in the server

[acoustic rock]

Yeah I get that now, but you're the first person to point that out to me without me having to DM and ask people

[queen laurel]

Did you not read the server rules

[acoustic rock]

I read a lot of different rules in a lot of differen servers

but in the moment, I simply didn't know

[queen laurel]

But not this one?

[acoustic rock]

Yes this one. When I joined. Can probably check to see when that was

🤷‍♂️

[queen laurel]

Just don't do it again lord knows i have seen too much people posting ai art

Every people in the server practically hates ai art

[outer wave]

People post AI art in this server? Thought that shit died out with the AI art discussions

[queen laurel]

There are still some from time to time

[celest dome]

Ai art isn't dead yet

[outer wave]

It will be dead soon

When I get my hands on it

[celest dome]

Doubtful

[queen laurel]

people are sure a s*** trying to kill it

They even develop the specialized program that poisons artworks so that it doesn't get copied by ai

[celest dome]

Good

[outer wave]

I dont think Ive seen that in action yet

[acoustic rock]

I posted one, and it was deleted, and Ederius said something which I wasn't sure the meaning of.
So I was playfully defensive but also asking about it.
Then I guess everyone hated that

Lesson learned, hurray

[acoustic rock]

I guess I just wish people would be more direct

[outer wave]

Its hard to tell when someone's being playful or straight up unironically asking for an apology in text

[acoustic rock]

Yeah fair.

[queen laurel]

The amount of sarcastic annoying people we meet here doesn't make it any better

[outer wave]

Very cool!

Mhmmm

[acoustic rock]

Got it, noted.
I will try to be less sarcastic. No promises about annoyance though.
To a certain extent that's out of my hands

I yam who I yam

[queen laurel]

You're close with vivid?

[green loom]

I'll walk back on my annoyance a bit
Dislike AI gen

[acoustic rock]

They seem nice, is all.
There was a bit of confusion at one point where people were blasting me (genuinely unfairly), but Vivid had my back till Hank stepped in and told them to calm down

[queen laurel]

Yeah vivid is a weirdo here

Like every single lore chat regular

Absolutely despises him

[acoustic rock]

welp, so far so good on my account

lol okay

[queen laurel]

I'm going to message you something all right

[acoustic rock]

uh sure

[queen laurel]

You received it yes

[acoustic rock]

recieved and understood

[crisp heath]

I don't dislike Vivid 😦

Vivid seems like a sweetie

[rocky gale]

Yea, they just need to chill a bit.

[queen laurel]

Yeah they are just a bit unhinged and have a skull thicker than an ferrocrete reinforced adamantium plated wall

[acoustic rock]

What if, everything you said to me, I will take to heart.
But in return, you gotta soften up on Vivid... just a teenyweeny bit

🤏

[queen laurel]

If you stop being an annoying piece of runt maybe

[acoustic rock]

lol deal

[queen laurel]

The thing is i really cannot soften up with vivid

Next thing you know i'm talking about how this thing is cool and he will bring up how the cold war affecting the trade of silk candy inspired the warhammer 40k fascist community

[acoustic rock]

[queen laurel]

It's not fun to deal with

[acoustic rock]

Sorry for laughing

[celest dome]

I don't mind Vivid. They're just strange, there are other people that I find worse

[queen laurel]

That honor definitely belongs to guardsman ghost

[acoustic rock]

Yer as long as he's not being a butt to people

[queen laurel]

As much as vivid is a bit thick headed

He is nothing compared to ghost

[celest dome]

I'm afraid I do not remember Guardsman ghost

[queen laurel]

The guy that writes paragraphs longer than a gloriana class ship

[celest dome]

Duylion atm is the one that I find the most grating

[celest dome]

Oh those I always skip

[queen laurel]

Yeah trying to talk to him was like trying to finish a yakuza mini game

[outer wave]

Oh him, yeah he's quite loud

[queen laurel]

It's f****** tedious

[acoustic rock]

Oh is he the Darktide addict in content withdrawal?

[outer wave]

The one screaming about wanting battlepasses and shit in #general-chat yes

[queen laurel]

Ah

He's one of those guys

[acoustic rock]

Havn't seen mention of the battlepass, but might be the same guy who talks in all caps begging fatshark for updates

[outer wave]

Yeah one of those guys

Actually that is the guy

[acoustic rock]

lol, poor lil fella

[outer wave]

The one in caps going "NEXT UPDATE IS GOING TO SO BE SOO COOL I NEED BATTLEPASSES!!"

[acoustic rock]

right

[queen laurel]

I bet you he's the type of person to say overwatch 2 is peak gaming

[outer wave]

LMAO

[acoustic rock]

do people actually say that?

[queen laurel]

Only the ones that live in a mental asylum

[acoustic rock]

Peak gaming is clearly CtD every 15 - 20 minutes playing Helldivers 2

[forest orbit]

My favorite part of HD2 is how I upgraded my PC and can literally play Darktide on High/Ultra but HD2 still runs like dogshit and constantly crashes

[acoustic rock]

Oh yeah, that too

And yet... the sweet symphony of Cup of Liber-Tea still calls me to action

[green loom]

I played SWTOr like that for a few years

[green loom]

I can't play darktide anymore

[wintry scarab]

I just watched the new aos cinematic and the quality is leagues better than the 40k 10th edition one. 😦

Dk if it was the same team, but it looked like that one good looking one on warhammer netflix

[green loom]

all 3 of these were the same people yes

You can really tell when it's looking at the City

Also the Freeguilders use the face models of the guard i'm pretty sure

No surprise it's better, they had an extra year to work on it more or less

Without the trouble of doing Pariah Nexus and other cinematics at the same time

[celest dome]

Is it really a safe way to tell, when we know that they use models/assets from other places (Plaugryn in the Knight one)

[green loom]

They didn't animate Broken Lance

That's the dude who did Iron Within

[hasty oyster]

mreow

[green loom]

In this case, they're using human models they already made, dressed in different gear

Because they show up for like 3 seconds

Eitherway the stormcast are all new stuff

Plus the rats

We know the same people do the AoS/40k cinematics so it's inherently a safe bet

[wintry scarab]

I just rewatched the 10th edition trailer. Holy hell, its sound design is awful. Especially compared to the aos one.

[celest dome]

As always AoS is winning

[green loom]

Real

Stormcast in their style look way better than marines

[wintry scarab]

What, compared to the one from the show thing?

[green loom]

The way they animate marines/their 3d models for marines are lot worse/goofier than their stormcast

[celest dome]

I think it's cause while the armour isn't really feasible, it still somewhat look like it's possible, while SM ones doesn't as much

[green loom]

it doesn't help that they give marines crazily oversized boots

Also the texturing is way better

[celest dome]

Tbh I prefer the Starcraft SM

[green loom]

Well they're animated nicely

[wintry scarab]

Yeah, The clips of the salamander i saw, he looked goofy af. Im pretty sure they just take the models and make the animation a 1 to 1 match or something. Because he had some baby proportions. Armour wise at least.

[green loom]

https://tenor.com/view/starcraft-marines-nuke-wings-of-liberty-starcraft2-gif-22765673

[green loom]

It's not a 1 to 1 match to the models tbh

[wintry scarab]

You sure? I can totally imagine GW saying something along the lines of "make them look like the models" to the designers. I cant think of another reason for it.

[green loom]

Oh I mean yeah because that's their design lol

They just aren't 1 to 1

Dif proportions and stuff

[crisp heath]

Why didn’t big E tell his sons he was making a highway, is he stupid?

I don’t see how that could be taken any way but good

[wintry scarab]

Idk. I remain unconvinced. Space marine 2 does it well. They take the design and translate it to a realistic proportions. Thats why they dont have the same goofy feel as the show ones. This captains belt is a perfect example. Its overly large on the model and the same size on the trailer. In my eyes the proportions are close to 1 to 1 with the minis.

[crisp heath]

Also are there any blank space marines?

[wintry scarab]

I might be wrong but yeah. I dont see why there cant be. I think custodes are blanks as well. Again not sure though.

[green loom]

yes

[green loom]

no

[green loom]

no

[green loom]

In this particular example the chestpiece is thinner on the front

[wintry scarab]

I still dont see it ngl. But i will say my original point was a bit dumb. The buckle is a central detail so i guess they couldnt really make it smaller without it looking odd, and other details have been changed in scale to fit better.

[celest dome]

Sister of Silence are

[dusk patrol]

They aren't and they can't be. For both.

Geneseed has an inherent psychic element to it, the closest we get are the Exorcists who are "soulless"

There's also the Grey Knight Ferrymen but we ignore them because they are completely unexplained and appeared once in a book like 12 years ago and never since.

[dusk patrol]

I don't think its the best but I'm also gonna be real.

I never even thought of or noticed the belt buckle before this.

[wintry scarab]

Nah, i wasnt saying its bad or anything, i was just trying to use it as an example. I like the belt being goofy big 🙂

[crisp heath]

Are custodes still being created or are they like an irreplaceable soldier at this point?

[green loom]

They're still being made

They have a whole population of artificer families

[storm jungle]

I really need to watch this damn anime at some point

Shes fucking everywhere

[kind violet]

[rose thorn]

what is that stuffed doll lookin thign

[outer wave]

Its really good, would recommend if you want a nice, cozy, yet emotional watch. For something thats also fantasy but more on the comedy side, I recommend Dungeon Meshi instead.

Both very good

[coarse pumice]

I think it’s just a doll, it doesn’t have the Fumo look to be a Fumo

[rose thorn]

i dont even know what a fumo is

[coarse pumice]

these

i think that one is reasonably close but not quite one

[burnt maple]

Said the same thing. Did not regret a second.

[crisp heath]

How do the greatest of 40k psykers compare to the greatest of warhammer wizards?

[unborn phoenix]

Technically greatest psyker would be the emperor and kinda squashes everyone's own power just by being nearby

[sacred ginkgo]

Vaporize the entire surface of the old world on 40k's end

[crisp heath]

Power creep going crazy after 40k years

Devs have lost their mind

[grizzled lotus]

What anime is that?

[green loom]

Last action hero

(ok it's actually Frieren: Beyond Journey's End iirc)

[outer wave]

It is Frieren

[green loom]

Frieren DN

[outer wave]

I am a local weeb I can answer most if not many if not some questions concerning Japanese cartoons

[grizzled lotus]

Thank you

[crisp heath]

40k fan AND a Weeb? Bro pick a struggle damn

[outer wave]

I dont pick either, I pick them all

[rose thorn]

This model is a hazard to children

[queen laurel]

He looks like that one scary uncle that shows up in the family gathering like once a year

[rose thorn]

More like once a decade

[queen laurel]

that is true

[rose thorn]

He eats the souls of children

[queen laurel]

after skinning them

[outer wave]

He's kinda cool

[rose thorn]

Old world fans pls just use AOS models don’t buy this garbage

[queen laurel]

you literally have more options if the war stomper doesn't fancy your taste

[rose thorn]

FR

[queen laurel]

like look at this thing and old world fans call this peak

that's supposed to be Big'uns

[arctic talon]

Unless we count End Times Wizards, Psykers in 40k generally are way stronger

[celest dome]

Are they, or is it just bigger sample size with following the higher tiers only

Like most Psyker in 40k are barely able to light a candle

[orchid lark]

Larger sample size

[arctic talon]

larger sample size

the average mage blows the average psyker out of the water

tbh

[rose thorn]

Honestly it just depends on how much magic crack rocks your AOS wizard has

[arctic talon]

I'm not including AoS mages

[rose thorn]

Oh okay

[orchid lark]

Theres more things in 40k to further strengthen or allow a psyker to maintain power

[arctic talon]

Since the questio nwas WHF

I'd assume

if we count AoS

then uh AoS wins

and its not even close lol

[rose thorn]

“Ah, today I will resurrect a small country of zombies”

[arctic talon]

"ah yes today I will literally kill all life across every realm"

[queen laurel]

https://youtu.be/X4nj8OvrPE0?si=aYa91Z5d9WbmufuK

The free Guild mercenary watching his entire platoon get turned into pancakes by a giant green foot

[rose thorn]

“Ah yes, today I will open a hole to drain an ocean.”

[orchid lark]

AoS apocalyptic magic is commonplace, 40k Apocalyptic scenarios are commonplace

[rose thorn]

This is also any hollowheart soldier seeing an Ally wizard do literally anything

[orchid lark]

Both equally bad

[arctic talon]

lmao

[rose thorn]

I love the fact that Ghur realmstone is literally a living creature is amaizng

[queen laurel]

there is also the fact that the realm itself is probably a giant living creature

[rose thorn]

It just fucking does this

[rose thorn]

It is literally eating it self

[queen laurel]

yeah it's like skull island but like 100% worse

[arctic talon]

that one City of Sigmar built in a "mouth"

💀

[rose thorn]

The city of Vindicarum’s robots are also literally sapient

Mainly because they found the blueprints from the old city

But still

Also isn’t the realms tone of chamon just literlaly the philosopher stone?

[arctic talon]

I think?

[rose thorn]

I know chamon’s rain makes what ever it touch turn to metal which is pretty funny

Some factions like, humans are pretty bothered while apparently Sylvaneth are just, vibing?

Like there’s metal Sylvaneth

[arctic talon]

Azyr, Hysh and like Ulgu are like the least hellish places ngl

actually ulgu is pretty fucking bad

and so is Hysh

[celest dome]

If you stand at the centers they aren't so bad

[rose thorn]

Azyr is cheating it’s literally heaven

[arctic talon]

Ghyran also isn't too bad

nurgle incurions excluded

and horrific sylvaneth child skinning

[queen laurel]

But that's the best part

[rose thorn]

Also hysh is a racial segregated hellscape

[arctic talon]

Yeah which is why I mentioned its pretty fucking bad

[rose thorn]

Veing in the realm too long literally causes madness

To weak minds

[rose thorn]

Oops didn’t see

At least in ulgu you can ahve like, human rights and not go insane

[arctic talon]

I feel like Ulgu has other issues tbf

[queen laurel]

do you think Belthazar would have a seizure attack if he got transported in Chamon

[arctic talon]

lol

No

I think he'd fucking love it lol

[rose thorn]

Like not seeing what will kill you!

[arctic talon]

gelt would love Chamon imo

Balthas Arum is prolly Gelt

maybe

[rose thorn]

Yes I was gonna say

[arctic talon]

We know Settrus isn't Settra

but Arum def seems very gelty

[rose thorn]

I think it was either he was him or he is like, a spirit of Charon, i swear I heard something about there being a great cosmic alchemist

I can’t remember

[arctic talon]

tbh Arum's mount is also called Quicksilver

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[arctic talon]

Also he did the same trick as gelt

with the whole

turning someones money into worthless material

Gelt turned someones gold to lead

Arum turned an entire banks money supply into granite lol

[rose thorn]

Omg there’s copper skin beastmen in chamon

Huh I wonder if they happens to be a batsman that is quite uh, large

In chamon

With copper skin

[arctic talon]

Probably is

lol

[rose thorn]

https://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Gelt_Aurical

Here’s what I was thinking of

It might just be a meme reference

Nothing cosmic my bad

[arctic talon]

that thing seems like it has 0 lore

[rose thorn]

Yea

I remember now someone mentioned the skull and how it could be related to gelt

Since it’s metal skull with silver teeth

Now I just imagine it’s like

[unborn phoenix]

Will something end up beating the bugs?

[arctic talon]

Nids? nids winning kills the setting so the answer is they will never win, but they'll also never lose for good

[unborn phoenix]

I always feel like things that adapt away weakness of don't lose often are a cop out

[orchid lark]

Overspecialize, and you breed weakness

[unborn phoenix]

Only one I give leeway is doomsday from DC he adapts to stuff that kills him but there's clever ways to stop him

Tyranids don't feel like that

Burn them it works oop now they're resistant to fire, use poison it works now they're immune

[queen laurel]

taking out the Hive Fleet is your best shot at killing a tyranid army

[unborn phoenix]

But then another pops up and it begins from the beginning

Would blasting them into the warp solve it?

[arctic talon]

They give up other things for those resistances generally

a good example was when the Tau and Imperium's differing weaponry allowed them to deal with nid hyper adaptation

besides

not all hive fleets adapt super fast either

Hive fleet gorgon is the fastest

and its to its detriment at time

[unborn phoenix]

They give up a resistance for another one?

[arctic talon]

Yes

Or they spread it out

[unborn phoenix]

I thought they stack like elden ring buffs

[oak gulch]

What are the long lasting lore implications of the dripped out man of iron

[dusk patrol]

I would look more into the short term health detriments of my foot burying itself into your ass

[thorn zenith]

Abandon all hope ye who enter here

[fast minnow]

so me and a friend tried to get another friend into 40k

so we primed him on the lore with the help of a visual aid

this is what it looked like by the time we were done

[green loom]

Reading this you should've just linked him grimdank and called it a day

Would be about as correct

[dusk patrol]

I feel like I somehow have a worse understanding of 40k lore after expending brain cells to try to decipher that

[rocky gale]

[thorn zenith]

Sex so brutal dude died like a dog

[shell fox]

Saltzpyre cameo 👀

[unborn phoenix]

Watching a lore vid on the battle of calth it sounds like the ultramarines haven't encountered deamons up till this point

[green loom]

Betrayal at Calth?

[arctic talon]

Yep Calth was their first big run in

[unborn phoenix]

Cause of the dialogue

The context clues of the dude calling them deamons for lack of a better term

Something like that

[orchid lark]

When the train of Sisters of Silence is too much for you

[hasty oyster]

hello lore chat

do chain shovels exist

[green loom]

[hasty oyster]

and if they haven’t

why don’t they make them

[green loom]

[orchid lark]

A chain shovel is just a digger tool

An automated shovel

[arctic talon]

No

[arctic talon]

because shovels are terrible melee weapons

compared to an actual melee weapon

[hallow basin]

Fair, fair

Now, what about power shovels

[arctic talon]

Excavation tools with power fields actually do exist lol

but none shaped like shovels as far as we know

they're mostly pickaxes or drills

[unborn phoenix]

When the sisters of battle use you for cardio lol

[arctic talon]

Powered hammers and pickaxes exist

[rose thorn]

what would win

Ancient and powerful armor made by ancient human histories greatest engineers and armorers to suit the most powerful creatures humanity has to offer
or
John's carbattery hooked to a Pickaxe

[orchid lark]

Funnily enough the pickaxe

Thanks GW

The Abominants for Genestealers got some nasty weapons

[rotund jungle]

must see for anyone who didnt

[rose thorn]

I wrote so much for my age of sigmar custom city of sigmar

I went insane

I went from half way done to tripling how much work I need to do

[hasty oyster]

mmmm

[green loom]

@storm jungle

[orchid lark]

The VA work for the sister is the only that felt

Out of place

Its like when Cassidy (McCree) spoke in cutscenes for OW

[green loom]

The worst part for me was the marines lol

[orchid lark]

Its super tough to make a 40k show like “lore accurate”

Fucks with picture framing

And all that

That said, I am glad at least that this is the first show we got that Space Marines at least has like their super human hearing and reaction speeds

Although them staying inside the thunderhawk as its crashing is stupid

Considering they do have protocol of what to do

Its literally jump out of it and roll even if its moving fast and stuff

Sa’Kan apparently was with the first suicidal salamanders squad apparently

[tulip brook]

Or they died before they had the chance

Or hatch got stuck

The show was definitely too short for its story

[green loom]

I think the length was fine

[orchid lark]

Length was fine

[orchid lark]

There are 3 main exits for a thunderhawk. No way all three got fucked.

[queen laurel]

40k lore is about as consistent as ork engineering

making it truly lore accurate is going to be its own Gymnastic

[orchid lark]

Pretty much, we cant complain much

We gotta unfortunately accept it or else we’re never gonna get more

[green loom]

Imo getting the vibe right is more important than any solid lore

[tulip brook]

They have wh+ they need to fill the content

[tulip brook]

They should treat it like black library. New content with actually progressing the lore

[green loom]

The same black Library that has a few hundred filler books?

Besides, it's not a lore/animation centric thing, it's a hobby thing

[orchid lark]

I think if the animations ever progressed the lore for 40k, it would kill a lot of the hobby’s core

The lore progresses to a massive standstill as to allow you to inject as much of YOUR dudes into it

GW’s main goal is for people to spend money on PAINTS for Models for people to make their own stuff

[storm jungle]

Miniatures basically drive everything in warhammer yeah

lore nerds get very mad when you tell this to them lol

[queen laurel]

So a legal way to torture them is to kidnap them and forcefully make them watch GW stock rise as models sell

[orchid lark]

Every competition that GW faces, forces GW to double their efforts and remind you why you always end up buying their stuff

Its not a good ecosystem but Thats how it is

[orchid lark]

Lore Nerds, I much prefer the term, Brokies

https://tenor.com/view/black-cat-swinging-leg-gif-10185861

[green loom]

Hey I'm a brokie

[orchid lark]

Im pretty sure you bought some@models two months ago

[green loom]

I have some heroes and a squad of intercessors and it cost me a ton lol

[orchid lark]

Guess what, youre not a brokie

Buying Gw products monthly is another beast entirely

[green loom]

True enough

I want to get some chaos marines next

Paint up some red corsairs

[queen laurel]

I call my self a Hermit

[green loom]

Once I've made a few hundred bucks from comms

[orchid lark]

Refined tastes

[rocky gale]

Love that two of the Golden Demon winners were fan creations of things GW haven't made models for yet, Exodites and Daemon Prince Perturabo.

[storm jungle]

I loved the irony too lol

[rocky gale]

[rose thorn]

I’m glad that gw is opening back up to fan creations tho

For GD

[rocky gale]

Pretty sure the base still has to be a GW model though, but yea they let you modify and have fun with it with bits and greenstuff etc

Although it's heavily modified, it still uses the Perturabo model from HH as it's basis so it's allowed.

[rose thorn]

Holy shit that paint scheme is so bad

[rocky gale]

Yea it's a Forge World model, most of them are painted pretty badly on the website

[queen laurel]

Isn't forge world a part of the warhammer website now

Because they did that God awful remodeling

[shadow plover]

I don't really see how that's a bad paint job, just a different style and the gd winner is an absolutely mind blowing in skill

[rocky gale]

Well not painted badly, just not to the same quality as other models on the website

[shadow plover]

Plus the picture is in poorer quality

[rose thorn]

Yeha I guess that’s what I mean

I just can’t see any detail on the model it’s like

A mildly rusty colored ball

[rocky gale]

Most of the FW models on the website aren't painted to the same quality as the standard GW ones on the site

[shadow plover]

Metallic paints are notoriously hard to get right

And that's a pretty old paint job by now, probably closer to 10 years soon

https://www.instagram.com/gizmo_paints/p/CnPjDdZtOE8/?img_index=1

Pre paint pictures

[rose thorn]

That middle rack does wonders for the silhouette

[storm jungle]

Pretty bad.

[shadow plover]

It is not though

[pine wedge]

that's so sick

[rose thorn]

Pls gw give ‘Eavy Metal it’s sheckles and paint chips to feed their family and make them paint the FW stuff

Old FW stuff*

Wast it Eavy doing gw stuff?

I forgor

[shadow plover]

Was about to say they do paint them nowadays

[rose thorn]

Yea lmao, omfg that new nomad is like

So good

[shadow plover]

Eavy metal is also very particular in their style

[rose thorn]

Yea

[shadow plover]

Old FW aimed for a more grounded and realistic look

[rose thorn]

They seem to loveeeee their washes

And glazes

The rust screams to me

They slapped that shit everywhere

[shadow plover]

Do you mean the verdigris

[rose thorn]

Yeah

[queen laurel]

POV: Dilara after the praise the imperial related community stuff challenge ( she promptly died of an internal bleeding heart attack )

[rose thorn]

That’s what it’s called?

[shadow plover]

Ye

[rose thorn]

Nice

[shadow plover]

It does look nice

[queen laurel]

this is a bit basic for a special edition mini don't you think

[rose thorn]

Welcome to krule boy’z

[queen laurel]

i know they are a bit of a minimalist because having cheap stuff means it's easy to replace when they do their cunning stuff but come on at least a helmet on this guy would be good

[rose thorn]

That’s a hakka gutrippa boss right

But the chest armor is perfect for kitbashing tbh

But yeha kruleboyz exclusives suck

Most of them aren’t playable or are just gutrippaz

The shaman we got doenst even come with a potgrot so it’s not even playable

[queen laurel]

Yeah that's something

[rose thorn]

AHVDHSVISHSU THEY COULDNT GET THE FUCKING FEET TO FIT TOO

[coarse pumice]

I have abused the verdigris paint a lot

[queen laurel]

Yeah i'm telling you that thing looks way to f****** not special

I understand Krule boys being a minimalist but like

It's supposed to be some kind of special character have a bit more flare than a giant black choppa

[coarse pumice]

He has a face on the shield

[rose thorn]

Like every gutrippa models have the worst feet I’ve ever seen it’s so bad

Because thou slot the body into the base which has the feet separate

One of my gut rippaz just had a cancerous growth on its toe

Because I tried to green stuff it

[queen laurel]

Kruleboy standard issue

[rose thorn]

I mean the uh

He’ll what were they called

[queen laurel]

One of their tactics is using hallucinogenic mist and making the faces seem like it's real

[rose thorn]

Killa bossses

[rose thorn]

Ignore the fact that sometimes the faces are real

[queen laurel]

The ones on foot?

[rose thorn]

Yea

[queen laurel]

Surprisingly the normal kill a boss on foot model is more visually interesting than the one i sent

[rose thorn]

Killabosses usually lead a whole clan in lore

So

[queen laurel]

Yeah but this guy is a killaboss

Killaboss Zagnog

Like he is somehow more basic than your basic killa boss

[rose thorn]

If you get him I suggest slapping the spare man skewers helmets on there to make a full helmet

You get like 5 extra heads in there

And helmets

[queen laurel]

I would try to get him but you know me i am poorer than an ork with dentures that don't grow teeth

[rose thorn]

This rocks tho even if it’s just the worst wizard in the game (/hj)

And you can actually run this

[river walrus]

Are guns we get old? Past models? Tought it not right if get newer gear, we penal battalion no? So we have old guns?

[storm jungle]

Theres no "old" guns in 40k, pretty much everything is used somewhere, most of our equipment included.

We're also both composed of Inquisitorial troops (anyone that reaches level 30) and Penal troops, we use anything given to us scavenged from the field due to supply issues

[river walrus]

So... is mix yes? Wait... so if Ulgo part of warband... not die execution? Die killing heretic?

[storm jungle]

Yes.

[river walrus]

Ulgo happy to hear!

Imperium big place so where atoma?

[tulip brook]

Old means better in 40k xD
