Baby incinerator

My beloved

[spare osprey]

fuckin hussar vampires bro

[shell mason]

Mossacannibalis

[spare osprey]

i love it

[arctic talon]

God

[winter vessel]

Trench Crusade leaked the secret of how Prime is made

[arctic talon]

That design goes hard

[spare osprey]

LITERALLY

[arctic talon]

I wonder what the fuck is going on in the Americas

Because they never got colonized

[shell mason]

Brother drinking tf out the bowl

[sharp crest]

what is that'

[arctic talon]

And Spain trades with them

[arctic talon]

Prime is a energy drink

[spare osprey]

i would love a native american faction, throw in the mythology

[sharp crest]

im not 80 💀

[arctic talon]

Well too bad

[rose thorn]

Piss god

[vagrant fox]

Prime is what the cool kids drink isn't it

[spare osprey]

it's a really really deep dive but the piamupitsi̠

would go so hard

[shell mason]

Lord of Tumors

[shell mason]

so your average discord/reddit mod

[spare osprey]

(owl ogres who kidnap and eat children, they took over the planet this one time but then baby buffalo kicked them into the moon hence the craters)

go crazy with it

[winter vessel]

well there goes the big news

[spare osprey]

fuck

i wanted the big news

[shell mason]

#general-chat

[winter vessel]

but yeah, even the baseline foot soldiers from the Forces of New Antioch I like.

[shell mason]

believe that a combat eng if i remember right

[winter vessel]

lemme see if i can find the model sheet

[shell mason]

yep it is

[winter vessel]

oh yup, here it is

[spare osprey]

the MI are so cool

can't wait for the prussian ones

[shell mason]

Look up Scannerbarkly for Trench crusade lore

[winter vessel]

I just noticed the Sin Eater has nipple rings

[shell mason]

for characters or otherwise

[spare osprey]

also

[shell mason]

cool af dude

[spare osprey]

something i didn't notice

on its back

is a whole dude

[shell mason]

which one

[spare osprey]

bro packed lunch (spoilered cause...well)

[winter vessel]

the "patrick star" maneuver

[shell mason]

I mean it is just meat in that suit of armour

[winter vessel]

with the addition of the Sultanate, i hope that can also include a faction from the South East Asia. some sort of Shogunate faction i would like

[arctic talon]

That’s east Asia

[shell mason]

he means more japan

and Chinese

[spare osprey]

there's this one group of 3d modelers whose stuff i see occasionally

who put some stuff out

lemme find em

[arctic talon]

The Silk Road is running

So presumably China isn’t hell

Emphasis on presumably

[shell mason]

Not yet

Give it time

the heretic legions are working

fw the paladins tho

[winter vessel]

Interesting that their gear and armor is tailored to a specific circle of Hell, they go beyond that, they're F'd

[arctic talon]

How many circles of hell

[arctic talon]

Dante’s inferno style?

Or

[shell mason]

7

[spare osprey]

yeah 7

[arctic talon]

makes sense

[spare osprey]

think we have art of 2 of them rn?

[shell mason]

Believe

[spare osprey]

paladins i mean

[shell mason]

one paladin is dead and another turn heretic

[winter vessel]

Aww sweet, reminds me of the Japanese faction from C&C Red Alert 3

[spare osprey]

3rd circle

4th

[shell mason]

the others still kicking though

Like I said

[arctic talon]

They look normal

[shell mason]

Scannerbarkly for lore on her

[arctic talon]

Like

Mostly normal

For the heretic legion lol

[spare osprey]

these are the Christians

[winter vessel]

that plating tho' 👌

[arctic talon]

Nvm then lol

I still think the heretic legion look

Mostly normal

[shell mason]

she is currently in the fourth circle of hell

[spare osprey]

also 2

have died

[shell mason]

Fucking shit uuuup

[winter vessel]

TC might genuinely take my interest in the models. So I can work on my homebrew, the "Gentiles Repentant"

[spare osprey]

one turned (supposedly)

so thas 3 down

[shell mason]

mean it tracks

[spare osprey]

mhm

[spare osprey]

for their humans yea

mainly just slaves

the demons and sorcerers and shit tho

cool as hell

hehehehe

[winter vessel]

no joke

[spare osprey]

also homie up there

[winter vessel]

and the Herald of Beezlebub is a special kind of nasty

[spare osprey]

fuckin huge

[shell mason]

mostly likely greed, heresy, and treachery layer are the ones that fell

and or turned

which is the big 3

[spare osprey]

and then you put him next to Yersinia Rex lol

[winter vessel]

this the thing that is just made out of corpses right?

[spare osprey]

don't think so

he's a plague knight

like so, just happens to be the biggest one

[winter vessel]

I like how the Crusader Knights have the most simplistic design but when you learn about the four Rites, i was like "Damn, that's what's underneath the armor?"

[jade holly]

So what exactly is happening in the Dark Communion mission?

Is some sort of summoning or resurrection ritual?

[humble shoal]

"Ressurection" aka possetion

[jade holly]

On this topic, there’s always something that confused me. Are some daemons naturally mechanical?

Like the daemonic growths?

[humble shoal]

No

[jade holly]

And the ones in game are somewhat mechanical right?

[arctic talon]

Yeah, the ones in game are technically daemon engines

[jade holly]

I highly doubt IW Warpsmith or DG warpsmiths (if they have those) would be this involved here

So does that mean Dark Mech is crawling around?

[vagrant fox]

Probably not, just shove the daemons into the machinery with rituals

[arctic talon]

You don’t need any of those to make daemon engines

You just need someone who can cause possessions

Someone who knows how machines work

And someone with a gun or a sorcerer preferably

[jade holly]

Damn

I want to see Dark Mech

[arctic talon]

I’d rather see traitor admech

Or just generic chaos admech

[jade holly]

Isn’t Dark Mech the traitor Mechanicus?

[arctic talon]

They’re specifically the traitor mechanicum and their desendents and recruits from the Horus heresy

It’s like chaos legion vs chaos space marine

[jade holly]

Bruh

[arctic talon]

What

[jade holly]

It’s always the semantics that get me

[arctic talon]

A chunk of them worshiped the Dark King as the omnissiah

So the name makes some sense

[vagrant fox]

Guess there might be some hereteks running around in the future if we get lucky

[jade holly]

Ngl, both sides of this war are incompetent aren’t they?

[arctic talon]

Not really

[jade holly]

Wolfer is taking L’s left and right at least

[arctic talon]

Both sides are pretty competent

[arctic talon]

In lore not really

Most of the reject missions just end in death

The Moebian sixth are a single regiment and their casualties aren’t terrible

[jade holly]

We could be funny and say both are doing equally bad. Either way it’s a stalemate

[arctic talon]

They can still project force well

But the main thing is Wolfer has fucked up some big things

So the cult isn’t happy with him

[jade holly]

But with the communion stopped and “The Three” are meeting, I wonder what that will lead

[arctic talon]

Actually

Is wolfer even the overall leader of the Sixth

He’s just a captain

[jade holly]

He’s the captain

[arctic talon]

Well

[jade holly]

Not whatever the main leader is

[arctic talon]

Captain is a rank

There’s multiple captains

Ig he’s in charge of them all

But still

[jade holly]

If that ritual failed

Would Rodan (I know that ain’t his name I just forget how to spell it)’s body be the host of a GUO

[arctic talon]

We dunno what the fuck they were doing

But prolly not a GUO

[jade holly]

Cause I heard the ritual dialogue specifically mentioned a “Great One”

in capitals

[arctic talon]

Could be asking for one of the Great One’s minions

There’s not nearly enough going on for a full GUO imo

Especially to shove into a dead body

[storm jungle]

^

[jade holly]

Whatever it was, it seemed like putting a new soul in the body via ritual and lots

And I mean lots

Of drugs

[storm jungle]

yeah because Rodin's soul flies off once you destroy the corrupted blight tanks

[jade holly]

Is his body gone then?

Perma dead?

[storm jungle]

Yeah if you look closely it vaporises

[arctic talon]

He prolly was already perma dead imo

[jade holly]

Double dead

[arctic talon]

His soul prolly got lost in the warp

The weird green shit flying away imo was whatever they were trying to posses him with

[storm jungle]

Nah it was his soul

the blog says as much

but now uh yeah its gone rip lmao

[jade holly]

https://tenor.com/view/packwatch-ripbozo-pitalonzo-alex-lafreniere-alex-iafreniere-gif-18890780

[storm jungle]

^

No wonder the lady cultist was shit-talking Wolfer

his soul is up next

lol

[jade holly]

Well they still got another sibling

[storm jungle]

shes the cult's herald

[arctic talon]

Guh

[storm jungle]

so its not like they'll sacrifice her

probably

[arctic talon]

Cultist Moebian infighting

[jade holly]

Guh huh

[arctic talon]

I can feel it

[storm jungle]

the problem is we cant have that

[arctic talon]

Lore wise

[storm jungle]

because the mixed enemy pool is half the gameplay

[jade holly]

Desperation is a mighty inhibiting tonic to drink from

[arctic talon]

They had them in fighting in VT lore wise

But they didn’t like

Have it occur in gameplay

[storm jungle]

oh right lmao

also yeah they really do not like each other at all

the female cult leader literally calls the moebians like

homeless vagabond turncoats

shes so fucking angry its hilarious

[arctic talon]

Pot calling the kettle black

Lmfao

[storm jungle]

Ikr

[jade holly]

Sounds like Admech insults to me lmao

[storm jungle]

SHE INSTANTLY also shit-talks Wolfer after her creature fails

like bitch???

[jade holly]

Admech are the masters of shit talking

[storm jungle]

Honestly real.

[rose thorn]

WTF IS THIS

[storm jungle]

OH WAIT

IS THAT THE RIVER THING FROM THE FIRST LOTR MOVIE

Before they were entering Moria

aaaa what was its name

[jade holly]

Doesn’t Wolfer call that woman a creature?

ironic coming from a Nurgle follower

[vagrant fox]

Watcher in the whatchamacallit

[storm jungle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWNZdOY94ko&ab_channel=MovieScenesASAP

[storm jungle]

Yeah but again its realistic

you dont really think your insults through before throwing em

lmao

[vagrant fox]

It's spookier in the book ok

[jade holly]

I honestly secretly hope that woman is traitor Admech

[storm jungle]

We'll see, it'd be a nice change of pace

[jade holly]

Imagine we have to fight a daemon engine, not a massive one

But a modestly big one

Like Plague Ogryn big

Unless that’s a flat out too strong to fight thing

[arctic talon]

Tbh

Whatever

We kill a Beast of nurgle

[jade holly]

And a Dhost

[arctic talon]

That shit should kill us via proximity lol

Dhost can vary

Evidently this one isn’t very strong bcs the host is still fighting back

They prolly shoved like a fucking plaguebearer in

[jade holly]

They ain’t even sending their best smh

[vagrant fox]

We have armour of contempt it's fine

[winter vessel]

Oh hey the Watcher in the Water, finally I can see it clearly!

[storm jungle]

and its about as fucking ugly as expected

love it, pretty screen-accurate too

[winter vessel]

I used to believe That thing is as about as close as we can get into the “Nameless Ones”

[storm jungle]

yea i do like the mix of quatic creature features on it

shit like that grasshopper legs is nasty

[winter vessel]

Yeah, I remember it was going to give chase to the fellowship had they not seal their exit/entrance in the film

[arctic talon]

La creature

[winter vessel]

But man, it’s nice to see it again

[plush mason]

the watcher in the water

[rocky gale]

The beast from the brine

The squid from the stream

[rose thorn]

Ohhhh

[rose thorn]

Might use it for a kitbash tbh…

[rose thorn]

Screams kruleboyz to me

[crisp heath]

Heheey cute snek 🙂

[queen laurel]

Bog Squid

[crisp heath]

🐍

[rocky gale]

Worth noting that it's depiction as a Kraken thing is a Movie thing, it's original description is much creepier

21 emerald tentacles that end with hands

[rose thorn]

Yeah… creepier….

[queen laurel]

wow that is something

[rocky gale]

They also never see it's body in the books, just the long tentacle arms. It's implied that it might be one of the Nameless Things

For reference when Gandalf and the Balrog fell down to the very depths below Moria where the Nameless Things dwell, the Balrog was trying to run away from the Nameless Things because even it was scared of them.

[winter vessel]

Imagine an Alien Isolation like game, where you're a dwarf who fled during the Balrog's awakening, but you only end up further deep into the Mines of Moria. and the "nameless things" are what stalk you for disturbing their slumber. there is no name, but each one you encounter is different than the last

[misty vector]

If you call it a ‘nameless thing’, is it still nameless

[plush mason]

yes because they are byproducts of the song that created the world and thus have no place it

so they are nameless because they shouldnt exist

[queen laurel]

yeah but why you're still here you should be in the mines of Moria

[shadow plover]

Lucius teased

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/oqstqeya/las-vegas-open-2025-the-first-preview-of-the-year-is-on-its-way/

and some Bionicle ass looking bird

[storm jungle]

Lmao these are great

[queen laurel]

i almost thought that was Queek head taker

i'm interested in what's the green thing though

[shadow plover]

Green makes me think Necrons which could fit it but it has a silly look to it which doesn't necessarily fit current necron aesthetic

[queen laurel]

same

[shadow plover]

it's a worm sitting on a base

might be biological too

necromunda maybe

[storm jungle]

Yeah munda has those centipede things

i assume maybe this is like a higher caste version of it or something

or its just a random critter for any warhammer game

[celest dome]

Lucius
Thanatar ?
Gur Magister (Old World) ?
No ieda
Bonerattle Cavalry

[shadow plover]

pretty much, thinking the green one will be necromunda

[storm jungle]

yeee

[storm jungle]

Yeah pretty perfect guesses

[shadow plover]

The Thanatar one might be a 40k variant for it, looks a bit smaller

but a Thanatar still

thinking 40k variant because Heresy isn't listed in the teaser image

unless it's some named character who comes with a Thanatar

black library model

[storm jungle]

Had a friend on another group just say:

People will take this as mechanicum coming to 40k I guarantee it

if its 30k ill laugh but it looks like it has abit too much gribble to be that, i really hope its 40k

[celest dome]

Not sure, the head is strange, I would assume it's AoS with some Spite

[storm jungle]

Yeah it can be anything

its just a centipede monster which all settings kinda have so lol

[shadow plover]

Best case scenario Dark Mechanicum

[storm jungle]

God if only

unfortunately not enough outer spikes on the silhouette alas

[celest dome]

Make me think of those, Sylvaneth Spites/bugs

[shadow plover]

oh right, Sylvaneth exists

[storm jungle]

Huh good guess

[storm jungle]

wait hold on

Someone just pointed out that HH isn't on the "this is what we're revealing stuff for" section.

This may in fact be for 40k.

[shadow plover]

yes that's what I was saying

[storm jungle]

I WAS WATCHING MOVIES ON THE SIDE I WASNT PAYING ATTENTION IM SORRY

[celest dome]

Thanatar for Necromunda

[queen laurel]

You mean those sige robots the red bots have

[shadow plover]

Looks very promising

[queen laurel]

They are the biggest type of robots the red boys have right

[storm jungle]

really like how they enlarged him in general

[spare osprey]

Thousand sons

[storm jungle]

the Laer blade also getting its proper big ass update

[spare osprey]

I’m 100% correct

[shadow plover]

[spare osprey]

Bet money on this

Yall think they’ll show off the new death guard dude?

[storm jungle]

I assume later

also bro has the disposal blender mouth-hose

💀

[hallow saddle]

I don't think that's actually Lucius himself

[spare osprey]

I’m upset they gave him that ngl

[hallow saddle]

I think it's an EC lord

[spare osprey]

Had the exact idea for an emperors children dude of mine

[storm jungle]

Nah its him

[shadow plover]

I'd bet money on that being Lucius, he has the whip and all

[storm jungle]

he was in the leaks

also yeah its absolutely him

hes too enlarged to be a generic goon

[spare osprey]

If it isn’t Lucius

The moon will blow up

[storm jungle]

for real

[shadow plover]

I really like the look of this guy, remind me a bit of the Lewis Jones art

[hallow saddle]

His back looks different

Like his juice cannisters

[storm jungle]

Yeah but again updated model

[shadow plover]

he's got more juice

[hallow saddle]

We know exactly what they look like

[storm jungle]

its not the first time they slightly changed older models

[spare osprey]

I’ve heard enough, it’s not Lucius guys

[storm jungle]

[hallow saddle]

I just don't think it is!

If I'm wrong then I'll have to eat my hat

[shadow plover]

all the art we have of Lucius is based on the old ass sculpt which had the trio canisters wrapped together, new sculpt, new looks

[spare osprey]

Plz record it too

[storm jungle]

"all the art"

Aka like all 3 of them too

[hallow saddle]

They don't change things that much

[storm jungle]

which are most like over 10 years old

[hallow saddle]

We also had a cartoon recently

[spare osprey]

They change things a lot lol

[storm jungle]

yeah beacuse they only had his model to go off of

they would never show off a model early in a cartoon thats like 2 years old now

it would be extremely stupid

[hallow saddle]

He has a banner on his back

Like a Slaanesh skin banner on his cannisters

[shadow plover]

there's at least 5!

[hallow saddle]

May just be the silhouette looking weird but it doesn't look like he has that

[storm jungle]

30k doesnt count!

[spare osprey]

Tell me why I look up Lucius and it’s a fucking minion

[shadow plover]

5 from 40k

[storm jungle]

Oh yeah? Post them

[spare osprey]

Make it 6

[hallow saddle]

I think that's an EC lord and not Lucius, u can pin that if u want

[queen laurel]

There's your gamble buddy

[hallow saddle]

Ta, we'll see

[shadow plover]

I'm not 100% sure if the last one is official piece

[celest dome]

Can we make polls ?

For the green one

[spare osprey]

I’ll sell my first born child to a little man to weave gold for me if you’re correct

[celest dome]

AoS / Necromunda / Tyranids

[hallow saddle]

Why does that silhouette have his sword and whip in different hands to Lucius

Answer me that one

[storm jungle]

its official

its from like

a really fucking obscure mid 2000's rulebook

i remember it i swear

[shadow plover]

there's also this which was used in some novel's cover art without the back vials

[storm jungle]

Actually even lexi doesnt use it

i think the previous one is deffo fanart, theres not even a artist credit in most sources

[hallow saddle]

Also I just wanna say re: the new model thing - models are based off art every single time

[storm jungle]

I mean

[spare osprey]

Ehhh not always

[storm jungle]

kinda

Yeah that

[hallow saddle]

They don't change much from the art

[storm jungle]

40k has a ton of artistic liberty with things

[shadow plover]

well with lucius all the art came after the model

[spare osprey]

And if we’re going with that

GOTCHA

the ork doesn’t have a bionic eye

[hallow saddle]

It's gonna be so sweet when I'm right, y'all trippin

Slaanesh shows me the truth

[shadow plover]

he even has the hooves!

but I want to see the new noise marines even more than Lucius

[spare osprey]

Also if we’re making bets, this is Steven universe’s introduction into warhammer

[spare osprey]

I would LOVE some noise terminators

[queen laurel]

Please shut up before i make your name your permanent verbal condition

[spare osprey]

☹️

[queen laurel]

I'm kidding i'm kidding

[spare osprey]

You’re trying to dull my whimsy

But it won’t work

I shine bright

[queen laurel]

How about i throw you to the warp

Let's see how bright you are

[hallow saddle]

Slaanesh reveals all

[spare osprey]

Throw me to the warp and I come back a father

TZEENTCH NEEDS A MAN

[queen laurel]

Why the fuck would you say that

[spare osprey]

Why would YOU throw me to the warp

[queen laurel]

Because i want to get rid of you not you to f*** up a knowledge hoarding bird shaped god

[spare osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/half-life2-half-life-g-man-meme-sphere-gif-22224760

[vagrant fox]

The chaos gods confirmed to be big titty waifus just like grimdank pretends??

[rocky gale]

So we've Lucius, Thanatar Calix, An Old World Creature (Could be Wood Elf or Beastman tbh), A Necromunda centipede and then there's the last one for AoS

New Wight King?

[raven stone]

Hm...did the Hours Heresy logo show up in that vid of the two people talking?

[rocky gale]

Nope

[raven stone]

I would have thought Thanatar Calix was for HH

[raven stone]

Because, you know, 40k Ad Mech cannot have cool stuff (TM)

[rocky gale]

40k, AoS, Old World, Necromunda and Black Library

[raven stone]

Well, I would be pleaseantly surprised if they finally gave 40k Ad Mech some of the Good Shit (TM)

right now all the good Ad Mech stuff is stuck in HH

...or a Knight ally lol

[celest dome]

Old World Creature (Could be Wood Elf or Beastman tbh),
Gur Shaman maybe
A Necromunda centipede
or AoS Syvaneth

[dusk patrol]

Looks pretty wild, him and the Thanatar

[raven stone]

EC codex inbound as well

exciting times for Chaos followers I would imagine

[dusk patrol]

Looking forward to what they’ll have

[raven stone]

I'm hoping EC Codex gets a nice writing team rotation

and not...well, the chop suey mess Imperial Agents ended up with (like, OK, Fair, We all knew Agents is a wayside list to box all the Kill Team players into trying big 40k but still)

[dusk patrol]

Considering they’re getting a whole model line

I think it’s safe to say they are

Iirc it’s Lucius, Fulgrim, Noise Marines at least confirmed, probably some sprues and some other models.

[raven stone]

Hopefully they get some unique war machines too, though 50/50 on that

On the one hand, Plague Marines got that extra tank

on the other hand, T Sons and Khorne Berzerkers...didn't

[shadow plover]

Maybe now I will get out of Footfall

should I get the expansion before I continue

[proven needle]

If you're still in chapter 2 definitely worth starting void shadows. If you are in chapter 4, it's still worth it, but you might also finish and include the DLC on your next play through.

[fossil current]

Ayo! Rogue trader enjoyers unite!

[shadow plover]

I'm still at Footfall which is still chapter 1, no?

but good to know

will be getting it soon then

[proven needle]

Could be, you return a few times 🙂

Anyway, I highly recommend it 😃

[shadow plover]

ah, I never left

[storm jungle]

100% its peak

[shadow plover]

It was on sale during the winter sale and I forgot to buy it

sad day

[proven needle]

You could get the season pass 😛

[shadow plover]

Hmm, the next expansion should be dropping this spring

[queen laurel]

100% you should get the expansion

The assassin lady is pretty fun

And her story is since she is an expansion character is a lot more

Flavored compared to the rest of the group

[shadow plover]

the season pass was on a -45% sale as well 😩
Might as well wait till it's on sale again

[raven stone]

Expansion is worth

Kibellah is a damn good addition

though admittedly you need to get used to maneuvering with her perfectly in movement

but once you do...

just watch mobs vanish

[proven needle]

And the quest line really takes you into the bowels of the ship. Quite enjoyed seeing that part.

[queen laurel]

The zogger be turning the entire arena into a ballerina floor

[queen laurel]

Drinking that green slop was worth it

[raven stone]

A ballet of crimson and blood, yes.

Also with Kibellah you can actually hit a no-psyker party even faster

like yes, Idira alone is not worth the shenannigans but there are times where you don't even want Henirix around to up the Veil meter too much

[tough haven]

Erm actually kibellah Is a psyker, she just doesn’t know it

[sly ivy]

Oh I love that stuff w the bulgur & the ground beef.

Wait it's psychic? I'm warp intolerant.

[rose thorn]

Okay so

From left to right

[humble shoal]

Pink crab, red crab, yellow crab, green long crab, blue horse crab

[rose thorn]

EC character (probably you know who), necromunda model, BoC for old world, black library, and soulblight gave lords update

Probably the new black gaurd and black knights

I have no fucking clue what the work could be

It’s on a circle base

So it’s 40k or AOS or HH

But no HH reveals

It could be necromunda? But I doubt it

I don’t think there’s any 40K factions that would use a burrowing worm that hadn’t already been relesded

[humble shoal]

Its a new tau unit, the gundam worm

[rose thorn]

My guess is GSG since Gloomspite has a mysterious 2 new units

[shadow plover]

the second one is an obvious Thanatar but it's weird because it's a Heresy model and no HH listed in the teaser

[rose thorn]

My guess is it’s the necromunda man of iron

[shadow plover]

that would be cool but why would it be in a Thanatar chassis

[celest dome]

It's 1 to 1 that one

[rose thorn]

Lmao wtf

If they reveal chaos admech id kill someone

[shadow plover]

it's a resin kit which will most likely get a plastic release

I did mention the best case scenario would be Dark Mechanicum for 40k but I highly doubt it

[crisp heath]

Ummmm das called "dark mechanicum".....scrub.....

[rose thorn]

I’m mostly excited for the soulblgiht reveal

If it’s just the grave gaurd and black knights I’d be happy

But I have a feeling it’s gonna be more

Based off the dawn bringer boxes being followed by a faction update

Except uh

STD

[shell mason]

[arctic talon]

The thanatar calix was confirmed to be a mistake on Facebook

Bro won’t be showing up at LVO

[rose thorn]

LMAO WHAT

[arctic talon]

Yeah idfk

They got the wrong robot mini

Ig?

[rose thorn]

They got too many minis in their hands dman

[sly ivy]

they wot m8

[winter vessel]

my first thought looking at this was a Big Daddy from Bioshock, probably because of the optics combined with the size

[raven stone]

Oh...well at least she doesn't cause Veil degradation then LOL

[rose thorn]

Is the bug sylaneth?

[arctic talon]

Looks too spiky

[rose thorn]

Do sylvaneth any books

[arctic talon]

And segmented

No

[rose thorn]

Besides beast grave

[arctic talon]

Sylvaneth have like

No books

[rose thorn]

It reminds me of trh worms on the dryad wizard

My bet is a Sylvaneth BL character

[arctic talon]

Oh true

[rose thorn]

Side note this model is pretty mid

[storm jungle]

I mean

its Warhammer Fantasy

so yeah

[rose thorn]

It’s a bretonnian without why people like bretonnia

The one foot hero guy was badass because he was the exception lmao

[storm jungle]

Literally WHERE is the horse

[rose thorn]

Tbh it looks like a cities of sigmar hero made into a bretonnian the last second

The thing on his chest is must have been a late addition

[storm jungle]

damn they stole his fleur

[rose thorn]

They are doing necromunda style releases for old world forgetting the fact that necromunda has models to release

In necromunda you have at least 2 reasons to pick up every model (w/ out kitbashing of course)

If it’s a gang specific character, you can still use it in like 3 gangs

And then you have universal models and alliances

Which always have a reason to be bought

[fallen marsh]

They already more or less revealed. Some photos in Legionis Imperialis book are with 40k scale models.

He did find a bunch of grownass adult superhumans who were half dumb as shit because they were raised by cavemen and whatnot

[tough haven]

Ok but it’s kinda the emperors fault too

[vagrant fox]

Nono, Dan Abnett made sure we knew it was because of women ☕

[tough haven]

Sarcasm doesn’t translate over text I realize now

[dusk patrol]

I don’t think Erda being goofy makes it less his fault still

We can always blame women anyways

There is absolutely no way to read it except as a messy divorce where a Karen throws the kids into actual hell, trust me

It was a simp

Throw them in the incinerator

Her art reminds me of late-2000s styled fan art for some reason

The overly dramatic posing, the shipping, the way its drawn

[crisp heath]

are you talking about me behind my back again 😦

[humble shoal]

Some people never left the early 2000s

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

I sometimes miss the 2000s, pure unfettered spirit decade

[crisp heath]

i´m right here suffering with you, i´ve been bleeding pretty hard from my surgery wounds today. but we´re going to be okay!

[humble shoal]

The world was more innocent then

The worst was 2 girls one cup

Now we got 1 lunatic 1 icepick

[crisp heath]

i had a sense in that time that i just didn´t "get" it, everyone was just partying all the time for no reason it seemed to me

[humble shoal]

I was like 6 so yeah.....

my parties had my main man percy

[jade holly]

How effective are the Commissar’s Havoc missions in lore?

[crisp heath]

and now that we are in a world of strife, well all that senseless partying still doesn´t make sense to me but maybe a world of meaningless partying is worth more than a world of meaningful strife.

[jade holly]

Since those are the most suicidal missions compared to our usual suicide missions

[humble shoal]

Theyre supposed to be on the front lines, so..... maybe a bit more

[vagrant fox]

I was mildly depressed even as a young teen but the future didn't look so grim at least

[humble shoal]

But tbh rolling steel is a more relevant lorewise than havoc

[humble shoal]

2008 would like a word

[vagrant fox]

I was but a boy and 2008 a breeze

[humble shoal]

Watched most of the kids in my elementary schools all of a sudden have 2 stay at home parents

[crisp heath]

i was....12 in 2008

i´m so goddamn old

[humble shoal]

I should have bought a house instead of being in the third grade

[vagrant fox]

I was 15 and should have bought property

Just before prices in town went up tenfold, now I can't afford shit

[humble shoal]

I graduated when housing prices skyrocketed again

[crisp heath]

i unironically knew someone who bought bitcoin when we were 16, i think of him sometimes, lost contact and would like to know if he hedl

it was

300€ back then

for a bitcoin

[sly ivy]

Jesus Christ.

[humble shoal]

Got 1$ in bitcoin in like 2012

[vagrant fox]

I was so close to buying a few dollars worth but couldn't figure it out and gave up

[humble shoal]

Think it turned into ~1k when I sold it

[crisp heath]

lol, yeah. i probably would have gotten some as well but i didn´t understand how stonks worked and how much potential value it had. and to be honest, i´m not mad at myself either, because i know that had i bought at 300€, i never would have held beyond 1000€

lotsa weed money for a student

[vagrant fox]

I dream sometimes of a vineyard is my problem

[jade holly]

I was 6

[crisp heath]

worthless zoomer trash

[rocky gale]

I should have invested in Apple during the 70s, granted I wasn't born at the time but it was such a missed opportunity

[jade holly]

I should’ve invested more into the housing market during the 50’s

[vagrant fox]

My parents should have bought like 8 houses back in the 70s

[crisp heath]

my parents shouldn´t have been born in communist germany

imagine being a boomer but not rich

[raven stone]

...can I just say, knowing what I know of East Germany
surviving is somewhat an achievement
(granted I know it is not as bad as North Korea or Belarus but still)

[humble shoal]

The stazi

And the underpants police

[vagrant fox]

Better reason than my uncle who got rich, then drank every bit of fortune away

[raven stone]

Yea, more meant surviving the stazi is an achievement to be more specific.

[green loom]

TBF a lot of Twitter hobby artists are comfy where they are

[humble shoal]

I suck at art and just dont do it

[green loom]

I'm just depressed enough to channel it into improvement

[crisp heath]

my father actually once got abducted by the state police when they pulled him off the street during a protest. but when he told them his last name, they were dumbfounded, because my grandfather was a supervisor in a big factory, and thus his son was politically valuable. they told him to cut off the peace movement badge he sewed into his shirt with scissors and then let him go

[vagrant fox]

I tried art, the practice annoys me because my hand doesn't do what I want

[jade holly]

I want to draw but I’m a perfectionist who redoes the entire drawing when proportions are off

[humble shoal]

To quote one of the tf2 devs: "I hope this ui code is so horrible they never let me write ui code again"

[green loom]

That's what 99% of art practice is, movement and shapes

[raven stone]

Well thank goodness the state police dudes on duty at the time did not resent the special privileges...and I'd imagine, in their case, they wouldn't dare either.

[crisp heath]

it´s true, i couldn´t draw at all when i started, but i drew every day, and now i can draw 🌞

[raven stone]

Practice makes perfect

[vagrant fox]

My main problem is I get annoyed and then I don't want to practice anymore

[green loom]

This was the best I could do in 23

[vagrant fox]

It's only with art I get annoyed too not sure why

[jade holly]

This was the best I could do like 2 days ago 💀

It’s horrible I know

[green loom]

That's pretty good

[jade holly]

Especially the Bolter

[green loom]

Dw I couldn't draw guns until a few months ago

[jade holly]

I had to even use a guide to do that

[crystal forum]

not improving is stagnation which is worse than doing no art at all

[crisp heath]

yeah that´s a whole thing

[green loom]

Yeah but I'm like especially deranged in regards to that so I think it's fair if someone just enjoys their style

[crisp heath]

because i unlike ed can just ROTATE

It surely can't hurt

[winter vessel]

the ship kinda looks like something i'd see in a Metal Slug game

[crystal forum]

wait until i add the tracks

[winter vessel]

had no idea it was an asset in Foxhole, haven't played that game for a while

[crystal forum]

i couldnt find the mesh in the game files so i winged it

to me the scale is ALL wrong but ofc people dont even notice lol

[crisp heath]

i had been 3d modeling between the ages of 11 to like 14 and then i started drawing at 16, which was trash at first but then i got gud. take this any way you want

[crystal forum]

what were you modelling as a child

i wish i had an art hobby when i had free time

[raven stone]

I wish I did more fanfic writing way back when.
Nowadays...well, still haven't started.
...
I really should just start writing it no matter how bad it is before I regret not writing it lol.

[crisp heath]

just all kinds of things. i think i wanted to become a 3d modeler for video games back then. i just remember giving a presentation about it in school where i showed some cute figures and a ferris wheel i made lol

[green loom]

I want to become a concept artist

Which is probably why I'm driving myself so hard

[winter vessel]

trying to write a novel, hell even at least a paragraph's worth a day. My sister was what inspired me.

[crystal forum]

anyways this is what i had in mind for the ship

how does it look to you 40k people

is it 40k enough

[crystal forum]

oh lol

[dapper gyro]

Not enough church and cathedral.

Therefore I deem you a heretic.

[tough haven]

What’s the difference between a enforcer and a sanctioner?

[humble shoal]

not enough skulls

in seriousness what is it supposed to be?

if its a ship on treads it still needs portholes of some kind (bonus if you make them in church arches instead of circles)

[crystal forum]

landship

this thing is astra militarum proxy so no churches

[humble shoal]

Are you aiming for a battleship look?

[crystal forum]

it's a model i recreated nearly 1:1 from a game

so yeah battleship but ik it's tiny

[humble shoal]

looks good then

[crystal forum]

thx

[storm jungle]

Enforcers are the local law enforcers/rent-a-cops

sanctioners are special to Alecto, they are another term for the enforcers

[crystal forum]

not to be confused with arbites

which also should not be confused with arbitor ian, dilara's waifu

[vagrant fox]

Arbitor Ian is my waifu

[jade holly]

Any ideas what the next big event in the story will be?

With the failure of the ritual in Dark Communion surely something big has to go down

[storm jungle]

We literally got no idea lol

They'll tease the stuff when its necessary, we are in cooldown atm since the year is over

I know we shouldn’t be able to, but I want throw hands with a GUO

[opaque coyote]

Fun fact

Majorkill is actually an Eldar player

So

Take of that what you will

Even mentions it in the video

[tough haven]

I have no clue who that is

I stay out of 40K content creators

[opaque coyote]

Good on you tbh

[winter vessel]

y'know the Eldar are the 2nd lowest in my list of factions, when it comes to understanding their history

the very bottom are the Votann

[shadow plover]

Votann barely have any history to begin with

discounting the Squat era decades ago

[queen laurel]

and the new book they got was boring

which doesn't help their case of lacking lore

and another one that doesn't help is that in the main tabletop 40K

They haven't had a new model still

[shadow plover]

True true

[queen laurel]

Honestly I'm just gonna say it they are probably right now the most neglected warhammer 40K faction

[arctic talon]

they're new, doesn't count

[queen laurel]

yeah that is true but like you would expect GW to give them more attention considering that they're the new kid in the block

GW revealed them, gave them a couple models outside of the main tabletop 40K

a new boring book and right now that's it

[arctic talon]

that is literally how that tends to go

lol

they got more then GSC at launch

[queen laurel]

damn for real?

GW handles things very differently i will say

[arctic talon]

not really

what Votann got is standard

you get your launch minis

you get a book

you maybe get some other stuff

and then you wait for wave 2

[shadow plover]

Sisters relaunch was more of an outlier when it comes to the quantity of stuff we've seen

but that's partly because they never really left the lore proper

[arctic talon]

They're an existing faction

they don't count imo

and they did get the exact same treatment as LoV

[shadow plover]

yeah fair, so were the World Eaters but they didn't get many models either

[arctic talon]

They got their launch wave, they got a few books

and then they got a wave 2

[shadow plover]

but they're more of a subfaction

[arctic talon]

Thousand sons still haven't gotten their wave 2 lol

[queen laurel]

so is GSC the most Shafted right now?

[shadow plover]

they've got their tzaangors

[arctic talon]

no

most shafted faction rn is like

prolly Tsons lol

their entire model range excluding AoS overlap is like

[shadow plover]

or Grey Knights

[arctic talon]

6 kits

Oh yeah GK are even worse

[queen laurel]

dam n

[arctic talon]

they're all 5e kits

except for Voldus and the other dudee I forgot the name of

uhhh

the black blade dude

[queen laurel]

and eldar no longer get shafted because the models they got were insane

[arctic talon]

Voldus and Crowe

[queen laurel]

Gotta say GW I'm proud of you actually overcoming your need to slam down eldar

[arctic talon]

I mean

[shadow plover]

they're just missing the Scorpion lord

[arctic talon]

its the Scorp lord yeah

but he's the sneakiest

[shadow plover]

It's pretty wild we got the missing phoenix lords

[arctic talon]

but yeah the GK minis are 5e lol

[arctic talon]

we got them almost all updated lol

[queen laurel]

this guy?

[arctic talon]

yeah

[shadow plover]

the 'totally not the predator'

[arctic talon]

if there's a few existing plastic kits I want updated for CWE

its Dire Avengers, the war walker and like the Viper

[queen laurel]

You would think they would have included him because out of all the phoenix Lords he looks the simplest

[arctic talon]

He's the sneakiest

also he's pretty fancy looking

ignore the fact he's so small

but like he's pretty complex

[queen laurel]

OK yeah i see it the whole scorpion

hat

but basically every phoenix lord included right

not including him of course

[arctic talon]

named ones?

no

there's the shining spears one and another

that are still missing in lore

[queen laurel]

hmm i see

still at least Eldar got pretty good attention

they needed it

[arctic talon]

Drastana and Amon Harakht are both missing

[arctic talon]

oh also Arhra is missing I guess technically

not really

totally not Arhra

[sly ivy]

Yes uhhhhh whatever happened to him I guess we’ll never know

Pay no attention to that random dark eldar

[arctic talon]

ignore the fact that some poor Klaivex thought she hit it big

and tried to steal his armor

and then she got possessed

[sly ivy]

Eldar history: blee bloo magic space frog bluh warp constructs/weapons ==> “gods” blarg accidentally make One God to Rule Them All and it’s a pervert that destroys the species

i hope you break your arm

[sly ivy]

Jokes on both of you I stubbed my arm and broke my toe

On my way to the podium to receive my PhD in Eldar history

[queen laurel]

OK so out of all the playable phoenix Lords in tabletop is the scorpion guy the only one missing

[sly ivy]

Gesundheit

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[queen laurel]

welp at least they got 99% of them

it does have the look of a Skareshield

so not Kruleboyz

Yea it’s too clean for kruleboyz

[celest dome]

Look fishy

For some reason

[rocky gale]

Makes me think of Khorne

Something about the face reminds me of the flesh hounds

[queen laurel]

i would Wager it's Slaanesh related but that feels like too much of a cheap shot

[shadow plover]

EC CODPIECE

[celest dome]

Did so too, but while writing it i started to think of something fish related

[rocky gale]

Pendant for a Khorne hound master or something

Not feeling shield or codpiece because we’d see more bits around it from the arms or legs

So it must be hanging down from something

Or is proped up by the tongue

[shadow plover]

they often edit out other pieces from around the main focus of the picture

like this guy's belly piece

[queen laurel]

oh i see it

[rocky gale]

Oh

Never noticed that before

[shadow plover]

another example so it isn't just a one time fluke etc

[queen laurel]

oh damn they are good at this huh

[shadow plover]

https://warbosskurgan.blogspot.com/p/rumour-engines.html

Kurgan has a nice list

[rocky gale]

Do you think they edit it out or do they only build and paint a single piece of the model

[shadow plover]

I think they're edits, with some you can see a sharper edge to the areas where it was cropped out

[dapper gyro]

That's the back of the plate btw.

[shadow plover]

no its the cockpiece

[raven stone]

reads the Guard article
Interesting how GW has upgraded Catachan to stand alongside Cadians and Krieg

[humble shoal]

Catechan have always been stronger than krieg

You can tell because they wear less clothes than either

[dapper gyro]

Despite their hazardous environment, Catachan never have to wear as much protection as the Krieg.

Krieg is overrated.

[raven stone]

Well, TBF, different types of hazards.
But fair enough in saying Catachan wear less protection overall.

[sly ivy]

[shadow plover]

Why'd you name your dick Rooster

[queen laurel]

i'm gonna be honest man i have completely givin up on figuring out Jay's Brain Pattern

[keen nova]

Whats the purpose of the plasma gun in a squads formation? The more I look at it it just seems like a short range anti material rifle. Speaking of which, does the guard have anti-mat rifles? Seems like it would be incredibly useful. (And cheap)

[dapper gyro]

They have a lot of option for different purposes.

[queen laurel]

when you meet things that are quite likely to survive weapons weaker than plasma gun and a plasma gun has a pretty decently long range

[tough haven]

Ok so how are ranks set up in the Mechanicus, I thought I understand it but I might be confused

[storm jungle]

^

Its literally just a more devastationg anti-mateiral weapon

[storm jungle]

Every Forgeworld has its own structure

[keen nova]

Perhaps I should specify that I mean guard variants. Even if they do have a long effective range, I've never seen one with an optic outside of the elysian variant. Also, here's my source for this range thing. He's probably not the most reliable tho...
https://youtube.com/shorts/4OuHOhRTmIY?si=W0p9T7_8RPLnUIc7

[storm jungle]

even the chart I passed is a "rough" outline

[storm jungle]

It depends.

Theres thousands of gun marks/variants in the imperium

[queen laurel]

also

[keen nova]

Would

[storm jungle]

Also he has it spot on

the U.S army has shot down very useful weapons just for the sole reason of "its mid"

[keen nova]

I mean, that's awesome that it's an option, isn't relex an implied low power optic tho?

[storm jungle]

Idfk

its just a random plasmagun

the artist literally put a scope because it looks cool

Like look at this crap

[keen nova]

Any guard variants?

[vagrant fox]

Autocannon 🙂

[dapper gyro]

Hotshot lasgun can also fight against light vehicles.

[crystal forum]

i love guard

[crystal forum]

look at this lad, barely 19 and already traumatized

[queen laurel]

guardsmen often use long-las

Imagine las guns as high-powered sniper rifles

[celest dome]

Neddler gun are also sometime used

[crystal forum]

long lases arent that common

less common than the usual support weapons

[storm jungle]

No lol

[celest dome]

They aren't really rare
