STOP WITH THE MEMES

I think the filename is to ensure distressed viewers understand that those nobs, do infact, have a 'naut but it is not presently with them.

Because they don't hate each other. While they do sometimes fight when groups within each faction find themselves at odds, on the whole their relationship isn't like the High Elf/Dark Elf fratricide from WHFB, or like DnD's Drow. They disapprove of one another's cultural solutions to dealing with the Fall, but in the end, their shared history, enemies, and contempt of everything that isn't an Eldar give them more in common than not.

Because of plot armour. Or in this case, plot gangrene.

Any new leaks and rumours other than made by Veeky Forums itself?

My personal favorite

>Space marines are so bad
>They only have 8 good units out of 54
>They're monobuild with their 4 good formations
>Ignoring other armies that have no good formations and maybe 2 good units out of a far smaller selection

They'd be pasted all of the thread if there were.

posted this in the last thread but it died:

Anyone got any Freeboota lists? wanna be a space pirate

Welp, you are right. Just been away for a week and don't want to miss anything

Better the devil you know

Lads, I'm reaching my breaking point. I love this hobby so much and I feel like I'm right of the edge of getting better at painting, but I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing and highlighting feels so alien to me. Everything looks messy and models never look finished.

I bought better brushes but I can't keep them to a good point and I'm getting close to just giving up. Any tips for seriously improving?

pic related, space marine I'm working on

So I'm slowly working on a fandex sort of thing after having gone through the rules and IG codex; what do you think of this as a way to represent e.g. pike formations (which don't seem to be a thing in 40k as such)?

Entrench:
If a unit with this rule didn't move this turn (but is not locked in combat or Gone to Ground), it is Entrenched. If an Entrenched unit is charged, models with this rule may attack at Initiative 10 in the Fight phase of the first round of combat.

Not sure if the wording is totally sound, but the idea is particularly to counter Hammer of Wrath; you can plow your cavalry/walkers/jump troops/xenos beasts into the formation and fuck shit up, but you won't be able to follow through if you manage to get yourself impaled on a wall of spears in so doing (in exchange, weapons with Entrench on them will probably also be Two Handed and/or Unwieldy)

I may just be a pleb, but that looks pretty good; just clean up the pauldrons a bit. I assume the bits on the legs where it looks like the paint got chipped off are intentional?

so where did it all go wrong?

Is she a greenskin?

Whose the second guy?

Is there a dataslate or some rules for a Terminator Command squad?

Inquisitor Toth

>Sega
>No original Devs

>Project Lead Quote
>Why is it unrealistic for a suit of Terminator armour to leap 30 feet into the air, or do a double backflip? Terminators aren't real! No one knows how they move, hahahahahaha

I would just say that if they didn't move in their last turn, they get some sort of reverse hammer of wrath that activates when charged

Oh, cool.

What's the general reaction to Shadow War Armageddon?

Lady Solaria is qt

So, basically the opposite of Hammer of Wrath? Seems fine. I think there are already a few weapons which do this regardless of who is charging... mandiblasters and prehensile dataspikes, if memory serves.

Are phosphor serpentas on sydonian dragoons worth it? Seems like jezails want to be keeping at range and lance dudes would want to run instead of shooting.

>Orks, Eldar, and marines will unite to defeat the ultimate evil hidden on the planet in DoW3
>People think that the Necrons are this ultimate evil

Fuck sake guys. The Necrons are not evil, let alone the ultimate evil.

>fully clothed

I didn't realise halal shibari was a thing

1: Straight white highlights are bad unless you're highlighting white armour.

2: Don't do highlights with the tip, but the side of the brush.

3: If you're gonna do a split scheme, split it properly, dont half ass it on the belt and crotchplate, that adds messiness.

4: Brush control an dthooroughness, seriously the dront of that bolter is just a silver mess and whi is the a black blob on the knife?

5: WIP is there they either know their shit or are learning along with you.

Lenses look good though and the colour scheme can actually work if you polish it up.

>Plastic sisters confirmed

>mandiblasters and prehensile dataspikes
AdMech? I plan on drawing ideas from other codices (idk if Arbites use different rules than Ogryns do for their shields, for instance), but I haven't had the time to read them all yet, so if something like this already exists I can just pull from that.

>phosphor serpentas on sydonian dragoons
don't even know what these are senpai, sorry

What would have to be in 8th to fix the game?

>Nuker
Are you for fucking real

>space marine chapter off looting old relics instead of defending the Imperium
And then I remembered this is the blood ravens we're talking about.

The other guy is wrong.

It's the Orion guy from DoW2.

Base up rebuild, no more band-aids, 40k is already a Ship of Theseus.

>we moba now
>>>>>>>>>now

it's not golden demon level but it's alright, finish a couple a few units.

as far as brushes go i can't seem to keep them longer then a few months myself and i'm pretty good at painting. idk about you but a major mistake i do is getting paint into the ferror and using more then 2/3 of the brush and letting painting get too dry in the brush.

You mean what would have to be dropped in 8th

Acheron is pretty Necron-y, though.

bump for the bump gods

- Remove TLOS
- Change Overwatch
- Drop tons of excess shit that doesn't add any complexity
- Drop standard point sizes back down, to bring the game back to its skirmishing roots instead of the ever-evolving clusterfuck that has existed since 3rd.
- Make Melee Great Again

Across the board cost reductions would help, too.

Freebootaz can literally be anything
Especially Lootaz and Flash Gitz and anything else expensive
Just give your general a pirate hat

Surely the solution to making the game sizes smaller would be to INCREASE points costs?

so what you're saying is
Do what you want because a pirate is free

I think he means to lower the standard point size of games, but increasing the costs of squads is a good idea there too.

Just go back and compare what 1000 points of marines was in early editions to now.

What he means is drop the total point cap for standard game modes.

painted a mini to about 80% complete and I've never been so pleased with a miniature in my life.
So this is what it feels like to be proud of something

Good for you user - show us this beauty

thanks for the advice, this is by no means a finished guy, I haven't done the bolter or weapon yet

But lowering the "standard" doesn't do anything because no one cares. If you make an actual rules change (such as increasing the cost of everything), it will be certain to change your average game size.

So... inconvenience everybody to satisfy the few?

Well yes, if the point was to make the game overall more skirmish-like.
The kind of Skirmish where you have Roboute Guilliman facing off against Abaddon the Teddy Bear.

How is it an inconvenience? If you just increase the point cost of everything by a flat percentage, then people need less models for a small 1000 point game.

Then increase the cost of everything so that people can field a tournament/competitive/1850/2000 point game for roughly $200-250.

>needing to counter hanmer of wrath

Its not even that good ffs. Take your ASF shit back to Fantasy where it belongs: dead.

It would be great fun but then your average IG 2000 point list would be 1 Command Squad and 2 Infantry Platoons.

Why would increasing ALL point costs do anything? All that would change is the standard point thresholds would increase to compensate

put that nob

put that nob into the fucking naut

Not if GW says 1k or 1.5k is now the tournament standard and if you don't follow that they won't endorse your tournament anymore.

This, of course, is after bringing back world wide GW held tournaments and creating other incentives to get unofficial TOs onboard.

I will put my knob in your naut, you filthy greenskin slut

Looks bretty good. I think your highlight colour is a bit too different from the base colour, and maybe slightly too thick, but other than that it's good. Just practise thinner lines

>asf
what

nda until the 13th

Always Strikes First
special rule in fantasy that mostly elves have
Means they get to attack first in a combat regardless of initiative
if the one striking first also has higher ini they get to reroll to hit

elf shit, gave you benefits from using heavy 2 handed weapons but none of the downsides

>what do you think of this

I think close combat is already nerfed enough as it is in 40k. A unit which is able to run the gauntlet of firepower an IG army can throw out deserves to start ruining their shit in close combat without having to get slapped around at I10 first.

How can GW get more people to play?

Everyone at my FLGS who played either quit and plays Armada or board games or just does painting now.

Are you for fucking real?

considering elves are about as tough as wet tissuepaper but more expensive its fine

Fixing the rules, mainly

Not punishing people for playing certain armies.
Also good army deals.

New rules, re-balance factions, make it more newbie-friendly like AoS

>make it more newbie-friendly like AoS

AoS already exists as the newbie-friendly game. Please don't strip away the last reserves of depth 40k still has.

if they went back and revisited some of the kirby era pricing it would be a huge help for tyranid players and a few others (why are MANz 51 dollars for a box of three, for example)

>nuker
yeah not buying. i'll keep playing DoW2

You clearly don't understand what newbie-friendly means

So he didn't read it before he posted? The proposal was to make them strike simultaneously (and then promptly get their shit slapped in melee if that didn't arrest the charge)

Would limiting the distribution of those weapons to weak/squishy tarpit units balance it sufficiently?

>Jarvan IV: Space Marine

If there's no game mode in the future where I can ban all Elites and have a DoW1 skirmish then the only good (not even that good) from this are the models being ripped to TTS.

the deathwatch guy is inquisitor TOTH?! bullshit.

>Would limiting the distribution of those weapons to weak/squishy tarpit units balance it sufficiently?

No, because the sorts of units which depend on high Initiative have low Toughness and poor to non-existent saves. If they don't hit first, it doesn't matter if your own attacks are weak, they'll still be enough to cause casualties. It's a flat-out bad idea that punishes melee units for trying to do what they're supposed to be good at, in an edition which already heavily favours shooting.

The one eyes wonder Ogryn and his 2 nuts

Who is the Deathwatch guy?

This story it's so fucking lame.

I assume that's one of the many tasks being performed by the 10,000-strong choir; he's constantly being healed, but the Throne is constantly tearing him apart again.
More grimdark and/or absurd that way.
