Warhammer 40k general /40kg

Gun casings dark red or black?

Flail of Corruption : Make d3 hit rolls each time you attack with this weapon.

Death to the False Emperor : Each time you roll a hit roll of 6+ for a model with this ability (vs imperium), immediately make an extra attack against the same unit using the same weapon.

So if I roll 3 attacks for the flail and 2 of them are 6s to hit... do I get 2d3 more attacks? or just 2? Seems insane but it'd definitely one way to read it and I haven't seen it in the faq but I might have just missed it.

I can concur, the only tau player at my LGS was the least liked person there even when he wasn't playing Tau, when someone else actually picked up Tau and then dropped them right before the end of 7th because they said they felt like an asshole playing them

why? now I have to figure out the equivalent colurs and they're only slightly cheaper

just paint the fucking model already. this time you've spent shopping and posting about it you could have used to paint it, strip it and repaint it if you were unsatisfied

NOBODY CARES

The problem with Tau is that the model line sucks. Fire warriors are some of my favorite sculpts in the game. Very cool, westernized, safe Alien aesthetic. Lots of smooth edges and just overall dope look.
And crisis suits are pretty cool too. And then things turn up to 11 and nosedive. So the only people that play Tau are either hyper weeaboo or WaaC
Captcha: magnus stop

citadel paints are generally higher quality, and it's easier to get actual paint colours since 40k is almost completely standardized with citadel colours.

Just asking for the ones that dont mind giving advice.

This is a long term project, I dont want to waste time painting something I'll have to strip in some time. It's just a general idea and a reference so I can send it to a comission painter

I think I'm doing something wrong mixing all this red and purple

How have all the infantry Tau players not eaten a bullet after realizing GW doesn't care about them?

2D3.
Yeah, it can get insane.
You need to be lucky though.

the same reason there are people who voluntarily choose to play non-cadian IG or sisters

We're a combination of pathetically masochistic and in denial that we'll NEVER EVER get support

The dubs speak truth, but it's a hard truth
I'd kill my wife's first son for a new guard infantry box

Yeah, your scheme is a little wonky. You've got the bottom right color scheme but the shade of each color is wrong so it's coming across as garish instead of cohesive.

Dropper bottles.

Given. The example actually happened in my last game, but amounted to rolling 3 6s on 4 dice so it's not likely going to happen again any time soon. I relented to his opinion that it was only 2 bonus attacks, but mostly just because 2 guys with flails basically ate his whole unit of conscripts anyway.

Thanks for the input.

Whats up with the height of this dude from the legion command set? I'm gonna use him as a company champion, buts he's like a head taller than his captain. (Its that older space marine commander set) the guy is almost as tall as primaris marines.

>pick up cadian models secondhand, been wanting to play steel legion for a year because I love artillery and black and yellow schemes, and grey and beige is a good contrast
>figure "I'll just paint my cadians as steel legionnaires, then deal with finecast conversion kits for veterans/commanders
>the entire line is still, and will always be metal

It hurts.

Cheaper, higher pigmentation and won't dry out as quickly. In sum, you get more bang for your buck.
GW washes are better, though.

...

That's Sigismund, before GW realized they could cash in big money making a stand alone worse model of the character

He's standing up straight, the marinlett next to him is crouching slightly

Is there any chance the official GW online store would send me the anniversary limited edition primaris captain? the closest gw store i have is 5 hours away from here. by plane.

Warhammer schemes are best based on a L instead of the pyramid, square or direct complimentary of traditional colour theory, those are meant for posters and billboards

That makes since then, cause i though that the resin was on par with their character series, unlike the usual crap you have to fuck with for an hour.

If you're gonna be here a lot you're gonna have to get use to people shitposting in favor or against Tau

You can always mail them and explain your desire to give them money for goods.

Trips witnessed and appreciated.
Personally, I love the idea of a unit of Arco-Flagellants getting War Hymn'd by a Priest. 3D3 attacks each, min unit size 3... imagine the possibilities provided you make the charge

Where did the Riptides touch you guys?

Holy hell. You're right. It works like that, at least until they FAQ it to say "make an additional hit roll against the same unit using the same weapon". I mean, I'm still certain the Flail will be 1-in-5 on the Terminators, but even so that weapon is an absolute steal for ten points.

You know they are just salty over 7th Tau.

Infantry Tau are fine m8

Quick post dudes and discuss what you are working on and hold the autistic lore discussions at bay! Speed painted Iyanden in pic related.

Which armies do you wish you could play against more? I've never actually got a chance to play against Guard, Eldar or their Dark cousins, and I wish I could play more Nids since it's always a good fight.

Been worning on my space marines side project. Got burnt out painting cultist.

trip 6s on a post about rolling 3 6s...

*xfiles theme*

Citadels are bretty good. Vallejo game are awesome, bc they are slightly thinner, and, come in eye dropper bottles.

P3 are some of the best, but, are thick and need to be watered down to the consistency of 2% milk

You applying with brush, or airbrush?

Had a big post typed out explaining to you why people dislike Tau for reasons different than that they lost to them once, but in reality I know all you want is a reply so here you go

What else did you expect from your dice, Satan?

In all honesty, I'd just interpret the 6's to produce 1 additional attack rather than to roll an additional "attack". But hey, I don't know shit.

currently working on my ork army, taking a while to paint because I put autistic amounts of time into each miniature

I was salty over 7th necrons, not tau.

I didn't really have issues with tau until 8e and I started seeing more tau players.

I'll let you off with a pass user... this time

They're here, spring the trap!

How likely would it be to come across loot from the Horus Heresy as an active Chaos Space Marine?

Would it be a weekly discovery? Yearly? Are their random renegades that just happen to find caches of old armour and guns?

Is it the "they are effectively playing a different game and work by taking away from other armies" pasta?

they look great. don't stop autising on them, it's worth every second.

>Finally get one of these fuckers to drop
>Sunbreakers
Fuck this gay earth. Also to answer your question, warp fuckery allows damn near anything to be possible in 40k so its well within the realm of plausibility for warbands to encounter their legion counterparts at regular intervals

Well the great crusade and Heresy were both super wide spread, but it was also 10,000 years ago, a time span fans and GW have a hard time understanding, we still find arrowheads and pottery from that long ago but it's not an every day thing, a crate of bolters or plasma guns would have rusted away to nothing unless it was kept in a sealed environment
So I'd say hunting for heresy era supplies would be like an archeological expedition, some nerd from the thousand sons has discovered records of a battle on this planet, or maybe some imperial fists fortress long lost to time, so you and your group head out to see if anything still of worth survived
So while I'd say they wouldn't be impossible to find you'd need to do actual work and not just hope to stumble on them if you want any consistency

Reminder that undivided princes exist in AoS, and that both Pert and Lorgar (the later specifically even in the latest codex) were said to have been elevated by all the gods.

keep shitpost arguments contained to 1 thread, autist, don't spill over arguments.

Yeah we all know that, there's only one faggot who loves to scream about it for the attention
What is frustrating is I can't make an undivided prince for some sort of bonus like in 3.5

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at Abbey Community College, and I’ve been involved in numerous competitive 40k games, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in the art of keyboard warfare and I’m the top troll in the entire Black Library stable. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. Then I'll write you in as some shitty stock character that gets his head blown off by Abbadon the Despoiler, while getting butt-fucked by some lesser demon. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting network Administrators at 4-Chan, and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can write about killing you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands, and, a pencil. Not only am I extensively versed in Chaos Lore, but I have access to the entire library of Games Workshop Black Library and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable faction of choice off the face of the this earth, you priviledged CYS male. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Neat. Thanks for the help guys. Trying to decide whether I do a Renegade chapter that's stumbled upon some Heresy era gear or a Traitor Legion warband that's chosen to keep their gear in top shape.

Mah boyz muv fasta since their red!

WAAAAAAAGH

*As and aside they are red do to...(TLDW)*
Planet infested with Orks gets devestated with few spores remaining, after a few weeks of the humans leaving, Bloodletters and other deamons of Khorne start coming because 'Muh Blood n' Skulls" and after the last remaining Orks died and Bloodletter's blood splilled on their spores these new red orks came out. They are more akin to fighting hand to hand then with guns (hence I only use Slugga/Choppa and my Meganobs use dual Killsaws)

Read this; good guess too btw!

Your boyz look like they've been having a few drinks lately.

Warp is magic realm, so whole worlds are swallowed up, then spit out, thousands of years later, pristine as the day they went missing. It allows you a lot of leeway in terms of campaign ideas.

Good one

Man, this hobby sure is a good way to turn yourself into a bitter, pessimistic asshole.

If you do a warband who kept their shit in repair thy need to be a legion that didn't flee to the eye like night lords or alpha legion, the warp is naturally corrupting and degrading
