my dudes > your dudes

my dudes = your dudes

my dudette's > your dudette's

my girls > your dudes

you sexist chauvinist

I'm having a really hard time killing these things with 7 russes. What would you recommend for them?

I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes yeah

>7 russes
>Hard time killing things

You need more russes is what you need.

Those Russes are about to have their firepower doubled, see if that fixes things

So how bout that Warhammer

Literally the best command squad.

>faeit makes post a rumor of some commenter on the bols rip off site
>says sisters are last codex of the year

This fuck is setting everyone up for failure again.

What, the bunkers? Just fucking go around them, dumbass. If dudes in bunkers, get objectives and who cares. If dudes not in bunkers, shoot dudes.

Also 7 russes? That should at least chip off 10 wounds a turn, you waacfag cunt

Beware the evil of discordfags.
They are natural born thread killers.

Anybody remember when speculation from /40kg/ showed up as 'legit 8th edition rule leaks' on faeshit? That was hilarious.

I'm pretty sure the fix to most problems is more russes. If that doesn't fix it get more Baneblades.

Tbqh I'm heavily considering buying that and the sniper sets to convert into my Skitarii army. I don't even like snipers and already have enough, but hot damn are they pretty models

NOVA confirmed we won't see Sisters until late next year at the absolute earliest, and even that should not be misinterpreted as "Sisters are coming".

>tfw no plastic

>Using discords associated with Veeky Forums of any type

Settin yourself up for failure.

What are you fighting? Looks like Plague Marines. What you need are Demolishers or Nova Canons so they don't get much cover.

...

>roping me in with all these other WAAC fags
Do you see how old my russes are?
Look here guy, I'm a simple man who likes tanks. I lose to Infantry heavy armies that like to charge often. Relaxes my friend.

Ok this is the termy lord I am working on, I'll post more angles and a picture of what I am going for.

He's slaaneshi, he's going to have the murder sword probably.

I need to do something to the sword, I'm not done with GS yet.

>Hordes of regular tanks won't achieve a breakthrough guardsmen?
>Have you applied baneblades to the situation?

This Tbqh senpai.

Other angles

That sword needs spikes user. Or change it to a whip.

Keep posting WiP tho.

This is the look I am going for on the green parts.

The jagged sections I cut are teeth, and the diamond parts will be eyes

What army is the most JoJo?

Blood Angels.

I confess I can't see what you're trying to do with the greenstuff.
I myself have a Greenstuffed Termie Lord, but not like that, it was just his melee arm being replaced with a fleshy tentacle with bone spikes protruding along the length.
Oh I see what you're going for now, I like it.

Blood Angels.

It's supposed to be pitch black creeping up and around his armor, because that is really what he is now, just holding onto the armor.

Eyes and teeth abound though

Get more heavy flamer sponsons, suck less

Should I paint my dudes as raven guard or paint them metallic blue like pic related (but not alpha legion) ?

Look, Waac-ness aside I want a lord of War guard tank in my army, and I'd love to know if any Guardfags could help me out.


The core of the army will be like 3 basilisks in the back, with 2-3 Battle Cannon russes up front slowly but surely moving. Also, some scion squads with melta/plasma to DELET whatever looks pesky turn one. On top of that, a bunch of infantry squads (5? 6?) with two or so heavy weapons lads tagging in the back, either with missiles, autocannons, or lascannons.

So with all that coming to roughly 1500 (with a definite need to mess around with some stuff, I'm not sold on basilisks over a taurox prime or Russ for instance- funnier models and rules), what superheavy should I do? Stormlord is great for that mid-heavy Fire, baneblade is the OG takeall, shadowsword is a walking fuck you to other superheavies, plus all the other variations. What should I do bros???

I can see why Slaaneshi Mutations would have a lot of eyes and teeth.
so it is that the Lord itself is mutating into a shadow monster?

Metallic blue is not a good sneak color

I'm more about goes fast than sneak. I like the decapitation strike/asymmetrical warfare angle of the raven guard than just sneaking through bushes sneakily.

I kind of highlighted the sections on the front that are eyes and teeth.

I think I am going to have a demon prince who is the head honcho? But this is definitely a high up Lord

>Why demolish the walls when you can walk through the opened gate

Nice.

Now purple on the other hand

Genuinely not sure what you mean by nice

Why?

After catching up on the previous threads I felt making this was necessary.

That is fanon. The Sneakiest Git himself waears camoflage.

Fair enough, I just realised the eyes and colour scheme might make your Lord seem Tzeentch aligned but it fits.
My Daemon Princes answer to my Termie Lord in my warband.

Do I get Death Guard?

I already have CSM. I really enjoyed painting the Dark Imperium Deathguard I won at an FLGS contest.

Do Deathguard suck though?

The armor is going to be EC HH colors, and then all of the green stuff is going to be pitch black, white teeth, haven't decided on the eye color.

Something slaaneshi

But the fanon version is more funny and fits the orkz theme better.

Handsome muscular vampires in ostentatious clothing.

You could use Emperor's Children pink for the eyes, with Fulgrim pink edge to highlight them.

Yep, probably.


This image depicts the scene that is really the inspiration for the model

And VERY erect nipples, that even power armour cannot contain.

From my own experience and through what I see other people saying they are very firmly above average. If you have a group that lets models like Mortarion survive past turn 2 then DG can be A tier.

Nice, best of luck finishing the greenstuff and painting it, I hope it turns out well.

Nipple plate best Plate. I wish i could put it on all my marines.

If you already have stuff built and painted, just try out different combinations until you find one you like. Since you’re going for Mechaguard you’ll want to make sure you can quickly deal with enemy anti-vehicle, usually by making the infantry perform that role while the armor is the anti-infantry and cover while the Basilisks pound things into dirt. With that in mind, a regular Baneblade would serve you well. If you want the armor to kill big things and infantry to kill little things, take a Banesword to park in the back.

Reminds me of this

So I use battlescribe mobile when I am at the LGS, and I got their dice roller tool. Do people not like phone rolling for 40+ roll actions? I want to cut down on time when my ork army is put together.

I have been meaning to watch that

But yes, similar concept

I use them, and can reliably table people by turn 5/6, but I think my local scene is fairly bad at 40k. You do want a demon prince if you go DG, and the crawlers are pretty solid (4+ to hit sucks but they still do work). You basically need to focus hard on synergy to get anything going. Oh and cultists with no heavy weapon penalty and 18" rapid fire are kind of scary

I guess it could be more prone to abuse?

watch the abridged version on youtube. some of the humor is dated but you get basically the same show but with jokes

A lot of point values and available options in Battlescribe are incorrect

It's not hard to do some shady stuff with dice roller tools.

I would roll with them watching over my shoulder if that helps. I don't want to make it sneaky.

Sure I get that some can be shady but it seems like BS is at least a known commodity so they have no reason to release a cheat program. I wouldn't use any other roller just because my opponents would have no reference to their reliability. I also get that they make mistakes in the rules but that doesn't effect whether a RNG program works

Depends on the dice. If you're obviously cheating with something like forge world dice, I'll whip out my phone and make you use the rolling app on it, or download the app on your phone if you don't trust me.

While the abridged version is worthwhile, you owe it to yourself to watch the Ultimate in full. Then watch the original anime because it's even more batshit.

Even if I'm watching you, how do I know the app isn't dodgey? Easier to rig an app than dice.

You're playing orks man, enjoy the dice. 40 isn't even that many.

Could offer to let them use the app

Whats wrong with FW dice ?

I-Its a meme user

They roll 6s a little under 17% of the time and a portion of every purchase goes to support charities that deny the holocaust.

...

Weird proportions, but this kind of "baroque" look is one GW is unfortunately neglecting for a long time.

Ever since I read bleach ripped old men have been my aesthetic non sexual fetish

>opponent uses a dice rolling app
>really bothers my autism especially since he uses it for like 40 gaunt attacks and not even huge stuff
>after the game I ask him if he has a minute
>show him my patented meathod for rolling massed dice quickly that I developed in 7th when I played with 4 wyverns and 8th since I regularly play with 100 and now 60 conscript blocks
Feel like a did a good service, dice rolling apps go against the feel of the game to me.

Do you guys ever come up with that perfect list? That list that includes all the models you worked hard on, your favorite models lore wise, your favorite models rules wise, and the perfect balance of shooting, melee and physic powers.

They're certainly more convinient, but you're right that rolling physical dice feels so much better

most dice aren't balanced properly, especially chessex and the old GW mini dice.

dice apps are closer to random then actual dice.

No, I mainly come up with lists for models I don't own and will probably never own, and even if I did own would never have time to paint.

Did someone say conversions!?

...

Everyone else is using unbalanced dice though, except for the one weirdo in my club who literally has $100 worth of casino dice

...

...

...

I know, but thats the benefit of using the dice app over dice.

Also casino dice only work when they have a backboard to bounce off of and felt to land on.

i paid an autistic guy to run a chi square test on all my dice.

...

I remember this.

...

...

...

How would you stat Saturnine terminators were forgeworld release models?

...

What is that made of?

Give it shit movement but like a 3+ invuln.

Remember when the back of a codex used to have sweet conversions and award winning paint schemes?

2+ on 2d6 with a 5++ and the cataphractii special rule of halving run distances.
