/40kg/ Warhammer 40k General

...

...

Ya, I wonder sort of stuff we'll be getting. Lot's of the stratagems seem really good for the Fight phase so fingers crossed.

Curious to see Warlord Traits, Raveners, Trygon Prime, Mawloc and Red Terror. This is some good shit.

Those infestation nodes look cool

lots of customization, sweet

Looks cool, maybe a light drybrush over the skin though since right now it looks a little drab. Perhaps some touches of Nurgle's Rot here and there too.

Feels like it's just gonna be genestealers, the army.

They outclass most melee of all armies, let alone in terms of internal balance. Half the codex is fast melee guys, why bother when you can just take genestealers?

Meh, Kronos looks just like Behemoth.

Because I'm not WAAC and rather take Raveners because fluffy reasons. I mean with a Red Terror around with index rules they hit on a 2+ with re-rolling 1's, it's about as good as gene stealers, throw on spine-fists and you get 4 shot pistols (sure they go up to I think 26 points a model) but, it sounds fun to me. And that is a bit more important than just out right domination of dumping a wall of Genestealers on the board and re-imagining the near destruction of the Blood Angels. As, unquestionably effective as they are, I might take a unit of them because I'm not against tuning to be effective, I just like making something fluffy and effective.

Hyrda Hormagaunt hordes with Caustic Blood looks nasty imo too.

Jormungr look a bit weird with the yellow/orange.

Hydra are meh too.

Jormungr = Tau'nids

2 minutes late
We'll save this thread for later
Until then:

Gorgon a best.

Good. People were bitching 8th ed. was turning into another shooting edition. I said we should wait until we saw an actual assault army get a codex and I'm glad to see GW gave Nids the tools to be scary as such an army.

That one has no 40kg.

I found this one, not your shitty one, so how about YOU fuck off.

Thousand Sons codex when? I've been holding off on buying models and I want them now!

I wish and hope december.

Best traitor legion by far

That's not Mortarion.

where did all these nid leaks come from?

...

The livestream

*magnus

Called 'em

That one was a surprise though and complete shit, Jormugandr's not too great either in that iteration.

Jesus fucking Christ

Magnus is a giant red turd.

Mortarion is an autistic underachiever who has had 3 dads and hated all of them. Clearly he's the best.

Oh hey are you that user that was asking about converting the DP in the WIP thread a few days back? Definitely worked out well but the the skin seems a bit dry & almost stone-like. Some Nurgle's Rot certainly couldn't go amiss either

>His own first captain hated him
>Doomed his entire legion because too weak to stand some suffering.
>Basically a bitch now because Nurgle loves Typhus more than him

I bet he hates himself too

Can anyone identify the treads on this tank? A lot of it is scratch built, but they don't seem like they are.

Honestly looks like remote control car treads.

Infestation nodes seem like a poor man's homing beacon.

Looks like oppressor pattern tank treads from the ebay user machinator248

Those seem to be it, thanks. Anyone bought from this guy before? His other stuff actually seems pretty interesting too, but I'm worried about quality.

What are good special/heavy weapons for Catachan infantry squads? I counter charge with them a lot but for 2-3 turns they sit there shooting. I have them with a boltgun and power sword at the moment.

I bought his spike strips, they were pretty OK but hard to remove from the sprue, but thats probably to be expected given the nature of the product. I haven't bought any of his treads or turrets though.

What Eye-Color do Tau have / What color should I paint them?

fuck off reeee, include 40kg next time

Top kek

He's wearing a helmet, why is the light hurting him?

Its a lasgun

Let's be real here lasguns aren't nearly that effective

Light sensitivity plus night vision gear.

Night Lords don't need night vision.

Guess he didn't get the memo.

That's....that's part of what preysight is...

What makes a good entourage for fabulous bill, I was thinking mutilators?

mutilators are ass

Possessed

>crushing claws still useless

Yes, but the human is fine without it

Are they? They looked pretty strong like obliterators.

Oh, because they have 2 wounds?

Sure, and they can be taken in decent squad sizes and benefit from melee buffs.

I assume you footslog them in large squad sizes then?

sanguinary guard or terminators for a blood angel player?

leather clothing, lube and condoms

>tfw the Megas have Left for dead and Down Amongst the Dead Men, the two short stories written about the Death Korps of Krieg, but not Dead Men Walking, the only full-length novel written about them.

This is suffering.

Today's Daily Duncan is how to paint the armour of one of the that'll most likely be in the Tau codex.
Either that codex is soon or very far off in that case? Cause subfaction painting generally accompanies the codex release.

Their last book was such a cocktease at the end of the last edition. Hoping for a few new units as well - even if it's just the AoS stuff.

Sanguinary Guards if you want to play them with your warlord for the rerolls, Termies otherwise. I think SGs will become better once their gear gets a cost reduction.

I hope it is soon, with necrons they are the most in need of a buff.

So one thing I am thinking...

Genestealer Cultists have the Tyranid keyword. I am imagining using some of the stratagems on them, since they can be in a separate detachment.

Biocannon Primus or auto-repairing Goliaths?

Sacea.
Perfect for the occasional user who asks about painting that one.

I have the book in paper user. Now if only I knew where it was...

You better thank the Emperor before going to bed today...

Thank you, user. You are truly a kind soul.

Should i take dire avengers or wraiths as my main troops

Necrons look outta luck for a long time

Many, MANY times garbage. Can't help repair, made of paper, overtaxed guns with Guard BS at best. If you don't mind taking something else from the Skitarii list you could just take 5 Vanguard or Rangers with some plasma calivers, model them as cool combat servitors/Tech-Adepts and get WAY more use from them, or burn a CP to take an Electropriest escort and model them like my electroservitors. Could even make some Praetorians from Ogryn and use the Kataphron or Guard Bullgryn rules, although those are pretty damned high-class for an Enginseer.

How would I go about painting those armour plates? Which paints should I use?

What is a decent way to strip plastic without damaging it?

>Own Guard and Necrons
>Index Necrons are trash
>Know that if I start painting Guard, Cron book will come out and I'll probably sell the Humies

Maybe I should just bite the bullet and become a Guard player instead. Will finally stop being a 2nd class GW citizen.

...

Just remember never to take firearms form and Ork.

The feels are too great not to share with others...

But not the

The citadel butt plug is £5, a lot cheaper than I would have guessed.

Are you guys getting it?

I'm buying my boy a fire raptor, because a spartan is a LoW and I don't want him to be called scum for cheesing one into a game.
Am I being a good bro, or am I doing him wrong?
I really wanted to buy him a Caestus, because I love the models and the fluff and he has cataphratii, but they have been sold out since forever.
Also, is there any place that sells FW pieces for cheaper than their website that isn't a recaster? I don't play the game myself, and I know not the ways of sensible 40k pricing.

First for the necrons.

No I'm not interested in starting a dark angels collection

Probably, though I've moved onto pinning all muy new purchases by their feet.. I've thousands of points of grey Orks for before my conversion.

Denatured ethanol or "red ethanol". Buy a gallon from your local department store. It will not damage plastics, but is flammable and there's an explosion risk if you don't properly seal the container, but it's not dangerous unless you inhale or digest large quantities of the stuff

It's not. Anons were using at as proof that it's a specific anti-daemon adaptation. It wasn't.

Price is okay, probably will.

Depends, if it's cheap and easy to break then no.

Huuuuuuue

Have a (You), ya sassy bastard

>Are you guys getting it?
This is up there with the moldline remover in terms of pointlessness, so no

>form and ork
i think its time to put daddy emps in an old people's home

It looks like steel pins, so it might actually be able to take some force.
