Warhammer 40000 General /40kG/

With what army?

god they look stupid.

looking for suggestions on what to add to this guy to make him a bit more interesting. So far i'm thinking ammo pouches and purity seals

it never did, it was a min range on indirect shots, but no min range on direct shots

I play Marines and Nids.

They ignore penalties to shoot it and can attack it in cc thanks to the fly ability

transports are worth it, take it from a salty admech player

How many Ghostkeels should I be running in a 2000 point army?

Don't add ammo unless he's carrying a gun.

asking again
>So what is the emperor bringing you tomorrow
>What have you got for your friend?
>What did you get your family
>Do you have small ones?
>Do the believe in the Fat red bastard?
>Why is my depression slowly getting worse
Merry christmas for all of you all and have a good holiday

What have people used for female inquisitors since the old gw ones are gone? What conversions have you guys done? Would like to do the new Celestine head on a sister of silence with an executioner sword with a plasma pistol on her hip but I can't find Celestine bits.

Why do the ignore the penalties to shoot at it? Also they can't kill it in a round of close combat so what's the point? It just flys away and continues to shoot with its stupid fucking auto hit guns.

Does a Grenade Launcher fire hand grenades or specialised shots?

Don't really see a problem with them. They look like they might do mild damage at best.

It should have a weapon profile of its own

They cast smite and have 2 S12 AP-4, D2 guns that auto hit. I can't put a tank on the table without it getting bracketed on the first turn by just one and my opponent runs 2.

They fire the grenade profiles for Frag and krak so in my opinion they are not worth it

The belt needs something, I reckon line it with pouches or purity seals. You could potentially sculpt some trim onto the edges of the chest plate. And maybe add something to the corners of the tabbard, like little corner arrows, although I guess you could just paint them on.
He looks really cool though, how hard was he to convert?

...

More locks and call it the emperors chastity belt

Why is everything Prime these days ? Primaris, Tyranid Prime, Primus etc

Thanks for the help, but I'm retarded.
Was asking about the nade launcher in Only War.

What army are you playing?

Marines and Nids

not to be an asshole but his waist appears larger that his chest. I think that is what makes him look off. Its still really good work though.

Not that guy but have you ever played against them? I routinely play against 2 and they can effectively remove a vehicle on their own on the first turn. Especially if their target is doomed.

Probably no more than one or two. They're short range dedicated anti tank. Specialized.

I played against 1, but I guess I can see why 2 would be rough. I usually kill the 1 he has turn 1.

Besides the obvious Greyfax? Neave Blacktalon from AoS might be a neat base for one if you can get your hands on her, or you could use one of her heads for your Sister of Silence. Currently holding out hope that the Newcromunda Van Saar or Delaque gangs will have a lady or two, they would look a lot more inquisitorial than trying to make something out of Escher.

this one is prettier

Wrong thread. Look for 40k RPG general.

That helmet would work well as an inquisitors custom helmet if you are not big on seeing her face.

Unless you're using a Primaris Intercessor squad, for some reason.

Yeah, I know now, that's why I said I was retarded. And there isn't one, guess I'll wait around.

I was planning on having a holstered pistol somewhere on the model so I figured maybe add some ammo
It's my first real attempt at heavily converting something but it's not been too bad so far, mainly covering up stormcast bits with plasticard and some gap filling and clipping.
I agree it is a bit on the thick side, I think i'm a bit too far along to really change it now so I'm just going to have to live with his pear shaped body

Shame there is neither OrkStealer Cult, nor Ork Genestealer Cult.

How are you killing it in one turn? I'm assuming your opponent isn't going all out with the cheese on it?

Can we address the fact that Lorgar sent a bunch of his Marines into the Eye of Terror knowing almost nothing about it, leading to them getting raped and possessed. What a fucking coward. Even most of the other shitty Primarchs would have gone into the Eye themselves. I think we can all agree, he is the most worthless thing the Emperor created. Does anyone actually like this useless fuck?

Inquisitor Rita there in the center is the best I could do with conversions. Used some Sisters of Silence parts and a Witch Elf head and some Guard Commander and Space Marine parts. Sister of Silence bodies are a decent base I'd say.

I assumed the question was about the Guard Grenade Launcher. The Auxiliary Grenade Launcher specifies in the Intercessor profile that it just extends the range of a regular grenade

He's not even the most important character in his own legion.

>I think i'm a bit too far along to really change it now so I'm just going to have to live with his pear shaped body
Yeah it's far too late for that. If it were me I would test to see if adding the pistol, pouches and grenades to the belt may help hide the pear shapeness. Also maybe add a skull or ][ to his centre chest.

Hope you guys are having a nice Christmas, are you doing anything special for tonight that's maybe 40k related or something?

I am not a huge fan of the face, and I'm trying to get better at painting flesh, which is why I'm avoiding just using a helmet.
I forgot about witch elves, the psycho scream face always makes me chuckle. I will check into them though.

He's alright, fella. Don't get so worked up about it; You'll get the grumpy-dumpies.

i am extremely tempted to go to my local and get a primaris etb dread for the "build the stuff you got foe xmas" day on the 27th

Smite and Tank Commanders usually do most of the damage.

for the center of the chest i'm thinking about adding adding my chapter badge (or maybe even just an eye)

No one likes lorgar. They like the Word Bearers

No offense but the dude you're playing must be fucking awful.

That Hemlock should be be on the back table edge and entirely out of smite range and he should be popping Lightning Reflexes to have his tank at a total of -3 to be hit. No wonder you don't think they're very good.

Lorgar was supposed to be this Machiavelli-tier villain who set up the whole Heresy behind everyone’s back and executed his plan to near perfection, with a wit and fervor that balances his comparatively weak and limited skills as a general/warrior. Sadly we got BL executing the whole thing wrong, and instead get a cowardly supersoldier whose own stated beliefs don’t add up, and who wouldn’t in a billion years mastermind a plan half as complex as the fall of the Primarchs.

On the flip side, Guilliman walked out of the BL stories consistently looking like a champ. The UM Stuff was fun, Calth Stuff was great

Hey 40kg, I haven't played 40k since 5th edition however I'm thinking of fishing out my old army from my parents place next time I see them to repaint and play. It's blood angels, what are they like nowadays what's your average BA army and will i need to buy a bunch of new things to get started?

No one likes Word Bearers either.

For something that small I'd either go for the eye or just the castle and paint the eye on. Unless you are a sculpting god. But yeah the chest could use some iconography.

How are you even in smite range? Does he not deploy them on his back table edge?

you should be good to go, google the 8th ed primer, its free

First list for dark angels after their codex came out.

The Master will be my warlord I and I will give him the warlord trait Huntsman which lets him shoot Characters even if they are not the closes model.
Him and the lieutenant will deepstrike into cover with the scouts to snipe characters while giving them re-roll 1 to hit and to wound.
The master will upgrade his storm bolter into the Foe-Smiter 24" rapidfire 2 s4 ap-1 d2.

Ravenwing will go in a big mob using Speed of the Raven, and Weapons From the Dark Age stratagems.

My main questions are should I bother with the apothecarie, drop the extra Lieutenant & master, spend CP on giving the Talonmaster the Heavenfall Blade, and is Brilliant strategist really a 100% auto take for the warlord trait?

argel tal made people like them.

Argel Tal is an ADB character. People shouldn't give a fuck about him or his waifu.

The first heretic is from before the fall of ADB. This is revisionist hate.

No offense, but you guys sound kind of bad.

I feel like you are spending to many points in HQ. Bigger squads of knights wouldn't hurt if you can trim HQ back. Not sure how useful apothecaries really are either.

I personally don't play DA so there's that too.

dark reapers

My dude dark reapers counter everything

I'm really curious - how are you getting smite in range on turn 1? It is possible to make that 100% impossible if you have any knowledge of the game.

Truth. They make shit go away. Easily one of the best units for Eldar

Well if they are in range to hit me with their D-Scythe then I'm in range to hit them with Smite. I'm not sure how this is so hard to follow. It's still turn 1 if I go second. Not to mention Hellhounds and Heavy Flamers. With a proper set up, no matter where they go, there will be damage ready to be dealt to them.

One of the best in thr game full stop.

To any Tau players, how hard is it to magnetize the Hammerhead/Devilfish to make it swappable between the two?

Dark Reapers are good but also can get fucked over very, very easily. Hitting on 3+ is a brilliant fak u to all the -hit spams, but 10 of them is 270 points and, at the end of the day, is still just 10 T3 3+ wounds that go away very, very quickly.

Good, but without proper support fall very flat. And most people leave them without proper support expecting they’re good to just fly solo

I mean how many smites are you pushing out? Factoring in that the Hemlock can deny and has a 6+ against smite to boot.

So does Cadia eventually orbit around its sun away from the Eye of Terror eventually? Can't Black Crusades just go... Down out of the Eye? Something doesn't seem right.

This is true - I always have a garbo warlock to conceal or protect mine. In cover its really nice have a 2+ against no rend or rend -1.

Reposting today's penguinpost OC for your reactionary needs.

cadia when it existed had necron pylons on it. They made the gate.

Mighty Morphing Power Inquisition?

...

Magnus

11 wounds at t3 3+ that are in cover, and -1 hit from alaitoc, and maybe another -1 hit from strat, and another +1 save from a warlock, and maybe 5+++ from a farseer. People run Devs in top tourney list all the time and reapers are better than them, 270 isn't much at the end of the day for 10 missile launcher shots.

6. And that's true, it does have the 6+++ which has helped some before. 2 would probably be much more annoying. Although they both can't be -3 so I guess I could just try kill the -2 one first.

Still doesn't track - hellhound does what 7 hits on average? 4 wounds? Hemlock makes 2 saves, saves another with spirit stones so 1 total wound? you got 12 hellhounds or something?

I hope one day to create enough penguin edits to make a General Thread image.

God I love conversions

6 smiters casting 3-4 smites a turn I'm assuming

Ork conversions too. That should be the warboss GW is selling for 40k

Yes! Gotta get some Custodes to be my giant gold men. Maybe some Acolytes made up to be like Putties.

I dislike the skull on his shoulder. It means every warboss looks the same, even when converted as well as that.

Makes me want to replay Space Marine because that Warboss was a cute.

here's the warboss I'm currently making
