Warhammer 40000 General /40kg/

Have you ever hot glued one of your SoB minis?

Vect

Sly Marbo

I just started a GSC army.
Should I reevaluate my life?

The Dove Purists

still not better than an eversor assassin, but probably cheaper

Angry Spider Dad's Fine and Friendly Fellows.

sons of the anus

more of the lads if that helps

it was asking for the coolest, not the best

Thats totally a Malice cult dude with the big ass spider thing.
Something like the Group of Discrepancy.

and there big mama

ooh i like this one

oh shit haven't even considered malice. They were going to be undivided. I don't know much about Malice

How to play Tau? I don't really understand when and how you're supposed to use markerlights.

Old One Eye

how to play Tau 101:

open your bin
place models within
reevaluate your life
pick an army that's actually cool instead

>oh shit haven't even considered malice.
I've referenced this a lot with my personal Malice force. Very well written.

>literally just a nameless bioorganism like every other tyranid
>coolest character

And I say this as a tyranid player.

Combat drugs.
Not even once.

IG shotgun veterans are very good if they’re going to be jumping out of a transport, high synergy with flamers and meltas.

I’ve seen people use a demolisher with three heavy flamers as a retarded hellhound with decentish results.
Firstborn get to extend the range of it by 6” so a firstborn commander with twin multimeltas and a lascannon is good.

Leman Russ

Hot

Wew, is it just me or do those Loci for daemons suck ass?

Marbo is an out of date meme

He didn't ask for gayness.

I dont think this is that bad. His explosives ability doesnt specify him being near anything, but that it needs to be on the field. You can use him to grab maelstrom objectives, blow up a tank or flier or something, fade out, and appear near another maelstrom objective.

Pretty sweet versatility, even if he's t3 5+

it's just you

there imagery and aesthetic is cool but there fluff is kinda alpha-legion tier

No, no. The gayness may continue for... research.

>He didn't ask for gayness.
Well you could just ignore Magnus if he bothers you too much

>sprue only comes with one of the weopons you can take two of

surely you mean
retconned / 10

>sprue only comes with one weapon that can't be taken this edition

>The pain of being a mon'keigh
Why can't I hold all this scatterlasers?

Bolters or Flamers for Rubrics?

>sprue comes with one of the weapons you can take 4 of
>DE in a nutshell
I really want to retry my recasting, but the first time I tried only 2/8 pieces were salvageable, the Power Sword and the Blast Pistol.

Right now, only bother with one counter unless you REALLY need something dead. Focus fire is the name of the game.

Its not just you.
The khorne one is underwhelming in MANY cases
The tzetch one is useless when you do the math
The nurgle one is useful for me but useless because it's not spill over damage
Slaanesh is alright but requires the warlord follow along and is hilariously way better than khornes

That picture always gets a (You) out of me. Does anyone actually think the endless marines vs spiky marines wankery is a compelling narrative? They're barely even human for fuck's sake.

So just once per unit or what?

I was talking about my warwalker...

Dark Eldar are easily my least played army this year. Given there's no sweet Drukhari box sets comparable to Calth or Prospero, and that people haven't been swarming out of their faction at the new edition unlike Tau, I've also not got as many points worth of them versus my Chaos and Farsight armies.

What's meta for them right now? How are they performing? I've heard they have trouble against hordes-- is that problem insurmountable, and how do they perform when compared to Craftworlders?

How do you think he'll look like on the tabletop? A Guilliman-esque statline with better melee but worse buffing is my guess. If he gets some sort of specific anti-Magnus feature (ignore invulns/strong deny/FnP versus psychic powers) it'd be pretty funny.

>marines
>armywide -1 to hit, advance and charge
>guard
>hordes of s4 guardsmen, rerolling all misses gunlines
>tyranids
>3 dice to advanced, can’t be tarpitted
>daemons
>use only 1/4 of your codex and stand within 6” of character for... rerolls to charge
We’re being punished for Tzeentch being OP, he’s a giant fucking shitter who’s ruined it for everybody.
>inb4 daemons are good if you take nothing but 200 lesser daemons and princes

Dude, everything in the eldar line is convertible and compatible with everything else.

What do you need? Trueborn with blasters? Clip off the long barrels of dark lances, put them on the "action pose" models from the raider kit.

Haywire blasters? Attach the decorative blades to the end of weapons and paint it different.

Get creative, DE weaponsmiths should be in a constant arms race, so unique looking weapons should be your thing.

Yes.
That's what makes it great.

>No sprue

>sprue comes with 1 flail and 1 great axe, unit can take any 2 combination of the two weapons
>flails are dramatically better, axes are embarrassingly bad
>axes look so fucking cool though

>DE in a nutshell

How can I kitbash this dude to look a bit more Librarian-ish? I am gonna use him as my Libby. The wing on the arm I'm thinking of keeping, as my chapter are Blood Angel successors who are still very wingy

I've already spend $50USD+ in casting materials, I'm pretty sure I could get by with Oyumaru+Greenstuff casting... Spare Dark Lances fucking where? I use them, too.

it was just a joke reference to his fluff.
just chillax dude.

>>marines
>>armywide -1 to hit, advance and charge

Oh wow now I don't feel bad for alatoic, what the heck is this.

Put a book on his sword.

...

So would this guy be too big to work as a daemon prince proxy?

This sucks, but like said, conversions should be your bread and butter. Cut the rifle part off of a dark lance and put the tip on a splinter pistol-- you've just turned your dark lance into a blaster and blast pistol. Get creative my dude!

Hang a book from his hip I guess.

for how pretty the models are DE are cheap, it's great.

the head is so bad

give him longer sword
add book and a scroll or three

Unironically Abaddon.
I don't care for the stale memes. He is a ruthless Cthonian barbarian that is fighting to liberate the husk of the Imperium against impossible odds, trying to unite the shattered Legions invoking respect and brotherhood in his warriors, all the while trying to win at any cost and never backing down.
He is simply the best and I couldn't be happier that current BL writers are finally doing him justice with their writing.

nah. he's bigger but not by to much.

Add a book somewhere.
Headswap + psychic headgear in GS.
Paint helmet blue.

Sadly 2H swords don't really look like a spellcaster.

It's mostly the paintjob from what I can tell it looks better without paint.

I love helper pepe.
He's like a better nurgling.

> that face
Whoever drew that needs to stop. Like forever

I want to say Vect, but in my heart of hearts I know it's Ahriman. He's a villain motivated by a sincere and unwavering commitment to do good and to hope for the future. He's tragic while still being evil, but in a lot of ways despite this you kind of want him to succeed. Who knows? Maybe he's right. That kind of depth isn't really achieved by any other 40k character imo.

It's the shitty citadel paint job.

>deepstrikes 15 plasma pistol wielding Death Company marines behind you

>wow this weapon sucks, but man holy crap it would be amazing against terminators
>repeat adnausseum

And this is why terminators suck.

>what's meta

3 razorwing jet fighters
3 ravagers
6+ venoms
Stuff to put in it

>How are they performing

Not great

>deal with hordes

We have plenty of mass attack units in melee but no mass shooting, the best we can do is shard carbines which is 3 poison shots, no ap or shredders which are d3 shots s5 no rend reroll wounds. It's kind impossible without dedicating a large portion of points to it at which point you'll probably still lose.

>vs craftworld

They have a codex and are thus much more powerful and in are stronger in pretty much every phase.

It's not just you, I'm pretty okay with the Slaanesh one, but I'm really hoping these Loci are just bonuses for dedicating to a single god and not the meat of the army.

You would need to fire at least 2 markerlights to get a guaranteed hit of one markerlight on average.

They’re less powerful than craftworlds who are now, one of the top dogs again with their codex buffs.

They’re doing pretty well but splinter is as useless against hordes as always. The meta is darklight spam all the way.
Two archons with blasters and trueborn with blasters in a raider.
5 man kabalite teams with blasters in venoms
Ravangers with dark lances
And razorrrr whatevers, the jet fighters with the missiles, splinter rifles and lances.

It’s a super fast gunline list but don’t fooled, just because those three units outshine everything else it doesn’t mean thecrest of DE isn’t solid now (except for haemonculi who got nerf batted in to uselessness)

Probably not because I'm not a retard and I know how to properly screen.

Can't you fags enjoy a meme for once

Creed. He smokes cigars, has two pistols, a dope ass jacket, and he don't give a fuck bout no one.

>His explosives ability doesnt specify him being near anything,
Wait, it doesn't?
*Checks*
OH SHIT MARBO'S BEEN IN OUR CAMP! EVERYONE! GET OUT OF THE DEVILFI-
*Boom*

>Emperor tier
Thank you

Why does your WL have to follow along as opposed to a generic herald?

I was referencing the various traits marine both loyal and chaos can get.
Both have a -1 to hit trait but chaos also has a advance and charge they can put on their helbrutes and giant dreadnoughts.

>drops 5 eversor assassins behind your Death Company
