Are those skulls all individual? How big are they?

Salty Death player from AoS?

>not

Two at the moment (Helbrute and Venerable (soon to be chaos), and I want to get the old metal chaos dreadnought.

Go back to /aosg/, salty bonehead.

that land raider looks nervous

no

Xenofags please leave this game is meant for power armour only

Anyone have a size comparison for the FW great unclean one and the new GW sculpt?

So how big is a custodes army at 1500pts like 15 models?

*laughs in lascannon*

They're the same size

are those tanks even good

why no sponson?

Pure custodes? yeah. 2 land raiders, 10 dudes, 1 dread is about 1490.

It's not the best LR variant but aside from the one with the anti tank canon they're all pretty great. It fires 5 lascanon shots a turn which is great for cost.

So I've just been given a collection of unpainted sisters from an uncle:

1 cannoness
17(!?) Sisters: 3 flamers, 1 hbolter, 1 storm bolter
1 exorcist
3 Pentinent engines
10 storm troopers.

Can I even make a legal list with the engines and storms?

That's around 800 points if I'm correct, what else am I looking at getting to round out to 1k?

>Xenos relegated to NPC fluff role
>Guard squatted
>AdMech gets their own type of super-Skitarii pseudo-marine or else squatted
>Sigmarines ported to 40k
>All in time for 9th Edition

A basic, no frills, Cusstoad is 52 point. so 20ish dudes is typical if you're also bringing a Dread and Raider.

What SM chapter is the most fascist/nazi/racist?

Just one so far but I have hopes to add a redemptor and a chaplain eventually

That must be the cheapest army retail. Its tempting.

if you want edgelord chapters those would be the space sharks, minotaurs, marines malevolent and iron hands

Marines Malevolent/Red Scorpions/Invaders

these guys, failing that red scorpions?

$70 for 5.

its ok.

expect the new bikes to be 70-100 for 3.

HQs to be $35 each.

Maybe we'll get lucky with a start collecting box.

How can GW be so out of touch to make new custodes before orks, sisters, noise marines, or fucking anything else

Lookin good but pls fix ur calligraphy

How boring would that be to play though. You would also never win

what have invaders done?

Remember to paint instead of shitposting.

Almost. You'd probably want an detachment for the sisters and an Imperium detachment for the STs and Engines. You'd need an additional Imperial HQ like a Primaris Psyker or Inquisitor (Greyfax is solid). You probably want a second Canoness too (Get Veridyan) so you can organize the Sisters into a Battalion.

Did you just re-use the image I posted last thread for a cheap bait?

Rolling for broken helmet on one of my bases

Space Wolves

cringe

>paint marines

Prediction. No new xeno models but instead Codex: Rogue Traders.

orange is too hard

How do the Death Korps of Kreig play compared to the core IG regiments? What kind of tactics work well with them? Their unit list looks really restrictive compared to normal guard but I'm considering playing my WWI styled dudes as them instead of as vostroyan like I have been.

We'll get a plastic regiment of Ratlings before we get Xenos anything again.

Kill a Craft World for no real reason and got themselves ganked as a result

Any recommendations for brushes or primer? I imagine it's a good idea to stick with citadel paints for the undercoats, layers, and shades; but are there any reasons to use the (what seem to me to be) extremely expensive brushes or spray primer?

If you can't beat them, join them.

>noise marines

I swear, half the people whining about "more power armour" are just upset it isn't THEIR flavour of power armour. People were whining saying why not SW/DA/etc models too.

>Imperials killing xenos
>for no reason

Killing xenos isn't fascists m8. When you step on a cockroach do you hand yourself into the police?

reddit

Thanks user,

I'm thinking I'm gonna need some rhinos or repressors to scoot my sisters about and use them for objective capture. Inquis sounds good so I can chuck him in one of the rhinos and run psych defence for the girls.

Should I get another flamer and superior and run a dom squad? I heard that meltas are preferred for doms but I've already got 3 flamers.

People answered your question last thread.

Gotta get dem Rogue Trader armies up. Check 'em.

They are the only CSM elites with no plastic models
I don't even play gay ass EC you fucking dolt

Meant chaos-god specific elites, not elites in general

GW will start shitting out whatever Imperial/Chaos factions they can because they can't into xenos. They tried and failed with CE and Nids, all we'll see now is aquilas and chaos stars. They'll probably start lore-raping to justify the Codex Complaint chapters getting their own codices by 2019.

windsor newton kolinsky 000

I didn't ask that question last thread. But I will go look for this answer.

>why not both?

>What SM chapter is the most fascist/nazi/racist?

Fascist would be red corsairs or some other chaos host that rules planets. Space marines don't run planets and fascism is a governmental strategy. Generally most imperial planets are run as fascist theocracies at the top level but marines don't deal with that.

None of them are Nazi, that doesn't even make sense.

None of them are racist because they fly around the Imperiums million planets saving everyone from every environment. Racism in a setting with that many environments and that time scale makes no sense you dumb edgelord.

If I took the game seriously and was really keen on winning I would waste a ton of money. Just entertaining a comfy small fucking army all the armies are too big. Unless I went magnus, mort and some bullshit, which feels lame as fuck.

what chapter is that? brotherhood of nod?

If you're UK based, halfords grey primer. Huge can, costs less than a GW spray can, works better.

You can go for their white primer too but it's slightly more temperamental than the grey. Still easier to work with than GW corax white tho.

Any Automotive primer works really well if you aren't looking for special colors. Army Painter Sprays are a good alternative if you want colors, but they can be slightly different.

For Brushes just make sure you get natural brushes and not synthetic so they can hold a point. If you want really nice brushes without paying the GW tax get Winsor and Newton Kolinsky Sable. GW Artisan brushes are just rebranded Winsor and Newton I believe. Brushes are a real preference thing though. Try different ones out.

Some of the Designers are Tau boys, including the guy who did Primaris marines

Depends on how much you enjoy collecting too.
Plus, they might be like GK terms, except good

check your local bitz sites for one of these AoS thingies:

games-workshop.com/en-GB/Flesh-Eaters-Courts-Zombie-Dragon
games-workshop.com/en-GB/Deathlords-Mortarchs-Arkhan
games-workshop.com/en-GB/Rotbringers-The-Glottkin
games-workshop.com/en-GB/Beastmen-Ghorgon
many of these kits have multiple options, so there is a good chance anyone playin one of these armies has some spares lying around, or sells them on ebay

almost cheatin... use this as base model
games-workshop.com/en-GB/Ironjawz-Orruk-Megaboss

What are you guys working on?

I'm in the middle of base coating 10 purestrain Genestealers, also I had a go at setting up a wet pallet. Seems decent.

Isnt that car primer? How does it do on the small deatils?

Invaders are what jumped to mind for most rascist. I gave other answers for nazi and fascist

Nice work, user
I like the color scheme.

>Space marines don't run planets
>meanwhile the 500 worlds of the Ultramarines

Nice user, similar to the fallout picture you posted before. I normally hate that model but it doesn't look half bad like that.

Does this mean Lost and the Damned is a viable possibility?

No. No shitposting.

I rate the painting though.

Whats the best option for running multiple Guardian squads? i was thinking 2 spears and 1 S+SS combo. Also you think Custodes will have any really expensive stratagems since they are going to have very few points of CP anyways.

>That edition

I'm redownloading Dark Crusade. I won't let you down, papa Thule!

>Brotherhood of Nod Chapter
I didn't know I wanted this until now. Lots of flamers obviously, but what else from C&C can you include? Tiberium crystals on the bases maybe?

are those necromunda bases?
im doing a GSC army and was thinking of using them, how are they?
was it difficult getting them off of their slots and on to it?

Damn how did I not realize hot rod flames would be great on power armor until now.

...

Hope you enjoy spess pirates.
Maaybe.

Jesus lad you move fast. Is that the one that you'd blocked on the red on the pauldrons earlier today? Maybe even last thread?

He's for my Legion of the Damned army but I'm doing a different scheme for these flamestorm Aggressors that is more like firebats from StarCraft. This guy is the test run and if it doesn't work out then I'm only losing out an a single easybuild kit.

Just got off my 12 hour shift. Rolling for what I should do with my time.

Evens: sleep
Odds: work on Tyranids
Dubs: work on Admech
Trips of any chaos God: drop money on a 500 point starter army of said god then sleep

Generally you want to go Immolators for troop Sisters and Repressors for Dominions in Mech Sisters. Rhinos are for other stuff like Repentia or Arco-flagellants.

Honestly I don't even use flamer girls at the moment, but since you've already got three you might as well. The main thing with what you've got so far is that you'll need to beef up your anti-tank.

Will it be better than R&H in terms of viability?

Necromunda bases are so far, quite good. Its a bit annoying for heavy weapons teams and my Patriarch, but honestly it covers 90% of my army so its all good.

As for Genestealers, getting them off the slots is quite easy, and you have a surprisingly high amount of stuff to work with to just glue it down. I pinned them though just to be safe.

Though, it as also the first time I ever pinned and it was super easy so would also recommend that.

>Space marines don't run planets
>meanwhile the 500 worlds of the Ultramarines

They don't. We have the Ultramarines who 'rule' by appointing governors but the marines themselves are pretty hands off most of the time since they're fucking busy elsewhere. It takes millions of people to run 500 planets and the chapter is gone from Ultramar for hundreds of years at a time with only a skeleton crew handling recruitment and training.

They barely 'ruled' when they were a legion if you read the HH books. They just appointed very loyal humans who lead in their absence and Guilliman probably sent a few thousand emails a day because he could handle it

Then don't? who's forcing you too

Also why has no one made a sad penguin for R&H considering how much they suffer.
