Warhammer 40k general /40kg/

question to those who know of the new CD codex ... are a pair of brimstone horrors count as two for squad size, or the pair still counts as 1 for the 10-30 squad size????

THIN YOUR FINGERNAIL PAINTS

I've wanted Custodes since before they had models and Black Templars were new, I'm just enjoying myself at this point.

Reminder that curry is the heart and soul of any good /40kg/ goer

To be fair three months ago everyone wanted Death Guard. This is the norm. New fancy thing comes out and every fills their pants. A few months later the novelty wears off and they go back to their main army.

Iz Gud!

It looks like light catching on red from table distance. For added detail I like to do Squig orange and then fire dragon even lighter.

How likely are we to get rules for an HQ on one of those bikes?
> I want a golden biker gang in space

Should I paint my Marines red or silver?

The bright orange cranks up the contrast and makes the highlights pop more when you aren't super zoomed in on it. hold the mini at arm's length and it just looks like a really bright red.

I've always wanted to play Custodes so it's nice for me. And if I want to get back into 40K, it'll be nice to have a super small army that will only shatter my financial spine once.

Looks more fiery than clothy.

Does the rest of this comic exist? or is it just one frame?

Mid-low probability, apparently they come in packs of 3 so you might be able to make one look like it as well if they offer the option

> Lone Fire Warrior with some Paint Pots and enough caffeine to kill a Primarch conquers America

It's just a modification of this

That's excellent for your first attempt. When you get to edge highlights, I recommend you actually use the side of your brush rather than the tip to make sure you're only getting a thin line on the corners.

>Suddenly

Tons of people have wanted Custodes as an army, they've been stupid popular since 3rd ed and they've gotten a full army because their 30k army is popular as fuck.

Painting my Purestrains like classic Genestealers. Finished the base coats and will shade things soon.

Added a bit more black than the usual scheme. Good idea?

Paint them red AND silver, that'll look good.

gowron literally has a clitoral hood on his forehead

Looks great for a first model, but it's kinda hard to judge before highlights are done. Biggest improvement you could make is to take proper photos, there's a guide on the community website. Also, clean up your mistakes and probably thin your paints a bit thinner.

Still better than Duras.

Really liking how this model is coming together so far

I intend too but what for a primary color?
Word Bearerish or Astral Claws with red instead of blue sort of thing.

Anyone have that Nurgling compilation picture, showing all the different nurgling models available?

I have some conversion ideas and I need to find the right pussgoblin for the job.

Made up for it by being solid fucking gold in every scene he was in

is this supposed to be a parody like ALL OF THE DAY BRO cause i'm genuinely laughing

I always got the feeling Orks would treat wheels the same way they would treat Dakka

> IF IZ GOT MOAR WHEELYS, IT GOEZ FASTER

>badyear

very nice

Could anyone provide a clean photo comparison of a Plagueburst Crawler next to any Rhino chassis vehicle? Trying to determine how much larger the Crawler is for a conversion.

How many constructs is too much?

its it's own thing but it also exists in the world of another comic made by the same person called homestuck

Can the avatar use daemon codex strategems?

Like legit if things like mortarion can he can.

Not a chaos daemon, is it now

Because light makes things oranger than red like how shadow actually is bluer.
That and pink looks fleshy as a highlight.

Which Avatar are you talking about?
Khaine?
Ynnead?
Aang?
Korra?

You better not be talking about Korra

>Uh-oh
>Don't tell me: we're about to be attacked by gigantic mechaspiders
>Yep.
>Skeletons wielding lazer guns behind them?
>Most likely.

>Bring it on.

when did you start playing tg?

>a few months before 4th ed ended

>All these people wanting Custodes, and rumors point to them being a really good and fun elite army
>meanwhile as a GK player

Yeah but he's more of a daemon than fucking Morty.

Does it also specify chaos daemon?

No because it's different and he's not able to be joined in a daemons army in terms of faction.

>korra
trash avatar desu

Not the blue one.the one that looks like he was fingering a sister infected by the red tide.

But why

What are his faction keywords user? Can he join Chaos Daemons in some way?

>blue one
the James Cameron one?

Because it doesn't share a faction keyword with them

Waaaaay back around when 3E launched. I was playing back when Necrons and Tau burst onto the scene and nids still had the Rogue Trader carnifex as their model choice. I played from 3-4E, mostly playing my shitty little guard army but haven't played much since. Always consider coming back, but the rules aren't that great compared to the other games I play and it's just so fucking expensive. My guard are mostly dispersed and I might have a few shitty vehicles (and a baneblade) laying around but other than that and a handful of new minis I got to paint I don't have much of a collection any more.

Early/Mid 2014. Three armies later here we are.

I've been in the hobby long enough to own the 3rd ed rulebook, but I didn't actually play a game until last year
And that was just Kill Team, haven't played a full scale game of 40k to this day

>Once per game, after a model in a Devastator Squad that is accompanied by an Armorium Cherub has fired, the Armorium Cherub can reload that model’s weapons. When it does so, remove the Armorium Cherub and that model can immediately shoot again.

Does this mean I have to use the Cherub right after the unit has fired or can I use this later in the turn even after other units have fired? It says you have to use it after immediately after the unit has fired, but it does say that when you do it, the model has to fire immediately.

Thats almost exactly my T(')au paint scheme.
You executed it better, well done.

Just finished a game against Blood Angels. Got tabled Turn 4. Ill do a batrep later after I get home. For now enjoy a picture of the dead near the end of the game.

Did anybody else play games lately? Any hobby progress?

I'd interpret that to be using up the Cherub as soon as the unit fires and then immediately shooting whatever gun you chose one more time.

Ork soup based on gorkamorka when?
>digganobs
>goblin army
>kustom vehicles
>titanic ork vehicles that count as terrain for movement on top of them

>It says you have to use it after the unit has fired
Typo. Sorry.

yeah the one that everyone forgot about but pretended was really good.

Where do I start to look at starting an army?

Seems intimidating in terms of putting together an army list that isn't ass.

> Not using Armageddon rules and converting your own Digganobz

wow I thought you were just spit balling an idea that you thought of when looking at grots.

...

Its very obvious that you use it right after the unit has fired so you cant sit on it for the rest of the shooting phase

start collecting is typically decent.

what you normally want is some generic troops a transport and an hq. Then you build from there.

and when you say starting do you already have an army in mind?

>Books start coming out about Custodes stopping hide and seek in the palace
>Books about Custodes need to go do stuff
>GKs Codex coming out early, being farted out early more like it.

Writing was on the wall sadly, GK.
People calling a Custodes Codex were the ones reading what BL was hinting.

I played as Blood Angels and almost got tabled by turn three. Had to split army into three blobs and the wrong blob got to start. Everything else walked on including three sets of Devs and two tanks. Shit sucked.

is that a guy with a whistle around his neck, or a guy with a really big head jacking off a detachable penis?

What does the red hat man even portray

Depends on the army. If you're JUST getting into the hobby, it's hard to wrong with a Start Collecting box or 2. While the units inside of them might not be 100% auto-takes, they're by far the cheapest bundles available to you and so a cost-effective way to get into the hobby. Death Guard/Primaris being exceptions because they have the starter box.

But mostly don't be like "I NEED A LIST TO BUY MY WAY TO." Have some guidance but mostly start building up a collection. You'll want an HQ, two troops, and an elite and heavy support. From there it's mostly up to you and the force you're playing.

Barely played. But I started collecting and getting into the hobby last year. A bit before 8th edition was announced.
So I'm rather new. Zero marines though.

...

Start Collecting boxes are a good place to start
Start small, don't buy a 2000 point army until your familiar with the ins and outs of the game, experience and time, as well as some reading will get you there
Start at 500, don't worry too much about making it the most minmaxed list, you're not playing in tourneys, others at your FLGS, provided they aren't utter dicks, should go easy on you untill you've picked up the skills you need

Not Space Marines.

Either Eldar, Chaos, or Orks.

i saw it only once and i was on shrooms

it was kinda wild
all ik is that i want to subjugate natives americans again

only played a week ago but I've got progress on a dude I've been spending way too much time painting.

I spend more time thinking about what colors I'll paint them than painting them I swear. and it takes me like 2 minutes to paint vs the 30 I spend thinking.

right?

its weird how much the humans were in the right, and some hippy scientists were in the wrong.

Did you pick what you want to collect yet?
If so, what is it?

Eldar, SC box(es) is pretty good.
Starting Orks is a little more laborious.
Chaos highly depends on what flavour.

>pinky ring
user, please stop

>good
>elite
pick one and only one in 8th edition. I don't care if every marine has a 2+, 4++ and 5+++FnP, 20 models still means you are gonna get fucked hard by any hordes in any game.

I actually had an idea floating around in my head for a skirmish army
Was thinking of using Ork rules and converting the Goliath gang with Orky shit for the units I need

Not using the "fools, behold" screengrab.

One job.

Digganobz!

well its the year of the xeno, eldar already got their codex so you'll get some good advice as to what to get... BUT you should actually get what you like to look at most.

Chaos is like the step child to space marines and gets a shit ton of love from GW, they've got like two factions and mini factions and a bunch of allies all getting a bunch of updates. (don't know if buying the unupdated stuff is a great idea atm).

Orks are orks. kind of a shit starting army and they're never updated, they're also withou a codex so you'll do poorly and there will be some big changes to the army. But orks are very simple and actually a lot of fun to play.

I'd recommend eldar or chaos. and orks as maybe a secondary.

just remember that this is the most important parts of the armies: Painting them> their aesthetics> the lore > playing them

Looks are the most important.

red base on black rim looks surprisingly good

> Those power squats
just how big are these guys anyway?

You can use it whenever you want. Immediately is only referring to the Cherub’s removal.

squats are pretty short

those guys look like 28mm

I'm pretty sure everyone wanted the shiniest motherfuckers to ever be ever since they got their first artwork
few can resist the call of the G O L D E N B O Y S

question to those who know of the new CD codex ... are a pair of brimstone horrors count as two for squad size, or the pair still counts as 1 for the 10-30 squad size?
