Warhammer 40k General /40kg/

How the fuck are you supposed to play custards when I can just keep tarpitting them with cheap shit every turn while I cap objectives.

I imagine they work better at high point games, and not to mention they are durable AF

...

>be playing 2,000 pt game for a league
>DKoK vs Salamanders and Custodes
>Salamanders player has a really low model count
>decided to bring 3 artillery carriages and 2 basilisks
>whole lotta infantry as well
>he concedes by turn 4
Honestly I felt pretty bad for that, he only killed 721 points of my army

>Commanders are the new crisis suits.
Sarcastic thanks GW!
Maybe some fusion blasters on those stealth suit sgts?

Oh btw, my shop is doing an escalation League so thats with the weird point cost

xth for the cyootest psyker in the imperium

What would be a good base to do OP's image as a conversion.
Female minis with musculature are rather rare. Melon boobed beanpoles are by far the most common.

I... don’t get it. Is the joke that the song mentions Africa and he’s a lion?

The song is a meme

if your REALLY god-tier, clearly a 3D printer dressed as a man good at kit bashing, you could take a Sanguinary Guard torso, cut it off at the abs and then use a SoB cut off at the boobs.

It's like praying to a CIA badge rather then the Crucifix.

Looking to do something similar to the marble effect shown on these bases

can anyone help me identify the approximate colors for the marble effect ?Im having a hard time seeing them

Black
Grey
White

That'll be $50

Putting together a wolf guard force. They're going to be a sizable team, but aside from maybe an occasional narrative battle, they're going to be tasked out to the various other squads as pack leaders. So, a couple in termi armour, one on a bike, one with a jet pack, etc. Any ideas on how to individualize them? Make each one a bit more unique? I want to avoid the whole 'stick a skull or totem/fetish and call it good' route, and I've never tried greenstuff, so any overt attempts would probably turn out garbage

Helpful

Can't gives approx colours but it's basically white, off-white ivory, beige (or ivory brown mix) and brown.
You'll have to experiment a bit to mke it work.

Thanks I think i see a little turqouise tint as well but my eyes are pretty garbage in general

One of Hasslefree's Libby models, if you're willing to hack apart metal and/or they have it in Resin?

Sorry, that's for the white marble aquilla.
Black Marble would be black, grey, Ivory and white. Maybe a bit of blue mixed with the black and grey to get that cool colour.

Thank you we here at the newly formed Electronic Games Workshop Arts strive for our customers to find what they need at a reasonable price

How are Genestealer Cult doing this edition? Was looking to get back into them.

To get the effect, start with the base colour, white or black, then faintly, one coat, paint all the marbling effect in with the next colour, Ivory or grey.
Once you have that you'll then need to only apply a second or more coat where you want the colours to be built up, finally finishing with the opposite colour then the base, black or white.

Don't even joke.
GW at their worst under Kirby were never even in the same ballpark as EA.

>How are Genestealer Cult doing this edition?

Could be better, but at least we're not Necrons...

If GSC get the same treatment that Tyranids did, oh boy, it's going to be fun.

They have two full codexes to support them

That's because ea has legitimately done nothing wrong

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check them out.
Can't CAD sculpt to save my life and Sangy guards + SoB would just look terrible and not in the way I want it to look terrible.

Two Golden Turd awards in a row and the complete flop that has been their every A+ title in the past several years speaks otherwise.

xth for smolest and cutest techpriest

Than SoB body + custodes head

That's what happens when you are the most playtested edition.

>File Name

Better boring and bland than absurdly broken. You can build off of boring and bland.

True, but I don't see them doing that. I just see virtual copy/pastes of the indexes and other codexes.

get out

is there a megalink for horus heresy audiobooks?

How well will Custodes work in non-objective games? (i.e. trying to table each other)

Yet they can't figure out flying rules

>feels bad when the descriptions of the forge world in the admech codex are basically copied over with 3 words changed.
>practically no new lore
even the formatting is the same, they just chose different pictures this time round
fucking minimal effort.

The GSC player at my LGS just constantly bitches about not getting the Guard regimental tactics.

It's like, why the fuck would anyone play Guard if GSC gets everything they can?

I need pictures!
Pictures of good Guardsmen conversions!

This 'meme' is just retarded in general. Hopefully it will die within the week.

what do you want, literal names?

they're neutral to slightly cool greytones, if you cant figure this out on your own you might be stupid

try google.

...

I'm really tempted by the Custards but I love my Dark Eldar and I keep holding out hope that their codex will bring good things and make us the speediest and killiest army again.

what is the autist trying to convey here with his mspaint picture?

>Admech wearing glasses
>Not replacing inferior human eyes with advanced multi-wavelength photoreceptors

Shameful.

They will be a

That if Blue with flying charges the red on top it is a larger distance than if he charged the one on the ground

fw balance teams

like the tau are communist meme? It's retarded, has no connection to the lore or model in any way, and therefore it will stick.

The rules say you charge the nearest enemy, so unless that's a different squad up there, you charge the guy on the ground.

Also neither of them have unit coherency so there's that.

Can combine flyrants and baneblades in the same list with them. So there's that.

They are not part of the same unit its just an example, but you understand what I mean about flying being retarded, he literally has to go past the first guy to reach the floor enemy, yet it is a shorter charge distance.

not sure what you're feeling bad about. what are you meant to bring against heavy infantry like Marines? 50 ratlings? 4 special weapon squads with flamers? lol

>preorders for Thousand Sons codex soon
Pretty excited, how much do you think the Collector's Edition will be? Like the Custodes dex, or the other collector's codices?

>30 year old turbo neckbeard frequents my flgs
>likes to run a green tide ork list
>steal 1 ork boy every time he comes into the store
>after 10 or so he's finally begun to notice and is accusing people at random of stealing
>everyone thinks he's absolutely insane and no one believes him
>my face when he thinks there's some grand store-wide conspiracy to fuck with him, but in reality it's just me.

One day you need to find a way to sneak them all back in just to see him freak.

>stealing models
This is bait right?
Captcha: 700S BLUFF

>t. someone who doesn't understand 3d vertical space

You know the reason this site isn't supposed to be used by people under 18 isn't just because of the porn and language. It's also because sometimes basic geometry is relevant to what's being discussed and 3rd graders like you don't understand it and become totally lost in the conversation.

Like the Custard Dex - That shit sold out pretty quick in the Uk and Aus

I've been thinking about sneaking them into someone elses case and seeing the two of them freak out at each other.

He's got like 300 of them, and it took him weeks to notice 10.

/r/ing the comic where guardsmen and a commissioner are about to charge, but then a guardsmen brings up a complicated theological dilemma of how the emperors will is divine

WouldfeedTheEmperor/10

>fucking with another mans plastic toys
You are an asshole.

>8th edition codexes have the same covers as they did in 7th.

And that's literally why I pirate all my codexes now.

>prioritisation of greater good over self
>no connection to the lore
the communist tau meme is dumb i'll admit, but it's not like there's no basis for it.

>space marines priorities the greater good of the imperium over themselves

>therefore space marines are communist.

That's why it's retarded. Because if tau are communist, so are all the imperial factions, chaos factions, and the tyranids.

Oh geez. I mean I'd be willing to pay that much but I kinda hope it's not too much of a fancy collector's edition at the same time so I can do something like save some money for other models.

And I get hated on for it when I tell people about it, while the sperglord get's gaslighted and seen for what he really is by our group: insane.

Seems like there's orderliness in the universe to me.

Did any other Limited Edition stuff sell as fast as it?

>horde player problems

They are solid in 8th with chapter approved. Gave them back some options they had from 7th. I can see them with guard or Nids being strong

The shitty drawing I made with my mouse pad is not proportional it just demonstrates relative position.

>chaos factions
>prioritizing the greater good of anyone

...

Going to paint some Primaris SM from the small Dark Imperium box set as Crimson Fists.
Aside from the base paints and Nuln Oil, what edge highlight colours do I need for the blue and red?

Run them as tactical marines so you don't waste the points

Why do people waste money on collectors editions?

The markup is insane compared to what you actually get.

How many vanguard is too many?

>4 days to go till Las Vegas GW preview seminar
I'm excited, I wonder if they'll reveal a primarch yet

What the fuck is Greater Good anyway ? I bet even the Tau themselves don't even know what that is.

I'd like to know how many they actually sell

this desu

how fucking cheap do you have to be

not to mention how this is gonna confuse the shit out of people trying to get into the hobby

Russ or the lion

When was the last time chaos helped humanity in any way?

chaos always furthers the cause of chaos by doing shit that weakens the imperium, or thins the veil between the warp and reality.

Always.

Space marines sacrifice their humanity. That is frames as a noble sacrifice to safe mankind from itself. This is an individual choice.

Tau live in a caste based system that doesn't allow them any individuality or even choice about what to do with their life in general or specifically (pheromone mind control via etherals, yadda yadda).

There are also some parallels to communist china, although a lot of visual cues come from japan.
The whole comparison is not coming out of nowhere like you seem to believe.

The same way everything else in 40k is a very unsubtle reference to another historical event/army/nation etc.

The Limited Edition they mention how many they started off with.
Then you can judge from how long it is available to judge how many they sell

Never enough
