first for tiny ad mech knight

YEAR OF THE XENOS

Orks are dead last as expected

>mfw xenos releases again

Year of the npc races

Second for the Omnissiah's Ass

Little Timmy's gonna get to wait a few months for some more marines!

>Year of the Xenos

"With most Imperium and Chaos factions now in possession of a codex of their own, we’re very happy to announce that three prominent xenos armies will be having their moment in the sun very soon:"

I think you mean >moment in the sun of the Xenos

Is it worth taking a MC Bolter over a Stormbolter on a Lieutenant? It's 1 point more, half the shots, but has AP -1 and D2.

>all the xenos to choose from
>tau/necron/delf releases

what a waste of a year

>Smaller than their cousins and crewed by aspiring nobles, low-born commoners with a knack for war, or even the bastard children of Barons and High Kings, Armigers hunt and fight at the flanks of their larger kin.

Armigers look great, fucking love me some chicken walkers. It looks like it uses similar legs to the Dragoon, probably around the same size of them too.

Drukhari

Much excite.

Much spikes and drugs.

Where are my official Felinid guard models GW? WHERE?

nth for qt spider

t. butthurt orkfag

The later Orks are, the more confident I am they're getting a bunch of new models.

first for tau

I'm curious as to what troop slot they'll fill.

new trukk model

upgrade kit for lootas

>felinds
>being allowed off their home planet
Fucking furfags not knowing basic lore about the thing they fap to

>With most Imperium and Chaos factions now in possession of a codex of their own
Translation "Now that we've taken care of the important factions"

>moment in the sun very soon
Translation "Codex shat out and faction forgotten"

lel

Did they announce release dates or just the order?

Just the order. T'au are probably in the ass half of February or early March.

Just the order. Rumours were Delfs in Feb, Tau in March, Necrons later

is my list good or bad or mediocre

miniheadquarters.com/rosters/details/138-dungo-bungo-eldar

New Emperors Children and Slaanesh models WHEN?!

>53 points free
why

or maybe theres an entirely different game that GW makes that also gets rumour engine posts

might be some point in the future, might be never.

Never. Slaanesh is soft squatted with no new releases, ever.

Man, that cryptek is looking nice. Maybe I'll start expanding my Necron collection again.
Knight looks neat too, wonder how customizable it'll be and stuff.

Imperiumfags are insufferable.

We get it, space marines sell.

they're also boring as shit and babbies' first army.

> ghazghkull
> plastic warboss
> warbuggy/wartrakk
> 'ard boys
> tankbustas/ kommandos dual kit

quick 2 or 3 week release and then orks can go away, and stay go.

>AoS
>mattering
Back to your containment thread faggot

>mfw I collect DE, CSM, Daemons, and Nids.
>mfw my friend collects Space Wolves and Ynnari and is still waiting

>trukk
Nah warbuggy/wartrack/skorcha

OwO what do we have here

Xenocuck with shit taste detected. Prepare to be purged.

pretty much the same but my friend has wolves and necrons which basically means he only has wolves until they fix cron shit

I play Blood Angels, dick.

There's just other, more interesting armies out there. I would honestly hate only playing SM vs SM.

>Collect CSM, Daemons, IG, and even Custodes
>My friends play DE, Orks, and Space Wolvea

Too bad I play Orks. And only Orks.

So what's left? Orks, Space Wolves, Ynarri, Genestealer cults. What else? They said the codexs would be out this year and that seems really feasible. I'm new to 40k, what happens after all the armies have a codex? Do they start making new armies or just start over?

>plays marines himself but complains when he has to play marines
You are literally everything wrong with this hobby you stupid, entitled wanker. Play a different army or just stop moaning

they start squatting

Inquisition, Harlequins, Death Watch, Sisters of Battle, and Slaanesh Daemonkin

Harlequins
GSC
SW
Knights
Inquisition
Deathwatch
Orruks

Deathwatch

>I'm new to 40k, what happens after all the armies have a codex?

Supplements, campaigns or just straight up releasing models without having to release books which is something GW is aiming for.

All books should be done by July.

What are working on this weekend?

Im finishing these guys, then buying Trajan on Saturday.

>I play Blood Angels
Ah forgive me, you're just a cuck with shit taste.
SM vs SM is what this game is all about and if you don't like it go play a different game.

I'm just saying I'm glad that xenos get attention. Playing yet another soup list or Guilliman and Razorbacks is boring. There's no reason to shit on xenos.

GW did say they plan on adding new armies at some point during this edition.
Once they get done with all the dexes, they'll star releasing new models, adding stuff to lines like the primaries, probably some supplements and some new factions.

So I'm painting my first model and it looks so fucking terrible, to the point where I'm actually disheartened enough to give up with 40k and tabletop war games all-together.

I just wanted to enjoy a real hobby, not end up cutting myself again for painting a Space Marine badly.
I fucking hate myself, Veeky Forums.

NO! YOU CAN'T SQUAT A GOD

Fighting off the urge to start working on my Voidraven because I want to play some OSRunescape.

This isn't HH, and thank fucking god for that.

maybe watch more duncan vids or pick an easier scheme?

They are getting rebranded as Shadow Daemons/Aelves. See AoS.

When they've figured out what they're doing with Slaanesh in AoS.

I'm painting Crimson Fists, yet I still manage to fuck up

Sisters, Deathwatch, Knights. Ynnari Inquisition and Sisters of Silence maybe. Once they're done there will probably be a stretch of mostly AoS stuff. After that they'll usually pick an army with some older models and redo them, add some new models and release a new book. We may also see a new faction or subfaction.

>>mfw my friend collects Ynnari

Well, given that they have three models and they used to come in the same box, at least he's got a complete collection.

>cutting myself again
BE A MAN AND TAKE THE KNOT.

for the other, non-pussy solution, paint more.

Is there any info or rumors at all out there for the mini knights? I've got some hype right now for these guys

...

>yet I still manage to fuck up
did you paint them red with blue fists?

>Not watching Duncan and just getting good
>Not realizing everything takes time to get good at and almost everyone's first model is shit or relatively shit
Lmao @ ur life.

I've started painting some Daemonettes recently. The ones I painted up 6 years ago look like aborted foetuses in comparison. My painting is still not excellent but it is above "Table Top Quality". It just takes time jabroni.

>yfw year of the xenos

So if this is true it's not what happens to the EC? Do they worship a different God or daemon or Fulgrim himself??

I'm rather impressed with the Daughters of Khaine. Waiting to see Cthulu elves before deciding on an army.

*>moment in the sun of the xenos

Practice. Watch some tutorial videos, and take your time. Almost everyone sucks at first. Including Duncan.

what was the snake body?

also where are the rumor engines anyway?

thin ur paints, drink ur paints, follow a scheme, enjoy urself

If they bring long-range anti-tank capabilities, that will help some with AdMech sucking on the tabletop vs armor spam lists.

TFW no transports still.

It's not true

>What else?

Sisters of Battle/Silence.
Kroot, since apparently they're deemphasized in Codex Tau.
Emperor's Children/World Eaters, along with updated cult models.

They double down on mutants and extra augmentation. Imagine the whole legion with different modifications along the lines of Noise marines.

Different new guy, whats the easiest model to paint? From an untrained eye I would think an ironclad dreadnought since its blocky.

Post em in /wip/ m8. You'll usually get some useful CC in a friendly manner.

>what was the snake body?
Morathi in giant snake form

no one cares about your AoS fan theories, AoS is shit anyway

Snake body is the Morathi model for AoS.

Big monster for the Daughters that wasn't fully revealed. It was in the YouTube video though.

Necron warrior

Morathi, she was "reborn in the image of her tormentor" according to the video so now she's like half-snake demon half-elf pure bitch.

I agree that AoS is shit, but Slaanesh is soft squatted for sure. The new Daemon codex is the confirmation. They didn't even bother naming their Herald.

But we already have neutron lasers and lascannon ironstriders

I can see that being easy, what about the easiest model for the other major armies

you

All metal schemes. Leadbelcher plus Nuln Oil looks pretty good all on its own. A space marine chapter like Silver Skulls is really easy to paint. Custodes would also be really easy. Just use gloss shade and skip the highlights.

Necron, Grey knight, Custode, basicly anything with gold/silver as main color.

It's about fucking time.

>inb4 only available in rumour box set

What armies do you like? It's usually the basic troops desu.

>NO VECT
>NO NEW NON SHIT ARCHON
>NO NEW OPTIONS FOR ARCHON LIKE BIKE OR DISK
>NO PLASTIC COURT
>NO PLASTIC INCUBI
>NO TRUE BORN WITH A SHIT LOAD OF OPTIONS
>NO PLASTIC MANDRAKES, BEASTS, GROTESQUES
>NO CHARACTERS COMING BACK
>PROBABLY NEXT RO NO IMPROVEMENT TO OUR RULES

Knightlets, when will they ever learn?

Yeah Necrons are a good example. Easy stuff is going to be mostly one color and of an easy to paint color like metal, grey, drab green, or blue. Even super complex stuff like AdMech can be easy if you just paint the whole thing one metal color.
