lads this is golden

I2 for Orks!

With the 'Year of the Xenos' finally shaping up past power armor wank, when will the right an' propa green boyz get a codex and finally have the strains of horribly overpriced index units, lack of stratagems, relics, a psychic discipline, and lack of klan tactics lifted?

Kroot are dumb.

Probably June.
Nice digits though.

xth for best primarch

Post your saber platform

Custards Codex Issues

for Custodian Wardens (elite troops)
Bringers of the Emperors Justice (1CP) should have been a baseline ability (hit rolls of 6+ generate an additional hit)
Ever Vigilant (2CP) should have been a baseline ability (if a unit sets up with 12" shoot it at -1 to hit)

for Allarus Custodians (terminators)
Concussion Grenades (1CP) should have been a baseline ability (alternate weapon profile for the grenade launcher units hit cant overwatch and are -1 to hit)
Inescapable Vengance (2CP) should have been a baseline ability (unit can target shooting at characters even if not closest)

For Custodian Guard (troops)
Indomitable Guardians (1CP) should have been a baseline ability (interrupt in the combat phase and attack first if within 3" of an objective)

The Strategem Victor of the Blood Games (reroll a to hit, to wound and a save each player turn) should have been a warlord trait (also the reroll to hit is pointless on all the captains anyways)

There is a Relic of Terra that is missing
Special Axe (S+4, AP-3, D3)

And that folks is why there is so many Stratagems and not enough CP. At some point in the development they took all the abilities off the units and put them in Stratagems.

>highheeled cowboy boots

maybe best primarch but worst fashion sense

Thinking about making a SoS HQ model and using it as a counts as Greyfax (she can deny 2) for my budding SoS cadre/army. Good idea? Bad idea?

The sisters of silence got a primarch??

>Kit has multiple legs and torsos
>Make sure no one has the same leg and torso combination
>Continue this trend to arms and heads as well

The only thing listed that I don't do it painting the inside of vehicles.

Is that a fucking bow?

i've been list building, I actually don't even know where to get one since both GW and FW don't do them anymore

Will you post this every thread now?

Chaos and/or the Omnissiah has granted you the gift of functional immortality, what do you do with it /40kg/?

Shit post eternally about because it's until happens because it's than

That image has to be intentional. I doubt anyone can be this retarded

>Waaah Waaah I want all my fucking stratagems for free and now I'll post this in every thread

I wonder if you even play custards or if you just like bitching about them

Truly these people are worse than hitler

Fuck you, I constantly switch it up and keep tabs on my shit

>The more you look

The Kroot are bred for backrubs

None. We've got enough 40k stuff, like our armies, and only play friendly games at each other's houses so we're not bothered by waacfaggotry either.

After the Last Jedi, we feel the lore for Star Wars is worse than 40k too. We're fans of Star Wars though and are at least intrigued by the game.

They need a few things but your ideas are garbage.

What does this base count as in-game?

Just realised that the order I've placed for like £300 of minis and kit isn't going to arrive for 2 weeks because I missed the order cut off. Make me feel better Veeky Forums

Like one. I am very interested, but I want more factions, first. As shitty as the prequels were, they were made to sell toys and this have the best options for armies.

What did you order?

>doesn't have heels on his riding boots

What a fag.

It gives you more time to paint your backlog before getting your new shit.

A Last Stand/rescue objective. Maybe even a relic, if I feel like playing an escort scenario. Got a few more that I need bits for, trying to make 10

Hoping to spark conversation about what are obvious (to me) flaws in the units in the new Custodes codex.

Bunch of Skitarii, some Russes a Kinght, pin vice and modelling gear and paints because all my old stuff is wrecked and 30 odd miles away

I just bought 2000 points of them and have deep dived the book and those are my take aways.

probably the wrong forum for discussion. This place is more about shitposting and reaction gifs than real conversation (mostly).

View from the back. These were really fun to make, one of my next ones is probably gonna be a corpse with sensitive materials, or a bigger resupply point.

They're strong enough for the point values and anything more on their points would make them almost unplayable at 2000 points.

I only agree that Wardens should have more to distinguish themselves.
Shields should also be a better option because a 3++ over 4++ is not worth it when you lose all the spears abilities and you pay more. I guess you can shoot the blade in melee but it's just a double shot bolt pistol.

what goes into a solid strong death guard list? Not a super competitive one, but still strong. I've seen people here saying plague marines are trash is that true? I am building off of dark imperium and need some insight on what to grab next.

New player here, what are the uses for gargoyles in the tyranid codex? They can deepstrike within shooting distance and reroll 1 to wound if they are +20, you can use Scorching bugs to have that sweet +1 to wound but they still have BS 4+ and the weapon is Assault 1 AP 0 D1, without being able to equip devourers nor toxin sacs, still at 6 points a piece, am I missing something? They seem way too fragile for hit and run tactits (even with 12" movement) as they will get blown out of the sky as soon as they get shot. Are they just objective holders?

Cut your nails.

First mini, a cadre Fireblade. How am I doing so far, lads?

Screening Flyrants.
Harassing weak blobs.
Grabbing objectives last minute.

That's about it

sadly not, I'm getting back into the hobby after like a 10 year absence

They're fast objective holders. Keep them in reserve and drop them onto an objective that they can score. Don't ever rely on them to kill shit. At best they can use their speed to charge heavy weapons to occupy them for a turn.

I'm going to take an armiger model and have it drag around a full sized reaper chainsword like pyramid head

...

Thin your paints.
Your primer looks a bit thick in places.
Use washes.
Do highlights.

How to ruin an otherwise good paint job.

you're right. I should probably get some mono-custodes games in and report back about how it is going.

I like the concept, the execution, not so much

get you some more simple/basic models to learn with, like stealth suits or fire warrirors then follow

the eyes! THE EYES!!!

If you're impatient, buy a small box of troops from an FLGS and/or any modeling and painting tools you need and then get started?

Get some plague drones and a blight hauler or 3, any support characters or psykers that you like, and then anything around that will be fun and pretty effective
Terminators are good for the teleport, but I would make them shooty rather than choppy

What's a good objective marker for Dark Eldar?

Should the interior sides of a raider/ravager hull be a different colour?

Should I mix and match my wych and Kabalite legs and torsos to create my squads?

What do I convert if my index has no characters?

>pro painted
>apply gold then highlight
>200 pounds
also just dont paint the eyes jesus christ

maybe an Egyptian painted them

Thanks, I am trying to figure out how I could use the 10 from the old SC box that I got. Don't seem to be worth much for small games and such and also thinking if it was worth expanding to a full 30 bug squad (they are fucking hard to paint with the wings all over the way)

>wallaceandgromiteyes.png

...

>people still think "pro" = "good"

>Hands to shaky to do eyes
>Just leave it fleshtone and then hit it with a wash
>From the tabletop it looks fine

I can never be assed to do the eyes and it looks so difficult for it to actually pay off.

You really should have removed the mould lines first mate

dead enemies tortured/impaled, piles of heads, slaves.

if you want. usually the floor is painted a different colour.

if you want.

hq because the current archon model is meh

Blow it out your ear, this is the least hostile 40k discussion board on the internet, in large part because you can say what you like instead of being a passive agressive little shit to skate under the attention of incompetent mods.

Post a picture of your favorite conversion with a completely inappropriate theme song

>Army literally just came out
>I know the ins and outs of everything tactical about them and everything they need fixed

Nigger give it a couple of months of play to see all their strengths and weaknesses. Vacuum math and theory lists can only do so much opposed to actually playing the bastards. A lot of times something looks better on paper or vice versa.

>scared to paint faces and hair so put helmets on everything
>not had an unhelmeted model in 6 years
>actually prefer dark eldar heads and wish I could paint them

I feel like I need to do penance, sitting and painting 50 Dark Eldar and Elf heads in a variety of colours and hair colours til I get good

Bloat drones, aura characters and some warm bodies.

yeah might do, I've still got to go out and get some undercoat and bits anyway. Might see if the lgs has the mini I want to use as a primaris psyker as it seems to be out of stock virtually everywhere online

Slaves
Up to you, looks good either way.
Probably not, wouldn't make sense.
Archons, Succubi, Haemonculi. Also worth converting the Grotesques as it's one expensive mono-pose finecast model.

Wow, buddy! Kiss THESE blueberries! Just playing. Second mini in progress.

How many minutes are you supposed to hold the trigger on the primer, then?

>Be me
>Painting up some models for a friend
>Critical of my skills but he seems to like how they come out
>Decide I'll try to do the eyes
>Only 3 colors since my hands tremble too much

>Friend sees the model
>He erupts in laughter
>Passes the model around the table, everyone laughing at the eyes
>It doesn't stop at that session either
>Even now months later they still joke and laugh about it
I will never ever attempt to paint eyes ever again fucking hell. How precise does it need to fucking be? Am I expected to put more detail than the entire rest of the model just on he fucking eyes?

yes, my apologies. I will play some games with them and see how it goes.

Hair is easy, just do it one colour, wash, and highlight. It's the same as everything else but relies incredibly on the highlights.
Faces are difficult but the above method works for tabletop quality.

Getting one terminator from the battle for verdos set. What kind of character should I convert him too? Captain? Chaplain? Librarian?

Man, that joke is a lot funnier when I actually attach the picture!

Thanks for the legit answers but I was joking re: the dude at the top of the thread.

My archons are all converted, I've got 10 converted grotesques from rat ogres (and 10 from blighted ogrun), I don't paint the internal hull but do paint all the rest. And I don't combine my wych and kabalites because that'd be silly

This song makes me so nostalgic for a time I never knew.

>Minutes
You're supposed to sweep over it from a foot away. Total direct exposure time would be a few seconds per facing

...

To be fair, a decently experienced player should be able to ballpark passably well, and some units make it really obvious something isn't right. In this case Allarus which aren't nearly worth 30 points over vanilla custard.

Give them a 4++ and make their grenade launcher S6 and they'd be pretty much spot on worth their current price.

My only complaint about the new dex are :
- The lack of flat Damage value for Custodes weapons
- No option for shields and swords on Wardens
- Expensive Land Raider
The army also lacks some solid anti-tank weapons but I will wait for 30k units to be playable before bitching about that.

How the fuck do you even pull off that kind of detail?

It looks like a sticker of some sort.

Custom printed transfer.

I'd like to imagine it's a transfer as I'd hate to see someone put actual effort into that.

It's a transfer

Then how the hell do you apply the transfer over that many contours? :/
