Warhammer 40k General /40kg/

>Massive two handed beast of a sword
>People keep calling it small for some reason

??????

>as an actual foot fetishist

Which 40k army do I start collecting next?

Orks, Eldar or Khorne Daemon army?

Are you blind? It's tiny. Obviously it's big for non primarchs but compared to Dorn is looks like a fucking gladius.

Nth for soi bois, when will they stop redditspaceing?

I'm watching videos of this guy airbrushing minis and he's putting a base color, then he puts like a matte coat (like a varnish I guess?) before applying a wash. Something about the coat helping to break surface tension. Can someone explain this to me? Why is the matte coat important?

I'm new to all this stuff so I'm trying to understand what's going on.

Are vehicles overcosted this edition with the way things have changed? My ork vehicles seem to fold every single game from trukks to battlewagons. The only vehicles that don't eat shit are Kanz which usually are in cover and have smaller guns pointed at them since the big guns are pointed at my wagon, trukks, and gorkanaut.

>Pic related is Da Monsta, which I made after my opponent accused me of Modeling for Advantage from using a classic Ork Trukk (I love classic models)

>Nth for soi bois, when will they stop redditspaceing?
can you fit more memes into your sentence pls?

Orks

...

It's as big as a fucking marine.

- Which one has more appealing models?
- Which one has more appealing rules?
- Which one has more appealing lore?
- Which one is less played in your group?

Answer these (in order of importance) and you'll know it

>Blade alone is the length of his leg

????????????????

>betamale

Who has the best honkadongderoos?

Yeah and it looks like a fucking toy sword.

Guilliman literally has a gladius

were you expecting some giant anime sword?

I'm sorry Dorn isn't Cloud Strife user.

Yeah, the scale does seem off... even if in reality it's the size of a spacemarine.

Maybe it will look better when we get more pictures?

Why is Dorn cosplaying a shield captain?

Jealous of superior custard gene forging?

Im at maximum meme density I am afraid. Ill try harder next time
>Nazi soiboi ethnonationalist libtard

>not being an alpha wymen

>wanting a Primarch sized Eviscerator
>lol u fuckin weeb wanting Cloud

>blade only as long as his leg

Did he seriously bring a chainknife to a sword fight?

that is primarch size, its the size of a primaris marine

Xenos are NPCs, nothing more.

Why is everyone making these custard armies?

That -is- a Primarch sized eviscerator user.

I'm not even calling you a weeb, I'm just baffled by your very specific buster sword fetish.

Isn't dorn like twice that guys high tho?

The sword is prob the same size more or less.

>dat weak knees inward pose
>dat scared face
> dat toyblade
Is dorn the primarch of beta soy manlets?

You know what they say about a man with a big sword.

better to be NPC than Soyarmour

Gee it's almost as if heroic scale miniatures have cartoonishly exaggerated weapons.

It's new and shiny. Same thing that happens with every new codex.

Also the custard has always sold well even in 7th. IT's why gw is making all this stuff. Following the money.

Because half the player base loves bland power-armoured models.

>cheap
>cool
>solid rules
>good models
>already spent 700 dollars on an HH army of them

/HHG/ is that way.

kiddie imperiumfags and bandwaggoners

Whats next for 40k?

An eviscerator is supposed to be as big as the user. Not leg length.

According to this thread, some sort of soy based army

Everyone is an npc except

Yes, so why isn't his sword twice as big?

Just like Dorn's pocket knife. He must have deep pockets.

Custards and obnoxious imperiumfags go ahead and migrate here

Inquisition is getting it's own codex after all the xeno stuff is my bet.

We're still moving armies out of the index phase. We'll be here for a while.

Soyboi invasion of the hobby.
Only women use power armour. So soybois are attracted to “males in power armour”

How is any army NPC when people obviously play them?

Why is everything goddamn soup?

>Dark Eldar Codex
>Wyches, Kabals and Covens

>T'au Codex
>Different Septs

>Necron Codex
>Different Dynasties

Fuck this fucking soup game. We truly are Age of Soup.

Calm down Bobby G.

The fuck you on? SoB evisrators are as big as they are. His is not much bigger than that. Its just a primarch sized chainsword

Eldars are favorited by GW. Every single edition they are competitive top tier.

Orks the funniest NPC, but be ready to either kitbash/scratch build units, or to buy a lot of 3rd party stuff (and hence not playable in GW stores).

Khorne demon army allows you to play aos with the same models.

>people who like things I don't like need to leave

>thread made on Tuesday
Fuck off with your dead game

If you want everything broken down into microfactions with 2-3 models each, go play AoS

Dorn having a mustache is just memes.

Because it's fun to build your own army?

Silence redditsoi

>If you want
But GW is doing it right now, you dumb soupfucker.

(You) earned this. Made me reply.

>Fuck off with your dead game
that where imperiumfags belong

>Are vehicles overcosted this edition with the way things have changed?

Anything ork that is not basic melee boyz is overcosted.

Weirdboyz are just decent for their point.

Rest of the index is garbage.

>Did he seriously bring a chainknife to a sword fight?

>Not wanting to use a chainknife so you can get up close and personal. Showing your foes your calm, unconcerned and uncaring face.

Let me guess. You'd rather him fight with a spear, like some other primarch failures.

It didn't have to be this way. If they had transitioned to 8th, this would be so much bette

Yeah, need to find a head with glorious chops to put on him.

The open mouth thing... just looks bad.

Can i take two different xenos detachements in one army?

Are there better rules for cover? Does Veeky Forums use houserules for cover?

>the largest, most played and bet selling faction by far needs to leave
>Because the least played of all groups doesn't like them
Kek, you're a special kind of retard my friend

Yes and sisters of battle eviscerators are in heroic scale whilst the Primarch models are made to look like artwork brought to life and honestly don't work very well as play rather than display pieces.

Are you really that stupid?

>"build your own army"

>"Okay, these guys are from Dynasty Faggotica and these guys are from Dynasty Retardicus, I also painted them all with the same color"

Then why did they all get rules before models? You are making it up as you go.

The only thing bland about Custodes is the barely distinguishable wargear amongst the plastic kits.

>what is half-swording

Because GW have a steely determination to mangle Primarch lore as far as possible, then have people field 14 foot Mary Sues in a normal game.

- Which one has more appealing models?
Orks
- Which one has more appealing rules?
I don't know
- Which one has more appealing lore?
Eldar
- Which one is less played in your group?
Khorne Daemons

I'm at a loss, I really like the Eldar lore

I'm thinking Orks just for the fun of kitbashing shit; I've got a bunch of spare Space Wolf stuff lying around from finishing my army so maybe I could make some ragtag looking guys.

>Kek, you're a special kind of retard my friend
largest and most played doesn't mean good
check out pubg faggotry

2nd custard armor is great looking. Some of the forgeworld stuff is really detailed.

Kinda why I like chaos stuff and hate normal space marines. Space marines look bland to me. hell each model in the custard kit is a bit different.

>segments of sub-factions of the same faction can't work together as a distinct force
Why the hell not?

Sounds like you're just a bitter old fart who can't handle change.

Bikes are in the mail

feeling hyped

>According to this thread, some sort of soy based army
Made me chuckle

To make an army I thought they all had to share a keyword... or is my non coffeed brain screwing that up?

Indeed. We should have just 1 Astra Mlitarum, 1 Space Marines and 1 Agents of the Imperium

For people wanting to play them anyway ?

Forge world was always about making display pieces, that somehow got rules because people wanted to play them.

GW used to be about the rules first and then providing the models to play it.
It changed a bit under kirby (Make the rules so that we sell the models. Also according to GW most of their playerbase don't play the game at all anyway).
But the point stay :
Citadels models are meant to be played, FW to be displayed.
GW pricing is directly related to how many they expect you to buy, FW pricing are pretty linear with weight and number of pieces.

I bet you cried soup when the space marine codex came out with all those chapter tactics in them
4/10 bait. Got a (you)

I'd argue there are standout units like big gun kannons and mek gun KMKs, Nobz, and I've found great results using killa kanz frequently. but you are correct, most of the index is pretty tame especially compared to the bonuses codex armies may hold over an index army like chapter tactics and stratagems, which an index just straight up does not have.

>"Why the hell not?"
Because you are a waac soup fucker who acknowledges his army is fucking shit without that meme subfaction combo

See: Nids who only use Kraken and Kronos to win games

Is it OP bullshit soup to take my once legal DG bikers, havocs and obliterators, put them in a CSM detachment and field them alongside DG units? Or should they all just be generic Nurgle renegades, since you can't even call them Death Guard with the codex?

>what is half-swording
Fighting with only half of a sword.

I prefer to use the tip half instead of the hilt half, as the tip is sharp. Even if it hurts my hand.

What's the best shield-captain assuming I don't want to use the named guy?

As I've said, models > rules > lore > less played.
As you still aren't keen on the rules, watch some recent battle reports to get a glimpse of how they are played. Also, watch games in your FLGS and even ask if people would play vs proxied armies to test rules.

Your soup works if you call one detachment Death Guard and the other a generic nurgle renegade

It's called Nurgle/CSM soup
