FW gear for Custodes when?

Why doesn't GW just sell thinner paints?

>We could've got cool Rubric and Psychic relics
>We got shitty mortal wounds on death and Scrolls instead

It's not fair bros.

>thats not tea or coffee in those cups
>its soup
>gw endorses soup lists

Big Celestine tits right in my face

xth for best kabal

I want macha to sit on my face

its soy

Haven't really spent any time on anything 40k since just before 8e came out and I usually just play small sub-1000 skirmishes. Are my Black Templar melee blobs good yet? How about classic Land Raider Crusader speaheads?

Also, what's the state of AdMech?

New guy, I wanna make a Tau army because I'm a sucker for mechs. I also like the contrast between the bestial Kroot and the sleek high tech Tau machines, so that's something I wanna work with. I'm more interested in the painting and converting side of the hobby than the actual playing.

I'll be starting with the starter box, but would this list be a good 1k list to work towards? I mostly want to get as many battlesuits as I can, which is hard since most of them cost a fuckton of points. Sad.

>heard GK are now ass against Daemons
>fight them for the first time
>holy shit I literally can’t kill anything
>tfw GK
How are your armies feeling, in one picture?

>giving a zog about some panzee git

I dont think the meltas are any good on them and they're vulnerable to counter charges.

For, 37ppm(?), you get three of them with combi-flamers that they are allowed to fire on to top of the combi-bolters on their bikes and ride up to hordes.
12 bs3+ bolter shots, 6 bs4+ bolter shots and 3d6 automatic s4 hits, thats worth a bit over 100 points, right?

But yeah, the more I look at them the worse they seem.

If they're not Anorei Collins sized, they're not big

Stop trying to force your gayass meme, Milhouse

Are CSM actually the misunderstood and betrayed good guys of 40k?
Dark does not always mean evil.

So I was looking through the GK line. Who designed these legs? What were they smoking? Why would anyone want to play GK?

Let's not even get into the dreadknight

What's worse: not thinning your paints or bringing unpainted models?

fuck off ork filth before i satisfy my murderboner by flaying your mushroom ass alive

>tfw deathwatch

>Why would anyone want to play GK?
thats a good question to ask, especially now.

some but most are raging retards.

What’s wrong with them? Aside from one running pose I think is difficult to model with, they’re just better terminators legs. The line looks fucking cool as a whole, and even the dreadknight has grown on me. It’s not quite so ugly in person

No.

They're the misanthropic degenerates who dont give a fuck about anything.

Dude, try to imagine what their legs look like in there. Also are you forgetting how thick terminator armor is?

because when they were released they were the shit.

i too dont mind the dreadknight. i'd never buy one but i dont want to throw up when i see it

What do you think is the single best-looking model GW currently sell?

My vote goes to Astorath. Sexy as fuck. model with lovely details everywhere.

When some mortar-like weapon ablity indicate that "This weapon can target units that are not visible to the firing model," does that mean that it can still shoot at enemy in range even though 5ft tall walls on all 4 corners are blocking its way?

>Play Deathwatch
>Units are decent, but it always feels like I'm playing with half of the points my opponents have due to everything being expensive as shit.
>Add some Ad-mech for long range firing support, which Deathwatch lacks outside of Rocket-Las Dreadnoughts.
>Add more Ad-mech
>Remove more and more Deathwatch
>End up playing pure Ad-mech.

Since the Cicatrix Maledictum has ended near the T'au empire, I think there's a chance of the new codex making the T'au use the rift as a giant warp portal to go in and out of the Immaterium, and settle new colonies at least outside of their own little sector. I'd see them do a brilliantly stupid thing like that and that'd give them a greater relevance in the grand scheme of things.

Is on foot Archaon still on sale?

It's more cost effective to skip smaller quantities of more concentrated paint I guess.

Blacktalon from AoS

Dont ask me why, but when i used to collect Lotr, i really liked the Mordor Troll. Still my favourite model. Suprised nobody has used it as a nurgle daemon prince conversion or something.

>SoB

>Im going to build some H.R. Giger styled nids.

you wot?

>Hellish visions
>hellish PORN visions
h.r. geiger is more of slanesh if anything.

How do space marines go potty? They can't just easily take off their armor.

This has never been explained in any of the codexes or BL novels.

>So many editions on the bottom
>Now, Dinobugs reign supreme.

RAW, yes.
Sometimes people houserule ceilings as denying an attack from artillery OR the shell might crash through the ceiling of the ruins.

Tau

They barely even eat? And when they do it's probably straight protein paste that doesn't result in bodily waste or something

All the fucking smug bullshit I had to put up with for playing pure scions in 7th was worth it.

...

probably built in waste management

A Fleshborer is a small tyranid organism attached to a somewhat larger tyranid organism which has no role in life other than producing small tyranid fetuses (fleshborer beetles), and to launch them out of its orifice which, by definition, is genitalia.
Same goes for the Rupture Cannon. Same goes for the Spore mine Launcher. Same goes for any tyranid ranged weapon which does not shoot spikes or liquids. And let's not even talk about genestealers.

>They're the misanthropic degenerates who dont give a fuck about anything.
ADB begs to differ.

orks

They eat and drink plenty.
Also, Blood Angels eat people.

Power armour has waste processing systems that recycle urine into water that is fed intravenously through connections in the black carapace. Marines barely process any solid waste because their red blood cells don't die as often as ours and they have much more efficient digestive systems. The only solid "waste" they produce comes from their oolitic kidney which shoots out toxins and poisons from their anus like a jet.

>efficient digestion systems
>mostly eating nutrient paste while on campaign
>complete conscious control over all of their normally unconscious bodily functions
It never needs to come up. Space marines do their business off camera, when the fighting is finished.

>Complete conscious control over all of their normally unconcious bodily functions
A space marine can make his own heart stop, or stop breathing until they suffocate?

>which shoots out toxins and poisons from their anus like a jet.
I have not read this in any BL novel yet.

I'm surprised people converting demon princes don't jump for the balrog model immediately

They're evil. Everyone is evil in 40k.

Theoretically? Yes. It's how they can flood their systems with adrenaline at-will, or turn half of their brains off to continue functioning without sleep for weeks at a time.

What about when they need to fap?

None horsier.

Why would you?

their dick dont work

>Everyone is evil in 40k.
Tau aren't.

>an orweillian dystopia isn't evil
sure thing, boss

>the Orwellians aren't evil

Okay

You're missing the point of the setting, but okay

>brainwashing, euthanizing, and sterilizing millions of civilians isn’t evil

didn't they nuke a whole hive full of civilians?

It does, they just don't have a libido to need erections and shit.

Might be a bit big lad, would probably make a better bloodthirster with some khorne armour somewhere.

Hmm, I wonder who's behind these posts...

this is what i meant im sure they can shit out of their dicks just fine like normal people

>taufag starts to meme when his bullshit is called out
a surprising turn of events

jews?

before fighing tyranids i cover all my marines in codoms . (their vehicles too)

it's still a perfect chaos model. And its wings are intact which only makes it beter

but wouldn't giger as he wants it be more deldar anyway? just convert up some even more fucked beast packs and you've got whatever kind of alien rip off you desire.

Dunno about you, the responses all sound the same. It's almost like it's an organized campaign or something. You tell me.

>sterilizing

They don't do that, though.

Besides the 20 Anniversary WD says that the T'au represent progressives, equality, and enlightenment. These things are never negative or evil.

People who have readd the lore.

Didn't notice that tyranid at the bottom at first, any more conversions of this?

>is wrong
>surprised when everyone tells him he's wrong
you put in minimal effort but still got some biters so im giving you a 4/10

Yes they do.

>everyone tells me I'm wrong the same way!
>it can't possibly be that I'm wrong, and there are clearly and widely understood points as to why I'm wrong, IT'S A CONSPIRACY

Okay

You're still missing the point of the setting, but okay

>tfw as a kid you had a metal balrog and nazgul
>cleaning out old shit recently
>throw them out because superglue covered shit you won't do anything with anyway
>realize you could make a daemon out of it
>check price on GW site

Repost a question:

Why dont i see more list with chaos bikers in them? they seem really good:a unit of 3 can move 14 then deliver 3 melta guns, hitting on 3s, or move 20(!) and do the same, but hitting on 4s. They can all also take chainswords, and are T5 2W each, all for 26PPM base.
What am i missing here?

How?

Once they release the AdMech vs Tau book.
I'm sure it's coming soon...

Dude stop meming, the point in 40k is that everyone is evil and just does what they can to justify and live with themselves. WD says the Imprrium stands for honor, courage, and commitment, which isn’t “bad” either. Every army fanboys for itself, but we all know in the backdoor every army does fucked up shit to survive.

And yeah I don’t remember what codex but the pay do sterilize guardsmen that ally with them in some bit of fluff. Stop being a special snowflake, in the grim darkness of the far future there is only war.

> represent progressives, equality, and enlightenment

SJW says that too

run them with flammers instead if anything,

>the company's product magazine's throwaway descriptor is more important than in-universe content from the faction's own books

Okay

Whats the best loadout for this guy?

Is it just me or did GW fuck up?
Primaris Marines were the perfect opportunity to introduce female marines without going against the old fluff. They could have had 50/50 male/female models and thereby both made a powerful statement against sexism and recruited the lucrative young female demographic to the hobby.
Why didn't they do it?

>implying you wouldn't prefer to live under the tau every day of the week, if you were given the choice
This whataboutism must stop!

Which part of the imperium roots out and punishes people trying to develop AI? The inquisition? If so, which branch?

I guess that it might be an awkward time to ask with the new codex coming out soon but what does a decent deldar list look like these days?
I want to start them after finishing my custards.(Who I hear are terrible unfortunately)

They don’t do anything for the cost, quite simply. It’s 129 for a squad with melta when you could grab a squad of havocs with lascannons for 165, or a DP for 170. The opportunity cost is generally to high in such a high-output meta. They’re good generalists but this edition is anathema to generalist units. The only good ones I’ve seen are BA, with DA, UM, and SA/WS being okay. They don’t jive with traitor traits and aren’t great to begin with so you don’t see them in competitions.

Deathwatch one’s could be insanely good if they could actually take stuff, what a fucking punch in the nuts

double fist

Admech and their division for tech heresy.

why flamer ? shorter range means you have to advance to get in range, so cant use your anti-infantry twin bolter?

Noble and good guys can make mistakes and error in judgement. No everything is a black and white.

>I don’t remember what codex but the pay do sterilize guardsmen that ally with them in some bit of fluff.

No codex ever said this and I have all the codexes!

I would prefer to be a pleasure slave for a sexy deldar mama.

>Primaris Marines were the perfect opportunity to fuck up
>they didn't do that
>therefore they fucked up
pretty sure it's just you

>These things are never negative or evil.
Now that's what I call a shitpost

not mine. there is actually a small tutorial in french on how to make it as well as more pics from other angles here.
leskouzes.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/raider-scylla.html
i'd love to make one but i dont think it would work with my deldar scheme
