I've put some thought into starting my first army of table top 40k and I'd like some advice on what to get. I think tyranids look cool but they seem like a bitch to paint. Cost is an issue so what's the cheapest army to get? Should I stick with 'nids or find something better?

hey /tg/,
why dont we talk about cavalry much in this board? lots of cultures in history have had interesting and distinct forms of cavalry which are famous as being representative of their entire culture. for example:
companions
cataphracts
mamaluks
knights
hussars
chariots
elephants
samurai
keshik

what interesting cavalry types would appear in a fantasy setting /tg/?

heres my contribution: girraffe riders would are picked for their exellecent eyesight as scouts and sentries in the vast plains. the giraffe gives them the best field of view and is able to travel long distances faster. in battle, they are able to attack from behind the front line of shorter troops. they are highly trained and are known for being able to find weak points in the enemy line and rapidly redeploy to push through it by their own initiative. they are equipped with javelins, shields and lances.

We all know certain factions such as the Inquisition, some Space Marines (Wolfs), and Custodes will often recruit regular Guardsmen to serve alongside them in some mission, or as serfs, or even as full-blown members.

We also know the Deathwatch is the grimdark equivalent of the Delta Force, as in, several Space Marines from different chapters, cross-trained together to fullfill a special assignment (Spec-Ops).

What I want to know, and I have been searching all over for it, if is there any "Special Ops" regiment for the Imperial Guardsmen. I wonder if there is such a thing, how could I incorporate it into a game, and if such a thing would fit with the cannon. Spec-Ops as in: "There are Guardsmen from several different regiments, who performed excellently and survived situations not even a more speciallized agent could. Let's band them together and send them on dangerous assignments.".

I'm pretty sure this idea didn't originate from my head, I read something along those lines here before.

Do y'all recast miniatures for personal use in your games? What about casting your own, original miniatures? Do you find it difficult to capture details?

Could one design original proxy models (avoiding copyright concerns) and have them 3d printed on demand, then recast more copies? How to avoid print lines in the master model?

Would it make sense for an Ogre to be adopted by a human? I want a brute with human foster parents Hellboy style but I'm not sure if an Orc wouldn't be a better option since Ogres are large and wouldn't fit most homes. On the other hand Orcs just aren't as cool to me.

>My sons, after careful consideration I've decided to follows Malcador advice and create female primarchs, your "little sisters" if you will, they will not have the same accelerate growth as you, they shall fully mature in ten years instead of three, giving time for me to actually practice into being a father.
>I will create eighteen of them, and after five years I will make arrangements for you to meet them.

How would the primarchs react to this turn of events?

New miniature game by Wyrd.

>The Other Side is an upcoming game about allegiances doing battle across the Earth in a fight for supremacy and survival. Using 32mm miniatures, players will control squads of troops and massive titans as they attempt to defeat their foes and seize control of Earth.. Conflict is resolved through the use of a deck of cards, allowing players more control over their own destinies. The Other Side shares a world with Malifaux, but the games are not compatible.

>The Other Side is a streamlined game intended to be easy to pick up and learn while still providing an exciting, tactical experience for players.

>The epic battles taking place across the Earth are played out on a 6 x 4 table with scattered, light terrain. Alternating activations keep you involved in the action every step of the way, while a five turn game keeps the fighting quick and bloody. The average game lasts about two hours.

>The Other Side is won and lost by how well your troops complete their mission, creating an ebb and flow to the battle as objectives are fiercely contested throughout the entire game

I just started watching this right now. What am I in for. Can we talk about it while I watch it? The main character (protagonist?) is already making me cringe hardcore due to his perfect impersonation(orisit?) of a NEET.

The last thread I made didn't go anywhere so I'm making another one.

/TG/ I need your help

I have a big game of warhammer coming up. My friend is coming down to visit me for the new years and we're both getting our armies together.

It's a roughly 2000 point game of me and my Space Marines vs his Chaos space marines.

He's packing some serious heat, He has a greater brass scorpion, two heldrakes, typhus, terminators galore, and two mauler fiends (I know he has some other stuff but we both decided to keep parts of our army secret.)

We both decided to play to win, so we're going all out (but not complete total cheese).

I've been reading a lot of shit but particular I'm worried the scorpion and his heldrakes.

I currently have

1 imperial knight paladin with chainsaw arm and rapid fire battle cannon

1 terminator squad w/ havoc missile launcher and assault cannon

1 terminator assault squad w/ TH/SS

x7 Space Marines with frag grenades, plasma gun, rocket launcher. 1 veteran sergeant with plasma pistol and power sword.

x7 Space Marines with frag grenades, plasma gun, melta-gun. 1 veteran sergeant with plasma pistol and power fist (might trade for lightning claws)

1 land raider.

I have room for some more stuff in my army, what should I get and how what strategies should I use to defeat my opponent. He always beats me but this is my time. I want to win for The Emperor. Please halp.

I need some HQ choices that would be good.

I was thinking about bringing an allied detachment of grey knight terminators w/ caldor draigo, but I don't know if that would be helpful.

I was also thinking maybe some assault marines to get some more fast attack.

Do you have some buildings, within your daily routine which look like something RPG related ?
It doesn't need to be fantasy related.

>pic related, I look at this building everyday.

Hey /tg/, first and foremost this is not a 'redeemed succubus' thread or a chance to post red-tinted hotties (although I doubt you'll find much resistance to it). Nay, this is a cry for help.

I'm a vet GM at this point and I'm an aspiring actor, meaning my improv is, generally, above average, making my plot-hooks and stories that bound off the intended rails relatively seamless to my players. Luckily, this illusion has not been broken, due to a timely session end, but it may be soon, and this is where you come in. Let me catch you up, with the story, so far:

In my campaign, a player was running a skeletal knight PC. The fellow was once a paladin, who felt his death to be a spit in his face (fairly valid, based on circumstances) and in his final rage, tore the good from his heart and allowed evil to fill the gaps, resurrecting him in his skeletal form. However, while he was no less miffed with his gods, he quickly realised how much he fucking hated being a skeleton. Long story, short, he eventually found a group of four sister succubi, all eternally bound to a single master, who missused them (didn't give them the chance to gobble dick OR kill people- truly a Blackheart). Skeleton man, after witnessing the succubi arouse his non-existent senses killed their master of 4 centuries and unbound them from their torment. He did this without signing any contracts with them, leaving the last vestige of his humanity in the trust of these four just doing right by him and offering to help, rather than binding them to help.

Luckily, they did! They, while in contact with him, could make him feel his flesh and innards, and after returning to their hellish abode, performed a sacrificial bargain to rebind demonic flesh to his skeletal form. Three of the succubi went to immediately re-acquainting themselves with their decadent home and with eachother, but another (seemingly the eldest) took to their books and began work. Cont-
