Still mad that Red Scorpions fet all the nifty toys. I hope we can get a conversion kit that would make it a bit bigger like he is here, I find the normal one between the blocky boxnaught and the round contemptor weird.

IA14 Everyone.

>>47247704
I'm ambivalent for much the same reason. The whole reason why Titans and Knights are different is that a large vehicle needs a team of assistants, while a smalle Knight has more agility and control as reflected by their higher WS and BS.

I can see a justification for this, which is that this knight is an emergency measure for heavy low-mobility firepower when a Scion is available but a Titan team isn't. But I doubt that will be followed too strictly in either fluff or promotion.

In a nutshell, the diversity of the game is threatened by the current taumech spam. The game is objectively less interesting and fun when armies and factions are samey.

If the large walker game stuck along the following grounds:
- Imperial: Big, heavy, expensive gunplats
- Orks: Cheap bucket-o'-bolts short-ranged carnage
- Eldar: Typical sleek stuff
- Tau: Much smaller, agile but not fast, punchy for their size, dependent on aircraft for heavy power
- Chaos: Weird and nasty, most melee-preferential
- Tyranids: Cheap and relatively agile, low raw defense but able to recover, spawn smaller creatures
- Necrons - Mixture of Canopteks and C'tan: former are tough, low-skill, weird, latter are expensive, pintsize powerhouses

>>47247974
>>47247952
So who are left? I count 11 in their website + Russ here. I assume the Emprah himself is also due for release.

>>47247998

Other people to look out for are Emps, Malcador and Valdor

>>47247998

>>47248028

And Kelbor-Hal. Don't forget him.
Everyone else does.

>>47248044
Oh yeah.
Probably because of a certain someone else, who should also be getting a model.

Maybe he'll be in the Solar War book (iirc the martian civil war kicked it off), which would give them a good reason to make Dorn as well

>>47247512

You said what I was trying to say perfectly.

>>47248139

>>47247993
The riptide chassis has been played with quite a bit. Forgeworld has always pushed the boundary with larger sculpts.

It would be nice if some other stuff got support, but honestly that's just asking for more LoW's.

Realistically they need to put out an epic style game and get this stuff out of their system. The realities of trying to own play with land based weapons the size of a battle titan are pretty stupid, if they're not for a FLGS showcase kinda thing.

>>47247993
This. And I'd go further and say that anything larger than a Riptide shouldn't be fielded in a normal 40k game. Leave those monstrosities for Apocalypse games.

Of all the things that bother me about 40k the giant tau mecha isnt one of them, and given the universe its in it kind of makes sense

If we first make the assumption that building giant bipedal mechs is a good idea, which given that knights, titans and the eldar wraith constructs etc exist, they are

Then you look at the tactical niche that most of them fill, with the exception of the larger imperial walkers they are all almost universally assault/shock platforms, which creates problems for the tau (in their pre mecha days) as it create the scenario where if air cover isn't heavy enough to destroy 100% of opposing enemy giant robots they insta lose when they crash into their lines

So the tau, realizing that their doctrines created a situation where they could lose, adapted, and built a fuckhuge robot capable of shrugging off the worst of titan weaponry and armed to smash them open when they close in to perform their assaults

Another anon was quite right, they genuinely has no reason to have such an equipment. Minotaurs could be acceptable, and even then, it would be relics, ancient and revered and all.
But no Red Scorpions get all the nigty toys, throw them somewhere and that's it.

I mean for fuck's sake, the Leviathan Dreads were already rarities in the Heresy, being made so late, and rare, and dangerous. Yet RS have one for their chapter master, just like that.
And that Mastodon, how much do you bet we're gonna get told it's rare as fuck, impossible to get, yet RS have loads of them.

>a pony keg is a str 8 ap 2 barrage weapon with a cumulative -2 to the targets cover save

Cute. You know what other weapon has those exact same stats?

Any one FW says. They're not real, you know.

So it doesn't have to look like a keg or be shoulder mounted or make the rest of the model look stupid. Those were all concepts okayed by FW before release. I can still express opinions about that, right? I mean, it's not too late?

If you're unable to sell a 1200 dollar resin brick to someone who wants to buy it because of shame, it's your problem. Meanwhile people who do are not poorfags, because they make 1200 dollars per resin brick and laugh all the way to the bank.

So can we just drop Indominus pattern Terminator armor now? FW has made it completely useless. Not as good protection as Cataphractii and can't sweep like Tartaros. So... why is it a thing again?

Because
>muh Space Hulk

>>47248967
You can. And people can inform you of things you might have not known before seeing one picture and losing your shit.

>>47249014
Normal people call those "scammers", and usually they get what they deserve in the end.

>>47249014
Looking at your pic, I do find a difference though.

Art is the artifical creation of value.
Novody cares about a childish canva until someone says "Hey Imma give you 1k for that shit." Suddenly that artist is worth 1k,while other people who made chilish canva will still be worth jackshit.
It's the demand that actually give its value to the offer.

In FW's case, it's them taking a beick of resin and saying "that brick right here is worth 1k" while in truth it's worth maybe 50-100 dollars if we consider GW prices.
But since people buy it, it's actually the offer that gives it value.

But as long as people will buy, we'll see cases like that I'm afraid.

>>47249015
You mean when multiple "titan-killer" flyers lost managed to destroy a single warhound while suffering losses and how for the Tau it was a major achievement?

Because that's how FW addressed it. For all the times the air supremacy bringing down titans meme it's been swinged around nobody mention that smallest existing titan chassis it was what their air supremacy managed to take down.

>>47249179
i.e. this hobby is full of retards

>>47249015

>>47249271
>You know what you get and you know what you're paying for it

Do you know the actual value of even a fraction of the things you happily pay for every day?

>>47249219

>>47249219
Indomitus - +1 T?

>>47249179
I've never seen a piece of art for sale that was "pay what you want."

An artist or an art dealer will put the price on a work they think is the market value of it, based on work put into it, the notoriety of the artist, etc.

FW put a value on their resin brick based on the work put into it, notoriety of FW over some two-bit outfit, etc.

>>47249306

But MKIII has rules- void hardened or whatever- that give it certain advantages and disadvantages versus standard armor. Indominus is just... worse. Not even cheaper than the other two. Just worse.

>>47249347
Sure, but the market in art,when concerning new artists, don't start with someone saying "Hey fuckheads, I painted 3 red lines on some white canvas, give me 10k!" It's almost always some rich weird guy that will suddznly give value to that guy because reasons. And then indeed, that artist can start making his own prices. But otherwise, it's definitely the buyer that gets to choose what this piece of art is worth at first. I mean, otherwise, everyone would be an artist if you could get easy money like that.

FW is now in the position of a renowned artist though, people know them, plus they benefited from theor whole "we're like the elite for GW models" which enabled them immediately when they started to have some artificial value in their products.

No, it doesn't. Breachers have void hardened, but they're not limited to any one armour type. Legion heavy support squads can also purchase hardened armour and it also isn't tied to any one armour.

Depends, if you get up to Warlord size and above, yes.

>>47249470
The Imperium are the ones with plot armour. The Tau worked hard to plot the perfect trap to draw in bulk of the Imperial forces, ravage them, and then send them back in shambles to the Imperium. With the defeat of the crusade, there would been nothing to stop the Tau from grabbing a big chunk from the Imperium and tripling their holdings.

But alas, the Imperials pulled a bullshit plot device weapon to protect themselves and preserve the status quo.

And the statu quo is definitely not maintained, as it was already established when the campaign was barely over rhat Taus were alreadu well on their way to have shields to negates the flames.

>>47249514
The point of the Damocle Gulf is that Tau have a very slow FTL drive, so they can either go throught it and reach new planets within reasonable time or go around it and need years.

>>47249514

-the Imperials lost 50% of their forces in the firebombing of the planet

How do you function, anon?

>>47249652
And the cost of having designers on the payroll, the cost of running the facilities, etc.? Plus markup. How much are they worth?

>>47249698
The cost of those is included in those $200-300. Unless you expect to sell less than 20.

>>47249830
I'd love to see your calculations.

>>47249830
I think Forge World sells less of the big kits than you'd think. My brother bought a Stormsword maybe a year or two before it was replaced with the plastic/resin conversion kit, and his certificate number was below 300 or something stupid like that.

>>47249403
Montka/koyon. Do you tau faggots read your own shit?

>>47249889
Well maybe they would sell more if the prices were not so goddamn ridiculous.
It's above the GW's point of "expensive, but still affordable if you're not some crazy hoarder."
I mean look at those new prices, you need to be quite wealthy to dump such an amiunt if moneh on a resin brick.

>>47247946
>>47248865

Honest question though why is this stuff so expensive? I don't know anything about the manufacturing process. Is it really that expensive to make, is it the premium you pay for a very detailed model that they won't sell very many of? Or is it just a pure scam?

>>47249401
But what if... and hear me out. There were THREE fliers attacking from different directions?

>>47250046
Pure scam.
The only possible argument for those prices is that it's like a luxury product. You definitely don't need it, but it's supposedlt better quality than others and rare, so let's jack up thoese prices.

>>47248700
It's probably a balancing measure, given GW central's boner for powerwanking the Imperium in fluff for the last X years. If I had to choose between an Imperium mostly or always portrayed as winning or losing, it'd be the latter because that's actually interesting.

>>47248304
>>47248417
Guy who wrote the summary here, the thing that interests me the most about operating a titan is the detail of actualling manning one from the perspective of the crew. Simply representing the beast's capacity with a BS of 3 and watching it generally knock a large chunk out of the enemy army every turn isn't very engaging. Epic remedies this by making the scale greater, so every side has many Titan-grade units. But then the game is just a mini 40K, which isn't that dinstinct an experience.

There hasn't been a fun representation of this experience in game form however. Adeptus Titanicus was a step in the right direction but it doesn't facillitate the feel of combat with much excitement. Video gaming is probably the single best approach, as it allows for easily adjustable scaling and varied real time versus turn-based pacing. Anyone who's played FTL knows the sort of experience I have in mind. The difference is control one slow walker and moving across a rugged battlefield, turning to face certain targets and making sure enough crew are on hand to manage the guns, the Princeps is protected and so on.

>>47250873
40K needs to be a platoon scale game. A leader, a few squads and some sort of heavy support element like a tank. However it needs ro be limited. A single tank, MAYBE two in bjgger games. Armies of maybe 30 to 40 guys at most. No fliers, no Knights, no Riptides. None of that shit is practical at 28mm.

That stuff comes in with Epic. That's where you have tank companies and titans and fliers. It works at that 6-10mm scale because two models don't take up a quarter of the table.

No, I'm tired of them winning
A GARRISON force defeated millions of guardsmen AND two space marine chapters WITH knight support. The only ones who kiiiiinda won anything were the AdMech, and that's because they said "Fuck it" and deployed an Exterminatus on the planet, aka, you can't lose if you don't fight.

But IA14 will fix it by making them lose to muh superior Tau mecha and their abominable intelligences.

Srsly, they only need to defeat the Sisters of Battle and the Grey Knights now.

A Hive World has more humans than the total amount of Tau. Just make them fucking lose, even if it takes FW's pet chapter to do it.

Those were the times, back when the Tau didn't out-siege the Imperium, or out-titan'd them, they only had a different version of power armour.

Everything went downhill since the Riptide, which should have been a walker counterpart to the dreadnought, not a Monstrous creature.

>>47249434
That's the set up, not the conclusion.
They're not gonna spoil the end of the book.

But, I feel like with Tau being the invaders, and with IA books becoming as "predictable" as they are, that FW will throw us for a loop and have the Tau forced back.

But, if the Tau do take it, and it's on the far side of the Damocles inferno, then hoorah, all hail the Shadowsphere Expanse, or whatever they plan to call the new Tau faction lead by a cut-off Shadowsun.

That's like switching to Salamanders just for Bray'arth or their cool 30k units.

If you didn't like the chapter before, it's not worth switching just for some chapter unique sculpts.

I do wish every player could enjoy a unique sculpt like this, but it's not feasible since most chapters don't have enough players to pump out dozens of special heroes for. I guess players should be happy if they play a founding legion or closely related chapter like Black Templars that can use the 30k toys.

Trained mold maker here, the type of precision machining required to make the molds for such detailed figures is *not* cheap. Given the tight tolerating required in machining cavities to maintain detail in the models, plus the cost in tooling and machinery and how expensive good mold-making steel is compared to mild or tool steel, shit ain't cheap. All this without even talking about how many cavities you'd need, the price of having a talented design+sculpt team create the original sculpture, the cost of running injection molding machines, packaging, CS and the like.

If I had to guess, I'd say that for a big fuckin model with lots of fiddly little pieces that need to look good and fit together properly, the mold by itself would easily cost in the neighbourhood of 20-50 thousand CAD (15.5-38.6 thousand USD), and that's just for one mold.
