Warhammer 40,000 General /wh40k/

>>50996955
Here's the stuff from yesterday's Open Day about Adeptus Titanicus.

>The book is done, the minis are done. Titanicus is going to print next week and will be out this year.

>They are going to do a big release with boxed game plus extras. They pushed the schedule back a bit to flesh it out more.

>They have learned from BB that people are lapping Specialist Games up, so are going to get more budget for it.

>Adeptus Titanicus is delayed (it was originally planned to be released around february). Not being rushed out. Might be out before the end of the year.

>There will be complete plastic buildings (which you can destroy yourself, by cutting etc).

>Thanks to Blood Bowl, and the delay there is a possibility of plastic Titans which go on sale at the same time as the black book / resin ones.

>The book art for ‘Titan’s Death’ is being worked on right now.

>The game is set during the Horus Heresy in the spirit of the original Adeptus Titanicus.

>The scale will be 8mm – They decided on this scale after 3D printing a Marine, Dread, Leman Russ, Warlord and a Mastodon in three different scales. 8mm was deemed the best as you could see the details to the point of telling different armour marks apart but didn’t make the Titans too big.

>8mm will make a Warlord around 6″ tall (that’s what it looked like why Andy Hoare put his hands apart, don’t blame me if the final model is smaller or larger…).

>Down the road infantry and tanks are to be introduced.

>Other forces are also possible, this includes Xenos which can be introduced in a themed expansion, e.g. Adeptus Titanicus: Armageddon to bring in the Orks.

>Currently the Titans are being 3D modelled by Chris Drew, the Warlord has been done as the 40k version was originally 3D modelled so it was a case of just scaling things down and getting it to work as a model which can be manufactured.

>We may, may, get to see something at the Forge World Open Day…(may, depending on Tony Cottrell)

Soo, what are the chances that a space marine chapter deemed renegade/on the run from the Imperium (not apart of the Imperium yet not apart of Chaos) would team up with a Rogue Trader's fleet? A more chaotic neutral Rogue Trader, of course. Secondly, how would one field such a force on the tabletop?

My chapter, the Vermillion Wings (Blood Angel successors) have a crazy mutation that makes them cannibalistic, and they devour the dead after the battle in a great feast (their own dead are devoured by their battle brothers/squad mates). When the Inquisition found out, they called for the planet they resided on to be invaded and the chapter cleansed. The majority of the Chapter got away. The PDF of the world were forced into a penal legion in order to redeem themselves and the planet itself was occupied.

>>50996955
Nth for Do you think Fires of Cyraxus will give Marines stuff too? Probably.

And GSC players will shit themselves when Djinn-Sight on Thallax fucks their entire army

Use an inquisitor to be the "rogue trader" and then his henchmen are his henchmen

>There's hope for Battlefleet Gothic coming back

New player. I just bought a bunch of space marine plastic.

Am I better off going ultramarines for the special characters and flexibility from combat doctrines, or the cool marksmen/sneaky shit that Raptors get to do?

>>50997005
Would they team up? Sure, why not. Galaxy's pretty big, I'm sure one RT would use some freaky beakies to do his dirty work, although a full chapter may be a bit wasted following him around. I've loved the idea of a squad of Marines accompanying one across the universe from the start, though, so go for it.

As for how to play, that depends on the chapter. I'd look for formations/tactics used in CSM codex if you want a tainted feel, but I don't see why they'd act any different than vanilla marines

>>50997061
pick whichever colour of space marine is your favourite

I think the baby-easy-tier would be imperial fists though, since they're good with bolters you don't need to think about anything

>>50997005
>(Blood Angel successors) have a crazy mutation that makes them cannibalistic

Yeah, it's called being a Blood Angel.

For real though, I'd say that the easiest way to run it on the table is to run a Blood Angels Primary and an Inquisitorial Agents Allied Detachment, with the Inquisitor standing in for the Rogue Trader and his minions.

Also, Rogue Traders can pretty much do whatever they want as long as they're rich enough, especially if they're on the borders/outside of Imperial space (where their warrant grants them absolute authority in the name of the Emperor). A well-connected Rogue Trader could almost certainly keep at least a chunk of them in his retinue, especially if they managed to change their heraldry and name. The RT can shield them from all but the most dedicated of questioning because of his warrant, but even then it'd be a tight-rope-walk for him to both utilize them and for them to remain at least somewhat in the shadows.

You don't just "throw away" a Space Marine Chapter after all. He'd at least seriously consider their offer, if not accept it on the condition of him being in command.

>>50997079
Come on man. Yellow is hard as balls. Don't tell him to do Imperial Fists.

>>50997078
>>50997005
I mean, the more pressing matter is "what space marine respects a rogue trader enough to do business with them"

especially a chaos marine, like, chaos marines are almost demigods with the potential to ascend to daemonhood and become immortal

why would you care about some shitty rogue trader who will die in a couple of years

>>50997092
A successor is a great idea. Crimson Fists are what I'd recommend for newbies, you get characters, the 'vanilla' tactics, and an easy (not to mention cool) color scheme. Plus most anything is fluffy

>>50997105
Renegades are not always Chaos marines.

>>50997092
I didn't say he had to paint yellow, I said that using imperial fist rules are the baby easy way to play space marines

it's even in the base rulebook that crimson fists would just use imperial guard tactics

then you can just paint them blue and away you go

The more successful Rogue Traders and still considered young at the age of 200, and have fortunes that rival and even excel those of any Space Marine Chapter. They command vast fleets of warships that can take on their Naval equivalent (and often dominate them if the Inquisitor is sneaky beaky about putting the good shit in them) and are so wealthy that money literally does not have any value to them - they think only in favors and assets, and even then it's a the macro scale. A Rogue Trader can VERY likely have something a Space Marine Chapter could want, such as ships, a base of operations, regular supply lines, and political protection, as well as softer powers such as information, intelligence, and some credibility.

Also, the anon said these guys weren't Chaos Marines. They are still Loyalists, just with a cultural mannerism that pissed off the wrong person. Though I'll admit it's a pretty big one. Some Mortals, especially the more powerful ones, can also command the respect of Space Marines through their actions and deeds. It's not super-common, but it often does happen.

>>50997150
If you're going to use the Punisher with a Tank Commander, I'd highly recommend trying to find the points to get Pask. Rending Punisher is great, and even better if you make him your Warlord so him and his buddy re-roll 1's to hit and wound. This is good because it helps you re-roll Gets Hot rolls for the Executioner.

Would it be weird to fluff a Stormhawk Interceptor as having a Dreadnought-style setup for the pilot? The cockpit looks rather similar to a sarcophagus. Would a marine with the injuries needed to make a dreadnought necessary still have the reflexes and skills needed to pilot an aircraft?

I don't give a shit. They're my fucking models. I've worked hard for them,bought them myself and came up with my own paint scheme and everything. Their my models so why should I give a fuck about what other people think?

>>50997294
It has been known to happen. Blood axes are the dedicated Ork Mercenaries, though really I think most Orks can be convinced to fight someone else by giving them enough loot.

Granted, this only works if they don't think they can just kill you and take it, and they'll also still come back to fight you later anyway, because Orks.

I bought a Stormcloud Attack box to get a helturkey and thought the extra dice and sidegame would be worth the find. Should I keep the Stormtalon (I don't play beakies) or try and sell it? If I were to keep it I'd be attempting a Stormhawk conversion.

>>50997082
>>50997078

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Think I'll go with that. Been wanting to check out the Agents book anyways lol.

Ever since reading about RT and how RTs usually took marines with them I've been wanting to run a force like that.

>>50997323
Sweet, so does that mean I could potentially field them as an allied detachment?

>>50997276
>I identify as an Attack Stormhawk

I don't really see why, but go for it anyway. I like the idea of one fucking Techmarine getting tired of putting guys in boxes so he just decides 'fuck it' and sticks the dude in a fighter plane.

>>50997276
They are space marines so they can be as mary sue as you want them to be.

>>50997257
Yeah obviously, why should you be allowed to like stuff?

>>50997257

given that GW's stocks are steadily rising and they've got a billion new ways to "hook" people into the hobby it won't hurt them if one anon on /tg/ doesn't buy 40k but then instead buys plastic shit later

Dont see why not, they'd be hardwired to the controls with a machine-spirit aiding them just like if they were a normal pilot. Go for it, its a cool idea.

>>50997133

>>50996955
nice digits

Anyway, I made a thread a while ago asking if I'd be able to play a tau army with little to no tau.

Basically, I'd like to make an inclusive SJW Tau army where there is at least 1 squad representing each faction.

Now, I've learned that this will obviously be quite difficult to do as my Tau units will have to worry about being shot but here is my main issue.

Can orks fight alongside space marines without additional any additional issues when allied into a tau army or will their individual faction alinements come into play.

>>50997416
instead of posting fuck off you should fix your models

>>50997207

>>50997318
Because it's half the reason we paint our models.

On the one hand, you paint and convert and such for yourself, so your dudes look nice.

On the other hand, you do it so when you play others, they don't just see a mess of grey tide or horrible shit.

I have to ask, does that look good to you? I mean... Martian dust is one thing. But it's easy to pull off in a style that's subtle and high quality. Really all you have to do is maybe paint dark brown over that texture paint and give it a wash of agrax. Then pain the rim brown and you're good.

There's a kid at my local store that's similar. He has a ton of models, and doesn't run super cheese lists most of the time (in fact I played against his all Deathwing list which was fun).

But his models are all spraypainted gold. Not even GOOD gold, just shitty $3 spraycan. He never paints, never tries to improve. We've all offered to help him get a really nice, good gold on his models, but he just... doesn't try.

Aside from the fact that he's a little spergy, it's the only bad thing about playing him. It just sort of ruins the narrative experience when you've got... bright gold Deathwing, who are supposed to be all serious and mopey, doing this stuff.

I'm trying to help. If you'll never change your mind, I guess it doesn't matter. But even if they don't say it, unpainted/poorly painted stuff is no bueno, especially if you don't try to get better.

>>50997276
Dreadnought pilots spend most of their time in stasis and tend to get a little groggy. Wouldn't want your pilots to be like that.

>>50997433
Dude it's an old fucking pic. I don't have a time machine. I can't just go back and fix it. Besides this is 4chan people will bitch anyways no matter what so why should I care?

Question: how crazy can you be with Ork trukks? I've been thinking of buying a SM drop pod and truck bits to turn the pod into one. Just slap one wheels, take out 2-3 of the pod doors, add a killkannon on the roof and BAM!
...that would still be legal, right?

>>50997504
Yeah.

Back when they could carry the number of Orks you can get in it, people stuck wheels on KFC buckets and filled it with Orks, and that was legal, so yes, Drop Pod Trukks are legal.

>>50997471
They don't use Dreadnougnts, so maybe not the most fluffy choice.

But end of the day, your dudes are your dudes. Don't let anyone get in the way of that. Especially of your dude is a 60-ton aerial assault unit controlled the entombed remains of an eight-foot tall superhuman killing machine.

Any units from a faction follow the chart, no matter how many allies you're bringing. They won't fight each-other, but they have to deploy a certain distance away, and if they get to close they have a good chance at having a staring contest instead of going after the enemy.

I'm not sure why you're surprised people here are autistically attached to minor, insignificant details. It's basically the theme of the whole website.

At any rate, it does look just a bit jarring, perhaps a gentle drybrush of Steel Legion Drab on the fatigues of the models? At least then fresh, clean grey wouldn't look so weird against the dusty ground. I like the scheme though, reminds me of Starship troopers.

Does anyone have tips for playing against Tau and making it more fun/last longer.

>compared to what they are in modern fluff (non-existent)

Very, very little about Rogue Traders has changed at all, even discounting the Rogue Trader RPG's. There are still all sorts of RT's - some of them barely have a ship to their name, and some of them command entire empires just beyond the fringe of Imperial space and rule in the name of Terra (allegedly).

The rich and powerful RT's are kind of a big deal in the fluff, and always have been.

>>50997728
However much terrain your table has, use more. Make sure there's actual walls and buildings that block line of sight too.

>>50997276
>Would a marine with the injuries needed to make a dreadnought necessary still have the reflexes and skills needed to pilot an aircraft?

Absolutely, it works for Heldrakes

>>50997338
Sell it, or give it to a Space Marine player for a discount. Its a pretty nice little flier

>>50997669
That's the best one for making guys look dirty, but some of the actual dry paints can add good effects too.

In hindsight Astrogranite/Mourn Mountain may have been easier, but if you do it right the contrast will make it look really good. Your main issue right now is that the base draws the eye more than the model itself, which is a pretty big problem. To fix that, make sure you cover the WHOLE base with whatever the basing paint is called, then coat it in Agrax (spots of Seraphim Sepia add a neat thing too) to darken it down. A light drybrush of Zandri Dust will make it look top-tier.

You can help the model draw the eye better with highlights, I don't know what the armor is but some Dawnstone/Administratum Grey will make it look ten times more interesting. Just keep it clean, bad highlights ruin a model like nothing else

>>50997737
>Make sure there's actual walls and buildings that block line of sight too.

This is crucial.

In addition to blocking LoS, it actually gives Jump/Jet units a major use on the battlefield they otherwise would not have.

Space marines can't ally with orks

Tau can ally with orks
Tau can ally with space marines

As such, if I play tau and take both ork and space marine allies (if that can even be done). So do the space marines treat the ork unit as a tau unit, or are their additional consequences for causing two units to ally via Tau that normally could not as an individual faction?

I actually had the entire base covered in it before but people complained so that's why I tried out the silver rims. And I really like using Agrax to make the model look dirty. And the armor is Eshin Grey.

>>50997728

Basically what >>50997737 said. Having gotten into Admech more and more, the best ally is not being seen, especially against armies like Tau. Hide until everyone is in place, then let him have it. Just be careful of Tau's mobility, Jet Packs should never be underestimated.

Invest in Ruststalkers too. With all the MC bullshit they get, Fleshbane and at initiative AP2 are hilarious against guys that statistically probably won't wound you at all.

They aren't any restrictions on what allies you can take, just how they react to each other in game. Orks and space marines will always be come the apocalypse with each other and so cannot deploy within 12" of each other.

Boob armor and thin waists has always been fucking retarded. "It's just a game" "It's a fantasy world" has never been good reasoning for stupid things. I want to see some cool looking women, not sluts in slutty versions of male clothing. It's dumb and people who like it are dumb and weak.

>>50997832
Silver was actually part of your problem. The rim should complement the base, in your case Rhinox Hide, Steel Legion, or another such brown would work. I can't stress it enough but people liking your models has less to do with the painter's skill and more with how the colors and bits all come together.

It's tough to say. For some women the whole Lady Death/Vamperilla look is a part of their power fantasy. For others they would want something a bit more practical. Less indidivualy shaped boobs more an area that stocks out that on either end is shaped a shirt with boobs in it. Really, hard to say.

I am going to play in about 9 days hopefully. I just finished building my Veterans for my Guard army. They aren't amazing, but I did do a little kit bashing to put them together so I'm happy with it. Whatever is painted by that time is what I'll be going with. I might even go before then if I'm impatient. I really want to play, but I don't want to go without any painted models. I don't know anyone, so I feel uneasy. I feel like it would be easier if I had a totally put together army that looked decent enough and I had my rule book and all that.

Slim curve-hugging armor on sisters of battle makes perfect sense. It's a universe run by a hyper religious cult, and the army in question is all female and very proud of this, as it's historically an enormous part of their identity.

Armor in 40k is not just about practicality, either - religious dogma demands it be ornate, and a display of faith and beauty as much as actually work. FFS they stick scripture parchments all over themselves. There are units which beat themselves with scourges.

You are a special kind of stupid if you think all armor must look practical in 40k.

Yeah, already confirmed that Red Scrops still use some legion-era stuff, like Kharybdis Assault Claws and a few older dreads, and that the book will include ways to take that stuff in normal Space Marine lists.

Tau will get new Tigersharks, along with official rules for the Supremacy Armor, The R'Varna, the Y'varha, and the new barracuda. Hopefully will include rebalanced rules for Hazard suits, as well as the experimental crisis rigs, Rhymer, and Orly, There's rumor of a new super-heavy Tau tank, and I'm hoping for a gue'vesa or kroot list similar to the R&H list.

AdMech will get scorn and derision, as befits them. Just kidding, there will probably be rules to take a lot of their HH stuff, too, like the super canon and the flyer.

>>50997998
>I feel like we need an artist's opinion on this

The current look of Sisters is ok, its what Jes Goodwin has designed them to be and while some elements are obviously sexual (corsets, boobplates, BIG FAT ASSES) they are not sexualized, its not like they are Infinity's pin up stuff which has less sexy themes but are more sexualized in their proportions and poses. Their current look is iconic at this point, it encapsulates 40k's gothic and over the top characteristics while remaining fairly unique.

Im not sure why everyone's jumping the gun now and declaring SoB to be super sexual sluts or something, they've never been 'sexy' just had sexy related things in their armor, the models are made to be attractive as a model not as a woman and they are made this way so everyone can look at the model and say 'ah thats a sister of battle and not some random dude in effeminate power armor'.

Ugh. I really hope they have anything else up there sleeve for the Templars. Having a formaton with Cadians just seems weird, even fluff-wise, since BTs usually see normal people as barely worthy of being human and it took Grimaldus a ton of effort and command power to get his detachment on Armageddon to properly respect the local troops. The only person present on Cadia that I could imagine having enough influence on the Templars to get them to fight hand-in-hand as equals with the Guard would maybe be Celestine, though she'll most likely arrive mid-engagement anyway.

Full agreement. I have 20 Kasrkins and 8 Ratlings and I love them. I actually cut off the barrels on the Kasrkin models so they are kind of snub nose looking, like the Alien's Pulse Rifles. I love it. I really am happy with Bullgryns too, because just seeing it all together is great. The 2 kinds of fieldable abhumans and super operator humans mixed in.

>>50997819
Tau are desperate allies to Orks and SM. Orks, SM, and Tau all treat each other as "enemies" for the purposes of targeting and joining units. They can't move within 1" of each other.

Further more, if a Tau, Ork, or Space Marine unit is within 6" of another "allied" faction, they have 1 in 6 chance of not being able to do anything.

Further more, The Orks and Space Marines cannot be deployed within 12" of each other. Pretty sure this includes infiltrate and deep strike.

So as long as you plan on keeping them all away from each other, sure, they can ally.

Most people let me count my Guard as AoC to Tau, though, since I've converted them to gue'vesa.

>>50998583
Thanks. It seems like you have a good opinion on things too. They definitely look highly trained and badass. I don't meta game no, but I do sometimes mix in highly optimized units so I can also field more fun and less strong units. Making a fun list is great, but getting stomped hard ruins that fun. I like a healthy balance of overpriced rule of cool units and effective ones.

Catachans are definitely good for looking like they have Forward Sentries. I am currently using a bunch of Catachans as Conscripts rules wise, but in my own fluff, they are prisoners. So I've painted their clothing orange and what not. As Veterans right now, I really like the idea of them with shotguns, so I've taken Marine Scout bodies with shotties, used the beret Scion heads and then mixed in some special weapons from the AM Command Squad sprue. Then I gave them the Demolitions and Grenadiers upgrade. Lots of fun. Even though they are bad in close combat, I like the idea of them being a bum rushing squad, spamming shotguns, explosions and melta.

I also made a count as Straken using various parts from the AM Command Squad sprue and the Scion sprues. I'm hyped to run Bullgryn, Priests, Conscript blob, Infantry blob, and Primaris Psykers. And of course, the Kasrkin bros as Scion count as. I really like the Taurox Prime model too. It's got great weapons in addition to looking really cute and fun. My next endeavour involves orbital striking Yarrick with Karamazov while Yarrick is close to vehicles or in close combat.

>>50998658
So there's like no penalties at all for combining units that are rated as Battle Brothers then?

That might be the push I need to start collecting figures. I like various chapters of Space Marines, including the Blood Angels, Deathwatch and Grey Knights, having Imperial Knights and Inquisition be able to pop up would be neat too, or Sisters of Battle if I ever hated my wallet enough to try and build a force of them. And Imperial Guard has some cool toys.

So if I get a bunch of armies rated as Battle Brothers to each other I could kind of mix and match them in a way as long as I keep proper detachment structures and such?

That coupled with a squad of older Terminators and a couple of Rhinos I picked up means I'm well on my way to a pretty decent SM army.

First of all, I gotta say it, I hate the taurox. It just looks like something that could be pushed over. Rulewise and in regards to loadout, it's great, but I would have preferred a distinct and custom chimera chassis.

My guard army is what you would expect, infantry, Leman Russ, Chimera, Kasrkins etc painted as generic Cadians.

However, recently I've been leaning a lot more towards Kill Team via HoR. So I packed most of my Guardsmen into a box and started anew. I kept out a commander, some cadians and some storm troopers with catachans as the aforementioned forward sentries. So everything is rather stock, I only had my first match yesterday. But the further we get into our campaign, the more units will be changing. I'll try and remember to post updates here and you can look out for them, but for now I need some sleep!

The optimum would be some formation allowing you to mix-and-match the units of all 3 forces how you see fit, enabling you to play a single army, two or even all of them. Just give the formation some generic rule that fits all armies and a few restrictions and it'd be done.

>>50998740
Here is the problem. For quite a few women, sexuality is connected to their power fantasies. So for a lot of women Lady Death looks like the ideal of a powerful female character. She can dress how she wants, flaunt what she wants, fight and be as powerful as she wants. Red Sonia is the same ideal that power is sexy, and being powerful and being sexy are connected.

That's why I was saying they need to ask the community and do market research. Find out if it's time to switch how their sisters of battle dress or keep them the same. Because they need to get a few women in the art department to review the design, and put in their thoughts on it.

>>50998914

Just about every woman I know interested in 40k finds Brienne of Tarth more empowering than Red Sonja

>>50998978
So, you know zero women interested in 40k?? Or is that zero women at all?

>>50998945
Fuck "empowerment"
This franchise was created by and for men.
Women are fucking miserable because everyone is screaming at them that they should be men or they're it means they're bad people.

>>50998914
I find this annoying too. Having a Bolter for the Sergeant is pretty comfy, but not benefiting from First Rank Second Rank is also annoying. Plus when you have a lot of Infantry Squads and other leaders with Bolters or Bolt Pistols, it adds up.

Personally I find it easier to get a Bolt Pistol for modeling purposes, so if I add anything, I add that. Also another thing I am bothered by is how expensive Power Weapons are for Guard. Shit should be like 10 points for the Sergeants.

>>50998978
>>50998945
Every single woman I know that collects 40k either chose Dark Eldar or Tyranids, and none of them have any interest in playing the game itself. They just like the painting part really.

In regards to fluff and the Templars thoughts on normal humans, remember that the fluff has changed for the BT since the Helsreach novel released. The Templars now worship the Emperor like the common man of the Imperium (which I personally don't mind, I mean, they were already Teutonic knights IN SPACE).

I wouldn't mind if the BT were made more accepting of, and even encouraging, normal humans to fight alongside them. They're extremely zealouslous and would appreciate zeal shown by anyone, be they a space Marine or a normal human.

I like the idea of Templars fighting alongside Guardsmen, being impressed by their valor, and then insisting they accompany them on a crusade, much to the Guard's unease.

>"ACCOMPANY US ON A CRUSADE FELLOW WARRIORS OF THE EMPEROR, YOU HAVE SHOWN GREAT COURAGE AND ZEAL."

>"ehh, we have our duties in the Guard though"

>"THAT MATTERS NOT, ALL THAT MATTERS IS ZEAL"

>"Well, what's the goal of this crusade anyway?"

From a business standpoint though, it can't stay that way. It needs to broaden the base of people they can sell to. That means exploring and gaining access to a new market.

Hey guys, what colour is old GW rotting flesh in new GW paints?

>>50999093
Sure it can. Companies don't HAVE to sell to everyone.

>>50999087
Not him, but your post makes a sweeping generalization that bikini armor is a desirable power fantasy for women, when general sentiment seems to be to the contrary.

>>50999087
he's saying both of us really don't know anything and are just guessing. Which I'll admit my thoughts come from talking to women between the ages of 30-65 so...there is also likely a shift in thoughts.

Is it cringy if I want my Orks to mostly be Bloodaxes and paint the vehicles and walkers in camouflage?

Wrong again. That's not me. I suggested that you don't know any women in general. Which was supposed to highlight how stupid your previous post makes you sounds. Turns out that you don't need any help with that... Good work.

Gonna pitch in on the bikini armour autism.

I like the sisters with corset power armour, i think it really fits their theme. I wouldn't mind something a bit less sexualised and more practical but it's fucking 40k so who cares.

What I don't want is space marine looking biches. Fuck that, I want them to look like women.

>>50998817
Yeah, I think the issue is we've mostly been playing on pretty open terrain with not much in the way of LoS blocking terrain. So turn 1 and 2 is just markerlight guided missile salvos obliterating my Skitarii and Kataphrons.

Holy shit you fucking faggots stop choking on his bait it got old several threads ago. The man is playing you all for (You)s and you literally cannot stop sucking his cock.

>>50999111
Companies that like money have to sell to a broad audience. Back when they started out selling to only men was okay because their were more people willing to get into the hobby. Video Games hadn't taken off yet. So the competition for the consumer's dollar or pound was lower. Plus when the started they were pretty much the ONLY fantasy miniatures game around. Then the primer Sci-Fi game. They had a monopoly.

Now they are facing greater competition, their competitors have good games and products and are challenging their market share. They have to consider broadening their customer base and penetration into new markets to fuel growth.

In sales stagnation = death. A company that cannot compete will fall by the wayside and be swept away.

Do Eldar ever have fun?

They don't have to enter nubile, quivering markets but since they're a publicly traded company beholden to their shareholders they are required to do their best to grow their profits or enact plans that will grow their profits in the future.

It seems like GW has been more focused on getting previous customers back (notice the big PR push from their community team leveraging Duncan et al., love for armies previously ignored), selling people into new armies through self-contained box sets which are ostensibly board games but really just have sweet deals on the models included (Calth/Prospero, Overkill, etc.), liquidating old inventory (AoBR repackaged into Vedros, old Knight sprues into Renegade), and getting back into Specialist Games (Blood Bowl, Adeptus Titanicus, and they name dropped BFG in the original announcement that Specialist Games is back).

Hey guys, been inspired recently from these threads to get back into painting.

Just wanted to grab some opinions/feedback on my marines and the way I painted them. I wanted to go for silver marines with sort of a green tinge (meant to be a glowing green aura), with darker green shoulder pads and dark joints. Been awhile since I've painted so thought I'd ask for some help, cheers

(The guy on the left is a test scheme I thought I'd do juts to test out some different themes with the same colours I used.)

Hey guys, I'm probably going to need a bunch of Imperial Psykers, how the hell do I get variety, it's all just one model.

>>50999359
Exactly. So we shall see. Likely they may want to shift to try to bring in more players down the road in a few years.

>>50999455
Paladin is the best allrounder, Crusader is usually the most useful but also the most expensive, Gallant is the most MANLY though, and if you do FW the Acheron is pretty cheesy and the Lancer will rape rival superheavies.

Which Job Loyalist? You have tank busters, Troops busters, and long range artillery. Plus you have some that pack 2 heavy guns and no destroyer melee weapon. It all depends on what you want your knight to get done.

>>50999512
Isn't the reason for the thickness a quilted piece of cloth wrapped around the waist? When you consider that, she has a pretty slim waist.

>>50999506
I think I might just get an all-rounder, how are the melee weapons on them? Is it worth getting a melee on it or go all big dick guns?

>>50999519
I dunno, probably the coolest looking guns

since chaos is an elite army with a focus on close combat I'll probably want a shooty knight as fire-support

>>50999556
The melee weapons are strength D, though it's less powerful than you might remember it. They are guaranteed to remove anything short of another superheavy or ubercharacter in a single round, but it's usually overkill. Doesn't deal with hordes any better, but superheavy walkers get Stomp, which allows them to drop some small blasts on the table as they literally walk all over their opponent.

As a result Knights are fucking nasty in melee and durable enough to get there too. Sword and gun Knights are absolutely viable, it's just that their guns are so good you can get away with and may well prefer a Knight that dualwields.

Huh...I didn't think about that I was going to go with A thermal cannon, Missile launcher, and a Chainsword. Since the thermal Cannon is a large blast S9 Melta with a 36 inch range I figure it helps solve my anti-tank issue that my army had last game.

Of course my list now ditched the Autocannon Havocks for Missile launcher ones. Switches out the Lord's and Bike Champs load outs so both of them have lightning claws and combo Melta.
Then I gave the leader of my Termies a combo melta. Then I added a Raptor Squad Leader has LC + Combi-Melta. So maybe I fixed my tank problem and I don't need to focus on that as much?.

I lost last time because my S7 shooting choices couldn't take down all the wave serpents.
