Tenth for Abby stabbing himself with his own sword in this month's WD!

Hail to the armless!

Went with Death Guard as my first army. Currently got a Vectorium with 2 Plasma CSM squads, Raptors with melta, Auto Havocs, a Termicide squad and 1 spawn as auxiliary. Clocks in at 900 points.
What do i equip the Lord with, and which squad should he join?

I wrote a Death Guard List. Aka "Fuck Obsec".

++Purge Detachment++
-Chaos Lord w/ Mark of Nurgle on Bike, w/ Power Fist, Lightning Claw & Sigil of Corruption - 165
2x 5 Chosen w/ Mark of Nurgle & 4 Plasma Guns - 165 x 2 = 330
2x 5 Havocs w/ Mark of Nurgle & 4 Missile Launchers - 150
5 Havocs w/ Mark of Nurgle & 4 Autocannons - 130

Total: 925

Take a 2nd identical detachment and it's 1850 on the dot.

No obsec, but you only care about blowing up the enemy. Advance forth and make your foe regret the myth that Chaos is a close combat army.

So...I re-read through Siege of Vraks. You know the Purge detachment? You can only take the Mark of Nurgle, but you can take any "Daemon of" unit.

This is technically a legal Thousand Sons detachment. Add Daemon allies, Heavy Support, etc to flavor.

++Purge Detachment++
Magnus - 650
Daemon Prince of Tzeentch with Wings and Armor - 220
Helbrute - 100
Helbrute - 100

Thanks to Forgeworld rule oversights, you can run Magnus in a Thousand Sons detachment that doesn't include a single model with the Mark of Tzeentch. Sadly, this is probably a more effective way to run him.

>>51055982
Why would you make it a purge detachment though?

guys... i have a serious question

Is the plastic on GW models poisonous? Ive been chewing off the extra plastic on the sprue because its easier then using a nail file and i may have swallowed some.

Potential new player here. I have been thinking of getting into 40k, but it sounds like there may be a strong possibility of a significant rules rework coming up later in the year. Should I just chill out until then?

Then again, I'm more interested in getting into painting and constructing the models than I am in actually playing the game, so maybe it doesn't matter. That new Celestine model looks cool, is there any chance that it would stop being made super quick? I would definitely want one of those once I become confident in painting the models.

Look its a tremulous time in warhammer right now.

On the one hand a few armies could be seeing reworks with new models and on the other hand we could just be getting new models for every army and very little change.

I just went for it because i love the hobby and if things change they change. Currently have a Deldar force and starting a night lords force and thats been going on for a few months now. Just pick the models that you know you are going to enjoy and don't worry about the huge rule rework

Are Warp Talons worth it? with a raptor talon of course, they just cost a lot of points and im not sure if the deep strike is worth it, even if they can assault on the same turn.

Also im starting a night lords force and trying to figure out if i want to go with the raptor talon or the Chaos Warband detachment.

Do a lot of armies have fearless units? would it be better just to get a well rounded force?

>>51056332
EC short for emperor children, yes?
I think the joke is you called the Chaos marine squad tacticals.

In all seriousness it's hard to know what to equip them with because Slaanesh gives them a combat focused buff but no real way to get there.
I would equip them with close ranged weapons like meltas and and extra close combat weapons and drive them up the field ASAP, if you get counter charged you will hit the average unit first because of I5 and if you survive their shooting you can also shoot and charge them yourself.

Power weapons aren't worth it on 1 wound champions, equip them with high strength, low ap2 weapons to take on hard targets and then charge to clean up soft targets with your melee attacks.

>>51055864

Yes.

Fearless is prevalent only because marines are prevalent.

Unfortunately, fear isn't that helpful against non-fearless armies. Furthermore, Warp Talons are locked into lightning claws, so they're forced to be MEQ blenders regardless.

Blind is okay.

Basically it depends on your meta.

>>51056527

Depends what you mean.

>Successor chapter
Using parent chapter's rules is the logical thing to do in almost every case

>Using any rules you want for your custom fluff chapter

Go ahead m8, literally will never be bad imo even if you pick the WAAC-faggiest tactics, so long as they actually fit your fluff.

>Using a different chapter's rules when the chapter your models are painted as has its own rules

This seems pretty WAAC-faggy to me. Possible exception if you're a successor with really terrible FW rules and you'd rather use the original founding chapter's rules.

tl;dr I think it could make you a bit of a dick if you do it for bad reasons

>>51056527
Kinda depends on the legion.
Some of them are still relatively intact and have a unified paint scheme/look (fx Word bearers) while others are horribly fragmented so you can get away with painting them like whatever (Emperor's Children)

For loyalists, unless the chapter doesnt have a personal chapter tactic, i'd look at you weird, but still play.

>>51056527
kinda

If you're using ultramarines and going "no really my guys are using white scars chapter tactics" people will give you the stink eye. Same goes for night lords who "just happen to be nurgle worshippers and using death guard rules".

Like, that's what custom chapters/warbands are for.

>>51056512
I don't really see the need for the Goliath Trucks. Your Acolytes are going to be pitching Demo charges out the backs of their vehicles rather than charging, so you might as well shove them in the Rockgrinders and drop the trucks. That would free up 300 points, which you could invest in a fairly bare-bones Subterranean Uprising - a Primus (which would also give you a proper Warlord), 5 Metamorphs with claws or whips, and two units of 10 Acolytes with Icons.

Im the anon who was asking the Baal Pred questions from the last thread. What are some essential units I should have in a Blood Angels army built for FAAC? I have a Stormraven, the Death Company Strike force set (15 DC marines, DC Chaplain, and a DC dreadnought.) Also have the BA starter set with the 10 man tatical squad, a Baal pred and a Terminator Captain. Also have. Astorath and planning on getting Mephiston.

>>51056508
why would someone release plastic models before throwing the faction out of an airplane ?

>>51056648

>>51056630
So from there I would pick up a squad of terminators for your captain to hang out with and then pick up angels blade and pick some formations from there to build towards. I would recommend the terminator one that lets you assault turn 1 but that mostly comes down to personal preference.

>>51056647
I am inclined to say yes. When I play daemons I try to keep my warlord under 300 points and only run 1 model at that points level.

I can fit one Heavy Support option at 200 points or less. Right now, it's triple Basilisk. Is there a better option? I already have no issues with infantry or light armor from the main body of my forces, and I have a Baneblade as a centerpiece, but I'm otherwise lacking in anti armor ability.

>>51056693

Thanks, was going to get a second tact squad. Also I do have a bike squad, just looking for some wing parts from the Raven Wing bike squads cause they would look nice for BA bikes.

Half the joke is the list has no characters in it.

The Goliaths get to Infiltrate or Outflank with the Acolytes, and they get Tank Hunter on their TL Autocannons. They're basically budget razorbacks.

The Rockgrinders are mostly budget hellhounds. I might turn the remaining 2 into Clearance Incinerator ones just for cohesion, drop dozer blades from the Russes, and give them Hull Lascannons instead, because fuck it, Geneblower is a hilarious idea.

GUO seems fine but the prince is getting too pricey.

ML3, one greater gift and wings is all I use on mine. Roll on biomancy/nurgle for toughness buffs instead of buying armour.

What's actually better for Night Lords? Traitor Legions or Astartes Legions (30k)?

Trying to learn the rules. One thing I don't understand.

From what I'm reading, creating a new squad doesn't cost additional points. For example, one squad of 8 Fire Warriors costs exactly the same as two squads of 4 Fire Warriors.

Why would I ever choose the single bigger squad? By dividing into two squads, I have more leniency with squad cohesion, can split my fire between two targets if I want to, I force my opponent to use an extra attack to wipe out the same number of models, and so on.

I know that some specific upgrades work better with larger squads, but those seem like specific exceptions. Am I missing something, or am I right in thinking your squads should be as small as possible?

>>51056421
1/3 Warp Talons in the formation should be fine. Even without charge bonuses they should kill 1 marine each in a turn

Morale checks are harder to cause to big units and they are harder to wipe out completely.

Also most of the missions award killpoints for killed units.

In the end, MSU (Multiple Small Units) is a very good tactic and if you could make those small units durable enough *cough*Riptide*cough*, killpoints is not a great concern.

>>51057195
Because it feels bad If I win because we played the rules wrong.

>>51057067

Generally, having more, smaller squads is the norm and is what is preferred. This is called MSU (Multiple Small Units). However, there are a couple situations where you would want larger units.

1. You take more firepower to wipe out or be forced to permanently flee. If you have a minimum squad of Fire Warriors, they would die to shooting that kills 4 FW. But if you had 8 FW, you'd still be alive and still holding that objective for points. However this works the other way around. The game is so powerful at the moment that most shooting can kill all 8 FW anyway, so it's better to just limit the amount of models they can kill to 4 by taking a minimum sized squad.

2. You are limited in army slots and can only fit one squad of that type because your other slots are filled with other units.

3. You are poor and can't afford to buy a transport for an additional squad so it's better for one larger squad to ride in the transport you do own (irrelevant for Tau because lol Devilfish).

>>51057142
>Morale checks are harder to cause to big units and they are harder to wipe out completely.
Well, morale checks aren't a thing in one-model squads.
If your squad is big enough where adding a few models realistically changes those odds, then they probably aren't tanking any shots anyways. I've watched a battle reports, and almost every infantry squad for most factions will lose 3-6 models minimum every time they're fired on. When half your squad wipes on a breeze, you're going to be rolling morale no matter how big it is.

Kill points and first blood (I've seen videos with that?) are very good points, though.

That doesn't necessarily mean assembled - it is a good idea to prime SM/CSM legs and torsos separate from heads and arms/weapons, to make sure that you get an even coverage. That being said, you should always make sure that any gaps are filled, mouldlines removed, etc. It should look as it should painted, only without there being any paint on it. Got it?

What cases does /tg/ use for their models? I don't really like the GW hard shells, I've been looking at Battle Foam and Table Wars - but I'm curious if anyone has any other suggestions.

So when I field my daemons I field MSU generally. So my lists tend to bring full CADs of minimum sized units with preference towards tzeentch units overall but mixing in Slaanesh and Khorne for Heavy support and nurgle elites.

For competitive play I bring a full Decurion of Pink horrors and with three Soul Grinder formation as my auxiliary and bring the heralds formation from the wrath of magnus to fill points.

So I haven't built an Imperial kit that has smoke launchers yet, but if the actual fit and finish of the kit is so bad that you're going to have huge gaps like that no matter what, you guys are assholes for ragging on him. He might not have green stuff or plastic putty to fill it with. I know when I first encountered a gap that wasn't my fault it was a pain.

Is there a good way to indicate which unit is in which transport? It looks so silly to have a marine surfing on top of a rhino

While I agree in part that GW should remake their old moulds to remove fearsome problems such as the smoke launchers, it's well established to even beginners that you might need to fill in gaps that might appear. If you've earned the criticism of people who know better, you only have yourself to blame.

That's what people usually do. If you wanted to not have to do this and still be able to identify transports, you should paint the markings on them properly. The Veteran Rhinos should have the veteran 1st company color scheme, squad #2's Rhino should have the same markings and 2 symbols as the squad, etc.

My whole idea for an army is that I have (or rather will - I'm working on them) some stuff as pure Black Legion, some stuff painted BL, but with clear Nurgle conversions, some marines with CCWs painted as BL, but with one shoulder pad red. Basically universtal stuff, like Raptors, Rhinos and Havocs would be clearly BL, while some marines, bikers and a lord would be nurgly BL, and some marines and a lord on a juggy would be khorney BL. Would it be fine with you Anons if I were to run the force as BL/DG/WE interchangeably (ofc themeing with god-aligned units, when using DG/WE)?

Why do people ask this

i have what may be a stupid question

so looking at the Traitor Legions book, looking at Death Guard, building a Vectorium.....

I must build 1 core and 1 aux, i am able to have up to 4 command, and any number of additional core or aux......okay check. I totally understand.

why is the command formation red? you get the command benefits for death guard just for running the vectorium, not running the command formation.....so if I have a sorcerer and i run him in the chaos warband he gets obsec....but if i run him as command he doesnt?

can someone help me out here I dont know if there is any special rules for the command formation or why it is red.


oh and does the spawn formation not have any formation benefit? I dont know where the datasheet for the formation is, like what book it is in. it is not in traitors hate or traitor legions books

>>51058119
Imo
>Paint them however you like (they're your dudes)

You're done.

Where do you guys nick your paints and tools from? I'm making a list of all the paints I need and it's shooting into about 15. Is that sorta normal? I'm trying to keep it simple and listen to Duncan. Base, layer, wash, highlight. It just seems like an awful lot. I'd like to stick to Citadel paint though. So far ebay seems to do a '10 paints for $44' deal as the cheapest. And then '5 for $24'.

On tools, like brushes and shit, basically anything works right? I can just run to Walmart and get plastic glue, clippers, and brushes, aye?

>>51058165

For plastic glue get GW its specifically designed for the plastic they use.

>>51058165

>>51058165
clippers yes, brushes no

>>51057823
harridans are the best units in the game nigga. also giant flying dragons are hype

>>51058165
get brushes for cheap from the pepes @ hobby lobby or michaels.

you can do MUCH better, but they are decent for cheap....if that matters

>>51058199
Yeah that's what I'm considering but then I still need around 10 more paints. And those are the tiny bottles, right? >>51058211
Yeah, I can't use the flimsy ones for actual painting. They gotta be stiffer. I figured that. I'm next to a Michael's though so they should have model brushes right?

>>51057949
Mediocre at best, they relay on 3 suits to work the rest are overpriced GE, fast attack is a joke and heavy support only have a single good option that's the broadside suit, they rest is garbage, the troops are meh just roll with bare minimum normal fire warriors, they had some good formations but they're like 3 and they use the only 3 useful suits, riptide, ghostkeel and storm surge, surely GW is making half added work with Tau recently, let's hope they get some love soon, too many imperial armies lately.

>>51058180
gud goy

>>51058165

Tools you can buy from anywhere. Get clippers to cut parts out of the sprue. Get small clippers because some parts are really small and it is easier and more precise to cut them off.

Unlike anon here claims >>51058180
it is not necessary imo to buy the Citadel glue. You can if you want to. I myself have bunch of different glues for different purposes, but since you're a beginner, you can buy just one. Revell's plastic glue for example is very good, quite cheap and lasts for ages. Or just go with some cheap Walmart glue, will probably work as well. Also since you're a beginner, you can start with low quality brushes, but I'd recommend you investing some money in them. Don't buy the absolutely cheapest pack, most likely they will be so badly made that painting with them will be a pain in the ass. For miniature painting having a good tip on the brush is the most important thing. Also it is important that the "base" of the brush is able to hold some paint.

>>51058119

Are you retarded? First, stop using redpill as a verb, it sounds stupid and the meme is stupid. Second, why are you even painting your models at all if you don't find it extremely appealing to pick a specific coherent scheme or chapter? It's like asking if modding your car is autistic or not after buying a bunch of racing decals and aftermarket mods.

It's specifically designed to be as non-toxic as possible so they can legally sell it to kids without needing parental approval. No joke, they had to change the formula a couple of years back.

As a result it sucks compared to proper hobby glues made for plastic, such as Revell Contacta Professional.

>>51058356
Hm that's a pretty good deal since I'm betting those are very similar to the 'base paints' that citadel uses. I'm a little scared to mix my own colors and the like for the other shades but I suppose nothings stopping me from getting ArmyPainter and Citadel stuff. Plus I hear their brushes are pretty decent.

>>51058409
duncan doesn't care aslong you thin your paints

>>51058458
I don't think GW themselves decide what list they bring. Up to the individuals.

>>51057704

Well, basically anything associated with magic of any stripe is warp-associated unless it's specifically technology like the Necrons. Admech are a bit of both because apparently some of their tech can actually fuck with the warp accidentally. Or on purpose. I mean they were able to mix chemicals to create sentient, horrifying, malevolent fire, so there's that.

Anyway, so Saintly powers are a manifestation of faith so strong it bends the world around it to better suit that faith, and also I guess channel the Emperor or something. Celestine is a psychic sledgehammer on the Immaterium in that regard. Likewise, Sorcery is rules-lawyering the Immaterium while the Immaterium rules-lawyers back, and regular old psykers are just psychics using their mind to bend it to their will, with all the risk of backlash. Then there's the Rune magic the Space Wolves which also operates by different means which aren't really ever elaborated on before spirit wolves start spurting from the ground like geysers.

only the imperial guard know about space marines but even then a typical guardsman will never lay eyes on a space marine

cheap wargear that doesnt really change the outcome of what your opponent is going to do or effect their actual playstyle, those are totally interchangable between each game. no one expects you to have 12 different sgts for each squad for each conceivable layout of your sgt.

normal ppl are like power weapon, powerfist, plasma pistol, or combi-something......those are all anyone that isnt a complete autist gives a shit about. no normal well adjusted person is gonna be like wait wait wait....i dont see a meltabomb on that guy so long as you say all sgts have meltabombs.

hell most ppl assume that ALL sgts are gonna have a melta bomb.

>>51058642
>without ever hearing

You mean seeing. Only people that don't even hear about the Emperor, and they do exist in small amounts, wouldn't have heard of the Emperor's avenging angels of death. That's why there's a lot of stories about people being in awe when they first see a marine, but they did at least know of them beforehand.

>>51058642

>space marines aren't common knowledge

I thought most people knew about the Emperor's holy angels. Not anything about them specifically, but that they exist.

>>51055762

Between the Start Collecting boxes and the Armored Assault kits building an army is cheaper now than it's been in a long time.

The problem with IG is that it's a horde army, so you're going to have to spend a shitload of money to get a decent amount of points.

If you're poor, go Space Marines. Their point costs are higher and they have a shitload of kits and bundles and boxed games, and as a side bonus fucking everyone has Space Marines lying around so it's easy to find cheap used stuff if that's your bag.

I use citadel paints because they're easy access and a wide range, but Tamiya paints have also worked well for me. I use Model Master glue because one little bottle has lasted me for almost four years, and I use the old citadel tools before they upgraded

>>51058660
No. I mean hearing.

If you're a typical run of the mill peasant you will live and die on one planet and you will never hear about space marines ever

You're both stupid and should shutup. When WYSIWYG was actually in the rulebook, grenades were explicitly exempt, so you can stop having this pointless discussion about melta bombs because it's irrelevant either way.

>>51058575
If we're going by common knowledge, the average citizen doesn't know how the Astronomicon works, that it's psychic, that the Emperor is psychic, that the Navigators are psychic or much about the Warp beyond 'it's hell, there's Daemons in there and my old Administratum buddy told me it's where the Psykers get their power from.'

>>51058664
>I thought most people knew about the Emperor's holy angels. Not anything about them specifically, but that they exist.

They MIGHT, might hear about myths, but that depends on whatever their priests preach

>>51055864
It's not exactly fluffy, but an optimal Death Guard Lord should have a Bike and a Sigil. Then give him either just a Power Fist or Power Fist / Lightning Claw. Usually he going in some Bikers, but you could run him with the Raptors for now. DG Bikers are really strong if somewhat out of character for their original legion fluff.

T6 is just really, really strong for a multiwound model with FNP. Always getting FNP rolls and only suffering 1 wound regardless of strength means you can run into Walkers and similar high strength monsters without fear. You'll only watch out for force weapons and similar explicitly instant death shenanigans (Assuming you don't roll EW for warlord trait).

>>51058683

Even feudal worlds and agri worlds will have that knowledge. You're talking about things like prehistoric death worlds where the governor doesn't even live on planet and those are not the majority. It's like you've never even read that series of BT comics where the medieval ass peasant and his stupid leather cap thought orks were demons.

Go for it. There's nothing magical about GW's standard colors. As long as you're sticking to Acrylics designed for miniatures you'll be fine. Most people use GW's stuff out of availability and familiarity more than anything else. And most of the best painters pick and chose their favorite paints from lots of different paint lines.

>>51058758
It's a bit rich. But fuck me, I'd rather hear that than "We're a model company, not a game company".

>>51058409

For beginner AP is better in some ways, you don't need to thin them down as much as Citadel's paints. In some cases you don't even need to thin them at all.

Sometimes my AP paints aren't as watery as the ones in Rob's video for some reason. They were as thick as Vallejo paints. The previous bottle of the exact same color I got was thinner though I don't know what's up with that. The black was very thin though.

>>51056527
Of course not. You shouldn't have to drop thousands of dollars just so you can make sure all your little toy soldiers have the right guns and colour schemes. Use whatever rules you want and don't play agaisnt ass blasted man children

>>51058872

You can, assuming that you want your color scheme to be from the paints that are included in that box of course.

Well, following your line of posts on this thread you obviously isn't looking for C&C. Yet you still posted a picture on all the cool stuff you did on him, looking for a reply I imagine?

Well, heres some;

First up, accept the C&C given. Its not always nice, and its often the stuff you yourself thought "it doesn't show that much". Just deal with it!

Second, Yes, fix the fucking gaps and mold lines. No bitching, no "Nuhu" no replying back as a fucking autistic 5 year old. Just say "Yea, its still not finished yet, Ill get right on it!", no need to be a douche about it.

Third pointer. I'm no personal fan of the "real" battle damage, Id prefer it when its mostly painted on. But you have done it your way so Ill give the tips I can. When doing damage and weathering, always ask "how did it get there?" before applying the effect you're looking for. For instance, what created the .. well the weathering on his scripture? It just looks filed down to be honest, and you risk letting it just look sloppy if you paint it up now. Not to mention the small bits and debris that might fall of after painting, it will make it look unfinished.
And I think less is more. It will be nice to see what you come up with anon, and how he will look finished. Looking forward to seeing your progress in WIP.

Edge can be done in a cool manner. See Emperor's Children/World Eaters.

Word Bearers claim to be the most faithful of the Legions yet they spend more time building temples than actually spreading the Word of Chaos.

Well, a couple of the base paints and the ink washes are definitely going to be used. I'm going with a Metalica color scheme for my Skitarii so at least it's not super complex.

That and the tools I think are definitely a good diving board to get started, huh?

>>51058948

They are, the only thing you lack is a primer. Unless you have it already.

>>51055697

Not sure if I'm being retarded, but I can't see the current Marines codex epub in the mega.

Raging heroes released a model that had doves exactly like that, and is quite a lovely model. So gw took that idea because they're trying to squash competition.

Those are second edition Space Marines. They're really old. Not really worth anything except to have a few as a novelty.

Newer Space Marines are much more detailed and are fairly poseable.

If you're really thinking about getting into 40K I'd suggest finding which friendly local game store (FLGS) in your area has 40K games, then stop by and ask if you can spectate some of them. Alternately, watch some Battle Reports on jewtube.

40K is a bit of an expensive hobby, but now is a really good time to get into it on account of all of the bundles, starter kits, and box sets that are being released. Basically you can grab a Start Collecting! box for any faction for $85 and have a very small but still fieldable army that is a good start toward a fullblown army.

Alternately you could grab the Battle for Vedros starter kit and get a small Space Marine and Ork army for $50 if you don't mind the fact that the models are all push fit and aren't customizable.

Also, take most of what /40kg/ says with a grain of salt, most players are not as hostile and autistic as the people in this general.

If you're interested in the universe/lore of 40K but are a poorfag or don't want to assemble and paint a shitload of minis you can also check out the tons of novels or videogames set in the 40k franchise.

>>51057403
Underrated kek

>>51058997

No, be sure to not buy any cheap craft store primer before reading up on it. I have both shitty primers and good primers. And as much as haters are going to hate on me right now, I really recommend GW and (and there an "and", remember that!) Army painter.

>>51059084
The SM codex says they don't follow the codex though.

Either there's something I'm not getting or that's a bad cast.

>>51059131
I've read that automotive primers work pretty well? How do non-spray primers compare usually?

>>51058997

Well that is something people in this hobby disagree about quite heavily. Some use just the spray paints done by modeling companies, some use cheap regular sprays. Personally I at least would stay away from the stuff that is meant for like cars and shit. If you fuck up with those, it's basically impossible to strip it off from the minis. I'm not American so I don't know which of the Krylon sprays are good for minis and which aren't, sorry. I think they're sold in my country as well but here Maston is the more common brand.

Do the traitor legions have gene seed flaws in the same way the loyalist ones do, or is their collective flaw "followed their giant dads over to chaos?"

>>51059146
>A Second Founding successor Chapter to the Imperial Fists, the Black Templars have always fought to uphold the honour of the Emperor, and of Dorn. However, their first High Marshal, Sigismund, was distrustful of the Codex Astartes, believing it a slight against his Primarch’s teachings. Thus his Chapter has ever been divergent from Guilliman’s Codex, a trait that has become more pronounced as the millennia have ground past.

Thanks for the actual advice and criticism anon. I'm currently trying to go for the effect of a dreadnought suffering battle damage from two major sources. The first being glancing hits from Havoc Autocannons, which do a couple of different things depending on the armour depending on whether or not they penetrate, bounce, or gouge, which is largely a factor of angle and density.

On the flat plate on his shoulder, I put an impact crater for what would have been a solid hit that didn't penetrate(deforms the plate considerably). So he would have taken a direct hit from a couple of autocannons on that spot, but none of them successfully penetrated.

His shoulderpads and sarcophagus have glancing blows on the various joints, although most of the damage is just destroying trimwork. I figure his lettering on his armour poses a strong weakspot in the plating, and just gets naturally destroyed by shrapnel if it's not maintained... My own chapter(Raptors) isn't the kind of people that overly favor bling, so they don't want to maintain the 'pointless' engravings that the dreadnought had to begin with.

Post-painting my plan for most of the battle damage is to first paint the model normally, like I do for the rest of my stuff. And then I'm going to go over all of the chipped parts with a 6b Artist Pencil to fill them in with graphite, which should give the impression of the exposed bare metal underneath all of the damage. For his destroyed eye socket, my plan is to paint up the socket with Soulstone Blue, but the damaged socket will receive two 'thinned' coats of nuln oil gloss, followed by very gentle taps of 4H Graphite.

Fluff-wise the Crons have been castrated and ironically made very boring in an effort to diversify them

It's like some diversity quota shit

>>51059131

GW sprays are fine but the problem is they're not actual primers. They're just regular spraypaint meant for providing a basecoat color on top of actual primer. Army Painter is two in one, colored basecoat and primer.

7th ed codex says Siggy hated the codex so probably not.

He only used it to justify his chapter's size by pointing to the part that said "crusading chapters have no size limits" anyways.

Given the nature of the templars their numbers will always go up and down. They obviously don't care so much about format as they do crusading, but you can't go on a 6000 year crusade without taking shit loads of casualties

Disliking / not following the Codex and being ~1000 strong are not mutually exclusive.

For all we know the Black Templars are atound that size because their recruitment / casualties flow keeps them at that size.

Oh look a puppy and a kitty trying to be people.

Except when you misuse it for mundane shit that has no deeper meaning. Like "redpilling" you on painting a fucking space marine army or riding a bike. There is no fucking rabbit hole to this shit, you mong.

That's mostly because /pol/ shitposting on /tg/ is absolutely insufferable. A few weeks ago we had some bullshit where some mongoloid was /pol/posting about Ayn Rand in the 40kgen, and went on enormous thread killing rants about why the emperor was an objectivist, and calling other people in the thread leeches or something. That shit destroyed 3 entire threads
