Put a marine on your desk. Put an opened GW paint pot somewhere near the marine. Compare result to pic.

'new marines' are probably 1mm taller at most, which could also just be the result of not longer squatting like an autistic monkey.

So, just a question anons - I found a Space Marine battleforce box for less than half the price my LGS would sell the parts.
I'm just wondering, are they the regular kits, but in one box, or some snapfit monopose stuff?

>>52890970

This is what happens to xenosfags. The same thing will happen to Eldar and Tau soon enough.

And nothing of value will be lost.

>>52891063
Crunchwise, fluffwise, or both?

>>52891051
Not much actually, but GW is making Chaos the obvious No.1 threat to humanity once again, rather than a bunch of trolls fucking around in remote regions like the Eye of Terror, and people decided that meant that all Xenos got thrown under the bus.
Tau and Necrons at least have empires that show up on the new map, but since Tyranids don't conquer territory they don't show up on the new map of the galaxy.

>>52891055
Just wait till AT comes out and get a babby one :^)

>>52891078
Depending on which battleforce you are talking about they may be older kits, but there are still completely customizable and shit. The only snapfit crap you will find in starter sets and the mini-packs of like 3 models.

>>52890814
>actual alien players get lumped in with space elves, space china and metal space egyptians so imperialfags can more efficiently wank at chaosfags expense.

>>52891011

>>52891072
This. No doubt in 'canon' we would eventually get wrecked when Yvraine's boyfriend(s) rock up, but it seemed more interesting than just being 'le raiders'.

>>52890850
4th Edition, which was also when the tone of the game was at its most dark, ironically.

>>52891088
I mean I technically know how to make a Warlord Titan, yes, I'm just not sure if my skill is enough to justify the material costs.
And I don't know where to store something like that.

As for Chinaman, if he wants to sell me his shitty pirate copies he can contact me any time.

>>52891129
>wah wah muh precious xenomorph ripoff

>>52891056
It sucks because as a concept it's awesome as shit, down to the star children and all that, but you never see them expand that much. Shit it reminds me of Bloodborne but it doesn't go beyond just everyone getting ate. I'd like to see some genuine mind fuckery or Like a Genestealer Magus that knows full well what will happen when the tyranids will come but welcomes it because of his mind joining the hive mind in a horrifying cacophony of voices.

>>52891017
Remember, if the hive fleet or the splinter gets broken then the Cult will just fester until something sparks the rebellion. There's actually a cult that misread a meteor shower, took over the planet, and has begun waging war on other planets because they think it will please their forefathers.

>>52890833
All evil factions except maybe the Dark Eldar is described as something that will at some point wipe out the galaxy as we know it.

Chaos is GW's true darling and is first in line for that honour.

>>52891158

>As for Chinaman, if he wants to sell me his shitty pirate copies he can contact me any time.

Also, are there any good how to videos on painting dark angels? The ones in the dark vengeance videos are a bit too simply done compared to the newer ones.

People are saying that xeno races can't be the ultimate victors, but didn't the warhammer fantasy end times have the fucking skaven come out on top? Wouldn't have put them in the running up until then.

Anyway, this seems like the best thread to ask about this. I'm designing an ork buggy with some intention of maybe getting it printed, possibly even mass-produced if it looks good enough. Still very much at the roughing out general shapes stage, but I'm struggling to decide how to make the overall silhouette look really 'orky'. Obviously I can add lots of those spiky bits to it, but what about the underlying structure? Is there a particular combination of angles and shapes which really screams 'ork' to you?

Alternatively, you could go to youtube. Ol' Duncan has a video about doing the diamonds on harlequins, you could also look for the one with orky checkers, they use the same technique.

>>52891302
Simple geometric shapes like that are perfect for masking tape.

It isn't too hard to do that design freehand either. Brace your hands together to eliminate shake, use a good brush and don't thin your paints.

>>52891303

Look to the Trukk for design cues. FW has some great Trukk alternatives to draw from too.

Some scrap metal paneling and a big engine with a silly blower would be good. Maybe a more angular frame?

>>52891241
Infinty is shit. Nobody says it because it triggers infinty players and result in a thread being drowned in their butthurt, but it's shit.

Ideally you would have two names. I would not suffer to keep the same Kabal name as my former and weakling master

>Former Name: Kabal of the Shadesword Nightmare
>Symbol: Runes for Shadow and Sword ensnared in/tearing apart the rune for Rest/Repose

1000% edge, perfect for Dark Lance heavy 'muh raids' that wanted to transition into the big leagues and join the grim shade death edge Ynnead cult.


>New Name: Kabal of the Death's Humility
>Sigil: Rune for Death split asunder by the rune for Young Successor

The new name mocks both Yvraine and Co., and accurately describes what a dark lace does: it takes the heaviest armor and humbles it (nevermind that grav does this 1000% times better). Plus Haemonculi tend to laugh at Death.

>>52891374

>>52891432
So, we know that there are going to be five books which cover all the existing armies, but is it confirmed that they will be split up like this or is that part just speculation?

I'm kind of expecting Imperium, Chaos, Xenos, Wargear and Fortifications.

>>52891527
Death Guard on release, lots of space marines given their own books. Probably arbites and possibly ecclesiarcy later. Some hope for kroot if they ever figure out something interesting to do with them which isn't 'evolve a lot' (tyranids' thing) or 'look primitive as fuck' (too many factions already pushing that angle).

If I had my way, I'd like to see them do 'sanctioned xenos' as a faction (or as part of the agents of the imperium) with the kroot, jokaero, some renegade eldar and so on.

>>52891432
gk and deathwatch would be in the spacemarines book, because
A: they're space marines and
B: that makes imperial book sizes more even at 6 and 7 forces respectively.

probably move necrons in with nids and orks as the evil-ur xenos book again for even sizes.

Actually assembling and painting all that shit instead of letting it gather dust?

>>52891728

Have there ever been any space marine chapters that have defected from the Imperium but not joined Chaos? Like, gone rogue, maybe because an inquisitor exterminatus'd their homeworld or something?

That could be interesting.

Yeah, to the bench with Sisters. IG have no place in Space Marine: 40,000.

Of all the factions getting BTFO i'm glad they stuck it to IGfags, they are the lamest people IRL. hopefully you all finally fuck off to playing historical minis where you belong

>>52891758
Yeah, Astral Claws did that for a while, I think. They don't tend to last long though, as they can't really keep their numbers up without some support structure and the temptation to fall to chaos is always strong.

>>52891806
I would love some plastic Tallarn as well.

>>52891758
yeah a bunch. they're called renegade chapters.
many if not most do eventually fall to chaos. Relictors and Soul drinkers are canon examples.

>>52891799
i mean they both cause health issue and addiction, what more do you want?

>>52891758
I can't think of any specific names off hand, other the the mantis warriors, and technically they all got double murdered by the space sharks
And Huron was technically a champion of khorne by the time the actual fighting started so I'm not sure if the badab chapters count anyway
but 3 of the 4 chaos players at my FLGS all play unaligned homebrew warbands that defected but did immediately fall

>>52891827

Has there ever been a co-op 40k rules set? Official or not.

By which I mean, a game where one set of forces are controlled by some kind of random generator and the other side by human players? Like Execution Force or Silver Tower but with a wide range of minis being useable and maybe not on a board as such? I seem to recall the old kill-team rules had random movement for one side or something before they were alerted.

I think it was in the previous thread where someone mathhammered how many Lasgun shots you would need for a single wound on a Landraider, it was about 200 shots on average, if you counted the Landraider with a 2+ save, IIRC.
Please explain how many grots you are willing to throw at big bad Girlyman.

What they meant, and what the 'Three ways to play' imply, is that they tried to make a ruleset that caters to as many different people as possible : the lobotomised AoS crowd, kids with only money for one or two boxes, but also the hardcore tournament and competative players.

I thought if the cult had access to space faring tech, then they tried to prep entire systems and more if possible for a hive fleet.

You know the Landraider will probably have an even higher toughness value than that? You're not going to pop any tank soon without actually bringing some anti-tank stuff.

>>52892477
Why do you sound upset?

>>52892433
Well, then I imagine with a save of 2+ you'll need an Apocalypse-tier amount of Guardsmen shooting to shave off a single wound.

But I guess we'll just have to deal with retards shitposting and opening threads about killing Titans with a single Grot until 8th edition finally hits.

>>52892443
They already reworked stormtroopers though, and the IG line is definitely due for an overhaul. They're among the oldest kits currently available and I don't think GW will redo Berserkers or Warp Spiders anytime soon

>>52892473
Where is this in? I'm interested in reading

>>52892457
Maybe they need to be remade, but a plain regiment needs to exist so people can make their own guardsmen.
Like how a majority of Space Marine models are generic Space Marines that can be customized into the chapter you want them in.

>>52892495
What are the oldest plastic troops?
Imperial Guard and Chaos?

>>52890814

>>52892477
It will probably tiered rolling, like in SW:A. You need a 7+ to wound? Well, better prepare throw a six and then at least 3+. Wounding on 8+? Thats a six and a four to wound. And so on.
That's not impossible, but nothing but a most desperate tactic if you actually play the game.
Not to mention that Land Raider will shoot back and probably has a squad of Terminators loaded.

Nigga just look at our current T chart. Some S can't hurt certain T. S1 can't hurt T5+, S4 can't hurt T8+, etc.

This will likely stay, and they did say stats can go above 10. T10+ vehicles, likely.

>>52891912
Yeah old kill team had squads of goons that would investigate noise and would move toward it and stuff until they detected the kill team.

>>52892573
Its possible they are repackaging redoing stuff, some of it came back from being no longer available. It's a constant fear though.

>>52892477
But that still doesn't mean it can realistically kill it.

First off, GW confirmed that vehicles can no longer be instant-killed by a single lucky shot.

Second, let's assume that worst case is a 6 always wound, and you don't have 6 followed by 4, 5, etc for highest toughness. Landraiders will be tough, and all units use the same statline, so at least a 2+ armoursave. Stats can go above ten, but let's not go to wild and say the Landraider has 15 wounds.

That would mean that, statistically speaking, it would take 90 succesfull wounds to kill a Landraider with a Grot firing its gun at it, which means 540 succesfull hits, which means 1080 shots. Terrifying I'm sure.

>>52892595

I don't mean the rules and stuff, but the fictional works in the universe like the Imperial guard series ect

I emailed them about that not too long ago actually because I wanted to finish my Elysian infantry with a third platoon and squad of guardsmen.

Some of the kits they rarely sold, so they are repacking things together (I assume the two command squads are being rolled into one, the missile launcher and mortar squad being rolled into one, etc). They should be back later on in the year.

Doubt it.

More likely it's either the scaling Toughnsss
Wound on 6s and then reroll 6s for 2+/3+/4+ etc.

Or everything gets wounded on 6s andLand Raiders have 10+ HPs and a 2+ Sv which would be 360 lasgun hits to accomplish.

And it's not so much if the tactic c is viable so much as it is that the tactic exists at all. Very hard to figure out how a grot blasta managed to knock off the last wound on a Titan.

I think a grittier and more tactically styled Cadian guardsmen something more in line with how Kasrkins look would be great. Still some homage to the old models but something to show that "Oh shit their planet just got fucked by the Eye, shit got serious. Time to take off the water wings."

>>52892693
How is anyone fucking stupid enough to actually think lasguns vs tanks will be viable? Basic common sense.

>>52892976
Sssh, don't bring reason into this, just let us meme

>>52892806
tyrabids don't start consumption to a significant degree until after the planet is conquered.

During the invasion the cultists fight with the nids. Once the invasion is won the tyranids turn on the cultists.

Tyranids are Orks 2.0

People burning their armies or selling them on Ebay for a nickel and a dime right this moment :^)

>>52892838
unconfirmed. but speculation is ultramarines vs death Guard

>>52892566
And yet points were added to AoS, rules have been expanded, armies are slowly getting all their extra shit back. The rest of your argument is stop liking what i di t like, so kindly fuck off

Only like 3 million managed to survive.

I mostly see loyalist fags and works screeching on this board. Esp when you trigger them with the secret word:
Tau

>>52893050
Still enough for like 1 or 2 battles

>>52893050

There are cadians all over the galaxy, stupid idiot

>I have no imagination, the post
I cam think of several ways a grot knocked off the last wound of a titan. Why is your imagination so shit compared to mine?

>>52891726
What I want is two standard guard boxes and a veteran upgrades box

Long Coat box with Valhallan, Steel legions/DKoK and Vostrian heads
Jacket box with Cadian, Tallarn and Mordian heads
Veteran upgrade box with additional special weapons, shotguns, camo cloaks, resperator heads for all the above and carapace plates

>>52893020
...you're right, let us profit from their stupidity!

>>52893015
Orks are the galaxies white (or green) blood cells, they merely exists to ensure that no race ever becomes too big for its britches.

When a race expands too quickly, Orks see a proper fight and unite to crush it and once the threat is reduced there is no more proper fighting and they implode do to in-fighting.

Nids are more like a virus to which the immune system has to purge.

>>52892806
The tyranids ignore the cultists until the planet is pacified.

Then the cultists are delivered to paradise.

Are factions that don't get released in starting five NPC factions?

>>52893084
I really like this way of distinguishing them.

>>52893084
So Orks will save the galaxy from Tyranids

As a Daemon of Excess, I know all about gluttony and devouring, be it meals or people. As for references, well, I'm afraid I've gobbled those all up!

Eh, I'll stick with 40k

>>52893121
Well from an anatomical standpoint, there are viruses that can fuck up or corrupt any cell including white blood cells so anons allegory stands pretty well. Orks are the checks and balances, but they're not impermeable or indestructible.

And like a virus, nids are constantly evolving and mutating to adapt. So I guess that even though loyalist scum or any of the demos may have the ability to beat the nids back in every battle, all it takes is one weakness to lose everything to the nids

I hope that everyone gets exactly what the want now that truescale (or true-proportion or whatever you want to sperg out about calling it) is in the game there's really nothing else to ask for.

One can only hope they use the Octarius war to give people a release break from chaos conflict because nids and orks getting updates as cool as truescale would be amazing

What will happen to Apocalypse and Apocalyptic units with 8th edition?

So, I just ordered a Contemptor Dread from the B@C box and some Mark 3 Spehss Mareens. Why does the Contemptor Dread look THAT static? I mean, I like its look and all, but why is it practically a monopose model? Can't be that hard to make legs you can move around a bit, can it?

>like DA
>don't like bikes or land speeders

>>52893345
All warhammer models are static if you just build them the way they come in the box.

>>52893345
Who knows. Ask GW, maybe they will answer.
Probably the main reason is "because it's cheaper"
>>52893356
What bikes and landspeeders? Dark Angels are all about terminators. Bikes and Landspeeders don't even exist.

>>52893345
The FW one looks awesome

>>52893345
Most things are becoming mono-pose now, its easier to make more visually complex models/details if they don't have posable pieces
