As the main Taufag in /40kg/ I want to be usefull for once and tell you that pic related is truly the single best airbrush (or brush... for that matter, but don't dillute as its already extremely THIN) paint for dreads/vehicules/ and of course, Tau MasterRace Suits.
Given the high amount of GunPla poster of previous thread, i guess a lot of you are looking for thin satin finish paints.
>>
>>54264577
You would think that having 600+ paint references woth different consistency for each uses would be enough for Vallejo, but they actually improved and nailed AGAIN with the Mecha Paints
>>
I don't dare buying paint pots from GW anymore because they dry up in a short time. I use vallejo now instead.

Is there any tricks to keep GW paint from drying up and becoming useless?

>reposting from the other thread since the exterminatus

>>54264430
it somewhat triggers me that the weapons in 40k called 'bolt' gun/pistol or whatever fire miniture rockets in the exact same way as the gyrojet.

Yet a gyrojet (or any similar self propelled) weapon does not require a bolt at all. None of them actually have one as a part. Thats the whole point of self propelled munitions, they require significantly less mechanisms and parts to fire therefore reducing the weight.

really makes you think....

Opinion on gunpla and gundam markers?
I picked up a set with some panel lining markers for my tau, was it a good investment?
Do I need to prime or if I don't does it work on models that have already been base coated?
Can they be used on things that aren't flat surfaces like fire warriors?
>>
>>54264627
'Bolt' refers to ammunition they fire, not the mechanism.

that kind of makes more sense... i think what they're referring to as the bolt is actually called a sabot

but that still makes no sense when you consider that the projectiles are point detonated and sabot isnt..maybe i should just stop trying to make sense of GW
>>
Alright you nerds, create your own specific sub-faction ruleset.
Make the format similar to 4th edition space marine chapter traits.
For example:

>Sub Faction name
Vostroyan Firstborn
>Trait advantage
<REGIMENT> INFANTRY can purchase Carapace armour (4+ armour save) at 2 points per model.
>Trait Disadvantage
Armies using this sub-faction cannot use units with the MILITARUM AUXILIA keywords

How are Daemon Princes performing compared to the Chaos Lord variants?

Not sure if the body is worth the points, since I can either hang back and buff my dreadnoughts or have him support my khornate terminators in combat so the flexibility is kind of a factor.

here

anyone got some good paint/brush companies they use that are good quality but not as expensive as GW stuff? im looking at Vallejo paints right now based on what you guys have been talking about. Any other 'go to' companies that you guys use? Im just getting back into 40k and fuck paying GW prices for things that i can get for half the price

If, at the start of any given phase, your prince isn't suplexing fools or about to start suplexing fools, you've wasted points. They make a good second HQ though, being a beatstick that provides demon synergy and psychic powers.

You get psychic powers and anti vehicle punch. I suspect relics will largely fix this for chaos lords though. Also the high wounds and toughness makes small arms fire near useless.
>>
>>54264730
Imma spend 200 points so my Carcharodons leader can hold 100 chainswords and have 100 extra attacks now. He's just a ball of chainswords and rolls on people okay.

You model 100 chainswords onto a single marine and I'll let it pass.

Reminds me of my friend bitching about how they FAQd Trygons attacks down by 1 despite having three pairs of talons.

>Trait disadvantage
No models in this army may be included with any army that has units with the FALLEN keyword. In addition all units in this army can never fall back in the fight phase if the combatant has the FALLEN keyword.

Craftworld Yme-Loc
>Trait advantage
Exemplary craftsmanship: all wave serpents, falcons, fire prisms and night spinners gain +1 wound.
>Trait Disadvantage(s)
With the exception of swooping hawks and warp spiders, all INFANTRY must begin the game in a transport.
May only take 1 unit with the SPIRIT HOST keyword in each slot per detachment (e.g. only 1 of your 3 elites may be a SPIRIT HOST unit in a Yme-Loc battalion), and no more than half (rounding down) of the total choices in a detachment may have the SPIRIT HOST keyword.

Of course, this could be a bit pointless if Yme-Loc get official rules anyway.

>>54264730
I'd say you could get away with 1ppm, that's what grey hunters pay for a chainsword. (Well, actually it's free for them to take one, but they're 1ppm more expensive than tacticals.)

If you dont know what you are doing, only ever buy their Game Air(Mat) or Airbrush Mecha (Satin, for vehicules) Range.
They are made for Airbrush.. and so are EXTREMELY thin.
Try going into a modelling store to experience the difference youself tho.
If you know how to perfectly dillute consistently, and the difference between every dullution solutions, buy the standard range,theyll be cheaper

are the warhawks near any high gravity planet? I wouldn't be completely out of character to try and train some specialists units

If that happens, I think you'll see 10 bolters which can be given scopes or box magazines (like with the Primaris Captain). I don't think you'll get 15/30 guns in the box.

All armies with the MARS keyword are allowed to reroll a single failed morale test once per turn. In addition, all SKITARII RANGERS and SKITARII VANGUARD are allowed to take 4 special weapons in a 10 man squad rather than 3.

please read comment chain before posting
>>54264985
with a 20" move you can just do laps even on a 4x4 table (my local gw only has 4x4 since it's fucking tiny), no need to hover since hard to hit is too valuable

The rules would be auto-take for suit lists, but markerlight support would be limited to drones and Tetras.
>>
>>54264983
Honestly that's a better solution anyway, and it's sort of what I want. Buy some other gear from, like, Anvil Industries to tac them out and make either Raptors or Emperor's Warbringers in full tactical operator style.
>>
>>54265016
Good thing we dont need troop choice anymore

It's what I've been suspecting for a few weeks now. It's just too... logical not to be a thing?

But then again, that might be exactly why it won't be.
>>
>>54265027
I mean, if you want more CP you do.

And there is the matter of cost.
>>
>>54265022
since we can split wounds, we are looking to at most +1hp/suitteam / turn, and thats only ona 50/50 chance.

Do you have any examples you can show of these, I've seen them mentioned in a few places but haven't seen any actually in use so I'm not sure how they're different from regular airbrush paints.
>>
>>54264822
Yes, we'll get a modular box someday.
However, with a bit of conversion work you could do a lot with these three. The champion with the Plasma Gun on the backpack you could cut the Power Fist off and give him a normal Bolter to count as Combi-Plasma, the guy with the Blight Launcher could be cut up and turned into holding, say, a Heavy Flamer, which you can count as a normal Flamer and the Bolter dude has the Bolter as a seperate piece so you could take the gun off, give him whatever special weapon you want him to have and then greenstuff a tentacle to hold the gun.
And if you're desperate, Intercessors are barely taller than Nu-Plague Marines and probably dirty up really well.
>>
>>54265049
That only works if the models in question are, actually, shit.

Of which those wouldn't be.
>>
>>54265049

>so that you can have CP to make them less shittt
You don't use CP on units like that. You blow CP on bad rolls for Blast weapons, critical saves for characters and failed charges.
>>
>>54265069
>We'll get a modular box someday
Keep telling yourself that
>>
>>54265038
is it viable or worth it for suit lists?

>>54264954
If those were the options, nobody would ever take anything but the Bolt Rifle. The auto bolt rifle has lower range and from 15" onwards is simply the same gun but with lower AP and the Stalker Rifle would make any Sternguard laugh at them.

If the auto rifle (both for them and for the Lieutenant) were Assault 3 and the Stalker rifle (both for them and the Captain) were Heavy 2, they might be worth considering, but they don't really need options worse than their baseline wargear.
>>
>>54265075
In the Death Guard tease there were power armoured infantry DG that were neither Dark Imperium nor this Easy-Build kit
>>
>>54265071
Except you could have way more blast weapons, and units to make charge with, if not for wasting points on shit troops

>>54265070
And how exactly would they hold up against the supposed 36"range Plasma (so D2) the argument started on ?
Yeah right. I'll gladly pay 4ppm more and not have that model be shit.

Yep, one with an awesome-looking flail that I hope hints at a more CC-oriented alternative for Plague Marines. Or maybe he's just some character

>Sub Faction name

ALPHA LEGION detachments change Chosen to the Troops slot rather than the Elites slot. In addition, any ALPHA LEGION INFANTRY may choose to set up 12" away from enemy forces prior to the start of Turn 1.
>Trait Disadvantage
ALPHA LEGION units may not take Marks of Chaos. In addition, you must have more INFANTRY type units than all others combined.

Vallejo is the favorite brand of serious commission painter/golden demon winner etc.
This particular set of paint isn't out yet, but a lot of Golden Demon/SlayerSword/Hussard winner and commission painter got send the entire 60+ Mecha paint range to test them heavily before release.

They will be out soon, you can see example of those paint mainly on facebook >>54264592 or painters blogs.
The Main reported difference is how the subtle satin finish react to interior/exterior light while being an airbrush paint and so extremely THIN.

If only GW could put like even 1/10th of the money Vallejo spend in paint R&D maybe they wouldn't suck so much

Anyone else find it really weird fielding something like Blood Angels, White Scars or Salamanders due to how strong their themes are?

Like all those guys have entire companies of tactical marines yet it feels like a waste of you exclude or include them. If you run White Scars with 50 bikes and no marines it feels wrong but if you do include marines it feels like 'why run White Scars at all'.

Both. Gorillaman made entire chapters from his final ~20000 survivors of the indomitus crusade, but a lot of the other fifty thousand were also subbed out as eleventh companies for oldmarine chapters, so feel free to field mixed primarines and oldmarines

I haven't played Sisters since there was a SoB codex, but they're having a bath in green right now getting ready to repaint.

I was thinking of picking up Celestine and two Avengers to support them then wait for the codex to see what else is new. Anything else you see as mandatory for them now?

I have two immolators, a land raider (don't think I can use it tho?), about 40 SoB, various heavy weapons and assault weapons, 20 seraphim, plus two cannoness and random stuff.

I'm planning on converting some storm bolsters to make a specialist squad or two out of basic Sisters but not sure what else to do.

i used to run 3 + priest + auxilia company commander before the FAQ, because i could attack in shooting phase with orders, however priest is not worth it anymore

3 + priest = 16 attacks on charge, 13 after
4 = 17 attacks on charge, 13 after

single priest would be better if both teams fought together, but that is rarely the case as they more than hold thier own without any support

Not as useful anymore as flying units are easier to shoot down.
>Immolators
I have 4 and the Immolation Flamer is great. Put meltas on the battle sisters and leave the flamers on vehicles.
>Land raider
Can only carry what it states on its profile, so no SoB units.
>Heavy Weapons
Try getting a unit of heavy Bolter retributors together. They're looking great with the new rules.
Heavy Flamers are better off on tanks.
>Canoness'
Have one of these around clusters of shooting units you'll be using, especially Exorcist batteries.

When Vossies were introduced, their doctrines gave them Carapace and whatever the skill was that let you re-roll 1s to hit, which would perfectly represent their better than average armour and guns.

>>54265378
Nah I just do my painting in the garden
>>
>>54265345

You lose 1A on the charge, but the priest itself compensates for that with a cheap storm bolter.

And you have 3 transport slots for other stuff (IE: inquisitorial acolytes or even an inquisitor)

30ish pt for 3 extra 4+ storm bolters is nice

Storm Bolter are 2 points thanks to the FAQ.

>>54265301
SoB have not change much. The traditional 5 girl squad with flamers has been replaced by storm Bolter or melts if you hate Dominions for some reason.

Repressor are almost mandatory for Dominions since all 5 of them can shoot out from it, also they can grant it, their bonus pre turn one move. Giving them flamer is rather pointless when you have Immolator with super flamer for your other girls.

Exorcist is basically the same. Heavy Bolter retribution squad are rather good, mostly because they can spam 8th magic number "S5 AP-1"
Math wise that thing can ignore cover and wound the hardiest shit on a 5+

Normal flamers unless you can get 4+ on a squad they are not really worth it. Specially in squad with no fly rule to get out of the way once they get get charged.

On the other hand seraphim worked well with hand flamers till the FAQ that nerfed hand flamers and kept the high price. So you are better of with Inferno pistol. So you can be sure to murder what ever you shoot.

Agreed. A few days ago, someone said (lifting quote from archives)

"So where's where are all the options for sergeants and officers? Where are the special weapons for the hellblasers? Where's the 20 man bolter squads with standard bearers and vox-operators?"

To which I said, "Coming within 2 months if you ask me. Get the boxes out there, get the new codices out there, then release the new units alongside that codex. Have you not noticed that you can't straight up buy Primaris Marines yet? It's because they don't fit the game as it currently exists."

Well first the game is dying, regardless some guys love it and always defend it in most places where people shit talk about the game.

Right now the game have little content. Gameplay wise it is a blob fighter made wrong with some limited map mechanics that people compare with MOBAs a lot.

I was really expecting a DoW2 with bigger scale, less "tactical" with a proper base building like CoH2, pretty much a pre CoH3.
>>
>>54265863
Holy fuck are you kidding?

Out of the entirety of 40k, it's got 3 playable armies. 3. It plays like a moba, you've got certain unit upgrades that are all very measured and static and your goal is to run through a hallway killing turrets until you get to the enemy power thing and destroy it to win, while they push out units of dudes at regular intervals to block you from getting there, complete with massively oversized cartoonish heroes that mash through the mobs that the enemy spawns.

It's not technically a moba but it's a limited shitty moba-esque piece of shit and everyone hates it, so fuck no. Not good enough to draw moba players and detestable dogshit to tabletop players and dawn of war players.

If you like RTS that are Warhammer 40k themed, play DoW1 with some of the crazy mods like ultimate apocalypse, which adds in the majority of the armies in the game with the majority of units for the armies as of an edition or two ago.

I've run that a few times, the priest just gets dumpstered on turn 1 in the combat phase, either i charge him in and he gets targeted instead of the bullgryns, or i dont do that and he gets shot because he's in the enemies deployment zone

>>54264625
I've thought about it. For armor facing, I was considering changing the toughness and saves for each face. Like a Russ would be front: S 10, 2+, side: S 9, 3+ and rear: S 8, 3+. For templates, all would stay the same damage and strength wise, add back ignores cover and probably 1d6 for scatter.

They can shield more than you think, since you can take them as separate units, thus requiring split fire.

The enemy needs to wast an excessive amount of shots to kill them or run the risk of one surviving, thus preventing the next unit from targeting the priest.

In addition, with 20" move, 3" disembark and 6" move, the ogryns should easily be able to be within a couple inches from the enemy.

With ogryns a couple inches in front, hardly more than a unit would be able to target the priest, making 2 acolytes more than enough.

I feel that tanks are a bit more survivable this way, and hit modifiers can be affected by abilities negating the need to hit certain facing. By making the front of the Russ pretty tough encourages a player to try and flank the tank.

everything has split fire, this wont catch anyone out unless they are retarded

>The enemy needs to wast an excessive amount of shots to kill them or run the risk of one surviving, thus preventing the next unit from targeting the priest.

its a single wound, t3 model with a 5+ save, just throwing chaff weapons into it from vehicles is enough

alternatively they can just charge them or the priest

>In addition, with 20" move, 3" disembark and 6" move, the ogryns should easily be able to be within a couple inches from the enemy.

yes, they will be in close combat on turn 1

>With ogryns a couple inches in front, hardly more than a unit would be able to target the priest, making 2 acolytes more than enough.

the bullgryns will be elbow deep in the juiciest target they can find, there is a large chance that consolidation on the enemy can pull the priest into combat unless he's the max buff range away

its the option of:
17 s7 ap-1 d2 attacks on 3+

or

13 s7 ap1 d2 attacks on 3+
3 stormbolters

and if that priest cops it early, which it always does across the 20 something matches i fielded them, then i lose 3 bullgryn attacks

its simply not worth it anymore anon

>>54266301
astropath only rolls 1 dice so its 17% chance to cast, easy to deny, compared to ~54% on the primaris

that being said i still need to find space to bring them with me, the 2 valks generally dont go to the same place so my bullgyns can table pressure multiple points very easily and draw fire, which they are excellent at shrugging off if you mix 2 of each shield

Assuming "no extremes" rolls of 2-3-4-5 (cause extremes hurt you more)

You start by giving it 5 Str (or the opponent will give it 2/3 Str, making it utterly useless), opponent gives it 2 shots, ap and dmg is 3/4

So 2 S5 AP -3/4 D 3/4 shots. Not utterly awful, but still underwhelming.

The main problem is the strenght, it forces you to select it first or risk the weapon being completely useless.

How to fix the gun:

A: d6 / S: 3+d6 / AP -(1+d3) / D:d3

Well yeah, the point of 40k is that EVERYONE is the worst possible thing, no jokes or exceptions. How overly horrific and gory the universe has become (and how darkly comedic that makes things) IS the point of 40k.

The one problem with the demented grimdark humor is people like Tau who want to set up noblebright Star Trek shit in the universe. the point of the joke is I say imperium is a paradise while we murder everyone, and Tau say it's a paradise while they gulag/mindwipe everyone, and it's a fun time because of the ridiculousness.

define "Mankind". Because imo the main reason the Imperium is a shitty place to live right now is Lorgar, who, while not precisely human, did play for their team.

Then he went and wrote the book that people use as a reason to BLAM you if you don't call Emps a god.
Then he went and started the Heresy.

If the Imperium still had all 18 Legions on its side and weren't crazy fanatic, the Xenos threat would be no threat.

So did a single Necron dynasty, who secured an even bigger region of space, yet you don't hear necron players constantly tooting their horn about that.

So, with running a dread heavy list, I'm torn between going normal Astartes and using Ironclad vs going BA and using Death Company Dreads.

The latter have slightly less damage but more attacks and potential wound ignoring, plus the consolidate and charge boost vs vehicles. Former have more damage and the assault launchers that are a nice source of mortal wounds.

Thoughts?

Not really, just bad writing
Best example of this is Knight commander Pask Mr I'll never ride a Baneblade because I'm a Russ man.
Rides a Baneblade to make the Tau commander look better

Tau space has a bubble of retardation that makes any non Tau retarded.

While idiocy tends to be a simpler explanation than malice most of the time, do remember that the two are not mutually exclusive.

You have no idea what national socialism is do you?

Its a trash ideology but making it about genocide misses the point.

And you sound like a retard who only gets his 40k info from shitposing here and memes. The Guard are primarily known for their tanks, artillery and aerial support, and they use these to great effect. The human wave Guardsmen to see are most often in desperate situations or when the enemy is just THAT numerous, none of which were a problem there. Had they used their most basic, barebones tactics, the tau would have been obliterated on sheer logistics alone, not even counting the Space Marines and the fucking AdMech.

Machismo, in Eco's conception of the word, includes a disdain for women and homosexuals that the Imperium does not manifest in current fluff.

And while the Imperium has phrases that are weird to us (counter-septic for anti-septic, vox for radio, lho stick for ciggarette), I'm not sure they are imposed from on-high by the state. I think they arose organically and are used to establish an air of exotic strangeness.

>4. Disagreement is treason? Oh lord, check.
That's authortian, not facist. It's treason to disagree with stalin, doesn't mean the USSR was facist
>7. Obsession with a plot? Check.
Firstly, not part of the definition of facist. Secondly, when the plots are very real, it's completely justified.
>11. Cult of Death? Check.
Cult of death is not facist. Facists may have a cult of death, but it not what helps define facism.

It's Umberto Eco's 14 signs of Ur-Fascism. Do you have a better definition of fascism to propose?

Please tell me that the head in the 2nd pick isphotoshopped

We could analyze what actual fascists believed instead of generic authoritaranism. Hell, most of those apply to various communist states too.

I've been thinking about how a lot of my GW paints are drying up, and now I notice all these paint posts. Anyone own pic related? I can get it for about 100 bucks, would this pretty much take care of all my painting needs for the next few years?

Paint is also paint, right? If I still liked a GW color that I have a good pot of, nothing like weird crossbrand reactions would happen? And if I paint something in all Army Builder paints, I can still douse it in Devlan Mud at the end of the day?

Army painter is decent friendo. Although i gotta ask, are you keeping the rims clean on your GW paints? Not keeping that neck clean leads to dry paint.

You do know that neo-feudalism is Facism right?

Any black templar anons out there? Tell me about the army

Yep, you can use them all together. The majority of my colors are from Army Painter. Their metallics and washes are really good, in particular.
