Do you guys think it's possible to be noticed for recasted forgeworld heads in a GW store?
>>
>>55231557
If they're painted, literally how could anyone tell the difference? Most of the recasts I've seen would only be spotted because the quality is higher than the actual stuff Forge World makes.
>>
>>55230185
They okay. 25 points is a touch steep, but deep strike and a 3++ are real damn nice. The only downside is that they lack real killing potential and customization, and as such are hard to justify.

Cause a IF veteran with a storm shield is the same thing except no DS and 4 points less, and he can grab all sorts of options. So take them if you like, but not anything great or competitive

>>55231471
Wherein? I'm not a creeper I swear, I'm just curious, I know a ton of people here live in DFW

>>55231557
No, people never notice. The only time someone got close was holding a tank that was way to light, but he didn't notice. People generally don't know and suspect as much as people here do
>>
>>55231557
I don't think GW would care if it was just heads anyway, but you're probably not going to get noticed.
>>
>>55231471
Out of curiosity, do you have blond hair or do you wear a blond wig for your Samus cosplay?

>Cause a IF veteran with a storm shield is the same thing except no DS and 4 points less, and he can grab all sorts of options. So take them if you like, but not anything great or competitive

I'm thinking one or two five man squads with melta gun and multi melta to deep strike in, ruin some tanks or poorly placed characters, and then just soak up some fire power. They seem like they'd be good as part of an allied detachment.
>>
>>55231656
I feel your pain. I'm working on a full-body cosplay in honor of the FFXII remake and I know that thing's going to get hot as hell. And if you want to have something to work with, Narga Aoki's stuff might help you out with the conceptualization of it.

Her Howling Banshee is a delight.

>>55231757
Well, there's multiple games that Games Workshop peddles their models for and there's quite a few of them. Necromunda, Shadow War: Armageddon, Deathwatch: Overkill, 40k and Sigmar as you mentioned, 30k if you're into marine vs marine conflict, and the now dead Warhammer Fantasy Battle to name a few. As for Sigmar and 40k, they're quite similar with the advent of 8th edition. Though Sigmar will be a lot less shooting oriented than 40k, in which there is a lot of shooting. And some models from Sigmar fit right into 40k; primarily Daemons, yet some Chaos models fit in as well.

I've been out of the loop since brimstone horrors/Magnus were introduced, and was already very jaded for some time before that. I haven't checked TG for about that same length of time.

I've since taken a look at the dropbox codices.

Are you guys happy with 8th ed?

>>55232793
8E is a massive improvement but it still has the same examples of game breaking cheese builds. And Magnus and Brimstones are still retarded.

I like it, glad I got back into the game after a long hiatus. There are some retarded WAAC loopholes but honestly that's true of a lot of games, especially ones where you have a lot of choices in terms of factions and units like this one. I manage to just not play dickheads fortunately, so I rarely have to deal with that.

Nah, they're tough to kill but they eat up a solid chunk of points for their offensive and defensive prowess. At 2k it's easy to have enough anti-tank to get rid of them easily.

GW has to go over the top with everything. They never understood that having no subtlety in 40k as a setting doesn't mean that you can't have at least a little subtlety in miniature sculpts.

Also, the Forge World Mechanicum range is amazing. Dreadlocks Magos remains best Magos, and he comes with more weapon options than a lot of GW kits just for his bling throne.
>>
>>55233491
>>55233575
Simple, interesting designs ARE good - just look at the Primaris Intercessors - a new updated Space Marine with better proportions and size and different parts.

Look at this primaris sergeant here, it looks like he's giving orders to attack or advance. Nothing FW has put out comes close to this level of quality.
>>
>>55233636
I do like the basic Primaris, but everything in their range bar them and the rievers look totally retarded, detail or not, because the actual armour design looks stupid.

On the other hand, stuff like Skitarii and Sicarians look great, and they have loads of details that actually work and don't overly clutter up the model. Different levels of detail work for different things, and Forge World gets it almost exactly right for most of their Mech and the Solar Auxilia.
Also more poses for most of the models barring Solar nowadays, which is always nice if you have a few of them.

>>55233769
Ultras are the way to play Marines, a tactically flexible army that is both durable and able to do a little of everything.

All other forms are marines are skewed too far in one direction or another.

Sharks are too skewed towards assault but other armies do assault better.

Right as I was going to buy the Tyranid Swarm box it went unavailable. Generally how long does it take GW to get restocked? I've never bought from them directly.

How good are marine ships at void combat? How are they different from navy ships and how would they fight against a chaos fleet of similar size?

>>55234068
Yeah, so?
Just because it's thematic doesn't mean it actually looks good.
If they gave him tiny fly wings that could barely hold up a guardsman, it would still be thematic, but equally ass.

And besides
He had feathers in all his art before now

Marines are excel at boarding, their ships are only ones capable of exterminatus besides inquisition.

They should have given him skeletal wings. Fuck, nurgle would be so much cooler if he was more spooky skellingtons and less pus and shit.

>>55234124
I like the insectoid design with the mechanical bits. If someone paints it like a fly wing I think that'd be dope.

Exterminatus is irrelevant in void combat. But are they only good at boarding? They'd get btfo by any ship fast enough to kite them then...

If battlefleet Gothic was anything to go by, their ships were beefy but the superhuman crew were the real age. Space marine vessels were the same ones they'd use to conduct drop pod and landing operations.

If someone out in space started giving them the business they just roll that shit and shoot the drop pods, now boarding pods, at them, along with thunderhawks which made for pretty strong ordnance as a small swarm of turbo laser craft.

It's all fun and games until 8 ft tall chainsaw and gyro rocket shooting nutcases are on your command bridge, and in you engineering bay. Oh, and they can survive in space whereas your crew may not enjoy that luxury.

At the end of the day it's a bad going-in game plan if your target wasn't space bound to begin with, but turns out ships full of superhumans do pretty well. Also, next to tyranid and chaos ships they are likely the most dangerous ships to board as an aggressor.

Tl;Dr batteries not so good but ordnance very good, boarding superb.

>how would they fight against a chaos fleet of similar size

If the chaos ships arnt too fucked from chaos fuckery (ie night lords or alpha legion) then chaos stand a good chance of winning. Its generally accepted that their ships are better quality if they're legion ships and come from the great crusade. However if they're recent chapters that have turned or heavily chaos fucked legion ships then ISM ships probably have the edge over CSM. Plus ISM fleets are generally better organised

Actual war scythes had the blade mounted so it stuck out the top of the haft, so you could swing with the edge or stap with the tip (which was sharp, not blunt like many weird fantasy scythes).

With the shit on GW models, I guess you swing it like an axe and make contact with the tip, which has a chain blade in Mortarion's case.

Hey guys i could need a little help with some knowledge.

Basicly i´m doing a presantation about 40k and its roots and now i´m doing comparisons where the factions inspirations are coming from i.e. genestealers are a carbon copy of Alien, Necrons is Terminator and so on.

Now are the space marine an complete original Idea from GW or are they a copy of something too?

I couldn´t find anything regarding that online so i figured i would ask you guys.

>>55235140
Calling them a "carbon copy" is pretty flawed. But, since it looks like you're talking very broad pop culture inspirations:
SM borrow from Starship Troopers by Heinlen
Arbites are Judge Dredd
Obviously Eldar and Orks are Space Elves and Space Orcs respectively. So Tolkien by way of popular fantasy.
Chaos is based in part upon the works of Michael Moorcock
Many Imperial Guard Regiments have pop culture inspirations. such as Rambo(Catachan), Lawrence of Arabia(Tallarn), and Aliens(Old Cadians. New Cadians look more like movie Starship Troopers).
Tau obviously take influence from east asian culture and Japanese mecha design, i.e.. Gundam and Macross, in particular.
Probably more I've not remembering off the top of my head.

WHFB Bonus: Skaven come from the works of Fritz Lieber

I'm conflicted about it.

On the one hand, it's a chance for GW to fix Orks.

On the other hand, they had exactly that chance with the Index and they proved themselves entirely incapable of fixing the army. Plus the codex will almost certainly nerf Boyz and because no-one on the rules team is passionate about Orks we'll be left with zero viable builds as opposed to one.

That's what I meant; Omegon supposedly gets killed after the Heresy, but even Guilliman says "I'm not sure it was actually him." So I left it off.

The problem is that the trim details are too big for the model.

Pretty much guaranteed 10 mortal wounds per phase

I have no idea to be honest anon. Maybe try and sell the rest of it or just hope to buy the arm on it's own? I'm working on a corrupted admech force so I don't really have a use for the Glottkin model itself.

How completely fucked in the lore would Grey Knights be alongside culexus assassins or the sisters of silence? With them all being somewhat related to the inquisition they must have been in contact.

Could the sisters or the assassins fight against them easily?

Grey Knights would steer clear from Sisters of Silence and Culexus. They might fight in the same warzone but they will never fight alongside each other.

He could stand on his base. He could have one foot on a rock, like he's jumping off it. He could he connected to the ground by his robes, or his chains, or his censers.

To actually try to give some actual advice (the very idea!) your list does seem kind of slow, especially as once the scions have landed nothing goes faster than human walking pace so will struggle to reach objectives quickly (aka "the necron 8E problem"). So, do you know if you'll be playing games with tactical objectives? If so, might be worth having some dudes in transport vehicles to race off after any random objectives you roll. If you're not going to be playing those missions, then gunline on, you crazy diamond.

Wait why is it GW stuff is so overdesigned?

I fuckin love the FW stuff for 30k, it feels like they got the aesthetic of "baroque and overdone but not super over-cluttered" that makes the setting perfect, yet goddamn GW can't even make their own shit right.

Is it just a sales things? Like the 30k Primarchs blend their backstory with the setting flawlessly, and aside from faces looking odd nail it. Why do GW Primarchs look so busy? Is it really just kidbucks? I'd think a kid would like bobby g too

Dear Admech players:
How do you build your Brigade? With no cheap HQ I'm having difficulty. The only thing I seem to be able to do is 6 vanguard 3 onager 3 dragoon which is super boring. Can you basically just not bring Kastelans in a 2k Brigade? There doesn't even seen to be room for Kataphrons. Am I dumb and just missing some kind of cheap tax that other Admech people are using?
>>
>>55236397

>Space marines:

change devastator squad makeup to:
Sgt, 1/2 boltguns, 2 HBs, 2 lascannons, cherub

>Guard:

Replace a commander with a Tempestor
Add another Tempestor (extra spearhead detachment)
Give the commander a boltgun

Drop a commissar
Add two tempestus command squads with melta

Replace All HS choices with 9 HWTs
>>
>>55236868
Space marines are aimed at kids generally
Which is why they are generally the most overdesigned
Plus they have hyped up primarchs are these big amazing god super soldiers, but then FW beat them to the punch and now they have to one up them
>>
>>55235778
Just beef them up numb nuts, the way you position the arms fills up the space and from the top makes them look way less lanky
>>
>>55236891
Currently we don't, we use Brigade at like 3k when we have plenty of comfy room to kit it all out and can actually use the 6 troops to screen the HSupps we can afford at that level. At 2k Battalion + Spearhead for extra HSupps if needed generally works better, it's not like we have a huge amount of things to use 12CP on anyway until codex releases.
Our listbuilding has some pretty mean taxes at the moment, yeah. Hopefully we'll have some patches sorted out in a couple weeks.
>>
>>55236968
Well okay. Makes me feel a little better to far I'm not missing something important.
I guess we'll see what the codex does to assist us in the coming weeks.
and then what FoC does to completely invalidate it afterwards.

>Mfw can't bring myself to try and paint it because of all the detail it has
>>
>>55236868
We have a sample size of three 40k Primarchs and other than being perhaps too big I think Magnus was spot on. As for Mortarion, have you seen his faction? When regular troopers are that baroque and crammed with detail it's kind of inevitable that he was going to have a lot going on.

Guilliman is just a mess for me though. The concept art looked good but they just completely failed the transition from 2D to 3D. Just a completely pants model in both pose and detail.

Boltguns on Sgts. Y/N? It's only one point and while im glad chainswords do something now, I seriously regrethaving so many since S3 AP- does jack shit to anything that actually charges me.

Or to rephrase the question: he much should I invest in squad sgts? Vet sgts? PCs?
>>
>>55237067
in my opinion as little as possible as they dont do much anyway(other than dieing)
>>
>>55237064
I think he means to say that most armies are balanced by GW in such a way as to make Brigade difficult to achieve at 2k.

Which I guess is true. But I play against a lot of guard and chaos so many of my opponents have easy troop spam and cheap HQs so it there me off.
>>
>>55237088
the only thing is a plasma pistol on a vet squad outfitted with plasma/melta so you have another shot for a few points
>>
>>55237088
Boltguns it is. Also I happened upon alot of dwarf sprues with Axes and Mauls on them. Any effective way to use these as Guard?
>>
>>55237067
Only if you don't have extra points you don't have any use for. As is I'd try to keep them as cheap as possible. I can see an argument for giving a Veteran Sergeant a plasma pistol though. That said, in 8th Scions do the same job as Vets but better.
>>
>>55237150
I would argue that vets do a MUCH better job in a transport or fortification though for volume of special and heavy weapons.
>>
>>55237146
you could try a melee mob that runs forward i.e. multiple guard squads but i doubt it will do much.

poweraxe is a good weapon for a commissar as it will give him S4 and still have Ap-2 so he is more useful than with a sword

sargents have only 2A making it a very questionable investment
>>
>>55237178
in a fortification MAYBE as you can only put 1 squad inside.
In a transport, 2 commandsquads and a commander for orders is king.

I've used them for deepstrike denial and little else.

If you use Abaddon or some similar character to make them fearless and spam a bunch of them it does become a pain in the ass. Without that they aren't really a big deal.

2 is part of Lion's base. They're basing it on his main piece of art, which is him emering from deep within the rock, fully battle-plated and armed, and ready to fuck up his sons for being retards.

Look at number 8. The lion has in its mouth a symbol that looks like an anvil, but also a bird.

It's the Ironwing icon. It's very fitting for the Lion to wear this symbol upon his reemergence, since the Ironwing was created originally by the Emperor himself.

At 12", with 1/18 chance to blow up d3 Wounds.

With "guarantee 10 Mortal Wounds" that's almost a Perils every 2 turns.
