Played a game earlier using the new 11th rules. We sort of muddled a 10th ed mission with one of the new layouts. Overall it definitely feels like a better game, not that it was very hard to improve on 10th. Terrain feels better and it's great that we used no L-shaped ruins.
>>
>>98144163
I like it too, but its a crime they did not use the "standard" cadian neckjoints for them too. Sure, you can fix it with a bit of cutting and/or greenstuff, but there was simply no need to give each of the 10 bodies in that set an unique neck opening, so even switching between heads from the same set is more difficult than it should be.
Still, one of the best sets they released in the last years.

Probably have the most points in CSM, or at least chaos in general alongside some daemons and spiky knight allies.
After that it's probably a contest between Eldar and Admech. Marines would be in the running to if legends rules count, but that's mostly accumulated from starter boxes.

I just want to say that Rick Priestley was pretty clear on adding medieval christ motiffs to rogue trader and 40k when he concocted the setting.
However he's british and therefore conflict avoidaint in parley. Thus his theme: bored public school boy day dreaming whilst enjoying classical education is too subtle for the proles that infest society in major.
Really at the end of the day people who take this lore seriously are caught in a teenagers fantasy to make school enjoyable.

between those, i'd say dark angels or necrons, and necrons will probably be more fun, although dark angels will probably be easier to play. deathwatch/imperial agents is janky to build, janky to play, and they have a tenuous future going forward since GW doesnt seem to know how they want to handle them and reinvent their rules every edition.

Been toying around with some ideas here and there but nothing concrete yet. I'm kinda torn between expanding the renegade guard models I have to a more complete chaos cult/iconoclast fiefdom army, going even further and getting some tanks and stuff for them to make a full traitor guard army using IG rules, or starting a small Deathwatch force. Truly, indecision is the nigger stealing the bicycle that is my creativity.

People mishearing Valrak saying he has a rumor from his source that "Vect's slave barge is gone but is replaced by a nasty alien beast".

the points, overall have changed shockingly little since 3rd edition. most models rarely increase or decrease more than 10-20% from their core amount, despite what other people may say in hyperbole
so depending on balance, a 1k might end up swaying to 900 or 1100, but i wouldnt expect it to lose or gain half its value, even over the course of multiple editions. very very very rarely does this happen. the only recent example i can think of in the last 10 years was the leagues of votann redesign that took them from an elite low model count army to a more midsized trading army and cut their points in half, but that almost never happens, certainly not with something as long established as marines

He's actually toned down the model. GW basically just go too far with the mutations. The basic chaos infantry look amazing in both CSM and StD. A lot of the characters look really good. But the elite/mutated guys, both factions, just get too busy. And unfortunately AoS monsters are allowed to just be monsters but CSM ones have to have a bunch of meaningless mechanical bits thrown on them.

I mean, the Imperium has used exterminatus against the Tau twice now, and the first time was technically against several worlds all at once
If the Tau of all people are getting the exterminatus treatment I think it’s worth asking if the Imperium really cares about the fringe worlds at all.

NTA but we have several centuries of high art to help us see what is tasteful nudity. Unfortunetly corperate constructs of 'family friendly' made by American wacko puitans means its impossible to present an attractive man or woman naked without it being seen as pornographic

An aspect of these that people don't praise enough are the claws. The plastic daemonettes have horribly tiny wimpy claws outside of the champion and one random other model.

Quick anon hide! Hide from the nudity and the female nipples!!
Since the Imperium is built upon the idea of humanity being beatiful and the most perfect and a celebration and literal worship of the human form, their really should be nude statues of great heroes, and servitors made from good looking peoples bodys, painted gold and worshipped by the filfthy throngs. Their whole skull obession is from the idea that
>even at its most basic humanity is beautiful
yet we don't see male or female nudity being celebrated anywwhere un universe.
>>
>>98145691
The top one would be tasteful if it was a wych instead of a regular spiky dark eldar with the breastplate removed. The middle and bottom ones are NOT tasteful, the middle has hugely exaggerated proportions and is in a comic book pose, the bottom is a literal dick joke. You are cumbrained I'm afraid.

yeah, although i think most aos players would have preferred cities to remain a cosmopolitan melting pot, and just add new aos versions of the elfs and dwarfs. erasing several races from an army all at once was too heavy handed, although its not the first time (RIP pheonicium, tempests eye and living cities coalitions)

It does emphasize the neck and the line of the shoulders better, which make the head stand out even more, but the fur offers a natural place for a complementary color.
Going without the fur would require a fancier paintjob, like tribal/satanic tattoos or the top half drenched in bright red blood.

My problem with COS is that they are wy too expensive and way too complicated for a high count model army. Compere the gunners from WFB and AOS. I can imagine batch painting the Imperial Gunners. I cannot imagine the amunt of time you have to spend on the Freecitiy shooters.

Yes, but there are three LEADERS (Warboss, BigBossKept you waiting, huh, Weirdboy) and two SUPPORT units (Painboy, Bannernob) in the Ork army. So you still have one unit left without bodyguards.
Adding insult to injury, the three LEADERS are all ones you'd absolutely want to attach to a unit.

Is there an AI troll bot running around /tg/ asking for models in warhammer 40,000 threads that aren’t this general?
It’s something I’ve been noticing for a while now when I skim the catalog and check in on the other threads.
I’m not sure at this point because AI things are getting pretty good.
Like pic related. It is still AI but it is serviceable.
I know this place can be a mess so anons would rather avoid this general because of it.

Ultramarines have obligations to the wider Imperium that they still must see to. So the 500 Worlds falls to Titus (Warden of Ultramar) and the Ultramarimes under his command as well as the Shield Chapters.

The white male fighter archetype of WHF is Bretonnian knights.
And Stormcasts don't work because the entire AoS setting is soulless as fuck shite designed by committee instead of feeling like it was created organically by bunch of different creators.
The reason why WHF works and AoS doesn't is because WHF was created by historical nerds who intentionally took inspiration from history and ancient kingdoms and then applied and mixed it to create their setting. It makes the setting feel more grounded.
AoS doesn't have this because it's all vague fuckery about "muh realms" and "muh planes of existance" that are fuck huge, bigger than planet type things. Ad still on top of this, there's also at the same time an infinite amount of these "realms" out there. Which makes the setting feel way less grounded or even "familiar".
So people instantly go "What the fuck?" and then don't bother.

I never understand why people would form such strong opinions about things they clearly know nothing about. AoS lore is already shit by itself, but you don't know the literal first thing about it. You just made up another version of it to get mad about instead.or more likely, you're just repeating what somebody on /twg/ told you 10 years ago

>>98147361
WHF failed not because it was a bad or boring setting, it failed because GW was retarded constantly pumped the barrier for entry into the setting retardedly high.
Yeah, no fucking shit the game system is going to fucking DIE, when it costs like 800+ fucking dollars for a newbie to get into the fucking game.

>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>98147549
the no psychic shit is first of all a personal rule, and only secondly a societal rule for the structural integrity of commorragh.
being a psychically active eldar makes you an extremely visible and tasty target for demonic attentions coming your way, so each and every dark eldar individually chooses to atrophy their psychic nature to lay low and not attract demonic attentions, which also makes them longer lived because slaanesh is syphoning less out of them, so they revel in more shit and need to feed less and can feed for longer with fewer issues.
If an eldar were to choose to cultivate psychic powers without a way to shield its soul somehow it would either live an extremely miserable short life as slaanesh drains it fast and hard, meet an extremely gruesome end at the hands of a different demon in a more direct manner, or would require ungodly amount of "soul food" to replenish their withering soul and actively push off predatory demons.
the richest of dark eldar could probably afford it.

That's a symptom, not the cause. Nobody new was buying into whfb so gw had to find a way to squeeze more money out of the existing playerbase, hence ballooning army sizes and the whole three ranks bonus stuff to get grogs to buy more shit

Holy shit it's persecution fantasy anon again. Did you try to claim that the mean old xenosfags wanted to remove guard from the game a few days ago?
>>
>>
>>98147705
It was the main cause.
It's just the typical corpofaggotry where they hike prices up purely because they can. It was just typical retardation where the beancounters somehow get to be in charge of the company and then fucking nose dive it to SHIT, because they are more concerned about lining their fucking pockets instead of making a viable product.
And it is the EXACT SAME fucking shit that is happening with 40k now.
It's even fucking worse with 40k but every retard who plays this game are unironic fucking goycattle who just keep eating the slop and clapping like seals begging for seconds even though GW is already pulling your fucking nose hairs out and making you par 65 dollars for a box of 10 space marines.

Do you own any slapchopped plague marines by any chance?
Anyway, nope. 40k was just more popular than fantasy almost right out of the gate. The decline of fantasy can not be solely attributed to bloating army sizes, because 40k went through the exact same thing. Again, symptom not disease.
There's an interview with alan merrett on youtube (by jordan sorcery I believe) where he talks about this quite a bit. They invested a lot in fantasy to try and bring it back up but it just wasn't selling anywhere close to 40k, and at a certain point they just couldn't justify it anymore financially. Keep in mind this was in the dark days of 2006-2016 where gw was stagnating hard, even 40k itself wasn't doing too hot. Apparently there was a real consideration of just cutting fantasy entirely and shifting to "becoming a 40k company".

I avoid buying armies I don't already have even if the deal is good because otherwise I'd be spending liek 400 bucks a month buying random shit like the Lizardman army spearhead for only 100 dollars or the entire Nachmund Fronteris terrain for only 108 dollars.
But I guess if you want to plan ahead to buy a Drukhari refresh box in 1 year and have the ravager there, or use it as terrain or a prop where your army has blow it in half or something that's good too.

GSC is a bad horde army because the fodder units are far too detailed. Anyone who has painted them knows what I am talking about.

>>98148122
Eldar fans are frequently the ones to point out "Erm, akshully the Imperium is BAD!" when other people are talking about parts of the Imperiun they like. They're insufferable retards, driven by the fact their favorite faction has been relegated to unimportant background roles after an entire existence of failures.
The major irony of this being that Eldar were the ones who spawned Slaanesh, which is what directly led to the current situation in 40k. They're so desperate to point out the flaws in other factions despite being fans of the most blatantly and abhorrently flawed faction in the setting.
They're petty, obnoxious, and ignorant at best, and when you point this out they get just as haughty and defensive as the Eldar themselves despite having no ground to stand on.

I've literally never seen people say that outside of contexts where retarded imperiumfags are making unironic claims about imperium being morally righteous or some retarded shit like that.
And even then it is usually Tau players who start arguing about the moralfaggot shit.
I for one, don't feel any need to argue who has the moral highground in 40k because everyone being giga bastards against each other is the fucking point. I love my genocidal race supremacist space elves very much. Mon'keigh vermin deserve nothing but wholesale eradication from rightful eldar maiden worlds.

>Eldar were the ones who spawned Slaanesh
But aren't CWE and Exodites the eldar who didn't want to partake in the hedonism and noped the fuck out of the ancient eldar empire? If anything the dark eldar should be the ones shouldering the most blame for gooning slaanesh into existence, since their society basically is just a unbroken continuation of that culture. Yet it always seems to be when people are talking about craftworld eldar that they say "Erm, akshully the elves are BAD because you made slaanesh!"
>>
>>
>>98148131
Craftworld Eldar specificially are not the eldar whose behavior spawned Slaanesh. They are the ones who told other eldar that this shit was bad, tried to save as many of their people as they could and then fled when it became apparent that there was no stopping the doom of their civilization. Dark Eldar are the descendants of the culture whose behavior spawned slaanesh.
>>
>>
>>98148176
Wow, look at the Eldar fan acting exactly as expected, and yet he still wonders why nobody likes him or his faction.
>>98148177
All of them were responsible, either from neglect or ignorance. They ran away instead of fighting it.
It's like if the Siege of Terra occured and the loyalists simply ran away. They would be just as much to blame for what would have happened next.
>>
>>
>>98148177
>>98148179
Blaming Craftworld eldar for Slaanesh is standard behavior for disengenious imperiumfags. They either don't know the actual lore of the setting or just don't care as the primary reason for that blame game is so they can justify their retarded and unfounded feelings of moral superiority.

You are the one pretending that imperium is somehow morally righteous when the lore of the setting explicitly paints the Imperium as a horrifying dystopia. I am not the one trying to portray the eldar as something they aren't, I fully own the fact that they are arrogant race supremacists, it is imperiumfags like you who for some retarded reason have to pretend that "um actually, the imperium is good!" when entire point of the fucking setting is that the Imperium is a horrifying shithole where human life has zero fucking value.
>>
>>
>>98148186
>>98148197
You literally do not know the lore. It has been stated for ages in Eldar codexes that the Craftworld eldar descend from the ones who warned about the impending doom, and how the ruling classes who were part of the hedonistic pleasure cult shit ingnored those warnings, seeing the ancestors of the Craftworlders as foolish moral puritans.
You are essentially complaining that the Craftworlders didn't stick around and die with the rest of their race when Slaanesh was born.

>>98148186
>All of them were responsible, either from neglect or ignorance.
Does this also mean the emperor is responsible for empowering the chaos gods by neglecting or ignoring the warlords and armies he created get corrupted? He ran away to go work on his science fair project instead of micromanaging 18 dudes.

Another imperiumfag delusion right there. DAOT humanity was not capable of winning against the pre-fall Eldar. The pre-fall eldar were the undisputed masters of the galaxy for 60 million years, which is precisely why they fell into decadence and hedonism, as there was nothing in the galaxy that could challenge their dominion.

DAOT was too busy fighting off the Men of Iron, and eventually became too separated to stop the Eldar BECAUSE of Slaanesh hampering Warp travel.

Why waste time fighting with prey when you can just go for the kill on the easy targets?

Incorrect. The Eldar did not fight against rhe pleasure cults to stop Slaanesh. The Emperor did fight the Traitors to stop Chaos.

You fundamentally misunderstand the setting, like most Eldar fans, and that makes you unworthy of arguing with any more.

>>
>>98148247
In what why am I missunderstanding the setting, dipshit? By not buying the retarded tourist bs copium about how Imperium is totally justified in it's actions and everything it does due to muh xenos and chaos? The only people who spout that nonsense are fags that hate the idea of Imperium being just a legitimate dystopia, that is kept aloft solely by the inertia of it's sheer size. The horrifying dystunctional retardation of the imperium is the fucking point, tryign to blame the state of the imperium solely on muh chaos & xenos is missing the fucking point. Humanity in 40k has degraded and regressed into a state of ignorance, superstition and fanatical dogmatism, and the imperium is just as often to blame for it's shit state than it's foes are. It is a dysfunctional and tyrannical dystopia, where 99 percent of humanity lives in absolute squalor, and are ruled by noble families who have basically no checks and ballances on how they treat their subjects. The very structure of the imperium itself creates massive suffering for the imperial populace, and no xenos or chaos influence can be blamed for that.

>>98148247
>The Emperor did fight the Traitors to stop Chaos
Nope. By your own standards the Emperor is still responsible. You said:
>either from neglect or ignorance
>ignored the issue until it was too big to ignore
The emperor knew chaos existed, he knew that some of his sons were dysfunctional retards. He was either ignorant of what his creations were up to or simply ignored it until it was too big to ignore.

I kind of want a sect of chaos worshipping eldar THAT ARENT DRUKHARI that decided to serve one of the other 3 gods as a way of protecting themselves from slaanesh
Like they serve tzeentch and in return he prevents them from getting slurped up or something.
Well we already know some of them worship Khaine, who is just Khorne. Or he used to be. I don't know if that was retconned
>>
>>98148283
The Emperor knew the threat of Chaos and also knew that revealing it could have disastruous consequences. Do you think Kurze, Angron, or Lorgar would hesitate for a second to cast their lots in with the Chaos Gods, even if only to spite him?
And all signs now point to the past 10,000 years having been part of the Emperor's plan, to cast out the Dark King and establish a new path of ascension to save Humanity.
>>
>>98148289
The Eldar didn't create men of iron, nor did they force DAOT humanity to act like cunts towards other alien races which exacted their vengeance of humanity during the age of strife.
Also, the craftworld eldar tired to warn the Emperor about Horus but were ignored.
>>
>>
>>98148292
Khorne and khaine were never the same in 40k that's different from fantasy. In fact khorne "saved" khaine from getting eaten by slaanesh because he wanted to claim him for himself. And from both chaos gods trying to snatch him he was teared to a thousand pieces, thus getting shattered in a thousand avatars.
>>
>>98148297
So now you're saying that half his armies turning to chaos, his empire falling apart, mankind being thrust into a dark age, and his own state of living death were all according to keikaku? So he willfully empowered the dark gods and fucked the whole human race right in the ass on purpose. Very impressive.

Remember in Asurmans backstory he spends several years after the Fall in some temple and outside there are eldar cultiusts who sacrifice people and just mad people just in the streets so it wasn't a 'everyone died all at once on every world' but a more drawn out event.

Yeah, I also like the idea of the Ynnari but the more I dig into their actual lore the less I like them. Like, they poised them perfectly to make established Craftworld, Harlequins, and Dark Eldar players all hate them and did nothing to try to set them up as their own thing instead making them borrowed assets with some weird leaders. No generic leaders is a fucking sin, too. They did it again with Corsairs and I don't know why they ever think it's a good idea to tie an entire faction to a single named character.
