I'd try using some washes and drybrushing. You can get good results very quickly with metallics that way.
steps:
1 spraycan silver basecoat
2 wash Basilicanum Grey liberally over the model. It sinks into the recesses and does a lot of the work for you.
3 drybrush heavily with a midtone silver (Leadbelcher). The drybrushing catches the edges and complements the recessed ink
4 drybrush lightly with a brighter silver (such as Stormhost Silver)

bam, done. That's basically what I did with this Forgefiend. The bronze parts are iirc Nazdreg Yellow painted over the silver after the drybrushing was done.';

'>>92594297
Carnivores are 55 points and have scout 7" and are OC2 now. Farstalkers are a bit more expensive at 80 points and have infiltrator. They're great disruptors. If you want to beef these guys up, the new shapers have some great abilities:
>trail shaper lets you put the unit into reserves at the end of deployment phase and can skulk like termagants
>war shaper lets you use a stratagem on the unit for 0cp, and can clear a battleshock

I'm enjoying my Blood Angel army, but why are the units so fucked up? The internal balance makes no sense. Dreadnoughts costs 130 points for what seems to be an okay unit, but once you start comparing them to the other dreads, especially the Ballistus, it quickly becomes obvious there is no reason to run standard Dreadnoughts. The reduced defense profile and 6" move instead of 8" makes no sense whatsoever at that price point. It's especially annoying as a Blood Angel, because Furioso Dreads, the hyper aggressive melee version, is ALSO saddled with a 6" move and reduced defensive profile and it's only 25pts cheaper then a Brutalis. The only two Dreadnoughts worth a damn seem to be the Ballistis and Death Company Dread. Why is the internal balance of a single range of units so absolutely fucked?';

The armor is there to make sure you arent taken out by shrapnel or other weapon damage not aimed at you. If a guardsmen wasnt wearing kevlar and flak then just the simple act of being near an explosion would probably render most of them out of action.
Its to keep them fighting for as long as possible, against most forces theres no such thing as injuries for normal humans. You either dont get shot or you nearly instantly die. The armor is to keep the options to just that.
For higher tier soldiers like Marines, the ceramite will stop most fire. Even against Necron's disintegration tech it protects them from most standard weaponry, though nothing outside of forcefields is going to stop higher powered weaponry.
Power armor also has the added benefit of making the user stronger and stable too.';

Something like marine power armour could make some sense in reality. If the tech worked as described worked then it might be useful for clearing houses and tunnels against small arms fire at least. Guard flak armour makes sense for protecting against shrapnel. I actually saw a Russian military analysis essentially advocating for armour that doesn't bother to stop bullets are just focuses on full body protection against shrapnel from artillery and grenade-dropping drones. The armour they recommended looks like some medieval suit of cloth armour like you see in some guard regiment in artwork.

The mecha suit is dumb because you are designing something for a purpose and then undermining that purpose very visually obvious manner. Her arm gets shot off and then you can't administer first aid because she's stuck in a big mech suit so she bleeds out and dies. I don't kind that much, I forgive it and like the models overall.';

Orders his men to charge the Orks and gives up his fortified position to fight them on open ground. And what was the result? His entire squad, himself included, killed just second before reinforcements arrive. And his order resulted in the loss of a dreadnought, which is a pretty serious blow to any space marine chapter.

Everything you said is wrong and I will personally kill you.

Should you choose to ignore me I highly recommend you put a gloss varnish over your acrylic base coat since that will not only stop the enamel wash from bleeding into the paint but also make it flow effortlessly into details. I don't recommend doing minis in lacquer either for many reasons I will not bother to explain.

I've personally said it many times in this thread, the key to brainless white is white primer -> dry brush a white adjacent color on (ie white gray) -> wash/contrast paint into recesses -> color over the excess/mistakes with the earlier white adjacent color.

The lacquer -> enamel wash method works really poorly on small detailed models but it DOES work on vehicles FYI as long as it isn't chaos shit.';

But the Tau are much more straightforwardly asian inspired in culture, with the Greater Good and Sphere Expansions being direct references to Imperial Japan's "GREATER EAST ASIAN CO-PROSPERITY SPHERE", and their human auxilarries are called Gue'La when chinks call whites "Gweilo", even their accents in media are pseudo-asian.';

Maybe, I rather liked how 40k equipment ended up in Fantasy, and I think some of Fantasy’s spells ended up in 40k in some White Dwarf battles. I do know that in Fantasy, deep in the Chaos Wastes, bordering the realm of the gods, 40k titans are said to be marching around, with Hashut’s chosen, the Chaos Dwarfs, being the only beings in the setting that can actually utilize such things, but since it’s all deep warp daemon storm of magic bullshit, these titans just stride the Wastes blowing shit to kingdom come. Also in some neat ancient lore, the Chaos Dwarfs were suppose to have had dealings with the Chaos Squats, so pulling over Hashut, even if he was different, would have had some more sense to it. Malal is already present as Malice. Not sure how the horned rat would work out though.';

In a flip of that view, a high ranking Empire Wizard had the whole of the 40k universe in a glass bottle/jar that he would watch. I always liked that idea, as it’s some real warp fuckery that Fantasy is a Planet in 40k, and 40k is some sea monkey tank to some “ole tobby” smoking wizard.

Fuck, reminds me of some lore page I got form I think WFB 7th Edition, it’s about a Chaos Dwarf mechanical siege tower that changes shapes for different needs, it’s the only one capable of freely leaving the Chaos Wastes, but it’s very tolling on the machine (Daemon Energy), that it’s hardly ever seen.

They lost six special rules, 3 which dictated their ability to survive in melee (fights first, -1 to hit, saves against devastating wounds).
Nearly everything increased in points while also receiving massive nerfs.
Auric Champions detachment incentivizes you to take characters, but there are no battle tactics stratagems, so only two of them can be used for free with the shield captain: go to ground or reroll for command points.
Trajan nerfed from 'ignore modifiers' to 'ignore modifiers to BS, WS and hit rolls'.

The whole GW shipping thing is so esotheric. They overship parts of US and Western Europe, and undership every place else. And by the way I am not saying that there is an easy fix or that they could do a lot better. It is just crazy to watch when they design a codex around a specific interaction (inq draxus and custodes guards). And one part of the world says, that they are drowning in Draxus models no one wants, while the other says they can't order even a single one.
Indomitus and , I know this is mind blowing, Leviathan were undershipped to eastern europe. Stores in the west are caving in under those two and the unsold AoS starters, while we got two pallets for the entire country of each. All it does is to drive people to recast, but that kills the local FLGS, and without those, at least in my part of the world, the game is dead within 6-12 month. Covid already did in a ton of stores that weren't getting any shipments (odd how GW can't send stores stuff, but can send it to private buyers located in the same street). I have a worrying idea how this+the FOMO boxes going to end for the hobby here. But as long as US and UK sales are good, I am just a dude from a region companies like GW or Hasbro don't care about.

how autistic would it be to compile the lore into some kind of document?';

It should be an HQ, a special HQ, a troop, elite option and a chaff. But who knows maybe GW will go hog wild and pull not a 1ksons/WE with the EC, but rather the DG (and yes I know 0% for that to happen, because for it to be a thing EC would have to be in the edition vs marines set).

I just wait for GW to bring back cataphract and tartaros terminators, and fix DA so I can play my DW again. Or at least make the intercessor swarm viable again. I will just maginetize my tacticals to bigger bases and have a working army.';

GW I think has ridden the DEI wave well up to this point, putting blacks and women in without too much fuss. But seems the Custodes change has had a knock on effect. But the other setting fanbases seem fine with the DEI insertion. Will 40k survive?';

>So is GW at risk of imploding? Or is it just grifters jumping on the bandwagon?
the latter, it should say something that the grifters ONLY talk about GW stuff when its pointed out elsewhere, with their fanbases circle jerking whiile saying "thats what you get for going broke"

its because the grifter crowd had to accept black marines to hold the preverbal line at no female marines, 40ks core fanbase doesn't care ultimately';

Do you maybe want to read "Fire Overwatch"s description. Its very clear how it interacts with modifiers like stealth's -1';

What's your interpretation?';

We wouldn't know anything factual for close to a year.
James releases financial reports twice a year, next one is in june (I think) and it will include things up to march/april. Any actual blowback shareholders and the C-suit pay attention to will not be in that report simply because it happened at the tail end of April and wouldn't make the time cut.
So we have to wait for the report after that one to know for sure what (if any) influence on GW financials the femstodes reveal had.';

except for saving throws, you cannot modify a throw so that a natural 6 fails';
