Wtf? That was quite a decent 30k thread and barely a week old. Time for a new combined 40k and 30k thread with an updated OP?

New thread would be pretty cool, this one's getting a little long in the tooth. Update the old OP with the newer codexes, jam in that 30k one and we're good to go.

The mental image of some grognard frothing at the mouth when he realizes that there is ANOTHER thread about loving GAMES WORKSHOP GAMES in his otherwise PRISTINE heaven of a subforum is actually pretty enjoyable for me. "NYOOOOO!!" *spits on computer screen*

So it was a mods thing not someone just being a bell end? Find it weird that one of the biggest tabletop launches of the year can't have it's own thread. Was there a reason given?

30k Question: Is there any particularly tasty units worth taking with the Rewards of Treason for Alpha Legion? Currently gravitating towards grabbing some Tyrant Siege Termis as they were my main draw to play Iron Warriors, though kinda tempted to take Gal Vorbak for an excuse to paint them up.

Is there anyway to get the formatting from a gassed thread? I spent a couple hours putting it together and it'd be kind of a bummer if I couldn't add it to the next 40k thread or whatever.

Basically anything that would be busted with Infiltrate, that will also help make up for your weak Troops section, is a good choice. Tyrant Siege, Firedrakes, Suzerain, Gal Vorbak, things that can grab attention and survive the weight of fire they'll receive are where you want to be looking. Kit 'em up, buy their dedicated Land Raider or Spartan or whatever, and let the rest of your army (there won't be much) mop up whatever smears your Treasonous Smashfuckers leave behind.

Wow really!? The 30k thread was such a breath of fresh air and you didn't have to listen to everyone bitch about how bad GW is and why 40k sucks compared to *insert new upcoming tabletop game*. gently caress you mods.

I'll be happy to modify the OP in whatever way you all would like, maybe we can convince a mod to alter the title accordingly. When I get a little time I'll update some of the army info in the OP to reflect additions/changes. It would be swell if we could somehow contain the GW complaints to the death thread, where they belong, kind of like how specific political candidate slap-fighting is disallowed from the general political threads. Become the change you want to see in the thread and post awesome 30K/40K pictures and batreps.

Shame about the 30k thread. That was a nice OP Panascope.Fumble posted:I have a sever personality disorder and a anxiety disorder and get wound up about a lot of things but never words on the internet, people should either thicker skin or read a different forum. World Eaters are easy. FW has a decent legion painting guide on their website that I use, but it's basically this: 1) Basecoat white 2) Wash with a 25/25/50 mix of drakenhof nightshade, nuln oil and flow aid. This produces a grey/blue wash 3) Either sponge on a diluted coat of ceramite white, or do what I do and drybrush on Praxeti white, with a final touch of dilute ceramite white where needed. Blue is easy; any mid blue (I use the old ultramarines blue) with a drakenhof nightshade wash. There are a number of ways to do the brass on their armour; I go with warplock bronze, wash with agrax earthshade and then add a sloppy runelord brass highlight and a more spare sycorax bronze one. I'm using GW paints because that is mostly what I have (though VGC is awesome and cheaper too) but don't feel constrained to only that range; use what you are comfortable with. Whatever feels good, man. Some examples:  Legion Praetor  Terminators  More terminators  Angron  Contemptor, XII Legion bowling champion.  Red Butchers, WIP. The greyish looking dude on the left is what a formerly white miniature looks like after the wash. Please pardon the horrorshow that is my work table.

Hihohe posted:Are there eldar in 30k? If there are, are they not broken? The Eldar were ravaged by the Fall which brought the emergence of Slaanesh and the Eye of Terror, leaving very few to interact with humanity as it regained control of the stars. With the exception of the Cabal and some bit players with some farseering there aren't many Eldar around at the time. The only Eldar that would have any level of power during this period are the Exodites, but they likely had no interest in leaving their Maiden Worlds or interacting with the monkeigh.

 PSA for all you 30K hams- the red legion book is getting updated sometime early next year. My bet is after the release of the new heresy book. If I was a thrifty ham I'd sell mine around the time the shattered legion book comes out so the new one costs you way less.Hihohe posted:Are there eldar in 30k? If there are, are they not broken? You can always run Eldar using the AOD rules which will make them a bit less crazy, but at the end of the day that entire codex is a problem.

I don't think that's necessarily true. The Eldar were as they are now, though completely shell-shocked as a race and scattered. I don't think there's anything to say that they are more numerous in the 40k timeline than they were in the 30k and a lot to suggest the opposite.

I didn't mean the Eldar rebuilt their numbers, more like they were a broken race reeling from near-extinction and didn't have the capacity at the time to mount any proper offense. Also, apparently the new 30K box set has been labeled "Core set" in Games Workshop shipping/sales manifests, which is a strong indication we'll be getting more sweet 30K plastics in the future!

Man I hope this is true. I wish GW would just stop being coy and tell us if the Betrayal box is gonna be a limited edition thing or not, none of the GW staff I know know if it's gonna be a permanent product or not either. It'd be nice to know if I have to franticly flog Magic cards to scrape up the cash for next week or if it's gonna be around after.

As great as the idea is of sneaking a giant murderbot onto the battlefield might be I think I've developed a big stupid boner for the Alpha Legion and their unit-stealing shenanigans (and their double-secret "I deploy like an old school Greater Daemon" Primarch). Will either end up taking Suzerain squads or Dark Furies (which were the only units I really like out of the Raven Guard), but I'm gonna work on the basics of the new box first.

It could be labeled 'core set' as it will mean that independent retailers would be required to stock it by their trade agreement to always stock product from the core set. This not only encompasses the main game box sets, but things like Tactical squads and Paint sets.
