Proletariat Beowulf posted:Completed my custom partly-MDF Necron Pylon's prime job just before a week of rain moved in, so that's up next. I also landed a better Illuminator Szeras model from WargamesExclusive, and am not certain whether it would be worse to paint Robotits or to expend the considerable effort modeling them off. I assume we're talking about the Black Widow model? Its chest isn't particularly egregious (certainly not as bad as their lychguard chests), Also, as i've said before ITT, the fact that we're talking about actual bodies and not armor means it's entirely feasibly for a sentient Necron Lord to want to be more feminine/represent their pre-enslaved gender. Just like how there are Lords with a bunch of goofy jewelery and headdresses despite leading a mostly non-sentient culture with few allies to flaunt them at.

Why do the deathwatch chapter tactics still only apply to infantry/bikes/dreads. It seems so inexplicable that other than space marines/chaos space marines chapter tactics equivalents apply to the entire army, but space marines (who are usually portrayed as a combined arms force) don't get it on their vehicles.

That is indeed “just like” jewelry, since no other organism uses any visual cues to signify status to any additional organisms unless they’re sentient members of the same species.

Yeah it's such a weird decision choice and I don't know why they've persisted with it. The minute they wrote the Guard book and went "well, we need to give bonuses to infantry and tanks because people will want to play both" they should have realised they hosed up and just erratad all Marines.

And they'd definitely want to replicate the secondary sexual characteristics of an inferior race which is squatting on their worlds. Tittycrons is 100% fetish fuel, they're loving skeletons.

Tittycrons is 100% fetish fuel, they're loving skeletons. Do we even know what necrons looked like pre-enslavement? Considering the majority of non-swarm races in 40k have two genders it seems reasonable to assume necrons were the same. You never get this kind of reaction to models with giant dick cannons, it's weird. They're sentient crazy robot lords who randomly decide "I want a tank for legs" or "I want to be a spider" or "I want a giant cybercape" or "I want a single giant eye", but the chestplate of their expendable body is off-limits. It's like the crazy reactions to suggesting girls could be space marines, but somehow even more silly.

It's a problem with how Eldar are portrayed as well although at least with the Eldar it could be hand waved away with reference to the Old Ones monkeying with the genetics of both the Eldar and humans. It's terrible science fiction, just like the rest of 40k.

Rules question: Can you use a stratagem on a unit BEFORE they disembark from a transport? Rules read that; a unit that disembarks, even if it doesn't move further during that phase, counts as having moved for rules purposes. Also that they cannot effect or be effected by abilities whilst within the transport. Do Stratagems count as an ability for rules purposes?

Here is the difference: boys and girls skeletons are almost the same. Boobs don't have bones in them. Don't give me that 'what did the race even look like????' poo poo, the design is inspired by human skeletons despite the lore of them predating humans because it's a game and people like relatable things. Skeletons don't have boobs. Stop this madness.

Like, if we're talking the rank-and-file then yeah it's silly to randomly give some of them tits (unless we're talking a silly Furies gimmick army) considering they aren't sentient and the lords dont care about them beyond as a resource. But the lords? They've done far wackier stuff to themselves already.General Olloth posted:Here is the difference: boys and girls skeletons are almost the same. Boobs don't have bones in them. That's their basic design for when they were C'Tan slaves, yeah. But now they're free and can do whatever they like to their malleable bodies. Skeletons dont have mono-eyes and eight legs, either.

There's certainly a problem in nerd communities WRT female representation, but I dont think "deranged immortal robot pharoahs that replace their bodies with impractical poo poo on a whim" is the place to draw the line. For whatever it's worth, I'm currently sculpting a leatherdaddy stand-in for Zarakynel, complete with Andrew Christian levels of package. This isnt a case of me wanting titty girl miniatures.

Every time I start to object to so many aliens being even humanoid, it gets preempted by my objection at enough aliens running on compatible amino acids for the tyranids to be able to eat everything. Or my objection at all the alien life running on what we’d call organic chemistry, for that matter. Really it’s “bad science fiction” all the way down. Clearly the 40k galaxy is a pansporia situation and most of the humanoid races were created and spread by the Old Ones.

All the aliens don't look like humans, it's just that humans and all the other aliens look like the seeders*. *:

Separated from the overall context of nerd culture it's strange to be cool with sculpts with enormous spine-breaking dick cannons, but aesthetic disposable robot torsos are something to flip out at.

I'm finally buying my first army, and I've decided on Tyranids. I'm looking to drop $400-450 on my first purchase, and I'm wondering what I should buy. What I come up with so far is this: 2 x Start Collecting! Tyranids = $150 2 x (12) Termagant box = $50 2 x (12) Hormagaunt box = $50 1 x Hive Tyrant = $45 2 x (3) Venomthropes = $110 Total = $410ish I plan to make the Venomthropes into 5 Zoanthropes and a Neurothrope. I would by a Carnifex box, but everyone seems to be sold out. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

What I come up with so far is this: Hello fellow new nids player. I got in to the hobby about six months ago. – Hive Guard are a very safe bet and probably our best shooting unit atm with the shoot twice strategem. – With a little bit of ingenuity and some green stuff you can also use the leftover parts from the Zoanthropes/Neurothropes to make 6 Venomthropes too. I used Gargoyle tails to do it. – I'd personally consider making 2x Neurothropes and 4x Zoanthropes from the boxes. Neuro's are our cheapest HQ and are amazing at filling out detachments. – Magnetising the Hive Tyrant with 6*2mm magnets takes a bit of effort, but is really worth it for (a) the different options you can put on them and (b) storage/transport (the wings are loving huge). Storage/transport is a bit of an issue for nids because they're weird sizes. – Carnifexes are great too, and also benefit from magnetisation. I'd say they're actually a good "starter model" to get magnetising. – Whether you make Trygons or Mawlocs from the start collecting boxes is personal preference. I've never had much luck with Trygons but Mawlocs are amazing. YMMV.
