Can I add a quick suggestion to do a pass on the OP and make sure every army has a mention on how they tend to play? Some do, some don't, but when I first looked at the ham thread I wanted to know which armies did what between shooty/slashy/magic and if they tend to be horde, elite, or medium model count. OP is incredible and I appreciate the work, I just think that might help new folks.

I've heard some edge case stories of assholes that make it seem like a good idea to clarify that rule, as laughable as it may be.

Is there a painting guide for the Dark Imperium Death Guard? I'm grabbing my box later today and want to get paints at the same time.

I guess Death Guard Green is new so I couldn't find an actual conversation a anywhere but I grabbed Vallejo Air Cement Grey which looks incredibly similar.

chutche2 posted:I thought I read something about them loving around with this for 10k years and some of these primaris guys have been in tubes suspended for that time? I'm sure they can retcon it that there was a trial run of primaris marines during the post siege of terra cleanup. Bobby G and Cawl put this plan into motion in the 30k era and I think that's when most of them went into their EZ Bake chambers but Cawl wasn't ready for debut until recently IIRC.

BeigeJacket posted:How are these new morale rules playing out? Looks like MSU might suffer if they lose a dude, roll badly and *poof* rest of the squad disappears. MSU is mathematically and practically more resilient to morale checks. You lost most of a small unit and then roll poorly on morale it may get wiped out, but you're still likely losing fewer models overall. 9 wounds plus a morale check into a 10 man Space Marine Squad is taking fewer models off the table than it would into 30 man unit. They incentivize blobs with units like Commissars to circumvent morale checks, or things that make Morale easier to pass like Mob Rule. Also people do realize losing models to Morale is supposed to abstract them breaking and fleeing the battle, right?

I am physically capable of assembling a multi pose model but have no idea how to make it look good, so I like monopose but would be real happy with something in the middle.

Badcast Bad Boy checking in, I just bought the Blood Angel jump pack chaplain for $33. I don't like more than $25 for a single dude but $35 doesn't seem that much of a stretch. The $40 AoS warboss is my break point where it feels gross.

JesusIsTehCool posted:I doubt this is true and it is likely just an attempt to convince people that its ok to buy kits with old marines in them (I wouldn't) Why not? Squatmars are cool looking models, are currently supported, and if they lose support in the future you can just play your old Marines as Primaris. Seems like a low risk purchase to me.

Guilliman's superpower is not being plot stupid and everyone calls him a Mary Sue for it  RagnarokAngel posted:Horus's betrayal honestly only works if the Emperor is emotionally attached to his sons. I prefer it that they started out as tools, but slowly he gained respect for them and saw them as people. It's almost as if Master of Mankind is kind of not a good book.

The astronomicon just makes it safer. My suggestion was that the Emperor isn't actually still maintaining the Astronomicon because he's loving dead.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:I'm not sure if I like how the bone came out. The original concept had it a lot more pale. I might try a heavy white drybrush to see what happens. I really like Reaper Aged + Polished bone since they are a much more bleached look than GW Ushabti/Screaming. I get frustrated occasionally at how wet/loose they are in comparison to Citadel thiccness but Polished Bone especially gives that clean white bone.

New Mortarion sucks because his head/face sculpt looks near indistinguishable from the other new Plague Boys and he should take have something more distinct going on instead of a generic cowl and gas mask. He should have the high gorget for huffing guys farts instead.

I found it to be so fiddly, and have such small points of contact for the glue, that I had to resort to drastic cutting under the cloak and still wound up with a ghastly gap in his robes. They had an entire segment on a recent IC podcast about how lovely assembling him is. It's not just you.

TBF to Carl he had just lost a friend and was clearly messed up over it. Any level of people being crass about it was probably too much to deal with let alone anyone being a outright antagonistic.

Rhaegar posted:So I'm seriously considering picking up Warhammer Quest Silver Tower and the Start Collecting Tzeentch set so I can start a Tzeentch army. I see that there's a Tzeentch battletome but what about rules for Tzeentch in Warhammer 40k 8th edition? Will they eventually release a Tzeentch codex? Tzeench isn't getting their own book in the near future and recently lost a ton of spells going from 7th-8th but AFAIK are still in a very good place. The end of 7th gave them some incredibly good new toys in a revamped Lord of Change and Magnus the Red. The latter has no AoS rules but likely no one would bat an eye if you wanted to call him a Lord of Change or Daemon Prince in AoS.

Zark the Damned posted:It's more about not supporting a company that thinks its OK to produce those minis. I hate to be devil's advocate for gently caress models, but what's not okay about it? I think companies actually producing games should be conscious about making their models gross and sexual but if third parties want to fill niche for horned up weirdos I don't see it as "not okay." I get not wanting to support a company you see as distasteful, I'm just curious about the wording.
