I'm getting back into wargaming after not playing at all since I was in high school and while I've settled on AoS for now thanks to a more active local scene, I used to play 40k and the setting / miniatures were always a bit more interesting to me than the fantasy side, so I strongly considered starting 40k back up too. Looking at lists and stuff now after being out of the loop for so long, it seems completely different - it looks like doing a "fluffy" list is basically noncompetitive for most armies, and most lists look like a weird jumble of cross-faction units and allies with no real theme / cohesion to it. I used to like Death Guard back in the day but the "DG" lists I'm seeing have like zero plague marines and are using Thousand Sons marines and cultists and stuff instead. Is that just the current state of the game, or is that just the hyper-competitive tournament scene where everything is min-maxed as much as possible? Can you still make faction-themed armies that are competitive for LGS play, or would it basically be condemning yourself to constant losses?

How popular is Kill Team in you guys' experience? Most of my attempts to get into 40k when I was younger were thwarted by me being an insanely slow painter and also getting tired of painting the same units over and over, which meant I never got enough points together to do anything with. The small squad aesthetic of Kill Team is super appealing to me for lots of reasons but I'm not sure how many people actual play it.

Airbrush chat a few pages ago was super helpful, but I had one quick question: how often do the Badger brushes go on sale and how cheap do they get? I don't want to spend money I don't need to spend but I also don't want to wait like 6 months to save $10 or something.

Are Grey Knights getting new minis or something? Seems like they've been completely out of stock on GW's store for a good while now and with all the space marine scale creep they definitely look a little dainty now. I kinda want to make a GK Kill Team that I can work on until there's ever an opportunity to play again, but I don't want to be finishing them off right as a new line drops.

I like that they seem to have toned down the insane amount of janky spikes and poo poo they were sticking all over the plague marines there for a while. A lot of newer GW models are so busy that they aren't even really fun to paint and just kinda look like indistinct jumbles of color.

Speaking of Death Guard, wtf why did they discontinue the easy-build Plague Marines? I was gonna pick some up when I finally stopped being broke for Kill Team and the models look way better than the regular plague marine box. Why is this company so full of dumb assholes.Sab669 posted:I'm having a really hard time getting settled on a paint scheme, and the extra bones and tentacles and everything sure do make it tough to pull something together that I like Dig that armor, makes him look like a bottle fly.
