When were Dark Eldar invented? (I don't mean in-universe, I mean in Nottingham).

As an army? I wanna say they debuted in 3rd edition. So like '98?

Like, in the lore? There are so many Ultramarine successor chapters that can come help the Ultramarines at a moment's notice it's ridiculous. Then there's their support fleets and auxiliaries...

"At a moment's notice" may be pushing it. Those chapters all have protectorates and wars/defenses they are currently pursuing, and many cannot drop everything and book for Ultramar unless they are happy to let whole sectors get eaten by Tyranids, swamped with rowdy orks or socialized by the T'au.

Add in the vagaries of warp travel and it may be weeks, months or even years before significant reinforcemernts arrive. Unless the plot needs them to get there immediately, of course!

I'm just basing that assumption on how many successors Dante was able to muster when it came to the defense of Baal prior to the arrival of Hive Fleet Leviathan.

And the Ultramarines defended Macragge against Leviathan by themselves with the help of a Battle Fleet, a Titan Legion and the Ultramar Auxilia.

You see the data as an indication that there needs to be more balancing done in 10E.

They see it as an opportunity convince people to buy Space Elves:

Is there a good resource for seeing what citadel paints work as a highlight for other paints? I'm painting my 10th edition box as Hive Fleet Behemoth but I want to do a gross pale flesh for the symbiotic weapons and I'm not sure I'll pick the right paints.

Ya there's an old chart from 2016. It might be useful but obviously doesn't include any of the new paints that've been added since then.

If printing and shipping issues are the reason why the codices have staggered releases, I wish GW would rocket into the 21st century and just not tie rules to physical things

I feel bad for 40K Emperors Children players. Why does GW hate them so much? They finally get an amazing Demon Prince Fulgrim and...it's for 30k. Which is awesome for 30K Emps Children players but the 40K ones...I guess they can proxy him in their armies?

Not at all. Even the Nazis weren't Nazis about it:



Between different manufacture, variation in materials, uneven wear, and a hundred other factors, "uniform" uniforms are probably the least realistic thing you could paint.

Sure but at least these all look like Nazi uniforms and that they all belong to the same army of shitheads.

They're from 1994. Them and the couple of other Eldar holdouts from that same release are literally the second oldest models sold by GW.

The oldest is the Skaven plague priest from 1993

Ya, that's about as perfect of a Skaven as you can get. Does anyone know who the sculptor was?

Dude was also subject to death threats, so I dunno, probably a good thing GW doesn't want to put peoples names in Codex's and the like anymore.

It's dumb, yes.

But I have a suspicion that players have come up with much dumber reasons for why a GK army would fight a Sisters army on the table top.

Cease to Hope posted:

Jes Goodwin, reasonably sure. He did most of those second-generation Skaven

His sculpts stand the test of time and I can see why GW wouldn't immediately rush to replace every single one of them, especially that lovely stinker.

While on the topic, the idea that Jes Godwin and other 90s sculptors were out there coming up with Sisters of Battle minis in an attempt to give boys boners sure is a thought exercise.

The new Exorcist is rad as gently caress but the old one had one detail that was absolutely perfect - The gunner? organist? had this absolutely perfect "I'm doing a sweet fuckin' solo on this thing" face. The new ones are all just kind of vanilla "I'm very determined and angry" face.

Only closeup I could find



Apparently, there's an easter egg in the newer Exorcists in that her finger placement on the organ keys corresponds to the opening notes for Tubular Bells.

Regardless of other factors, if people around you know you are into hentai, something has gone wrong

He admitted to me that he didn't want to take an at home exam for his CompTIA certification because it would require him to take a 360 webcam view of his room and his computer and he didn't want to take down his hentai stickers.

Other than that... he's an ok dude but his girlfriend
must be a complete deviant like him or an absolute saint. Which might explain what led him to start collecting Sisters.
