Let Chaos idols take this thread!

What are the odds 11th is actually good and reverses the terminal decline of 40k?

>>97496370
I mean, it can't be worse than 10th. If they add any kind of complexity and customization at all it will already have people more interested in list building and theory crafting again than they have been in years.

>>97496344
>TQ
I like the endless spells concept from AoS but I think it's obvious that they are bad for the game and would be a disaster if something similar existed in 40k. You'd need to bring back universal psychic disciplines and then have a bunch of unique bullshit for all the factions that don't have any psychic whatsoever.

>>97496370
>terminal decline
did I miss something? Isn't it more popular than it's ever been?

assuming you mean a 40k version of AoS's endless spells?

they're fun sometimes, i'd say the army specific ones are about the right level of fun, gives your casters something to do, and arent too obnoxious. the generic ones were poorly balanced but you do need a baseline default option, especially with GWs tendency to do slow rollouts one faction at a time that take a decade to complete (aos's armies still dont all have their endless spell sets despite being started 3 editions ago)

i would probably put a limit on the number of them that can be present on the table at any given time (aos has a problem right now where your wizards can summon 30 wounds of endless spells to just jam up the field every turn), or make them not have health and not be combat entities like they were in the earlier aos editions where they were less impactful

the models could probably also be a bit smaller (some of the endless spells are redemptor dreadnought size or bigger) and a bit more detailed.

also, dont include incarnate level super spells for matched play, make that narrative only. being able to summon a free 20 wound greater daemon equivalent every turn was obnoxious and became an auto include in 90% of armies for a long time. thats too much

but overall i'd say im for it, psykers feel pretty underwhelming now that they took the lores and proper psychic power casting away, i think the lores and casting should come back, and throw in some endless powers too

>>97496402
It is, I am talking about quality/experience. Mcdonalds is also on every corner, no one would delude themselves into believing that means the food/experience is better than a Michelin star restaurant.

That's why I have little hope for 11th. This kind of dogshit gameplay sells well, so why change it.

You bought a 4th ed rulebook on eBay. Proves nothing.

>>97496462
In age of sigmar they have their little magic system and then GW was adding 'endless spells' which are literally magic spells that have models so you can pay money to spam extra magic. So it's either hyper jewish or a cool way to model magic depending on your perspective, like how AoS also has dedicated terrain for most armies while 40k just has, like, webway gays and those necron obelisks and a bunker or two.

Keep in mind howeverbeit that you can model your own, there's no need to buy James' official endless spell models. They tend to be things like swarms of critters - easy to find some bag of cheap plastic critter toys and glue them together - or big shadowy orb - easy to make from polystyrene or similar - as a couple examples. They're only super jewish to the hobbylets.

>>97496462
I don't think other anon did a great job of explaining what they actually are, they're spells you cast that then stay on the board in play. Like magically spawning a small horde of creatures or some magical weather effect, so they need a base and physical representation in the game which on subsequent turns has rules to move around and interact with units.

To me the biggest problem is how anti imagination the game is now. And most of that stems from the rule they've implemented where every unit has to be 1 to 1 represented by a box.
I don't see them repealing that.
They love to nostalgia bait though, my hope is that that'll make them bring back a few old and fun rules.
But in general I don't see them repealing any of the boardgamey nonsense in the game right now.

in the current edition they made them more like a summonable single model unit, they have wounds, can fight and be fought. some have attack profiles to represent their function like the swords, while others are of buff or debuff pieces that radiate out effects, and some do both.

in previous editions they didnt have health or attacks, and were more status effect oriented and their damage was more akin to like hazardous terrain or something, get too close and you take some mortal wounds if you're in the general proximity.

but yeah they're basically a summon from like an elder scrolls or final fantasy type game, which isnt that far fetched for a magic system to have

Not all of them can move. Some of them do/did act as summonable terrain features, and whilst there are generic ones like the quicksilver swords here >>97496898 , they've been slowly (very slowly since they didn't put out any new ones for all of 3e IIRC) giving each army with dedicated spellcasting or priest units endless spells/manifestations (the latter just being the priest equivalent for khorne, one of the drwarf armies, and like... one random model in another army)
This model here >>97496412 is actually one such army specific endless spell for gloomspite gitz (Goblins, squigs, trolls, giant spiders, and wolf rider goblins), which also, at least when it was first released, functioned as a summonable terrain feature that dealt a decent amount of wounds to anything that got too close, except for MAYBE gloomspite units, I legit can't recall if it was total area denial or the gitz units were unaffected.

How long do you think it'll take for these boxes to go into deep discount territory at LGSs? I'd be tempted to pick one of these up at around the $150-$180 range since I think Bloodcrushers are cool but no fucking way would I touch the thing at $250.

Does the benefictus shoot its attack out of its enlarged brain? I wanted to make lasers coming out of its eyes but that might be silly if its the former

This is a good list right? I've tried cramming in as many different cool units as possible while being hopefully balanced and useful.

Do you really want 20 bloodletters too? Why don't you just get the bloodcrushers separately for way cheaper?

Like a nephilim after being disembodied. The nephilim were the children of the Watchers, the 200 angels who fell to lust and were lead by their king, Samyaza- a fallen angel that even Lucifer was afraid of, to bang human women. But the nephilim destroyed themselves by fighting each other, leaving them disembodied and became the demons who compete with the lords of hell for the souls of men. They make bodies of animal parts and seek out humans suitable for mating with, to create a new and perfect host.

This actually would have been a very good battleforce to put the -actual- lord of contagion model in, with all the floaty plague shooties. Also if you're putting named characters in 2/4 boxes you coulda put lucius in the emperor's children one instead of a generic daemon prince.

Sorry if its long.
My BT write their epic deeds as ballads on their tabards. When its full they add it to a tapestry in their battle barge and start with a fresh one.
They also treat fellow unmutated Emperor woshippers with chivalry and gallantry. But treat mutants and unsanctioned psykers as cattle. Sanctioned psykers get marginally better treatment. But that's just standard BT stuff. They love blanks.
My custodes are artists each. Named after famous Terran painters and sculptors. They must finish a masterpiece before starting a new one, which can take centuries. Once its done, its shipped to the Imperial Palace.
The Sisters of Silence are the same but with writers. They write tales, reports, and propaganda that is spread to the greater Imperium under various pseudonyms. If a sister takes on the name of her predecessor, she can continue the latter's work.
One of them wrote The Imperial Guardsmen Uplifting Primer. She died saving a shield captain before clarifying if it was a parody or not. In her honor they released it as is.

Who's movement characteristic do I use, when a leader with, say more movement attaches to a unit? The base movement of the unit, or the higher movement of the leader?

>>97497640
The lowest movement always

>>97497640
Each model cannot move more than their stat allows. And a leader needs to stay in coherency with his unit.
Say a Sword Brethren squad, moving 6 inches, is led by an Emperor's Campion, moving 8 inches.
The SB can only move 6 while the EC can move 8 if he wants, but must remain in coherency with the SB. This is important for positioning mid combat before a charge.

What’s everyone’s favorite model to build? I’m talking about the building experience, not what you like having the most of. Just built a squad of 3 assault centurions and they were a pretty relaxing experience. Everything just seems to “fit” right. It’s not overly easy like a Bastillus dread but not ridiculously complex like a Redemptor. I’m actually enjoying building space marines, especially after the hell of my deldar army.

It wasn’t necessarily the imperial guard part that stung the most it was the idea that when I try to be genuinely creative like say make a fantasy web-novel I might rewrite the lore of something much more popular and already done without knowing it which may result in loads of copyright related repercussions if worse comes to worse.
It’s nothing serious when it is just /yourdudes/.
>>97492851
Thanks man that was a good read.
I was thinking something like lost their planet but have no knowledge about it because inquisitorial bullshit but it doesn’t matter anymore as the regiment has degraded over time, but your writing there makes me want to “appropriate” some if not all of what you’ve written as I like it a lot.
I think there were and maybe are interstellar spacefaring human civilizations so the precedent is already set for such a thing. I know in 30k there was one between humans and aylmaos so it wouldn’t be too out there in fitting it in 40k fluff.

I did the same, idk but it seems GW doesn't care either.

>>97497662
Only semi related but I really like building marines after only making necrons before that. There's so much more variety and options and bits, it's not even close. Necrons you just make the model, marines you make your own dudes even without a bits box or sculpting

Yours are very very good too. Super clean.
I give mine a lot of visual distraction to hide the fact I cant do as clean a paintjob. My tabards cant be as smooth as yours so I write shit down on it to hide the splotches on them. Then just made lore around it. Or just do color bombs to distract from the dirty highlights.

>>97497652
similarly when some models have movement skills that others lack (like grapnel reivers led by a grapnel-less lieutenant) you resolve each model individually while maintainng coherency. there's no aggregate or "use lowest" generalisation for the unit.

For the green
Caliban Green base then just repectively gradually add thin layers of
>Sotek Green
>Kabalite Green
>Warpstone Glow
>Moot Green
Make lines and waves, and as you go lighter make it "highlight" the darker waves.

For the gold
Vallejo old gold base
Wash all over with 50/50 biel tan green and agrax earthshade
Another layer of old gold on the surface
Any bright gold like vallejo gold or retrubutor gold for the highlights. Dont use silver highlights if you want that old gold look.
Here is how they look like.

Tbh I just use the paint I have, dont buy apot just for a highlight. You can always add ulthuan grey to a color to make it brighter.

I just with Psychic powers are like stratagems. In the beginning of the turn you roll to see how many psy points you have based on the units then have the powers be
>cost: 2 psy points
>cast by: psyker type A
>when: in the movement phase
>target: allied unit within X inches
>etc etc

You get Perils either in the pooling phase or whenever you cast a spell. If a spell costs 2 points roll 2 dice, etc. For each 1 you get a mortal wound or something.
It doesnt require a phase in itself and it can be "spread out" in the game.

tau and knights are the two where you have to flex stuff a bit, but for tau you can get away with a set of special drones, like the sky dwarfs in aos have, while knights are not really a faction so arguably they wouldn't need them, but you could still give them their non-combatant flying support team from the artworks

>like idea of plasma gun coils resembling a fire in colors like when Duncan rhodes painted that glowing volkite weapon on his channel
>see pic related
Bros I feel the oldhammer groggery new bad old good washing over me.
I’m thinking of using a copper or gold color.
But would gold or brass be better?

But really I can’t decide what colors I want my plasma coils to be.
Should I just choose metallic plasma coils to get the painting done quickly? Or genuinely give glowing plasma coils a try?

And we’re there always glowing plasma paint jobs or were they originally metallic in the oldhammer days and there was a change?

>>97498009
you can keep them cold on most models for the sake of making things fast and having a fee incandescent ones for variety or to mark out more important pieces like characters or tanks.
for example the leman russ with metallic coils doesn't look that good with that simpler scheme

also use brass, not gold, you'll probably end up using gold on some other parts of the models and the similarity will show

>>97498009
Call me a newfag, call me unimaginative, call me mainstream, but for my money if it ain't glowy blue it ain't plasma

>>97498009
if you want to paint the glow just try to use a colour that contrasts nicely with the rest of your scheme. I went with the standard blue glow on some hellblasters and it does not stand out at all with my blueish green and grey scheme. Should have stuck with fluo pink as I'd originally planned..

>>97498015
>also use brass
Got any specific brass colored paints in mind for the job?
I’ve got Ak 3rd gen brass but I’m wondering if you have something else to recommend.
>>97498016
It’s alright to have a different taste anon.
I like glowing effects but I see value in those older metallic coils.

>>97498026
>contrasts nicely with color scheme
You’re right.
I need to think this over quite a bit now.

>>97498036
I mostly found that funny to post, don't take me too seriously. I'll do the blue glow on my own dudes when I get around to a plasma model but I won't judge your tastes

Speaking of plasma weapons, should the glow be the same color across the whole army? Or is it OK for two different sizes of plasma weapons to have different glows? I'm guessing it shouldn't matter for more ragtag equipment like CSM.

the dreadnought helmets are generally way bigger than a normal marine helmet, so it's fair to say that they aren't necessarily actual helmets as much as helmet-like camera systems, if you want

for example the white scar character from horus heresy has a destroyed dreadnought on his base and the pilot is sculpted dragged out of a crack in the armor, with the dreadnought helmet not being on his head.

the galaxy is big enough to have all sorts of configurations anyway.

>give the interred marine some last sliver of humanity or something
I doubt it's that, if anything I'd wager it's a last resort for when the dreadnought's video systems are jammed, or just as modelling visual cue that there's something in there instead of being a robot.

Or if we want to consider historical inspirations, if you've ever gone to see real life reliquaries it's more often than not a very ornate container with just a small window or two to show that there's the actual relic inside, instead of being empty, but it's not exactly the best way to showcase the contents at times.

Now that's some grimdark shit. Dreddy goes from fun toy to horrifying body horror real fast

>>97498174
Okay that makes more sense than what I was saying, I agree.

Do people not start at "this is horrific" with dreads?

It's not even the real skull as much as the templars want you to believe it is.

You are courting wrath

i want to paint a cape (or a dress i guess) a vibrant blue but in a very vibrant way. its hard to find a guide that does this, its mostly darkish blues (over a black primer). if i cant find anything im just gonna use talassar blue and call it a day

I think the "or so they claim" was more about that being all that's left of the alien race, not that the skull is a fake.

I've been out of the loop since 5th, and is just looking into dusting off my old collection and get into painting again.
What the fuck do you mean templates, armor values and platoons are gone?

I can't do this because if I hear my own voice I get extremely tempting suicidal thoughts.

Not even the worst part. You no longer pay for wargear, every unit has a single set price and wargear choices don't matter.

>>97496748
>And most of that stems from the rule they've implemented where every unit has to be 1 to 1 represented by a box.
I don't see them repealing that.

One thing that has surprised me is the amount of special weapons you actually get now with standard boxes.
Back in my day (3rd-5th) I had to buy fucking metal cast on the side to get my plasma guns and meltas for IG, and Leman Russ only came with the battle cannon, heavy bolters and flamers.
So WYSIWYG actually makes sense now.
