Question for all the blueberries ITT: How do you feel about the more cynical portrayals of the Tau like in Fire Caste? It's less insufferable than the stereotypes but I wonder if it's more "Tau for people who don't like Tau" or just more nuanced.
>>97883603

Are you airbrushing at point blank? Very flat coats with just a suggestion of overspray. If not, what paint is that?

I love Fire Caste. Its the exact sort of portrayal of Tau that I love.

For me the perfect example of that sort of Tau is encapsulated in using Gue'vesa as Breachers, and Breachers only.
I love the sort of Subtle evil that the Tau can be. Especially with Ethereal's.

That said, I also like the super optimistic tau, but for that I like to think that Farsight enclaves work best.

For chaff you are 100% justified in drybrushing instead of layering up. If you look at the old painting guides it was standard operating procedure for the grogs, and if it's good enough for them it's good enough for me.
You will want to learn how to drybrush well though, if it's all streaky you'll be convinced it's no good.

Hold it firmly in place, apply some pressur, not enough that you damage the model obviously, but don't just like it sit lightly on there either

fresh delusion

>>97883679
If your finger is getting sticky then you're letting the cement get where it shouldn't be by either applying too much or applying it sloppily. It can be tricky to avoid this if you're doing a seam weld since in that case you deliberately apply excess cement so it squeezes out the top and it can be tricky to avoid making a mess, but if you're just attaching an arm or a leg or something it probably just means you're applying too much and making it overflow/run.

>>97883618

WTF happend to Codexes/Codecies? I've been out of the hobby for a while and I'm trying to get my kid into it and he like the Tyranids and there is almost no lore in the Codex. How the fuck is he supposed to like the units or the army? There isnt even fucking pictures of the models. WTF are they doing here? I started at 2nd ed and they had great lore for each unit/model and made me fall in love with them. WTF is going on?

That along with every narrative campaign book are "while stocks last" meaning they won't be restocked. Your best bet is finding one at your local game/hobby shop. 500 Worlds I've noticed isn't too hard to find even online. Others like Maelstrom will be much harder to find.

>>97883904
oh true, i was just looking for campagin supplment rules part :')

>>97883895
Yeah, codex quality has dropped immensely since about 8th edition. Less narrative snippets, smaller gallery sections, fewer conversions and painting guides, and less cool evocative art replaced by digital renditions of models reproduced exactly or low quality portraits.

>>97883888
>>97883904

As someone subbed to the Combat Patrol magazine currently (58 issues in) I can raise the same sentiments as the other people who replied to you

If you like like at least 6/9 of them or have a friend you'd be up to splitting it with, then yeah it's a good deal. For me it was
>Already collected Imperial Guard & World Eaters

>Selling the Votann stuff to a Friend
>Not totally sure what I wanna do with the Tyranid/GSC stuff yet.
If you only really want 2-3 of the armies then it's not really worth it.

>Is it good for a new player?
The magazine contents are very good at this part, It's primarily coded around the Combat Patrol game mode but it does provide the basic contents of the core rules included in later issues too. It won't be a 1/1 jump into true 40k though (Ignoring that 11th edition is gonna be out in 2-3 months the Eldar Combat Patrol still uses Fate Dice for its army rule).

IMO I feel like it's been worth it, I've gotten some pretty nice models out of it and it's nice getting a new drop of issues every 4 weeks.

>>97883941
Give them bondsman with OC2 and reduce the OC on KNIGHTS down a bit and take away their special action rules so people have to actually use infantry alongside the mechs.
Also give them more brackets so they're no always fighting at full power and combat effectiveness even when more than half their wounds are gone.

>>97883941
Relegate them to a 3000+ point "Apocalypse" game mode along with flyers and primarchs.

>>97883941
Give them a ton of serf infantry. Make them like guard with lots of disposable infantry with tanks but it's medieval peasants with knights.

Yes but it needs to be built into the army and codex as the default and not a grotmas free soup detachment they may not even keep going forward.

>>97884010
That is correct. It's not all doom and gloom though. You still have the Crucible of Champions rules that will likely never see a digital release. Personally I am envious of you since I was never able to secure my own copy.

I dont recall if it was Fantasy or 40k where you randomly drew your psychic powers... I'm pretty sure that Fantasy did around 4th ed... I think 40k had 1/2/3 pts per power and you could choose a power based on the amassed points you had per your psychicers mastery points. That sounds right. Good times.

The hardest part was trying to put the axe on the fucking arm. I genuinely think that shit instead requires plastic glue instead of Tamiya Cement because holy fucking shit.
Now all I got left to assemble is 5 Warp Spiders and another 5 Dire Avengers and I'm ready to paint. Just need to learn how to think my paints as I was told I have good brush control here before.

I did, and i'm happy that even with the near LoS rules for 11th my planned army isn't really affected.
If you just want a project to do to see if you like them maybe pic up a pathfinder or Xv8 battle suit team, or the combat patrol with the commander in it if you want a varity of tau models to try your scheme out.

You don't paint eyes, you paint the idea of an eye.
In plain English: you don't paint the components of an eye (pupil, iris, etc.), you paint something that ends up looking like eyes are there.

Ynnari play more like craftworlds with some dark eldar allies than dark eldar anyway, so not really?

Harlequins aren't really OP they're incredibly glass cannon and die to marines farting at them if they can't get into melee.

Corsairs only have a couple of units, the basic infantry is basically just storm guardians 2.0, whilst the jetpack infantry are chaff melee jetpacks. The starfang is a scoutier, lighter vyper with assault weapons. Overall I'd say their main thing is being cheaper and more chaff than craftworld units.

I'm new to the tabletop game, and I'm wondering how hard is it to get into the game? Is the community pretty bad? Am I gonna get bullied for unpainted miniatures or 3D printed miniatures?

>>97885238
>Am I gonna get bullied for unpainted miniatures or 3D printed miniatures?

>>97885238
Everything you read online is an exageration and under a microscope.
If you have a lgs near go and see what it's like, a lot run building and painting tutorials so you could try that as well.
tldr: touch grass

>>97885238
Nobody gives a fuck about 3d printed minis unless they look like shit or you're trying to pass them off as originals. I give a pass on unpainted as long as I can see that you're consistently showing up week to week with a little more work being done. If your shit is still grey a year later I will bully you.

It's honestly the painting aspect that keeps me from playing. I don't really wanna fuck it up and have it look ugly.

Finally got around to painting up the little hologram table thing I made forever ago out of a juice cap, some spare bits and spackle. I think I can probably do better, so I might go back tomorrow night and try sprucing up the glow around the edges of the table but for now it's good. Next time I make one of these I'm definitely gonna add more greebles to the table itself - I kept it intentionally bland for this one to not distract from the hologram on top but it definitely needs some thick chunky cables or something to go on it.

>>97885284
That's just a part of learning any new skill, it's the willingness to try and get better that's the most important aspect.

>>97885284
You can always strip a model and start over again, though you should absolutely keep your first painted model as-is to remind yourself how far you've come. You're never gonna be good at a new skill when you start it, but you'll be surprised at how far you can go if you put in the time and effort. Also, it's never been easier to start painting minis than right now. There's new guides being put out pretty much daily on places like youtube to learn from.

>>97885288
Pondering the board

How do I stop losing with elf armies? When I play aggressively I lose half my army turn 2 and don't get anything for it and when I play defensively I just lose the whole board and get boxed in and killed. I've played over 100 games now and I just don't understand what I am doing wrong. I just want to play an army that can win by actually killing things and not have to play space marines.

It's not about skill, it's about learning all the little tricks and shortcuts that help you get a decent result without a lot of effort. Basecoat, ink wash, drybrush is a staple that will get you looking better than 80% of the armies out there and is piss easy to do, even in big batches.

>Why does GW absolutely hate Eldar in lore but will always be the strongest army on the table?
BL writers seethe about playing against Eldar and reflect that in their writing. An army's gimmick being movement, positioning and specialised units turns out to be quite difficult to balance in a game about movement and positioning where generalisation is often a waste of points. Hard to balance goes both ways, though - Eldar currently have one of the lowest winrates of any army and will likely ride out the edition towards the bottom of the pack.

>>97885607
I thought they were the strongest army in 10e?

>>97885614
