For the book or for the renders? Book I have nothing atm but I've used Ilovepdf to get the backgrounds pics of GW books before so I'll try to see if any of my IA pdfs works. For the renders I'm just modelling them from scratch using the new 30k colour plates as reference for proportions.

I hope this is misinformation, but to be fair most of the original lads are passing away or close to it now.
He did good for 40k. They all did.

Played a game of 5th edition on Saturday.
We were using the Cities of Death supplement, if urban warfare is your jam I wholeheartedly recommend playing this.

While I did enjoy the game, so much bullshit happened during it, holy shit..
I'll avoid spamming the thread since I'm not good at writing these things, so it's just the highlights.

As per the scenario we chose, each of us had to select a building/ruin in opposite quadrands of the map that would act as out FOBs, we had to capture the opponent's base to win the scenario. We both picked 3 stratagem cards(very flavourful, it's a fun read). One of the stratagems I picked allowed me to place several tank traps on the map to make passage impossible for vehicles(I later learned that it made the game really difficult for my friend)

>tq

tasteful color scheme
non-retarded gimmick (although plenty of gw stuff fails at that)
A lack of over importance or need to be unique.

I'm just putting a couple space wolf helmets on the knight I'm painting personally.

Guys, there was a thing in the news recently about some literature surveying team finding some of Shakespeare's long lost works. It was so long that they needed 5 people to transport it.

It turned out they just read an 11th edition datasheet ability section.

Thanks for responding!
I meant for the book. Sorry if I was too vague.
I have been looking for an image editor like Photoshop (or I might stop being scared of viruses and just pirate it) to hopefully be able to create all filters and templates within the software like the beige "parchment" background colours of the image you used in your post.

Then hopefully after that be able to take "on the ground angled" photos of miniatures and then photoshop them to look cinematic.
A grainy filter is meant to cover up amateur goofs on my part.
Not to say that the IA model photos were bad. There is a special kind of ingredient intertwined with talent those ForgeWorld graphics designers had that I lack and I hope it leaks somehow. Stuff looks deceptively simple to be honest.


But sometimes loads of photo effects can work without a filter too.

The new weirdboy is beautiful.

I don't mind the smaller arms here because weirdboys are, well, weird. Not typical Orks where they'd be extremely buff and huge due to swinging their choppas around all day. This git works out at the library.

Wasn't this kind of thing also done a lot in the toy industry in the 00s? When digital editing was available but they couldn't just do the whole thing in CGI.
The Forge World way of doing it as a really crunchy pseudo-photograph is rather unique though.

GW keeps doing it, every single 10th edition 40k box has that, but as you say, in the common toy style instead of the pseudo historic style FW used.

>>97886996
warhammer is expensive in general, but neither army is too bad. elves are pretty elite so you’ll need fewer models but orks are cheaper per model.

Orks are primarily a fighting army with some shooty elements while eldar are a primarily a shooty army with some melee elements.

Elves aren’t super hard to paint because they’re mostly monocolored body suits with some little greebles and you’re painting far fewer of them so you’ll have a painted army quicker than Orks. Elves ARE a bitch to build, it’s going to take more time to build a model versus the mostly ball and socket orks.

Elves are generally a more complicated army to play and much less beginner friendly. Orks are have some naunce too, with learning how to set up your GO turn and when to initiate your GO turn.

Elves have feels bad games. sometimes you stomp someone with cheese and sometimes you get tabled in two turns. Ive always enjoyed the games I play against Orks and Ork players. There’s a little more bullshit factor with elves.

Overall, the fight in the middle ends up not being too interesting, the gist of it is, Tacticals get rekt by DC, run off towards the side of the board, and hold further back where they eventually end up killed by the vets that have been coming towards them.
>Tactical squad in my FOB provides covering fire, which kills two more
>embedded lascannon and plasma gun roll 1s to hit two turns in a row
>DC run up to my Venerable Dreadnought and leave it a crippled metal nugget without arms and legs, after which they run off towards my base screaming something about Horus, leaving my dreadnought very confused

I feel like the hobby aspect of the Orks should be mentioned, there's a lot more freedom and creativity, with Orks you're painting a lot of rusty scrap and random decorations and you can cobble together anything. Other than WYSIWYG armaments the only rule to building or painting them is "Be green. Green iz betta".
Eldar are a bitch to build, very formulaic, and for a good paint job your options are airbrush, eavy metal, or vintage style glaze blending.

>>97886999

It isn’t impossible, but its pretty unlikely that 88 and thunderbolts would both be passed down the line to space wolves, especially when a lot of 21st century people with nazis on the brain don’t know what those symbols are. this would arguably be justifiable if it was a successor chapter based in some weird star trek nazi planet, but they’re explicitly space wolves from fenris, so it doesn’t really make sense.

Game ended with the last vestiges of the Veteran, Death Company and Honour Guard squads closing in on him. I condeded afterwards.

Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience, very swingy, cinematic and it could honestly go either way.

we’re more of a mid-tier army with a very low skill floor. It’s a hard army to play that is a little overcosted, it’s probably one of the worst to *start* playing with as a beginner right now, but definitely not the worst performing army.

>>97887281
to be fair, feldgrau would likely blend in too heavily with the rest of the blueish grey model or be really ugly against the yellow. likely a good way to be clever with it (and increase deniability) would be to have them understand 88 is a sacred symbol, but believe that all repeating double digits are also sacred so the models are all covered in 44, 66, 99, ect. which they have different meanings for, but 88 is the most holy symbol and is the symbol for space wolf supremacy, and that supremacy is as well done through twin lightning bolts which is also a repeating symbol.

How numerous are Dark Elv-I mean Dark Eld-Drukari?
How numerous are the undead Eldar/Titans+Wraith Constructs(etc)?
How numerous are the Necrons really? Dark age of imperium then turned robotic era or do they number like the imperial guard?

I always thought those guys were a bad decision from their inception.
Like I get the whole thing was to sell more marines to make more sales, but even then I always thought that scout marines are an antithesis to what marines are which are big armored dudes with powerful weapons with intent of violence that is never subtle or hidden.
Scout marines or even marines doing anything considered 'recon' is a contradiction of that.

Lost media at this point. I fucking hate primaris organization.

so are they doing another new boyz kit or no?

new yarrick seems pretty nice, can imagine a lot of shenanigans with the reactive move/extra overwatch either making them really fucking hard to charge off an objective or getting to shoot the opponent's scorers twice
aoe orders are also nice but getting to cuck a melee army out of their charge is pretty big

>>97887904
That's pretty good, but it still doesn't change my mind on scout marines.
Good art you posted though. I appreciate looking at old original artworks of 40k stuff.

>>97887824
everything in the setting is going to appear small in number or rare compared to the quadrillions of the humans, orks, and tyranids. Orks and Tyranids rely on fewer “support” organisms to fight than humans, but there’s a million imperium worlds and some planets have trillions of humans.

Tau, Dark Eldar, and Votann have decent numbers, certainly billions, but they’re clustered in specific areas of the galaxy (or clustered in a specific spot outside the galaxy in one alternate dimension metropolis) so they’re ultimately relatively rare. compare that to Craftworld Eldar who probably only number in the millions but span the galaxy from their colony-ships and webway gates. all four of those races probably have about the same impact on the galaxy as secondary players.

Eldar wraith constructs aren’t hard to build. the issue is spirit stones and souls capable of being roused for battle. wraithknights have a specific unqiue issue of needing twins/lover/spiritually bonded couples, one alive, one in a spirit stone, to operate. I would be suprised if more than a few hundred wraithknight are active and functioning

necrons are the biggest “who tf knows” trillions went to sleep, but how many will wake up and how many will still be functioning is completely unknowable.

the leagues are rare only because they keep to themselves and live in a part of the galaxy most other races wont go, but they are mentioned to be quite a bit more numerous than the tau or eldar. each of the titular "leagues" are a massive galactic empire unto themselves

Probably for the same reason the Wargames Terrain link was added too after so much complaints about game terrain.

Am I the only one that doesn't like the "effects" parts on newer models? The new weirdboy has a lightning arc, the ork biker guy has a flame burst, every smoke grenade has smoke coming out of it, the hellsmiths from AOS had flames and smoke everywhere.

It just feels so cartoonish.

>>97888021

>>97887877
they’re still big dudes in big armor with big guns, but an army needs skirmishers to conduct flanking manuevers or chase down faster opponents

given the scarcity of resources, it’s not that crazy that there’s not enough armor to go around for each rookie. Black templars often put scouts right in the thick of it mixed in with their regular crusaders.

>>97888035
Armour aside, primaris squad organization is a mess and the "lore" for it is barely a justification for it to not have any proper organization.

>>97888021
I don't like them, I tolerate them if they're optional, but like tactical rocks they're just a way to inflate the plastic and reduce the value of the model.

I hate that modern models are meant to be display pieces, instead of playing with MINIATURE (see: small, tiny versions of) soldiers I feel like I'm playing with very small collector's edition statues, except I gotta assemble and paint it. But hey, normalfags lap it up.

>>97888021
I think the effects on newer models are meant to fight resin recasters and make it frustration for STL scans of the models to be properly set up for printing. It is possible, but it is meant to frustrate the pirate.
Just a theory where the source is made up by me.

Generally I think the biggest problem is that they don't seem to be an 'option' from what I've seen most of the time.
I wouldn't mind the effect parts of models if they were just optional.
I wonder if it is a mandated thing that those be made along with tactical rocks.

Lastly I think a lot of models having a lot of extra fragile looking bits and additions to them and fragile looking attachments to the base is meant so that when being used as game pieces the accidents of breaking a piece is maximized so that the wargamer will buy a new one as a replacement.
A sort of deliberate defecting of the model's structural integrity through the sculpt design so replacement sales are made like Nuln Oil pots get spilled a lot.

All of this is just my speculation and conspiracy theory.

Is Cawl technically a "heretek" that is leading a group of like minded Mechanicus followers that are essentially more relaxed on innovation but just calling it a different thing to avoid a Moirae Schism at worst and just getting purged at best?

What even is the primaris organization? Genuinely.
Old marines was simple
>Scout -> Dev -> Assault -> Tac -> Vets -> Terminator
Before they brought back scouts and termies (I will die on the hill that GW wanted to completely revamp the marine range) it was even more nebulous.

I have genuinely no idea what primaris marines have because it feels like every year a new unit is popped out from nowhere and is supposed to be inserted in the lineup. Some units are 5 men, some units are 10, some units are 3, some have the sgt with different weapons, some don't.

Maybe it's because I care so little that I just skipped all of it, but after nearly 10 years I still have no clue what the fuck primaris are beside "just do whatever lol"

>>97888065
It's one of those GW not thinking about the numbers things. Supposedly there are only about 1000 Craftworlds but their populations range from tens of thousands to billions. Commoragh has a highly fluctuating population because of how many die there every day but they also flash grow most of their kids in glass coffins to maturity and fuck like crazy so they've got insane population growth too and hang out in the trillions plus however many planets worth of slaves they bring in to the dark city to support a population of that size too.

I always wanted to check it out but was too lazy to find a download. Aw geez I’m actually gonna pay for it huh……

current boyz kit was poorly received due to the monopose models which have to take a gun and can't take a melee option
they also don't really have much other choice when making a new edition box for Orks to be fair, nobz are the closest they could do but they aren't battleline

>Cawl tech heresy & schism
They barely hinted at it, but since GW wanted to sell the new marines they had to handwave that actually it's fine, the primarch said so so it's cool, as if IRL if jesus himself came back the different catholic churches and cults wouldn't still bicker and fight and call him a fake just to hold onto their power and not look like retards when what they've been preaching for millenia is told by the son of god to be bollocks

>tacticals
Still intercessors, but now they have a few mk7/mk6 helmets, some different greeves and mk6 shoulder pads.
You'll have more variation by buying the Space Wolves kits.

Body trim mostly done, just needs a little oiling.

I'm still not sure if I like or dislike it.

just put 50 grots in to compensate for the lack of boyz

It's a nebolous and vague handwave of squad groupings. Instead of a marine being assigned to a specific squad with a specific role, they are assigned to "battleline", "heavy support", "close support" and then change loadout/armour/squad type depending on the mission. Which in practice means there's fuck all for organization because everything is adhoc.It's bad. Most of what primaris try to do is copying 30k but doing it worse.

GW just unleashed a bunch of old Warhammer games on Steam
>Rites of War is one of them
This feels like a trap or trick of some kind

>>97888076
I remember an old article stating that it’s technically still pretty similar, with the new squad formations bring more granular versions of the Dev and Assault Squads before they get the relevant experience to become Tactical Squads, but with keeping the Tactical Squad kit and datasheet around as the token firstborn rep (until 11th likely kills them for good) I don’t think that lore ever went anywhere.

>GW trying to tempt me back with new tactical marines
If they were actually tactical marines I would fall but it's hard to be nostalgiabaited when they kill the thing I'm supposed to be nostalgic about at the exact same time.

Hmm I may check them out, any rts that would interest a GW fan?

>>97888111
It didn't help that for the last decade the lore blurbs for the primaris units pretended the old ones never existed and the blurb for the remaining classic ones were written as if nothing had changed.

If you read the latest Cawl book its pretty clear, he is just straight up a heretek and neither him nor the primarch give a shit.
>he innovates
>he invents
>he calls himself a scientist
>he says the Necrons have better technology than the Imperium
>he has started to experiment with mixing Necron and Imperial technologies

Basically he's too important to have to follow Mars' rules and because Guilliman supports him he gets to tell them to go kick rocks.

>>97887817
Are you a fan of decals and furries by chance

>>97888130
Cawl would be a pretty interesting character if he wasn't behind every bullshit primaris bring to the table, which makes him look both like a mary sue and impossible to do anything interesting with him because new releases require him to mantain status quo.

>>97888105
Sometimes I think I just don't get it and that I'm missing something and it'll all make sense, and then I realize I'm digging trying to find something that was never there.
All of that because
>no model, no rule
>as little option as possible, kill kitbash outside of swapping heads and pauldrons, the rest is virtually pointless.

>>97888092
>since GW wanted to sell the new marines they had to handwave that actually it's fine
So "realistically by 40k standards" there should be a big schism among the Mechanicus because of Cawl's conduct?
>>97888130
>if you read the latest Cawl book
I didn't, I'm sorry. I just don't find BL books entertaining.
>Basically he's too important to have to follow Mars' rules and because Guilliman supports him he gets to tell them to go kick rocks.
I do yearn for a schism among the Mechanicus over Cawl's stuff.
>mixing Necron and Imperial technologies
Wasn't this already done with Necron blades being used by Deathwatch?
I vaguely remember a sanctioned Tau weapon that was just a Tau gun with seals all over it.

any tips or guides for painting tank camo? looking for guides

I recall a WD last year had some bits, anyone know what i'm on about?

Not really anymore, all of his inventions were submitted to Mars as "found this STC, don't bother checking when the pattern was made, its totally ancient"

>>97888146
One off rare Deathwatch weapons are one thing, but Cawl is experimenting with totally-not-AI, blackstone null fields, Necron FTL & communication networks etc.

The next Cawl book is being setup as possibly the start of a Schism, seemingly the new Fabricator General has it out for him and has been gathering evidence of his heresy.

>>97888111
>more granular version of assault & dev
How does that even work? Before you had reserve companies to make sure you had enough tacs, devs and assaults so the fighting companies could be operational.
Now you're telling that the chapter has to keep track of infiltrators, desolation, invictor pilots, aggressor, incursors, hellblasters, eradicators, infernus, assault intercessor (or are they actually melee tacticals instead of ground assaults?) and inceptors?
Am I retarded or is this retarded? Or both

>>97888130
> neither him nor the primarch give a shit
Frankly nobody gives a shit, in and out of universe. At best I'd use him as a generic fabricator general.

>>97888167
>ot really anymore, all of his inventions were submitted to Mars as "found this STC, don't bother checking when the pattern was made, its totally ancient"
Anon that is mantaining the status quo. They aren't allowed to have him face actual consequences.

>extreme modularity
>new models
>monopose SHIT

>b-but muh dynmaic poses
idgaf old models allowed much more creativity and the post primaris models for sll rsnges killed the hobby aspect of warhammer

Yeah, age of apostasy type shit and possibly an imperial schism between those who accept the ressurected primarch and cawl, those who accept the primarch, but not cawl, those who accept cawl but not the primarch, those who accept neither, and so on. That's the implications when your setting has multiple large religious bodies that are already tolerating each other and have been stable-ish for millenias. Add to that general ignorance, superstition, terrible & unreliable communication methods and the biggest bloated beaurocratic mess that ever was.

Except instead he comes in and people just fold for the most part and tell you shit like
>refusing this new power would be retarded because it's more power yo
This is one of the reason why I don't give a zilch about modern fluff/lore: it has lost all credibility and is straight up telling you
>Okay this is how it works now, get on with the program
Why would I invest in your fiction when you're just pulling shit out of your ass, not to make things more interesting, but to literally simplify things for the sake of making easier to digest for people who didn't care in the first place?

It's bonkers to me.

>>97888180
good for you
