I hate doing basecoats so I find shortcuts. Find a method that works for you. The trick is to find a way to get a quality you think looks good enough but takes little time to achieve. Your scheme and faction do matter in this though. Marines are a pain in the ass to paint by brush but with an airbrush or rattle cans doing 80% of the job they become a breeze. Doing the same to GSC or IG with so many different textures and materials is a death sentece. Washes and inks are your best friend there.

Every change so far seems like an improvement over 10th. The problem is that 10th as a base is shit, so many changes that are needed are impossible to make without invalidating existing books. It does give me hope that the new designers understand where the problems are and next edition they can do a full reset and make a system closer to old 40k or the current 30k rules. I really, really hope they copy at least the statlines, morale and weapon rules.

Ideally I'd go back to 3rd/4th edition but that's even more unlikely to happen. I have some issues with HH3 but it's overall a way better modernization of the 40k ruleset than anything since 8th has been. And I really fucking like the new morale system. I also like the new 30k FOC.
>>97897641
Kelly doesn't write rules.

>>97897643
There are like six kinds of space pirates in the setting and Red Corsairs are definitely one of them.

I'm surprised 40K managed to make a believable setting where women want to have a lot of babies in a way that doesn't get in the way of their education, careers or lives, to the point where a dystopic fluoride anaphalactic needs to be pumped into the water supply on every world
When you look at something like Helldivers 2, their failure to manage this makes the scale of death in the setting impossible, especially when combined with the conception consent forms, what were they thinking?

I play HH3.0

initially I hated it when they were doing the previews, I thought they were making it too similar to 40k and needlessly complicated in areas (e.g challenges and FOC)
the leaks reinforced this, the rules are complete word salad and hyper specific so they cannot be misinterpreted, written as if the fans are your typical 40k players

however, actually PLAYING it, it's a ton of fun and easily one of the best feeling editions for any game they've ever done
vehicles are much better, dreadnoughts got nerfed, the challenge minigame is really fun when you understand it, tactical status effects add another layer onto the game (e.g you can use them to stop your opponent scoring), adding in weapon initative modifiers allows greater granularity between melee weapons with pros and cons
and the word salad rules have a little sentence in bold before the rule, to tell you the INTENTION of what it's supposed to do

obviously it still has flaws, making units 40k-lite by removing weapon and wargear options not in the kit and removing units from the book for no reason (granted these are 90% a marine problem) is shitty

HH3.0 with better rulebook formatting would be perfect for 40k, the 10th ed rules just don't work

What education and career? The average lifestyle for an imperium citizen is the same of a victorian era factory worker. You do have enough free time to meet someone and rise children and enough "money" to get some basic stuff but you'll be doing the exact same work in poor conditions for your entire life. People throw memes around of workers doing 20 hour shifts and eating corpse starch but reality is that, by design, the average conditions of 40k workers need to be bad enough that the option of revolting is enticing enough that it happens all the fucking time in some place or another, but not bad enough that your entire population keels over in a couple of weeks.

Those are pretty much my opinions too. I'll add that while the datasheet format in 3.0 is way better than 10th's AoS style format, I don't get why they moved the unit composition section around. Makes everything less legible than the 2.0 datasheets which were perfect IMO. In truth, the 2.0 format is the exact same 40k had had since 5th edition, a testament of how good it was.

>>97897823
Imperial citizens have very limited vertical movement. If you're the child of a manufactory worker, you'll be a manufactory worker or equivalent. The very small elite population that makes up those privileged positions have enough resources to have children and rise them without it impacting their careers. You see the same shit today. Poor as fuck people pump out children because it's free labour. Rich fucks pump out children because they can afford it. It's middle class retards like us that having a child has a significant impact on our personal economy.

Just tell me you find them hot and we'll move on. I assume you're not very old because you should have noticed a fair few fictional characters with them in the past 10 years and they emulate roughly 10% of the problems of the women who wear them in real life, which is 10% too much.

>cyberpunk is body mods
Do you want to argue about how, whenever you see someone with a glass eye, you shout "THAT'S SOOO CYBERPUNK!"
Or do you want to argue that an urban corporate computerised dystopic amoral transhuman and post-human setting, being called prefix-punk means it's related to the English punk music and fashion movement of the '70s (a derivative of glam rock), and therefore a a fictional faction that uses an element of cyberpunk (e.g. computers), is therefore punk and therefore is excused to use a punk aesthetic (piercings) even when piercings were extremely uncommon and I've never seen a nosering on actual punk fans other than modern scene posers.
It's actually kind of funny how photographs of punk concerts results in the most normal looking white young adults possible who could fix their hair and go to work in a bank the very next day.

First Space Wolves unit done, just some intercessors. Going grimy and grimdark and lots of wear and tear, since my last army was clean and bright colored. I thought it would be funny to have Space Wolves from different companies having the shittiest time of their lives on a dingy Space Hulk filled with horrors, Dead Space/Resident Evil vibes. Garbage and blood all over the place.

I understand the pauldron colors are incorrect, but, uh, I don't give a shit. These guys are "set" in the future where the Imperium has lost and they're the stragglers who have banded together. They're repurposing old pauldrons they've found since they can't fix their equipment properly.

The assembly is totally fine, and the kneepads are totally irrelevant to me. The proportions, poses and weapon variety is way better than the old ones, thats a huge plus.
I dislike the shape of their helmets, but thats a minor thing that doesn't somehow make the old ones better. They suck. They always sucked. Their only saving grace was the fact that the other plastic guardsmen GW did were even worse.

That sentinel however, thats a huge minus. Easily the worst model of the guard range, especially when its next to the old one.

Honestly, i do not care if GW names the box "Cadian Shocktroops", because they are just generic Guardsmen. They are supposed to be /Your/ regiment.
But even if you want them to be pure Cadians, you can justify a variety of lasgun marks in the set.

>>97898404
Half tracks were designed to give a mix between the steerability of a wheeled vic and the off-road performance of a treaded tank, and a lot of ww2 era open topped troop transports were designed open for ease of dismounting and mounting troops

>>97898438

>>97898428
Cadia died. Kantreal, the planet that produces the iconic Cadian lasgun did not. Ergo, it would make sense for Cadians to still be universally outfitted with Kantreal-pattern guns.

>you can justify a variety of lasgun marks in the set.
You can justify anything you want, it still shit to force everyone who doesn't want old Catachans or Kriegers to use a mix of different lasgun patterns in squads. If you want to go mixing, source some 3rd party or other regiment lasguns for your dudes.

>>97898465

It'd be nice. There's so much stuff in the nooks and crannies of the lore you could kitbash all sorts of shit together, from Chaos rabble to Gue'vasa militias, etc. I understand each sprue requires its own manufacturing logistics but it can't be that difficult to throw out a few runs and see how they sell.
