Warhammer 40k

I secured my preorders for the updated aspect warriors and phoenix lords including the new spider elf. I guess this is going to be a surprise only to GW that everything barring the meme codex book, the cards and the reboxes is sold out everywhere. I feel like such a consoomer but bear in mind, we craftworld players have been waiting since the 1990s for updates on these models.

From what I saw, if you can find stores or websites in Australia/New Zealand, they aren't sold out there for anyone who still wants to get some of these.

Also, a question. I found a great condition, pre-assembled, pre-painted Knight Castellan on Ebay for $115. This seems like a good deal and I can slap an Inquisitorial bit or two for my purposes, but I want opinions on if it's better than buying a fresh Castellan.

Hard to say without being able to see it myself. I guess the worth depends on what you want out of it. Some people wouldn't be interested because putting the model together and painting it is the point of the hobby. Maybe you're like me and just want a good enough model that works in your games. Normally I would say someone who has a very expensive model in good condition and painted competently would be able to charge more than MSRP for it considering the work that went into it. But it's not unheard of for people to undersell minis they just want to get rid of or need some cash fast.

I'd say, as long as you don't feel like you'll need to do any extensive work on the model it's a steal. The hard work is done for you, and GW doesn't get any extra money. Just check seller feedback and watch they aren't scamming you on shipping cost.

From what I'm seeing, it's someone desperately trying to offload a half-finished Imperial Knights army so that explains the price. I'll hopefully pick it up since it's on auction for a few more days. Damn thing's even got magnetized shoulder weapons. I appreciate the advice since I'm still pretty new to the wargame half of Warhammer.

As for the painting and putting stuff together, I'm quite miserly with my hobbies, being a broke college student and all, so, despite being really into Warhammer and quite enjoying putting models together and what little painting I did before the Pharaoh's curse (rubric marine trim) stopped me, I find it hard to get into that part of the hobby with the relatively huge upfront cost compared to other stuff I do. In fact, I would say that putting models together was one of the most fun things I've done in a long time. I wonder if I could find someone who likes painting and not putting models together to do some labor trade with or at least not outrageous painting prices.
 
FYI, the Castellan is big dick tank killer with it's Volcano Lance
18S, AP-5 and D6+8 at 72" is some serious shit
(it's chaos counterpart on the Knight Tyrant has 20S though, but can "only" shoot 60")
Could be worth it if your opponent is fielding something equally heavy.

The Dominus chassis is a bit goofy: you'd expect it to be bigger than the Questoris one because of all the guns, but it's pretty much the same size.
And you can always strip the old paintjob and put something new on it (99% proof Isopropanol will take that right off)

Yeah, that's why I wanted to bring it because the rest of my list doesn't really have anything that could serve that monster killer purpose. Plus it really cuts down on the number of models I need. The paint job isn't actually bad, it's sort of a darker blue, darker red, silver, and gold trim. I'd probably just strip off the blue, slap on some black and a rosette, and call it a day.

I have solved my price problem, however. Turns out my university has a free to use, good quality 3d printer in one of the libraries so GW can go fuck themselves.

Saw a kinda interesting comment on Abnett, around the time he was writing Legion and adding the Cabal and perpetuals, he was writing Doctor Who stuff, may have influenced him. Sometimes I forget he writes for other ips.

Meanwhile for the Ynnari, I saw a comment that GW tried to make a big eldar mix faction, when the eldar were in the shitter model wise. Sure they got 3 new guys, but the craftworlds and drukhari only got a range refresh years after. That would be like introducing the primaris in lore, but the models only come in 2023
 
Abnett shat up 40k because of Dr Who?

That's a reach, but I can see him going:
-Oh shit I'll lift everything from heckin chungus Who and no stupid chuuud will find out. I'll be even bigger awesome.

Abnett is a literary Tom Preston/ Andrew Dobson who made it.

Looks great but we don't need another anthology series when all the other ones are complete ass.

The others are pretty shit, at least visually this one seems ok. But yeah, they went with an anthology so they could feature as much different shit as possible in it, and hell that might be why it took what, 5 years to get more if GW wanted the guy to be doing chaos, orks, nids, tau, a half dozen loyalist space marine chapters, having it take place in a half dozen locations, etc.

But in the end it's going to be a bunch of 2-6 minute animated quick shorts that don't really accomplish much other than give some people a visual representation of their minis moving around or something.

Honestly, a 30-60 minute show(not a full length movie, not a 8 episode series with 40 minute episodes or whatever) of a cross between Warhammer and Toy Story would be great. Some kids space marines fighting his brothers orks while they're asleep, can include a derpy thin your paints marine, let the orks think the two players looking down at shit are Gork and Mork, lean fully into the hobby aspect, tabletop specific memes, etc. But that'll never happen.

Ive been looking into Chaos demons a little and I just noticed like 80% of the range on the website is out of stock. Same for the chaos cult factions. I checked a few other factions and theyre nowhere near this bad. Id never actually buy anything on GW's website ofc, and maybe Im just coping, but a range refresh/new models for demons with the new god-aligned CSM stuff thats coming out in the next few months would be absolutely sick. At least a new value box or something, considering my wallet is about to get completely fucked by the EC release on top of whats coming out after.

now that all the god aligned factions are in the game we'll get something wordbearers focused right? R-right guys?

>have 300 novels, like 25% are really ĝood
>adapt none of them
Gw is either the most retarded media company Ive ever seen, or theyre incidentally keeping the normie tourists away so as to not become grimdark disney. I cant decide if its a good thing or bad thing.

Not going to happen. It's just people buying stuff because they'll be able to soup some demons in with EC, DG, TS, WE and like usual GWs production is always way behind(there's a reason they're building a new factory afterall).

edit: So actually reading the warcom article about the astartes 2 teaser thing
This teaser trailer is not actually clips from the new animation, instead showing a compilation of shots that represent the former lives of the characters that will appear in the show. There’s a pretty unsubtle hint at the end as to the nature of the final story... We’ll leave you to speculate and start putting the pieces together yourselves./quote]
Ok so it's a bunch of random clips that don't actually have anything to do with what's going on in the show other than it being I guess a DW kill team based off of the thumbnail. That's even less interesting.

My Iron Warriors need a dreadnought killer on a budget. Which option is best?
  • Dreadnought of my own (most obvious)
  • Use my Krieger tank as a traitor guard proxy (cheapest, since I already have it)
  • 30k Cataphracti Terminators (which have anti-vehicle melee keywords)
  • Daemon engine
Or better yet, what's the best way for standard infantry to take out a dreadnought without it being a pyrrhic victory?

No harm in adding the dreadnaught if you already have the tank.

I've just been reminded of yet another thing that Guy from Midwinter Minis does, which really irritates me every time he does it. It's a stupid little thing, but it bothers me more than it should. He has a habit of ending his sentences with 'huh?', as if to elicit agreement in the viewer. "Not bad, huh? Looks pretty cool, huh?"

I don't know if that's something they do on Paedophile Island, where he was born, like a regional quirk or something, but it sounds completely fake and affected and unnatural spoken aloud by an obvious Britbonger. That's how Yankoids speak.

He's set up a parasocial style that, given his marital troubles, is likely to get what he wasn't getting from his wife (for whatever reason, likely because he's a self-centered dipshit)

So I'm not hallucinating or stupid. Their web design really is that much of a hopeless mess. Amazon and Ebay are better.
Click to expand...
Yeah, their web design is shit, the real issue though is that amazon is a flat discount on models. Ebay more so, if youre willing to buy piecemeal. I dont use citadel paints either, 2 thin coats are better in my experience.

Speaking of, anyone buying the new John Blanche master class paints that Army Painter is putting out?
