Warhammer 40k

[Guntkvd]

I found the Arch stream, where he talks about one of his two projects with Sargon (I assume the other one is an FB rip-off)

https://www.youtube.com/live/4T4Q8i5Zu-Y?t=2935s

Arch shows some concept art, he says his setting will be "objectively superior product" to GW.

https://www.youtube.com/live/4T4Q8i5Zu-Y?t=3694s

Someone in chat tells Arch his human designs are generic, he deboonks the claim with some generic art and tells chatter, in his defence, he got a pretty cool setting.

https://www.youtube.com/live/4T4Q8i5Zu-Y?t=5147s

He rambles about ai. The concept is ripped straight from the first Deus Ex game, but made really, really gay, and low iq.
So his train of thought for ai faction was: cuckrage over EU → socialism → own nothing and be happy → live in a pod → bugman → bug shaped robots
Deep and subtle stuff, unlike those barely disguised woke themes and politics in my favourite vydya.
Sargon and Arch aren't as smart as they think they are.

https://www.youtube.com/live/4T4Q8i5Zu-Y?t=5654s

Arch talks about inseminating holographic catgirls.

Second faction, slavers that carry the white man's Ashari burden. Hard hitting stuff there, buddy.

It's shit. No one will play this, no one will talk about the lore, or Stan those factions. Not because you're cancelled, or people wrongly think you're a nazi. You're a smug midwit, it's taxing to be around you and listen you smuckle. You're the first 40k nigga cancelled for being unlikeable.

As much as he cries over NU GW and warhammer hes In it for life, the thing I have noticed recently is if you are such a diehard chud in the table top space, your only escape is to historicals. Every other game is cheaper but will harbor the same politics GW has to save face see the Trench Crusade drama. Most guys by this point crawled back to Warhammer an use a couple of copes to justify still liking the setting

>I just ignore all lore after 7th!
>Erm I pirate everything!

I dont defend nu GW but the thing is even as GW goes woke with things like black space wolves or constant referencing to how evil the imperium is etc its still technically the most chud appealing setting ever since they will still make stories justifying space marine actions or inquisition actions. Its because they are backtracking and trying to re add in satire elements but do it haphazardly since they have to sell a heroic space marine by next week.

Arch and the entire "chudsphere" of 40k are just annoying who wanna scream the sky is falling and that *WE* need to storm the local warhammers or someshit. It would be more useful if they were to make a chud version of 40k themsevles that ignores 8th lore onward but thats to much work.

Arch isn't capable of "making" anything as he hasn't "made" anything in a fucking decade. His entire online career amounts to the equivalent of dragged out 5th grade book reports talking about other people's(in this case GWs) shit.

This is generic garbage. No one will play this, no one will buy this. It'll do worse than Trench Crusade. And the reason why?

Sargon and Arch aren't as smart as they think they are.

Because no one will give a shit. And Sargon's commentary about modern day society isn't any better. The last time I watched one of his videos in its entirety, I put my notes about it in a post.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ufq00nrey0oThis video is actually hilarious it's Carl just walking around Swindon calling the town a dump

He's bitching about a bus stop...
"you'd never believe that was a restaurant if I didn't tell you" I don't know, the signage all along the bottom with menu items, taking phone orders and shit, would seem to indicate that it's a restaurant. "what kind of restaurant has blacked out windows" there's restaurants with no windows. Some damn nice ones too.
Things were better when it was all bars and nightclubs? wtf? Not having a bunch of shitty clubs and bars is a post...

So we've got shitty art, a norwegian man with a stupid accent that doesn't paint models or play games, and then sargon a brit who wants to act like a bustling mid day open market on a weekday is a post apocalypse because the streets aren't lined with closed night clubs for drunks to be wandering around at 3am. And these idiots think they can come up with a setting anyone will care about, let alone a game? Fuck off.

Does arch even play warhammer lol? I know sargon at least paints miniatures.

No, he's a tourist, already leaving the hobby after shitting it up.

 

[harbringer883]

You don't say lol.

Either way, I realised I have never posted a mini on this thread, so here, my preator I just finished.

I managed to snag it on FB for like 30 bucks after gaslighting the seller that it wasn't the 2016 cataphractii preator because of the shield lol. Since the mini was originally painted as one of Dorn's dogs and I don't have anything to replace the shield with, my headcannon is that the warsmith here stole it off some dornian mutt's champion and keeps it as an insult.

 

[p1138]

No, he's a fucking tourist/secondary. All he ever did was play a couple of video games. Doesn't paint, doesn't play, doesn't even talk about painting or playing, and hasn't read any lore for 3 editions about to hit 4.

Sargon has at least posted pics of painted minis, might have played as a kid, probably couldn't get a game in now if he tried due to being such an unlikeable shitbag.

Don't want black space marines? Then don't fucking paint them black. Where is Arch's army? It's not like he's got a reason to hide it since anyone in his area would know his face and voice anyway. Even his oldest videos discussing WHFB, he's got pictures of armies and minis in the thumbnails but they aren't his.

Meanwhile Lutein, I've seen his knights army. Kirioth, he's shown models he's painted on screen. Baldermort, he was at a 1 day tournament run by a necron channel a while back, I believe he kept his face hidden but he had an army. Valrak doesn't seem to play, but he's got his army and a bunch of other minis painted from over the years. Majorkill has done a video or two discussing painting minis. The only 2 channel icons he has that haven't shown something hobby related at some point other than just their typical gradeschool level book reports, is 40ktheories/remleiz, and Oculus Imperia(the one with the ginger beard) at least that I'm aware of(and I know basically nothing about Oculus Imperia).

Ok, so fine maybe he just doesn't paint. Ok, the guy also never talks about actually playing the game either. Doesn't hobby, doesn't play, doesn't read current shit just complains about other summaries he sees. How the fuck is that a path for growth for a 40k channel? Even if Mark Wells were still running the company like he was over a decade ago(before chapterhouse), Arch's channel would still be fucked. Or even Tom Kirby, it still wouldn't matter if Arch just refused to engage with anything and everyone else has moved on but him. So no, it wouldn't just be current leadership under Kevin Rountree either.

 

[Sargon's wife's son]

I decided to drop another review. Iron Within which is one of the Warhammer animated series, which they only did one episode with. Is actually really good, especially the fact that the planet accidentally summons the Iron Warriors.
I really wish they would go back to doing a lot more of those animations, but I see why they do hammer and bolter. The other ones look extremely expensive to make and very time consuming. I would say some of the Hammer and Bolter episodes are pretty watchable. The one about the Vindicare assassin is good. The one about the Sisters of Battle is good.
Also the one about the Orcs talking about. Yarwick especially. The way he describes him and he's just educating the youth.
I also like the one where the tech priest is just wandering around with the random robot. And brutally murders a guard to take his mechanical arm to repair the robot and a few of his organs.

The one about the Titan Legion I feel like was a bit mediocre at best. It wasn't that good.
I didn't even watch the Age of Smigmar ones. I watched 5 minutes and I'm like, yeah, this sucks. I have no interest in Age of Smeg Molly.

Also, what's a good paint scheme for an imperial? Dominus pattern night. My friend got me one for Christmas.

 

[daniel day]

Chudhammer would fail because the point of the game would just be to dunk on current day politics. Aryan supersoldiers of the Galactic Imperium murdering degenerate followers of Trans’gen’dar’ism, savage nigorks, and feminists. Meanwhile the system would just be a rip off of One Page Rules because that’s easier than mathing out the results of complex rules interactions.

It would be a mix of Vengar Satanis’s awful satire and the racism in Varg Vikernes’s Myfarog but somehow less subtle.

Grifters of either bent are soulless demons that cant produce anything, thats why they're grifters. TrannyHammer and Chudhammer are just two sides of the same coin. Its all very surface level "my side good ur side bad" that has absolutely no substance and no soul behind it.

Arch and Sargon at best could hope to "create" the tabletop wargame equivalent of RaHoWa, something that gets discussed on rare occasion and never actually played(let alone sold), and it's for that exact reason. Arch is a fucking grifter, he's never created or really done anything except bitch about the left online for most of a decade.

Also, what's a good paint scheme for an imperial? Dominus pattern night. My friend got me one for Christmas.

Have you looked up the loyalist house color schemes as a start? You can go with those color schemes and just change up the pattern however you feel like if you don't want to make it your own house/freeblade.


edit: Fuck Arch. I haven't looked at what this idiot is up to in a while.

Points out that he's colorblind, this probably explains the thumbnail... we'll get back to this later.
Minute into the video crying about how his videos aren't making money, showing numbers again. This entire video is some scheme to show how much money he makes an hour or something, showing it took 14 hours to assemble the minis. Says he'll do another one of those scam raffles again or some shit.
Bitches about GW part numbering, no one cares at this point.
Burns himself with a butane torch like an idiot.
Planned himself a paint list, uses his midwinter ice shit primer. Refers to his primer as being light blue, fails to realize how far it leans into the green shade, remember this is his color he chose and he's colorblind.
Fucked up with a yellow that was way too transparent, had to try again.
Claims he could have painted it in 30 minutes if he wasn't filming. Shows it next to some previous retro paintjobs he did, makes it look even more green than it is, also the weird pale highlight on the chest looks like shit.

I looked at this on both of my monitors and my phone, it is fucking green and this colorblind idiot thinks he did a retro blue space wolf paintjob.

Shills his raffle. 2000 tickets at 2.49 pounds a ticket, has sold 800 so far, ends Dec 31st. So at a minimum he'll have earned himself 2000 britbucks if he doesn't sell more tickets?

https://youcouldwin.co.uk/competition/space-wolves-army-set-painted-by-midwinter-minis/

And then his next video about them will be shipping them to a winner, talking about how much he made per hour working on it, etc. So some poor british bastard will have spent money to have green space wolves painted by a colorblind idiot who can't stop talking about money.

 

[Retreaded Tire]

Hey bros, night lords noob here again. Still trying to figure out a cheap paint situation and found this AOS branded Citadel paint set for 40 bucks. (The 40k one has next to nothing I can use). This is what it comes with:
Corax White (Base)
- Abaddon Black (Base)
- Averland Sunset (Base)
- Leadbelcher (Base)
- Kantor Blue (Base)
- Khorne Red (Base)
- Rakarth Flesh (Base)
- Retributor Armour (Base)
- Waaagh! Flesh (Base)
- Bugman's Glow (Base)
- Steel Legion Drab (Base)
- Astrogranite (Technical)
- Agrax Earthshade (Shade)

Planning to base with Kantor blue, use khorne red for the batwings, rakarth flesh for, well, flesh, leadbelcher for the metallics (I would've preferred gold but this is good enough for a wagie) and astrogranite/argax for the base.

What else do I need? I know I need nuln oil to shade the armor but after that I'm stumped.


As far as brushes I was told I only need a 0, 1 and 2 round. I don't know how feasible spray paint would be in my apartment so would probably need a fat brush for primer.

So what's "missing" is highlights for the red and blue, fortunately you can do this with those colors. You can mix a tiny amount of white into the blue and use that to highlight not big deal. Don't do that with the red as it'll turn pink, you'll be better off mixing some of the red and yellow for a slightly orange-ish red to highlight with. Really you won't even need nuln oil as agrax can shade blue and red just fine but if you want to get it, I won't stop you.

As far as brushes I was told I only need a 0, 1 and 2 round. I don't know how feasible spray paint would be in my apartment so would probably need a fat brush for primer.

Brush priming fucking sucks. Brushable primer is usually just getting applied via airbrush, used to correct something, or just prime the tiny piece of whatever you can't be bothered to put on a stick and prime normally. Yeah living in an apartment sucks but if you've got a patio so long as you aren't hosing shit down you should be fine. Otherwise just go down stairs to a common area outside and do it there and as long as you aren't letting the over spray land on peoples cars no one will give a crap about the minute it takes you to prime a squad of space marines.

edit: Another thing about spraying outside. Do it in a box to catch over spray, gives neighbors less of a reason to complain. If the weather is shit, wait till it's not shit or make sure your can of primer and models are warm before heading outside, get it done quickly, go back inside. Might take a couple of trips but who cares. If people in fucking Sweden, Finland, etc. can prime in winter, odds are you can also unless it's actually snowing or raining outside.

 

[Brubby Two]

Here are some generic suggestions from the citadel paints I frequently use for my current projects, but I haven't painted a Night Lord since 2013 and it's not entirely in scope of your question so my apologizes.

Metallics - Castellax Bronze, Hashut Copper, Gehnnas Gold, Iron Warrior.
Base/Layers - Mephiston Red. Morghast//Ushabti (both are great bone tones), Zandari Dust (can double as a bone color sometimes or help accent it), Blue Horror (Helps accent any White lightning effects if your bold enough to try them)
Technical - Blood for the blood god

Edit: Oh I see the bit about the apartment now, yeah that's awkward for spraying primer. Is there a dumpster you can do it by? Using an Air Brush is out of budget I presume. Do you live in an area that has appropriate weather for spraying in the first place? You dont want it to be too cold, hot, humid, or dry. Can be tricky.

Have you thought about what color you want for your trim? When i started the game I went for a bright gold but drifted towards something like this instead

From what I vaguely recall he used to have a skaven army. He bragged about just painting them all one color and dunking them in army painter dip. Which tells you all you need to know, really.
His complete lack of interest in hobby stuff is just bizarre to me. We live in an age of recasts and 3D printing. He can (warhammer) hobby without giving GW a single cent but besides being a skaven WAACfag once he has never been more than a secondary it seems even though Warhammer might as well be his entire personality.

 

[Guntkvd]

Chuddie buddies will continue to be eternally felted, because they create nothing, they can only bitch and complain about content the left creates. You will never win a culture war like that, you can only force the left to do more subversive art and shed the woke skin.

If that's true, then it wouldn't even qualify as a minimum painting requirement for anything so he still fucked that up too. I've said it in this thread before, spray primer the base color, paint the guns and swords silver, paint something another spot color, brown basing material, wash(or dip), done. No effort, meets any competitive event's minimum requirements(there are some narrative events that'll tell you to fuck off with that) and you'd still be ahead of 90% of the people out there with primer or gray shit on the table.

Actually now that I think about it, because his one color and dip wash bullshit makes no sense almost as if he's parroting what he saw other people discussing but not actually knowing what they were talking about... I don't believe he did that either. I'm not saying you're wrong about recalling him stating that, I'm saying if he did state that then he's full of shit.

Could be, it's the exact kind of thing you'd read about on places like 1d4chan after all. Although if it happened it was probably at some random LGS in Norway who may not have cared much.

Maybe. Most of your LGS one day events just aren't going to bother enforcing painting requirements because they'd only get half the attendance(and usually if it's regulars, those people actually are painting shit they're just slow so that's fine). Maybe he did do that, went to a 1 day event instead of a large event, and smuckled about how he was getting one over on the organizers Most of the actual bitching about that sort of thing was always larger events(and let's be real, the people bitching about painting requirements were never going to be doing well anyway).

Even if he did though, I don't recall him ever promoting any of the community created WHFB rule sets like 9th age, CE, fluffhamer or anything like that once WHFB was dead but that's just getting back to the fact that he never discusses actually playing.

There’s also the small but growing community of players using old rulesets or modifying them. Fans making printable 2nd edition assets. A midhammer rulebook combining 3rd, 4th, and 5th edition rules. A community driven narrative delving into the War of the False Primarch as well as a Warhammer 35k narrative exploring the Nova Terra Interregnum. I don’t doubt that we will find an ever expanding market for 3D printed minis in 2nd edition style in addition to Firstborn Space Marines once the entire range gets replaced with Primaris.

Those glory days that the chuds bang on about wanting to restore? Hobbyists are already recreating them out of a love for that era of wargaming.

Even GW are aware that retro interest with White Dwarf 500 having 3 scenarios from 3 previous editions and rules to use with new models though argue if wanting to use Firstborn, then HH models are available. Ultimately it's about the group you play with and as long as in agreement over what the proxy is, then roll some dice and have fun.

And let's face it Arch has been struggling for content/relevance for years now, only time I hear or see anything from him is in this thread. Was going to say the same about midwinter minis but pretty sure I've had his channel blocked for a long time now anyways due to his persistent whining about how tough it is for him to make content, not getting what he deserves when it's just the result of his own poor choices.


Credit to you all posting models, still a long way to go in recovery before I'll be able hold a brush properly but have been bookmarking several posts when people are sharing their tips for when I can so thank you all for that too

It gives me the warm fuzzies seeing older editions get some love. Never worrying your guys are about to becoming obsolete, FAQs readily available and the best part, most of the models are still in circulation. All you need is some templates and a willing opponent.
