Can recommend the A1, very easy to get started with and really simple to repair, should anything fail.

Nigga that's what OPR is...people playing a new game system they prefer. You asked.

I just liked the OPR minis and was trying to justify a purchase of $80+ in STLs by maximizing value. Being able to build a 40k army on top of a OPR army with them makes them inherently worth more. Heck, I wonder if they can be used to make Kill Teams too.
Besides, GW forgot to finish the freaking NuSquats army. Even ignoring the not so great art direction NuSquats took -- they were so busy finding a way to make female Squats a thing that they fucked up the aesthetic -- they just didn't finish releasing everything. I couldn't make a full NuSquats army if I wanted to, I don't think?

I really like their High Elf Fleets model range. I prefer the look of Eldar tanks, but otherwise I think the range looks amazing. Makes me actually want to play elves.

Just got back into the hobby after a while and bought the dark eldar combat patrol. Anyone have a simple contrast paint recipe for the box art armor? I'm fine with the standard base shade highlight formula for HQs but I can't be fucked to do that for all the troops .

For rank and file Kabalite warriors use the following
Base: Terradon Turquoise
Highlight: Warpstone Glow
If you want to make them look a bit nicer once your army is up to tabletop add the following
Edge Highlight: Warpstone Glow + Sybarite Green in a 1:1 ratio
Dot Highlight: Sybarite Green

Thanks. I like TTurquoise but it seems a little lighter than the black heart scheme. Should I prime black and zenithal grey or dry brush first?

Give it a go on a test mini first. If it doesn't look good try mixing the Terradon with single drop of black Templar.

Cool I'll play with it and see what I like. Deldar seem like one of those ranges like tau where edge highlights can make or break the scheme but I'm a beady eyed fuck who struggles with fine lines. Really enjoy the kabalite side of the range, especially Incubi.Hopefully when the codex comes out we get a detachment thats built around them. A new vect on his pimp wagon would go hard too.

For me, this was probably one of the biggest disappointments from GW in the past couple of decades. Abandoning the original aesthetic and running with whatever the fuck Votann are supposed to be was such an anticlimax.
They didn't even have to be their own distinct faction. We could have had Squat auxiliaries for the Imperial Guard. A standard squad, a unit of bikers and some heavy weapon teams like the Mole Launcher and Thudd Gun. If they really wanted to push the boat out they could have given them the Thunder-Fire Cannon as a terrain/artillery piece.
They would have served better as a nice callback/bonus instead of another unbalanced, half-finished faction.

Im happy that Eldar finally got a good update, I have slowed down making newer armies but I mostly wanna cap out at making an Ork and Eldar army to finish my 40k lists. I mostly have been playing 30k with my White Scars but newer 40k releases always bring me back in. Especially, since leaks dictate GW wants to give the minor marine chapters pity releases again so I will have to buy the Raven Guard and White Scar updates.

Make them part of the Talons of the Emperor. Custodes, Sisters of Silence, Squats. You'd have a complete army then.
But yeah the aesthetic is what gets me. I don't like "slightly fat space marines (to make them sex neutral) with faux runes." I want "drunken biker gang in space."

I also noticed there seems to be a split, GW actually are really forwarding a narrative whatsoever right now. They give off the illusion and I know grogs here say they hate advancement but what advancement is really happening? Grogs are pissed the setting went forward but the guys want the setting to move forward are complaining its not happening enough.
Whats the verdict on this topic now?

It went forward, then they reversed course and froze it again. The setting is now permanently in some sort of quantum Indomitus Crusade era, where they're both on the Crusade and slightly after it depending on when you look and cause the waveform to collapse.
All of the lore I've seen hints that they're gearing up for a 40k End Times style event, but they'll never have the balls to do it.

Seems to me like the Indomitus Crusade is firmly over, and the fleets are splitting up to better secure the half of the Imperium they actually control. Robute is sending out groups to deal with things left and right, nids, necrons etcetc. If they do move it forward it will be after whatever they're cooking with Armageddon.

For contrasts you'd want to use a white base or primer. I've not been able to have good results undercoating with dark paint, the ink part of contrasts is too translucent. Maybe terradon turquoise is different, but from what I've seen you need to base white first.
In case you don't want to spend citadel's upmarked paint prices, vallejo Xpress paint "Snake Green" or army painter speedpaint 2.0 "raging sea" do the same job:
For anyone else who doesn't want to spend more money on paint: a glaze medium with any teal does the trick. 1:1 parts paint and medium. Glaze medium, lahmian medium, they work well.

Iirc the crusades were set off hopeful and with an aspect of complete dominance until the new edition and all of a sudden they were on the back foot getting torn apart and pushed back mostly because of narrative ass pulls

I'll be honest, I have no idea what the Indomitus crusade is. I know it has something to do with Guiliman traveling around the galaxy, but what the actual goal, or what they managed to do I don't know. It only ever seems to reference a period of time after the fall of Cadia rather than an event itself.
I don't think people have a problem with the plot moving forward as much as they do about it being super contrived and shit. There has been some effort to correct it over the years, but this is GW trying to mend wounds rather than make something new. The reception of AoS definitely didn't help. They really did seem to want a 40k End Times and probably pulled the ripcord. They've been picking up the pieces ever since and don't seem to have any idea what they actually want to do with the plot. They do need to be careful because every time you try to introduce a galaxy threatening event you have to follow through on it or people become desensitized. I don't mind bringing back primarchs. i think Guilliman was probably the best choice possible to bring back. I enjoy hearing about his Ultra-depression. The Lion came back and has done absolutely fucking nothing. So it's not that primarchs = bad, but if you're going to do it you better have a good reason. Actually do something with it. GW too often will start plotlines that lead nowhere. It's the worst of both needing to move the plot forward, but never allowing any of it to actually change anything.
