Warhammer 40k

[Humble Architect]

The trannies are funny because 40k is the last blatantly masculine franchise left (no matter what Aaron or the secondaries say) and due to the nature of Space Marines, will stay that way.

So ignore the no model secondaries, most groups are chill. My boys last time we met up, we said fuck it and had a battle royale when we put together two tables and then went to the bar down the street afterwards. Good times. Fluffy games are better the compfagging, I’m allowed to run my Raptors in my EC and my Salamander bro can use Guilliman rules to field Vulkan.
@Judge Dredd They fucked it up, the IF patrol is better for Iron Hands and the upcoming Iron Hands patrol has been adopted by the Fists.

Careful, now. The cracks have already started forming. There was a character informing her superior officer that "gender is fluid" apropos of nothing in Saturnine, and they've retconned Custodes to be more heccin' inclusive already. Pair that with the knowledge that there's an Amazon show in the works at this very moment, and the company who owns 40k is British. Very troubling signs for the future of 40k IMO.
And I don't think the masculine nature of 40k is actually going to impede the trannoid subversion at all. Transwomen are men, after all.

I love terminators, so it's a shame if they are being replaced.

I like some of the gravis stuff, but the prices are eye watering. Also, there seems to be this idea that going for heavy infantry is an Imperial Fists thing. I've been tempted by the Imperial Fist combat patrol because it's all the heavy infantry I like.

quite the opposite, starting with 10th they member-berried them back into being a thing and now the new Marneus Calgar model is seemingly going back to terminator armor. So it seems like they thought Gravis was a mistake instead

 

[Humble Architect]

@The Secret Sauce, first of all, we have this almost every month and a certain secondary has to be silenced. But here are my retorts.
Fuck Custodes and their players, they suck in-lore and exist to job, FFS one got ganked by the Minotaurs. Oh, it’s so unfortunate that a Mary Sue faction got broads in it, explains why they get mogged by marines whenever they show up.

That Amazon shit is in production hell and has our boy attached to it and as a bearer of the Superman curse, everything Henry touches turns to garbage. Love him, but he is cursed and that works in our favour.

The entry is high priced and so is gender-affirming heckin valid procedures. They can post and pretend all they like, but unlike comics or other consoomer shit, to truly be one, you gotta pay the toll and paint. They’re all porn addicts and require immediate satisfaction.
Stay off Reddit, go to your Warrior Lodge meetings, gatekeep where possible and remember this brother, they lost. The pendulum has swung and more importantly, GW will never cave on the marines (they’re the money) and that wall will stand under any storm. That’s it, that’s all the tranny train of thought deserves as discussion.

What’s everyone working on?
I’m trying my hand at some push-fit Iron Hands to get my recipe down.

Hmm I was gonna work convert some BA assault terminators, but now I think I want to wait after the ultra stuff. see if theyll drop the assault squad.

Even GW thinks the Gravis shit looks retarded and had to eat crow.

My view has always been "Centurions look stupid silly, so they are cool" while Gravis armor is just lame stupid. They should just quit while they are ahead and toss all those models with the Phobos crap into a landfill.

 

[Rimanah]

At 32mm and GW level price, I doubt this would work as a guard proxy, but that mech could work as something. Not sure what.

Maybe a sentinel or ogryn, depends on the size and gun options.

Tanks, tanks, and tanks! Painting up some Ultramarine vindicators and razorbacks. Assembling some leman Russes and Rogal Dorns for my kriegers.

As a side note, I quite like the Rogal Dorn, but I wish they had done more to differentiate it and the Malcador. As is, the RD is simply a better pick than the Malc. Also wish the malc hadn’t been legends. But I also really really like tanks, so that colours this opinion.

A lot of thinks that are designed with any sort of flavor will have a contingent of people that think it sucks. Its why things that are made for mass appeal are bland paste. The problem with the first phase primaris marines is that the design is too "perfected". Proportions normalized, armor sleeked up. If you compare are primaris intercessor squad and tactical squad. They arent that different, but at the same time, look completely different.
The old cartoony proportion gives the tactical squad more character. The vox grill gives them a "face". I firmly believe that tacticus helmets had exposed vox grills, people would immediately be more down with it. If phobos marines looked more like how you could make them look in space marine 2. People would be down with it. You can see its slowly starting to swing back to more flavor in design with the units they put out now. 8th and 9th have essentially a completely different aesthetic to the rest of the entirety of 40k.
My personal theory is that they wanted to make space marines somehow even more mass market friendly (and get marine players to buy new space marine armies). Issue being the space marine was already perfected. If people dont like the space marine, you cant change the space marine enough to make them like it without taking away from it being a space marine. Thats why you have other factions. So some people who dont like marines can play tau, eldar, whatever the fuck. You new eldar, tyranids, necrons. You dont see nearly as many people complaining about those models. Its because they are closer to what they've always been. Just higher fidelity.

Just saw that SM2 is on sale, and then I scrolled down. Season passes, anniversary editions... Guess I'm waiting some more years until development ceases.

Terrain mostly. After I got my into the dark stuff I’ve been hungering for more stuff and writing up fluff for why Kill Teams would want to be in X location with a chapel and graveyard and surroundings. Much better than the simple construction yards or power plants I have currently. Fully finished the Gaunt’s Ghosts series.

Honestly, do not use reddit as a metric for trannies in the community. I live in a libshit major city and I rarely ever see trannies, even at major events. The reason why they cluster on reddit is because they are so socially inept that they can only survive on groomcord and preddit, rarely playing games and if anything only ever autistically painting minis. As much as reddit wants you to think that 40k is le hekkin chud free 100% tranny safe space, it really isin't, yet at least.

Oh yeah, I fully get that impression.

One of the first posts I stumbled on in the Warhammer40k sub was some dude that painted space marines in all the tranny flags and pride flags, etc. and practically all of the comments were either the usual Reddit tranny worship or complaining about downvotes and comments that have clearly been nuked where they weren't sufficiently praising it.

It really seems like they have to do a lot of active moderation to ensure that it's a massive hugbox, just super weird to see though.

There has been a lot of advancement in tools and techniques. Even models themselves but the warhammer community seems hostile to all of it unless GW makes an official, overpriced (and often shitty) version.

That's one thing I've noticed, there's *so* much new cool shit and the way people paint things now is super different and then there's all the contrasts and shades, etc, definitely a big step up from the Goblin Green bases with the radioactive green flock.

When I last bought any Warhammer it was like 4th edition and now I've got a big pile of shit to work through that I just picked up but I am so bamboozled with all these new painting techniques that I haven't even started.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

HH as a full story is so unnecessary. I like the series and story but I look back and wonder why was this written other than sales? It’s completely unnecessary and the stagnation of 40K would be better off without full explanation.

HH is a microcosm of GW lore. A lot of plot threads thrown by different authors over the span of 2 decades only to end with a lot of them being, at best, relegated to plot lines in future 40k books where they won't matter in any way.

Stuff like the Perpetuals is there to create a cast that isn't just Astartes, but the issue that they are just as detached from humanity as those are so there isn't much of a point.

There's at least one mod active on those subs at any time of day to keep that shit curated. The fact that r/sigmarxism is one of the biggest warhammer subs is a sign that something is fucked.

That guy(it's so fucking ridiculous that I know which painter you're talking about) makes his rounds on social media posting his bullshit everywhere about once every month or two to receive le heckin' updoots and as bait if anyone posts anything about it that isn't praise including calling out that he posted the same shit 2 months prior.

That's one thing I've noticed, there's *so* much new cool shit and the way people paint things now is super different and then there's all the contrasts and shades, etc, definitely a big step up from the Goblin Green bases with the radioactive green flock.

These 3 guys cover a lot of shit without the faggotry and clickbait nonsense most other channels have. Vince actually paints armies rather than just the one mini most channels pull out of the latest free box from GW and can afford to spend 30 hours on because they never play anything. Marco paints entire units while explaining advanced techniques but it's mostly just a lot about color from his professional oil painting background. Juan just does a lot of solid explanations of shit with proper demonstrations. Honestly one of the biggest changes in building/painting over the years has been finding products outside of the miniature painting hobby and that could be anything from scale model building and gunpla(or even model trains), professional artist paints(acrylics, oils, and even pastels), and even shit from the makeup and manicure/nail art markets. Rather than paying for GWs overpriced tools, a spoonful of overpriced paint at a time, etc.

Wait, sigmarxism is still around? I hadn’t heard about it in years, I figured it’d died a well deserved death.

A tranny cat girl marine, some shit about helldivers, a female space marine, some purple likely female marine shit, and then a repost of that same damned guy who posts his tranny flag marines every couple of months. They're that predictable even. Then following up that dumpster fire. A normal looking post about Lamenters. Then some shit about commie space marines beating up nazis. A shitty ripper swarm paint job, a pregnant emperor and malcador MS paint pic. Fallout shit for some reason. Another awful paintjob on some random mini with an oversized shotgun. Some fan art female marine codex cover thing. Another Lamenter space marine. Some shit about an African WHFB faction. An iron hand paintjob that looks ok, but then immediately followed up with another tranny flag emperor's children paintjob. If anything their activity might be a bit lower currently because they got r/horusgalaxy nuked after r/vengefulspirit and none of them actually play anything.

Just look at what they think is a "good" paintjob. It's a drybrush, some texture paste, tufts, and they couldn't even paint the base rims worth a shit. Because statues in a desert commonly have random foot tall piles of grass on them sticking out sideways?

Coincidentally I just finished a video on the falling painting standards of Warhammer. I'm not the best painter but if you can't base coat, recess shade and add a couple highlights you're beyond help.

Yeah this time it's sisters of battle, but it's still faggotry and these people don't play, don't read lore, and really barely paint all things considered(you almost never see an army pic from any of them, it'll just be a combat patrol or some other pile of 200-500 points of models, and then their spastic ADHD takes over and they move onto something else). You can even see what I mean just looking at their reddit posts

https://www.reddit.com/user/CerbXT/submitted/

Spoiler: the same shit over and over

And then its the same shit on their instagram over and over

https://www.instagram.com/cerberusxt_figurines/?hl=en

Spoiler: more repeated shit

And this isn't factoring in other people reposting this dude's crap repeatedly. Yet if you look through their shit... they can barely put together a single combat patrol let alone an army for even a 1,000 point game.

I thought the ableism part was hilarious, because yeah anyone running an event would make a reasonable consideration for someone who can't actually paint due to a disability. But that's never the case. That being said, tournaments still have standards and most of the time I end up seeing a pile of grey on the other side of the table it's in a casual pick up game with some "fluffy" list, from someone that plays maybe 3-4 times a year, and hasn't actually painted anything in 2-4 years making zero progress over time but if you ever question it, they seethe and rage over the shit.

 

[Love Machine]

Painting really isnt that hard. hell you can get great results on things like contrast eldar and it takes literally no time at all.

It's not, but there's always been a weird group of casual players(this has been the case in other games as well over the years) who throw tantrums about being told to paint their shit, and will complain about tournament painting requirements(which are simplistic as fuck) that they never go to anyway. Even a meta chasing, swap their army every 3 months tournament player can...

Rattlecan base coat their models with a colored primer. Paint guns and swords silver. Add a secondary color to the shoulders or helmet. Tint some drywall spackle brown and smear that all over the base, dry brush, wash, and be done in a couple of hours. Will it look like shit? Probably, but it'll still be better than bare plastic and will easily meet any tournament painting standard easily.

The worst was probably the warmachine communtiy toward the end of mk2, and during mk3. Those insufferable retards would throw tantrums in the store if you dared hint that they could paint their models easily. And a lot of the tournaments especially during mk3 didn't have any painting requirements due to the tantrums the community threw so at times you'd see 20 tables and maybe 10 painted armies(the 2d terrain thing didn't help matters either) among the seas of grey plastic, bare metal, and maybe black primer.
