Warhammer 40k

[HTTP Error 404]

Are you guys familiar with a channel called The Outer Circle?

Yeah, he's pretty interesting. He's a rare 30k fan, and has been openly critical of GW for a while. I get the impression the shills would like to cancel the fuck out of him, but he doesn't touch politics with a

pole, so they can't do shit about him.

I use clearcast resin for preserving snakeskins and fresh-dead turtle shells (when they still have color & patterns before the keratin scutes rot off the carapace); never realized you could make WH40K minatures out of it.
I'd imagine you could easily use it to replicate water for a terrain piece/scenery board though.

Does any of yall's resin feel rubbery though?

My 3d prints feel rubbery when they aren't cured yet. Putting them in the sun for an hour or so fixes that.

Resin pours are a common and useful technique for that sort of thing, yes. You don't see it all that often in 40k outside of dioramas, though, especially relative to the amount of models made from urethane resin.

Played a game with a real woman the other day. My Custodes vs her Space Wolves.

A real woman or a “true-and-honest woman”?

So, I’m going to bite the bullet and get into AoS. My area has more AoS players now sadly than 40k or 30k. I honestly don’t know much about the lore because I ignored it since the old world was squatted. I’m thinking of doing Orcs because I have a bunch of older models and I thought the ironjawz starter box was interesting.

Will people be fussy about the square bases? I have no desire to rebase an ork army. If there were less models sure, but no way I’m tearing my bases apart. I’m drawing the line somewhere… I don’t care if I’m penalized for it and I’m mostly interested in AoS for casual play.

What percentage of my models are usable ie have rules? I don’t care if they’re not optimal.

How much of Orc lore has changed outside of the copyrightable name?

Anything I should know about? Any recommendations from anyone that actually played AoS and once played WFB? How different is it from 40k?

Re: Bases

Have you considered one of those cheap Base Converter kits?

Base Converters

Wow, you finally got your army based, but now the game system you play has changed the size of the standard bases. Or worse yet, they've changed the style of the bases from square and rectangular to circular and oval. What to do? Well, until now, that pretty much meant a prolonged rebasing of...

That’d save me lots of work... I just didn’t want to tear them off and start all over with the basing. Ones I haven’t based wouldn’t bug me.

I‘ve played a few games of AoS 3.0 and I like it. It’s engaging even when it’s not your turn.

Start cheap, because you may decide you don’t like it and you won’t want to be stuck with a pile of expensive books if that happens.

The Core Rules are free as a pdf. Ask somebody for the new point value chart (from the General’s Handbook 2021) and put together a half-assed army with the models you already have. If you don’t have a recent ork battletome, just download the warscrolls for your units from the gw site for each model and use the generic army battle traits from GH2021.

If you try it and like it, I recommend getting GH2021 so you get the points values and battleplans along with the core rules. Get a battletome if you feel like it. Or don’t.

If someone wants to be a dick about square bases, tell them to fuck off with their great gray hordes (base autists never paint their armies) and play someone else. If it really bothers you, rebase or just glue your original base on top of an “official” base.

Sounds good. I will probably pick up the ironjawz box because I like the minis (edit not minions lol). Not sure if I’d want to get the new Orcs that just came out, I don’t mind them, but they seem too sneaky for my liking. I don’t mind using what I got even if it’s not optimal.

I just based over half my army. I don’t want to ruin the bases by tearing them apart. Plus I put a lot of work into the bases.

The only things left are ‘Ard Boyz, savage orc units, night goblin units, forest goblin units, and river trolls. But that does not mean you can’t use the other orc units as proxies for the new ones. You’ve just got to find the ones that fight the best.

The way the rules are set up is that Orcs can be in one faction or their constituent subgroups. All Ironjawz, Savage Orruks, and Kruelboyz can be in the same army while night goblins, forest goblins, and trolls can be in the same army. Or you can have a big Destruction army that uses all your models, though you lose out on special faction abilities.

Lorewise, Gork and Mork are now one entity, the twin-headed Gorkamorka. He joined Sigmar’s pantheon after Sigmar beat him in an apocalyptic 12 day fight. Eventually Gorkamorka broke from the pantheon, started the Great Waaagh!, leading a horde of greenskins across the Mortal Realms that at its end saw Gorkamorka break apart from Orruk infighting.

The various Orruk species represent different aspects of Gorkamorka. Bonespiltterz are feral monster hunters, Ironjawz represent Gork’s brutality and Kruelboyz’s Mork’s cunning. The goblins worship the Bad Moon, a moon that Gorkamorka couldn’t eat while the forest goblins worship the Spider God which became divine after biting Gorkamorka’s foot.

Basically, AoS kicked the insanity of orcs up to eleven.

White girls fuck dogs, you know.

Was at a game/comic store and overheard some people talking about 40k and they mentioned somehow even worse then wanting female space marines.
wanting male (tranny) Sororitas.

I'm not the most well verse in sister of battle lore but I'm pretty sure a lot more would have to be rewritten to allow for that heresy then female marines.

One of the Emperor TTS team weighs in. They think GW would be stupid to try going after TTS, but it's also apparently terrifying them.

Didn't GW hire someone from fucking WoTC for Warhammer+? Some director level project manager?

Games Workshop readies Warhammer’s move into film and TV as Finn Arnesen joins as Head of Entertainment Development - Brands Untapped

“There is a tremendous appetite at present for series set in unique, fantastical worlds, so with Warhammer’s thousands of stories, numerous worlds and countless memorable characters, our options are virtually limitless,” said Arnesen.

Yup. Finn Arnesen.

I don’t think this was the work of one person, new hire or otherwise; and whataboutism will have the opposite effect. GW has been very insistent about all their more trademarkable renamings, because they fucking know they stole shit and are now trying to build a defense that they didn’t.

Face it, GW made their money and are now pulling up the rope to make sure nobody could ever do the same with their IPs.

Sometimes Gorkamorka splits apart so that he can fight himself.

Long story short: After a big civil war in the Imperium (the Age of Apostasy) the Ecclesiarchy was prevented from having any organised standing army (only small militias and self defence forces). Well technically "men at arms", the keyword being 'men'. So the Ecclesiarchy enlisted the Sister of Battle and although people were kinda pissed they eventually calmed down since they assumed that the Sisters of Battle would not be a mindless tool of the Ecclesiarchy and if another Age of Apostasy were to arise they would deal with it internally.

So the real question is: would trannies be considered men? Old 40k, a tranny would be burned at the stake, the Ecclesiarchy wasn't exactly known for it's tolerance of free expression or deviation from the norm (also sexual deviancy is a sign of Slaneshi corruption), now modern 40k however...

Eh, SoB look enough like trannies anyways.

I do like the fact that Gorkamorka will sometimes get into massive arguments with itself, split into two entities again, and basically cause the whole Destruction alliance to go absolutely bonkers with massive civil wars. Then, a particularly shiny and untouched new city will appear in the Realms, distracting Gork and Mork so much that they unintentionally merge and the various Greenskins and big fatties set their sights outward once again.

I mean... that's just peak, glorious Orc. IIRC in 40k you'll have literal holy wars among the Orks as one side believes Gork is the god of kunnin' brutality and the other believes Mork is the god of kunnin' brutality, so its nice to see something like that return to Age of Shitmar.

but this is an even better meta-thing because now we can have some bullshit Grant Morrison type moment where Slaanesh is looking at the reader and telling them he's already infected your reality.

come on GW, you steal shit. this would be a pretty funny way to acknowledge the bullshit in a wink wink nudge nudge kinda way.
