Nah being a Raven Guard I notice whenever they want a big space marine chapter beaten by xenos it’s always Raven Guard.
 
>Tau in lore: biggest plot armor imaginable
>Tau on the table: one of the shittiest armies to play
I almost feel bad for them, hell I've heard cog boys are the shooting army now unironically

Well I mean, mechanicus was always kind of a shooting army. Theyre just even more shooty now. I'm sure when the T'au get their codex theyll have some sort of retarded shenanigans.

Skin tone and hair color are both determined by the color of the pigments within, did you not make it out of middle school? You claim that all marines universally adopt the skin pigmentation of their primarch. With that reasoning, the pigmentation of their hair color would change as well.

is that why people with white hair start to turn white? or blacks always have black hair? (oops).
almost like that shit is independent of each other, not to mention vitiligo and hyperpigmentation is a thing. guess your reading deficiency already started in middle school.

But again, most ultramarines aren't even the same ethnicity of white man that roboute is and look nothing like him. So you're just wrong on all levels

I'm not talking about ethnicity, stop trying to move the goalpost in your autistic fit accepting you might be wrong about ultrasmurfs being black (which was your initial claim btw)

more often than not it does alter skin tone ("nooo, it's a flaw you see until it happens for other too when it suddenly isn't!"), which means we can assume it happens in general to some degree too unless stated otherwise. "ultrasmurfs can be niggers because they all don't turn blond" is as retarded as claiming every salamander has the same hair color when they even have shit like green hair (and can also be blond and red depending what you consider canon). inb4 "hurr it's dyed" - because salamanders are the only ones who can do it apparently.

since I know you have trouble understanding what all those words mean:
- take any skin tone
- apply gene seed
- suddenly different skin tone with same hair.

complicated stuff.

But there are black ultramarines, Pedro Kantor is a spic, and doesn't have a remorlty similar skintone to dorn. and again, charaxters like uriel ventris isn't even the same shade of white as girlyman. Do have even a single source that proves your claims? Like an actual source?
 
I need to stop looking at old army books. I’m so close to just buying a load of kits and building a lost and the damned force from the eye of terror codex

Orruk battletome our next week and still no sign of individual release for Kruleboyz from dominion in sight. Good job GW.

The AoS release is so scuffed we are not even getting all the Stormcast stuff either. I wanted the chariots, Lord Commander, and the giga niggas. Just the chariots are coming for me today.
 
They spaced out the indomitus stuff as well. My bet is you'll get 1 or 2 kits for each over week this month.

I hope the Stardrake is better in the new book, and I don't even play SCE. It's a very impressive-looking hunk of plastic.
 
Looking at eye of terror a pure lost and the damned force is unlikely to work properly unless I went six full squads of 30 mutants. If I kept it cheap I could take aspiring champions for HQ with a mark of Nurgle which would treat him as toughness 5 but they only have one wound.
Mutants are definitely suited for a Nurgle / Tzeentch force while traitors seem more geared toward an Iron Warriors / Alpha Legion army. Checking eBay eye of terror and the chaos codex are about the same price together as a modern codex. So I may actually go for it but the next challenge is finding people willing to play 3rd edition again.

Argel's stat line isnt very fluffy sadly. He cant really kill anything super threatening with s6, and he will probably lose every single duel he would get in since he is only t5. Model looks great but they really should have given him the option to take the custodian spear/sword he has. Really he isnt hitty or durable enough to kill anything but fodder.

Here is a little hobby question for you guys. So i have these wip dire wolves. Problem is I have only ever used varnish through an airbrush. What is the best way to get a satin on the fur while leaving the gore alone. Usually I would just go back over fine detail after varnish before. Mistake on my part.

Masking fluid if you can find some.
 
While 40k started out as a parody of the evil fascist space catholics....

It started to become its own, interesting medieval space science-fantasy grimdarkness and it felt like its, unique thing, something totally different from everything else.
It was its own thing, not Star Wars or Star Trek or just general anime mecha 999th variant.

The fans love it because it was its unique over the top shit. Grimdark, super brutal, insanely over the top, all these things were its unique flavor. There was, and still is, no substitute for 40k.

When Star Trek tries to do grimdark, it doesn't work because it was never Star Trek's charm.

Warhammer was always about warfare. Thus it is focused on military technology, warfare, and war-power. And it was the only setting where the authoritarian Empire was well, not the good guy, but not the butt of the joke and a valid choice for playing.

Star Wars for example was, despite its name, not a war story simply but more of a space opera. Star Wars existed not to be super duper deadly, but to be conductive to a great narrative and epic story. Its the same for things like Farscape that tell an interesting story. The story is in the characters, not how powerful the Peacekeeper's newest plasma cannon is.

Stormtroopers and their guns can't be too effective, because if they got super guns, Han would get shot. It was always first about making an interesting story. The technology or military was just side dressing to the story.

Nothing wrong with that. Disney is disliked because they shat on Luke Skywalker, the focal point of their story. Luke is akin to Harry Potter or He-Man as the undisputed MAIN character of a franchise. Shit on Luke and you screw up everything.

Star Trek is a story where technology matters even less. Despite its fake claims "So scientific!" the science there is just a plot excuse, a deus ex machina to make whatever leftist philosophical BIG THUNK PROVOKING thing they want to push. While Star Wars makes a story, Star Trek was about philosophically provoking leftist questions. The Orville still does that when they go for the all gay aliens and their forced sex change for females. To a leftist this is a very dilemmatic question that really makes them think. I just laugh at alien butt chums.
Thus when Star Trek goes all grimdark, it doesn't work. Star Trek was never meant to be a war story, it doesn't excel at it. Deep Space Nine already did a better "wartime" arc than the new stuff.

Dr Who was always about retarded wonky adventures that made zero sense.

Plus I am sure that Futurama and One Punch Man can beat anything. In Futurama, wiping out a big part of the galaxy for a businessman's galactic sized minigolf club is... not a big technological feat. But it is a comedy.

Not even the God-Emperor, Saitama and Palpatine plus Valkorion and Q would be enough to beat Chuck Norris anyway.

Chuck Norris beats everything and anything.

Beeswax could do it and it's easy to remove or you can pay a fortune for Vallajo liquid mask and other liquid masks. However I would avoid using liquid mask for small miniatures unless you like wasting a few hours removing it.

If you really need to mask tiny models go with Mr. Masking Sol NEO. it's one of the easier ones to remove.
