>>3380 >game rules Eightbound are shit now, so is angron, but gw is intent on pushing those boxes. Since some people are selling them for only 200 bucks I wonder if I can snag one for 180 bucks from a desperate seller trying to unload them in the near future. >identity GW has decided they are possessed and cultists, all the normal marine stuff like surgeons and whatever are taking a backseat. People are saying "oh but I'm fine with lord of skulls and berzerkers and invocatus being buffed now and don't need more models" but that 'side' of the army is only half what it should be.

>>3381 The problem with world eaters is not differentiation becaus they alread have a bunch of stuff that could be in, the problem is explicitly that GW doesn't want to add it because they're focusing on cultist variants like goremongers or new eightbound stuff like the slaughterbound.

>think world eaters are cool >want an army of berzerkers/eightbound/khornate daemons alongside my word bearers for shadow crusade 2.0 shenanigans >can't stand jakhals >every fucking WE value box contains jackals does anyone like them? I get they have a role on the tabletop, but who wants to collect world eaters just to paint/play mortals? I'll probably pick up the combat patrol once I've cleared my backlog and sell them but I don't imagine they'll be very desirable on the second hand market

>>3386 I have a theory. The reason why CSM armies are so infested with cultists is because horde armies are way more expensive. So they gave the tzaangors to tzeentch to make them more of a horde army. Death guard got a box that is almost all poxwalkers, and now world eaters gets the jackals. Its filler, but way more expensive than the meaningful stuff. Watch, They will add way more fucking cultists to the slaanesh box.

>>3383 I film the opening packages from eBayers I don’t trust (yet).

Recently a lot of stuff I've preorded has been mysteriously canceled by sellers, conveniently after it would be more profitable for those sellers to just sell the models on the side for twice what I preordered them for due to the massive scalping inherent to ebay. I wonder if that's a coincidence, or? >>3386 You vill take see jakhals und zee goremongers and get eggzited for zee Jakhal Hetman HQ GW will soon release.

>>3392 Strangely, he let me keep the cheaper model he sent free of charge and gave me my money back. I'm wondering since this is a model that's common and unlikely to quickly move (I will now have two of these, actually ,but I got my money back so no reason to complain) if he just offloaded this to me while selling the more expensive preorder at scalper prices to make more money. I mean he sold me a Kakophonist for only 36 dollars. The cheapest I see on ebay is 82 dollars. Wouldn't be surprising if he sold it to someone else for 80 bucks and pocketed the difference.

>>3390 It depends but poxwalkers and tzaangors are very cheap dollar wise to the point it's hard to pay people to take them, while rubrics and plague marines were notoriously difficult to gather in numbers without people trying to scalp you. Berzerkers at least came 20 to a combat patrol and thus were not hard to get last edition, the new box sucks more though. >to the slaanesh box EC will have the opposite problem in that they will never get cultists of their own, as their 'army focus' is on CSM only.

>>3394 >$86 The fuck. You live in NZ don’t you? I see that at least one retail shop has them for 56 AUD ex delivery (probably 10 bucks). And 69 delivered on eBay

>>3396 >$86 $82*

My only hope for Dark Eldar being the last codex is that wyches get to have fun again. It is so depressing that what was once great glass cannons now can't keep up with Assault marines, which in of themselves haven't been doing great.

>necron combat patrol is 122 dollars on amazon I could do something nutty in a few months, get that amazon credit card because they give you an 80 dollar gift card, then only pay 40 bucks for the CP. Then never use the card again because it's worthless since it gives you no discounts.

I'm sorry uninitiated, this is what the next step in human evolution looks like, if it's too glorious for you then step aside.

>>3415 >doing all that to end up in the same reclamation pool as the people who didn't lift a finger Pass.

>>3390 I mean it makes sense cultists differentiate chaos from loyalists and it’s not a bad look

>>3423 Iron hands should have battle servitors though.

>>3362 Didn't really get much hobby time, but I did manage to get some progress done on the commissars. But the good news is I did find the right dirt painted sand basecoat+drybrush combo for me. It is AK chocolate chipping as a basecoat and drybrushed with AK light earth.

Controversial nu 40k opinions you hold? Im not talking about lukewarm shit I mean shit that gets you sent to the gulag. I personally like the ATVs

>>3518 I think the new Horus Heresy scale is garbage and that the new beakies should have been either Primaris scale or the same scale as the refreshed Chaos Marines. In fact there is evidence that the heresy was moving towards the 32mm scale as evident by the discontinued and then redone Imperial Fists terminator praetor and the Age of Darkness box set praetors being the same scale as Primaris.

I guess most of the faggots who use image boards are so buck broken they think 4chans /tg/ really was the only place for their mental illness. I will never go back but damn you people sure broke fast.

>>3518 I have no idea what a controversial opinion is at this point. Guilliman should never have come back. Moving the timeline forward was a massive mistake. Now we can't move it back either and undo the retarded things they introduced. If you like age of sigmar I don't consider you a real warhammer fan. Go fuck yourself.

>>412 Necroing a 3 1/2 year old post that anon will probably never see, but don't let the fact that dude was a raging leftard discourage you from reading Gotrek and Felix, or William King in general. The Gotrek and Felix books are good, especially the William King ones, and I'd consider them the best intro novels for Warhammer Fantasy

>>3415 designed a way to efficiently do tiles. I nailed the aesthetic didn't I?

>>3550 Thats not a controversial opinion for instance especially on an image board

>>3550 Thats also not even a controversial opinion on fucking places like facebook or youtube. I have since your exact opinion spoken on every talking point multiple times even redditors dont like AoS

>>3558 You did, you did.

>>3566 I dont go to reddit, I haven't seen any vitriol for AoS lately at all. Yeah when it came out it was hated but nowadays I see so many youtubers shilling it to high heaven. You, tell me what a controversial opinion is! I haven't even seen anyone talking about the ATVs. They look fine. >>3558 Your tiles look great anon. Good job. The cultists look great too.

>>3570 If AoS is mentioned outside of table top reddits its vastly shat on by video gamers who prefer fantasy I noticed that. youtube comment sections? Might as well make it look like a stormfront group if AOS is seen

>>3415 What kit is the head from?

>>3577 Aberrants I like the obvious The Thing reference and I think it fits metamorphs better

>>3571 Yeah, it's like that. You have people who never played fantasy, and don't even interact with board games and wargames in general, who hate AoS. They tend to be mostly active on youtube, as even TWW forums started being more positive towards AoS towards end of AoS's 2e. Most of actual active fantasy fans don't really give a shit as they exist in their own spheres and happy that people will talk about their game and might even post models, and with AoS players I noticed they became more aggressive towards TWW secondaries since mid-3e, and will actively question and gatekeep anyone pretending to be a fantasy fan.

>>3571 I haven't seen that at all. Am I out of touch? >>3589 >will actively question and gatekeep anyone pretending to be a fantasy fan. Oh that is beautiful, The people who love the dogshit slop that is AoS pretending like they are the real fans.

What is the most newbie-friendly edition for the sake of introducing someone to Warhammer and wargames in general?

>>3620 >Wargames in general You want OPR. One page rules is super easy, free rules, good army builder and its twice as cheap as regular 40k. I should know. My 1000 points death guard army doesn't even do 500 points in 10th edition. https://army-forge.onepagerules.com/ Start with firefight.

>>3618 Yes, you are out of touch.

>>3589 >TWW secondaries since mid-3e, and will actively question and gatekeep anyone pretending to be a fantasy fan. Unfortunately no one cares because Sigmar is garbage regardless of whether you own your gargantuan behemats or night maw rapers or whatever other meme name for amries they came up with. It's been 5 years since I realized there were actual organic sigmar fans and 10 years since sigmar was foisted on the general population and it is still gay.
