>>92744894
It really does, every bad decision GW has made for 40K streamlining and balancing has occurred because WAACfags are the worst sort of people and cant just play like a normal person.
No no, they have to find every way to abuse and break the game, or just make the game insufferable for their opponent, so GW then goes ahead and removes the ability for them to do so in each future iteration of 40K. Its like how we got rid of templates - because WAACfags couldn't just be reasonable about who was hit and who wasn't. Every simplification step has been because WAACfags made something torturous to use or roll for.
>>
>>92744888
checked and actually hilarious post, anon

but I also take this as me being essentially correct, since so much of 40k is Dune anyway
>>
>>92744909
Streamlining has been in service of retards, not waacfags. Stupid take.

and no, having things be made more expensive because they're too good simply by taking the big unit sizes available, with a character or using a strat on them, is not being a waacfag. You actually have brain damage if you think this is complex or abnormal play.

Is there a way to still play your army the way you want to or can afford to play it, and still have fun not losing most or all of your games?

I have finished collecting and painting, my 2000pts army in February and had a blast playing it. Now I wasn't winning, because people around here are all expirianced players and I was playing my first ever table top games. But I was getting better. After around 10 games I started to playing something more, then play till one side is dead games. And it was interesting too. Now GW changed my army, and it seems like the only way to play the faction is to make heavy use of resin models. Now I don't have anything against resin per se, the models look great. But in order to get just one unit, nevermind a vehicle, I would have to stop eating and paying rent for 2+ months. And the post change list seems to require anything from 2 to 4+ of such resin kits. With my saving up, this would mean I would have to not only skip summer, but also autum, winter and maybe get enough money saved up by the time next year summer rolls up. That is a lot of time to wait and I am not sure if I am made to wait that long. Maybe it would have been different, if I played longer or had models to paint. But the only thing I do have to paint is a unit of 5 infantry, and I will never use those, as they are to me ugly and not fitting my army. I don't claim that my stuff is world class tier. It isn't, but the models look just the way I like. Only thing I would change about my army, if I could do it, is for every models to have a Chlamys.

And they are still shit quality and they've gone just shitter.

Nowadays alongside your bubbles, flash, warping and mold slip, you get print lines for free on top.

All FW resin is still cast, the reason why the models have print lines is because they use shitty 3Dprints with prominent layer lines as the masters.
That is the only way you can get both mold slip AND print lines.

Don't buy FW models because they'll help win you games in 40k's current state. 40k's current state can change overnight. Imagine if you saved all that money, bought all those FW models, only for all those units to be squatted a couple months later.

Just ask the people you're playing against if you can substitute a unit you DO have for something you want to use, like "this rogal dorn is a praetor." People tend to be pretty permissive about that kinda thing in casual play, as long as the sizes are roughly similar.

>Models you buy and paint are for the most part good forever supported by the gw eco system
Basically get into warhammer, its not going any where or changing too much.

Then they go through events that have shaken people's believe in that promise starting with fantasy being squatted
Followed quickly by primaris marines radically changing the scale of the faction and making people's models lore irrelevant and worse than the new stuff which hurt people
Then female custodes which shows gw has 0 interest in caring about the lore of peoples armies despite investment people have

Finally they go through all the recently announced age of sigmar models that are being retired including
>The entire army of beastmen being ripped from the game so beastmen players do not have an army anymore
>2 year old warbands for warcry being deleted
>Half the models from storm cast, mostly starter box models, being removed from the game meaning most normal players have to start their collection again or desperately proxy

Yeah, my problem is that I don't have a good stand in for the "must have models". But thanks for the advice. Maybe I will just try to sit this whole things out. I really hope that a new book would have mean at least a partial model refreash. And you hit the nail on the head with the expensive thing can go bad. A FW tank costs almost as much as I have left over from my salary after rent+taxes, but before food/drink/phone etc. If I got 2-3 of those and then they would end up going bad or worse straight up got removed, it would be like getting multiple punches in the dick. I have a friend who end 9th build a wonderful looking, unlike my models, White Consuls army. He had cybots, tanks of various sized. Each infantry unit had a comms and banner guy. And then he painted the army and it looked even better. And then 10th came and after a bit over a year of painting and collecting, GW told him that all his stuff is either going away or is really really bad. He tried to sell the army, but who is going to buy a painted army, which is bad in one go. After like a month or two of 10th ed, and getting blasted by eldar and other marine armies, he just quit. And he wasn't even a power gamer, he just liked the vehicles. I don't think that aside for his tactical squads he had any double unit in his army. Maybe a cpt on a jet bike and one with a jump jet pack.

>>92745226
yeah. you convinced me. Not that I needed much with how much the stuff costs. I would maybe be okey with it, if one such kit was needed to play. But both the YT videos and my coach told me that they are 2 minimum and preferably I should get 3 , to "mix it up" some time. And that I should also get a Cannis, Which I at first though was a joke, because here a Kanis is a word for dog, and Rex aka Reksio is second most popular dog name after Nyger.
I also don't want to buy inquisitors or assasins. I just wanted to play with my dudes. Fully painted by me, to the skill I have. Which I admit isn't some graphic designer/ASP graduate level.

For your long term happiness and sanity, fluffy armies > winning armies. The #1 most important factor in sticking with a hobby is that you like the things you're working on. If you're buying things because you want to win, instead of because it's something you want to put together and paint, you're setting yourself up for failure, and you'll end up trying to sell your army off next edition like your friend did.
> Now I wasn't winning, because people around here are all expirianced players and I was playing my first ever table top games.
I guarantee you this is 100x bigger difference than not having a handful of WAAC units. You're a newcomer to a hobby that's been around for decades and decades. These people have years of practice, both in playing the game, and painting their models. You'll get there, but only if you stick with it long enough.

My army's in the same boat anon. I used to be able to come up with a full, competent force but the points costs keep going down and now my army isn't playable anymore. For your sanity as the other anons said, buy, build, and paint the guys you want to see in your army or else you are going to go crazy. For my army, I would have to paint like 80 skitarii vanguard and 50 pteraxii alongside many chicken walkers if I want to have a good time and the thought of that makes me want to throw everything into a fire.

My painting skill is not that good. If I want the wraps to match a flag I would take the main color of the flag and make that the color of the wraps. That is a great suggestion though. So if the main color of my dudes flag is red then the wraps will be red.

they probably figure the actual product doesn't matter much and they're just selling the brand name. people used to get FW for rare models and fancy high detail shit that couldn't be done in metal or plastic. but all those customers are long gone, never to return. they've been printing themselves above FW quality for 6 or 8 years at this point. "quality" ain't moving product.
So that being the case how do you make sales? same way you sell limited edition AirJordans at 4000% markup. brand name, FOMO, marketing, etc.

Jesus that is a lot of money in a lot of models. My condolances. I know that a lot of people have it rough and not like this new edition. I have seen 9th edition, but never played in it. And while stuff seems to be always unbalanced people seemed to have more fun.

And the way armies are build is odd to. Want to have fun playing marines, then you better not like white scars or generaly something else then ultramarines or black templars. Or stuff like your army, and I think sisters of battle too. Armies that requier 20+ boxes to play, and even more if someone wants the correct weapon load outs.

The more elite an army is, the more GW seems to hate it and the more they try to "unelite" it. Not that they don't try to make non elite armies be even more non elite with even more models, like in your example. But it gets crazy. Marines armies have more tanks in them then they have actual marines.

I've been wondering whether the reason they do this is the guy in charge of cutting their mold was intending for it to start to break down sooner then usual and lose detail/print lines. Would make sense given how they've been squatting resin kits they built molds for within the decade, while resin kits from 15-20 years ago haven't changed much(not saying they were/are nice to begin with) and are still for sale

I'm a little confused about the Baal Predator. Its STC is said to have been recovered by the Blood Angels during the Great Crusade and was never shared with the Mechanicum or the latter Adeptus Mechanicus. However, the production of military hardware on Baal was the remit of the priesthood of the forge world Anvillus, which had been allowed to establish an industrial enclave on Baal's soil. Anvillus has remained a loyal forge world of the Imperium into the present era, but the Baal Predator STC has never been shared with the Adeptus Mechanicus. It follows that the Blood Angels' techmarines, who are inducted into the Cult Mechanicus, produce their Predators by themselves and don't share the schematics or construction methods with any tech-magi.

Why are the Blood Angels being so weird about sharing this one piece of technology with the forge world that was originally supposed to be making all their stuff?

If in a current meta some FW unit is really good an you need multiple of that unit in your army
AND you know, that tomorrow this unit will very likely be banished into legends
THAN
Why not save yoru money and either buy a pirate copy for 4x times cheaper or print it, also saving a lot of money?

I have never met a person who buys FW in my life (i'm from eastern europe) but i constantly read about that kind of... sincere naivety? in the internet.

The minotaur's had to ask for permission to place a whirlwind launcher on a land raider and that wasnt an STC.

Baal Predator, Centurions, and the Hunter were a time when they literally were running out of excuses when it came to new marine models. They wrote themselves into a corner in that setting is embraced on decay and forgetting technology but they need to sell miniatures still.
>>
>>92745959
There is some unknown tech in them. It's unknown because the Blood Angels won't share the schematics with anyone. My guess would be some kind of AI since they recovered the STC from a heretek (which is also likely contributing to the Blood Angels secrecy surrounding it).

Depending on how dogmatic an adherent of the cult mechanicus is, they might refuse to produce anything but STC-compliant schematics. So even if they could make alterations that might adapt the model to be better suited for a task, they might religiously abstain from doing so.

according to my personal headcanon they have no personal connection to them because to them they are just trifles to be made for few cents nothing more
there is clear difference between people who paint actively and use it go get models to paint and those who actively print them and then seek validation because of it

kinda like that old wise saying how people who are really good at sculpting are really good at painting and vice versa only in this case the printing ones are not good at basically anything

when i see 3D printed models the first thing that comes to my mind these days is that this anon is half assing everything on every level except the printing one right from the start

Reminder that out of all the eldar miniatures stuck in resin, which was loads especially at the time, gw remade the already plastic guardians.
The new ones are better, but not essential over the old ones and definitely less needed.
>>
>>92746339
>>92746384
To make this type of photography the most effective you'd have to change up the painting style too.
You'd better lean into a more realistic/grimier paint scheme, mostly because GW's 'eavy metal style sticks out too much in that but there is one fundamental thing about the 'eavy metal style they use.

It exists purely and entirely for marketing purposes, it's only meant to pop out and look good on the cardboard boxes on the shelves.

I can see there's a case for that not being the standard for codices. I mean those will typically have actual interior illustrations included in their graphic presentation. Playing around with model photography can seem like a good idea, but that kinda steps on the toes of what the artwork is supposed to do, so for a codex it might be better to go with a more "plain" photography style that functions simply as a model gallery showcase. The highly edited style with filters and laser beam effects and so on, might be better utilized in large campaign books, where it might otherwise be too costly to commission a bunch of new art or too boring to recycle a bunch of old art, but renderings of snapshots from the narrative are still needed to decorate the pages.

>>92746261
Daemonic Possession is a super cool strat, and there should be more like it. It hugely opens up listbuilding potential because you can take at least one of the regular CSM vehicles and just fucking MAKE it into a daemon so it can blow itself up more effectively as well.

>>92746501
11th will only get some complexity back only if there is a major backlash against 10th and its rules.
And honestly speaking, there hasn't been and most people are just fine playing this broken edition anyway.

This is true. 40K as a brand and even as a sales device is bigger than ever, but actual gaming is at an all time high.

I'm not gonna pretend the old deldar range wasn't embarrassingly low quality, but some of the design ideas in there were interesting and could have been fun to see iterated on. Like the segmented, ridged armor Drazhar wears for his midriff, or the similarly segmented and almost ammonoid style of his tentacle-horned helmet. Not to mention the huge collar that's so wide it guards his sternum and his shoulders.

Like, the model proportions and casting quality of those old models were truly trash, but the mantis-like demeanor of the model and its pose with the weapons is definitely more interesting to look at than the new one is. And adding random ribbons and trim everywhere is not a shortcut to making a model interesting to look at.

I mean, sure, you can put it on a significant part of your army. But Custodes have +1 to wound for a potentially huge part of their army as a detachment rule too, and no one thinks that one is broken. It's very strong, but the whole detachment is extremely offensively focused, it has almost zero defenses. You can hand out a 6+ fnp to a single vehicle, and heal a little bit in melee, but beyond that your vehicles are on their own which leaves them extremely vulnerable. There are other detachments with pretty crazy bonuses, like green tide and the kroot detachment.

For info: its the polyethylene foam that crumbled inside the pack, should be easy to remove... I hope

yes i think majority of anons remember when gamestore walls were basically made from blister shelves instead of neatly laid out boxes
>should be easy to remove... I hope
its just the dark packaging foam so you can tell them apart from each other and dont buy same mini twice by accident

So... I am a no game anon which is somewhat interested in 40k due to GSC and the future EC codex
Anyway, arent stratagems and CP in general garbage? Like I really dont get the point of those things (I came from MESBG)

Removing the foam from the metal is part of the hobby magic.

No, specially for gsc, their stratagems give you lots of tools for common scenarios and buff your units greatly. Your greatest weapon as gsc is acolytes deepstriking within 6 inches (demo charge range) using either the rapid ingress or tunnel crawler stratagems.
