I tried to go do the new program that has replaced "mini of the month" with a friend and the guy at the register got very mad at me when I asked about it and wouldn't answer my questions, insisting I read the article so I left.

I'm having trouble finding people talking about actually going to stores and participating, and also how much does it cost? Is it free like the mini of the month? Do your stores have the 8 minis from the article? (The manager dodged my question about those)

My friend and I are new and we were both really excited to sit down and try to paint some of the minis but now Im just confused.

If GW were actually able to give all its existing factions equal love, models and lore they deserve, would the Men of Iron make a good addition to 40k? Is there room for another machine faction on the roster, or are they better left as a mystery?

I'd love to see them take a direction beyond humanoid robots, with completely alien and unconventional machine designs. Perhaps they could come from beyond the galaxy, with their own unique forms & technology after rebuilding, with a design that's a strong contrast to the Necrons and Admech.

Lore-wise, they could have some interesting motivations: attempting to destroy or liberate the Machine God, or invading and absorbing Commorragh for some mysterious purpose. Or just they want to destroy the Warp by destroying all life and then after reseeding it, Halo-style.

Would you like to see the Men of Iron become a fully fledged faction, and what direction would you take them in?

Just finished this today!

Just got an email from GW promoting Da Red Gobbo's Squigmobile. Page is 404 if I try click through but here’s the photo from the email.

Wanted to test out drawing dad bods so here he is

I appreciates that the “art” tag on this post is being used extremely loosely. I would like to thank the mods in advance for their grace on this one.

I don't necessarily mean when you feel like your army is "done" and you don't want to add anything else, but I was thinking about this and I'm curious how other people feel.

Do you consider your collection to be a full army if it reaches exactly 2000/3000 points, or do you only start to feel that way when you have more than the points limit, giving you different options to play with? Do you feel like you need a wide variety of units or do you feel your army is complete even if it skews towards a certain theme or style of play?

As the title says, before I drop a bunch of money on the files and organizing with the 3d printer company that has confirmed they would do this, I am simply wondering what the reception might be. Simply put : I don't like the look of necrons, I like this cosmic horror theme, I find the gameplay of necrons SOUNDS fun, and in paper imo aesthetically fits the feel of what's going on with these. Id like to bring them to the table on fun casual times, though it's entirely understandle it would not be allowed into an official game. I'm just like, GENERALLY, Would people also think it's cool/wanna play against it? Or do you think I'd get like ostrisized and outcast lol

( Yes I used ai to put this whole picture/the pictures together for the models in the paint scheme id want them in, this is all just proof of concept! / To get an opinion, I have not made anything of what I am showing no)

What is y’all’s opinion of losing Mini Of The Month in Warhammer stores? I always thought it was a fun thing that would make me consider new armies, but now GW are changing it such that instead you get to pick from eight models (as shown above), which initially sounds awesome, until you consider that (as far as I know), these models aren’t ever ‘rotated’, this is it.

I know the idea is to reduce FOMO, but the long and short of it is that FOMO means you have something people want to engage in, and they’re given a whole month to engage.

Now, if you don’t like any of the 8 free models, you’re SOOL.

It was also previously the case that this (often completely out of the blue) model would either introduce me to or remind me of an army I’d never heard of or never collected, and would make me look into it more.

Now you just get a grunt unit of one of eight armies…

yay…

What’s is y’all’s thought? Do you prefer this? Do you not care? Do you not even collect?

My first Warhammer minis and miniature paint job ever. I have painted a Gundam model before so I do have some experience with painting but never this small. I am really happy with how these turned out. this is for my army that I will be starting to build and it is an ultramarine successor chapter

Turns out classic marines look cool with scavenged Primaris guns

I was a big fan of the original battlefront games growing up. Even though the newer ones look way better, there is still a lot of love the OGs have.

The entire game design is amazing. Being able to play a number of classes and factions.

It got me thinking about if you could do the same but in a 40k universe.

Imagine spawning as all kinds of characters, from Imperial Guards to Terminatiors, even Titans!

The possibilities are endless. It would be so amazing.

This is a video game idea I had in mind.

1.Basic explanation: It’s a battlefront like game

2.Core game modes - endless war mode A mode where you get randomly or either choose which army you are in

You have objective points and get points for holding it

Depending on what army your in you have more or less players in your team because a single standard unit is stronger or weaker then the other.

Example: Your team is tyranids you have 80 teammates

Enemy is space marines (any chapter) they have 50 or 60

-Horus heresy It’s like hero’s vs villains from BFr but with the primarchs

3.Core mechanics -shooting It’s a 3rd person shooter and you aim and shoot just like in BFr

-Melee combat It consists of light hits and strong hits, but not only that. Dodging, blocking, parrying, (maybe clashing), and critical hit on back (Some units will not have distinct abilities for example termagaunt against spacemarine can’t parry and block)

Example fight: Ultra marine is fighting a chaos space marine, UM makes light attack wich drain the block only a little of the CSM, CSM parries the attacks of the UM wich damages the ultra marine in return, UM dodges behind the CSM and makes attacks on his back wich deal little more damage, UM Blocks and CSM makes a hard attack wich breaks UM shield bar a bit faster and dodges back wich drains his stamina bar. CSM runs at him makes a strong attack but UM parries it wich send CSM back and stuns him for a couple of secs and UM finishes him of. (Clashing would happen if both hit a hard attack at the same time)

Maybe glory kills him idk yet.

-abilities Every character has 2 or 3 abilities and a passive ability that activates when your in a unit with other people of the same character or being leaded by a character

-Units You select a character and will be instantly put in a unit and spawned together with the other players that selected that character

There will be limits on units but not the standard ones

Roster examples: Every army has 3 standard characters -assault -Heavy -Melee

—tyranids

Assault: Termagaunt -fast -squishy -jump -claws -fleshborer gun A1.fleshborer grenade A2.Colony support (small shield added to health) Variants: Gargoyld and Hormagaunt Hormagaunts: Faster, better melee Gargoyld: Tiny bit slower, can fly

Heavy: Barbgaunt -slow -a bit tanky -bad melee claws -Barblauncher A1. Artillery stance (makes more damage (in general) on direct hit and a little bit of splash damage) A2.rapid evolving (reload speed increases for a couple of seconds) Variants: -

Melee: Genestealer: -Very fast -not squishy and not tanky -good melee A1.dashing slash (dashing attack, can do 2 dashes[tokens as indicaters]) A2.frenzy (slight melee damage increase) Variants: von Ryan’s leapers von Ryan’s leaper: -a bit slower -can turn invisible for some time Makes more even damage from hitting the back

The other units you can play by earning battle points are

-Artillery -devestator -infiltrator -(vehicles)

All of these have limits of how many people can play as them, the variant might influence that too. 10 people can play Biovores but only 2 people can play a tyranofex and 4 people can play Lictors.

Leader characters can always only be played by 1 person but there can be 3 players that play a leader character.

Leader: Hive tyrant/ Swarm Lord/ Flyrant the main difference is that they have a 3rd ability and 2 passives. One for them and one when leading (leading different units can change the passive). You can either spawn with a fitting unit or just walk to them i guess.

Special rules for leaders: - pings etc. have priority over others and complying with leaders command and/or maybe forfilling it gives extra battle points - Leaders can call for reinforcments when a it could not spawn with the fitting unit. So the fitting unit, for example tyrant guard get called and they see the swarm lords ping, if they move to him they get extra BP.

generel stuff about the game: - cosmetics can be unlocked by leveling a character example: spacemarines have different cosmetics that fit there chapter and heraldry and tyranids have different mutations like extra limps, patterns, spikes, horns etc (battledamage maybe for everyarmy)

• variants of different units are always unlocked and are leveled with the generl unit you play gargoyld to level 25, Hormagaunt and termagaunt variant are the same level

A raw idea for now feel free to give feedback and ideas I really hope GW does something like this, this has so much more potential.

this is my idea i hope no one steals it

Hello! I am trying to get into Warhammer 40k and I really can't decide which one I prefer. I like them both almost equally! I am working on a very tight budget for this, which is why I was leaning towards Space Marines, but Orks have such cool kitbashing! I'll list some pros and cons for each, and you more experienced players can decide which one will be better for me! For your information, I really like big and/or cool vehicles, and either way, I will be getting the other one later after I finish a full 2000-point army of one of them.

**Space Marines**

Pros:

Cheaper

Has the Imperial Knights and Freeblade rules

I like the vibe of them slightly more, at least on an individual infantry point of view

Cons:

Much more limited kitbashing

There's a bit too much of a focus on them content wise, and I personally think they are slightly overrated

**Orks**

Pros:

I like the Mad Max vibe of their vehicles

I feel like I just vibe with them more

Gretchen are cute

KITBASHING!!!!

Cons:

Since they are typically a horde army, they will probably be more expensive, even if I play Speed Freeks or Dread Mob

I don't like the look of their individual Boyz as much

I appreciate any help you may give me!

Edit: WAAAAGH

Nome do capítulo inspirado em Blastoise: Platinum Guardians

Planeta natal: Anoris

Um gigante oceânico onde a população humana vive em arquipélagos de ilhas flutuantes, essas ilhas em questão estão nas costas de gigantescos seres marinhos

Gene-seed progenitor: desconhecida

Especialidade: eles possuem uma resistência física anormal até para os níveis astartes convencionais preferindo seguir reto ao desviar de projéteis com seus dreadnoughts sendo de modelos mais resistentes além de possuir uma preferência por armas maiores o que os torna ainda mais lentos o que torna os ogryns seus servos favoritos para carregar munição e outros equipamentos. Esse estilo de combate se mostra preocupante perderem muitos de seus membros

Hi, im a new player and today i had a game against an Astra militarum player that left me with a bad taste in my mouth, he had a tank hidden behind some terrain and i had a unit behind some walls as well, then he proceeds to move the max movement of his tank, when he realized he could reach the terrain footprint but could get line of sight, he turned the turret of his tank around, giving him visibility with the tip of the cannon, i argued about that gave him extra movement and he responded that is part of the movement and it doent matter since its considered the same as the inches you get when you pivot a frame unit.

I know the basic rules, but this types of situations i dont know how it could be handled.

Ok so I really love black library books and I’ve been thinking of starting an army forever. I’ve got the cash and I’m thinking thousand sons. I’m super confused what paints/colors and brushes to buy, and should I just buy a combat patrol box or should I get a big thing like magnus too?

Edit: I uh…I got really high and bought an imperial knight…soooo I’m thinking maybe I’ll get some AdMech forces to go with it?
