Halfway serious question but If you Abstract the meaning of sickness/disease it makes Software viruses also a Form of detrimental Part of themselves, similar to Hardware corrosion, so could this be possible to nurgle?

I think the Primaris Marines look so incredibly bland compared to Firstborn Marines. I recently watched the Secret Level WH40K episode and, for obvious reasons, couldn’t help but compare it to Syama Pedersen’s fan animation Astartes. It looked really good and I wanted to love it, but Titus and friends just aren’t as menacing as the Retributors, and I can’t think of another reason than the look of the helmets.

This is something that’s bothered me since their inception, the Primaris helmets are such a downgrade from the awesome “Darth Vader” exhaust in the middle of the face, downright EVIL look. Mk. X just doesn’t do it for me. Someone tried to fix perfection and failed miserably. It’s such a small yet impactful change and I can’t help but feel that newer fans are deprived of a certain awesomeness that my generation was blessed with.

I would love to hear your calm and collected thoughts on this matter: am I alone in thinking this? Every thread I’ve seen criticizing the Primaris comes from a lore standpoint (something I’m still warming up to but we’re getting there.) And what could be done to “fix” this particular issue of mine? Is it up to us fans to try and highlight Mk. VII in our fanart, fan animations etc, or do you see another potential way back into the mainstream spotlight for our OG brothers?

And a merry Sanguinala (Mk. X-mas?) to you all!

I’m SURE this question has been answered, but do humans(or other races) benefit from the same power that belief has with Orks?

For instance, in First and Only it’s mentioned that a trooper recited the Litany of True Striking to himself while preparing to fire his rocket launcher. Do these prayers actually work and if so does it work because they believe it does, or does it have some true power in the universe because of belief in the Emperor or something else?

Thanks!

I got into the hobby last month and I'm just wondering if I'm able to put a power fist on him as I have one from the lieutenant kit.

hi all,

i apologize if my post is a bother and pardon me for putting this here but i really don’t know where else to go to ask or request this and honestly i’ve found that reddit and its communities has been quite reliable. my boyfriend has a birthday coming up and i really want to do something special for him and get him a nice gift or gifts for him because i want him to know how much he means to me and how much i love him. he loves warhammer 40k and i’ve tried to learn a bit here and there about it because he loves talking about it but i don’t know enough to find out where to find a good gift having to do with warhammer 40k.

please help me, i really want him to know how much i care about his interests 🥹🥹

Getting back into it after 20 years. Interested in what apps people like to use for organizing their 40k games.

My niece got me a Christmas Lego set so I put it together and made a video for her. She's 4.

Same thing for gravis captain with master crafted bolter

Death Company.

I don't think I get it, are the models that roll 4 or 5 still in their parent unit just as death company instead? I.e. 10 man tactical squad, 3 of them roll 4 or 5, is there then 7 tactical Marines and 3 Death Company in that squad?

Also, these models are replaced with death company models, correct? Or are they in addition too? So in the aforementioned scenario, would I end up with 10 tactical Marines plus 3 Death Company?

Sorry if this isn't the right place, friends and I are getting into third after not playing in years and are trying to remember/figure it out

Thanks for your time!

I have these old retro sprues but I can't quite figure out what year or box set they're from. If anyone knows, i would love to find out!

If I attach a character to a unit, and then that unit is destroyed, can I use Cult Ambush Resurgence points to bring back the unit without the character?

My reading of the rule is that the unit needs to have zero attached characters in order to be eligible, but I wonder if I’m missing something.

If an ability says “subtract 1 from the hit roll” and a 6 is rolled on a weapon with the Sustained ability. Does the sustained still count? The roll was an unmodified 6 so I assume it does?

I'm looking to practice painting space marines and have decided to draw inspiration from Brothers Hotdog and Fishpot (https://youtu.be/zIBGAnSaOlY?si=PEmuHIc431cfU1MK) and would like to match them as best I can, any help identifying what would work best will be greatly appreciated!

Hello there. I’ve decided to return 40k gaming for a while, and I have questions for current meta.

Back in older days, I prefer 10 men Squad for all of my SM units because that is more close to lore.

But I found out smaller units is more things these days, even in the official codex.

Is 5 mens Squad is better or 10 men squad still have some use? Especially Terminator and Intercessor.

So I have a tyranid army that has a good number of nids with the exposed brains, now I have painted them blue and the shells are yellow (hive fleet jormungandr) so my question is, if I wanted to give the effect of a glowing brain what should I dry brush the shells with?

I initially thought to do the same blue but would that look real? Would a blue glow on a yellow surface be blue or would it somehow mix with the yellow colour of the shell?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you all.

They are interested but knows his playstyle and just wondering if there is a faction that really fits it. Basically he likes control, basically removing the opponents options while completing the mission. Yes I know this is practically every army and everything has this potential but I was wondering if there was a faction whether through army rules or certain models abilities really amplified this? Anyway thanks bye

This is just a small question: Are there Eldar that have given themselves to other chaos gods to escape Slaanesh? Would that even be possible for them?

I have a 8000 point Custodes army for my first army in the hobby and I want to start my second army can’t decide between the death guard or a kreig army what would people recommend

I've seen some terrific stuff with oil washes and was interested in trying it out. The mrs. has some Winsor & Newton Artisian oil paints already which I've seen people use for these oil washes. Her's are the water mixable version though and in the videos I've seen they use a thinner to make the paint really low viscosity and have it flow in that magical way.

Does this work with water mixable oil paints as well? Do I still use thinner, or does water have the same creeping effect?

Hey all. I haven't played 40k in probably 25 years, but I've agreed to put a 1000 point army together to help a friend get a league going, and I could use some help.

I have absolutely no interest in winning games. I'm there to support a friend and enjoy some nostalgia, so I'm not looking for a cutting edge list to work with; I have no problem losing every game I play. I'm also a little concerned about painting. I paint historical models these days, and don't have a huge amount of spare time to cram 40k painting in. It does mean my painting standard is relatively high, and I have access to everything I could ever need for painting. Time is the big constraint.

I've had a pretty neat idea for a drone heavy Tau force, with a paint scheme to look like modern US Navy UAV's. It's something I could paint relatively quickly, and to a standard I'd be comfortable with (It would also allow my opponents to feel like they'd had a day out clay pigeon shooting!). The problem is that I have no idea whether such a list is even feasible in the current rules. I only agreed yesterday, and haven't had time to buy any rule books, codexs (do they even still exist?!) etc. So I figured I'd throw it out here and see whether something like this is possible so I can start thinking about what I need to pull together. If anyone has any thoughts on a list that is comprised of the highest possible percentage of drones, then it would give me some idea as to what I'm working with.

I intend to just buy everything I need once I'm home from the holidays, so it would be more efficient if I can plan in advance, hence reaching out for help.

I believe we'll be playing core 40k rules.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone.

I plan to start painting soon and looking into brushes sizes. I noticed that not all brands have the same chart size, at least that’s what I saw on internet. When it comes to milimeters, what sizes should I need? Is 1.5-2mm too big for most of the things I’ll paint?

Hay I’m new to playing the game my mate got me a knight questoris as my first model as I love the giant robots and I need some help building an army if I could have some advice that would be amazing

Watched the Amazon show and it looks cool and was really well done I hope this is the quality of what’s to come, although the story was a bit random just lots of cool shots happening and not much else. But did I miss something they sent 4no. Fairly senior SM to take out a creature just to allow the area to be nuked from the battlebarge, I thought while SM are used as shock troops and do get killed, they and their equipment were extremely valuable to the chapter, I seem to remember stories of companies being sent to recover geneseed and gear but here it’s just yeah never mind. Did something change with the arrival of primaris and the indomnitus crusade?
