Warhammer 40k Thread (Page 2 of 23)

I still haven't been able to successfully bring up 40k to my friends or family. I have no idea where to begin and despite youtube being where I got most of my original info from, it's not a great place for "what is 40k" videos cuz that would have to be under 5 minutes long and I've yet to see one short enough to be palatable to casuals that was also well done and engaging. But I get why its hard to make that content. |

Here's the Imperial Guard Sentinal I just did. I made a lot of mistakes but it was still fun to do. Ipotato pics:

Love the miniatures, but never got a chance to play 40k. I did play a lot of WHFB and still have my undead and O&G armies.
I can't paint for shit, but I have a few professionally painted minis that I get out and lovingly caress from time to time.

To paraphrase MLK, the best time to act to prevent things we don’t want to happen was years ago; the second best time is right now.

I've only been in this for about a year, but I like how the plasma pistol and melta gun conversion I did looks. It's the scion 2nd from the left. |

With most every activity cancelled these days for kids' school, kids' sports, volunteering, etc., I've actually had time to do some painting. I'll have to break this into a couple of posts. Right before all life was shut down, my group was looking at possibly starting a Necromunda campaign. I went hard right and made a Venator gang using the Squat stat line. I'm close to being done with them, with only a little touch up left to do. I apologize now for the fact that my skills as a photographer and my raw talent as a hand model are equally lacking.

Another Humble Bundle for Warhammer books is up. Basically pay $15.01 and you get ebook versions of all of these. Personally, $15 for Ciaphas Cain, Gaunt's Ghosts, Eisenhorn, and Ravenor is a freaking steal anyhow. Deal is going for 16 days and 21 hours as of this post. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/warhammer-40000-series-starters-black-library-books $1 gets you Yarrick Ciaphas Cain: For The Emperor Last Chancers: 13th Legion Space Wolves: Space Wolf Mephiston: Blood of Sanguinius Mephiston: Blood of Sanguinius $8+ Space Marine Conquests: The Devastation of Baal Gaunt's Ghosts: First and Only Night Lords: Soul Hunter Ahriman: Exile Watchers of the Throne: The Emperor's Legion The Horusian Wars: Resurrection Tome of Fire: Salamander Kingsblade $15+ Eisenhorn: Xenos Ravenor Ultramarines: Nightbringer The Talon of Horus Vaults of Terra: The Carrion Throne The Beast Arises: I Am Slaughter Space Marine Battles: Rynn's World Rise of the Ynnari: Ghost Warrior Sisters of Battle: Faith and Fire Blood Angels: Deus Encarmine Farsight: Crisis of Faith Storm of Iron |

So I was into Warhammer 40k big time back in the early 2000/2010 but eventually quit playing and sold off all my stuff. I had purchased a big Vellejo paint set around 2010 and it has sat in the closet since then. I just found it and amazingly all the paints still have liquid in them. So my question is, do paints have a shelf life? Do they go bad? I've been checking out some of the new Space Marine and Tau minis and I'm starting to get an itch.

GEAUX TIGERS!
| The stuff shown off over the last week for the upcoming 9th edition has me cautiously optimistic, particularly the Crusade campaign rules. And the AdMech stuff from Engine War has me pulling out the Omnissiah’s faithful and setting aside my World Eaters right now. |

Quick question. I've had a bit of "free time" on my hands lately and have been watching a lot of 40K fan films on YouTube. I noticed it seems everyone is referring to the Space Marines as "The Astartes" instead of "The Adeptus Astartes". Was there a change in the general naming convention in some revision by GW? Since the Rogue Trader days it was always the various Adepts of the Imperium, Adeptus Astartes Adeptus Mechanicus Adeptus Ministorum etc. |

They are the Adeptus Astartes. Sometimes it's shortened in both official and unofficial sources for the sake of shortening the mouthful that the term is. In the last few years GW has actually tried to slowly move away from space marines toward Adeptus Astartes, but this is more due to the fact that they can't copyright that term. |

In several of the "History of tge Space Marnies" type vids, the narrator talks about, "The Astartes are the elite fighting force..." I like the formal terminology, it sounds cool and has that "old" oubd they're going for with the pseudo Latin. I'd at least use it initially. In my day the Space Marines was the nickname (short hand) for Adeptus Astartes. |

I love the scene when the Marines are walking down the corridor to board the breaching torpedo and they pass the serfs on the right. The size difference is really illustrated well. |

If you haven't, check out Death of Hope. It's a fan made Heresy movie mostly involving the Ultrasmurfs and the Wordbearers. A few World Eaters show up. There are 2 "trailers" that are actually sort of prequels, then the main episode which is set onboard a Wordbearers battle barge in the warp. Very much a return to grimdark! |
