If there was ever a spice for SM it's their gene flaws. No matter what you do, you gotta have it. As Primarus marines prove, just because you have the same geneseed doesn't mean you have the same culture. Homebrew or Official, geneseed should atleast have some smudges. Simply because the source of their super human nature making them incredibly inhuman is just good story telling. Whoever at GW who thought of geneseed flaws was cooking and whoever decided the most famous, effective and shoved down our throats groups of marines should have totally stable geneseed with no flaws at all should be taken out back and shot. Regardless of if it was the same person.

If anything, it'd make more sense to write less noteworthy chapters has having stable geneseed because that could be their thing. "We're not ultramarines but out geneseed is very stable!" kind of stuff.

While Chaos should've totally given up on trying to have stable geneseed on the other had. A huge part of chaos is mutations so why not lean into that with the traitor geneseeds? Imagine if Black Legion actually had tar black skin. It could go along way to explain why people are weirded out by Salamanders. Chaos geneseed is so shockingly mundane and stable somehow and it's just weird. Give me Iron Warriors with metal skin, Thousand Son's who bleed mana, and/or World Eaters with an unhealthy passion for eating dirt.

Geneseed should be seen as a way to do cool shit with Marines not used to nerf them like it's used 90% of the time.

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked already but I couldn't see it on my phone anywhere. I seen a few comments mention it but I haven't seen the full story. Is this going to have a negative impact on the customer? Will this mean even higher price increases?

Thanks

This was fun to paint.

why the hell is my LIQUID GOLD not GOLD? i swear when i first bought this everything was a bright gold and now its all bronze. ive had this for a few years and i go to use it and its not gold anymore? also the paint itself is sticky, after washing my brushes they stay sticky and have some of residue on them, plus the items i paint become sticky until they dry completely.

I know this is for warhammer, but my recent project was painting my dolls replacement accessories and they came out bronze instead of gold...

and yes i shook it for a good while, i shook it before dipping my brush in every time. and still came out bronze. is there a solution for this, or is it worthless?

A few days ago, I posted some pics about how i painted a RatOgor, a piece im incredibly proud of and im honestly surprised i managed to reach this level considering its only my THIRD miniature.

Thats where the problem lies: Ive received a lot of hate, with people refusing to believe i actually painted it to the point the post was deleted from the subreddit.

Ive started the hobby a month ago (did my first buy on september, a bunch of paints, brushes from different sizes and entire second-hand 1500 points army of stormcast eternals and the Spearhead from the partwork magazines) It was my first time using a brush on a "3d object" and not a paper. Heres literally my first one i did 3 weeks ago.

It was not that hard to make these photos aswell. Just a black shirt behind, good light and basic editing.

You decide if you believe me or not, but i just wanted to share how proud and surprised i am from getting these results as a 3rd mini.

I didnt want to spend much time on this, but it has ended up bothering me a bit...

I’ve been skeptical for a long time about getting into Warhammer, but after playing Space Marine 2 I can’t believe how deep this universe goes. Every time I think I understand it, I learn about a new faction or a plot twist from thousands of years ago. The idea that the Emperor’s genes could one day be recreated, like the Primarchs’ gene-seed in the lore, fascinates me. I’m slowly getting absorbed in this universe and I love it.

I’ve checked the Warhammer TV site and watched most of the Dreadnought, Salamanders, and Sisters of Battle content. Where else should I look to learn more? Should I start with the books or the tabletop game?

Hello.

I haven't been keeping up with try hobby at all.

I made a start when I was in uni and after I left my uni house I gave up.

I've now been asked for what I want for Christmas and I think it might be a good chance to get back into it.

What sets would people recommend?

Maybe another starter set or a small build?

I like 4000 and Age of Sigmar stuff but am open to anything

I have attached some pictures of my previous small pieces just so you can see what sort of stuff I was doing before

Thank you 🥰

Just finished a Shokkjump Dragsta, my first vehicle and largest mini I have painted so far. For any Scandinavians out there the car's colour scheme is heavily inspired by Il Tempo Gigante from the Flaklypa series, as well as an attempt to get the orks looking similar-ish to the characters. I'm really trying to improve with my painting so any C&C is welcome, I would love feedback. I attempted some osl aswell for the first time so any advice on that would be really nice 😁

As the title says, in what order should I read these books to get the best chronological chain of events?

Hello! I'd appreciate the help if can, but I'm wanting to magnetize Belakors decorations (the space marine and chaos warrior) so they can be interchangeable. I run both AoS and 40k and I'd like to just have my friends army colors on each model. I was wondering if anyone has seen anyone else do it, if there's possibly a tutorial, or someone demonstrating its placements. I am unsure exactly where to drill if I wanna do this, as its my first time. Don't wanna crew it up and all. Thank you!

Howdy folks, I wanted to do a kintsugi style effect (Japanese broken pottery art) on my homebrew chapter minis. Does anyone know any good Gold colors to use paint wise? I have a few gold colors from the citadel brand but I’m interested in suggestions. I think Retributor is too dark for the color I’m going with, auric armor gold doesn’t apply the way I want and liberator gold applies good but isn’t bright enough.

I appreciate any tips! Thank y’all.

Standalone kit is a treat, particularly the head options.
