Got my first ever tattoo! It was made by a relative. They are an amateur artist but I'm satisfied with the result. It is work in progress still. I'll have the salamander filled in and Nocturne written on the papyrus in high gothic. What do you think?

As the title asks: did any of the heretic chapters get a successor chapter, or is their gene seed purged at the end of the heresy?

How do everybody, my name is Lupus and I have absolutely no clue about almost anything warhammer. My coworker is an absolute unit when it comes to it and talks constantly about it to me and I just kinda nod my head and let him talk, and I will admit, he has peaked my interest. I'm almost done with the Helsreach book and gotta say. Love it. So I'm looking to get really into it more specifically the stories, so what should I start with? I've heard about the Horus heracy books. I've also been told I might like the Space wolves chapter. I want to dive headfirst into this and absorb all of it.

I‘m building a Rhino and it seems that there‘s nothing fitting to glue to the hatch? What‘s it used for?

Just learned that all references to the upcoming Necromunda RPG have been scrubbed from WarCom. Even the Autumn Preview article removed any mention of it.

When 11th edition started, it seemed like Hidden would be a key factor in every game, especially when shooty armies were involved.

However, in all of the 15+ games I've played, I think it prevented me from shooting only once? Between the fast movement, large terrain footprints, being able to toe into those to see all the way through, and being able to toe in on the outside edges where walls used to be in 10th, it just seems trivial to get within 15 of something and shoot it.

Not a single one of my opponents has ever taken or relied on rules that increase detection range, and neither have I. Gone to ground is so hard to get that it also never comes up. Every game has reverted back to the 10th edition style of staying outside the footprint until I'm ready to activate, which hidden was supposed to make less common, I thought?

Idk, it just seems like a flop of a rule, especially since every new book has hyper mobility built in so far.

Has hidden been a huge factor in your games, it has it been as irrelevant for you as it has been for me?

ETA: I only ever play on 11th competitive terrain layouts. Also, in response to those saying "it forces your opp to get closer" that's definitely true. However, in my experience whenever they get close enough to shoot, whatever they shoot at is 1 tapped and wiped off the board. Because of this, I almost always stage behind a footprint or solid wall, so my opp never even tries to get within 15. This has made almost all my games play out like 10th edition: we both stage behind ruins to avoid getting 1 tapped, and only commit when we have to. This makes hidden almost never come up, and no one I have ever faced has even cared about detection range rules.

I know some things about Warhammer 40k but I am trying to get some info about which is the best starter army and more importantly how to get started and more importantly how much lore I need to learn in order to enjoy the world of Warhammer 40k

With Ghaz and the loyalist Primarchs going up to 16 wounds, in line with the traitors, how do we feel about our demonic primarchs being of similar saves and wounds, as well as damage output? Sure, we have 1 toughness (2 if your name starts with M and ends in N) on them but is that all the ruinous powers offer, an extra toughness? (Jokes ofc)

In short, I predict we'll see demon primarchs bumped up in wounds, anywhere between 18 and 22. What other changes could maybe elevate them in power to show a lore accurate gap between the loyalists and the traitors? I know the loyalists consistently beat and banish the traitor primarchs but it's always framed as George and the dragon, David and Goliath, ect. Overcoming a terrifying foe that has the cards in their favour.

What's everyone's thoughts?

I'd like to treat myself this Christmas to a funny 40k long sleeve t-shirt. Sadly, I' haven't found anything that fits the bill. Hence I'd like to hear your suggestions. Anything goes, but not lewd. It could also be from podcasts or the like.

Thank you!

Ps. Must be able to be purchased in Europe.

So my girlfriend and I are doing some travelling in Ireland at the moment, and yesterday we were out on the town thrift shopping. Sadly there isn’t a huge market for secondhand men’s clothing/streetwear here. HOWEVER. In one of the shops we popped into, there were a few boxes of second edition termagaunts/khorne berzerkers/orks, with a few space marines mixed in. I managed to grab all the marines they had (which included a second edition space marine bike [fuck yeah]).

I was able to identify all the models I picked up, except this guy. He’s made out of metal, which I am super stoked about, I’ve never had my hands on a retro metal GW mini before. This ultramarine is missing a pauldron, and his bolter is glued on backwards, but I can’t wait to give him a bath and breathe some new life into this model.

My only question is, which model is this? The base is stamped circa 1992, but I haven’t been able to find out what set this is from. He has a little (wolf?) tail hanging off his belt. Is he a son of Russ? Who is this little metal fella?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

How can I tell if a bike is third edition or second edition? Does anyone know? As far as I can see the only difference is the base being square on the 2nd edition and rounded on the 3rd.

Hello everyone,

I've been painting a Son of Guilliman for a diorama and I wonder about how to paint the kind of tabard in brown like on this pic.

Any help and comment appreciated

My and my gf want to start getting into Warhammer. As much as I'm pretty sold on to Astra Militarum due to WW vibes, we had more problems picking faction for my gf.

Initially when doing research we leaned towards Necrons, because she really liked look of C'tan figures. Then we digged deeper into more "common" figures, and they were not her type. After further research we leaned into Chaos Demons and as a whole it get much better approval, because she doesn't like machine look, and they fell more like "figures" not a "soldiers"

However then I on my own made more research of Chaos Demons and it seems like it doesn't get much love from GW and I heard some rumors they might get split and merged into other factions. As much as she's more of a collector than player, she'll want to definitely try tabletop as well and I don't want to suggest her something that will be unplayable in upcoming future

Should that be a big concern for us? If yes then what else would you suggest for me to show her faction-wise?

I haven’t seen anyone talk about this so I will. Anyone who has played space marine 1 or 2 knows about Titus and his warp resistance. Is it possible he is a null or a blank? And since being a blank (like a sister of silence) is a genetic thing that humans are potentially born with. Is it possible that he is some new kind of blank? A different genetic strain or something? I’m not that well versed in the lore. So can someone please tell me if I’m onto something.

Hi all,

Can a 0 OC model like Aircraft, Drop pods, spore mines ETC Count to blocking Scoring? for example "Defend Stronghold" does it stop you from scoring full 5VP as it is an enemy unit Wholey within your deployment zone and same for display of might where you need to have more units in no mans land than your opponent as its something I ran into during a casual game and we just couldn’t figure it out, all we could find was 0 OC cannot not score secondary or primary missions, just not that if it blocked scoring due to well being 0 OC.

I would appreciate some clarification on this and possibly something I can use a reference on the app or a GW FAQ in future cases.

Got this dude as an extra throw in with a lot of minis I purchased but I have no idea who he is. Thanks for the help.

Did some kitbashing for a Bioshock themed Callidus proxy for my similarly Bioshock themed Imperial Knight house. Pretty happy with the results and was told to post it here.

Hi, wir brauchen Tipps was man einem warhammer Fan schenken kann. Wir kennen uns leider nicht aus aber wissen, dass er relativ viele Space Marines hat. Bitte wir brauchen dringend Hilfe

Got a beer hammer event coming up and 1 of the missions allows a custom character to join a knight as a 2 character unit.

I haven’t played much of 11th but in 10th with orks you could allocate melta shots to makari and everything else to ghaz, is that still the same or must you target 1 character till it dies now?

Now tell me how it is possible that a rhino holds 12 infantry while the Land Raider 14!!! The latter, if we respected the proportions, should contain at least 20 😬

Hey all. I’ve been into warhammer for around a year or so and currently have only one army (Dark Angels). Even though they can play almost any game style, I figured it was time to start another army and have trimmed the options to either DG or WE. I love the lore, primarchs, models, and play style of each and am struggling with the decision. What are y’all’s options on which to choose? Tell me your reasons for why you love (or hate) either!

I'm looking to return back to the game. I played a lot of 8th and once 9th ed dropped I gave up. Life, kids, work, the usual bullshit.

Anyway. I see 11th edition dropped a few months back. What's the state of the game like? Meta shift? Balance? GW still being greedy? Etc... just looking for a tldr without having to watch 20 YouTube videos

Its crazy to see how much ive improved in a couple of months after not painting for 2 years.

Hey all,

Was wondering if any of the folks out there who have successfully printed their own waterslide transfers have experienced problems with them being too transparent once they're off the sheet and how they've fixed it.

Tried using a couple brands of laser-printer decal paper and both times the transfers look great on the white backing, but then when they're off the backing, they practically turn invisible and really only show up if they're put onto another white surface. Even fully black decals barely show up on light surfaces.

I saw in other posts about printing decals that people use Hayes brand paper, which is what I've tried, so is it down to a print setting that can fix this? Maybe a different type of paper from the same brand that I missed?
