This. There are so many great regiments out there with their own looks, it's such a shame.
Plastic Elysians, let's go!

Fucking hell GW, give me an army of these and I will happily buy myself into poverty.
Honest to god, legitimately well designed female games workshop miniature. Not sure how to cope with something like this!

Seems it'll be exclusive to GW stores opening/reopening after renovations. At least for the time being.
Would love some new guard kits, as long as they remain small. Though I think Necrons and Orks need new kits more than Guard.
They likely won't be Cadian but I have no doubt they'll still be wearing Cadian style flak armor.

Some new Dark Angel models for Horus Heresy.

The only Tau blades I can think of are the Dawn Blade (Farsight's sword) which isn't a Tau weapon, and the bonding knives you get with Fire Warriors (and Pathfinders?). They're just sheathed ceremonial daggers.
There's also the Etherals' honor blades but those are less swords and more polearms.
Bonding knife is probably your best bet for stylistic inspiration.

Any Tau players here have an extra Commander they're looking to part ways with by chance? I bought the new Shadowsun, then quickly realized that I'm not going to use her in my list. I figured I would check if anyone has a Commander they'd trade for her...needing to build myself another Coldstar.
Aww I thought there was going to be the New Ghazghkull and Ragnar models.
Anyhow, out of interest has anyone picked up any of the Blackstone Fortress expansions? Im getting a lot out of the main game with my friends, and wondered what the general thoughts were.
Quite keen on the Ambull for the old Rogue Trader feels. Not too sure about the rest though. Love the models for Escalation, not sure how that will work as it seems to be a new set of Characters. (Im not sure my friends will be interested in changing for a fresh character)

Absolutely adore the models, they're my two favourite characters from my two favourite factions. It's like an expensive Christmas for me.
Yeah that got a chuckle out of me - Ragnar with a missing arm and broken neck, presumed dead and Ghaz literally decapitated, and both of them are straight back to it, looking for round 2.

I'm planning on hitting up my local store on release day, getting them both built then and there. So, yep, pretty excited lol
There was some reveals at the Gama expo but most importantly some teasing of a new Fabius Bile!

Codex Emperors Children here we go?
(Probably not, but one can hope)
I gotta admit, I've been thinking "Wow, Gareth is slipping." lately, haha!
And yeah, there's been a ton of good stuff, The House of Blades and the witch elves Underworlds in particular. I think I'll be getting that warband!
Edit : I wish GW was following the same process with Kill Team, releasing teams with special models.
I think that's the first actual representation of the geneseed organ I've seen. Neck testicles. Neckticles.
I just got off the waitlist for Adepticon for the Long War Doubles. I didn't expect to make it, but I bet a ton of people are canceling because of coronavirus fears. Think I'll skip too
Kroot!
Like a lot of people upon seeing this reveal I immediately want to run her as an Inquisitor; but I have no idea how to run the doggo as anything.
Love them both!

All the new Escher announcements for Necromunda look great too. I am so happy to see that game getting continuous updates and love.

They're not the same thing but VictoriaMiniatures have been great in supplementing my Guard armies with female models.

Hey everyone,
So a friend of mine is starting to get into Warhammer 40k. He got himself some minatures and had a ton of fun putting them together, and honestly, that does sound fun! He's got a squad of five guys that came in a pack, so I'm thinking of doing the same and then we can like battle or whatever. I honestly don't know the rules or anything.
The problem is, the Warhammer site that sells this stuff is awful, and I'm having a bitch of a time searching for grouped figures in a specific price range (under $50 would be nice). I don't even know what I want exactly, since I"m just going with "rule of cool." Never painted anything like this before, but I got a neighbor who has, so I can get advice from him. Probably borrow some of his better brushes too.
Guys got any recommendations? The rats are kind of neat. Typically looking more for horror-style stuff, or just really strange shit. Otherwise, if there are better sites to shop/buy/search, I'd just take those too. I skimmed the OP but man, that's a lot of info there :P

Maybe the "First Strike" starter set?
Intended for people new to the game; $40 and you get 15 dudes (Ultramarine Space Marines vs Death Guard Chaos Marines); the Death Guard is definitely "horror/weird"
you mentioned rats; I imagine you mean the Skaven? They are part of Age of Sigmar (the fantasy game) and aren't usable in 40K (the sci-fi game).
Age of Sigmar has a starter set as well; has 15 minis for $40. Stormcast Eternals (uhh magic knights) vs Nighthaunt (undead ghosts)

Oh that second set is pretty cool! Man these guys do good monster designs.
I'm a fan of this set https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Wracks-2014 and the rest of the army is pretty spiffy based on what I've seen. Wish these weren't so expensive, but still well within my allotted budget. Probably sleep on it just to make sure though :P
A little outside your price range, but the "Start Collecting" sets typically go for $90-$100 but usually net you about a 30% discount over buying stuff separately. Also most are set up with a basic troop + a leader, which are things you will need if you start collecting an army for real
Makes sense. I guess I mostly want an excuse to paint something and hang out with my friend :P which to be fair, we can do without an excuse. But I got my tax return and this seems fun.
I like the tyranids or whatever they're called, but I wish they didn't look so copy/pasted in bulk :( Fun monsters, but they just don't have much personality to them.
Conkersbadfurday I suggest you and your friend take a look at Warhammer 40k Kill Team. It's skirmish scale (one or two boxes of minis usually enough for a full roster) ruleset and it's awesome.
Is there an army out there that can ignore negs to hit? That has to be the most unfun mechanic to play against.
Orks can kind of get around it in that a natural 6+ always hits and also generates another attack. Considering they're usually only hitting on 5+, being reduced to 6+ with negative modifiers isn't all that much of a big deal, and most of their weapons are tuned towards sheer number of shots getting the hits you need anyway.
There's also a stratagem you can use so that the same as above applies to 5+ (5s and 6s always hit and both generate an extra hit roll). I've seen more than a few instances of tankbustas and the likes scoring more hits than they can even fire using that rule/stratagem combo.
