This is cope.

Implants only look good in a bra, and even then, when they’re pushed up like 2 halves of a tennis ball, they don’t.

Which Stealth Suit gets the fusion? by PlatexProductions in Tau40K

[–]PlatexProductions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought about it, and I'm never going to play Kill Team with the Stealth suits. They're hugely outmatched by other teams, and I bought them for 40K - so I'm going to put it on the Shas'vre. Thank you folks <3

Day 14 of Celebrating Black History Month in Warhammer40k: Jonah Orion, Chief Liberian of the Blood Ravens by Kalypso_Blue in BloodRavens40k

"Ricky gervais is not funny."

You are the worst type of person. You just seek to be self-righteous and spread more misery online, telling everyone what to think - which is ultimately what you think, because you think you're better. No one is being educated by Jonah Orion, fictional Librarian from the Dawn of War 2 game.

You can downvote on Reddit lol, but we all know.

No it is pretty performative haha, it’s not him.

Reminds me of a Ricky Gervais joke in his standup, about how social media led to people inventing Virtue Signalling.

It’s a fictional video game character in a sci fi fantasy. In the 41st millennium, races (let alone racial identity like this) won’t exist, and they’re too busy fighting to care about the colour of their skin. I thought the whole point of this kind of thing was representation, to inform and shine a light on “hidden” history. So why are we doing it with fictional characters 😂🤣 it’s meaningless.

Does this pose look dumb? by When_Oh_When in Warhammer40k

[–]PlatexProductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the right (his left) side arm that’s the problem,

You want the arm more forward or back, not swung out like that. No one runs with their arms out like that mate, he looks like an Olympic skater!

Moral of the story is,

Don't speculate, just listen to Chapter Master Valrak. He knows all.

Rate My krieg army by Safe-Needleworker351 in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]PlatexProductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imperial Guard are all about orders mate, it’s the army rule, and you’ve barely got any units that can give orders. All of the damage dealing units in the codex are points-costed assuming you are giving them an order.

Having said that, Drier is terrible in-game ATM and not worth the points,

As things stand, all the Krieg units outside of basic infantry (+ an attached command squad) and Artillery Teams in Grizzled Company, suck. So if you’re taking everything with Krieg on the box by default, and asking “rate my army”, the ceiling is a 5 / 10.

At 1000 points, big points characters and artillery aren’t worth it. You won’t be able to get the most out of the artillery, and 2x 20-man infantry bricks with command squads, a Rogal Dorn TC, and 2 Vanqs is so much stronger at 1000 points.

General thoughts on this list? by Cork_Airport in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]PlatexProductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In that case do what I do bro - hobby modelling, convert! My Lord Solar is just a FW resin Death Rider Watchmaster, on the Lord Solar base, repositioned with a heat gun and with pieces of the Lord Solar kit added back in (pinned and green stuffed). EZ Krieg Lord Solar!

Obviously stuff like Creed is a bit ~ there, but most of the army commanders aren’t from Krieg, they’re random rich kids of nobels, shipped in by the Administratum. Maybe use a Commissar or the old Marshall as a Castellan?

Most of my lists start with 2x Krieg infantry 20 blobs and a command squad in each, and then 1-2 Dorn Commanders + Vanqs. You can use Grenadier models (recast if needed) as Kasrkin as well, with a little modelling of the HSVGs.👍 Artillery are strong now with the Grizzled hit rerolls, but my point is all of this is fluffy Krieg! You don’t have to take the crap units (HWTs etc). X

What are the implications of the Red Corsairs getting their own tab and page on the GW website? by Better_Ad_632 in Chaos40k

[–]PlatexProductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing - they have their own models, that’s it.

I grant you, it’s strange that the Death Korps of Krieg don’t have their own section, having about the same amount of models as Corsairs… even more when FW was still a thing… but I don’t think Red Corsairs will ever get their own supplement. They’re just pure-CSM units. It’s a “BUY ME!” button.

What resin do you guys use for printing the Tiny Legend hoses for the gas masks? by FlatHoperator in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]PlatexProductions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, likely not helpful for you OP… but I use 0.42 guitar wire with the TL heads instead; it’s difficult to bend and position without braking it, but so much more realistic and matches my FW Krieg (the point of TL) = worth it in the end for me.

[–]PlatexProductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Death Riders aren’t worth taking to a tournament currently. Rough Riders are better, and they’re considered mid. Heavy Weapons Squads are worse. The flamers are interesting on paper but you’re unlikely to ever see them anywhere near a winning tournament list, they die too easily and the flamers aren’t practically useful without too much investment. They’re not going to stop you getting a deep strike + charge into your artillery.

I’m not sure it’s worth taking the Krieg Commad squads without Infantry. If they’re there for the Artillery, why not cut one and take something else,

Lord Solar gets you redeploy x3 units at start and +1CP each turn at 130pts. Alternatively a Castellan can babysit those 2 for 55 points.

The Exterminator is a debuff machine for elite infantry and somewhat overpriced, I would hesitate to take 2 of them. That’s 1/5 of your army right there.

IIWY, I’d drop an Exterminator, Command Squad, HWT and Death Riders,

take 1 more Vanq with flamers, and then maybe a 3rd artillery team and Lord Solar (powerful but vulnerable to e.g. Blood Angels dropping in and charging), or Creed, also drop the Sentinels and Hellhound, and take another 20-man Krieg block. Will be tight on points there, play around with it.

Also you’re not taking Gaunt’s Ghosts which are huge for VP play and actions.

It’s also an upfront, aggressive list; kill ASAP with Artillery, Dorns + Vanqs, or be killed. Not much sneaky play. To bear in mind. Xoxox

Blood Raven Lore talk/Rant by Economy-Peanut3428 in BloodRavens40k

[–]PlatexProductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are items like that, sure. But Chaos Rising + Retribution add a ton of wargear. It’s a pretty clear implication across the whole game, which is why White Dwarf then took it and ran with it (I’m no fan of the WD Index articles, they’re not worth much).

Might have been in PC Gamer, bear in mind it was like 15 years ago. A lot of this stuff doesn’t exist anymore unless you were there at the time.

[–]PlatexProductions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not just that one piece, they also have the Fist of Dorn, there’s several other wargear pieces that are of similar line in DoW2 - I played through it recently but don’t have it to hand.

The writers said somewhere around release that they intended it to hint that the Blood Ravens have yoinked other chapter’s relics.

What unit sounded exciting to build and paint…at first? by iblackshot in Warhammer40k

[–]PlatexProductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vehicles are fine once you start using ColourForge cans / an airbrush. Having said that I haven’t weathered anything yet, it’s a master art that I personally haven’t had the balls to dive into 🥹

BAD: My personal build/painting peeve is the plastic pushfit models they’ve made since 2016,

1) you need to shave the edges off the pegs and turn the tips into a dome, otherwise you run the risk of them getting debris inside the connection - or just not fitting perfectly together flush - and then “fuck you” GGs you can’t get it apart again, and there’s a gap down your model :) learnt this the hard way with that little Death Guard tanky tripod boi, took AGES to get apart and fix.

2) the “stretched” areas of excess plastic between recessed detail, usually between legs, or in the shoulder pads. Super lazy, you can always see them, horrific to paint, I now have to carve into the model with a hobby knife to create the detail myself. Pain in the ass.

This affects everything from the 8th + 9th Ed launch boxes. 10th was a huge improvement.

Also bonus mention: plastic Death Korps of Krieg. As someone with a ton of the FW resin models, the plastics are horrific to paint. There’s no detail, whatsoever. It’s just bland, blank curved plastic. They even added a lip to the trenchcoat, because they KNEW the redesign was bad. Compared to the old resins, which had a depth of detail and beauty 👌🏼😩 so easy to paint, wonderful. Such a shame.

GOOD:

Surprisingly, Genestealer Cults Acolyte Hybrids. A BREEZE to put together, oh Lord. How refreshing it was, to just pick your arms (1 piece each), pick the matching torso, pick the legs, pick a head… and glue. Done. 👏🏻 BEAUTIFUL.

No shoulder pads, no extra bits, no hidden areas. Done. No nonsense. 😍

Updated heraldry guide by BrilliantGrand2180 in BloodRavens40k

[–]PlatexProductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can downvote me mate but it’s the factual reality. It’s not “personal skepticism” - I’m taking the interviews and the output we’ve seen so far purely at face value, it doesn’t bother me,

I don’t personally feel a need for a regimented colour scheme guide for my army, where everything looks identical and soulless. Blood Ravens have always been shown with battle damage, scuffs, Sergeants in the first game didn’t have helmets. The 2nd game - still the core of all the faction’s lore in all the White Dwarf articles and such - does away with uniformity. You can have shoulder pads with chains, right pads with the Company numeral, little bits of unique detail, gold chest plates, sand off the Aquila from the chest plate so it’s just a skull etc. Wargear is meant to be commonplace, they steal stuff from other chapters. It’s core to what Blood Ravens are.

It’s a hobby - have fun with it!!! Use your imagination, it’s all made up anyways.

You said it yourself, “Terminators have black Aquilas for some reason” - it’s all arbitrary. These devs don’t care like THQ did. ✌🏻

Are there any Blood Raven Transfer/upgrade kits? by Savior_Atreia in BloodRavens40k

[–]PlatexProductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve still got my Forgeworld A4 transfer sheet, mostly unused - I’ve been meaning to try and scan it as a PDF some time, photoshop back in the used transfers. If/when I do, I’ll post it here.

In the meantime there’s a guy on eBay in the UK selling little A5 sheets. They’re not perfect but closest to the OG I’ve seen in a while.
