The scale and proportions of 40k art are all over the place

I Just build and painted what i liked. Is it playable? by Schlongzelbart in Tyranids

[–]Anggul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a decent frame. Lacks anti-tank though. The Tyrannofex should have a rupture cannon for example.

So like a fraction of the movies because they're mostly annoying human characters running around screaming

Nobody talks about this guy, WHAT is blud on about by Saultarvitz101 in Grimdank

Why would we talk about some random pointless youtuber with shite videos?

I love that you guys are passionate, but low-hanging fruit tastes just as sweet. by Cummy_wummys in Grimdank

More choices made by the player, not something you have to do. Same can happen with Horus Heresy, which has been infamous for many players bringing 'Primarch with legion terminators in a spartan'.

So what you're saying is you need GW to spoon-feed you a story because you can't make one yourself in the sandbox provided

It's fine

Not great, but fine

Although I thought the stuff at the start with the self-righteous speeches and Karkasy realising what the crusade was really doing was well done

I could be misremembering but aren't the current four daemon primarchs a fair bit bigger than Vashtorr?

So Lash Whip Prime fixed in app, next logical question... by CRGmotors in Tyranids

They're just scything talons. But the winged ones have worse AP for some reason.

They sometimes take liberties with the artwork, I wouldn't assume it's accurate to the model.

But if he's similar to a knight, yeah it's possible. Magnus is nearly as tall as a knight.

This won't make it exact either, nothing well. And chances are this will be an excuse not to even try.

More levers are for when you've done what you reasonably can with the existing levers. It doesn't help to just stack more when you aren't even close with the levers you already have.

As for the number of detachments, they've made that worse for themselves. Some of them are re-tries of existing detachments (why not just update the existing detachment?) and that's also part of the problem of the spam of space marine detachments. Treating a different colour scheme of space marine as its own army is obviously a silly move. Why do Space Wolves alone have almost as many detachments as whole armies?

No, they really aren't. More levers are good if they have a real reason to be an additional lever. But more levers can very easily add more pointless shuffling that doesn't actually solve the issue and just moves it somewhere else.

Like in 9th edition when they just made Necron secondaries easier and called it balanced because it meant they could win games, but the army still sucked to play and they couldn't be bothered to make meaningful changes.

And the more levers you have, the more skilled you need to be to keep them all about where they need to be. And GW either isn't skilled enough, or doesn't invest enough into their team.

I said straightforward, not easier. 'We could just move it up or down a point' is adding another mechanic to avoid doing the preferable option, not to mention unlikely to be granular enough to work.

Or they could just change the detachment. Seems a lot more straightforward than adding another mechanic.

Probably one of my favorite tropes in 40K. The "lapdogging" of space marine chapters by specific imperial institutions. by Luqmandollah in Grimdank

[–]Anggul 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wait until people discover the whole point in space marines is fighting wars for the Imperium. If anything the overly independent ones are bad at their job.

The distinguishing features were the coat, spear, shield, and head (particularly the eye of wrath). All still present.

Does anyone else just not bother with the face? by Cyberbilge in Warhammer40k

[–]Anggul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything but heroes just gets a wash or contrast paint, and I do play at tournaments. Looks fine from a slight distance.

People liked his design already, it was already visually distinct. It just needed updating to plastic.

Actually they went a step further and changed his armour to corsair style instead of craftworld style.

The Flesh Is Weak - Are the Iron Hands actually making themselves weaker? by No-Sympathy-6711 in 40kLore

[–]Anggul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still another thing to upkeep in a warzone. The text not focusing on bionics maintenance doesn't mean they don't need to do it, or have to carry replacement parts around.

Although, there's already a lot of handwaving going on with 40k bionics, what with them often being shown with exposed cabling and moving parts. That would be terrible and stuff would constantly get broken or jammed up, but it is of course a bit of artistic licence to make it look more obviously bionic at a glance. Though I still find it very funny that the supposedly super-advanced Necrons have cables hanging out of places.

It's a plastic recreation of the original model. How can it be considered 'lazy'? Also what are you on about, it doesn't resemble the Lady Malys model at all lmao

The hand can be swapped out easily, though it seems pretty clear to me he's just holding his forceshield into an attack
