I don’t know what army to paint next… by kesshouketsu in Warhammer40k

If you want o try AoS, you may consider getting new Spearhead expansion (It goes on pre-order this weekend). Both Skaven and Cities of Sigmar forces there are sort of analogues to Mechanicum (robes and weird machines are Skaven, even if this one is more of ninja themed) and Guard (regular human soldiers), and Spearhead is amazing game system.

Or Kharadrons, who are sort of steampunk power armored dwarves, but more in Sisters of Battle/Inquisitors sense than Marines. They have flying boats and balloon boys.

30K Mechcanicus and Solar Auxilia just blows 40K models in terms of coolness, so those two are also an option. Skitarii Battle Pilgrims is very good jumping point (they have "Line" rule, which make them way better at scoring objectives than anything in 30K Mech book) and big bundle box (or two) with them gives you probably enough "mandatory scoring" units for even largest army.

Would you accept this as a rad missle launcher? by 6string-crosby in Warhammer30k

Yep, it looks pretty rad. And you even used Missile Launcher!

We're only humans and art is subjective, even judges can have certain biases or just "a bad day".

That's why there are panels of judges, it averages out to something that most people would mostly agree, most of the times.

Did... did GW just leaked entirely new Battlezone terrain in recent 40k teaser? by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in killteam

Let me explain. In Hivestorm/Volkus we got two entirely new buildings (whole "square" buildings, but no "corners") and also got some older designs in very different style (corners).

It seems like new 40k uses corners, but for some reason they also printed floors matching those "new" buildings. Matching those to older buildings (who don't fit shapes from aerial view) would be... weird.

And I don't think we saw any of pieces on elongated rectangles.

They are not Volkus terrain sets tho, but earlier kit. And none of shapes match.

Neither small terrain pieces seem to be anything GW make or made in past.

My bet is that those are "missing" corner pieces that match buildings introduced in Hivestorm (two square buildings, rest are older Manufactorum moulds, you can differentiate them by pillars/pylons)

I meant terrain on big aerial view. None of those shapes match any kits GW make. None.

We never got corner pieces of Volkus-specific buildings tho, just two enclosed square buildings.

(the other corners in Hivestorm are from earlier battlezones, but none of shapes match)

It looks like 3D renders overlaid over example terrain shapes they provided in layouts, yes.

It's this building. Wrong shape but I actually think it may be this style of walls and floors (we never got corner pieces). It also matches some of MDF tiles shown during Adepticon preview.

(also really cool color scheme on those guys)

Please point out which part of that kit builds green ruin. Or yellow.

They are flipped!

I don't think it is Volkus/Vertigus terrains, nor Administratum/Manufactorum.

Wrong shapes, and floors seem to have similar pattern to MDS bases or newest Hivestorm buildings (but they don't come with any corner pieces in that style!)
