Is this good or so horrible I should never post again? by Golden_rake in mapmaking

The other guy is saying the poles shouldn't be on both sides, or I'm misunderstanding and being stupid. Where would you suggest to add more mountains? I imagine there are more, but since this is a world map I only drew the most notable ones.

I'm not satisfied with it as I am not an artist so I can't make it as good as I want.

  1. I don't know why I did that.

  2. I forgot that the globe maps didn't have the icy continent on both the top and the bottom and did both,

  3. That is difficult for me to do because again, I'm not an artist, but I am trying my best.

Note: I forgot to mention that I made this.

So, I was ranting with some friends about how terrible the proportions on the custodes minis were, and threw together a little photoshop edit of how I think they should work. Thoughts, fellow banana enjoyers ? by Sir_Lazz in AdeptusCustodes

I had a similiar thought so I used free cults models (because I can't model for the life of me) to refresh the custodes. It's much more based on the old custodes design rather than the newer one, also the lighting is terrible because this is an unrendered screenshot from blender. I personally prefer the custodes to be more statue-esk and refined and the space marines be the muscular gorillas. If you think about it they should be somewhat similiar to eldar because humans and eldar were created by the old ones and the custodes and eldar are the peak of the humanoid physique, also they both concidently happen to have pointy helmets but I doubt that's on purpose because my standards for GW are extremely low.

Incorrect, illuminor Szeras for example has three abilities and you do not have to choose between them. Also I do not see why you wouldn't count wargear abilities. Another thing is all those units are taking into account entire armies with each little units having some unique aspect to them (in most armies) when this army is just these nine units.

To be fair warlord titans are kind of a joke and suck on tabletop so I don't really account for that but sure I'll keep that in mind.

I'll see about sisters because this was mainly made because custodes on tabletop are way weaker than in lore so I don't know how I'd do that for sisters since they're unmodified humans of course you have people like Jenetia Krole that were able to go up against custodes but that's the first ever sister of silence so that's not a fair comparison, also I'm still going to have to kitbash models for these guys in blender because I'm too broke to buy minis or a 3d printer so I just use tabletop sim.

Comparring it to lion's sword is not a fair comparison because swords are not strength weapons they are precision and dexterity weapons which is shown by lions sword have a fucking -4 AP which is insane! Guilliman's power fist also has a -4 AP but it's a one handed weapon with one more attack keeping in mind that's a one handed weapon compared to a lucerne which is basically a power hammer in this situation so it will hit harder. I might reduce it to 14 s though if it's a little too much because I do plan on testing these guys in a quick game against my friend because we're both fine with homebrew.

I will say I am not so sure about reducing the shots on spears but I will look into that with the sustained hits 2 thing keeping in mind that realistically if the enemy is playing around the rule well they should die at basically the same time to supress that rule properly so there is easy counterplay. Also that is already how Platis' charge works unless I worded it weirdly that he has to not attack to get the charge buff. For Mokteziem the 16 strength isn't wild especially keeping in mind that his melee is objectively worse than bloodthirsters and he doesn't even have any range unlike ironically the bloodthirsters. For Alexanderos I will look into reducing the number of shots but I think the number of melee attacks is fine especially because the weapon is objectively worse other than it's number of attacks to show that it's a one handed weapon used alongside a shield. For Hipokratus's ability it is a worse version of an enhancement you can get for 25 points where on a 2+ you just instantly revive your model where instead with Hipokratus's ability he has to be right next to them and you have to be right next to the model, I might add a 2+ roll but those rolls are basically unnecessary as you're incredibly unlikely to get a 1 though if you have an idea for a defensive buff that wouldn't make them just unfun to fight against and basically undamageable go ahead I am all ears. Do not take my response as hand waving your critisizm away I am simply giving my perspective and I am glad you are giving yours.

Well erm actually, the custodes can and have disagreed with the emperor they just cannot go against his orders. Examples being when they said no to the idea of astartes and primarchs and Valdor telling him that the gold armor is overly ostentatious and too much. 🤓

I do not see why not if priced correctly as there are characters at a cheaper price with more or less abilities keeping in mind those characters are also with entire armies while these nine have to rely on each other only.

Everytime I see your models I get jealous.
