Hail Cain, Hero of the Imperium!

Hail Cain, Hero of the Imperium!

Mood kindred!



Ultra comforting.

Hail Cain, Hero of the Imperium!

Ci! Ci! Ciaphas Cain! Hero of the Imperium! Ci! Ci! Ciaphas Cain! Hero of the Imperium!

[Baltenstein]

I've always thought Ciaphas was pronounced Syaphas, not Kiaphas.

The clip is another example of why I don't like TTS that much. They frequently draw out the punchlines to their gags way too long, to the point where it stops being funny and starts getting annoying/creepy.

Same here.

I've been considering trying out one of the Dawn of War games, both cuz I love RTS games and because I wanna make friends between the Eldar and the humans

Which one should I get? I saw Bokoen1 playing one of them, but I dunno which it is. Looks hype though.

That's Soulstorm, the shit expansion to the original Dawn of War.

That does indeed look like Soulstorm to me, as the above said.

In my opinion:
- The original has the best story before Dawn of War 2, but only 4 factions and only one of them playable in the campaign.
- I have not played Winter Assault but I have heard it is amusing.
- Dark Crusade has the best multi-faction campaign of the original set, with 7 playable races.
- Soulstorm went a bit iffy with the addition of aircraft, but still has a solid multi-faction campaign with 9 playable races.
- Dawn of War 2 and Chaos Rising share a story with only one playable faction, but it is a pretty good one. The visuals are also vastly improved, but it comes at the cost of only 4 (5 in Chaos Rising) factions and much smaller scale gameplay (very much a skirmish game rather than an army one).
- Retribution has the best multi-faction story with 6 playable factions, and though the missions are basically the same across them, the dialogue is a treasure.
- The Last Stand is a minigame more fun than the multiplayer side of the base game.
- Dawn of War 3 does not exist, for that garbage should never be allowed to keep the Dawn of War name.

Don't listen this Aeldari scum. Soulstorm may be the least impressive expansion BUT IT HAS ULTIMATE APOCALYPSE THE DEFINITIVE DAWN OF WAR EXPERIENCE

Also you can zoom out further than Max Zoom in a classic RTS game.

Played my first game of 9nth Edi today, with a 500 points Lambdan Lions Scions against White Scars. I got the first turn and had plasma-blasted my opponent off the table by the end of turn 2. Not a great first impression, to be honest.

That is one way to make games quicker.

Anyone be up for a Necromunda RP?

Single characters with a plot that may or may not be ripped from Dead Money.

Can't not love Necromunda - I'd definitely be up for it!

I'm down.

Speaking of Necromunda

Hope its a decent game.

Been thinking of a potential necron colour scheme whilst i was in isolation.

Black armour, silver joints and red eyes/gun glow, with a winter themed based, so a mix of whites and blues.

Probably do what i did for my Valhallan Icewarriors and do Stirland mud, and then drybrush celestra grey and white scar on top and use Drakenhoff Nightshade and Agrax Earthshade for some parts.

Now to think about how im gona do the armour. Was thinking prime them black, do a drybrush of necron compound over the whole miniature, paint what areas i want to be black then do another drybrush over them with a grey of some kind, then shade them. And i guess maybe use carrobourg crimson for the guns and eyes and any other glowy bits.

That could work. Necrons really are a joy to do simple schemes with, possibly the most fun I have had painting was when I repainted 3,000 points of Necrons into my friend's scheme to give them to him as a gift. Spray Mephiston Red, base the metal bits Leadbelcher, wash Carroburg Crimson, heavy drybrush Astorath Red, drybrush Ryza Rust, drybrush the metal Necron Compound, base the rods and power sources Macragge Blue, drybrush them and the areas around them Chronus Blue. It only took a couple of days. The Monolith in particular looked gorgeous, I think precisely because it was being repainted from a shoddy work - it had a lot of small defect areas across its surface that gave it a wonderful texture in the drybrush.

Yeah i wanted to do a very worn simple colour scheme for them, nothing too fancy.

I loved pretty much everything AoS they showed, but this one is definitely the best out of the lot. I love her so much!

Easily one of my favourite models, it looks stunning.

Ive been thinking of getting into Daughters of Khaine for AOS to play with a mate of mine, i hope she comes on her own at some point. If not i might order the box, not hugely into slannesh demons for the other half but i can still paint em up as a challenge.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

Daughters of Khaine are a fun army in general, this one's definitely going to convince me to get more snakes, haha.
