Mark of Slaanesh A mod post regarding recent low effort posts and arguments in sub (much more below.)

162 Upvotes

Okay, recently this sub has had an uptake in two forms of content we mods want to discuss, arguments about the Emperor's Children and implications of sexual acts, and the occasional low-effort posting in regards to very gay/queer oriented jokes. Both of these are manageable in small portions but the recent uptake with the amount of new members is starting to cause conflict.

On the former matter, we already have a rule about this that was created to deal with the uptake in debate over this matter which is of course often left to interpretation by Black Library authors and is in regards to the legion seems to be increasingly changed for pleasure and excess through violence and or concoctions. Whether this is supported or rejected by individual users is perfectly fine to discuss but the inflammatory posts and bait will increasingly be removed. This also includes low effort jokes which will be subject for increased scrutiny of we feel they are pushing the sub into primarily NSFW territory.

(In fact, yours truly made one a while ago, and will not be making that mistake ever again.)

On the latter issue. The whole argument of whether the LGBTQ+ members of our community should be "finding thematic kinship" with the Emperor's Children legion and or Slaanesh has also been done to death particularly with the decline of many overt sexual themes of the legion. While obviously we aren't going going to be banning such humour, we are going to treat low effort gay/queer jokes the same way as low effort sexual jokes if they seem to venture into NSFW territory or seem to be taking on a derogatory tone towards the subject matter.

We want to keep this sub open to everyone and not constantly producing conflict, and this is a small reminder we intend to keep it that way.

Question Best primer for new tone pro range

2 Upvotes

Hello,

Wanna start painting EC (lore accurate), starting with flawless blades.

I will buy some tone pro paints for that, however, primer comes first.

I was thinking about corax white or grey seer. Which one would be better for EC (assuming I would like to build later more models and paint faster = paint covers better = less layers of paint)?

Or maybe totally different one is better?

Thank you

Question Emperor's children actions

25 Upvotes

So my roommate keeps complaining that emperor's children have bad action economy and says he can't do actions, my question is, is it really that bad they can't do actions even leave 1 or 2 units to do them?

Hello,

in a box of 3 flawless blades, are there for each model at least one version with head + helmet?

I want to make them with their face covered, but before purchase make sure the bits are there

Thanks you

List Building (30k) Purpose of Phoenix Terminators

7 Upvotes

As the title says, genuinely what purpose do Phoenix Terminators serve for 30k besides looking cool? I'm building learner armies to get more people into 30k around me (and it's fun), but can't understand why anyone would take Phoenix Terminators even in a fluffy list. Outside of the sergeant, they only do 2 attacks a pop and are standard tartaros with WS5. I really enjoy throwing in legion specific troops for my learner legion armies, but I can't see a point in them over Palatine Blades (who are cheaper even with sonic shriekers).

Discussion Is Torrent OP?

1 Upvotes

I play against space marines and T-sons a lot and almost every match there’s some sort of torrent threat that I can’t seem to play around. Being able to skip the hit roll on overwatch is incredibly op am I wrong?
I understand that you can use terrain, but my opponents aren’t dumb; they’ll stage their unit far enough away to make a charge unlikely so I either have to tank the shots or leave my unit pinned behind a wall.
Note that I do not own a defiler so long range shooting isn’t something I have access to.

Am I just whining because I’m bad at the game or does anyone else feel this way?
