Warhammer 40k General /40kg/

Reminder that Nids suck so much that their big bad monster can't scare a one-armed guardsman.

>real men let their emotions overtake them and let themselves be enslaved by malicious warp entities
Fixed that for you

I fucking loved the stomping in that animation. But god damn I hated the edgy protag in the short who kept going on about "LMAO, I DONT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IVE EXECUTED PEEPS XDDDXD LMAO NUTHIN PERSONAL HERETIK >:3" *Unzips the Emperor's Peace*

They are my second favorite army after my Templars

God damn I wish we could get legit terrifying shit like the background in your image for the Night Lords.

Uhhhh that doesn't look like the Emperor's Children

Thanks, I just remember that a few months ago there was something about taking lots of drop pods being the cheesiest thing ever because of an FAQ clarification, but I don't recall what that was.

No because they suck at literally everything.

I've often wondered if I like the eight so much because the night lords omnibus was the first warhammer novel I read.

That was 7th.

I have never experienced drop pod spam, but I probably wouldn't care if I did - it's a thematic thing that Space Marines do all the time.

>Not basking in the glory of Smuglord

You used to have to open them up, you might now still have to, but either way dont glue them.

Nigga, why would you do it? Just control yourself and stop worshipping beings

>tfw personality like dorn and guilliman combined

autism is suffering honestly

That's why they're great. Faction wanking is cancer.

Alpha >Word Bearers > Iron Warriors > World Eaters > Emperor's Children > Night Lords > Death Guard > Red Corsairs (they're legion-sized by this point) > TSons > Black Legion

>Tfw Iron Warriors are literally not fucking allowed to win against the Fists
>Tfw the obvious bias in all conflicts is beyond sickening

>tfw personality like Perturabo
It hurts.
I got angry all the time for little things.

Have grit, Iron Warrior

Well, they BTFO the fists in the Iron Cage.

it's okay, friend. have you tried talking about it?

No

I'm thinking about starting an army, but I have a couple questions.
I like the Space Marine tanks and robots, is there a specific chapter that will let me field the most amount of tanks and robots?
Secondly, what's the deal with Primaris Space Marines? Are they just another kind of Space Marine I can mix in with regular Space Marines, or are they their own thing?

How's this for a 2000pt Night Lords list? Mainly going against Blood Angels but probably against some Tau, Tyranids, and Orks as well later:

How fitting that's OP's picture. I'm a black templars player just returning to the game after a few years. Apparently I'm in the space marine codex now, but I bought the latest rulebook and new codex today. Any advice for someone who hasn't played this thing since high school?

Also apparently half the galaxy is gone. I'm amazed to actually see things moving forward.

Iron hands and Primaris are just tougher marines with springs in their legs.

This edition favors hordes and weight of fire so crusader squads, crusader squads, crusader squads. Just pretend you're playing orks

Don't forget about how they also job to Death Guard and Tyranids.

Black tide instead of green tide? Sounds like Europe.

How are dreadnoughts these days? It's the one model I always regretted not getting.

What's y'alls favorite legion rankings? In terms of fluff/gameplay/aesthetic/unknowable obscure criteria of your choice. For me it goes:

>S-tier
Salamanders (Bros)
Imperial Fists (No fucks given)
Alpha Legion (Pragmatic, self-serving, sneaky bastards)
Night Lords (Cowards, Thieves, Liars, and Sadists)

>A-tier
White Scars (Cool fluff completely underrepresented)
Thousand Sons (Magnus did nothing wrong)
Raven Guard (Slightly less self-honest stealthy psychopath)
Blood Angels (Sanguinius T_T7)

>B-tier
World Eaters (Tragic retards)
Death Guard (Less tragic retards)
Emperor's Children (Mostly because they're so fabulous)
Sons of Horus (If abandon wasn't such a perpetual disappointment/uninteresting character they'd rank higher)

>C-tier
Dark Angels (I'm so mysterious only works for so long before it gets irritating plus robes over power armor looks dumb)
Iron Warriors (Autism legion aka Veeky Forums)
Iron Hands (So boring I forget they exist half the time)
Ultramarines (Vanilla, but not in a good way)

>D-tier
Space Wolves (Hypocritical furry idiots)
Word Bearers (Fuck Erebus)

More like USA

I've always kind of loathed them, have only ever bought two. One for my BT to be dakka Tancred and then a NL contemptor because I think that may be my favorite model of all time. Contemptors and Leviathans are GOAT

this is godawful.

>Night Lords
>Against Tyranids & Orks
You realize your spoopy will have no effect and they will almost certainly massacre you, right?

I agree with everything you just said

You're in for a treat. All transports are assault transports now. You can, as always, ignore everything you read here. The game is much smoother now, and you'll have fun if you play with decent people.

Nigga, the alpha legion has a manlet as primarch.

>Iron hands
aww man. Are there any cool chapters that use lots of tanks and robots?

Yeah, I hope that gets sorted if the movie ever gets released.

>Tfw the protagonist of a greatly animated 40k movie is literally going to be babby revolver ocelot.

I mean, there are worse things, sure, but it is rather unfortunate.

Yup legion trait is ass but their colors and mantra are dope so fuuuuuuck it.

>babby revolver ocelot.
Revolver Ocelot was at least skilled though when he was young as we saw. This guy smashes an old guy's vase for extra edge by invoking the "Cat and Mouse" trope, and it's his lackies that actually get the guy caught and cornered. All he did was come in at the end acting cool and just shot the guy.

The new rules do look a lot quicker. I'm planning on heading to a game store this weekend.

I'd be happy with one, even if I don't field it. Also GOAT? Not a phrase I remember.

And another general question, what's the BT view on primaris marines? I could see them going either way.

Your list is poorly constructed for even moderately optimized melee combat and combi-bolter Chosen are your only significant ranged. Where's the anti-tank? You're going to get crushed by any halfway decent list of any of the factions you named.

At least when the broken remnants of your army flee with tails between their legs it will be fluffy.

True. At the very least, I really do hope at some point they get the money to hire better VA's for the english version. Hell, I just hope that this get's a successful enough release that it actually gets GW to finally start considering licensing movies with 40k.(Although that may also be a problem with no publishers or studios being interested in doing one as well.)

Almost winning is losing user.

Iron Hands are cool tho.

>Where's the anti-tank?

Gee if only there were some meltas in there.... But these models are all I have. Care to make some recommendations, hotshot?

Well the Iron Warriors didn't get wiped out by Orks so...

So how obnoxious would it be to run a few plague crawlers and bloat drones as a pack with plaguespitters? It would effectively be 6d6 or 8d6 S7 heavy flamers with a reroll all wounds warlord trait on a winged demon prince nearby. The group could effectively move 10-15" a turn and shoot 9"

>robots
Closest thing you'll get to robots in a marine are Dreadnoughts or Servitors.
Blood angels have a good few specialised Dreadnought variants.

>what's the deal with Primaris Space Marines?
They're space marines v2. An improvement on the originals.
They have their own units apart from standard tactical marines, but they can share detachments.

Personally, I just pretend they don't exist. Trash on the tabletop and a mistake in the narrative

>Also GOAT? Not a phrase I remember.

Gangsta Of All Time

What do you do if you play against Primaris Marines?

>I see no enemy units on the table. I WIN!

Is there a PDF for chapter approved yet?

laugh at these oddly large marines as I swamp them in black armored rage monkeys

I did, my 2k AdMech War Convo got tabled top of turn 3 to Wolf drop pod spam. Including my fortifications

>5 star
Dark Angels
World Eaters
Blood Angels
Imperial Fists
>4 star
Space Wolves
Emperor's Children
White Scars
Night Lords
Sons of Horus
>3 stars
Salamanders
Ultramarines
Word Bearers
Raven Guard
Iron Warriors
Iron Hands
>2 stars
Thousand Sons
Alpha Legion
>1 star
Death Guard

Ok, so I was reading the DG codex and came across this stratagem. Now I want to spawn a fuckton of zombies, but have some questions.

Can the poxwalker units go above their starting/maximum size with this?

Do I actually have to buy all the extra poxwalker models or can I proxy them somehow? Anyone have any ideas what to proxy with?

Is it allowed to do stupid things like spawn new models in unit coherency but leading outwards and tie up enemy units?

>GOAT?
GOATest of all time

So we can all agree that snakebites are the best klan, right? I mean, the other klans can't even raise their own squiggoths.

S - tier
Imperial Fists
Night Lords
World Eaters
White Scars

These are my favorites and I don't really have any strong negative feelings about the other legions, can find something I like about all of them.

AoS Nurgle in January.

pic above is this.

they aren't. They're aren't even the coolest first founding chapter with black armor

Khorne Daemonkin Or just the Bloodtithe table when?

>MORE nurgle for aos
yaaaaaaay...

Since it's Daemons it's gonna be a dual release. Expect to get rules for the Glottkin in 40K as well, since they said that was something they wished to do, and he was off in the background of one of the Death Guard promotional images

Deathskullz are the best

>Can the poxwalker units go above their starting/maximum size with this?
RAI yes, because it can include the dead from other units. Yours or your opponents.

>Do I actually have to buy all the extra poxwalker models or can I proxy them somehow?
Poxwalkers are all over the place. Try ebay for cheap deals or facebook trading pages.

>Is it allowed to do stupid things like spawn new models in unit coherency but leading outwards and tie up enemy units?
Can't be within 1" of an enemy unit outside the fight phase, unless you're already in combat with it.

Doesn't this require reinforcement points though?

It's likely gonna be the last Nurgle release for either system for a while, since there's a decent likelihood they're gonna release a "Daemons of Nurgle" book for both systems at the same time.

>Doesn't this require reinforcement points though?
I thought you only needed reinforcement points for new units, not adding models to a unit. Like tyranids don't pay reinforcement points to bolster gaunt units.

Here's mine after reading all the HH books AND all the new lore:

>S-tier
Sons of Horus
Alpha Legion
Raven Guard

>A-tier
Word Bearers
Iron Warriors
Thousand Sons

>B-tier
Iron Hands
World Eaters
Death Guard
Night Lords
Ultramarines

>C-tier
White Scars
Imperial Fists
Blood Angels
Salamanders

>D-tier
Emperor's Children
Space Wolves
Dark Angels

>ANOTHER Chaos release
Where are all the fucking models they tease in Rumor Engines?

LEL YOUZ BAKWATA GITZ DONT EVEN 'AV ANYFING WERF 'AVIN. WHERES YA TEEF? YA DAKKA AND BOOMZ? YA SHINY GOLDZ?

DIS GIT IZ GUNNA BE FOOD FER DAT SQUIGGY.

I'm fairly sure that it does not require reinforcement points to refill the units, but going above the limit I'm not 100% on.

Laspred. Havocs. Combi Plasma Termies with MoS.

>you only needed reinforcement points for new units
Ah, you're right.

I watched my buddy pull this shit a couple of days ago with 3 mobs of 20 pox walkers, all in close proximity. When one mob started dying, it got added to another.
He had Typhus and some named character too that re-rolled 1s on DR rolls too.

SAYZ DE TEEF DISPENSIN' GIT. OPEN UP AN' PAY YER RENT. I SAYZ YA OWE ME.

>going above the limit I'm not 100% on
You may be right, I interpret things from a fluff perspective rather than a RAW one.

Fuck yes! That sounds exactly what I want to do. A goddamn plague zombie apocalypse!

Fact: Admech are a under rated army.

How’s this look for a pure Primaris force? Just bought Dark Imperium

reece says there is some interesting new fluff in the DA dex
along with some hints as to what is to come...

They are making another phone game...

Because people play the shittiest build all the time.

Itll be a decent release

> Great Unclean One / Ku'Gath Plaguefather
> some kind of human sized unit ( either Poxwalkers for AoS, or Pestigors
> Beasts of Nurgle
> Snailboy
> Beasts of Nurgle
> maybe 1 or 2 other things like clampack characters.

Hope they make Herald of Nurgle available for purchase again.
