40k General

>Type 40k in the search bar because you're not a retard
WOW, THAT WAS SO HARD user.

Nobody worth being in the thread anyway.

If we get rid of the people that can't read and only look at pictures we'll get fewer retarded rules questions as well.

Confirmed that it IS a retcon as well by a BL writer.

Now we'll just get the determined retards.

coolest imperial fighter coming through.

Eeeh, top 3.

Everyone is a chaplain now!

I am playing the Adeptus mechanicus(Skitarii) and if got an engiseer from a friend can i play him with the Skitarii or could i make an allied Space marine chapter take a tank and use him somehow or is he basically useless?

I still prefer the BRRRRTvenger strike fighter.

ITT: we create a new and somewhat unique idea for a Lord of Chaos, be he Space Marine, Mortal, or Xenos.

I'll start.

>The Hollow King: Formerly of the Thousand Sons, the Hollow King was transformed into a Rubric Marine in his Terminator Armor. Unlike many of his fellow Rubricae, however, he still possesses his faculties and a vague fragment of his former personality, that waxes and wanes according to unseen and unknown influences. In addition, he possesses a subconscious but very strong psychic ability, and unknowingly uses this to boost his warband of Rubric Marines to better effectiveness. He speaks in riddles and half-truths, and often forgets when and where he is on the battlefield. He often sits silently on his throne for days, doing nothing but staring out the viewport of his command ship into the Warp, while he is polished, cleaned, and anointed by slaves, before he will randomly speak to a scribe who translates all he says. When he remembers who he is, he hates Ahriman and what he's done to him, and has sworn vengeance for him and his Rubric brothers.

>Confirmed that it IS a retcon as well by a BL writer.

A recton that GW's management told the writer to make.

Because fuck dem Templar and fuck dem mary sues.

Are those lascannons meant to be positioned like that or did someone fuck it up?

Anyway this is clearly the most LOYAL, coolest and definitely IMPERIAL fighter.

and here's the coolest attack flyer

Pretty much useless unless you ally, but doing so with guard is tough.

Any formations with engineers require about 3-5 tanks

Just use him as a Skitari hero or champion

that's a space cobra/apache

Fuck off, thunderbolt is still the king. All other fighters look like garbage next to it.

Enginseer is Imperial Guard.

So, he's useless. You could probably use him as a proxy, if that's fine with your friend.

>loyal
>cool
pick none.

>Are you ready for Winghammer 40k?
I have my Aegis Quad-gun, manned by a company command squad. Jink as you please.

>how many fliers do you own?
2 Vendetta.

>Lord Al'zheimers, The Hollow King

>Help I'm being raped by crimson hunters, the plane
>cool

I'm legit not allowed to bring my Fire Raptor to casual games, because it just owns so fucking much and I have a nasty habit of managing to deploy it exactly where it needs to be exactly when it needs to be there.

Winners aren't losers.

>crimson turds
>cool
disgusting, especially since nightwings exist in the same faction

yes

So did FMC get changes in Death From the Skies?

>how many fliers do you own?
I have an entire Wing, because my friends and I used to play a fuckton with fliers.

So
>2 Orcas
>2 Tigersharks with Heavy Railguns
>3 Barracudas
>3 Sun Shark Bombers
>6 Razorsharks

Mostly use them for 4k+ point battles or our "fliers only" games.

Really looking forward to the update, even if my FW stuff might be outdated for a long time. We used to have all kinds of scenarios and special rules, like Protect the Orca, or claim an objective on the ground and get off the table with it. Hype train, tchuu tchuu

>Dreadnought doing nothing at all.

None rumoured so far

>Get every weapon but the bolters wrong.webm

>No Manta

Dropped

>FMC
>Left in the dirt
Suck it Nids and Chaos. No good shit for you. We Marine edition :^)

never said they were cool. But in the lore your lightning bolts get blasted by them.

Anyone seen them Battle for Vedros sets in stores yet? Any clue to the RRP?

Yeah
>Flying Monstrous Creatures that have the ability to go into Swooping mode may no longer use it and are instead always treated as being in Gliding mode.

Considered it, but nah. It is just a glorified transport, and a squishy one at that.

It would be fun to fly in tanks, though.

When we will get Space Escorts (900m long) support option?

>Vultrure gunship
>fighter

okay dude

Why are you bitter and hateful?

Good news: yesterday I checked the Dakkajet sprues, and I can confirm that the model in White Dwarf uses pieces from each of the 3 Dakkajet sprues, so we'll get all the sprues in the Blastajet kit.

Bad news: today I checked GW's site to do some price comparisons. They're not selling the Dakkajet kit anymore. I'm not talking "out of stock" here, it's not even on the website.

Dakkajet kit was £27.50, new one is £40.

Anyone got a PDF of Angels of Death and/or Index Astartes Apocrypha yet?

>Half the Flyers in the game losing Skyfire
>Somehow a bad thing for FMCs

Why waste your command squad shooting? Let your platoon commander fire it

>Squishy

How can 30 hullpoints possibly be squishy?

>£40 for like one extra sprue

And fucking dropped.

GW can suck a dick, every Ork player should just pick up a cheap dakkajet and convert it

So that's a £13 price hike on the ork fliers. Great.

I see the stormtalon's disappeared off the webstore too, but marine players only get a compulsary £6 price hike.

Cuz everything is nerf to nids. Poor us, right?

I have a bit of a dilemma, /40kg/.

I want to play Space Marines, but I just cannot decide which chapter I want to do.

I love the Imperial Fists and their Chapter Tactics seem great to me, but am told that yellow is hard to do right, especially for a beginner, and I can't decide on which sucessor to do.

The Crimson Fists are cool, but for some reason their color scheme turns me off, and I don't know why.

Anyone have any recommendations?

But a Razorwing has the supersonic rule (Flat out 18"-36") already!

WHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GAMES WORKSHOP?! HAVE YOU NOT MADE MY WALLET SUFFER ENOUGH ALREADY?!

FOR YEARS YOU HAVE DOZENS OF MULTIKITS FOR IMPERIAL PLAYERS, AND THEN TURN AROUND AND PULL THIS SHIT ON US ORK PLAYERS! WHY!? YOU COULD MAKE MORE MONEY DOING THIS WITH THE IMPERIALS ANYWAYS!

Command squad casts Ignores cover/Tank hunter on itself so those 4 S7 shots actually get work done.

Because you never snap fire at it, skyfire or not.

40 hull points vanish incredibly fast when people can just melta it to death at full BS, adding all the fun of low AP weapons against the already shitty vehicle damage on top of some delightful Crash And Burn results.

So yes, it is squishy as fuck, ESPECIALLY considering how many points it costs.

Look at other Fists successors

1 Vendetta
1 Voss pattern lightning
1 Storm eagle
1 avenger strike fighter
3 razorwing jetfighters
1 voidraven bomber
2 nightwings
1 vampire hunter
1 Lynx (they have flyer as unit type, but act like skimmers)

Because bullshit IG orders.

IG are basically Tau, just with vehicles instead of suits. If you rely on cover of any kind, you are fucked against either of them.

Oh goody, more time spent in ongoing reserves. Maybe we should play 1500-2000 point games on apocalypse tables so there's enough room for the fliers.

STFU and go buy 4 new flyers, piggy...

Look at this guy. He has a differently colored facemask. It's amazing, isn't it?

>I can't decide on which successor to do.

Pretty sure that implies that user did look at them.

playing dark crusade for the first time, which army do i campaign with fatguys?

>£160
Dayum.

Shut up GW, I'm only buying 1 from you and 2 from ebay.

But seriously, imagine the cash GW could make if you had to buy the sprues for every single vehicle based on the Rhino every time you wanted to buy a Rhino.

What's the cheapest way to get a Barracuda into my list? The detachment I'm using doesn't allow it (obviously) but I don't want to lose the benefits I get if I switched to a combined arms unit.

>IG are basically Tau
Then why don't IG armies win any major tournaments?

I'm seriously asking, trying to netlist with IG is fucking hard, but my meta is super hardcore to.

I come bearing gifts brothers
Gifts suitable for the Angels of Death themselves

mega:///#fm/JdFg0DaI

thanks heretic

Because vehicles suck in the current edition.

I would've kinda liked it.
Wouldn't have had to go to recasters to get my sprues.

Plus side, once I'm done, my 9 rhinos can be any Space Marine vehicle.

Although upgrade sprues should really be a thing and sold separately.

For those having trouble with mega

mediafire.com/?uodgey55g042gds

I don't really care for that new flying DLC. You guys?

I never got what's so great about them. Just some of S5 and S7 dakka. With the position of the turrets it's not like it's even getting to fire its guns all at the same target.

I'll be buying flyers. Just like how people bought knights. Ive always like planes though.

>IG is basically Tau with vehicles instead of suits

Have you heard of MC spam? JSJ troops? GC heavy support choice? Riptide Wings? OSC? Useful formations?

I get that you have lost a few frustrating games to IG, but dont go full retard because of it.

I guess I'm gonna be using the skyfire manticore and Vendetta in every list now. Fuck your Jet fighters

Don't worry, user. By 8th it's in the core rules. Best to get used to it now.

So then, IG arent 'basically Tau with vehicles'.

Dont insult the Imperial Guard by comparing them to the 'my first army' weeb easy-mode-point-click-delete codex.

>IG are basically Tau
That's true, only vehicles are way worse than monsters and their 'suits' can't use marker lights.

So in other words, balanced.

The BS5 (including Strafing Run) TL Avenger Bolt-Cannon fucks up MEQ's like none other, and I like to bring them armed with Reaper Batteries, Hellstrike Missiles, and Malefic Ammunition for MAXIMUM FUCK for pretty much all targets.

Also, have that thing shoot the fuck out of a squad or MC, then park it less than 6" from the unit. If you've got a Dirge Caster, that decimated unit now can't fire Overwatch This kills the Riptide.

What is this a sprue of

I need it right this very second

The bottom of the image says chaos terminators champs on the tray

>I'm only buying 1 from you
That's a good Goyim...

Unless they pop up on eBay or my LFGS for cheaper. [INSERT OBNOXIOUS SMILEY FACE HERE]

>Rubric Marine
>psychic ability
>cognizant
That's not how that works.

Lel, all these triggered astra militarum players. Gonna use this as a bait in future threads.

>astra militarum
Next you'll tell me there's no such thing as a Chevy Malibu.

that rule is probably going away if flyer speed is becoming a listed stat.

>Veeky Forums
>playing 40k

No. We mathammer, moan about X and Y and fund recasters. That's all we do. Oh and then moan GW are dying cause they're losing money which is totally not our fault, but theirs!

Move away, Imperial maggots.
Coolest flyer coming through.

Just like on tabletop then!

>blaming the consumer for not buying shit product
Okay then, shill.

This If vehicles were as good as MCs, IG would stomp all over the place.

A change in the core rules could easily flip the tables, because they do the same shit. Easy access to ignores cover, lots of special weapons, and tons of high strength pie plates.

It is only the platform that these are present on (weaksauce infantry and papertanks) that are holding IG armies back.
