Warhammer 40k general

The same way you did at below 1k.
Exorcists and more melta spam then the opponent can deal with.
Also dead hurty DCA squads.

Necron player here. Is Abbadon and his Terminator squad worth it for a melee punch? I don't like the aesthetic of Wraiths, and they're Allies of Convenience.

Who are the guys in the top left and right corners?

...

>Orks are a melee race!

>*engaging reanimation protocols*
>foolish, feeble and insignificant you dare to rise against the Necrontir.

Or an exarch with powerblades.

fuck off. this thread is for serious warhammers 40k discussion.

...

No.

You'd honestly be better off with lychguard.

>this thread is for serious warhammers 40k discussion.

I was almost certain that it was an Elf, but I was unsure if Tau had teleportation yet. Still an offensive sight to the Imperator Titan.
>be an Imperator Titan
>you're older than the Imperium
>see Eldar wanking off to their wraith everything
>have to spend hours trying to murder the jumping wraithknight

Abbadon will destroy anything he gets into melee with. The Terminators suck hard, and you have no way to actually get them to melee.

If you really want CSM, go for a Khorne lord on a juggernaut or a Nurgle lord on a bike, and give them a biker retinue. That might do something, maybe.

I don't see why you'd bother when Lychguard are so cool though.

holy shit
is that a bait or something?

Is Farsight useable as an HQ choice without having to make him a bomb?

Well, actually, I lied. Abbadon will destroy anything that doesn't have AP 2 at initiative in melee. Five wolfen with AP2 weapons will always kill him, for instance.

Sure. You can do whatever with him. Stick him in a squad of vespid and use their speed to help slingshot him into CC

Stop forgetting the novel link. REEEE.

When I saw the Banshee unsheeth her sword in the DoW3 trailer I thought this.

This is what you call a 'joke'. It is a rare and elusive thing. Especially in the world of Autism that is Veeky Forums.

...

>More Knight bullshit
>Eldar, Orks, Marines as the only races

why even bother buying it

With great difficulty

>only races seen so far

>This is what Veeky Forums calls a 'joke'. A common pest whose mangled copses litter the ground as their deformed limbs cannot carry them

Preach it brother.

>Very specifically only a three race campaign

necrons or nids might show up to get jobbed on as enemy only, but that'll be it

>vespid
>help slingshot him into CC

Huh, how does that work?

Is it a good army build/ tactic to focus on footslugging renegade platoon squads when playing Renegades and heretics?

It doesnt.

I'm pretty sure they'll confirm Chaos sooner or later
The trailer has some "hints"
>Skulls and corpeses everywhere
>The skull throne at the end
>The statue of the emperor crumbling down at the start

same reason I bought the first dawn of war

because it's going to be really fucking fun

Is "It's a joke" the new form of "I was only pretending to be retarded".

>new
AHAHAHAHAHA

>Join farsight to vespid
>Farsighted moves up 6", one of the vespid moves 12", the rest move middling distances to keep coherency
>Lead vespid charges into CC
>Everyone gets to move up, inuding Farsight who's super far away

A bit of a weird trick. I was mostly joking with that suggestion, but the sad thing is it wouldn't be too bad.

Pile in moves are only 3", and you have to remain in unit coherency.

Try again.

>whining about the most iconic races being featured in the game.
Oh woe you.

I think we should replace the loyal knight in the OP image with the upsidedown knight from this.

Doesn't this only work if the Vespid only have to move once to get into CC?

Probably the same IG HFY faggot from last thread.

if only they replaced the orks with tyranids, then it would be a true StarCraft II game. Right now it's like it's trying to be 40k or something. wow.

Orks alone make it worth it. Hell, I'd play a game that featured nothing but orks v orks.

but charge moves are 2d6 and you only need to be 2" away from a squadmate who is in CC. This allows farsight to potentially charge enemies that would normally be out of range for his 6" movement.
He may not end up engaged in combat, but at least he's locked

Then how do you charge anything?

If you charge something 12" away with an assault squad, but can only pile in 3", what do you think happens?

Yeah? Why bother with Dawn of War 1.

Oh, wait, you mean DoW 3? Oh.

You don't need to chain them out until you're ready to charge.

In one of the pictures of gameplay, there is what looks like an Alpha Legion Knight fighting with the bloodravens.

>Most Iconic
>Eldar
>Literally just elves
>Not Tyranids
>Not IG
>Not Chaos

>I'd play a game that featured nothing but orks v orks.
that's because you are an ork player, and ork players inherently have bad taste. they do play orks after all. :^)

I had trouble finding those, sauce please?

>muh tyranids, muh guard, muh chaos
orks, eldar and space marines are the original races

Relic knows. Everyone else can wait their turns.

You only move the total inches shown on the dice. You don't move into base contact because one model got there.

And sure, you can be locked in combat... Just pray the vespid unit doesnt get destroyed and swept before he actually gets to fight.

Eldar are among the most iconic races of 40k.
The Top 3 are SPESH MUHREENS, ORKS and the ELDAR. They have been part of 40k since the fucking Rogue Trader.
To think differently is just delusion.

Why can't we have the WD link? REEEE.

mediafire.com/folder/tx4hcy4u487pv/WD

So guys, do you think Macha will finally get laid in DoW III?

if the vespid are 6" ahead of him (which makes sense case 6" move vs 12" move), then you only need to roll 1" more than the distance between the closest vespid and the enemy to get farsight into combat (1" + 3" pile in + 2" engaged distance)

Sad but true. I also play GK and Death Korp so I'm only 33.3% scrub.

>Gorkamorka

>Alpha Legion Knight

Makes me wonder is the Alpha Legion faction that was aligned with Kyras still running amok.

I don't think it said they were destroyed.

Knights aren't owned by the space marines tho? At best it would be a knight household that unfortunately uses the Alpha Legion colours

He means this and he shoulder pad.

Stop posting your retarded decade old memes.
They weren't funny back then, and sure as hell aren't funny now.

Whoops this was meant for this:

The alpha legion under kyras was probably the leftovers of Bale's warband. They probably had some kind of deal with the demon of the maledictum.

I wish retribution was about Gabe so we could have found out some of that shit. At least he's back for 3.

Chaos Warbands don't exactly follow a separation of factions.

You can have anything from Traitor Guard to Renegade Knights and Daemons that all take orders from a Traitor Astartes Chaos Lord.

Yeah...ok
I get what he meant but that's just the family the knight it belongs to, nothing to do with the alpha legion (sadly)

I know. The only nod to Chaos is the fact the bodies end up in what looks like the skull throne. But I just see it as Death being an edgy bitch talking over people who are stuck in a cauldron of war.

Can anybody tell me what the silly face used for the OP in most of these generals is called?

Top left: Renegade Knight.
Top right: Imperial Knight.

>Eldar
>Literally just elves

I don't know why you're upset, you clearly don't even like 40k in the first place.

>Ig are literally just Starship Troopers
>Nids are literally just xenomorphs
>Chaos are literally just spikey marines

So how easy it is to be a faggot?

it'd look out of place

Flipping the knight upside down for a thread or two would be a fine alteration of the meme image, though.

Dunno, but here is the template.

And another game which won't let ne play as my undead robot faction. I'm 2 edgy 4 normal factions!!1!

>Line from the necron codex in the front

Nigga come on, that trailer is totally the space marine having some kind of fever dream as he dies to a necron harvest.

Necron overlord being the last stand hero they chose also has some meaning.

I don't care though. We got Gabe, Macha and Gorgutz back. Anything else is gravy.

ahh thanks

...

>I'll never get to play as Jain Zar in a Warhammer game

Well maybe Eternal Crusade, but I mean.

>Line from the necron codex
What page? Alternatively, which codex?

Orks 7th Edition Update (2016)

Nobz weapon prices fixed. Stormboyz can take 'Eavy Armor @ 3pts ea. Fixed prices of KFF & MFF, & clarified use (bearer's unit, & all other units within 6" of it, get the bonus; 6" from vehicle's hull).

Again, it's a .BSR file that opens with the desktop version of BattleScribe Roster Editor: File -> Import data file.

Feedback welcomed.

sleep tight happy space marine

My first thought was Slaanesh.

I don't think it's assigned to anyone in it.

My girlfriend might be wrong, let me check.

>Gorgutz
Are you telling me we have confirmation on the glorious 'Ead 'Unter himself?

I've also checked the codex for "darkness", going through all the times it comes up. The quote ain't in there.
>I-it's the gf's fault
Shameful dispray.

Yes. The original trio are back.

Yup. Gorgutz, Angelos, and Macha are all confirmed, as are three campaigns; one for each faction

GB2YT comment sections.

I'm not sure why she said it's in the codex, but if you do google the quote, it's always tied to that guy about Necrons.
