Is there any race that you haven't played against in a long time or ever?
I just had my first game ever against ad mech, but they're a new faction anyway.

Battlereport:
So tee gee, I think I faced That Guy today. I'm a noob, for what its worth.
>be me >go to local GW with 1000 points of scions, inquisition and a few marines since there was a mega battle happening >was a little late and they already started >guy I had seen there before was at the other table, asks if I'm down for a game >he says 1850, I say I only have 1k >"oh okay. Do you have anything that could harm a knight?" >mfw >his Tau friend who I'd fought before comes up with a Taurox and a squad of scions (he'd wanted to play Kill Team) >I kind of wanted to face him in Kill Team (and sort of asked him) >knight guy budges in, essentially forces us to play him
I should have just said no but I went ahead anyway. God dammit. I even heard about this guy's knight list from other store-goers, but when I had first met him he was running KDK and seemed like a chill dude (still seems nice but...). Anyways:
>Other guy who I had met before comes up, looking concerned >tells knight guy, "dude are you really gonna bring like 3 knights to a 1k point game" >ends up lending me his 2 dreadknights because he felt bad >game start, 3 knights on the table (two short ones and the tall guy) >immediately shunt the two DKs over to the short knight in the back because reasons >send a rhino with a plasma tac squad up the field a little >DKs and knight shoot it out a little >rhino takes a hit, -1 HP >his knights advanced to take out my servo skulls
Next I did something really dumb. Being a noob, for some reason I thought you rolled for reserves all at once instead of by each unit. I rolled a 1 and kept all my melta scions in reserves. No one caught my mistake and I didn't realize it until my DK friend mentioned it later.
>DKs assault back knight, murderzone him >Tall knight and little knight shoot up the Chimera (immobilized), Rhino (dies) and Taurox (dies) >tall knight assaults DKs, begins dunking them >luckily I had to leave for something and bailed out at that point
Fuckin A.
Ryder Turner
>>he says 1850 Immediate warning bells go off when you hear this guys. 1850 is faggot tier points.
>knight guy budges in, essentially forces us to play him No, man up and tell him to fuck off with his noise
>3 knights to a 1k point game Please tell me you took this kid out back and beat his ass
> No one caught my mistake Because not having your meltas shoot their knights is better for them. 100% if you rolled for them to arrive they would have mentioned you did it wrong
Jose Diaz
Yeah. You're right. Looking back on it, I kind of thought I could take him since we'd houseruled that my 4 scion squads were all melta command squads.
But if I won, then we'd have a knight player claiming his army was underpowered because it got rekt by stormtroopers.
Anthony Evans
So what glue is best? It seems to be doing OK, but it sticks when I don't want it to, and doesn't when I do.
So, got a suggestion on a good plastic glue?
Joseph King
GW glue is fine in my experience. The plastic glue, that is. The new weird ass super glue tubes are fucking garbage.
Christian Bell
How would you make a Soviet-inspired Tau (Cold War era)?
Joshua Gutierrez
paint them all red and give them little yellow sickle and hammer decals.
Austin Martinez
Sweet Jesus Christo above, user. You bailed at the perfect time. Also why is that reaction image so perfect?
Alexander Brooks
you are obligated to say comrade at least once an hour. perhaps a mustache on every tau?
Luis Perez
Spam Tanks and Riptides/Skyrays. The more missiles, the better. Also, all infantry formations are mechanized.
Bentley Gonzalez
The hammer and sickle thing probably would be ill-fitting for Tau. The closest thing they would make is drone and riptide. Can they ever grow facial hair?
Angel Gonzalez
GW brick and mortars have terrible playerbases in my experience. If you have an flgs I'd suggest checking it out. I spent the first two years in the hobby going to a GW. Almost quit because I couldnt stand associating myself with a bunch of that guys. Luckily I decided to give the flgs a second chance - best decision I couldve made.
Cameron Foster
Minimal unit upgrades, absolutely no drones, quantity over quality tons of infantry backed by couple overblown superweapons. HQ must be the most useless unit of the whole community.
Jose Ortiz
model a tank after the Trabant or Lada
Jeremiah Bailey
>facial hair
Ethereals can.
Juan Baker
Dark Eldar. I have other armies, but I've never played against DE. Ever.
I only use mine for low-points (1K and under) casual games.
Charles Hughes
Huh. Well I be darned they can. The shake weights did draw my attention first.
Isaac Martin
Does it count as facial hair or epic neckbeard?
Julian Howard
Use the Testor's that comes in the black triangle shaped plastic container. It has a small metal tube applicator and lasts forever.
Angel Brown
what's his full list? I want to be that guy
Lincoln Williams
>No drones.
Red Alert lied to me.
David Peterson
What is so bad about 1850? That was the limit my friend group was aiming for...
Liam Reed
They're right next to my house and from what I gather they all hate the knight guy too (even the manager). Overall they've been pretty good, but I will start looking around now.
Just 5 knights, one of which is the tall one (atrapos I think).
Austin Gray
user, that's just a long braided goatee. neckbeards are terrible
Hudson Watson
But why? It's a redflag. Which Aptros? The one larger than a Warhound?
Daniel Hill
This time in events that never happened: This shocking story will surely rile some emotion in you!
Dylan Fisher
>Which Aptros? The one larger than a Warhound?
There are zero knights bigger then a warhound.
Owen Watson
The better question is, can they have fu-manchu hair and look good?
Hunter Brown
>but why my life is miserable, I want to make some neckbeards cry and rage at forums because of me
Oliver Watson
Red Army or Blue army (for originality)?
William Hall
Just don't expect anyone to want to play you a second time. You're better off building a fair army that you get really good with and then trash talking.
Noah Nelson
Oh yes there is. It's a newer 30k Knight that got resized. It's larger than the Supremacy Suit. It's a 50/50 deal. Some do some don't. Depends on the Tau. Get out and get fresh air.
True. Definitely no way I'm gonna accept a game from that dude again.
David Gonzalez
>It's a redflag For what, though?
Camden Hill
Yeah why would 1850 specifically be bad?
Caleb Sullivan
>There are zero knights bigger then a warhound.
Isn't one of the new Forge World ones coming out soon to be as large or slightly larger than a Warhound is?
Owen Evans
I say fu-manchu beard for slender ones while those with a Earth-case like build get bushy beards.
Jack Reed
>not giving bushy beards to fire warriors so they can be OPERATORS
Landon Jackson
...
Daniel Sullivan
Same size as Ta'unar, Ta'unar is smaller then a warhound.
Josiah Lewis
That's the one.
Ayden Hernandez

Carson Peterson
I've never played against Orks, though I'd really like to. Everyone in my flgs played AdMech, Tau, SM, or Khorne Daemonkin. Orks just seem like a genuinely fun army to play against, I wish they had better rules.
Adrian Fisher
>and look good tau never look good, so no
Got to cover up all their ugly mugs with helmets.
Liam Miller
Nice! I've got a tackle box I use to store my CSM, and the top shelf has all my bitz in it sorted as best I can.
Eli Morris

Adam Hall

Noah Flores
I have now played over 125 games with my Orkz since 6th edition started, AMA
Aaron Thompson
W/L ratio?
Fun per hour?
Jackson Brooks
I wanted to play orks when I started but I didn't want to lose all the time so I went for AM instead. I wish orks had better rules too.
Carter Adams
No imperial knight is the size of a warhound.
John Edwards
Feeling kind of dispirited today 40k general, drove for two hours today to seek out two different hobby shops to find a game and neither of them had any 40k community, just lots of MtG players. While at least I have some devastators and a Space Marine Heroes set coming in to build andpaint, any tips on how to get better at the game while I'm sitting in a dead zone for my hobby? Sorry for blogging.
Jonathan Roberts
>W/L ratio? 65/35 my favor roughly, maximum fun per hour
Kayden Barnes
Zog me it's bootiful.
Gabriel Jenkins
That's what you get for not calling ahead you git.
Cameron Kelly
I have a lot more, my collection all in all is like 10,000 points give or take
Tyler Scott
Disgusting. Too many toys and not enough boyz.
Anthony Phillips
Get your friends to buy Tabletop Simulator when it goes on sale and play online. There's a fairly healthy selection of maps and armies, assuming you don't mind a little proxying here and there.
Brandon Carter
...
Austin Sanchez
Still not enough boys to toys.
Jayden Williams
how can you deal with pie plates and people bunkering in a corner etc?
how would you rank opposing armies from ez to hard? including mirror match
Daniel Lee
>those screaming red blobs Good heavens.
Anthony Lewis
made a 1850 pt list for a sort of mad king scenario, I know Necrons are strong right now but I don't see anybody using destroyers, hope this list isn't too cheesy
Destroyer cult formation
Destroyer Lord phylactery, voidreaper, phaseshiftier, and mineshackle scarabs
three units of 6 destroyers one each upgraded to a heavy destroyer
one unit of 3 heavy destroyers
CAD
Lord war scythe and mineshackle scarabs
two units of 5 immortals with tesla carbines
two units of 10 flayed ones
8 lichguard with sword and board
Cameron Anderson
check online for locals
and they just keep getting bigger and bigger; where will it end?
Elijah Cruz
It's netlist territory. Especially in the UK where our tourneys aren't played at that points level if someone comes in wanting to play 1850 is so they can thoughtlessly drop the FOTM list down and expect an easy win.
Liam Foster
hire a prostitute to play with you, we do it once a month for my D&D group
Michael Torres
The new knight is a manlet and you are still bitching.
Brayden Rivera
Wait a minute, that new knight is armed with those fucking D blast laser guns isn't it?
John Wright
No, lascannons instead.
Mason Ross
Plate armies you either go shooty/heavy armor or very very fast
CSM/Marines, Nids, DE, Orkz, Daemons I would rank "normal"
Guard, Tau, Eldar, Knights I would rank "ah crap"
Knights I rank "zog me"
Easton Hall
Chaos Knights I rank "zog me"
Josiah Wilson
I hope they make the lasers strength D in the final draft, because fuck eldars.
Jordan Harris
Eldar Wraithhost I rank "Juz zog me up git"
Alexander Howard
Ah slightly scaled down then, makes sense. Is this also the first superheavy that doesn't have HPs that are a multiple of 3?
Colton Nelson
...
Joseph Powell
Most tourney groups (easily spotted by their house rules and an acronym name) play at that point value. That means all the opponent is doing is playing at list literally printed from the internet from matches that give new meaning to WAAC faggots. Rarely, it's the point value of a FLGS, but it's pretty much only that if they are tourney fags. So basically, if you wanna play a game and your opponent says the point value should be 1850, look over what they are bringing. Even if you already agreed to play and are in the middle of setting up, if the faggot puts down infinite eldar bikes, wraithknights, grav spam or an invisible deathstar, decline the match. If your opponent asks why, you can say the game isn't worth your time (because it will be literally 0 fun for you to get crushed) and/or you don't play against WAAC min maxed meta tourney lists for pickup games in the same why you don't punch yourself in the face for fun.
Also, we might summon the tourney fags and their houserule spouting by talking about this. Please ignore them, they are a plague and a cancer on the game.
Daniel Wilson
i am but a humble chaos daemon, i must sow chaos where ever i am
Hunter Thomas
Well, it does help that SP points are being rulled out. The reason that the factors of three existed was because Structure points was a thing. It was used to calculate void shield regen I think and was given to superheavies for their hp instead. 1sp=3hp
Sebastian Kelly
This image was deceptive then.
Noah Butler
Those are muh wierdboyz, one of my favorite units
Tyler Scott
These are always deceptive. Most of those slideshows are made twenty minutes before they are revealed and are put together by interns.
Brody Hernandez
Heres a tide I brought for a tourney
Jordan Bell
I bet that Knight and Gorkanaut had an interesting time.
Samuel Ortiz
Nice and bunched up for all those blasts.
Charles Ross
Thats betta
Bentley Russell
they are definitely weird.
Brayden Carter
So should I tell my group to push for 2000 instead of 1850?
Bentley Clark
They did, essentially punched each other to death I got lucky on the charge and took him with me
I had to come out like that, had to fit how ever many tons of boys it was inside of six inches, I got slaughtered that game, actually beat or tied with everyone else that day tho
Colton Campbell
You should play at whatever level you like. Personally, I prefer 3k doubles.
Isaiah Jackson
>two effectively codex-compliant chapters play more uniquely compared to codex SM than CSM do
csm update when
Dylan Foster
Nut nuff boyz!
Gabriel Lee
You should play whatever everyone is comfortable with. One guideline: More points means less min maxing can occur, because you have more points for more answers. My FLGS standard is 2k, but that's just what we are used to. You wouldn't think 150 extra points means much, but considering that's basically another answer to something I might encounter, that's good. Try out other points values, 2k is good, 2.5k, 3k as well. Then downgrade, try 1.5k and 1k. See which of the points values you guys enjoy more. Odds are, you'll want more points for more toys. Just keep in mind too many points can make the game take too long.
>csm update when It's probably sitting on the CEOs desk while he compares it to the internet and the rage it would cause, mostly among 3.5 edition faggots.
Nathaniel Murphy
Everyone keeps complaining about how units keep getting too large and yet dont say anything on how the new titan is smaller then a dread-knight
Ayden Rogers
Favorite HQ?
Michael Campbell
>mfw the CEO is still upset about 3.5, pre nerf heldrakes, and the white dwarf chaos daemons update
