WarHammer 40k General

AoS isn't great, but I heard they're getting points, and since I've not played WHFB for over a decade (though collected the stuff) my local group might be back to playing it again. Who knows. That said, I flicked through their new models and I honestly don't mind them. The Khorne things make decent Khorne Berserkers and basis for conversions. The board game models they released were fantastic and makes me wonder why 40k hasn't got models like that. The Orcs were neat as well, especially the Boar riding one. Makes me want Cyboars back.

25 PPM for a T4, 3+ Jetbike with a TL'ed shuriken catapult and S6 AP3 on the charge. They're not good, but they've got uses. A small unit is pretty good at wiping out stragglers of units that the rest of your hideously OP army wiped out. Against elite armies with low Leadership they also stand a pretty decent chance of breaking and running down medium sized units.

The idea that a single subpar unit in an army as ludicrously overpowered as Craftworld Eldar is something to evoke pit from Orks and CSM is laughable.

Have you preordered the best dice in the world, that all other dice look up to, Veeky Forums?

It really is my biggest gripe with Orks in 40K.

They have so much potential to be developed in a interesting way but all we get is Boy + (insert weapon).

I hate it more than our ruleset.

Just imagine how much you could expand on the feral aspect of it, Squiggoth cavalary units anyone?

Huge feral beasts that are prized possessions of Warbosses and shipped from World to World, and have been made cybernetic or jammed full of Weapons.

Expand the tank aspect, expand the Grot aspect.

Its so boring in such a fascinating race.

But user, i've already got my Alpha Legion dice from FW

I won't claim AoS models to be perfect, just the best part of the game so far.

I wish we had Fantasy models + 40K Ork lore.

Ultramarines huh.
You've succumb to suggestion and marketing. You tell yourself its theme and fluff, but thats the power of clever sales on a feeble mind. Sorry bro, but dont feel bad. Someone has to be part of the herd. You are a resource, and an essential cog, dont you forget that.

I know about it, I just misspoke twice, Shining Spears are the only t4 units in my army so 3 was what came to mind, bit embarrassing as i actually had the codex open to look up their point value.
Such is the fate of token units.

Wraithknights don't have squadrons, though I was wrong about the SS.
I should know better than to post based on memory seeing as I'm an absolute ass when others do it.

40k has. It's called Deathwatch: Overkill
