So is anyone salty that GW is gonna spend the next half-year going through all these "This is what X or Y faction was doing during the Fall of Cadia" rather than advancing the story?
I know >advancing the plot has become a meme, but I really want to know the implications of the Eye of Terror expanding for the wider Imperium.

>So is anyone salty that GW is gonna spend the next half-year going through all these "This is what X or Y faction was doing during the Fall of Cadia" rather than advancing the story? No because all of the other shit is advancing the story too.
Christian Nguyen
...
Tyler Murphy
No, since it means every faction gets some attention.
Cooper Nguyen
That's a very good point actually, I'm just stewing on a bit of a cliffhanger because of how frankly apocalyptic this is for humanity.
James Lewis
True.
>t. necron player who knows they're gonna get overlooked for meaningful plot development because shoehorning a meme character into the imperium's story counts as necron love

I am a tyranid player
my sadness is infinite
Blake Russell
I mean, I'm sure you guys can steal plenty of biomass while everyone's looking the other way, right? Right?
No but seriously given how popular GSC has proven it would be dumb for geedubs not to throw you guys a bone.
Alexander Harris
tfw more Eldar qt3.141s soon
are we entering a new age of 40k waifus?
Julian Torres
I just want new Chaos Space Marine or Slaanesh Daemons. I feel I'm not going to get that until after the Gathering Storm and that Traitor Legions was just released to tide us over.
Hunter Walker
So how do we fix Boys, anons?
However, no point reductions and I has to be 2!

The events of the first 4 End Times books. Nagash, Glottkin,, Khaine, Thanqoul happened at the same time. The story moved on and concluded at the final book, Archaon.
It seems like a GW writing trend.
>but I really want to know the implications of the Eye of Terror expanding for the wider Imperium.
Abaddon underlined. The Eye will take him to Terra or it will utterly destroy the galaxy. Either way, it doesn't matter. It's all going to end.
Charles Cruz
Abaddon going to Terra doesn't mean the story's over. I mean, the Emperor could very much revive somehow and push back.
Aaron Howard
Nothing other than change Mob rule. The rules of the entire game needs to be changed to make melee viable outside of just T1 charges.
Hunter Lopez
T4 W2 FNP6+ Nobz T5 W3 FNP5+ Warboss T7 W6 FNP3+
Any orks in a unit above 50% strength have Eternal Warrior
That seems FAIR AND BALANCED
Mason Parker
So... I kinda just bought units I liked the look of and some cheap deals on eBay and ended up with an army I'm not sure how to play. It's blood angels, I can run it as a CAD or Baal strike force, how shit is this?
Command squad 190 Power fist, two meltas, two storm Shields
Tactical terminators 200
I'm going to roll twice on strategic for master of ambush.
Ethan Morales
who will be in the:
Ork triumqvirate. Tau triumvirate. Tyranid triumvirate. Necron triumvirate. Chaos triumvirate. Space Marine triumvirate

So now that we know that the DEldar are fucking idiots who bred super nids do you think that the over taking of the dark city is going to be the nids story ark?
Jayden Wood
>Orkimides >Gazzy >Old Zogwort
Christopher Ortiz
Tyranids have been narratively irrelevant for a long time. the last time they had a significant effect on the setting was hive fleet leviathan.
I don't think GW even knows what to do with them story wise and they sure as hell don't give a shit about them as an army in the game.
John Richardson
All choppa type weapons have Momentum (re-roll wounds on charge). 1/5 special weapons, including new burna and big choppa acess 3 point 'eavy armour may upgrade to 'ard boys with 6+ fnp
Orks in general may charge out of vehicles at cruising speed with a dangerous terrain check (test negated by a upgrade)
Nolan Campbell
I like the old style of doing it. Leadership = unit size. Anything over 10 gives Fearless. Maybe it counts wounds instead of models, and instead of Fearless it gives Stubborn. 20 gives Fearless and 30 gives Feel No Pain +1?
>2 T4 wounds for 6 points >FAIR AND BALANCED
Made me hmm.
Anthony Jenkins
Abaddon, Lorgar and Perturabo.
William Garcia
Tau triumvirate. >Farsight >Shadowsun >OC (guessing Ethereal or Fireblade)

Bentley Ross
My money's on Abaddon achieving apotheosis as a result of the Crimson Path, so maybe he is the daemons.
Ayden Kelly
Based on the box design of a doomsday clock being made out of 4 x boxes... I'm sure w'ere only getting 4 of these
Tyler Sullivan
>Space Marine triumvirate
Roboute Guliman, Lion El'Jonson, Leman Russ
Julian Cooper
There's not much you really can do with Nids. They don't have character, personality, or story. There's no relatable or justifiable endgoal, and no real struggle for them. They just show up, kill everything or get killed, and that's that. There's no background to this, and no real sense of victory or defeat when they do anything. At absolute best, they're an excuse for other factions to get some development by fighting them, but that's every other faction at their worst.
Benjamin Rogers
>Azereal >not Lorgar
Christian Bailey
>Tyranid triumvirate Continuing the theme of female characters >Dominatrix >Norn Queen And just for fun, everyone's favorite tyranidn who was cucked to death in 6E >Old One Eye
Josiah Allen
As fond as I am of them this user has a point. They make Abaddon nuanced and sympathetic by comparison.
Aiden Jenkins
Honestly replacing mob rule with stubborn would make boyz okay. Have the bosspole be a flat re-roll to failed ld checks and you're golden.
Benjamin Ramirez
>not swarmlord and death leaper Its like you dont even follow the fluff :^)
Gavin Gutierrez
Which means Xenos Triumvirate >Led by Farsight, as the Hero >Supported by the Silent King, as the Support >with Ghazghkull, taking up the rear, as the Heavy
Nicholas Reyes
I personally think it is without fail going to be the swarmlord, deathleaper and one other random tyranid character.
The problem is these are all shit, tyranid players don't want them and just want either tyranids that have been depicted in epic or fluff but not 40k or new versions of Old One Eye, the Red Terror and the Doom of malan'tai.
Tyranid players ever getting anything they either want or need does seem basically impossible though.
Jace Morales
Mob Rule If a unit composed entirely of models with this special rule meets AT LEAST TWO of the following THREE criteria... -It is locked in combat -It has at least 10 wounds remaining between its models -It includes at least one character ...Then it is Fearless If the unit meets ONE of the criteria, it rerolls failed leadership tests. If it meets NONE of the criteria, it receives no benefit from Mob Rule.
James Harris
Reposting, still not sure if I should drop the third blob of zombies and the bike meltabombs for a second battery of wyverns
1850 Renegades of Vraks/Chaos Space Marines
Renegade Command Squad: Ordnance Tyrant with Covenant of Nurgle: 85
The Tyranids have connection to the warp, right? Why haven't they created a Chaos god? Alternatively, why doesn't Tzeench or Khorne support the fuck out of them?
Blake Green
>stubborn... ...the bosspole be a flat re-roll to failed ld checks. 58% chance to pass Ld 7, ~82% to pass Ld 7 with reroll
Looks good. Personally I'd make only Nobs (characters and unit) and Warbosses Stubborn, and make it so if Orks fail they fall back to the nearest Ork unit of same unit type and then merge / rally when getting into coherency
Juan Stewart
>tyranid players are hyper conservative because change has consistently fucked them and they want to go back to the good old days
Parker Jones
The Tyranids have zero connection to the warp
Brandon Torres
Daily reminder that Age of the Emperor isn't happening
Dylan Thomas
Would you guys say that the Eldar half of death masque for £60 is good value?
I want to start an army.
Charles Stewart
>you can get locked in assault by consolidating into enemy unit
Y/N?
Jason Bailey
Oh please
Brayden Ramirez
>buffing melee in a shooting edition Sure, why the warp not?
Hunter Barnes
Wrong, the Hivemind is in the Warp. It interacted with chaos Gods and the Golden Light of Terra.
Angel Ramirez
it was the case in 4e if i'm not mistaken hated melee in 4e
Ethan Reed
>t shill
Dominic Hughes
I thought Nids couldn't harness the warp thus why they aren't technically psykers?
Nolan Thompson
maybe they are setting us up for nid-elves, a whole army of kerrigans
Anthony Rogers
They harness the Warp via the Hivemind.
Isaiah Johnson
Tyranids don't interact with the warp like normal sentient beings since they don't have "souls" or even individual consciousnesses. Instead the hive mind uses the warp for communication, which creates the so-called "Shadow in the Warp" that makes astropath communication impossible, makes psykers bleed from their eyes etc.
Noah Rogers
The NIDS themselves aren't psykers but the hive mind does the psychic stuff for them.
Charles Stewart
Bit dissapointed, actually. I wanted it to happen.
Ryder Walker
id just quit fucking playing nids then might as well play GSCs
Luke Johnson
They will be. Slaanesh is getting canned and the Hive Mind will take the spot as the fourth Chaos God, letting Tyranids join the Grand Chaos Alliance
Robert Cox
That's not quite right. The hive mind isn't a discreet entity, it's the collective intelligence and consciousness of all tyranid organisms. Imagine that individual organisms are neurons in a brain and that they're linked together through the warp by synapse creatures.
Gabriel Lopez
>Tau >Not darkstrider as third choice He's a combination of farsight and shadowsun, he'll reunite them.
Ryan Stewart
They also said to a guy last week who had been collecting and painting Biel Tan for 20 years that it was not going to be annihilated so...
Christopher Edwards
I like how there's people who still insist Slaanesh is not getting shitcanned as GW is introducing the deity whose sole function in the narrative is to at least subdue if not outright destroy Slaanesh.
Connor Bell
I was more thinking that one close combat Ethereal taking over Aun'Va's currently vacant seat.
Kayden Rivera
I mean, for £35 more you get a deathwatch squad, a dreadnought and a boardgame. Haggle them down. I would max out at £45-50.
Jace Howard
the old 3e mobbing up rules?
Yeah, that'd be neat. Honestly orks only need small changes and tweaks to be okay. Problem is all the fan writers decide to go full retard to compete with whatever flavour of the month is present at the time.
Joshua Young
It wasn't. It just split up into a bunch of smaller ships.
Andrew Walker
Da Klanz
Goffs - All boys get +1 WS, W and T. Waagh-band or Goff Kill Mob

Grayson Bailey
>Tau >Not three Riptides
Lincoln Wilson
It is an entity. Both mortal and divine characters have interacted with it. It displayed anger and hurt when warp creatures or mortals damaged it via warpy means.
Nathaniel Campbell
Honestly with how these Tri boxes have been going, I'm expecting OCs >Imperium was 2/3 OC >Coteaz could've been given a plastic model and replaced Greyfax, but we got hat.
>Eldar was 3/3 OC, with Ynnead's Avatar being the most would expect.
Angel Williams
I don't understand this mentality.
>I've been collecting Cadians for xty years and now their planet is destroyed I'm being squatted >I've been collecting Biel-Tan for xty years and now their craftworld is destroyed I'm being squatted
I don't think their homeworld getting destroyed stopped pic related from being fielded as an army.
Cameron Walker
It's on ebay, it was originally 40 but it just went up to 65.
It's a shame element games doesn't have it in stock. I would have liked to have bought it there.
You know of anywhere else I can check? I don't really like buying Warhammer at full price, even if it's a god-tier deal like DM is.
Asher Rodriguez
So you guys like the retcon about the Craftworlds being a lot of ships joined together rather than a single huge vessel?
Jonathan Bell
It wouldn't personally bother me but I can understand why it would bother some people.
Owen Stewart
I said it's not a DISCREET entity. It is not separate from the tyranid organisms themselves, it's continuously generated by them, that's why it's called a hive mind. If you killed every physical tyranid there wouldn't be a non-physical hive mind being left over in the same way that you can kill the followers of a chaos god without causing any harm to the chaos god itself.
Robert Cox
Sure I like it, since it now means we know the Phalanx is probably bigger than anything those knife eared faggots built without bolting several things together.
>Look at my giant car! The biggest car in the world! You've just bolted 10 normal cars together >REEEEEEE It's the biggest car in the world!
John Carter
>It is not separate from the tyranid organisms themselves, it's continuously generated by them
But what about the Tyranids are are independent from the Hivemind like the Sawrmlord and genestealers?
Colton Jones
I kind of like the imagery of all the remaining Eldar ships coming together after the fall in random spots and just being all 'Well what now?' and sticking together for saftey. But I'm not an Eldar players so...
Christopher Thomas
Genestealers were designed as infiltration units to operate outside of the hive mind
the swarmlord is a recycled tyranid consciousness, its the original Hive tyrant mind and its neural configuration gets brought back from suspension whenever the nids are having trouble
all the other hive tyrants work in similar ways, they just haven't been doing it nearly as long as the swarmlord has so they don't have as much gravitas
Angel Allen
the tau triumvirate will just be 3 wings of 3 riptides each
Jack Ross
Sure, I'm always a fan to keep morale around, but let different armies handle it.
SM auto rally, Orks just retreat until they show up with even more friends, Tyranids are fearless in Synapse, etc.
>Problem is all the fan writers decide to go full retard to compete with whatever flavour of the month is present at the time.
Ya, because they "balance" against Scatbikes / Wraithknights because unless EVERYTHING is viable vs total cheese, their fandex is trash
Aaron Harris
Genestealers use a combination of instinctive infiltration behavior and their own localized version of the hive mind, often called "brood telepathy".
The swarmlord is really dumb, it's literally a hive-mind meme.
Asher Taylor
So when are we going to learn that the Tyranids were the old ones back up plan to kill the necrons? You know incase the krorks failed
Camden Wood
This sounds like an excuse for a slaan riding a carnifex
Michael Young
If they were meant to kill Necrons theyd've been mechanovores.
Benjamin Nguyen
>The swarmlord is the hive minds equivalent of getting so mad in an argument that it just starts posting image macros
Landon Sanchez
No because the c'tan eat souls and tyranids have no souls to eat so to defeat the c'tan you just remove all the souls!
Carter Wilson
>eat souls They eat vital energy.
Souls are chaos shit.
Cooper Robinson
Are GSC the best recent codex?
>unique and fun to play >easy to learn, but has some depth to it >makes good use of all phases
Eli Powell
>vital energy sounds like souls to me
William Edwards
You'd also have to extinguish every star as that's the C'tans original food source.
Carson Morales
Yep, makes the period after the fall much more interesting. Also makes a clear paralel with the comorragh.
