Bump

Blood Axes are da best and here's proof!

Every character from other klanz was nerfed, yet Snikrot was buffed!

Did girlyman say that to the emperor?

He's done with everyone's shit

7th for armor autism

Okay, guys.

Post your best fucking Nids buffs.

Further proof that Blood Axes is best, boss!

Make Storm troopers not awful.

What loyalist faction is the most redpilled to how shitty and corrupt the imperium is at the present moment?

Excluding guilliman of course, is it space puppies or maybe the grey knights?

Nids are removed as a player army and can be used in special 3 way scenerios where the army acts off of a D66 table to finally make them the npc army

GSCs can still be a player army because they aren't shit

Probably the officio assasinorum.

Apparently the answer is to just take a third extra points, but they still lost. Maybe half again?

I use the Veeky Forums edition on 1d4chan among friends, and it's great fun for stompy Nidzilla lists.

The Marines Malevolent or the Iron Hands.

Marines Malevolent by just rolling with it. The world sucks, so what? Marines Malevolent are just going to make it better… for themselves.

Iron Hands because the world sucks, everything sucks, you suck, you all suck, those guardsmen sucked so they killed them for sucking so hard, flesh sucks so they removed it with cyborg bits, you all suck.

Allow orks to take def dreads in squads of 3 like sm.

Give orks not shitty formations that allow for more infiltrating/outflank/ds with charging on the same turn they arrive.

Give orks army wide rule which allows reroll of all failed to hit rolls for one turn per game.

I'm almost done with the Edge Lords omnibus, my first warhammer novel (s).

I was wondering if anyone could recommend what to read next considering I really enjoyed the Night Lords.

Rate my Ork buff.

>Roll two dice on your turn. The result determines how many ork models you should remove from the game. Orks always want to fight something and sometimes they just kill each other for fun.

God, this is so boring. It doesn't help there's stuff from more than just a couple books to find.

>2d6
>Not 3d6

Do you even GW?

sites.google.com/site/wh40000rules/
use it motherfucker

Officio Assassinorum, Adeptes Custodes or SoS

So with cadia dead and the meme being that a new guard army will become the post boy what do you guys think of a cadian special squad, something like this

Veteran of cadia
>vet statline
>PE:chaos
>till the last man: veterans of cadia do not take moral tests when their squad size is below 50%

Turn cadia from the vanilla guard to an anti chaos special unit

Why just remove models when you could slow down the game more with random allocated hits with random strenght and random ap?

Hot-shot lasguns become Assault 2

Sergeants can take HS lasguns

Ten-man squads can take three special weapons

Base Ld increased to 8, 9 for Tempestors, 10 for Tempestor Prime (they're from the same schools as Sisters and Commissars...but Ld 7?)

Make Tempestor Prime roughly equivilent to a Lord Commissar

Unit gets Precision Shots like Skitarii Rangers

Or just take a (big) chunk out of their points cost. Plus their weapon upgrades are ludicrously expensive.

This is probably accurate because rise of the primarch mentions how the custodes are so painfully woke they just ignore most of the Galaxy shattering things they hear

>it also has a slight implication they can understand binary, which is pretty cool unless it was an authors mistake

You could cut points by making deep strike a payable upgrade instead of including it in the base cost.

Well, it's not Edge Lords, but if you'd like to see what it's like going Full Chaos, then check out Anthony Reynold's Word Bearers Omnibus. Wonderful read.

They're all over 10k years old so probably enough time to learn a language used on their planet.

Probably the SoS.

When various Imperials file past the Emperor on the Golden Throne in Master of Mankind, everyone sees different shit from a huge golden demi-god, a shining human figure of pure light or a glorious machine-god etc etc

Sisters just saw an ordinary looking man in immense pain due to their null aura.

I know, I have it open, but stuff from like Fall of Cadia (Celestine rules) and Imperial Agents are something I would have to dig around for.

Storm of Iron is good. It's about Iron Warriors besieging an Imperial fortress, with equal screen time for both sides. Good back and forth combat.

ADB (the author you're currently reading) is usually pretty good, though his 30k novels are more polarizing.

A lot of people love the Gaunt's Ghosts books. They're about a light infantry/scouting Imperial Guard regiment. Personally I find the books to be hit and miss, but even I can admit that the better ones are worth reading the lesser ones to get to. Good action, characters, and plots. Usually.

I love the Ciaphas Cain series, though they do tend to follow roughly the same plot for each book. With that in mind, I wouldn't suggest binge reading the whole series.
They're about as far away from the Night Lords books as you can get, however, since they're rather comedic and light-hearted. If you've ever seen Blackadder Season 4, it's a lot like that. But mixed with Flashman.
It's funny, has good characters, an interesting narrative (that tends to get repeated), and is great light reading.

The William King Space Wolf novels are great if you're looking for a swashbuckling adventure.

The best Black Library novels I've read are actually from Warhammer Fantasy: The Ambassador and Ursun's Teeth.
They're legitimately good novels, not just "good for warhammer."

Stay the fuck away from Jonathan Green, the author or Iron Hands. Worst published book I've ever read. Even CS Goto is better.

You can't "learn" binary, it takes specialist implants or a translator device of some kind. My bet is that they have the latter in their armour, since they're meant to be able to protect from subterfuge as well as outright battle, and it's ceratinly fancy enough.

oh, sorry

...or not, nevermind, FoC is there, as well as SoB codex.

Wouldn't surprise me, the Emperor would know it and since he needed to ally with the Martians, making sure his bodyguards know their supa-sekret language would make sense.

I meant more that they would've found the time to come up with a solution like you mentioned. Whether it's in their armor or a device they have with them or whatever. They've had a long ass time to get any new toys they might need if they didn't already have them

Path of the Dark Eldar is equally edgy in terms of the characters it follows, and pretty well done by Black Library standards.

>You could cut points by making deep strike a payable upgrade

We have that option already, it's called Veterans.

Reminder that until Orks get a decent fluff update they're not getting any decent in game updates.

in the next lines he gets his shit together and crusades to terra to save the imperium.

Like said you can't just learn it like a language, it's thousands of 1s and 0s a second if not more, they would have to have special translators or implants

What's fluffy for Blood Axes other than Kommandos?

>Decent fluff
>For an NPC race

Gun lines.

Paint them purple because purple iz sneeky

>they would have to have special translators or implants

And? They're the Custodes, if they need a DAoT translator implant to crack Martian codes, they get a DAoT translator implant.

If they released new models without the stupid gorilla posture, I'd build an army of Ork jungle fighters in an instant.

If you want to watch the Edge Lords get BTFO (and also kill a lot of loyalists) then the Rid Tithe book was alright, fairly short, and featured them as the main antagonists.

Wait the Emperor is in constant pain around sisters? I figured he'd be too swoll psychically to even mind them, hell didn't malcador use his powers around a group of them seemingly effortlessly or was that imperial propaganda?

>not using the current metal ones

Nigger they're literally some of the best looking ork models ever released.

can regular space wolves use the relics in the supplement champions of fenris?

I think it means the sisters see him for what he really looks like because they are immun to his psychic aura (or something like that)

and that fucking burna boy

A guy I met (and had a fun game with) at my local GW gave me is spare Voldus sprue.

I wasn't prepared

How should I thank him

Bumpin'

No, he was in pain keeping the Imperial Webway sealed via the Golden Throne after Magnus fucked it up.

those are fiiiine

but they are so expensive.

Based gimp ork

Stormboyz, they're organized, young, and rebellious Orks who're likely to grow up into Kommandos.

Dunno what else though, I don't play Orks.

Just give him a friendly blowjob next time you see him.

>b-but Magnus dindu nuffin and he's gonna turn loyalist again because TTS is canon!!

>Metal
>Monopose
>In a horde army

Just no.

They're finecast now.

kek

green stuff to conceal it a little?

Sorry, I wrote that in a retarded way.

He wasn't in pain because of their null aura, their null aura allowed them to see him as he actually is, since they weren't effected by his psychic glamour.

He was in pain because the four gods of Chaos and their collective legions were trying to gain entry to the Imperial dungeons via the massive goatse reference Magnus had turned the Imperial webway project into with his """"warning""""".

Well, there's always the Forgeworld conversion kit, but personally, I think they look fucking awful

If you make it a champions of Fenris "detachment" then yes
I'm not any where near the book rigjt now so I'm not sure if they have access to both sets though

Are Orks and Nids shitty in general or are they catching up other factions in alternate game formats like kill team or small-point games?

Those look like shitty third party "space orc special forces"

Still metal.

New Ork plastics and I'd play them immediately, regardless of how shitty their codex is.

I'd paint and convert the whole lot to be every 'Nam cliche I could think of.

But I refuse to deal with metals or fineshit anymore.

I just hope they don't turn Orks in the heavily-armoured shit Age of Sigmar currently has.

I'm trying to build up an IF army, and want to reuse as many models as I can as I do so.

I made a progressive collection of army lists from 1000 to 1500 to 2000 here : m.imgur.com/a/H1at0

What do you guys think? In the 1000 list (pic related), I could swap out the devastators for a dreadnought but I'm not sure.

they are doing kinda better in KT.
And, boyz are less shit the less points the game is played at

thats what im wondering. do i have to use that detachment?

i assume YES since orks cant grab stuff from the supplement in regular armies but thats orks.

So Big boss in his prime is put in a 10 ft circle with a catachan, both armed with a standard combat knife, who comes out on top?

Alternate formats and other GW games...they're fine. I know orks are like space marines in blood bowl and the hor kill team everybody uses has them fairly well balanced. Waiting to see what sw Armageddon does to them.

In 40k...over costing and underperforming in the current meta is the big problem right now so a lot of tables I play on just give them 10-25% more points to add to their lists.

Sly Marbo

Nids aren't as shit as people say they are. Granted you have to cheese out a flying circus to make them work so they only have 1 viable list but they at least are playable.

Orks on the other hand are unplayable regardless of the format. Even going on extra dickery lenghts like abusing grots size to make them untargetable behind an ADL won't save you from a massive ass beating as an ork player.

Maybe 8th edition will change something about that if they touch how moral and close combat work but for now it's just a dead faction at this point.

God I remember painting those, they had an astounding amount off small and funny details hidden on them. For example the nob has a dent on his left metal boot, as well as a hole in the bottom of his gun holster, implying he shot himself in the foot because he forgot to put the safety on his slugga.
The sculptor did a fantastic job.

It's the retarded gorilla pose that ruins it for me.

My favourite depictions of Orks is from Deff Skwadron, where they're broad and their shoulders are hunched, but still stand upright without the stupid twerking pose.

Big ears are a plus for me too, gives their faces more character beyond GIANT TUSKS and reminds me of Gremlins, which fits their fluff well.

Basically I love the Snikrot model; and want the entire Ork range to look more like that.

My design document for a new Ork codex and model range would basically be Deff Skwadron + Kommandos.

>picture
>big boss

>the safety
>on his slugga.
>implying

is there a scan of deff skwadron out there?

i havent found one.

Snikrot has a compass on his choppa. Huh.

I would love some new Ork Boyz. The Nob models are great so I know they can make them if they want to.

They just choose to spit in my face.

>the nob has a dent on his left metal boot, as well as a hole in the bottom of his gun holster, implying he shot himself in the foot

Holy shit, I had to actually look at my model, to confirm this. This is fucking amazing.

And yeah, I agree the guy did a great job, it has to be one of my favourite models.

Did Guilliman really say that?

Everything about that model is done just right.

The Power Klaw, the pose, the stupid grot, the goggles...

Fuck it im buying one.

Shh user don't tell him

>i havent found one.

>Google 'Deff Skwadron'
>First result

Open wide for the aeroplane!

>cold-moon.com/40k/Deff Skwadron/deff_skwadron.htm

im retarded. i just checked the mega.

thanks user.

Well, shit. My 3rd and 4th pick are Tau and Necrons so maybe I should stick with one of them. I'm not a WAACfag but making my first steps into hobby with factions nerfed this hard would be pretty disheartening I think

see

Necrons are not broken compared to the current meta and they are underwhelming without the decurion so they wouldn't be too bad of an army

Tau gets a lot of hate but their standard gunline shenanigans is good but not OP, they just have a few builds that make them retardedly broken

Of course not, this is what he really said.

If you really wanted to go for Tyranids, you could try genestealer cults.

I want to have some fun with running a small army in KT and 500pts games and maybe 1000pts some day but probably nothing bigger so I'm not even thinking about breaking the game
I don't really like GSC aesthetic to be honest. The best part of Nids is their dino-alien-bug look
