Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

well, he's practicing for Canhammer, which is why I'm going 1850 despite not really having a proper army for it.

What should I cut for the dark artisan formation, would you say?

Only if it was made by someone else.

Since I brought it up a couple of thread ago, here is a spread sheet comparing the average wounds and wound to point efficency of Regular Chaos Space marines and Rubric Marines. It also compares the same stats for an individual Rubric Marine and Chaos Space Marine.

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12DRQKyYOErHV4pd1no3J4coUP8NtSENykRPkaTenAf4/edit?usp=sharing

As we can see the rubrics are mathematically inferior in most situations, and even the ones where they aren't there isn't a very large difference. This is far less true in the individual instances, indicating that the Aspiring Sorcerer is the biggest offender here.

Please take your autism somewhere relevant.

This place seems pretty damn autistic to me.

not this autistic

Please help

Expensive though he is, he's coated appropriate for what he is and there's literally no reason to take Rubrics if they didn't come with the Sorcerer

If the Aspiring Sorcerer was a free upgrade in the unit, they'd be much better.

Slaanesh is best~

Shame. I've always loved the Thousand Sons and was thinking of putting together a coven of Sorcerers with rubric marines. Without Magnus are they doomed? I know I'm not good enough to paint him yet.

You havent defined what a 'full' unit is, and how they damage av 14

>if i got a free lvl 1 psyker with a stock force weapon, this unit would be better
uh huh, thanks for that insight

If they got free weapon upgrades and a Webway portal free on the Sorcerer they'd be better too

So everyone has talked about Thousand Sons being overcosted for AP3, but how would they fare against Necrons or Tau? The Invuln saves make them durable against weapons that would otherwise double them out while Psychic powers allow for versatile playstyle against scary units like Riptides or Wraiths. What does tg think?

There's no need for the lord and the sorceror. Drop one of them to buff up your other units.
Even though your marines are infiltrating, they might still need Rhinos.

He might be worth it if you could roll on any discipline, but as long as he has to roll his one spell on Tzeentch he won't be.
For starters, two of the powers he can get (siphon magic and boon of mutation) are dead draws for the sorcerer meaning you will be left casting a primaris that is on average worse than a 12pt havoc launcher.
Breath of Chaos, Baleful Devolution and Treason of Tzeentch are all good powers, but their high WC cost and the Aspiring Sorcerer's inability to take a spell familiar makes casting these powers too inefficient and unreliable and generally you'd be better of using your WC dice on an HQ outside of specific scenarios.
Doombolt is the only reliable, good and efficient power at your disposal.

Also if we compare him to the Scarab Occult Sorcerer, for 32 points over the Aspiring Sorcerer, you get an extra wound, an extra mastery level an additional point in WS and Terminator Armour, and a lot of people consider him to only be okay.

Yes I have, go read the comments.
If you're wondering it's a Soul Reaper cannon that is capable of hurting AV14.

I need the lord for the Warband formation, to get the Alpha legion formation buffs.

Most people only use them as batteries for WC though and just use the HQs for spells.

As long as Chaos is required to take Veteran Sergeants and as long as a Mastery Level = 25pts the issue will persist.

The fact that they are closely linked to Tzeentch Daemons doesn't help mind, considering how good value they are for WC

>while Psychic powers allow for versatile playstyle
Again that would be true if the Sorcerer wasn't forced to roll on Tzeentch where 1/3 of the powers are dead draws for the Sorcerer and the primaris is the second worst witchfire in the game.

Also they may be good against AP3 and better weapons, but they still die exactly as easily to AP4 and worse weapons as regular marines.
And both Necrons and Tau have shitloads of weapons with high strength and poor ap that point for point fare incredibly well against rubrics.

They're also shit batteries though, if used as such and assuming that 1 WC = 25pts you're still looking at a 32 point useless lump that only contributes another wound to the unit.
This isn't a problem for the Scarab Occult sorcerer though, he's only 90 points for what would normally cost 125 if you bought it as an HQ.

Can't wait to play another game of 40k with my Sisters this weekend.
I've managed to increase my army size by 500 points every game now, although this weekend I'll be adding an Inquisitor and his retinue to my army, but they used to be in the same army anyway right?
Has anyone used an Inquisitor with a daemon weapon? It looks like it might be really fun.

>32 point useless lump
Those 32 points get you a 10 point Sarge Upgrade, ~15pt force weapon, and a Thousand Son body to put it on. It's the Rubrics themselves that need to be decreased in cost

Solid! I'm looking forward to a game with my Imperial Fists this weekend.

dammit kitten

>regimental-standard.com/2017/03/22/fighting-alongside-the-guard-literally/

10 point sarge uppgrades are fucking retarded, especially when the entire unit is already fearless and when not all armies or units even have to pay for them.

The force weapon is also mostly useless since if you get the unit into melee you've already fucked up.

If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device is real ?

i see wot u did there geedubs

>Don’t address them by name! The Adeptus Custodes have notoriously long and complex names, and any attempt to address them as such is not appropriate for battlefield deployment*. ‘My Lord’, or ‘Sir’ will suffice.

how i fucking miss the old monty python sketches

im still pissed that i lost my Flying circus PC copy to the fucking termites

My local group wants to run an 1850pt tourney and I am going to baptize my new Tau army in the fires of WAAC fags.

Except I don't intend to play my Tau as a WAAC shitfest. Just a Ranged Support Cadre of barebones Pathfinders and Broadsides, attached to a Hunter Contingent of two Hammerheads with railguns, a Fire Warrior gunline behind an Aegis Defence Line, two Piranhas, two deep-striking two-man double fusion blaster Crisis Teams and a marker-drone wrapped Commander with Iridium Armour in a squad of Crisis suits with plasma rifles.

No Riptides, no Ghostkeels, no ass-rape formations. Final destination.

How do Empyric storms work?

I play fantasy but now have this unstoppable craving to start a Sisters of battle army

Who all can field Custodes?
Just spesss mehreens? or any imperial army

Book's not out yet

Custodes are their own army, you bring them as an allied detachment.

>squatted game player wants to play soon to be squatted faction
kek

If you actually want feedback then stop posting this astoundingly shitty format.

who designed the piece that connects celestine to the base? I lined it up properly on the cloak but for some reason she's still leaning off to one side.

my problem exactly

You'll be ok. Just surrender your wallet to me, and I'll start my sisters of battle army.

>games-workshop.com/en-US/Battle-Sisters-Squad

1 box of 10 monopose metal sisters 1 Melta 1 storm bolter and no other heavy weapons...80 murican dollars. Convert that to loonies dollarydoos euros or whatever local currency you favor and you'll lose interest.

wait for the summer, they're coming in plastic

I doubt the cucks at GW will squat SoB, their last model was from 2004 while the bulk was from 1997.

In over a decade they didn't got squat and today they have one questionable useful Super special character and a Not a SoB, SoB with Healthy at every size meme attachted to it.

For SoB players this just suck, since it will be the only SoB crap they will have for the next 10 years.

You get a Sister Superior too.

You'll see soon enough

You just delayed them by another year.

>that pic

T-that's really sad.

>le age of emperor maymay

>mon cheri
That's no Sister, user

>that's the joke

Political Correct GW is coming and there is nothing we can do about it.

Reminder: Eldar are the most powerful race in the galaxy.

I don't get it

Nah, but they'll probably use SoB as a way to deflect criticism from SJW goons

Come back when your male look just as good a your female

Can I have 2 Shield-cpt in a 10 man squad Custodian ?

>posting a wakfu cosplay while saying that
wat.

You ignore, report and/or shitpost back so he can have the (you) and move along with your life.

spotted the autismo who gets mad at unpainted minis on the table

Wut?

See, this guy gets it.

I thought you couldn't make a vehicle one of your specialists

I'm counting on GW being spooked by SJW outrage
Doubt they'd be man enough to squat the only female range aside from eldar

Check my weebshit. More or less wanna cross a Wraithknight with an Imperial Knight.

Evangelion 300 Points Gargantuan Creature
WS4 BS4 S10 T8 W6 I4 A4 Ld8 Sv3+/4++

Wargear:
Pallet Rifle (36" S7 AP4 Heavy 3)
M7 Handcannon (12" S7 AP3 Pistol)
Progressive Knife (S: User, Rending, Progressive, Melee)

May replace Progressive Knife with:
Core Knife - Free
Progressive Sword (S:D, Progressive, Melee, Two-handed) - 30pts

May replace Pallet Rifle with:
Heavy Railgun (48" S:D AP1 Heavy 1, Anchored) - Free
Positron Rifle (36" S8 AP2 Heavy 2, Lance, Gets Hot) - 15pts
Gatling Gun (36" S7 AP4, Heavy 6, Rending) - 15pts
Anti-Eva Bazooka (48" S10 AP1, Heavy 1, 10" Blast) - 30pts
Siege Maser (48" S:D AP2, Beam) - 50pts

May replace M7 Handcannon with:
Maser Pistol (12" S8 AP2 Lance, Pistol) - 15pts
HELIOS Pistol (12", S10 AP1, Pistol) - 15pts

Special Rules:
AT Field - An Evangelion has a supernatural barrier that seems impossible to defeat; except by other Evangelions. An Evangelion has a 4+ Invulnerable Save and counts as having one Void Shield. In addition, Evangelion models take Deny the Witch tests at 4+.

Progressive: This weapon uses vibration technology to produce a oscillating resonance that is capable of cutting through most targets with relative ease. A Progressive weapon rolls two dice when making rolls to wound and armor penetration rolls and takes the higher result.

How should I post it then, user?

Hell, it's what I'd do in their position. I mean you've got a full female army with a cool aesthetic, and now people are writing articles about how 40k is for white male fascists. Might as well make a big marketing show of re-releasing SoB since most of the current fans want it, it'd help negate some of that bad press, and it just might (unlikely but you never know) draw some new people into the hobby as well.

They just brought in Sisters of Silence though

The thing is we are looking at GW.

The company that kills and revive products while axing and un axing product lines. Then wonder why people are not buying their decade old models that got more expensive with less shit inside. To then release bundle of cheaper models will keeping the insane priceses because they got cucked by the shareholders

In other words GW is retard enough to shoot itself on the foot in the name of sales.

Core Knife: This Progressive weapon is designed to strike true and unleash maximum damage against another overwhelming threat such as an Evangelion. Make attacks as normal, setting aside any rolls to hit of 6 before rolling any armor penetration or wound rolls. On a wound or penetration roll of 6, you may choose to improve the strength of the hit to a Destroyer hit(and rolling twice to take the more favorable result), however all other attacks are forfeit (regardless of additional hits) and the Core Knife is destroyed. No repair rolls can repair a Core Knife. (tl;dr a 6 to hit and a 6 to wound lets you hit once at Strength D but you break your knife)

Heavy Railgun - This massive weapon requires a fixed power source, or setup time. It cannot be fired if the Evangelion moved in the same turn. No manipulation of special rules can modify this penalty.

Berserk: When an Evangelion unit loses more than half its current wounds in one turn, take a leadership test. If failed, the pilot loses control and the Eva goes Berserk, immediately regaining d3 wounds and gaining +1 to its Weapon Skill, initiative, and attacks, as well as Fleet and Rage. All weapons on the Eva are considered to be destroyed(with the exception of a single M7 Handcannon), but while Berserk, resolve close combat attacks at Strength D. A Berserk Eva will always try to advance and attack the nearest enemy unit. A Berserk Eva will always Run, and may charge into combat after making a Run move. If the Eva is able to completely destroy an enemy unit in the Assault Phase, make another leadership test to regain control. If the test succeeds, the Eva no longer berserks, but cannot act on the following turn. An Eva will always fight in close combat regardless of this. An Eva can enter more than one berserk state, and will do so!

Gargantuan Creature (Fear, Fearless, Feel No Pain, Hammer of Wrath, Move Through Cover, Relentless, Smash, Strikedown)

Failsafe Protocols: In the event an Evangelion is destroyed, center a 10" blast over the center of the model before it is removed. All models under the template suffer a hit at Strength D.

Exactly. In the past 6 months they've done Celestine, Veridyan, and SoS (which aren't SoB but have a very similar aesthetic). If you don't think that's a pattern, especially when Veridyan sold wayyyy better than GW was expecting, you're an idiot.

That is so fucking strange. Most of the time it feels like GW is trying to take out FW from the market.

Wonder if the CEO knows FW is part of GW and not some third party company that has the rights to thier shit for some mysterious reasons.

I don't know what to think until 8th edition hits.

It would be GREAT if they axed off Forge World completely.

I would expect a lot of changes coming, with 8th edition and girlyman's resurrection.

I've been waiting for plastic SoB since WH. Along with trench coat plastic IG.

Rumours and wishful thinking means very little at least regarding SoB.

I'm still afraid to death of an Age of the Emperor and my local club dropping 40k.

>While in some ways similar to the mighty Space Marines many of you may have been fortunate enough to witness in action in our last war zone placement, there are many things that set these warriors apart: for instance, they are much shinier.

I fucking love this

Unfortunately every Chaos unit with the exception of PMs pay that tax. Getting an essentially free Force Weapon on top of that actually makes it less so for the Rubric Squad

I don't wish to end playing Warmachine aka 40k with steam robots and deformed beast. It was a good alternative till the fucks started doing Xbox Huge models just like GW.

Thing is though, you've gone 10 years without getting ANYTHING.

Then in just a few months you've gotten a new canoness, a new living saint, and a re-release of the immolator kit. Plus the tangentially related SoS.

They're coming.

You mean like 40k endtimes? Won't ever happen considering how 40k is like 90% of GWs income. Although if you're referring to a re-writing of the rules to be more like AoS, I dunno. It could happen I guess, but I wouldn't worry too much. I don't think they'd change that much without re-launching the property like they did with AoS.

We are talking about GW, the same fucks that suggested me to ask the mail man if he had my parcel.

GW things the world works like a small UK town and their consumer are people from the town that know each other for decades and have beers while playing.

Holy fuck I just checked the web store, an immolator is half the cost of a footsslogging sister squad.

It's 32,50 while a footslogging sister squad is 25-50 euros.

And some how people defend GW priceses.

I'm not saying they should sell them at production cost, but they sure as hell are random as fuck.

I did, but when I make a list using the builder none of the images load.

No
