Ok /40kg/, I will reiterate your mission parameters:
Expand the Orks, Tau and Necrons and Tyranids into their own alliances ! You may add races, retcons may happen but must preserve the current demeanor of the faction.
Are you a bad enough dude to do that?
Daniel Murphy
Page 7 new thread, purty gud.
John Lopez
Orkanid boyz after I retcon Armageddon.
That one Tau chick becomes canon and closes the warp.
Eli Turner
Obviously Tau should just expand to have all their subjugated races.
Tyler Howard
What is your favourite game format? How many points is just perfect for you?
Nolan Hill
1500pts. Killteam is fun too.
Adam Thompson
The Tyranid alliance obviously should have zoats. And also treat each hive fleet like a traitor legion with it's own bonuses and different decurion style detachment.
Luis Reed
1,500 points, any Eternal War mission with the Vanguard Deployment mode removed from game is my bread and butter.
> Tau Tau Empire- Stock book Enclaves- Battlesuit spam, more aggressive Kroot- Light infantry, Knarlocs, Battle of Kashyyyk style Alien Auxiliaries- Imperial Agents book. Tarellian Dog Soldiers, Vespid & Queen, Nicassar, go full-on Covenant
Josiah Richardson
>Orks General Ork Codex Klans now have their own fluff and codices/supplement (Snakebites and Evil Sunz get the major focus, read: Squiggoth spam army and robot army) Deep and convulted storyline how Evil Sunz change their red faction color to orange (orange makes their machines more powerful) and the Speed Freekz get pissed off and fuck off from the klan Gretchin codex New race: Space Ogres/Rogue Ogryns codex
>Necrons C'tan (Vampire Cunts in Space and revenge-seeking rivals with their oldcrons against the Newcrons) Trazyn supplement Tomb Spider and Necron Machinery Codex Probably Dynasties getting their own supplements
>Tyranids Main Tyranid Codex (Posterboys are a new Hivefleet that has a Hive Tyrant being able to communicate and give heavy bantz to Orks) Genestealer Cult Zoans get reintroduced into the main nid army and get their own codex Lictor and their alternate versions codex Popular Hivefleets get their own supplements
>Tau Tau Empire Farsight Conclave Melee Tau Codex based around the third pupil Kroot Codex Alien Auxilaries (Vespids, Demiurgs etc. you can field them as an army or as allies)
Jason Wright
How would triarchs differ from tomb worlds?
Wyatt Johnson
Orks need more Grot options.
Josiah Butler
>Orks need more Grot options Grots need to be removed tho
Dominic Brown
Thinking about running this with the Vostroyan Firstborn models. I wish we got regimental rules for the IG. Yeah, they should make grot tanks as plastic models.
Lucas Perez
Gets you the Silent King, for one. I thought we were splitting the books into hundreds of sub-factions like AoS.
Could spin a few units out of it. Some kind of TEq. Maybe a monstrous statue.
Jose Taylor
Triarchs never went to sleep and had millions of years to do their own thing while preserving Necrontyr history and stuff. Expect cooler and rarer toys maybe.
Oliver Ward
Rate it boys. I've had pretty good luck with it so far. The libarians use magic to swooce Bobby up the board, and then the Vanguards tie everyone down until he can charge.
Kayden Anderson
Would not play against/10
Brandon James
>I thought we were splitting the books into hundreds of sub-factions like AoS. The idea was to introduce side factions and give (mini) codices to stuff from the lore to bolster the alliances.

Do your friends know that they play with a saloon cheat?

Can somebody share Dente book?
Isaac Green
>Alliances aren't a joke anymore but a very real possibility
feels bad man
Bentley Jenkins
>1 point over >literally has wargear choices worth 1 point what a faggot, look at him and laugh
Oliver Green
I like the basic idea. We ran a map campaign with Imperial factions vs Eldar flavors and it was fun as fuck, would be cool to be able do that with an actually interesting Xenos alliance.
Ayden Watson
500 points for stuff like the 40k version of triumph and treachery, 1,000 for most standard missions. My small group will play stuff like Zone Mortalis or specific FW campaign missions if I organise it.
Charles Adams
Continued from last thread. On our turn I managed to get a lucky Misfortune off and Abaddon and his bodyguard and a Wyvern/ Guardsman were enough to get him down to one wound from some lucky lasgun salvos'. And one of my Russes wiped out some bikers with a battle cannon hit. And Chimeras plus Punisher Pask and some other fire managed to kill some Raptors. And my Rough Riders simul killed some more Raptors in the assault phase too.

Chaos lord after his unit of Raptors was obliterated in combat.
Mason Clark
The Tau book is pointless. Everyone would take the Enclaves.
Sebastian Scott
Do you have any better pics of the Chaos Lord? The conversion from the new BA chaplain seems like a cool idea.
Gabriel Ortiz
Well, I like "pure" Tau lore-wise more
Hudson Rogers
Replace those two sentinels by a pair of Wyverns and you have a pretty decent list.
Christian Murphy
>Different hive fleets >Not a brand new type of nid based on them absorbing some weird xenos That said if Cult of The Dragon were real i would totally play it.
Owen Diaz
I'll remember that when my opponent rapes me, but I'm gonna try for the Sentinels because I really love the models.
Ethan Hernandez
>Renegades & Heretics >Dark Adeptus
As much as I want this, stop. Will never ever happen. Especially since we'll lose the Renegades with 8th edition.
Cooper Smith
Well maybe if it was a trade-off to take FE instead of just being better formations, all relics, crisis troops and mandatory bondage knives.
Mason Diaz
Orks get a supplement for every Klan equally. Blood Axes and Freebootas count as being part of every alliance but Tyranids, and cannot be taken in forces with Chaos Daemons.
Just give Tau auxiliaries already. Seriously. Do it.
Necron Dynasties are given supplements like the Orks.
Tyranids and Genestealers.
Ayden Martinez
Reminder that anyone who says Orks should use Boys should be reported and ignored.
Sebastian Ross
They both took Raptor formations that let them Assault out of deepstrike. They also took a Posessed formation as they came in turn two right in front of the Guard lines. They tried sending some more lascannons at my Shadowsword with no successs. One of their Heldrakes came in as well and flamed some Guardsman as well but not much happened in shooting They charged the Possessed and Warp Talons into my main Guard blob. The first unit killed enough to be disengaged from combat and the second one sadly wiped the Guardsmen out to the last man. They also charged terminators into conscripts which somehow managed to hold the line.
Elijah Collins
Best I got user.
Elijah Russell
I used to have friends that played 40k, but they all quit. Now i've noone to game with. How do you guys suggest i convince/force/trick/blackmail my friends into getting back into the hobby?
Justin Howard
...
Ryan Torres
We hold the line to our last breath.
Carson Powell
Whats the best anti tank leman russ? Whats the best all around good leman russ?
William Wood
Do you live near a GW or an LGS?
Lucas Martin
Damn OPs pic really brings me back. I remember loving those mini on kolfers old 40k site
Kevin Ross
Whe have they left? What are they playing right now?
Gabriel King
Damn, looks cool from what I can tell. The wings might make him a cool Raptor Tzeentch Lord.
Adrian Perry
Best AT russ: Exterminator Best allrounder: Eradicator
Brody Morris
Just buy it user or wait a few months
David Rodriguez
About 45 minutes away. How are the crowds generally at LGS and GW stores usually? Are they feiendly to newcomers/newbs to the game?
Matthew Ward
Vanquisher is probably best anti-tank and Executioner is probably the best all around one.
Jaxon Ward
Nobz only, then?
Oliver Hill
>GW has gotten less retarded >Custodes and skits aria, everybody loves those
Eli Fisher
Used to play orks/nids/guards respectively but one passed away and everyomlne stopped playing basically
Henry Roberts
Eradication Ray or Volkite for Admech Dominus? Also best forge world knight for Admech?
Nathan Phillips
I want to run a Victrix Strike Force at 1500 points, what auxiliary should I use?
Wyatt Morgan
Oh as in what games are they playing? Wasting hours and hours infront of MMOs basically lol. Im getting tired and burnt out on vidya and now want to do some tabletop games but they refuse
Nathan Rodriguez
Oh, I'm sorry then. Well, you can tell them that 8e is coming, be open to house-rules so playing orks and nids would be a little more appealing, suggest starting new armies but on budget, you know - I have dragged my firends into ___AoS___ by playing 500pts group. We had a great time painting our little armies, trying new stuff etc. Just make them newbies again - the first steps into hobby was the best time for me
Carter Ross
Ease them in with tabletop simulator, that's what I've been doing (it's working).
Asher Ortiz
Might have to wait till 8th to sway em because orcs and nids suck rightnow.
Jose Williams
Has the Adeptus Custodes Codex been uploaded yet?
Levi Long
Yeah maybe he could introduce them to HoR kill team? Very small games, could use their existing armies to create multiple lists for it pretty easily and it could encourage them to try out new armies. Its not perfectly balanced but its better than GW.
Adam Robinson
You will never be this happy. :(
Christian Jenkins
Exterminator with multimeltas and lascannon. Vanquisher with the same extras is good too.
Pask in a Punisher with those same extras is the best against everything.
Exterminator and Executioner are your best bet for most well rounded. Exterminator with plasma cannons or heavy bolters is good against anything. Executioner with plasma cannons and lascanno is amazing anti infantry and anti Mc. It's also decent against vehicles because you have a lot of shots and ap2. It's very expensive though.
Eradicator is your best budget tank that is still good against a lot of things. Plus it takes away re rollable bike jinks.

> New guy shows up at my shop >Only plays the cheesiest shit like barkstar, smashfucker, and over cheesed Tau and Eldar builds >Is baffled why no one wants to play with him >Somehow has a GF that refuses to play with male minis, will only play girls ala Sisters of either kind >Never paints his minis, his GF does that for him
How do I explain to him that he's being a cunt, and that for most players it's just about enjoying the game and hobby, not just about winning?
Landon Watson
Those faces don't look very nurgle-y to me. I mean, apart from the smile.
Wyatt Garcia
make sure he gets no games until he starts playing none WAAC lists.
Gavin Harris
Our turn two all of my Scions came in and one Vendetta came in too. Melta Scions wiped out a Land Raider and my other Scions wiped out a few Warp Talons and CSM. Abaddon also got VANQUISHED by my tank commander and a Chimera and regular battle tank popped a Rhino. My ally's Devil Dogs killed a Land Raider and his veterans charged and killed another Rhino. And my Shadowsword couldn't shoot It's main gun so it rammed a Land Raider but it wouldn't get a flipped result (till later). A Hellturkey also got blown out of the air too.
Aiden Jackson
...
Josiah Edwards
Without hull/sponson weapons best AT is Vanquisher if you use FW or Divination psykers, Demolisher if not. All around best is the Exterminator, I wish you could take hull/sponson Autocannons for maximum S7 shooting.
Hudson Rogers
And I'm still surprised why everyone always takes the bait and charge the Guardsmen instead of the tanks but my Conscripts were able to hold and kill a few Terminators too in combat.
Nathaniel Young
>Never paints his minis, his GF does that for him
Why did he even bother ? Paint is a huge part of the fun when you do hobby.

Connor Kelly
Im torn between atrapos or acheron but leaning toward atrapos for pure fuckery. Also i guess volkite is better since i havent heard that great things from eradication ray
Brayden Nelson
I like modeling, playing, socializing, reading fluff, but hate painting. Am I having wrong-bad fun too?
Zachary Harris
Is that an egg or a hood?
Chase Sanchez
Depends, are you a WAAC fag ?
Nathaniel Torres
My Veterans hunting down and killing a Chaos lord
Ayden Watson
Eradication Ray. The Volkite's a cool nod back to 30k, but it's not all that great. The Macropistol gives your Dominus decent anti-infantry fire anyway.
Parker Williams
Daily reminder: Play to the mission and crush puss.
Eli Anderson
>diggaz oh god, yes
Robert Edwards
First for Female marines!
It's 2017 and 8th edition already, make it happen GW. Don't be known as the Drumpf of table top.
Aaron Hill
I am similar. Painting is my least liked part of this hobby. I still do it though. I have most of my army painted even though it's all very eh
Chase Reed
Ill tell you what tank ISNT the best AT.
The vanquisher. Single-shot and BS 3 is hilariously shit.
Carson Jones
What if winning is how he enjoys the hobby?
Michael Brooks
On their turn three another Helldick came in and a Raptor squad mishapped and killed itself after deepstriking in. A Lord of Change also popped up and mulched some of my ally's Guardsmen as well. They also managed to get my Shadowsword down to two hullpoints with pyschic powers but all of their Heretek powers combined were unable to stop it. They managed to kill a Leman Russ with Havocs but most of their success came in combat.
Bentley Jackson
Then he should try a list people might actually want to play against
Easton Smith
Fuck off
