Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

What auxiliary formations should I use in my Ultramarine Victrix Strike Force? I feel like they all kinda suck and are basically another tax unit.

>he thinks I play Tau
>doesn't realize that I play space wolves with the wulfen death pack formation
haha oh wow

Pedro, his friends, and the devs are all just going to walk around on foot? Pedro is my favorite and i hope he rescues his friend Alesssio one day

The guy I played with is pretty good. He used a Barracuda to counter my Vendettas, and the dice fucked me over when I tried to kill it.

I typically don't run psykers, but I could try.

Nobody is triggered, Carnac, they just want you to shut up because everyone is sick of you shitting up the threads with tau wank.

How to trigger Taufags:

The Tau, while impressive in some aspects, are rather insignificant on a Galactic scale.

That's not Carnac though.

I can't afford a land raider for the honor guard, and I am doubtful putting them in a metal box that won't let them assault.

So yes that was the plan.

I am open to replacing the hguard with something else.

I only have on drop pod, and I am saving gravcents for my anti cheese list which looks like pic related.

That being said, I want to use because it is fluffy and more fun.

Not who you're talking to, but Tau player here, gf plays Daemons.

Main one is that it's expensive, and he likely doesn't have a second. Be ready to blast it on your turn, and try not to cluster things the bomb would want to target.

I meant Interceptors as in "units that shoot at deepstriking enemies". Get an Inquisitor or something, I think they can give it to units.

Disclaimer: I don't actually play Guard, so this is speculation

like clockwork

Last thread somebody said there were no instances of tyranids adapting to tech. They were wrong
Typical dumb taufag scum

Well, that didn't take long.

even worse, a fur fag. nothing like seeing a bunch of wulfen fully PRIMED in black amirite?

Just drop it, already, bugbro. Don't carry arguments into new threads. The more you feed the trolls the more you just make us look bad.

Hey guys dropped 40k back in the 5th edition and now Im coming back to play some orkz
Are orkz still viable for whatev edition or should I just kill myself. Ty for answers

What? I want you to look back in the previous thread and find one post saying that.

Orks are dumpster-fire tier right now, but the entire game is getting completely redone with new rules for everyone in like 2 months, so hold out til then and then we'll let you know if things have changed or you should just save yourself the trouble and hang yourself.

End your life lol

> Are Orks still viable in this edition or should I just kill myself.

I'd put down a tarp, less cleanup for forensics that way.

they aren't competitive, but if u play casual game with friends they are ok; still fun to play them

Let me introduce you to something called Shadow War

Other than being a Nurgle/DG based cultist equivalent like Tzaangors were for Tzeentch/TS armies, what do you guys think the plague zombie-cultist-guy-things will be like on tabletop?

Where does all this bad blood against people who play some army even come from?

I can understand hating Tau players that think Riptides are their Land-Raider-equivalent, but what is the point of insulting Tyranid players or Ork players or Space Marine players that want their Tacticals to be useful outside of a WAAC formation? No one has ever lost because Tacticals or Gaunts are so OP, what the fuck is going on there?

Oh.

Tyranidfags are like WHFBfags. Toxic, bitter, autistic, and pedophiles.

They worship a guy who said that a single marine chapter have conquer the Starcraft sector as the greatest writer ever.

Drop the 3 marines off the Dev squad and get a metal box for the honour guard. You can't assault out of the Rhino, but you can still get across the table faster and better protected. If you think disembarking the turn before charging is telegraphing your intent, slogging it on foot is going to make your intentions even more obvious; at least a Rhino can make a 12" redirect from a feint or change in battle plan if you so desire, rather than relying on the dice gods for good Run rolls.

Thoughts? Wanting to run this at a new players night at my local to show them what real 40k is like.

Except in all the recent threads the Nid players have been arguing using fluff examples while the haters were just shitposting.

Please, Nidfags post outdated fluff and then bitch and whine that their codex sucks

Wrong. You live in a different reality. Tyranidfags try to dismiss every single fluff they don't agree with as "NOT CANON". Fucker, look at the previous thread.

>all this arguing about which faction will "win"
>when Orks have already won

The galaxy is constantly warring and Orks don't have to look hard to get a good fight. They "won" a long time ago (fluffwise)

Fuck, these nidfags either need to stop crying or deepthroat a shotgun barrel.

Orks didn't win. It's confirmed in the Beast series. The Ork have a racial goal to conquer the galaxy and a mysterious purpose programmed in their genes.

They're not competive, but they're still fun.

Yeah, you'll get utterly shit on in 99% of games, but Ork fun is in converting shit and throwing Orks at problems.

>Tyranidfags are like WHFBfags. Toxic, bitter, autistic, and pedophiles.
Literally what

>and then bitch and whine that their codex sucks
which admittedly it does, I can't even run fluffy lists against them without tabling them by turn 3. We moved on to give the Nid players in our group 20% more points to even make the games interesting.

I have, that's what I'm wondering about. And honestly it was a bunch of Nids arguing based on fluff and you few mouthbreathers spewing bullcrap. And I'm honestly curious what the motives of retards like you are, because what's the fucking point of shitposting about Tyranids? Are you just trying to force a meme or something?

>Tyranidfags try to dismiss every single fluff they don't agree with as "NOT CANON".
This isn't unusual for 40K fans in general. Any bit of fluff that contradicts their view is somewhere on the spectrum of bad writing to non-canon, regardless of the (usually abundant) evidence to the contrary.

Veeky Forums I want Stealth Suits. I love their models, but they are so damn expensive points-wise. How do I make them useful without bringing an OSC?

So now that we officially have necromunda kill team rules, Rak'gol when? I would also like to see Hrud make an appearance. Also Kroot.

No, you didn't or you lack reading comprehension. Tyranidfags when confronted with the actual fluff regress back to "IT'S CRUDEX HUUURRR". I want you to Ctrl-F "canon" in that thread. Now fuck off. You either trolling or a total idiot which puts you in line with the rest of Tyranidfags.

It's trait more seen in nidfags here. All over fans accept the lore and move on. Tyranidfags never cease their tantrums.

So, my LGS owner has essentially put me in charge of 40k in the store and wants me to run an escalation/slow grow league. We want to include prizes with each month, even if they're something small like a box of dudes. What's a good way to go about doing this?

I'm thinking a small monthly ($10?) fee to cover the prize and maybe counting total VPs over the course of each month using Maelstrom missions counting d3 VPs as 2 so it's less randomly swingy. To encourage players to play more people, I'd probably limit recorded matches to being 2 per month per opponent. Hell, maybe I could do best average VPs per opponent or something. Idk.

The group is pretty cool, so I'm not worried about cheesemongers, but I want to keep the atomosphere more relaxed. Not sure how to do that. Maybe secondary categories on the report slips with paint jobs, fluffiness, and sportsmanship or something.

Any ideas?

>Any bit of fluff that contradicts their view is somewhere on the spectrum of bad writing to non-canon
This is the natural result of having a view which developed from reading the usually well-written older fluff that is now shit on by newer, much less skilled writers. It's just particularly apparent with Tyranids because they went from being written by writers that loved them to a guy who actively hates them, but they aren't the only race which has suffered from this - even Space Marines have this problem in modern 40k.

Ok, I will try that.

I was going to use the librarian for shriek/telepathy powers. Do you think I should keep him with pedro and the hguard in the rhino?

>All over fans accept the lore and move on.
No, that's just you. Most people disregard bad writing offhand.

My personal setup is a Shas'vre with a Fusion Blaster, Markerlight, and target lock in a small team of 3 with 2 marker drones. You've got 3 markerlights total, Stealth + shrouded for the drones, and the Fusion blaster can fire separately from the burst cannons of the rest of the squad. Further, the Shas'vre can still fire 2 guns.

It isn't an overly specialized squad, but it's good for infiltrating close and marking targets while dishing out some damage.

If you wanted to take it further, you could potentially use a Stealth Team as the bodyguard for a crisis commander, using him as the gun platform and them as a way to give him a great cover save.

Generally, I would say to think of them more like pathfinders. They might not be as efficiently costed, but they have a lot of interesting utility you can give them to support other units.

See what I mean.

Crud who self proclaimed nid lover is made the bad guy in their fantasy world just because he throw fluff that disagrees with ther headcanon.

Just neck yourself, buddy.

How's this?

No ablative wounds for the heavy bolters sucks, but they are the cheapest heavy weapon

>tfw forget image

Ofc an Eldar player would want to rape some newfags and pick up an easy win.

I'm honestly curious if you think people really buy the shit that you spew or if you just do it anyways because you're bored and trolling the general threads is your only real hobby.

Hell, do you even play 40k?

Are marker drones useful in that since units can't use their own markers? I'd take the target lock and fusion blaster for sure, but they just seem like very fragile units for their cost.

See how the Tyranidfag responds with aggression and hostility when proof is presented.

Threads have been on fire today
Tau gets people (shit)posting

Veeky Forums needs IDs

So just shitposting for its own sake, then? Got it.

how the fuck are bikers troops? (and why are they so f***ing cheap?)

The shitposting begins and wnds with the Tyranids. There is one solution. We must remove the Tyranids. Relocate them to AoS where they actually sorta fit.

It really, really does. Or to just IP rangeban whatever shithole carnac is from.

Kinda defeats the point of anonymity.

A win is a win, not my fault they didn't prepare.

It works fine on /pol/

If the rest of my Tau are painted in the Vior'la scheme (white armour over black bodysuit), would mostly pure black Pathfinders and Broadsides look out of place? I'm taking the Ranged Support Cadre which gives Pathfinders shrouded, but having white all over a supposedly camouflaged unit is triggering to me. I'd like them to be a bit different since Pathfinders and Fire Warriors look quite similar, and I'm running some of the Pathfinders behind an Aegis line among the Fire Warriors.

Marker drones are incredibly useful. I make use of them extensively. Even if the Stealth team can't use them, it's only a 3 man squad. That's one fusion shot and a couple burst cannons.

The benefit comes in later, when other things fire on the targets that the stealth team focused on.

Stealth teams also aren't as frail as they seem. Having a 4+ cover save even while standing in the open is quite nice, and if there's basically any cover at all, whether from intervening models, trees, whatever, they shoot up to a 2+ easily. Not only that, but jet pack moves are incredible for protecting you from counter attacks. People really downplay just how great it is sometimes.

If you stuck a commander with a 3 man team with 2 drones, they'd also be majority toughness 4, making them even harder to dislodge.

I will say that the other support systems aren't as good on them. A positional relay or something similar can be thanks to infiltrate, though outside of that there aren't as many great choices.

I do tend to keep my own stealth teams small, though I would say the best way to run a larger squad would be to stick a Commander with them. Have them soak and nullify hits and blast away with burst cannons while he does the real damage with a target lock and BS 5 for whatever guns you want.

The great thing about Tau is that their are a lot of options.

Because has it due to the abundance of trolls, shills, and samefags. Veeky Forums doesn't have those in big numbers.

You could go with a grey color, sort of a granite or similar. That would fit with the white color scheme better and look less strange than pure black. Maybe add some darker grey stripes to make it more camouflaged.

But what if he is in your range.

So basically just pump burst cannon into whatever it is, then mark it?

Having people shitpost on Tyranids constantly Fucking Tyranids, that's like bullying a kid in a wheelchair defeats the purpose of having a discussion though.

Read this thread and last thread.

To keep this 40k related:

What's the most fun custom scenario you ever played?

RIP Shining Spears and Shadow Spectres, the forgotten aspects

The Tyranidfags are the problem itself. They need be forced to be mature.

Yeah, two burst cannons into whatever you want to mark, just for some extra damage, then the markerlights, then a target lock fusion blaster into anything nearby that looks juicy.

That's the idea anyway. Might depend somewhat on your local meta how it works out.

The Vior'La Sept is rather easy to do
Just put some red on the fire cast symbol and the stripes and your done
For your broadside just leave the pauldrons white with some ulthuan grey and roll with it

>He's still shitposting about Tyranids

>What's the most fun custom scenario you ever played?
A convoy scenario where our Guard Player had to escort Baneblades without main weaponry across a 12 ft table while everybody else tried to kill them.

Because Eldar

How do I make an army for apocalypse?

Burn your wallet.

The answer is Windraiders

My group is gonna have an 8k vs. 8k Apocalyptic game next weekend and I should try to make up 4k for my side. I think I have the models but do I need to know any extra rules?

>Have lots of models.
>Sell a kidney
>Bring stupid amounts of AT for all the super heavies
>Bring a sleeping bag for when you're waiting for your turn

As far as I'm aware the only difference is different markers for apoc mega blasts and barrages.

Bitch to the tau player until he only brings unbound army of only shield drones.

I'll take one for the team, gladly. I don't post on here that often anyways.

>unbound army of shield drones
would this be better or worse against guardsmen/boys/conscipts in melee?
I mean T4, I4 and a 4+ save must make them not that bad at melee against those units right?

Because Tyranid players are easy to troll and they are the most butthurt if GW ever decides to revamp the lore of their army.

>use fluff example
>ignore new fluff and call them "non-canon"
Nidfags, please.

coteaz
reserve a russ with battle cannon and hope it comes afterwards
spread out your russ have 72 inch and insta-ded a crisis. crisis need to be in 9' fusion melta range+.
invest in an aegis defence line

To make armies of similar size/strength
What factions cost more? And which factions cost less?
