Ogryn and Bullgryn a cute. Has anyone ever used Nork before?
Oliver Clark
Brothers, let us begin our crusade against the dolphin menace. These vile creatures must be Slaaneshi in origin, there is no other explanation for their vile behavior.
Daniel Garcia
No, but he's next on my shopping list because My Little Commissar keeps dying to the vindicare my friend ALWAYS RUNS.
Christian Ward
The best way for someone else new with a $200 budget to start Guard is with two Start Collecting boxes. Waacfag don't reply plz.
James Jones
We've been over this, they're dedicated to Slaanesh, Japan has fallen to Khorne, and we're going to sit here patiently and watch them duke it out. Personally I like it here in Britain, where Tzeentch reigns.
Nathan Martinez
that is the single saddest table I have ever seen or probably will see
me and my buddy's first game was less sad, and we used a tiny table with hot sauce for terrain and objectives
Samuel Morris
I just built a model for him and I'm excited to run him. I want to run him with Straken, but that's an expensive ass squad. I'm also considering running the Commander with something simple like a Power Fist or maybe even a Deathmask.
Wyatt Hill
You'd think with the smaller number of models, it'd be easier to get around to painting them.
Ian Sanders
Running anything other than a CAD is the height of WAAC faggotry, you cannot prove me wrong.
Landon Green
Eh maybe. You're likely better off getting 2 Armored Fists and the Start Collecting. Chimeras are neato af.
Jackson Carter
I'd almost want to say they're playing an older edition that had area terrain rules instead of True Line of Sight, which would make it slightly less bad, but that seems unlikely
Daniel Johnson
The joke is, it's the wikipedia entry for 40k.
Xavier Moore
Xnth for unpainted Tau
Matthew Rodriguez
HEY FAGGOTS
RECOMMEND ME A CITY TERRAIN SET THAT LOOKS GOOD AND IS FUNCTIONAL, MONEY IS NOT EXACTLY AN OBJECT BUT A GOOD DEAL IS APPRECIATED
IN RETURN HERE IS MY AUTISTICLY YUGE WAAGH THAT I AM CURRENTLY PAINTING
Dylan Ross
At least the tau player got to priming his models. It's a start at least.
Blake Morris
Good thing that gets you a usable cad
I'd also accept this but it cuts into your paint budget
Christopher Bell
Cool collection but I would maybe put some of that money towards a better camera.
Ryan Diaz
The GW terrain's pretty nice tbqh.
Chase Baker
That is correct though the formation in the box uses exactly one infantry squad outside of a platoon to give them a 4+ cover when within 6" of the Russ. Pretty swanky actually.
Kevin Long
Depends. I've toyed with the idea of a thematic airship based Raven Guard list using formations like the Bladewing Assault Brotherhood and Ravenhawk Assault Group. This would not be possible with a CAD as I would have to bring scout as tax and slightly deviate from the theme.
Ryan Price
Will we ever know the actual story behind the Legion Alpha?
Sebastian Torres
For the user just collecting Guard here's my advice.
I think 1 Armored Fist and 1 Start collecting is a good start, so you will have enough for paint and brushes and stuff.
You can break it down like this
- Commissar Lord HQ - 10 men for a Vet squad in the Chimera, give them 2 Grenade Launchers, paint the drum blue and call it Plasma or cut up the Flamers and call them Meltas. - 10 men for a Vet squad on foot, give them camo pattern fatigues and say they have Camo Gear, then give them a heavy weapon, preferably an Autocannon or Lascannon - Use the remaining 2 men to be a Missile Launcher heavy weapons duo - Leman Russ don't glue the turret so you can swap what it is
Logan Davis
Ah man, I'm still learning IG, and i'm stoked to use the Relics they have while me and my friend (Who has started a Grey Knights force) begin our second war of escalation where we collect progressively more and more powerful units till we get to apocalypse games.
Jason Lewis
Tables like this are why I'm saying fuck it and starting a little Sisters army like I've wanted to for years. I'm going to lovingly paint them, make a fluffy list and not care. Plus listening to organ music as I paint is comfy.
Michael Watson
Even if we knew the story, how would you know that is isn't the Alpha Legion misleading us.
Xavier Miller
Or treating your parkingsons you ork idiot.

Kurov's Aquila and Volkov's Cane have been the most useful for me, but I really love the idea of some of the melee Relics. I love the Deathmask.
Blake Ward
Fuck never thought about that
Ayden Stewart
Red Guard Guy here. My first purchase was a SC! and I dont regret it a bit. In fact my second purchase with another SC!!

So, How much will they sigmarify 40k?]
>tfw you'll never relive 3rd edition perfection
Jackson Green
That is sad, 3rd looks good because the rest of the edition are super shit
Ryan Fisher
>How much will they sigmarify 40k?
Who knows, my guess is its going to be a simplified version of 2nd ed or a more 'complex' version of AoS. Stuff like Armor modifiers, movement values and probably also the 2nd ed movement rules with more simple vehicle and assault rules might come into the new ruleset.
Adam Ramirez
Anyone familiar with this site? They seem to have a lot of discount FW which leads me to believe they are recasters.
Alexander Martinez
>Stuff like Armor modifiers, movement values and probably also the 2nd ed movement rules with more simple vehicle and assault rules might come into the new ruleset.
That stuff all sounds good tbqh senpai
Adam Jenkins
Anything FW for less than what they charge is either used or more likely recast. FW is order only from their site, they don't distribute to any retailers.
Just straight up fast. I like shooty armies and I like fast armies. I know the Necrons have some kind of big fucking laser with the Annihilation Barge but the +3" to all movement seems pretty good.
Dominic Brooks
If I get lions blade and throw a 10 man dev squad with heavy bolters into a drop pod would that be at all viable?
Bentley Wood
>only having the option to select one army I guess I'll just go with what I'm currently making
Jack Martinez
it's not to all movement, just to the fast attack and elites. though all of it can have Scout, which lets you move 6" during deployment.
Cooper Flores
3rd was the glorious age of this thing being a bloody hobby.
5th might had been better but it shows the clear disdain for the consumer that GW has. At least during 3rd they pretended to care.
Robert Sullivan

Josiah Young
Every meme is forced. All human history is basically a meme.
James Sullivan
Okay, I need some help with lore stuff. Is there any reason that a genestealer cult would not remain on the planet they've conquered? I am trying to think up a story for my dudes that would allow them to persist across campaigns, rather than imagine them to be a new cult every time.
Brody Morales
within a system sure, unless they had conquered the whole thing or the Hive Fleet had showed up. or they could send agents to another system to infect it, making a new splinter successor cult.
after the Hive fleet gets there they all die though.
Zachary Bell
Anyone know anywhere to get good blood ravens transfers?
Logan Kelly
Yeah but this one sucks.
Asher Nelson
>Is there any reason that a genestealer cult would not remain on the planet they've conquered?
I imagine if the Cult has been in the planet long enough they will eventually take over the entire planet as they wait for the Tyranids to arrive, you could have a whole planet made of mutants that worship Genestealers as their God-Kings.
You can come up with reasons to make your cult not be a one shot thing, like its part of a larger cult that sends its operatives to die in order to infect planets or something.
Kevin Ross
Considering they're selling games day exclusives, they're probably recasters.
Jordan Fisher
Well, what leads you to believe it /wouldn't/ be viable?
Daniel Price

David Stewart
Has anyone ever used Salamander recon vehicles? Want to make 2 and im wondering how they preform

Oliver Foster
nope he is right that was pretty terrible.
Hunter Sanchez
Warhammer 40k looks like a good time; however, I know absolutely nothing about it and would really like to learn about it. Where is the best place to begin?
Daniel Nelson
1 HQ 2 troop choices
Grayson Martinez
Anyone else been around the hobby but never played the game? I know how to play but I've only ever wanted to paint/model. It's been almost two decades now, should I just go all in and start doing other people's armies? Only thing I really like about the table top is watching games, what better than watching them with well painted and converted armies? Not to mention there are so many players around that have bottomless pockets but grey models.
Hudson Harris
Here? 40k is freaking huge so start with whichever faction looks most interesting to you and branch out from there. The game is only as good as your playgroup is, but the hobby aspects are limited only by what you want to do with it.
Dylan Mitchell
Not here, unfortunately. Veeky Forums is all memes and salty grognards. Try dakkadakka online, or call up a local games store that does 40k, ask when they play, and come in on the game day to talk to players. You might even get to borrow an army for a trial game.
Anthony Jones
So much this.
The start collecting boxes are generally a good start for a new player as well.
Leo Cooper
where do i go to be a writefag?
Josiah Baker
Hit up a FLGS, or a GW store. Some stores give free models to new players and let you build and paint them in store.
Others may even allow you to test a game, probably more likely now that we just had a minigame Shadow War: Armageddon released.
When you feel like you've got a taste for the game, come back here for tauposters and memes.
Robert Ward
Unless you're CSM.
Jose Hill
A Start Collecting box, or a HQ and Two Troops choices of the army you want. Lore wise, the Codex of your army and Lexicanum should do you well, as well the the Big Rule Book's fluff sections will do nicely.
Be warned that 8th edition is around the corner.
Angel Watson
>Tauposters
Elijah Brooks
Okay, taking my suggestion from last thread and fleshing it out:
8th Edition: All Armies MUST fit inside the CAD and Allied Detachments unless your going apocalypse. No more Squadroning Units, with a few exceptions. Formations are specific combinations of units you take within the CAD. For example, a Riptide Wing (which needs a seperate nerf, but that's not what we're here for) takes 3 elite slots, and provides bonuses. The Emp's Fist Armored Company (Renamed Armored Platoon) is 3 Leman Russes and a Leman Russ Commander, so 1 HQ and 3 Heavy support slots. 4-5 tanks depending on if you decide to keep giving the commander a co-tank. Personally, I suggest not: The Tank Commander instead gets better orders that effect other vehicles in your army.
This is very important because it severely limits spam. Even the spammy-est tankguard player can now only take 5 tanks in a CAD and a further 2 in the Allied Detachment. As a tankguard player myself, I feel that's fair as its still more heavy armor than any other faction, BUT you can't go full-parking lot. Parking lots were stupid anyways: Real tanks maneuver and spread out to avoid artillery, and so should ours.
The big advantage to this is it's a million times easier to balance the game. A Guard player who takes the Emp's Fist forfeits the ability to take an Emp's Wrath. A Riptide Wing player forfeits Ghostkeels, Crises Suits, and Stealth Suits. Alternatively, an OSC player forfeits Crises and Riptides. So now the gamemakers know that the player must choose between stealth, strength, or a combination of both with no formation benefits. Finally, if one particular weapon is OP, you're limited in how many of it you can take, often to 3 or less.
This also encourages fluffy lists. Yes, encourages. Think about it: You can choose the brutal frontal assault of riptides or riptides and crisis suits, or the stealthier approach of the stealth suits.

Aaron Stewart
Special Exceptions to squadrons:
Mostly cheap weak vehicles designed to come in groups: Sentinels Killa Kans Tauroses etc.
I also propose a new slot type to the CAD: Air Support. You get two Aircraft in the CAD and 1 for the Allied. Smaller Aircraft like deffcoptahs come in squadrons of 3-5, fighters like the Space Marine Littlebird-thing 1-2, and Larger transports like Valkyries are single-unit squadrons.
Jeremiah Mitchell
