Warhammer 40.000 8th edition General /W40k8thG/

Perhaps I'm out growing gaming. I fell in love with 40k the day I found a 3ed rule book at a wizards of the coast store (back when that was a thing) but now? People seem happy there taking the pants on head retarded AoS rules and killing 40k with it. Perhaps that's what people want now. Rip 40k, you and fantasy where to good for this world

Consider this an interim edition.

>Rip 40k, you and fantasy where to good for this world
You forgot about your cheetah pic

Sorry. I'm not up to date on my shitposting. Whats the cheeta meme

People probably like it because 40k had become bloated and complex for the sake of being complex due to a refusal to actually demolish the system and start over.

If you really need a big book filled with rules that serve no practical purpose you may be compensating for something.

>General
>mortal wounds are a thing
>psyker will have them
>super heavy and gargantuan will have them
>my knights once again ignore all saves
Bow before my might and tremble before the Emperor's wrath!!!

The new psychic phase sucks. I will continue to think so until the rules are expanded upon. The 2d6 system is weak sauce.

The rulebook on the gamesworkshop site is still the 7th one right? I´m not familiar with the release shedule.

Could you elaborate or post a link? Wanted to build myself a plastic Sisters and Inquisition army.

Next thread, can we get it phrased as 'Tyranid raised by the Tau'? I mean, it can't all be human/ork.

Nah, nah, Cheetah's always happy. That's the one nice thing about him. Well, that and the willingness to acknowledge that it's only shitposting.

We will always have previous editions

>hate edition will have the chance of double turns

Does it actually?

As someone who is new to rubric marines

What does the new psyker phase mean for me? Is it good or bad?

>cheetah
>in favour of AoSification
Yeah, no, he isn't that much of a faggot
>dis gun b gud edishion
>mortal wounds
>stormsurges, wraithknights and knights will definitely have them
>it's New D spam edition
>eldars still Kings of the hill
Yeah, no

You mean like there was a huge box with PLASTIC THUNDERHAWK written on it, which got everyonr hyped, and then it was just a refreshed Thunderhawk in resin, making everyone lose intersg in it?

GW has trolled more than once. I can definitely imagine them doing that to surprise people even more.

You are the cancer that was killing this game. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, faggot.

If I remember, they said in a FAQ we wont have that shitty garbage rule. Thank god, as its the only thing in AoS I cant wrap my head around. Why anyone would want to use that dumb rule, let alone create it.

What's the best way to catch up on the new lore? Haven't been paying attention since 6th.

We'll have to wait and see what powers you can get.

Third edition was seen as a dumbing down and simplification at the time, just like you think eighth edition is.

Some people just don't like change.

Reminder to purge all whfb cucks

Odds are rubric sorcerers will have a harder time casting their spells, but are more likely to actually use their powers instead of funneling warp charges into a Sorcerer or Magnus.

Having Smite by default also means the Rubric sorcerer might have better psychic shooting at a baseline, and depending on other changes there may not be the same psychic tables, so any other powers they get might be improved or different.

Overall, likely going to be a positive change, unless it makes the squad even more expensive

>Could you elaborate or post a link? Wanted to build myself a plastic Sisters and Inquisition army.

Quote from the livestream. Just an offhanded comment.

Random turns won't be a thing

Thank fucking god.

Who here enjoys the WarhammerTV Twitch streams?

Especially today where SoB beat Tzeentch 10 to 19!

user please, they'll spam aos elements to 40k and you know it, 8ed is the base for AoS second edition, they expect to charm unsatisfied players with this, if it doesn't work out they'll just inject more elements of old fantasy in 40k until they recover the whole player base

That's what I thought. Ty for taking time for finding the sauce on that.

>unless it makes the squad even more expensive
Like they could make TS squads even more expensive.

Your post is wrong, but the wendy's girl is cute, so thanks.

Nope, see 3 posts above you. It wont be a thing. Stop being a hater just to hate. You only look dumb.

See? people didn't liked random turns, so they didn't make the cut, expect that being phase out in the next AoS edition

Sisters of battle are the best value for money army, I've been using the same models for the last 15 years, while marine players are going to have to update their basic troops yet again when the tall marines are released.

>expect that being phase out in the next AoS edition
I really hope it will be the case. Its nice to know they didnt use them because the players didnt enjoy it.

Assuming WAAAAGGGGH energy diddnt manifest in them and just made them start shooting things, an ork warband would probably roll through their farm or something, the ork figures out what the hell has been happening it's entire life, and joins the WAAAAAGGGHHHHH with it's brothers.

So, without Initiative, how will assault work now? The side that charged goes first on subsequent turns as well?

>He doesn't like quality of life updates
>He doesn't like modern gaming conventions
>He doesn't like trying new things.

Why?

He would bring the Orkz back to their Shamanistic roots and beat Ghazghkull by cheating

I bet it will use morale and attacks. But saying that, it's going to be explained on community site tomorrow afternoon.

>bait a bunch of orks into a warehouse
>gun them down
>let the spores grow and begin the growth of some orks
>become an ork farmer, train them to be either to be green shields for guardsmen or have them be a work force.

Dude what is happening to 40k right now is a really good thing, you are just letting nostalgia get in the way

I came into 40k almost 3 years ago and i cant fucking wait for the new edition, current 40k is over bloated, overly complex, and filled with game breaking mechanics. It took gw this long to re work it because of the amount of effort they would need to put into it, and hey already had a generation of people hooked on it. Now gw has to inspire a new generation to play the game or they will tank.

The new edition is already doing so many things right such as the move stat, damage stat, and re worked physcic phase. The also got rid of templates, and while i like the idea, templates sloe down the game and cause more headaches than benefits

40k was too complex, and while complexity is not inheritly bad, it should add to the game, not detract from it.

The reason why you edition was "the best" edition was because thats he one you grew up playing.

Im extremely excited because while i love the lore and like playing the game, it can be a fucking headache to play.

All the changes that gw has leaked so far are drastic improvements, and anyone that claims otherwise are with trolls, power gamers, or pants on head retards

The only way these fools will see the light is until they play it, though they will prob just whine either way.

These communists need to move to China.

>What would happen if an Ork was raised from a very young age as if they were human?

You realise Orks are born "full grown" right?
You couldn't raise him as hum because he'd try to beat you to death and eat from about the moment he popped out of the ground.

No, other way around.
He'd kill off all the smart boyz because he's too dumb to understand what actually makes Ork society work, he'd instead suddenly hire a crapload of Squats to make stuff for him because that certainly makes sense, and Ghazghkull would beat him using normal Ork tactics that would be called 'cheating' by fucking morons.

Who thinks Melta will cause mortal wounds or Grav for that matter?

Mortal wounds being unsavable damage.

Agreed, these are the same people who insisted there was nothing wrong with fantasy

Nice post, think of that yourself?

I'd enjoy it more if you heard a bit more of what's being said at the table as its kind of hard to follow the game just from watching.

They either bludgeon you with their tools or squat about like slavs on a playground.

Melta maybe within melta range. Grav probably not

I hope very few things have mortal wounds. Guns spewing out mortal wounds is far worse than any amount of D shots from 7th.

but SoB are in todays video-battlereport by GW
AND they are featured prominently on their new 40k intro page AND we recently got some old models (Immolator) back AND 2 new models which is more than in the last 10years combined.

Not dead yet

I did get a message reply from one of WarhammerTV about what I can use my flamer for though.

As a tear...

Makes sense that melta would cause unsavable damage seeing as its meant to kill actual tanks

I swear to god if 8th edition doesn't buff Orks or nerf everything else I'm going to flip. How hard is it to create a smaller gap between something like vanilla Nids and Eldar+Tau?!

They refused to answer my question on if we will get new inquisition, but they did say we can say they are and are not coming on plastic sisters.

The changes to the psychic phase itself are good. Smite means that every Psyker will have at least one decent Witchfire power, and everybody will get to try to cast now.

The big question is what the Tzeentch/Thousand Sons table is like and whether or not they're going to port over that retarded rule of one thing from AoS for matched play. They probably are, based on the comment about matched play having some restriction on the psychic phase, and that's going to suck majorly for Thousand Sons if we only have ~6 spells to choose from.

As long as Phil Kelly lives, yes.

>Magnus will automatically know all powers from Tzeentch Daemons and Thousand Sons factions, including unique spell Gaze of Magnus
>Magnus makes psychic power tests with three dice
>Magnus can not suffer Perils of the Warp

More or less what i expect form the big guy.

not only that, they made the immolator components out of resin.

However that raises a nasty point against the SoB, they still have metal models and aren't making new ones. Its just stock that hasn't been bought out.

I doubt they'd make plastic SoB while they have the metal stock

Every faction is said to be playtested and balanced, and that this edition has been there most extensively play tested along with getting help from American gamers in the play testing. They also said every unit has been tested in battle.

But what if you convinced him Humans were Orks?

This entire edition is a huge for you. Your army, aside from Magnus, we overcosted as fuck so you really like new points. New armor system makes Rubric's bolters and invu saves that much stronger, and sorc can now actually do shit instead of acting as WC battery.

Cant help you there. GW is notorious for not telling what they are up to. The last batch of plastic sister rumors, including the "announcement" on that video where one warhammercommunity dude claimed he had plastic sisters of battle gave a release date close to when new celestine came out, so it was *not* a lie even if it did not update the whole range.

Humans aren't green

What are the

Changes or additions?

They iz if Orks think dey iz

Alternitavely, convince them pink and brown and such are shades of green.

Galaxy torn in half by warpstorms.
Guilliman's secret weapons deployed.

Fluff is still valid.

Btw one of the hosts in the stream fucked his lineup. He was about to say SoB are so expensive! and transitioned into something mid 'ex'

Good, good. My warpboner is satiated.

What army should I start for 8th?

Sold everything I had several editions ago to pay for an army in a different game (no regrets).

The Imperium have Gellar bombs

Guilliman is going to activate the remaining Blackstone fortresses and use them to wreck shit.

it means the same for you as for everyone else
wait and see till the whole package is out, there is no reason to judge individual pieces without seeing their interaction.

>The emperor of mankind enters your chamber
>OH HAY user
What do you do?

Warp is warping

Guilliman storyline ongoing

Necrons are Empire-ing up

Tyranids are squatted

Death Guard

>Orks won Soulstorm
my fucking sides

One you can also play in 30k to maximize your investment.

Da Orkz iz alwayz da best way ta start. But ya should pick whateva fits yer best way krumpin' 'eads.

So basically, if you magical realming neckbeards want plastic sisters, fucking buy out the metal stock first you faggots

Fucking 100% this.

40k is dying and gw is trying to jump start it.

Who plays eternal crusade here, and what's your guild?

the destruction of the pylons opened a galaxy wide warp anomaly going from the eye of terror to the tau empire
it is now easier for chaos entities to manifest, which means greater presence of daemon primarchs

the half of the imperium that got cut off from terra is now labelled imperium nihilus, how hopeless they are or feel it's up to see, but we also have baal there where the successors of the blood angels are gathering to fight a massive tendril of leviathan

guilliman has worked with the priesthood of mars to create new marines

armageddon is going to be relevant again
the rock is near there

slaanesh is going to get the final succ from ynnead and cegorach

the necron dinasty of the eastern fringe is on the rise and along ultramar and the tau empire cover one of the few entrances left in the warp anomaly for the tyranids to enter from that side of the fringe

fenris is in the middle of the shitstorm

I bought a couple of immolator after imperial agents was released, the only component that's resin is the transparent windows for the turret.

Fuck you! You know how much they bloody cost?

One squad of sisters can buy me, 2 squads of Skitarii warriors a Mechanicus Adept with many skills and fancy title along with a Dune Walker. That's just comparing buying one squad to one other army!

>Fenris
>Daemon Primarchs

Magnus vs Furry Fuck showdown happening? My two favorite Primarchs?
