>Galactically irrelevant >so small yet sheltered by the bubblewrapping of the Imperium that they don't get wiped the fuck out by the numerous galactic threats
Yes
Jeremiah Kelly
Is Assault still bad? Better or worse? Or do we not know enough yet?
Parker Myers
This has been a hilariously confusing time to decide I want to get into 40k. I only kinda understood 7E's rules, and I have a feeling that almost-understanding is making it more difficult for me to get the reveals they've been going through. Doesn't help that it's *kinda* like AoS, except when it isn't. Not saying I don't like it, saying that I'm basically forced to wait until the book actually comes out before I can have an opinion on these rules. (Which I guess gives me a leg-up on people creating their opinions based on teasers...)
Angel Foster
dunno enough yet. especially the stats of most units.
Zachary Rodriguez
Veeky Forums btfo yet again, this edition is going to be all about combined arms and not assault vs gunlines.
This could turn out to be similar to Infinity's list building, where you require a full (or partially full) toolbox instead of chaf and cheese.
For now 8e is better than I expected it would be. Now I really want to see at least one full datasheet - one of the new starter set unit would be perfect
Carter Carter
We don't know. Anyone pretending that we know also doesn't know, and is making assumptions.
Dylan Carter
there already a thread going
Isaiah Rodriguez
It's missing the /40kg/ title (so its harder to find) plus it doesn't have daily dunc.
Josiah Harris
Everything OP has to do is to copy-paste the shit from previous one and remember about thread title.
Michael Green
Why is Reddit like this? This has like 100 updoots and tons of compliments, literally just a can with spare bits glued on it and he called it a WAAAGH tower.
>inb4 why are you on leddit.
Jace Hernandez
Have the tau met tyranids?
Gabriel Mitchell
not sure if buying a box of kabalite warriors right now is a horrible idea. just starting
Caleb Howard
>goes on Leddit to get mad and come complain about it on Veeky Forums But user, why the fuck ARE you on leddit you autistic child?
Dylan Allen
Its more work than most people I know would be willing to put it. That might just be me though.
Dominic Ross
I remember way back when there was a series of battle reports in white dwarf that were a story campaign of tau vs tyranids.
Jeremiah Moore
If he painted it it wouldn't be terrible. Not commenting on the validity of reddit - just pointing out that's not a bad basis for a terrain piece.
Nathan Flores
Well if you paint that well it could look like somewhat descent terrain. Nothing special though.
Noah Gonzalez
8th seems a but melee-centric but I would still hold off on it.
Nathan Bennett
Yeah, they won but they lost a huge part of their eastern fringe, they call it the ghost stars or something
Logan Harris
I meant infantry-centric, defiantly not melee lol.
Colton Walker
Who's sold their army in the past? Not just 8th, but in general.
Daniel Powell
IIRC there are even some arts of their battles in Tau Codex
Gabriel Gutierrez
Well I seem to remember some fluff about the Tau out-adapting the nids from somewhere or other.
Adrian Brooks
sold dark eldar, bt, crons, marines, amd eldar. yet i still play and may restart dark eldar with ynnari

Anyone able to help?
Sebastian Cruz
So I'm not the only one.
Sold Tau a while back, I'm considering selling the Marines I have and I'm giving away a Skitarii squad to another local player. Not sure if I even want to start collecting anything again.
Gavin Green
yeah ever since the kabal nerf to dark eldar ive been on the fence.
meanwhile i am enjoying aos with stormcast
Jack Bennett
Well, it's looking like 8th is going to be Sigmar V2, so we'll see what the future holds. I'm still looking at DE, but frankly, I'm just trying to find a faction I like that I don't want to hang myself in the painting process with.
Lucas Cruz
We don't know for sure yet, but signs point to worse.
Nolan Ward
Think Cawl said he failed.
Joshua Cooper
if gw makes an archon that looks like the 7E cover AND plastic incubi.
there goes my paycheck.
back to aos. i just want my damn dark elves.
Eli Hughes
D-Eldar are mostly edge highlights right? I mean it's hard but once you get them right you can dish them out fairly quickly.
Brayden Jackson
those are all from the various warzone trailers, mate
Second line you posted was Cawl in one of the Rise of the Primarch trailers, as an example.
Aiden Hughes
yes. i found a fun technic where if you base coat just the armor amd drybrush THEN wash them it pops the edges more and gives more crisp look
Michael Harris
Luckily for me, mine are to poorly painted to sell.
I also went with Imp guard, so the models have seen re-usage in rpgs, and might see more at a later point.
Levi Diaz
if I'm not mistaken it's Cawl saying "I have failed (line from gs3) " and the other part is someone else.
Lucas Collins
Yep, and DE are what I'm looking at. I posted either here or wipg about doing a sea-themed DE army, heavy on Scourges and converting an Archon out of another Scourge. I love the modeling, converting, basing, all that; it's just actually *painting* that I can't stand.
Jaxon Green
Sold all my marines, gave one of buddies my converted captain.
Adam Scott
Ya, one thing I can really dig about DE are their models. I really like the Kabalites, painting like you said could be a chore though.
Brandon Nguyen
>THIS WORLD WILL BURN, IT WILL BE CLEANSED, PURIFIED. WE (have read(ied)) IT AND THE HEAVENS WILL DELIVER OUR REWARD - Inquisition Genestealer cult actually. Taken right from their trailer.
Aiden Perry
>who ever charges goes first with every weapon >can use pistol shooting in cc >free 3" move that can pull in additional units to combat and bypass their overwatch >can use all weapons availible >free 1" to get into combat
Combat is terrifying now. Gunlines are in trouble now by being close. Dedicated melee units are going to do serious damage.
Granted theres multiple overwatches for units now and then edition isnt released yet but asbfar as we can tell assault is better
Brody Brooks
What a waste of time that was.
Thomas Ramirez
heres the paint scheme done with base drybrush then wash
Hunter Nelson
don't either grab the kabalite + raider box or the start collecting Dark eldar box save money
chances are, you will need a raider or more in 8th aswell.
Robert Ramirez
Which book will you get first?
Gabriel Barnes
the rulebook :^) probably get pdfs of the others
Chase Sullivan
this made me chuckle. probs grand alliance dark eldar
Isaac Robinson
Are these legitimately the new 5 codexes?
Justin King
Looks great.
Carson Cook
Yes, it definitely is not a meme
Michael Edwards
No it's a meme.
Sebastian Scott
Yes.

absolutely

Of course not. Space marines get 2 books. Chaos and Xenos have to share

Post the last army you used in a game.
1250 imperial fists.
Samuel Walker
>He thinks that people in /40kg/ are actually playing the game user, I want to see more of your minis - post them
Nolan Scott
How did y'all pick your first army? Planning to get into 40k for 8th but have no fucking idea what I should pick. There are things I absolutely love and things I absolutely hate about pretty much ever possible choice.
Liam Gutierrez
Well my 1st army was half of a starter box, so I didn't have a whole lot of choice as to my first models I ever had. But after that, just pick a single unit/box of models you like, and build your force around that. I really liked fire warriors and devilfish, so I got them, and now I have a pretty decent Tau force build around my favorite dudes
Aaron Rivera
Because it looks cool.
Why is it "board culture" for Veeky Forums to bitch about literally everything and only give back-date compliments?
Adrian Lopez
you made this up or it got a source?
Dominic Morgan
Twice.
Once with Gorgon, once with some splinter-fleet.
In the latter engagement the Tau destroyed the entire splinter-fleet in a space battle without losing a single ships.
Eli Peterson
Well, my first army was Tyranids, since I fell in love with one of the homebrew hivefleets from 1d4chan. After I basically stole from that and got a sizable army of fire-breathing monsters though, I moved on to others.
Tau I started up because I really like their focus on teamwork and cooperation. After that, I pretty much shifted all of my attention to a Slaanesh Chaos marine army, since I really like the sheer variety of modeling and conversion opportunities there are to do weird stuff with them.
Adrian Gutierrez
Would Veeky Forums consider this table top ready? I know it's not gonna win any golden daemons but I have about 100 dudes to try and mass produce and this is really the limit of how much time I wanna dedicate
Henry Anderson
They used some kind of virus bomb hidden in three earthcaste scientists which ripped the hive fleet ships apart after consumption.
You would think the hive fleet would have some could of biological defenses.
Also they made new types of crisis suit faster than the fleet could made special creatures to kill them.
Gavin Hughes
>pic more related than it has ever been
Julian Hughes
Go with aesthetic and fluff user. With 8E everything will have new profiles, rules and role. I was thinking about getting into 40k with Tau during 7e but dropped it when first 8e teases showed around. I started playing AoS so now I'm thinking about Nurgle so I can play both games with one army. Just pick 2-3 of your favourite factions, wait for new rules and see which new playstyle fits you the best
Alexander Wright
>a tin can with plastic bits is cool fuck off you reddit spacing retard
David Scott
At the same time, make sure you actually like working on your faction of choice. Some are hell to build, some are hell to paint. And some are depressingly expensive.
because it's literally full of people who aren't good with people. it's really not a joke, see?
Nathan Nelson
>666x666 lol I wish that pic was 888x888 tho
Jose Cook
Sure, here's some deathwatch
Evan Myers
It looks like shit mate
Grayson Russell
I think the metal needs a wash at least
Tyler Parker
New orders idea for guard, I'll start >all las weapons get AP -1 until the end of the turn
Also do you guys think orders will work like it used to or will it be changed to work more like the psychic tests?
Luis Flores
A team of scions...
Grayson Collins
I picked what I thought look cool and looked into their lore. I was down to IG and GK, I picked Guard and wanted them to represent the 252nd Conservator from DoW in which the original got me into 40k, then eventually trying the tabletop.
Xavier Lee
Hey man, I made a nice Imperial storage tank with a can, some paper, and halloween decorations.It's all about disguising the fact that your terrain is made from garbage.
Blake Rivera
That is with a light wash of reikland fleshshade on the armour and nuln oil on the leadbelcher parts, what would you recommend?
John Butler
I found this in my FLGS at a slight markup from the original retail price. Would this constitute a good buy or no?
Carter Gonzalez
Annnd a knight.
Mason Parker
Agrax earthshade on the metal
Christian Gutierrez
2000pts imperial guard tanks not in picture.
Samuel Wood
>The Witcher >Dark Souls >The Elder Scrolls >Doom >Mass Effect >fucking Dawn of War All of these have hundreds of hours of quality single player content, taste aside. You're paying more for less fun.
Colton Young
Do we know if weapons and shit will still cost points or will GW copy the "free" AoS system too?
Adam Cook
Pick what dudes look the coolest and have the coolest lore, because you're gonna be spending a lot of time staring and painting these models so you at least better like their aesthetic
Thomas Foster
Do you think there's any Space Marine chapter that has an officially confirmed color scheme, that has never once been painted?
Ryder Carter
They said there's gonna be a game mode like AoS where everything but the units are free, then they said there's gonna be a "granular" system where you pay for individual upgrades and pieces of kit
Brandon Robinson
These look really well painted, have you been playing long?
