Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

my dudes > your dudes

No, they're atheist because the Emperor founded their order when he was alive, and they're blanks, which is why they can block the warp. The Sisters of Battle would hate them for both of those reasons.

wot you git they're just warp nulls

Iron Hands because we look better in black than you do

I can't decide between Blood Angels and Grey Knights.

8th Edition makes me wonder what the hell is going to happen to both of them.

I really like assault armies, and the new rules on pistols make hand flamers and inferno pistols make them a lot more useful.

Go blood angels.
Can be equally as fancy as grey knights, plenty of conversion potential, one of the best primarchs, way more toys than knights etc etc etc.

I think I'm gonna pick up Iron Hands, with vehicles getting more use I can see a lot of functionality from them since they shit out techmarines and nothing ever wants to die.

It's like playing nurgle marines but instead of being slow as fuck they fix all their metal boxes. If their bonuses are close enough in 8th edition then an IH techmarine in a land raider would be fucking horrifying.

...

2d6th for unreliable charge range.

>I can't decide between Blood Angels and Grey Knights.
Blood Angels with allied Grey Knights.

blood angels, if only because there's less mental gymnastics involved in pitting them against non-chaos forces

are we at least going to get a free move when we fail a charge like fantasy?

Never been a problem for any actual assault army. All the real melee models have Fleet or bonuses to make sure they make it into combat.

The best chapter is Deathwatch. Because it's every chapter.

It sounds like it, yeah.

Also you no longer remove casualties from the front so Overwatch doesn't extend the range you need to make the charge when it kills a couple guys.

ALSO you only need to get within 1" of the target so you effectively have a +1 to your roll now.

That chapter that has become irrelevant because the Imperium is pro-Xenos now?

Fair sure you still move the distance rolled, yeah.

What sort of bird wings would look best on Scourges with red armor on sea bases? Raven wings, hawk wings...?

Have they actually said how wound allocation will work?

Might as well wait it out till more information comes to light or the new edition hits. That being said, GKs tend to be a cheaper army to collect with their low model count. The blood angels do have a start collecting box though, doesn't seem to have what you would probably want though, no assault marines.

The assumption is the controlling player has total control over allocating Wounds like in AoS (except I think there's a clause that stops you from playing musical wounds with units of multi-wound models?)

Got to wonder if you guys get paid for memeposting.

>GW is selling plastic Horus Heresy sets
>Forge World now sells 30k Legion Tactical Squads using the GW plastic sprues instead of using the resin ones
Does this mean Forge World may move onto plastic?

Only Guilliman and those close to him are neutral on certain types of Eldar, there's still plenty of room for murdering xenos.

AoS forces you to allocate a wound to a model until the model is dead. Still, seems a bit silly to let a player just allocate all wounds to the guy with a storm shield sitting at the back of a unit. At least with the "allocate to the closest model first, you're rewarded for flanking an infantry unit.

Actually, I own full armies of both as well as Space Wolves and Deathwatch but I don't know which one to start working on due to the new edition.

GET FUCKING HYPE FOR THE FOUR HEAVENLY KINGS

Forgeworld's been doing that from day one with their old conversion kits, man. I doubt they'll move to plastic any time soon, if ever.

Why is Fulgrim a snake?

Space wolves since their wolves weapons will become ice weapons, they'll tone down the wolf wolf wolf, rejoice!!!

I thought Mortarion refused to ascend to daemonhood?

No the plan was that GW would do plastics for some of their really common kits so FW could focus on specialised kits rather than spending all their time making MK IV Marines.

Why are you a faggot?

Fuck. I guess they'll never go to plastic

Not a huge Chaos guy but I'm really interested to see how Fulgrim comes out.

>implying you get a choice when the Dark Gods actually properly want you and you've so much as given them a foot in the door

Why not different types of fish fins that look like wings? But if it has to be birds, eagles or cormorants could work, maybe even flamingos to really stand out.

Nope, he's super demonic.
Only person to refuse daemonhood is Abby and the only non demon traitor Primarch is Alpharius.

Why is Fulgrim a faggot?

Because Slaanesh wills it.

His daemonic ascension was forced on him during the final journey to earth. Played like a damn fiddle by typhon.

Isn't Alpharius dead?

I thought he died and Omegon took up the Alpharius name.

Why are you a snake?

>Perturabo and Lorgar will be killed off screen because LOL only Belacuck is the only undivided daemon Prince
>mfw

because who can resist what wiggles between Ferrus's oily thighs

Because he loved his brother a little bit too much. Including having an entire factory set to make clones of him after he killed him.

Morty is now a giant fly. bzzzz

Why snakes are Fulgrim?

They also look better headless then Templars, it's true!

Yes but that's functionally the same thing as being Alpharius.

I knew what would be behind that spoiler but I clicked it anyway.

Dammit.

Did you like it?

What makes that even more disturbing is Fulgrim's almost completely feminine face

Like a woman's head on a large muscular man's body

GW have already sold their fill of his crappy old model, he's already doing nothing but job in ludicrously pathetic ways.

GW aren't stupid, they know the money Primarchs bring and they will gladly throw some old ass resin WHFB model under the bus for it.

Fuck you

That's another valid possibility, though fish fins might not do one much good around the spires of Commorragh. I'll think about it. Thanks.

>no giant Perty fortress golem
>no crazy priest Lorgar who shows his new converts such as Chaos Sisters, Chaos Orks, Chaos Eldar etc.

N-no

>no crazy priest Lorgar who shows his new converts such as Chaos Sisters, Chaos Orks, Chaos Eldar etc.
Lorgar is a giant chaos spawn and he's being kept hidden from outsiders to prevent his failure shame even further the word bearers

With 8th ed I'm finally going to join the hobby.

The Thousand sons army appeals to me the most but I am turned of by daemons.

How many daemons can I expect in the new Thousand sons "codex"?

In todays latest announcement: Watch as the goys in Nu Goyims Cuckshop get BLACKED as they retreat!

You don't need to run any if you don't want to.

New psychic phase means psykers can't act as warp charge batteries for other psykers which means you aren't gimping yourself by not running daemons, and also summoning is getting nerfed.

>under the bus
You mean under the rocks?
But, er, in all seriousness, is Fulgrim the only Daemon Prince with a non-humanoid form? And either way, do you figure his model will just be a big ol' snake, or if they'll humanoid him up a bit?

Thousand Sons and Daemons of Tzeentch may be allies, but I dont think they are going to be the same faction.

Are you sure user?

I hope summoning works like AoS.

This is becoming tiresome, my shitposting friend

If you mean summoning infinite daemons that time have ended

90% of things look to be working just like AoS so it's a fair bet.

We have no idea, but with the changes to summoning and with Daemons of Tzeentch likely changing to resemble their AoS equivalents they should be a lot less viable.
As for the Thousand Sons themselves, the changes to cover, AP and the psychic phase should all serve to make them a lot more powerful.

So though we don't know for sure this is the edition where Daemonless Thousand Sons are most likely to be good.

Then stop feeding the tumblrina troll.

>I play Chaos Space Marines

Usually that's
>I play Tau
But I do know some really cringey younger players who play CSM/KDK

>mfw tau, eldar scatter spammers and daemons will get shit over by GW
>mfw GW will punish Phil Kelly by letting Cruddace write the new eldars

Fulgrim has always had the body type of a Lamia with extra arms.
Also we don't really know what Perturabo's Daemonic form looks like so his might be less humanoid too, other than that though all of the Daemon Primarchs are fairly humanoid.

>not "I play Eldar"
Are you guys kidding? New to the hobby?

Eldar doesn't imply fedorafag neckbeards.

Tau does because weeb cheese.

That probably means that Phil Kelly will keep writing Tau, and I don't think that's a future anybody wants.

Who out of the primarchs has gotten minis previously? I'm assuming that, if you don't count HH, only the Daemon Primarchs have been represented, but which ones have we seen, just Fulgrim and Magnus?

>play guard
>just realized that all of my vehicles have to be perma stationary otherwise I will never be able to hit anything
good thing I like using blobs.

>Eldar have literal Katanas and "teleport behind you" type tech/characters
The literal only weeb thing about Tau is the suits

Threadly reminder that this cunt is one of the main rule writers for 8th.

Are you ready for Tyranids to be dogshit for a second decade in a row?

We've seen the 4 god aligned ones. Fulgrim, Mortarion, Magnus and Angron.

>ALSO you only need to get within 1" of the target so you effectively have a +1 to your roll now.

Not quite.

If you end your charge 1" or more away, you aren't within 1".

It's very important to correct this misconception before someone tries claiming a roll of 8" is a legal charge against a model 9" away.

Oh you mean those old Epic 40k models?
That was just all the god aligned Primarchs.

>I play GW games

maybe social media pressure will make this fuck stop with his terrible and biased codex writing?

HOLY SHIT

IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING

JOJO

REFERENCE

Honestly, weeb cheese is looking pretty fucking classy after reading about Space Marines 2.0, who are going to be even more super elite than the normal super elite space marines, who already have super super elite individuals and Death Watch.

Do we know what Lorgar looks like?

I hope he doesn't even look demonic, just a lot bigger and covered in those ritual tattoos
