Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

CHOOSE
YOUR
FUCKING
BOOK

Finally is released from the hell that is dealing with Cato.

Guilliman is busy being Lord Commander of the Imperium. It's likely that Calgar is still just doing his job as chapter master because Bobby G is too busy running fucking everything to run the Ultramarines.

first thought is to shave some points and give your chimeras heavy flamers as well

What's wrong with Chaos Marines?

? They can't take any more weapons. Would you replace a weapon? The Heavy Bolter to Heavy Flamer is a free swap.

Fluff article when?

They keep getting passed over for new units, weapons, and toys! We have Tech Hertics and they should be shitting out new weapons by a Deamon Primarch's Butt Load. Yet nothing....

Demonhost? I've try using those things many times. I have never made them work.
And I'm the crazy bastard that has manage to make PE and Repentias work.

You are better of using DCA

Reposting my list for the last 7th tourney at my local store, rules are:

>1250 points
>1 CAD
>1 Book (no supplements)
>500 points must be spent on troops
>No LoW
>No more than 1 model with more than 5 wounds/hull points

I've got 35 points spare to spend on Combi-weapons etc.

The alternative would be to take two exorcists, and drop Celestine for a bare bones priest, but I feel like Celestine's ability to tank pretty big hits will probably be better since most of the list is pretty fragile..

>The Heavy Bolter to Heavy Flamer is a free swap.
even on the hull mount?

Well, if it is, do that. Heavy bolters don't do anyone any good.

In about 3 minutes

With the Cadia blow-up will we see new basic infantry IG models? Friend is thinking about getting into 40k by buying IG start collecting.

Also are you thinking about making up a new army for 8e?

Double-flamers on Chimeras are gonna be nasty in 8th

Wait we have Tech Heretics? Link?

Give Flamer SoB Immolators Multi Melta.
Give melta SoB Immolators Heavy Flamers

Add dozer blades to Immolators
Add storm bolter to Exorcist

Beside that you have the most basic and functional SoB list in 7th

Hopefully IG get something, it's been a while for them. I am starting tyranids but havent a fucking clue what to get as a starter aside from the start collecting box

Well shit, that's a pain in the ass because I glued them in. I've still got the spare Flamers though. Might have to do some conversion work.

The only thing i'm waiting on is the Assault Grenadiers from Anvil Industry I ordered (to match the two Vet squads i've already got), then i've actually got everything in that list, about 40% painted. Most of the vehicles, Baneblade is WIP. All in Inquisition colours.

New fluff:

>Also are you thinking about making up a new army for 8e?
Yeah, making a nidzilla list. So far got a SC box, 12 hormogaunts, a trygon, and a carnifex

Got a pile of old marines that I might strip and try to pick the glue off, and probably paint as Astral Claws because I like the scheme and it's pretty simple.

Should I keep them on 25mm bases? Might just buy round MDF 32mm bases instead of official GW ones.

Problem is, I don't have any DCA models. I'm using the Daemonhosts because the Inquisitor is a radical. I've got 5 Flagellants kitbashed with the ghost things from AOS that my friend is making for me as counts-as Daemonhosts. Going to look great when they're done.

>Beside that you have the most basic and functional SoB list in 7th

Cool I guess, should have expected as much.

Hopefully when 8th comes around there'll be good excuses to take some of the armies weirder units, like power armoured hordes, or Penitent Engines.

>Might have to do some conversion work.
well, as always wait for the rules to come out before sawing anything up

Nothing of value the post.

Well that was underwhelming
>its the eye of terror but it's a big crack
>also time shifts is a thing now guys

Well, hoped for something more. It's a fuckin nothing desu

Scenery, because if I wanna be an NPC, but with better rules than Nids.

>Some worlds felt centuries go by in an instant while others were all but froze in time, and still others have suffered constant temporal shifts.
This could be actually pretty nice campaign material

>The SM company reach a world were millennia has passed from the creation of the rift, where an heretical mix of Imperial Truth and xenos history has been created

It's really not a whole lot of anything "new", but it's cool that they're expanding on the big fuckoff rift a little.

FUCKING ORKS AND TYRANIDS NEED TO FUCKING DIE

I guess they didn't want to push any buttons explaining the marines2.0 yet.

>Should I keep them on 25mm bases?
If GW wants to replace old marines with the new one some day I would rather magnetise them to whatever you wan bases. Maybe we will be allowed to use old marines to proxy new ones if they are same based (32mm is my bet)

Use those as DCA

Hell I've use Repentias as DCA since I have 9 of those bitches.

There is a way to make PE work.
You need 6 and at least 4 transports to block line of sight to them or at least give them cover save. It is the old school Rhino wall move everything forward pop smoke and hope for the best. You get turn 2 charge some times.

It won't work against waac, but it can be done.

>The Crimson Path is part of a strategy that Abaddon the Despoiler plans to accomplish with his Thirteenth Black Crusade. His goal is to conduct a massive campaign to breach the barriers of the Cadian Gate in order to shatter the protective fields projected by the Pylons that hold back the tides of the Eye of Terror. Once destroyed, Abaddon's Daemonic allies would be able to manifest into realspace as the Warp spread outwards, across a trail known as the Crimson Path. The expansion of the region of Chaos space would eventually spread into the Segmentum Solar and in time would engulf Terra itself
> The rift is variously known by the cultures of the galaxy as the Crimson Path

>be Abbadon
>blow up cadia to launch the crimson path to terra
>instead it goes 90° away from it
>then a primarch comes back to lead a new crusade to undo the damage this failure caused, so you don't even get to rip the imperium in two for that long
>and magnus already allowed the daemon primarchs to enter realspace, so you didn't even do that

>but it's ok, because chaos fanboys will still insist you aren't a massive failure

Why the fuck don't we have Scenerymancers for each army except the Tau?

>Catachans can plant fast-growing jungles
>Exodites and their bullshit
>Orks fast-grow giant fat squigs
>Tyranids just spawn giant tentacle pillars
etc.

That's how you solve Tau problem.

Tau have moving scenery with that Tide wall thingy.
It is kind of silly

>no enginseer+servitor work crew that can assemble imperial terrain features mid-game

When are we getting more news? I thought fluff stuff came out today?

>new edition comes out in a month
>Now they gives us new rules for Sly Marbo
gee thanks

see

I'm also thinking about getting an ig start playing box.

>i'm a fucking retard the post

>on Friday, we’ll take a look at Battle-forged armies

Tits say girl, part of the face says boy.

Please just be a bad angle.

He does have a point. 7th is dead by the end of semester.

It is nice to have rules for SW:A and 7th for a squated character but it is almost a pitty fuck for the Guard.

CSM can already kinda do this with geomortis, but especially worldwrithe.

>It is nice to have rules for SW:A and 7th
>and 7th
Yep you're actually completely buttfuck stupid.

Did they retcon cadia being under constant attack for ages?

?

warhammer-community.com/2017/05/04/sly-marbo-rules-for-warhammer-40000/
>7e rules for Sly Marbo

Explain. The rules are not for 8th

its dead now boi

Welp, some people want to stay in 7th edition (don't ask me why) so I'm sure someone will be happy with these rules

>Forgeworld relase agent shit on resin should pads never fucking come off
>primer wont stick
>Already on the models, can break if I take them off

How about I spray them, even though it wont stick very good. Spray with "purity seal" or something, then spray black again?
Or only do seal spray and then black primer.

Would this work? Would it get too thick or not stick properly?

Yep. They even made Cadia not prepare to fight chaos.

Granted it was a big invasion to the point of plot wrong big, but come on it was silly how easy Cadia fall

>Gork's Grin
Mork BTFO

So you're a complete retard?

Good to know.

>Transporting 6 Penitent Engines

A truly terrifying proposition.

Tbh though, they are the only SoB I don't own any of, I really should change that.

>Sly lost his Demo Charges

And like that they lost me.

So remember how there was a campaign that ended with Abby winning on the ground and no fleet?

Cadia continued from there, basically. Abby came in a huge fleet and beat what little defense remained after kilking the Imperial fleet above Cadia.

Buy chinaman. I got fed up pinning up the bastards.

>new guard
Don't know but with shadow war and other snippets of lore floating about suggesting a 3rd war on Armageddon maybe we'll get really lucky and see plastic steel legion (I mean probably not but I can dream)

>New army
Before the 8th announcement I was planning a Chaos army using the 30k sets, now I'm sitting around waiting for the full rules to drop cause what I really want is a full Deathwing army but I don't know if it'll be viable

It didn't continue from there. Otherwise it would had made sense

>Hey mommy look! I used a retard on chinese cartoon image forum!
I think you have some brain damage user and don't really know what is your problem - 7e rules for Marbo came late so players that want to stick with new edition will not use them for long but they are still useable for quitters not willing to play 8e

The booby traps are pretty much straight from codex: catachans, which makes me very happy.

True, but I loved him as a precision Demo Charger.

...

Formations are being kept but with point costs and theres rumors of a FOC with 1 HQ + multiple Elites with less command points so heres hoping the deathwing returns

im LMAOing at your life

Any greatcoat wearing regiment as the new IG posterboys would be amazing, be they Vostroyan, Valhallan, Krieg or Armageddon.

Thanks. Thank you very much.

MANLET

It was good, but limited him to a one-time suicide bomb. Now he can charge a vehicle, blow it up, then immediately go back into reserves. Which is pretty neat.

It'd be more than just a fun gimmick if he could charge out of reserves, though. Maybe they'll give him 8e rules that let him do that.

Things we learned about the massive warp storm bisecting the galaxy:
>It is called the Great Rift (among other things)
>It is not a secret
>It is widely regarded as a Bad Thing
Wow.

Will TSons be viable in 8th edition?

Will Rubric Marines finally not cost insane amounts of points while being completely mediocre ingame? Will Scarab Occults finally be worth their points cost?

Probably caused by all the warp travel. Eventually when you poke so many holes in fabric, it's gonna start tearing

>WOW DONT STARE AT ME CREEP!

If we got plastic steel legionnaires I would immediately set to work making Vostroyan conversions.

>small boss

>chaos fanboys
>not Black Legion fanboys

Answer me!

>FOC
Yeah I've seen the same and it looks. I pretty sure I'll be able to field them, it's more a case of whether Terminator's themselves are a viable unit. 2 wounds is a good start and someone has suggested that there's an AoS system where you can resist rend that might get ported over. If that's the case I'll probably consider it.

For sure, I actually quite fancy greatcoats with Cadian respirator heads. Also kinda hoping that grenade launchers become viable this edition

We don't know anything about any unit, so who knows?

However from what we've learned they seem to have gotten better, with their weapon most likely not being as powerful but being far less specialized

Does this look like the WIP general to you, you incompetent retard?

>"DELET THIS"

> grenade launchers

They'll probably be S6 -1 d3 wounds. Not great, but decent in a pinch. 50/50 chance of krumping a marine at least.

They could easily make a single box of greatcoat wearing guardsman that with pretty minimal conversion kits could make any of the greatcoat wearing regiments (they wouldn't make one for Krieg though that's killing FW's golden IG goose)

Warp Smiths
Dark Mechanicus

That would need for GW caring for something else beside marines and bad marines

Neither of whom have updated models which annoys the fuck out of me. I really want a chaos tech faction
