New Games Workshop™ doesn't care about existing fluff.
Adrian Stewart
Just won the third battle of the Taros Campaign, Encounter at Tunguska Station, in TTS with my friends. So far its Imperial Forces 2 Tau Empire 1. Running the Giadamak Encirclement next and was wondering if there is any way to run Emperor's Wrath at 1500 points, or just any advice in general. Tau only get 1000 points, but score by getting six inches from the board edges at the end of 5 turns. I also must split my forces in the battle on two sides. I only score by killing Tau units six inches outside of the board edges that make up my deployment.

fuck off stupid furry
William Carter
I've never played 40k and I want to use spess muhreens. What's a chapter a respectable heterosexual would use?
Isaiah Collins
I thought the Adeptus Mechanicus was part of the Imperium. Wasn't it their predecessor the Mechanicum who were technically only partners? After the Heresy didn't Mars give up their sovereignty?
Nathaniel Bailey
dark angels
Jackson Howard
It really doesn't matter unless you want special rules and shit for things like Black Templars or Blood Angels.
Jayden Carter
Play Minotaurs to bully other Space Marines.
>heterosexual Well they are Greek so that may actually be a problem.
Samuel Scott
Black Templars, Iron Hands, Lamenters or Flesh Tearers.
Elijah Walker
Minotaurs, Dark Angels, and Black Templar look cool. How about Custodes, Grey Knights, or Space Wolves? How are they?
Levi Murphy
Annoying Hellion user here again. I'm still contemplating buying 20 Hellions for $50, and I'm running out of reasons not to with the new edition coming.
Nolan Kelly
I hope they have some goodies for us
yeah, I wasnt sure if this was the general at first
Gabriel Allen
Can they please just release the five books already?
Ayden Sullivan
Then do it, babe.
Leo Butler
Space Wolves used to be cool but became more wolves and less badass vikings over time and are now generally derided as furry trash.
Custodes and Grey Knights are both cool if that's what you're into, but they do fall victim to the stigma of playing 'the best of the best', the whitest of all white knights.
Kayden Ramirez
>custodes If you hate painting this is the way to go. You'll on average have no more than 20 miniatures in a 1500 pt game
>gay knights Ew
>space furries Ew x2
Anthony Watson
If you want the vanilla Space Marine feel, don't go Grey Knights. They're far more specialised and so less thematically flexible.
I've never looked at Custodes, but I imagine they suffer in the same way.
They're both cool armies in their own right though, so if they appeal, go with them.
Daniel Barnes
>Just purchased Imperial Armour for the Corsair rules, the Harlequin codex, Dark Eldar codex and supllement, Craftsworld codex and the campaign book that has ynnari rules >all obsolete >can't get a voucher for it
Oh well.
Brody Ward
The only way this could happen is if you bought the codices after the deadline for vouches went by, user.

>Custodes Alright army and you don't need to paint much stuff. Also lower model count than Space Marines.
>Grey Knights Weak army, but pretty good against Chaos Daemons.
>Space Wolves Good melee army, but you want to internally scream at GW for naming all of their units with wolf
David Richardson
Consider that the Dark Angels got their name irl from a poem from a famous gay poet, and that same poet is the origin of their primarch name
The custodes are not technically space marines and they have very few options, 3 iirc Grey Knights are pretty cool, but their fluff can easily lead itself to mary sue writing The Space Wolves, if you can overlook the overuse of the word "Wolf" in their weapons and titles, are pretty cool
Nathaniel Cooper
IIRC, they are similar to the Space Marines - part of the Imperium but also more or less independent.
Gavin Garcia
Fucking do it, imagine their movement stat m8. You'll be the flying mad max guy
Elijah Sullivan
How to fix Space Wolves:
Use fucking viking mythology shit for stuff
Brandon Smith
>le dark angels are le gay meme Fuck off, this shit is so fucking unfunny
>m-m-m-muh name! It's just a name you stupid fucks, stop sperging out about it.
Julian Williams
He just asked for an army an heterosexual would play. I thought it was important to have him know that the origin of one of the chapters he was interested in was not hetero
Nicholas Nguyen
Is that the tabletop simulator thing? How do you like it?
Bentley Thompson
Well that would really mean dropping the whole wolf thing completely - wolves weren't very well respected creatures, with even fenrir being a right dick.
Space Bears doesn't really have the same ring to it though.
Jayden Mitchell
They're space catholics who torture heretics and physically remove degenerate scum. They are the most hetero space marine chapter you can possible think of.
Hudson Baker
Space ravens? Play up the Odin angle, but that could basically make them into Norse thousand sons. You also already got blood ravens.
Christian Hall
Just grab some tipp-ex and go correct all the unit names to their 30k equivalents, so for example Wolf Priest becomes a Speaker of the Dead.
Elijah Wilson
Last question. Let's say I'm a meleefag. What army best uses loadsa melee fighters? Preferably with a shit ton of infantry because vehicles are for losers
Maybe I should just be playing Tyranids instead
Ayden Gomez
You don't get much more melee prowess than Deathwing and Ravenwing tbqh
Jaxon Richardson
The problem with that is that they already basically used all the most commonly known viking mythology elements already, and using less known ones would most likely fly over the head of most people For example Logan's chariot can be technically considered something coming from norse mythology, but they couldn't really create a new race of 8 legged horses for the sole purpose of pull the chariot, and using genetically modified goats would end up being even more ridiculous than using more wolves
Leo Diaz
Black Templars, Carcharodons.
Jacob Clark
Someone never read the poem they're named after then, the whole thing is about keeping the secret of being gay, which is reflected by the Dark Angels trying to keep secret that half their legion went heretic.
Matthew Thompson
wait for 8th edition to see how rules and models play out for each faction and to see if the numarines meme is true
Jacob Young
If you want to use strictly infantry you should go with either Black Templars, Blood Angels, Space Wolves or Carcharodons If riding bikes or "cavalry" is fine the best ones are Dark Angels and Space Wolves
Jason Morgan
Custodes is melee out the arse.
Andrew Roberts
Not all heretics are gay though, only the slaaneshi ones. And the Fallen are mostly Chaos Undivided.
Grayson Flores
>heretics confirmed gay
Eli Sullivan
>M8
But that's significantly slower than they are now and only 2" faster than spessmuhreens. Still, mad max elves sounds awesome.
I think I will.
Fuck it. This is why I'm not allowed to have money. It is done...
Nolan Miller
They don't appear as much interested in all the heretics as much as being focused on the ones knowing their dirty little secret The fact that they are gay
Landon Adams
Doesn't matter, it's a metaphor.
Sebastian Mitchell
Thanks everyone. Think I'll go with Black Templars or Custodes
Gavin Gomez
Fuck off you dumb little cunt I bet you're a fucking space wolves shill aren't you fucking ShareWolf faggot I'll beat you right the fuck up you space nigger faggot with your fucking shit reddit fucking meme go back to /r/Warhammer40k you fucking nigger Dicka Dicka heresy-online 1d4chan bullshit reddit reddit faggot jew jew jew jew jew please fucking kill yourself ShareWolf shill you nigger jew
Aiden Phillips
And because of the catholic angle, protestants are also heretics. Thanks Luther!
Jeremiah Powell
If you go custodes, make sure you get some of the cool FW units.
Christopher Howard
Grey Knights have some nifty melee. As I understand you can equip them with melee weapons that allow them to chew up hordes, smash tanks, or something in between.
Matthew Butler
M8 = mate
Evan Jenkins
Oh. Oh that makes sense, but let's be fair here because M8 is soon to be a stat.
Dominic Ramirez
While that's true Grey Knights are at their core a shooting army, it is their psycannons and stormbolters that win them games and not their force halberds.
John Clark
This outbursts don't really help your claim, you know?
Anthony Foster
Who knows, with 8th edition hitting soon?
Adam Cook
Fuck off ShareWolf with your shitty slide threads. Saged.
Cameron Lopez
True enough.
Liam Harris
With how 8th is changing heavy weapons to be fired at only -1 while on the move grey knights will likely end up ever shootier. The change from salvo to heavy really hurt their tacticals ability to fire psycannons.
Christian Wood
On a scale of 1 to 10, how badly did I fuck up by buying $300 worth of Deathwatch right before 8th Ed launch?
Aaron Russell
How?
Daniel Howard
Not really at all really, as long as you didn't buy any books.
Jaxson Richardson
Well, they can't get any worse™
Jonathan King
? out of 10 because literally nothing has be revealed about them.
Landon Reyes
If they do suffer just use regular SM rules but paint em up as deathwatch
Luke King
Weren't psycannons changed from assault to salvo?
William Gonzalez
>inb4 fag complaining that "muh muhreen don't have Deathwatch shoudler pad, Deathwatch have inquisition symbol all over their body, REEEEE"
Jayden Brown
Ah yeah you're right, been a while since I've played against grey knights.
Thomas Perez
Cool in looks, or rules? Because the Sagittarum Guard somehow manage to look even more goofily proportioned than the regular Custodes models, and the Contemptors went from awesome to decent when they decided to give them upscaled human melee weapons.
I guess there's the vehicles and jetbikes though.
Matthew Turner
Man that's just like your opinion man, I think they all look great and dreadnoughts wielding separate melee weapons is one of my favourite things.
The rules are also pretty dope though.
Thomas Sanchez
>spine fists will probably be pistols in 8th >spine gaunts >spine raveners >spine rippers
Owen Roberts
>>le dark angels are le gay meme >Fuck off, this shit is so fucking unfunny Yeah, not nearly as funny as people calling them "loyalists".
Brody Carter
Fuck off, ShareWolf, you lost the starter set election. Give up.
Jace Hernandez
That's actually a different user
Julian Bailey
>implying there aren't multiple ShareWolf shills How much is your employer Logan Grimnar paying you to shill for his shitty chapter?
Grayson White
I actually play Harlequins, and Salamanders when I want to have a chance to win
Still, Logan pays really well, but I suppose no amount of gold or promethium could beat Azrael's cock being up your ass, seeing how much you are fighting to be worthy of it
Gabriel Gomez
I'm not even those two other anons, I play Thousand Sons and would never suggest playing Space Wolves. It's just a fact that the Dark Angels are gay heretics.
Gabriel Cruz
We get it, you lost the Starter Set election. Go back to jerking off to Fall of Prospero while crying that you got turned into a shitty otherkin army.
Colton Peterson
>It's just a fact that the Dark Angels are gay heretics.
Just like the Emperor intended.
Jeremiah Ramirez
You recall incorrectly. Only adeptus astartes have that privilege which is why in hierarchy graphs adeptus astartes have a dotted line.
Jack Morris
I have my Primarch and a fancy new range of models, you do not.
Isaiah Wood
Your fancy new models are wearing fucking fursuits, you dumb ShareWolf shill. Please go back to /r/Fenris
Blake Fisher
Which chaos god has the best looking daemons?
currently sold miniatures only
Connor Ward
Tzeentch.
Gavin Sullivan
I will again remind you, Thousand Sons, we want Fenris to burn more than anyone.
Lucas Cox
Sorry for AoS crap in this thread but this article on formations and 'zoning' in AoS might be worth a read to inform on how new unit cohesion rules might work in 8th ed
