Buy miniatures to remove them from the table edition

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.

Its not Age of Strife anymore.

get. over. it. faggot. cunt.

FEMALE SPACE WOOFS

for breeding purposes

fuck off stupid furry

I've never played 40k and I want to use spess muhreens. What's a chapter a respectable heterosexual would use?

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?

dark angels

It really doesn't matter unless you want special rules and shit for things like Black Templars or Blood Angels.

Play Minotaurs to bully other Space Marines.

>heterosexual
Well they are Greek so that may actually be a problem.

Black Templars, Iron Hands, Lamenters or Flesh Tearers.

Minotaurs, Dark Angels, and Black Templar look cool. How about Custodes, Grey Knights, or Space Wolves? How are they?

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.

I hope they have some goodies for us

yeah, I wasnt sure if this was the general at first

Can they please just release the five books already?

Then do it, babe.

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.

>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

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.

>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.

The only way this could happen is if you bought the codices after the deadline for vouches went by, user.

SPACE FORTUNE COOKIE

>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

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

IIRC, they are similar to the Space Marines - part of the Imperium but also more or less independent.

Fucking do it, imagine their movement stat m8. You'll be the flying mad max guy

How to fix Space Wolves:

Use fucking viking mythology shit for stuff

>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.

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

Is that the tabletop simulator thing? How do you like it?

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.

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.

Space ravens? Play up the Odin angle, but that could basically make them into Norse thousand sons. You also already got blood ravens.

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.

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

You don't get much more melee prowess than Deathwing and Ravenwing tbqh

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

Black Templars, Carcharodons.

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.

wait for 8th edition to see how rules and models play out for each faction and to see if the numarines meme is true

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

Custodes is melee out the arse.

Not all heretics are gay though, only the slaaneshi ones. And the Fallen are mostly Chaos Undivided.

>heretics confirmed gay

>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...

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

Doesn't matter, it's a metaphor.

Thanks everyone. Think I'll go with Black Templars or Custodes

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

And because of the catholic angle, protestants are also heretics. Thanks Luther!

If you go custodes, make sure you get some of the cool FW units.

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.

M8 = mate

Oh. Oh that makes sense, but let's be fair here because M8 is soon to be a stat.

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.

This outbursts don't really help your claim, you know?

Who knows, with 8th edition hitting soon?

Fuck off ShareWolf with your shitty slide threads. Saged.

True enough.

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.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how badly did I fuck up by buying $300 worth of Deathwatch right before 8th Ed launch?

How?

Not really at all really, as long as you didn't buy any books.

Well, they can't get any worse™

? out of 10 because literally nothing has be revealed about them.

If they do suffer just use regular SM rules but paint em up as deathwatch

Weren't psycannons changed from assault to salvo?

>inb4 fag complaining that "muh muhreen don't have Deathwatch shoudler pad, Deathwatch have inquisition symbol all over their body, REEEEE"

Ah yeah you're right, been a while since I've played against grey knights.

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.

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.

>spine fists will probably be pistols in 8th
>spine gaunts
>spine raveners
>spine rippers

>>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".

Fuck off, ShareWolf, you lost the starter set election. Give up.

That's actually a different user

>implying there aren't multiple ShareWolf shills
How much is your employer Logan Grimnar paying you to shill for his shitty chapter?

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

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.

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.

>It's just a fact that the Dark Angels are gay heretics.

Just like the Emperor intended.

You recall incorrectly. Only adeptus astartes have that privilege which is why in hierarchy graphs adeptus astartes have a dotted line.

I have my Primarch and a fancy new range of models, you do not.

Your fancy new models are wearing fucking fursuits, you dumb ShareWolf shill. Please go back to /r/Fenris

Which chaos god has the best looking daemons?

currently sold miniatures only

Tzeentch.

I will again remind you, Thousand Sons, we want Fenris to burn more than anyone.

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

>FELLOW SPACE WOLVES ENEMY HERE
>FUCK LIONMPF AND FUCK DARK ANGELS AMIRITE
Your shilling doesn't work here ShareWolf

Its pretty good. Models are just Dawn of War ports, but its enough.

Our Hatred (Space Marines) applies to Space Wolves as much as Dark Angels.
