>aiming at a fucking huge primarch with unmistakable baroque shining armor and giant flaming sword is too hard unless he's directly in front of your face
>horde armies are going to be able to protect their characters efficiently >Orks, Nids, and Guardsmen actually getting something nice Okay but what about armies that rely on small specialist squads?
Jordan Jenkins
Nth for Magnusstar with over. Dozen wounds
Henry Roberts
Just think of it as all the dudes around him lining up to take the hits for him, like an automatic look out sir.
Nathan Sanchez
welcome to second edition bitch
Samuel Morris
It's only for certain characters with ten wounds or less. They give the example that Magnus can still be targeted anywhere because he's big as fuck
Luis Wright
>tfw a few Psykers could rip a titan in half with a few Smites Oh boy I can't wait to be the only Daemons player not running Tzeentch.
Jose Martinez
>Nids, Orks, and IG not BTFO by today's news
The natural order has been tampered with
Asher Barnes
Specialists work alone.
Hudson Cox
Only the tyrant guard will get to protect the hive tyrant. Gaunts are too small to do it, just fucking watch they'll do; >Hive Tyrant will have 11 wounds because fuck nids
Nathaniel Sanchez
One smite per turn doesn't seem scary.
Samuel Garcia
3rd you could just take a leadership test to ignore target priorities.
Brayden Howard
heroic intervention looks like one of those gimmicks you don't get to use often
what do you all think?
post kino colour schemes
Lucas Rivera
It's a bunch of really angry blue pauldrons shooting if your general direction. Aiming is hard.
Chase Jones
I wonder if they'll give snipers a special rule that let's them target characters anyway.
Cooper Ross
>implying anything bigger than raveners/warriors wont have exactly 11 wounds
Evan Smith
>Kroot Shapers are now HQ
The time of Kroot-only armies has come
Kayden Campbell
What would be the point of snipers otherwise?
Benjamin Peterson
So what's the general consensus on 8th Ed so far?
Andrew Sanchez
>He thinks you'll be able to cast the same power more than once.
I know the average Grognard on Veeky Forums treats AoS like a Vampire treats garlic, but if you just glanced at the rules you'll see a lot of things to expect in 8th edition.
tl;dr: calm down autismo
Jacob Stewart
I thought it just meant that HQ fight together with their armies without the need to make charge rolls for them too
Liam Sanchez
Wounding on 4, rending?
Gavin Young
NOBZ IN A NAUT
Adam Cox
discribe your favorite independent character in 40k with "muh [blank]" ill start >Ahriman >Muh Tragic downfall
Carson Butler
Kroot uprising soon?!
Luis Hill
>Magnus >dint do nuffin
Angel Walker
Lets not.
Alexander Lee
ahrimans story has been well handled, and hes had good character development.
Chase Martinez
>one smite per turn >per psyker Pink Horrors and Rubric Marines are going to be stronk Tell me where it says two different psykers can't cast the same power? Because I just double checked and it looks like they implied the exact opposite.
Chase Walker
i think it can be described as excited but nervous i for one am mega hyped and haven't seen anything that doesn't excite me
Zachary Cooper
>betraying your bonds of loyalty We're not humans.
Gabriel Green
>a few >implying Titans are definitely going to be in the 100 wounds range. Assuming you can get a 10+ on every smite and always roll a 6, you're still going to have to cast it 16.666... Times. Statistically you'll need to cast it 50.7 times, and that's assuming that titans don't have something like a 2+ save against mortal wounds, which they undoubtedly will.
I assure you user, daemonspam downing titans is nothing to worry about.
Adrian Wilson
They're memeing about Sigmar because they're salty about Fantasy.
Oliver Morgan
>both my juggerlord and flying prince will be impossible to target unless they're already on my oponent's face >mfw BEST E D I T I O N
Jackson Garcia
but how?
if they don't charge they will be several inches away from a fight, probably more than the 3" of consolidation if they charge after an infantry unit this last one may have already covered the front to come in contact with if the charge first they will get a full overwatch
It seems very situational to me
Juan Smith
we're what we eat
Chase King
It's basically extra charge range for your characters if your other dudes made it to the fight without him.
Chase Torres
>implying You all are fools if you don't realize this change means sniper weapons will have a special rule allowing them to target whoever they want. Which is both fluffy, and actually gives people a reason to feild ratlings, vindicares or sniper scouts.
Jacob Reyes
Never mind, it's free counter-charge for your characters.
Easton Davis
>we're what we eat
Wait, does that mean that if you have a GF you become a pussy ?
Angel Hill
They have not stated as the rule exactly work, but for example it can work if the unit with the HQ is assaulted Your opponent may not want to fight that HQ, because he's hard as fuck/is extremely strong With that rule they can't avoid it easily, because the HQ can reach combat on his own
Jaxon Young
Unless every army has a sniper unit I don't see that happening.
Ayden Rivera
Go back to plebbit
Parker Sullivan
>he haven't seen krootmittens
Nicholas Hill
>muh spooky scary snipers top kek
Gavin Hill
I wonder if that also works in your own turn. Like : >Unit charges enemy >Character is very close but didn't charge >Can still pile into the combat, without any overwatch coming his way.
Zachary Barnes
If they're surrounded by dudes, which considering the bubble of buffs they should be, there's a good chance they'll be right behind guys getting charged at some point. That's what it's for. 3" consolidation doesn't matter when they're behind a row where you physically can't get to him. I'm not sure why you'd have a guy who's invincible unless he's the closest model to the enemy and put him standing in the front right next to your guys instead of behind them.
Hudson Butler
>he really thinks that there will be no way to counter the "you can't shoot ICs unless their closest" rule
Justin Kelly
>Durrrr step into a time machine and reveal the rules for 8th edition right now
Okay i will.
Kroot Shaman know every power of the psykers they kill in cc
BECAUSE 8TH IS KROOT EDITION
Kevin Powell
Anyone have any ideas on how to build a better looking Noise Marine out of GW parts?
John Jenkins
>tfw Tervigons will become impossible to target I wish they had acess to Fleshborer Hives.
Adam Taylor
No, one per turn, full stop.
Rule of one.
Easton Turner
>strawmaning this hard to avoid looking retarded sides orbiting jupiter right now
Kevin Flores
I'm ready for Commissars to be squad upgrades like in 5th and I'm ready for Straken to be a beast and giving out combat buffs. Gonna be 5th all over again for Guard.
Nathaniel Sullivan
Yes, snipers will have a retarded as fuck gimmick to shoot at ICs, they'll also be like a -1 AP and one shot each, which means most ICs won't give a single fuck
Jason Morgan
So they start with Smite and are barely ever actually useful? What rule of one?
Brandon Cox
Tell me about your dudes /40kg/
Matthew Jenkins
If that happens I'll take it. I'll go from 4 wounds to 11, which doesn't particularly make sense considering Girlyman went from six wounds to nine.
Evan Davis
Use forge world parts
Levi Reyes
>implying Please user, do explain why you think sniper weapons and other forms of precision shot won't keep the only thing that makes them even marginally worth taking, especially when that benefit is actually useful now. Go ahead, explain why you're such a tard thst you laugh at sniper weapons doing what sniper weapons already do, except now that's useful
Landon Brown
>Kharn will now be immune to shooting unless you're already on his charge range
Ethan Long
They're red
Jacob Campbell
my dudes > your dudes
Carson Murphy
girlyman gets to hide behind scouts. Hive tyrant only gets tyrant guard.
Jack Williams
My dudes > your dudes in certain ways, but my dudes < your dudes in others because we all have weaknesses and strengths that shine in different ways

Nicholas Thompson

Zachary Gray

Dude just stop trying to poison the thread with such a bullshit speculative argument
Ian Green
AoS rule of one. Only one can cast a specific spell per turn.

Owen Carter
Jojo reference?
Jason Myers
Man just stfu already
Ryder Baker
Well that's even stupider. Two psykers know the same power. "Quick, cast smite on the enemy." "I can't, someone on our team already cast that power!"
Lucas Brown
I guess you've never seen a Veeky Forums girl before
Gabriel King
>S3 wounding T5 on 3+ and being wounded by S5 on 3+ >5+ saves will actually be taken against small arms now >IG officers will inevitably keep their command squads
AGE OF IG
Lincoln Torres
Yesssddd
Henry Watson
I think commissars will squad upgrades and commissar lords will be characters.
Michael Kelly
Why insta death isn't a thing and moral is off models killed not wounds dealt. Even if he magically kills one they will have a led 7+ so even if they roll a six the rest of the squad is fine.
Jaxson Stewart
How did Jolyne Get out of prison?
Landon Baker
She looks like she got hit with a machete.
Isaac Adams
Don't like it play open or narrative, they don't have that restriction.
Bentley Thompson
>Tau Auxiliaries Codex
YES
Parker Murphy
Good news everyone! The commissariat just learned a new tactic that lets them shoot anyone for cowardice! They're no longer confined to the 10-20 people they squaddie up with. What do you think of that?
>Every guardsman in the mess vomits in terror
Jose Foster
There was one at my last LGS, she came in with her husband and played nids
Before that i knew a girl who came in with her boyfriend and played necrons
One of my coworkers has a girlfriend who wanted to play space marines. They never showed up in the LGS though.
Benjamin Moore
Do we know if wound-allocation is still 'closest to attacking models first'?
Leo Young
Sometimes you have to sacrifice fluff for balance dude, it's why space marines aren't T5 with 3 wounds each
David Allen
No, she looks like she has a correct distruction of fat and muscle. git gut fatty
Owen Gutierrez
>MFW I deploy 2 10 man ratling squads to deal with ICs

Nope, no idea what it will be.
