Warhammer 40k General /40kg/

That looks like a pretty tight fit.

The crisis suit wouldn't be too roomy either

Will grenades exist in 8th edition?

Seems odd that there's been no mention of them at all and the only data sheet we've seen doesn't have them (thousand sons never did have the usual frag and krak, but sorcerers could take melta bombs before).

Could well see them being the kind of extra detail that they drop to streamline the system.

THERE ARE STILL POINTS YOU FUCKER
AND EVEN AOS HAS POINTS
HOLY SHIT YOU DON'T KNOX WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST
READ
THE
FUCKING
THING

I can actually see the Poison rule being replaced by mortal wounds, or maby just multiple damage wounds

So we will see the point values in quasi-General's Handbook or faction Codices? That's pretty bad desu - I hoped that they will pack everything on free datasheets like in AoS but with points for units too
No, AoS has only points for units - not for wargear like weapons and shit

>AoS started without points.
>Notthefirsttime.jpg

That's larger compared to the fire warrior than actual crisis suits are. I think they're piloted from fetal position or something.

could be limited to defensive grenades that give you some bonus if you are charged, and offensive grenades that give you some bonus when you charge

Are Tau midgets or are truescale crisis suits the same size as Dreadnaughts?

>So we will see the point values in quasi-General's Handbook or faction Codices?

Probably. I mean it's not like we didn't have to buy codexes before, that there are any free rules to begin with is something almost nobody ever expected out of GW.

units and battalions*

>truescale

I want that fucking meme to die.

Have they said if the core rules are supposed to be free like with AoS?

>Hey guys it the new GW TM here today with the brand new rules for our favourite green creatures, the Orkz!
>Now we know that they were really good last edition, so in this edition were making them a bit more fair in this edition.
>So the universal stats for Orks are all now T3, BS6+, M2 and WS3.
>But don't fret too much Ork players, the new Gorkanauts (or possibly Morkanauts XD) are BS5+!
>Have a nice WAAAGH!!! and tomorrow we wil be back with the Tau and their respective buffs for the new edition!

Posting again if anyone wants to meme my poorly drawn Space Marine. Got some funny results a thread ago.

What meme?

It would be a tight fit regardless.

>this edition we're*

>40k is literally being re-written by Frontline Gaming of all people

How is no one talking about this?

Why do they chose now to pander to the tourneycucks after all these years? could they suck Reece's dick any more on the community site jesus christ

I'm almost willing to bet that they just redacted the points from the real profile and tomorrow when we come back we will see a sheet with both power level (for Narrative and Open) and Points (for Matched)

Oh I don't mind buying codices - there are no point values in AoS battletomes and I have still bought one for fluff and because they are neat as fuck so I'm okay with this. I just hoped that they will include everything important on datasheets like all unit rules and point values both for units and gear - AoS warscrolls are perfect and only con is lack of point values. I know that they wanted to do an experiment with GHB but I hoped they will not do it again with 40k

Was Corax an actual "nice" guy? (having in count how the primarchs were)

stop trying to force this meme, no one cares about your drawing

why is his torso on backwards?

It's easier to reprint and adjust point costs in just the 40k equivalent of the general's handbook than redoing every data sheet every time. They'll be doing the same thing they're doing with the general's handbook and be balancing on more frequently. This is good.

See you blind boy
Fire Warrior models come up to around the top of the thigh armor plate

Hey, I thought it was a dumb little thing that was meant to facilitate some humorous community interaction. I couldn't care less if I made a meme slightly successful on a Siberian spear fishing forum.

warhammer-community.com/2017/04/22/the-new-edition-of-warhammer-40000-your-questions-answeredgw-homepage-post-2/

Not really. He sent the Imperial Army general who came to save him from Istvann on a suicide mission after he found out he knew Corax needed saving because of a dream.
And said that the Raptors were no longer considered RG because they killed some wulfen who weren't being sublte about their plan to kill Corax rather than guard him as Russ told them to, after seeing the Raptors.

Corax is a dick.

Whut animu da-

Was going to post that, but decided to search instead.
Decided to post anyway so everyone knows I reverse searched it before posting, and therefore have now transcended.

Take note that they asked the tournament organisers to playtest their shit. You know, those guys who have been trying to keep 40k at least a little bit balanced with comps and special requirements and such.

Also, a player that does all the calculations and plays on a very competative level will be better at telling you what is OP or doesn't work, compared to somebody who just throws models on a table in his garage, cracks open a beer, and just wings half the rules.

I thought Tau used joysticks instead of jacking in.

That's probably why that suit pilot is waving at the fire warrior, she needs to borrow his joystick.

That would have made them walkers instead of mc.

Do you have to wait for the next version of the GHB to get point values for new models?

why? both dreads and dredds are jacked in.

>muh beer and pretzels

Nigger the average Veeky Forums poster could shit out a better codex than the GW writers. the average Veeky Forums poster DOES

Tournament players are the ones who can't design a game because as soon as something isn't fully optimized they don't give a shit, it's a wonder they even want to leave 7th at all

8th will be a game for passionless cunts, but that suits you so i can see why you're not worried.

No those are typically released simultaneously with a battletome, and those points are rolled into the next GHB

Pentinent engine and dragoon too.

No - it should be updated in App but sometimes GW just forgot about some units like rat swarms

Drop a link when you sell your army.
Untill then: Whatever

Make sure to make a webm of your army set on fire for us before you kill yourself

As I said before.

GW mostly asked tournament ORGANISERS to playtest 8th edtion. Tournament organiser =/= tournament player. Comprehend ?

This guy has it right.

Please be one of those losers who flipped their shit when AoS dropped and destroy your investment into shitty plastic crack because you're fucking anally annihilated

>average Veeky Forums poster could shit out a better codex
From the shit I've seen posted here I can confidently call you a delusional faggot.
You are a delusional faggot

rip. picturesforsadchildren.

You were the only decent webcomic made by a sad failure.

MFW everyday they put out new rules that make the fluffy armies I've run for years actually useful in the crunch.

Enjoy your fluffbunny armies become the fotm cancer ruining games.

You mean people will sperg about an idea and force a thread to be deleted?
"Maybe movements+d6 could work"
50+ replaying bitching about M+d6

You can't make discussion during USA time. They have the highest concentration of autistic and sperging cunts per capita

...

How foolish of me i thought there were problems, but instead all is perfect much like every unit in 8th amirite

I forgot, this IS New Games workshop™ after all!

>You mean people will sperg about an idea and force a thread to be deleted?

You mean the thread that was on page 11 anyway? Stop trying to drag dumb arguments from a previous thread into a new one.

...Isn't that what we do every new edition?

So what army are you selling tonight ?

Wait people use pages? Strange, why would they when glorious catalog view exists?

It says the page number in the bottom right. You can tell what page a thread is on and how close it is to falling off the board easily.

>was wrong about a point of contention
>thinks Veeky Forums is a bastion of rules geniuses not just a bunch of autistic losers who don't even play the games they talk about
>didn't bring any real points of discussion or contention with any rules in particular just "but muh tournament organizers are cancer"
>gets annoyed when his point is dismissed with "muh beer and pretzels"

Maybe bring forward something to actually talk about? Then we can, you know, talk about it?

Because chrome explodes when I try to load the catalog.

Listbuilding and gameplay balance is a joke right now, and you know it.

The average Veeky Forums poster has always been and will always be an imbecile.

>GW literally admits Eldar are getting a nerf
>waacfags overwhelmingly btfo
>Aeldari

You wish faggot, might have some painted shit in your force for once.

Gb2WHFB general where this bait actually flies fami

No one's nerfed since everything has changed, cheetahfag.

It IS funny to poke at eldars, though

So if we haven't already dismissed 8E as a total disaster, we must think GW is perfect?

Most of us are just hoping it'll be better than 7, which is a pretty low bar to clear. And the fact that they actually have playtesters should at least limit the amount of totally broken bullshit.

>I can actually use my Avatar in 8th

don't care about any jetbike or psyker nerfs anymore

>Eldar to Aledari
>Tau to T'au
>Imperium to Dark Imperium

What does all of this mean?

>GW literally admits they are a broken monobuild army
>we're not getting nerf-raped, I swear!
Way too fucking funny.

But Mr. Cheetahfag, they buff them more!

The name is still silly.

I apreciate the effort, user. Saved, and will probably do something with it later.

>the average Veeky Forums poster DOES

Most Veeky Forums homebrews I saw from 7e used Wraithknights and Riptides as the balancing point of what a MC / GC should be.

>Not treating them as outliers and trying to balance their amongst the other 99% of 40K

What nerfs did you see from their preview? All I saw were
>We're buffing your "Okay" units

Probably branding stuff. I don't think it means all that much as they understand the common vernacular will still be Eldar, Tau, Imperium, Space Marine instead of Adeptus Astartes, Imperial Guard instead of Astra Militarum, etc.

Not silly, just hilariously fitting. The designated faggot faction gets the name out of a tumblr furfiction.

>Aeldari
top kek

More fitting, fluffy names for all factions my man.

>Orks preview
>Oh, let's look on Grotsnik!
>He's soo MaD that he have 5+ fnp while he have 6+.
>Wooh! So orky!

>can Overwatch
>can run
>Better AP
>No dumb Warpflame rule
>Warpflamers are actually really good
>Aspiring Sorcerer has actually useful spells he can actually use
>He also gets other Force weapons, all of which are beastly as fuck

I'm loving these Rubric changes.

Not that user, but they didn't show any nerf quite obviously. I wouldn't really feel much love for the new edition if the article about my army said "Everything you use is now worse"

However they acknowledge the units that are most infamously overpowered in the codex, which would most likely mean that they have been rebalanced
Maybe not enough, but at least they'll not be as retarded as now

Definitely branding matters. Just like Imperial Guard was renamed to "Astra Millitarum".
Or like when tyranid players had to wait an entire edition to get overpriced models for the Mycetic spore (renamed for a name THIS stupid that I can't even remember it without looking it up), when kinder eggs and converted toys where doing the job just fine.

>useful spells
>1 mortal wound

Don't forget about reaper cannon having the same AP modifier as a lascannon.

Also warpflame pistol on aspiring sorcerer is gonna help a lot when your rubrics are stuck in melee.

>tumblr furfiction
Eh? I thought it was just them trying to give it a more Latin-sounding version because that's "cooler"

Is this another case like /co/'s Ironheart?

That's practically guaranteed damage. You deal free mortal wound each turn that also forces morale tests at the end of turn.

>Aeldari
>'latin'
This is what eldacuck players actually believe.

>Don't forget about reaper cannon having the same AP modifier as a lascannon.
This probably means that "rending" will translate into an additional -1AP, considering that the soulreaper cannons were AP3 and rending in the previous edition

Didn't Tolkien make up the word Eldar?

When did this happen? i just see a bunch of Age of sigmar-tier replies going
>"haha burn/sell ur army now fgt XDDD"

modern Veeky Forums is full of unironic gw-cucks so im not surprised at all though

So he can remove one model instead of just wanking around while providing Warp Charges for alpha psykers?
Yeah, they look pretty brutal. They might end up being overcosted, but at least now they are actually beastly.

I mean, just the fact that it doesn't require a warp charge and is on average a free wound with no saves against whatever is close by is nice. Plus you'll get another spell from the table on top of that.

Really, just the fact that it's more than a warp charge battery is nice.

Tbf, impericucks are just as bad with their high gothic that sounds like it was written by a very very stupid 7th grader being forced to take classical latin.

>that "rending" will translate into an additional -1AP, considering that the soulreaper cannons were AP3 and rending in the previous edition

That's what I was thinking too. We'll see when Assault Cannons pop out.
S6 AP-2 Heavy 4 will do nicely.

Potentially fixed the purchase of Soulreaper Cannons too. Seems to be worded similar to Noise marines rather than "If the unit numbers 10 or more..."

That just their stock free spell, I imagine they'll still have access to the Tzeench discipline.
