Warhammer 40k General /40kg/

So if i painted my Alpha Legion as a bunch of different chapters and even other legions you think someone would stroke out about it?

The Eldar Gods were defeated easily because they were weakened by the Eldar abandoning them.

If the Orks abandoned their gods in the same way the Eldar did, then they would fall as well.

>read new lore about Damocles
Holy shit why is IoM so incompetent? Should anyone take them serious anymore?

>Big Emps dies, new chaos god is born
>its Sigmar
>BTFOs chaosfags
>world is messed up by this and we go back to Fantasy ages

You should do it just to make some autist sperg out.

so, my local store is selling this guy (stock price so its pretty damn good) and i was wondering, since i really like this moderl i would like to paint him (and maybe convert it with an helmet headswap).

how much i would devalue it if i do this?

I don't think most people would have a problem with that, but I'm not sure how well it would look like on the tabletop, with all/most models being painted in different color schemes

I know I should get the reference of that pic but I can't remember......

A couple of threads ago someone asked me about my Coldstar poorboy kitbash. Here it is from the front.

Forgive the mold lines and slight excess glue. This is a WIP and those issues will be addressed.

Here's a rear shot. The thrust nozzles are from a Thunderbolt GM gunpla I had laying around.

well do you plan to sell it? if no, dont care about it.
I personally wouldnt convert limited run models at all but das jus me

I suppose this angle is more what it would look like cruising around town airspace.

>Imperium and Eldar are now allies
>That means that Imperium could actually use Webway to quickly deploy certain assets
>Custodes and Grey Knights would especially benefit from ability to quickly deploy through the galaxy while still being capable of reinforcing Imperial Place
>However, Magnus' defeat actually involved Harley permanently sealing Webway access point on Luna, this permanently crippling this strategic resource

Did it all went, dare I say, exactly as planned?

If you're planning on reselling it then don't bother with painting or swapping anything at all. If not then why ask?

>allies
Pretty sure the Ynnari are the only ones that are okay with Big Papa Smurf because Yvraine thought it was important. Most craftworld eldar see her as a heretic who's about to cause Slaanesh 2. A lot of the dark eldar, including all of the haemonculi coven, reeeeeeeeeeeeally want her dead. Harleys just do whatever Cegorach wants their troupe to do.

I wouldn't call that being allied with the eldar.

of coursh!

>more chaos wank
the years ahead are 'chaos chaos chaos' followed by an imperial asspull to save the day

...

That was barely an article. All we got was each god giving a bonus rule with no real discussion of what changes are being made.
There wasn't even enough in that text to be considered a wank for anything.

>If not then why ask?
i wanted to buy it for the painting fun, but im not a marine player so there is a good probability i will sell it in the future

Khorne gets +1S and +1A if they charge or are charged.

Tzeentch improves invulnerable save by 1. The LoC ends up with a 4+ invulnerable and 16 wounds. Seems kinda like splitting horrors need to have points set aside in advance similar to summoning.

Slaanesh has what is effectively rending. Their attacks have AP -4 if they roll a 6 to wound. They have a way to break the normal order of who strike first in melee.

Nurgle appears to have something akin to Feel No Pain. Nurglings in particular appear to still be infiltrators in some way and work as a disruptive unit.

i think i would keep the squads the same colors so like one squad would be blood angels another would be dark angels and so on. i wouldnt make every troop cause that would confuse even me.

just keep it as a collectible senpai

Literally just the current "Daemon of" bonuses, just Sigmarized. Probably their way of saying "We're nerfing daemons in to the goddamn ground,"

It was better than the CSM article.

>havocs don't see the tabletop often right now but they will soon!
>abaddon is less likely to kill himself
>berzerkers got more killy!

See you next time for another article with no substance!

Use a flaking paint effect. Like, the armor is painted like one chapter, but parts of it are flaking to reveal Alpha Legion colors or hydra imagery.

got my first 40K unit today (pic) because I am hyped for 8th. Going dark elder and this is the only unit I like the look of so much that I would take it even if its rules suck.

Any idea when we will see the rules for the game/units?

I don't want to spend any more $$$ until I've had a chance to look over the rules for everything.

See, that's why Chaos will always be the saturday morning cartoon villain. Nothing will ever happen with them around, always more "Yes, my plan of losing a billion cultists and thousands of Chaos Marines has finally come to fruitition, muahahaha!".
And if nothing can ever threaten the Chaos Gods, why bother playing at all? If nothing will ever have any lasting effect, why should I even whip out my dudes and pretend they fought some big battle at Whatsitcalled Prime?

Bold claim. Care to back it up, or are you just another HURR 8th Ed 40K = AoS v2 shitposter?

Nurgle's "daemon of" rule is not currently FnP.

I wish they stopped constantly upping the stakes in the fluff. If we don't stop now they will actually end up having models for Gork and Mork and Khorne and Nurgle traipsing around.

I wish they'd do a plastic version of this commander suit. It'd make me get back into tau for sure

about one month till release

Authors wanna write about mech suits with a mandate from GW that they can't suffer any lasting defeat.

They do have this awful habit of
>get ass kicked in a fight
>you FOOL, that was just a distraction for my secret objective that I have completed!
>This secret objective will soon push the imperium toward ruination! thousands of worlds will fall to chaos because of this!
>Immediately, completely forgotten about. Never ever mentioned again in any other book

This is exacty why GW should not have started advancing the setting, mistaking it for a story.

Well. I guess his idea of employing superweapon galore have proven to be a fructiful one with the Stormsurge, Supremacy etc.

>Authors wanna write about mech suits
Can't blame them.

you try to write a good, deep and unstupid chaotic evil faction

I can. Fucking weebs ...

Well. Since the Tau will no longer have all the eggs in one basket, maybe they will suffer bigger loses.

Also Fifth Sphere of Expansion.

The CSM article at least 99% confirmed that the KDK blood tithe point system is being ported to the main CSM book. The rest of it was just "this is gonna be so much better! How? Just wait and see :^)".

Might as well grab some kabalites for your cheap troop choice, since that's not going away. Venoms and at least a raider or two are pretty much universal. I'd hold off on the rest before we see what melee units are affected in what ways. Incubi are probably going to be pretty scary, wyches should be one of the fastest models in the game, grotesques are probably going to make people cry in melee unless someone starts shooting them from across the map.

Pretty much no info on when you'll know more. Looking at various bits of information it's likely we'll have an announcement either this month or early next month with the faction focus coming before then. Until then I'd just work on the basic filler units.

Kind of a silly post. More like:
>who would win?
>growing power with actual presence on an updated galaxy map?
>or
>aging and byzantine empire who's lifeblood is muddled by beauracracy and goes on through sheer momentum?

You might not like the Tau, but they are growing as a power. We'll see what happens since they're by so many Necron dynasties, but they are growing and that can't be denied.

On top of this, the Imperium is stagnation. Like, thematically. That's the point. Again, we'll see what happens because of the potential Secundus, but it doesn't matter how much they have if they can't bring it to bear.

Taking a second look a C:CD, I am thinking of a wierd mix of "Daemon of" and CSM marks. Applicable similarities are DoK gives Furious Charge and DoS gives rending, while Slaanesh units are at least I5. I could have sworn DoK had rage and counterattack, but I guess not.

>blood tithe gimmick ported to main book
>Slaanesh, Nurgle and Tzeentch marines chopping off heads in challanges for the glory of khorne
You better be joking.

>Never ever mentioned again in any other book

What do you call this?

Blood Tithe required the entire army take the Mark of Khorne or Daemon of Khorne if it could. I doubt that will change.

It's most likely going to be the faction bonus if your FoC is completely composed of HERETIC MARINES and KHORNE units

it will obviously only be for units with mark of khorne you imbecile

halp plez
For example, unit of assault marines from X company, but unit of tacs are from Y company etc

For Khorne units, user. Berserkers, really.

The hint was "Blood for the Blood God, oh my what will that actually do next edition ? Wait and find out !"

I somehow doubt anything that isn't Khorne related will have that rule/keyword ...

Keep wishing gue'vesa. :) Keep wishing. The only one that's ever going to defeat us is chaos Tau heresy after we conquer the universe.

it dosent matter how you painted your minis.

There are actual companies that are rounded out, they have their own devastators, assault marines, and tactical squads, but then there are also reserve companies made entirely out of either tacticals, assaults or devastators for the specific purpose of filling out other companies' forces.

>being condescending to anti-tau sympathy
>use the phrase for humans who are okay with tau
Step it up.

10,000 years of "just as planned" and "I destroyed planet WillNeverBeMentionedAgain in Sector LiterallyJustMadeUp, fear me you imperial fools"

>Also Fifth Sphere of Expansion
Talk about not suffering lasting losses. We learned about the 5th sphere was underway before we ever even heard that the 4th sphere had a problem.

attempt nr13

Oh what, just like champion of chaos is just for khorne? you dunderhead.

>J'O'hn Cen'a
>He's using the A'ttit'au'd A'djus'tmen't
>BAH DA GREATA GOOD ALMIGHTY HE'S BROKEN IN HALF

That is literally how it works, unless you mean chapters. 1st company is your veterans/terminators, 2-6 is all purpose, 6-9 is your reserve companies, and 10 is your scouts.

If you're talking about mixing chapters and chapter tactics, that's a bit fucky and I'm pretty sure you can't mix them in the same detachment. Multiple detachments, sure. That's just allies. Not sure about 8th yet.

Tau cyborg-ninjas when?

There is a theory the Tau are under a time warp after the big rift happened. No hard proof, but it would explain making two entire spheres of expansion fleets in like 5 years.

OR they fuck like bunny rabbits and can rebound from losses like the Krogan. Which would be awesome and funny.

Maybe they're like the Soviet Union, they try to build new stuff faster than the old stuff crumbles away at their feet.

So what will happen to DW Kill Teams now that formations are dead ? They'll turn them into a troop choice with other specialists as upgrade options ?

k
alright thanks bud

are you literally a fucking mental patient? you actually think that tzeentch sorcerers will get to use the blood tithe rules?

an expansion fleet doesn't have to be like 50% of the population. there's no reason they can't have more than one operating at a time

Anyone? My main knowledge of Marine forces is that the vast majority of them dislike Phosphor Blasters to the face, so I don't really know what I'm doing here.

Deathwatch will be their own army and you will just have to deal with having like 3 options in your whole army.

anyone got that image of the walking dead meme of carl being called a bitch but replacing the faces with the emperor?

Their lifespan is about 40 years. Every 4 years, they are promoted, if they pass the Trial by Fire.

time fuckery would make tau much more interesting although it has to be kept subtle ie. no fire warriors in the horus heresy or tau creating itself

>deathwatch detachment
4-8 elites
gives 1 command point

>Firewarriors are child soldiers.

>MoT increases invu by one
>lmao 4++ Rubrics
>lmao 3++ against 1D Rubrics

gotcha
still figuring out this whole chapter thing

Inquisition, imperial, astartes faction keywords most likely

True, but initial expansion fleets typically tend to be larger than usual since they need to seed many planets in an area. While it might not have been 50% big it probably would have represented a sizable amount of their force.

The idea why I like having a huge fleet lost is they can have multiple things happen. Half the fleet turns into Chaos Tau. A quarter of the fleet set up a small Enclaves far away ect. Or they could even show up in plot events that happen on the other side of the galaxy or whatever.

It just allows so much more story telling opportunity.

They very well could if one of GWs less talented or attentive writers does the book, you diminutive frog-legged fool.

Yeah I know, but who says they can't reproduce like 6 times a year and grow up in under a year?

I think it's said somewhere that they use cloning technology.

>Child soldiers in mech suits
I just watched that anime.

they don't have MoT
