Warhammer 40k General /40kg/

Really want to see faction specific strats. I wonder if any faction special rules will be rolled into them.

>Impying there are elves that aren't sluts

fix the last link you lazy bumfuck

I could see Acts of Faith being shifted into them, since then you can have the individual acts apply to any sisters unit instead.

>implying bellysaurus isn't the best
there's also that other fully armored elf that's better than yvraine

I didn't imply otherwise.

I'm working on some fluff to give a golden Necron army an excuse for being golden. Here's what I got:

The Golden Contingent (named Fool's Profit by the Imperium) is a force of gold-plated Necrons under command of Trazyn the Infinite. Their objective; to obtain ALL of the gold in the galaxy for Trazyn's collection, through whatever means necessary.

Raids on wealthy hive world's are frequent, and it is suspected that Trazyn plans to one day sack Holy Terra and add The Imperial Palace to his collection.

Rumor has it that the Golden Contingent has a small squadron of Aeonic Orbs, on which they are experimenting with using the stars contained within to fusion some gold up.

Tl;Dr they love goooooooold

So a LoC has 16 wounds and a 4 ++ according to the new article. Are we expecting Magnus to have more or less this statline as well? because christ that sounds strong.

Probably at least as many wounds as the LoC, maybe even more considering Magnus has more wounds than a LoC at this moment.

A good hit with a battlecannon means the LoC instantly dies though.

So I wonder, will they introduce a rule that stops big models from being wounded by weaker weapons ? Say something like:

>behemot of war (X): this model can't be wounder with a weapon with strength of X or less

If not, will stuff like Knight armies become more acceptable once even a lasgun can wound them ?

It was mentioned in the Characters article that magnus has at least 12+ wounds, so yeah very likely he'll be tough as nails.

that's so fucking awful

Plastic Sisters in 8th?

>Their objective; to obtain ALL of the gold in the galaxy for Trazyn's collection
?

>A good hit with a battlecannon means the LoC instantly dies though.
You realize that statistically you will probably never see this happen ever in your entire life, right?

It's possible they'll get rules similar to Rubric Marines, +1 to all saves if the gun doesn't meet a requirement.

after all this stuff that has been revealed, why would they. are you stupid?

Since you need something like 500 guardsmen with FRFSRF to kill a Land Raider, I don't think it matters.

They might just get a rule similar to what Rubrics did, letting them re-roll their 2+ armor save against any weapons that only deal 1 damage or whatever, but I can't see them being immune.

>Plastic Sisters

> Knight costs 250 pts
> You need over 1000 points of lasguns to kill a Knight
> Knight players complain that they can be killed by lasguns

Plastic Sisters never so I can continue feasting on your delicious tears.

Everything being able to hurt everything (in theory) being one of the first things mentioned, I doubt there will be rules that make models truely invincible against certain weapons.
The idea behind it is most likely to make things like Imperial Knight armies less binary and more enjoyable to play against. Hopefully that will be the case, even if it takes more lasguns that you can fit guarsmen on a table to kill multiple knights with just Imperial flashlights.

I guarantee you at least two of the Thousand Sons ones will involve auto passing psy tests and ignoring perils.

Not the plan, at least not in regular games. Who knows what's going to happen with apocalypse stuff when you're dealing with titans.

However in normal games it's not gonna happen, they want anything to be able to wound anything in a normal game. That's intentional.

I've seen 5 grots defeat a hive tyrant in close combat.

Never trust your dice.

Just make them directly subservient to the Silent King, the Triarch Pretorians are already clad in gold after all.

>2CP - for the entire psychic phase roll an additional dice when manifesting psychic powers and discard the lowest.

You know gold isn't just slabs of metal used to build the palace, but an element that shows up everywhere, right? Oceans could have gold filtered out of them, just not in any way approaching efficiency.

It's like a middle-schooler had a silly idea and tried to explain it without thinking about it at all. I know a lot of 40k shit doesn't mix in fluff but that's just bad.

Can/should I get into 40k if I'm a poor fag?

Do you have a couple hundred dollars to spend on a small army?

You can get 1000-1500pts with $200 depending on faction/availability of second hand armies

Can: Sure. just buy a Start Collecting and play some small games. They are fun.
Should: Eh. Depends on your willpower. You will want to buy more units, if you can spend 40 a months or save up for 100 once, then go for it.

Someday user, someday...

Do you think you have the money to spare?
Because even a fairly simple army can costs hundreds of dollars.

If you're still interested you might want to look into whether anyone in your area plays Shadow War Armageddon as that's a lot cheaper to play.

Fuck off and play donut steel pirate orks instead

He could add a bit where he mentions that the Necrons would melt down entire world's, just for a few pounds of gold.

Shadow war might be more your deal while you slowly build up a small army, theres a general thread up right now and they have all the rules scanned along with links to printable tokens and stuff.

They only really seem to mention commanders adding points and missions giving certain unique command abilities, but do you think certain armies/commanders might get different abilities too? i.e. a destiny dice like system for Thousand Sons
Also, if armies got their own abilities what do you think some of them might get?

The idea was already dumb enough as is.

I could see some rule that gives FNP-like extra save against weapons that meets certain criteria (s

Except that would be just as if not even more retarded... Trazyn isn't even interested in gold. He's interested in SCIENTIFIC relics.

makes way more sense. Even the third edition dex had golden necrons in it. It's just metallics from a different world meant to make them look ornate.

Why are you like this? :(

Never lose faith Sister...
Never...
The Emperor protects

ALL gold is a bit excessive

Add some unfathomable mumbo jumbo like him actually wanting only all gold that traces back to a certain quantum frequency or that made up some rare old one artifact that got shattered through the galaxy during the war in heaven

>wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Emperor_of_Mankind
>One account of the Emperor's origin goes so far as to say that he had mortal brothers and sisters and details the time and location of his birthplace - eight thousand years before the first millennium, in a primitive village along the banks of the Sakarya River.
>The Sakarya (Turkish: Sakarya Irmağı, Greek: Σαγγάριος, Sangarios) is the third longest river in Turkey.
When did you find out that the Emperor is a fucking roach?

Please don't. I don't want you to come back to these threads saying how terrible GW is for selling a box of Tac Marines for $50 because you want an entire army all at once instead of buying it piecemeal.

And I don't want you to come back here praising 'Based Chinaman' like a tool when you start buying FW from a recaster instead of doing the right thing and buying it direct from FW.

People seem to be quite concerned that "anything can hurt anything", but I think they idea that they're going for it that yes, lasguns CAN hurt a land raider, but instead of doing perhaps 1 or 2 wounds to a 24-wound land raider per turn you should perhaps focus on something else

>doing the right thing
>overpaying for resin models

how about no

>tripfag
>reddit spacing
how about no

Did you never wonder why he wasn't blond with blue eyes?

Because his appearance is obviously based on Conan the Barbarian?

Lore question: Why do ynnari soulburst when non-aeldari die? How do they utilize the souls of non-aeldari?

do you have friends that are willing to play low points games or even shadow war games? when i started 40k it was before im at the job im at now and i couldnt afford much, after 4 months i only had a 500 point army. look up kill team/ shadow war armageddon, buy models off ebay and learn to strip/repaint, check out craigs list etc

Oldest structure on Earth is in Turkey.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Göbekli_Tepe

Wait you're here too? I thought I left your faggotry back on /m/. How's that "Shadow War Armageddon Private Server" coming?

there weren't any Turkic people in that place eight thousand years ago.

they jack off

Not even worth it assumption this point. The new edition is basically baby's first wargame, with rules dumbed down to make them easier for 8 year olds and an emphasis on speed of play over literally any other concern.
To fix a few balance issues they redesigned the game from the ground up. It's about as close to modern 40k as Rogue Trader was, just going in the opposite direction.

he isn't as manly or rough as conan. he's more like turkish jesus

Lmao so bitter. So sad.

>he doesn't know how to read PDF2s

Since both seem like they'll be useful and strong now, in terms of fluffiness vs looks vs how they work should I pick up a heavy warpflamer or soulreaper autocannon for my Scarab Occult Terminator squad?

So according to Atia
>you will be getting some new tau stuff that's not directly part of the t'au empire :P
Bets on Kroot Mercs, Chaos/Renegade Tau, or Farsight-uniques?

It will depend on the point cost, that we've not seen yet

AtiAShit

FRFSRF will be a Command Point ability if it exists at all in 8th.

Every complaint about 8th has "I'm a huge WAACfaggot and my broken cheese army won't be as good" behind it.

Say what you want, she's right five times as often as she's wrong. Her prophecies may not always unfold as we prefer, but they do unfold.

Damn straight, in bitter. They're turning 40k into a game I never would have started playing back when I did, and one I have no interest in playing now, making the thousands of dollars I've invested into this game a complete waste. It's One More Day all over again and yes, it pisses me off. Doubly so since I'll never get real rules for Sanguinious, the Lion, Khan, or the Emperor in 30k since FW will have to update their stuff for 8e as well.

They all but confirmed FRFSRFGSADFGSW in the Weapons article where they talked about rapid firing.

I'd like Kroot Merc, but since they have said that the Kroot Shaper is not an HQ choice I don't think it'll be that
The most likely option is probably Farsight, but Chaos-corrupted Taus would be an interesting addition, since it would actually expand the Chaos faction, that currently is in the same situation as Death in AoS, creating an army that isn't either daemons or SM

Fucking autocorrect

Not him but I've been typing like that since before reddit existed. Is reddit that convenient of an excuse for everything?

They already said it was an order and it goes off automatically

How the fuck can you defend 7th edition?!
Seriously, tell me what you liked about it and what army did you play?
Let's see your most recent army list.

7th fucking sucked mate

Alright, alright. I guess I'll just wait. I was getting a tad bit impatient while waiting for 8th and really wanted to finish painting and assembling these guys sooner even more once the stat reveals on rubricae and their weapons came out plus hearing of the new rules in general.

Sell your army then, if you wouldn't play it anyway

And buy Renew Your Vows, good sales of that series would show Marvel their errors more than complaining about it on a Korean train stamper agency

I hope it's not more farsight shit.

Farsight Enclave Close Combat Specialist Samurai Battlesuits

...

I'm not defending 7e, it's an objectably bad edition. But the problems weren't nearly so bad as requiring an entirely new game being made. 5e had a much better set of core rules, but was hampered by boring, shitty codices. 8e should have been something closer to 5e with late-7e codec design (Traitor Legion style balance and fluffy rules).
GW's 8e throws the baby our with the bath water.

Who cares. We only want a basic troop choice kit for SoB.

Or flat Psyker polar bears. Anything else is just worthless shit

The past few editions have been pretty bad bro.

...

>They're turning 40k into a game I never would have started playing back when I did
So i take it you never played 2nd ed?

Wouldn't have played it them, either. 40k didn't hit its stride until 3e.
