Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

I mean... it's photoshopped duping of a small group of models. So I guess that's impressive. Somehow.

Do you guys make special characters for your armies?

bro its the same 20 models cut and pasted all over

Anyone got the art of the terminator fighting the armless space marine in the rain?

Rolled 1 (1d20)

Just pick what fluff you like the most, duh.

>it's photoshopped
I couldn't tell at first but now I see it. God fucking damnit.

>tfw I'm still torn about which army I want to work on and have actually lapsed into doing nothing because I don't know I actually want to do and its overwhelming

I'm bored making lists, which is best?

Pick fluff you like, cross reference with play style, pick imperium version.

Like transhumanism? Like hard as rock units? Admech.

Like elites? Like fast and fragile? Scions.

>make special characters

Why when you could take OBVIOUSLY SUPERIOR NAMED CHARACTER WITH BETTER RULES as opposed to being able to make your own dude. You can't even fluff it anymore because of factions and named characters only buffing their faction.

Are you using battlescribe to do that?

Also I'd give feedback but I'm currently making my first list.

>admech and scions
>not Covens and kabal

Hive guard spam one
;^]

Probably the middle one. I have yet to brainstorm a good use for Raveners and the list on the right has almost 0 anti-armor capability.

He is using this.

Meant to link for webapplications-webroster.rhcloud.com/rc/web/#!/rosterCreator

I really don't know how that happened.

It sucks, but imperium is always going to be protected by imperial privelege.

>No Imperial Guard

Been years since I last looked into 40k, but are Orks still a shooty army pretending to to be smashy, or can you now play them as a close combat army?

work on one at a time

>webapplications-webroster.rhcloud.com/rc/web/#!/rosterCreator

>no Imperials at all other than knights and marines

what kind of heresy is this

CC is greatly improved in 8th, probably the best it's ever been as far as I know.

Orks can go NUTS in close combat now.

It's not even remotely up to date, reading the news blurbs the maintainer seems to have had some computer troubles recently. You'll either have to make lists by hand or use the 8th ed battlesribe files.

Its work in progress and has some errors, like with Tyrant Guard and Hive Guard.

>middle one
Damn I was hoping you wouldn't say that one, someone else is already running mutliple units of hive tyrants and It'd feel like I'm ripping off of him
>Raveners
Same. They seem better than much of anything else for digging out those pesky sniper teams though.
>0 anti-armor
I was hoping I could get within range to put both stealer units' rending claws to use and perhaps the broodlord as well but they would be priority targets.

Thank you so much for this link user, it'll be useful for making my Space Wolves list. Russ Bless

ran a parking lot list for IG no hatch to shoot out of is rough.

I guess, since it's a 40K-related game, but SWAG has its own general threads too.

>hive tyrants
hive guard I mean.

That's the problem. I don't know which army I want to work on. I just sort of accumulated shit over time

What shit do you have? And what do you mean by work on? Modeling or lists?

Link to the Battlescribe files? I haven't been able to find them.

It's literally one dude maintaining it in his spare time, be patient.

Had
Not anymore

Roll a dice

If I want to do a low-ish model count brawler combat army, what would the options be?

You could drop a unit of Hive Guard and some change for a Harpy. With their spore mine rule and two Stranglethorn canons they seem pretty strong.

You'll need to possibly put Battlescribe on the alpha channel updates under options then download github.com/BSData/wh40k/tree/40k8eprep
Put them in a folder or in your data folder

Just finished reading Mechanicum.

Do we know what the deal with the missing book will be, or is it a future mystery that'll never be answered because it's far more important to add more Marines v Spiky Marines lore?

Also note this is only on the desktop version, you can apparently get it to work with android but it's more effort than it's worth.

A die, dice is the plural form.
You cannot roll a singular plural because it is many. It's like saying they are a good friend.

Ork Boyz are now perhaps the most cost efficient melee unit, with easy access to insane force multipliers

Modeling.

I have a bunch of dark eldar that I bought to start up and kinda hit a period where I didn't have time to work. Then, I was basically handed 2 Calth boxes (paid ~$125 for 2) and then a BoP box for about as much, so I figured I'd start CSM/HH, which was my other contemplation anyway. Timing was right because my one store also had a. Blowout sake and I got 40% off of some termies, raptors, and an actual CSM squad I didn't really need. As I'm working on those, I stumble on another deal from a friend who's cousin was selling some unopened dark eldar, so I paid another $100 for a whole bunch of unopened shit (2 raiders, warriors, wyches, and a bunch of hellions). On top of that though, I bought a bunch of shit from china to go with the Marines like weapons and upgrades.

I like both, and that's the problem. I'm torn.

Orks are now arguably the best CC army in the game.

What happened? I could've sworn they were still around a few days ago.

I really really like the harpy but the degradation worries me. When it drops wounds doesn't it get useless?

Custodes, grey knights or some variation of a dreadnought army.

Sounds like an awesome fight waiting to happen, I'd start with the DE and then move onto the CSM when you need a break

Grey Knights with Paladins or Dark Angels Deathwing, with Deathwing Knights.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE CHARGE GOES FIRST EVERY GAME

>8th

When it gets to 6 (half) wounds it goes down to BS 5+, its how all Monsters and Vehicles work now. But the goal is to have other big scary things to shoot at too. Pic sort of related.

...

What the fuck is the purpose of intercessor marines? it seems like you would be better off with a 10man tactical squad or sternguard veterans.

They look fuckin' rad

>tfw want to play as a modern human army but hate the imperium
Life is pain.

TactiCOOL

Renegades that haven't fallen to Chaos yet.

Pirates.

...

deffdreads are pretty good. idk about their vehicles.

>tfw some autogynephile has a shit opinion

Here's what you do.
Play Tau and kitbash so you have gue'vessa.

Looking cool enough to convince Timmy he should buy the same thing twice. Also serving as expensive truescale tacticals.

Haha, tricked, noobz.

Sometimes ill house rule special characters and I'll play non competitive games with them. Absolutely. I love custom modeling them too.

If you want to run renegades/rebels, just buy Anvil Industries bits. You're golden.

>autogynephile
That word doesn't mean what you think it means, you projecting pornfag.

>BS2

Tau are too high tech though.

Is anyone using Lictors ? They can finally do lictor things

>doesn't try to deny that he's an autogynephile

Play bolter bitches then.

Battle Wagons are better with their deff rollas, but they're only T8 if you give them a cover. Gotta choose between Open Topped shooting or having a tough wagon in combat.

Ram those trukks into combat with their boyz, Sluggas can shoot into combat in or out of it.

Deffkoptas are good for fast flanking and dropping bombs or killsaw attacks.

>BS 2

Renegades have Militia Training for BS 3, specifically for people who want renegade military instead of rabble.

damn, from the thumbnail I thought the trukk was his left arm

>Betrayal at Calth
>has MKIV marines not MKIII
>Has cataphractii

>Burning of Prospero
>has MKIII
>has Tartaros not Cataphractii

They have to make things difficult, dont they

Shut up you cock smoker, before I beat you to death with my balls.

Do what GSC does. Take Imperial Guard detachments, use different models, and call them something else.

Only thing I can see is that they are better as objective taker. They have better range and have two wounds unlike the normal tactical marines.

Does artillery ignore cover saves gained by being obscured?

This is my start to an Emperors Children army and I need some help finishing it.

Any suggestions?

Not unless it says it does

Does it say so on the weapon profile? If not, no.

Ah I get an error when I try to import the Necon data file.

>What the fuck is the purpose of intercessor marines?
To be a reasonable argument against the people denying that Marinelets will slowly be phased out.

Also, they lack the special/heavy weapon operatives of 40K Tactical squads, so they're closer to the old, less tactically flexible wall 'o' boltguns 30K-era Tactical squads, just like how Cringeblasters are analogus to 30K Tactical Support squads. They don't have any additional rules for things like concentrated bolt rifle fire, so the just come out as a less flexible Tactical Squad with +1 W and A, and somewhat better bolters.

I'm pretty sure you don't import individual army datafiles, try just importing Warhammer40k.gst

Yea, I might do that then. After watching a few videos, I'm kind of regretting only having one venom despite liking the appearance of raiders more. I also want at least one Razorwing, and holy fuck ravagers. Ugh. This isn't helping.

Barely even that, since Objectives are determined by model number.

Oh shit, I'm an idiot sorry.

You have very little anti-armor tranny bro

I feel you. NL look so much better in mk4, but I fucking love tartaros armor and want to REEE shit with lightning claws.
