Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

kick the chosen and take as many combi plasma terminators as you can

no

Remember that Primaris can only ride in Primaris transports

>Primaris marines are like plastic paddies

I was thinking of using the land raider as Anti tank; would a predator be better for that purpose?
Also I really regret buying Primaris

I want to get into reading 40k. Where do I start? I know nothing about the lore. I play nids. Don't know if that affects the decision.

I hope those Wulfen aren't the plastic ones

Why?

Good point on the multi-meltas.

Anyone got an opinion on stormbolter vs flamer, also how does the Heavy bolter compare the Heavy flamer.

Mega links in OP for codex and other fluff.

Do you guys have an archive of older editions somewhere?

How many lascannons can you fit on a predator? Land Raider has 2 twin lascannons for 4 lascannon shots on a +3 so it seems fairly good, since d6 damage each

Reposting from the WIP thread.

I want to make an inquisitor. Any idea for converting power armour into terminator armour or even carapace armour?

1000 points Dark Angels (to begin with). Should I keep the camo cloaks, or take a 6th Scout?

All wasted points. Wait until the thiccmarines get a proper army list, either way-they might get fixed

just checked, you can get the same amount of lascannon shots on a predator that costs like 150pts less than a land raider (base)
If you only need it for anti tank, maybe a predator or two might work

Thank you Brother; Emperor Bless.

I would start with the Eisenhorn series. There's nothing about nids really that I know off, aside from spess mureens killing them with ease as npc fodder.

I know this is a janky photoshop, but how does this look as a scheme for primaris marines? Silver armour, red trim, gold chest decoration.

Are dark eldar a lot stronger this edition ? Also how are necrons going, I have noticed a worrying lack of information on them.

Was just working with what I have (bunch of Deathwing, Scouts), and the Primaris I'll be getting.

Any idea why Custodes still have their banner guys and champions as part of a unit instead of being split up like SM command squads and such? Custodes as a whole feel very weird and poorly thought-out.

No idea.
GW just being lazy I guess, that or they're planning separate blister releases for new HQs that would fill those slots

Looks like SW, kinda.

light reading:
1d4chan on any topic of your choosing

serious reading:

horus heresy novels from book 1. 40k is kind of lacking if you dont know all about the primarchs, and what better time to read about them then during their prime

probably mostly because they're primarily 30K until GW makes new stuff for them

I know that we can purposely take less than minimum models in a unit but can we choose which ones to not take?

Flamers and storm bolter are odd.
They both need at least two to work properly. At close flamers are better 8" in any othe situation you are better of with storm bolter

HB for SoB by pure math they are better in 3+ numbers due to how AoF work and the 8th magic number stat.

from a marine?

Here we are, I think this is the most powerful 50 power list I can devise.
I know another guy is planning to bring tons of those stormtrooper trucks that are really good now so I hope this can combat him. Wish me luck Veeky Forums

Nids are a gay NPC race who are a shit pustule on the ass of the setting,
If you like Tyranids you probably won't like the rest of the setting so I suggest you not read further into it.

LAND RAIDER TERMINUS ULTRA
>for 8 Lascannons on the glorious Land Raider chassis.

Might as well give the havocs ablative wounds, now universal split fire is a thing.

Tho for those extra points you're getting:
>Twin Heavy Bolter / Grav Cannon (if Excelsior)
>Reroll 1 to Shoot Aura (if Excelsior)
>Ignoring Heavy penalty
>2+, higher T, more Wounds

Now is that worth the price? Your call.

Stop being a shit cruddace

Is there any good reason not to take a chainfist on my chaos terminator lord?

- 1 hit doesnt seem that bad when it has all that extra str and -ap

Because you basically auto hit with a power axe, which is also a 5th of the points

I have no idea what the hell I'm doing with Death Guard. Would doubling up some stuff and adding tanks like this be okay?

Give or take a plaguecaster for guns for the plague marines.

That costs extra power, I cant afford it.

I could swap 10 cultists for 5 space marines on one of the squads though.

Post yer list

>Is there any good reason not to take a chainfist on my chaos terminator lord?
only if you want to make it more killy against mono-wound infantry

>tfw like bugs
>like the rest of the setting too
Feels good not being a petulant child

If you're working off the dark imperium set, some dedicated anti-tank would probably be a good thing to go for first.

Warp Anons! I require assistance! I have a small Death Guard army and I feel a sudden urge to convert some AoS Blood Warriors into Zerkers and to finally build a Jugger Lord. The question is do DG and WE mix well in 8th? Also What's the best option for a Jugger Lord possy now? Bloodcrushers? Spawn?

Yeah, forgot the pic.

As opposed to what? A fist?

Are Predator Annihilators broken?

Sure, but are you ever going to pay for a chaos lord just to shit on chaff?

Probably like Jin Roh
But in the future and fighting Aliens.

Drop the plauge swords, give the chapion with the fist a power axe, and swap the lord of contagion for typhus: he is both better and cheaper, and will buff the pox walkers.
You dont need another preditor

The Word Bearers Omnibus is great if you want to have a look at Imperial Citizens, Imperial Guard, and Chaos.

*without the fist an axe

No, why would you think that?

I was originally going to take a lightning claw being a night lord and all. But it seems pretty mediocre

Why does your pred not have lascannon sponsons?

Eh, 1/36 chance to miss, along with re-rolling wounds and +1 attacks is fairly decent. Its also more fluffy

>dark angels can't take a captain on bike
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

No points, but the more I look at it I should probably drop something for points for that sort of stuff.

What are you planning to throw him against? If the answer is High armor/ or wounds targets like land raiders or Tyranid Mosterous Beasts then Chainfist. If it's normal dudes/average characters the Axe or a lightning claw would be better

Heres my double-DI list. Remember, we are getting Mortarion and Nurgle Termies soon, so you might want to hold off until they get released

164-Typhus
189-Nurgle Daemon Prince, Warpbolter, Talons
135-5xPlague Marines-2x Plasma Gun, Power sword
135-5xPlague Marines-2x Plasma Gun, Power sword
144-5xPlague Marines-2x Meltagun, Power Axe
137-5xPlague Marines-2x Blight Launcher, Power Sword
148-2xChaos Rhino, 2x Combi-Bolter
120-20x Poxwalkers
120-20x Poxwalkers
202-Chaos Predator-Twin-las, 2x lascannons

1494

Doom Eagles?

4 3+ Lascannon shots for 200 points on a not half bad chassis seems like it's going to make centerpiece models cry

I feel like you really want dual claws with the new rules. Getting +1 attack for four points seems bretty gud to me, unless you want your Lord to have a combi-melta or something.

I just really hope GW puts stuff like the Dark Blade and other generic Daemon Weapons in the full codex, though I'm not getting my hopes up too much.

Yes, but moving robs it 1 BS, and its BS degrades with damage anyway. Its good sure, but its also 200 points

But for pretty much the same cost (a bit more) you can just get another predator for another 4 lascannons

fugg, he would feel more powerful being able to rape heavies and HQ in 1v1, but then theres the conscript meme to think about.

Magnet with either claw/chainfist would be ideal i suppose.

48" range tho

Not intentionally, no.
But my WIP Chaos Lord is a conversion of this, so no Chainfist for me.

and 360° LOS

Where do euroanons get magnets small but powerful enough to magnetize infantry models? Like Marines or Termies

>4 3+ Lascannon shots
Welp, game's broken, may as well quit now.

On ebay.

I found some 1/16th inch magnets at my local hobby shop.

My prediction for Legion tactics:
>Black Legion: Terminators and Chosen are troops
>Iron Warriors: Obliterators or maybe Havocs are troops
>Word Bearers: Possessed are troops
>Night Lords: Raptors are troops
>Alpha Legion: Chosen are troops

>Looking for new army near the end of 7th
>Really like the look of the Admech
>turned off by them being two factions
>8th rolls around and fixes this
>Start collecting and their battleforce box would be a perfect start
>The battleforce boxes no longer exist
This isnt a good pain tbqh.

I could see them make legion and chapter tactics into AoS type formations you spend points on for benefits like the 7th edition Traitor Legions book.

Not a euroanon but seconding Ebay.

Someone said that Toxin Sacs are good on Claw Warriors, but I'm sort of not seeing why it would be compared to anything else?

Well bad luck buddy!

It's pretty typical for last editions good choices to turn pure shit so most people make sure to magnetize even if they think they wont want to switch.

BEST LEGION REPORTING

With the outrider, vanguard and spearhead detachments, along with the patrol detachment being fairly versatile, I don't really see the need for changes to units' FOC type. You can make all of those armies now. I think legion tactics will be bonuses to certain units (GW is very fond of "reroll 1s" rules these days) instead.

alrighty, time to scour ebay for chink magnets or something
cheers

How cheesy with the new typhus model be?

yeah, not great vs conscripts thought m8

THIS ENTIRE FIST IS GOING UP YOUR ASS, SPERGLEGION

Eh. Guard can put out 6 4+ lascannon shots for 144 points.

It's not for killing conscripts now is it, m8y
That's what the stormlord with 20 HWTs in it is for

>COME FIST ME ROGAL!

I just looked at his rules, holy shit motal wounds everywhere. And 2d6 ap -4 pistol shots a turn.

If that wasn't enough he buffs zombies into marines just for showing up.
