SECOND FOR PLASTIC SISTERS

You called?

You keep saying this shit, and it has to be only you that's this retarded, but that list is completely legal even using GW's exact rules.

2000 points is "up to 3 detachments". That army uses 3 detachments. It doesn't use any gimmick detachments, it only uses the basic battalion, and two of the alternative detachments that replace the troop requirement with another slot like elite or fast attack.

But it's not 2000 points.

>1850 point GT

What the fuck are those morons doing do they think this is 7E or some shit

>single rippers on 25mm bases

when was that ever a thing?

Put 2 of the flyers into 1st wing and 1 into the patrol, lose 1CP. Like who cares.

1 sniper team+both hqs+plasma team+missile team start in airborne deployment, melta teams start in flyers which start on the board with mortar plus remaining sniper teams.
HQs used to give "move and fire" so that I can get assault mortars and snipers or assault missile launchers because that order is 10/10
also 7 points per BS3+ sniper (2 wounds) makes ratlings look shit

basically what i want to field

battlescribe is so ugly to look at, rather use word

1,001-2,000 Up to 3 per army

Battle for Macragge
Ask and thy shall receive

it's functional, I always preferred it to the online list builder, plus I could send stuff to my phone as well or make lists on my phone
forgot to ask, any feedback?

Threadly reminder that only plebs use Power Level.

Should I paint my black templars primaris as normal marines or use red like sword brethren?

What's with smaller GW being open only 6 hours some days?

Isn't that being pushed all over europe? We've had 8h work days for a century-ish

As normal for fluff, paint lieutenants, ancients and captains as sword brothers is what i'd do

We'll they're probably open longer doing back end stuff.

Store I'm going to right now opens at 12pm and closes at 6pm

does it work ?

I know this is a faggoty question but is it possible to crack Battlescribe to enable the "supporter" shit? I refuse to pay them money for basic functionality.

Why the fuck are Skitarii units so fucking tiny compared to other 40k humans?

Fuck that's even less fluffy than a 7th ed tourney list.

Because they are the only none-gene augmented human models sold.

apart from guard you mean

>a human inquisitor is taller
>an imperial guardsman is taller
>an officio assassinorum operative is taller

what b8 is this

Slap her boyfriend's ass and see how she reacts

>Immortal and augmented.
>Nearly always augmented or abhuman.
>Augmented.

40k humans are nearly always either or both genetically and cybernetically augmented. The guard chapters with models all are, all inquisitors are and most members of the government. They live for hundreds of years for the Emperor's sake.

So bare with me on this, characteristics are no longer capped at 10 now, so if you take a DE Succubus (LD8) with splintermind (LD+2) and Inspiring Leader (LD+1) you end up with Leadership 11.

Then you drop her in a Tantalus and every friendly model within line of sight that isnt in cover gets to use her leadership 11.

I've had a quick look at the relevant sections in the rulebook, and cant find anything that prohibits this, am I missing something?

Juvenant treatments, not genetic augmentation.

>The guard regiments with models all are

Source, right now.

>Skitarii aren't biologically augmented

Read the fluff, they are, it's not just cybernetics.

t. pleb

Because most modern human 40k models are too large. At least the entire cadians line seems to imply that humans are just as large as space marines.

Rather than fixing that, GW decided to make bigger marines instead.

Source this shit, right now.

Because you're wrong.

Everyone has wanted bigger, truescale marines.

Anyone have any idea on what i should improve?

I certainly haven't. I've wanted "Truescale" morons to shut up for years, because they're clearly wrong.

Are marines taller than Orks, Eldar and Necrons? Hint: No.

>manlet cuck
How's it feel when GW is dicking manchild marines in the ass while pushing the new and in every way superior Primaris

>1850
>cancerous spam list

Tourneyfags gonna tourneyfag.

Only people who are obsessed with the size of things for obscure reasons.

In all ways? I mean yeah they've got some cool armor but ruleswise they kinda suck.

>Every way superior

Th'fuck you on about, Primaris are pretty trash on the TT compared to optimised regular marines.

Thats fine, who cares what they use

> I've wanted "Truescale" morons to shut up for years, because they're clearly wrong.

This. Fucking truescale faggots.

Most Orks are Boyz, and are 6ft tall, hunched over, which they always are.

Eldar vary from 6.5 to 7ft, so the very tallest are about the same size.

Got a point on Necrons, I guess.

I didnt gave a shit and i still dont.

Im amazed you think turnament players arent most autistic win-or-die people on earth who will abuse rules as much as they can just to feel good about wining in games.

>Orkz?
Technically, yes, but only mostly because they're naturally hunched a little.
>Eldar?
Not really, no, but not many people complained about Eldar scale.
>Necrons?
They're taller than Warriors, but not taller than Immortals or any of the other larger ones.

>being in this much denial
You know that GW will make them a tier 1 army once they get their new codex with the vehicles and everything?
How can manlets be this fucking delusional, lmao

Nah that's perfectly legit, the question is why would you bother when you auto pass leadership checks turn 4 onwards

Airwing detachment is a maximum or 3 fliers, no?

From competing 40k Facebook page

Conscript spam memes
Be ready boys

I'm a Guard player faggot. And unless they get some serious buffs or synergy play with their special weapon squads then they will always suck compared to a good tac squad.

>Comment about wanting an autist sub cult to sperg less
>Replying with how not gobbling up chad marines must mean you're a manlet
Somehow it appears like you're projecting a little bit much there user.

It's funny how many people blindly fall for GW's obvious effort to convince marinefags to replace their entire collection.

Characters provide their leadership to troops?

Also, auras dont work in transports.

Can't speak for that guy, but I hated the truescale shit for years, but love the idea of the primaris.

Because... Primaris actually are 8-9' tall in lore.

...

The Tantalus has a rule specifying if your warlord is on board any models in line of sight of the Tantalus they use his/her leadership. It's a vision rule not an aura rule.

>M-muh Primaris Marines are superior because they'll be better later, i-it doesn't matter that they're trash now, guys, they're still better

Your projection is delicious, please screech more about your superiority as you're beaten by manlets again and again.

That's my point. Marines are scaled pretty accurately against Xenos.

It's the plastic cadians who are the problem.

Now Primaris marines loom over things they have no business being taller than.

Too bad their lore is shit and sucked from a middle finger along with the rest of "i am gonna write about genius of Guilliman but since i am dumbass black library author the best i can come up with is rubbish like Gulliman ordered Space Marine Space Marines from Cawl cos he 'predicted' (what?) "

> They're a waacfag, of COURSE they'll paint 550 conscripts to win.

>Caring about rules

I've always played using marine models I liked the looks of, no matter if they were the newest hot cheese or considered trash. I've had 5 Vanguard veterans with dual plasma pistol, just because they can have that, since the start of 5th edition.

This guy gets it

Its 3-5

>he 'predicted' (what?) "
He predicted a resurgence of the traitor legions since they'd failed to wipe them out during the scouring and wanted some big guns on his side. And guess what he was fucking right about the traitors coming back for round 2 even before he got shanked by the snake hoe.

f he could have had the Primaris Marines with him before he died I'm sure he would have, but they werent finished so he went without.

I don't think anybody would have been upset if GW sold bigger marines as an alternative without any explanation why they were larger. The lore is just so bad that it is actively making people decide against buying primaris models.

Flamer: in 7th was flame template, in 8th is D6 Auto Hits
Burna: in 7th was flame template, in 8th is D3 Auto Hits

Frag Missile: in 7th was Small Blast, in 8th is D6 Shots
Frag Grenade: in 7th was Small Blast, in 8th is D6 Shots
Battle Cannon: in 7th was Large Blast, in 8th is D6 Shots
Thermal Cannon: in 7th was Large Blast, in 8th is D3 Shots (increasing to D6 versus units of 5+ models)
Thunderfire Cannon: in 7th was 4x Small Blast, in 8th is 4D3 Shots

Hmm well okay one good thing I can draw from that:

I was thinking to myself that since Dreadnought Drop Pods are inexcusably overpriced I might want a Stormraven in really big games for my all-dread army to drop someone off in enemy lines, but I was thinking to myself "How can I know a Stormraven isn't largely dead points if it's not using it's full transport capacity"

Well that's how I know: A tourneyfag thought they were good enough to spam empty, and he won.

Guess I'm picking up a Stormraven if 3000 point games take off around here like I expect them to.

"If we did not killed those guys, they must be still there!'
Fucking genius!

Well that, and mixed armies look really bad.

Death guard are disgustingly overcosted

Judging by the fact that the guy fielding 125 orks and 60 gretchin I played against already ran out of room to deploy his units on a 6'x4' board, not even half of that is gonna fit in the deployment zone lol.

Haven't looked at the index yet how are Techmarines in 8th?

>Stole Necrons most durable army ability

Boo hoo suck it up plaguelord.

Go and look at the index now, then

>People snipe their Commissars, then route them with ease.

That's almost a coherent sentence.

If you're the poster I replied to you're a fucking weirdo
>complains about authors wanking about how super smart and genius Guilliman
>gets all assmad when turns out it was just a simple logical conclusion and Guilliman ordering the Primaris marines actually makes sense
I swear half the people bitching about Guilliman have no fucking idea about the lore. The guy is nowhere near as bad as people make him out to be.

You maybe?

I've bought no marines since 2007 and am going to buy me some primaris just so my raven guard can have some clone-trooper Rift Stalker buddies to pal around with.

>So much shit sold out online
>no longer available online
New kits coming?

Yes, what else do you think it is dummy

>Now Primaris marines loom over things they have no business being taller than.

But Primaris Marines are very tall.

nope. battle for macragge was just gaunts, stealers and sporemines.

> gets called a manlet
> reveals he plays guard
> who are manlet when to marine manlets
When will they learn?

Would it be acceptable to use Plague Monks as nurgle cultists/poxwalkers?

what heavy support can Death Guard use?

Why is the relative size of some minis such a massive deal?

How do you deal with T7 2+ saves?

>Rout them with ease

Okay so how much anti-horde firepower do you have? If you score 20 wounds to a unit it'll lose 16+d6 models, meaning you still haven't completely killed that one unit.

And he has 11 units. You have 7 turns tops to clear them.

chaos vehicles. Predators, land raiders, defilers.

Abhumans/mutants/Xenos that turned to Nurgle as a race could work towards justifying Plague Monks as nurgle mortal units.
