My FLGS confirms week 1 will be 500pts, then escalate from there. Paint optional, though you will get bonus points for it. The July 30 Warhammer World subevent will be 1750pts. There will be bonus points awarded for using specific unit types each week, but that's supposed to be balanced out by the low point value of the conflict.
So, who will you fight and bleed for? The living dead guy on his corpse throne, or the Emperor? Or perhaps the Xenos, who can only act as harriers this campaign? What about tactics? Plan on bringing a horde army to Loebos despite that wicked stratagem threatening to undo you?
Sadly I'm in bumfuck Asia for the next few months and I'm going to miss it. I can only hope that the local Ig guy back home can hold the line since Mr and him are literally the only imperial players in our community and every one else is chaos or xenos and I don't think the xenos players will pitch in on our side.
Tyler Lopez
Kabal of the Emerald Hallow will be aiding in the chaos war effort.
Cooper Long
The Tyranids of Hive Fleet Avidae are going all-in for the Imperium, purely because I'm fed up with Carnac and want to humiliate Chaos because of him.
Ryder Turner
Wait, what? Why the fuck are your Dark Eldar dudes helping Chaos? Have you no racial dignity after what happened with Slaanesh?
Lincoln Phillips
You mean are going to take advantage of the situation to fuck with the imperium and grab some slaves right? It's not like they'd be marching shoulder to shoulder with the Death Guard.
Andrew Williams
Well yeah we heard about this whole primarch business and decided we don't want the imperium getting too comfy.
Brandon Hughes
Will the 500pts be the norm then? What type of lists do we need to bring to crush the imperium?
Noah Adams
The Saim Hann craftworld happens to be travelling nearby, and several of our clans are eager for some sport
Sebastian Lee
It sounds like it'll be an escalation league, so 500 in week one, but increasing across each week
Chase Morales
Week 1 bonus is for Start Collecting! box units, so be prepared to see lots of baseline units.
Week 2 bonus points are for specifically Space Marine models. No word if this applies to Chaos Space Marines as well. So bring lots of AP on week 2!
Jordan Perez
My bugbrother, fucking same.
If Behemoth couldn't beat Ultramar, no fucking way in hell am I going to let Chaoscucks do it.
Nathan Foster
The Hive Mind guide you to victory, my spawn-mate.
Christian Perry
Mechanicus of Forgeworld will be fighting for the imperium, naturally.
Wyatt Martinez
Though your actions are misguided imagining an imperium/nid bro fist is kinda funny.
Nathaniel Edwards
My Kabal is going to be aiding the Imperium, because as said in another thread "How can we steal their shit if they're dead?"
Chaos makes for poor slaves
Luis Reyes
Skirt the fringes swoop in after imperial victories and take them in their weakened state! Chaos controlled sectors breed more piracy and less rules and shit!
Aiden Ortiz
Pro tip, Konor itself is an AdMech world.
My Skitarii were fluffed from being from there long before I even knew this campaign was going to be a thing, purely because I wanted them to be close to the Ultramarines.
Liam Myers
So far I don't really know much about how the campaign will go or whatever (my local manager hasn't had many/any details it seems like) but I plan on bringing my Still-Yet-To-Be-Named squat guard regiment.
Matthew Morales
You know what else chaos breeds? Shitty slaves who are already fucked up and tainted before you grab them that just bring trouble to your doorstep by drawing the eyes of the deamons to you.
John Myers
Mine have purple robes, because I wanted to be super fucking special. I'm thinkign some kinda weird psychadellic world turned forgeworld with a big ol' datavault full of music for a backstory.
Zachary Martin
was meant for
Wyatt Torres
Fair enough fellow Archon. What sort of list are you planning on bringing?
Ethan Bennett
My Swarmlord is getting ready to show Armless the Harmless why four swords are better than one.
Easton Allen
That's a damn shame. Purple-robed squats would've been a fine meme army.
Andrew Gomez
Can we get a straw Poll in this bitch?
Julian Lewis
Who /250 brimstones/ here
Aaron Edwards
OP here. I don't know how to do that. Also, I'm on mobile. inb4 newfag phoneposter
Asher Brown
As nids does the death forest thing freak you out? How do you get around that?
Blake Hill
Yeah I was a bit confused lol. And that does sound hilarious, maybe I'll do that next. Mine are just green and silver.
Anthony Jones
It's been done before. Imperium just barely outnumbers Chaos+Xenos combined by a hair, and since more Xenos players are also siding with Imperium than with Chaos, and overall probably have the stronger factions balance-wise right now, Chaos is basically fucked for chances of winning this campaign. As it should be.
Oliver Phillips
Who are you bringing to the fray OP?
James Hernandez
OH SHI-
Kevin Johnson
Different nid player than the guy you're responding too but, how much have you played against Tyranids that you think dealing a couple mortal wounds on 6's is ever going to be a problem for them?
Luke Wilson
Grey Knights. Yes, I realize 5 terminators with falchions only is 230pts. The Emperor protects.
Justin Cox
Wouldn't it still fuck up gaunt spam?
Andrew Howard
Oh no like two of my two hundred models died. How will I ever recover?
Also pic related.
Hunter Lee
Damn son Well the best of luck to ya!
Brayden Butler
So I guess that stratagem would fuck over guard more than anything?
Luis Hall
LOL
Justin Bell
I think the Loebos stratagem is overrated. When used on a 50-model conscript squad, you can expect 8 models to die. It's also 2cp in a format that's very difficult to get battleforged in.
Liam Moore
Deep-striking Scions says probably not.
Owen Richardson
It's only 1CP but it's still weaksauce against hordes. If anything power armour armies are the ones that should be scared of it. If some retard actually spends a command point to kill 5 of my 30 termagants I will laugh my ass off at him and then respawn them for free next turn with the tervigon.
The only time it seems like it would do anything to me would be against genestealers, but I just won't bring them within 3" of a forest if I don't have to. If my opponent hugs the forests with his juicy models so I have to get near them to charge, then I'll just use the stratagem on him.
Thomas Morgan
Well free hits are still hits that's shit I didint even have to do anything really to kill I guess.
Bentley White
It's not free, you have to spend a CP.
Kayden Perry
Has Carnac garnered this much salt from Veeky Forums?
Mason Edwards
>Play Xenos I'm just going to cuck imperium as hard as I can.
Jose Reyes
Having to put up with his same autistic childish shitposting about belakuck and taufaggotry over and over for years will do that.
It's actually delicious irony that Carnac's autism about Chaos probably secured them losing any future campaigns because most Xenos players side with Imperium just because they're sick of faggots like him.
Henry Thompson
I play xenos and still have nothing but distain for tau.
Jackson Reyes
>"gee why is the Emperor so xenophobic"
THIS
THIS IS WHY
John Ramirez
Xenos players siding with Chaos are basically pathetic race-traitors.
Imperium has ALWAYS been the protagonists, but Chaos gloating this edition about being the main villains is insufferable. Watching them get btfo is a far better result for Xenos than the Imperium losing.
Mason Gray
The Vanitor WARP SURGE Stratagem is ridiculously fucking good for 1CP.
Christopher Morales
Carnac is the bane of literally every fluff thread anyone tries to make, combining autistic Chaos-wank with an obvious gay crush on Be'lacuck, a character who only exists to get the shit beat out of him over and over again. He was shitposting on a thread about the Horus' opinion on Traitor Primarchs earlier today.
Cameron Sanders
Agreed. Chaos must fall so we can reclaim our rightful place, and it starts on Konor. My Dark Eldar lend our strength to the Imperium.
Adrian Thompson
You can't ruse me Vect, you just want more meat slaves!
Ethan Long
This. Xenos can't have any major relevance until Chaos gets put back in the box. And Necrons have no love for Chaos, so I'd gladly march with the Imperials.
Angel Jones
Right?
>Grey Knights >2 land raiders >cast Gate of Infinity, Warp Surge, Gate again > Enjoy your deep striking land raiders
James Phillips
The battle company is assembled.
His Scythes stand ready Primarch.
Carter Peterson
Scythes are a Chad chapter now.
Brayden Ward
My dynasty will be lending our ancient might to Gulliman.
Isaiah Hernandez
>every Necron dynasty sides with Imperium >Craftworlders are either with the Imperium, or even if not, they'll be against Chaos for sure due to you know Slaanesh >Ynnari are with Imperium >Orks will fight Chaos too in addition to fighting Imperium
Isn't that basically a rap, how can Chaos even win at this point? Only issue are Tyranids who avoid Daemons.
Wyatt Williams
Tyranids usually don't attack daemon worlds because it's unprofitable in biomass terms. That doesn't mean that they're scared of daemons, and certainly not of CSM.
>Masquerading as Carnac for months, drumming up support for the Imperium because I don't want the Ultramarines to lose even a scrap of territory >People won't believe me at this point anyway
Logan Hernandez
Me orkz'll fight for whoevvaz lozin'. Wanna make sure the scrap goes as long az possibul!
Evan Hill
>Defeating Chaos with misdirection, lies, and deceit. Omegon would be proud.
Jace Cook
Ultramarine already lost 499 worlds worth of territory when their sovereignty was handed over to various successors.
Jacob Barnes
No one can impersonate Carnac's brand of autism.
Ryan Rogers
>wanting chaos to lose so that xeno races get to lose next campaign
John Moore
You can tell when it's the genuine issue but people still act like stuck-up Chaosfags all the time.
John James
It's actually very easy. You just need to combine his talking points with your own latent autism.
Ryder Wright
Luckily for you Orks are overwhelmingly at an advantage for the first half of this campaign. As soon as we hit the higher points tiers, that advantage will be gone.
Blake Parker
Nice try Abaddon.
Owen Perez
No see its like this
>this campaign Xenos side with Imperium, btfo Chaos >next campaign, Xenos faction whatever vs imperium; all the Xenos band together and Chaos being Chaos is too hung up on their loss years ago to get over it and fight against the Imperium as well >Xenos win
and then GW ignores/alters the results to forge the narrative
William Ward
user that just means the xenos will be fluffed as DOING SOMETHING. Losing as a credible threat is better than not showing up at all.
Adrian Clark
Pretty sure the next 2 campaigns with be imperium vs chaos either way, with it being imperium vs xenos after that no matter what.
The only thing that really matters is xenos banding together in all xenos campaigns to fuck whoever.
Lucas Reed
Painboss Skullcutta sayin wez just gonna krump any 'ummie or freak dat wez see. Eh alwayz ahs a way wit words.
Dylan Ross
Don't forget the Weebs They'll lend their swords, or, quad fusion blasters
Mason Martinez
>Imperium vs. Chaos Undivided campaign >Imperium vs. Khorne campaign >Imperium vs. Tzeentch campaign >Imperium vs. Nurgle campaign >Imperium vs. Slaanesh campaign
Jayden Ward
Just finished painting my 1700pts Farsight Enclaves army for this campaign. Can't wait.
Bentley Bell
n-no
Camden Cruz
THIN YOUR SHIT
also, nuln oil or agrax earthshade would really help your model look better. It looks very flat
Adam Taylor
>My FLGS confirms week 1 will be 500pts
So what kind of 500pt forces are people thinking of running?
I kind of want to run >Archon >Sslyth x 2 >Medusae x 2 All crusing around in a Venom along with two squads of >Reaver x 3 + Grav Claw But I'm worried it won't be enough bodies on the field. I wish Reavers weren't quite so expensive.
Angel Carter
Issodon the Grim is mustering his Raptors and allies for the war effort.
David Wood
Remember if chaos is eating the imperium they aren't bothering the greater good user.
Asher Edwards
Would the reavers and Archon count for the start collecting bonus?
Camden Carter
I have no idea. Haven't even looked into that stuff.
Thanks you. After not being updated for 7e I'm ready for 8e with renewed vigor.
Carson Rogers
Ask an user who is organizing the campaign for his LGS anything.
Nathaniel Foster
I think if the model is represented in the SC box, it counts.
Adam Green
I think whatever faction your backing gets extra clout in the form of victory points from fulfilling that weeks "theme".
Kayden Thomas
Thinking of this.
Juan Perez
What is the next point increment after the 500 point week? I want to participate and might have enough for 1000 points but if it's 500, 1000, 1500, or something like that, I'm not going to try to rush 500 extra points of models and do bad paintjobs only to not even make it in time to begin with.
Jackson Price
What can we expect from the missions? I see some tokens in the box spoilers. Are objective captures gonna be heavily emphasized?
Mason Thomas
When's it start? My LGS usually holds 40k night on Fridays.
Juan Edwards
How does the points thing work? Like the Start Collecting bonus, painting bonus, all that. Haven't done one of these since 3rd Edition
Hunter Diaz
What are the weekly prizes? And what's the makeup of your local meta looking like for the campaign?
Hunter Murphy
Nice meme army. I can see that wreaking havoc against non-orks.
