2nd for the dark city

2nd for Sisters a QT!

So... did they come out with a Gabriel Angelos model?

third for 8 hellstrikes per turn

3rd for ultramarines

there needs to be more 40k pixelart

Well its in the OP and it looks pretty terrible, think its not out yet.

What did you all work on today, Veeky Forums? I finished up a squad of heretics for my Not Guard and/or R&H.

So, will chapter tactics exist for generic non-first founding marines or do you have to pick the first founding dudes?

My PTSD has gotten the better of me lately so no model progress sadly.

Those are some pretty awesome dudes so far! Any story behind them?

They take their progenitor. If unknown, you just pick one you like.

where did you get the heads? I might like to use them for consccripts.

Played a game with the special modifier of pic related.

Had a melee weapon only Knight carve its way through my Necrons and my opponents Ork Dred Mob. It waded through and killed a deff dread, 9 boyz, and took half the wounds off of a Gorkanaut and killed my entire squad of Triarch Praetorians, one of my lords, and stepped on my Triarch Stalker before it finally died to a combined volley from 2 Grotzookaz and melee rape from my Lychguard.

It was fun trying to decide if I needed to gun down the orkz or drive back the Knight that was threatening my Warrior formation.

It had its own unique phase, we rolled a scatter dice and 1d6 for its movement. If we rolled the direct hit it stayed but gained an extra attack for the next time it fought. And if it was in charging range we rolled 1d3 on a result of 1 it charged the nearest unit on a result of 2 it charged the nearest unit of the player that lost a roll off and on a result of 3 it charged the other players closest unit, not the closest one to its current position. Finally we let it move the highest number on the charge roll towards where it was going to charge anyway.

It was a great addition to an already fun game and I will definitely start suggesting it for games in the future

>my lord are we only allowed a limited number of Primaris
>Hmm very well its clear to me what we must do to get around this.
>Primaris Sisters!

Pick from the First Foundings.

IS THAT A

M I X E D F O R C E ?

Where'd you get the heads my dude?

...

I've been thinking of converting my R&H into Salvor Chemdogs...

What's a good space marine ally for my guardsmen?

it was an armageddon themed game with 4 players. 1 IG player and 1 Black Templars player vs 2 Ork players

Are prisms worth firing in dispersed mode?

I paint in the garden normally but rained like hell today so I bought some paints from local GW.

Ideas on what colours to do the cloth for this guy? Also the spell?

All the Termis

Pick one or run without one. Almost all chapters by m42 abide by the updated Codex Astartes anwyay, so just run Ultramarines tactics to be the most generic.

>chapter tactics
Get with the times grandpa

wait, what are you playing them as? The weapon option and the kit itself is throwing me off.

Victoria Miniatures. She designed them as Not Chemdogs (there are backpacks too but I didn't use them).

Thanks! All I've got so far is they're converted guardsmen of a Tzeentch cult, called The Tattered Promise. Hope your PTSD improves, friendo.

Salamanders thematically protect and assist baseline humans.

Raptors forward units take command of local military assets for maximum utility.

Mentors are basically a chapter of Creeds, and amplify local forces combat effectiveness by providing STRATEGERY where needed.

Warbringers and Raptors both employ camoflauge and look cool with guard units

Ultramarines keep their own private armies and fleets of baseline humans to supplement their own forces.

Here's something concerning
I saw on the US Games-Workshop site a lot of the older models are out of stock or 'email me'. Is it just me, or are they going to get rid of a lot of models/characters? Hopefully make newer versions?

>loli sister

SoS are essentially Primaris sisters already, they just won't get off their ass and make full kits.

They're terminators user...

They're whatever needs terminating

Is that polnareff model out yet?

Are all SoB players also weebs?

Asking for a friend.

Thats just a normal sister the two either side are Primaris Sisters

They're just being incredibly shitty about restocking, but it is happening. My guess is they're monopolizing most of the production time for the new 8th Ed. Stuff that is selling in volume right now.

If something is actually going out of stock it will show up under "last chance to buy" with a red hourglass. That's when you know it's going away.

How common is it to use recasts for most of a force? Just from a straight price point, it seems worth it despite the chinese resin, especially if you're like me and prefer HH models for chaos and want a nice contemptor for cheap.

>primaris sisters
>buff kink faction already
>gets super amazon upgrade
stop I can only get so erect

GW has been really behind on production.
They lost a lot of staff in that area a few months ago, and with increased demand from 8th, they've been very behind in getting product to distributors. We're only getting about 40% or so of the stuff we order.
It's a global problem afaik, and some products we haven't been able to get any stock of in over 2 months.

Worked on my leman russ demolisher and created this abomination of a dwarf sniper. Oh and I finished basecoating my Bullgryns.

There any better pictures of the SM codex yet?

Just wait one fucking week and there will be an epub up.

Drown in two inches of old bath water.

Recast users should have to register with the state, plus tell all of their neighbors and opponents that they are using unethical recasting trash.

Man up and budget your money.

Lost?

Or fired to stock up on sheckles?

Well, the Sisters player in my meta is a Final fantasy lovin', DBZ quoting, legit gay dude.

... are you actually retarded? not having enough staff to keep production up to demand means they're losing a lot of money.

I think Necrons are fun to play in 8th. The new reanimation is pretty cool, albeit worse than it's cancerous incarnation in 7th.

But are Necrons still good in 8th?
I ask because I have yet to play a 1500-2000 point match and people here keep saying that they suck now.

Given how wound allocations works now doesn't that mean it'd be best to give all the sweet as gear to a handful of dudes, keep a bunch of guys as cheap as possible to test on their armor value, and a couple guys with invul saves to eat big guns?

Or put another way, why would you take thunder hammer + storm shield on the same guy if you had a choice to put a thunder hammer on one guy and a storm shield on another

im confus

I don't work for GW, that's just what they told me when I asked why we haven't been able to get a single Imperial Knight since May.
Also have been almost totally unable to get any Orks at all recently.
Lots of them are showing up as in stock on their website when last I checked, so hopefully they'll be shipping some to distributors soon.

How is this remotely balanced or correct?

In other news, building my own custom Commissars because these command squad and vehicle accessory sprues cost damn well enough so I may as well use them. Tell me guardsmen, have you found it more useful to have a boltgun for long-range fire contribution, or would it be better to have a pistol so he can shoot into the melee? I'm leaning towards the former.

Any suggestions on how to convert Lias' Malice? Not sure about Raptorclaw either.

I got painted my Slaaneshi Soul Grinder last night, all that's left is the washes and a final layer of gold trim.
Probably would have finished it but I got drunk, high, and watched cartoons instead.

>epub

No one wants that shit.

A lot of necron players seem to think they can still get away with not taking any specialised anti-tank stuff, and just rely on gauss like last edition. This doesn't work, but rather than adapt their lists/tactics they just bitch on the internet about what a bad place necrons are in now.

This guy has most of what you need. Maybe lengthen the barrel on the boltgun.

MAN this reminds me of that one thing from the old 40k website that had a "generate your own alien monster" thing + gave a bunch of conversions and other monsters they had made. That was so so awesome.

I just noticed he only has a toe on the rock...

Do you guys know any Western language word that starts with L, and mean 'real' or 'genuine?'

Legit doesn't count sadly.

yup, time to keep your special weapon or heavy weapons guys alive till the end like 5th

How sad is it we're at a point where femarines are more likely than plastic sisters?

>no-one wants a file format where you can go to a specific page with a single click, and that remembers the last page you were looking at, rather than scrolling through the entire document every time you open it
Seriously though, what is the appeal of pdfs over epubs?

>genuine
Level?

As in "I'm going to level with you?

>people here keep saying that they suck now.

Why won't necron/admech players stop complaining about being the worst. I swear, it is weird. They aren't the worst

legitimatus lol

Too bad he is Primaris. Wouldn't his hand bigger than smaller marine arms? Like Terminator hands/weapons on PA marine looking weird thing.

I lovingly converted a Libraian on a Bike, only to find out they aren't in the new codex.

>:I

>getting this mad at someone who is not the enemy
Did I say that it was logical?
Take your meds.

All marines are going to be Primaris eventually, think of it as an investment for the future.

Who is considered the worst?

>scrolling

Fucking pleb, just type the number or use the search function.

>Do you guys know any Western language word that starts with L, and mean 'real' or 'genuine?
What?
Legitimate, legion, legal, law, hell fucking language.
user, are you legitimately retarded?

I'd let you play it, user-kun.

Tyrannitar?

I don't think Necrons are bad now, I just think they're at an all time low for blandness, and almost no thought at all was put into their army list.
Though I have no idea why a monolith costs almost twice as much now.

anyone have more?

There really isn't a clear shitter. Playtesting snark aside, GW actually vaguely had a semblance of balance among most factions for once, had because codices time now.
Factions bouncing around consideration for worst seems to alternate between Tau/orks/inquisition/some daemons among a few others too so far. But no decisive rock bottom

I'm not a native English/Latin-based language speaker and need help on vocab.

epub is basically the worst ereader format, desu.

>he thinks people buy recasts because they can't afford GW models
>rather then buying recasts soas to not support GW's business model

>cites ethics
>wishes others dead

Hey Guys I'm new to the hobby and recently bought and painted the Battle of Vedros starter set and found myself really drawn to the space marines as a faction.
Currently I own 1 Dreadnought
4 Space Marines
A Space Marine Seargent
A Captain
And a terminator
Currently I have just painted them the standard blue as I am not very aware of the lore apart from the set up to the universe with the Emperor and the Horus Heresy.
Anyway What I wanted to ask is there any recommendations as to what I should add to my army if I wish to play the game as of the latest edition?
Also what are some fun space marine chapters?

Only one I got famalam.

>GW's business model
Then play something else, dicksneeze.

Lecherous

>loli sisters
I didn't even know i need that in my life

i wanna say it's too early to tell but there's probably been a few tournaments by now

If you didn't support their business model you'd quit playing altogether, as any models you have out will encourage others to buy from GW

There's that, and some companies are just plain better.

Hell, I buy legs from Anvil Industries just so I don't have to spend half an hour shaving flash off of Guardsmen Pants for each squad.

Two warrors next to a ghost ark with a cryptek nearby seems to be the core of your army. You can beam down lychguard from your night scythe and let destroyers plink away at any enemy they don't like. Keep your warriors up front and your characters protected and you're set.

Dawww the babys are cute!

Hey that's a new one!

Hot Dam!

Ok. I'm still confused as to how you used the word "language," which stars with L, in your post, yet couldn't think of any western words that start with L.
What language do you speak and what are ypu needing L words for?

Because you CAN'T go to a specific page with a click, and you can't even variable zoom with mouse wheel, not with Readium.

A PROPER PDF with table of contents and bookmarks has way more function and intuitive navigation than an epub.

Epubs = Windows 10
PDF = an actual Windows OS like 95, 2000, ME, XP, 7, even Vista

This. So many retarded recastfags don't realize they're still supporting GW by advertising and playing their games. If you really want to fuck GW go play Warmahordes or X-Wing.

I'm gonna post some of my favorites, but rather than be a dick about sauce: Look up Steel Joe on Deviant Art.

he said he needed words that mean "real" or "true" and you gave him language.

...

i have considered the Deathbeam-laser flyer as dedicated anti-tank along with a Triarch Stalker.
but the fact that it only hits on a 4+ in its optimal condition is somewhat of a moodkiller.

Is it still worth the 45 point difference from a Nightscythe which can let you field Lychguards?

Is the Monolith actually any good what with the complete lack of defensive traits?
20 wounds isn't all that much in my opinion when the enemy has 3 different d6 weapons which ignores armor.

I'm genuinly curious.
