Warhammer 40k General /40kg/

Thanks for reminding me about a thing I was wondering about
Are nobz any good? Shooty nobz or choppy nobz, either way

How good are ork fliers this edition? I still have a Dakkajet lying around but never really used it since it just got shot to shit last edition. I'm really hoping it's decent now. Or any of the other versions, since I can just add the extra bomm bits pretty easily.

If you can get a charge, yes, they're pretty brutal. S5 without choppy upgrades hitting on 3s is pretty amazing.

I would also take a few cultists and maybe a 5 CSM squad with a heavy weapon for holding objectives. Going all into the face is fun but you will loose on objectives

my canon sensible marine raptor company only because i cant afford to buy my new DEldar army that i really want to collect

Is there any info out on how primaris marines recruit?

Dont forget to inxlude the new warbands from the new codex

+ all death guard variations
+ all khorne variations
+ all thousand sons variations

Pretty good for assembly line.
What were you procrastinating on ?
Not interested in the start collecting box ?

Both are good. I am doing 1 group of 10 PK boss/big choppa nobz and one of 5 kombi rokkit nobz.

DEATH GUARD CODEX WHEN?
NEW DEATH GUARD WHEN?

im going to buy Gangs of Commorragh because of the savings then prob get the starting box

...

Finish up my 20 pox walkers

I just use plaguebearers. I can't stand the sight of nu-nurgle models. Though gw's abysmal color schemes don't really help.

Jesus, OP, why don't you make pic related a little bit smaller?

Anyone have any ideas on how to make Kastelan Robors look less retarded? I think it's mainly the heads that do it for me.

I'll have a look again, I quickly skimmed through it, and only saw old warbands after each legion.

Travelling, working a job, travelling again, and, my best excuse, not having a daylight lamp to work.

Fill me in on Mechanicus
Which units are good?
Which units are trash?

>all these literally who warbands
>missing THE crimson slaughter

>Which units are trash?

This one.

> Play Howling Griffons
> be the envy of everyone because you have best rules and best painting skillz

Since I want it to be clean, I really want a picture that shows them with their colour scheme properly, like all the others, so a codex picture, from the front, without a weapon if possible. Couldn't find one on google but if you have one I'll take it.

but how do you differentiate them from Plaguebearers? imho, Poxwalkers are the old plague zombies, right? So Crypy Ghouls might be better.

Good: Kastelans, Onagers, Ranger Snipers, Cawl
Medium/tax: Dominus, Vanguard with Arc rifles, Destroyers, Infiltrators
Shit: Everything else

>csm codex gets released
>sales worse than every chaos codex before
>literally noone posts any lists on various wargaming forums, except a few WE ones
>2 stores, 1 chaos guy that switched to (lul) Orks

Guess that release fell flat on its face.

Guess I'm gonna wait for the Codex
> tfw you miss Skitarri and not having to take an HQ

Good
>triple Phosphor robots
>Electropriests dealing mortal wounds up the wazoo
>Neutron Onagers

Oh look. Ultramarines happen to have the most successor chapters.

Make your own, man. Let them be YOUR DUDES.

How do I make craftworld-only, no ynnari Eldar not suck balls?

There are a few pictures of renegade warbands in the new codex (including red corsairs, and an alternate scheme for the purge) but they're not in the same style that you want. Will post them anyway in case they're of use.
1/4

Sweet.

Why GW is cheating with Konor? I mean, they gave chaos a head start (75/25) and now they are tweaking results.

2/4

Because they need to keep the idea alive that chaos matters, when we all already know Xenos are the actual threat.

...

...

I NEED THEM IN MY 40K SO FUCKING BAD

Thanks man, keep going, I'll see if there's any I can add.

For now the Scourged is missing so that's one. I'm still about 30 shorts.

Making the SM roll table like I want it to be done, clean, logical, was hard, but this one is downright nigh impossible since CSM are not as expanded upon.

Gonna work on my Bloat Drone today.

Looks a bitch

They are not.

Why don't the Minotaurs have helmets like those?

Funnily enough, the Blood Disciples are almost all destroyed by BA and Lemartes in a short story, after summoning Skarbrand.

>excludes death guard and thousand sons
>after drawing in tons of DH and TS players with new releases
>didn't sell as well as the last codex
It's just the result of them splitting up the factions, double the codexes doesn't mean double the sales.

Add Corpus Brethren and Violators on the Slaaneshi row

Perfect, had none of those!

Hmm feels like the colour scheme and iconography of the Deathmongers and The Grey Death are the wrong way round.

>make the entire setting in to imperium vs chaos with all the xenos just a side faction
>muh cycle of extinction
>big chaos vs imperium campaign, no npcs allowed
>turns out chaos isnt even that popular to such an extented that one side is near absent from the fight
Well great, chaos got btfo, what's the step of GWs master plan?!

Good catch, I'll make sure to put the right name on the table. Just hope the wikis writers will see it too.

All right, got the DG line filled. Still short on many others, AL first among them.

Do people still buy Cawl? Thinking about getting a triumvirate box for Greyfax/Celestine but I have zero use or interest in Cawl.

i just cant get over the fact that its just a leather clad biker dude with a helmet and a cuirass on

Lychguard and Anrakyr, because playing as Necrons is unfun right now, but painting is still good.

What changes would you like to see?

Please. I was there, when the fourth planet mission started and it was 75/25 from the start. Then Imperium slowly but steadily was gaining on chaos and now, out of nowhere, chaos is back in the game.

I fucking watched it, user. They always start out weird, 2 weeks ago it was fucking 90% chaos on day 1 for that planet.

Chaos has been gaining ground every week. Look at the other planets, a slow progression towards Chaos taking the lead.

Either less Imperium players are doing stuff, more Chaos are or Xenos are flipping.

Thanks guys; I tought GW "forgot" to make cult marines as troops, any more info?
Also, what else do you think could be good ina WE army?

Cawl is mandatory for Admech above 1000 points.

75/25 of what though? Could have been

45pts vs 15pts, whereas now it is 4000pts vs 3900pts.

Till we know absolutes, percentage is useless.

...or GW is tweaking results. Since the playerbase didn't change and imperials still are majority - there's no way they can loose, even with xenos siding with chaos (games between imperial armies still count as imperial wins), unless GW is fucking with results.

Decent affordable anti tank, or buff the infantry weapons to make them anti tank, like in 7th. increased range on annihilation barges, larger buff bubbles from characters. We only need a couple of things to bring us up to where the other armies are.

Not painting. Assembling. Chainglaive arms are a nightmare, but I like how my counts as warp talons turned out.

Anvil Industry has some chainglaives as well I think. A bit late now but you might want to look at them.

>buy a land raider box
>sprue is marked 1999

How many of these things did they make back then to still be selling them 18 years later

It's just the date when the mold was made you silly. I bought some jetpacks on the website, the sprue said 2004, but the plastic was clearly recent.

>grey knights get released
>Have all this generic space Marine stuff you didn't have before!
>also you can convert your DKs into Grandmasters!
>heres a special character from a boxed set you can now get solo!

>Oh... CSM... Hi...
>Yea, so we'll have to errata cult troops
>and Daemon Princes I guess
>What? Drop pods?
>yea... we can't let you convert those...
>what about abbadon? Yea. He's still here
>Um, anyway, we have more Primaris stuff to release, so good luck with that campaign and everything

You can't handle losing very well, can you?

There is no proof of tampering and it seems like it's just a natural progression. It's a known fact that if people think their side will win, they are less likely to participate themselves. Or maybe the Imperium wanted it less than Chaos so they stopped.

You don't know what is going on and immediately jumping to "GW is changing it!" Shows paranoia. Maybe they are, but jumping to it first is silly.

Oh, right. I am very silly, yeah.

...

I guess one thing that may be happening is stores submitting their results in a big batch, either at the end of a gaming evening or when they open next morning and it's pretty quiet. If a lot of stores do that, you may see some funny looking swings as a load of points come in at once.

Have two dakka jets and deploy them at the flanks on your army.

Make sure they have 6 supashooter and that each plane targets every gun at whatever you want to hit. I usually kill about 1-2 units in the first turn this way. Usually after that they target everything at the planes. Which is good since your main goal is to get your boys in close combat.

Why do they wear the masks?

>Listen to the Black Legion audiobook
>that emotion in Abaddon's voice in the Sigismund chapter
>The earnest joy that Abaddon feels when he sees Sigismund
>that heart felt plea Abaddon gives Sigismund to hear him out and understand why they are doing this
>the sorrow and disappointment Abaddon feels when realizes that Sigismund is too gone becoming a champion of ignorance and unthinking zealotry
>the moment when Abaddon kneels over the fallen Sigismund to tell him to that rest now in peace
>the moment when Abaddon has champions respectfully carrying Sigismund body to the captured Templar ship
>the solemn moment when Abaddon gently cleans Sigismund face of blood
>All this emotion and respect was received with coldness and hate by Sigismund to the very end

WTF I hate loyalists now. Poor Abaddon and damn the Emperor for forcing him to slay a former brother that he admired greatly.

Doesn't mean it was made in 99, thats when the mould was made.

Actually, I cheer chaos in all this (I have Black Legion army, along with Ultramarines, IG, orks and GCult). But I don't like the idea chaos won some planets because GW decided it would look stupid, especially when Mortarion miniature is coming up.

Shoo ADB, shoo. Sigi was and always be in he right.

That's what my store does

>what about abbadon? Yea. He's still here
>one, if not the main villain of the setting
>gets mentioned non-stop in the lore
>has entire 40k campaigns based around his exploits
>shitty 20 year old resin model
Really boggles my noggin'.

Funny how Abby is portrait as this noble, reasonable and intelligent person in ADB's latest book when in all the early HH novels he was the most hot-headed and ruthless commander of the bunch. It's almost like somebody is trying to make it look like getting corrupted by Chaos does the opposite of what it does and has done in the fluff since Chaos has been a thing.

I like Chaos/Renegades best. What book should I start with?

Shouldn't gone traitor then, Ezy.

thanks a lot dubsbro :)

They didn't screw with the clean sweep in AoS's campaign, they won't in this.

>so volatile underlings would kill themselves than bring him bad news
>used to have a rule where he would open fire on his own men if they fled
>shiggy spits in his face and he starts crying
Maybe he's just insecure?

>there is not a single black person in warhammer
Why is this horrific racism allowed

Dude, you confirmed to me that you haven't read the Black Legion novel. Abaddon during his pilgrimage changed from his previous self becoming an idealist of sorts. Khayon in sadness notes that Abaddon (and the entire group of friends) changed after they picked up Drach'nyen and fully gained the attention of the gods. Abaddon became more warped by the endless screaming of the Chaos Gods in hios head coupled with Drach'nyen's continuous sinister whisper. He became consumed by dark rage and ambition., dimming the idealism that he started with.

So you have three versions of Abaddon bnorn from his character development.

30K Abaddon-------> Pre-Drach'nyen Abaddon--------> Post-Drach'nyen Abaddon (current Abaddon)

Hopefully, we will gain the fourth version at some point in the future (Dark Emperor Abaddon).
