Would have to toss in the Canticles readjustments, since that rule is literally just called Archmagos, but yeah, that's probably what we're going to get.
I completely forgot about Stratagems, probably because I have exactly the amount of stuff to run a full Patrol and nothing else and thus hardly ever get to use them anyway.
Picking up another SC Skits box and probably some Archmagos parts soon so I can run a proper Battalion.

rate my doods. was up until 530 am painting.

wat

Strip em, try again
looks good user

Nice, if a little bit monochrome.

better than mine/10

In their time of dire need in Baal Bobby G showed up and saved their bacon no Sangy needed friend.OH! And a bloodthirster.

How strict are people about wysiwyg? Wanna start playing pick up games soon and am currently converting blood warriors into khorne zerkers. The obvious go to seems to be axes+chainswords, but it would make them look dumb, since all chainswords I have come from the basic CSM box, meaning they're all left hands. Will anyone bitch if I give pistols to some?

Solid 9.5/10

>How strict are people about wysiwyg?
That's a very broad question, faggot.

But who would win in a fight between this guys and MAXIMUM OGRE-LOAD

Varies from place to place, but the normal rule is it shouldn't be confusing for your opponent. If every model has the same loadout then that's easy to remember, however they're actually built. But if say some in the unit have pistols, and a different number of models have pistols, then that'll probably be a problem.

So sad they didn't give Vindicare and Callidus a better pose (aiming with sniper rifle, slashing/thrusting forward)

are the death guard foetid bloat drones any good? got 2 atm, thinking about getting 2 more.

There's nothing in any book saying that model has to have the wargear on the model, and a lot of kits don't even have all the dex options. If they bitch, they are sons of whorus and deserve no respect.

Maybe wait to see if the alternate loadouts are good, we know they're getting at least one different gun.

I was going to ask if a Meganobz/Megaboss kitbash would work but GW already answered my question.

>when you drop your models in acetone and try to fix the mistake

My money's on John Thicc

That doesn't fix the problem of non-Mars armies having a single HQ option that costs an arm and a leg.

The Index cut extra deep because it took an army with minimal customisation and cut it back even further, removing options for better and more unique invuns (Stasis fields were fun for when an opponent decided to throw their really big guns on my HQ)

> Greyfax about to get Mc'Fucked up by Typhus.

Why is Typhus dancing

>Greyfax about to get HIVED by Typhus
FTFY.

He has finally been taken by the merriment of Papa Nurgle.

>implying typhus can survive that many hot shots and Volleyguns

>the grand cultivator of her foetid garden approaches

Because its a plague party and everyone's invited

>Disgustingly resilient+Termie armor.
Witch bitch is toast senpai.

>it might be called manreaper but i don't discriminate, bitch

so those 2 dudes with manreapers and capes, anyone else think they'll be packaged in with Morty as a bodyguard

>There's gonna be a reaping of your sweet, sweet ladycrop, Miss Greyfax

>AP-2 spam
You havent face 8th scion have you?

So how are Imperial Knights and Imperial Knight armies doing this edition ? Are they under or overpowered or is the chivalry at just the right level ?

>tfw morty is chaos celestine

>Implying NewThyphus won't have T6

>Typhus pose
>FREEEDDDOOOOMMM

well that'll be changed

Also Morty better have different heads like Magnus or that'll piss me off further

A converters work is never done

>T6 thanks to Mortarion's proximity
>-1/-2 to hit thanks to Mortarion aura and Miasma
>reroll failed DR rolls
yeah nah

>Codex AM next
Dude, was the leaker actually right?

I'm going to laugh hard when GW fucks it up

What is that worth in points, 20,000+?

Which is better for grey Knights, when taking a grand master in NDK- hammer or sword? 5 (or six with ancient) attacks that reroll 1's and hit on 2's with the sword is great (statistically 97% hit), and it's S10 with d6 damage, but the hammer- while hitting on 3's- is guaranteed at least D3 with AP-4 and S12.

The strength boost is virtually worthless except against T6, but the definite damage boost and better AP seems nice.

it's looking that way, tho didn't he say AM simul release with nids?

Didn't he say AM and Orks or something?

No it was with Tau

It was AM and Dark eldars

To the user who owns the Mega containing the errata commented PDFs: could you please update Imperial Armour Adeptus Astartes to v1.2? Thanks!

anyone got a screencap since no one knows?

Not great atm, but I always have decent anti-tank in my lists. Usually die first turn from 6-7 lascannons hits and have only played against 3 total.

They're solid. Do well in traditional tournament lists because everyone's built to fight hordes and spam, but the growing trend of 'gimmicky' armies (10 Slannesh terminators, 3 quad-las predators, HQ bombs, etc.) can fight them pretty well.

Usually it goes- when I take a full knight army- that my opponent can reliably kill 2, in extreme cases 3, but never wipe them. People just don't bring enough heavy firepower to carry on through an entire match.

What's the average Space Marine K/D ratio against CSM, Orks, Nids, etc. With the Chapter size limit and long recruitment process I'll never understand how they are not wiped out due to attrition. Honestly asking not trying to troll.

Pick a color for your assassins. Straight black is just wait too dark and looks like you primed 'em and left 'em done.
Mix up any color: blue, purple, whatever, and darken it up the the point of near illegibility.
Paint that on super thin like on the upper layers of your assassins' spandex, and leave the recesses mostly black.
Then, wash the hell out of it.

BAM! Dark, sexy assassins that aren't monochromatic.

What ever the plot says. Marines in 40k do not make sense. At least in 30k they had somewhat proper sizes

Honestly sword.
Good stats. Hammer ONLY wins vs big models. And most of the time your hammer is overkilling shit and hurting your damage vs everything else

It's best not to think too much about it. It's one of those things in novels and stories that requires an amount of suspense of disbelief that is hard to muster for me.

>monochromatic

But user, monochromatic IS sexy.

>shooty terminators on the left
>3 terminators with scythes closer to Mortarion
>plastic plague marines on left side of pic
>plague marines with melee weapons behind Mortarion
>bloat drones have three different shells
>drone in middle has triple-barreled weapon attached to a fuel cannister
>two death guard vehicles in far back
>Typhus doesn't hold a candle to the Lord of Contagion conversions

If you look there are actually three of them, and considering the other terminators are also in a group of three I think the terminator squad is going to be a three model kit,that you can build as either shooty or melee.

So we got the new tanks, new lords of contagion, deathshroud, typhus, and some new makes for the blight drones.

>knight base cost is 320
>guns are around 90
>melee options are around 30
That's around 440 per knight since I don't see many carapace weapons.
>29 x 4400 = 12,760

Shit, I didn't even realise there was a 1.2 for that. It's uploading now.

>chaos might lose again
Man those guys need more soul grinders for an all out assault.

whoops, did not mean to quote you, user

So mixing equipment on the models, but playing them all equiped with same shit is considered ok?

I blame Chad marines.

Can I use pic related as a nurgle daemon prince? Cause I hate the look on the ones from games workshop.

Name my new chaos lord with axe and a plasma pistol.

Awesome, cheers!

Looks more like a a big oblitirator. But Chaos stuff is always changing and mixing, so I would allow it.

General Bloodlick

Kon'groth Skulleater

Good advice. When I'm in the store tomorrow I'll pick up some dark purple and give this a try.

Lord Cunt-mangler.

Lord Strawberry Robinsons. Seriously, the red on the skull has me craving a jam sandwich.

Fucius Orail

well he has wings, can't see them on that pic tho.

Got the skull package I see.

Bob the Slobberer

God that looks awful, and not good nurgle-awful

Barry

you can use the GW WD style for highlighting black : Dark Reaper and Fenrisian Grey.

>3 model kit
>$60

>so I would allow it
So what gives you the right to do the opposite?

Indeed. I am giving all of my 40 khorne berzerkers the skull base treatment.

How the hell do I pick one? Should have said a random number. Appreciate the suggestions /tg.

Been resisting because I already have about a 100 Space Marines, a good chunk of which still need paint. Even traded the Primaris part of the Dark Imperium ser off for another Nurgle half. Didn't bother looking up whether they were good or worth their points because half of the specialised ones looked silly to me.

But now I want some, so how are the Intercessors? Are they worth their points? I assume Hellblasters are stronk.

Careful, user...

You can refuse to play against someone user.

>Death Cult Assassins
>2 failcast models
>$16
Take that back, all things consider DCA are fair price by comparison

Depends on how you want the feel to be. A buddy of mine gave all of his Berzerkers intentionally foul and violent names. Asked us all for suggestions. It was a good time.

>those assassins
WHY

Bloodolf Headler

Prince nigger Jew, the rogue son of KNJ

Lord Penis from Dickenburg

Man with all these day 2 FAQ's I'm really hesitant to buy Collectors ED's.

Maybe we should ask GW to make Collectors foolproof Edition of codexes 6 month after main codex release.

>refusing to play against a dude because of a conversion he did
You sound like a gigantic faggot

He's a big lad.

I could always get this and try to make it more nurglish

Skullfucker "I fucked your granny's skull" Necrotic Phill, Fucker of Skulls.

for the Emperor

You can get this one for the low low price of 52$ dollar. Fuck those new plastic with option 60$ kits.
