So does no FW mean no FW upgrade kits to make stuff look cooler? What if I play Ultramarines and want to actually make them look Roman?

First for the Drukhari!

So why do chaos contemptors get a 3+ save, but the imperial version gets a 2+?
Is it just made out of more gundanium than the chaos one or what?

And how did they manage to lose the lascannons for the chaos version?
Seems really arbitrary

Incoming blog post:
I wish I could get a permanent ban from Veeky Forums that blocked all access to the board, but moot removed that last bit and from what I've seen permanent bans tend to be site-wide. I need to get away from Veeky Forums though, but I can't help myself when I'm bored. But in the 9 years I've been here it's just the same shit. The buzzwords, names and specifics have changed, but it's the same 40k arguments over and over and over again. And yet I'm evidently here forever despite it.
At least there's art threads.

Whats the point of taking Assault Terminators with lightning claws when Tartaros Terminators can do the same thing and get an extra inch of movement?

Seriously, is there any reason not to take thunder hammers on all your AT's?

I've been playing 40k since early 3e. Believe me when I say that idiots on the Internet have been saying GW is going to go under, Sisters are going to get plastics, and Sisters are going to get squatted since time immemorial.

Generally Chaos stuff is either heavily touched (i.e. ruined by the warp) or lacks the logistics to properly keep their 10,000 year old shit maintained properly.

Even if Tartaros weren't introduced, lightning claws terminators would still be invalidated. People only took them for the extra attack and the ability to not go last, which are both invalidated now unless I'm forgetting something.

They look cool? A lot of units still don't really fill a mechanical role well, so just take em if you like vanilla Terminators. You know, the best ones.

Chaos players use all your soul grinders! We can win this!

What is your 40k guilty pleasure?

I unironically love the edge marines

Liking what Carnac doesn't like. Also the Edgy Korps of Krieg despite how much I mock them for being overly edgy.

How long until Luth starts drawing Guardsmen and Slaaneshi rape porn and Orks with with dicks? Greed is serious motivator.

chaos terminators with tusks, I find them badass.

I don't play them but I think most tau battlesuit models are pretty cool

I like Abaddon, and I think the Black Legion is cool.

Liking the Black Legion and Ultramarines. Also the cultists snap-fits are my favourite models.

It's a shame BL has reduced liking Abaddon to a guilty pleasure.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
Luth doujins would probably great.

Rule 34 of 40k. I mean, duh.

You still get an extra attack for a pair of lightning claws. You also don't get the to hit penalty of the thunder hammer.

Death Korps and Shitty Headcannon. Those two aren't necessarily related.

I dunno why people aren't fond of how the "good" guys of 40k (Tau), would be the big bad in most other works (Star Wars, or really anything scifi-fantasy ish)
Really adds more to 40k than another flavour of out grimdorking one another

I base my favorite armies entirely off of waifu potential.

Ah, I forgot the extra attack got written into the claws. But a -1 to hit is far preferable to I1, at least imo.

No they would not, they are better than Galactic Empire from SW, they don't have grizzled cruel commanders like Vader or Tarkin.

Tau are not the good guys. I hate this damn meme. I hate the fucking shits who won't shut up about it at my store. I hate fucking moral fags screeching about how Tau are the only right choice. Fuck them, I just wanna push little plastic men around on a table top I don't care who is "good" or "bad" and I don't want to hear about how I'm a horrible person for not playing Tau. I wish they'd just fucking leave me in peace.

I find the 40k memes amusing

So question; Would taking a Troupe of Harlequins and a Warlock beat taking a Squad of Scourges and a Kabalite Squad?

The rest of the Army will be D-Scythe Wraithguard and Yvraine.

Hard mode user: waifu the Tyranids.

I enjoy a lot of cringy shit from 1d4, and I will not apologize for it, though I do have the good sense not to bring it up on the board.

Speaking of lightning claws, are they just completely worthless on Chaos marines now that Exalted Champions exist and are likely a common sight across lists?

Both are neat, but as you have literally no ranged game otherwise, take the scourges

...

Yeah Luth should draw diaper, guro and malepreg Orks.

Put it in "" for a reason
But clearly you've got some issues.

GE is bad guys. Tau would be be a different flavour of bad guy, join us or we'll murder you all. Maybe sterilize or mysterious plague if you're unlucky

Exalted champs are pretty sweet but also have a fair bit of competition for hq slots. So depends on the rest of your list. Lord or Apostle backing up a bunch of lightning claws would be pretty solid.

I... I like primaris marines

GE makes massive purges and genocides, Tau o not.

Shitty memes

So with them being the poster boys and all, would I be looked down upon for playing Ultramarines with no Chads, just Marines, probably in Mk4 with all the heresy era FW upgrades to make them look proper Roman?
I just want a Roman themed army, and Ultramarines justify it. I could just say they got time traveled from a warpstorm on teh way to Ullanor.
Although what would they think of the legion now? What would Guilliman think of them?

Only place where I could see Lightning claws being used are deep strike lists, but even then. Everyone's gaga over Berserkers now

>hating LCAss termies

If you dropped the tau into a less grim dark sci fi setting it'd be interesting to see if they stopped doing shit like that and became outright good guys, or continued being somewhere in the middle

People will look down on you for playing 40k. Who gives a shit

Right, Right. The Scourges are excellent for spot Removal, horde Clearing and Character sniping if they aren't careful. But is there anything else besides Kabalites, I ponder.

...

I like how the Primaris Marines look. I don't use them, but if I still like their models.

Me too. Models look nice and the fluff is fine.

I wish I could say I wouldn't.

But I would.

desu my friend group looks down on bog standard smurf players, but if you have some roman flair then I would probably reconsider

...

The worst part is that now internet aged authors are getting involved. But they do it through private internet accounts and sometimes come off as defensive and arrogant, like any other neckbeard who has found someone who likes or dislikes what he dislikes or likes and it's made the whole cycle that much worse.
Though to be honest, I didn't really notice it until Carnac showed up under his first guise of TIDF and we started having literally the same threads over and over which have only gotten worse with time.

Liking 40k. My friends dont know and im like a closeted gay about it

>But is there anything else besides Kabalites

For their price point, not really

why

It's lead by "Queen" and is literally tentacle monsters. That's fucking easy mode.
Orks are the hardest waifu

Bob would like them better because he misses old times. They would be shocked by how awful has become Imperium.

It does make lightning claws a bit more attractive over the old version, as long as you're wanting to kill single wound infantry.

because 40k after improvements is still a bad game.

Hell, I'm playing 40k because every game company I liked has completely shat their bed and ones I don't like are the ones keeping theirs afloat

The trope of protagonist from some small happy nowheresville that gets conquered by some militaristic conquering empire and he/she must save everyone. Is pretty rote, and Tau fit that antagonist empire pretty neatly.

Nothing comically evil, but not below mind control/sterilization/mystery diseases/oppression

Now that is what I'd call death by snu-snu

Because he obviously plays Dark Angels. It's the only explanation.

...

Friends are bros/chads, GF's only frame of reference is her forreal autist cousin blowing almost 10k of inheritance on FW models

LOL I DID play DA! Now I play Orks

I'm autistic, and even I think that cousin is a retard.

Dat's a green humie with bad chest gubbinz. Not ard, no dakka, not choppy, or rippy.

>ywn have a Lictor Maid Waifu greet you when you come home
>ywn snuggle up to your xenos gf
>ywn give her pets

Just end my life senpai.

Did he buy a fleet of Mantas?

Or did he legit buy into that Titan Legion 5 pack they were selling?

Not 'nuff musklez and teef.

Once you go green, you never go...

Shit, I had something for this.

Well....Normally I don't look at alien space locusts and think to myself " I wanna fuck that". Strange, I know, but thems the breaks.

...

If they can't accept a fairly innocuous hobby like this they're not great friends/gfs

Not saying you should expect them to start playing it or anything, and maybe the sex and companionship is worth it, but it's not a good sign in general

So do gauss blasters, power armor is the new T-shirt save.

So I think I accidentally made a new guy quit the game with this list. Did I do well Veeky Forums?

It was Titans, not sure which ones. Never met the guy

I need that model but I can't find it anywhere

Play what you want man, don't let retarded memes keep you from choosing the army you want. I love the Space Wolves and it doesn't matter how many dumbass furry jokes I have to deal with because I still enjoy playing the army.

>stomps noob
>expects praise
no

Will people expect my alpha legion detachment to be in proper colors or is it cool to just say they are in disguise?

tbf I didn't know he was new when I was playing cause he was spamming some retarded assassin shit and conscripts

so what is your strat when using snipers on IG? who do you target first?

my friend plays space doggies, and he just can't get the hang of them. any tips?

Its kitbash from various Forge World and other parts.

He had some commissars and a tech priest that just kept healing whatever my buddy was hitting his tank for, so I shot the fuck outta that tech priest, then killed his commissars with the dreads. They're fucking broken with a 3+ save no matter what, plus a 6+ fnp. Also any SW units get to reroll hits of 1 within 6" of Bjorn.

...aint no other peen?
There fine with it I'm just at an age (27) where I would find it uncomfortable if it came up at a social function.

I still would

It isn't as bad a hobby as other things, like not as weird as MTG people.
Just keep it reasonable.
>I like collecting, building and painting these as a hobby as I've found it relaxing. Striving to improve my painting finesse is something that has got me driven lately.
Make sure you collect normie models like marines or mech dudes, no edgy/degenerate like slaanesh

So can someone help me understand Battleforged armies?

If I have a Battalion Detachment, I'll have 3 CP. If I want to add a unit of Hellblasters, that takes away 1 CP, correct? And where do I find that thing to upgrade my Captain into a Chapter Master?

Because the loyalist one is a relic and requires another elite slot unit for each contemptor you take

Jihadist themed Orks

...

I not only like primaris, I love aggressors and am thinking about running 12 inceptors. I only wish there had a cheaper transport option for intercessors

how effective do you find snipers? I made a squad of marauders for my chaos army and they get two snipers in a 5 man squad for 35pts. I could make another squad if I end up liking them

Lines of Firewarriors backed by Hammerheads

I didn't like them in my list, but they definitely served their purpose. I think they would've been a lot better if I could afford to stick more in there. The dreadnoughts definitely tore shit up tho so well that I'm considering dropping murdershit and taking another venerable with axe just because they were so effective.

Results may vary, most of em hit on 3s and will wound on 4s or 5s depending on the character. Since you're shooting for 6s for those sweet mortal wounds, more is better here. So if ya want to take snipers, take big squads of them.

space knights

homeboys about to get krumped by those exceedingly more point efficient models

marauders are cheap, but only get 2 per squad. that is my best option as chaos afaik

I too like edge marines, so much in fact that I play them.

Ave Dominus Nox, We have come for you, etc etc.
