Warhammer 40.000 General /40kg/

It costs marines the same points to get far less and a lot more points to get a Primaris also with far less. Don't know why people were saying Tallyman sucks yesterday, he is a steal, just like Guilliman. You might not auto take him in every build, but when you do, he is super under costed.

I Just realised that the last battle infected Perturabo.
They will mark the "undivided" princes too.
Pert will be another Nurgle.

If there was a God whose aspect represented autism it'd probably be nurgle.

A common trait of autism is the enjoyment of repetition, and the hate of change. Tzeentch is quite a chaddy God in that respect since constant change requires confidence and a lack of fear.

Wait, I can target a character with shooting if I just shoot them outside of the shooting phase? Ynnari it is, conscripts shall die.

Wish he had a mace of contagion but he is cool

Chaos god of autism is Carnac.

Anyone else setup a bunch of weak dudes on a table just so you can watch your guys slaughter them when you're alone?
I don't even play with other people, can't stand watching my guys die.

I wanna do a new tau army with a lot of piranhas but i need some anti tank. Any suggestions l? I know piranhas have fusion blasters as an option but I'm not sure if they're enough

He has no melee weapon, just his fists which is weird.

Also according to the lore, they are the quartermasters of Chaos.

That's retarded and sad to read user.

>is carnac

This triggers me.

There are people at my store who just pathologically but thing.
>buy rulebooks for armies they don't own
>buy models of armies they'd like to have but never build them
>bought shadow war/blood bowl but hasn't even bothered to look at the rules
>bought some huge, super expensive forge world model for a dare
>doesn't paint models
>they rarely play 40k
Explain these people to me Veeky Forums, I just can't comprehend this. It's like booking a flight just to hold the ticket in your hands and never board the plane.

>braces hands in a triangle three point hold to steady the miniature

You sound like you cant handle loseing

I do.
Why can't GW make a couple of singleplayer missions for us people who hate competitiveness?

Being made casualty doesn't mean they are dead, just that they are incapacitated and unable to further contribute in this particular skirmish.

when the government gives you money for not working, you become conditioned to not work.

Painting things is work.

Fusion crisis commanders are the best tau unit right now and are anti tank

Spam those in the HQ detachment

Pathfinders with railguns, even if you run as minimum squads of 5 and you still get 3 rails per team

Not only that but its possible to trigger further soulbursts by casting word of the phoenix and killing commissars in the psychic phase to kill more commissars and trigger more soulbursts.

Are there any singleplayer 40k missions out there? Surely someone has made a few.

I solitaire pvp Veeky Forums games like TCGs and 40k all the time. It's the only way to play with them at home alone. Not as fun but good for testing

Well, then I think I can deal with nids and IG, as ynnari, but what do I do against orks and their free +30 leadership?

>the nurgulite walk
>the tzeentchian stride

Hi.

>resolve not to purchase anything until backlog shrinks
>only purchase have been three limited edition models
>backlog is still growing faster than I'm painting

Tyranid swarmbox + scatter die + objective markers, boom instant SP/Co-op mode. Its even kinda fluffy as the swarm is lacking a synapse so they are reverting to basic instincts and the nids in the box are easy as hell to paint if you wanted to or even just practice your technique on them

>suddenly Tyranids are your new main army

Only reason I haven't done something like this yet.

Just a lore question : were there loyalist elements of the traitor Legions during the Horus Heresy ? If so, what happened to them ? How plausible would it be that a 40k-era Chapter secretly has a group of loyalist Death Guard or Iron Warriors Marines as its founders, that fact being hidden from all but from the Chapter's command structure ?

That's the blood ravens.

I have a Start Collecting Tau box and an extra FW box, what do I get next?

daily reminder that "enjoy your cancer" replies to FW and recast posts are either poorfags who can't afford real resin or retards who are too afraid to order from China using PayPal.

Must suck to be an NPC

There were a lot. Most of them died due to obvious reasons but many bands escaped to deep space or as black shields. Ultra marines also took in a lot of them

...

Silver skulls I think are loyalist iron warriors. Most loyalist elements of traitor legions got purged, same goes for traitor elements of loyalist legions.

Barabas Dantioch is pretty cool loyalist iron warrior.

>afraid of ordering anywhere with PayPal

Why? They have a money back policy for non delivery

I sometimes set up an IG command squad up on the table and roll them shooting up and charging against units usually fire warriors and pathfinders

Malcador Infernus, a bunch of Kairic Acolytes and tzaangors.

I have a stormlord from 30k sitting around collecting dust, any use for it in 40k if I don't actually want to play astra miltarum?

MkIIb Land Raider
Legion Praetor Tribune
Webstore Legion Centurion
Terminator Chaplain
2 Terminator HQs
10 Terminators
5 Devastators
5 Assault marines
20 Tacticals

Then I have to buy more shit to refill my backlog.

Most died in Istvaan 3.

Some survived and founded the elements of the inquisition and shit like the Grey Knights as far as I know.

Others like the Blood Ravens are suspected of being traitors. In their case they are either loyal Sons of Horus or Thousand Sons.

Please don't shitpost pretending to be me

even if you're right

Check your stores for an "optimized pathfinder" box, you need pathfinders for markerlight support and the devilfish can carry some breachers/firewarriors to another objective. After that you should consider a few hammerheads

There were loyalist in traitors legions and traitors in loyal legions.
Many of them became blackshields. Blackshields can be loyal to Horus or Emperor or themselves.
If you wan more info try lexi or ask on HHG.

>14 Plague Marines
>Lord of Contagion
>Malignant Plaguecaster
>Noxious Blightbringer
Can't decide whether to use paint scheme from the HH or current deathguard ones

Are orks any good in 8th?

I have about 4 semipainted armies.
As in, the models are semipainted.

But the later never comes.

Yes

Cool. What's good these days?

>timeless and immortal chads
>exist to suck chaos lord dick

>Just a lore question : were there loyalist elements of the traitor Legions during the Horus Heresy ? If so, what happened to them ?

Yes there were, they were probably taken in by the Inquisition during the second founding and renamed themselves to hide their past. If they use their own geneseed or the lineage they claim to be is up in the air.

Orks

>Lemartes
>The Sanguinor
>10 Assault Marines
>5 Death Company with jump pack

When I'm done, maybe I'll buy some Chads and a Deredeo dread from FW to spice things up.

which orks?

Thanks Shas'senpai

Read Flight of the Eisenstein
Good book about Loyalist Death Guard.
Also some think they might have become the Scythes of the Emperor chapter.

>If so, what happened to them ?

most of them ended up as "ultramarine successors"

No. Go back to playing your 30k World Eaters

/40kg/
you play game
why
gimmie details

Up for a batrep my fine anons? Played a 3000pt game vs Thousand Sons Wednesday. What about you Veeky Forums?

is it worse to have a backlog thats a greater proportion of your army? have 10 tzaangors and 3 rubrics unpainted, but only own that plus 7 more rubrics.

tfw intended on painting the rest of the rubrics over the weekendtfw only painted one

and a start collecting orks box that sits there and mocks me

Lots-of-boyz Orks.

I'm doing dirty bone color with green and bronze highlights for mine
So basically HH but dirtier.

Is it just the boyz, or are other ork units (such as dreds and other heavy support stuff) efficient?

id like to hear it. i play thousand sons and there arent many 8ed batreps on youtube so im curious as to how they play and what people are doing wiht their 1k sons army.

>3000 pts
That's too many points but then again I sat and watched a 15000 pt game irl once

Hordes of boys
Weird boys
Tank bustas
Sometimes kommandos
Warbosses
Battle wagons
Unironically, nobz in a naut

post it m8. I am hoping to get my first game ever in soon, dont know if I should bring Recon Tau or Deathwing

*childish shooting noises*

Spotted the taufag

How are corsairs? Space Elf Pirates were always my thing in 7th. Are they any good in 8th?

>Tesseract Vault
>6 Destroyers
>Redo my entire Death Guard army to update to 8th from 7th

One of those is gonna suuuuuuck

I play Tsons
25 terminators to your face, thousand sons

Well. They are no longer a army.

>4 squads of Skitarii
>Knight Paladin
>Magos
>Onager Dunecrawler
>Necropriestess from Raging Heroes

I just wanna paint them, but fuck me I'm scared to fuck up. There is a running joke in my group form the one model I painted: The puddingnaut. It was meant to be a helbrute test model, it looks like pudding spilled all over him.

I got squatted?

Shit.

that's a good reason

Hormagaunts vs termagaunts which are better as allies to GSC?

Death guard flail is awesome the more I think about it the more insane it gets. Finally a good answer to hordes an elite unit can wield.

Flail + death to the false emperor=d3 extra attacks. Add presience and they trigger on a 5+.

Flail+votlw & blades of putrefaction= 2d3 attacks per flail wounding on 2+ with re-roll 1s and mortal wounds on a 5+.

Flail+ diabolic strength = d3 extra attacks and str 8 on the flail .

Anyone else got any sweet flail combos?

I think they're called Ynnari now.

>Is Nurgle the Patron Deity of Autism in 40k?
Judging by Mortarion, the answer is yes.

Mental illnesses are still illnesses.

Well we decided to celebrate the end of FoK by having a big ass game. We did Maelstrom with both sides bringing two battalions because rerolls why the fuck not. Fully expecting to go second somehow the victorious Guardsmen stole the initiative of the battle. Lasguns flaring and knocking out swathed of the Daemonic horde as plasma fire shattered more of the Daemons. And sensing a great threat lascannons and a Battle Tank focused onto the traitor Sicarian damaging it heavily.

They very technically, still exist. wait for FW to fix it's shit, or play DE heavy Ynarii.

Anyone got a picture of the Aquila of the Dark Imperium?
It's split down the middle and one talon is holding thunderbolts.

>wait for FW to fix it's shit

You are craftworlder now.
