First for orks

Man i hope they pick that model up, it got dropped hard.

Nth for the Greater Good

god i fucking hate tyranids

Quick, post an idea for a chaos spawn model or conversion that you think would look cool. Slightly harder mode: one for each god and maybe undivided too.

You know a loose C'tan could be interesting: One that never met the Necrontyr, never got given a humanoid body. Just a huge cloud of gas drifting from star to star until some idiot provokes it.

Spare daemon prince head upside down on a fenrisian wolf's body, flamer of tzeench and horror arms suck to it's sides and green stuffed into place, replace tail with tentacle.

Reposting:
How much anti tank do I need in a 750 pt army?
Asking as a complete beginner.

Why the hate user? While nids aren't my favorite race, they have really cool monsters, are by far the most impersonal (and thus scary to deal with) faction, have great designs, and Genestealer Cults have some of the coolest fluff in the game.

Get cucked, faggot

Spore sack from a venomthrope with the smokestacks from a maulerfield and some trailing wires.

What if the reason Belakor is a Demon Prince with no master and a great and timeless destiny is because he's actually a loose, unbroken C'Tan?

>it's another "taufag posts faux-cryllic pseudo-soviet propaganda" episode
You fuckers will never stop being the cringiest 40k players.

Can't be true, doesn't explain his inherent weakness to rocks.

yeah youre right, theyre okay
please leave

at least one good dedicated unit with at least 4 lascannons or similar

Two cultist models cut up to be conjoined twins, then stick on a legless mutant riding them piggyback?

Not really, there's no more provoking it than taunting moss of lichen.

It need to be forcibly condensed in order to start perceiving event shorter than a millennium or less violent than a solar flare.

Actually, for even more ideas and stuff, even harder mode: create an idea for a chaos spawn fitting different legions.

C'tan are floating star-gods, rock is 4x effective against fire/flying.

Would you guys still play 40k if every unit had ammo for their ranged weapons?

>buy 12 Chaos spawn boxes
>pop out all the parts
>pour them in a box

What do you think they'll give guard, considering they only sell models for cadia and catachan?

And before anyone says it, kreig is forgeowrld and will have their rules in their books.

I'm thinking of adding some Mechanicus to my SOB force. What do you think would be the best addition there? How are those walker tanks they have, they look pretty good for long range anti-tank.

Do you think reasonable fluff for SOB and Mechanicus in the same army would be that a Shrine World and Forge World share a solar system, so they have to cooperate when it comes to the defence of the worlds providing their resources?

Explorator fleet sets up nebula mining operation and tries to harvest the loose C'tan's body.

yes but it would probably suck ass

>gue'las buttmad over the quality of our based media and culture
It's okay user, know that even with all your barbarism, the noble Aun'Va has seen to a place for you in the greater good should you choose to embrace it.

A Khornifex. Just, a big Ol' Mark of Khorne Carnifex.

>considering they only sell models for cadia and catachan?

They sell models for Mordian, Valhallans, Vostroyans, and Steel Legion. That + Cadia and Catachan is 6, 7 could possibly be Scions.

Herd of reindeer in the east of laplands licks lichen off a rock.

>quality
>based media
Typing in pseudo-cryllic is anything but quality, it just makes you look like an autistic leftypol crossposter.

Fair enough, the theory stands.

Neutron laser Dunecrawlers are pretty good long range anti-tank.

>The C'tan lacks mortal context, so it's as dumb as a lichen

the fluff sucks but whatever
buy an imperial knight or guard tanks, makes more sense

Say what you want user, but only one of us is sperging out over a choice in font.

>a choice in font
Dude, Cyrillic isn't a fucking choice in font, it's a completely different language. How dumb are you?

How do you know lichen haven't been mapping the universe by starlight for the last 400 million years?

Yes, they would be excellent. An Onager Dunecrawler with a Neutron Laser is the best anti tank weapon in the entire game, aside from super heavy or primarch bullshit. An Onager Dunecrawler with an Icarus Array is the best anti air gun in the game, especially now that everything from skimmers to jump pack infantry to fliers have the FLY keyword.

You could get away with the SoB and Admech butting heads over theological matters in the day to day running of the solar system, but putting their issues aside when the need arises. This happens very often in Commissar Cain novels. Remember both factions are made up of human beings (Skitarii are still, for the most part, human), and if you field a regular techpriest as your HQ rather than machine man thousands of years old, they could probably find a way to pragmatically get along on the battlefield.

Cool. Is there anything else notable that would be good? Are any of the assault units particularly good? Getting those infiltrators up alongside my Dominions first turn would be fun.

I rather like the look of the Mechanicus stuff. It's got a baroque look that matches well with the SOB models. Marines/Guard rather lack that.

>the noble Aun'Va has seen to a place for you in the greater good should you choose to embrace it.

Just as soon as he bothers to make an appearance that isn't a hologram.

You could make them both the last surviving remnants from the same ruined Sub-sector who have come to travel together as sort of inter-planetary refugee do-gooders. It's give them both a reason to always travel together, a unique flavor to your force, and maybe even show off a bit of the faction's humanity.

Alternatively, the Hereticus Inquisitor in charge of your SoBs used to be a tech priest and after obtaining enough power to get them as a fighting force, made one of the orbiting moons a Shrine World and uses them as his or her own personal execution force.

>hating best race
Shit taste, shit taste.

To back up SoB? I'd imagine you mostly want long range dakka from the Dunecrawlers. Infiltrators are a fun distraction unit that can pack a severe punch against hordes though.

Are /pol/fags getting triggered by a font choice now of all fucking things?

>Infiltrators are a fun distraction unit that can pack a severe punch against hordes though.
They can also get pretty disgusting with Doctrina Imperatives now, hitting on 2+ with 3 hits instead of one from a 5+ in CC.

>a font choice
How goddamn uneducated are you fucking Taucommies?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script
Read up and learn you dumbasses! It's literally a completely different alphabet.
>muh /pol/!
Literally not relevant to this at all, not that I browse /pol/ anyways.

Why'd you guys take out the Death Guard Codex pdf Mega Link?

I can't find the master link, all I have is from my history tab.

I'm both amused and disturbed by how legitimate you think your grievances are.

How the fuck is that /pol/ related?

I'm just saddened that so many uneducated retards browse this site. That's it really.

>guy points out that faux-cyrillic is retarded
>he must be from /pol/?
I mean, he's pretty stupid to come into a setting full of faux-latin in gothic script, and complain about people playing up a pulp-fiction ideas of Soviet propaganda for a side faction. But you are just completely retarded.

Yeah, I think I'll pick up the Dunecrawlers to start off. Long range anti-tank is an area I could do with a bit more help. Though the change in 8e to how vehicles work made exorcists happier there they can be a bit unreliable.

From there I might expand into other stuff but that seems a fun thing to start with.

Depending on the implementation, sure

Fleshmower when? I need to mow flesh!

The Start Collecting! box is a nice start. You get the dunecrawler and enough other stuff to have a patrol detachment.

Should I buy Hoplites or Peltasts?

anyone know of any kool admech paint schemes, i play word bearers and daemons and im soooo tired of painting red.

A lot of ranged-only units would get pretty miserable at that. With Tau, Necrons or SOB trying to melee when the ranged weapons run out.

This is what it has almost always been, just scream /pol/ at whatever content/opinions you don't like.

>unironic use of the term "autistic leftypol"
>weird fringe insistence on something no rational human being would actually get upset about

Not that user, but I could see how he could jump the gun and draw that conclusion. The clown shoe of /pol/ fits, but then it's so massive that most retards can fill it.

For now probably whichever one you think looks cooler, considering neither have 8th ed rules yet.

>/pol/fag literally spergs out that some guy typing in some stupid font "looks like leftypol"
>m-muh communism
>how dare you accuse me of being from /pol/ after I dragged politics into 40kg again like a humongous faggot
You fags always immediately get so defensive when someone calls you out for being from the autism containment board lol

>And that was when I knew I was dealing with bait

jolyne a qt

>weird fringe insistence on something no rational human being would actually
lmao. if this is /pol/ then the entirety of Veeky Forums and especially the 40k people on Veeky Forums are /pol/. refer to this

Then maybe stop starting political shitfits in an unrelated thread on an unrelated board you insufferable fat faggot, lol

There's a game called the others 7 sins which costs about 20 quid and comes with 6 amazing spawn models that are tailored .

Pic is the gluttony one which is perfect for nurgle spawn. There's sloth ones which work too. There's also lust for slaneesh, wrath for khorne and envy/pride for tzeentch.

do hoplites and peltast work like their ancient namesakes or nah?
because if they do I might have to start ad mech

>political shitfits
>pointing out that someone is using a faux-alphabet to evoke communist imagery is a political shitfit
Could you try harder please? This bait isn't provocative enough.

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much

Literally triggered by a font you associate with socialism to the point where you accused the guy of being leftypol. Don't you have some anti-antifa LARPing to do?

I dunno, but the Hoplites look pretty cool at least.

You know, saying "makes you look like an" is not an accusation that you are one right?

>triggered by a font you associate with socialism to the point where you accused the guy of being leftypol
Subtle bait with "a font" there, nice work. Try it with a /b/tard and you might get an angry response.
>you associate with socialism to the point where you accused the guy of being leftypol
Not really, I just pointed out that the use of faux-Cyrillic is also something that leftypol does, and of course it goes without saying that leftypol are idiots.

Why would you ever equip your Fire Warriors with Pulse Carbines? And why would you ever bring Fire Warriors or Breachers when you can just bring more Pathfinders?

Where are the rules for them?

A cute!

A cute!

There are none currently. They're going to be in the next Imperial armor though someone emailed FW asking about rules for them since they had rules in 7th to which the response was "we'll talk to the rules designers about getting some rules for people that own them".

tl'dr no rules atm, maybe soon, defiantly eventually.

>Why would you ever equip your Fire Warriors with Pulse Carbines?
Because they look cool, shame GW made them them a retarded option.

>And why would you ever bring Fire Warriors or Breachers when you can just bring more Pathfinders?
Because FW are troops.

It gives you a second shot threat range of 24+d6 rather than 21.

Sure, but Pathfinders are cheap enough to spam as multiple outrider detachments and commanders are valuable enough to where the HQ tax is just going to be stuff you were going to bring originally.

Remind me though because I'm still new to 8th, you can fire your markerlights and your pulse carbines in the same shooting phase, right?

I like fluffy lists, I'm no WAACfag that will flip the table when he loses.

Does anyone actually like weapons with D6 shots or D6 damage?

Couldn't you just get that with a Cadre Fireblade though for 40-something points?

>Sure, but Pathfinders are cheap enough to spam as multiple outrider detachments and commanders are valuable enough to where the HQ tax is just going to be stuff you were going to bring originally.
Most places limit you to 3 Detachments in a standard 2k game. Troops heavy Detachments grant more CP. Troops get universal ObSec with Chapter Approved and most places are already running it this way since they know it's coming soon anyways. Commanders will get nerfed in CA/Tau Codex, whichever comes first.

Basically, plan for the future, even if Pathfinders might be a better option right now.

>Remind me though because I'm still new to 8th, you can fire your markerlights and your pulse carbines in the same shooting phase, right?
Unless it says otherwise in the Markerlight rules, yeah, I'm pretty sure you can.

>D6 damage is really good. Lascannons are the best AV/ AMC weapon at the moment which feels right.

>D6 attacks is good if you can spam it , like flamers,grenades, etc. Not as good on single shot things like battlecannons or demolishers.

D6 damage is amazing, D6 shots sucks ass.

Okay, it gives you a third shot threat range of 24+d6 rather than 21.

>D6 shots
>can miss with all of them
>D6 damage
>whatever you roll is final
Gee I fucking wonder

Fair enough! I've got the Pathfinders to spare, but those are some p. decent reasons. Now to convert some more breachers...

At -1 Ballistic Skill. And outside of the 30" mark it has 0 threat range compared to the Pulse Rifles 1 shot up to 36".

I like being able to do a lot of damage with four Lascannons, but I don't like there being an extra random step to resolution and wouldn't want to try to kill something with one lascannon.

Is it worthy to start a Death Guard army? Or is it a bad codex?

Could you fucks standardize the name thread name.

Normally I type "k gen" or "0 gen", but you had to fuck it all up.

And why the fuck is forge world selling tech priests cheaper than GW?!

Yeah in general because probability if something does d6 hits or damage it's going to be very strong if you can spam multiples as you'll average out at 3.5 per weapon but obviously just relying on one is swingy.

You asked for a reason why. If you wanted a litte bit extra range for your extra shot/a bit more if you're willing to suffer-1 for it you would take the carbine. You would sacrifice elsewhere for it so its not the best choice, but it's a reason why you would take it.

i think its p good, mortal wounds out the wazoo

It's a good dex, but with the potential for both good and bad lists.
