Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

And you can go kill yourself after posting shit.

I kinda want to get this mentality out that having just Summoners is "OP". It's not. They're Chaos's TEQ. It's fair if they can have one if you bring some termies or a land raider. If they bring multiple Dedicated Transports, then yes that is pretty cheesy.
Also Movement is shit. It’s just expendable inches. Having a whole army oriented around it would be incredibly boring. If Chaos was able to move the same speed as Eldar then that would be fine.
A "fun" army to play against is something that tries to bring all the neat units into the battle in a combined arms fashion. Not just spamming any one single unit. A good Chaos player would know that a detachment of Characters and Transports is a cheaper and arguably better source of anti vehicle firepower than the other units.
I'm so tired of hearing non-Chaos players complain about "muh Disembarking or muh Summoning" They're there in the codex, they have a purpose, just like the FWs.source then any of the titans. Just because you get butthurt at the cheesemongers doesn't mean that the other Chaos players have to stop using a particular ability. Quit bitching.

yup

The best armies can actually control a planet, instead of just threatening the guys in the 'captial' obstinately in charge!

Look at this newfag

Do the Adeptus Custodes clean anything, you know, being the Custodians after all?

They clean the tear in the webway.

Sooo I was thinking about starting a SM army. Colors like pic related with maybe a splash of white on a kneepad or shoulder pad. Gonna go for a bear theme (Pelts and Thunder Claws mostly.Maybe armored bears for bikes if I can find cheap enough models. Trying not to go full retard like SWs). Focus on lots of infantry, termies, droppods, and dreads with a rip and tear theme. Probably go BT successors to help with that.

Thoughts? I just moved into a new state and thought starting a new army would be a good way to introduce myself to the flgs. Not sure if BT SM is strong or not but it sounds fun.

Reposting for C&C, have a no LoW, no FW event this weekend.

Can't use girlyman so am trying to compensate

Which primarch was more autistic: Guilliman or Perturabo?

Haven't they always hated each other? Not just the rival gods thing, the fact that before the Heresy it was the ultimate fedora vs the ultimate wizard

I'm totally new to the game and I'm considering splitting the Dark Imperium set with a friend. In the end I'd be stuck with the Primaris Marines, and I was curious if I'd be able to convert them into Alpha Legion, and if so what length of kitbashing would I have to go through to do so (i.e. to field them as a CSM force with the Legion bonuses).

Can I get some feedback on this list? Its probably crap but a silly concept I would like to run on a pick up game sometime soon.

2000pts

+ Cadian Spearhead +

Command Punisher [3x Heavy Bolters, Laurels of Command] Warlord [Master of Command]
Command Exterminator [3x Heavy Bolters]

Now I was thinking of running those dreads or 3 Rhinos filled with 2 HQs and Crusaders but I love Dreadnoughts, should I drop the second commander and get a Manticore?.

Of those two? Dorn.

Any advice on how to properly do renegades?

Malefic lords and murders are your friends is all I got.

>new tyranids codex

What do you want to see in it?

Gameplay wise, the valkyrie+12 malefic lords offers a lot of potential, especially with the summoning rules.

Curze.

Wouldn't they all get shot before they coud summon?

>"Written by Robin Cruddace"

look at him hes adorable

You'll be fine, Russes can shoot twice now if they go half speed or less.

No, you summon the turn they disembark.

Malice dosnt really have a theme like Khorne or Nurgle if thats what you're asking. Since Malice isnt canon anymore it's kinda hard to make a theme for him and it's not like he had much going for him in the first place. Just make it look generally chaosy with lots of black and white paint I guess.

Sons of Malice are sitll canon aren't they?

Malal isn't canon, but Malice definitely is. The Sons of Malice even had a recent short story where they summoned an avatar of his at the end (or it was implied).

How should I do my hitlerjungen visors?
Jew Ash with a spash of Auschwitz White?

I know grey tide is universally reviled, but what are your opinions on WIP armies Veeky Forums? Say the same army comes in each week at your FLGS, and each time the amount of unpainted models lessens, with a new squad or vehicle being done.
What if that player consistently has 2/3 their stuff painted on the board at a minimum?

Would this midigate the annoyance of fighting unpainted dudes?

I am guilty of this, but try to get new stuff painted for a game each week, and keep a rule of 1/3 army max is unpainted.

>Pic related, a game back from 7th and my last at that store, 9/10 armies there looked like the one across the board from me and were all truly WAAC. I won this game though

I have an ajtistic neice that I got into 40k much to my sister's chagrin and I have a soft spot for Dorn for exactly this reason. Imagining him playing with model fortresses and seige equipment reminds me of her. Love that kid.

Primaris are at a different scale. Better off buying a bunch of used on eBay and dipping them in isopropyl 90%+ for a half hour, scrubbing off the paint, then repainting, mom frere.

What's up with the center left Ghostkeel? Did it snap its feet off at some point?

Isn't Malal and Malice the same entity? I haven't seen anything for either in a few years. You got a source for the Malice story?

>suits unpainted
I feel like I should be angry.

dats nice

They're the same thing, they had to change the name cause they didn't hold the copyright. The story was in the big fat Space Marines anthology, "The Labyrinth."

dat low model count

Magnus double-crossed Morty by having the yiffs Exterminatus his due planet before he could take it, so I'd imagine the latter is pretty salty.

"dynamic" pose

I'm actually working on Night Lords of Malice. My themes are mostly night lord themes, though.

Malice is the "totally not copyright infringing" malal. Same idea and backstory different name.

As long as you're making progress, idc.

...

DAEMON FULGRIM FUCKING WHEN?!

So, you mean there's no way to make it work in the rules?

Hmm thanks I'll give it a read
So I went and looked at the wiki article for Malice cuz I'm fairly bored. A lot of the concept art for Malice deamons have a very skull/bone theme goin on. So bones on everything! If you want to get fancy have some of the cultist have skeletor heads

Never, GW are Squatting Slaanesh and Dark Eldar to replace them with Squats and Sisters of Battle. The new CWE codex will hint at them finding the last Crone sword and the edition will end with a new ynnari book where Fulgim and Slaanesh get fucking dunked on.

Source: I went to a GW this one time.

>inb4 Be'lakor is revealed to be Malice and his hatred for the dark gods is fueling his anti-Chaos tendencies

I swear I would track down carnac and kill him just on principal.

>Malice/Belakor turned Curze into a headless demon prince

What happened to Carnac anyway?

By then his power will be maximum and he will have transcended this gay Earth.

>the one on the right
>maximum kek

Will carnac become Belakor?

I'm already home, you fucking mong.

What's you opinion on the Maurauders with Sniper Rifles? They're the only way for chaos to get sniper rifles afaik, and they're useful for taking out pesky commissars so I can make use of my morale debuffs

Wait, what if Be'lakor is the 40k version of Carnac?

Anyone know where I can get the .pdf for The World Engine? Been searching google the past hour and found nothing but those useless scam sites.

Why on earth would Veeky Forums be hanging out with /lgbt/?

Is it in the OP?

because /lgbt/ has almost as many fags as Veeky Forums

Because /lgbt/ spawned Carnac. Apparently he was kicked out/banned after a "Trap War".

Because tg stands for totally gay

...

Basically this

>Trap War

Who the fuck would post traps on

the fuck is a trap war?

How much for a Chad Chariot?

It's Numale infiltration, don't worry about it.

Holy fuck it is. I must have missed it by only looking at what the folders are.

Thanks, user! These megas are better and more extensive than I thought.

wtf I never want to leave tg now

Your guess is as good as mine.

No problem.

>Chad Chariot
I shouldn't be laughing at this

>Trap War is a thing.
I love it when meme become serious shit.

>so retarded he has to go back to a previous thread just to swallow obvious bait.

>No transport capacity
>Fucking tumor growths on each ballsack

More like virgin.. Faggot mobile.

Why does it have what appears to be sideways treads?

They're hover plates.

Live on the edge or die trying!

But yeah 10 models is super low.

They're it's anti-grav plates. The Chadmarines are too good to use mere "treads".

Most would work as alpha legion with just a different paintjob. Probably best as chosen since they're a little bigger.

The inceptors don't really have a Chaos equivalent though, you could maybe use them as a base for more outlandish conversions like saynsome obliterators. But you might be better trying to trade or sell them.

Different Armies say different things:
>Completely Unpainted Tau (7E) Guard (8E)
I do not give a shit about this army and will drop it the moment something better comes out.
>Completely Painted Tau (7E) Guard (8E) Army
I care a lot about this army and I probably owned it long before the faction became...this...
Everything else can be extrapolated on that scale. Note that a lack of GOOD paint may be a product of the former attitude, but it could also just mean he or she sucks at painting but is really trying.

If I were you, I wouldn't field unpainted units past 1000 points, since that's the minimum points standard for many stores. Once your first 1000 points are done just paint each unit before feilding. Advance by increments of 100-200 depending on army size.

I never field an unpainted unit. Because I have a bit of unwarrented personal pride invested in my army. As a result it is small and I am unable to respond to mass-meta shifts.

Honestly, that its mostly the same but with some points costs tweaks.

I would like to see pyrovores go up to a max squad size of 6, would make sticking them in a spore worth it.

What's the verdict on the Guard codex? Good? OP?
Has anyone found the leafblower equivalent? What builds aren't powerful?

Pls no bully the last two weeks my life has been in stasis so I just don't know these things

Is it possible to remove the paint from a plastic model without fucking it up?

I'm still new to this and I'm really unhappy with my current paint jobs, colors included.
