Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

Yep. Pic related. Makes you wonder about those Canonesses with the torches on their backs.

Ah, it's good to see my shitty genestealer cultist again, before one of those artists got a hold of it.

Everything can. . Even Manticores/Earthshakers/Mortar Teams and Leman Russ.

How bad will the imbalance get?

Eldar are already confirmed top-tier again

If Tyranids shit themselves in their codex we're basically setting up for 7th 2.0

No.

They explicitly cannot.

Page 84
>Units with the MILITARUM TEMPESTUS keyword treat this as their keyword in all respects, but the MILITARUM TEMPESTUS keyword cannot be used to replace the keyword on any other datasheet.

There is no codex creep yet.
Guard is low tier and same with GK and Chaos

So don't take them, user.

Quit spouting this meme.

So the members of the Scarab Occult were all capable psykers according to A Thousand Sons along with everything else I've read. Yet they got turned into dust like their non-psyker brethren. Why is that?

>an imperium of a million planets
>somewhere they might possibly be fighting some sort of battle with conscripts and baneblades

Sure why the fuck not. You can put them on hover motorcycles as well with needle guns

I got some cheap bins with snap-locks that I think are for transporting cupcakes or something, and I got some free padding from the waffle cone boxes at work.

>Guard is low tier
what

Because it was completely random, as every Thousand Son was a capable Psyker.

because making a 10 man unit that can cast powers individually would've just been fucking annoying as shit.

Imagine being this retarded.

I just pile them into a cardboard box

Conscripts don’t have that special rule so they can still become tempestus, this needs an FAQ.

What the fuck is coming next, why are there no rumors?

>Eldar are already confirmed top-tier again
Kek

Forty fucking keks

I've heard people run Ironclad Dreads in pairs or not at all. Any truth to that? Are Ironclads just not worth it either way?

Looking over the codexes that have been released thus far what are your thoughts and hopes for new changes, relics and strategems for your faction of choice?

I'm going to keep playing AdMech and continue to not give a shit.

in a tournament with the WAACyest of WAACfags they failed to score the top spots, they are dickish in causal games and meme tier otherwise

>I'm going to continue to play the Rank S+ Top 1 army

Yeah no shit

Everything I've read about the Rubric states that all non-psykers were turned to Rubrics and all psykers were empowered by it. I've seen nothing to indicate that it was at all random.

Chaos Marine, Space Marines, Guard and now Eldar are top tier? 4 out of 6 ain't bad.

I just want my Vows back god damn it!

>Rank S+ Top 1 army

It's not a special rule, it's describing how the Regiment tag works, for all units

Id say minimum 2d3 shots, -3ap, str 10 and 3dmg.
> OR LOWER THE COST

Every single Thousand Son was a psyker, user.

Easy for you to say with your good army

Guard players are unfun slabs of shit in casual games, making everyone think their army is OP when really, against a truely competitive list their codex is trash.

Low tier at BEST

More powers for 1ksons. That and a sorcerer Dreadnought would be nice. They had them during the HH and Blood Angels have them now so it wouldn't be a stretch.

wait, so you can fire through your own units but the enemy cannot shoot your dude unless they can directly see them?

Plano tackle boxes with felt glued inside them for padding

My FLGS is helping me out consigning my 15+ years heroclix collection for 40k. I really like Skitarii lore and appearance wise, are they fun to play/even mildly competitive? I have a little experience assembling/painting and they don't look too bad so I'm not worried about that, I'm not just not into the scene yet and don't plan to grognard, but I don't want to pick up an army that will lose 99% of match ups

Models WITHIN a unit dont count as blocking line of sight, but you still need to be able to see to shoot at something, get it?

IE a guardsman can shoot through another guardsman of the same squad, but a vindicare standing behind a land raider cant magically see through it

D3 shots, an extra d3 shots for every 5 models and/or model with the monster or vehicle keyword.

That is entirely untrue. They had many many more psykers than the other legions, but a great many were not.

Before the codex hit. How are you this fucking dense? Also you don't need to win tournaments to be a WAAC faction. Look at Tau in 7th. Pure Tau at the close of 7th was trash, even with Riptide Wing. So why did everyone hate them? Their codex was just high-op out the game with great internal balancing. Generally speaking no build that wasn't obviously retarded was weak, some were just better than others. That's what it means to be WAAC. That's what Guard are.

These too prease

Fuck me this thread is full of idiots.

You can't replace with militarum tempestus, it's called our explicitly in the codex.

AdMech are the top tier army right now if you do the Stygies Dragoon Spam + Dakka Kastelans with a million sniper rangers because fuck you.

AdMech is perfectly viable, though they have a fairly low variety of units and builds. Also they're fairly easy to build and paint, just paint the body before putting their arms on and paint their legs and the insides of their coats before putting them on a base.

>WaaC means having lots of viable builds.

Wow, really reaching now, aren't you. What a colossal faggot.

Its a dice game you can have a great army and still roll trash.
> some days you roll straight 1's for ss/th terminators

yeah, clix was the same way so I'm used to that

Thanks for the input!

Kaiser Rushforth multi cases.

Asking again

Not in fluff.

They could field them like SAWs, but no, 90% of them were not.

That's still a lot of fucking psykers.

The books are shitty anyway.

>falling for the meme
Got ‘em.

>immediate strawman
I didn't say that. I said they were high-op without effort. That building a viable Guard list in 8th is so easy you would have to be braindead to not come up with something that will fare decently in a casual or semi-competitive meta. That's why WAACs latch onto the faction, because they are hacks who cannot think for themselves and need a crutch codex to excel.

That's what Tau were in 7th and that's what Guard are now, like it or not.

LION WHEN

I NEED LEAKS

DEATH GUARD WAS SO FUCKING BORING I NEED FRESH NEWS

>pretending to be retarded

They are pretty good as far as balance goes and their start collecting box is A+ as the units are very good staples to almost any admech army (that onager is arguably the best anti-vehicle in the game). You from Winnipeg by chance?

Nice goalpost shift - that is absolutely not what you said.

Then how come I can summon Commissar Yarrick as an HQ for my MT within 1" after disembarking from my FW doors?

I'd be lyin if I said I knew anything.

All codexes get the WAAC min-max treatment. It's how the meta forms. Look at what happened to the end of 7th. Nothing but garbage copycats.

>FW Nazi
Found the problem.

>I'm not really too stupid to read the rules, I was just trolling.

Fuck you, I'm not gonna take your shitty puns lion down.

...

Well you sir can suck my Johnson.

How important is having a psyker for space marines? Jump pack and Librarius doesnt seem too great when i could just spend a bit more for another rifle dreadnought

Nice mental gymnastics

I have no idea whats being argued above but maybe you can help me with something

I'm running a scions heavy army and was wondering something about allying in something like a knight for an auxillary detachment.
If I were to take for example a knight in a super heavy auxillary detachment, would I be able to use some of the knight related strategems on it like the rotate ion shields on or not since it wouldn't be in my primary detachment.

florida, literally the opposite of winnipeg

Is this getting your Rock off? That's pretty Gay.

No.

>these puns
Oh how we have Fallen.

How did you know? Are you a watcher in the dark?

So you've switched to an even dumber argument - because the codex has decent internal balance it attracts WaaC players and is therefore a WaaC faction.

WaaC players will jump on anything where there's a strong build available even if it's a mono build codex, your argument is shit.

This shit is indeCypherable to me.

Return of Fusion Blades
Breachers that fire pulse blasters in melee
Fireblades that work with breachers.
Pulse blast weapons at the suit-size.
Railgun mortal wounds boosted by markerlights.

Yes. There is no such thing as a "primary detachment". If you have 3 different detachments from 3 different armies each detachment would be able to use it's specific stratagems.

Are you retarded?

>Fireblades that work with breachers.

Why, so you can ask if they get to shoot four times a turn some more?

WAACs jump on anything that is strong, yes. Guard are strong. QED.

thank you

Ah! That makes way more sense, thanks

So apparently you really are retarded.

lol, there was a guy around here with the same idea as you so it had me wondering

This is incorrect. You only gain access to the Knight Stratagems if you have an Adeptus Mechanicus detachment in your army - and Knights are Questor Mechanicus (Questor Imperialis Knights, that is, Knights from Index Imperium 2/FW Index can't benefit from the stratagems at all) so a superheavy detachment of Knights won't cut it.

tl;dr if you play Mechanicus or take them as allies then yes but otherwise no.

Theyre really capitalizing on the 8th edition hype with new and interesting releases like

>Deathguard that we knew about 7 months ago
>Necromundawho gives a fuck about specialist games anymore, itll come out and be forgotten about in 2 months

>who gives a fuck about specialist games anymore, itll come out and be forgotten about in 2 months

Fucking this. Fuck all those dumb hipster oldfag grognard faglords. Remember all that SW:A noise? Yeah, where the fuck is it now.

How do we address the illiteracy of 40k players?

>>Necromunda who gives a fuck about specialist games anymore, itll come out and be forgotten about in 2 months
i mean tons of people are hyped to get their ganger waifus. Even though they looks like the worst bastard child of Modern day 40k and Punk rockers Ever.

>Necromunda
I'll play the shit out of it if it gets the level of support the old Necromunda did, as well as Spyrer models.

Also the only thing they need to do to ensure the game flourishes is rerelease Arbites. They're a meme faction so fags will buy them up like hotcakes and until they get 40k rules they will have nothing to do with them BUT Necromunda.

So that I can atomize space marines and guardsman with my alien shotguns.
