Playing guard makes you literally Hitler, but fully overpowered and all viable units and rules Eldars are totally fine edition.

Are conscripts kill?

Xth for fuck delusional Guardfags

what even is that sentence

No. But they're no longer a no-brainer.

Ogyrn Bodyguard w/ 2+ invul
Yarrick
Priest
Chimera
Any good?

No they are still the best bubblewrap unit to cover your stuff from smites and deep striking lists and can still be made to work as a good unit with valhallan detachments or lord commissars

Internet slang

Play eldar if you want an easy, no punishment, no brainer army.

Eight for Female Space Marines.

>tfw no new dawn of war ever now
just gonna listen to the dow2 commisar to zeal me right up

so if I want to play an undead army in this game I have to play necrons right?

What chapter tactics can Blood Ravens use?

>but fully overpowered and all viable units and rules Eldars are totally fine edition.
If Eldar are out of line they'll get wacked by a FAQ.

Who cares? You play guard.

Fuck off newfag

They use the closest tactics to whatever your opponent is using.

Necrons = Skellies
Death Guard = Zombies
Blood Angels = Vampires

>2+ inv
How does he do that

Probably just Ultramarines because they're Codex-lovers
But I thought it'd be funny taking the Salamander trait just because of their high occurrence of master-crafted 'gifts'

Olly's mask for 4++
Slabshield to add 2 to that
It's a no-brainer

>what is Death Guard

>Yarrick
>not a Catachan company with 'Commissar Doomstar' keeping 90 conscripts in line with DD as two platoon commanders meekly follow him around
>not using Kurov's aquila to fuel your screaming lust for orders so you can use Inspired Tactics and (try to) order all 3 conscript blobs every turn
>not steamrolling your opponent with almost 100 S4 models

Current Fabricator-General is THICC

>Implying
LoL, nice one user, they're literally untouchable and immune to the nerf bat

You steal the tactic your opponent uses no matter their faction.

That would give him a 6++ you retard.

Did GW actually make a post about them?
iirc they said use a command detachment full of Libbies and IF tactics

My ortism always raged that he had a laspistol instead of a bolt
Even the Guardsman-squad Commissars had bolt pistols

>t. hasn't played any games of 8th at all
Quit shitposting here if you don't even know basic rules.

Did the writers forget the Imperium has Holograms or something?

More like Current Fab-Gen is a retard

>add 2 to save rolls
>somehow thinks it makes a 4++ 6++
>calls other retards
Oh the pottery on this one

4+2=6 user, it's not that hard.

Are astropaths overpowered?
They can strip cover, cast a power and deny a power for only 15 points.

how do I start a harlequin army?

Using a hologram would be beneath a high lord if someone is worthy of your time you will show up in person or they are not worthy.

Supposedly, at least for 2018-2019, GW's "diversity push" is going to be:

1.) More Sisters of Silence mini's (both by GW and FW)
2.) Plastic Sisters & accompanying minis including a new female Inquisitor and female ecclesiarchy priest mini's
3.) Female mini's of Imperial Guard officers
4.) More female characters in books. Recent example was Watchers of the Throne where 5 out of 12 High Lords are women
5.) Showing mini's for all factions painted black in official catalog/site pics

Sometimes he needs to be present for very exceptional ocassions

What I want more than anything is a Shadow of Mordor/War set in 40k where you play a up and coming Warboss on an Ork planet starting up your own Waaagh. Hell, call it Gorkamorka or something.

>5.) Showing mini's for all factions painted black in official catalog/site pics
Now when you say all factions...

(You)

Oh I see, you've literally never played 40k at all.
Everyone knows that adding to a roll over stat makes it easier to achieve, or are you seriously so retarded you think Rubrics have only a 4+ save against bolters and lasguns?

Just get out, educate yourself and come back when you aren't frothing at the mouth with pure autism.

"Supposedly" from who?

>5.) Showing mini's for all factions painted black in official catalog/site pics
So Black Tyranids?

buy models for it?

With exception to the last point, unless you mean some and not all, then nothing there seems bad.

from warhammer community

3 first points are more than OK
4 is debatable
5, meh, models sculpted with caucasian faces painted in black look silly

>More female characters in books. Recent example was Watchers of the Throne where 5 out of 12 High Lords are women
There have always been VIP women in the lore

>source: my ass
Here's your (You)

You've heard of Black Orcs right?

4+2=6 user. Game rules can't change basic English, you Lebonese fucktard.

Well glad THAT'S not binding

At 1d6. So no.

Why are SWS and vets elite?
Why does 3 HWTs take an entire heavy slot?
Conscript nerf was necessary but we’re kinda starved for troop choices now.

...

>Fine
>Fine
>Fine
>ADB will be at the vanguard of the SJW brigade. He loves waifus for his Donut Steels
>Black Nids. Black Tau. Black Necrons. Celestial Lions All 6 of them and Salamanders?
SJW types really can't use their imagination where the Universe is so vast that all their special snowflake shit already exists

I have not heard of them nor black tau or nids.

So it is just bait at this point.

So basically
>Lol, I don't care about the lore, I've only played Dawn of War and think Video Game Crunch=Fluff

Jesus Christ your supidity is unbelievable.
if you add 2 to a dice result, then you can pass with a 2, since 2+2=4.

That's only smite they can cast other powers just fine.

Here's a last (You), don't spend it all in one place

But it doesn't say "add 2 to the dice result". It says "add 2 to your save". Learn to read English you wetback border hopper.

>why does 3 HWT teams take an entire heavy slot
for super cheap brigades, of course.

the math works out to about 650 points for a bare bones brigade for 9 CP

A heavy cost. I pay it gladly.

Thousand Sons

they only cast smite on 1d6, other powers are still on 2d6.

Plebian.

For example, this a legal 2000 points Guard Army
30 CP

GW have

>add 2 to save ROLLS
FTFY

"Add 2 to the save rolls" - literally right out of the book you incompetent fuck

Wat

So now that Earthshaker are the best thing in the game with the buff, how many is too many ?
Are 6 in a 2k game OK ?

How have they not been sued yet?

Save is your dice roll to not die

No.

They're flee.

you can get it cheaper with 45 points scout sentinels with multi-lasers.

Russia

Show me where it says that, sahara-monkey.

No, the Save is the 4+ according to the book.

While I doubt these I can't really see anything wrong with that. I mean, we've had black SOB in the art for well over a decade. Seeing it actually painted on a model wold be nice.

Honestly, #4 is nice purely for 'It will force more non-marine characters' as we are kinda overloaded on marines.

You could kinda do admech cyberzombies.

I know that, I initially had it as Scout Sentinels and HWTs instead of Tarantulas. But I wanted as many models as possible.

Take 3 for free infantry squad as the crew.
Fill the rest of your heavy support slot with mortars.

Drop AT and AI with no LoS anywhere you like.

page 102-103 of Codex: Astra Militarum

Honestly, I'd be weirded out if the ultimate adaptive race couldn't be black.

Well, yeah. Why should you care about the lore?

Lore has no bearing on rules

all these seem fine. presuming 5 really means all human factions.

Because fuck your ignorant ass.

>/40kg/ takes the obvious bait even after it descends into bald-faced shitposting
For fuck's sake will you fucking faggots just hide and ignore already.

DIVERSITY!

I'm more questioning the point.

Under the Bullgryn™ or Ogryn Bodyguard™ sections, pages 102 and 103 of the Games Workshop™ Codex™: Astra Militarum™ for Warhammer 40000™ the game of miniature battles in the Grim Darkness of the Dark Future™

Unlike you, pleb, I have my Codexes in book form, so I can't just pull up that page. The burden of proof is on you, show a screenshot.

fair enough, but if you're looking for more bodies you should drop the commissars for either command squads (bare) or special weapon squad (snipers)

Is this an ok Counts As for a Priest model?

Only if you green stuff him a manly beard.

EAT
SHIT.

to hide better? maybe absortion from the sun is desired? Maybe it's just a side effect of something else?
