Sisters of Silence

This is one of the reasons I quit 40k. The game reminds me of an MMO because it always felt like I was renting my army. I could get all the shiniest new toys, but there's no guarantee whatsoever that my army wouldn't be nerfed into oblivion in a year. After a couple cycles of getting into a new army because I literally could not win a game, only to have this happen again, I just gave up.

C'est la vie.

Does anyone have any pictures of the new Plague Marines in Black Legion colours? I want to try and incorporate all of the chaos beliefs together.

Yeah, once again the specter of Procrastination haunted me and I didn't get shit done hobby-wise So that was pretty spooky.

>Choose to play army specifically designed to beat one army.
>Get upset when that army isn't good at fighting anything else.

What?

GK players suck. They want all the stuff regular SM get plus cool anti-daemon tech.

This is why you collect for the hobby aspect and not tbe game aspect. I've been playing DE since 3rd, we were good exactly one time and then got fucked immediately after. I still love painting, modeling, and converting my beautiful space rapists. I also play games with my mates regularly, win some lose some, usually lose some. It's not a big deal when it's just an excuse to see my mates.

It's crons.

Sisters of Silence with third party heads

That me gusta face on the end looks prime for some lewd converting.

Oh shoot, that's pretty scary. Did you at least do something for best holiday?

starting 40k after hiatus, torn between starting harlequins or craftworlds

I got some take out and watched the San Junipero episode of Black Mirror, that's about it. Not a single trick o' treater came by either which makes me kinda sad because when I was a kid our neighborhood had plenty of people going up and down the street, now they all gather at this one subdivision.

Yeah I've got something spooky happening, deciding my future
>it's the HSC in Aus right now, I think that's like SAT for america, except if we fail we don't have colleges to buy degrees, it's uni or bust

Just drew up a quick Scions list
Tempestus Scions 1000pts:
Battalion Detachment:
Tempestor Prime: 44pts
+ Tempestus Command Rod: 0pts
+ Power sword: 4pts
+ The Laurels of Command

Lord Commissar: 59pts
+ Plasma pistol: 5pts
+ Power sword: 4pts

Tempestus Scions: 78pts
+ Plasma pistol: 5pts
+ Hot-shot lasgun x2: 2pts
+ Plasma gun x2: 26pts

Tempestus Scions: 78pts
+ Plasma pistol: 5pts
+ Hot-shot lasgun x2: 2pts
+ Plasma gun x2: 26pts

Tempestus Scions: 76pts
+ Plasma pistol: 5pts
+ Hot-shot lasgun x2: 2pts
+ Meltagun x2: 24pts

Tempestus Scions: 64pts
+ Plasma pistol: 5pts
+ Hot-shot lasgun x2: 2pts
+ Hot-shot volley gun x2: 12pts

Tempestus Scions: 64pts
+ Plasma pistol: 5pts
+ Hot-shot lasgun x2: 2pts
+ Hot-shot volley gun x2: 12pts

Air Wing Detachment:
Valkyrie: 150pts
+ Lascannon: 20pts
+ Hellstrike missiles: 20pts

Valkyrie: 150pts
+ Lascannon: 20pts
+ Hellstrike missiles: 20pts

Vulture Gunship: 160pts
+ Twin Punisher gatling cannons: 40pts
+ Heavy Bolter: 8pts

Total: 994pts

Plan is to deploy the 2 plasma gunner squads in the Valks accompanied by the Prime + Command Squad in Valk A and Melta squad in Valk B, fly them up the board and shoot down enemy targets. Meanwhile the Volley squads will hide in cover throughout the game and take out advancing enemy infantry with the Vulture. Thoughts?

Run 10 man units instead for maximum order efficiency

>They want all the stuff regular SM get plus cool anti-daemon tech.
Because that's almost word for word exactly what Grey Knights are? They just use different tactics so they naturally wouldn't use many of the normal Space Marine units like bikes/speeders/jump marines/some specialized Rhino chassis tanks. But even what we're supposed to be good at (psyker phase) is arguably worse than other psyker and even non-psyker oriented armies. Only difference is that we get a +1 to our 1 mortal wound(3 to daemons)smite spam.

I really hope you're right.

>They want all the stuff regular SM get plus cool anti-daemon tech.
So exactly what GK are like in lore then.

>Because that's almost word for word exactly what Grey Knights are?

No they're not you idiot. Word for word they have their own unique wargear from Saturn and Mars.

So combine the two Plasma squads and combine the two Volley squads? Alright.

>not a single trick o' treater
Yeah, it seems like these years numbers are dwindling and it really sucks. The few kids in the neighborhood were the only ones that came to my house, really sad to see the night becoming emptier and emptier on Halloween. Even the rich area nearby had barely anyone.

Hello friendly 40kg friends How goes your guys night?

Why would it be Crons? Since when have they ever had a unit with scales or a snake motif?

Shitposting from work so meh. I wish I was home sleeping.

Yea kinda sucks that trick or treating is falling outta style. You think its because of paranoia or just disintrest?

Not sure, probably a mixture of those sorts of things. Slightly increasing disinterest, worry about crimes happening to little kids, and things like people being sensitive about what you wear for a night probably all contribute to it.

Really depends on where you live. My parents in the suburbs get a few dozen kids a year. My grandparents in a small town get over a hundred. My apartment building averages about 0.5 kids a year.

Probably should report it if you are constantly seeing half of a kid walking around

Don't be a bigot, he's just life non-binary

You're not wrong, but... why are you here?

You've got more squads then you do things to effectively dish out orders, you mention command squads but that whole thing is nothing but regular Scion squads, slap some rocket pods onto the Valkyries it's just 2pts more you can afford it, keep the plasma pistols in the squads with the plasma guns to maximize plasma and just give bolt pistols to everyone else it's 1pt like the laspistol but you'll actually be shooting it in a game, bulk up the volley gunners to 10 men and make it 4 volley guns for maximum dakka.

So cut to:

2 Primes w. Command Rod
1 Command squad w. 4 plasma
1 Command squad w. 4 melta
1 5man Scion squad w. 2 plasmaguns +1 Plasma pistol
1 5man Scion squad w. 2 melta
1 10man Scion w. 4 volleygun
2 Valkyries w Lascannon/Rocket Pods

You still have space for the flyers and can still do what you were already thinking of but with more orders and more plasma and melta.

I got one pair of kids ringing at my door this year but I didn't have anything to give them so I just hid in the bathroom until they left

curious why you have the lord commissar

Turn you fucking porch light off then you bastard

There's a lot of parents that take their kids to those "safe" trick-or-treat events. Though that's just not the same.

Theres these things called Trunk-Or-Treats that happen around me but i dont think i would trust those very much. having worked in Retail as a bagger i have seen what kinda shit people keep in their trunk

Is a pure Primaris army in any way viable?

What are the essentials?

Webway Strike Banshees or regular deep strike Scorpions?

I'm nervous about the Scorpion's charge being unreliable, while the Banshees are basically guaranteed to make theirs.

But Scorps feel like a better target for Ambush of Blades, Jinxing enemies, Guide, etc

striking scorpions look way cooler on the table top. and 40k is rule of cool my man.

"Trunk or Treats" and similar things seem to be the majority of the reason why where I'm at. I saw a handful of kids in my neighbourhood, but head down a few blocks and there were literally hundreds of people shuffling their kids around a church parking lot to get their candy fix.

I am wracking my brain, which 40k piece did the music that appears in youtube.com/watch?v=DMCTbIH924k come from? Its in the back of my memory and I cant remember where.

I am thinking DoW but I know its not 1 or 3 and I cant really remember it appearing in 2.

one of these

Considering that GW uses music from Warhammer Online on most of their videos, its probably from that.
The one at the start I know is from Warhammer Online but the one that plays during the rest of it I'm not sure

Hmm, might have actually been the case for me too then, since my neighborhood is between a few churches and stuff. Man, I just want to see some cool costumes, hand out some candy to make some people happy, and not feel lonely on my favorite holiday

Should probably hand out start collectings for halloween. That would be a good time.

damn big money baller

Yo what are the odds the howling bitches get a kit update in a year?

Cause I would love to pimp around some stabby shees, but the girls are showing their age.

And aspect warriors in general...

I dont believe its from Warhammer Online, but from something 40k, related. Maybe Space Marine or that PSP game?

To be fair, if you decide to collect a niche army like grey knights and expect it to perform at a competitive level, you have bigger problems. They were only ever a cynical cash grab.

Reivers and gatling redemptor dreadnoughts.
Or wait a year so we get at least 15 new units option just like the stormcast did.

Might as well with how few people showed up this year round.

Start Collecting! Slannesh would have been perfect for it

I thought crons too at first but as soon as I read other people saying Fulgrim I am now 99% sure they're right.

No armies except Marines are going to get new models until GW finishes riding the Primarch hype waves. AdMech didn't, Guard didn't, Eldar didn't, Tyranids didn't, and all of those had either super old sculpts in bad need or replacement (IG/Eldar) or were sorely lacking an option that all other factions have (AdMech transports, Tyranid super-heavy). Necrons have neither of those problems, so they definitely aren't getting shit.

I've been playing for 20 years, 40k is basically me eternally rotating between 4 armies based on what i think is fun.

I know that feel from playing Talons, but in reality you play a niche army like that because you like them instead of winning, when it happens its nice, but if thats what you care about then a meta/ mainstream army is more your thing

tfw will never get a custodes HQ

Smart. I'm picking up the Primaris half of the starter set for cheap, but yeah I'll wait for the rest of the stuff

>I also play games with my mates regularly, win some lose some, usually lose some. It's not a big deal when it's just an excuse to see my mates.
You might as well be writing in a different language user. As far as 40kg is concerned, the only reason to play (Implying anytime in here does something other than theory craft and bitch) is to table your opponent on turn two and then screech in their faces about how bad their faggit army is.

I dunno, I think Custodes will get expanded in the near-ish future

I'd say the best ones would have been daemons, necrons, and then maybe toss in some of the skeleton things from AoS.
Or maybe just give out a few fully painted, converted halloween themed minis to some of the kids that come.

The recent focus in black library books suggests it, would be nice. Until then I will just be happy to get more of the custodes guard and expanding my Inqusition side of my Talons.

Would get sisters if it wasnt for their price.

Yeah, but which one would be most entertaining. The one to make someones parents lose their minds.

>The recent focus in black library books suggests it
My thoughts exactly, I don't think they've been hyping up return of the custards for nothing

I've seen some sweet conversion of Dreamforge models with female heads that looked pretty good as sisters of battle if you're into a bit thiccer sisters

I dont want to table my opponent turn 2 i just want to you know be able to get into combat without having to alpha strike all the time.

Yeah, I guess that would be pretty funny. Though the other options and ideas could be better just some cool and/or more thematic gifts. Spooky bonecrons with pumpkin heads, orks with silly ghost costumes, things like that. Maybe I should make this a mini army/killteam for myself next year

How likely is it that GW will bring the Bonesingers into the fold properly? While not a great unit, they're the only unit Il-Kaithe specialises in.

...

How do eldar handle hordes?

They seem like they would struggle with massed light infantry like gaunts - shuriken cannons appear the closest answer, but seem more efficient against medium infantry/MEQ.

I'm with you user

I want cool looking models that I worked hard to paint well in thematic battles, not trying to gimp the rules and have "the best" so you can autowin without effort

>chaos gods trembling at the psychic might of the hive mind

Just 11 more days till the codex drops and Carnac dies of a proferated rectum

hey guys,
A faced an eldar player on the weekend at a tournament (we weren't using the new codex), and he got my baneblade down to 8 wounds on turn 1 using just 2 hemlocks.

Did he cheat/ did we get something wrong with the rules?

Who's Carnac? I keep seeing this meme.

Its just newfag creating le boogeyman because they are too Young for most memes.

An incredibly autistic chaos shitposter who hates tyranids because the idea that his faction might not be the strongest/bestest bad guy faction ever in a fictional universe sends him into critical shitposting overdrive mode. If the new tyranid codex has a ton of fluff of nid kicking chaos ass, he'll probably explode.

Pretty much figured out how I'm going to set up the rest of my all dreadnought list but I'm stuck on two

A contemptor, and a siege dreadnought and how to load them up

The contemptor I'm going gun/melee set up, probably a chainfist but I'm not sure about the ranged weapons, maybe a plasma blastgun in the fist because of the cool factor but I'm not sure

As for the siege dreadnought definetely going with the seismic hammer for that sweet 5 damage but I'm split between the inferno cannon for roasting some infantry or a multi melta for full anti tank
On the same note, whats your favorite dreadnought Veeky Forums?

It's on the high side of expected wounds but they can do it.

>On the same note, whats your favorite dreadnought Veeky Forums?

At the risk of being crucified, I actually really like the Redemptor.

For Primaris it's legitimately a pretty good sculpt.

Redemptor and Intercessors are both excellent, and Aggressors pretty okay. The rest of the new chadmarine stuff, outside of the single characters, is trash.

God I hate 40k writing some times. Next it's the Orks that make the gods tremble and Tyranids to piss themselves. Then it's the Necrons that make the gods tremble, Tyranids to piss themselves and Orks run in fear. Then it's the Eldar that make the gods tremble, Tyranids to piss themselves, Orks run in fear and Necrons hide in their tombs. etc...

Chaosfag shitposter who, among many other things, refuses to accept that Tyranids Are anywhere close to the chaos gods in significance or threat. Which is why anytime it’s mentioned that Tyranids are a serious threat, or they beat chaos, he spergs out tremendously. Pic related gets his ass more fractured than Biel-Tan

Not too keen on command squad spam, although I'll take the advice on the volleyguns and rocket pods.
Cheap HQ to fill up Battalion.

>an article unrelated to fluff trying to sell nids hypes up nids

TERRIBLE WRITING JUST AWFUL

>because the idea that his faction might not be the strongest/bestest bad guy faction ever in a fictional universe sends him into critical shitposting overdrive mode.
That's Veeky Forums in a nutshell though. We almost have threads about it on a daily bases

The new Kronos hive fleet is specifically tailored to combating Chaos and the warp so it should have some good victories over Chaos

So some of biel tan are with ynnari now or do they call hate them?

That is the only level play any internet based discussion of 40k revolves around and I have no idea why.

>That's Veeky Forums in a nutshell though. We almost have threads about it on a daily bases
That's because half of those threads are fucking carnac.

Kids would rather watch trick-or-treaters on their smartphone and comment how “lit” it was.

>in a few years we'll have Kids react to Trick Or Treating videos
