Why no tittle?

First for the Eldar!

...

Someone posted this in front of the Imperial Palace today

what do?

Why is GW so cheap with the codexes? Units don't even have individual pictures and descriptions anymore?

Nah, that one doesn't have a proper subject.

Question :

I'm not a good player, so bear with me.

Is it recommended to have always and in every list 2x cheap troops to build a conga line so the enemy can't deepstrike?

I got fucked in my last game because of alpha/deepstrike.

Or in general, what does a good list look like?

Ignore the faggots who can't think about anything but other guys ducks and conspiacies. Fuck you doubleniggers, the Emperor isn't stuck on his throne for you to be faggots who can't think of anything but huge black dicks. Fuck you /pol/.

What army do you play ?

Getting this triggered over 40k memes.

Hallo! I'm looking for canon Space Marine chapters that use a specific design as their emblem-- namely, the cross in pic related.

I found the following ones on the wikia:

>Fire Angels
>Iron Knights
>Avenging Sons
>Crimson Scions
>Dark Crusaders

but unfortunately the M-Z page is incomplete, so I don't know if I've missed any.

Also, I would prefer one with a ring around the cross if that's possible, but no big deal if it's not.

I don't get how these FAQs keep reverting to 1.1.
Some of them are 1.2, making 1.2 the most current version. I update it every time I make a general, but somehow some squigfag reverts it the next thread.

If you're not a good player, chances are you would have gotten fucked anyway, just through another hole in your play. If your army has cheap troops, you generally want some, yes.

I legit wasn't /pol/ I found it a funny meme based on current events

sry

No, fuck the stormniggers. They are cancer of the highest order. I'm sure there's a chaosgod of cancer, and it's not Nurgle, but some kind of orangeskinned, potatoshaped hitler. Fuck these assholes for tainting plastic soldiers with their selfinsertious, egoistic shit.

Imperial Guard and Tyranids

Chaos Index is actually on 1.3.

I play tank-heavy IG and Nidzilla, my last game was my TankGuard against some Eldar player who had literally only AT weapons, he had first turn and deepstruck 10 Wraithguards beside my tanks. Fire Dragons did the rest.

I know about target priority, but I think my worst mistake was my deployment there and not knowing he'd exclusively bring AT.

White Templars and Steel Confessors

cant think of any others off the top of my head

Don't use 40k wiki. Lexicanum is far better

>play a right wing game
>get triggered when right wing people bring their memes

Don't be intolerant

I need high volume of firepower in my Space Marine army but I dont know what to bring. The Daemon player that I play often with just destroys me with his 10 command points, numerous Nurglings, Daemon Princes and other shittery. What do I do

r8 my custom chapter, theyre primaris Exorcist successors called the Catechists. They have close ties to the inquisition like the Exorcists, and their main purpose is to cleanse civilians of Chaos' taint after fights with demons.

Thanks!

I didn't turn up the Lexicanum's visual list the first time round-- and they don't tend to show the insignia separately which is going to make this tricky. But thanks for pointing it out, will look.

Let the Inquisitor do his work. I seriously doubt you can assist him.

>40k is an idealised version of Hitler did nothing wrong
How does it feel to be a retard?

Daily reminder that all loyal servants of the emperor must get Veeky Forums in his name.

obvious bait but you actually should look look up the writers and developers, some of them are literal card carrying socialists

I thought all the stories about fat ass neckbeards getting triggered over shit were just funny stories. Holy shit you're hilarious.

No, 40k is far worse. You're not at war over oil, land, or vagina. You're at war because it either fight or die. The galaxy of 40k doesn't give a fuck about human rights because taking the time to talk about it means people die or worse.

wtf is this real?

With utmost grease

Blood Angels dont need a buff. They are Space Marines so they are strong as is.

Unless your bringing scout sentinels, a sizable screen of infantry, or Salamanders you were pretty much fucked from the start. Tankguard and Nidzilla both are notable for their susceptibility to deep strikes (lack of board control) and AT (lack of bodies).

Pic related is my list. It's not competitive, but it is balanced between infantry and armor, so I rarely have the deepstrike issue. I might need to bring more ratlings, though, if the 24" Obliterators start overtaking my local meta.

Speaking of meta, local game flavors that can be very important to your listbuilding strategies. In my case, we're talking a store where people generally bring one centerpiece model in their army. It might be a shadowsword or an imperial knight or a Flyer or even a character, but there is always a centerpiece. That's why my army does not have a centerpiece and indeed uses a cheap old grudges platoon commander of all things: I deploy 5 tanks, all homogeneous, and one or worst case two get nuked by a centerpiece. Then I outflank my platoon commander behind the remaining friendly tanks and blow that thing to shreds with a rerolling number of shots, rerolling to hit, rerolling to wound tank platoon. Even shadowswords with psyker support tend to melt under that kind of firepower. The Assault veterans follow the commander just so I have something to distract any melee units coming towards the remaining vehicles.

So, uh, Yea. Meta context and balancing lists are important.

Tyranids need a serious buff, this codex doesn't bring it

Sanguinior and Ka'Bandha duel models when? I want some Duel of the Primarchs Russ vs Magnus shit.

For a Ynnari list, how much better are Kabalites than Guardian Defenders? Should I put them in venoms?

When will Necrons be good again?

Really?

Makes sense. If I were famous, or at least internet famous I would do the same thing. You have to cover your bases or you'll be the next one they come for.

>literal card carrying socialists
Are they so rare in whatever place you're in that you're surprised one's appeared? I know a good few even though I avoid politics when not anonymous , although I doubt they have literal cards.

Do we have any idea what the next couple coerces are gonna be? How likely are Necrons or Thousand Sons to show up within the next year?

"Whitecishet"? How do I pronounce that?

White-cis-het? Whitec-is-het? White-ci-shet? Whit-eci-shet?

Fuck this language, Yo voy Espanol!

At the speed they are going? 100%

With few exceptions, the U.S. doesn't really have socialists. The DSA has basically no membership, and people who profess to be socialist are usually about as serious as college dropout potheads are about libertarianism. So, yeah, that will surprise people in burgerland.

Whitec-Shet sounds like a great name for a cron

Not hard. You got it on the first try.

How exactly do chaplains guide Death Company units? Do their Litanies just break through the madness or something?

/pol/ is that way faggot

White, cis, het. It's a list of three things, shortened into a word portmanteau style.

It's not a real word, so technically there's no right or wrong way to pronounce it.

yeah, it will take you literal seconds to go check

I have my little pink card, just saying

Reposting my list here to see if I can get any suggestions on what to fix, or if its fun enough to set it stone. I'll be ordering the junk this weekend. Should I try and see if I can get a hammer on the purifier justicars?

GK Vanguard

Brotherhood Ancient - Falchion, Purge Soul

Oh yeah, forgot the political spectrum over there starts at centre-right and runs through to "179 degrees". Always found it strange when I hear "possible socialist sympathies" said like "possible child murderer". Whatever, off topic.

Xth for three carnifex putting out 72 strength 6 shots at BS3+ for only 300 points

Back to /pol/, asshole

given the people he's written for I'm pretty certain it's not "just covering bases". That said he's positively right wing compared to Dan Abnett

Got a box of assorted old ork stuff at a swap meet. This handsome fella was in it--anyone happen to know what he is?

>He only has 3 carnifexes

Wtf is a Whitecishet ?

gorkamorka gunner

>White
self Explanatory
>Cis
Means one is not Transgender I believe
>Het
Means the person is a Heterosexual

Necromunda pre-orders are open this upcoming Saturday. Who's excited?

it means normal

Is the Tyranids codex bad?

no

Yaaaay !

Post YFW the New Blood Angels Codex is Awful and we still have to rely on the Space Marine Codex to be good.

It's okay, we like it that way.

(X+1)th for six carnifex putting out 144 strength 6 shots at BS3+ for only 600 points

Having a game against Eldar tomorrow.
its gonna be around 2k points, friendly match.
I field basically every new unit in the codex save for the plaguebuster and poxwalkers(dont like em) and 3x helbrutes.
What am i in for?
Any hints and tips?

...

Every time I think Gav Thorpe has hit a new low, something comes out to surprise me.

Sons of sanguinus out !

Can you help me make a list regarding the new Tyranids codex?

I have:

-Swarmy or Flyrant (magnetized)
-Malanthrope
-2x3 Rippers
-30 Termagants
-3 Hive Guards
-Exocrine
-Trygon Prime
-2 Carnifexes

I aldo have 10 Gargoyles and 9 Warriors

I'm unsure which Hive Fleet to play and what kind if Hive Tyrant, Carnifex..

So why did everyone lost it, when they found out Gav Thorpe is just your average guy?

Jeeeeeesus christ

Quit being cucks and r8

Yes, they didn't get much better.

Primaris/10

0/10

>utting out 144 strength 6 shots at BS3+ for only 600 points

Why does everyone and their mother own malanthropes? Is it just because it's the most affordable FW nid? Or are the people putting them in their list just those theory faggots who don't actually play?

0/50

How's my 1000pt Primaris Ground Pounder?

Captain in Gravis Armour with The Burning Blade - 137pts
Primaris Lieutenant (default) - 74pts
Primaris Apothecary - 68pts
10 Auto Bolt Rifle Primaris Intercessors - 201pts
Contemptor Dreadnought with Kheres Pattern Assault Cannon and Combi Bolter - 165pts
3 Inceptors with Assault Bolters - 190pts
5 Hellblasters with Plasma Incinerators - 165pts

Total 1000pts

Also seeking advice. After Aggressors, is it better to go for a Repulsor or Redemptor?

Shut the fuck up. I don't want the good thread squatted because of /pol/.

How many Necron Dynasties, Tau Septs, Knight Households, and Sororitas Orders have official paint schemes?
Do you think that they'll get some bonus like the Tyranid Hive Fleets?

They lost it because the kind of people who announce something like that are usually apologizing for it. It's an indication that he's taken with critical theory or intersectional social theory, which are typically associated with the left wing of the culture war.

Super excited. :)

Honestly? They're pretty lame. They look like Dark Angels that want to be "more pure".

-1/10, literal garbage

Sorry user someone asked a question so i thought i would answer them.

this , but for the sake of quitting the shit while we're ahead, let's go ahead and answer you:

I think there are several Necron dynasties with official paint schemes, certainly enough to have offical paint schemes for their chapter tactics, whenever they come out. I don't know about the households or septs. I think there are at least 5 or 6 Sororitas Orders, if I remember my Witch Hunters codex correctly.

He looks like a cream soda. Based on your fluff, you should call them Inquisitorial Brotherhood of Catechists so that you can put IBC on their shoulderpads.

Many
Yes, if it had then it gets CTs

I would like it more if the shield had some color or symbol on it. It'd look great if you could put unique heraldry on each one.

Hey, thnx for claryfing! Back to 40k shit now, has a point, too much /pol/ already

Yes, but how many?

Unfortunately the tool doesn't really have a way to do that, but I'm still trying to think of a cool symbol to put on their shoulder. I was thinking a goat head or something.

I like the model and it gives shroud to monsters. I play Nidzilla so it was an obvious choice

Why is everyone getting hyped by Devourer Carnifexes? S6 AP0 is rather lackluster or not?

SM in cover and vehicles don't care about that and Tyranids have a serious AT problem
