Warhammer 40.000 General /40kg/

There isn´t enough Vostroyans on the tables, and I swear if I see another krieg army with the french scheme and muddy bases im going to kill myself.

Go Vostroyan, every mother fucker be wanking over Death korp.

Buck the trend friendo

What is everyone else's favourite model from their faction?

Forgive me father for I have sinned.

I build my tyrant with wings even though I think walking tyrants look cooler even if they're not half as good.

How would the Secutarii treat Knight Titan Knights? Would they view them as like little brothers to the titans or consider them totally insignificant to their charges?
Do these guys still exist in 40k?

I really like the Emperor's Champion

This thread has been blessed by the righteous! PSYKERS KEEP MOVING, THIS IS A WITCH-FREE THREAD!.

Necron: Destroyers
Admech: Dragoons
Thousand Sons: Ahriman
GSC: your basic neophyte cultist

What the fuck is this fanfiction cancer?

>thousand sons
My dream is this in 40k

Well, I guess I'll go for them Vostroyans. Any good third party stuff I can use to make them, or should I go all metal for it?

>I swear if I see another Krieg army with the French scheme and muddy bases I'm going to kill myself.
I didn't want to do that at all, I swear.
I wanted to do them white on fresh trenches

Is tzeentch even worth playing without fagnus and 100 brimstones?

...

Idea for Death Guard List:

Batallion:
Daemon Prince with Talons and Wings, Suppurating Plate Relic and Arch-Contaminator Warlord Trait. 180
Malignant Plaguecaster, 110

Noxious Blightbringer, 70

5 Plague Marines with 2 Blight Launchers and 1 Plasma Gun, 136
5 Plague Marines with 2 Blight Launchers and 1 Plasma Gun, 136
5 Plague Marines with 2 Blight Launchers and 1 Plasma Gun, 136
5 Plague Marines with 2 Blight Launchers and 1 Plasma Gun, 136

Plagueburst Crawler with Slugger and 2 Entropy Cannons, 156
Plagueburst Crawler with Slugger and 2 Entropy Cannons, 156

Outrider:
Lord with Combi-Plasma and Balesword, 95

Blight Hauler, 142
Bloat Drone with 2 Spitters, 158
Bloat Drone with 2 Spitters, 158
Bloat Drone with 2 Spitters, 158

Total: 1927.

Also summon a Herald of Nurgle with fleshy abundance for 70 pts. Buffs the daemon prince and drones with +1s. Can also heal them.

Thoughts?

I love this guy, his IG shit is amazing, but for your guys you'll probably need to kitbash if you dont want to spend 6 gorillion

Yes because not everyone is a boring ass tournament wannabe

Look into historical miniatures - there are some 28mm ones that fit the Vostroyan theme out there.

This cunt. Specifically this model and not the new, shitty one.

Dreadnoughts
Wraithlords
Kasrkin
Fire Warriors
Incubi

Excuse me good sir. My sensor detects a high amount of waacfaggotry radiating off of you. Please step into the back, and never mind the big guys with guns.

I've seen Mad robot, that stuff looks good. Was actually tempted to get some of those Lucky 87s for if I ever play HH.
Any specific recommendations? I assume I need to look at Napoleonic stuff.

>Tyrant
>Singular

Get ye more boy.

you could run them as dreadnoughts

Warpsmith is a really cool mini, I just wish he was plastic

Vostroyans are a bit..problematic user. unless you are very very trusting in your conversion abilities dont buy them as your main army.
Since there is only a single squad for sale the poses will become very recognisable when you have more than 2 of the same guy. Especially with someone very recognisable like sergeants.

>not wanting to lose 100% of games because literally every unit is shit except for 2-3 is waacfag
Seriously. They all suck except for fagnus, brims, and changeling.

Love the Lord Commissar model

you could make your own doctor octopus

Been thinking about magnetizing my tyrant when I get it because I am uncertain about wings. If I end up going Jorm I don't want a flyrant. Plus thinking about what possible poses I could do with it and well, let's just say I am a fan of dragons and want to see if I can get it on four legs instead of bipedal, though that is a bit WAACfaggy due to lower profile and all that since the wings don't count for seeing a model.

Am I the only one that hates the designs of Power Sword blades? they look like slightly sharpened cudgels with a really cut-oriented tip

The Predator Baal, I love the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

>Space Marines
The emperors champion or the death company chaplain

>tyranids
Maleceptor all day

Bonus round for factions I don't care for
>harlequins
Shadowseer (they guy with the faceless mask)

>orks
Great squiggoth

>eldar
Fire dragons

>dark eldar
The entire fucking model range

I've never found a good substitute for the tendrils

...

How about a Chaos Lord in Terminator Armour. I am asking this in the assumption that i will be able to some how fit new arms on the BaC Terminator captain even tho hes mono pose.

Quints decide if I start a tyranid army, and if so which hive fleet.

>warpsmiths can't take conversion beamers
>no doctor octogonapus

Warlord Games has a good range including some nice multi part plastic kits under their "Black Powder" ruleset. They're similarly proportioned to GW.

Also, they have Winged Hussars you could use as Rough Riders, and we ALL know you want to.

I really need to repaint mine. Look at that smug face,

>army is 90% nearly literal dumpster fire tier
>lol get good ecksdee

That is how special snowflakes get born.

>Quints
What the fuck is wrong with you?

Rogal Dorn should have been the surviving primarch, not girlyman and his faggots

>Winged Hussars you could use as Rough Riders
Oh Fuck Yes.

He's alive, calm down.

The Warp has overtaken me. Do you hear the voices too?

Why is his face half Spock and half Kirk though?

I hear one voice. The will of the Hive Mind.

*Sanguinius, was looking at something else

Wanted to spice up my army so converted my Dark Angels to Fallen.

Look good?

Pls don't bully.

Already got the army I want, going to buy guants, carnifexes and everything related to spores next (yes, even biovores).

guitar wire or wire wrapped paperclips with the servo arm ends of SM rocket launchers

>tfw rejected from employment by GW

I was so excited boys

They're entirely usable in casual play of your local playgroup isn't stained by waacfaggotry. You sound like you want tg to justify your use of hyper competitive netlist bullshit. Rubrics and tzaangors are fine, if a bit weak and lacking in codex improvements.

If you're trying to make a mono tzeentch daemons army though, I'm sorry. I hope things will be fixed with your codex because they suck total ass even in casual play.

Biovores are great.

...COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN SIDE!

And I am sold to Chaos, hence I need a strong call.

What position, lad?

at a store or back office?

fucking kek, great conversion user, you take kitbashing to a whole new level

Rules wise but people make fun of them for being cum cannons, big balled bombardiers, dicked destroyers.

How convertable are they? If I can give them plasma guns easily enough I'm sold. Actually i'm sold anyway, but I want to know.

>No crested head

It's shit.

No seriously I get that every other part of the model is a huge step up in quality, but no crested head is shit.

>Do these guys still exist in 40k?

Yeah, they're still around. They recently got a medium-sized role in the Warlord: Fury of the God-Machine book where they kick a shit ton of ass with aimbot grenade launchers and mecha-punches. Darkmech is pretty cool in that book too, they have suicide EMP bomb corrupted Dunecrawlers to breach the Secutarii lines. I'll find the excerpts.

No idea how they'd see Knights, though. They escort Titans, so I suspect they'd be the big brothers to the Secutarii as opposed to baby Titans.

They did have 7e rules where they were kind of insane, with 24" Assault 4 lasguns that rerolled wounds at BS5 Ignore Cover that could also fire Rending 30" range Warpfire Bolters or S3 AP5 IC blasts that could aim out of Line of Sight. Basically if you were less than T5 and in front of Peltasts you became very sad.
Hoplites were basically a 12" Instant Death Radius for vehicles with Haywire shots, although without transport they only became lethal in the Heresy with Deep Striking 8.33 Hull Points off any Superheavy or Spartan or something. If their Haywire is better than the expected S5 AP- D1 (D3 against VEHICLES) crap then they might be pretty brutal with Stygies tactics.
8e rules were going to be in FoC, which was supposedly so close they and the Ordinatii were the only units left out of the Indexes, but that won't manifest until 2018 at least.

Unfortunately they're metal models and monopose, so not very. You're probably best off hanging the guns from the saddle.

That's a pretty neat drop pod assault you've got there.

I'm sure he'll turn up.

I hope his junk compensates for the size of his hands.

True, part of why I have thought of getting Pyrovores instead (plus cheaper) and just buying a bundle of spore mines and recasting the spore mines.

I wish they kept the crested head, was tempted to pick one up off of Ebay, damn the price.

Store Manager for a new shop. Thought I aged the interview and everything.

Skype interviews are weird as fuck

THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

Custodes, this baller right here
Bonus answers:
SoB = Celestine and her girls
Orks = A specific Nob I painted up not long ago

It's much easier to make a good impression in person. Never do a skype interview unless it's your only option.

They technically exist, but their rules have yet to be updated to 8th edition.

Despite multiple claims made by GW that all models would have rules, at least Index rules.
Despite multiple releases by FW since 8th started, including some errata that allow for the fielding of other units that also didn't have rules at first.
Despite the FW Mechanicus book having been announced approaching two years ago.
Despite them having been available on the webstore since 2016, meaning hundreds of people probably have those models with no ability to play them.
Despite many questions asked of the customer service team, and many responses along the lines of, "Soon, we promise."

My advice is that if you don't already own them, don't buy them now.

Aw. Welp, it'll do, and look fabulous doing it. Aside from that, what specific models in Warlord's range would work for converting?

bully if you want: I'm the user making a complete custom doctrine for play with my friends casual and narrative games and I need some advice. I'm trying to make a regiment based in a forgeworld or similar and looking to make some blanced doctrines between Infantry and Vehicles, also I don't want overpowered rules, but better fun and in similar tier with the official ones, so what do you think? Will you pick some of them? Are my options realistic or OP? Thougts? Ideas? Thanks for the help.

>INFANTRY

- INFANTRY units with this doctrine add 1 to their Leadership characteristic if they are within 12" of a friendly DASADSAS OFFICER.In addition; COMMAND SQUAD, SPECIAL WEAPONS SQUAD and VETERANS units with this doctrine add 1 to their Leadership characteristic.

- INFANTRY units with this doctrine treat attacks against them with an AP of -1 as having AP 0.In addition; TECH-PRIEST ENGINSEER and SERVITORS units replace their faction keyword for this doctrine.

- INFANTRY units with this doctrine treat attacks against them with an AP of -1 as having AP 0.In addition; all MILITARUM AUXILLA units adds the faction keyword doctrine.

- INFANTRY Two other Guardsmen may form a Heavy Weapons Team who must take an item from the Heavy Weapons list.

>vehicles
-VEHICLES with this doctrine add 1 to their Save characteristic.

-VEHICLES with this doctrine can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for cannon weapons. A cannon weapon is any weapon profile whose name includes the word ‘cannon’ (e.g. autocannon, battle cannon, hellhammer cannon etc.).

- If a VEHICLE with this doctrine remains stationary or moves under half speed in its Movement phase (i.e. it moves a distance in inches less than half of its current Move characteristic) it can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for cannon weapons. A cannon weapon is any weapon profile whose name includes the word ‘cannon’. If a model has a similar ability you can choose which ability to use, but you cannot use both.

...

Tau: Hammerhead or the plain ol' Fire Warrior, can't decide
Space Marines: Cataphractii
Admech: Rangers

It's all they offer I'm assuming since the hiring is done through the Texas hq

But yea super weird being put together only from the waist up and not being able to look the person in the eye is outputting

Surprised they turned me down though I thought I would be a good candidate (I help the local gw manager all the time)

It's also pretty likely they already had someone in mind through another connection. Every single GW employee in my city is either a friend or a family member of some current or ex-employee. All store managers are former staffers that just got promoted in favor of hiring new people, even though the put it out there and had interviews and everything.

>They're entirely usable in casual play of your local playgroup isn't stained by waacfaggotry.
It's pretty close to this.
>You sound like you want tg to justify your use of hyper competitive netlist bullshit
Quite the opposite. Primarchs were a fucking mistake and I refuse to use them, and likewise brimstone horrors should not fucking exist, especially since with each nerf, horrors get worse as a whole. Why they're not separate us beyond me.
>Rubrics and tzaangors are fine, if a bit weak and lacking in codex improvements
Would be great if I was playing thousand sons
>If you're trying to make a mono tzeentch daemons army though, I'm sorry. I hope things will be fixed with your codex because they suck total ass even in casual play.
And there it is. That's what I thought. I got excited for my daemons again for the first time since they'll horrendous LOLRANDUMXD 6th edition codex after playing a game with them in fucking AoS of all things. Then, I thinned through my index again and just made myself sad. Everything is trash.

Doesn't help their head designer passed away. While yes not everything should revolve around him writing it all he likely had a lot of plans set up and not on paper leaving a lot of things devoid of anything to work with. So now FW has HH core rules to push out, they have to patch shit as 8th edition codex's come out and work on making their own, ect. Throw in reduced running of production likely cutting back how much they are focusing on 40k over HH stuff yeah, your advice is best. If you don't have em already, don't buy them until rules come out, which likely won't be for another 2-3 years.

Crested tyrant head tutorial. Should be even easier now that they aren't metal.

Coolest infantry models Ive seen. Hopefully IA14 comes out soon for their rules

Personally, I use their WW2 Soviet and Finnish infantry as guardsmen. Anti tank rifles = lascannons, MGs = heavy bolters, mortars = mortars, etc.

You could just look into the various Napoleonic infantry ranges and find someone who looks good for guardsmen. If you're doing Vostroyans, well: us-store.warlordgames.com/collections/napoleonic-russians

Ooo, thank you, book marking that. I am all for making my HQ's and solo elites as unique as possible.

Casually? Yes for Thousand Sons, not really for Daemons.

Magnus isn't that bad in a pure Thousand Sons list.

>Necrons
Either Illuminor Szeras or Vargard Obyron
>Tau
XV9 Battlesuit (with burst cannons)
>IG
Valdor Tank Hunter

is probably my favourite model overall though

Interestingly the only one of these I own are a couple of XV9s, although even they've got the fusion cascades

Here we are.

> Magos Xura Thezerin ordered from within Gloria Vastator.
>The secutarii responded as if possessing a single, collective mind. Thezerin’s doctrina imperative slaved all of their strategy to the overriding purpose of protecting the god-machines. Noospheric links switched their perceptions to binaric omniscience. Venterras experienced the entire battlefield reduced to digital components. The foe was a series of data streams, equations to be solved, then cancelled. The most efficient arc of fire, coordinated relative to that of every other secutarii, appeared before him. His response and his perception were simultaneous. The same was true of all the hoplites and peltasts.
>The results were devastating. The heretics ran into a wall of precision destruction. The front wave of the mob went down, not a single attacker making it through the wall of explosions and energy discharges.

Skitarii aimbot OP plz nerf.
