it's shit

mechanicum transport NEVER

SECOND FOR THE BEST CHAPTER

Every marine player is the most annoying. You marine players are basically girls with dyed hair. You try to act like you're not the same as those other marine players, but you are all terrible and can't be trusted.

Nth for the most stubborn

>tougher than land raider
>146pts

Why is this allowed?

Is it advisable to give your Thornbacks Scything Talons if they have Enhanced Senses and a gun?
I feel they just get charged and stay locked in CC for the entire game.

Magnetizing Onager Dunecrawler is hard.

xth for Primaris daddies tearing up my tight supple scout ass and rearranging my new organs

Nah thats still the Sons of Dorn, they are all willing to die in the hundreds just to defend a single hill and not retreat.

Shut up and accept Papa Nurgle's gift!

fuck all damage output

Because Papa Nurgz scorns the undevoted. Just accept his love dammit.

Its offensively shit
the main gun does nothing

As a sisters player, what real disadvantage do I have putting my special weapons in troops vs Dominions? I get 3 weapons instead of 5 and lose out on the scout, which honestly just gets me killed every game anyway. In exchange, I get more immolators and CP and my units are mostly all ObSec.

What color scheme would Tyranids have if they were designed in the first half of the 20th Century?

>What is it?

Something Primaris. Round with 4 rivets matches the style of their backpacks.

SKREEEEEEE!!! SCREEE!! SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH!!!! scree.

How incompetent can you be that you your Dominions all the time?

Anybody use these? How are they?

New sector mechanicus terrain that no one cares about.

Primaris Techpriestius Ultracae

Been thinking of conversion ideas for this flying lawn chair, any ideas?

I'm usually going last, and scouting forward when going second just screams "KILL THIS FIRST!!" especially against shit like nids and eldar.

Looking at the original crisis suits they feel somewhat out of place in 40k. However, they look somewhat like a slimmed down dread. Now, if you look at some of the new suits with the exception of the stormsurge, they all look like something straight out of anime. When did they decide to change the feel of the faction? What designers are responsible for this?

On a bike with a conversion beamer. Because fuck you, marinelets.

Tau are just horribly out of place within the 40k universe.
Independent Kroot + Vespid dex when?

More mechanicus terrain.

I've had good use with them. The d2 is appealing for big targets but realistically, you'll get way more kills/wounds dealt if you keep its targets as light infantry/bikes/snipers. the 2d6 shots are a great use of the command reroll in the shooting phase, but i have played very few games with the codex where those command points have far more uses, so judge accordingly.
Cannot praise enough thou, they are great aginst light infantry/bikes. No line of sight required means you can even skip the chin cannon usually (you are hiding it behind LOS blocking terrain, right?), but it can still help against deep strikers to your back line. plus, its a flying fast tank, so great for snagging objectives late game.

So what's the consensus on the Chapter Approved leaks?

I think Stormlords are cool as fuck. How much will I gimp myself by running one?

I feel they could get away with the fire warriors and the hammerheads as well. They could go for that imperial Chinese style. It's just that the mechas look too much like weeb shit.

In codex minor xenos along with Slaugth, Rak'gol, and the Megarachnids.

I would kinda like to see how the newly repriced 549 point Marauder Destroyer performs in glorious battle, but you did that one already and I doubt the extra 89 points has made it much less of a murder machine. If it's a big enough game maybe bring an armour list plus a supcomm of Techpriests and a Knight and go full Knight of the Cog with your six billion Command Points? Rotate shields, add Shroudpsalm and BotO for rerolls or 2+ save.

admech vtol flyer trooptransport, looks like a giant insect

Your BSSs aren't fast enough to make use of ≤12" range, especially not while trying to hold objectives at the same time. Also, if you're playing 2000 points you should be taking a Brigade for those +9 child porns and then it's not like you have a choice which units you take.

>user says, triumphantly clicking "Post" to submit his comments to forechandotcom, a message board for discussing anime with other weebs around the world.

I've got two boxes of vanguard/rangers. Do I magnetize them or just say fuck it and build one of each arc/plasma/alpha/data thingy/arquebus from every box? I can potentially have 4 squads of 5, with 2 of each.

>Megarachnids
>arachnids
>nids
user...

You do know you can choose not to move. It is done right before the first turn, not before first turn is decided?

>Magnetizing basic infantry

Think about what you would like to run them with and build accordingly.

Yeah, i know. Spent the entire evening magnetizing Onager, now I want to magnetise EVERYTHING. EVEN THE SKY, EVEN ALLAH!

Make it so that the warriors are actually pedalling

There is a fine line between the two.

Or move backwards to bait someone into deploying shit to kill them. Then if your opponent's antitank dudes get bored and wander off, you can chase them down with an AoF move and fuck them up.

>Getting shit on by WYSIWYG-fags for building the wrong unit because it looked cool.

>tfw too smart to be a tyranid

>not thinking about what you build before you get slapping models

Also: Magnetize your shit. its an easy magnet job.

>Playing with wysiwyg fags
This is the future you chose

Hey guys I'm just starting 40k and need some help. Whats better in 8th edition, WAACfags or CAACfags?

I just didnt bother putting the drivers in it.

Also, does citadel green stuff have an expiration once you open the packaging?

So when are daemons going to be Fun (tm) again?

Just b urself

>Hey guys I'm just starting 40k
sure :)

You do realize that pic is a meme chapter right?

Just look up comic books with dinosaurs from that era. Tyranids are space dinosaurs.

January, my guess is demons will get a benefit and then a bonus, so you can do Undivided and God specific.

So this is my 2k Blood Angels List anons. What do you think?

Never because too many cucks whined about having to roll randomly for things in the faction about random chaos.

You do realize that post is a meme, right?

Yes but will I get to consult more random tables is the real question

I thought neophytes didn't exist in bigmarines

>run my Blightlords with 4x combi-plasma
>only one of them actually has it because the box only comes with one so the rest of them are holding combi-bolters
>salty fag tells me after a game that people like me ruin the hobby (he lost)

What the fuck am I supposed to do? Buy 4 boxes of them? Fuck no.

A-user.. that's l-lewd...

HHh~

All chapters are meme chapters.
Space Marine players are the tripfags of 40k.
They all think they're special but they spout the same meaningless drivel as the rest of us. They just get more attention because name recognition is the lowest common denominator.

That's a stupid fucking question because if tyranids as they were originally designed were instead designed in the early 20th they'd have been taking inspiration from genres and artstyles that didn't exist yet
so they'd look the same or they wouldn't exist at all

Convert them with spare bits.

I would straight up tell you to your face you have one combi-plasma if that's all that's modelled when you put them on the table.

Seems a bit disparate. Needs more anti-tank longrange

Better than nothing

either those are really big skulls or that's a really small dickgun

Considering the rulebook removed almost all random stuff I dont think its likely.

I don't have spare bits.
Also you are a fucking abortion if that is your honest attitude.

I just give mine a thresher scythe or bone mace for an extra punch so they arent useless in combat. Most things that actively charge carnifexes have a means of killing it anyways, so its usually just better to sacrifice the fex and focus on something else. Be glad that the unit is being tied up for at least a combat phase.

>Have dyed hair.
>Play Guard/GSC because SM are boring.

How about:
I'd only make it an issue if your models aren't painted.
Fair?

>I don't have spare bits.
Then buy them, trade for them, or greenstuff them. You have options. Proxying is cancer.

Boring. Guess I'll go play Mordheim or something similar to get my RNG fix

Dominions and Seraphims make the SoB army
You run Battle Sisters when you wish to use battalion or something

fuck him in the mouth

Every GSC player is the most annoying. You GSC players are basically girls with dyed hair. You try to act like you're not the same as those other GSC players, but you are all terrible and can't be trusted.

>every player ever has a bit box full of extra weapons spanning back 10 years ago
>especially the new players buying into Dark Imperium
I play crons and I am disappoint.

All my models are fully painted.

All possible options should come with the box, the price is high enough.

user the jokes does not work when the army does not have more codex and variants than the rest of the model line

replace the front pilots with beer cans, and turn the rest of it into a beer dispenser.

you're a little biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch then

What did he mean by this? Did you respond to the wrong post or something?

>enforcing pay 2 win
disgusting desu senpai

Have a winter league coming up, and my hive guard won't come in time. Shrouded dakkafex are my only answer. This look alright?

>being this autistic
I mean, dont get me wrong, I aim for maximal WYSIWYG with my armies, I recently ripped off a bunch of incinerators of my GKs and replaced them with storm bolters and swords, but ffs dude, you dont have to force other people to do the same thing.

Just starting to build my second Onager now and I want to actually magnetise it this time. Where'd you put the magnets? Don't really need options besides Icarus Array and Neutron Laser because the other bits will wind up in some conversion or other anyway, but this looks like considerably more of a faff than magnetising my Knight.

buy bits off ebay you fucking poorfag

>You GSC players are basically girls with dyed hair.
I mean you're not wrong

We need a counts-as alignment chart.

>file the barrel ends off the combi-bolters
>replace with gargoyle heads from chaos vehicle upgrade sprue
>add whatever things you can find that look like fuel tanks or plasma cells
>have your combi-weapons be combi-whatever-the-hell-you-want-them-to-be-this-game

At least two of those dakkafexes should have devourers, not deathspitters.
Make the Neurothrope the Warlord, he's annoyingly hard to kill due to being a character with a 3++ that heals himself by smiting things.
The warriors are shit, get some Hive guard/Exocrines/Tyrannofexes instead...
>and my hive guard won't come in time
Oh. :(

>all these salty poorfags who can't afford a few extra bits
It's always the fucking poorfags who shit up this hobby and board and manage to have a holier-than-thou attitude while doing it too, jesus. Absolute ass-cancer.

>Buy Blightlord Termies
>Think the sword looks like a dildo, build the axes instead
>Kit comes with only three of either weapon
There is no excuse for that nonsense, combi-weapons aside, those kits should come with all 5 axes, seeing as they are the "stock" option and all.
