Great OP image, OP.

We are blessed by our spiritual liege.

>How do you customize your army? How are they different?

Color scheme and units I take, Im building a Primaris Black Templar Crusade so right now Im taking couple of Reiver squads and a couple of Inceptors (Which have BT terminator shoulder pads) and I've added some BT bits to my Dreadnoughts, Elite units will have a variation of the BT heraldry where one shoulder will be red and trim white to mark the Crusade's heraldry, anything else will have the colors reversed and Dreadnoughts will have both shoulders red. These are my dudes and may be similar to other dudes but these are mine!.

>Primaris Black Templar
Why? The only reason to play Templars is to use their exclusive units, all of which happen to be old school marines

I like the models and I already have more than enough old marines to run whatever. Im still using old marines for now but Im waiting for the Primaris range to expand so one day I can run a full army, until then Im just using Crusaders as troops supported by Terminators, Reivers, Inceptors and Dreadnoughts depending on the list.

>how did you customize your army?

All of my grotesques are built using other kits. A mix of crypt horrors and rat ogres.

My cronos is made up of a metal wraith lord, de reaver bike bits, and cronos bits such as the mask and spirit syphon

My khymerae which are still in work are AoS direwolves with talons from genestealer bits.

>Orders - unquestionable
>All rank and file expendable

>How do you customize your army? How are they different?

I play nids, so I mainly do unique conversions for my more special bugs, and I have my own colorscheme and fleet

...

Nids and Orks seem like they are open to large amounts of customization.

And none of whom have special rules.

I also fluff them up, but no one really cares about backstory:

Hive Fleet Cavea is a small splinter fleet off of Behemoth. The fleet has lost contact with the main fleet for several centuries but has somehow evolved in parallel with the main body.

They carry with them a divergent copy of the Swarmlord conscience and has spawned their lord more frequently than others. Because of their small size, they favor tight spearhead insertions, with most of their biomass spent on spawning elite specialist creatures led by their Swarmlord rather than huge swarms of expendable troops.

Hive Fleet Cavea is not strong enough to conquer large populated planets yet, instead preferring to focus on small colonies and lone communication relays on the edge of imperium territory.

>Rate my fluff

is this 2004?

can't wait until we get some SoS vs Culexus infighting.

No but it is 2012. That's what the mayans predicted. 2012 is when everything stopped. Think about it user.

Wtf is wrong with bobby's neck.

FULGRIM'D

General Kenobi.

Have you nominated Duncan as warhammer hero yet?

Your power sword will make a fine addition to my collection.

So something I'm curious about.

I just disscovered the artist is female. How many females are big on the 40k universe and it's lore? Obviously I'm not saying they can't like it or anything but it's a curious thing to me

Why don't they send these guys to fight every daemon primarch that dares show their face in the material plane?

They thought it was a good idea to send one against tau!

Why have we stopped going to the last thread and linking the new one

Dunno what Kabal to paint my deldar as. I want to use the transfer sheet, so I’m limited to:
-black heart (“vanilla” DE)
-poisoned tongue
-bloodied rose
-flayed skull
-last hatred
-dying sun
-baleful gaze
-lords of the iron thorn
-broken sigil (the night lords of DE)
-black myriad

Wraithkind (pic related) are also cool, but I’d like to use transfers

Couple of my friends like the lore and game, but hate going to FLGS to play because of all the creeps

Are forgeworld models really unbalanced?

It seems some stand out as exceptionally good like the Sicaran Battle Tank, Leviathan Dreadnought etc but what do you think?

Is there a lore reason for Chaos not getting thunder hammers? It's a little annoying to have to settle for the objectively worse power fist

Well that just goes without saying really.

There better be cause i want them so bad

Why do the Thousand Sons have a strictly inferior version of the "psykers band together" stratagem than loyalist chapters?

Why did GW decide to blanket nerf all psykers (fucking over Tzeentch and Grey Knights) rather than just increasing the cost of the too-cheap-psykers that were being spammed?

Because they specifically hate you and your army. There I said it. You know it's true. Only one way out now. RIP user.

...

FW playtests even less than GW, so they have a tendency to accidentally release crazy broken shit (both OP and UP). People only ever take the super OP shit, which leads to the general perception that FW is OP.

Continuing the discussion from last thread, would the SoB pair well with the GK? They're fluffy as hell and I've heard the Sisters are pretty good.

You've posted this in literally every thread, please just pick one. You might as well pick solely based on looks, or else go with either Vect or Malys' kabals based solely on the idea that they might get models some day in the distant, distant future.

There's barely any fluff and even if your kabal gets wiped out somehow during the Dysjunction/Daemon invasion just play them as a splinter. It's 100% down to what you like. Nobody else can pick for you and there's basically no criteria to pick based on anyway other than colour.

tl;dr just paint a few dudes up in your top 3 favorite choices, strip the 2 you don't like as much and go with the 3rd

Forgeworld models have either been nerfed to shit or are barely passable on the tabletop
[spoilers]Except for FW doors they're OP as all hell[/spoilers]

Because you don't have a codex yet.

>They're fluffy as hell
Not really. The Grey Knights are super secretive, and the Sisters are intended to deal with entirely different kinds of conflicts/duties.

About 10 yeats ago they were. But by now it's litterally just a meme, that people for some reason still believe in. Obviously you'll still find some strong stuff among them, but 40k itself is so unbalanced that there is no point in outright banning FW. The problem is that the community takes the game way too serious and either uses FW for minmaxing or endlessly cries about some models they'll never see irl.

>Animefag
>Autistic complaint

It checks out

If FW wasn't better - there'd be almost no reason to take it. Unless you just like the models for some reason.

That doesn't explain why our stratagem is just a shittier version of an Imperial stratagem or why they chose such a brain-dead and heavy-handed Smite "fix." Grey Knights already have a codex, and the Smite nerf probably hits them even harder than it does us.

Pretty sure the Grey Knights used to be the elite wing of the Inqusition/Sisters of Battle before they became their own army

That applies to literally every single unit in the game, user. FW makes models for stuff that GW doesn't. Wanting to use them isn't any proof whatsoever that they're better.

No. Grey Knights were/are the military arm of the Ordo Malleus. Sisters aren't affiliated with that Ordo at all.

Yes, just like how everyone has that one army buff that makes everyone subtract 1 to their shooting if more than 12 inches away.

Why do Thousand Sons get the clone rules?

dark angels upload when??

>It's autistic to ask people to put a small amount of effort into the OP of new threads instead of just copy pasting and slapping a meme pic on it

yes, yes it is, now shutup.

Not everyone can be super duper original and witty and funny all the time.

The issue isn't that we got the same stratagem as other armies, it's that we got a strictly inferior version of the same stratagem as other armies. Despite being THE psyker legion, their psyker stratagem is worse than the loyalist marine version.

Sicaran Relic Tank

I rest my case.

Go back to plebbit you fucking faggot

No but I did nominate my favourite recaster.

What are good ways to position the Death Companies Powerfist? I cant seem to put it into a way that doesn't look stupid or is just in a neutral position.

>just ordered bits to make my 18th and 19th warbosses

I need professional help

>already the strongest psyker faction in the game
>want stronger psyker stratagems too ontop of that
LOL (Laughing out Loud) friend

Use a Thunder Hammer

Do you just want them to look different, or are you actually fielding all those warbosses?

The beauty with dark eldar, user, is that there’s actually very little fluff on factions like kabals, but there’s more out there on their leaders (like Vect and Malys). And even still, for archons other than those two, you’re going to be hard pressed to find anything more than a paragraph or two. Here’s some links to archons of kabals you listed:

But user i don't want a Thunder hammer. I want a power fist. Also a Thunder hammer looks like it would block the chest and i want to paint the chest.

15 I think is the max you can do.

Eldar are the strongest psyker faction, and Tzeentch's Firestorm makes me very doubtful that we'll overtake them.

See user i was sad tonight but then you made me happy. Thank you user.

I'm planning on starting a GSC army soon. Any idea on how I should paint my cultists? I'm planning to do glossy black carapace with lavender flesh for my purestrains. I was considering this for the clothes on the army. What do you think? Should I just do black and grey for them?

Now I need to see a list with 15 warbosses

How the fuck can some of you dildos still not get spoilers right

Instead of giving the captain the gift of foresight, give him the angel's wings, a thunder hammer, make him of the death company and shoot it in enemy lines. Trust me on this, it's devastating. (And if you add some buff via psychic powers...)

Only true Admech song

So Veeky Forums, regarding the "beta" psychic rules, is GK affected? I've heard some people argue that they aren't (their smite is called Rites of Banishment, not Smite) and some argue that they are (Rites of Banishment happens when Smite is manifested). Thoughts?

Foresight is the Warlord Trait. The Chaplain has the Wing's to eat the charge for the DC. The Jump Captain is to buff the Plasma Vets. Also, everything is WYSIWYG.

I do have a model with a Thunder Hammer though. I'll think about it.

Propaganda is such an amazing fucking song.

only one way to find out.
Play it

I'm a fan of the tri las pred, it's pretty great this edition.

also don't be afraid of swapping the devastator weapons for something useful if they don't work out.

I like the idea but the only issue i can foresee is a small elite army might just deepstrike on your anus and fuck your devestators but that could also be a good thing for you.

if by rest your case you mean shutting the fuck up, then good

There is zero argument for them not to be affected. They have a special rule that alters Smite, but they still manifest Smite.

...

why is there a limit?

matched play, 3 detachments, command lets you bring 5...

Daemon primarchs, princes and greater daemons tend not to hang out in realspace long enough to get an assassination order. Most culexus get sent to kill sorcerers or eldar. They sent one against the tau because they probably thought ethereals were Psykers. Funny thing is, the culexus was the only one who was successful. Tau technology couldn’t detect it, and it’s null powers worked just as well on them. All those taufags claiming Tau should be immune because they have a weak warp presence eternally BTFO

This looks like it was written by someone who's never actually read the lore.

>Adeptus Custodes

Clearly youtube.com/watch?v=XUhVCoTsBaM

Because it takes time to authorize their use and get them shipped out and in position.

It's not like a captain saying "Magnus? Ready the fleet, we leave within the hour!" Then they do.

Instead it goes to the High Lords of Terra, gets put on the pile of stuff, eventually gets looked at, voted on, authorized for use on Planet "X" for use against "Y" for "Z" reasons. Then the mission gets sent to the temple, an assassin is chosen, briefed, and sent out. Then they travel to Planet "X" only to find Magnus destroyed it 9 years ago and is on the other side of the galaxy now.

What can I field Salamander Pyroclasts as in 40k?

I love the models, but no one around here plays 30k.
