Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/:

I want a scheme I don't see much of at all, then found out I can't paint orange. So I'm learning how to paint again. Sticking with orange though

i haven't been paying attention, someone spoonfeed me why gk's suck

I took the color scheme of the couple legions I liked the most and mixed them all up to make my OC warband.

It's a terminal case of MarySue-itis. It's all ADB's fault

GK, DW and Sisters should have never been their own factions. Chalk it up as another of GW blunders.

ADB quite literally did nothing wrong.

over costed elite army in the age of low cost horde spam

So how do we fix grey knights as a standalone codex Even if they really shouldn't be one.

>your face when the daemon hunters become the hunted

...

>Terminators are 12ppm
>GK storm bolters are rapid fire 4, AP-2
>Gatling psilenser is S6 AP-2 D2
>Give them a new Knight sized model of a baby carrier in an exoskeleton at ~400points

>IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR Edition
Oh boy, what did I miss?

Why is she so perfect lads?

Sexiest being in the galaxy confirmed.

>0 feet in the pic
You can't just not include best part of her.

>Sexiest being in the galaxy
>Not deathleapers fangirl

>chaos

Bought GKs purely to take their swords and helmets for my Slaanesh Terminators. Legitimately shit enough to be good for nothing but spare points.

>NPCs

Parts* fucking phone.

>tfw you play Khorne Daemons and the Kronos fleet trait is useless against you.
I mean what do you have? Long ranged guns, Psssh.

>dreadloss

Saw some neat artwork and adapted it a bit, although I'm far too busy to paint anything much for months now so odds are I'll have an entire Forge World army book out before my vanilla Admech are where I want them to be at 3.5k.

What's the optimal loadout for Tartaros Termies? I'm guessing all LCs or all shooty with the autocannon? I know they are pretty bad but I like their look.

GK babies complain they can't field 20 Terminators VS 150 troopers and win.

I'd call it 'a dreadful loss' personally. And probably use other Dreads. I'll see if I can find pics of a battle-damaged Dread or a wreck for the last pannel

>Sexiest being in the galaxy
You posted wrong picture m8

Custodes brethren
Gold painting is an art
Been bouncing around different styles, aside from the WHTV one, which I hope everyone didn't use?

Anyone have this Cain story?

Hope GW remakes the inquisition or gives some imperial agents codex so i can play those factions together easily. Plastic sisters never ever

No Idea how it would work on custodes, but my recipe for gold is:
>Retributor Armour
>Agrax Earthshade
>Auric Armour Gold highlight
>Runefang Steel very fine highlight on the most visible edges

New GUO with bell seems memes. On a 4+ each turn, add a model to a Nurgle Daemon unit. This means beasts, drones and potentially Death Guard Blight Haulers.

I'm going to enter a tournament with this list and you can't stop me.

Retributor>reikland>Auric layer>runefang highlight is the WHTV way. Close to yours
I find Agrax over Retributor yields a nice warm gold
I've also tried seraphim>nuln>seraphim
Next maybe replace the wash with a glaze mix using light blue

So many ways to do gold

That was the 2 builds I was contemplating as well. Seems like they'll be better than LC Assault Termies with the melee build (better movement and a ranged attack on the sarge with the harness), while they wouldn't be so different from classic Termies in the ranged build (the plasma blaster being the difference, and I'm not sure if the gun is worth its price yet)

Thoughts on Whirlwhinds, Stalkers, and Hunters in Anno Domini [Current]?

I really would like to get a Whirlwhind, but I don't want it to be a shelf warmer

so use it.

you were never going to win the tournament anyway.

>so use it.
I just don't know what I would use it for.

>Sexiest being in the galaxy confirmed.
Nigga, she aint sanguinius

Gay

yeah, but also right

I was planning to use them as an escort for this guy if it makes a difference. LC does look better though.

Ah I thought they still did theirs like pic related. It is true, there are many ways to do it.

here is your birthday present, user

whatever its rules suggest it is for.
probably
artillery or anti-air.
whichever shitter in particular you are talking about.

Whirlwinds are actually mint in this edition mate. Is there a pesky blobs of Orks sitting on an objective out of sight across the table? Unleash 2D6 S6 shots on its ass every turn until it's fucking gone. Bring two or three at once, they're only 100pts each and they provide some serious harassment ability.

Not with that face she isn't.

It ends up being exciting and daunting simultaneously
Well, mixing it up really makes a Custode squad look unique

>convert the Greenskins into Orks
>convert the Grey Knights into Stormcast

Thanks grandma!

Sisters are still a faction?!?
I thought GW would have gotten around to squatting them already.

They need to squat the fucking Repressor at least. Fuck that unit. Minor point increase is not enough for how incredibly good it is.

>yfw you play khorne daemons, a “faction” that can barely fight a wet blanket, and think you can fight one of the strongest gunline armies in the game.
>an army that can put down minefields and having guns that ignore your your “”””invulnerable”””” save

How can Marines supplement an IG army outside of just fielding Girlyman?

Anybody got a digital copy of the last hunt they would be willing to share?

>have to pay points for it
So he’s basically just a daemonic HR manager, catching daemons showing up late for work?
>Nurgle daemons keep phoning in sick

Hmm. Interesting.

>>Nurgle daemons keep phoning in sick
Huehue

Any thoughts on this silly deep-strike-sucker-punch Tyranids list?
Kraken - battalion and outrider detachments 1998pts

Batallion -

Swarmlord in a deathspitter tyrannocyte

Flyrant with venom cannon, rending claws, etc

2 Trygon primes, each with 20 geanstealers

1 Mawloc for shits and/or giggles

12 hormagaunts, filling points

Outrider -

1 neurothrope

6 units of sky-slashers with spinemaws, to fill the army allowing the big bugs to deep strike, for optimum annoyance, and for grabbing objectives while your opponent deals with the 1600 points of bugs at his doorstep. Your opponent blow them away first turn? Good for them, they killed some bees.

I think this would be very fun to play and potentially ruin some friendships.

Why would I bother running Cataphractii armor or Tartaros armor in a Deathwing list?

Honest answer would be that SM can't do anything that IG won't do more efficiently.

>mfw my basic unit could tear through any unit it comes into contact with but will never come into contact with anything because they are 5++ all the time
>This is compounded in the fact that they refuse to give any my units deep strike outside of summoning.

CSM Codex
Tyranid Codex
Astra Militarum Codex
Which one bros, which one will give me best reads?

>tfw Slaanesh and khorne daemons are getting punished for Tzeentch daemons being too good.

Anyone have the new Farsight novel?

You literally shouldn't. It's an obvious cashgrab from GW

/r/ing spurdorks

Having read all three I like tyranids the most but the CSM codex is pretty good.
There was a really good story from the perspective of a chaos cultist explaining why they’re so willing to be meat shields.
>group of cultists charging a squad a space marines
>other cultists getting shot to bits around him
>”acceptable losses, I’m a chaos super man so that’ll never get happen to me! I’m going to behead a space marine!”
>gets shot and is dying on the floor
>”NOOOO HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN I WAS PROMISED IMMORTALITY HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME DARK GODS”

It's not really about either of your factions. It's about melee being shit this edition in general. If blood angels can't dominate the game with all tools they got, nothing will save melee.
Nids don't have that problem since they have tons of shooty options.

>plague roomba 12 pounds from bongland
>almost 30 pounds where I live
Fucking European currency conversion

But what about Orks user?

Alright, just checking.
I might model up an Interrogator Chappie in Cat armor, but I think I'm just gonna proxy some Cataphractii for Aggressors.

>tfw you aren't allowed to even have good ranged options because your codex mates can shoot psychic powers.

travel to europe and buy stuff in bulk to sell back in your country, eventually you'll make a profit

As far as I know strong ork lists still rely on shooting and psykers with mobs of boyz being nothing more than screens/tar pits.

Do Guard have a lot of deepstriking, fast units?
I would use jump pack HQs and Vanguard Veterans, and maybe an anti-tank unit in a drop-pod/flyer if you really want to commit with this theme.

Who is the Big Lenny of 40k?

>BA/DA players whine for years because they can't use rare Termi armors
>GW gives them just that
>'why should I bother?'
I swear it feels like this community is being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian sometimes

Guard have scions, which are cheaper and can be taken as troops to get lots of CP. They also have their own strong flyers and more efficient vehicles.
Only thing SM have that's not covered are terminators and those aren't great this edition.

>deep strike
Scions can deep strike. A unit setup in a Valkrie can perform something similar to deep striking.
>fast
Scout sentinels can scout 9" before the first turn and have a 9" movement. Hellhounds can move 12".

You know this makes me really sad that apparently Bloodthirsters are literally going to not get any buffs in the codex. At least give them the fight twice thing.

>>BA/DA players whine for years because they can't use rare Termi armors
le "BA/DA players are all the same person" face

>what is a dread for 300 please alex

>for years
Have they actually been out for years? Thought it was closer to a year and a half.
I'm not upset, I'm just not seeing a role that Deathwing Termies themselves, and of course DW Knights don't already fill better themselves.

FFS, they can't even take Plasma Cannons. I know I know, not in the box, but it's still pretty stupid.

>what is a dread
A shittier version of Leman Russ? Come on user, you aren't even trying.

Scout sentinels fucked my plans up in my last game. They took out my 2 forward geanstealer nodes on turn one, keeping them out of combat long enough to get blasted off the board.

Who says you have to pay points, this is adding models to those who have lost one.

It's why we end up with CSM and AM having very similar send in the next wave mechanics but it being free for Chaos since you use it on a still living unit.

Russes are fucked by melee units. Dreads can hit back at things like carnies.

Too poor? I'd say it deserves your money if you can afford it.

Should i get Eldar Codex?

They now reroll charges and are also getting extra hits on 6's. That plus Deepstrike them for 2CP makes me really happy I have 3 of them.
Plus big axe dude now has 2nd weapon profile with double the attacks.
Plus relic for 4++ and deny.
