Who is the most useful Necron special character overall in 8th?

WHERE

Third for Tzeentch?

FOURTH FOR KRIEG BEING WORST IG REGIMENT 8TH EDITION

the deceiver

nowhere

>spent ages considering Krieg as my first army
>"If I'm going to invest in loads of toy men, they might as well be the best looking ones"
>8th comes out
>they're shit
>my wallet is saved

Xth for best waifu.

Not so, he just wants you to think that.

...

Wonder if I can use them with GSC
Might grab a random IG/Neophyte model and cover it in explosives

You know to go along the terrorist theme

...

How many points is the "Start Collecting Blood Angels" box roughly?

Thinking of starting with that then Dark Imperium. I know Dark Imperium is roughly 1k points, so would the SC be about 300? 250?

>bought a bunch of krieg stuff during 7th edition
>really built my collection up before 8th
>8th comes out
>consistently lose game after game
>love my boys too much to let them go

Nobody knows that "mon chéri" is the masculine form in historical bretonian proto language ? The knight should say "ma chérie", otherwise he is talking to a guy.

the diviner

I know that feel brother
t. necronfag

user, ork players have dealt with it for years.
Play your dudes because you love them, not because they are the new meta.

Yes, in your Brood Brothers Detachment. You can use any of the Forgeworld AM stuff aside from Krieg and Elysians.

Your boy is just making the finishing touches to his Deathwatch army that I brought over Christmas.
Got 7PL left over in my 100 PL list(we mostly play PL where I play)
What should i fill it with? would an assassin be good?

This is the only pic that made me regret the end of WHF.
The flowers give me feels, I did the same for my aunt.

Hey guys! I’ll post it in Wip too, but mind giving some painting advice?

I’m working on my custodes bigboi, but I’m not sure how to paint all the details on him. Big thing is the Aquila- usually I do silver wings (see vexilla) with a darker shading, should I do this on his chest? I’m leaning towards it though not yet sure.

Also, ideas for laurels? I’m thinking maybe gold or white for the one on his head and green for the one on his pauldron. Also how should I paint the blade of his spear?

400-500 depending on loadout.

Also shot of finished (hopefully) gold on the lower leg, does it look alright? I wanted something a little brighter for the scary melee monster (not to mention honored ancient), though it might be a bit too gaudy. Either way I’m a terrible judge, your thoughts?

not everyone speaks arabic user

Every time I see that image posted there's a French speaker who comments on it.

ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN

Zahndrekh looks like he'd be fun with his ability to nullify character auras.

Krieg was always shit.

I bounce in beetween krieg rules and regular IG regiments mixed up. Like for the mechanized stormtroopers i play tallarn+catachan artillery and for the infantry blobs i go pure catachan, should try some cadian sometime.

I really like the bigboi so far and i always go for nice green laurels, the spearhead i would go for a bit of freehand lightning on it

Best and most underappreciated and the primarch everyone here should be able to relate to coming through. Toot toot.

Because the mistake is so fucking basic it hurts
That is like saying “look at the boat” while clearing looking at a fucking crocodile

I’m thinking the same thing with the spear, do the darker blue of guardian spears (not like this watchmaster, I wanted bright GK blue) with white or NL type highlights. I’m glad to hear the gold doesn’t look terrible, bananas have a very fine line between sexy and gaudy and I’m careful to try not to cross it

If he's so best then how come he couldnt break Terra while outnumbering the defenders 3:1?

Hmmm... why couldn't the "good guys" lose... Hmmm... Hmmm...

But chaos can't lose :^)

surely it's more like just getting "waiter" and "waitress" mixed up you big old drama queen

There, happy now?

If in the next game you play you roll 3s, only 3s, on every roll no matter what, what army would you use?

Nobody knows that "ma chéri" is the feminine form in historical bretonian proto language ? The knight should say "mon chérie", otherwise he is talking to a girl.

>custodes getting a full army and codex

Plastic sisters never.

space wolves dreadnought only list

stop it you'll make me reveal my power level

Multiple Chaos Lords supporting several Hellforged Leviathan Dreadnoughts all armed with butcher cannon arrays.

Deathwatch Space Marines w/Hellfire rounds. Lascannon Dreads. Librarian spam

So lads, 4 earth shaker batteries in a 1,000 point list.

Is it viable?

...

>play Orks
>never hit anything or make any save
>nothing changed

Of the armies available to me, I think I could make a workable Nidzilla list. Psychic stuff would be way easier too.

...

No Librarian?
I play Deathwatch, love my eversor

>3
>when you need 5+ to wound most vehicle/tough targets
I hope the dex gives custard troops access to S8, otherwise they’re going to rely a lot on a very small number of units. I wonder what Axe profiles will be, maybe S+3 but -1 to hit?

Either way custodes are looking surprisingly weak at cracking heavy targets right now

lol'd

What do Marines do in their spare time?
Do they drink?
Do they socialise?
I'm not that read-up on the lore so I have no idea what they do between constantly polishing their weapons and then using those weapons

That's why you bring lascannons on their landraiders.

Well if they bring over their forgeworld stuff then I'm sure they'll give them the melta they could attach to the spears, also the ven land raider has 3 twin lascannons and is BS 2+.I think the axe will be a power fist equivalent weapon.

they train, look after their equipment, eat, maybe sleep a little, but their day is always packed with stuff so their free time comes down to maybe a few hours a day if they're not in a warzone

I am taking that image.

Train
Meditate
Pray
Sometimes they feast before any grand battle

In general Marines dont "socialize".

They train to kill the Emperors enemies. Then they eat a hearty meal. Then train some more to kill the Emperors enemies with extreme prejudice. 4 hours of sleep. Rinse and repeat.

Leave Guilliman to me!.

of all the grimdark in the 40k universe, Marines not getting to feast and drink with their bros between battles is the grimdarkest of all

shut up space wolf, your mother fucked a canine because no man would touch her

Why feast and drink when you could powerfist a traitor instead?

That’s still a pitiful showing, you’re getting a handful of heavy shots at most. Right now it looks like the only really solid anti-vehicle custodes Stuff is;

>aquilon terminators with fist
>lascannon land raiders
>dreadnoughts of all flavors
>grav-attack speeder
>adrathis and bike shit
>shooty tank, calladius or whatever

With possible more in
>biker Bros with possible Sx2 or +3 melee
>missile launcher bikes
>axes giving S+2 or better

I doubt paragon spears and similar will make it to 40k, but the jist is most units should be able to deal with both chaff and heavier stuff decently or the whole army is going to flop very quickly. They’re okay now, don’t get me wrong- basic Bros do like 7 wounds Mathammer to T7 and above- but they’ll need a little more to be really dependable agaisnt the really monster and vehicle intense lists

Now that they’re getting their FW stuff finally, which means they should be swimming in solarite gauntlets

Well we know that what GW has shown off isn't everything they're getting so who knows.

It varies depending on chapter culture. Blood Angels paint and write poetry, Salamanders practice smithing.

Holy shit, looking back over the rules I forgot just how insanely broken custodes dreads were. Instead death and fucking SD on 6’s and they were AV13/14 with 4++. Jesus it’s mind boggling how much they killed balance

True, just depends on if people want to buy them. I know a lot of people (myself included) didn’t like how stocky and ungrateful the terminators turned out

I’d love to see what else they’re hiding. Grav-rhino when?

>stocky and ungrateful the terminators turned out
>stocky and ungrateful
>ungrateful

What

Think he might have meant ungainly.

>if people want to buy them.
Of course they are going to buy them. The entire reason they're getting an army is because the custodes models were selling so well to begin with. GW even said as much.

What are you anons working on?

I recently spent a crapton starting off a new army(GSC), so I'm tearing through it. I'm hoping to have everything built by wednesday.

So far I have:
>Goliath Rockgrinder(primed)
>Goliath Truck(unbuilt)
>genestealer purestrains x8(painted, based)
>genestealer purestrains x8(primed)
>genestealer purestrains x8(unbuilt)
>Broodcoven(primed)
>Acolytes x5(primed)
>Acolytes x5(unbuilt)
>Guard Neophytes x10(primed)
>Guard HWS(primed)
>Genestealer Neophytes x10(unbuilt)


What have you guys been working on lately?

Depends on the chapter, I think there was a Blood Angel successor that was into sculpture

Part of the purpose of Space Marines was that they would be able to co-exist with normal humans during peace time in a way that Thunder Warriors couldn't. Though it's probably more difficult given that there is "only war". That said Dark Imperium mentions Guilliman sending Primaris marines out to equerry for other chapters and imperial institutions so I guess he's trying to resurrect the idea

Ungrateful, my mistake. Maybe it’s not the right word, but something along the lines of they appear like they can move swift and unhindered even in terminator armor in the art, whereas the models don’t give that. I think the 40k ones do

Speculation is some sort of grav transport. I'd be fucking pissed if it was just "Cohort Ancient/Medicae" bullshit. Also Book 7 was just a dumpster fire, the only thing that wasn't utter shit was Space Wolves. Grenade launcher Sisters in ZM games are table flippingly infuriating.

Want to build semi trailers for my army. Was thinking Taurox's with wheels and replacing the transport area with munitorum containers. Not sure if this makes sense but has anyone seen this or anything like it done?

Painting a Pask Executioner and Colonel Staken.

ungraceful perhaps?

>Each time the bearer fights, it can make 1 additional attack with this weapon.
Does that mean a Chainsword is +1 attack in the first turn of combat? Or do you need to fight once before it kicks in?

Is there an official Forge World painting recipe for Krieg?

Jesus Christ fuck me. Yes, this is my punishment for Mobileposting.

Plasma gunners in Mk III armor for my Space Wolves. It'll be kinda strange playing 40k games with a Heresy army, but the new color scheme for Space Wolves is utter wolf shit.

I'm like 3/4s done with a converted sorcerer, after that is priming and painting some quad bolter rapiers and their crew

Working on my Flamestorm Aggressors

>What are you anons working on?

Building a Custodes squad.

Blackshields may be a free upgrade but you should reconsider your application of them, they are forced to move towards units that charge and that will really mess with your heavy weapons and dudes you want to keep out of melee like those frag-cannons and heavy-bolters

The joke is how sisters are trannies m8

Eldar

Kastelan robots
Converted Goliath truck from a ork trukk

I am thinking I might try making an open topped taurox if I was to do another truck. Save the actual kit for a rockgrinder. Also might make some nobs into aberrants. Big Choppa's are close enough to the power hammers.

>Smashfucker prime tribune
>adrathic “good bye elite armies” guns
>paragon spear+shield hetaeron
>fuck off deepstrike ability
>delet this biker gangs
>dreads that could one shot almost everything
>S fucking D on a spammable 250pt A 13/5++ dread
>all the unkillable storm shield shit
>this will all go to 40k
>and all the twin-linked shit will now have twice the shots
This is gonna hurt

Loads of plasma

I'd like to imagine that marines are excited to fight because they get to meet new people and fight with their best brothers.

This is already me, but then with 1s and 2s

This mother fucker right here.

Is it just me or do the minis not look like the art?

>custodes will be the new eldar and every obese neckbeard will have an army
>mfw just ordered an army of 30k talon vehicles
>mfw I will be grouped in with these people
cant wait for "Hey bro you mind if I proxy my 40k custoes for HH"

It's probably agravating for the other player if he owns any T8. But otherwise you're just firing a slow battle cannon

Guilliman and hammer terminators
