guys??

my dudes > your dudes

Tell me about /yourdudes/. Why are they so much cooler and better than GW's dudes?

...

Chaos Soup List - 1993pts, 12CP

Tzeentch Battalion - 246pts, 3CP
>2x Herald of Tzeentch - 156pts
>3x 10 Brimstone Horrors - 90pts

Nurgle Battalion - 320ptsc 3CP

>Magnus the Red - 415pts
>Mortarion - 475pts
>Khorne Lord of Skulls /w Gorestorm Cannon and Skullhurler - 534pts

I barely managed to put everything into 2k points. Nurgle is kinda expensive, with plaguebearers costing to much to take instead of Nurglings. On the other hand, i wanted two Battalions, and i wanted Nurgle Strats for D3 heal on Morty as well as Tzeentch Herald for casting Warp Gaze.

Interestingly enough, you can just take Chaos Daemons without committing for specific god if you don't care on using specific Strategems. So you could just take two Heralds from different gods for their spells and then take whatever units you like the most and see get Deepstrike Strategem.

13th for scan of new Fulgrim book.

>The Rat, Behind EVERY Mary Sue

Never played 8th, how is Slaanesh doing?
If I were to make a Brigade of Slaanesh- lots of noise, Cultists and Daemons.
Models are not an issue, purely interested in gameplay.
What units am I looking at to bring the noise?

Also are Indices still a thing? Want to get some mounted HQ but they didn't survive to the Codex.

Yes

Is it possible to make a decent Eldar army that

Needs more flamers.

Who could possibly like SoB when femcrons exist?

"The universe is a hologram. All knowledge is encoded within your DNA. The secret of magic is that anyone can do it." ~ Matt Ward

Guy from last thread wanting to start either Blood Angles/Deathwatch/Space wolves here.

Decided I want to do blood angles, specifically the successor chapter the Flesh Tearers because I like the face their leader has a MASSIVE chainsword and the RIP&TEAR aspect of them, where should I start wit them? Is the start collecting box good value for them?

Was looking through some old boxes and found the chaos half of the old dark vengeance box.

What should I do with these? I wouldn’t mind building out a chaos list, but the old models really don’t appeal to me and I haven’t heard good things about vanilla chaos marines.
I know doing anything with chaos is already dealing with the worst of the 40k community, but I have the models here and want to put them to actual tabletop use.

Are you intentionally making super trash list?

White Custodes best custodes.

the only army of My Dudes I ever had were my tau, before I knew anything about painting or colour theory. They were terrible and definitely not better than GW's dudes.

Does anyone else hate the Wraithlord model? I want to like it because I generally like the eldar aesthetic, the arm-weapons just look weird as shit to me

My dudes are the same as GW's dudes, but with actual acknowledgement of story progression. Yeah they're just plain ol', green ol' Cadian Shock, but with small bits of black on the uniform, and "CADIA STANDS" on every single tank and standard.

...

The white just looks cleaner.

how would you make it then, oh great smart one

How broad should highlights be?
I am painting necron praetorians and i have troble painting the leg armor plates
never did highlights only basecoat wash and drybrush
dont want to post a picture because i dont want to be bullied

possibly Biel-Tan MSU, dark reapers have always been great

interesting, i'll probably go mono slaanesh myself for a while. while slaanesh lost the option for mounted heralds they other gods kept them since they got new names

kinda hard to tell man

Make it fucking soup

That's how the 40k meta is

Start with a thicker highlight and then do an edge highlight with a brighter colour

Guardfags play. Drives chaoscucks nuts

Is it worth it in a guard army to take a squad of five tempests with five squads of infantry in a battalion?

Yours

Leave Chaos to me...

Well for starters you have multi meltas on foot
Using AM Crusaders instead of IG Crusaders
Seraphims with hand flamers... they are so bad that you are better off using bolt Pistols
Priest is triple wielding and the evicerator y hiting on 5+

>gets one shotted in a single turn because 5+ invul on a 400pts model that shoots on a 4+ and its best weapon profile only shoots d6 shots

Reposting because I didn't get anything other than a meme answer last thread.

>Nurgle is known for being ironically jolly despite being the Chaos God of spaceaids and death
>He loves his followers so much that his own greater daemons are basically miniNurgles, so that he can show people across the galaxy his love personally
>this is also reflected in most of his other daemons, Nurglings and Beasts of Nurgle, who are jolly little pusgnomes and big aids-filled puppies, respectively
>the exception is his Plaguebringers, who are grim and somber, and autistically count everything
>the main distinguishing feature between plaguebearers and other daemons of Nurgle, other than the above, is that Plaguebearers are daemons created from humans who succumbed to Nurgle's gifts


Can anyone out there with an English degree help me out?

I'm sure theres probably some deeper meaning to this, but I'm having trouble grasping it.

Can someone explain why this dichotomy exists, in a literary/metaphorical/storytelling sense?

What's the underlying point?

You're way too vague. No point level, no idea what else is in your list that could help your dudes, no idea what weapons they bring, no idea what you're facing in your local meta, etc.

That’s cause ur a fucking retard for buying into magic in the first place
40k May be expensive, but at least we’re not rebuying our armies all over again just to stay relevant (we only do that every decade or so)

>"It's awful user"
>Doesn't advise him on how to fix it

Well meme'd.

>buy a unit, some tools, basic paints and a couple brushes
>spend months finishing all of that
>buy another unit
>do same
>buy hq
>do same

chances are if you're playing a semi elite unit army you'll have enough for a 500 point game right there

I guess I’ll post my games then.
Enjoy.

The list is bad at the basics, you can’t work with that

What you gonna do?

>"for the price of a tank, I could buy 2 booster boxes of MtG cards."
Where do you live? Almost any FLGS has GW stuff at discount.
You could get 3 start collecting boxes for the price of 2 booster boxes. That's 3 vehicles, 30 troops and 3 HQ or Elite for most armies.
He'll, that's 3 Leman Russes, 30 guardsmen and 3 Commissars (which could be converted into other things).

Am I a Nazi yet?

>he's running multi meltas on foot
>there's 6 transports in the list

yeeeeeeah sure thing user

Use Inferno pistols instead of Hand Flamers.
Celestine should use the +1 attack on charge or 6+++ WT.
Don’t cop out for a Rhino. Get an Immolator if you can. Keep the 1 Rhino for your Crusaders.
Melta Retributors have to get into medium range to shoot, where they get murdered in a single turn by S4 shooting. Take Heavy Bolters instead.

The lootbox meme strikes again

Chaos can't take porphyrion knights in 40k though iirc

Is there anything in the rules that prevent you from unlocking god-specific strategems when you take a mixed daemon detachment?

most armies don't work like that - all you need is a Guard detachment, for example, to unlock all guard strategems. If you have a vostroyan unit in your mixed guard detachment, you can still use their strategem, even if you don't have a pure vostroyan detachment

Because they're untouchable. GW can't write them off with "LOLHIVEFLEET" and ruin them.

>ordering anything other than DKoKs from FW
Nope, you're not a nazi. You're cool.

>tfw got this sexy SC necrons box waiting to be cracked open and worked on but I have to finish my 1ks

I wish I had more hands so I could do both.

oh how the mighty have fallen, the former terror of 6th is now a waste of points in 8th

...

Currently trying to decide on /mydudes/ after participating in the wip SS and deciding to dabble in 40k again with the stuff I got.
My SS sent me some Dark + Eldar stuff and some Primaris + Guard, so I'm trying to decide between the themes

>Completely converted Eldar with a Exodite Colony, drawing from all the good stuff inspirations of Egypt, Celts and Hair Metal, DIY aspects and all
>Heavily knighted up Space Marines Fists or DA successors from Feudal System with equally knighted up Feudal Guard, every Guard tank gets heraldry and stuff
>Space Wolves Successors from Death World System, Vikinging it up heavily while downplaying the Woof aspect, Guard also going heavy on the manly men doing viking things theme

>hit the riptide
>pierce its armor
>suddenly a drone is in the way
>magic sword bounces off the shield generator

But they can use all knights

Well Cadia doesn't stand, so I think your dudes happen to be wrong, or simply just misinformed.

I only realised after I out the order through I forgot to get rhino doors for full waac

Depends, do you play Red Scorpions and/or Krieg?

What if Custodes Stratagems worked like Auras? Something like that would be great for Elite armies, like you have 3 Stratagems per generic HQ and each one affects units within 6" of that character.

Are those spikey pipes?
Are you fighting near a chaos refinery?

>flesh tearers

Enjoy your meme army that can't take any cool shit.

I think there might be a pattern here, guys.

Slaanesh is really solid, Noise Marines are one of the premier units in a very strong Codex. Not sure on the Daemons aspect, but they might come out with some good stuff - need to see the Codex in full to make any kind of judgment.

Indices are a thing insomuch as you can use them if there's no version of a given Datasheet published since - for example, Lords on Steeds or Bikes.

Does the ability to format your list properly go hand in hand with the ability to actually make a list and not have to ask for advice on here?

Why would you want IG crusaders over SoB Crusaders? They don't get a bonus for regiment and if you don't get codex or CA strategems unless you have a more specific detachment than Imperium.

the work of one who corsorts with beasts

>le very good meme XDXD
>>>>>leddit

Part of those pointy trees GW released as terrain before the end of 7th edition.

Ruler of the only Dynasty with enough fire power (the void dragon took 4 black stars to the face and just felt sleepy) to completely destroy a C'Tan for good.

The smug look is well deserved in my opinion.

Damn I want some crazy Necron tech that makes Primarks give pause!

>...time goes by... enter slave wars in the EoT

>can't beat him, drags him further into the warp
>his men follow to retrieve him, now pretty well-versed in daemonology
>end up trapped in the warp fighting the great game

they are necrons which means they are automatically irrelevant and extremely weak, so there's no point in doing anything for them, it doesn't matter what the fluff says about them, gw has decided xenos are weak and irrelevant sadly

company tries to make more money, more news at 11.

...

Was going to criticize the hair but I guess most if not all Egypt's rules (men and women) shaved their head and wore fancy wigs when they wanted.

>Still hate they turned them into space Tomb Kings

Slaanesh Daemons are pathetic. Each of their units is just a pale comparison of another god's units.
Daemonettes -> shittier bloodletters
Seekers -> Shittier screamers
Keeper of Secrets -> Shittier Bloodthirster
Fiends - Shittier spawn
Chariots - just kidding, these aren't actually a unit, just a joke on the GW website

IG Crusaders have their on AoF rule and you can buy a cheap Psyker for buffs

Even throw them in a chimera or Valkyria
