Does anyone have the daemons codex yet and is willing to share??

I am reading up on Ultramarine fluff. It says that Cato Sicarius is described as a political animal by his peers. What does that mean?
Christian Watson
I love the idea of using psychic powers to wreak havoc. How do I into mind bullets? Are Thousand Sons or Grey Knights a good option? I hear they're not very good in 8th.
Luis Evans
I've got one, I don't own a scanner and I think someone already did a megaupload anyway, I didn't think to save a link but I could answer questions until someone drops it if you like?
Xavier Miller
Hey can you guys help with colors? I’m not sure what to paint the bands and faceplate of this dude, what do you guys think?
Dominic Robinson
>for fun sub-edition
Thomas Clark
can someone explain to me the strategic point of pheromone trails? It seems like it's objectively a waste of a command point in all situations, because it doesn't allow you to do anything that the deep strike rules it is altering wouldn't already allow you to do.
What gives?
Logan Howard
You have to love it when the magic talking screwdrivers and hammers the Emperor created start thinking they're people. Back to your bickering with the rest of the tool box, number 7.

i remember seeing that the current index thousand sons have the ability to take the psychic powers from the chaos space marine codex, cant find it in a FAQ now though. someone remember where it was written?
Zachary Ramirez
Feels bad. I thought they were doing better in 8th even if their only option is mass boys in green tide style forces.
Nolan Diaz
yeah after the nids take a squat and shit them out

Hurts... but I love the buggers. Shame it takes me so long to paint any. That's the biggest chore, the painting.

Connor Rogers
Is this guy worth it to team up with a destroyer squad or would a Cryptek be better?
Levi James
I think literally never winning has broken one of my friends. After getting trashed for the hundredth time by the cockiest guy in our group he's begun asking me what armies are the most competitive so that he can kick that guy's ass. It saddens me that his love of Orks is deteriorating in the face of constant defeat. It was a nice spark of life in a group primarily composed of tryhards and WAACfags.

There’s a trick to it, it’s called owning two armies. I mean, what are the chances both are shit?
Jaxon Martinez
So are dred mob orks decent at least?
Jace Howard
I miss the days of buying Custodes squads for 25$ when nobody cared about them.
James Flores
tell that to the guys who own GK, Orks and DW
>tfw I know one
Luis Gutierrez
I knew a guy who owned Orks and Nids in 7th. I'm surprised he's still alive.
Zachary Hall
No, not at all.
The only viable competitive Ork list is boyz spam with weirdboyz, at least until the upcoming smite nerf.
Luis Garcia
Nids are top tier right now, he should be happy.
Joseph Long
I don't think they are LVO tournament viable. They could probably get something done. Could be better with the codex. I feel like they are slightly over costed and slowing with ork shooting
Jaxon Stewart
>More -1 to hit
Orks at this point need to get a rule that says they're unaffected by negative shooting modifiers. There is simply no way to balance this for the army.
Andrew Nguyen
Now, sure. In 7th you were much more likely to win a game if you used them as chess pieces.
Luke Taylor
wasnt about owning 2 armys (and it doesnt matter i own 8 Factions) it was written in the rules somewhere.
Cooper White
Anyone know an easy method to make beserkers bigger that looks good. Seen a lot of people use blood warriors but I Dont like the leather boots. My friend has offered to give me 10 world eater rampager legs, are they any bigger than normal beserkers legs?
Thanks boys
Jace Gomez
Sadly no. I run them anyway but they get thrashed pretty hard. 5+ kff save is not enough vs lascannons and god forbid something remotely scary gets the charge on you first.
Nathan Thompson
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but here is a new short uploaded a few days ago featuring the Blood Angels youtube.com/watch?v=6kihIexKXJA

Levi Martinez
I took a full Dread Mob to a tournament back in October. Morkanaut, Gorkanaut, Meka-Dread, 6 Kans, Battlewagon with Rolla, 2 Dreads. Played 4 games, got tabled every game, including against Dark Eldar when 90% of his army wounded me on 6's. Didn't play against Soup or Primarchs the whole day either; faced Sisters first up, then Crimson Fists, then Imperial Guard, and finally DE. I never stood a chance in any mission; Penitant Engines hard-counter the list, a Baneblade killed two Dreads and a Gorkanaut in Overwatch, heavy bolters are the bane of the whole army. It looks cool and is damn fast to play but you'll lose almost every time, I guarantee it.
Luis Harris
anyone got the link to the miniwargaming batrep with the turbo-neckbeard playing necrons with the soulless eyes and beard?
I don't mind losing, if the game was good and I just didn't get my ass handed to me.
Landon Gutierrez
Been too long since I had a chance to post this.
Michael Cox
Ouch... seeing those compared head to head hurts.
Matthew Sullivan
Shit...they are over pointed but, the SW dread is way underpointed.
Noah Nguyen
If you want to give him a good fight, take around 120 Boyz (not 180, that's too much) and a mix of other stuff from the codex. Don't take more than 1 Weirdboy. Honestly you could more or less just randomly select units from the rest of the codex and you'll have something that will give someone a good game, since all the power is concentrated in the Boyz.
Isaiah Campbell
>all this talk about orks being bad feels bad boss
Brody Bailey
FWIW, Weirdboyz will mind the nerf the least out of all cheap psykers considering they have huge native cast bonuses.
Ayden Russell
at least its not 7th!
Brandon Gray
Weirdboyz are actually pretty OK with the smite nerf.
James Cox
post your boys
Tyler Anderson
For real, fucking AdMech or Word Bearers or Iron Hands players calling Xenos NPCs is hilarious. At least the Xenos get a bone thrown their way every so often.
Robert Wood
What smite nerf?
Anthony Miller
I own Khorne Daemons, GK and I have an Imperial Knight list.
They're all terrible.
Lincoln Ward
How are Kannons? I've heard nabbing a very kannons are actually pretty good.
Blake Foster
Beta Rules posted on the GW community page.
For every ATTEMPTED Smite cast you reduce the next attempt to cast by 1 in a given psychic phase.
Benjamin Bennett
Currently an optional beta rule that hasn't been implemented officially but my store likes it. Each consecutive smite gives -1 to the psychic test to manifest smite whether or not the manifestation is successful.
Jonathan Evans
Kannons are very cheap, do D6 dmg, have decent range and you can't target the Grot Crew unless they're the closest enemy model. Basically they're some of the best backfield objective holders in the game. They will screw you over in Kill Points because each Kannon is worth 2 KP (gun and crew) but for 27 points they're absolutely worth it.
Dominic Perry
Deff dreads are overcosted and flimsy, kanz are alright but eat shit if anything anti tank is pointed at them, gorkanauts are good but will also inevitably fall to any dedicated anti tank fire, and a KFF 5++ doesn’t protect the mob as much as you’d like.
A gork or some kanz supporting an army could do well, but full dread mob is no beans.
Luke Peterson
Huh, that's not that bad for Orks at all. Hurts everyone else more than them. Now that I think about it I don't think I use smite with my weirdboy that much.
Julian Howard
Kannon and KMK spam is decent I think, they’re still super cheap for what they do and all it’s working parts are broken down in to individual units making it hard to kill.
Jonathan Russell
Are crushing claws worth it if I'm taking Tyrant Guard for a foot tyrant?
Foot tyrant is for fluff/style reasons more than optimisation and I like tyrant guard, want to make the most out of them.
Robert Jones
You should try casting it more, it's pretty damn easy to get off D6 mortal wounds with Weirdboyz thanks to nearby Boyz mobs buffing their psychic tests. They do tend to explode however, though you can always heal them up with a nearby Painboy.
KMKs are the best Mek Gun option we have. Cheap and very effective, if somewhat random.
Brayden Nelson
Anyone got some good conversion ideas for kannons? I imagine you could just get a pipe or something any mount it on a gun carriage, but that sounds boring.
Tyler Cook
I run Daemons and CSM and it doesn't hurt me too much either, I rarely run enough psykers to smite spam and I prefer using other powers unless smite is the only one that will do anything.
Carter Roberts
Lash whips might be a good idea, because then they can still fight even if they die, which is likely if the Tyrant is passing off wounds.
Nolan Turner
Really should be extended to apply to every psychic power, though.

James King

Ethan Perry
Check the mathhammer sheet in the mega -- if I'm not mistaken, I think Tyrant Guard are one of the only units where crushing claws are actually good thanks to the WS3+. Not optimal, but quite decent can openers.
Blake Evans
...
Brandon Flores
You can't cast the same power more than once other than smite in matched play so it wouldn't matter.
Blake Jenkins
>SC Elfdar or SC Dopesmoker colored/based Skitarii?
Yes
Thomas Murphy
IG heavy weapons team, take the autocannon and replace the barrel with the rocket launcher and do some work at the loader?
The old kannon they sell is so tiny compared to the mek guns I bet you it would be the same size.
William Gray
>mfw a venerable dread isn't even a good option
Justin Jackson
I'm working on it boss, I got about 40 more of these that are unpainted.
Jayden Walker
Venerable Dreadnoughts are solid. You basically pay an extra 20 points on top of the base cost for a Dread and get +1WS/BS and a 6+ FNP roll.
Grayson Turner
>ork players become bigger assholes than nids and ig combined the millisecond their codex drops >oi we haz it so bad
Jeremiah Martinez
No shit user
Eli Perez
Based as fuck
Josiah Fisher
Yeah, that's the idea. Making other powers be available to cast multiple times at stacking -1 penalty, add an "if failed/denied can't attempt again that phase". Bam, psychic powers are fun again.
Easton Walker
Man, I always feel like I made a mistake when painting my boyz after looking at other orks. I'm going for a Blood Axe dominated force, but atm the only things I've painted are some boyz, a trukk, and I've started on a battlewagon. The trukk and wagon have a camo pattern on them and I intend to keep doing that, but my boyz are very plain. Brown clothes, black leather straps and shoes, and leadbealcher on any metal. Look very plain compared to other boyz I see.
Isaiah Miller
You can always colorize leather. Like reddish or bluish browns. Get some mold contrasts going
