Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

Is this too Dork Eldar for a Ynarri Shining Spear? I just hate the old model so much

>elves
>not running 30 dark reapers and 3 different army detachment
It's like you don't like winning

I've done that! I'm salamanders and I forget all the time!

Do we have any mono-custodes batreps? I need to know if guards are mediocre at best for real and if termies are as shit as anons tend to claim. Also codex errata in two weeks, right?

I have the post number copied onto my clipboard but I think you deserve to be bullied some before I give it to you

There's a mono custard vs Necron battle report in the new white dwarf, 3,500 points per side.

More sexy snake girls when?

Either because the codex is fresh, or the army is being played by a retard.
Probably both

I've played a couple games. The Terminators are decidedly meh, and I had a lot of fun with the army.

Shining spears should look like jousters imo. Like a bunch of jetbikes with laser lances all line up is what makes them cool.

>tfw only see soup everywhere
>even if this guy plays pure Dark Eldar, all I see is soup

Why are you at the soup store?

His Primarch book made me feel a little bit bad for him, but then again he is just too fucking autistic

Because the GW is the only LGS in my area.

Looks fine to me. Ynnari are supposed to be edgy eldar but not quite deldar, right? I'd be fine playing against an army of conversions like that

>Terminators are decidedly meh, and I had a lot of fun with the army
Mind to share your list? Also what were you playing against? How were guards doing? I want to stick mainly with 1000pts and 1500pts games

>this model had an auto kill, which we replaced with a single mortal wound

T-thanks

What should the last color in a Iron Warriors Scheme be?

Dark Leadbelcher for the armor.

Yellow/Black Hazard stripes.

Gold trim.

??? Cloth.

The mould lines on those arms are atrocious

What are Flesh Gauntlets rolling 6’s.

>dream about Kabals, Wych Cults and Coven getting their own codexes
>wake up

It's almost as if the model isn't finished or something.

Some black or dark red details and squad markings

user, I believe we’re getting our own traits for each.

Dark blue or dark green.

What do the Guardsmen of the Sol System look like?

>the dudes whose entire name revolved around that one weapon in the squad
>now they're just the 1/6 mortal wound chance dudes

Death has come for you.

Dark brown cloth

...

black cloth seems like the obvious choice, black washed and then highlighted dark grey, but I think a super dark crimson would look wicked

In 30k there was the Solar Auxilia, but we don't know anything about them in 40k

God Emperor I fucking wish they would bring back Pariah's for the necrons. If they did I might consider getting back into the necrons after what they did to their lore in 5th edition.

Mostly asking because people keep talking about running guard with Custodes, and I'm wondering if anyone is actually bothering to use Terran guard that'd realistically work with custards on a permanent basis.

Yeah...but there was still an appeal in having your sergeants be unit champions too.

The real thing I enjoyed about Tank Shock was being able to reposition enemy units. Bunch them into "flamerbait" formation, push them away from auras, fuck up their formation so they couldn't optimally pile-in without messing up their coherency.

Incidentally, was making pile-in optional strictly necessary? It was possible to win otherwise-unwinnable objective fights via "force-kiting".

...

It depends on the regiment.

One is white and gold, one is red/black, etc.

Why put the stairs at the front?

I kind of want to use some of my imperial guard with my space marines army. I don't want to spam, just maybe a couple veteran squads to serve as additional objective holders/screening force. Is that is good idea? I've got about 80 lasgun dudes and a whole bunch of special and heavy weapons teams that I'm not using in addition to a sizable parking lot. Idea is to fluff them as mortal forces raised like how ultramarines or space wolves (and probably a lot more chapters) do.

Pariahs coming back in the Necron codex with a plastic kit would get me so hard. The release could just be codex, Cryptek and pariahs and would be great. Give them the SoS abilities and a warcythe. Done.

...Actually yeah some Fists allied to Custards would be pretty cool. Golden boys and the yellow boys who can't afford gold armour.

>It is notable that while the Space Marine
Legions battled furiously against one
another – and the Imperial Army and
Mechanicum tore themselves to shreds
with internecine conflict – the Legio
Custodes were strangely absent for much
of the fighting. The few records that survive
from that dark time provide only hints as
to why that might have been, alluding to
the existence of another, terrible war that
took place beyond the sight of the wider
Imperium, one that only the Adeptus
Custodes had any chance of winning.

Falonius! Fetch my finest codpiece!

Why not?

The War in the Webway

I've got about 1k from tax return to throw on warhammer. I play SW, what get?

They fought in the Webway against daemons and other nightmarish shit like enslavers. The Golden Throne was originally an imperial Webway portal.

What's confusing about this they were in the webway fixing the nothing wrong that Magnus did.

Do you have the flyer that looks like a giant wolf head? Get one of those, they look pretty neat.

They were filing their tax returns.

All that gold ain't cheap.

Weren't they fighting to stem the tide of demons and such trying to pour out of the broken Fenway portal on terra or something? I remember hearing something about that going on after Magnus screwed the grox trying to talk to Big E

A rope you fucking furfag

Where can I read about them fighting enslavers? I knew about them fighting daemons in the webway but not them

Rival army - "oh shit their leader is riding some sort of war machine, she'll be impossible to get to.... Wait there is a staircase. Fuck it, charge"

Are raptors any good at all? It just seems like Warp Talons are the better choice.

Yes, and as many termies and infantry that I'll ever need

What is their endgame?

>mfw the local furry plays Imperial Fists and I play IW

>your non melee focussed armies stabby dudes suck
>every time

I just want some melee fun.

Maybe she wants to get down though? Druchii are physical kinda folk.

The problem is that Alpha Legion Khorne Berzerkers make both fairly redundant.

Expose boob?
The fuck? I though GW was nothing but soybois

Either dreadnoughts or predators.
They should serve you well

On that note, what space marines would make good support for custards? Some shooty boys for anti-horde and ranged anti-vehicle I assume?

depends on what you are using them for. If you need fast movers to capture objectives and tie up shooting squads, then yes. If you dont need that or dont plan on squeezing it into your lists, then no.

>tfw I've got at least 12 dreads
predators it is

>w2s are legally supposed to arrive within a day
>got a message saying they put them in the mail box today

Guess I got a free 100 for the delay.

Don't buy the memes just because sjw's are trying to make things more pc doesn't mean GW will start catering to them and piss off their base, because GW already has plenty of other ways to piss off their base without the help of sjw's.

If I recall correctly, Warp Talons are too costly compared to Raptors, and with little to gain for it

Cheaper, can take meltas and have -1 ld, which can be useful against some armies

Appearing as barbarians in Civilization : 40k

>forget I have grenades every single time

Anyone else do this?
I borrowed my friends tau army and I saw the grenades were rediculously useful.

How would you fix deathwatch TG?

Can you throw them and shoot? I always forget

>remove one of the steps
>suddenly invincible

I would love to see a rule for this thing only allowing one model to attack it with melee at a time.

Seconding this

cheaper, or a special rule that lets them go in an army without interfering with getting chapter tactics

Only one model can use grenades.
Again another reason msu is best.

Eh, I'd rather not pigeon hole myself into Alpha Legion, I usually run Renegade or Black Legion.
Cultists are far more effective for taking objectives, paying that much for jump pack dudes who will mostly stay put is a waste I M O.
True, Talons however do get the Overwatch resistance, which has saved my ass on quite a few occasions, the Meltas are certainly a boon though.

what dudes

squatting

1 of your guys forgoes shooting to throw the grenade. so in a squad of 10 troops, 1 can throw the grenade while the other 9 shoot.

How do I play CD soup?

Seems alright if I'm in range to throw a krak grenade in someone's face.

You run Tzeentch Brigade and one Nurgle Herald to spam -1T spell.

Eldar. They have a surprising amount of melee focuss specialists but basically 3/4 of them are just mediocre. And the good melee dudes are extremely expensive and not really suitable for anything but tank busting... which is useless with all the anti tank we have.

I hate the whole "well they suck, but they're really good for tarpitting"

>I'd fuck Fulgrim no homo edition

If all his artwork made him look like that, I'd consider it.

If you are using primaris, it only cost 1 point to attach an auxillary grenade launcher, allowing you to shoot one of those grenades up to like 30". So yeah, being able to lob a frag/krak grenade out to 30" in every 5 man squad is really good.

Imperial fists
>Whirlwinds, Thunderfire cannons, and shooty dreads

Using power level, some units get a little cheaper as a large mob. Like a troop choice that is PL3 with 10 models might be PL5 with 20, but I haven't bothered to examine their points, so I'm guess it's still shit in matched play.

Orks and mob armies need a rule that lets multiple models in a unit fire grenades.

What I don't get is why a model can fire 3 guns, OR one pistol.

>Using power level,
Typically people don't use that user.
Points is far more balanced.
