Wholesome edition. Include something nice about the user above you or their post in your posts/replies

I love you too, Earl the Boxnought.

>tfw /yourdudes/ are just gw dudes because you love the fluff

Has anyone actually used scryerskull to shoot with a unit?

I might pick up admech just to use this rule during deployment and see the ass mad neckbeards faces.

Is that like some terracotta warrior type shit? If so, neat.

Welcome to Ironclads. Replace the hurricane bolter with a close combat weapon and destroy most anything in the game in close combat.

Earl looks like a bro.

What is the pyrovore/mandrake of 8th?

>Play orks and Harlequins
>Theyll be the very last 2 codexes
>theyll probably be mediocre

fuck me

Re grenades:

You people are absolute morons.

Step 1 of the shooting phase:
>In your Shooting phase you can shoot with models armed with ranged weapons.

Grenades a ranged weapons by virtue of being included in the ranged weapon list. If a unit has a single grenade and nothing else, it can be chosen to shoot with.

Now proceed to the grenade rules:
>Each time a unit shoots, a single model in the unit that is equipped with Grenades may throw one instead of firing any other weapon.

What does a unit shooting mean? It means it was chosen to shoot in the shoot phase, and as already established you can choose a unit to shoot if it has any ranged weapon (including a grenade) at all.

Ergo: a unit with only grenades can be chosen to shoot its grenades in the shoot phase.

YOU ARE FREE TO ENJOY THE HOBBY HOWEVER YOU SEE FIT

They entire Grey Knights codex.

Tell Earl I love him as well.

Death Jesters and Shokk Attack Guns

Loyalists can stick hurricane bolters on their dreads?

Orks are probably getting actual model updates and cool shit, though, which is why they're being delayed so much longer.

>be highly trained melee specialist
>equipped with grenades to cover the assault
>begin my charge
>forgot my gun at home, now I've forgotten how to throw grenades

Ironclads, for when you need to teach people how melee is done.

BECAUSE THEY LOVE EVERY CITIZEN OF THE IMPERIUM AND AREN'T AFRAID TO DIE FOR THEM
AND THEY DO DIE. THEY DIE IN NUMBERS THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE.
but that doesn't stop them

Exactly this.

Necrons, Grey Knights, and AdMech codices.

Necrons.

>Ring of optimism

>AdMech
Are you fucking retarded

You have been visited by earl the boxnaught who loves you. You will be blessed with majestic boxes and big dakka but ONLY if you post "I LOVE YOU TOO EARL"

Only on Ironclad Dreads.

>what are GMNDK
>what are strikes
Quit whining GKfag

I don't play Orks or give a shit about Orks so it's not optimism on my part. Just calling what I see. They're the most likely Xenos race to get a big update this year, probably coinciding with the Armageddon campaign which will also coincide with the World Eaters/plastic Berzerkers/Angron update.

AdMech isn't that strong, but it's not that weak either.

how are the clowns anyway? I was thinking of picking some up soon.

Yup. Which is what common sense dictates. And as GW's 8th ed. FAQs have dictated over and over the common sense interpretation is almost always the correct one.

>Introducing the Dakkablast Shootajet
>An upgrade to the wazbom Blastajet
>only $90 usd!!

If you think GK isnt bottom 2, you are plain retarded.

Did a GK army buttblast your soup?

Assault Marines? They've been ass pretty much forever though. Hm.

Skyrays?

>GMNDK
Literally hasn't done anything of importance.
>Massed stormbolter shots and s4 attacks
Sure is worth those 210 points per squad of 10.

RAW exploits, by tradition, mandate an excision of common sense from the interpretation.

Kinda weak. They have some nice stuff, but 8th ed. isn't very friendly to a super elite index army.

Literal samefags.

>be Space Wolves squad without helmets
>peak out cover
>get headshot

ok if you use lots of craftworld support

>be genestealer cult fan in 7th edition
>absolutely love that they can have super reliable deep strike and charging compared to everyone else, but pay for it with unit quality
>super fun games
>8th edition hits
>every faction in the game now has some form of guaranteed deep strike, and most have some form of guaranteed charge shenanigans.
>except GSC. Now gsc have worse units than everyone, and worse deep striking than everyone.

Just fuck my shit up.

Nah I'm thinking it's new Warbuggies/Wartraks and maybe they finally release the new Deffkopta kit separately. Then some weirdo thing out of left field, and a bunch of articles about how you should totally spend all this money on Age of Sigmar Ironjawz or whatever they're called to kitbash your Boyz so they look bigger.

My soup is doing just fine, just really tired of constant GK whining when you can play soup and do fine as well.

Does not make him wrong.

Alright, I respect the logic. Obviously GW is bound by no such rules as what would make sense, and is more likely than not to kick off an Armageddon campaign with primaris releases.

Will they ever sell Yvraine on her own?

Why would orks get a big release when literally none of the other codexes did?

Literally a brainlet that doesn't even play the game.

yes, they are breaking up all those hq boxes

>grenades in melee
this changes things

Blood Angels can actually make pretty good use of Assault marines. a five dude squad with a Plasma Pistol and two Plasma Guns are reasonably effective.

They have an easier time charging from Deep Strike half the time, and they have it on every single unit in their army.

The main thing that fucked them was getting a bunch of weapons nerfed and points increased for no discernible reason.

That picture will never be ok because no feet.

That's the point. We don't want to play fucking soup. Why was it okay for CSMfags, Orkfags, and even Guardfags to whine in 7th and not GK? Gk have been shit 2 codexes now with nothing to make up for it.

No, she'll have her Grynx with her.

>melee specialist holding melee weapons
>grows two extra arms to throw a grenade

Yeah this logic makes more sense amirite?

real talk.

how should I paint my ulthwe rangers to not just be pure black with white guns?

Not at all. Only pistol ranged weapons can be fired in melee without special rules like SW with their bolters.

7th was a dumpster fire edition in general. I don't know what sort of idiot actually played it for more than 2 games and thought it was good enough to continue.

By being able to fire a pistol, you are able to throw a grenade.

*blocks your path*

Idiot
Just hit the grenade like a baseball with the weapon

BA are kinda the assault marine army though. And normal assault Marines can't take plasma guns afaik- at that point they're just more expensive fast tactical Marines.

>melee specialist throwing grenades: unbelieveable
>jetbike riders flying around at 100+mph flying with 1 hand and aiming multiple ranged weapons with the other before crashing into combat : believeable

user, the rumored release is in December and all codexes will be done by July, GW wants to move away from having to release a codex AND miniatures, after everyone's updated GW can just release miniatures, thats their plan according to one of their financial reviews.

>walks beneath the bow and stands there as it can no longer target me

>worse deep striking than everyone
Not eactly true. For one you can do it with almost any unit of your choice. Some armies can do that with stratagems, but most cannot. And although it can be worse than standard it can also be a lot better. And you have multiple ways to manipulate ambush rolls in your favor.

I am so tired of idiots like you baiting with these posts. What are you trying to accomplish?

Medium brown tends to be a popular tertiary for ulthwe colour schemes, also are you actually going white guns or do you mean ivory.

Yes but I used it as an interrupt in my opponents shooting phase with plasmaphrons coupled with this strat
>Because opponents shooting phase is still the shooting phase

*charges into melee*

god damn I want Harlequin wraithlords and a named character

Do Harlequins even have a named character in fluff?

I missed the last couple threads. What is all this bitching about who can and cannot throw grenades.

On the same topic, I'm kit bashing some farseers and wych tits to make something like a maid. what colors should I go for? everything else is primary blue, secondary yellow, and tertiary orange white white for weapons. (pretty much alaitoc but with orange instead of red and a bit of white.) So I'm wondering if I should keep the same color scheme only placed differently, or do something that looks similar but uses more black and white.

Because they're being pushed to the back end of the Codex release schedule where GW actually has time to do stuff for them, unlike most of the other Codexes which were released faster than the model studio has time to make new stuff, so 8th can catch everyone up? Also because there have been hints for awhile - Armageddon being the first big campaign book of 8th, there was a new Ork Warbuggy thing designed by one of the modelers for some mobile racing game which could suggest they're working on a plastic version of the same design considering it's an ancient model from 2nd edition, they might want to port over some Orruk stuff from AoS, etc.

If Orks weren't getting new stuff their position in the Codex queue should have been higher up based on the time they were released in 7th. Most other old Codexes followed that pattern - see Tyranids and Guard for example.

>use maglocks to put your weapon away
>throw a grenade
>take up your melee weapon again
Is it really illogical?

They really don't, considering I can as
>tau: deep strike directly into combat (useful with drones to force a fall back)
>chaos: deep strike then warp time or just alpha legion
>SM: raven guard
>GK I think they have a warp time equivalent IIRC, not sure though
>Nids: kraken/swarmlord slingshots.
>IG: Valkiries trivialize first turn charges
>necrons: one of the named characters can slingshot and I think with invasion beams you can get a first turn charge reliably
>sisters of battle: acts of faith make it pretty easy.

and on and on and on. I'd trade the reliability over the randomness any day of the week.

very believable m8.

my autarch can do that with a free piece of wargear lol

Tournaments play with this rule, whats your agenda?

woops, meant to add that I'm using Yvraines head

Harlequins don't have any wraith constructs in fluff. They don't have Spirit Stones to put into them.

>Armageddon being the first big campaign book of 8th, there was a new Ork Warbuggy thing designed by one of the modelers for some mobile racing game
Is there a source for any of this?

>AdMech
Shit nigga are you retarded?

>Isn't that strong
Tell that to my 756 S6 AP-2 shots from one unit in a turn

And where is this maglock wargear in the book?

You literally can't shoot with your units by using scyerskull. Anyone reading it will calmly explain to you that it only affects receiving penalties while shooting.

>Army of anonymous suicide clowns
>except the one guy who everyone knows about

Both were announced on the community site ages and ages ago. Armageddon we've known about since before 8th even launched and has been mentioned a couple times since.

Okay, discussion time. Everyone knows eldar are overpowered. What units should you stay away from if you don't want to WAAC? It's not that I don't want to win, it's that I don't want to use 3 MSU reapers.

Does he have a Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield?

Don't use Reapers or Shining Spears. Don't play Ynnari at all.

Provide any proof that a tournament allow you to use grenades in melee like a pistol considering they are different weapon profiles.

shit i posted in the wrong thread.
Bothering DOUBLE THE PEOPLE :
Death Korps of Krieg aren't allowed to use non Forgeworld Leman Russ, right ? i read it on 1d4chan.
