Warhammer 40000 General /40kg/

Primaris lineup is finished m8, we'll be lucky to see more

Ok THAT one cheered me up! Fugg :DD

Stop this. She is NOT promiscuous, she is a symbol of hope.

>this is what marinelet player actually believe

GW seems to intentionally deny Primaris marines a dedicated melee unit as one of their unfilled niches that prevent them from outright obsoleting classic marines/ We'll see if that changes.

...

when you think about it so are tits, they provide the milk that nourishes children and therefore provide hope for the future.

>literally autistic waifufag is asspained about a meme
Just go tell mommy what happened maybe she will let you sleep on her floor tonight

*blocks your path*

Why not do some kind of Blackshields which had previously been Warp exposed due to reasons. Expendable, already been exposed to the horrors of the Empyrean (and therefore immune in a way ... or rather preselected for those with higher resistance) ... and perfectly within the reach of an Inquisitor radical enough to consider such a madness! For them it is a way towards redemption for perceived failings and for the Inquisitor they are handy tools... and some hidden taint in one of them may be a perfect liability which may wreak havoc at the most unopportune moment.

>Primaris lineup is finished

HAHAHAHA no

First of all they are marines and they always get something, second its a new range and GW will happily make more of it in due time and third Space Wolves, being the studio's favorite chapter for whatever reason, will most likely get new miniatures when their codex arrives which can easily mean more generic Primaris, a Lieutenant and a conversion pack.

Don't be rude

>2018
>people still confusing 30k blackshields with 40k deathwatch blackshields

>best art
does fan art count?

...which would be?

...

Yeah, I’m not sure what he’s saying either. HH black shields are totally different shit

>starcraft terran battlecruisers

...

They've been really meh whenever I've played against them. They either drop in and kinda kill one unit or drop in and do nothing. In both cases they're dead by the end of my next shooting phase.

Not truly a conversion imho but I do like the story it is conveying...

organised groups of blackshields like you suggested are a 30k thing, they don't exist in 40k.

The only 40k balckshields are the individuals who join the deathwatch

Me neither ... I mean they are all pariahs who are looking for some kind of redemption mostly (except maybe the 'other' Reaver-style Blackshields in 30k, those might be considered Renegades in 40k).

What are you painting in celebration?

...

You can never run,
you poor Xenos Scum,
From the Auspex
of Notre Dame!

Where did you find that and how can I make one for my urban board?

...

...

is 60 boyz enough for a 2000 pt list? I'm trying to avoid boyzspam/ green tide but I know every list needs a chunk of boyz in the center of it.

I now need a map with a train running through it.

ugh

True. Depending on what his story requires it really would be the question of how many Blackshields the Inquisitor tries to recruit. Was thinking maybe a squad of Marines who somehow failed their Chapter and now have the choice to be branded renegades or to take the black and join the big shot with the rosette on his suicide mission. Said failing should be something too horrendous (Warp related corruption) that even Deathwatch would be out of the question... dunno if this makes sense but might be an unconventional start for a story at least.

Pic unrelated but I like it.

Not if you want to win.
90 boyz with BC nobz, supported by ghazzy and a waagh banner, that's a solid core. 60 is just below that threshold, where the opponent can probably really take the sting out in one good turn of shooting.

I can imagine this being a mobile objective

I’d say 90 is a fair number at 2k without it being too spammy
Remember, orks are swarmy pretty much by default

Well I think what he’s saying is the inquisitor gets a team of individual blackshields, which I (OP story) find interesting but also a little too OC for my tastes. I’m not talented enough to write a traitor world eater that turned loyalist and is now feeling the pull of the warp again, I just want a small team of guys going full badass while you learn how they got there

I like this idea lot more, was thinking 5-6 Marines, the inquisitor, his/her bodyguard, and the inquisitorial retinue. 12 guys in total for a blackstar, plus the techmarine pilot.

Maybe some dudes from a corrupted chapter that were tricked into seeing friends as enemies, they’re still good but did terrible things in the process and were sent away as a result. Then also bring 2-3 regular marines and maybe a leader (chaplain?) or just them and the chaplain. Y/N?

I picked up 40K last weekend with the Tau starter box. As I understand it, Tau want to stay back and shoot from long distance. So is there any reason I would want to build my Fire Warriors with pulse carbines or pulse blasters over pulse rifles?

And is there a particular weapon configuration for the Crisis battlesuits that is stronger?

Ah! This. This is cute.

What is the undisputed best Dreadnought model?

If you don't want to do a twist, we really need to give a shit about the characters. So decide on what kind of people you want to write about or need for interpersonal drama and banter and pick marines from there. You can always make up your own chapter(s) but if you want to bank this idea to sell later, pick at least a couple from the big boys.
If you want to do a twist, it depends on your no-meme writing skill. If you're a basic bitch, just have the Inquisitor be a shady cunt and betray your heroes and have them fight their way out and complete the mission.
If you're actually a skilled and inventive bastard, go wild, but make it cool. Always rule of cool.

Carbines and blasters are for breachers, they can charge in on a devilfish to try and take objectives, smashing whoever they meet trying to do the same thing with some meaty Assault firepower

jesus what is this thing

...

I'm looking for names that could fit a Krieg Baneblade. Something that would be in line with their martyrdom culture, their eternal quest for atonement.
Currently, I'm tempted of simply naming it "Penance".

There's someone making Eldar using AoS tree people thing parts. It looks pretty cool.

Can anyone with any experience with painting custodes tell me how they painted the bottom of the leather gauntlets? I can't tell if the straps are going over leather or the metal armour. There are also buckled up bits that don't have any straps even attached to them.

>tricked into seeing friends as enemies

I like that! Btw might be an expectable but nice twist if their delusions were about to return when encountering the pressures of the Warp again on the Crone World ... oh damn maybe I steal the idea for my RP group, hope you don't mind ...

...

S A U C E

You might want to stay back, but some enemies will manage to get right in front of you very quickly. Having some short range firepower never hurts.

Btw take the leader in, he might be the perfet 'weak link' ... loyal and honest in his longing for redemption but deeply flawed and with a fractured mind.

>that """arm"""
>that stump of a gun
grey cucks lmao

Does taking a Knight with Admech automatically make you That Guy?

The only reason to buy fire warriors is to convert them into old style stealth suits.

Unless you're one of those "combined arms" plebs who doesn't want to run a wall of mechas?

Leviathan

...

if you've got time to sit around naming your tanks you could use that time dying for the sins of your forefathers.
Bad kriegers, bad!

That super tson contemptor is pretty much sex if you're a fan of the tson aesthetic

It's more fluffy than most soup.

Use the 360 images and look at the gauntlets

FW ones

This baby here?

Nope. Knights aren't super cost-effective. They're awesome models though.

I dunno. Strength five 30 inch range isn't bad in this meta of t3 blobs. I'm surprised we don't see more of it. Are fire warriors expensive pointwise? Seem decent with a fire blade.

Not that I see many Tau at the shop since 8th

But that’s fake. His las tweet was on Christmas.

>low quality bait

Tau have been slowly moving away from long-distance, you're going to want to play medium-distance, but mobile. Most of your weapons are medium range, or most effective at medium range, pulse rifles are most effective around 15", plasma guns at 12", fusion blasters at 9", etc, it's only really artillery that'll consistently outrange your opponent this edition. Pulse carbines and blasters are much more effective for staying mobile and getting in close to the enemy to deal devastating close-range volleys, while rifles are great for hanging back and plinking away at enemies while sitting on an objective, and rapid-firing into anything that comes uncomfortably close.
Never glue the guns onto the crisis suits unless you know exactly what you're doing,, and you don't because we're getting a codex in march. Plasma is generally good at close range medium infantry killing, fusion at close range heavy vehicle killing, burst at medium range light infantry killing, flamers at close range infantry killing of all sorts, and missiles at long range heavy infantry/light vehicle killing.

BS4+ sucks balls

I really really like that conversion.

Seconding what that other user said. I would probably give it a 3 to 5 digit ID number and leave it as that.

Fan of Daemonifuge are we?

wow battle fleet gothic got the tone right at least

2/2

It's a solid game

>Not going for the 40k equivalent of an ashigaru musket gunline

Another Tau crying about BS 4+

Flamers automatically hit, but you can still *roll* to-hit for them, right? I could theoretically generate 6s on flamers for something like Dakka Dakka Dakka, right?

>mfw you know it's not going to improve in the codex because GW has no concept of synergy, or cause and effect
>mfw they're going to try to excuse it with a 1cp +1 ballistic skill for this unit for this phase stratagem

I like these ideas, get some *not*PTSD going on for some sweet sweet Rambo moments. Also might wanna drop the name friend

Oh man, I'm gonna have fun eating you up. Make sure you turn around so we won't see you cry.

no, because you could also roll a 1 which is a failure to hit

>youtube.com/watch?v=piBhBMrDAVA
got solid chills. The ships aesthetics are so great. And not to mention that we'd be getting a sequel to the gathering storms

I mean, there’s no rule against it I guess. But it’s retarded and you shouldn’t do it

I'm glad that 40k novels are on the same level as peepee poopoo /r9k/ memers

If BS4 were the problem, then astra militarum would be shit

not enough guns
