>Greetings brother!

>lost to 20 gold spray painted models in a 2000pts game

What is is about forge world fists that look so sexy?

Post your dreadnoughwaifu

Eldar player here. I absolutely love how these guys but I don't know much about them. How are they at the table? Can they be used alone in a pure Tempestus army or do they need help?

Also, lorewise, what is their life expectancy compared to a regular guard? I guess higher, but I don't know if they take many cassualties or are completely elite.

colored spray paint was a mistake.

show me on the army list where the golden boys touched you, user

This came in the mail yesterday. My plan is to paint it before the codex hits, if possible.
Crusaders are just a nice looking unit to compliment my IG.

I love the Salamanders contemptor dread so fucking much. I would happily make baby salamanders with it.

>losing
>to custodes
Sorry I don't play grey knights.

Are contemptor dreads the best pattern?

Can they? Not him but I doubt pure custodes can survive 20+ meltaguns at melta range turn 1

These pics converted me. I am fluffing my DE as masters of romantic cruelty. I just need a name
>Force their slaves to remain separate and isolated while all of the DE boys and girls run around smitten and cute
>Slaves are put towards solitary, menial labor to further drive home how miserable their lives are compared to the happy couples they see
>Leave open fake options for the slaves to commit suicide which will fail leaving the slaves even more depressed and giving the DE girls something to giggle at
>When the lose the will to live give them a perfectly matched QT
>Take the QT away forever after a week or two. Possibly to be made into new DE girl bikinis

desu to get the right level of depression and patheticness, I based the slaves on you

A Guardsmen to a Tempestus is what a riflemen is to a member of the SAS. They're not a an army in and of themselves, you'd have a detachment of them supporting someone else.

>losing to cucks
Bananas don't win games user

how did you get 20 meltaguns in melta range turn 1? that's very impressive. you must be a really good player.

Most people only play them as allies to IG but we have a madman in these threads that plays pure Tempestus.
It's also not unheard of pure Tempestus ranking in competitive play, but it is rather rare.

>counters exist
we got a genius over here fellas

>Custards winning at anything

Why is 2hu x 40k crossovers considered acceptable, when MLP/40k is totally taboo here?

yes =)

Kabal of the Bleeding Heart. Nothing more appropriate.

Yes, also word bearers truly have the most DOOM occult/scifi cyberdemon aesthetic. I wish they weren't such trash.

Kabal of the Katawa Shoujo

SoB. That is basic list building since 8th drop

Hardly a counter when it’s the only special weapon worth a damn for the army

>hey guys check out what I can do now that we're using computers

Pretty much, 2+, 5++, 6+++ with up to 2 different weapon arms and the option of a cyclone launcher. Deredeo's are decent too, but Leviathan's are really expensive points wise. Pretty much anything else is meh.

>SoB. That is basic list building since 8th drop
You just said the army, not how you did it.

Is it even possible for GW to get Malal, even with the name change? I'm not clued up on IP law but would the "black-and-white nihilistic outsider chaos god" be part of what's copyrighted?

Cause this is overall a weeaboo site, not a cartoon horse porn site.

Looks pretty good to me. Wish these dudes had rules in 40k.

I wish possessed were viable or that they'd give the Gal Vorbak rules.

Meltagun wielding Dominions and Repressors.
Effective melta range turn one is 36”+2D6”

>muh covered nipples to please SJW
>muh Slaanesh squatted to please his wife's sons
>muh lesbians in a shitty audiodrama to please feminists
So you guys want to tell me some creeps that learnt about this hobby yesterday are better customers than you? That's quite pathetic. I have a small playgroup in my town so I have never met real warhammer autists but this is hilarious

On the other hand it seems like those "sjw boogeymen" are 27 times better hobbists than average /40kg/ salty malcontent
>all models painted to show racial diversity
>all players brew up a background for their armies to highlight the story of cultural injustice and xenophobia
>tons of cool conversion job - every IG army has at least 50% female soldiers
>Slaanesh players are actually deviants
I, for one, welcome our new overlords

Malal, not unless they by the rights to it. But the do own the rights to Malice. There is even a renegade space marine chapter called the Sons of Malice.

No but DE should work like that, they probably wont but its going to be interesting how GW gives them sub-faction bonuses.

I see, too bad, I don't like using allies that much. Is there a good ally to them that isn't IG? Also valkyries or taurox? I heard taurox are pretty good now but valkyries are way more aesthetically pleasing.

...

Nice to see a guard regiment from Caliban

That is pretty solid. I was also thinking Kabal of the Phantom Kiss, or Kabal of the Forlorn Heart

well first off 2hu is /jp/
second off, they're a different kind of autist.
third off, touhou isn't about fucking cartoon horses.

Could this be a good counter-charge unit to toughen up an infantry heavy IG list?
tl;dr
>Cannoness with power lance and melta bombs
>4x celestians + celestian superior with power lance

I made up something like that for my DE
>archon and succubus HQs
>Succubus was disgraced and taken in by the archon because they’re madly in love

Me too, bro. Me too.

Or that summoning wasn't literally shooting your foot off in both list building and gameplay

Whats the most amount of salt that you've ever seen from a typically friendly player when things havent gone their way in game?

I recently had someone get mad at me once he started to lose. He blamed me for not sending my full list over the night before so that he could tailor his list to deal with mine.

they're only better because they don't play and you never deal with that.

7th?
Celestians?
God damn it stop this nonsense

>Most elite infantry in the lore
>Chosen by the emperor
>Absolute gutter trash on the table
I actually lost to GKs the other day. Why does GW do this to me?

>no TH/SS or Cyclone
>no base 4++
>their only advantage, mobility, is a whooping 1" over normal terminators

What were they thinking when updating them ? Why didn't they give them something like a reroll of charging distance or advance move ? What's the point of using them, trying to field cheap reaper cannons ?

I say valks, more operator. You could ally them with admech or Inquisition. Or just make them a small force and use them for kill team missions.

there is something extra kawaii about DE romance

like who?

>losing to GKs
How is this even possible did you fall sleep and let his Paladin unit ran your dudes in the ass

Joke's on you, I'm painting mine silver

I mean playing pure Tempestus isn't impossible, it's just harder than say IG gunline with deep striking scions to take care of artillery, which super easy to play.
>valkyries or taurox?
Both are very viable this edition but it depends on your style of play

It's almost like special forces are good at very specific things and aren't a match in a straight up shooting war with a dedicated military.

thats funny if true.

I only play against one dude and the guy rolls a shit ton of ones (he uses GW dice). he shot his entire army at one of my 30 point dudes and only chipped off one wound. he got so upset that he sounded like his dog died or something. everything was pessimism and complaints. guys a really sore loser and pushes his little victories in my face A lot. like he'll yell at my dudes and laugh gleefully smugly telling me to remove it when he kills one.

fun guy though if the game is close.
I'm also a little shit when I'm winning.

I don't Imperium, what is a power sword, anyway?
If Tau developed small scale shield generators that pulsed out of the melee weapon on impact with a target body, is that the same thing as a force/power weapon?

>What were they thinking when updating them?

Staying true to the fluff that they're a little faster terminators. Should models in MkVI get huge movement bonuses over models in MkIII? Should Tigrus bolters get less strength because they're .60 caliber while Godwyns are .75?

>What's the point of using them

GW made a kit for 30k and gave token rules for 40k.

I don't care, I use all my 30k terminators as just regular terminators.

I feel like GW's internal player base hates the popular shit like marines.

You still have awful taste but slightly better than the rest of the bananas.

*white gold

Still, if their entire battlegroup gets "put out of action" I'd be surprised if the victors don't walk a few special weapon troops over the battlefield and liquefy the heads of the crippled Custodes with a plasma gun. Their losses would be considerable if they were getting beaten on by stuff like heavy artillery or shot directly with Neutron Lasers and lascannon.

Oh, I'd absolutely be bringing a few thousand Electropriests and a zillion Dunecrawlers, plus bombs, Arquebi, Dragoons and flying whale-Dreadnought monstrous air support, although judging by that 6k Winters SEO game a while ago a Reaver or two wouldn't be a terrible idea. Almost one-shot a Revenant Titan with one arm, christ.

Evidently they CAN lose, because one of the dex fluff entries was the Administratum filing all their holy battles as victories and thus confusing all the strategic maps. I was just thinking that they may not be worth their superheavy-vehicle-platoon level cost compared to Marines or even just a regiment of Scions and another two dozen strategic assets that are slightly less individually choppy and much more versatile.

Guy who is a friendly, affable fellow semi-regularly has to go outside to cool off and smoke if he's getting beat too hard by about turn 3/4 at my local place. He's getting better about it though

GW hates elite armies. Look at Bananas and GK and Knights in 40k and BCR in AoS

so how do centurions work. they have like 3 wounds each and a 2+ but they cost 80 points each and have zero invuln.

they seem to be designed under the impression that AP and multi damage doesn't exist.

>custodes is a shit
at least the new Chapter Approved is soon and can hopefully straiten out the situation with a severe reduction in points costs across the whole army.

>walk a few special weapon troops over the battlefield
you assume they don't teleport out

A power weapon is a weapon with an energy field designed to either pierce armor (like with power swords) or release such a powerful force upon impact that it crushes its target (like a power maul or Thunder Hammer).

Tau already have small scale shield generators and shield generator drones. And putting a powerfield onto something like a katana would be trivial.

Force weapons are different though. Force weapons are specially designed power weapons that psykers can focus their psychic power through. They are more deadly than power swords but only those with psychic power can use them.

just bring back double dice rolls for saves on termies.

CA is still several months away. The big errata next month isn't CA.

Still using Internet Explorer, eh user?

Chapter approved is this month in march.

WHERE THE BIG MARCH FAQ AT?!!?11

I don't play the bananas but I'm excited because there is a lot of potential for my soup there.

Chapter approved is December. The biannual errata is not CA.

17 more days probably

I was under the impression BCR were overpowered in AoS.

Can I only take Pask if I'm using the cadian doctrine?

>slightly faster
>calling the difference between having and not having sweeping advance *slightly faster*
That was a big difference in mobility and the reason they exist as an unit. Once that's removed you need to give them something else, otherwise they're a pointless unit. And a codex shouldn't have pointless units, throwing up your hands in the air and going "whatever, just don't use them" is just lazy as fuck.

I'm thinking about getting a box of acolytes to play Nucromunda. Is there any to play GSC on their own just with cult models? I mean no IG models

huh so there might not be many point changes as CA?

Fuck off neckbeard

No but he can only order other Cadian tanks and you lose your doctrines if you mix regiments in one detachment.

Terra is a hellhole tho

sure, though you'll need a fuckton of them

>several months
thats soon

that may be true, but the sculpts look pretty mediocre.

probably none at all. the main thing they will do is alter faction keywords for some units so that, for example, dark reaper spam will get put in its place.
