Threadly reminder to not reply to rules baiting user and report his bait.
What is it about this time?
Any plans for upcoming games, purchases, or painting anons?
So anons, do you consider the Bloodletter Bomb overpowered?
Given that on average a 30 man unit of Bloodletters and a Blood Throne w/ the Crimson Crown will kill 80 GEQs, 53 MEQs, 26 TEQs or 3 Leman Russ Battle Tanks. Plus an average of 0.33 Mortal Wounds for each nearby model. All for only 390 points and 3 CP.
suggested detachment limits in matched play being legal
Are dark Eldar vehicles still good for mass spamming or do they suffer from 8th's transport cost bloat issue?
Paint your shit anons. And go to the store to play. You'll make friends.
And be nice to anonette when she comes around, but don't spill your spaghettis.
Was there a single primarch that wasn't even the slightest bit autistic?
Was it the 2 secret ones? Is that why they were killed?
Nth for the right kind of Eldar
Dark Eldar Patrol Detachment again.
How would one go on to make a T'au army that's based on the post drone rebellion era?
Suits are fine as they are but I need ideas on what to do with the firewarriors
suggested detachment limits in matched play being a hard rule
No, because they are easily defeated by half decent play and screening.
Nth for glorious close combat Tau!
post drone rebellion era?
What is that?
Not really, 30 boys are cheaper and CP investment is optional.
Games
When I'm done painting.
Purchases
... don't tempt me user, I'd buy the whole range if I could
painting
Loads of tacticals, some assaults and a few Intercessors. I need to get around assembling and painting my devs as well.
Dumb meme that AI must automatically go men of iron despite no evidence of that being the case.
When tau loses the grip on the progress of their ai companions and basically terminator 2: judgement day happens
Painting my tau army, building a knight house, and trying to convince friends to play a 2k point game with me.
Introducing a smurf player to 8th on Sat. I don't think I've played a normal, non-teaching game of 8th in two months. I don't mind helping people learn but it'd be nice to get in a game where I didn't have to walk people though 8 pages of rules but everyone else in my group has developed a tendency to organize games while I'm asleep.
Field Dressing a Lasgun Wound
Step 1:
Ignore it because pointing a flashlight at someone does nothing except illuminate them.
Nah, as user mentioned screening will easily put a stop to that. Of course the daemon player can try eliminate the screens, but if they fail to do so they've wasted 3 CP and Bloodletters are pretty squishy and will get gunned down fast.
Finally, while in an ideal world the Bloodletter bomb does huge damage, in practice when are they going to actually kill 53 MEQs in one turn? They're going to kill a much smaller squad (or only 1 tank, etc) and all the overflow is wasted.
I think its still not a bad tactic, it just shouldn't be all in. Its probably better with a small unit of Bloodcrushers, who are less investment and much easier to deep strike without wasting so much excess killing power.
Fuck NPC armies
Fuck Xenos
no one fucking cares about your armies
dumb meme
sure, would it have been better had I worded it as 'fully autonomous tau army'?
Painting muh ghostkeel, commander and broadsides after losing to an Eldar WAACdude
Still good, wait to see what the Codex does though
I am painting my stuff! Also going to try get more games in at the store, though I've also ordered some terrain to try invite some mates around more regularly to play.
Unless you play ultramarines then you're playing npcs buddy.
Keep being a boon to your community user, soon enough you'll have a functionnal group that can work on its own.
What did he do, user?
Ah, so just drones led by Aun'Va?
go to the store to play.
it's 70 miles
You'll make friends.
not from storefags, they are the sad dregs that noone will let into their home or clubs.
saving up money for a Soup Army of Space Marines and Imperial Guard infantry/Scions/Tanks
Blood Ravens and 252nd Kauravan Regiment
Order a bunch of stuff for conversions; the main thing is another 4 Sslyth and a bunch of Dark Elf parts, I'm going to build ANOTHER Archon and this one will look cool, dammit
Non-Ultramarines are NPCs
Not non-Chaos
Matt Ward is gone user. This is the time of ADB.
that II and XI Legions reference
I didn't know they were involved with the Rangdan Xenocides
Step 1:
If someone was shot with a lasgun as opposed to a daemonic bolt shell or an alien shuriken then they are obviously a traitor and should be executed.
Aun'va
kek
I was thinking more of a way of converting the chaff units into robbits
No codex for the foreseeable future
Just bought new phone and bike so no fun shit for the foreseeable future
I've 6k of models, no idea what'll be even remotely viable.
Not knowing about Traitor Guard
"Facing waves of attack from the galactic east and north, and suffering losses that would not be exceeded until the dark days of the Heresy, the wars of the Rangdan Xenocides were the most terrible of any yet fought. Whole Expeditionary fleets went to their deaths without a single survivor, worlds were laid waste, dozens of Titan Legions were obliterated and by the end, entire Space Marine Legions [REDACTED SECTION] lost to the Imperium. Much of what happened during this abyssal conflict is still locked under seal, but what can be said is that with the breaking of the Labyrinth of Night by the Emperor, the threat was at last stymied."
Dark Eldar vehicles are potentially very durable, in that they suck against anti vehicle weapons but it's so easy to spam anti vehicle weapons as deldar you have the option to blow the shit out of enemy anti-vehicle then sit and laugh as people try to chew through a massive wall of medium toughness wounds with anti infantry guns.
Think of your least favourite faction
Done?
Now think of a unit, or character, or even just a bit of fluff of their's that you think is pretty cool.
I always liked the Savlar Chem Dogs. The idea of a Penal Legion that thrives in a way instead of just dying, even if that way is copious amounts of homebrewed drugs, appeals to me, and their designs would be really fun to paint and model.
"Forgot" certain things that would have benefited me, kept "bumping" his CP counting dice and putting it back higher than it was, giving himself extra VP's and getting angry when I asked him how he had nearly double what he should have.
I said in the last thread I didn't care, I was just happy to play a game. I was just genuinely surprised people behave this way.
is that why they were killed?
kek'd
forgot picture, hurr durr
That's not WAAC, user. That's straight out cheating.
What's the optimal loadout for Canoptek Wraiths?
Seeing how they keep getting closer, at some point they'll just fledge them out completely.
I'm torn between staying home and paint, go out to the coast during the weekend or date the Nazi girl with pink hair
do you play them as well?
Why does he look like Aang from Avatar?
Implying there's an ethical difference
You deep strike at the end of your movement phase
A nearly finished Basilisk, a far less finished Basilisk, Ogryns, an Infantry Squad
You put the stabby and shooty parts on it
I liked the idea of Scions
Date the nazi, but pray she changes her hair colour.
I'm going to be running mine barebones desu. The guns are kind of pricey and they will be in melee fast anyway.
Whip coils don't seem worth it to me, though i've never done maths on it.
nazi girl
meh
pink hair
stay away
Nekkid. If you're playing Sautekh you don't suffer a movement penalty for trans beamers so they become a fun option, but nudity is still optimal.
Goliath trucks look neat.
Yeah, pretty much. I laughed when he started putting his 15 dark reapers down.
"Gonna be one of these kind of games is it?" His response, no joke was;
"Yeah, I'm that guy."
Nah, like I said, IG is my least favourite faction. But if I ever did play, it'd be them.
Graf Toschenko was a Lord Marshal of the Imperial Guard. Leading the IX Vostroyan Firstborn forces in the Nimbosa Crusade, Toschenko's Command Squad was cut down by Tau fire, leaving the commander exposed. Nonetheless, Toschenko grabbed the Regimental Banner and urged his reeling men to fight on, but was struck down in a devastating volley by Commander Brightsword.
The Vostroyans' death inspired the populace of Nimbosa to revolt against the Tau's insidious idea of "the Greater Good."
The very definition of Martyrdom.
Nazi
Pink hair
She's probably not a real nazi and only pretends to attract alt-right orbiters
But if you're lucky you should probably try to impregnate her to secure the existence of our people and a future for white children
painting sounds like it'll bring you the least regrets
Why did you even play him then.
lmao I probably wouldn't have even played him, sounds like an unenjoyable person to play against.
I remember playing against a Necron player who would always re-roll cocked dice whenever they were results he didn't want but would keep them whenever they were favorable results. We were playing on a Sector Imperialis board so there were a lot of cocked dice.
any idea how to get the greenish discoloring, and would it also work on infantry?
What's Veeky Forums's opinion on this guy? I quite liked his reviews on the tau and cron codexes. He seems to really know his shit, competitively speaking.
That's why you force people to choose between re-rolling all or none.
Already been there with crazy. But god damn she loves coming over and cook stuff.
Oh by Nazi I mean German, basically same thing.
So who is going to be GW's new painter now that Duncan is gone.
I need some suggestions of good movies to watch while I paint. Currently watching 5th element, but stuff that is good for background noise is what I'm looking for.
Only guy in the store looking for a game. I get very few opportunities for a game so I'll take what I can get. Again, I don't play to win, I play for fun. I'm not a CAACfag and still try my best to give a good game but ultimately it's a game and I had fun. Muh Tau performed GLORIOUSLY in close combat. I love it when they do that.
I felt bad about knocking his monolith on the floor by accident while setting the board up so I mostly ignored it since he was getting stomped anyways
his review of the tau codex was awful desu, he didnt really know any of the rules from the index to compare the new ones to
he's a decent player tho
Germans are still nazis, 70 years later
This is some proper bait. 10/10 made me have instant feelings of anger towards you.
Drive.
Watch french niche movies then. That shit is nothing but background noise.
Alternatively, Blade Runner 2049. Kino as fuck, as being De Villeneuve, there's not much talking. There's also some very neat E.YE vibes.
If I fire both halves a combi weapon, I -1 to my hit rolls. So that means I detonate on rolls of 2 unless I have an aura that rerolls all fails correct?
What is the most fun army for someone to bring to table for all players. That army you play against and know win or lose you are in for a fun game.
e.y.e vibes you say? I haven't seen it yet but damn now I'm ready to gain some brozouf.
yes.
Oh is it namefagging time now?
Let the wyches hit the floor
Let the wyches hit the floor

That alien invasion movie with the brown chick from all of the sci-fi movies and Aaron Eckhart.
It's in LA and it's named something stupid like invasion or battle or something
tfw guardsmen hold the line
And what if I apply Veterans of the Long War when I'm already wounding on 2+? Are rolls of 1s still considered successes from the +1 to wound rolls?
Yes. Even if you can re-roll 1s, you still can't re-roll the 2 even though it is reduced to 1
Orks, hands down. Everyone smiles when you bring orks.
No, rolls of 1s are always a failure
There isn't one, its down to the player.
Mostly a running joke after she told a story about her old grandpa being a guard at a prisoner camp and that one of my old grandparent was a prisoner there. Specially when the two old fart ended being drinking buddies after the war
Dude is really good at the game and all around pretty funny.
A roll of 1 always fails.
Fuck I know what movie you're talking about, I just cant remember the name. It's battle for LA or something. .
Greentide, waves of Hormagaunts or Templar footslogging crusade.
Orks
It's LA: The Battleground
pretty sure the green is the base colour, it's everything else that's discolouring.
Ah okay. Last question, can Long War stack with Blades of Putrification or Prescience for additive +2 on wounding?
No idea who or what he is, so.. pretty low opinion I guess.
Yes, bonuses stack, unless the specifically don't.
TRON.
Good soundtrack.
Need to finish 1000 pts of spess marines
Wanna buy 1000 pts of Necrons
No money, no problem
Watch it then, it's really really good. Preferably right after watching the first one. I'd even argue it's better than the first one.

Tyrannic War Veterans are the greatest! They’re full of wisdom and experience!
Used to be orks, now the game is decided in turn 1, either you'll roll them or be rolled.
Wait wat?
shitposts
of all time I would say Orks and Goblins army with Night Goblin fanatics or whatever they're called in in Age of Smegmar...not even trolling its just always enjoyable to see where the little buggers end up.
Cancer is a horrible disease.
I guess I am collecting orks next. I already have IG spaven, so it feels like it's a natural next choice
Starship Troopers
went to Macragge
got BTFO
slipped back into obscurity
Even tyranids are more of a legitimate race than you death guard shitters
Duncan got too close to the lion cage at the zoo and is currently in a coma. He's not expected to awaken and they're talking about taking him off life support.
There's a bunch of conspiracy theories he did it on purpose due to the on-going investigation into his sex scandal or because of his Stage 4, but I haven't seen any solid evidence.
Big facts
I do love daft punk
The original blade runner is one of my favorites, so yea I'm downloading it right now :^)
Seen this a million times or else I would.
I ended up staying up all night, but I'm gonna call her done
no
Nah, pic related.
Fuck yes
Why do people here seem to hate ADB? He's great and MoM was one of the best pieces of 40k fiction ever written.
t.Carnac
too much chaos wank
Dear Lord. Don't get me wrong user, it's well done, kudos to you. But you have no idea what you've just started.
Considering the time skip it’s amazing there are some still around
Care for a little cultural exchange program miss?
Because he is one of the only writers that can consistently write chaos well? I'm disappointed in you guys.
100 years is pitance to a space marine, user.
I, lately, have been watching (more like listening to) a dude on youtube with a channel called 'good bad flicks' that in a slightly funny way reviews old scifi and action b-movies.
It's pretty good white noise
Yes
Several reasons:
-His books have become predictable, with protagonists being more or less the same, with waifus and servants
-Very biased towards Chaos, which obviously doesn't go well with the fact that, unsurprisingly, fans are in their majority loyalist at hearts
-tends to have SJW opinions which rattles the /pol/ among Veeky Forums
Is it bad to want art of a "cultural exchange" between Torchstar and the Deldar?
Shit I love stuff like MST3K.
That's pretty gud. Better than the shadowsun one.
Are you only doing tau?
Stop trying to murder Duncan with meme magic you son of a bitch. I'll dedicate every repeating digit I ever get to vengeance.
I would agree, but he managed to basically make 40k moot with a single phrase in MoM. "Chaos won."
Everyone knows the Imperium is dying, but having the Emperor say that when the HH hasn't even ended is a middle finger to every loyalist player AND xenos player out there.
I still think that he writes really well and I love reading his prose, but sometimes I disagree with his opinions. But I think he got the point after MoM that it was a touchy subject.
No, it just means you've accepted the true kin into your heart.
Can't murder what is already dead
Not at all user, don't listen to that fascist propaganda of racial separatism from the other lesser species. We Drukhari love to share our culture with others! Look how happy this snake man has become!
I really dig the Iron Priest models. Ulrik is fucking awesome as well, as is Bjorn.
Nice work, personally i'd gone for a bluer tone and different backdrop to make it pop better as well as cut dead space.
The first point is my only real issue with him. I loved his first few books, but these days i feel like i keep re-reading them with minor changes here and there.
That said i do think he's one of the better BL authors (he's no Chris Wraight though), as low a bar as that may be.
B-B-BUT MUH FAT LELITH
I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THAT FANART
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THAT MEANS YOU'RE GAY
that waacfaggotry lost him 15k
Don't be a tony
Shit you just 1 for 1 described our local eldar cheater, did he also clump his dark reapers together and double fire 3 squads? Everybody in our shop has straight up told him we won't play against him until he stops blatantly cheating
It's absolutely great! That's a proper berry right there! cheers!
gross
If I wanted fat girls I'd go outside, give me my skinny waifs
The background might work better but you butchered the hair
yeah I know
that's the problem
Shouldn't all the named Tau characters except farsight be dead since the 100 year time skip?
Tfw your army will never be more than grunts for CSM's
No independent wins
Only used to show how badass the protagonist is
At least we broke Cadia and the guard
Wraight is a Doctor in English. Probably why he's the best.
So, predictions for Wych stuff?
I'm hoping for something good for Reavers.
Also still need to decide between one more Talos and a bunch of Wracks in terms of filling out my Coven detachment.
No doubt, I just hueshifted a little, true blue skin would have left the hair a red blob.
CBA to set up and select seperate layers for a quick edit.
no because it's not a consistent timeskip
...yes.
That image
Fucking hell, the fanfiction that Cadians are still fighting in the warp has come true
New to 40k here, I was just gifted the space marine commander kit for my birthday. Is this guy just supposed to be the regular captain? I have one in Terminator armor also I got from the SC kit is it just more viable points wise than the termie one?
Both Horus and Lion are pretty decent (the lion stops being decent when his legion turns chaos)
No
-it's only been 100 years from Guilliman's pespective
-warp fuckery means that the timeskip means jackshit
-the tau have several ways to prolong the lives of their leaders
-several tau characters aside from Farsight are functionally immortal
So, predictions for Wych stuff?
Disappointment.
No seriously, wychfags have been clamouring for it so long nothing will ever be good enough, they no longer know how not to.
What is your least favourite army and why?
Craftworld Eldar
Don't like their look, find their lore pretty boring, they all have the same personality and their models are really outdated
like this? I was trying to keep it warm.
I'm expecting Wych stuff to be on par with the Covens; so not as good as the Kabals, but okay with a few neat tricks.
The image is the last few hours on Cadia where Daemons just rampaged through the planet
Are talking army in terms of models or faction?
If army, Necrons, they suffer from being bland and samey and in terms of factions, Tau. Do I really need to explain why?
Not wanting to go to 1,000,001 views
You disgust me
Well it works for me, but i've ahardone for that glue/grey gradient, you could try do do a gradient with warm colours, maybe work it to contrast the part of the art near it.
I'm no artist myself, I just do edits.
Both. You can dislike them because of their models, their playstyle, their fluff, the players whatever; who do you just hate?
L-liar!
I did not know this. Makes sense, his writing is clearly technically superior to most of the others.
Alright lads, thinking of picking up a cryptek model, but whos better to take? i have 2 untis of warriors and an immortal squad as my back line, so i can benfit from szeras's buff, but he is almost twice the price
In this case I fucking hate Sob and that's only because of the players.
Fucking half of them are waifufags and the rest are insufferable waacfags
Daemon codex literally talks about how the Guard started selling their souls and turning on their friends as Cadia fell
Tau. They don't fit, they have plot armour, and their players are weebs the majority of the time
Their playstyle is interesting though.
Its alright my man, I happen to like playing the villain even if it means we'll never really win
Besides, we get plenty of wins in our Codex, same as anyone else.
Craftworld Eldar. Because out of all armies, everywhere i have played regularly its the CE players that are absolute WAAC arseholes.
There's nothing wrong with the army itself, its just in my own experience it attracts dicks.
Aaron "chaos is the objective good guy" Dambski "the emperor is gonna die to some literally who OC donutsteel demon" Bowden, writer of Master "chaos has already won" of "I do not care for my son's, they are a means to an end" Mankind is a good (tm) """"""""""writer"""""""""
Yes, yes he did
Go fuck yourself with this shitposting. Reported.
Imperial Guard. I'm not into massed infantry and even less so when they're humans.
I don't hate them though and some of the regiments are pretty cool, as I mentioned here
At least 2 games this week, possibly 3. Also gunna prime some dudes
Clearly traitorous propaganda.
Out of curiosity though, mind posting the extract?
I like normal Crypteks unless i have a bunch of Lychguard....unlike Crypteks, Szeras's can improve their Reanimation Protocols.
However, for warriors and immortals normal Cryptek with Chronometron all the way.
Shadowsun and O'Kais are kept in stasis until they're "needed" so they could do this with anyone really.
Cryptek is a better as supporter, Szeras is far more of a combat character.
But you have no idea what you've just started.
I knew very well what I was getting into when I drew shadowsun
Are you only doing tau?
Nah. In one of the previous threads I mentioned I'll probably try DE next
I always appreciate the feedback!
Best example of winning includes a random Eldar army defeating a Daemon army led by the Masque
I wouldn't mind a new Keeper of Secrets model that looked more like that.
Guard, just because it attracts the most insufferable kind of person.
Do a female space wolf. They always make my dick hard.
But he cna still snipe vehcles in the back feild, or wont i see a return on that investment?
Crypteks can do lychguard, do you mean triarch stuff? shame he cant move fast enough to keep up with preatorians
-the tau have several ways to prolong the lives of their leaders
No they don't, only whys to make them appear to have long lives like the puretide chip or Aun'va's projection.
Unless the originals died and were secretly replaced by someone else who took the name as a mantle, they shouldn't be around.
Farsight has his sword to keep him going forever as long has he keeps killing.
Don't be obtuse user, that was just a random section I picked out because I dug the idea of the Changeling working with the Masque.
Our Codex has plenty of examples of us winning, same as any other faction.
Holy fuck, this is exactly the type of shit I was looking for.
only non NPC armies are primarch chapters, blood angels and space wolves.
I swear, they will find a way to bring sanguinius back from the dead before they bring corvus corax onto the tabletop.
Keeper of Secret
It's seems "just" a modern revamp.
I know a few CSM and Taufags that look like these guys.
Fucking half of them are waifufags and the rest are insufferable waacfags
I share your hateboner for SoB players just as much even if I play SoB too.
Do a "cultural exchange" between Tau and Deldar. Seriously considering the dark ones for my next army.
When at last chaos came to Cadia it arrived with fire and plague, bloodied axe and sorcerous blast. Many of its defenders fought to the end, but in desperation some betrayed their comrades, willingly selling their souls in the hopes of preserving their flesh. Even the mightiest fortifications toppled in the face of the daenonic onslaught, becoming tombstones for an entire world.
Shooting is also combat.
You pay twice the price because he's trying to do two jobs.
can’t even let the guards have this one just this once
Why is chaos wank the most annoying fucking thing in 40k
I know, but having a resculpted head closer to that art (or just away from the current one really) would be nice.
I'm sure sooner or later it'll get an update to bring it on par with the others though. I hope so, it actually looks like it'd be pretty decent on the table, aside from its low invulnerable save its good some good stats and gimmicks.
What if I just want an army of nuns cause I like the concept of an entire army of joan of arcs?
Cuz he’s on a bender!
I know very few 40k players that don't.
Hell If i could grow a beard i'd probably look lie that too.
Tsss, lies and slanders, assuredly.
Literally every Imperial Guard battle ends with them taking massive losses but winning
Sure, i mean look at the new Unclean one, a moderation of the old sculpts with cues from the FW character and art added.
So chances are good you'll get mostly what you want.
40k
beard
Why is this such a true stereotype?
I can explain the waac part.
It is GW fault, for some reason SoB either need to go full waac or auto lose on the table. That happens because melta and flames have always been good and SoB can spam those easily
Since we have had the same army for decades that plays exactly the same almost every edition you end being better than the average player by experience alone.
I aint talking about looks, I mean the attitude.
Chaos are usually just edgelords and Tau are usually weebs. Guard though are reddit incarnate.
fug
Any underused chapters like the Excoriators you'd recommend? The cream and silver look is great, armour that looks like its been chewed by a rancor with little memos for each dent and scratch is even better. But I just can't get over the masochism cranked up to 11. Their chapter punishment is 'no torture for you'. I like you Dorn but your sons are fucking nuts.
Because most 40k players are overweight and a beard gives your face some angles
Exorcists and iron knights.
Beards are nice, hipsters be damned, i also wear flannel cause it's comfy as fuck, big glasses cause I like a large field of view and work boots because I buy footwear for a decade.
It's like that old picture of the dude whose advice is to make your list at 2k and to never ever change it.
I mean, I think most SOB players could likely do that. The only real change this edition is 'take out the exorcists'. It's still 'Celestine leading dominions in repressors' like it's been for as long as those units existed.
You're overthinking it.
They simply have bad hygiene/personal care
and are too lazy to shave every day
Star Phantoms: Victory through overwhelming firepower and complete and utter overkill.
The commander can be a Captain or Lieutenant, terminator captains do tend to be a waste points wise but normal captains are pretty sweet especially if you keep it simple with just a stormbolter and melee weapon and have him hangout with your dudes for free rerolls
p-pls respond
Maybe there's a colour scheme you like in the list?
They simply have bad hygiene/personal care
and are too lazy to shave every day
A good beard is way more work than a weekly stubble-shearing.
Friend of mine told me Powerfist+Plasma pistol is a good combo, is he right or should I just ignore him.
read the fluff, will you?
The thing is SoB have the same model line for decades and difference between editions is the number of transport.
This is the mos radical change. First time in decades that flamer and exorcist are bad.
Er...yeah, i did mean Triarchs.
But yes, normally i just like Cypteks more myself. Necrons don't have a lot of points to throw around at luxury characters in my games i've noticed.
Not the Dreadwing's descendants for nothing.
Yes they tend to win just by having more number and not through overwhelming skill or tactics, but when it wasnt enough on Cadia they gave them an out and let them have the planet die in their stead. And then some chaos fangay faggot came along and decided to shit all over that in a codex story.
A beard is not a substitute for a jawline
They don't have "good beards," they have unwashed/untrimmed neckbeards and oily mustaches
Holy shit, where's this gif from?
it is a more specialized combo, good for hurting tougher enemies but the lack of range on the pistol and the hit penalty on the fist make it a tough call. What chapter are you using and who is he going to be accompanying? We could probably come up with a better recommendation
warhammer 40k
The Excoriators are great, I sorely considered them as an army when I got back into 40k for 8th but I knew I couldn't do the armor justice.
Theres lots of good Chapters that have minimal fluff like them though, its sometimes fun to go through the wikis and check out all the neat ones that get a lot of character out of only a few paragraphs of back story.
One pair I like is the Blood Swords and Star Dragons; the two Chapter were stationed nearby each other and became regular allies, and when the Blood Swords were put onto a pentitent crusade for losing their homeworld the Star Dragons joined them, not because of any oaths or obligations, just to back up their bros.
decided to shit all over that in a codex story.
The codex entry just says a few sold their souls, I'd be more surprised if a few didn't try and save themselves while fighting a massive daemon invasion.
Death of Hope
I doubt it desu, a captain is far more valuable for giving other squads rerolls. The powerfist is only useful if you get into melee with bug things (like tanks) so he'd have to go after them (unless the enemy is overconfident/stupid) and the plasma pistol has so little range that if you can shoot it it means your gunline is getting charged next turn
Shave
Every
Day
Wew lad...
what are the best melee teams? orks? what else
"The Death of Hope" 30k fan movie, check youtube for its trailer
World eaters, Genestealers, Khorneflakes
Like traitor cucks?
Die and also die a traitor. Hell not even for a good cause. They willing sold their souls to become some demon’s cum dumpster
I saw someone roll as Blood Ravens the other day at my FLGS, I thought it was pretty cool he even had named some of his models based on the games, Davian Thule in the Venerable dreadnought too. Sadly he didn't have the Gabriel forgeworld model though.
Damn right!
Blood Angels, World Eaters
I'm not understanding what you're trying to get at with that comment, honestly. You should have formatted better.
Imperial Guard win every battle
They finally have to lose one
GW writes it so the IG come off as badass and amazing in defeat and make it a phyrric Chaos victory anyway even though they're supposed to be more of a threat this edition
Daemons codex tries to make Daemons look a little better, adds realism of Guard not all being giant badasses
IG players bitch
not sure when but im going to be fighting orks, again but Im looking for good units to take on orks, not sure to go ranged with Devistators or close combat with more termies or assault or vanguard squads
Not especially, though it does look cool and that counts for a lot.
To be honest you're best off figuring out the rest of your force and then giving your captain a load out that compliments it.
Yes and? A few guardsmen bitching out doesn't really have any significant impact on how one views the event.
Imperial Guard win every battle
When has this ever been true?
Sorry.
To shave every day is excessive in my opinion. Back when I tried to stay clean shaven, it was every couple of days, but I now prefer my gloriously kept beard.
Heavy bolters.
Everything in the ork dex hates them.
Even most of their vehicles will cry with their shitty saves and reliance on wound count.
its not hard to hard counter orks. beat their horde to the charge and they lose their momentum. everything else they have on the table dies fast. enough.
Okay thats a pretty kickass insignia
Sometimes you have to. At least every 2 days if you work in a high pressure competitive environment and even every day if you have fast growing hair like a Sikh buddy of mine.
I hear Kabalites are great and wyches suck. What about wracks?
Imperial Guard win every battle
IG are the punching bag of every codex there is and there just happens to be a critically story important battle where they lose on their own terms and one of the codex fluff writers got so but mad that it wasnt a total chaos victory they made a petty story about how the guard totally broke when the line is "the planet broke before the guard did".
Imperial Guard win every battle
IG are one of the main factions used when they want something killed en masse to make whatever is in the spotlight look good
stop making daemon players look silly my man
Fair enough.
I just ordered a blyat cast knight cerastus. I'm not sure how fucked I am.
The chapter I'm running is the Eagle Warriors, Ultramarine successor chapter.
Ah I see so he's better off just staying back and giving his buffs.
To me Star phantoms are the most belliveabe SM chapter, tactics, outlook, methodology and approach to civvies.
Codex is not out yet, only parts teased.
Angels of Iron look pretty sweet
All of the most recent battles? (Excluding the Damocles crusade which is a stalemate)
The Codex will have to drop before a proper answer to that. Looks like they'll be okay, not great. Very sturdy for their points with a potential T5 4++ and power from pain, but only really good in melee and even there not as much as a dedicated assault unit.
if i was enough of a homo to play SM, thats definitely the chapter i'd choose.
Blyatcast is fine, chingchongcast is not fine
You have low test then, or just shitty genes in general.
I have to shave every day. 5'o cock shadow seems to be getting rarer and rarer as modern mens testosterone gets fucked.
Still painting my Ravenwing after a LOOOOONG break.
Codex Imperial Guard
almost like how all the battles in Codex Daemons are won by daemons
Stalemate? I'm a Tau player and that is retarded. The admech literally set the Damocles gulf on fucking fire. Sure, they didn't get the planets back, but killing everything there is far from a stalemate.
That's a pretty cool combo, gives you a reason to have a two colour scheme army too
Chapter tactics only make so much difference as to whether a base unit is good.
Star Phantoms
Where does GW come up with these corny ass names?
That sounds like a name I would have came up with and thought was badass when I was 12 and I lived in the mid 1980's
No they're not, like every battle in the Daemons codex is Daemons show up, cause trouble, get sent back to the warp. It's like Cruddace's Tyranids.
So another IG win
right now I just have 1 tactical squad and a venerable dreadnought. I'm probably gonna get another tac squad and some scouts soon.
Yes, by my count, definitely an imperial "victory"
Yeah before the Horus Heresy series alk the Primarchs were described as quite charismatic and brilliant. Unfortunately since fan fiction writers tend to have neither of those traits the Primarchs are instead Twilight characters for edgy teens
Where does GW come up with these corny ass names?
In the 1980's reading 2000 AD comics and Dune novels while listening to Judas Priest.
Definitely low testosterone and shitty genes, hence why I grew my beard-of-overcompensation. I also hide my toy soldiers so the bigger, stronger more rampant testosterone-fueled masculine machines don't make fun of me or hurt me.
Fulgrim is written as non-autistic in the Palatine Pheonix
He remembered Corynth, kneeling before him. The serenity of his smile. Had he achieved perfection, in his final moments? The thought haunted Fulgrim. He replayed the moment over and over again in his head, studying it from every angle. Why had Corynth allowed himself to die? Had he too been proving a point?
In those final moments had he won the duel between desire and purpose?
Fulgrim forced the anger down, 'I... misjudged the situation,' he said. 'You are right. My desire to prove myself got the best of me, and I made an error in judgment.' He paused. 'Several, in fact.'
Pyke blinked, surprised. Fulgrim allowed himself a smile. Whatever she thought, she did not quite have the measure of him. His brothers might internalize their flaws, but only by admitting his own would he achieve the perfection he sought.
'Desire and purpose,' he said. He tapped the stack of treatises. 'Perhaps you are right about their philosophy as well. It might be the tempering my sons need if they are to reach their full potential.'
Is now a good time to start a new Marine army? What're the odds that true scale minis are going to suddenly replace the manlets? I wouldn't feel so bad if I'd had them for ages, but if the paint was still drying it'd be a bit of a kick in the balls
I need some Black Library advice:
I've read Dark Imperium and Watchers of the Throne so far - where do I go to next for Girlyman/42nd millennium stuff?
Alpharius and Omegon are described as manlets so you'll always have the Alpha Legion
Show us the order when it comes.
the day when primaris replace the old marines
the day when it turns out everyone was alpha legion all along
Enemy army reduced to a single drop pod
Drop pod scores an objective hold, tipping the balance and winning the game
Why is this allowed?
There is zero percent chance of the primaris replacing the marinelets, GW said it themselves and they purposely designed them to fill niche combat roles to avoid any overlap
Would you?
The Tau have no Lazarus treatments, and their older lore has them finding the idea of extending your natural lifespan as appalling. Your deeds and story is all that should be passed on to the next generation when it is their time to inherit the future.
No they're not, like every battle in the Daemons codex is Daemons show up, cause trouble, get sent back to the warp.
And? Thats all they need for a victory. Daemons don't generally hold territory, most of their incursions are to despoil a world then return to the warp with souls in tow.
You allowed it to happen, do better next time.
Devestation of Ball, Thorpe's new SW book and there'll be a DA one out soon.
Girlyman doesn't features in any ither novel for now. But Shroud of Night, Sons of the Hydra and Castellan are all set in 42K.
So I'm working on a Harlequins/Craftworld list. And for my Craftworld detachment I was gonna put a grip of Wraithlords in. I wanted to kit one for 99 (flamers, ghostglaive, shuriken cannons) and the other 2 I was going to kit for long range fire. They have a Bonesinger and a D-Cannon Wraithseer with them as well.
Should I take Missile Launchers so they have some anti horde ability? Or just a Bright Lance and Star Cannon?
DE codex is next purchase, then another of the existing SC box.
After that, a venom.
I'll throw a succubus in there somewhere, too.
AND HE PRAYS!
You should't have been retarded enough to let an immobile non-obsec model win the game for your opponent
You think that's bad? I got tabled by a single drop pod once.
Oh yeah you're right, Guilliman does feature in DoB, my bad.
Have a look through the Codex and figure out a list maybe, then ask for further advice here on the specifics
What're the odds that true scale minis are going to suddenly replace the manlets?
Nah, not gonna happen. Its pretty much always a good time to start collecting marines though, always able to find cheap and plentiful stuff for them online and they're fun and easy to paint.
OH MY GOD DO I PRAY
Are there any good Ork POW novels or is it just downhill from the comics?
The reason half his legion turned against the Lion is he was autistic.
He didn't understand jealousy, how people would feel snubbed being put aside etc.
alpha legion can’t infiltrate other space marines chapters now that everyone else is taller
I PRAY EVERY SINGLE DAY
Refreshing Warhammer Community for more DEldar
See this instead
I got tabled by a single drop pod once
That drop pod better have earned a medal.
thanks for the tip user, look like im buying some scouts too
Thanks
Are these space marine focused? I prefer regular Imperial dudes, but I'll take what I can get.
It'd need to be something amazing, because being primarily assault focused they're just at an outright disadvantage to start with.
okay
Other guy that already replied has it right.
Evil Sun Rising
Story time?
GW need to start selling packs of eagle ordinaries to pin to models who perform meritorious action.
Jaggy seems alright
Reconsider that extra tactical squad because they arent doing to well this edition, maybe go for a Sternguard kit instead so you have a ton of extra weapons for the rest of you dudes (seriously, theres like 25 weapons in there) and some bodyguards that can pack a punch. I'd also advise against finishing your captain until you grab a Sternguard kit so that you can give him some unique looking gear and if you're a fan of the Space Marine game the kit even has a Captain Titus head
Or you can paint them yourself.
Story time
My nid horde tore apart a space marine army in a bloody struggle that left two gaunts and a drop pod intact.
The gaunts were falling back, but wouldn't have been able to make it to the table edge in time, it was turn 7 anyhow.
Then they got stormboltered by an immobile transport.
Not sure how i stand on improperly orkified writing, feels like Galactica where they cram in "Frak".
Well he WAS a fucking feral child, fucker ate raw meat and soiled himself for the first years of his life, admittedly Curze and Russ did too but they don't have to many fans either.
Yes, all of them. The event is still recent, so novels in that timeframe aren't very common.
Eldar, fuck those faggots.
It's literally just called Battle: Los Angeles
I ordered a Minotaur from chingchongcast a couple months ago and it was totally fine for the price. Little bit of bent parts to straighten out and that was it. Definitely worth.
I have a couple Mars Alpha Russes and an admech robo friendo on the way right now from them since my first purchase went well. Crossing my fingers.
Reminds me of a game I had where I shot down my enemy's thunderfire cannon, only to have the techmarine footslog it over half the table to score the one objective that denied me victory in the end. Was kinda my own fault since I ignored him for two turns, then didn't have enough firepower left to actually kill him on the last turn and my opponent rolled a 6 for running. That was epic, but also epically rage-inducing.
Anyone got a link to the new eisenhorn book epub or pdf?
What kind of sickness would make your hair grow faster?
Yeah, resin recasts are usually fine. Just don't make the mistake of ordering stuff that originally is made from plastic - not only is the quality usually bad, you don't really save anything either compared to ordering from Wayland or a similar site. I ordered 3 knights a while back from a chinacaster, and while they're not too bad (got three for less than I would've paid for one GW knight), assembling them was a bitch since it was literally just a bag of parts, and they're lacking some detail as a result of the recasting process.
How does one find these chingchongcast suppliers
Out of curiosity, why do so many people hate Leman Russ? Is he just a big moron?
You don't
People just think he's a dick for the whole Prospero thing. I like Russ though, a raging alcoholic asshole like myself.
the general reasons are
big old furry
mary sue (I don't see it, but others do
dumb thug
bullying best boy
Nice try.
Maybe I just wanted to make everyone else feel better by giving their PCs something to beat up on.
You didn't need to go and be an asshole about it.
Funny, the plastic blyatcasts I got were absolutely flawless.
r/yoyhammer, then follow the trail. That or be lazy like some of us and use CnF.
Fuck off GW
This. My hammerheads and fire warriors were sub-par, much detail missing (he was cool about it though and threw in a bunch of free shit) but the resin recasts were awesome bar some minor breakages and bending. All easy fixes.
I hope the Codex has nice things for Orks.
Snikgob grunted. His habitually sour expression became ever so slightly less sour. "Ain't dat troo?"
"Politikz! Always da politikz! Time woz, yoo cud just shoot somewun in da face an' get it all yor own way. Not now,oh no".
"We'z gettin' old, iz all." Snikgob have him a sympathetic look. "Yoo fink wun day, yoo play yor cardz right, yoo'll be da biggest zogger. But dere's alwayz, alwayz a bigga zogger, Uggrim. Jus' the way it goez. Yoo be kareful. Dat Mogrok's top mek round 'ere. Yoo rile 'im up, it'll be trouble for all of us. Yoo wanna play at bein' king, yoo go ahead, but we'z gotta find us a diff'rent Waaagh! if so. It ain't so bad 'ere. Look at it all. It's a 'citin' to be part of"
"Yoo changed yor chune"
"Yeah," said Snikgob. "Well payz to keep a pozzytiv attitude, don't it?"
*adds to private museum*
Post stereotypes
Yeh, zactly like dat, it seems mor aufentink n all, not like some posh git 'avin a laff at da lads expense an scarperin' off wifhout takin 'is kickin'.
Finishing up painting the Custodes my gf got me. Mostly doing Sigmar things and Sigmar purchases and got Sigmar games lined up this weekend. I want to play more games with my Bullgryn Deathstar in 40k though.
When are we expecting the Space Wolves codex again?
Well the SoB sub stereotype is wrong at last
I think you got them all pretty much covered.
All kinds of rumors. Probably gonna be after summer.
like this?
are you that one user that has a massive hate boner for guard
perfect
To be 'onest, I kan see 'ow writin' like dat for an entire novel cud get eksorstin' for da writa an' per'aps distraktin' for da reada.
'Speshully since we mostly read by rekognizein' da shape of wordz an' not conshushly identifyin' each letta.
Yoo zog around too much wiv da shape of wordz an' da book'll take twice as long to read as it ought.
I never had the impression Angron had much of a choice. He was fucked over from the beginning and just wanted a simple warrior death alongside his brothers...
Actually I remember writing a play once which had a Scottish character. To help the actor I wrote certain words phonetically in the way I wanted the accent to sound. Turns out I'd fucked the actor over because actually having to stop and read the letters was a nightmare for his dyslexia, usually he'd just make the sound he'd learnt to associate with the overall shape of the word.
Hmm, that's kind of what I was worrying about with the Mars Alphas. Though I don't plan on ever ordering any plastic recasts themselves since they're not so expensive that I can't support my FLGS by buying my plastics there. Hoping the sides on the Russ's are fine.
Spend a couple days searching around. Google exists.
does cellistene have the FLY keyword? or are the huge fucking wings just decoration?
writin' ork speek fun tho innit
zog I jus' rem'ber'd I kant read koz I'm an ork
holkhuig gyiuh8tk
what happens if you use the strategem that lets you heal a wound on a vehicle but prohibits it from moving on a vehice with a minimum movement?
CRASH AND BURN.
it explodes
Wait, what? Isn't that daemon Abbadon's sword? Like, the implication being that Abbadon - someday - is going to kill the Emperor with his super-sword?
Yeah plus actors really appreciate it when you give them room to be creative
well shit.
She does, of course.
MRB, page 177: "If a model cannot make
its minimum move, or is forced to move
off the battlefield because of its minimum
speed, it is destroyed and removed from
the battlefield – the model has either
stalled and crashed or been forced to
abandon the battle"
Forgeworld is better, they have a larger admech range. With Transports.
Which interestingly means it does NOT crash and burn, since it wasn't reduced to 0 wounds, it was just destroyed. You still have to roll as normal for any eventual passengers, though.
Preview when?
Give your mother her credit card back this instant
About an hour
Probably within an hour or two.
Oh god, the Triaros...that model with it's Giger aesthetics makes me all warm and tingly.
Cool, have fun being locked into 30kuck with all but 1 of your units
Yep. Definitely going to be picking a chingchong pair when I get my tax returns. Probably a Macrocarid too.
Or should I get two Macrocarid and one Triaros? Hmm
what are some good cheap anchors for scions? i'm doing a list thats basically 100% deepstrike squads and flyers and feel like it will probably be super easy to "table"
admech shit really knows how to toe the line of looking awesome without getting into cringy steampunk territory
