IMPERIAL ARMOUR 2, WARMACHINES OF THE ADEPTUS ASTARTES.

Nigger, it's literally one of the already available supplements. Just grab that book and run either of the two in 40k in your space marine armies. They're essentially moth-balled relics that the chapter brings into combat if the need arises.

>Once per game, at the start of any of your turns, you can choose a friendly character on the battlefield that is from an Alpha Legion Detachment or Formation and has the same unit type as your Warlord. Swap the position of this model with that of your Warlord.

Does this mean he could swap with an Aspiring Champion or a Cultist Champion? If so, would the Champion then become an independent character? Would he count as joining a unit the Warlord swapped out of? Would he become his own unit? Really needs clarification

>Haha I'm going to crush this stupid aspiring champion
>Suddenly pimped out warlord shows up

Top kek.
>>
>>51993303
Well as far as I know, that's actually an easier issue to resolve. You switch the exact positions of the models, so if you swapped your Warlord into a combat, he'd be in base contact with an enemy model and count as being locked in combat with them, and the guy you swapped out would no longer be in combat unless he was the champ of the unit that was locked there, in which case he'd move 3" every assault phase until he reached the combat again... At least he wouldn't be able to be shot, and if you're really really sneaky could steal an objective that happened to lie in his path while he made his way over.
>>
>>51993309
An """""optimal""""" build isn't really your priority, since the optimal way to build your =I= dudes is to keep them cheap.

Crimson Fists are Imperial Fists without the yellow. They even share the same emblems. Alternatively, invent an IF successor chapter.
>>
>>51993244
They managed to force it for lords of war and battle companies etc. Because God forbid you want to reasonably field Dante without spending over 300 points.

Chances are their new primarch won't be able to share a field with the smurfs chapter master with LoW rules as they are.

>enemy just stands there watching as a chaos champion slowly inches their way across the battlefield in proper dueling stance

Also, I don't think he could snag an objective due to being in assault. Realistically though, any HQ you dump in that fight is going to end it pretty quickly, which means you're back to the two squads needing to dash back to meet up with each-other.

Also, could this be used with that one Warpsmith formation that allows you to take a Maulerfiend/Helbrute as a character?

>>51991991
>So they've got Necron durability
For a significantly higher PPM cost, yeah. It's not like FNP MEQ's aren't widely available for cheaper or like those MEQ's are particularly great. I could see making it only kick in on failed armor, to ensure that anti-MEQ weaponry is still more effective against them, and to, in a roundabout way, account for the inability of automatons to hide behind cover.
>Have most of a helldrake's main gun in each of their squads
The Exalted Flamer weapons. WC2 means it has a significant opportunity cost.
> Better Cultists than Cultists
For 7 PPM versus 4 PPM. If you just want cheap bodies, Cultists are still the better choice, especially with their formation.
> Get the strongest upgrade in their book for free
Pretty much. It's still got a hefty tax requirement.
> And get the strongest thing Chaos currently has.
The Warband is not the strongest thing Chaos has, and it's not like you can't already take a Thousand Sons warband. Death Guard marines would still be significantly more durable and mobile.
>>
>>51993424
>I don't think he could snag an objective due to being in assault
He can. Being locked in combat doesn't impact your ability to hold objectives.

>yfw the edgy slow-walking champ has objsec and just steals the objective from the opponent's elites choice, who are too fucking terrified to even shoot him

It can always get worse.
>>
>>51993361
It's very hard to make a fluffy warband that's not also a points-sink that accomplishes nothing.
>>
>>51993492
Exactly. My point was that if you build for fluff you're going to end up with a squad that's very confused as to what its role is supposed to be and therefore will probably underperform.
Unless its fluff is just a team of stormtroopers or something.
>>
>>51993434
It'll only get better if they get someone who actually likes Orks to write the rules. It isn't simply a matter of landing in the middle of a period where overpowered rules are getting made. The poor excuse for an Ork Decurion is a perfect example.

It'd probably be a bit better now if Traitor Legions is anything to go off of, since that was rather well done, but the Ork codex would need more than that sort of patchjob.
>>
>>51993434
>Let's say GW announced a new ork codex tomorrow. Would that be good or just make things worse?

Infinitely worse because we're right at the end of an edition. Which means we once again get left behind in the dust once 8th hits and stabilizes, and GW figures out how to write codices for it.

You want your codex to come out around the mid-point of an edition. If you're near the end or beginning, it's bad news. The Ork 5th ed codex came out at the end of 4th, and our 7th ed codex was the first of 7th.

Well, it's a nice game and probably the only one where Orks can actually shine. Not because they're particularly good or anything, just because the kids play either LSM or CSM, while you can have/need actually competent teammates with orks.
>>
Is there any way to make melee CSM terminators work?
>>
>>51993502
Yeah. Over a long time of playing inquisition with things, I've grown to accept that 5E GK book forward, inquisitorial retinues will never be both cool AND useful at the same time. After many games of incrementally reducing the cost and list impact of a henchmen squad I decided I'd rather have a unit on the field that does cool things than just looks cool.

Which, IMO - chambers militant is the way to go. Terminator Malleus with GK terminators, nade and blade or conversion beamer Xenos with choppy or snipey Deathwatch respectively, or Hereticus with sisters of a personal flavor choice.

Tempestus are fine too, especially now that you can join them in a valkyrie (and are my personal choice)

40k in a nutshell.

Because 97% of all traitors are flaming curbstomping faggots who don't even have ATSKNF, 90-95% of which have never reached a higher tier than Chaos Space Marine. Very few throughout the millenia have ever reached warlord or higher, and of those a much higher percentage were killed or turned into spawns than those who succeeded to become Daemon Princes.

And daemon ascension is a career dead end anyway. They'll never surpass a Daemon Primarch or a named Greater Daemon.

>>51993788

Eldar have always been strong, their exclusive player base (why would you do this when you can have one of each faction and level them up equally) moans and pisses itself whenever they change or buff any other faction. The fact is, there aren't a lot of Eldar players, and most are extremely unskilled and extremely arrogant because 'muh space elven superiority lore reasons lolol mon'keigh = monkey so funneh xD' is all the fuel they need to wave their dicks around.

I say this as an exclusive LSM player who has dealt with the lion's share of newbie idiots dragging me to defeat after defeat across 300+ hours of play time.

I switched to Eldar for the last campaign, and a second time this campaign post-rebalance patch. Eldar are horrifyingly strong. Their players are either newbies or terrible regulars. The team killing is rampant. No one heals or resurrects you. Healers will still try to run into melee despite ranged lethality going up. No one kills vehicles. Everyone tries to play for KDR and personal XP, not winning the match. Some people will afk and bitch all match instead of actually playing, a sight I rarely ever seen on the other three factions, because you didn't do one specific task they demanded immediately like a good little lapdog.

But their classes? Fragile, but fast as fuck, have crazy hard hitboxes to land a hit on, they basically dominate melee because of how fast and powerful their classes hit while also having very difficult to read animations and lots of iframes on their dodges, which also have huge distances they cover. Their dakka is amazing. Their mobility is amazing. Their choppy is amazing. Their 'fragility' matters little with how fast and hard they go.

Basically, the players suck shit and have proved it time and time again when they fail campaigns and basic teamwork like this.

Plus, eldar by far have the lowest population in the game, so you know the team playing eldar likely has at least a few players who are talking on VOIP, and the rest of them at least know what theyre doing.

If anyone is on the fence about Eternal Crusade, I recommend getting it. I have about 120 hours, and I enjoy it. The balance is acceptable (except for eldar), the netcode isn't amazing but at least it functions fine, the maps are unpolished but all of them are fun, the characterization and animations are well done... overall its an enjoyable time. It does NOT hold up the the initial promises, but I say it's worth the price of admission (if there even is a price anymore).

Ha ha ha yeah I call bullshit on that. These retards are WAY worse than the Orks and LSM. The amount of teamkilling and lack of coordination on Eldar is unreal. Its like all their guilds gave up and died even before the last campaign started.

Its amazing because their faction is fun and strong imo. I don't see how they are losing besides boredom.
>>
>>51993872
Heavy Bolter can do wonders against them in defensive situations, when you can just shoot into a mass of them, from what I know from my CSM experience. Playing against Eldar as an Ork is suffering though. Only good teammates make it even wothwhile to stay for a second round against them.

>>51993882

Mechanicum merged MKVIII armor with dreadnought parts to create the ultimate battle life support machine in the form of a weapon that can surpass Metal Gear. Aeldari bailed the humans out of a tough bind and got them to Ultarmar so that Guilliman can get his upgrade and stop the Imperium from total collapse. Guilliman will now lead the Ultramar domain once again and will now have to jam his righteous fist into the faces of all of the daemon primarchs.

>>Eldar are fucking broken, don't suffer from their ostensible weaknesses, and are held back only by the incompetence of their playerbase
>>Orks are bro-tier
>>SM/CSM are played by casual COD kiddies and are by far the most populous faction with the lowest average skill level

CSM only ever dominated because they had a handful of laughably broken weapons. Post-nerf? They're middle of the pack right next to LSM.
>>
>>51993932

Yeah, you need to spray suppression everywhere, plasma, toss grenades, and in general avoid melee even if its a Dire Avenger or Fire Dragon.

Just dbash them if they go for the knife and then put some bolter rounds in their skull for being a dumb ass.

Read again anon. I'm glad it was nerfed. Nothing worse than a bunch of dudes spamming their Gravguns or Space Wolves and their flaming Crozius.

Grav is still kind of scary as a space elf, at least a the melee ones and Fire Dragons.

>>51993538
Nope. Independent character is a special rule, not a unit type. If you look at the unit type for the HQs, it's just Infantry (Character). Good times!

How are Raptors? I'm thinking about getting it, and I'm curious because I'm sadly a NL player but we can't mention that here anymore. I've always loved Jump Infantry on the table, but I usually ran as a Tac Marine in Space Marine.

Jump assault got raped hard. They're make of paper mache now and die like a bitch. You REALLY need to play up the hit-and-run style of gameplay, and even then..

They're less bad if you use up your one Veteran slot and take a veteran jump assault marine, but you could have used it for a Tactical or Havoc or Chosen instead.

Also no Lightning Claws in the game yet. Enjoy your power fists and chainswords.

Truescale like that is still way too large. They should be about a head size larger than the Guardsmen models, and nothing more.

>>51994198

They stand taller when they aren't squatting to take a shit like in all the old plastic sculpts. Try comparing the Forge World 30k Marines to a Cadian model, you get about the scale you want. Personally? I wish their heads were smaller, that or the torsos longer, so they felt less like deformed children and more like power armored giants.

At least I'll be pretending I'm part of my legion? Still, sounds rough. I'll try it out, though.

>They're less bad if you use up your one Veteran slot and take a veteran jump assault marine, but you could have used it for a Tactical or Havoc or Chosen instead.
I'd probably end up playing a Tac or Chosen anyway. I assume the difference is Chosen are more melee oriented?

They don't get shields but they have Chaos Marks. So for Khorne that means lifesteal but no healing from Sorcs, Nurgle is huge toughness/HP bonuses and blight bombs, Slaanesh is like +15-20% increased movement speed and Tzeentch is less HP but nearly doubles your armor recharge rate and has lots of good sorcerer bonuses.

Its more of a matter of whether or not a person is a fan of a faction. (while adequate enough not to go Grey knight initial cheese level)

>>51993509 has the right idea. Whoever wrote 7th edition codex and thought that Mob rule, was fluffy and fun to use has no idea how orks should function. (or Killakanz suffering from LD, or no saves for melee race or no way to improve orky I, list goes on)

Give it to a person who cares about orks and you'll have a good codex. I found 2 ork rewrites, one made by space odin and other by dr. zoidberg on dakka dakka, they both make a great work at fixing ork problems (although zoidberg's codex might be dangerously close to cheese zone at times)

Reminder that pic related has a sweet melody which suits them perfectly now

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=IUGzY-ihqWc&feature=share [Open]

FAQ:
>Dubstep is gay lol?
Dubstep suits many chaotic factions as it is fairly chaotic
Also this song is hardly Dubstep

>I listened to three seconds and I thought it was shit?
No, you are shit. Try lasting longer than you do in bed next time, before giving a review

>If this music isn't to my personal taste, does that mean it is the wrong song for the Night Lords?
No

>ITS NOT METAL I CAN SHAKE MY NECKBEARD TO????
Metal music doesn't suit chaos, this isn't the 80s. The Night Lords have evolved a lot in the last 8-10 years, so get on board or fuck off. Metal only really suits World Eaters, even then, probably Hardcore.

>My Emps Children love the shit metal though!!!
No, your structured music would bore them to death. Please read current fluff, not your 80s shit

>LOL LOOK MY SHIT SONG ABOUT BATS OR LIGHTNING IS FUNNY
*Pat pat* nice original joke, friend

>Does the above point apply for any of my other "funny" song ideas?
Yes.

>I know more about music than you because that is brostep, not dubstep
Doesn't change the fact that it is the correct song for the Night Lords

>Why did you word that first sentence weirdly?
Because people thought they were clever with their spam filter

>You are getting less (you)s than ever, I thought that is why you do this?
No, it just proves how perfected my FAQ is.

>Is Curze a Demon Primarch, and true Prophet of the 8th?
Yes.

Space Marine rules are an order of magnitude above human in almost all stats, plus have substantially better equipment than a guardsman. That is completely fluff accurate.

What isn't fluff accurate is just politely taking turns standing around taking 20 Lasgun shots to the face. Marines are special ops, and should try to avoid open field stand and shoot engagements such as the entire tabletop game revolves around.

Also unfluffy: Half to an entire company fighting in one small area on more than the most desperate situations.

Finally, it doesn't really help that Tactical marines are a sacred cow from the rogue trader era that basically leads to marines who have completed three full tours of duty as a scout, assault marine and devastator standing about completely underequipped with a Bolter and a combat knife.

50, but it's open topped (shoot and charge out of it) and has a twin linked autocannon and a heavy stubber.

Also Rhinos being cheap-ass boxes with a stormbolter doesn't exactly make the marines look good as an elite organisation.

I dunno, the truck still seems better even in fluff. Rugged all-terrain environment-sealed mining truck with a stable firing platform and a mount for a heavy weapon.

The only weakness is it's pilots are BS3 scrubs and the side armour isn't as reinforced as a military vehicle would be.

Since the bloody system is d6 you don't get much variance. Ideally a d100 but since this a wargame with lots of different shits shooting it is hard to do.
A middle ground would be a d10 enough room to make it more varied and not get silly like a d20 or d100

>or Killakanz suffering from LD

See, this is something I'm actually somewhat conflicted on. Their 5th edition fluff (which was when they were changed to having Grot pilots) says that they commonly would stand around stunned in combat or even waddle away because their basic Grot cowardice was still there, despite them being inside a 10 foot tall killing machine. In that light, the Cowardly Grots rule is very fluffy.

The issue as I see it is that GW gave that rule to Kans AND upped their points cost AND nerfed their melee weapons. If you made Kans cheap, reflecting their worse rules, then honestly I'd have no issue with the rule. What really hurts is the ludicrous price tag of the unit.

And who exactly keeps figuring that the elite Nob units in Ork lists should do WORSE on Mob Rule needs a clobberin'. It should go off of number of wounds for starters, it should be D3 hits at most, and it shouldn't be a random table. You just select whichever option you want. In close combat? You're not running. Orks love fighting too much. Got a character in the unit? He'll sort the gitz out. Lots of Orks in the unit? They'll have a bit of biff and then stop muckin' about. Orks inflicting wounds on themselves to pass LD checks is fluffy and reasonable in an army that is supposed to have cheap options so you don't care too much when models are removed. It's just once again the rules aren't reflecting that.

Chosen have 2 attacks base, a bolter, a pistol and a CCW. up to 4 can take power weapons, special weapons or lightning claws (even dual), and one can take an addtional heavy weapon or special weapon.

>Q: How do the models/units with mixed Factions work? Can units that share at least one Faction start the game embarked on a Transport?
>A: Ynnari models have two Factions (except in the case of Yvraine, the Visarch and the Yncarne, who only have one). You must consider both of their Factions to determine their levels of Alliance and which Transports they may be embarked on at the beginning of the game. For example, an Eldar/Ynnari unit shares the same Factions as other Eldar/Ynnari, but is of different Factions from (though Battle Brothers with) Dark Eldar/Ynnari and Harlequins/Ynnari. An Eldar/Ynnari unit can therefore only begin the game embarked if it is embarked on an Eldar/Ynnari vehicle. Note that Yvraine and the Visarch can begin the game embarked on Ynnari vehicles (regardless of those vehicles’ other Factions).

How does Blessing of Tzeentch interact with Blessings that only affect one model in the unit (say Iron Arm on a Scarab Occult Sorcerer), affect some models in the unit (say Telekine Dome affecting half of a Scarab Occult unit), and Blessings that don't target directly but still affect the entire unit (say Telekine Dome affecting an entire Scarab Occult unit). A less ambiguous one would be how Blessing of Tzeentch interacts with effects that cancel out blessings, like a Culexus Assassin's null aura.

The issue with Favored of Tzeentch is whether it only functions as long as the formation contains nine units. Basically, does it turn off once one unit is killed, like with the Predator/Vindicator squadron bonuses. The wording for the "favored number" benefits in the Plague Colony and Kakophoni are worded differently such that the starting formation size matters.

The issue with Siphon Magic is when the bonus dice go away and whether a psyker procs his own Siphon Magic. In the case of Ahriman and Magnus, that's potentially an extra 3 or 4 Warp Charge.

They get to fight back if they leave a non-operational vehicle by their own power, they don't if they are flung out of the exploding hull.

I get thevdouble-faction one. They get an extra faction that makes them applicable for rules using that facrion but still keep their original faction as well, meaning they have different factions internally.

I agree, and the precedent they just set with the Ynnarri "7+ units for double Soulburst" rule supports it.

>siphon proccing on the cast itself is dubious at best
It's not whether the Siphon Magic procs itself (which it shouldn't), it's whether the same casters later spells will proc his own Siphon Magic. RAW it definitely does, but I've seen people argue against it for RAI "reasons."

>Blessing works even if only one model is affected of course
I want it to work like that, but I don't think there's a solid RAW argument for it. Logically it should work like that, but 40K rules and logic rarely intersect.

Hello, new player here. I am working on an army list for space marines, I'd like to use the imperial fists chapter with Lysander as an HQ.

I have the codex and rulebook, and have a hand written list of what I'd like to use. It's incomplete, but I'd like some feedback.

What's the best way to upload it? Just a straight picture of my notebook?
>>
>>51996520

So either Gulliman is stupid op or he's going to get his face pushed through his face.

Seriously, Skarbrand might be a footslogging monstrous creature, but in hand to hand he just kinda breaks everything.

Skarbrand is nasty, sure, but Guilliman won't have to be that powerful in order to take him on. Guilliman will probably be wounding on a 3+ or a 2+ and will have a better Invulnerable save. One of Skarbrand's strong-points (all his attacks have ID) will be completely negated by EW.

Tyranids - 1510pts.jpg
127KB, 900x801px
Hey guys. Ran this list yesterday. Here's how it went:
Opponent played Blood Angels:
Dante in a unit of Sanguinary Guard and a Sanguinary Priest.
A combat-squaded unit of Grav Devs in a Drop Pod
2 tac squads in Rhinos with an allied Ministorum priest each.
1 storm raven with multimeltas, asscans, storm bolters.

I deployed first and got first turn. BAs null-deployed.
Only notable thing that happened in my turn 1 is that my First Curse left the board to enter Ongoing Reserves.

On the opponent's turn 1, he deep struck his drop pod full of Devs into the center of my formation, as expected. They Grav'd the Exocrine to death, but barely.

Moving forward, the First curse would show up on the board another 1 or 3 times, but rolled really bad on the cult ambush table and didn't do a damn thing, sadly. These guys usually do pretty well for me.

~turn 4, after corking itself, having spawned about 30 gants, the tervigon charged one of his rhinos. Unfortunately, his Disintegrator marine fired overwatch and one-shotted it, which took most of my gants out with it. From there it was a clean up for him. The remaining gants got swept up, and an untouched First Curse died while in Ongoing reserves as the game ended.
My biggest mistake was returning the First Curse to the Shadows on what would become the penultimate turn, however, I had 3 MCs on the table at the time, with like 10 wounds between them, so I wasn't expecting to get tabled, and the First Curse had 3 victory points to gain by showing up in the right place.

>I want it to work like that, but I don't think there's a solid RAW argument for it. Logically it should work like that, but 40K rules and logic rarely intersect.
Well RAW it works like that 100%. A unit is affected by a blessing if one model is affected. If i have 5 sheep and set a sheep on fire, would you say my sheep are the same as before?

Until they faq thats how i play, and since i get my ass stomped every fucking time i play 1ks i would probably stop playing if BoT stopped working on any blessing other than endurance and invis... i mean not even force would work (nah m8 it only affects their weapon hurrr)

Magnus should also be stuck in the warp for a thousand years. It seems they've tossed out banishment limits and daemons just instantly respawn now.

No, that's the barrier between reality and the warp.
Daemons cannot exist in reality unless they break that barrier.

Daemon recovery time always varies depending on how they were banished. Time also moves differently in the warp so 10,000 years recovery in the warp could only be a few days in real space.

They didn't show the generic rules on the left hand side of his stat block, the conditions that make his sword D or his points cost.

I really hope that what they've shown isn't all he's got.
Because if he has absolutely none of the stuff that FW prinarchs get, then GW dropped the ball really badly on this one.
Right now he just looks like a decent beat stick, but not anywhere close to what a primarch should be.
He can't even join regular SM since he's and MC.

>>51996868

Guess he needed Smash when his close combat weapons are already 10/1 armourbane.

Or it's purely to signify he's a dread now, either or.

He has 6 command traits, makes everyone on the battlefield reroll leadership and buffs Ultramarines. What do you want, his model to double as a fleshlight?

>The boy was seven or thereabouts. Like his father, he had little idea of his true age. The seasons of a moon-world are complex and not easy to reconcile with the rhythms of Terra, a place far distant from their thoughts in any case. The home of the undying God-Emperor, Terra was to them a mythical world beyond conception. Nevertheless, their bodies remembered. Their unthinking genes had yet to throw off the stamp of their birthplace. Man was not made to survive on the Baalite trio. A genetic code forged over millions of years had had scant thousands to adapt to this hellish place, and frantically drove the creatures it made to reproduce before it was terminally compromised. Already the harsh environment had set its claws into the boy, eroding his features almost quicker than they could form. Life was short for the Baalites. They instinctively felt that it was not meant to be so and sorrowed, though they did not know why.

>Their mortal shells yearned for the ease of a world that had ceased to exist millennia since. Old Earth was gone, and Terra as dry and dead as Baal Secundus. In those terrible times there were only deserts for men to inhabit. Deserts that had been made from paradises.

The Blood Angels felt the same hardship that the Necrontyr felt ages in the past. Is this coincidence that the GW made the Angels be allies to the Necrons?

Are you illiterate? He gets the Command traits. The ones in the BRB. Basically a bunch of 12" auras. Rerolls of 1 to hit for friendlies, everybody gets to use his LD, Move through Cover, +1" to runs and charges, and enemies test on their lowest-in-unit leadership.

So it sounds like he's just a modified version of 30k rules. assuming he's got stuff like EW he'll be pretty good. Could make for some quite powerful lists, depending on his cost.

Bit confused what it means though when it says "all ultramarine models" are affected by his use of the doctrines. Does that mean just one with CT:UM, or does that include viehcles, or what? Outside of stuff like demi-company, doctrines always affect all UM models don't they? Or have I been playing the game wrong for a while now?

The above poster illustrates exactly the problem. The GW staff have made it clear they favour narrative gaming over all else, and the narrative they've been pushing about Primarchs for years now is that they're unstoppable masturbatory superbeings.

To a GW writer's warped perspective, you're supposed to -absolutely love it- when Gulliman stomps your army into a crater, because the narrative is Gulliman wins and you're there to experience the joy of that narrative being forged.

Use shit that can actually counter powerful models, like death stars, super heavies, GCs, massed fire from stuff like grav or scat bikes or riptides.
Is Guilliman powerful? Yes, of course he fucking is. So is a warlord titan, a wraithknight a greater daemon, a knight or a baneblade. Sure they aren't all on the same level, but guess what, some things are more powerful than others. Sure not everything is costed as they should be (looking at you WK), but it's not like bringing a powerful unit automatically makes you win.
Maybe you should try actually playing tha game, and countering powerful stuff with other powerful stuff instead of crying like a bitch ass nigger because "boohoo, why did GW make primarchs powerful?"

Definitely agree. I'm tired of all these super star characters to be honest. I want more characters that change up how an army is played, not some super star death machine that makes all the betas wet with envy and "admiration". Characters like this are best suited for BL books or blurbs in a codex. They are ill suited for being on the table.

There are people here that legitimately think Space Marines are super cool, and they are the same people that want to now play Marines or Ultramarines because of girlyman coming out. I always thought it was a bit of a joke that we were all in on, but it's not. There are tons of legitimate people here who like this stuff.

Perfect analogy.

There's nothing really wrong with the personalities of the Primarchs, but they really wrote themselves into a corner of perpetual dullness with the power level wanking.

Treat Girlyman as a Knight, because he'll be a LOW. And he has the durability of a Riptide. (T6, 2+, 3++)

I think a particular problem there is that it's one huge unit so you're only getting one roll on the ambush table, whereas with a full army has loads of units deploying via cult ambush so bad rolls are more forgiving.

Its no coincidence that where Eldrad and Fulgrim failed to avert cataclysm, Yvraine and Celestine succeeded and will continue to succeed. If the Aeldari can comply with the Imperium, Guilliman will be all for it.

>My issue is with GW and their fanboys constantly crying "narrative" whenever anyone criticizes their shoddy rules and abysmal balance.
Except it's not really abysmal balance as far as we've seen. He's got some neat stuff, but it doesn't look to be anywhere close to as bad as magnus, let alone shit like riptides, grav or WK.
GW gave us a primarch, and he's got good rules. People are happy about this, because a primarch should have good rules. And you're pissed off because people are saying "yes he has good rules, he's one of the greatest warriors ever" because apparently a primarch shouldn't be powerful in your mind.

Yeah, I'm in my 20's ex-mil, and I love the idea of HeroHammer. It's fun to me. It reminds me of all the cool heroes I used to play in Warcraft 3 and how much fun that mechanic was. I love the idea of a game that's 2 superhumans, or daemons, or nightmares, or demigods meeting on the battlefield with their personal armies going at it. That excites me more than 100 faceless soldiers and maybe some Captain strolling to battle, like they do everyday forever. 40k is really monotonous without a little HeroHammer.

See that's the thing. Gulliman is by Primarch standards, not much of a warrior.

And that doesn't show, because Primarchs are so FUCKIN HYPE DEMIGODS that he's still a far better warrior than any other person. It literally doesn't matter he's not a top warrior Primarch unless he goes and fist fights Russ.

Good god shut the fuck up. The explicitly said in the WD that they wanted to adress the fact that they wanted to show him as a warrior.
They literally said "it's easy to think of other primarchs like russ or angron as warriors, but never forget that the statesmanlike guilliman is a demigod of battle"

I object to giant deathstars for the same reason.

>>51997818

I prefer not using named characters myself unless I've converted a model and are counts-asing the rules, but I do like fighting the reasonable heroes like Dante and Draigo, and the 30k Primarchs because killing them with my glorious metal men for the Omnissiah is both fun, fluffy and generates lots of salt.

40k is not this. Even the smaller battles on the tabletop are part of larger operations or machinations of the setting.
If you're fighting Guilliman in a smaller game, maybe he just showed up to help out some dudes who are fighting a nearby battle and he's hoofing it to them. Or maybe he's on some secret quest with a small hand-picked retinue. I think where 40k struggles narratively is that as players we want to say that what's happening on the table the the whole battle, when in reality, it's usually just a small piece on the border of a more epic thing.

I fully understand what you don't like. But what you don't like is something that is inherent to the setting.

I think where 40k struggles narratively the complete and utter lack of mechanics for promoting narrative play. Random warlord traits, random psychic powers, no ongoing campaign system with persistent homebrew characters, minimal differentiation available for "your dudes" in most factions, an objective system that's basically schizophrenic Simon says ("QUICK, cast a psychic power Mr. Tau!"), etc.

When GW says "narrative," they basically just mean "things happen." It's a meaningless buzzword they throw out to justify their ineptitude and apathy.
>>
>>51998028
I do see your point, but different battles are fluffed differently. I had a 30k tourney the other day about fighting for literally one spaceship, and my Mechanicum had to fight Zone Mortalis against Mortarion, Typhon and Durak Rask, which is basically every commander of the Death Guard who has rules. That stings, and it makes no sense whatsoever. Not everything is a giant Apoc battle of doom.

True, and I haven't had the problem much, but my one character's model is over-complicated as hell. I'll need to make an ArchMagos Biologis to be my Cawl, and I'll drop an extra 100pts onto the price and call it fairish.

Well, even ignoring that that has only applied since the heresy novels started coming out and showed us the Primarchs for real rather than as figures of myth...

Isn't that less than 1/10th of an average eldar lifetime, though? in the grand scheme of 40k, that's no time at all. If it fractured in 999M41, it could be back up and running by 100M42. There are IG who have been on campaigns that lasted longer than that.

So which is it? Is he claiming that Guilliman isn't a warrior, or is he saying that he doesn't like it. Both of these shitposts of yours can't be true.

You cannot regrow it from nothing, the constituent ships have left, the infinity circuit is dead, most of the populace scatted, there is nothing to rebuild.

Wraithbone takes time and effort to grow into shape.

Wraithwarriors is literally Necromancy and is only done in extremely dire circumstances, it take a souls from the safety of the infinity circuit and return it to the world of pain and turmoils at risk of being devoured should the wraithform be slain and the stone destroyed.

To the Eldar it's taboo comparable to cannibalism, consuming the dead to feed the living.

GW expects you to houserule all that other shit though you dip, since even if they did create systems for those various things people would just bitch about those and "why didn't you do thing instead fucking kikes"

>>51998126

It's still bad news as it's pretty much end-game point right about now, but I am surprised how negligible the damage to Biel-tan was considering they got a literal God in return for it.
>>
>>51998133
>safety of the infinity circuit
If Biel-Tan can blow up and scatter it's stored souls to the wind, they're really no safer in the circuits than they are actually fighting to retake some ground. If the Eldar were pragmatic enough to go full-necromancer, they'd have the crone worlds back as soon as they could grow the wraiths to take them.

How about you actually read the book?

I'm not too mad about RG being death, since any moderate CC character would already walk through Admech armies like nothing, but why does he have Preferred Enemy Chaos? He's not really fought them much, has he? Not too up on Marine lore, probably missing something.

How on earth can you not see what that adds to the setting? The primarchs being figures of unstoppable power and unequaled prowess emphasizes how fucked the imperium is: thousands of years ago gods walked amongst men, and there was no problems. Then they fought, and things started to go to shit. Now the gods are dead or gone, and mans survives only due to their genius, in spite of the imperium's idiocy.
The primarchs being so powerful is the same thing as the DAoT having amazing tech: man once was fine, and that time is gone now. They have beings who could save them from their problems, but until booby G came back all man could do was hope and pray something would happen.
The primarchs being god like empahsizes the GC as an age of myth when all was fine, and shows how fucked things have become.

>hey buy an $85 rulebook, a $50 codex, and a $35 supplement for your army
>oh, and you're supposed to houserule everything anyways, but we don't actually tell you this or give you any guidelines about it
Provide support, from a source that isn't the blog of a team entirely unrelated to the rules team, that we're intended to be extensively houseruling this shit. You can't, but, even if you could, it wouldn't matter. That doesn't excuse shit rules.

Except he's not that much more powerful than his old version, except for the fact thst he's got the emperors sword. Being able to put interceptor on all grav devs would he far better than the command traits.

For fuck sakes they DO mobilise every single wraith. READ THE BOOK.

I know that it's my headcanon, but I would've loved if instead of being Elf Ninjas in Space, Eldar's lines would be almost exclusively Wraith constructs with a couple Level 3-5 Psykers with hella crazy powers.

Living Eldar are too precious to risk, besides the Spiritseers that lead the Wraiths and maybe a Farseer (as a Lord of War) when things need a good skullfucking

Oh, yeah. I just thought "He wasn't at Terra, was he?"
Missed that.

I do hope at some point we get some Admech characters that do more interesting things than fail at Pylons, follow Celestine around like a puppy and then make the UM even more irritating.
I hold that the reason Guilliman is more powerful in straight up CC is that Cawl made him some bitching armour, same as Russ from the Heresy. He's clearly lost some of his strategic skills.
>>
>>51998186

That doesn't change a damn thing honestly. It kinda works on a symbolic level if you squint, but the important part is that it was an enlightened age of reason and reunification, and all it's ideals were tossed down the drain after the central leadership was decapitated.

Mankind was on the fast track to rebuilding the golden age, but maybe no murderbot rebellions this time.

Besides, the Primarchs had all too human personalities. All their physicality changes is how good they are at punching things.

Yeah it's easy to forget he spent the whole time pounding daemons and word bearers into the dirt. I do like that they're making that a character trait he's got. All full of guilt that he's the only survivor.

No, it's not for everyone.

>>51998396
I don't think the ultramarines player had much experience with D weapons. Unless you use knights, space marines don't really have it in the army.
>>
>>51998396
What happened?
>>
>>51998394
In actual game, Skarbrand can run around murdering his army while Guilliman pathetically slogs around.

Plus actual Bloodthirster would also have D's. Not to mention that he only 1hko'd Skar because he got lucky on the roll, otherwise they would both walk away with single wound a piece.

>>51998424
they rolled skarbrand's invulnerable save before figuring out the result of the D hit

Reminder that the weakest Primarch beat the Strongest greater daemon of Khorne. Sanguinius, who was one of the strongest primarchs, beat an average bloodthirster easily
