Warhammer 40,000 General /40kg/

kek is the empror

Toxinspike or prehensile pincer for a trygon/trygon prime?

With the probable importance of using psykers in 8th ed and having AdMech army, I thought about easiest way of getting fluffy warp charges.
Least pricey way I found was fielding multiple Psykana Divisons consisting only of one astropath.
And to make it fluffy I thought of modeling him basically as jar with psyker brain with some stuff around, maybe gun, sensors, whatever.
Question is hoe to build it. The threads of Kataphrons are way to bid for model that should be on smallest base (and to pricey).
But I do have friend with 3D printer which is nowhere close to required detail, but could serve to print base frame that could be enhanced by cut-off bits from other models/green stuff
Thing is, I started modelling some stuff in fusion360 and after some 4 hours of work, I have hardly acceptable.
Have anyone tried something like this? Or is there better way? I would like to avoid sculpting from scratch, I do not have much trust in myself.
Also this method of 3d printing stuff proved very useful, I have modelled the cylinder thing for weapon emplacement on Dunecrawler so now I can swap weapons without magnetizing.
>last thread ended during writing this, I am apparently not good enough even for posting

So, Numarines. Now we know why our Spiritual Liege was at GW HQ.

They certainly want you to think so. Odds are it's going to be AOS 2.0, if it isn't then praise to New Games Workshop but you'd have to be an idiot to get hyped before you've read the whole rulebook and seen the balance between all factions.

>>53049558
What's wrong with AOS, mechanically? Most people complain about the fluff.

With the whole idea of command abilities, what do you think some of the different armies will get? I have a few ideas, mostly for different traitor legions and stuff.
>Thousand Sons get destiny dice
>World Eaters get blood tithe
>Emperor's Children gets something like a pool of dice that, when activated acts (fluffwise) as a hypnotizing song that forces movement so enemies move D6" closer, helping negate cover and get to combat faster
>Death Guard get to try reviving x units into plague zombies
>Night Lords get to force a leadership test + x, or maybe penetrate fearless?
>Necrons can try reviving some basic infantry units by forcing a post mortem reainmation protocols

>>53049650
People think it's too sinple and yet still has exploitable rules and cheese builds.

>>53049418
Oh, yes, my mistake, I meant get some psykers, used soon-to-be outdated wording

How do you guys settle on an army? At first, I ultimately made my choice based on the fact that one was essentially unplayably bad, and the other was actually playable. I have entry of models for both armies, mind you, so I decided to focus on the one that would be enjoyable to both paint AND play. However, the advent of 8th makes it very likely that my other army will become at least playable, and now I'm back to being torn.

Fug

>>53049951
Whichever looks better. Rules are going to be fucked no matter what, so as long as they're visually appealing and you have fun with them.

>>53049951
For me it was a toss up between 3 diffrent factions and I ended up with the army that I got the best deal on.

>>53049951
I don't. I own
Daemons
Dark eldar
A small (allies) force of Harliquins
Orks
Imperial guard
Assassin allies
Inquisition allies
A small (allies) force of grey knights
Blood angels

And I want to start emperors children so I can own an army painted hot pink with psychedelic colours without it looking girlish.

>>53048544
I would say the pincer if you really want one of the two

>>53049951
I didn't. I just kept starting new ones

>>53049990

I like how they both look, though.

>>53050154

That's also a problem because I got a pretty good deal on both. I'd say average cost is pushing 40% discount on everything I own.

>>53050170
>>53050213

I am terrified that is what I will become because I want to have something I can say is complete, rather than having 4+ different armies that are all in various stages of finished.

>>53050249
The armies I've started are all in a finished state, I would say. I don't have anything unassembled, and I sometimes go back and add stuff, but other than that they're at a point where I have a small, complete force

>>53049951
I currently own
Daemons 6k
Sisters of Battle 5.5k
1 of every Assassin
Deathmasque box (Harlequin and Deathwatch)

I kinda want to build more Harlequins or Tyranids atm.

>>53050302
Use Genestealer Cults. You can build IG as well as Nids.

Its not fucking moral, its battleshock. Tyranids arent fleeing the fight they're dragging the dead back to the spawning pools, orks aren't turning tail but that last fight has them second guessing their ammo count so maybe a few boyz go for an ammo run. If you look at the new system and sperg out on the fact that its called moral and are unable to see how it makes sense go fuck a rusty nail

>>53050282

What the paint status, though? I'd like to not have the grey tide.

>>53050302

See, having nearly 6k worth of two armies, is different than having 500-1000pts of 10 armies, though. You at least committed to one or the other.

>>53050353
does anyone seriously think Space Marines wont be immune to battleshock? Because if they do they are freaking out for literally no reason.

>>53050395
All painted. A few I still need to go back and touch up details and bases, but I've made a policy of not fielding any grey models.

Got about 1k of Tyranids, 1k of Eldar, 1.5k of Tau, and 4k of Chaos.

carrion Throne has been out for almost 6 threads and no one has posted it. Shame, TG, shame.

>>53050425
They won't be immune.

Also Fluff bollocks is irrelevant, this is simply "you lost a model, roll to lose more as a penalty"

For someone whos just starting would it be better to get one of the current starter sets or wait for 8th edition?

>>53049650
It's overly simplistic.
Flat to wound is retarded.
Battleshock is utterly retarded, and I assume that it will still be utterly retarded in 40k. It's not undefendable from a fluff perspective, but there are far better ways to implement it than how battleshock does it.

Going by what the format seems to be, traitor legions are going to have it quite nice (at least the cults)
>cultist type unit
>specialized marine variant
>terminator variant
>named champion and a primarch
>set of special lords/champions/leaders with some sort of special upgrade or mount plus lots of modelling options
Lots of potential for cool stuff, and while I'm satisfied with my rubrics I can't wait to see what the other legions gain

>>53050503
Would be nice to have an army to join all the newcomer friendly events they do at the launch of every new edition. What sets were you thinking about?

>>53050503

I would wait for the 8th starter.

The last 40K starter was mediocre and the ones before that look very dated.

To be honest, now that all the rules are going to be free PDF's, I would just buy a start collecting box. Same kind of savings but you get exactly what you want.

>>53050503
Might be better to get a start collecting box. Depends what army you like most

>>53050353
is new morale like WHF morale, with the difference in ld being how many models you lose?

>>53050503
its pretty much always safe to buy the actual models themselves, just don't buy any books or go too hard on models.

You can safely buy pretty much any starter box, and if you don't care about your army being "the best" or "top tier", then you can safely buy any starter box.

>>53050571

I really hope that isn't the case. I wish that the non-cult legions would get fancy new toys too with cool models and nice rules.

>>53050654

They don't have an armor value so they're already better?

>>53050678

They may one day get chapter tactic style rules, but they will never have their own book.

>>53050672
It is.
But it's cool that GW actually listened the fans.

I will not be surprised if they make a profile for 8th edition too.

I can't find anyone to play against me before 8th comes, so my friend said he would play with me. He doesn't play, but I have my Space Marine army from 3rd that I don't play. Does anyone know what are some good units to use in 2000 point competitive Space Marine army? I have enough bodies and props to proxy anything really.

>>53050708

Wounds and an armor save.

>>53050708
Everything has normalized stats now. They just said that big Walkers like 'Nauts will have a metric shitload of wounds, since even a basic Dreadnought has 8 now.

The lads of Anglican III were once again out on crusade against the heretical Silver Knights (who claimed to be relatives to some kind of mythical "Grey Knights"). For space marines they seem to recruit fast to replace all of those losses we incured in our previous battles. But played a 3000pt game of Emperors Will today /tg/ would you lads want a batrep?

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm hoping for at least updated models for people like my NLs buddy to have, like a new jump pack chaos lord kit or maybe some super jump pack exalted tier chaos lord guy, or things like new possessed and warsmith models. I want GW to love the other legions at least a little.

I moved up my Chimeras to just be behind cover but in position to ambush the traitors. And my Guard blob moved up just so my Russes would get some better firing angles. And my objective was Creed for the game so if you see him he was the objective marker on my side (he said we only had one per side).

>>53050678

They'll never get their own shit outside of HH forgeworld stuff because they can't justify making a bunch of new shit for them like they can with Cults. At the very best, the other 5 legions will get Legion rules (there's no reason why they'll not after the success of TH). WB and BL have the most options, imho.

>Black Legion
They can cherry pick what they want because black legion, but none of the cult units will count as troops. They'll also likely miss out on keyword synergy within the cult books, and have other marked units obviously.

>Word Bearers
They can take marked units as a sort of cult-lite way of doing things, and possibly with some sort of bonus. They'll be able to use/summon daemons and will likely have keyword synergy with them, unlike the other non-cult legions.

The rest have less unique things about them that can't be summed up into a chapter tactic. They're more specialized than a vanilla Warband, but generally forfeit their marks in exchange. For example, Night Lords have Fear and begrudgingly Raptors now, though personally I think they should make Raptors and ChaAssmarines separate because they are. Maybe give them furies again?

Then you have the Crimson Slaughter, which they're pushing. I could actually see them getting cool stuff to represent their spooky ghosts.

>>53050942

Forgeworld will look after you better than GW. They've always carried Chaos' torch. They're the only people who make new and interesting stuff without it being covered in chewing gum and tentacles.

Based on what we've seen so far, how do you think wyches will be in 8th? I have a small wych cult that I couldn't bring myself to finish assembling because they're just so terrible on the table right now. I'm hoping 8th will be good to them.

I'd imagine ATSKNF to ignore Battleshock as long as the result rolled wouldn't outright kill the unit.

>>53050778
All vehicles use S and T now. AV is completely gone. In addition each such unit has it's own unique AoS-style performance degredation table as they take damage. In exchange they generally have MANY more wounds. So no, not the "lazy route" at all.

I've always had a thing for Cypher and his new model is fucking nice. Plus, the first group I played in had a DA player who cheated like a bitch so fuck the DAs.

I play guard, is any synergy possible?

>>53051001
Good luck anon

>>53051201
Cypher and the fallen infiltrate as melee to hold back the line while your guardsmen advance? It's fluffy as hell if you field him as he has a knack for assisting and recruiting guardsmen/PDF

Oh yes. Porting the aos monster/vehicle system into the 41st Millenia is certainly the hard route.

So weird thing. I was at flgs today getting half price Vedros bikes for Rough Riders and they had gotten in vouchers for "free rules updates for Dark Vengeance". Clerk didn't know about it but apparently if you buy DV now you get a coupon to get a free "updated" rulebook for it. I assume this means 8th?

The nerve of these heretics /tg/ moving to harass the Emperor's holy Imperial Guard? They will soon be reduced to nothing but burning corpses. They shunted up both of their baby-carriers the other one moved right in front of my Guard line. The witches cast their vile powers making a Rhino have a 4+ invuln because why not. He didn't really do any shooting and the only thing of note was he managed to shake a Demolisher with a torrent to it's rear armor.

>>53051313

Unless it's a super old DV (which might have gotten a voucher for 7 -> 7.5?) but it's almost certainly for 8E.

>>53051115
If you ever meet someone who has a problem with it then be thankful because playing against him would be an unpleasant experience, he would cheat while constantly querying your every rule and complaining how tyranids are totally broken.

I hope to the high heavens synapse is gone in 8th

>>53051047

I was going to say being able to assault out of transports makes them better but then I remembered that they could already assault out of raiders, raiders are just shit.

Honestly with the statline they currently have they'll be shit. The new combat rules fuck them hard because they don't do enough damage to kill most units outright- and that's a problem since any unit in a combat can choose to just walk out of it on their turn. Wyches NEED to be stuck in when outside of a transport because a stiff breeze will wipe their entire squad.

The pattern will be: Wyches charge out of their transport, lose a couple in overwatch, do some decent damage but fail to kill their target. The target walks out of melee on their turn, their other units casually mow down your now exposed wyches.

The removal of initiative fucks them even harder. A humble guardsmen squad has a good chance of kicking your wyches' asses in melee if they get the charge off, due to striking first.

Because they're already a terrible unit I wouldn't necessarily say that they'd be *worse*, but without a serious overhaul of their rules they aren't going to be any better.

The swarmlord isn't one organism though it's an expression of the hive mind that can appear anywhere, all tyranids are returned to soup after a planet is devoured. It's a lot more likely that a swarmlord would appear in a battle than even a single space marine let alone any special character as there quadrillions of tyranid organisms and only a million marines in a galaxy of half a trillion stars.

>>53051525
Wait until I get my trip snares for guardsmen, I'll laugh if 8th takes away you hitting first when making a disordered charge. I'd be even worse.

>Tfw don't know if I wanna start a Chaos Space Marine army or a Nid army

Fucking hell, it'd be easier if the Chaos Marine models weren't shit and they sold the Dark Vengeance molds outside of that set.

>>53051544

A lucky Vanquisher cannon round blew an enemy Rhino sky-high leading to massive cheers from the Guard ranks and as plasma streamed into a Dreadknight the cheers got even louder. And battle cannon and Lascannon fire would soon cause the other to brew up as well.

Fascinating anon, are there any other aspects of the 40k setting that have struck you as unrealistic? And this isn't whineseer so sometimes things are discussed again, the guy asking the question obviously wasn't aware of it, pity you can't downvote him for not checking the catalogue.

Demonic Instability is probably gonna copy whatever Daemons have in AoS. Orks may just get the ability to swap out the Battleshock results for X S 3 hits to the unit, with X being the number of models. Not great if you only lost one guy, but a lot better if you lost a bunch, since then you can rely on toughness and armor to save you

This is exactly my fear of running a Wych Cult in 8th edition, like damn near to a T.

>High Initiative means nothing
>Can already assault from raiders
>are more durable in combat
>cant kill enough before fallback

The only thing they have that is moderately a buff is shooting pistols in CC, however, they will surely be losing an attack in the process. Infinite overwatch hurts them even more. Even if they have say, an 8" move, they're more likely to die to shooting first because they only get a 6+ save.

CSM or Sisters of Battle?

What did you want? A proprietary New Games Workshop(TM) Walker Tool that has Not-Boggle(TM) popper that displays seven color coded dice that you cross reference across 7 distinct charts that track damage, armor, crew morale, ammunition, status effects, Cheese Modifier, and Smugness?

bait/10

Really glad we can shoot pistols in CC now. Used to be hard to justify things like plasma pistols where you would only ever really get 1 or maybe 2 shots off in a game, the rest of the time in combat gaining nothing but an extra S:User hit.

Out of the air a massive shape appeared over the battlefield. As if drawn by the bloodshed the traitorous enemy Grandmaster rode onto the field waiting for his time to strike. As if in unison the two Dreadknights moved to light the Guard armor on fire,massive flamers going for engines and air ducts. The surviving infantry moved towards the unholy artifact at the top of the ruined structures and confront the Stormtroopers at the top. Their power blades tore through the highly trained lads and a massive Greatsword smashed apart a Chimera but the two remaining STs held on continuing their march to the top.

I want to get one last massive 7th ed game in and I might do some Battlefleet Gothic too. But the Guard made the traitors pay with their lives for the loss of their comrades. The Vanquisher added another kill to it's high count as a massive slug ripped apart a Dreadknight. It's wingmates turning their turrets and advancing to pour plasma fire into the Silver Knights and the Marines ignited from the very heat of the blasts. The rest of the Guard firepower focused on wiping out damaged units and distracting the enemy from the Scions.

The enemy warlord tired of watching his soldiers die and to gain favors with his dark masters (especially with the loss of the artifact) decided to join the fight. His name was Kyle Draco or something but he and his Fallen Paladins and Terminators opened fire on the Guard lines. Men were torn apart by storm bolters bodies blasted apart by Pyscannons as well. A Wyvern took several large caliber shells to the side it's crew fleeing as it burned and the enemy cackled but in despair looked to the great tower.

Even through all of the suffering and casualties of the battle the Anglican flag flew proud over the battlefield and they knew they had won. The enemy warlord screamed in terror his dark stain being removed from the galaxy from a combination of Plasma and Volcano cannon fire and at the end of my turn four he conceded. I don't know if we did the mission right but I tried to help him learn something. And I was proud my regiment had held the line against the dark forces of heresy once more.

I got the song from a friend because of a funny story:

I had a ranger squad get killed to a man but then he got into ruins. Next turn, he couldn't move because he was within 12" of a Hive Tyrant, so I said screw it and used him as a market for my first curse with assault grenades to come in. They rolled a 6 on the table, and so came in 6" around the Ranger getting ready to charge the terminator death star that killed the ranger squad. The funny part is that the manager was taking pics from TLOS for promotional material, and the picture was from the Teminator's feet so there was this guy in the red robe pointing at the terminators with the Genestealer Cult looking in at them. So that's how that unlikely alliance ended up on store windows.

>>53053266
Yeah, I thought it would be a good idea that has the potential to be kinda fluffy with decent tabletop possibilities. It would either increase crowding up tables with a ton of revivable units, or could create some interesting plays and/or strategies if it had the potential to revive enemy units. Though if it was able to revive enemies, there'd have to be some sort of barrier to balance that out.

The Flag really made the end of this report.

I recently played with a very mellow Dark Angels player. Our game turned into a (good kind) of clusterfuck of tank shocking chimeras and Russes fighting the world's shittiest terminators and bloodthirsty bikers.

And when I say shitty boy do I mean shitty! Those terminators put 6 power fist attacks and 3 chainfist attacks into a Chimera. They missed SEVEN TIMES! And the remaining blows BOUNCED OFF AV10!

It was great, and gave me my new favorite image of a tactical squad getting flanked by a Leman Russ. I'm hoping to set up a fuffy 1000pts guard vs 750 points Angels game with him before 7th Dies.

Death Guard got what I can guess are plague zombies showed off in the trailers, while Thousand Sons got Tzaangors in the cultist aspect.

Has gw ever even actually acknowledged that nids and orks are fucked?

>>53053546
They did the opposite with orks one time on stream.

>>53053352
Well that's good. It's always kinda crappy to play against people who clearly don't care about painting their shit.

>>53053568
what,like they said orks were good?

>>53051184
it's 500pts it literally doesn't matter. And people let new players win anyway. By the time you're any good at the game at all you'll have at least 1k points. Stop posting.

>>53053650
IIRC yes, maybe not good persay but they were like "lol orks are fine"

>>53053650
I believe they got REALLY fucking lucky with rolls, but amounted it to Orks being okay on the tabletop.

No shit, any army is good if all you roll is 6's.

I've been wanting to make something like this for a while. I've seen it done before but it's usually built with the dunecrawler.

What you might be able to use is the 'tail' on the FW Scyllax or for tracks you could use the Cyclops demolition vehicle.

>anons think Orks are bad
You retards just don't understand. I didn't understand either, admittedly, until I faced IT. The ultimate Ork list.

Nobz. In. A. Naut.

I wish I could go back in time and warn myself of the horrors of such a powerful list.

'It's just Nobz and a 'Naut, what could go wrong? They're some of the worst units in the Ork codex, for crying out loud!'

Oh, was I in for a shock. Had I known that those were his WEAKEST UNITS, I would have been scared for my life if I had known about his strongest units!

Anons, please, listen to me about the horrors of the Ork player!

Will 40k ever embrace esports and start becoming competitive?

I have been wanting to play 40k but unfortunately there is a lot of hate for competitive lists like riptide wing heavy tau etc. I feel like there is no space in 40k for proper gamers who are highskill. Any chance GW decides to support esports more?

>>53053685

So that's what a Stage 4 Guild Navigator looks like...

>>53053458
Well it's obvious ya git :

Mork is brutal, but kunnin'

Gork is kunnin', but brutal

There ya go, see.

>>53053706
>spamming unfluffy broken units is "highskill"
This bait is awful.

>>53053706
You keep using that word. But I don't think the word E-sports means what you think it means.

Started a small campaign with my roomate today with a custom killteam game. Relic with the tacticals being the objective he had to save before my orks gunned them down.
We ruled that they moved d6 scatter a turn and shot the nearest enemy.
Which was followed by 3 of the 5 getting killed in my first shooting phase and they promptly ran straight to my roomates marines for him to win it after stoping my charging boys in the middle building.
Good fun and an excuse to get some more games in before age of girlyman.

>>53053706
but 40k is all analog. it can't be an esport.

>>53053724
I've heard rumors or posts before tangentially that GW is going to support organized play more. I will refer you to sirlin's famous writings on competitive play to win. I think a decent pro scene or organized play scene can really change 40k player culture into more tryhard competitive scene.

>>53053750
Obviously, i just meant it would follow say MTG footsteps of broadcasting games on twitch and supporting tournament scene.

There is a chance machine learning rules system with cameras could eventually guide 40k play though.

>>53053752
>being a bunch of tryhard faggots who are actively trying to outcheese each other is a good thing
I don't care about whichever nigger wrote what about competitive play, this shit is inane and stupid.

No one wants to turn 40k into a dumb cheesefest, we play this game because it's fun, and wriathknights vs riptides is the antithesis of fun.

Please go back to /r/Warhammer40k

Are the rules for BFG in the OP or on 1d4chan?

>>53053740
I am unironically loving that terrain, looks like a secret fun level in a depressing grimdark game

Im going to laugh if they purposefully make that the new meta

>>53053809
Why are you being a balance apologist?

Shouldn't it be up to the developers to balance the game instead of relying on players somehow agreeing on a power level?

What if I always bring a force that is better than yours by a good margin?

>>53052103
hey, I fucking love cross reference charts (RIP battlefleet gothic)

and for a game like titanicus that sounds awesome.

Riptide wing is fluffy honestly.

It's fucking stupid that it's fluffy, but it is.

Also >>53053706 is a moron because ITC exists.

>>53051392
Their head has a huge armor plate on it and is where its force field comes from.

Now the waist, that's where the 3rd ed zoantrope model would snap in half repeatedly even if you pinned it.

>>53053848
Nice, that looks crazy m8

I haven't played Warhammer in a few years, but one of my friends who still does just told me they're releasing ANOTHER rulebook but this time for fucking free, and it invalidates everything and changes the rules entirely?

What the fuck? Can someone explain? Is this a massive shift in GW production philosophy?

>>53053865
>spamming 3 (three) riptides is fluffy even though the lore explicitly states that the materials used to build a single riptide are incredibly rare and difficult to obtain
Oh fuck right off.

>>53053880
Ita all tru mang

>>53053880
lel they do this every few years but at least this time they can just augment the rules instead of outright moving to a new set

>>53053706
Um. How is it esports?

It's dollies on a table.

Pro mtg is not esports.

If gw could make a balanced game, then it could be a seriously competitive thing. Maybe.

And think for half a second about economies of scale.
How many people do you know? And how many of those people give half a toss about little space dollies?

Fucking nobody cares about you and your hobby, outside of your fellow hobbyists. And they are simply too few in number to support anything.

Hell, gw doesn't even care that much about you, so long as you keep buying their products.
>mfw people actually buy gw coloured gloop to schlop onto their overpriced plastic dollies.
The dollies are ok, but fuck.

>but Duncan says to use this colour to base coat the boots with...

>>53053895
Same dealio with the Wraith Host, desperate times call for desperate measures so you can fuck right off ;^)

>>53053902
They don't do this every few years, what are you talking about? For decades before I stopped playing, every rule book had permitted the existence of previous codexes, and cost a bomb.

>>53053880
Yeah it's 8th edition mang

>>53053859
It'll be finished by the end of this week. The longest part is the three layers of highlights. It is such a FUCKING DRAG that some days I'll only paint a few lines at a time, and others I'll tackle a whole side, and some days I won't even touch it and let it look at me in shame.

In my DE I have my Reavers left along side the new Wyches and Succubus I bought on Saturday. Then the rest of my backlog is:
>3 Crisis Suits
>3 Stealth Suits
>Hammerhead/Skyray
>10 Fire Warriors
>a dickton of Drones
>Grand Master Voldus
>repainting the rest of my force weapons on the GK
>and lastly as a reward, my Imperial Knight Crusader, in Inquisition colors, The Righteous Indignation.

Send help.

I have a fully custom command squad with MoO and astropath with their own converted command chimera and 2 other commanders that can be swapped out.

Pic kind of related - It's my main commander + 3 lackeys and an ogryn sergeant

>>53053944
Need to send somebody to bust your tv so you can focus on painting

Oh yeah, a 1500pt game with 3 riptides in it is certainly "desperate times".

>>53053963
>>knock knock
I love this.

>>53053972
Gotta give me credit. In 6 months I've painted(in this order):
>Haemonculus
>Cronos
>Talos
>Balewind Vortex (as an Xmas gift) to use as a portal glyph
>Venom
>Scourges
>Raider
>Celestine and Gemini (favor for a friend)
>2 Venoms
>Haemonculus
>Grotesques (conversions)
>Guilliman (commission for the Celestine friend)

>>53054026
It's nice, but I like to stick to 1 range until it's done. I get a sort of groove going, and the painting ends up better than if I would've jumped between armies after a unit.

>>53054057
Oh, and a Ravager.

>>53054021
Good guess actually. That's part of one of the six armies I play.

>>53052146
That would be my Raven Guard Techmarine Rexus. He loves hanging out the door of his Stormraven and watching his gun servitors turn Xenos and Traitors into assorted mists and pastes.

>>53054065
>Own 2000+pts of tau
>Painted like half a breacher
I refuse to put them on a table unpainted but damn life gets stupid sometimes

>>53054096
>>53052146
Shit and I own 4. Librarian, Captain, Chaplin and Techmarine

>>53054103
Admittedly, I was re-couping from knee surgery, no calls(read: not accepting most jobs) for sub-teaching, and what probably could be classified as a minor bout of depression(read: "Fuck, I need a new job.") when I painted all that. But now I've got a job that so far is pretty stress-free and enjoy a bit.

>>53053895
They're rare but they're typically fielded in vanguard strike divisions with multiple of them leading a spearhead.

It's fucking stupid but they're you go.

Just a few thoughts on incoming 8E as a player who started in 4 and ended in 6th.

I got into KT:HoR a few months past and have been really enjoying the hobby again. Was surprised when SW:AG came out and though I haven't tried it, it seems quite fun.

Curious how most people are feeling about some of the most recent rules teasers? Most things have looked solid to me thus far -- I think the overall changes to assault are going to make the game more interesting. However, it also seems like GW is intent on making the game very high variance (hint: it already is).

The morale changes are making me very nervous, especially as a guard player. It seems like they're embracing some higher levels of abstraction to eliminate instance of movement especially. You basically are exchanging an always functional unit for significantly more casualties. Seems like it will be unduly harsh for hordes.

Anyone else have overarching thoughts?

Alright /tg/, since Sweeping Advance will soon be a thing of the past, lets post glorious/horror stories:

>be me. Playing 2 v 1. My ally dips out, leaving his almost tabled Eldar army in my command.
>Next turn, I'm up. A survivor squad of Eldar Guardians is just chillin. Move them out. Move, battle focus, charge (fucking battle focus is ridiculous) a 12 man squad of Fire Warriors. 3 guardians cause 4 wounds-- Tau fag fails 3 armor saves.
>tau fag takes a leadership test. fails
>Sweeping advance, Initiative 4 vs Initiative 2. I win easily
>9 other Firewarriors are massacred by 3 space elves

I will miss you sweeping advance

Sigmar fixed previously dead/shitty armies for Fantasy. I think the same is in store for 8th.

>>53054247
Would you admit it's a step in the right direction that they admitted LD was pretty useless in this edition with most armies having some way to negate/render LD useless?

>>53054269
But did Fantasy happen to have any army that was repeatedly written by an anti-fanboy who actively shit on them, who was then part of the design team for Sigmar?

>>53054275
Sort of? Admitting that most armies had a way to render it pointless was a good move, I'm not sold on the battleshock mechanic though.

I would say that the fact that they tacitly admitted that the fanbase had trust issues and that the balance was previously bad and in need of playtesting during the FAQ was definitely a step a right direction.

>>53054168
Thats good you found work you can enjoy (even if its just a bit), the hell happened to your knee? Scrape it on something giving Slaanesh a "Tribute"?

>>53054281
no, but Brettonians were ignored for a decade. Whats worse, when people ignore you or when they shit on you?

>>53054329
Tomb Kings here, forgotten is definitely the worst.

>>53054281
Do people honestly believe this? Crudface is just a shitty writer. He doesn't have a hateboner for Nids.
