They've been mentioned in the previews more than the Sororitas. They were mysteriously absent from the Tau faction focus, but there are both those rumors of a new faction, and reliable rumors of Tau getting more stuff, so...

I wonder if SOBs'll realize the hammer has fallen for their army when Warhammer Community officially releases 8th without SOBs getting a faction focus.

No, they didn't sneak anything, you liar.

The Stormcast battletome said that Sigmar selected female and males heroes to be his stormcast. This was long before that model came out.

Well Marines got Squated before SoB so I'm happy.

Because only a delusional would think GW would keep making old marines when the new Primaris Marines are here to stay.

>>53295156
Female sigmarines already existed in AoS lore since the start. They were explicitly the souls of mortal heroes given new life or some Bullshit.

You could technically have elf Sigmarines.

With Drach'nyen, Abaddon can wipe the floor with any Primarch if he decides to call upon of the power of the End of Empires/Echo of the First Murder.

Nothing special. The Storm of Emperor's Wrath is notable for it's emergence being the main reason Goge Vandire was defeated in the "Reign of Blood" back in M36.

It occurs to me that none of the named regiments I know of are sufficiantly TANKYTANKTONKTANKPANZER to represent my army. I wonder if they'll give us a new regiment with some sort of Leman Russ bonus, or if I'll just have to choose between Armageddon or Cadian tactics.

Out of curiosity I'm trying to see how many different variation (with Rules) each army has

Ultramarines
Salamanders
Iron Hands

No.

I thought Abaddon only had one of those now given he only captured two in the Gothic War and one of those two was lost to a Necron fleet.

>>
>>53295269
They have tanks, but their focus is Mechanized, which is very different. Not so different I wouldn't try them because my Army uses a mix of foot, mech, and armored units, though.

I imagine they'll get a very mechvet-centered bonus, Cadians or Modians something infantry flavored, Elysians I'm betting lots of scout and deep strike, and Kriegers artillery.

But none of them are known for their tanks. All of them have a very Infantry or Combined Arms flavor to them.
>>
>>53295277
Three.

One was blown up in the Gothic war.
Two was blown up by the Phalanx above Cadia, and had its remnants used by Abaddon to crack Cadia in half.
Three was given to Huron and it's functional.

>Every other faction stares in bemusement as the Space Marines complain about getting squatted because they got new models.

Personally, I'm wondering why they didn't just update the models outright, made the Primaris statline the Space Marine Statline (since tacticals see so little action, and that's always annoyed me when fighting space marines), and raised the points cost to make Space Marines the elites they were meant to be.

I think it's just Yiffs being too retarded to be able to properly create marines anywhere that isn't the fang. Stupid backwards supersticious barbarians can't even have their runepriests do their vodoo without thinking they're drawing it from Fenris somehow ...

but to clarify, there are official statements from gw stating that they dont care about lore and dont understand why their fans do and that they are only a toy making company and thats it

What you want to be their own separate thing? They are marines and their own shit. That will replace marine models eventually.

Eventually it will be Imperial Fist (Primaris) but right now they are IF, Primaris and Primaris with IF stuff on them.

So they can get current marine players with complete armies to buy some to use the new rules where them might pass on just replacement models since they wouldn't match. Also it lets them trickle them out rather than needing to discontinue/replace the whole line at one. The only time I can remember them doing that is Dark Eldar.

Unconfirmed that it would actually work and SW were disrespectful of the idea anyway.

So sure they could force it but like I said they would have to overwrite and ass-pull too hard.

I love the female Sigmarine. I would hate female Marines because Marines are already fucking gay and a huge gay male power fantasy. I'd rather nice plastic Sisters and some female Guard commander special characters. I think mixed units for Guard would look bad, but female commanders and special characters would work perfectly.

Magnus certainly seemed to think it was going too.

>>
>>53295699
That's also the main issue I have with the primaris marines. Why GW went out of their way to hamfist new marines into the lore with better stats and new models, instead of just using the hard rules reboot and "new mark of power armour for all marines, so all new models !" is a mystery.

Maybe they just did it in the hope that all people currently buying marines leave the hobby out of rage or something.
>>

In the night the Death Guard managed to take the initiative from the Imperial forces. But they were not able to stop them from calling for reinforcements in the form of veterans and a group of Conscripts under the leadership of Preacher Johannes. They moved up to seize the caches of supplies scattered throughout the ruined city. And the Death Guard legionnaires opened fire on the Guard blob taking out a few of them and an autocannon round took one of the company commanders bodyguards in the chest leaving them pinned. The Forgefiend would have the chance to kill again throughout the battle.

No, there are very specific mentions of Wulfen long before Magnus was even found.

In fact, the first person (who wanted to kill Russ and take his place at the head of the Space Wolves legion once he was a full marine) that recieved the Canis Helix primer that makes recruits ready to recieve the SW geneseed turned into a Wulfen pretty much on the spot, in front of Russ and the first batch of fresh recruits from Fenris itself.

It doesn't go against the fluff though. It would if there was simply no development and the Space Wolves just started doing it. But this is new gene-seed that's been fiddled with for 10k years, it doesn't have to play by the same rules.

The Guard reacted by moving up their forces and pressing the attack.

+++Draxis III, Chapter Planet of the Mist Phantoms+++

It was as if the sky was raining fire. First Captain Decius of the Mist Phantoms looked through the shattered lenses of his Terminator helmet at the streaks of fiery light blazed through the heavily polluted upper atmosphere of the planet. The thick layer of pollutants that had enveloped the globe had been the product of the planetwide promethium refinery network that choked the life out of any human being not wearing heavy containment suits. However, the very air that tormented the human population of the planet now served to be its salvation as the remnants of the Tyranid landing force burned up in the toxic chemicals.

The invasion had caught them by surprise, he had to admit, the tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan sweeping through the system before concentrating on the greatest source of resistance: Draxis III. However, the beasts had failed to anticipate the fearsome natural defenses of his home. The bulk of the Tyranid landing force had burned up in the planet’s toxic atmosphere within the first few hours of the battle and only a small fraction had managed to make planet fall. The Tyranids, now caught between the active orbital defence lasers of the planet and the Imperial Battlefleet, was being torn to shreds, the husks of destroyed Hive Ships lighting up the permanently red-tinted sky of his planet like a meteor shower.

>>
>>53296080
Decius tried to stand but the weight of the collapsed rubble kept him pinned to the ground, unable to move even in his terminator armor. The pain in his pack was excruciating and he felt the chemical stink of the poisonous gases make their way through his broken visor slits. He didn’t regret this battle however. He and this men had done their duty. Without waiting for backup, he and half of the elite First Company had donned their suits of Terminator armor and made all haste for the few areas the Tyranids had made planetfall, knowing that to delay even a minute gave the abominable creatures time to adapt to the planet’s atmosphere and scatter into its many subterranean tunnels. Despite the near-annihilation of his force, they had fulfilled their duty. All of the landing sites had been cleared of Tyranid infestation.

A flicker of movement caught his attention and he recognized a large, pale green figure push aside the corpse of a Tyranid Warrior to draw itself up.

“I thought they’d…put up more of a fight” the figure managed through its half shattered vox grille and Decius instantly recognized an old friend.

“Sergeant Ixion” he said, smiling through his pain. “I doubt that stunt you pulled was exactly codex compliant”. He tried to sound strict but knew that his old friend would instantly see through the facade. He had known of Ixion’s unorthodox ways for centuries now, ever since they had trained together in the scout company and rose together up the ranks of their chapter.

Ixion gave him a look, his amusement radiating through the faceless helm of his terminator armor. "If I may quote you, Captain” he started “Codex manuevers are for neophytes and Ultramarines”.

“Is there a difference?” Decius said with a barking laugh as he repeated his friend’s reply from all those years ago.
>>
>>53296065
Yes, but as tall as the primaris marines will be. Because primarines are also shorter than custodes .

The fat, unwashed, smelly plague marines will be even larger.
>>
>>53296120
Ixion’s laugh was cut short as the bolt round broke through his visor lens and detonated inside his skull. The weight of the Terminator armor kept him from tipping over and he stood there, a motionless corpse before the horrified gaze of his Captain.

Decius instantly pulled up his plasma pistol and fired off a burst of blue energy in the direction of the shot when his hand tore apart in a spattering of blood, bone and muscle tissue. He bit down a scream of agony and focused on the source of the second shot when the blood in his veins froze. Through the thick, alchemical mist he saw a giant in power armor move towards him. He was tall, taller than a Terminator in full battleplate. Donned in power armor that was more advanced than anything his chapter had in their armor and carry a bolt rifle of a design that even the Master of the Forge found perplexing. He wore the livery of the Mist Phantoms but his demeanor suggested that he was anything but friendly. Decius knew him all too well.

He was the Primaris.

The gene-enhanced creature wearing his Chapter’s colors lowered his weapon and stepped close to his prone figure. He towered over the Captain like an Astartes would over a mortal.

“Greetings, First Captain Decius” he said in a voice that was neither human nor Astartes “The tactical projections calculated that the Tyranids would have wiped out your little task force quite handily…unfortunately one can never rely too much on machines so I took it upon myself to rectify that…error”

Decius could barely speak. The pain of his injuries combined with the shocking turn of events had him dumbfounded. “Why…” he managed with effort.

The Primaris cocked his head slightly. “I would think that it was obvious. Still…I suppose I owe you an explanation at the very least”.

(Everything pretty much stayed the same on the rest of the board)
A horrible shape appeared in the sky above the battlefield. The flem filled laughs of the traitors showed their joy at the new arrival. The screams of men on fire also brought them joy. And as bolter fire tore into the ranks the battle started going poorly for the Guard. It was 2-2.
>>
>>53296138
The Captain could barely stay conscious as the pain surged through his body. Slowly, but surely, his uninjured hand inched towards a bolt pistol on the ground near him. His movements were minuscule and he prayed that the creature would not notice him.

“You see Captain…in the decades I have been with this Chapter I have learned a great many things” the creature said, looking up to the red sky. “For one, that my presence is not fully accepted by all its members” it looked back down at him. “Don’t look so surprised Captain. I have garnered more influence than you think in the First Company. I know it was you who railed against the acceptance of the Primaris at the council meetings. You who attempted to block my advancement up the Chapter ranks even though my achievements quickly outstripped many of those in the council itself. You who has become the figurehead for those who would stand against us”

“Is that what this is about?” Decius spat, his fury bubbling to the surface. “Your pride? Is that why you-”

His other hand burst apart in a shower of gore and this time the Captain let out a scream of agony. The creature lowered the barrel of his Crawl-pattern rifle until it was right above Decius’ cracked visor lens.

“Shut up” it said, and for once, the Astartes could hear a hint of annoyance in the creature’s voice. “No, Captain. Unlike you, are above such petty concepts. What I do is for the good of the Imperium and in service to the Lord Commander.” the creature seemed to pause for a moment, as if it was confused by it’s sudden outburst of emotion.

>>
>>53296164
“The Mist Phantoms are a rather useful asset to the Imperium” it said, returning to its cold, clinical voice. “Your records indicate that you were created to be an elite fighting force that excelled in highly polluted environments. Therefore, Draxis III was a perfect fit to be your base of operations. For millennia, you have served the Imperium with distinction, deploying to some of the most hostile planets in the galaxy but almost always emerging victorious. However, recently you have become…uncooperative. Mired in your silly little traditions and rituals, obsessed with discovering your primarch as though it was a matter of great importance, refusing certain orders from Terra on the baseless grounds that it went against your ‘honor’…no, this certainly will not do”.

“We are the Warriors of the Mist” Decius repeated the mantra of his chapter. The pain was threatening to overwhelm his senses and the blasphemy this creature was spewing was battering against his mind. He gritted his teeth and fortified his spirit. He fell back on the words of his ancestors that prayed to them for strength. “We are the Phantoms of the Shroud. We walk through the storms of poison and fire. We carry the light of the Emperor through the raging Dark. We-”

The creature lightly waved his bolt rifle in the approximation of a shrug. “Yes yes, I’ve heard your pathetic little screed before. Your Chaplains could not stop themselves from repeating it ad nauseam before combat and I must say it took all my self-control not to tear those little skulls from their shoulders and crush them in my hands.

“You won’t get away with this, creature” the Captain hissed. “The Chapter Master will-”
>>
>>53296081

>>53296196
“Oh I believe I will” it interrupted him. “When I come out of the fire carrying your Crux Terminatus, a grim look on my face as I explain to our dear Chapter Master that, for all of my efforts, I was not able to save the noble Captain of the First Company. He will be rather mournful to learn of your death. However…eventually he will need a new Captain for a First Company.” the creature paused and even through his pain-induced delirium, Decius could almost see the wicked smile through the helm of the Mark X armor. “I will be in for quite a promotion don’t you think?”

The Captain howled in rage and attempted to throw himself at the creature, every muscle in his body stretched to breaking point as anger flooded through his body. Slowly, the rubble began to give way and for a moment, hope flared in Decius’ mind as he thought he might at the very least go down fighting like a true Mist Phantom.

“Now…I believe I have a Chapter to make ready for the coming Indomitus Crusade” the creature said, all trace of amusement gone from his voice. “You will thank me for this in the afterlife, Captain Decius. I shall strip away the silly little superstitions of this Chapter and make it a professional fighting force for the Lord Guilliman to command in his campaigns”. He gave the enraged captain one last look.

“Goodbye, old man” he said and pulled the trigger.

For a heartbeat, Decius felt the chemical stink of his home linger in his lungs. The acrid smell was like the sweetest fragrance in his final breath.

Suddenly Decius winced as he heard the footsteps of his new Chapter Master, the colossal Brother Chad coming from behind him.

"How you doing, little man?" asked Chad congenially.

"G-good, milord." said Decius

"Glad to hear it, and please it's just Chad." said Chad, slapping Decius hard on the back and sending the little marine sprawling.

"We'll take it from here" said Chad, indicating to his crew of massive Primaris Marines. "You take it easy!"

"Y-you too." said Decius trying to hide the flop sweat.

I still hold that from me reading of their language in wrtting all this that Cawl was able to do this by artificially "breeding" Primarchs with human women.

Then a mass horde of the Emperors sons sprung from the gap in the traitor's lines. The Preacher Johannes was seeking a challenge so he lead his men to hunt the enemy warlord. And the rest of the Guardsman moved to assault the supply cache and the traitors surrounding it as the Devil Dog moved to support them. And the traitors on both sides soon started to die to mass lasgun fire.

So not only are you dumb, you also can't read? There are 12 different CADs in the game that all the armies share. A few will be balanced like regular CADs, and the rest will be heavily one sided for a specific tactic IE have a shitload of fast attack slots. This is to give each army access to all organization patterns. They won't give individual armies their own organization charts because that's literally just formations under a different name and completely goes against the new way FOCs are set up.

GW wanted to balance army construction so they gave everyone all options.

The traitors were angered by the rude appearance of conscripts behind them and let their anger show through bolters and autocannons and the brutal heat of plasma and flames.

Finally the veterans armed with melta guns which could vaporize the traitor marines in there heavy armor arrived. And they arrived in the perfect position to slay the enemy warlord. The conscripts filled the Nurgle marines with a volley of lasfire and a few managed to fall. The Chimera and it's multilaser and melta guns firing from the hatches managed to kill the bodyguard and the traitor librarian himself. Routing the traitors from the field.

The commander of the company smiled seeing the devastation of the Death Guard forces. An artillery shell and the blast of a melta cannon had soured the mood of Legionnaire Syphillius as his comrades melted away and as the Guardsman advanced towards them and seized the supplies.

I've heard it said how you stop 'growing' at 25 or some shit so maybe that could be it at the extreme but I'd assume it's 18.

Depends somewhat on the point cost. At the very least, it is rather durable from what we've seen of existing weapons. If there's any issue with it, it's that the Battle Cannon variant doesn't seem very good, but we'll need to see more before we can sort out what good and bad loadouts are.

The fact that the vehicle damage table is gone and they can't get luckily one-shot or immobilized helps a lot though.

That depends on a lot of things. If Lascannons are getting handed out like treats, they aren't great. If multi- and combi- meltas are incredibly popular its going to have a rough time. If they cost too much they won't see much play.

That said, having 2 heavy bolter sponsons and a heavy bolter as well as a battle cannon is pretty damn good news for it. Firing off 12 shots and then also firing the battle cannon should be pretty scary.

>>53298655
Yeah. I'm expecting that the Net they can buy will also help out with tarpitting and give them a +1 or +2 to the roll-off or something like that. Maybe just let them roll twice and pick.

Either way, I am at least glad that this gives them a niche. Whether or not it's a useful niche is the question.

Still, feels like they could have done better about making them more survivable. I'm also upset that their dodging skills are still represented by an Invuln save.

My point exactly. Heck, reading it again, they won't even be able to use that Invuln against enemies pulling out pistols, since that happens in the shooting phase while they're locked in.

I wish they had just made it against any sort of attack from within, say, 12". Dodge overwatch, dodge pistols, dodge melee, dodge bullets.

Hell, maybe even make it a hit-penalty instead so it can stack with being in cover.

>>
>>53298809
Well, the lucky thing there is that not every enemy has pistols, though against anything that does? Wyches don't even work as a Tarpit.

Say they charge your Devastators, probably manage to kill 1 or 2 if they're lucky. But then they can just try and fall back, or if they fail, just fire off a handful of pistol shots and kill a couple Wyches alongside whatever their attacks were doing. The odds only get better for the Devs if you actually took extra guys in the squad.

Just for some numbers, 10 Wyches charging into 10 tactical marines. Making some assumptions about how attacks on the charge and for 2 cc weapons work.

Right off, 10 marines rapid firing bolters on overwatch is 3 hits, and unless they're in cover you're probably looking at 2 dead before you even get into the fight.

From there, 24 attacks on the charge for the Wyches, 16 hits, only 2 unsaved wounds thanks to low strength. Special weapons might boost that, but I'm leaving those out since we don't have full profiles.

The 8 marines swing back with 8 attacks, killing about 2 wyches.

Then battleshock happens, the wyches losing 4 girls and the marines losing 2. Assuming average rolls and Ld 6, the Wyches will probably have another girl run.

Then, assuming the Wyches stop the marines from fleeing, or the marines choose to stay, the marines get their 8 pistol shots. Even being pretty generous, that's going to be about 3 more dead Wyches. By now, there's only 2 left in the squad. Their next round of 4 attacks does little even if they hit, and the remaining marines can easily mop them up.

>>53298858
Why would the devs ever fall back? They hit and wound on 3s against them AND have pistols.

>>53299064
Such as not realizing that Power From Pain is going to give them bonuses, their weapons are clearly going to have other bonuses, combat drugs are going to give them bonuses, and we don't know what other special rules they might still have.

>Sorry guys, we don't have anyone who actually plays Sisters of Battle at the studio any more so we let Robin Cruddace write your rules! We genuinely don't know why you guys still buy these models!

>>53299100
I assumed 3 attacks on the charge, which is what they have currently. I didn't think it was a good idea to assume more.

I assumed they had no special weapons, since I didn't want to try and guess at what sorts of other bonuses such weapons might have besides AP -1

I didn't want to assume what Power from Pain did, and figured that with the changes it was probably feasible that they could manage a first turn charge if they really wanted.

The point still remains, unless they get a massive boost in killing power or survivability from somewhere else, they'll lose to Tac marines and only delay them for a turn. That's not what you want from a specialized tarpit.

If power from pain, combat drugs, and other things are going to give them such bonuses, then you'd probably be better off simply buying some Kabalites for cheaper, and having them charge in. They'll live about as long, and they'll still accomplish delaying the enemy for 1 round.
>>
Oh shit I just realized Tyranid warriors might actually end up being decent in the new edition since strength 8 guns won't auto kill them. That plus venom cannons now having -whatever AP instead of just hoping you get to fire at 4+ armor saves might really get them back in the swing of things.

>>53299081

>>53299164
Or just use gun boats because they're infinitely better in every way. They're more durable, faster, dissy cannons are stronk, and they have a potential 40 shots per boat if splinter racks remain a thing.

I think Khorne, Slaanesh and Tzeench would find that amusing.
>>
>>53299081

They don't even need to hype sisters for their article. They can just say "Dude. Have you see the melta and flamer profiles?"
>>
>>53299197
Yeah, gunboats work too, but I'm assuming some dangerous unit with heavy weapons that you want to tarpit that's mediocre in combat.

From what I can tell, that's the new ideal target for their niche, but unless you get a really big blob against a really small squad, they're going to kill you and be free to shoot again about as fast as if they just fell back against something else.

I doubt they will actually. Everyone wants to know about the top tier armies and the bottom tier armies. Sisters are solidly mid-tier, and they don't care about rules as much as models.

Really minor thing but you forgot to include firing the splinter pistols. Pretty minor but 10 shots should take down average one more marine.

With current point costs, 10 wyches are 100 pts, 10 tacticals are 140 pts and 4+1 HB devastators are 110 pts. Kinda seems like these examples are stacked against the wyches, however ineffecient wyches are.
