Ok guys. Question that a child could answer.

Relics from Codex SM requires you to have an "Adeptus Astartes" Character.

Grey Knight Grandmaster have the following keywords. Imperium, Adeptus Astartes, Grey Knights.

Nice unit with stormshields you have there. Would be a shame if something were to ... happen, to it.
>>
>>54700984
Every legion has pros and cons my friend. I don't think you should sweat picking too much until the CSM codex comes out though, there's still plenty of neat things to be revealed which might change your mind.

My favorite Legion is Emperor's Children, which I usually run as a gun line, but with the preview for Emperor's Children I'm starting to think that perhaps I've been wrong and I should run them as a mobile force that is effective at all ranges.

Even though I've played a ton of games with a blob of EC that I shoot across the table with the new stuff has me thinking about new tactics, it's pretty exciting.
>>
Just started in 8th and really loving the psychic phase, however I am getting Death Guard at the moment and I'm not sure if they're a very heavy psychic army.

>>
>>54700991

Look for Start collecting boxes, or the starter sets if you settle on nurgle since you can get a LOT of nurgle shit, and can trade/convert/sell the spess muhreen half if you want.

Ask if they have newbie events, and what days the 40K players normally meet.Ask if there's someone from the group you can chat with (on the DL to ascertain what the group will be like to actually play with).

Why are Black Legion destined to suck? Why did the most elite and disciplined Chaos legion become the "make big blobs and charge across the table like a retard" legion? Why do so many legions have hybrid melee-shooty traits if they can't take both Chainswords and Bolters? Does GW really think +1 LD is enough to save your big blobs from disintegrating from morale?

The old 3rd and even some 2nd edition models weren't perfect, but they weren't nearly as bad as the current ones. Heads, hands, and weapons keep getting bigger and more cartoony every iteration.

Forgeworld at least seems to have arrested that trend.

>>54701239
If their policy towards conversions/proxies is strict it hurts experimentation and often forces people to stick to what they know is good (which leads to waag faggotry) and is often bad for overall creative diversity in a very artistic/expressive hobby

>>54701270
>Forgeworld at least seems to have arrested that trend.

Well, the scale of the models them self maybe. But FW's Solar Auxilla are at least half a head taller than the SM they make themselves.

Case in point: Elysian sculpts. The heads are still too big, imo, but everything else looks pretty good scale-wise. The old resin tallarn and the krieg models are also much better. Why doesn't GW just learn from the FW sculptors how to not be shit at sculpting?

Tell me about the Blood Angels.

I've been wanting to make a Marine army, but I can't really decide on what I want. I like the lore of the Salamanders, being cool chill dudes, and all that fire and such, though I'm not too sure on the practicality of fire in this current edition, plus the only fire units out of the Primaris lineup are the Agressors, and there are no options for Primaris melta.

Dark Angels seem neat, and plasma makes for a reliable all rounder, especially with Hellblasters being a thing, and they would fit lore wise with the Dark Angels, but my friend group already has a DA player.

Raptors seems cool too, and they would really fit with the tactical feeling of Reivers and Intercessors. I've also considered Deathwatch but I'm not sure on them, as it kind of seems like model count is what matters in this edition.

Also have considered making a mech infantry guard regiment possibly. How well does that work out? Like not all vehicle dependent, but infantry units in lots of dedicated transports instead.
>>
>>54700891

In particular, you're looking for the Dark Millenium starter ($160), Know No Fear ($80), or First Strike ($40) starters.

>>54701394
I mean, Mars in that situation wouldn't be terrible since a splash of colour might be nice, but if you really want to blend in and don't want to run the Christmas Army risk you could go for Stygies. Black robes, dark red armour. Or Agripinaa, dark grey robes, brighter silver armour and red underfabrics and cables.

Of course, Ryza orange goes pretty well with most things, or you could just make up your own because the Mechanicus is hueg and Forge Worlds churn out enginseers like failed medicine students.

Vostroyan were 100% after the plastics as they were released for a particular campaign and the Tau were long out by then. Tanith 1st and Only I also think were post cadia plastics since they were pretty much just a GW store thing and I recall them being introduced after I got seriously into the game which was right before the 3E guard codex dropped.

Great value anon here, it got some interest in the last thread so I thought I'd post the story, so about a month ago someone came into my LGS and just put a bucket of stuff down, telling the manager he can sell it as a bargain bin, at first it looked like a lot of junk, but as my group dug through it we realized it was a gold mine, the guy had left super rare or valuable models just laying in there, a couple weeks later another guy did a dumb before he moved away, fucker put literally entire armies in there, all $.75 a model or less in a bundle, I spent a long long time looking through there, I'd wait about a week between plundering to give other people chances, eventually I spent about 30-40 dollars and gotl literally a bucket of models, some of them were ugly and required a lot of work but it was worth it, lots of them were broke or ugly kitbashes, lord had a nasty slick base coat I had to strip like the one brown scion

The plastics are worse offenders than the old metal cadians.

You are right that they still aren't scaled great, but the point was they have gotten worse over time. Compared the head and gun sizes and the limb width.

First things first, you should go down on their 40k day, or when people tend to play.
You should look around first. Decline any assistance. Just look around.
See if you can find a group of guys playing. If there are some walk past and just look at the other tables, then come back to any of them and ask if it's okay if you watch. Don't mention more than that.
Also look around to see if anyone's building or painting, just so you can see it being done in person.
Also ask what the standard point value at the FLGS is for 40k games.

Like what you see?
Then first, don't buy anything.
You heard me.
This isn't the time for that.
You are looking to see if this hobby is right for you.
You also may change your mind about several things later, so buying stuff now doesn't help you.

Ask questions about basic games stuff, but do not take advice on what army to play, what units to buy or what tactics to use.
You are looking to build any army for yourself, not copy someone else.

If you are sure you want to play CSM plus daemons, then download the rulebook from the mega link in the OP, and also the chaos index.
Read the main rules plus some of the advanced, then look over your codex. (the chaos index right now, CSM book comes out the 19th)

Look at the units you like and if you make a list, leave 25% of it open so you can add stuff you need that you might be lacking.
Now you've got a shopping list. Do some more research before you jump in, and look for deals if you can.
Also ask if they have any junk models or something you can practice painting with, or if they have people who teach you how to paint, or whatever

Some other tips:
Dry fit your models before you glue
Use plastic glue when possible as it doesn't stick to your hands
Prime models lightly with paint
When painting, dip the brush in the paint pot, then in a bit of water, then apply for most non-detail things. Takes practice

I used to run a big FLGS, this was always the advice I gave

Goodness, it's remarkable what a difference squared-off pauldrons make to the overall look of the model. I'd forgotten they'd changed that.

>>54701321
ffs I really wish they'd get rid of stupid "hates x" type rules, it's really situational for the player and it's no fun playing against it if you happen to be playing the hated army. GW really need to think about how they can make armies like GK more balanced rather than focused on countering daemons

Any word on Chaos getting some Primaris-equivalent?
If GW gives Chaos one, do you think they're gonna do the smart thing and tie it to the character that's long made a career of making super-marines, or do you think they'll do the GW thing and make up something completely asinine that's at odds with decades of fluff?

>>54701761
Killshot (1 CP)- Use in the shooting phase if a you have a Predator within 6" of 2 other Predators from the same Chapter. Add 1 to the wound and damage for all of its attacks against Monsters and Vehicles.

Flakk Missile (1 CP)- When an Infantry unit shoots a missile launcher at a unit with Fly, make a single hit roll with +1 to hit. If you hit, do D3 mortal wounds instead of rolling to wound

It's noteworthy that when Relic sat down to design a good looking IG character for their game, they took the time to make the dumb featureless shoulder pads more interesting on her armor.

I don't think they'll get primaris-equivalents, but if they do I don't think it'll be Fabulous Bill who created them. His whole thing is creating monsters but thinking he's improving things somehow, it's far more likely someone like Omegon would be responsible.

Is it instead? I thought the target got D3 mortal wounds plus a normal to-wound roll from the missile.

So right now I'm running 800 points of dark eldar. Should I swap GE 3 reavers I'm running for 8 carbine scourges (or 7 and one lance/blaster)?

Is it just me or are inceptor squads hot garbage. I feel like they really paid for having deep strike. 180 points when you can get agressors for 129 with more firepower. A smart opponent is never going to make them viable for character assassination, and they die pretty easy. Am I missing something, or are they as weak (relatively compared in the space marine codex) as I think.

Depends on how chill your group is and your army. Some Legions that haven't been hit hard by mutations, like Alpha Legion or Iron Warriors, you can easily get away with that. Others that loaded up on spiky bling or got corrupted to hell and back like Emp's Children, that's a bit more of a stretch.
And as always, the galaxy is a big place in 40k. If something could possibly happen somewhere, no matter how unlikely, it probably is happening somewhere.

Why do people assume that "female in the military" means "all females now serve in the military and there are no people making babies"?

Militaries are tiny compared to the overall population, and the Imperial Guard takes the top 10% of a planet's PDF as a tax. So the amount of women you'd be losing even if all of the planet's fighting force was women, would be tiny.

>>54702038
Because you have planets full of women breeding you new ones. If you force your fetish into the canon and start using women as soldiers regularly, you're going to have to come up with some reason why the population of soldiers doesn't start drying up when women start dying by the billions like guardies do.

It's almost as if humans have thought this through before and that's why we never use women as real soldiers.

Because Chaos is pretty much the only force that can dissuade space marines from MUH EMPRAH. And those that leave for other reasons (typically to rule their own fiefdom) are vulnerable to chaotic corruption. There are a very small handful of non-chaotic renegade marine chapters, but they tend to end up that way because the Imperium shunned them, not because they left.

Not true of Cadia.

Every person, man woman and child, is militarily trained, has a unit that they serve in, and rotates in and out of that service. I don't remember exactly, but I think there was a reference to Cadian women serving shorter tours of duty so that they could reproduce, but if you are born on Cadia you serve in the regiments. That's just how it is. A child learns to strip and maintain a lasrifle at age 7.

The same IG codex and even BL fanfiction says so. This is common sense lore by now.
Mostly all regiments are male, a few are all female, while very few are mixed.

Example of mixed regiments Cadia, Catachan, Mordia Iron Guard, Tanith First and Only. I do not recall if Preatorian or Tallaran are mixed but they do have females regiments

Of the units on your list the following are bad imo:
Vypers and War Walkers. War walkers also look like ass so double don't get them. If you want weapons platforms get the FW Hornets or wasps.

I don't know how many units you plan on buying but you're going to want a transport for the guardians, wraithblades, and spiritseer so i'd pass on those if you're not going to buy another wave serpent.

Warlock needs a unit to buff since his best abilities are conceal or it's melee equivalent. At this point you've got exactly one unit that he can help (fire prism) and it's really not worth a 37 point model escorting it. He would work well with the scorpions but i'm assuming they're deepstriking since you'd put your dragons and/or DA in the serpent.

Running 2 autarchs and a farseer in 2k and under is a bad idea since they're expensive and need units that actually deal damage to buff effectively.

In conclusion: Hemlock, Reapers, Shining Spears, or Scourges if you're buying one box.

I guess so.

Word Bearers: Reroll morale.

Stratagem: Reroll dice for summoning, don't suffer mortal wounds.

Warlord trait: your auras are 3" larger.

Relic: Some special crozius.

Its fucking nothing. Meanwhile Alpha Legion get -1 to hit from 12" away and can infiltrate anything. Plus their Warlord Trait means you can never really kill their warlord, which is the equivalent of a free victory point in all your games. They get some crappy chainsword though.

Why do you actually give a fuck if someone wants female IG?
>>
>>54702467
-1 to hit is very powerful. Unlike Raven Guard, they aren't typecast as an assaulty army. So you can make a very powerful gunline with Alpha Legion, particularly with the really strong vehicle stratagems.

Allowing you to infiltrate stuff is also very strong, depending on what it is. You have a lot of flexibility to do shenanagins.

Finally, their warlord trait is good. You can have 2 HQs, on opposite sides and your opponent will not be able to claim 'slay the warlord'. That's just good.

>1 A common mistake. It is, of course, virtually unheard of for an entire Astartes Chapter to take the field at once, let alone two, what Cain obviously means here is that elements from two different Chapters were involved. (A couple of companies apiece from the Reclaimers and the Swords of the Emperor.)
>2 He'd heard wrong, or is possibly exaggerating for effect. The newly appointed colonel of the 112th Rough Riders was a former sergeant, true, but had already received a battlefield promotion to lieutenant during the defence of Corania. None of the senior command staff in any of the recently consolidated units had made the promotional jump directly from non-commissioned officer.
>3 Description of His Divine Majesty's Not the most flattering or accurate most holy Inquisition, it must be admitted.

You mean these? Don't see anything about Guard segregation.

Now, I did find this in the footnotes of Chapter 3:
>10 It was hardly unprecedented for men and women to serve together in the Imperial Guard. Notable units in which this was the norm included the Omicron Rangers, Tanith First, and Calderon Rifles. However, with women making up fewer than ten per cent of the total number under arms, and the vast majority of those serving in single-sex regiments, it wouldn't be that surprising if the 597th excited a certain amount of curiosity among the onlookers present.

Which does state that mixed regiments are not rare and that single-sex regiments are mainly filled with men because of them making up the vast majority of recruits. Not some Guard policy.

Idea for Alpha Legion strategy based on leaks.

Havocs and CSM in back, shooting at guys and enjoying -1 to hit. Infiltrate some cultist blobs to annoy the enemy and charge guys to tie things up. Have gunline of predators, forgefiends, hellbrutes and so on making use of the great vehicle stratagems like: Kill shot, daemon engines reroll hits and wounds, hellbrutes shoot twice if they stood still, veterans giving any unit +1 to wound.

The wording on Nemesis Lord makes me think they don't want a warlord with both it and an artifact melee weapon, but the "choose another warlord trait" RAW would mean you end up with two warlord traits, wouldn't you? As it doesn't stop you from picking this one, it just tells you to pick a different one if you did pick this one.

>>54702639
See: >>54702032
>"Unless otherwise stated IG regiment are all male or female."

Emphasis on "or" and "all female." He didn't say "all male or mixed" or anything of the sort, the implication was pretty clearly that regiments are, outside of exceptions, segregated by sex to all male and all female regiments. Not that you have all male regiments purely due to there being a higher influx of male recruits.

>Also if you had the source why the fuck did you ask for it? Wanted some gold star or something

I asked for a source, got it, looked it up, and then replied. I did not "have it."

So many strats! So little cp. The sadfaces are real. But also excited! Prior to the codexes launching, I didn't think too much about command points. Now though as we get a better idea of what these unique strategems look like, I like the idea of CP a lot. Now you have more ways to build a list, more points to focus on and more synergies to work with. I am super excited for future codexes to drop and see what I can do with them.

While you could probably make an argument for it, let's go with RAI and pick a brand new one. Though in this age of picking your own warlord traits, I am not sure if it'll pop up unless you really really want to roll for your warlord trait and make a long argument about it.

There is lore saying a LOT of fucking things. Doesn't mean every bit of lore is some "common sense lore by now" ( >>54702169 ) or "Unless otherwise stated" ( >>54702032 )

I think the only reason this even became an "argument" is that the initial claim is so condescending when it's based on nothing. If that poster had said "well, that's what I assume" or something with even a trace of humility (and accepting that most anything goes in 40K anyway), I doubt anyone would have thought much about it.

Actually, the only lore so far given, does indicate that it's very rare. Since segregation is not that common and men make 90% of the recruits, it would mean that getting a regiment that's 100% female would be very rare, even if a planet did do segregation of their regiments.

>Beside who care enough?

Okay time to talk theory and practice.

Alright first of all you can take over one crimson hunter, almost 6 dark reapers, and just under a hemlock for the price of 2 war walkers.

The hemlock is more durable thanks to -2 (or -1 and about as durable) to hit 3+, and additionally doesn't lose any fire power until it loses 12 wounds.
If you are smite spamming because you took 2 hemlocks or just aren't that worried about dying and need the damage the hemlock is the most points efficient unit of the 4 against the most units in the running for superior firepower. It can also ignore ++saves and is way the fuck faster than a war walker that also gets penalties to move and shoot.

The Crimson hunter is the next best against tanks and is actually the absolute best when firing on skimmers thanks to rerolling to wound against fly. It doesnt' suffer 50% damage loss at 6 wounds so it's also better as damage builds up and faster. I didn't math it against -x to hit.

Note that the hemlock ignores -x to hit penalties.

Dark reapers are less durable and more mobile but give out more anti-infantry and superheavy firepower than their points in war walkers. They also ignore the -x to hit from stormravens which makes them better against those for their points too.

This was done assuming your bl/bl warwalkers were the only unit taken.

Conclusion: every other option is better than bl/bl walkers either overall or in several ways.

Points efficiency data via chartanon (see OP).

That happened 10k years ago, and has nothing to do with Primaris Marines.

Some of the recruits are.
Primaris Marines are different from the Raptor Marines Corax made. Primairs have new organs while Raptors were grown quicker and a bit better.

Cloning's a bit of a taboo, but I'm sure many Imperial worlds could tolerate artificial insemination.

The official rulebook fluff says manpower is the one resource the Imperium will never be short on. I'm pretty sure humans just materialize out of thin air at a constant rate, sort of like RTS minerals.
>>
>>54703617
Technically speaking 40k humans are not humans.

Modern humans die long ago. 40k humans are stone men, made for colonization.
Might be a translation problem but in the 3rd edition rulebook 40k humans are stone men

No, the 3rd edition rulebook clearly says golden men die long before the Dark Age of Technology and only the Stone men survive

Women are in real armies both historically and contemporarily. Women canonically serve in the Imperial Guard. The Imperium is no where near short of people so your "women need to be pregnant all the time" argument completely falls flat. This has been pointed out many times and your only response is to autistically screech and call everyone else fetishists and 'masturbation addicts'.

At this point you are only embarrassing yourself.

Ynnari requires that you take one of their hqs, none of which are on bikes. So that one fails
Playing under the Eldar keyword you can run whatever you'd like though. Like imperium you just take whatever the fuck you want and stick it in a detachment with no consequences.

Shining spears are good, probably better as ynnari but still good.
Jetseers are good
Bike Autarchs are alright

Windriders are kind of meh

Warlocks are also kind of overpriced on bikes.

Vypers are kind of bad, i'd expect price reductions in the codex since both books so far have seen massive sweeping cost reductions or firepower increases on most undertuned units and that's before the bonus rules and shit kick in.

Don't know about reavers I'm not a DE player yet.

I checked out Reavers and noticed they couldnt hyper-specialize by giving every motherfucker a blaster

So here's what I got

1500 Points, 6 CP

Outrider Detachment

Autarch Skyrunner (130)
-Fusion Gun
-Laser Lance
-Mandiblaster

Shining Spears x3 (132)
-Exarch with Star Lance

Shining Spears x3 (132)
-Exarch with Star Lance

Shining Spears x3 (132)
-Exarch with Star Lance

Shining Spears x3 (132)
-Exarch with Star Lance

Outrider Detachment

Farseer Skyrunner (171) (knows Doom and probably something else idgaf)

Windrunner x4 (128)
-Shuriken Cannons

Windrunner x3 (96)
-Shuriken Cannons

Windrunner x3 (96)
-Shuriken Cannons

Outrider Detachment

Warlock Skyrunner (87) (knows Enhance)

Vyper (88)
-Shuriken Cannon x2

Vyper (88)
-Shuriken Cannon x2

Vyper (88)
-Shuriken Cannon x2

none of my local meta are Conscript Spam garbage so 16 Shuiken Cannons + the Shining Spears when theyre done devouring everything else should suffice for light infantry, really tough expensive-looking shit gets lit up with Doom and then rammed with an Autarch and 12 Shining Spears with Enhance on as many as possible

I really wanted to afford a second Warlock for more Enhance spread but I needed the Doom in case scary Toughness 8 things wandered my way, and figure more bodies is worth more than +1 aura dispenser

Gotta go fast

13 drops. You're going to go last and give up first blood every single game. Not sure if that's worth the extra CP. MSU is bad for fortune/guide too but i guess that's the tradeoff with saving yourself from overkill.

I think banshee mask is better than mandiblasters but that's just me.
>>
>>54704650
I figured a guy with a 30" charge radius is gonna get the charge often enough that the 1/6 free wound was better than going first JUST IN CASE something manages to jump me

Auto-going last is a very good point and I guess Im just used to hoarding as many CP as possible from the other army I play

Though getting less CP when I plan on spamming 2 psychic powers every turn (with adequately high checks to cast) makes me wary.

I'd probably have to use it in both MSU mode and maximum biker blob, just to see how they compare to each other

Isha looks like a fantasy elf

Khaine is huge, has horns larger than his head, constantly drips blood from his hand, and burns with so much rage he's on fire

>>54704914
Two of them. Who both have the same features and the same end goal.

>>54704718
It's not about the charge, it's about what happens after you charge. Like when you don't wipe the unit or when your opponent inevitably charges your melee unit that just wiped his squad with his units.

You're casting 3. Warlocks don't autopass any more.
Farseers can reroll one or both dice once during every psychic phase for free so keep in mind that if you're failing, a lot of the time you won't be able to command reroll or it simply won't be worth it (ie rolling 1 and 2, needing a 5+ on a command reroll is shitty odds and not worth it).

Yeah, testing max MSU and blob is a good idea. You'll probably end up with a comfortable middle ground.
>>
>>54705050
A quick look-over at the list saw me managing to drop it to 8 units, spread across 2 Outrider Detachments

2 units of 6 Spears, 2 units of 5 Windriders, 1 squadron of 3 Vypers

Losing 2 Star Lances for no gain stings, but I suppose it'd make getting more spears the Autarch buff and Enhance much easier

And I had forgotten that sticking the Vypers together was required to proc Blade Wind
>>
>>54705084
I haven't run vypers but i don't know if blade wind is worth having to squadron them. It's a real pity that eldar dont have the combat squad-like rules that space marines and 'nids and orks get. It is probably really hard to get cover for 3 vehicles at once and you'll be in range of something worth shooting with 16" movement and 24" range anyway. Still, you're mostly trying to minimize the odds of going last without hurting yourself too much.

if you know your meta well enough you might manage to tailor your drop count to work towards your advantage. If everyone's bringing fucking knights or SR spam then you may as well go for the full msu.

Don't forget that larger units benefit more from Guide/Fortune as well if you don't want to cast smite every turn.
>>
>>54705217
The main thing vypers bring to the table is having something in my army that can actually take bolter fire worth a damn

By all rights I should probably just drop them for more Windriders, but I really like how they look. Vypers are just a really pleasing design, to me

They just don't have access to weapons that would really shine on them, I feel
