What's your favourite model to paint, /40kg/, the one you're always happy to paint more of? For me it's the basic fire warrior, they're pretty easy to paint with lots of nice sharp edges for highlighting, but still involved enough to keep me interested (i.e. it's not just a case of doing the whole model one or two colours then slapping a drybrush & wash over the top).

post your hype faces, DG bros!

Bought a Chaos Predator for my DG today.

Kinda regret it after reading Plagueburst Cralwer profile. It can also do anti-tank with 36" sponson meltas and D6 S8, -2ap and d3 damage mortar.

Are Predators sufficiently unique in application to justify themselves? Are they sufficiently nurgly in aesthetic?

You already own the model, so you have some options:
• Keep it as a predator, magnetize the gun options so you're not stuck with one loadout.
• Convert it into something else.
• Sell it for a loss.

Didn't even look at the price because they'll sure be way too expensive for what you get, but these DG dice sure do look pretty.

File: biovore.jpg (42KB, 600x620px) Image search: [Google]

42KB, 600x620px

Can someone explain to me why people say that biovores are good? They're 36 points for a 1/2 chance to have a 1/6 chance to do nothing, 2/3 chance to do 1 wound, 1/6 chance to do d3 wounds (average .5 wounds per shot). If you miss you can set up a spore mine, except you won't be able to do this against bubble wrapped units. Even if we assume you'll be able to set up the spore mine every and it ends up exploding on the target that still only brings up the average to 1 wound per shot. At one shot per turn, assuming all of the ideal conditions for setting up the spore mines, it's 36 points per wound, hardly the exemplar of efficiency.

This shit is better than a Predator. 162 points for Long Range build:
D6 S8 Ap-2 D3 damage, 12-48" range, no LoS needed.
2 S8, Ap-4, D6 damage, 36" range sponsons (basically long range meltas)

They have to take an average of 1 mortal wound (0 wounds on 1, d3 wounds on 6, 1 wound on 2-5).

Simplest options is to get that blue easy-mold stuff and smash a genestealer head in there, then try and use the mold to make a greenstuff cast.

The point is that they can't move through the spore mines. Spore mines are great area denial. Put a fence behind your enemy so they can't run away or put a fence in front of the enemy's charge.

Right, forgot that 2d3 can't get a 1. Either way, if you really need that 6 a 1d6 is going to leave you in better shape. You're not always looking for a unit to perform at it's average. Though now that I think of it, 2d3 is probably(?) even better when it comes to re-rolls because you can choose which die to re-roll.

Ooooo, okay, now this makes sense. Since they can't move within 1" of it during the movement phase a couple of them can block an entire unit. The way I had been thinking about it in my mind was that they'd just walk through it, eat the wound, and keep going, but because it explodes in the charge phase it will block them during the movement phase. Thank you, I get it now.

A relative newcomer to 40k and mini painting here. Used to paint horrible looking minis when i was a kid. Had no access to internet or to any guides. Took a 10 year break from it and this time i want to do it properly.

What's the point of priming your minis? Is it necessary? I prefer painting my minis before assembling them so priming the bits feels like somewhat of a hassle.

That's fine, but don't paint on the sprue. Drill a little hole, stick a wire or paperclip in, stick that in a cork. pic related.

>>55306214
Do it dude..

I just looked at the index preview and it is pure purified bliss!!!

>>55306347
It gives your subsequent paint something to 'stick' to so that it works.

Also depending on the colour, can add to the model. Painting over black or white primer can give differenteffects.

Black base will make the final model look darker. White will make it look brighter. I've never used colored primer before, but other people seem to have okay results. Regardless, never buy GW white primer, it's terrible.

>>55306451
Depends on your colour scheme. Not even sure there is pink spray anyway.

I'd go for Black if you are going for a traditional scheme. If you are going for a light scheme, go white.

While we are all living in Nurgles gooey embrace, i would like to ask.

What is the best way to paint a DG Pallid Hand army??

I have tried a bunch of different option, basing with zandari then layering up to skull, getting a cheap zandari excuse for a base spray and basing them that way, and now i am on to trying shades.

Am i on the right path now or is there a obvious way i am missing?

>>55306602
Yeah???? So long as they dont have the same name

>>55306602
You cannot stack two of the same buffs, if they are named differently but offer the same bonus then yes you can. For example two Apothecaries wont give you two rolls but IH tactic and Venerable dreadnought does give you two rolls to ignore a wound.

>>55306591
Why not all of the above.

Alpha Leg. aint against using anything to win.

More detachments, equal more fun.

I do think though people were saying cultists and ambush forces, but don't quote me on that.

>>55306602
Well there's two ways to interpret the FAQ
>if a unit is getting the same buff even if the name or discription is different they can only benefit from one
>strakens buff vs a priest
>if they have the exact same name you can't benefit from the buff twice
>two priests in once squad

>>55306742
I dunno, I feel like I could have done a lot better

I've only been painting for about 8 months, so I think I'm behind where I should be

The Primaris I did are boring as fuck, and the Nurgle Daemons in the background were my laziest job ever where I tried to do EVERYTHING with washes because I was scared of paint. Haven't finished them off, but the Death Guard is giving me the impetus to get the details completed

New to 8th edition, a bit confused on battleforged armies. Can I take any imperial unit in a detachment, or do I have to keep them in different ones. For example can I run a space marine captain with a guardsmen infantry squad as a patrol, or does it have to be a space marine patrol + a imperial guard patrol separate?

>>55306766

-love alpharius

>>55306890
He has two weapon profiles. Sx2, Ap-4, D6 damage. Plague Weapon.

Second profile: S user, Ap-2, D1. Plague Weapon. Each attack is counted as 3.

So either 6/5/4 S16, Ap-4, D6 damage, rerolling 1s (Or everything with warlord trait)

Or 18/15/12 S8 attacks, Ap-2, 1 damage, rerolling 1s (or everything with warlord trait).

His pistol is Pistol 1, 18" range. S8 Ap-3, 3 damage. You pick a model and draw a line to it. Everything in the way you roll to hit with.

Finally he has phosphex grenades which is grenade 6" 2d6 S5 ap-1, 1 damage, plague weapon. So basically 2d6 heavy bolter with plague weapon, rerolling everything if he's your warlord.

He's basically very good at killing hordes and heavy stuff. He has tons of Aoe mortal wounds too, and a -1 toughness aura. He can also reroll 1s to hit as an aura too.

He's very good. He's only really weak against things with a high invuln save and high wounds. If he's facing terminators with 3++ he can just mortal wounds em to death. If he's facing Guilliman though, he has trouble.

>>55306890

Yup that's the plan, right now I think my list is gonna be about 40 cultists backed up by a couple squads of dudes with missile launchers hiding in buildings, two terminator squads, one shooty and one choppy, a couple havoc squads hiding in buildings, and two sourcerors to buff and fight with the termies
Elite as fuck and not very good but it seems like a really fun list that's a lot different from my other army

>>55306971
Damn. I was hoping he'd be a good answer to Grey Knight Grand Master Dreadknight spam. I still think wearing them down with overlapping aura Mortal wounds might be viable.

Jesus Christ I'm really torn between Renegades and Death Guard. Should I just try and bullshit it and say my Mk3 marines are Plague Marines, and only get characters, Termies, Drones, and Mortarion? Or dump them on eBay and start anew?

Hmm I'm not good at math.

How well does he do? 21 attacks from DTTFE. So lets assume he makes 19 hits.

The 19 hits wound on 3s, rerolling. So that's what? 15-16 wounds?

5 wounds after saves? Not gonna kill him

>>55307067
>changing the goalsposts

Guilliman is extra weak against Morty specifically because you want to lump up units around him, so Mortarion has more units to mortal wound with aura procs.

So what sort of buff did guilliman get to be able to go toe to toe with daemon primarchs now?
Wasn't he like the ganondorf of the primarchs? Decently strong but couldn't hold his own against any upper tier primarchs like angron?

Magnus and two other LoWs is pretty common Chaos list, and Mortarion is strong addition to that. Mostly because with 500pts you can make two Battalions with Changelings, Heralds and bunch of Brimstone Horrors.

this isn't funny, it's literally what both concepts are based on. In the 70s edgy hippies popularized the concept of free-form magical practices through fanzines, mostly through the concept of "chaos magick" involving collective psychic resonance.

The concept ended up finding its way into 2000 AD comics and then into Warhammer.

Good lad.
So begins the SORT.

Remember you must save your father from the belly of the whale my friend.

So there have been some fluff leaks from the codex. One of them has the Death Guard and Tyranids fighting over a world. The Tyranid biotoxins and Nurgle diseases mix and multiple so much that when the Hive Fleet tasted the planet it went NOPE and left the planet to the Death Guard.

Justify this, nidfags.

How much of a faggot would I be to bring a Sicaran in low-ish point games? At what point amount does it become acceptable if ever?

>>55307390
Never bring it below 2000, and even then probably keep it to tournaments/competitve meta areas.

>>55307390
Bring it whenever, sure it's strong but it's not unkillable or something

>>55307390
They are worse Predators, so any point level is fine.

Tyranids can adapt to Nurgle diseases, but the toxins and diseases probably infected the environment and made it so deadly, the Hive Mind would have to spend more biomass to update the immune system of all of its nids than it would gain from eating the planet.

In a slightly related topic, how does a Tyranid player kill Mortarion or Magnus? I struggle with Guilliman, can't imagine going after those two.

The opening crawl

>>55307489
Option two is much more reliable, aka better but option one as better AP and strength.
Even one point of ap is a huge deal.
Strength 8 means it wounds the average infantry toughness of 4 on a 2+ and and wounds the average vehicle toughness of 7 on a 3+.

Option two's ideal target would be used to target squads of multi-wound models of toughness 4-6 like ogryns, dark eldar boats, tyranid warriors, bikers and the like.
Option one is much more unreliable but has a bonus to getting through armour and much better vs things like vehicles so it's ideal target would be things like terminators, transports, characters and everything option two would like to target on top of that but worse at it.

>Magic bullshit guys who are immune to all toxins

Just saying, if the planet was at the point where the Tyranids were already starting to eat it, then the 'Nids were probably winning that war. Besides, one planet doesn't matter when you're a multi-galactic menace.

Buy their index/codex to get an idea of the structure of the army you want.
Consider the their respective start collecting kit.

Why live?

Except for that one Eldar strategy game Rites of Battle (?), Fire Warrior, and that Ork vehicle combat game they are making.

Actually, Tyranids harvest while they fight. In Shadowbrink, the Tyranids went to overdrive harvesting as much biomass before the daemons can get a chance to spoil them.

I ask because on paper the Plagueburst crawler seems straight up better than the Predator.

Its only weakness is that its main battle cannon, can't fire within 12". But it is somewhat offset with it being able to fire outside LoS.

The other option we can compare the predator is the lascannons vs the meltas of the Plagueburst. Lascannon is 48", S9, Ap-3 D6. Plague Melta is 36", S8, Ap-4. D6. What would you choose?

In the end the difference between an autocannon+lascannons and battle cannon mortar+meltas is quite small... but the plagueburst comes in 30 points cheaper and has T8 as its hull. So like... what?

Any new lore in DG codex yet ?

I'm not sure it's even the toxins, the hive mind is noted to avoid chaos tainted material.
It's been shown to be able to 'clense' and safely consume chaos tainted material but it avoids interacting with it when it can.

It wont touch daemon worlds and avoids warp storms.

>>55307535

Dont ask /tg/. this place is full of neckbeards that actually cant afford to play and just shitpost all day. You are better off going to your local flgs and ask players there.

Be sure to roll out all those soul grinders!

>>55307652
The Death Guard are the only Traitor Legion that didn't break apart. They are still whole and organised.

Which is totally bullshit.

He isnt even that big

Why the fuck does he cost more than Magnus?

>>55307652

apparently they were chilling on a smelly planets, tyranids come near, but the hive fleet realise nurgle tastes bad and GTFO

>>55307622
OK so one game you made up, one that came out 14 years ago, and one other alleged game that isn't even out yet

Meanwhile, there's been like four or more SM or Human games this year alone

Now that GW is doling out licenses like hot cakes I want to see more variety, that's all

>>55307647
>What would you choose?

One that makes my vehicle with Heavy weapons more likely to move due to lower range while wounding T8 vehicles on 4s, obviously.

According to Tyranid fluff, consumption of a planet doesn't begin until day 51 of the invasion, and by that point, they aren't fighting anymore.

>Primary consumption of bio-mass begins (resistance has generally been eliminated by day 51). Brood ships land, releasing Ripper swarms, which consume all remaining organic material and depositing them at the reclamation pools. Capillary Towers (and the Brood ships) send the material into orbit.
>Source: Codex Tyranids 4e

>>55307659
This guy probably has it right. Just wasn't worth it eating the planet anymore.

>>55307670
Word Bearers also didn't. There is a lot of internal rivalry yes (which traitor legion doesn't have that, even before the whole HH) but they're still together.

>>55307693
Clearly, that isn't always case since we have examples of them harvesting while fighting off threats.

>>55307671

He's the size of the celestant prime, who is $80

Thats one hell of a price creep

What, is Fulgrim going to be $200?

>>55307718
Except if you smell bad

Bravo GW

>>55307627
Don't, people are going to argue about energy loss and mass gain math.

>>55307647
Meltas>lascannons just for the extra ap.
>30 points cheaper and has T8 as its hull.
Yeah, that sounds flat out superior and it's situational whether it's better to have a pred autocannon or the plague morter.

>>55307636

Check your local scene, check out local games stores. Got a GW store vaguely near you?

>>55307741
4 hours away so no

Going to have to Google then, and hope for the best. I've played D&D before with matched randos and not exactly had a great experience, so IDK what to expect

>>55307752
Those are the two tallest/biggest Primarchs right there

How is Angronlet going to compete?

>>55307718
IIRC, at Shadow Brink, the native defenders were already dead, and the Tyranids didn't recognize the Daemons as a threat until later, so by that point, they were at the threat phase.

As to the Death Guard example, once again from the Tyranids 4e codex:
>Day 13 Tyranids will have expanded to 700 km from the drop point; may begin infesting local water sources.
So, it's possible they were only at that point, and actually got out relatively early.

>>55307783
Gonna have to look around and find a scene
Good luck and have fun

>>55307758
>Alpha Legion
Maybe not deliberate, but they're so deep into scheming it is doubtful any Alpha Legionnaire knows what is going on or why they are doing it all exactly
