Soon

I'm playing vs tau in a couple hours.

I'm not sure whether to use my new guard or my new thousand sons. I've had a few games with guard, but I've never seen tsons fielded, much less used them myself.

I'm doing 1000 pts, and I have ahriman, 2 rubric squads, and termies. Aside from shitting out smites, what else should I be doing?

Alternatively, I have guard, and I'm trying to make them steel legion, though at the moment, I got the army secondhand and they had them as cadians, so I just have a lot of footsoldiers...aside from shitting out conscripts, what should I try and focus on/field?

Yes. I thought I was out of luck when I started sawing Dark Imperium bodies but I managed to make an extra marine using the right leg and back from the Plaguecaster and the left leg from the champion. Best part is he uses pieces from seven different models.

This pleases Nurgle

Just played my new ork army (90 boys 2 Warbosses battlewaggon). How you do short cut close combat?
My opponent didn't really have an issue with me eye balling 3" consolations but how would you do that with a try hard? Is it just that many little movements?

Grenade stuff for DG:

Get 7 random memey Plague Marines within range of something you don't like. Then use the Grenade Bombardment stratagem and VotLW while being close to Grenade Guy.

You now do 7d6, S4, Ap-0, 2D attacks which reroll 1s to wound and gain +1 to wound. On top of this, every 5+ is a mortal wound in addition to any other damage.

Cooool.

Did the guard anon with the steel legion army post a battle report this week? I haven't seen one.

I'm a new player to the game and picked Orks and I have the same concern. I very often repeat "this cool with you?" While trying to speed things up and kinda shove boyz around.

Our shop has a lot of those crater scenery pieces and those are a nightmare to move boyz onto cus they won't stand up.

Honestly playing large amounts of models is a bit exhausting, I feel like I'd much prefer a smaller elite army.

I have an all day tournament this weekend out of town where I'll probably play no one I know and I'm kinda dreading it.

>>55370163
I managed to get seven parts on the champion too! Papa bless them!

All Grey Knights Brother-Captains have a special rule where they can double the range of any Smite that is casted with 6" of them. Brother-Captain Stern has a special AoE Smite that affects DAEMON units, however it is only 6" in range. But since he is a friendly GREY KNIGHTS unit within 6" of himself, shouldn't his Smite actually be 12"?

>>55370246
I mean, it wounds 5/6th of the time.

You'll hit 2/3rds of the time, and wound 5/6th of the time. That's 55% of the time.

>>55370229
Grenade Guy makes them s4. Other Grenade Guy makes one of them Grenade 2d6, I think.

>>55370229
They are S4 with the aura buff of the grenade guy, faggot.

He gives grenades thrown within 3" of him +1s, +1d and a MW on a 6+

>>55370244
Who is Grenade Guy?

>>55370191
>implying they can get that close
Relying on bumrush Melee tactics isn't good. The only units that are even good at it are zerkers and stealers.

Hard counter: 2 onagers with neutron lasers.

>>55370246
5 out of 6, not 5+.
Illiterate

>>55370260
Other grenade guy is better described as stinky flamer guy. He just happens to also have an extra big grenade.

His flamer is really fun, plus he has a stink aura which causes your enemies which charged to alternate instead of going first within 7" of him.

>>55370273
Pop smoke on rhino and cast miasma of pestilence on it, for -2 to hit. Should make it quite tanky.

There aren't really any shortcuts if your opponent insists you do it by the book. It really comes down to practice so you're comfortable doing all the movement quickly. This is really important to get down if you plan to field a horde in tournament. What can help is using a fixed movement template like this one rather than a tape measure. Usually it's easier to use for these kind of repetitive movements and is clearer for your opponent. Lots of companies make them.

>>55370257
Yes.

>>55370257
Guilliman's aura that affects Ultramarines units counts for himself, so I'd say yes.

>>55370273
>Using at on a rhino
It's 200 points +transport for a 6" gimmick. Only good for the meme or if they're comming to you, pairs well with DG improved flamers to counter charges.

>>55370316
I think there are some of those at my LGS.
I might just play smaller Orks games. I already have both a Ultramarine and Guard army.

>>55370188
Only nearly guarantee the Wound roll, and that's against T6 and under. Hitting on 3+ probably, only -3AP and possible invulns and FnPs will likely leave the net probability at below even. 3 damage is nice, though.

>>55370366

>>55370315
>dude mortal wounds lmao
Death Guard sound so unfun to fight against.

What are Deathshroud stats?
From my calculation they shoud be M3
6(standard)-1(termie)-1(cataphractii)-1(nurgle)=3
Are they W3? They shoud be W3 or W4.

>>55370384
Night Lords do.

>>55370119
Mortars, non-LoS fire support, and character killers.

With the nerf to cover tau have become flimsy. They don't have a lot of indirect weaponry without some manner of markerlights on the target, so your cheap mortar teams can do a lot of damage. The Wyvern has been nerfed but can still pull its weight.

Tau characters are almost ad powerful as guard officers, which means they should be a priority target. If you have any assassins, bring one, and if you have any ratlings, bring them and have them scamper in and out of LoS (they can move before and after shooting) while popping enemy officers.

Cut off the head and the body will die...to artillery.

>>55370403
They have quite a bit, but it's far less consistent than smite spam armies.

What's the best way of dealing with large hordes other than other hordes? Assuming GEQ/Boy defensive stats?

>>55370406
I believe the Nurgle Termies are all M4.

>>55370403
They're unreliable, expensive, and close range. Don't sweat it.

>>55370403
Not really, most of their mortal wounds are in the 7" radius around units or characters.

>>55370406
They are M4, W2, 2+, 4++, 5+++. I believe they have 3 attacks base, 4 with sergeant.

They give characters nearby +1 attack (except Mortarion). And they can 'take a hit' instead of a character on a 2+.

That's all we know really in terms of rules and stats.

What should I give my havocs? And are autocannons worth it with the price hike they got?

>>55370407
Are you saying multiple identical NL units cumulatively decrease the enemy's LD?

>>55370403
They're slow with limited range. They're super unfun to play as if your opponent is smart and shooty, but great fun to play as if your opponent is dumb and choppy.

You can just mitigate it by having a second melee weapon. Make ONE attack with the Adamantine Arm, and make the rest with s0mething like a Power Axe. Core rules of 8th edition are fun like that.

>>55370422
Volume of shooting backed with re-rolls. Various Gatling guns of all sorts come to mind.

>>55370473
It's still not impressive desu, meme filled, but irrelevant.

>>55370422
Some "blast" weapons get extra attacks if there's a higher number of models in a unit iirc.

Like the grav flux bombard on the leviathan dread gets d3 attacks, but another d3 for every 5 models in the unit your targeting.

>>55370459
Lascannons, or Missile Launchers if your meta is really horde heavy.

>>55370477
>>55370518
Thanks

>>55370518
>missile launchers
Mixing equal parts lascannon and heavy bolter is almost always better.

>>55370294
True enough, but everyone I play with casts it solely on pox walkers for whatever reason.
Still, this is more of a counter for rhino rush in general, yeah poping smoke helps, but the average of two n-lasers is somewhere around 3-4 and all it takes to cripple the movement of a rhino is 4 damage. The minimum damage a n-laser can do is 3 and you still have another waiting to smash smash the metal box in.

>>55370480

>>55370459
That depends on what you're playing against. Lascannons, heavy bolters and missile launchers are the best bet, pick and choose based on the rest of your army list and meta.

Relics are free now.

>>55370191
But can't you only throw one grenade per squad?

>>55370119
You'll wipe infantry off the table and are resistant to small arms, but rubrics DIE a slow death in melee. The aspiring sorcerer is NOT a melee powerhouse of any kind. Also, tanks are a problem.

Soulreaper Cannon is 15 points now, not 20.

Field a unit of cultists and a Malefic Lord ( HQ, 30 points, renegades and heretics) so you'll have full batallion. Veterans of the Long War stratagem will let you wound most tanks on 4+, letting you use that inferno AP to actually blow up vehicles. Anti-vehicle options are otherwise limited to daemon engines and hellbrutes.

Hellbrutes in particular are great distraction carnifexes (scourge and heavy bolter)

So I am new to wh and looking at armies and detachments. Can I mix and match ANYTHING in an army as long as they are in different detachments?

/40kg/
What year did you get into Warhammer, and what was your first army?

I'll go first:
2008-09. Orks. There's something about them that still appeals to me, but I ended up dropping them for Necrons because I discovered very quickly that I preferred tougher armies. Now, I sort of miss those days, and wish I had a shooty Blood Axes army.

>>55370646
Personally I think 30k Deathshroud look like ass. Grave Wardens look much better.

>>55370674
2016, my first army was Dark Eldar. I still play them, but recently(read: 2 weeks ago) I started on Steel Legion and Thousand Sons armies.

>>55370691
Which is to say I'm glad they changed the armor.

>>55370718
>half of your turns it does nothing

>>55370668
For matched play your whole army must share a keyword. This means that Imperium, Chaos, Aeldari, Orks, Necrons, Tau, and Tyranids(+Guard if you have GSC) are a wide as you can go.

>>55370642
Doesn't need to, whoever's got that thing hits considerably harder than a Power Fist. Arm-wrestling contest might be fun, though.

>>55370626

That was a pretty sweet idea, actually. Free customization and modelling opportunities, with more for command points. Even if something is like "Your entire army becomes BS2+" I'd probably still pay for the bitchslap on some random guy.

Ok. So I can do a CSM detachment + Daemon detachment since they are both chaos, but lose out on synergy from having just 2x CSM ?

>>55370674
2010 I think. I was in Austria with my cousins and we got the AoBR set. I took the Ork side.

Later expanded to Tau and Tyranids, and my other Cousin gifted me some Eldar but I've then since sold the Tyranids then the Tau. Thinking of downsizing the Eldar too, or at least just delegate them to display as I don't actually play them and Orks are my true love.

I do kind of miss 5e's Nob bikers. Haven't played Ork bikers beyond a lone Warboss in what feels like forever with the loss of that wound allocation, and now their portable cover (maybe a codex would fix that with Klan rules?)

>>55370674

I don't think they're stocky, bland or dumb. I think they look exactly as normal and human as they need to, because they're the straight man to the ridiculously over the top design of every other army in the game.

I love the feel of beating the alien scourge, or the green horde, or the heretic masses with normal green army dudes.

Fabius is using damonic shittery instead of making good honest Primarchs, which we already know he can create.
Because he's done it before.
And he has a complete God-Maker gland (Horus'), where Cawl only has one half.
But GW won't let him do it. He has spent 10000 years doing nothing with a complete Horus' gene sequence and Primarch-making gland, the one which Primaris Marines only have half of.

>>55370857
Make sure you entirely kill off units and things that do mortal wounds, and not leave a bunch barely alive but still able to do their thing. Playing against GK is a bit like that already, they'll murder pretty much anything with Smite spam when they still have all their units, but once the total number of units starts to drop the mortal wounds quickly start to become insignificant.

>>55370894
The IG are shrouded in a cloud of memes. They're protected from the actual game that is 8E, shoo.

>>55370884
Trust me, the dark angels aren't losing out in the faggotry category. Neither are the gay knights.

>>55370775
Badass. Metal. Pimp. Slap.

What part of this concept is difficult to comprehend? It's free aside from Relic Opportunity Cost, it'd be cool to model and run in casual games. Sure, if I'm going Full Meta admech probably not, but it might be fun.

Graham Mcneill does a great job with chaos in fulgrim and angel exterminatus. ADB is a good writer too. But he's not the be all end all of 40k writers.

>>55370674
2005. Tyranids. I was drawn to the hobby from DoW and friends who collected it. One collected Necrons, the other Chaos. I looked at all the factions on the GW website and thought that Dark Eldar looked coolest, even with their ancient 2nd edition models at the time. However Tyranids had just got a new codex and a massive box filled with lots of models, so I figured that was good value and I bought it. There was also a Tyranids vs Ultramarines box set which I bought. Also bought a couple of battle forces. Back then it was £50 for a Carnifex, 3 warriors, 10 gants, 10 hormogaunts and 10 genestealers IIRC.

Most of it went to waste, since I was young, didnt really know how the rules worked. Initiative, armor penetration, retreat etc... was all really confusing for a newcomer and I just burned out after a few months.

Kept interest though, with the newer DoW games, with various cool stuff. I was tempeted to jump back in when I saw the redesign of the Dark Eldar. I remember seeing an interview with Jes Goodwin and it was so cool, sadly I hadn't the funds.

Now I have my own job and shit, so I started again, this time with Death Guard since new models and a big starter set. So far I've painted/based etc around 1000pts from the starter set and I'm happy with it. Not looking around for a new army or anything, just wanna start playing.

>>55370910
He should kill the enemy, of course. Why didn't he think of that before :^)

Are there any animeish heads I could use to replicate this look? For the life of me I can't think of any weaboo tabletop games that might have the bits that would work. Just some kind of nice female elf head bit would do, only other real alternative I can think of is Wood Elf head, with how little armor they have on them.

>>55370951
My Black Knights are really good at wrecking shit with plasma spam. GK with some psilencer Purgators could do some serious damage using the S+1 AP-1 strategem. Only problem is, if that fails to kill them then those units are assfucked. They can hit hard but die as easily as any other power armored unit.

>>55370874

>>55370874
That's great.

>>55370884
Depends on the DG army I guess. If you are facing a good morty and poxwalker screen and deathshround support with multiple layered buffs you are pretty much fucked as a pure cc list. You won't get to the buff characters and it's takes to long to chew through the screening units to survive the mortal wound spam.

What you need to do is trying to keep them busy and on a corner of the battlefield they don't want to be while you play the mission.

If you want to try to kill the blob you'll have to peel off the buffs before you get into cc. GKs have decent firepower and good smiting power themselfs. problem is that you will most likely die if you don't do enough damage before you get close.

So yeah, might be a hardcounter for your list.

Orks have it worse I would say. They have almost nothing to throw at DG in general and will just die.

>>55371022
>Being this triggered

>>55370995
Oh yeah, all those Daemon Engines and whatnot do have the DAEMON keyword. That is an awful lot of 3 mortal wounds a turn. Combine that with a Brother-Captain to make all Smite in 6" double and you get a 24" gunline of Smite and bolterfire which can be enhanced with Psybolt Ammunition. Sounds nasty.

I got this army off a friend and a box of random half painted bits.

>>55370996

>>55370674
2002, I got a box of Tau Fire Warriors and had no idea what they were for. I just knew they looked neat. Found out they were unpainted models that had to be assembled and spent the whole day with my dad painting them. Realized months later, it was part of an actual game. Went to local Hobby Town and saw all the armies and painted figures.

My first army turned out to be Blood Angels. I got a second hand LR Godhammer pattern, CC Termies, some Bolter Marines, and the old hybrid Honor Guard boxes along with the old hybrid Death Company boxes. It was awesome, my dudes moved fast, all had furious charge, and were all limited to a $17 fifteen page codex. I still have it. I then went to the Guard when the Vostroyans were released. Stayed there for a while then sold them. After that I took a break. I got into the xenos when the new DE book and models came out in 2008. Took mid to tail end of 5th and the entirety of 6th edition off. Came back for 7th, started collecting Tau, but it was part of an old collection I had. Didn't pick up a single Riptide until last year. Just got a Stormsurge about a month ago.

Never tried to play cheesy, just liked to have fun and played what I thought was good and fun. In the process of getting everything cleaned and ready to prime. All my FWs, Pathfinders, Crisis Team, and Devilfish are primed.

Just for army choice probably Admech or Orks. If you want to do a completely custom army then just pick one with suitable rules, but AM has an excuse to convert pretty much anything Imperial it can ally as well as Counts-as for their own units, and Orks are Orks, and thus loot everything.

Does the 3rd troops choice need a transport? There will normally be at least one objective in your deployment zone that needs standing on.

>>55371201
There is some overlap, but I'd say Orks if plasticard is your medium of choice and Chaos if you're into greenstuff.

No other armies come close to their potential imo

Rate your most common enemy factions in terms of scariness on the tabletop, what worries you and what you can easily handle.

I normally fight variations on Loyalist Marines and Blood Angels, although in a relatively casual meta. Hellblasters and lascannon Preds scare the hell out of me, as does the Guilliman/heavy gun blobs that I tend to come up against, but they seem to have a lot of troops that don't do much other than stand around and get shot. Khorne Bezerkers are surprisingly simple kills, but Hellforged Levi dreads have been kicking the crap out of me and I can't really do much about Night Lords raptor swarms.
Most players seem to have some meta stuff by sheer chance around here like Guilliman or Magnus, but everything else is a bit of a random pile/the results of two or three Primaris starter boxes. I'm still pretty new myself, feel like I need a Cawl and more Vanguard to focus fire and block DS.

No army "needs" conversion. You can play anything perfectly fine out of the box.

>>55371553
Very few if any armies *need* conversions these days, 20 years ago and before GW actually made minis for all the options they let you take in the codex (they made no powerklaw warboss for example) you needed to get yourself a saw and pinning wire, but these days you'll be fine without having to chop anything up.

>>55371553
I wouldn't necessarily recommend going in for major conversions when starting out in the hobby. But once you've got a bit of practice, are fairly familiar with how the kits go together, and have accumulated a pile of spare bits, it can be fun to start changing things.

>>55371553
>don't need a lot of conversion?
No army really "needs" conversions at all other than arm swaps for Havocs or similarly ancient and unupdated units, and blind idiots can manage those. Running totally stock armies is fine, almost everyone started out that way and many carry on with it. If you choose to convert stuff you'll probably botch the first couple goes like everyone else, but that's what freezing superglue is for.
Conversions are just a positive for tinkering about with stuff to make cool HQs, or maybe theme some allied units in with your army better. Nothing really to be gained from deliberately cutting yourself off from future tricks.

Also, even if you're NOT converting for gods sake get a knife to do mouldlines and flash, or it'll all look godawful.

Greenstuff is a lot easier to work with than you think it would be. I just used some for the first time last night on a few berzerker conversions and as long as you keep your hands/tools wet you can do a lot with it. Basically, converting's not hard at all. You just have to know what you're doing.

If you don't wanna convert at all though, you don't have to. Just about every army works just fine out of the box and people just like to convert to give their armies that personal touch.

Except necrons. I HATE NECRONS. My first ten or games were against a necrons player who played nothing but decurion detachments, and I have never enjoyed how stupidly, frustratingly, HAIRPULLINGLY hard they are to kill.

It all depends on how much work you're willing to put into your army. A nice diorama base isn't actually all that difficult, just look up some YouTube tutorials. If you're planning on doing more than just slathering on some texture paint then you probably shouldn't glue the models down before basing.

10 man Tatical squad was equipped with 1 heavy and 1 secial weapon.
Legion squad was 10-20 all boltgun, but they have support squads(5-10 guys with special weapon) and heavy support squads (5-10 guys with heavy weapon).
But Chapter have 1000 guys when legion have 100 000. Chapters needed to be flexible because they haven't many guys and Guillmans numarines aren't flexible at all.

Slugger has got to be on the right, the bore size is much bigger.

Sounds like left has rate of fire, right has power. Stats?

I'm currently thinking about mixing the forge worlds in different detachments. I guess there might be some additional synergies hidden.
I mean stuff cawl in a spearhead, but a dominus as warlord in a melee heavy / infantry / plasma detachment and look what sticks.

Sad to do a patchwork army, but there's still hope.

Especially since I've heard that rangers will be dropped to 8 and vanguard to 9.

Additionally, Enginseers will be HQ

>>55372046
Heavy Slugger:

36", Heavy 4, S5, Ap-1, D1. 6 points.

Volley Gun:

24", Heavy 3, S6, Ap-2, D1. 12 points.

>>55371962
My limit for cons is 60-70 total and that's for tourney lists
I'm really liking how guard is, they've got stronger units and lots of options, some guys who have never gotten much love got buffed (ogryns, rough riders)
My only gripe is some units have gotten so good (scions) that it leaves other units that serve a similar purpose in the dust (mechanized vets)
When I'm playing in a tourney or just a try hard environment I usually run a backbone of my two squads of conscripts, scions, my thunderbolt fighter, and shitloads of artillery buffed by Harker
In more funsy games I love two squads of four ogryns in chimeras, some Russ variants, rough riders, and other shinanigans mixed in to dilute my try hardness and make it more fun

t-thanks

I'll glue them shits to the bases. I want to do it right from the start, and make it look pretty, but for the base I think some rocks and paint would do it, and I can pepper the base with some rocks around the feet.

Yes. Your point?
Do keep in mind there are also chapters that are Primaris only.
No tacticals, no scouts, no bikers
Only Big Guys with bolter and plasma.

I think the place for veterans is in airdrop.

A team of vets with a heavy flamer, 3 plasma guns, and a platoon commander (and commissar if you're feeling excessive) is a nice package to dump out of a valkyrie. They arrive in rapid fire range and the commander can order them not to kill themselves when they shoot.

Of course a Command Squad does the same job for less points, but it doesn't have the wounds to stick around.

>>55372145
I thought vets could only take one special weapon and a heavy flamer now?

>>55372168
True, though I could buy a whole unit for what it'd cost to get a legit Kingdom Death pinup these days, it really surprises me the Japs don't have any anime themed tabletop games, I can only think of anime themed games made by westerners

I've been making these screens for /wfg/ and they seem to dig them, but since I've usually been more of a 40k player I figured I'd post one here. I was going to make it the front page of way back then, but then I saw this article and, well... I thought it was a nice contrast between then and now. Figured you guys might get a kick out of it.

>>55372145
>Of course a Command Squad does the same job for less points, but it doesn't have the wounds to stick around.
Can you give orders to your own command squad?

>>55372152
>>55372158
just saying...I mean I would have loved another HQ choice, but well, thats what we get.

Nu GW, everyone.

Instead of getting butthurt, think about how this gives us a dirtcheap HQ instead of a 135 point batallion tax. Better than nothing. Still shit, but better than nothing.

>>55372240
Yes because they're a different unit

>>55372228
They are. 35mm. But GW's 28mm has crept up to basically 32mm over the years. As part of an extensive conversion you can probably make it work.

>>55372216
The Japanese plastic model market is largely consumed by Gundam.

Not going to happen

>>55372193
Nope, it's 3 special weapons and a heavy flamer. Almost as much dakka as a full squad of scions, but cheaper. Perfect for that surprise melta suicide squad.

>>55372253
It should be pretty clear by this point that the AdMech book is a model-less release. Since GW doesn't do rules without some kind of model these days this is about the best possible outcome.

>>55372317
You need socialization for that. That's where 40k fails.

Sorry, tried to tinyurl it but 4chan flipped its shit.

hey sorry i'm sure all the new player questions get annoying but I'm getting into 40k after reading loads of lore all summer and i don't know whether to collect Dark Eldar or Celestial Lions

A dude at my local store told me i'd struggle more with DE but for all i know he could've been talking out of his ass

which do you guys think i should collect as a noob? they both seem rad

Can't fit it all in a list. I may have to drop Mortartion from most lists just to accommodate most of my desires but I've pre-ordered him and I don't want to feel like I'm wasting him.

Sad...

because 40k forces you to socialize and that's not what the japanese gunpla market wants? ya lost me.

Thanks mate, sucks to be t'au as well. Hope your codex drop will soothe your pain.

>>55372370
Yeah I don't think we get anything, but somehow I feel challenged to do a multi fw workaround. If the vanguard or ranger point drop is true, stick em with a melee graia warlord and shoot everyone in melee. I mean 9 pt. For basically -1T, three extra attack troops sounds nice. Especially if you add in plasmas for sweet 2+ to wound me without overcharging. Or TEQ with overcharge, plus rerolls of 1 thanks to TPD. That's one hell of a punch for standard troops

Chaos renegades. Lots of modeling opportunities for mutations.

GSC for the same reason.

>>55372459
I'm saying the Japs are largely autistic and the requirement of people to invest themselves in a social hobby is the largest barrier for 40k to overcome.

>>55372447
You collect slowly the pieces and try different combinations.
Termies + pox? Plague Rhino rush with vehicles? Light and medium infantry walk?
Primarch focused or """"horde""""?
This is a reward, and not an issue, of the dedication to a single army.

>>55372546
There are different aspects to Nurgle that you can incorporate to your dudes.

Personally I might run my Lord of Contagion as my warlord and focus on terminators since I love them most.

Anyway, which Warlord Trait do you guys think works best?

>All Plague Weapons (Reroll wounds of 1) now reroll all wounds for your warlord and friendly DG within 7"
>DR happens on a 4+ instead of 5+ (Except against Mortal Wounds).
>Heal a wound per player turn
>Deal 1 mortal wound to enemy units within 3" of your warlord on a 4+ every fight phase
>+1 toughness
>reduce incoming damage by 1, to a minimum of 1.

>>55372571
>Advising to play Renegades in 8th

This man is not your friend.

>>55371913
Yeah, I know that feel. Admech is pretty damn good at massacring power armour, I'll tell you that one for free, but it still gets a little samey. Admech vs. Tyranids is perhaps my favourite match, though. Flesh vs. Steel, and we're both different variants on close-range bloody brawling infantry backed with big boys. Only played 2 in 8e so far, but both of them came down to the wire. In one I managed to get a clutch set of 5+ Neutron hits to blow away the last Carnifex and mop up, in the other I got eaten by Genestealers and Surprise Trygon.

DE are more fragile by design and so are commonly considered "less forgiving" since you can't use natural durability to bail out bad positioning. However I think that's a bit overblown these days. There is no army too complex to make a good first army and the time and money investment of collecting and painting an army is big enough that I think it's better to choose the army you like the best from the get go rather than trying to go with a "beginner army" at first.

tl;dr DE are fucking cool and have sweet models, play them.

>>55372622
Renegades make for a good supplement force for CSM, since they bring snipers and mortars to the table.

>>55372546
Holy fuck what does mary sue even mean anymore

>>55372619

>Which is Morty's trait?

>>55372546
Death Guard are about as far from Mary Sues as a Space Marine can get. They're just kind of there, and you can write your own custom lore and personalities for them.
I still find them a little dull, but they could be a lot worse.
