What are your fondest Warhammer memories? Or memory singular if you don't have much to offer.

What was it, when was it, how was it?

>>55415443
Bloodletters are high damage but lot durability.
There are no two handed weapons anymore.
Khorne daemons are generally the same as space marines but less tough and better in melee.

Speaking of DG counters to hordes, how's the mowerdrone? Any good, or too expensive for its rather average WS?

How do you guys think the splits halves If the Imperium will develop?

>>55415526
It's a pretty expensive 9 attacks at mediocre weapon skill. It seems to be geared more towards mowing terminators than hordes.

>For as long as the Imperium had existed, Cadia was ever at the forefront of its deliberations. Over the last two hundred years–my lifetime– the High Lords had devoted an ever-increasing amount of time to that one world. Regiments had been thrown into the void to bolster it. Space Marine Chapters had been petitioned to reinforce its approaches. Armour-wrights and strategeos had been seconded to augment its walls and its fortresses. There were other battle zones of import– Armageddon, Badab– in which we were stretched, but in truth none of them mattered besides Cadia, for if that world fell then the balance of power we had cultivated for ten thousand years would be ended at a stroke.

Cadia is the most important battlezone. More important than even Armageddon Justify this.

>>55415703
Leadership is what keeps your guys in the fight. The more they lose, the higher a leadership you need to not have more guys run.
Toughness determines how good you are at shrugging off attacks, as does Sv, though at different points. They're countered by Strength and AP, respectively.
There is no direct correlation between S and D

>>55415489
>>55415505

bruh...

I'm the dude who was asking about how many blightlords get the flail in the last thread that started this clusterfuck. Its not about playing imperium, it's about not being a cunt.

If this was an intended interaction, why the fuck does it only show up on a single single weapon? On a weapon with six lines of special rules? In a codex that is largely disjoint from the super-faction that the rule it is interacting with is inherited from?

This is classic splatbook syndrome, and making accommodations for other players until Rules-As-Intended is clarified is just good sportsmanship when there are clear outliers.

I'm not suggesting that hordes should go unchanged, but they are a symptom of broader balance problems within the Rules-As-Intended, rather than a product of splatbook syndrome.

>>55415439
>obviously bullshit
That's just like your opinion man

>>55415703
1. LD helps mitigate morale casualties of all multiple model units.

2. Toughness does not give damage reduction. Toughness is used in the roll to see if an attack that hits successfully wounds. The higher the toughness, the less likely a wound happens.

3. S does not affect D. Strength only increases the likliehood that an attack that hits will successfully wound.

>>55415703

LD is what you use more morale checks after you lose some models. Everyone uses it, though vehicles and characters as single models don't tend to need it.

Toughness is compared to the Strength of the weapon to work out how likely it is to wound. Str 6 vs T 3 is 2+ for example. Saves come after that and are unaffected by strength (Though are affected by AP)

Strength and Damage have no interaction.

What's the big deal about flail getting 1d3 attacks from DttFE? Statistically it's just a single extra attacks, it's basically the same as those things that give DttFE on a 5+ or a +1 to hit, bot things that you can get from other sources.

>>55415791
this is why i stopped playing tau desu, i really like their aesthetics but holy fuck playing their gun lines is like the Napoleonic wars

So AdMech codex is a whole lot of disappointment and a coll Knight Strategem?

>>55416022
Your experience is incorrect.

Rolling one at a time is the same as rolling all at once. How do people not understand statistics?

I bet you morons think a +1 to hit increases your chances at dealing damage more than getting +1 to wound (absent any other special rules).

>>55415925

I think Morty is one of the best designed kits GW has released as of late. The mold lines are cleverly hid and the use of stiching on his cloak for load bearing is really impressive.

Time for the stupidest fucking question in this thread

Looking to start an Adeptus Mechanicus army, seeing how the Canticles of the Omnissiah rules work in particular how everyone in the detachment of a battle-forged army needs the the ability.

If I'm looking to take some Astra Militarum units to have some more vehicles and a few other bits and pieces, am I allowed to just dump those all into a separate spearhead detachment? That way I have two separate detachments, one for A. Mech and one for the allies.

That makes sense to me, but is there something I'm missing saying that's not allowed?

>>55416030
It's not a big deal. Today is Accuse Everyone Of WAAC Day.

You should try it. It's fun, you WAAC fag!

>>55416046
>coll

fug

>>55416047
What if you hit on a 2+

>>55416051
yes. Imperium can ally with Imperium willy nilly
You could have a hundred guardsmen being led by a space marine captain, or a hundred space marines being led by an IG commander if you wanted to.
Separate detachments are no issue.

>>55416051
Yes, your interpretation is correct. You could have 99% of your army be sisters of battle in brigades, and as long as one detachment is entirely ad mech, that one detachment will benefit from catnticles.

>>55415842
You can increase a knights ion shield to a 4+ and have a tech priest heal it 4 wounds a turn though. That's gotta count for something.

With the new traits you can now turn your admech army in to the most frustaiting to play against gunline there is!

>>55416046
>Admech players wanted Deepstrike Knights and Transports they were never going to get
>were given an unimaginative, but solid Codex
>massive amounts of salt, because they weren't as cool as Death Guard
>they will get over it in a week

Yeah. That's pretty much it.

>>55416069
If you hit on a 2+, then +1 to hit will actually have no effect (absent any other special rules), since a natural one always misses.

>>55416030
Not sure. Arco-flagellants with Priests do the same damned thing.

>>55416093

>That's gotta count for something.

Did you not notice my REEEEEEEEEEEEEEing?

>>55416102

I never said otherwise.

>>55415980
Who plays bloodletters? They get one shotted easily. So, I dont know

DG codex ducking when

>>55416069

You cant auto hit so +1 to hit is useless for 2+ to hit as you always fail any 1s you roll. It becomes a lot more valuable if the unit has an effect that triggers on a 6+ to hit, though those are rarer than 6+ to wound.

I hope the future BA Codex wil have some nice collector's edition like the DG Codex did. I want some fancy red and gold dice and limited edition Primarines.
Also, I hope we'll get a BA upgrade kit for Primaris Marines, like the Ultrasmurfs already have. A new model for Dante would also be nice, since his miniature is from the 90s.

>>55416047
It really depends on how much you wound and hit.

If you hit on a 3+ and wound on a 6+ a +1 to wound is extremely better, because it's a 100% increase instead of a 25%.

Basically a +1 becomes better when the unmodified roll required is higher.

>>55416083
Thanks heaps dude!

Yeah it made perfect sense in my head but I just thought I'd make sure

>>55415874
Not when they are all shitheaps

>>55415406
I'm not arguing that the flail is a bad weapon, but even if you equipped a flail and combi-bolter (50 ppm) on every model in the unit, it barely trades favorably with guardsmen/conscripts, even assuming the DTTFE interaction with the flail is intended.

Assuming everyone stays in rapid-fire range, and treating blightlords as though they get 2.33 attacks per model because I can't be bothered to figure out the real impact of having the sergeant being the last model to die in the squad...

Targeting guardsmen, blightlords would make back 9.5% of their points in each shooting phase and 67.2% of their points in each fight phase. This increases to 11.1% and 78.4% respectively if they are getting reroll 1s to-hit (e.g. from a chaos lord or daemon prince)

Targeting blightlord terminators, guards make back 46.3% of their points each shooting phase and 15.4% of their points each overwatch. If they get the FRFSRF order, they will make back 92.6% of their points in each shooting phase and 15.4% in overwatch, for a total of 108.0% of their points. This means any guardsman that FRFSRF's make their points back against blightlord terminators automatically.

Given that charges aren't guaranteed, and that we aren't accounting for the fact that guardsmen who survive the blightlord's fight phase make back another 15.4% of their points, I think the margin of superiority is pretty slim, if it exists at all.

>>55415441
Deepstriking imperial knights wouldnt actually be even broken. 10 deepstriking terminators are about as scary, even more so.

>>55415620
The only way to actually make Tyranids relevant would be to give them a personality beyond mindless horde that wants to eat everything. Unfortunately the current writers are too shit to do this with any kind of intelligence or nuance - see Primaris fluff or Nu-Cron fluff.

At they're moment they're just an NPC race that's used purely as a plot device and as a result they're one of the most boring factions from a fluff perspective. Think of the stakes in a Tyranid invasion, either they get beaten or eat everyone. Entirely binary and bland. I'd actually say one of the reasons I sold my 8k+ of nids beyond them having shit rules was how boring the narrative was in games.

>>55416172
Yes, this is correct, but the point I was making is that a +1 on wound is exactly as valuable as a +1 to hit, all other things being equal. A lot of people make the mistake of assuming bonuses to hit rolls are more valuable because there are more hit rolls, but this is just incorrect.

>>55416166
>I hope the future BA Codex wil have some nice collector's edition like the DG Codex did.
Don't like you're odds on this one, but you never know...
>Also, I hope we'll get a BA upgrade kit for Primaris Marines, like the Ultrasmurfs already have.
This is far more likely.

>>55415441
>Actually thinking anyone thought this was coming
I just wanted what every other army has, metal boxes and nice strategems to keep the game fresh. Kind of got the latter but I'm a bit miffed there isn't a strategy to give a Tech Priest Cawl's abilities like you can with the Chapter Master strategem to give a Captain Goolyman's reroll misses.

also, I may or may not have gotten my dad a bit interested in 40K.

I think it's pretty much a given they will. We know GW doesn't give rules for options that aren't on the model any more, so this paragraph from the pdf they put out about primaris marines for other chapters is a huge clue that BA, SW, DA & DW are getting an upgrade kit. If they were expected to only use generic upgrade kits, there wouldn't be the restriction that BA & SW intercessor sergeants can only take chainswords, not power swords.

Sorry 'bout that... it's well, my first time actually getting 40K models and I didn't know about Dual kits.

again, these Necrons aren't for me, they're for my lil bro.

So although Admech dex could have been a hell of a lot better, it does have some pretty sweet toys. Dragoons are good now, Electropriests are 340 for 20 but have suddenly become some of the better alpha strike melee in the game combined with the ability to chow down CP and spit out multiple dead units.

How would you line up a 2k Admech force now, peoples? We can run Enginseers for two Battalions. Would go Brigade, but we don't really want to split up our Dragoons rather than keep them together to smash a big Tazer Fist into something.
Something like Battalion 1 with a Dominus and then just three Enginseers for the other slots? Troops aren't really a problem, so there's just about 100pts of character tax per 3CP. Seem worthwhile?

There's just no way this is real. It just can't be. I want it to be, but I know it's not.

>>55416030
As it's written, I'd say you get D3 but your opponent will likely complain, and maybe rightly so because I really don't know what the intention was.

As for it not mattering much... in the optimal case, it's 4 more dead models (2 termies or bikes) per DTFE trigger. With 2 flails per squad and assuming there's a way to get prescience on them, it really would add up.

It's a lot like arguing blastmasters aren't better than lascannons, because even though they have 3 times the damage potential, their average is the same.

It all depends on point values. If destroyers are like 65 ppm and Skitarii are 9, plus god willing Infiltrators are cheaper, it'll be damn good.

Apparently the real world is the same as a vacuum in your views.

No, they are not the same. One WILL give the player the advantage. Throwing them out all at once is the most likely to result in balanced odds. Rolling them one at a time allows player to have more input on the roll, skewing results.

>>55416538
and it makes almost no sense right? I get that the sword is only 1 point but I still think I'd rather being swinging a fist at -1 to hit than give up all that -ap.

I don't see anywhere that they updated the rules to give an extra attack like with plague knives/axes/maces.

Khorne berzerkers are a pretty solid choice - the fact that they can pile in and consolidate twice helps a lot in terms of getting close to the comissars, and they make back 67.1% of their points against guardsmen every fight phase, while guardsmen make 47.2% back in the shooting phase (doubled with FRFSRF) and 15.7% in overwatch. You really need to get the comissar(s) out of the picture so you can inflict morale losses if you want a clear win, though.

I hear that Electropriests are fantastic now. But their models still look like shit. What do?

Also, is there any viable way at all to use Ruststalkers? Or are they irredeemably bad?

>>55416547
Chapter Tactics just care that the detachment of Marines is pure. You can have whatever you want in other detachments.

>>55416548
Oh duh, why didn't I think of bezerkers.

Combine the dragoons with the Stygies rules to make enemies shooting them subtract -2 from their to hit rolls, then use the close combat stratagem to supercharge their taser lances onto doing 3 attacks on a 4+ instead of a 6+.

>>55416648
oh shit, I must have missed that taser stratagem. Explain further.

>>55416584
Wat.

Quick questions/tg/ Am i suppose to calculate Standard wargear too?
For example a furioso dread with 2 fists is like 122 points. But a furioso dread with 2 talons is 253 points, talons are 65 each. Is this correct?

Does anyone have a description of Madox, the Thousand Sons Sorcerer from the Space Wolf novels? If i remember right he had a horned helmet and jewels all over his armor, but I can't remember anything else.

>>55416447
Lances are AP-1, Stygies lets them T1 Charge along with fucking everyone else with -2 To Hit and Conqueror Imperatives is 1CP to hit on 2+/ 4+ Taser for 5.5 hits each. They now can actually kill a few Primaris when they're done tanking them.

Was thinking of making another Fulgurite block and getting another two Dragoons and running 2x20 Electros and a 17-hit Dragoon scalpel. Pay 3CP to blink it all in there Turn 1 and in the meantime get a couple Onagers, Dakkastelans and the Dominus set up behind Skitarii and Arquebi for Troops. Might be able to fit it into 2k, although it would be nice to bring some Destroyers along too for BS3+ Phosphor barrages.

>>55416655
Conqueror Doctrina Imperative (1 CP): Use before a SKITARII unit attacks in the Fight Phase. That unit gets a +1 to hit for all rolls in that phase, which is boosted to a +2 if it has either a broad-spectrum data tether or an enhanced data tether.

Dragoons come stock with Broad Spectrum.

>>55416660
read the top part of the page/subpage

>>55416619
Stygies VIII may be able to effectively use ruststalkers by getting them a turn 1 charge through their stratagem. Although it's probably still better to do the same thing with electropriests, rumours/leaks suggest ruststalkers' rules haven't changed, and they may even have increased in price.

>craftworld eldar are about aspect warriors

Will Aspect Warriors be removed in the future?

>>55416619
Rusties are just bad, the only good place for them is against high invulnerable/T models with few wounds, which just ain't worth still for 20 points at least. They need some AP

Electropriests are good and their models are good, but yeah acolytes are what people use a lot.

>>55416678
>>craftworld eldar are about aspect warriors
no

>>55416669
oh, duh, I was thinking taser weapons got extra hits on WOUND rolls somehow, because I'm an idiot.

that plague sword is straight out of the daemon/plaguebearer gear - and I'm sort of baffled why it's included at all. Were it a -3 ap plague weapon like the new termies get - for 1 point, I'd take it every time and probably leave the fist at home in favor of the plague reroll.

>>55416698
Frankly I'd just ignore any plague swords on models and just treat them as ornamental S User close combat weapons.

So if conscripts can't move through flying units, could I stick a razorwing behind them and keep them from falling back from the incubi in the front.

For assured board control add a couple more sentinels, and add a couple of manticores or basilisks.
Adding artillery tbat doesnt require line of sight tht can reach anywhere on the board will take the focus off the units you want to push forward to crush the enemy lines.

Question /tg/

There was a 3 tier piece of terrain, one of those broken buildings GW makes
I deployed my Dakka Helbrute on it
Turn 4 or so, enemy box cars a charge and engages my warlord.
I go to move my helbrute down the building to try and help in assault
Opponent says I can't climb down the building because dreadnoughts can no longer climb buildings

Is this the case?

My Skitarii killing a Knight in Overwatch with Arc Rifles in 7th. It was on its last wound, but still, it was very cool.

>>55416783
I think so, yeah. I've been hiding my Havocs on second stories from Maulerfiends.

I've been out of the loop for the past 6 weeks (just after 8th edition came out).

How have the new codex's been received? Particularly the new Chaos Space Marine codex?

>>55416783
Yup. Unless there's a ramp or something to walk up and down, vehicles and bikes can't change levels in buildings like infantry can.

>>55416809
Yeah, they seem annoying as hell to guard too- tanks hit on 6's (or not at all if mobile), and they can facefuck any vehicle provided they get around scripts. Neat.

>>55416775
Shameless self bump

>>55416566
Yeah, I think in the Skitarius book, one does that, but I might be confusing that for another novel.

>>55416819
Pretty meh overall
Obliterators were buffed again after the Index originally turned them into complete trash
Plague marines are sucky but they get a new codex so maybe that will help
Otherwise CSM looks playable but won't be top tier for sure

>>55416838
No orders, no obsec, 6+ armor save. Fixed! If the problem persists, give an "overwhelming terror" rule that a 20 or more on morale causes them to flee, regardless of commissar

>>55416838
Honestly just buff them even more until every tourneyfag have to use them, and then completely destroy the spam after enough people have bought them. That way you could milk them for every last shekel.

>>55416775
Do you have rhinos? The new plague weapons are the only way for plague marines (and not characters) to deal with multi wound models in cc. Flail of corruption and bubotic axe - basically erase primaries if you can get to them.

Like most GW sets, 8th gets you invested in a force that isn't much use on it's own (either side really) and invites you to spend a whole lot more money on undiscounted, new kits.

That said, it's not hard to convert most of the dark imperium plague marines in to melee models if you have a deep enough bits box. The only release I'm probably going to buy in to is the blighthaulers... which should be amazing - and I haven't figured out a way to convert bloat drones in to them yet.

I find these comments hilarious, because I just know you would never have the balls to say something like this to somebody's face, since you'd immediately your neckbearded, unwashed face battered into a pulp.

>>55416819
CSM codex has some extremely powerful stuff. They have easily the strongest psychic disciplines at the moment for example. And Berserkers and Alpha Legion have strong rules. That said there's a limit to how exciting a codex with no new models is. Death Guard have a lot more new and different stuff. Although I don't necessarily think they're more powerful.

>>55415716
CSM-lots of options, customization, can create fun stories for my warband.
AdMech static gunlines and less options.
Space Marines, lots of clean lines and space, relaxing painting.
Thousand Sons, so stressful keeping a steady hand.

>>55416566
Fly through space while being functionally immortal, at the forefront of finding STCs, can bully lackeys around via cyberdong, might even find an DaoT ship with a cute machinespirit to stick your cyberdong into.

>>55416869
>>55416838
Release a new horde unit for an army with 0 overlap with Guard, like a Dark Eldar slave race or something

WAAC buy all these guardsmen before nerfs
make them unplayable
release new slave race in 5man packs for $25
WAAC buy dozens of boxes to win their games and make themselves erect

>>55416866

Oh well, that's good. I had expected GW to have released a game breaking book by now and ruined 8th edition before it had even begun.

Has much changed between the index's and the new codex's? I've downloaded the new space marine book and am reading through it now.

>>55416747
I still can't get over how bad those models are. They literally look like budget action figures from a tv show.

What's a good colour scheme for Valhallans?

Finally decided to get around to painting up my dudes. A good number need to be stripped, but fortunately they're pewter so I can just use acetone after I remove the bases.

As for the paint, I'm leaning towards:
>Coat = brown or dark tan
>Trousers, bedrolls, and other cloth = light green
>Helmet = non-shiny, grey metal
>Rifle stock = wood (if I can pull off doing wood grain on bits that small)
>Thin red line on the edge of the cuffs
Basically WWII Red Army
It's a classic look, but might be too mundane or overdone, so I'm open to other options.
Can anyone suggest another look that's less common but still looks good for those models?

>>55416914
I dont care about the hotshots, they are about as meaningless as before.

The large amounts of special weapons aka plasma and melta are what scares me.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

>>55416838
>If you were GW what would be your final solution to the conscript question? How do we fix hordehammer?

The fix to horde hammer is already in the game. Morale. GW just fucked it up by granting immunity to morale rather than just bonuses to morale. For example +1 leadership or re-roll morale would do a lot to prevent an elite army from being impacted by morale or minimizing the effect of minor losses on hordes while still letting them be smashed by large casualties.

Nerf Commissars and other fearless bubbles and you largely fix hordes.

>>55416838
scripts can't get benefits from orders, commissar only gives them reroll to morale, not ignore. there, fixed with out making them useless

If I'm using a chaos lord with my plasma chosen to give them rerolls would it be a waste of his ws to just give him two plasma pistols?

>>55416552
Dragoons are 67 pts, bitches!
Just test roll a three lancer unit with melee stratagem, best with reroll 1 melee:

Adds up to:
9 Attacks, 2+ to hit rerolling 1 with FUCKING 4+ taser.

those are statistically 18 S8 ap-1 2d hits.

While rolling with 2 dragoons, I kill a dreadnought easily on the charge in like 4 out of 5 cases.

Just insane how much power they have for 67 pts
