SOME OF YOUS GITS ARE AWRIGHT.

DON'T GO TO DA NORTH WEST QUADRANT OF AMARMAGEDDN' TOMORZ.

SO LONG, YA GROTS.

How tall is Ghazkhul anyhow?

Not in his bulky armour, Ghaskhul himself.

The Orks getting bigger for being in charge thing isn't super well defined really.

>>44256842
I think he's +50% bigger than a regular Warboss.

Ghazkhul is relavtiely new warboss, so he won't be the Titan sized ones from the Great Crusade, nor is he as powerful as The Beast.

The thing is, he's suppose to be a prophet of Gork and Mork and sees something bigger than just fightan'. Which is why he left Armageddon in a stalemate and has gone to do something.

People are worried he'll eclipse The Beast in power, and since The Beast nearly conquered the Galaxy, it's while the Black Templars are so keen to kill him.

However, I don't think a specific size has been mentioned, I'm going on my own stupid gut feeling on his size. He is bigger than regular warbosses, but as I said, once upon a time, Warbosses were Titan sized.

>>44256896
>upon a time, Warbosses were Titan sized.

I will continue calling bullshit on this even if you provide proof.

>>44256896
>Warbosses were Titan sized.
I'm an Ork player/fan boy but that sounds like complete bull. You got a source for that? Da Beast wasn't even close to that big.

>The Beast was perhaps the largest Ork Warboss ever encountered, which in Ork society denoted his power, prestige, and lethality. Said to be the size of a hab-block, The Beast made even Nobs appear as mere children in his presence and his tusks were the size of tree trunks

From "I Am Slaughter" which came out a few weeks ago.

>>44257116
>said to be
so orkish exaggeration

>>44257161
I suspect he'll be seen in combat by Imperial forces at some point, he was eventually killed.

Either way, he was fucking huge. Ghaz doesn't come close currently.

>>44257116

I know later 40k sources have issues with not understanding when something from an earlier source was blatant hyperbole,

But goddamn man.

>orks believe it so it's true

>>44257226
Well, The Beast is pretty special. I'd need to find the sources again, but I swear there is a source that says, during Battle of Ullanor, the Warboss and his Nob Bodyguard "rivalled the size of the immense Titans" or something daft.

I want to say it's in Visions of Heresy, but I don't have it on me.

Either way, Orks were big during the Great Crusade because they had constantly fought and nobody had rivalled them. Then came Imperium and they got killed.

The Beast was the most powerful one mentioned. He nearly conquered the Galaxy.

Dude was huge, I wonder how he'll 'die'.

>>44256804
Orkik Harris and Dylan KleWaaagh?

Seung-Hui Chork?

>>44257375
The Beast is another Ork, not the one from Ullanor.

>>44257375
Horus stabbed the shit out of him after he actually made the Emperor stumble.

No, he did not "choke him out."

>>44257659
It offered around a ~25% discount.

>>44257758
I'm sure the discount some things.

They definitely discount the idea of ever lowering prices.

>>44257798
Seriously? I thought it was exactly the same price.
I'm going off the American price, so if you're a britfag it's not inconceivable the prices are a little lower.

>>44257678
I want to run a swamp-fighter themed Tau army, have a lot of infantry and suits with maybe a riptide or two as the biggest guns in the army.
I don't want to repaint my current Tau though and I don't want to get more fire warriors.

>>44257862
All kroot all the time

>>44257845
Canadian but I just checked the GW American site and it offered a slightly worse discount but it still comes within a percentage point of a 25% discount. The Maniple and SM demi company box they released for the holidays are the only box sets I know of that they've released with discounts recently.

>>44257862
>Riptides
>In a swamp

That doesn't seem very fitting. If it's water and soft ground, you wouldn't want something heavy that would sink into it.

>>44257678
My Tau are Gundam themed. Not the most original, but I got all my suits painted up in the usual white, red, blue, yellow, and black. My Farsight/Melee Commander has a green beam sword.I did all my pathfinders as brownish green Zaku units.

Ultimately I'm shit at painting, and the white and yellows are a bitch to do well so there are plenty of mistakes visible. Also I fucked up the white primer on my Riptide so its a little textured.

In any event, it's a cool idea. Definitely bring lots of skimmers, since a suit doesn't make quite as much sense in muddy, vegetation-choked terrain.

>>44257927
Yeah, I just checked too. Here's the funny thing: it's still available on the UK site. 190 GBP. That's about $US 20 less than the US price.

Kroot master race. Seriously, until GW started using them as cannon fodder in codex fluff they were one of the more compelling races in the background.

>>44257959
*130 GBP, excuse me.

>>44257678
I've got an Eldar force with an Ocean theme. Lots of Jetbikes and Skimmers for traveling over water, and alterations to a few of the aspect warriors to make them more fitting (Banshees as Sirens, Reapers as Kraken) I even allied some Dark Eldar to get Reavers for Sharks and access to those sweet sailboats.

>>44257845

Nope, it would cost $285 to buy it all separately and the set cost $215. Real fucking shame too cause I was gonna get it after Christmas. I just don't understand, why go through the effort of making the set and then not even sell it for a month. Especially right before their core demo, 12 year old boys, will finally have money to burn.

>>44257928
Maybe but I wound't want to use tanks either.

>>44257993
So go for a small infantry force. Maybe bring some stealth suits and piranhas.

>>44257970
They're still pretty neat fluffwise but I'm not a fan much of the models or the statline.
I though about doing some conversions with skink models a la pic but I don't like infantry that dies space marines coughing.

>>44258040
Stealth suits, crisis suits, fire warriors, vespid, a Y'Vahra for rapid reinforcements and maybe a r'varna that looks like it's having a hard time walking.
And drones, god I love that formation.

>>44257959
Correct me if I'm wrong but GW stuff is normally cheaper in the UK compared to NA so the extra discount doesn't surprise me. It's weird that it's still selling there though, unless they have a different supply or manufacturer for NA.

>>44258109
Something I noticed, mostly unrelated, is that if you google Gameworkshop you often get defaulted to Canada. I think GW just hates us

Are you American? You should totally buy from Canada at the moment with the Canadian dollar being so devalued. For Skitari, a crawler is 79 CAD on the GW site and 66 USD. Exchange rate is like 1.35+ atm

>>44258223
How would you go about doing that? Shipping would be rather complicated, no?

>>44257371
Well... I mean... that's how Orkz work, right? It's a good thing they're not entirely aware of the fact that if enough of them believe something, it'll happen. Sort of like an unaware self-limitation.

>>44258250
Not sure how GW would handle it but there shouldn't be a tax on plastic models for crossing borders so to offset shipping costs you probably just need a large enough order to maximize the disparity in prices. You can also see if some third party sellers are shipping from Canada to the States.

>>44257758
I'm still convinced that DA have the better half of the Dark Vengeance box in comparison to the Chaos side.

Dark Angels get:
>2 HQs that I cannot name because I'm not a heretic who pretends to be a loyalist
>Terminators which are nice for DA from last I recall
>A decent sized of marines that's not too poorly kitted out
>3 bikes, and bikes are always good

Meanwhile... on the Chaos side:
>20 cultists, not necessarily the worse unit in the codex as they have some strategic value as a cheap troop
>1 Helbrute, that, assuming you're using just the regular CSM codex, is shite as it isn't going to get anywhere quickly with the inability to deepstrike like its loyalist equivalent, and if it does take a hullpoint there's a chance it'll go crazy and do something besides what you want it to do for a turn
>7 Chosen with a really "egh" loadout
>1 Chaos Lord, which I will admit is the best model in this entire box

In conclusion, the DA player who uses this box will get a good use out of all of the models in the box, while the Chaos player may only be after the cultists and the lord. I know there's probably someone out there who actually -wants- the Chosen and the Helbrute, but it's gotta be a minority with their current state.

>>44258274
harper+oil prices made our economy fucking tank

>>44258557
chaos gets shit because the helbrute models are dogshit.

>>44258557
It's a better value for chaos because they can add spikes to all the Dark Angels stuff and run it as Chaos stuff.

>>44258593
The Dark Vengeance one, yea. The Helbrutes you can buy separately, though, are rather nice looking. They don't got that stupid mono-pose thing going on, and also have actual dreadnaught feet instead of those strange toe things the DV Helbrute has.

What's a good ratio of anti-armor to run for SM?
Something like 3 meltas/lascannons to a Leman Russ?
running the numbers say that a land speeder with two multimeltas firing on side armor gives me two pens, which are crippling even if not killing.

problem is finishing off any crippled tanks. With http://pastebin.com/XNndXi4k I'm leaning towards a vindicator over the usual laser predator due to the points being just a little to much for lascannon sponsons.

Running the extra heavy bolters because I'm expecting lots and lots of carapace armor.

I really want to do a Kroot force, though I can't settle on a theme that feels right. Jungle/forest has been overdone, but i don't feel like any of my other ideas would fit their looks. Deserts, Tundras, Oceans...nothing feels like a place where they should be.

>>44260662

A lot of the formations they added to all the armies, as well as Escalation, are gimped Apocalypse things. Guess Apocalypse didn't sell too well? Because we definitely know formations and Escalation 40k sell well.

Same deal with Cities of Death and Planetstrike not selling well then getting added to 6E as fortifications and selling like hotcakes.

>>44260675

Kroot look totally like desert people, and Tau are a desert race with likely a lot of desert planets in their empire.

They're good for DS 3++ Ignore Cover heavy weapons but 40 of them seems expensive. You'll run in to the same problems that DW or DS GK have, and you can replicate all their benefits much better by simply using bikes/pods/psykers.

>>44260848

I think this is only for one of their special missions. They can't DS turn 1 normally. You will automatically lose if your army is pure LotD.

>>44261786
they also lost their permanent 4+ cover

>>44261722
1 page of how to use the rules, including how to use them in a Path to Glory campaign

1 page for each Daemon world, with a random table you roll on each turn to see what environmental effect applies. Generally, a warband that matches the Daemon world's patron deity is less badly affected by the environmental effects.

If that seems worth it for the...whatever it is that you pay, then get it, otherwise don't.

>>44261818
But they can get a 3+ now thanks to Jink and turbo-boosting.

Orks don't really care about snap-firing, especially when twin-linked.

>>44261831
With the special character granting skilled rider they just had that all the time.

Orks DO care about snap fire.
They might not be BS4 naturally, but losing 50% of their hits does hurt, twl is still just a second 16% hit chance.

>>44261865
So a single unit could get a 3+ cover save. Yaaaaaay.

As an Ork player who habitually takes armies that are nothing but bikes, I can safely say I don't really care whether I hit on 5s or 6s, if it means I have the same save as a Space Marine.

>>44261159
Go read crusade of fire, a 6th ed supplement that did just that for inspiration.

>>44260547
And he didn't appear titan sized in it.

>>44261981
"The image made Maskar blench. It was a pict feed, streamed through some exotic form of image capture system, that was being broadcast directly to them. It was a transmission for their benefit, for the benefit of any victims the orks came upon.
There was little sense of scale, but Maskar appeared to be looking into the eyes of the most immense ork warboss. The creature was so mature, so vast and bloated, its features were distorted. Broken tusks like tree trunks jutted from the cliff edge of its lower jaw. It was staring right out of the screen with tiny, gleaming yellow eyes, its jaw moving.
‘That bastard thing is aboard the moon,’ Heth said. ‘It’s their leader.
>I think he’s the size of a damn hab-block, Maskar.
Saints of Terra, there hasn’t been an ork boss that massive since Ullanor. I mean, they just don’t develop to that size any more. Look, look. In the foreground? Those are greenskin warriors. They look like children.’"

>>44261831
Dude the drop from BS2 to BS1 is pretty huge. A lot bigger than what people think.

You are going from a one in three chance of hitting from a one in six. Even with twin linking, that hurts.

>>44262018
>There was little sense of scale

Ehm.....

>>44262067
In universe guess beats out of universe head up arse.

>>44262077
It doesn't.

Because we have the scale of the Ork that fought that Emperor and Horus. It wasn't titan sized. Taking an exaggeration of an out of scale picture is silly.

>>44262115
Didn't say titan sized, it said hab-block sized.

Try to get it right, not much credibility otherwise.

>>44262127
I was referring to the fact it did not say he was titan sized and that it was an out of scale picture and an exaggeration. The whole argument in this thread was whether the Beast was titan sized. Now get your head out of your arse.

>>The Emperor fought an armoured giant twice his height and breadth. Its skull was a vast, iron-helmed boulder with elephantine tusks and chisel-like teeth that gleamed dully. Its eyes were coal-red slits of such vicious intelligence that it stole Horus’s breath.

>Horus had never seen its equal. No bestiary would include its description for fear of being ridiculed, no magos of the Mechanicum would accept such a specimen could exist.

>Six clanking, mechanised limbs bolted through its flesh bore grinding, crackling, sawing, snapping, flame-belching weapons of murder.

>The Emperor’s armour was burning, the golden wreath now ashes around his neck.

>>Chugging rotor cannons battered the Emperor’s armour even as claws of lightning tore portions of it away. It was taking every screed of the Emperor’s warrior skill and psychic might to keep the mech-warlord’s weaponry from killing him.

>‘Father!’ shouted Horus.

>>The greenskin turned and saw Horus. It saw the desperation in his face and laughed. A fist like a Reductor siege hammer smashed the Emperor’s sword aside and a fist of green flesh lifted him into the air. It crushed the life from him with its inhuman power.

>‘No!’ yelled Horus...

No here is some proper scene showing the size of the Ork Warboss that was chocking the Emperor. He ain't titan sized.

>>44262162
Then there is the Warboss at ullanor. The grat warboss that multiple legions failed to take down before Horus arriived. The great war that made him Warmaster.

>At the pinnacle of the tower, they found Urg in a grand chamber accompanied by forty of the biggest orks in his empire. Horus charged straight toward the warlord, slicing through muscled green bodies with his lightning claws. The Terminators with him similarly crashed into combat. Slowly, they hacked a path through the mob until Horus faced Urg himself. The enormous Overlord was simply no match for the Primarch's skill and unnatural power. Horus crippled his enemy, hefted Urg's broken body out onto the roof, and threw him screaming from the battlements to fall far below, amongst the horde of orks still assaulting the lower levels.

Are you guys saying that Horus lifted a titan sized Ork and threw him down a tower? How silly.

Oh, Thank you!

I want to fucking cry. I want to get into W40k modelling SERIOUSLY, but I'm broke as hell. I like them all, aestethically. The "Buy what you like!" rule does not apply with me, I'd literally buy them all. My internet si too bad to download codices, so I want to ask here hoping someone will answer.
After hours of thinking I came up with a list of my favourite armies, because of they look or how they're played in the videogames (my only 2 parameters to choose from, unfortunately).
>Tau
>Imperial Guard
>Adeptus Mechanicus
Which of them is the most versatile army on the table for someone who has never played? Also since I'm poor I can buy them slowly. Like, a couple models per months at best. Like, I know the AdMech doesn't have a lot of units. So if I spend my money there, will I be unsatisfied with the choices I will have?
And I already have some very basic SM stuff: tac squad, a rhino and a dreadnought.
Thank you

>>44258547
Aren't they implied to be a successor chapter to the Thousand Sons?

>>44262512
Imperial guard are probably a bad idea for someone low on cash as they can be pretty numerous to say the least.

I'm going to go for the admech. Firstly they're lovely models that deserve to have time taken over them. Secondly, and more relevantly for you, they have a range of stuff, with shooty and melee-y units, so they probably hit that versatility thing. They're a bit weird, the lack of transports makes them play kind of differently, but if you're learning the game from scratch that's fine as there's nothing you need to unlearn. Finally there is some...stigma, shall we say, with tau nowadays, whereas playing admech immediately earns you grogenard points. And the unit variety isn't that bad with the range of weapons you can put on stuff.

>>44262606
Thank you for the suggestion. So you say that I will not be crippled by the fact that there are not many models for the admech?

>>44262595
>>44258547
It's very clear they are Thousand Sons successors

>>44262512
Tau are the worst army to pick up. Formations and fan wanking has made them so dull in terms of units and fluff.

>>44262648
There are technically two admech factions, and they are designed to work together.

So no you should be fine.

The only downside is you will have to buy two codexes if you want to use all the models.

>>44257988
>tfw I picked it up from my FLGS for $185 and got the Elimination Maniple for $120.

My Skitmech might be the cheapest army I've ever purchased. Merry Christmas to me.

>>44262677
Fuck nice. How did you get that deal?

>>44262512

I know that feel, m8.
Because of that feel I don't have any advice for you, though. kek.

AdMech has those big robot guys who are pretty cool, but apparently they suck

>>44262662
Yeah I guessed as much. I went to my """local""" GW shop (it's the nearest, yet extremely far) a month ago and I exposed that thing to them,they sort of agreed while saying that I should just play what I like
>>44262665
Yeah I saw that as well. To begin you'd think is better to pick skitariis at first maybe?

>>44262690

To specify I only meant the big robot guys specifically. Can't remember the name for the life of me, no time to google since final exam in 5 minutes

>>44262690
>>44262693
Kastellans. And they are actually really good, just extremely expensive.

Are there any units in the tyranid codex that spawn more tyranids? I love the vibes of nids but I'm more into the endless swarm schtick like the fluff.

>>44262693
castellans.

>>44262691
I would say yes. Cult Mech have less units overall.

>>44262705
Yes.

There is one big Nid that is always pregnant and continuously spawns gaunts.

There was a nid SC character that implanted its victims with Tyranid eggs which caused them to explode into a shower of gore and those small bity tyranids.

>>44262711
Thanks bro you really saved me! /tg/ is the best board. Have a nice christmas and happy new year!

>>44262705
yes.

one spawns spore mines, another the basic small tyranids, i think there's one that spawns the smallest ripper types too.

>>44262705
Tervigons do this IIRC.

>>44262718
You too mate. Have fun painting.

>>44262705
Tervigons, although they're pretty nerfed from what I've heard

>>44262725
Thank you everyone~ Do you know the names of these other 2 spawners? I'm guessing it wouldn't be competitive at all but I'm not entirely bummed out about it.

>>44262762
Spore spawner is the biovore, ripper spawner i've no idea about,

>>44262856
Ok, thank you very much. I also read up on Synapse and Instinctive behaviour. I wish it was a bit more reasonable. How cool would it be to field an army of Tyranids that you can choose to forgoe most input? Like the Hivemind actually takes over your models and it works as a rudimentary "AI" of sorts like a proper ravenous brood.

>>44262879

You're not playing a videogame dumbass. You would have to manually do bookkeeping to keep track of the automated behaviours.

>>44262889
I know and don't get me wrong it's not for a main army but I think it would be pretty nifty as a one-off friendly gimmick game.

>>44262911
Running an entirely non synapse tyranid army is pretty much like that.

My friend and his brother did that once, one guy being marines and the other synapse free gaunts and the like.

We laughed our heads off because the tyranids did more damage to themselves than the marines did. It's weird how that not having a dude in charge makes them commit suicide and the like. The hive mind, in all its scary extragalactic might, looked at this and went "yeah, I'm proud of what I did here today."

>>44262762
>>44262856
Tervigons spawn gants

Sporocytes spawn Spore Mines

Biovores and Harpys fire spore mines and if they miss they place mines where they missed

I have one tau commander in my army is it worth turning him into a coldstar or keeping him as a normal commander till I get better in the game?

>>44263066
Definitely keep him as a normal commander. The coldstar is... crap honestly. Commanders are invaluable.

>>44263013
One'd an ebook for all devices, the other is ios only and has a proper user interfacr, links etc like an app.

>>44263066
I am using a Coldstar as a secondary HQ, with my other HQ being a proper Commander who joins a unit and is useful.

and I don't know why. He is useless and shit. I REALLY want to make him work, but I can't. He has been a pointless addition in all games, and I might as well have just told my opponent that I'll be playing with fewer points than him.

Running him with Shield Generator and Early Warning Override. He has at most caused 2 HP of damage on a flyer, and that's it. He has never been useful, and has lost me a game that would otherwise have been a draw, and caused a win to become a draw.

It is literally a 175 point handicap, on top of being a free kill point.

And don't bother putting Stimulant Injector on him. FnP is useless on a lone model with T4. He'll never get a chance to use it. Threat it as a one wound model with a 3+/4++.

But hey, you might want to take him anyway, just so your friends wont start accusing you of being a powergaming faggot when you bring triple Riptide teams, and wipe out a quarter of his army each turn when resolving your 9 S9 AP2 Pieplates.

>Fine by me
>We start deployment
>He turns around, and opens up a large bag behind him, and placed down a warhound titan, a Lord Commisar and 2 veteran squads.

I entertained him, but I probably shouldn't have. We rolled kill points, and I lost horribly because I had almost twice as many units as him, and I had no way of killing his titan. The only two units that could even dent it, was killed off turn 2.

Some people don't deserve games. Ever.

>>44263420
>Wearing a commisar hat and a trenchcoat with some IG markings on them
That should have been a hint. Cosplayers - not even once.

>>44257678

Giger-looking Tyranids. I don't think an explanation is necessary, nor do I understand why GW hasn't made it the default paint job (rather than shitty Leviathan or shitty Kraken or whatever).

>>44262994
Thank you. Shame about the ripper one, I'd have loved to do that. Spore mine spam with biovore and sporocysts seems fun. Tons of large blasts Can start with clusters of mines on the field as well, so I'd be playing Codex: Carpet Bombs

>>44262952
That sounds ridiculous but >>44263018 and using specific models to avoid the shittiest Instinctive behaviour rolls might be gud. Can also keep a spinning compass device handy and then roll for distance and even your movement phase is random.

>>44263454
Black on black is a bit dull. Even stuff like raven guard have other colours in their paint schemes.

I think the Xenomorph/Giger stuff is all about sleek. It's black but it's shiny. Highlights and a varnish finish would make it look awesome.

Plus if you're a god-tier painter, the like that can freehand crying eldar faces or the weave texture of linen on a fucking banner, then you could paint reflections on the smoother sections. Imagine a Swarmlord in a sword-swinging pose with the screaming face of some poor bastard civilian reflected on it's blade.

>>44263532
Yeah, but anon (or you) was talking about it being the default paint job. Plain black is difficult enough because you have to edge highlight, you can't wash/drybrush your way to decent models, and it's especially difficult to get black looking good both up close and a half-metre away on the table (a lot of dark eldar armies, for example, can look amazing up close but just like dark blobs when actually played). Freehand stuff is even harder. It makes sense for GW to make the default paint schemes stuff that beginners can get close to.

Optimal size for warbikers squads?
Are Nob bikers still the shit?
What are they used for? They have the same stats as boyz for melee so they suck at that for their cost, so what should they shoot at?

>>44263532
>Highlights and a varnish finish would make it look awesome.

The problem ther eis that you're mxing painted highlights with the reflections, whcih end up wherever the light puts them. It isn't for nothign that matte is the standard for these things.

Fair enough, I guess you both are right. It would be nice if it could be made to work but I agree, it does require some insane skill and even then the tabletop distance can muck it up. shame.

>>44263491
That's perfect.

>>44263532
>glossy black on miniatures

have you ever primed a miniature too much? it looks terrible and now you gotta work harder to paint the miniature. i do like the idea of that freehand stuff and if i was doing or at golden demon level i would steal this idea

There's no reason you can't do an army of them dude. Was just saying why imo GW didn't make it a default scheme.

No you're right but the black blob problem at tabletop distance would put a dampener on them. I'm of the opinion that top paintjobs shouldn't be fielded because they're more of an artpiece than a wargaming token. Not to say the game should be nothing but mediocre-painted garbage but that certain top 1% have no place being fielded.

>>44263684
yeah, i've done that a few times because i'm trying to get it everywhere and it looks like a few spots need another hit. you should strip them. i don't and i just put on a thinned layer of black paint, gives the paint something to stick on but it makes any light colors look dingy

Do they feel noticeably more powerful than Imperium weapons?

One of my main gripes with DOW 2 was how Eldar felt like a swarm army rather than an elite one.

Every time I saw Banshees barrelling towards me I went "hmm annoying" as opposed to "oh fuck, banshees!"

It's weird as I feel they got tyranids right, with carnifexes being suitably badass.

>>44263420
Who the fuck even does this? 40k attracts so many retards. I can barely bring myself to play anymore. Ive played 3 games in the past year+. After all 3 I was like 'never again'. Bad balance, questionable ruleset, WAAC playerbase. I dont see a bright future for the TT game.

>>44264498
It's always been about the models.

>>44264271

Which kit the plastic one or the resin finecast one?

Say, why hasn't Games Workshop or ITC clarified the rules for 7E Tau Empire yet? As in, two in particular:

1: Does "Everyone shoots as if they were one unit" mean that, if a buff-commander participates, everyone gets obscene rules? Also, does the buff-commander actually have to be in range?

2: Does the "Pirahnas can leave, re-arm and re-drone, and re-deploy next turn" formation in the Farsight Enclave supplement really mean that Pirahnas can spawn infinite drones and leave the turn they come on?

Also, what rules do you use for those two, /tg/?

>>44264271
Its what you get for playing tau.

>>44264498
You think that's bad, you should see the warmachine players.

At least 40k's awful rules set means you'll sometimes find people willing to play games with the shittier units for the sake of fluff. I've had WMH players refuse to play me because my list wasn't Tournament-standard enough, and a game isn't worth playing unless it's good practice for a tourney.

See >>44264431 this post >>44264396 had a two minute gap. I got Bluddflag down to near half health very quickly.

>Every time I saw Banshees barrelling towards me I went "hmm annoying" as opposed to "oh fuck, banshees!"
So I'm not the only one who finds the Eldar trying to drown people with waves of their women annoying? Also Bluddflag may not be dead. He was twitching during the cutscene. He might still be alive. Now I have to go back to beating him again because the game crashed on me during the end level cutscene.

Gentlemen! I say it's time to fight fire with fire!

The only way to defeat the Tyranids... Is to eat the Tyranids!

If the tau player tries these interpretations of these rules and forces them on unsuspecting players they get a one day ban from the store.

takes time away from making minis and it's not a big deal to them. i have no idea about the rules sorry, but if/when i play a tau player i'll be sure to ask then post later.

No they didnt. I was playing 40k 10, 20 years ago. The game has always had issues, but 7th edition is the worst yet in terms of balance. Ive always been able to field lore oriented lists and still have a chance at a decent game. Those days are over.

>>44264651

Daemons using modern equipment to supplement their hell magic is my fetish.

A purely platonic fetish, but a fetish nonetheless.

>>44264559
The Buff-mander's special suites affects "his unit," the Hunter Cadre shoots "as if they were a single unit" so I would say no, Buffmander only affects the unit he is joined to, especially since it specifies markerlight abilities and not anything else.

For the second one: yes you can spawn infinite drones but do you really have that many extra drones?

Except the rules are very clearly in favor of Tau. Being strong isn't wrong, just don't bring formations on pre-necron codeces.

>>44264688
>affects his unit

No one will argue with house-ruling Tau weaker, so why do people keep trying to pedal these 'interpretations' of clear, albeit bullshit rules.

>>44264688
Except that wrong. RAW he affects everybody combining fire.

It's horseshit but it's RAW.

It's only RAW if you take a trollishly rules lawyering approach to it, rather than just reading the rule.

It shares markers, you get +1 bs for 3 units concentrating. That's it.

Last weekend I was friendly with a new player I had never seen at the shop I frequent and we exchanged numbers. This morning he gets a text saying he has arranged a 3v3 for 5000 points a side if I can bring at least 1500 of any army which he knows I can.

I haven't played such a large game with so many people in years. Not really sure how this new guy organized it and I was going to go in the shop anyway so should just accept the match or see who I am facing and then pick a complimentary army.

>>44264982
>he gets a text
I got the text*

>>44264968
Except it doesn't say that.

I second what the other guy above said. House rule it if you want to folks, it really is OP as fuck.

But the wording is very clear. Very very clear, and the only reason people keep having "interpretations" is because they can't seem to wrap their heads around just how insanely broken it is.

So no. They share ALL bonuses. Even GW said they meant it exactly how they wrote it in that email and that they wouldn't be FAQing it.

But house rule it. Me and my friends did.

>>44265010
>Except it doesn't say that.

It does, you've just been trained by too much time spent on dakkadakka to do trollish rules lawyering unconciously.

Take a step back, get some fresh air and actually read it like a normal person.

>>44265107
>>44265150

His Dark Angels (1000pts), Ultramarines (2500), My 1500 of either Orks, Space Wolves, Dark Angels or Daemons. He did say the Ultramarine was fine with fielding as little as 1850 if I wanted to bring more. Apparently 1000 pts is all he has of Dark Angels.

I know 2/3 of the other players once he told me a pair of Necron playing brothers. They have ~3000 points of Necrons but 600 of that is Monoliths.... Still Necrons. The redeemer being that they choose to take the newer Tyranid player I have seen a few times who is said to be bringing 1250-1500 points.

Looks like I have to clear my whole schedule. They want to start in four hours which will give us 6 hours to play. If memory serves me right thats about how long this kind of game can last.

Commander TooCool has something to say:

>>44257425
I know.

>>44258188
Actually, no. It specifically says that the Ork was "struggling" to choke the life out of the Emperor. In short, the Emperor was in no danger, but it was a test to see what Horus would do. Horus could have let Emperor die (or hoped he would), while the Emperor wanted to see if Horus would save him and as he did, it tipped the balance of making him Warmaster over Sanguinius.

>Yet normal sized Horus manages to BTFO out of him completely during HH.

Hmmmmmmmmmm

>>44265391
No no, I said I thought it was Titan sized during Ullanor, I couldn't find the source though.

However, The Beast WAS Titan sized. Horus has been obliterated for 2,000 years by then.

>>44265391

Mind if I save that pepe.

So, had two games today. Riptide wing is pain in the ass. Cleansing Flame can be game changer.

I need to start playing more, it was fun even though both armies I faced were Tau.

>>44265476
W-what? It says he was a hab-block size and nobs, which aren't regular orks, were child sized next to him.

Since a nob is over 3m tall, he's going to be huge.
