>A rising sense of unease swept over Numitor as he realised his armour’s systems had shorted out entirely. The serial generators of his backpack were silent as the grave. The captain took a heavy step forward, then another, but it was real effort. Many of his squad did the same, stamping the roof involuntarily as if its gravity had increased threefold. Veletan stumbled, and fell with a heavy crash.

>The machine-spirits of the Ultramarines’ battleplate were utterly dormant. What had once been some of the finest personal wargear the Adeptus Mechanicus could devise was now little more than dead weight. Numitor’s axe fell from stiff fingers to clang hard onto the roof.

>The captain’s sense of rising disquiet increased as he saw strange, hooked hands curl over the lip of the tower. Avian heads, beaked and quilled, were just visible in the gloom. Gangly silhouettes hauled themselves up and over the edge of the roof – a dozen, then two. With a grinding effort, the captain unholstered his bolt pistol, aimed and pulled the trigger. It too did not respond, its belligerent little machine-spirit exorcised by the tau’s nullifying witchery.

Warhammer is shit

Warhammer, like most RPGs, is ultimately presenting a world that may have more or less elements of historical reference to our own world (Warhammer's setting has a few more than, say, Greyhawk), but that is viewed from a moral/philosophical lens totally rooted in our own 20th century viewpoints.

D&D's is one of a highly modernist, relativist, baby-boomer hippie type of view of some kind of cosmic balance around which the 9 alignments are all completely evenly matched.

Warhammer's is a more post-modernist, post-hippie and utterly cynical viewpoint that dominates our current paradigm. You could call it 'apocalyptic' but in fact for reasons I will bring up later that'd be totally wrong. It's just nihilistic. It is the view that is left to us when we are taught that nothing is actually true, nothing is actually worthy of being maintained, nothing can be held up and only naive idiots think anything is worth fighting for, except maybe for tearing down and destroying everything. In Warhammer you play the 'good guys' but you actually root for the bad guys. The lords of Chaos are the cool ones, as everyone knows, but more importantly they're the ones who are RIGHT. Law is a sucker's bet. It's doomed. And so all the space marines and heroes who fight for law are basically morons, and this is part of the (civilization-hating) joke.

It's not in any way a medieval view. Or early modern, or enlightenment, or victorian. It is a moral paradigm that can only possibly exist in this utterly spoiled generation of self-hating westerners.

>>46626673
>>Numitor thought back to Malagrea’s warning. Beware the long-hawk. The red warsuit facing them was stock still, rendered inert by the electromagnetic pulse. But these kroot, avian and stealthy, were not robotic facsimiles like those in the earth caste facility. These were the real thing – slender eaters of flesh, skin-takers and cannibals. They needed no war-tech to work their hunter’s arts.

>Ahead, the warsuit’s hatch was kicked open, and a slender tau warrior dropped out to land in a hunter’s crouch. He stood slowly, and bowed without taking his eyes from Numitor’s. The captain expected to see an alien expression of triumph on the flat slab of the warlord’s face, but instead saw something that looked more like sadness.

>‘Parley, I think you call it,’ said the xenos, his Low Gothic strangely lilting but accurate.

>‘Very well,’ replied Numitor. ‘As soon as you have your pets take their blades from our throats.’

>‘I think not,’ said the tau warlord. ‘Not yet. Honoured citizens of Pech, please stay your hands. But if even one of these gue’ron’sha moves, kill them all.’

>Sicarius spat a gobbet of acidic saliva towards the xenos leader. It landed a hand’s breath from his three-toed foot, hissing as it burnt into the scorched roof. The alien calmly took a step backwards, and made a complex gesture with his hands.

>Something whispered at the back of Numitor’s mind. The astropath, Malagrea. This time, it was an impression, more than words – a trillion malevolent eyes, all united by a single, galaxy-devouring hunger.

>For the first time in his life, Numitor felt true horror.

>‘You have inflicted much damage upon Dal’yth,’ said the alien warlord. ‘Scarred it deeply as you fought to conquer it for your Emperor. Though I should not say this, I respect you for the skill and strength you have shown here.’
>>
>>46626696

So what does this mean in actual play? Doesn't it make actual play more lame? After all if you are playing in a universe where Law is way more powerful you know that ultimately the Unconquered Sun will triumph and set things right so why fucking bother?

I think you have to look at it the opposite way: in Warhammer, nothing you do matters. In the end you know Slaneesh and Nurgle and company are going to end up devouring everything and any effort you make is for nothing. You will die sooner or you will die later but eventually everyone loses. It is naive and stupid to serve Law in that setting.

What are some good Imperial Knight proxies ? Leviathans look cool but they only come in Warhound or Dreadknight size, no Imperial Knights.

I know you will be able to get 2 GW Knights cheap soon but if I'm to field an army of just three models I want each of them to be unique.
>>
>>46626706

The medieval worldview is a world where things matter. It is a world where everything has meaning. It makes individuals living under that paradigm much more significant and conversely much less self-centered than in our post-modern paradigm that says nothing at all is meaningful except your most immediate feelings and impulses.

>Numitor frowned, but did not speak. The threat of imminent violence hung in the air, almost thick enough to taste. But with every piece of Imperial war-tech temporarily rendered dormant, and with the tau able to bring in reinforcements from outside the electromagnetic blast zone, a single hostile action could result in a massacre.

>‘You are faithless bastards all,’ said Sicarius, ‘and one day you will be put to death, in the name of the Emperor.’

>‘Faith is a powerful force indeed, it is true,’ said Farsight. ‘We have our own faith – not in one of our number raised to godhood, but in a mutual destiny that cannot be denied.’

>‘Think well before you talk of such things,’ said Numitor. ‘Though it may cost me my life, I feel sure I could snap you in two before I bled out.’

>‘You would attack an unarmed opponent?’ said the alien. ‘You would put the lives of your brothers in unnecessary danger? I thought you had honour, you Ultramarines. Or is that the Hammers of Dorn?’

>‘What would you know of honour,’ snarled Sicarius.

>‘I know that if it is broken, it cannot easily be repaired. We too have a warrior code.’

>‘Lies,’ said Sicarius.

>‘For instance,’ said the alien, ‘I would consider it dishonourable to give my cadres the order to hunt down and kill every one of your white-armoured medics, ensuring their ritual death flasks are ground beneath our boots. That would be a stain upon my soul I could not erase.’

>Numitor felt his gorge rise at the thought of the primarchs’ legacy scattered in the dust, but struggled to keep his expression neutral.

>‘It would be a great shame if matters came to that,’ continued the xenos warlord. ‘Enough lives have been lost, on both sides, for us to learn from this. But my advisors have recently told me your masters have ordered an evacuation, so perhaps such extreme measures are not needed after all.’
>>
>>46626696
Sounds more realistic to me. Why root for the "good" guys instead of the winning team? It seems more like a realist's struggle for self-preservation and power rather than a constructivist's desire to spread ideals and norms about being "good," "just," or "civil."
>>
>>46626696

I've never been under the impression everyone is doomed in 40k. Every villain faction codex makes grandiose statements about their inevitable victory, but that's codex bias.

The Imperium is probably doomed in the long term, but life in the galaxy will go on.

>The Ultramarines glanced at one another in disbelief. Numitor met Sicarius’ gaze. His fingers, stiff with the effort of moving the dormant power armour, picked out a message in Talassarian sea-cant.

>Home. In. Danger.

>‘I see,’ said Sicarius, speaking as much to Numitor as the alien. ‘So be it. And if we do withdraw this day, alien, you will simply let us leave? Every last army, craft and trooper?’

>‘Yes,’ said the xenos warlord. ‘You have my word on that, as a commander of the fire caste.’

>This time, Sicarius did not grunt in disbelief. ‘Stand down, squad,’ said the sergeant. ‘There is more truth to this foul alien’s claim than you realise.’

>A stunned silence pervaded across the roof. Nine pairs of eyes looked to Numitor, and he nodded, slowly and sombrely.

>‘It is true,’ he said. ‘Ultramar is in danger.’

>‘Citizens of Pech,’ said the warlord, ‘release these ones. They are under the shield of truce, and must return to defend their own planet.’

>Numitor felt the knife blade move from his throat, his augmented blood clotting within seconds as the stink of the kroot’s proximity faded away.

>‘Allies can be most useful, captain,’ said the tau commander as he turned to Numitor, ‘and sometimes found in the strangest places.’

>A massive drop ship bellied down out of the clouds, its ramp extending as it neared the hex-tower’s roof. A pairs of battlesuits descended gracefully from the portals on the side of the craft. Extending their manipulator gauntlets, they reached under the inert warsuit and bore it upwards with a loud thrum of repulsor jets.

>The alien warlord waited for the ship’s ramp to touch the edge of the tower and stepped onto it, making another complex gesture with his hands as he backed away.

>‘Our civilisations will cross paths again,’ said Sicarius. ‘That I promise you, alien. And on that day, there will be blood.’

>‘I am sure of it,’ said the xenos warlord sadly, turning and walking slowly into the craft as it drifted towards the stars.

-"Blaades of Damocles"

Sorry for the huge walls of green text. I just thought this is interesting..

Farsight thwarted the Ultramarine attempts to slay the Ethereals and defeated them. He allowed them to leave because he respected them and also because he wanted them to go home and take care of that greater threat.

The U;tramarines didn't even thank him but nonetheless the honour of the Greater Good shines bright. Farsight has done the Tau'va proud.

Would GW ever do a videogame version of 40k, like full on tabletop style and I know everyone says it would lose them money BUT how about this, every model you buy you get a code to use it on the game, so kind of like that shitty Disney game but actually good
It wouldn't stop people from playing the tabletop and it would give people a chance to play the game more by letting you play people online around the world

>that's codex bias.

It isn't. There is no codex bias. That claim is for people who want to ignore the fluff at their leisure. People who don't care about the facts. What's factual in the codexes is that while the great threats are presented as dangerous, they are so said to pale before the main badguy aka as Chaos.

>The Imperium is probably doomed in the long term, but life in the galaxy will go on.

That's statement goes against the lore that keeps getting repeated that in the Imperium and its Emperor fall, then reality itself will be destroyed and consumed by Chaos. The galaxy won't go on.

They are said to pale before Chaos in the Chaos codex. In the Tyranids codex Chaos is said to pale before Tyranids, in the Necron codex chaos is said to pale before Necrons, and in the Eldar books it's said that if Chaos is not defeated it will engulf the galaxy only to be defeated by the tyranids who will eat everything and go away leaving the galaxy to the necrons.

False.

The Tyranid and Necron codexes does not say this. Don't fucking lie to me and the anons on this board!

Only the Chaos codexes and the MAIN RULEBOOK states that Chaos are the greatest threat to the Imperium and the galaxy.

>and in the Eldar books it's said that if Chaos is not defeated it will engulf the galaxy only to be defeated by the tyranids who will eat everything and go away leaving the galaxy to the necrons.

That was a prophecy in the Valedor novel . A prophecy that was averted by stopping the Tyranids on the planet Valedor.

The prophecy goes that Chaos will engulf the galaxy for a time and then disappear leaving it for the Tyranids and Necrons. Eldar prophecies are wonky and furthermore it does not support your point at all.

I've been reading fluff for over 15 years, actually.

You can't take -any- of the grandiose "this faction will totes win" statements at face value. -Especially- the Chaos one, given that the entire Chaos Marine faction added up together is a tiny player on the galactic stage.

I am aware of the "if the Emperor dies every human will magically turn into a mini eye of terror" statement that floats around a few places, but it really isn't anything approaching credible. Especially with several -contradictory- what will happen if the Emperor dies theories.

>. -Especially- the Chaos one, given that the entire Chaos Marine faction added up together is a tiny player on the galactic stage.

This is evidence that you have not read the fluff at all. You think Chaos is just the CSM? I mean come on. The whole section about the crumbling walls of reality and the constant daemonic incursions in the Age of Ending went entirely ignored by you. You are the one who don't have credibility here.

>I am aware of the "if the Emperor dies every human will magically turn into a mini eye of terror" statement that floats around a few places, but it really isn't anything approaching credible

Why? Because your opinion on it? Your opinion counts as lore now? Disgusting,

You can say so, but the fact is that going by the codex Chaos is the shittest faction. It doesn't have decent formations, it doesn't have decent units, and the new update nerfed them.

In a setting where the Warp is the ultimate source of power, technology takes a backseat (unless you the Necrons).

The fluff outright states that Chaos is the greatest threat to the galaxy. In fact, some Grey Knights concede that Chaos's victory is inevitable.

Yet Chaos lose every fight they go on. Daemon primarchs get their ass kicked every time they go into realspace, so much they have now stopped going out of the warp. They are lead by an armless failure that it's on his 13th tentative of reaching Terra,

Do you know that /tg/ screenshot about a lone marine destroying a craftworld with a broken blade and the eldar going about "yes! his blade is broken, the prophecy is fulfilled!"?

Chaos is like that, only that after they lose thousand of marines eaten by their own rhinos or they kill each others because Chaos then they go on about how their victory is inevitable.

Your post is troll-bait and full of bullshit. I am going to post some actual fluff and wait for you to get serious.

>Each Black Crusade has been part of Abaddon’s carefully laid plan; each furthering his goals in some significant way. The culmination of Abaddon’s grand scheme is nothing less than the death of the Emperor and Humanity’s enslavement at the hands of the entities of the Warp. Across ten millennia of strife, Abaddon has crafted his dark strategies; each attack, each world destroyed and each army vanquished is but a part of a much larger war. Always at his side is the Black Legion, on burning worlds and in shattered cities, their howling chainswords and barking bolter fire heralding the coming End Times.

>Thus is the shadow of Humanity’s downfall cast by Horus’ lost sons. It is the gravest threat the Imperium faces and the very tolling of doom that echoes out from the Eye of Terror. Where the black-armoured warriors of the Legion tread, cities burn and Imperial worlds fall. Star systems are purged and vanish from the void, their citizens slaughtered and their histories wiped away. To swear eternal loyalty to Abaddon and become a traitor Space Marine in the Black Legion is to become a warrior of the End Times and stand triumphant over countless worlds turned to ash and blood.

Except old lore and new lore says that Black Crusades were victories or have achieved their objective. Also that all of them are building towards something big.

Actually, the Black Legion supp says that the Chaos forces gained lots of amounts of plunder, riches, and battlefield glory before they retreated back to the Eye.

It also states in the supp and other sources that the power and size of the Black Legion increases after each assault on the Imperium. This indicates that they are gaining military assets and reources more than they are losing them.

So reality once again thwarts the anon.

Also a little FYI, the 1st Black Crusade wasn't about just the sword.

Captain Numitor stared long and hard through a mildewed viewport at the hexagonal structures covering the surface of Dal’yth Prime.

Gel’bryn City was just one of the war zones the Imperium had torn down in flame before the Tau Empire had mustered its armada in earnest.

"Death of Integrity"? No, it's about Admech and marines exploring a space hulk.

If you mean "Blade of Damocles". then it's set during the First Damocles Crusade. The events in it happen before the stuff in the "Damocles Anthology".

I recommend that after fighting up the FE lore that you read :

This novel first
http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/farsight-hardbook.html

And then

http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/blades-of-damocles-ebook.html

Anyone knows if there is anyway to stop marines from beating chaos. I tried everything, armies with cultists, with plague marines, with csm and my friends always have some sort of new army with the same models.
I have this right now
1x Demon Prince

6x obliterators
1x fiend magnetized
4xrhinos

2 knights + sanctum imperialis for 120£

Even throwing away the Sanctum, is 60£ per knight not even considering the discount you can get anywhere.

Also, there will be rules for Renegade Knights, so even Chaos players will have it.

We had been hearing rumours of an update for years now.

They were all false.

So I guess you're not a Primarch then?
>>
>>46627847

Sadly the one person who seems to have a genuine insider position (Sad Panda over on Dakkadakka) has completely ruled out a CSM update for all of 2016, with it being a possibility in 2017. Main focus for 2016 is Age of Sigmar, and the only stuff Chaos can expect is that stuff from the AoS Tzeentch board-game coming out soon.
>>
>>46627853
That might have been really useful if I didn't already own eight of them. Thank fuck those are just two standard knight kits and not something unique, that way I can safely ignore the box.
>>
>>46627769
Is there a clearer image of the renegade knight? I can't tell if it has a different weapon
>>
>>46627886
To be fair he said no Codex, but leaved the supplement door open.

But a supplement will not solve CSM problems, just prolonging the already unholy life of a dated codex.

And considering they seems only interested on Khorne and undivided, cult armies like >>46627746 will get the short stick anyway.
>>
>>46627853
Oh wow.
I was just about to say that's no savings at all, then I checked GW and put my idea of a looted knight on indefinite hold.

That's near mek gun levels of dollar/point ratio.
>>
>>46627886
The store owner in my city told me, they would come soon. I wouldn't have bought them, if I knew.

Are there any rules to play csm models as something else or at least give them good weapons like grawitons ?
>>
>>46627908
Just ebul decals.
Literally, because including a sprue of plastic spikes would ruin GW
>>
>>46627908
Because it's a Warden and a Standard Knight in the box.

I forgot to specify.
>>
>>46627911

Well the supplements came out anyway, and much like the Ork one, they pretty much confirmed what we knew already: supplements can't fix what's broken.

>>46627917

You can play them using Codex: Space Marines if you really want and fluff them as recent rebels.

Alternatively, use them in 30K. Plenty of solid options for Chaos there.
>>
>>46627746
Now, I understand beating SM with CSM is difficult, very difficult. but if you want to really try you should pack more puch.
Why no heldrake?
why no noisemarines with either doomsiren OR blastmaster?
Why no chaoslord with juggernaught and that reic axe
maybe even pred or vindi
Other than that the supplements Stronghold assault and forgeworld ia13 offer a varietyy of dirty tricks
Bastion with escape hatch 18' ito enemy teritory
Rapier guns are the best fire support
Fw units(Siccaran; FireRaptor.)

There are no juggernaughts that aren't demons either. I normaly use one of the bikers as a Mage or lord.
Can't use FW at the store I play in, and even if O coul;d. I don't have a way to order stuff from FW

>>46628047
I think you misunderstand. Just use your Chaos minis with the rules in Codex: Adeptes Astartes. You will also probably want the new Angels of Death supplement.
>>
>>46628023
And what would that do?

You can give them a decurion that made all their bolters/shootas strength D for all that matters, that would just force them to play only with that style, and they will still sucks on low points game and/or only CAD games.

This is a game about customization of your dudes, detachments and formations are an incentive to play fluffy, have a guideline and make you bring some units you wouldn't normally play.
Those shouldn't be the only way to play.

Sounds like you should stick to pokemons and mtg kid.
>>
>>46628056
I don't think I will be able to do that. He will kick me out of the store, and then I won't have a place to play. I will try to get the chaos iron hands codex and play with those. Drop pods and bikers with a couple of marks will work great. Do jink saves and invs from mark of tzeench stack?

GW makes Knights for CSM, maybe some shitty supplement in Fenris part 2, and GW will think is all fine for CSM for years to come.

You mean don't? If so, well if they want to rolfstomp you be not allowing you your best units.........


You can ask the store to order stuff from gw. Or order stuff online.

No FW is sad, you would need only the book and convert yourself some things out of it.
Like Rapiers, either with a hades AC or a Conversion Beamer Variant for OOomph.
You will have to convert your lord on a juggernaught or hunt ebay as only a really old model exists for that.

The good thing about noise marines is that you can buy a cheap 5 marine squad thats fearless and has a blastmaster, a 48' S8 AP3 small blast gun with ignore cover. The other option, that only only the asp. champion can get is a S5 AP3 flamer thingie. Both are expensive, but I think you will see their worth. You need a Noisemarine upgrade kit, that is sold on the GW website (webstore only so you need to either buy online or ask the store to order it for you, which some don't do, because it is a hassle for them. GW's policy at its finest, makes it hard to buy their stuff.)

Have you considered the burning brand artefact a S4 AP3 torrent flamer?


If you cannot get conversions, IA13 or FW you are in a really bad position. You *might* check out the helbrute dataslate formations, then. Without that, the codex and supplements (as far as they are leaked...) are the low end of the food chain.

It had everything my friends wanted. So I don't think it has bad supply. They even bought more stuff then 1500pts to have more ways to play.
I just thought that there were extra books adding more stuff to chaos, like marine have. One of my friends had to buy 5 different books to run a single army. I do not envy that, even if his army does work.
>>
>>46628098
>If yes then I think I will run the csm as eldar maybe

There is a point at which people will tell you to stop taking the piss. Running Chaos Marines as Loyalist Marines should be fine for most people, since they're armed and equipped similarly. A bolter is a bolter, a melta is a melta, a jump pack is a jump pack no matter how many spikes you stick over it. An opponent can look at a unit and get a reasonable idea of what it is and what it can do.

Running CSM as Eldar is a step too far. They don't share any weapons, their basic stats are very different. Eldar field Skimmers, Chaos Marines don't. And so on. It's going to be confusing and annoying to play against.
>>
>>46628181
There has been the book Warzone:Fenris, right? The story didn't end there, so we know that there will be a second book later, most likely this October when the book series about the campaign will end, and there are rumors that there will be Chaos formations, maybe even their decurion, inside it
>>
>Have you considered the burning brand artefact a S4 AP3 torrent flamer?
I did it once. Put one on every champion and every my mage. it worked well vs drop pods, after that everyone started runing either drop pods or psychic powers that make it illegal to target units with template weapons. Am not taking them anymore.

>>46628267
>The ap3 dlamers are worse then grawitons

They really aren't. A Graviton Gun is only going to kill 3 models at most, it's virtually useless against light infantry, dubious against vehicles, and even heavy infantry can reduce its effectiveness by staying in cover. The Burning Brand can easily eat half a squad of heavy infantry from 12" away every turn and there's nothing they can do about it.
>>
>>46628098
>is that legal
fuck no anon, don't tell the cops
>>
I put the burning brand on a pyromancy sorcerer, and stick him with 5 CSM (1 with a flamer) in a rhino. It's not amazing, but it's not terrible either, puts out three templates a turn (one at AP3 and another at AP4). May be worth pointing out I don't tend to go in for expensive HQs, I usually write the rest of the list then work out how to shoehorn a compulsory HQ in.
>>
>>46628291
to go along with Tomb Kings getting squatted
>>
>>46628291
The options, if they don't just go as "generic" CSM, are either TS or AL.
And yes, there was a rune from Prospero meaning "Vengeance" in the first book

There is also a rumor about Russ returning "but not as you would like", but it was really so unsupported that I personally wouldn't consider it much
>>
>>46628290

Mate, just play Chaos

So long as you're not playing against WAAC losers you'll have fun. I haven't played a "strong" army since 4th edition and I still have fun playing 40k. You just need to play against guys who aren't focusing on winning above all else and want to play fun, fluffy lists. Find those guys through trial and error with random games and then try to organise regular games.

>>46628311
Maybe if they stick near a pod, but grawitons have a huge range and ,unless I was cheated , a at least some of them shot more offten then 3 times per turn. Plus they can still shot at units protected by psychic powers, because they don't use templates. I can't do it with the brand flamers.
>>46628354
Yes I do play chaos, but it is impossible to win vs my friends. they play different armies with the same models and codex, when they play vs each other they seem to have a ton of fun. When I play vs them either my army is deleted in the first two turns of the game, or I lose on objectives because space marines seem to have a lot of way to move around the table. I understand that chaos is an old book, but I didn't knew it would be that bad. I thought that the gap would be much smaller. Something like marines have 4-5 ways to play chaos having two or three.

>>46627079

Drop the footslogging Purifiers. Or get a transport. And change their psycannons to incinerators.

>>46628235
Imperial Armor 13; that forgeworld book I talked about. Another option I did not think about would be the new Renegade knight thingy, rumors are CSM can take that. (Just add spikes made from the sprue and skulls, lots of skulls)
Of course if your 'friends' just want to stomp you, I suggest a talk with said friends. No flyers, they probably will say, no knight either, but use invisibilty (which you an try to get, too its in Telepathy) droppod spam and other fuck-you thingies, Sounds like you have a social problem, honestly. I am sorry to say that, but your choice of units is not your biggest problem. If there are more, ask them if you could do 2vs2 team matches to even things out a bit, etc.

You'd be surprised that there are more WAAC losers dominating stores these days at large.

The stores that are full of chill people looking for a laugh and story? Those are actually the minority these days. The chill groups otherwise get chased out by WAAC losers and play their games in their own homes or hangouts.

Going back to read it again, it was actually "you aren't going to like the result", which makes it even more vague What if the person he's talking to is a DA player and he's telling him that half his legion is going to be destroyed by Russ, for example?

You can find the rumor on natfka I would have put the link, but 4chan keeps blocking it thinking it's spam if you actually want to look at it, but it's really so vague that it isn't even worth it. If you want to have faith in it anyway, then more power to you

The actual GW stores in my area are WAAC Quarantine Zones.

You can't expect to play in one without going against the strongest variant of whatever faction is being played.

The LGS is the exact opposite and polices itself and prefers fluffy battles and limitations on stronger armies.

For the most part everyone is on the same page and the few veteran players that used to play tournaments will play among themselves in a little group after coordinating a fair way to play WAACily.

I do not miss playing in that shitty GW.

Currently shopping for a Condo because I don't want to be permanently stuck in this god forsaken state and most that I have checked out are at least two bedrooms but some are three. I already told my Fiancee that if there is a 3rd bedroom it is mine and mine alone since the 2nd bedroom will be a home gym.

I can't wait to close on one so I can get to work. I day dream about it like others day dream about winning the lottery.

Currently I have only been able to get two people into 40k and one of them barely has their toes in the water but I know if I had my own game room and could display all my armies I could drag more and more people into the warp.

HAHA. No one rents. The only flats that are for rents are those ment for brothels, or those that are given as bribes to people. Not to mention that renting is crazy stupid. The cost of renting even a single room in any larger city is the same or close to paying morgage. who is going to pay rent for 20years, when after 20 years you could pay just as much and have a flat.

A 4x6 table is pretty small. You must have to be in a third world country or a ghetto to not have room for such, in which case you arguably have bigger things to worry about than a luxury hobby like 40k.

Amen. Not to be a dick but I make 300% more than my fiancee and even she agreed that is was rational. I have seen too many older people get ruined in a divorce and I really like my retirement fund.

However we are doing great so i shouldn't think of the negative's positives. She even plays 40k, even if it is few and far between she enjoys the modeling aspect.

Sup /tg/
I've not played 40K in ages but I've recently been hitting up my local GW, got a fresh codex and rules and have just wrote up my first list(s)
1000 points Ork list

HQ
Big Mek 'Urtymug' + Megaarmor +bpole 80
Weirdboy 'Squigmoon' 45
2 mek + Kustblast 40

Troops
11 Boys + RTrukk + nob+ Bpole + Bshoota 121
11 Boys + RTrukk + nob+ Bpole + Bshoota 121
11 Boys + RTrukk + nob+ Bpole + Bshoota 121

Elites
9 Meganobz + Bwagon 470

Total 998
Rtrukk means Red Trukk. The plan is to have the weird boy and the meks in the three trukks, transport capactiy 12, and the Big Mek with the Bwagon, transport capacity 20, 10 bulky.

Aditionally, to make it up to 1500 points I added

Fast Attack
6 Warbikes + Nob + Bpole + Pklaw 148
6 Warbikes + Nob + Bpole + Pklaw 148
Dakkajet 110

Heavy Support
Jeff Dread + Pklaw 90
and made the Battle Wagon red + 5
Total 1499

I went with a theme of convoy and I fully expect to get destroyed when I try to field it in a couple of weeks.
What do you guys think?
Also are my character names bad? I spent ages trying to think of something good.

Hold them down to what. You can't leave the city your signed up anyway. Unless you get enlisted or something. Unless your one of those rich people who can pay a bribe and get to permit to live anywhere they want, but then you can as well move to germany or belgium. Money stays almost the same, maybe people will steal a bit more from you when your not on the spot, but it is still less then what you save up on bribes and fees.
>>
>>46628692
it is not that simple. If things in your own flat break (boiler etc) or the house needs fixing, the owners usually have to pay for it. If you rent many things are not your responsibility. That does change from country to country.

>>46628731
Mek guns are literally the best thing in the ork codex. No ork list is complete without them

id also swap the bosspole for a claw on the nobs, 11 boys dont pack that much of a punch and you cant use the bosspole in an ork unit with less than 10 boys(I think, might want to check)

Im unsure as to why youre using the big mek and not a warboss if youre just going to treat him like a warboss. If you want the mek im partial to giving him a shokk attack gun and sticking him in the T7 multiwound mek gun unit but he doesnt need mega armour there

If youre not putting guns on a battlewagon its just an overpriced trukk and if you do put guns on a battlewagon then its not a good transport if you actually want to shoot those guns

I get that you want a lot of meganobs since theyre good as far as orks go but you dont need that many of them, youre not sending them into a tarpit, hopefully. Take 5 of them in a trukk with a mega armour boss(You can get wargear to boost their WS on the boss, id do so) and theyll mulch anything and theres not too many ap2 melee weapons floating around, doubly so for ones that would instant death your nobs. If youre still concerned about them you could also squeeze a painboy in there. If youre dead set on having a ton of meganobs then you really should have a painboy with them

In 40k the the trembling bulwark of a civilization on the brink of collapse has held back the nightmares from beyond, the gods you call 'right', for a full 10,000 years. that's 10,000 years of relative peace wherein trillions upon trillions of people have been able to live out their lives and raise the children to come after them. I wouldn't call that pointless.

I mean the imperium isn't any sort of utopia, by I would take it over any of the other options.

Well most of the "I don't get why" is because of its theme, also speed freaks.
Bosspole is actually to prevent you from being fucked over because you have under 10 boys in your unit
Its Mek because its a Trukk Convoy. He's in a BattleWagon because I only actually have three Trukks and they're all in use. Plus it fits the theme that the boss of the Convoy would be in the biggest Vehicle.
And I'm taking so many Meganobz because I can.

Imo:
Character LoWs are fine at all points
At 2000+ fair game
At 1500-1999, just shoot them a friendly heads up.

Mostly because they really show the Rock-Paper-Scissors aspect of 40k.

How should I equip the models? Also, wouldn' two started boxes kind of have a problem in that you can't actually take the Magos with the Skitarii outside the formation (or the war convocation, which would require getting one of every Skitarii unit and a Knight)? So while you could squadron the two walkers the second Skitarius unit would be wasted (or the Magos would be, but I'd intent to use him if at all possible since the mini is amazing).

Get a single unit of kataphrons and call it an allied detachment, or sell off the Magos. Either way, you want 10+ Vanguard and 2 Onagers.

It's both a case on convenience and principle.

Convenience: Because having to write up a whole diagram and give your opponent a quick primer because those rubrics are legion of the damned, the oblits are grav centurions, the terminators with a reaper autocannon and chainfist has a cyclone missile launcher but the one with a power axe and combi-bolter has dual lightning claws etc and having to carefully remind them (and sometimes yourself!) about all of this every 5 minutes and having them second-guess everything they attack or shoot or plan for about what that unit REALLY counts-as is unreasonable in the extreme and grinds a game to a halt.

It is very relevant BECAUSE i'm choosing to not do it.

>Why not do it?
>No, because of principle
That's it. Saying anything else doesn't even have anything to do with the question. It's a case closed deal.

>Keep everything WYSIWYG whenever possible
Not everything's possible and there's a lot of shit that doesn't have a loyalist version. What are forgefiends? What are hades autocannons? What are Oblits going to wield as Centurions? Do you have to break apart your termies because their loadouts were chaos-specific but now they're meant to be loyalist versions? Is the Sorc's spell familiar a psychic hood or something else again?

Having to keep track of one or two counts-as is fine, but having to keep track of an entire ARMY of counts-as while also keeping in mind everything else is a massive chore.

Heldrakes aren't 'that' good anymore. The Vector Strike nerf coupled with the turret ruling drastically limits their offensive output and makes it a lot easier to avoid them.
>>46629758
Post the rest of the list. If you've got lots of ground armor, Soul Grinder probably.

>>46629818
you can use a second combined arms detatchment for daemons and get 3 soul grinders.

the warp storm table is only if the daemon force is your primary army. if it is still your csm force. all is good.

Lore question for blueberry experts

If a size able military force of tau was stranded on a planet for a few generations with no ethereals around and with limited manufacturing ability, what would they be like? Does tau equipment hold up like imperial equipment? Can ammunition for pulse weapons be easily produced?

>>
>>46629813
Cool, you choose not to. Not sure how it's relevant to anyone else. I never told you to do it, nor did I say you had to.

I already said Forgefiends don't really have a good equivalent although I've run mine as a Deredeos before

My Oblits use the same weapon that I counts-as for Grav on my infantry. As long as you're consistent throughout the list, this isn't an issue with non-retards.

Spell familiar is just ignored. You could call it the psychic hood if you want, but it's not like there's ever any confusion about psychic hoods.

Yes, if you want to run your termies, you should probably try to run them in a loyalist legal setup. Havoc Launchers make great stand-ins for CML.

The vast majority of any set of CSM has direct analogues in Codex:Space Marines.
>>
>>46629818
Just take the formation from WZ:F. 3 Grinders with a buff.

Running the Incursion also make the table a lot friendlier. Incursion+Fateweaver pretty means it's always a boon.

If you were chaos aligned and got to choose any CSM legion to support your heresies, which one would you pick?
>>
>>46630051
Alright so what weapon do you use? Assuming you're using the GW oblit minis which have like 3 random weapons sticking out of a blob of flesh. Mine are kitbashed, so I got one with an autocannon for an arm, another with a chainsword and a double-barreled wrist-mounted shotgun, one with two missile launchers and another with two heavy bolters. I'll just go make some others so I don't have to get my shit pushed in brb.

>Direct analogues
Alright. Gimme for:
Noise Marines' weapons
Maulerfiend (size and base size included)
Cultists
Daemon summoning (intimate to my CSM's theme)
>>
>>46629975
Nope.
Shit goes south fast if tau suffer logistics breakdowns.

Military forces rarely even have earth caste engineers enough to maintain what they have, drawbacks of very high technology and caste system.

Fire warriors can maintain their rifles well enough, replace parts if they have the materials, but they are clueless as to manufacture, agriculture and farming is unnecessary information, hell even foraging is for kroots and primitives with no infrastructure.

>>46629654
>Emo is a subset of goth
I get a bit autistic about this since I really like emo, but that's a common misconception that's completely wrong

Emo was basically born from the post-hardcore punk scene as bands followed the example of guys like Jawbreaker, Mineral, Cap'n Jazz and Sunny Day Real Estate and had more of a focus on how fucking sad they all were. Hell, it used to be called emotional post-hardcore. It was mostly a scene filled with middle class white guys in their early twenties that went to too many local shows.

Then along came this band called Jimmy Eat World that started off as a small emo group, before changing to pop punk. They then exploded in popularity and the retards in magazines like NME and the Rolling Stone got confused and thought their new sound was emo and started applying the term to it. Then came guys like My Chemical Romance that started that whole faggy goth shit in the mid 2000s.

Gradually the vocals got more harsh and screamo sprouted out from it, which is another genre that is completely different to what people think it is and got mixed up so badly that the original genre is now called skramz, but that's another rant.

tl;dr
this is emo

This is the third time I have to tell your mentally challenged ass that there is no analogue for the Daemon Engines. I also never said there were analogues for everything.

No one is saying you have to. You don't need to descend into spergmadness when people mention using CSM for Loyalists.
>>
>>46630162
Use blast masters and plasma cannons and other weapons as plasma guns.
Maulerfiend can be an ironclad.
Cultists can be scouts.
Librarians are much better at summoning daemons that CSMs will ever be due to librarius conclave, much less likely to peril too.
As for oblits you can use them as centurions.

Hey, I'm just asking you to back up your shit, you're the guy who keeps resorting to name-calling.

You told me "IT'S EASY YOU JUST USE A DIFFERENT CODEX" when you gave me another reason why that's not an option: Turns out there's no fucking analogous units and wargear choices for most of the shit I and a lot of others use. you don't even explain your Obliterator/infantry counts-as loadout despite bringing it up yourself.
>>
>>46630125
You mean harvester cannon? I dont know why you wouldnt shell out extra for the pleghm though. You get to keep the cannon for skyfire
>>
>>46630344
Right, so Noise Marines would be Sternguard or any other unit that can use all those special weapons right? Is an Ironclad the same size base and profile as a Maulerfiend (aren't they like half the size of one?). Do scouts have some sort of autogun equivalent for the Cultists? Cause this would be a WYSIWYG nightmare honestly.
>>
>>46630383
I use modified Gauss Weapons for my Grav.

If you were consistent, noise weaponry would make a great count-as for Grav weaponry.

I was talking to someone else, then you started accusing me of shitposting. The other guy was amenable to the idea, so there's no need for you to get so anally pained.
>>
>>46629573
Anyone?
>>
>>46630344
Maulerfiends are a shitty ironclad counts as since they're wildly different in size and movement style.

Cultists lack the armor and weapons to stand-in for Scouts.
>>
>>46630153
Alpha legion gets shit done, unlike another certain legion lead by a certain individual with a lack of arms.
>>
Do other players get pissed if you use a stand-in model in place of say a FW earthshaker cannon? Im building a pie plate spam DKoK list and dont want to spend 100 pounds on one arty piece.
>>
>>46630456
Sternguard can take a plasma cannon and then everyone else can have combi-weapons, as long as all the guys are using the same gun it shouldn't be hard to remember.

Ironclad is the largest dreadnought variant and while it cant move 12" it has move through cover and can take a chain fist with power fist for a mauler-fiend. If you're running a forge fiend you could use it was a normal dreadnought with auto-cannon and plasma cannon/assult cannon.

Scouts can be equiped with close combat weapons, bolters or shotguns so no matter what weapons you put on them they can use it, the only problem is that while they can take a heavy bolter(heavy stubber) they can't have flame throwers.

Those chaos units are the hardest to translate honestly but you can do it if you try to keep it as close as possible.
>>
Do GW corporate employees get FW discounts
>>
>>46630538
As long as it looks like 'field artillery' it should be fine.

If you has to be GW you can just buy basilisks and cut the cannons off them if you're good at converting.
>>
>>46630456
You could use an inquisition detachment for your cultists models as acolytes, if you didn't want to dedicate so much to take an IG detachment for guardsmen. You could even use the rad cultist commanders as inquisitors.
>>
>>46630538
Go ebay-hunting. They shell out ~15$ artilleries which look decent enough.

Or just contant your local friendly chinaman. Bough myself 9 earthshakers and 9 medusas for ~500$. Might seem much but if I would have bought real ones they would have costed 1871$...

I know I can do all this shit but something about having to jump through all these hoops just to have a chance at beating some WAACfag armies doesn't sit well with me. We shouldn't fucking have to, in fact its probably less hassle and better for your dignity if you just refused to play WAACfags.

I mean shit, I beat my GK friend's list 9 times out of ten with my CSM and he field a Dreadknight, a Knight-Errant and Draigowing.
>>
>>46629975
A military force of purely Fire caste? Nope. The Fire caste's experience with their weaponry is limited to maintenance and control, not actual manufacturing.

Now if it as a colony with all four castes present, just no Ethereals, then yes. The Farsight Enclaves had that happen, and they turned into fully self sufficient colonies.
>>
>>46630538
Just buy artillery model kits. It's a huge waste of money to buy a nasty hunk of forgeworld tubes when you could just spend like 15bux on a decent plastic kit.

Or you can make your own with plumbing parts.

The cyclic ion and plasma on the commander is a little odd. Consider taking two of the same gun in this case.

Your riptide should really have a fusion blaster.

The bodyguard unit seems a little too flimsy, shield drones might help instead of the gun drones

The extra commander that rolls with the drones doesn't really help much. Consider dropping those drones and that commander for some extra firewarriors.

Consider making both heavy support options skyrays, you don't have enough markerlights.
>>
What's the best way to make use or the new Lords of Slaughter formation for CSM? Are there any cool tricks to pull off with access to divination (albeit limited)?

So far the best I've figured is deep-striking combi-terminators and using the unlimited range to make their combi-weapons more reliable for a turn.

Thanks for the advice :)
I usually go CIB+Plas on commander because it makes him a bit more all-round - if I particularly want a light vehicle dead they'll both do the business, and if I want MEQ/TEQ dead he can still do damage. Maximise that BS5.

Riptide thing was a mistake :P

With the drones, I think that they're more points effective/durable/useful than pathfinders, I guess the only other thing I could do is have a skyray being solely used for markers.
