>chaos undivided greater daemons exist

They don't. "Chaos Undivided" no longer exists as an objective truth within the setting. It's just a religious belief of those Chaos worshipers who choose to pay homage to the entire pantheon. The only 'undivided' Daemons are Be'lakor, who was a unique experiment the Chaos Gods learned not to repeat, and Furies, which are the spiritual detritus that none of them care enough to collect.
>>
>>46729023
greater daemons are made explicitly by the hand of chaos gods

I've certainly never heard of any undivided greater daemon
>>
>>46729187
Not to mention the great plethora of Warp-ghosts, Warp-spirits and very minor Daemons which are not part of the big four ruinous powers. Calling them Chaos is rather fallacious, but there are unaligned "Daemons," out there.

>>
>>46729308
It isn't stated. However, it is stated that Be'lakor is the only Daemon Prince who isn't tied to one of the four Gods. Ergo, Lorgar and Perturabo can't be allied with 'Chaos Undivided'. They might have worshiped all four equally, or ignored them all, but eventually their deeds would have caught the eye of one above the other three and caused that God to elevate them.

However, they soon realised the folly of combining their might into a single vessel, as
Be’lakor was nearly uncontrollable. They soon began to raise up new Daemon Princes, each
god choosing only champions that would be loyal to them, and them alone.

Can we expect lorgar and perturabo to be retconned into worshipping one of the gods in particular then?
>>
>>46729187
>Be'lakor
Be'lakor is a daemon prince, not a great deamon.

There are other entities in the warp that do not belong to one of the four factions. There's also several lesser Chaos gods. The original daemonhunter codex daemons are undivided.

Page 49 of Daemonhunter codex
>The Daemons that manifest in Daemonhunters games need not be aligned to any of the four major Ruinous Powers, as there are countless Chaos powers inhabiting the Warp

>no longer exists as an objective truth within the setting
Welp, I'm clueless if in the current fluff there are undivided daemons. But they used to exist, that's for sure.

We normally get fags asking for this shit after they played whatever new hotness on their xbox.

But you wanted a name, right?

Askr - Old norse word for ash tree; ash; spear
Could also be written as Askor or Askar, depending on pronunciation.

You can also use Brenna as your house name. Same deal it means burning; burn; be on fire; light; set on fire

So you would end up with something like:
Askor of House Brenna, or Askor, Knight of Brenna.

Also I'm going to use this name for something else if you don't mind.

Can't really do that with Lorgar, you would need to write his character allover again which would pretty much fuck up the HH and Word Bearers as a whole. The best way would be to kill Lorgar off before his apotheosis, but that's not preferable either

The rapier array is AP1 as well. But here's an interesting question, where in Book 6 does it give stats to the vindicator's array? I've heard people say it's 48" inches instead of 36", but only reference to this is the old PDF. Book 6 is newer, so surely you're suppose to use the rules in that. And it only says it can take a laser destroyer array, but doesn't give stats to it (at least that I can find). So wouldn't that mean you use the ones found in the red book, which is 36"? If there's newer rules, wouldn't that upgrade affect the rapier and things like spartans and legion super-heavies as well?

Well, he was never in 40k to begin with. He was a name dropped in Archaon's fluff and a token character in Storm of Chaos. Then someone at GW thought that he was cool enough to sacrifice the entirety of Chaos to and he became the new C'tans, all powerful, behind everything, etc.

>>46730159

Funnily enough GW's latest abortion, Age of Sigmar, actually did one thing right for once, Be'lakor is pretty much gone from the setting. Probably because the writers realized that he completely underminded Archaon (which is suppose to be a big badass now).
>>
Just me or is the Cerastus frame kinda shit?

Not the actual units, those are fine. I mean the difference between the smaller knights and a Cerastus one.

It's about 1.5 times the height of the smaller one, but for that you get:

-1 extra attack
-Runs faster. Useless in most situations because abandoning very expensive ranged attacks.
-No stubber.
-No top weapon mount.

Basically my complaint is it's too similar and heck, arguably slighly worse than it's noticably smaller counterpart.

If you've got points to spare, upgrades are fine. Just don't go too crazy, a dozer blade would be a better option half the time.
Giving your Sargent +1 melee attack or +1 shot, that's your call based on your playstyle.
A 10 man can combat squad, so your question is invalid. Split when you need to, don't when you don't.
You can start inside any transport, but only the unit that bought the dedicated one it can be in it if that's so. Otherwise, you can put anything in any transport.
>>
>>46730435
No
Bolter

Yes, if a dedicated transport is for a troops choice in a CAD it also gets objective secured. Other than that dedicated transports are simply a restriction.

>>46730188
Well, not everyone plays based on statlines. I occassionally run whats considered to be the worst Knight, the Castigator - because I like the look of it.

Seems like if you have a 10 man squad, you can overwatch better.

If a 10man squad gets charged, they all overwatch before going into melee. If two 5man sqauds get charged, they have to overwatch individually.

Also, a good sgt with high leadership seems to do better with a 10man squad since his ld can affect 9 other guys instead of just 4. So if you have two smaller squads, morale tests might be harder, as opposed to one big squad with a good leader.

Lastly, it seems like whenever you lose a whole squad, the enemy gets a point. So a 10man squad could make it harder for your opponent to get a point that way.

I'm still a newb so I don't know how much of this is true.

>Be'lakor is pretty much gone from the setting

He isn't. He still has lore and the Grand Alliance Chaos book expands his lore by seeing that he is a wild card and that he was the first Everchosen of Chaos who abandoned his title and position to pursue his own agenda.

'crons don't have that problem
daemons don't have that problem
skit-mech don't have that problem

hell even sisters don't have that problem

I understand that the bottom three armies have it tough, but you all need to stop acting like every army except the the top three are completely unplayable and almost guaranteed to get tabled.

I play CSM too; there is no amount of min-maxing you can do to compete with those armies if they are also min-maxed.

Just play the models you like, paint better than everyone else, and condescendingly laugh at faggots who field formations against your CSM.
>>
So I tried out a 1000 points Slaneesh Daemon army today against CSM, won pretty hard.

My keeper of secrets did great, running a greater ether blade and a book of true names (cant remember the actual name). However, his mastery level 3 was pretty much useless for the whole game. Hell, perils of the warp was the only thing that damaged him. Was I just unlucky this game with my rolling and I should give physic powers another go on the KoS, or spend the 75 points somewhere else?

better off going 2 greater 1 lesser for rewards.
3 levels in telepathy is always great.

>>
>>46730626
Keepers are W5 T6 Excess/Telepathy/Malefic psykers with possibly 3 mastery levels, they are typically very difficult to kill (and nigh impossible now if you spend the 20 points to give them the Soulstealer relic)

They are exceptionally good psykers typically but telepathy can be a hit/miss on powers depending on what army you're playing against. They're base ML 1 so you'll always have at least one roll, but if you think your opponent is monster hunting you may want to put the upgrades on a herald or elsewhere.

Consider using two greater rewards on the Keeper and giving the grimoire to another daemon who can then buff the Keeper. Lash of Despair is also an incredible option.

They're not as strong as Eldar or tau, it's not even close, but people get off on bitching about them. A fully stocked crusader is about the same cost as a baneblade but with half the firepower and 2/3 the hull points, but you don't see people crying about them.

hey nice deflection. well that settles it, those are the only differences. we should just stop our tears and move on. OH WAIT! they are also meelee monsters too. No free meltabomb destruction for whoever actually gets there. Charge it with a unit of meganobz? probably 3 dead, not that they would get there, because you have alot of points left to buy things that make sure that never happens. Look at all these bolter weapons that go completely to waste. Hey I guess my marines are a waste against all guard armies too then. Nope, I can charge them and wreck their back armor. Well theni guess ork walker lists and all dread lists must be just as broken too? No, again. One good lascannon shot kills them dead, and there are not generally meaningful invun saves around.

knights have the best of all worlds. And the games are BORING, because there is no middle ground, close games. Either you have the silver bullets to deal with them wipeing them pretty easy, or you dont and you lose spectacularly. Nobody wants to watch the NFL's best team womp on colleges worst team (more than once anyway, which is why knight players get exactly one game in with opponents).

Page 184 of Grand Alliance of Chaos. Titled "Daemons of Chaos". Has a sexy picture of Be'lakor surrounded by daemons.

"Chief among the dispossessed are the Daemon Princes mighty champions who were once human but who earned the reward of immortality. Among the barbarous tribes of the realms, these creatures are demigodsm sympols of the ultimate reward awaiting at the end of the Path to Glory. To the Greater Daemons, however, they are but lieutenants, powerful without a doubt, but still beings that were once mortal. Some are harder to define, like the malicious Be'lakor who was the first Everchosen, but turned aside from his path at the last in order to pursue his own selfish agenda"

Like your orks can play against anything resembling a top tier army anyway. You at least get a chance here instead of being murdered by shoot and scoot troop choices all game. Or have every squad murdered by d scythes on t6 infantry hanging out in tanks with transport capacity.

And how about using those troops to claim objectives and score points maybe? Play the game instead of crying about someone bringing a different style of army along. A knights costs the same as three russ tanks, which have higher armor, more hull, a bette r ability to spread out for objectives and more guns, too.

>>46731531

That's a Cerastus Knight Castigator you're thinking of, one of the four Cerastus frames.

To address your point: Yes, the Castigator does one thing very well. The problem is that the complete inability to charge a seperate unit from where it aims it's main gun makes it worse not just at flexibility, but even at it's speciality due to overkill issues.

Out of curiosity, how often do you find the following two things happen:

-Shooting the unit foils your charge distance.
-Shooting then charging the unit leaves you overkilling the unit by a hefty ammount, wasting potential.

So I'm working on plans for a marine army, and so far all I have is that they're siege defense specialists, basically focused around holding a line with big defensive guns.

For this I had planned on giving Grav-guns to tacticals for a more stationary special weapon, along with taking more Devastators and other troops with a variety of heavier guns to take out approaching targets.

My question is how to do this in a way that won't devolve into a boring gunline that just sits there and slowly picks away at the enemy.

The Grand Alliance Books are not lore dumps. They just have little lore blurbs and most of it is rules. The Battletomes and Narrative campaign are the lore dump books.

If you been following fantasy lore, then you would know that authors take their time in writing lore about Be'lakor. For example, After SoC it took a decade for GW to write Be'lakor lore that showed him to be responsible for a great many things in the setting.

In AoS, it won't be different but first they must establish the key events of the setting before revealing that Be'lakor was behind it all.

Marines are always incredibly boring to play against. It is an army of the base stat line in the game that shoots and has a few tricks. A gun line army is no more or less interesting to play against than any other Marine build in the game.

That's also possible. How do I do it properly, then?

Last time I tried, I added a force, so my list had a CAD and a Formation Detachment, and it required tactics for both.

Most armies can content with all knight army in some capacity. Obviously there are some bottom tier armies that unfortunately can't compete at all, but most armies that are mid tier or better can handle 5 knights.

My store also has very good players so no one really bitches. Everyone expects a tough game against a great player so we skip a lot of the whining that is prevalent in most 40k gaming.

Black Legion relics didn't get changed, but you can take them in addition to the codex relic list now which opens up more options like sticking the Skull on something that has the Black Mace of Axe of Blind Rage.

The big change is that Abaddon's WS5 BS5 Chosen Terminators are as cheap as regular Terminators. Also there are some other formations like traitorous Librarius Conclave and Demi-Company counterparts, but no decurion to put them in because GW is retards.

Pretty much this. Mech guard hasn't been a WAAC list in like 5 years.
If Chimeras were 12/12/10, I could see the complaints, but the Chimeras have a relatively short front and long sides, it's pretty easy to get side shots and destroy them. The T3 5+ guardsmen that spill out are laughable.

I'm mad that faggots like you cry all day every day online. I get that /tg/ is shit at games but your constant whining is so fucking irritating.

Anyone who plays something you don't want to deal with or who has a better codex you refuse to handle. You drop to name calling to cover your own inadequacies and inability to even try to adapt to a new situation on the board.

You poison people against things you don't like and your first suggestion to anyone saying "I can't beat X" is to tell them the other guy isn't playing fair, and to take your toys and go home.

You're the tumblrinas of the gaming world. You dilute everything by crying until the world changes to fit your fucked up worldview. "I refuse to play against codex X, Y or Z" is the kind of shit That Guy does, yet you're jerking yourselves off because you're training a generation of new players to hate the game they're playing, their friends that play, and themselves.

You're a stain on the hobby. Please remove yourself from it before you ruin it for others as well.

I'm an ork player. And I admit our codex is a bit weak but I'm not gona cry about it. I honestly dont think it is as bad as people think. Some ork players are going a bit over board with it and just saying the Dex out right sucks. Mega nobs are still awesome, tank bustas can kill a knight in one turn if played correctly, and we can still have swarms of bikers.

Should the Dex get an update? Yes

But is it unplayable? No

Then they have to rely on reserve rolls, which can screw them over. Which gives you time to get into position and eliminate their other forces.

And if you know they will be in reserve, the strategic warlord trait that reduces your enemies reserve rolls helps.

We play the game to have fun, not roll rigged dice and use broke ass formations and powers.

I would have been alright with the nerf they got in the most recent codex, if it came with and AV boost.

I disagree, I recently played against a very average marine list with tacs in rhinos and just a basic balanced take all comers list and it was genuinely fun to play against and I would love for the game to drift back towards TAC lists and far away from double skyhammers and 9 riptides

since when was it not bad?

nobody wants to play against your grav spam/taudar/all knight/ war convo/etc list. the whole point of 40k is 'Forging the Narrative', having fluff driven campaigns and scenarios that create a more interesting atmosphere to the game, not 'LOL i brought 5 superheavies get fukt'.

then again, i actually played football in high school and college, so i guess im so not beta as to have to 'get competitive' in a plastic army man game.

>Why would you want to play a game, against orks or csm for example, where you were guaranteed victory? Why even play?

Every time I see some faggot use whatever combo to automatically get invisiblity
And then use it on a deathstar
And then run at the opponent
Then watch as they do nothing to it next turn
Only to see another drop pod arrive that also has invisibility
And use it on massive deathstar
That multi-charges the entire enemy force

I don't wonder why they play, I know. They are complete WAAC netlisting faggots
The kind that are the cancer on the game
And they deserve to be taken out back and beaten, then forced to sell their models to pay for the medical bills.
>>
>>46734100

My skitarii list (not war convo) with drop pods handles it easily. 18 Haywire shots and 18 Plasma shots a turn make fairly short work of Knights.

>>46734196

I wouldn't personally but if that's what you enjoy then that's what you enjoy. I may not agree with that guy but if he wants to play like that let him find some like minded people and play with them.

>>46734225

Cool - glad you are an alphajock. I assume you also get mad pussy after your games? But really - what value does stating you played high school and collegiate sports have? I played OLB and started at CCU. I don't begrudge people the fun they want to have. Some people enjoy narrative wargaming, some don't. The idea that shitting on someone because their hobby isn't in line with yours is pretty shitty.

the idea that you are entitled to people putting up with your WAAC bullshit is shitty. if you want to do something 'competitive' do something that is made to be competitive, 40k is laughably broken in a 'competitive' setting and was never designed as such.

go play that privateer press bullshit if you want some 'competitive' plastic army man game.

>>46734344
Black Legion basically only has the sorcerer Enclave and maybe some Relic combos with the core rules.

Crimson Slaughter has some interesting stuff, but the possessed everywhere bring it down somewhat. It'd be better if that mega-formation where they come back on a 4+ was a Decurion that only needed 2 of the formations to work.

There's some good stuff in there, but unless you were already using the units in the formations it's not the sort of thing to really go out of your way for.
>>
>>46734344
Crimson slaughter has turned it's back on it's former "Word Bearers unofficial codex", and instead become... Khorneflakes with prescience sprinkles.
>>
>>46734380
New Renegade Knight rules. They ally in the same way as CSM, so AoC with Orks.

They can also get double Gatling guns, which is sweet.
>>
>>46734304
>I may not agree with that guy but if he wants to play like that let him find some like minded people and play with them.
Are there any? Why would you want to play a game with no chance of victory?

I guess you could make up your own "victroy conditions" like make it to turn 3 without being tabled or kill at least one knight.
>>
>>46734407
can crimson slaughter access normal dex relics or is it just Black legion?
>>
>>46734413
>turned it's back on it's former "Word Bearers unofficial codex",

Really? I think that formation with a Dark Apostle, squad of possessed, and 1-3 space marine squads that all get Zealot and FNP fits them perfectly.

I don't even think they have any Khorne formations. There was one in Black Legion, but if anything the Crimson Slaughter update leans more towards Tzeentch.
>>
>>46734460
Both can access the core book. It's nice in each case, since it gives the utility of the supplement relics while still having the good weapons of the codex.
>>
>>46734399

Those are basic troops. I pay my points to take them - I'm not getting anything for free. Those are just the options my troops get. That costs me around 750 points for 4 troops and 4 drop pods. Or am I a faggot for literally just taking troops at this point?

>>46734397

Warmachine players are actually worse than 40k players.

>>46734449

Who knows? That said if there are people who enjoy that type of game play then let them enjoy it. That's my problem with this whole line of thinking is /tg/ in particular really wants to crown itself the king arbiter of what kind of fun is allowed and what kind of fun isn't. Let people play with their models in peace. Someone posts an all knight list for critique and you think all knights is a shitty list? Just don't comment. There is nothing to be gained from telling that guy he is an asshole.
>>
>>46734496
That is pleasing to know, i play CS lots but no black mace or burning brand sucks
>>
>>46734304
Nah, he was shitting on them for arguing that spending more money on broken shit than the other player entitles you to beating them. Basically this thread is full of Cartmen "and Kyle has to watch me play." "Well we can give the truck but I don't think we can force Kyle to watch..."No! Kyle has to watch me play with the truck!!!!!"
>>
>>46734518
Yeah. It's a nice improvement.

The main downside is a twist in wording that says no models can 'have VotLW' instead of saying 'take' like it used to.

This means that while before you could have all 4 Cult troops and take Daemon princes, now by RAW you can only have Plague, Noise, and Berserkers.

It's a very dumb oversight, but an allied detatchment can help alleviate it somewhat.
>>
>>46734511
I think you should comment.
It's important for the player to know that while there are players that would want to face an opponent with that list, there are also players that wouldn't.

If all they get is positive reactions, they might be in for an unpleasant surprise when after hours of modeling and painting, a large number of players won't play against them.
>>
>>46734064
Ok asshole, let me break it down so even YOU can understand.
This is a formation that, at its lowest cost, is about 380pts. For that price, you get a formation that has the following:
>All units arrive at the same time
A lot of other fomations have this, so this isn't so bad by itself.
>Can choose to arrive on turn 1 or 2
This is shit that Daemons should have, and it gets ridiculous when you can just pick and don't have to roll.
>Devs get Relentless when they arrive
So, unlike normal heavy weapon units, they can fire at full ballistic skill. Annoying, but not as bad as the next bit.
>Assaults can charge right after arriving
Very, VERY few units are allowed to do this, and for good reason. It's a move that allows no defense, except overwatch, BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE
>Units fired at by the devs must take a Morale check on 3D6 or Go to Ground. If passed, they can't fire overwatch regardless
So, the one defense most units would have is now invalidated, and you are free to rip apart anything you set your eyes on.
>Assaults can jump in Move AND Assault
This, combined with the deep strike, gives them a MASSIVE threat range when they arrive, so nobody is safe outside of maybe 12 inches.
>If Assaults charge anybody who has GtG, they reroll all failed to hit and to wound rolls
This is the last sheet of sandpaper on the wound. Anything they charge will die the turn they arrive.

This entire formation is easily capable of murdering anything in your enemy's deployment zone, without any fear of reprisal. No shooting, no overwatch, and intercepter may be used if your opponent has it at all. Not even me, a Nid player who has come to terms with his losses and sometimes enjoys them, would look at this with anything other than disgust.

If you genuinely think this is something any of your friends want to put up with, you aren't their friend.

Go ahead, tell me this is bait, I don't care. I needed to vent anyways.

>>
>>46734594
Yeah, just be warned people who actually bother to read Chaos rules (I know, it's a long shot) might try and argue it.

If you need to argue it with them, there is that one relic that used to specify a Daemon prince couldn't take it (the Daemonheart, I think?) I haven't read the new rules on it, but if it still says they can't, that's a strong case for allowing them.

No one comments with a 'that's not my cup of tea' on /tg/ though. It is 'you're a huge faggot for every wanting to play all knights'. If the comment was 'you might wanna run that by your FLGS to make sure they're cool with all knights' I'd understand. But when the response is 'lol good luck getting a game you faggot' it doesn't help anyone. It just further cements the idea that /tg/ thinks it has the right to policy the hobby (but only /tg/ because heaven forbid you mention any major event with its own FAQ or balancing factors, that's shilling for house rules).

>>46734567

Reserve your army and go second if possible. That's how you deal with beta strike armies. If my opponent and I agree to that level of game then we can surely have a good game against one another regardless of the power of the formation. Also I'd really like to point out that I've played against the formation several times and I've rarely had major issues with it.
>>
>>46734664
First time on the internet?
>>
>>46734567
don't forget the formation comes with absolutely no useless tat like most other formations
it's just 2 assault + 2 devestators and drop pods
meanwhile something like an emperor's wrath company (which i consider one of the better guard formations) has to tack on a chimera , manticore or deathstrike and an enginseer
>>
>>46734691

Certainly not, I've been on /tg/ for a long time. And honestly it used to be better - there used to be a time where you could ask for suggestions on competitive play, lists, options etc. and there were some good players on the board. You could have a 40k general where fluff was discussed as well as fluff driven games and it could coexist next to guys who enjoyed playing tournament style games. Some threads would lean one way or another but there was room in 40k general for both. Now though if you mention tournament, a good list, etc. you're the devil, the poison, everything wrong with the game, the reason 40k is dieing etc. I don't need an internet hugbox because it doesn't foster healthy discussion but being 40k's fun police doesn't either.

You can't even ask rules on /tg/ at this point because /tg/ is so bad at 40k that no one knows the fucking rules.

so instead of losing on turn 1 because half your army gets wiped out and you forfeit you now lose on turn one because half your army got wiped out and the other half is in reserve which tables you
smart plan just fucking pull your whole army in reserve for 2 turns to stop 10% of the enemy's army from destroying half of it before you can even play your turn
>>
>>46734794

The excuse that this is 4chan is bullshit. /tg/ used to be a halfway civil board where things were discussed rather than the rotten tripe of /b/ and /v/ dripping in.

Well I disagree, myself and the other chaos players have chatted in this thread about new rules and no one has bothered us or called us faggots, why you may ask? Because we are not trying to justify using OP dick head formations that ruin other peoples fun because you want to win.
Now would I prefer if things were a little more friendly here? Yes of course, but GW thrives on our tears, why else would they fuck up rules so bad.
>>
>>46734838
>Don't play an army that loses to assault marines?
Almost everything has units that will lose out in assault against assault marines.

Even if everything in your army can out fight assault marines, there's a good chance they will suffer from the assault marines sacrificing themselves to de-mech you.
>>
>>46734838
Assault marines with shred and hit rerolls that won't have to take overwatch?
You're serious?
>>
Haven't played in ages, but planning to run a 40k RPG has made me look at stuff again. It's very cool to see AdMech stuff but why are Skitarii and Cult Mechanicus two separate codices? Even combined they don't have a ton of model variety, seems pretty ridiculous.
>>

>>Because we are not trying to justify using OP dick head formations that ruin other peoples fun because you want to win.

This is literally the fun policing I am talking about. This comment served no purpose what so ever. You just said that 40k general is not an uncivil place and then proceeded to do the very thing that makes this an angry and hostile environment.

>>46734937

Not super concerned about 30 WS4/S4 attacks. They kill 5 marines on average. That assumes you aren't in any kind of cover to slow down the charge or don't have ANY kind of counter assault trickery.

Sadly the fact is that some formations are too strong and thus make it a waste of time to even be there fighting against it.
A game of 40k should be 2 sides fighting, rather then one side wiping out the other before it even gets to fight, how is that fun for anyone?

War hounds and other titans should have a FOC similar to Knight with a bunch of LOW slots and a special rule that gives +1WS +1BS and warlord trait to a model of your choice.

That's only fair
>>
>>46735083

I don't even play the stuff that's being discussed. I'm simply suggesting that it's a pretty awful attitude to tell someone how awful they are for using a formation YOU don't like when you don't even know what their regular opponents field.

I run Demons of Nurgle and Skitarri w/Iron Hands allies. Both armies are literally a CAD and 2 CADs respectively. I don't care what you play - I just don't think its fair to shit all over somebody because of what they choose to play without knowing anything else about them.

>>46735055

See above - you've no idea if half the posters who post about Skyhammer or Knights or whatever play in a store where that is the order of the day and it is still a game about 2 opposing forces fighting.
>>
>>46735220

>>
>>46735299

Sure - that's douchey behavior - but literally no has suggested that's OK. The closest is the Knight player saying he's tired of people bitching about Knights and other people telling him it's his fault he doesn't get games (when that was never the point). My problem with ever 40k general is that if you suggest you play a good army like WarConvo or Riptide Wing nobody asks you who you play against or what your meta is like. They just immediately jump into how toxic, awful, and shitty you are. What good does that serve? You get to vent because the asshole with WarConvo at your store kicks your ass? Maybe at that guy's store he has nothing but power lists and they like that. /tg/ wants to be the fucking police of what is and isn't allowed in 40k without ever accepting or acknowledging that other people play for different reasons.

See this shit is fun policing at its finest. This guy - who knows absolutely nothing about the poster in questions' gaming group has suggested that they're all faggots and don't want anyone to have any fun. When in fact the only thing that poster said is that in HIS (i.e. he isn't suggesting you should play like this) group that if you refuse to play someone for a formation then anyone can refuse to play you for any other reason because THEY (i.e. he and his friends, again not you) think formations are OK.

look up the term "beardy" it was literally invented by GW to shame players that always hunted for every advantage, every stat better than the next unit designing lists not to have fun, but to win, regardless of the other persons enjoyment. The game was originally about hobby, having gentlemens agreements on what kind of faggotry to avoid. If your generation cant stand this mentality, there is the door to warmachines/hordes, where other rapey creepy uncle types will welcome you with open arms and bottles of lube.
