>>47709484
well last year was the Year of Khorne, with all the new AOS stuff.
And several rumourmongers did say that tzeentch was getting stuff next, which is proving to be true with the silver tower, at least, so why not?
>>
>>47709405
Fantastic, that should be a (kinda) economical way to bring my forces onboard. Can you mix Chaos Marines and Cultists? I noticed that they have separate lists.
>>
>>47709528
Yes, you can have "Cultist Squads" in Chaos kill teams, which consist of 5 cultists for 20 points a squad. This usually isn't a very good way of spending your points though, since you're limited to only 20 core models, and 20 cultists would be 80 points.
>>
>>47709459
So whats with the ad mech greentext?
>>
>>47709558
It's literally any mention or use of the word "Admech". It's an old meme that hasn't been replaced yet.

Which reminds me, there's two tiles remaining that need new shit to put on them, so I need suggestions. The two tiles to be replaced are, ">Admech", and "Mathhammer doesn't tell you how units actually perform"
>>
>>47709553
Again, fantastic. My friends recently expressed interest in doing something 40k, but none of them have the time/interest for playing the full game (or the money or time to assemble an army). This'll be a good way to get back into things.

It also gives me an excuse to buy a little of everything. I was fucking astonished by the Skitarii figures when I first saw them.

It seems mad to me that there's two different codecies for them. Why did that come about?

>30k is popular

It's boring, but that's part of why it's not that unbelievable a rumor.

I've no interest in primarchs, though. Give me deathwatch, baby.
>>
>>47709508
>so why not?

Games Workshop and Forge World have always had huge boners for Khorne and Nurgle.

I play mono-Tzeentch and don't want to get my hopes up.
>>
>>47709745
>>47709787
I still kinda resent the Horus Heresy blowing up and taking focus away from 40k. I guess it needed to happen, since 40k can't really go many places on a grand narrative scale, but I always preferred that the origin story was a time of legends and vague accounts.
>>
>>47709830
I feel almost the same.
I don't dislike 30k because it's a prequel. We know what happened.

But in 40k i like how certain doom is upon anyone, and Primarchs are really the only variable but have yet to make the first move.

Bringing the Primarchs back is going from Grimdark to a standard Fantasy, with Gods clashing each others for the sake of selling minis.
>>
Which book are you supposed to use to represent Elysians? How about Harakoni? I'm assuming Scions for the latter.
>>
>>47709905
If 30k allows certain xenos like orks, eldar and any other very old races Id be fine with it.

>Primarchs are really the only variable but have yet to make the first move.

Well Angron did make a move and got assfucked by GK, so unless they retcon this he will not appear in current 40k. Magnus seems to be the only other one interested in doing anything, the others seem fine to just sit around.

>Thousand Sons confirmed
I probably won't be buying any since I already have 2 squads but I'm eager to see the new boxes. Plus the book's practically guaranteed to have 3-4 Thousand Sons specific formations so I'm pretty excited.

The new codex will ultimately decide if I'll take my CSM seriously or leave them for when I want to play something superfriendly.

Wargear is largely a result of playing around with the Space Marine Painter but I'm thinking of calling these guys Dusk Wardens.

Basically a fleet based Raven Guard successor who specializes in two-pronged attacks, an alpha strike to the leadership of the opposing force followed immediately by hitting the main army afterwards.

Board games, AoS, expansions (like the Fenris stuff that gave us back Wulfen, and Angels of Death).

Board games is a separate team (praise be to Rountree).
>>
>>47709996
>the others seem fine to just sit around.
Angron and Mortarion have both lead 2 campaigns after the Heresy, one which almost lead to a considerable civil war. Lorgar is still an active leader of his legion and has his hand the battles they wage
>>
>>47710146
Yeah, but it's the same modeling team for both meaning they have less time for main army releases, hence campaign books with mini-releases instead of full book updates.
>>
>>47710160
Lorgar is written as a sulking sop who may or may not know he's actually fiction at this point.
>>
>>47710160
>Lorgar is still an active leader of his legion
Source? I just finished the Word Bearers omnibus, and they complain about Lorgar fucking off into his temple and not doing anything.
>>
>>47710194
Anon's source is their own ass it seems. I've never seen any real fluff that Lorgar is doing much of anything post Heresy.
>>
Don't forget Pert helping out with a Black Crusade.
>>47710207
Apparently he's taught Lord Abigail Topknot some new daemon summoning rituals.
>>
>>47710236
Doesn't mean he's really active, he probably just handed ol-Armless a copy of "Daemon Summoning for the Complete Moron" and buggered off.

He's the "active leader" in that the Dark Council/Erebus/Kor Phaeron (The actual leaders, atm) all act in his name and all the various grand companies answer to them, and Lorgar through them. Lorgar Could reappear and take command of the Legion again, but he hasn't, so the Dark Council rules instead.
>>
Yo people, if I want to use penal legionnaires for an ig force, should I just reference/make use of the 5th ed. codex for rules and points or use a fan-made one off dakkadakka?

Can't be arsed having to do a platoon command squad to field them as normal infantry, and they look nothing like vets since I've give the scum of humanity autoguns. Anyway, I think penal legions are still canon because of regiments like the Savlar chem dogs; and also because they've been featured in books like imperial armour 1.

>Get you Space Marineâ„¢ and xenos armies ready!

>>47710273
Acting in his name is not the same thing as him doing things. Most of the Imperium acts in the Emperor's name, but we all know he isn't actually doing shit to lead them.

Beating Marines is about the only thing Sisters are good at. Kinda funny that the militant arm of the Ordo Hereticus would be good at killing Marines. Anyways, play objectives over playing your opponent's Army and try to not get tabled.

Yep, Tau and Necrons are the real hard counters so they're challenging too.
The lack of OS on necrons is nice for us, but every transport getting popped the moment you go for objectives isn't!
>>47710627
I do that, my 1500 list (Standard at UK GW shops) is
Celestine
2x (BSSx5, HF/F, Immo TLMM)
3x (Domx5, 4xMG, VSS, Combi-Melta, Repressor)
3xExorcist
or something like that. The issue is that necrons and tau are both very good at making sure I can't do anything useful with doms (Lack of big transports, MC's over vehicles), and the backline exorcists can get battered (Scarabs, DS crisis suits)

Also hazard stripes on power fists are pretty retro.

>>47710906
Despite memes like "Land Raiders are Dark Age of Technology tractors" not being true, there is a lot of military tech in the Imperium with industrial or farming roots. The Imperial Knight codex says its battle cannon and chain sword are as much for mining and logging as they are for defense.
>>
>>47710926
I think they mean "military campaign" not "gaming campaign".

The "Suffer not the Alien to Live" looks more likely to be a campaign than the flak vest picture.

>>
>>47711286

why dont you share some of those rumours, you dumb pale dog
>>
>>47711310
Alright.

Dark Eldar Rumors!
The next Dark Eldar codex is due out in the second half of 2016 with several changes.

Raiders are *free* for anything that can take dedicated transports.

Venoms are not free but can disembark passengers after moving 12″.

Wyches sound *good* and fluffy – and they’re getting new models. They all get shred and hydra gauntlets cause blindness. They also have the innate ability to choose to wound off their choice of attributes rather than toughness. So they can pick initiative and wound Necrons on a 3+. That’s what Wyches do to slow people. Their Hecatrix rerolls *everything* in a challenge.

Combat drugs are on a 2D6 chart and are optional.

Darklight weapons (dark lances, blasters, blast pistols) all gain the blind special rule.

During night fighting all enemy units are treated as affected by the blind special rule and there are powers to make it dark on various rounds.

Whenever a Dark Eldar unit with the Power From Pain rule attacks an enemy unit that’s blinded, those attacks gain rending and instant death.

Power from Pain is no longer a turn chart. Instead there are different types of pain the army focuses on, during a given turn and the army fights differently based on what’s chosen. No more details other than that.

The Court of the Archon gets a second copy of the warlord’s warlord power. Additionally enemies do not achieve the Slay the Warlord objective until they’ve killed both the warlord and the Court.

Succubi are like what Lilith Hesperax is right now. Not exactly sure what that means.

Hellions can hit-and-run on their initiative step rather than at the end of the combat round. Shoot, assault, make CC attacks, and then bounce out of combat before the enemy can make their attacks.

Wracks are 2W and any character automatically passes LOS rolls if they have a Wrack with them.
>>
>>47711286
What rumors?
>>
>>47711249
I'm already considering how to adapt this for lenses. I'm currently thinking that you could put a thicker coating of the gemstone into a lense, and then use a wet brush to take some of the paint from the middle of it out, kind of like in a wet-blend.

I also find it really odd that you're not supposed to thin these, but I'm still morbidly curious as to what effects you can get when it's thinned, just like how you can and probably should thin the Blood technicals.
>>
>>47710644
How so?
>>
>>47711326
>Raiders are *free* for anything that can take dedicated transports.

Calling bullshit on it all right there.

Also Wyches don't need new models, they have perfectly good models right now.

Basically this all screams of wishlisting and bullshit.
>>
Those de rumours are old as shit and probs wishlisting
>>
>>47711366
30k is much tamer in a lot of regards to some of the bullshit we see in modern games. Plus most armies have to take Bolter Marine units as a tax before everything else meaning there is less bullshit in a basic army.

I'm not saying they'd be super, but they'd do okay.
>>
>>47711369
My thoughts as well.

I want my Dark Eldar to get buffs, but this just sounds... like bullshit homebrews, basically.

The starting line is this:

>Dark Eldar rumors that really look too good to be true, but Reecius would not be making these up (good guy). So they definitely have heard something. These would be incredible, and a complete re-write of tactics and behind the current debacle of Dark Eldar. Yes, I would dust off my favorite army again.

But I am not really familiar with this Reecius fellow.

>>47711349

You don't thin Blood for the Blood God unless you're painting thin blood on something for a reason. Smearing unthinned BftBG for thick gore and flicking it for splatter is it's main use. Duncan's technique of painting a bit on a blade edge then dragging with a brush is good enough, no need to thin and do multiple layers.

The gemstone paints look good on 30K marines. E.g. Raven Guard black with silver eyes then paint red gemstone and it'll look like the artwork in the rulebooks.

So, plastic Daemon Primarchs confirmed by Sad Panda and Atia. A third but unproven source reported seeing phone pics of a plastic Magnus, possibly with wings. Mortarion, Angron, and one other were also confirmed to be coming.
Atia quoted her source as saying the models would be (sic) 'relevant to the 40k storyline'.

I would venture a guess and say there is an End Times style campaign coming for WH40k. I dont see them trashing the ruleset and doing a fullr eboot of the setting, but it looks like there is something big coming.

Losers beating another loser doesn't make them a winner. Worf effect only applies if people are impressive Worfs to begin with, like the Swarmlord or Avatar. SoB aren't even suffering from Worf effect, they're just the Imperial equivalent of orks.

Does it count as the Worf Effect if they were never fluffed as the biggest badasses around and started getting wrecked right from the very beginning? They exist exclusively to prevent Space Marines get Worf Effected.

There was a line in Curse of the Wulfen short story series where Changeling says something like "he returns".

This was theorized to be Magnus coming to get his revenge on the Space Wolves or a bit more unlikely Leman Russ returning.

Autarch Kael-Sarr once held the gates of a dying Craftworld for three days and two nights against the thronging hordes of the mon-keigh of the Order of the Bloody Rose. The pinkskins were finally driven back when Kael-Sarr crushed the skull of their Living Saint battle leader.

Newer player here. Have all my hobby supplies and books. Also dice, templates and tape measure.

Going to be starting Space Marines and I think I want to play either Imperial Fists or Ultra Marines.

Either way should I be working towards a Gladius Strike Force?

I have no problem dropping about $500 USD on models + paints and will be going to the shop tomorrow where there is normally a 10-15% off everything GW deal but my friend said if I bought some bulk (even some of the second hand) they would give me a much better deal.

I have already played five games using my friends Dark Angels so I like the feel of a space marine. Also tried Astra Militarum, Necrons and Orks so I know Space Marines is the route I want to go.

I've only played 10 games total.

So should Betrayal at Calth, 3 rhinos, a box of assaults and devastators marines be good or should I get more specialized units.

Can I use the Contemptor Dreadnaught as a regular one or are they disproportional?
>>
>>47711895
Not really. Most Saints are declared after death, not before. According to Lexicanum there are only 4 who've earned that distinction:

>Saint Anais
>Saint Celestine
>Saint Sabbat
>Joaqhuine Desdemondra[3]
>>
>>47711903

No. Really, you shouldn't be working towards anything specific when starting out. The best way to learn the game is to play it with what you've got, and add to your army as you find things that your forces struggle wit.h ("Hmm, I didn't really have anything which could deal with that land raider in the last game, what could I add that would deal with this problem?")

She wasn't declared a "Living Saint" by the combined decree of the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition.

>>47711968
Lexicanum is probably one of the best references for obscure 40k stuff like this. So yes, those are the only four named right now. If there are others they haven't been named. It's also REALLY RARE by the very fluff behind the Living Saints since both the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy need to sit down and agree that the person is infact a Saint.

Not really. Just means we have a few.

if all this becomes true will Deldar become top tier and the price of their minis skyrocket?

Because I been finding a decent amount of dark eldar deals but I ignore them since everyone says they're shit, should I buy before they become OP?
>>
>>47711909
Honestly I'd just start off with either:
Betrayal at Calth
-or-
Start Collecting: Space Marines

If you go Calth, running everything as is, base is over a 1000pts with three Special Weapons (no Grav-guns) and three Heavy Bolters / Missile Launchers.

Factoring in upgrades you can get a pretty 1250pt force. I'd build and paint that first because that should be plenty.

What's happened with fantasy is exactly why GW would make it so that chaos loses this, if it is the second part of the black crusade. They can't afford another disater like the end times and AoS. Rountree isn't kirby, he's not dumb enough to do an age of the emperor type thing.
If they have chaos lose, they can advance certain parts of the settings without having to turn the setting into one big story that ends with chaos destroying everything. It would be a win win for both GW and the playerbase. Well, except for people like carnac who are convinced chaos will win no matter what.

You can use a contemptor in normal games, just use it's rules from the angels of death book, which you should get.
I recommend another box of assault marines. A 10 man units is much better than a 5 man.
You know how to play, so from there just build your army up the way you want but make sure to include the right tools for the battle.
>>
>>47712707
I dunno, I almost prefer they don't advance the story than turn Abaddon/Chaos into even more of a jobber than they already are. Chaos already has few enough fluff victories and Abaddon's already kind of a laughing stock because of how shittily they handle him.

To be fair Magnus DID destroy the possibility for SW to have successors and replenish their numbers faster, I mean the fuckers dont follow the codex and after 10k years they are still only 2000 marines as opposed to tens of thousands. It was a bit of a pyrrhic victory for both.

What would be considered a sergeant head? The Captain in the BA Battleforce came with 3 choices so I (now regrettably) used the one with the helmet. The Sergeant had its own unique helmet but I wanted to use a head, considered using one of the Captain heads but something felt off about having a Sergeant with 3-4 centuries of experience under his belt. I wanted to at least have one guy not wearing a helmet but I keep confusing him with the Sergeant and confusing my Sergeant with my Captain. Before I paint these things I'm going to have to do some soul searching I guess, see what I really want to do.

Because there's no 1+ armor save and melta wrecks vehicles regardless so people just say either AP3 to mention that they can pierce power armor or AP2 to mention that they can pierce 2+ save.

Notice how when people talk about marines they always say AP2 and AP3, never AP1, despite the fact that AP1 can also pierce marine saves.

We had people try to implement ITC at our store (non gw) and so it would have killed off the guy who had a night army painted as Power Ranger knights.

They nerfed invisibility a long time ago; I assume banning the free upgrade Marine happened because it's new, and simple to leave out.

Right. Making as few adjustments to the ruleset as possible for a tournament-friendly ruleset is bad for the hobby. He started LVO and BAO from nothing. Just networking with like minded players, and then organizing and managing some of the biggest tournaments in the world. And also keeping track/publishing points standings for 150+ players playing ITC sanctioned events in NA.

Id say he's been pretty good for the hobby, and GW owes him a debt of gratitude for breathing life into the NA tournament scene. Not to mention he's one of the friendliest people you'll meet in the hobby/industry.

No one forces anyone to play ITC rules. It's for tournament play. Using them outside of that is the players choice. You just sound bitter and spiteful hating on the guy; theres literally no negative impact at all on you.

They should add comp rules to ITC to lower score for playing easy and unfun lists.

"But comp is dumb and subjective."

No it's not, we all know the very obvious shitlists like scatbikes and grav company. You should be penalized by a small margin if your list is literally just khan bike 6x3 bikes 2 grav 1 combi grav.

This way people bringing more unique lists and doing just as well are rewarded for their harder efforts.

Before people go "tournaments should be about playing to win", no, they're about fun, and some lists just aren't fun, so they should be penalized. "Some people find these lists/playing super tryhards and barely winning fun" isn't an argument either, that's like saying rape and murder is okay because SOMEBODY's enjoying it.

While I have a feeling these lists aren't actively working against event popularity, everyone not on the top tables sure as hell don't enjoy auto-losing round 1 then only having fun in the bottom tables with other fluffy unoptimized lists.

Tournaments have not worked hard enough to reign in GW's ridiculousness. They've nerfed power levels by maybe 15% when GW has increased power creep and power levels over 200% from past editions, no exaggeration.

>>
>>47714971

So is custom nerfing. How exactly do they come to the conclusion that the re-roll on Invisibility should be a certain number and *just so*? What if they nerf some powers too hard and some not enough? It's simpler to just remove them all.

But then you might turn into Smogon who went from banning only a handful of legendary Pokemon to now having dozens of banned Pokemon, many of whom aren't even legendaries. But I will say that Smogon metagames are much healthier than 40k's.
>>
>>47715008
>Before people go "tournaments should be about playing to win
even if that is true, you can still argue for comp lists.
The rules are open knowledge before the tournament, so you can play to win within the confines of those rules the same way you do with all other rules.

That argument has basically no worth against having comp rules, even leaving out a premise about tournaments being for fun.
>>
>>47715008
The problem that I see with comp is that it doesn't really do anything to reign in the top codexes and that it doesn't make games against power builds any more fun. I'd rather see minor rebalancing of the rules on some of the more over the top stuff as well as point cost increases for certain stuff.

I'm pretty sure that's not simple at all, and would throw off a lot of the game.

Idk about 'custom nerfing'. And they artive at changes by putting it to vote for Frontline members. Anyone can join. Though as ITC becomes more popular and known, Im sure the voting process will have to come to an end.

If half of you guys would take the time to familiarize yourself with the subject..
>>
>>47715118

Sorry meant re-roll on screamerstar. Modifying a rule will always be more biased than simply removing it, because that's exactly what it is: inserting your own personal opinion (or in this case, the community's opinion) on how you think the rule should work.

Also the voting system is flawed due to smurf votes and also the fact that we're offered a false dilemma. There are options besides the two that FLG presents in the poll, but we must choose between two options that they present, even if there is a third or more options.
>>
>>47715163

I've known about the ITC for longer than you have. My point was how do they arrive at the options they provide you to vote on. There are certain changes they make that aren't a simple yes or no question. There are as many as 8+ options (d6 + no nerf + ban) and they only ever provide 2 or 3.

that's completely untrue.
Even in the invisibility case, making so it causes shots to be at BS1 does less to weaken the power of the telepathy disicpline than removing invisibility entirely would.

> inserting your own personal opinion (or in this case, the community's opinion) on how you think the rule should work.
completely removing a rule is also inserting your personal opinion, the only difference is saying the rules should exist, instead of saying the rule should be this.

The Eldar were added to Eternal Crusade just a few moments ago. I got to test out a few matches.
I gotta say that I am pleasantly surprised. Though obviously work in progress, the Eldar still manage to feel vastly different from the Marines, as they should. The Shuriken catapults have insane rate of fire, (though a bit inaccurate), and the Eldar are very quick in their movements in general.
Right now, there are just Dire Avengers, Dark Reapers (who can wield either Reaper Launchers, or Shuriken Cannons), Fire Dragons, Striking Scorpions, and Warlocks in the game, so the balance is a bit lopsided against the Eldar. When the Swooping Hawks, and Banshees are added, you'd think that the Eldar would fare a bit better.

Didn't get to test out their vehicles yet.

All of these armies should be brought down, because they are in an odd spot of being frustrating to play against, even among themselves. Tau vs Tau and Marine vs Marine, or literally any of the above mentioned armies in any combination, are just SHIT to play with or against, baring specific lists that go out of their way (read: excludes huge parts of their codex) to not be conplete cancer to play against.

And for the armies not listed? Find an opponent whose army is not on this list. Don't even fucking bother. Not because you can't win, but because the game wont be fun.

It's only good if you want to make a Dark Angel, Chaos Space Marine, or some kind of combined force of the two (Fallen Dark Angels warband).

If you're willing to ignore the obvious Chaos and Dark Angel markings, the models are good to build any sort of human or marine army. Basic marines aren't good per se, but they are required for many builds and are always a player favorite, and the human Cultists can be used as renegades, Imperial Guard, etc. Bikes are good units and Terminators while not great are popular and most marine players have some in their collections just for the sake of having them.

If you really want to get a strong start on the game and want to play marines, a smarter move might be Betrayal at Calth, or going on eBay and picking up some Betrayal at Calth models or a bunch of Dark Vengeance bikes and building a bike army.

The $50 voucher makes the box appealing but only if you can actually use the whole box, rather than just half the contents. Dark Vengeance is an inferior box to the previous starter set, Assault on Black Reach.

>>
>>47717231
Dark Vengeance is half Dark Angels and half Chaos. Most people split it with a friend. If you don't have one, you're getting a good deal on the Angel half, but then paying a bunch of money for an army you didn't want.

Currently the best value is the Start Collecting! boxes, although the Space Marines box is pretty meager savings, the others are all great deals. If you're only going DAngels for the cost, and not because you really want that army, consider a Start Collecting! instead.

The starter paint set probably not really worthwhile. Your best bet is to go into the painting guide for the army you pick (see the OP), and see which colors it needs, then grab those. Don't fall for elementary school finger painting memes, you can't make every possible color just by mixing yellow, blue, and red paint, which is why the paint set is kind of useless. It's nice to have those colors, but it's not going to be the "core" colors of your army.

It never looks consistent, unless you're already a veteran modeler and put in the effort. A rookie or lazy modeler is just going to have an army that looks like he smashed two armies together... because he did.

They should've modeled the DC Chaos as fallen angels, but alas
