THIS THREAD HAS BEEND FORTIFIED!

is Coteaz still top tier cheese on most tourneys as an ally?

>>47745067
Not really. Only 2+ armor, no invuln, ML 2 psyker for 100 points. Meh overall.

>>47745067
Well if the local meta is "All the drop pods all the time" then yeah. But if that's what you are running up against then anything up to and including using your regulation hammer is acceptable.

It's like the tau is having vietnam-style flashbacks to that time they went to the chicken planet.

Oops, missed the new thread while double checking to make sure I'm not retarded. Where can I find this Inquisitor? It's not a GW or FW sculpt as far as I can tell, but it doesn't make sense to use it to show scale if it's a custom one-off.

How would you make a list against a 1000p Tau list that only has drones. No tanks, no fire warrios, no suits, just drones of every flavour

The rules are e-book only.

>>47745181

>>47739845
1) Lack of identity.

CSM aren't meant to be direct analogues of SM; Cool. Except their equipment and units are way too close to SM with all the nice shiny toys gone. CSM can only have 2 special weapons for some reason, Havocs can only have four heavy weapons, because reasons. All of their equipment is identical to loyalist stuff except for the Reaper Autocannon, but they don't get grav, or teleport homers, or drop pods, or w/e: All the good bits of loyalist equipment. What's more, none of the Chaos-specific stuff is terribly good. Each type of daemon engine has some pretty glaring problems; Possessed are no different than assault marines that traded their grenades and jump packs for a daemon save and S5, Land Raiders are the shittiest varient, etc.

2) Lack of special rules making them boring. Chaos' sole special rule is Champions of Chaos, a rule that is, at best, fluffy but doesn't ever effect the game because nothing ever gets something useful out of a challenge. Marks are a poor replacement for chapter tactics to begin with (Like half the legions aren't god-specific), and stat-line changes are boring. That's ignoring the fact that like two and a half of the marks are garbage, as are two of the icons. VOTLW is neat, but it shouldn't be an upgrade, and doesn't exactly represent veteran CSM the way it's supposed to since it's most expensive for the guys who should, logically, be more likely to be veterans.

((Inb4 someone posts the stupid 'CSM should have chapter master statlines' meme))

3) Points inefficiencies, and inability to get redundancies. Lots of shit in the codex is a lot more expensive than it should be, the codex has real problems with hitting all the bases you need a list to it. Fast assault troops? Objective grabbers? Really only found in fast attack. AP2? Heavy Support or super-expensive chosen.

4. Garbage formations. This one should be self explanatory.

How do I stop this? It's getting to the point where I don't want to play with him anymore because all he does is bitch.

Tell me about your dudes /tg/. Who are they? What is their name? What have they done? What are their achievements and accomplishments, as well as their backstory?
alternatively, if you haven't got around to naming and fluffing your dudes, post about their achievements in past games and perhaps we can help fluff them out. God knows it would a better use of space and time than a great portion of last general

>>47746095
idk. I've lost to orks twice. Granted I've only played four games and lost 3....

It's done at the end of movement, so the former.

>>47746095
>How do I stop this? It's getting to the point where I don't want to play with him anymore because all he does is bitch
Remind him that you told him from the start that orks are shit, and as such he really shouldn't complain. He knew the risks. You might want to try and convince him to start a second army that he could use as his main one instead of orks (though that would depend upon financial situations, not everyone has the money to have more than one army, and very few can start a new one and begin with a large force), allowing him to relegate his orks to something played only in fluffy and for fun games

The Surian Desert Dogs. Formed out of a Tallarn regiment that was merged with a local PDF force, they're experts in lightning mechanised strikes, guerrilla warfare, and desert survival.

They've been fighting a guerrilla war against an Alpha Legion-backed cult, and were expecting to be reinforced by the Ultramarines, but the Ultramarines took the view that they've been hiding on a chaos infested planet for far too long to be uncorrupt. Now they're fighting for survival against both the chaos and Ultramarine forces.

Necron players, I keep seeing these itty bitty Scarabs about, not the ones that come with the Warriors but these little tiny ones, where are they from?

They also were subject to a horrible defeat at the hands of an Eldar Farseer and his jet bike swarm

Going all out and buying 2 units of 3 wyverns because a Stalins organ style guard army sounds great at 2.5k. My necron playing friend is telling me they'll only do 2 wounds against his immortals (all 6 firing). I'm not good at math hammer at all but this seems out by a very wide margin. Could someone confirm my suspicions and maybe give me some correct calculations?

>>47746114
I play Storm Wardens because I like their color scheme and I'm not creative enough to come up with my own (I like to write but color is my weakness).

Clearly you haven't played a PS 2 game in a while, seeing how PS 2 couldn't hope to render that sort of graphics.

>>47746291

>>47746830

>>47746859
IIRC it wasn't even an assault marine ripping and tearing with a chainsword and with a jet engine strapped to his back, it was a tactical of the sneaky beaky chapter being sneaky.

>>47746854
>For the most part melee units are mostly irrelevant now with how good most shooty armies are.
So orks are shit now ? Too bad

>>47746830
No idea, yet. My money's on "Characters within 12'' of the Helbrute can reroll chaos rewards".

>>47746904
Everyone agrees that Orks, CSM, and Tyranids are the 3 worst armies in the game right now. They are there for many different reasons, but melee being bad effects every army and the game as a whole.

A waac player will always beat a casual player no matter the faction. I've seen waac ork players beat up casual Eldar players. Winning at Warhammer 40k is 90 percent list and 10 percent roll off for forst turn.

>>47746886
Nah, I'm thinking of a different piece, though that's just as bad.

>>47746926

>>47746966

What about the space marines ? It was the army I played before stopping around 2010

>>47746859
>>47746886

It's a scene from Blades of Damocles where a young Commander Farsight and Tau are fighting off the Ultramarines 8th Company and Hammers of Dorn.

Farsight confronts the Apothecary at gunpoint to learn why he is risking his life to drill holes in his fallen comrades, and his shoulder plasma automatically tracks and guns down a Tactical Marine that charged at him to save the Apothecary.

>>47746987

It just sucks that our army is just meh, useless if you dont go grav out of your ass and assaulting shit sucks, it reminds me back in 5th where if you didnt bring at least 5-10 Cyclone launchers you were fucked.

>>47746991
Space marines are top tier, up with Eldar.

The biggest 'that guy' who is also a waacfag also players Space marines with conclave on bikes, grave cents, and a unkillable HQ on bike with invisibility.

>>47746991
vary between mediocre and extremely powerful depending on army build

unless you rely on monobuild formations and psychic spam, marines are at best "good"

if you play with similarly casual folks, all armies have at least some kind of chance.

>>47746948
Black Templars now have canonically only around 1300 members. Crusader squads can't be used in place of Tactical Squads, etc.

But since they're Sapce Marines, they're still better than half the codices in the game.

The Hammers of Dorn had always followed the Codex Astartes to the letter, but in this case, conventional planetfall tactics had turned out to be ill-advised. This was a massacre, nothing less.

Apothecary Antaloch edged over to a fallen battle-brother. The dying warrior had a hole in his chest that Antaloch could fit his fist through. Releasing the armour’s cuirass, he plunged his reductor deep into his comrade’s neck. A thick churning sound grumbled under the roar of battle as Antaloch extracted the progenoid glands and stowed them with the dozens of others he had flasked thus far. The Apothecary was intoning the last rites when there was a crack of impact; a xenos warsuit thumped down in front of Antaloch and pressed the muzzle of its energy rifle to his helmet. The Apothecary froze. The alien assassin filled his vision, statuesque and lethal. The figure would have dwarfed a Terminator.

‘It is unclear,’ stated the giant in stilted Imperial Gothic, its hidden speakers uncannily like a real voice. ‘You must know this one does not live, ministrator-medic-equivalent.’

‘Aye,’ growled Antaloch, ‘and yet his due must be given.’

‘Despite the likelihood of sustaining lethal damage yourself.’

‘Just so,’ said the Apothecary. He fought the urge to cover the precious geneseed flasks. A moment of stillness passed.

‘Your stance is defensive, yet not indicative of self-preservation,’ stated the warsuit. Before he could reply, bolter shells detonated between the giant’s jump engines. Its shoulder-mounted blaster whirred around, obliterating the Space Marine running in behind it. Its energy rifle never moved from Antaloch’s helm.

‘A theory. During the death ritual, you recover a substance and/or information code that your warrior caste deems vital.’

Antaloch stared up at the towering figure, but said nothing.

>>47747072
‘Interesting,’ said the xenos giant. ‘Proceed then, by all means.’ Raising its rifle in a brief salute, the battlesuit boosted up into the skies on twin tongues of flame.

Blinking in disbelief, the Apothecary voxed, ‘Captain Rumann? When this is over, we need to talk.’

Targets a single friendly unit within 24". The unit gains Move Through Cover and Ignores Cover. In addition, the unit does not even need line of sight to fire on an enemy unit, as long as they are in weapons range

Its 5 Guardsmen though, not 10.

What's a _fun way to equip my Slaaneshi Lord, /tg/? The most useful option looks like a power fist, maybe with a claw if I want to sink some points into him (and an excuse to model him bare-fisted) but that doesn't really make much use of his great initiative. But a power sword seems so dull.

I gathered my Sapce Marines figurines. I had about 70-80 Space marines : 40 tactical marines (6 of them are not assembled), 10 devastator, 10 scouts (five melee, five normal), 5 assault, 5 terminator, an normal archivist, a chaplain with reactors on his back, the supermarine captain of the 2nd company (can't remember his name), a rhino, a vindicator, a whirlwing and a few other figurines.
I used to play casual games with my folks (they played orks and necrons) so I mainly bought figurines because they looked good, not because they were espacially effective.
Can I gather a decent army around 1500points among this figurines with the new rules ?

I wouldnt hold my breath on anything changing. Except new and exciting ways for GW to shoot themselves in the foot. He's been in charge over a year now. It's more of the same. Lip service facebook and discount bundles are shiny and all, but it doesnt mean jack shit. If any significant change was coming, the past 3-4 months of releases wouldnt have been utter trash. And pumping a new Deathwatch codex into the cancerous system that is 40k doesnt inspire hope.

Keep dreaming anon. GW is rotten at its core; the sickness permeates everything. The only way we'll ever see 40k as a 'good' game, is if a different company takes control.

You cant just create your own reality to support the view you want to be true. If he had a hand in stuff that came out in January, he had a hand in stuff that came out in May. I get that you are hopeful and want to believe positive change is coming, but cherry picking examples that supports your wishful thinking, while lying to yourself about examples that dont- come on bro.

>>47747430
It's a lot harder than you think for a CEO to implement changes to a company. Internal culture is a powerful thing, especially when things seem to be going well.

It's easy to mandate discount bundles. It's harder to implement changes on a constantly rolling, expensive and time-consuming creative process. The models alone begin design and production a long time before they ever hit the stores. Plus there's tie-in novels, long-term plans etc. All these things cost money to produce, and any changes cost money to implement, and all of it needs to make money when they launch.

These processes start years in advance of their release, so it may still be a long time before we see any creative input from Rountree filter into the product.

The issues with that lie in the CSM codex itself. Sure the formations aren't great, but the supplement isn't bad because of anything rountree has done, it's bad mostly because CSM are just shit.
>>Ghazgull
The over all problem with the orks is that nobody on the design team has a passion for them, nobody fights for them as it were, and as such the design team isn't really sure what to do with them, which is why the ork stuff suffers. Not because of rountree's actions
>>the new idiotic waac-catering bundles
One of which is with orks, one is terminators and land raiders. Neither of those are catered to WAAC. Sure they market them as powerful things to crush your opponent, but what should they do, say "this bundle is shit and you'll get curb stomped if you play it". Because that's smart marketing

>>47747430
Anon, you do realize rules and models take time, right?
Like alot of time. Work on the dark eldar dex began back in 5th or early 6th IIRC. It took something like 7 years. Granted a huge part of that was because it wasn't the main focus of GW, but still, it takes a while for stuff that is the focus to be made. A lot of this stuff probably began under kirby or very early into rountree's tenure.

>>47747648
Don't run Riptides. If you MUST, only use one. Ever. Avoid the ion accelerator.

Do not use Buffmander. If you like the look of BCs, good because they are not overpowered and you can spam them if you like.

Avoid spamming plasma. Consider running MP Crisis over Broadsides and run Broadsides with rail rifles instead. Use fusion blasters in moderation.

Don't minmax your Crisis teams. Each squad should have three, minimum. If you feel the need to especially handicap yourself, mix the roles of the squad members (hard mode: don't give them target locks).

That about covers it off the top of my head. You could also avoid markerlights or at least use so few of them that you really have to play very smart to get a lot of use out of them. I do all of this and people seem to be okay fighting against me in my casual meta.

That makes me wonder if Abaddon is getting his money, slaves and plunder's worth in warmachines.

Model wise? They need a new, generic plastic Chaos Space Marine kit, new cult marine kits (especially for the non-Berzkerers), and a whole gaggle of new character models.

Rule wise? They need some sort of legion/warband tactics, they need across the board unit buffs or cost reductions, and they need GW to stop pairing shit with crippling downsides.

No, no. I wont argue that the CSM codex isnt a steaming pile of shit, but thats not the problem with BL/CS.

The formations in those supplements were released right alongside AoD. Take a look at the difference in the formation bonuses. The lack of effort, creativity, or just giving a fuck at all is plain to see in BL/CS formations. Not a single one of them is good. Compare the Sorcerer formation to the Libby Enclave. It's baffling that they put it to print.

formations can be all over the place. Even within AoD, you get wtf stupid powerful and meh.

Been looking at Mont'ka because I'm starting with IG, and man, so close but so far.

The detachment could be great if they shaved 1 from every number greater than 2 in the requirements for the core choices. It that close to making the IG seem like something actually good.

On a related note, still think that a Deldar could be fixed with a powerful enough supplement with detachments and such, but it would have to be really good.

>>47748421
I have to disagree.
While some of them are causing lots of problems, that can be said of most things in the game. There are problem psykic powers, problem monsterous creatures, problem weapon options, etc etc.

Formations open up a design space that allows for interesting and potentially flavorful options, and is a way to create rules and feel for subfactions without having to give each one there own codex, which would clearly be overkill for many of them.

Formations don't really do anything to foster a waac mentality, the waac mentality seeks to abuse every aspect of the game to their end, they use formations simply because they are another aspect of the game.

>all the time
you don't have to use formations all the time.
If you are using the same ones all the time, that's because you're restricting yourself to only taking what you see as the most powerful.

if there were no formations, and you wanted to only take the most powerful options, you'd still take the same units all the time.

There has been a flaw in the execution of this design element in that some formations are massively more powerful than other options, but that's an execution flaw and that can happen with anything, and has. It's not a problem with the concept of formations.

Silver Guard are nowhere near as pimpin as the Auric Patricians.

3rd to 7th crew here. Just played a few more 1k matches to get back into things. I now learn that Tyhpus is a motherfucker and nurgle rot is no fun for Guardsmen. Also Weapon Virus on overwatch is a fucking bitch. I need to seriously invest a few points in Relic Plating

>>47748592
Example of a good formation:
>Jump Pack Captain
>3-5 Units of Assault Marines or Assault Terminators
>Units from this formation may Deep Strike at the start of any friendly game turn. They may Assault on the turn they enter the battlefield, but if they do so, overwatch shots are taken against them at full BS for that turn.

Example of a bad formation:
>6 Wraithknights
>Units from this formation may choose to fire their weapons as a 5" Large Blast or Template with the same statline.

I underestimated his stonk bulk and he solo'd a 20 strong infantry platoon with two missile launchers, an attatched Commisar, and two turns of First Rank Second Rank. Weapon Virus + that first turn of Rank Fire cost me a sergeant and 6 lasguns on that turn alone.

Explain something to me about the Iron Warriors lads.

So there are multiple Warsmiths operating Grand Companies on Medrengard, but how many Iron Warriors are there in a typical grand company and how many Warsmiths and Grand companies are there, and how many Iron Warriors are there? And how do the Grand Companies work? Do they consider themselves just Iron Warriors or does each separate company consider themselves Iron Warriors: Warband whatever the the fuck

>>47748513
If GW was competent and responsible in the way the implemented formations I'd agree. But when there are so many formations that are 'take 3 Riptides' or 'take 6 Vindicators' - theres nothing fluffy about it. They may stumble upon a fluff relevant formation, or attach a fluffy name to the formation - but its pretty clear what theyre doing.

As for waac players abusing formations and everything else they can - I agree. The problem is that formations and their bonuses are a new addition to the waac toolkit. The absurdly powerful bonuses a handful of armies can gain through formations -is breaking the game. It's causing vets to leave, casual players to leave, thematic players to leave.. but attracting retards. So thats bad.

Of course yo. Had a fun ass tank duel where my two battle russes failed to so much as scratch his las pred after they vaporized both his Marine squads and I managed to take down his demon prince with aforementioned platoon plus plasma vet squad one action away from charging either one of them. He actually won from VP seeing as he tabled my Autocannon team and one Russ before I could completely wipe out one of his troops choices. Cant wait till next time when he swaps in his Plague Zombies we just assembeled out of leftover catachan parts I had lying around!

>That model that you bought and assembled, fully planning to use in your army and then changed your mind

What model is it, lads?

Lascannon Centurions for me.

>>47749528

>>47749854
They have lascannons and while my group doesn't care about WYSIWYG, I personally hate when my models don't actually reflect their loadouts.

As I said, c'est la vie, it's not the end of the world, I just won't buy anything for a month or two. By then my meta may shift again (we play every week so it's possible) in a way that makes them useful.

I want to see the Tempestus Scions one. It says you can replace losses during the battle. Which I would imagine come form the Taurox. Now all we need is some clown pained/themed Scions spilling endlessly out of clow car/Taurox.

My guess is it'll be reinforcements that can be dropped in if the commissar is alive.

>So there are multiple Warsmiths operating Grand Companies on Medrengard,

> but how many Iron Warriors are there in a typical grand company and how many Warsmiths and Grand companies are there, and how many Iron Warriors are there?

Given how things tend to fluctuate, none of that is known.

For instance, a Warsmith may find his Grand Company doubled and enlarged in size when he defeats a rival.

> And how do the Grand Companies work?

They are the assembled Chaos Space Marines, Cultists, Slave Fodder, Warmachines and other elements a Warsmith has at his command, including their warship if one is in his possession.

Supposedly each Grand Company is similar to a Space Marine Chapter ( in that they are divided into smaller Companies) with the Warsmith presiding over the Grand Company in a similar manner as a Space Marine Chapter Master.

> Do they consider themselves just Iron Warriors or does each separate company consider themselves Iron Warriors: Warband whatever the the fuck

They are mostly divided up into different factions such as the Steel Brethren (kicked off of Mendrengard during a violent conflict instigated by Peturabo to cull his legion of what he perceived as weak elements) and the Sons of the Forge (the amalgamated remnants of several Iron Warrior factions defeated by Darnath Lysander).

>>47749918
>Park Taurox somewhere the enemy can't see it
>Endless stream of Scions coming out to die like creeps in Dota
I'm down.

>>47749973
Most of the formations are centered around the hero in the box.

I also have a hunch that the formation will require a command squad, with the taurox acting as some kind of command vehicle.

>>47749993
Even better if you park behind a wall that's just short enough that the hull isn't visible but the turret can see over

LC/ML Centurions are playable. It's just...why would you use them over GC/HB? I guess they'd be kinda shitty if you have no psykers and your opponent is maximum cheese, but for normal games they should do okay.

I didn't give them grav because grav makes me feel bad for my friends. I've known these guys since kindergarten and now that we're all getting close to our 30s, I don't want to cause arguments over our plastic men.

I dunno, I probably over-thought it.

I'll keep them around and use them when I feel like it but I definitely won't build a list with them in mind.

Honestly, you're better off with either Plasma Guns or HSVGs (and 4 HSVG's in a Command Squad is fucking brutal when placed in cover). Flamers can be spammed by other units, especially if you're using them as Guard auxiliaries.

>>47750222
Oh, no, I play Marines, and I have a very heavy focus on plasma. I was planning to use the Scions as suicide squads that would jump out of their trucks and melt the fucking blobs everyone in my group loves to use.

Nah, cant really see it that well in the pic. It's Citadel Warpstone Glow on Citadel Loren Forest. Still have a bit of work to do but theyre almost there.

>>47750244
Ah okay.

In that case, I'd still go HSVG's, but flamers are more than adequate. They'll cook things and ignore armor like none other. They're especially mean against SoB, as they're AP3 and Wound on a 4+ (not so great against Marines, though, as they only wound on a 5+).

I play CSM and spam Flamers/Noise Marines, so take that for what you will.

>>47750151
I only use them in HoR Kill Team. You get 4 free special weapons if you take 10 Scions. Standard 40k they are obscenely expensive to kit out.

>>47750151
a command squad with four flamers can melt blobs, especially since they can give themselves twin-linked

>>47750283
Alright cool, thanks lad.

>>47750300
Never played that, the guys I play with are quite fond of large games (2k points is what they're trying to get me to move up to).

So since I'm rolling Blood Angels, what books would be the best to read to really understand them and help me produce better lore for games? Are there any books that are just good to read in general for Space Marines?

There's a lot more Scions players than I imagined.

War Convo lost a little bit of punch w/o drop pods, but yeah that stuff is no fun. All I can tolerate right now is 200-500 points. I doubt formations are going away though, so Im not sure what I'll end up doing with my armies.

I'd post pics of mine but they're all packed up on the other side of the house. Maybe tomorrow. I love the paint scheme that GW uses for them (the one on the box) and I did my best to copy it (not amazing paint job but decent). I also pained my knight to match. That I do have pics of.

I dont think scions are that great with their S3 weapons (and only 18 range) T3, but damn it I love the models so much that I have like 45 of them.

then the cancer is GWs inability to write competent rules.
Anything GW makes can be a new edition to the waac toolkit. The only way they can avoid that is by being better at writing rules, or to make nothing.

blaming formations, as a general thing and not the individual formations that are a problem, is stupid.

I feel like running a knight + the air cavalry formation would be a dirty thing to do

Dunno how many points that would be but I figure it would be around 1850
