Until the local TO banned the Klawstompa, I had a list of Zhadsnark, Klawstompa and Traktors. Unfortunately, the TO complained to ITC enough for them to remove their tentative approval. Now I'm getting people to try to flood the ITC questions box with the Klawstompa to try to get it ITC approved. In the meantime, I would be able to switch to Buzzgob, but that stompa won't be as effective as Da Knight Flinga.

Since people in the last thread seemed to think orks could put up a fight in the current meta, would anyone be able to either improve my list or post a 'good' one?

It's hilarious to always see people finding out just how fucked this latest codex has left Orks.

The amount of times I have to explain to people that 'melee units' like ork boyz are s3 i2 is baffling.

It's sad watching them get their asses beat by crisis suits.

Local tau player assumed that they were s4 i4 and I was just forgetting when I (rarely) got to charge.

>>48185939
In a tournament environment with a 3 hour time limit, it doesn't work. then, the Green Tide is in legal limbo/hell, and it doesn't do well against superheavies/gargantuans. Sure, I won't get tabled, but I won't win ever. then, in a casual environment, no-one would play me knowing it would be boring as shit.

Technically it's still the case in the Space 0Din dex. If I get the charge I'm still winning the melee. Even better if the Orkbro dares to kill my warlord(Going to be DARLING), and gives my whole army hatred everything.

I already asked this a couple of nights ago, but I'll ask again for additional input. What are some of the better marine chapters, either mechanically or fluffily, to coordinate closely with Steel Legion? Answers I got earlier were Raptors, Mentors, and Salamanders. Anything else to consider?

Isn't HH incompatible with 40k?

>>48186215
Not that anon but what I absolutely love on the disparity between craftworlders and DE is the bikes, windriders are just guardians in bikes and get a 3+ instead of their 5+, while the DE bikes are 6+ because fuck you your chassis won't save you even through are basically the same species.

>>48186261
it's compatible. it's just far weaker.

However, many TO's don't allow it, because many TOs are retards.

>>48186215
If anything, my buds will let me run them as Corsairs if they end up getting crushed too often. And I won't slap Scatterlasers everywhere, I'll make it fluffy. We have a group with every army being represented by someone.

>>48186261
Horus Heresy armies have a conversion to 40k. Just not in tournaments, because tournaments are really fucking retarded oldfags that still bitch about imperial armour. 30k armies are substantially weaker than 40k armies, but here's the gist of it.

> Loyalists > Armies of the Imperium
> Traitors > Forces of Chaos
> No unbound allowed under any circumstances

>>48186280
FAQ says that you can't fire full ballistic skill out of a Transport that jinked. Meaning Dark Eldar can't do the thing that Dark Eldar are best at in fluff, it's total bullshit

>>48186335
I also play Grey Knights. "First to the Fray", but we can't charge from Deepstrike so it's "First to the Fray* (*Terms and conditions apply)". It's sucks being a jack of all trades, master of none.

>>48186332
>>48186296

I know GW has greenlit FW stuff for play with other 40k stuff, but have they done the same for HH?

>>48186335
Yes I love it, GW just keeps kicking my poor dark eldar while they lie unconscious on the ground.

>>48186391
Okay, let's set this out of the way right now. Forgeworld IS games workshop. Forgeworld and GW have the same address, the same email servers, the same office building, the same copyrights, and even completely identical websites. All forgeworld books have Games Workshop copyrights written on them, with the games workshop logo clearly printed on the spine of every forgeworld book, as well as being printed in large face on pages 1, 2, 3, and the final page. In addition, all of the forgeworld books have games workshop's copyright information written in them.

Okay. Done. Now we have that important information out of the way.

Forgeworld themselves have gone out and said that you can use the "Age of Darkness" content in 40k, with the caveat that you cannot ever use unbound. That's pretty much it.

There is also the difference between Horus Heresy and Imperial Armour. Imperial Armour books are those explicitly designed to be essentially expansions to other GW codexes. Each games workshop army has a corresponding Imperial Armour book that provides rules for using older models from the rogue trader fluff and books in 40k.

>>48186248
Oh, cool. There were different capitalization & mechanics differences among the several documents I used to copy & paste in, & I did minimal editing. Any marking you do that I can spot easily I can fix.

I taught English, & will ignore the comma splice in your post in hopes that you caught stuff I was too lazy to fix.

>>48186391

No, because HH isn't 40K, and no matter how much you retards try to say it is, it isn't and will never be. That's why Betrayal of Calth isn't 40K, and GW had to release an entire dataslate just to allow you to use the plastic Contemptor in 40K. You don't need them to say you can use it though as it's 99% compatible. FW addressed the 1% incompatibility in their original FAQ.

To be fair, I couldn't bring my Monstergirl Operators to tournaments anyway, given that they're only going to be 20% - 50% GW plastic, well below the 70% GW plastic generally required.

What do you think about this little guy? people say is a good unit...

>>48187104
With an Inquisitor and enough shuffled Administratum paperwork, anything's possible.

>>48186604
Primaris is a 24" S6 AP3 Blast, which is OK since it hits 36% rather than 33.

'Eadbanger is nothing more than a toughness test to take a wound sans saves, 24".

Warpath gives the unit +1 Atk.

Da Jump is DS, but if you roll doubles on scatter, /they fucking snapshoot/, & it's still only Space Marines who can assault out of DS.

Killbolt is WC2 for an 18" S10 AP2 Beam.

Power Vomit is Template S7 AP2.

Da Krunch is 24" S2D6 AP4 Large Blast Barrage, shoot another if you roll 10+.

The spells are on a T4 W2 6+ platform whose survivability cannot be improved except by sticking him in a unit with a Painboy.

All the Witchfires are Assault 1, which is OK, but Weirdboys have no access to equipment, & have the same weakness as other psykers in that they may roll powers completely worthless for the unit they're in, & for ML2 cost 5 points more than a fucking Librarian w/ access to literally about 3x the disciplines.

>>48187089
Absolutely. They are super stickers about such things.
>suffer not the alien, the mutant, the heretic
Monster girls like that are an extreme divergence and no biologis would give the thumbs up for abhuman status no matter how stable the mutation. Any change from the humanoid (2 arms, 2 legs, 1 body, 1 head) is automatic MUTANT status.

>>48187135
No, not really.
A radical inquisitor may carry them around as his own forces but would have to keep it hush-hush or he would be in for a purging for using mutants as anything more than slave-labor in a time of desperation.

>>48187144
Well, seems Tau is the only way to go

>>48187161
Yeah, but if he could prove they were abhumans (and if there was a large enough amount of them to justify it through evidence of stable breeding), then the mutant restriction wouldn't apply and he could get them into the IG as auxiliary corps.

Even if he couldn't PROVE their abhuman-ness he could always assassinate/blackmail/bribe enough dudes to fudge the numbers and the paperwork to make it happen.

>>48187164
Mecha Shas'Obama dude. It's really a matter of a metal tyrant made of every zog off battlesuit ruling over you or a bunch of weebs ruling over you until the former is born.

>>48187144
But wouldn't they gain abhuman status if they could prove to breed true?

>>48187164

No way, what a colossal waste.

>>48187019
Emphasis is mostly on them being tacticool operators, for the exact same reason I play raptors. Chaos doesn't do too well with sneeky operators who go around in camo cloaks and never once uttering a warcry.

The justification for this is that it's led by a Rogue Trader known only as Darling. He owns a small trading empire that specializes in buying catgirls from planets that have catgirls, and selling them to rich nobles that don't have catgirl waifus. The whole army is his personal collection of various abhumans(Read: Monstergirls), that are outfitted in power armour. They're trained in special operations, with an emphasis on performing hostile takovers.

>>48187169
Ogryns are abhuman. They maintain the divine human form and breed true. Even then they are used as auxiliaries and most commanders and guardsmen don't use them because they don't see them as humans.

Just like rattlings

Centaurs do not maintain the human form
>mutant
Lamias do not maintain the human form
>mutant
Harpies do not maintain the human form
>mutant
Even the ones that have humanoid shape would go on to genetic review. If:
They do not have enough percentile of the human genome present
>mutant
They do not breed true
>mutant
Physical forms differ from generation to generation
>mutant

Do what you want man, have fun but is indeed lore breaking to have them as loyal imperium soldiers supported by the munitorum

>>48187208
Too deviated physically to qualify. Have to have human body shape from the get go in order to even consider looking at other traits.

>>48187213

I like you Anon, keep being awesome and never let anyone take that away from you.

>>48187213
Rogue trader shenanigans are all good. Just don't roll 'em around imperial space willy-nilly or the =][= will come knocking.

>>48186983
EYYY
Are you running Iron hands with landraider spearhead or something?
God I've wanted to run a strike force ultra with iron hands but its so expensive

>>48187244
What could be a cool way to play it WITHIN the lore would be "renegade loyalist" ab-mutant-humans. There's certain marine chapters that are like this. Basically, the Imperium doesn't like them for some reason (in this case, being mutants), so they pull Legion of the Damned style shit where they drop in, kill a bunch of baddies and save the Imperial forces.

Then they leave while the Imperium is still confused as to why they were aided and before they get purged.


>>48187278
>impling the =][= doesn't want catgirl waifus

>>48187278

Would an Inquisitor even dare to antagonize someone with a paper signed by the Emperor himself?

>>48187292
>catgirl waifus
Sure some radical or corrupt ones would but a puritanical? Hell no.

I'm all for catgirl waifus but the inquisition tends to be the most extreme end of attitudes in 40k. Their are many inquisitors who would purge all space marines for being mutants if they could.

>>48187060

>Then, you have 2 CCW, giving +1

I thought Forge World released something after than in the 6th edition clarifying that Titan Close Combat weapons got 3 attacks and were AP1?

I remember there being a document that stated that.

>>48187341
>implying the puritanical attitude isn't just a cover for their shadier tastes and hidden abhuman harem

>>48187306
Only the oldest Rogue Trader dynasties have those, the vast majority of Warrants were handed out after the Heresy.

And it only grants that power to "act as if you carried the voice of the Emperor" beyond imperial space. An inquisitor is going to give him some discretion but if you bring xenos, mutants, and any other big no-nos into imperial space and flaunt it around they will intercede, violently if necessary.

File: 80s40k.jpg (72KB, 631x708px) Image search: [Google]

72KB, 631x708px

>>48187306
If there was enough justification for it. I'm sure plenty of puritanical inquisitors would throw a huge bitchfit and start slamming their face against the exterminatus buttons if they encountered a battle-barge full of centaurs or lamias.

>>48187341
> Space marines are mutants
You should take note that space marines aren't actually mutants. All of their modifications are implanted organs, which require an extremely-pure host in the first place. You could setup a sort of "Human genetic scanner" in the style of prototype, and it would ping seemingly normal humans more often than it would actual space marines.

>>48187390

So as long as our Rogue Trader stay away from the imperial space he can do whatever he wants and the Inquisition can just look with hate and tears?

>>48187143
Doesn't seem too bad. I'm more about using pyskers to buff units and in a support role but it seems that GW did this because they want orks to have an offensive play style.

>>48187341
Inquisition consists of Puritans & Radicals; the Puritans are as described, but Radicals are "maintain the Imperium, literally no holds barred."

There's nothing a radical Inquisitor wouldn't do to further their goal of protecting & prolonging the Imperium, up to, including, & far beyond cat girl waifus.

Honestly, Ratlings are just little people+, & Ogryns are football players+. They don't diverge much from the normal human phenotype: feathers, claws, fur, wings, fangs, prehensile tails, spider webs for cum, caustic teardrops: these are a pretty far fucking cry from acceptable unless an Ecclesiarchal bigwig or Inquisitor speaks for them.

>>48187405
>space marines aren't mutants
I know this but some components of the inquisition do see them as such, as does the ecclesiarchy and some of SoB covenants. In the case of the church they still spout out about them being angels but the movers and shakers don't like astartes for several reasons, transhumanism being one of them.

>>48187367
that 'document' was how the rules worked prior to 2013. Ever since 4 years ago, it has worked like it does now.

>>48187423
Yep. Unless they have a reason to believe the Rogue Traders actions are a threat to the Imperium. But flying around fighting sit with a mutant army typically isn't a qualifier.

>>48187444
Yes?
Are you arguing with me or agreeing with me?

>>48187482
He's qualifiying what you're saying. You mentioned both sides of the Inquisition but seemed to imply that only the super puritan side was relevant.

>>48187482

Whatever man, I bet the Emperor would bone a cute catgirl in a heartbeart.

>>48187450

When did they change it then and what document trumps the one forgeworld released back in 6th?

>>48187442
Fair enough; most powers don't rely on BS.

But rather than make a new model, they removed Old Zogwart & re-hashed the SAG Big Mek.

I guess I could just run a ton of CADs with ObSec Grots & WeirdBoyz with 10 Boyz as ablative wounds (165 pts. per), but that's a far fucking cry from Terminator Librarians for a fraction of the price who can literally change the tablescape to assault Turn 1.

>>48187491
Gotcha.
Just saying puritanical (ie the ones typically not on the list of "may have to purge soon") are not going to be running around okaying mutant waifu armies.

Radicals sure, they will do whatever they believe necessary. But that does put them at odds with the IoM should they go too far.

>>48187542

I love how one half of the Inquisition would burn the other half and viceversa.

>>48187523
But still especially against armies like Tau it is very effective to have a pyschic presence on the table. It's their main weakness in TT and while hey it might be the most points efficient model compared to librarians sometimes having some shit on the table to give you a slightly better chance is worth it.

No, tau's main weakness is not having a counter to stuff like actually useful psychic powers. Invisibility, Perfect Timing, Endurance. All of these are powers that tau players will sit here and say, "Yep, this is going to fuck my army over, and there's nothing I can do about it". Orks have acess to none of those powers.

I cant for the life of me understand how im supposed to do this

Stop expecting pro work out of a novice painter. Paint to the best of your ability, spend time on it.

Am I going insane or is there really just no point cost for equipping wargear to crisis suits in the tau 7th edition codex? I've been staring at this thing for hours and I have not seen a single line that indicates how much each weapon/system costs to add.

>>48187691
And then there is the branch that does secret stuff, and then the branch that does nothing but monitor the branch that does the secret stuff. AND THEN there are the time travel police, best inquisitorial branch.

Any experienced Guard player got any advice on painting and what units to get?

>>48189131
For painting, follow the gospel of our lord and savior Duncan, his youtube videos are great. For units, it depends on what kind of Guard army you want, for a balanced army you are going to want 3-4 infantry squads, about 3 command squads (1 for company command, 2 for platoon command), a couple leman Russ' and a Wyvern or two. Optional extras are things like Chimeras to make your shit more survivable, Scions for surgical strikes and sentinels for some mobile firepower.

>>48189174
I'm looking for an army with quite a variety of infantry units. As far as I'm aware you can combine Astra Militarum with Militarum Tempestus?

Currently looking at how to use my Krieg army, and I was looking at the assault brigade in IA:12 and the Seige of Vraks. Are these books still legal in 40k play as they are quite old and I want to use the most up to date?

>>48189194
Well you can ally them with Tempestus yes, but most of the units in Tempestus are also in the main Guard Codex, with the exception being the Prime variant of the Taurox. I prefer to get my Scions from within the Guard Codex but I can see the appeal of a separate detachment for doing Steel Rain with.

Thats great news!

Stupid question but what does a competitive dark eldar list look like.

Why are GW pushing flying nids on me? What if I want a horde army with lots of stabbing and carnifexes

>>48189343
That shows all of the contents of the Start Collecting! boxes ranked as to how good the units are compared to the rest of the Codex (In the DE codex the Raider is king of kings but would be shit in nearly every other codex) Orks would love that shit, fragile, which they are used to, but fast and actually capable of getting them places The Guard box is a damn good deal with the only iffy part being the Commissar, but a psuedo fearless guard squad that gets a 4+ cover save from the formation is pretty good.formation

>>48189384
One caveat I will add is that when used in the Guard codex they have to use Guard orders, not the orders in the Tempestus codex, but I've never seen that as a downside.

In which imperial armour book can I find the stuff for Orks?

>>48189448
IA8

There is no 2nd edition, yet (which I'm not sure if I want, Korvydae a best as he is)

>>48189327
Not gonna lie, if it was a well-written fandex for kroot mercenaries or umbra and he had the models to match i'd fight it in a heartbeat.

Too bad that'll never happen.

>>48189699

Going by the ratings for the Necrons start collecting, it means that the guy ranking these units is a moron.

A table some intrepid fanboy made-up that pretends that a product's RRP determines its value. [The more you pay, the more it's worth!]

The upshot is, you're going to pay full price if you're interested in saving money. I'm serious - that's what it says: The RRPs of the good (blue) units listed are invariably less than 50 quid, but you owe it to GW to waste the difference on ineffective units that no one buys cos, see, that "free shit" is "a deal."

Anyway, as I said it isn't valid anymore. If your opponent is fine with using it sure go ahead, but it along with Dreadmob was indisputably made for another codex and another version of the game (see can't use big guns vs mek gun argument some people try to use), and as such isn't valid unless prior agreement is made.

Example, I use Squiggoths because my opponents don't mind (plus they're shit)

>Some guy at my GW told to me to get a Gorkanaut
To be fair he played fantasy only but what the fuck

>>48191123

GW advertises some stupid WAAC "game breaker" boxes of units that are supposed to be cheesy. One of these is the hilarious "Gorkanaut + Ork boyz will destroy your opponents!" box, but boyz in a Gorkanaut can't fire their weapons, so it doesn't work how they say it does. The guy who wrote the ad straight up lies about how good the units are and uses hilarious language about how you'll destroy everyone, but actually Orks are total shit and basically GW are faggots.

Please forgive my misspellings, I don't play Orks and I'm too lazy to google which units end in Z or S.

>>48191123
GW decided that rather than write rules for new units that would make people want to buy them, they would withhold Super-heavy rules for the Orkanauts.

Writers at White Dwarf jumped on the giant stompy-looking machines, lauding them as ultra-durable & killy THE PERFECT UNIT despite costing almost as much as a Wraithknight but almost literally always losing to one--salt in the wound. They were and are equally fucking delusional about the effectiveness of Nobz, since their writing implied Nobz were absolute murder machines SIX ORKS CAN DO A LOT OF DAMAGE.

Then GW released another shit-eating bundle of NOBZ IN A 'NAUT, still operating under the delusion that either were effective. Lemon juice and piss, meet already-salted wound.

Fuck, another ten years is un-goddamned-acceptable to wait for a book not cobbled together by drooling know-nothing retards just to have fun with the army.

>SIX ORKS CAN DO A LOT OF DAMAGE.

Big Choppas are a hidden gem but that Ap5 is so crippling.

If it was AP4 it would be an auto take instead of the PK, which is largely redundant on anything not a Warboss with Luckky Stikk.

S7 is nothing to scoff at.

I can actually sort of see this applying to supplements with the "wrong name" (and also coincidentally demolishing the mek gun/big gun argument) sine GW said the Iyanden supplement is still usable with the newer Craftworlds codex.

On the other hand GW said in a different FAQ that since Codex: BA is not the same as Codex: SM, you don't get to take better units that were updated in the SM 'dex if you play BA, unless specifically Errata'd (Scouts and 'naughts). So really GW is, despite at least trying, still completely unable to be consistent.

Sigmar it but actually try and keep depth to the game.

>>48191838
Because you are forced to take them to play a legal army.

That's tax, shit you don't want but without the system breaks down.
(Deep innit?)

>>48191834
You can ask the top tier armies to tone down their lists, you can't ask the bottom tier players to stop being such shit.

The whole point of sigmar is it has no depth and is thus really easy to get in to.

Pykers. Get a divination primaris pysker (or ten). Roll your pyschic powers and hope for forewarning because then you can get 4+ invulns on everything . Even leman russ. That or take Azrael with a blob squad.

>>48191769
I2 don't mean shit if they've got the shooting game. And even if they don't, it's still S4, T4 & a 3+ save for 8 points.

Nids are a very good foil for Tau and other top tier factions. Because most Tau players spam battlesuits out of the ass and trying to do that against a melee army will get them fucke. Just try tying down there mobile units with your guants till your monstrous creatures can enter melee. That or spam pyschic powers till every fucking monstrous creature is invisible.

>>48190972
Tyranids are a very effective assault army. I know because I've played 2000 point games every week with my friend who brings gaunt swarms and hormagaunts will tear you apart in melee. I bring DA btw tho it's greenwing.

/tg/ I spent around 12 hours painting every piece of my dark eldar raider before gluing it on.

At the stage of putting the mast and sail on the entire model simply snapped as I put too much pressure on trying to glue it.

It didn't look great and was my first ever vehicle but I put loads of effort into it and now I'm sad as hell that it all just went to pieces in front of me. One of the side panels snapped in two and the main bit underneath the boat buckled and snapped.

Anyone else ever fucked up and become really sad? I just wanted a cool model but I fucking suck at this.

For context for people who don't browse /hhg/ there're some World Eater players on /hhg/ who believe they can take chainaxes for free when the book and Forge World say they can only replace them for free on units that already have close combat weapons.

I agree with B
Its ok to balance everything up
honestly it will just make a game faster

the only problem is a greater contrast between weak and strong units
which is problematic for a model making company

heres a random

>>48192099
I'm confused as to why you need to apply pressure when gluing on the mast and sail.

>>48192155

It fits into small holes in the hull. Needs to be pushed in.

>>48192121
Techincally speaking, the exact wording is that they must have "acess to a chainsword" in order to take them for free. Which is, of course, a horrible way to word it.

Not that I care. My suzies already have far superior axes, so if and when forgeworld ever bothers to clarify it, it won't matter to me either way.

>>48192170

dude if you're losing to tyranids in melee
you need to get good, cause thats inexcuseable
Gaunts are insanely shitty and overcosted

>>48192035
Tyranids have no access to invisibility or any melee units worth a fuck besides mawlocs
Tyranids aren't good against tau because of the sheer number of shots tau has and skyfire
Tyranids have flyrants and crones or lictors and mawlocs
their cc is bullshit

>>48192191
Trying but because of where the side panel split it just won't sit right.

Just fucking depressing how badly I managed to fuck this up.

Was new to the hobby and this makes me want to give up. Feels bad man.

>Gaunts are insanely shitty and overcosted
Not him, but both gants are okay-ish units hands down the best troops Tyranids have, which isn't that high praise and I wouldn't call them over costed. Though I'll give you that their biomorphs are too expensive to be a worth the investment

>>48192359
Fuck metal, fuck resin, if it's not plastic it's not worth it, or should be converted.
Nurgle marines, fuck my life, so good models all resin garbage

>>48192376
Good resin > plastic

>>48192376
Nurgle Marines are dead easy with some Green Stuff as long as you take your time to do a good job.

>>48192386
I disagree. Mostly because I don't want models that can melt or will shatter if knocked over.

>>48192386
The magical sort that bonds completely, doesn't snap at will or goes limp at first sunlight?

It's called plastic.

You could probably pin it pretty easily.

I don't even know. I gripped the sides of the ship and pushed down into it to slot the mast part into the holes in the base and then just... snap.

The owrding is incinsistent, and so are FW email responses. hell, the one in this thread is full of typos and grammar errors.

In one interpretation, chainaxes are not free for tacticals, but the same wording would make BA pay 30 points for a melta pistol or hand flamer, as they have the same wording, but with plasma pistols.

The other interpretation is that a chainaxe is free and that hand flamers/melta pistols are 15 points.

It's a moot point anyways, since ap4 in 30k doesn't do squat.

>>48191454
Forgeworld actually had a pretty balanced game going, so they decided to make OP Imperial Army and Mechanicum armies to fuck everything up.

>>48192406
>>48192413
Under normal circumstances the resin won't melt or go limp, if it has happen to you then you're to blame for treating your models badly.
Plastic is nice, but I find resin to be easier to work with and heat bending allows me to repose limbs and such without needing to chop the parts. Plastic is better for vehicles though

>>48189265
Dark Eldorks, Imperial Guard, Skitarii, Tau, and Tyranid boxes are good because you're going to end up using a decent amount of the stuff from those boxes anyway.

Why do people never talk about Necrons? Do people find them to just be a good but boring army to play?

I love my murder bots...

>>48192325
>xenofags butthurt their armies can't play the superior game

>>48192600
Mechanicum got nerfed and they're actually quite balanced now. Can't speak for Solar Auxilia, literally no one on the face of the Earth plays them.

>>48192762
Sure whatever you say, I'm just glads we have a containment game for all the fans of oiled up marine on marine wrestling, saves us from having to be around them when they stroke one anothers fluff.

>>48192743
Because for the most part there isn't much lore to talk about that hasn't already been beat to death, and the actual army itself boils down to "stand in a gunline like it's the 1700's and never die"?
That said, as crons are one of my two main armies, I would love another necron campaign or something.

>>48192743
Their gimmick is falling down, getting up again and a lot instances of the number 4 and 4+ effects.

They are the oatmeal army.

What army do you play anon?
Let me guess: tau or perhaps your goin to use the get out of jail free card of "I play orks“
You do realize that 30k caters to basically the vast majority of the player base, right?
All flavors of marines, including the chaos kind, IG, renegades and heretics, SoB, Cult Mech and skitarii, dark mech, knights, titans, etc. the number of players and armies who 30k doesn't cater to, and who isn't affected by the lore of 30k, is far outweighed by those who it does affect and does cater to. By an extremely large margin.

But please, continue to act like a retard for (You)s

>>48192800
yeah i guess. but the thing is, the most powerful units are the really mobile ones, like Wraiths and Destroyers. So either you have a static turtling army, or a fast and uber-powerful one.
it's unfortunate that you don't have as many modeling opportunities with Necrons as with other armies. which is good to have csm i guess.

>>48192886
I think it's fucking hilarious how much better 30k is for chaos than 40k.

>>48192927
>How are Orks get out of jail free?
Because as of late, alot of people will stir up shit, complaining about some army, or the lore, the usual shitposting. It used to be that whenever someone was doing this, they turned out to play a top teir army (ussually tau), and as soon as that was revealed people stopped replying, because those armies have no room to complain.

Recently they've started to claim that they play orks, so as to avoid the aforementioned situation.

>>48192347
Except if you keep them in cover i think it's the Mawloc who comes out of the ground with the Ap2 large blast marker pops up and eviscerates your whole squad. It's happened a lot. Because my opponent brings swarms and he also has the monstrous creatures that produce termaguants so you either get tied down fighting gaunts till his monsters arrive in melee or you get killed by deepstrike.

Yeah, but that's a lot of models to kill. Sure, a space marine squad can wipe out 5-10 guys per turn, but there's 400+ just standing right behind them. Really the only thing that can kill this is tons of assault units, but it's doubtful anyone not tailoring their list to fight this would have enough to do the job.
