Alright boys, what are you working on this time around? Got any good models in the works? A paint job you're especially proud of, perhaps a WIP that looks particularly badass? Or are you gearing up for a game, got a list working through your head? Maybe something big, or something small?

>>49268754
Sculpting right now, my Chronos engine. Took a carnifex claw, sculpted over all the chitin plates, and threw on all the tentacles around the body. Put a pink horror head on upside down on the front, and green stuffed it into place, and now I'm putting on some Pink Horror arms gripping a guardsman, with a big needle coming out of his mouth, into his neck. Will take pics later.

Man, I love the Command Squad models.

I hate how they're the only sprue that comes with all the special weapons though.

Also, what would be a good color to replace the red cuffs/inside on a Caledor Sky blue uniform?

Try a light grey, maybe? Agreed wholeheartedly on the special weapons thing. For my last squad of infantry I grabbed three command squads just so I'd have enough melta for the rest of my army.

Ebay also works, but I've got a plan to make objective markers out of the flags and other assorted junk in the command sprues as well.

>>49269064
Eh, I just like to give everyone Flamers. The Command Squad has the only Heavy Flamer model though, which is annoying.

Good idea on the objective marker thing though!

Yeah, I was thinking a light grey, or maybe even Ulthuan, but then I'd just be reusing the color I use on my aquilas, though I doubt I'd actually have a problem with that. Plus I have no highlight color for it either.

Hot shit, the new Blood Angels formations look pretty good. I'm excited, this should be interesting

>adjusted wargear
>assault marines not shown with meltagun

The rulebook isn't clear on this so I'd figure I'd ask here before I assemble the models.

I've got two squads of ten Skitarii Rangers, does the Ranger Prime get to take a Galvanic Rifle or am I forced to do the typical CCW+Pistol combo?

I'd like to just have squads of quick and long ranged snipey fuckers, and if the prime can't take a rifle it makes things a bit of a pain in the ass since that's 1/10th of the planned fire gone.

The composition is all galvanic rifles and one transeuranic arquebus. I'm taking them as allies for another army.

Putting together my Dark Eldar finally. Why did GW decide to split the molds so that the fucking spikes were right down the center. Every fucking spikey bit runs through a mold line.

>>49269026
Is that actually viable? I feel like if you manage to wipe out even a few squads of fire warriors before the berserkers are mowed down it still won't make back the investment in raiders.

>>49268962
Both look solid, I'd probably go with Interceptors over Paladins though. They hit just as hard and a lot faster, which is what you need.

>>49268937
Step 1: Make sure your opponent isn't a complete assclown

Step 2: Put plenty of terrain down on the table - especially LOS blocking terrain

Step 3: Move as fast as physically possible

Step 4: Rip and Tear

Step 1 is mainly so you can be reasonably confident they aren't going to cheat and make up rules. I don't know what it is but Tau players have a tendency to 'forget' what rules their models have or somehow misinterpret how those rules work.

I've had one guy claim that jet pack moves are 4d6" base, the Riptide's nova reactor automatically activates, and another guy try and get away with the Stormsurge having BS 5 base.

I say this as a Tau player - never assume the rules they're telling you are correct unless you know the person.

Things needed to make 40k more diverse and make it appeal to a broader audience:

>Drop Slaanesh - it's offensive to lgbt-people. Alternatively, make slaanesh more gray/morally questionable rather than outright evil.
>Introduce female space marines.
>Guard models should be at least 50:50 male/female.
>More focus on the role women and non-binary people in the 40k lore/books, especially the HH series. Maybe make one or two primachs canonically trans, it's ok if they are all kept biologically male then.
>Make the emperor more brown. He comes from the middle east - make it explicit, so that people don't assume he is another white male.
>Malcador should be a woman.
>Change the lore so that Horus rebels because he racist/sexist and he doesn't like the progressive changes the emperor is introducing.
>Cut out the lore about genocide of aliens and non-compliant humans by loyalist imperial forces. Good guys don't do such things.

Here's an 1850 MSU list I've been tweaking for Black Crusade. C&C?

==Black Crusade Detachment==
=Chaos Warband=
Note: Everything in this detachment has Veterans of the Long War for free (thanks to detachment bonuses), and Obsec (thanks to formation bonuses).
Chaos Lord w/ Mark of Nurgle, Bike, Power Axe, Sigil of Corruption, Boon of Mutation - 150
Chaos Sorcerer w/ Bike, Force Staff,ML2, Spell Familiar, Boon o fMutation - 130

=Spawn Auxiliary=
2 Spawn w/ Mark of Nurgle: 72 points
2 Spawn w/ Mark of Nurgle: 72 points

==Allied Daemon Detachment==
=HQ=
Blue Scribes - 81

=Troops=
Pink Horrors - 90

Total Points: 1850

The Lord joins one Spawn unit, while the Sorcerer joins the other unit. They serve as "Keep aways" against small anti-tank teams (versus big deathstars on the other hand...it will take some effort). Dealing with stuff like the Barkbarkstar will be admittedly tricky.

Horrors roll on Malefic, getting both the Psychic Focus & Chaos Psychic Focus (thanks DraftFAQ), Blue Scribes rolls on Malefic table while using Turbo-boosts to hide behind the Rhino Wall, and the Sorcerer rolls on whatever discipline is most effective for the mission (usually Telepathy)

Man, I wish GW would make a Tyranids vs. Imperial Guard box already. The only thing I want.

It'd be an excuse for them to replace both of their sculpts on them as well and hopefully finally update the basic guardsmen and gaunt models.

And give me an excuse to start up some Tyranids. Maybe make a diorama or something. That'd be cool.

I think the biggest problem with 40k's balance is that GW's design team don't ever seem to understand the value of mobility and speed. This was true in WFB, too, but it was mitigated somewhat due to the rank-and-file nature of the game (even the fastest army was constrained by needing to navigate in formation) and the relative weakness of shooting (except for bullshit sniper cannons but that's just a demonstration of this larger point).

I think GW's designers just don't get that, assuming an equal points cost, a model that can routinely outrange its competitor is always going to be better than one that can stand up to getting shot at. Being out of range of your foe is infinitely better than being in range but able to mitigate damage.

Now that's not bad. That's reality for you. Real-life armies don't try to run up to each other and whack one another with swords anymore. Any combat at touching distances is by its nature going to be very lethal to everyone involved.

And it's not bad to have one or more factions in your game be based around this modern principle of outranging your enemy and hopefully destroying them without ever giving them the chance to fight back. But you have to apply an appopriate cost to those factions, and you have to give their opponents some ability to stand up to their shooting if you want to make it a fair game.

40k obviously takes a lot of cues from Dune, and in Dune the change to close-range warfare was necessitated by the development of virtually impregnable personal shields (and when those shields were taken away in the open desert on Arrakis, the Fremen were able to just blow their enemies apart from afar).

So, in other words, the current problems with the game would be solved by either greatly increasing the cost of troops for shooty, mobile armies like Tau and Eldar, or else by greatly increasing the efficacy of armor.

But I don't think that GW actually realizes that they have a problem with their game, so I dunno.

>>49269612
Probably because this is the only update/supplement BA are going to receive in this Black Crusade thing, but Chaos are likely going to receive quite a few - probably one for each god in addition to this Black Legion list.

That's a lot of content and they have to make sure it's all consistent with itself, so keeping the actual unit modifications to a minimum makes sense.

Also, another thing I am contemplating:

If I downgrade the Bikers to Flamers, and drop the Gifts of Mutation, I can give each Biker a 4th biker, and run them as cover-flushers. For opportune moments, a Tank Shock here or there.

>>49270053
The best thing about 40k is that there are no good guys. Everyone is evil in their own way.

>>49270131
That's a good question. Sisters have some mobility due to having access to Razorbacks, but their shooting in itself isn't great (doesn't outrange like Tau or offer the ability to Rend through everything like Eldar), and they're paying too much for having armor, because armor itself is overcosted at this point.

Compare them to Tempestus, which have the advantage of Deep Strike everywhere they want, access to Plasma (so good, strong shooting at a reasonable range), and aren't paying for 3+ armor saves. MT aren't amazing, but they're better-off than Sisters because they have those advantages.

Eldar have relatively short-ranged guns, too, but their mobility is so great that they can take advantage of cover and LOS more easily, and their shooting is just stronger than what Sisters can bring.

It's a combination of factors.

>>49270220
people will buy orks anyway so they don't give a fuck

>>49269984
I read about it working in one of these threads, I don't actually play Tau or CSM myself.

But as soon as you get out of those land raiders you should do your best to get in assault and stay in assault every round until dead. It's the best protection from shooting there is.

>>49270239
To continue on this for a second, in order to be better, Sisters would be faced with the same issues as every other army right now: They'd need either to be paying less for armor, to be getting more out of that armor, or they'd need a significant upgrade in mobility/shooty firepower.

Sure, but then many of the Blood Angels' greatest (but costliest, and somewhat shameful) victories came when most of the Chapter succumbed to the Flaw and went nuts.

And DC are presumably basically immune to chaos influence, being in the throws of death and rather busy with experiencing Sanguinius's last moments. And they've got enough wits about them to follow their Chaplains, and the Chaplains can be told "hey go here and do this for the Emperor and Sanguinius etc. etc." so it's not like Dante would lose the ability to lead his men.

Still yeah it would make sense for Chaos to believe it was a good idea. They're dumb. They follow Chaos, after all.

>>49270509

could probably solve this issue if cover, overwatch and random charges didn't make assaulting a hunkered down opponent so fucking difficult.

Plus even if you do wipe a unit in combat that just leaves you a sitting duck the next turn. Allow sweeping advances into other units to put you into a new combat.

I think less for their armor would be a good place to start. 3+/6++ is great, but T3 means a lot more rolled saves than Marines.

SoB have a similar but unique play style to Marines. Currently, the meta for them is Cheap melta Razorbacks, and before that it was Rhinos. Even when vehicles were screaming metal death traps, Sisters played the parking lot, but they could also March on foot without much trouble.

They're particularly fast, they're not particularly shooty, and outside of a few units, they're not particularly stabby either. They're also not a hoard army, but not quite an elite army. They're more akin to an elite hoard army. They can put enough on the table that killing one isn't enough because there's more behind it, but killing them all is difficult. One small squad has the firepower of a Marine squad, but they have the ability to combine arms where Marines can't.

Bought the starter box of Dark Eldar to make a kill team list. Never played as or against them before, but they seem cool/fun enough.

I'm trying to work on a World Eaters themed army using the Khorne Daemonkin codex.

As an aside, can anyone explain to me fluff reasons why Khorne Daemonkin bring things like defilers, x-fiends, helldrakes and soulgrinders but can't field a warpsmith?

>>49270743
>fluff reasons

Is GW not caring enough to proofread fluffy?

>>49270548
Pretty sure he's still there isn't he? He Co owns mwg.

>>49270761

>>49270743
Aren't Warpsmiths Chaos-corrupted Iron Warrior Warsmiths that other Iron Warriors look down on?

>>49270555
I think that's a fair assessment. They have some of the same playstyle as Marines, but they don't have access to many of the things that makes Marines great right now (namely grav weapons out the ass). You can leverage their advantages (vehicle killing) to make something kind of mediocre, but ultimately they just don't have a lot going for them right now, and plenty of problems.

>>49270743

>defilers, x-fiends, helldrakes and soulgrinders

In the lore, smithing is one of Khorne's many domains.

Also, they could just barter for those among the numerous Daemonic forge worlds that exist.

The lore even mentions one devoted to Khorne.

I haven't read anything about them being specifically Iron Warrior related, just that they are associated with the Dark Mechanicus.

It's not like they can't take a mark of Khorne in the CSM codex, so why can't they be part of a KDK warband? Sure, you can ally, but then they don't get BFTBG

That actually looks pretty cool to me. The only schemes I've seen so far were either green that was basically black, or some combos I didn't like. I some white ones that looked cool, but I didn't really want to risk it with the white (I'm not a great painter).

I'm just going with khorne red, nuln oil, and some red/orange highlights. Gonna try to make the raider a little busted and rusty, too.

Should have "Raiders of Comorragh" in there.

played a game last week where I was using a contemptor dreadnought against an opponent's leman russ tank. the kheres assault cannon is strength 6 rending so I was going for 6s to rend the armor. I got two 6s and thought awesome! but then my opponent told me that for both rolls I had to roll a d3 to rend against his armor 14 front,because I needed to make up the difference between 12 to 14...is this some ITC thing or did the guy just fudge the rules because he's a faggot? or am I wrong?

>>49271187
Yep, he's right, you got s6+6 for 12, then rending gives you +d3. Read your rulebook, or download it from the mega

>>49271187
hes right. read the fucking rules

also rends on vehicles are not ap2

>>49271187
Look at the BRB's entry for Rending.

>In either case, against vehicles, each armour penetration roll of 6 allows a further D3 to be rolled, with the result added to the total. These hits are not resolved at AP2, but are instead resolved using the model/weapon’s AP value.

>>49270440

>These two factions have a third faction dedicated to making them work together
>Why are they battle brothers

Oh hey! Someone else who had this idea! I absolutely love the pig-iron helmets for scouts. They work really well too with webbing pouches from Anvil Industries.

Ayy Space 0Din, it occured to me awhile back that the Kustom Mega 'Ammer was essentially just a Thunder Hammer that can kill yourself. For the cost of a thunder hammer. If it's a plasma cannon on a stick, why not add in a short-ranged attack to it as well!

Say something like this. Heck, you could even keep the whole smacking the ground at your own feet with the blast whenever you miss. That makes it hilariously funny

Kustom Mega 'Ammer/Choppa: 35 points

Ranged: 9", S4 AP2 Blast
Melee: Sx2 AP2 Concussive, Unwieldy, Two Handed, Discharga

There you go, that way you can get a Thunder Hammer on an ork, that has the hilarious fun of throwing gibbing balls of plasma everywhere.

Pretty stoked. I know he has three drop pod grey hunters, a wolf star, some long fangs and two drop dreads.

Not sure if I should push the full Ravenwing or bring my Deathwing in as well. 2k points gives me a fair bit to work with.

I wish I had started on my Lions Blade but since I haven't been getting games I stalled on it and still need to get B@C and some Razorbacks (I know that's not the competitive choice but it seems the most fun in my meta).

I was thinking about bringing two or three Biker Libs and using Interromancy on his Death Star. If my fliers were complete I would field those since a Stasis Bomb would be nice to drop on his Death Star.

I went over the list again and it seems to imply that everybody has galvanic rifles by default and you have to buy anything else. I'd appreciate if somebody would tell me whether or not I'm wrong on this though.

Sadly, I don't have the rules for the formations, but I can hazard a guess at what units (and how many) are in 7 out of 9 of the formations we'll be getting.
Take these predictions with a grain of salt the size of your average C:CSM player:

>Chapter Ancients
-Blood Angel Dreadnought of any type (1-3)

>Death Company Strike Force
-Death Company Squad (3-5)
-Death Company Dreadnought (0-3?)
-Death Company Chaplain (0-1) (This guy seems like a new unit added by the supplement)

>Archangels Orbital Intervention Force
-Assault Terminators (2)
-Terminators (1)

>10th Company Ambush Force
-Scout Squad (2-5?)
-Scout Bike Squad (2-3?)

>Golden Host
-Sanguinary Guard (3-5)
-Sanguinor (0-1?)

>Blood Angel Battle Demi-Company
-Tactical Squads (3)
-Furioso Dreadnought (1)
-Devastator Squad (1)
-Assault Squad (1)
-Company Command Squad (1) (Command Squad and a Space Marine Commander, not sure if you can swap out the Commander/Captain with a Chaplain, Librarian, or Sanguinary Priest)

>Archangels Demi-Company
-Vanguard Veteran Squad (1)
-Sternguard Veteran Squad (1)
-Furioso Dreadnoughts (2)

No idea on the last two formations, maybe they're just the Archangels/Blood Angel Demi-Company twice.
No idea.

>>49271941
I like the Blood Angel Upgrade Packs, especially when I get them for free.

Each one is a new Sanguinary Priest for my army, and more pauldrons is never a bad thing.

Besides, the Death Company Strike Force and Chapter Ancients boxes don't even have the upgrade frames and would be a great addition to most new Blood Angel player's armies.

I'm even thinking of picked them or the Company Command box up when I get the supplement, and I already have ~35 Death Company and 6 Dreadnoughts.

>>49270555
Sisters player here. Phone posting so I'll be brief. No razor backs in my dex. Immolators might be comparable but I do not know the razor back stat block. You're pretty on point with most of it. T3 sucks but we're cheap and have good saves. Twenty girl blobs are scary. Fast five girls with plas priests in immolators can be fast and effective as well as survivable in melee if not effective. The army is very responsive and needs careful play. Tau can be a tough match but melta can eat riptides in quantity. Needs allies though. Can break down more as well as q&a in the morning if threads up

Another SoB player here, and yeah. Sisters have issues, but if you cover those problems with allies, they can easily match any mid-tier army.

Bikes vs Jump Packs is a tough comparison.

In terms of offense, it really depends on what weapons you plan on the squad using.

If you plan on using grav-guns or plasma-guns Bikes are the best choice since they give you the Relentless Special Rule, allowing you to fire Salvo weapons (such as grav-guns) as if you never moved (thus granting you more shots at a greater range) and allowing you to charge after firing a Rapid Fire weapon (such as a plasma-gun).

Jump Packs are better suited for short range Assault weapons such as Meltaguns and Template weapons such as Flamers since they give you the Deep Strike Special Rule, allowing you to pop-down right where you need to toast some dudes under your template or pop a Tank/Transport with the bonus you get from the Melta Special Rule.

In terms of defense, Bikes give +1 to your Toughness characteristic and allow you to Jink, giving you a cover save when you need it (at the cost of firing only snap-shots the next turn)

Jump Packs don't do any of that.
The only protection they offer is allowing you to place you guys in Deep Strike Reserve to protect them from getting shot up Turn 1, but Deep Strike has it owns slew of problems and dangers.

Deep Strike aside, Bikes also tend to have the edge in mobility.
They move 12" in the Movement Phase (something non-Raven Guard Jump Packs have to give up their reroll to Charge distance if they want to do), and can Turbo-Boost instead of shooting to go another automatic 12" (Jump Packs only get the standard d6 Run move).

As previously mentioned, Jump Packs do get a reroll to charge distance if they only move 6" in the Movement Phase.
Jump Packs can also jump over buildings/terrain bikes might be forced to go around/through.
This is a very useful ability on terrain-heavy boards.

Lastly, Bikes also tend to cost more than Jump Packs.

Best Bike Chapters:
>White Scars
>Dark Angels (Ravenwing)
>Iron Hands

Best Jump Pack Chapters:
>Raven Guard

Kharn vs an Imperial Knight

>The ground shook with pounding footfalls, and a vox-horn boomed out a binharic war cry. Looking up, the Betrayer saw a red-hulled Knight looming over him, its head tilted down to pin him with its dispassionate stare. The war engine’s roaring chainblade swept down and Khârn hurled himself aside. He rolled to his feet with a manic laugh, sweeping Gorechild up in a thunderous arc.

It's simple, Kharn didn't fucking read the BRB.

>>49272497
S6 Armorbane, but Kharn has Furious Charge, Counter Attack, Rage, and two CC weapons on top of his special 2+ To Hit and his 4 base attacks.

He also has I5 and W7, so the Knight would hit him second and only on 4's.

It'd be close either way.
It all comes down to if Kharn can kill it in a single charge, otherwise he's gonna take the big D and/or get Stomped at the end of combat.

It's irrelevant anyway.
In the same battle he kills a Warhound and a Reaver Battle Titan, both much more impressive and ludicrous feats.

>Another GW box set with savings and great models
At this rate I can just throw all the board tiles from all my board games together and play zone mortalis all day every day at home.

Do you guys paint the inside of vehicles or just glue the doors closed?

I'm building a taurox and am debating whether or not to out the extra time in.

>Khârn looked slowly up from the cloven body of his ambitious would-be murderer. An Imperial Reaver Titan loomed into view above him, footsteps shaking the ground. The engine seemed to fill up the whole world with its enormity. Its shadow engulfed him utterly, throwing a shroud across both Khârn and the maimed Chaplain who still lay in the roadway. The Metalican emblem upon the Reaver’s chest left Khârn in no doubt of its loyalties.

>The Titan raised one tank-sized foot and took a striding step down the street. Khârn leapt back as the war engine’s foot descended, slamming down like a pile driver. The ground buckled beneath the god-machine’s tread, and Khârn was hurled unceremoniously from his feet. He cursed, scrambling upright again amid the billowing dust and unnatural shadow. The Betrayer felt the air pressure contract around him, his ears popping and his armour crawling with corposant as the war engine’s void shields passed over and enveloped him. The Titan hadn’t even registered the foe beneath its feet, its weapons drawing down upon targets in more distant streets. It stung the Betrayer’s martial pride to be treated as an irrelevance, and he howled with anger as he pumped plasma shots up at the thing’s knee joint. This was no Knight, however. The ravening blasts of energy splashed against the Titan’s leg, blackening its paintwork but achieving little else.

>Then the Titan was moving again, swinging its other leg forwards to pass the first. The roadway was barely wide enough for the god machine to progress down it, but that mattered little. Where the Titan’s weapon limbs struck the buildings they simply tore away great chunks of masonry, smashing the buildings aside with the ease of a man parting tall grass. Rubble sluiced down upon Khârn in a landslide as the Titan swept over him.

>>49272619
>>The Betrayer cursed in fury as thundering wreckage and billowing dust engulfed him. He fought against the stony tide, but darkness swallowed him as the rubble closed over his head. Khârn raged. He thrashed. He shattered and clawed until he was free once again. By the time he had dragged himself from the tumbled ruins, both the Titan, and his Chaplain victim, were gone.

>Denied his worthy skull, the Betrayer’s rage was beyond mortal comprehension. A wave of pure fury rolled out from his armoured form, scorching the rubble black, and his deafening war cry shattered those few windows that remained in the street’s battered facades.
Over the rooftops of the ruins around him, Khârn could see the god-like forms of more Imperial Titans moving, wading through the devastation with their weapons tracking right and left. As they sighted his followers, their guns lit with apocalyptic fury, blazing columns of light and fire stabbing downwards to blow buildings apart and scour the streets of Khorne worshippers. There was bloodshed in this, thought Khârn, but not glory. Not the skulls of the Imperial lapdogs. This could not be allowed. The Titans must die.

Do Chimeras come with a Heavy Stubber and/or Storm Bolter pintle weapon on their sprue? Kinda sad that the Leman Russ doesn't.

Same as >>49272547
Forgot to mention Kharn has Hatred due to his Warlord Trait, so he's hitting a 2+ with 7 attacks (4 base, +2 for Rage/Counter-Attack, +1 for two CC weapons) and then rerolling misses.

Still think it'd be unlikely for him to mulch a Knight in a single turn since they have what, 6 Hullpoints and AV13 Front facing?

He probably can LAND at least 6 attacks, hell, he can probably land all 7, but even with Armorbane I think his chances of rolling below a 6 on 2d6 is pretty high, and I don't think the off-chance he gets an Explodes! Result with his AP2 really evens things out much.

>>49272585
If you can't open the doors and see inside, fuck it. (EX: Tuarox)

If you can open the doors but it's too dark to see anything inside, fuck it. (EX: Rhino/Razorback)

If you can open the doors and see everything inside just fine, consider painting it. (EX: Drop Pods)

Painting the inside is a very rare thing for most players I think.

>Khârn fought like a lunatic, exhorting the followers of Khorne to greater heights of violence and spitting scorn upon them where they showed weakness. It was Khârn that led a loping Warhound Titan out into the wreck-scattered square before the eastern forge-temple, and straight into the teeth of a Trinity of Blood. Booming monstrous warcries, the three super-heavy Daemon Engines hammered the Titan with fire from every side, collapsing ts void shields and rolling forwards to hack it apart with vast chain cleavers.

>It was Khârn, also, who scaled the flank of a towering factorum-stack at the head of fifty Khorne Berzerkers and leapt from its heights onto the carapace of an Imperial Reaver as it was moving between engagement zones. The Betrayer hacked his way through the war engine’s armoured hull, leading those few Berzerkers who had survived the strafing of the Titan’s gatling blasters. They butchered the machine’s crew, leaving it looming, cold and dead in the middle of the street.

Why does the Chimera's turret have pics of two HBolters in it when it says it only has one? Is it twin-linked somewhere?

Funny enough, on the tabletop Kharn wouldn't be able to beat the Titans or even the guys guarding the Titans, let alone both at the same time, and three times in a row.

The Chimera can take a Twin-Linked Heavy Bolter as it's turret weapon, at least in certain codexes

It's a really common tactic in Codex: Inquistion to run Chimeras with a Twin-Linked Heavy Bolter on the turret with another one on the hull since you can give both of them +1 Strength for like 5 or 10 points.

>>49272768

>THE SECRET OF AMETHAL

>The adepts of the Adeptus Mechanicus understood the true prize that the Black Legion sought upon Amethal, even if few others did. It was the thing that had brought Technoarcheologist Dominus Ivasnophon and his followers from the forge world of Metalica to this cursed world. It was a power of unbelievable magnitude, though the Imperium and the traitors sought it for very different reasons. Lord Xorphas knew its true nature, for it was he and his cabal who had located it for Abaddon. The Despoiler had set his forces in motion at once. The battle to come would bear upon the success of the Thirteenth Black Crusade, for it offered an opportunity to extend Abaddon’s Crimson Path like a bloody wound across Imperial space.

>The secret that the Black Legion sought, and that the Adeptus Mechanicus were racing them to seize, lay deep beneath the surface of Amethal. It was ancient – unspeakably, unimaginably so. It was a device the size of a world, forged by godlike beings before Terra had even spawned its first single-celled organisms. It was a cage for the infernal creatures of the Warp, a weapon to dwarf the Damnation Cache that had slipped through Abaddon’s fingers on Pandorax. And, according to the divinations of Lord Xorphas and his followers, it was full to the brim. It required only the correct ritual to be broken open, at which point the sudden release of so many Warp entities would tear a gaping wound in reality itself…

Who the hell created this thing and why were they throwing daemons inside of it?

The chimera can have a turret mounted heavy bolter and a hull mounted heavy bolter. The kit comes with two different heavy bolters for this reason.

It is rare to see the turret mounted version though.

>>49272825

>>49272813
>It was ancient – unspeakably, unimaginably so.
>It was a device the size of a world
>It was a cage for the infernal creatures of the Warp
All signs I see point to it being Necron.

I guess it could have been built by the Old Ones or the Pre-Fall Eldar, but I like the idea of it being a cage for the Old Ones/Eldar Gods built by the Necrons during the War in Heaven, a cage that was later captured by the intended targets and repurposed to imprison the C'tans that are still inside it.

It's probably just full o' daemons though since the Blood Angels call in the Grey Knights to help them out with it once they realize what it's full of and that they most likely can't contain them for much longer.

This "wound in reality" is going to allow Horus to skip over Cadia just so that GW doesn't have to squat the Astra Militarum right?

>>49272815
I think the last update it got was a while ago, and even then it may have been a digital only release.

They don't really have much of an army they can field by themselves, probably on par with Officio Assasinorum, but the Inquisitors in the codex are DIRT-CHEAP and can take some crazy wargear options to buff any force they ally with.

Their models are quite old and kinda blow by today's standard, so I'd kitbash one or look around for a third party Inquisitor.

>>49272871
Neat to know.
Also something to mention is that the Inquisition Chimera actually doesn't have Lasgun Arrays on the sides for whatever reason.

It's also cheaper than the ones in Astra Militarum.

is the deathwatch side of deathmasque any good?

I already got a veteran team plus another one I converted some time ago and 5 bikes
I'm really not sure about the venerable dreadnought since >armor12

>>49272815
>Why can't the IG do that?

They can. The twin-linked heavy bolter turret is not part of any codex. It is in the imperial armour one second edition book. As mentioned here >>4927287 the default chimera kit does not come with a twin-linked heavy bolter. It comes with a hull and turret mounted heavy bolter.

> Is it good?

No. You are paying ten points to twin-link the heavy bolter then ten points to make it strength 6. You might as well just use the multilaser for the natural strength 6 and against marines and tanks AP4 means nothing. You will rarely fire both the hull mounted weapon and turret mounted weapon due to movement rules.

Picked this one up myself recently. Probably fits an Interrogator better, seeing as its lacking in gothic ornamentation. Are there any other good options out there?

>>49268754
I was going to paint some mechanicus but I ran out of white primer. Picked some up tonight but probably won't get to finish priming till Monday.

My FLGS is trying to get a Kill team league going, and we've been playing 1000pts games, so I've been bouncing around painting my IG, Black Templar, and Lamenters a squad at a time. It's nice because they're all very different paint schemes and styles so it keeps from getting boring. Once I can prime my skitarii and Orks I'll really have some fun opportunities.

The IG are the most fun though. I've made a composite regiment mixing in a huge variety of troopers from multiple companies and lines, and through using similar colors, unifying themes (the number XIII, common webbing or items like jackets or grenades) and the fact that I went to great pains to ensure that units had a mix of weapons from other units in the same force, its really coming together. For example you'll see a Catachan running around with a Cadian lasgun, then you'll see a Cadian running around with a Victoria Lamb Meltagun, and then you'll see another guy who is almost identical to the Cadian in paint scheme but he has a different uniform cut and armor style with a plasma gun from Mad Robot, and it's just awesome to see them all blend together into this awesome theme. I've not made a huge amount of painting progress past basecoats so far, but once I finish a few more squads its really going to come together.

They are not meta but the closest thing they get to meta is probably Optimised Stealth Cadre which requires 1-3 Ghostkeels. So really, 1 will do. That being said a unit of 3 is probably more optimised since Ghostkeels are the best thing in the Formation and The Wall of Mirrors special rule does not have any effect if your lonely Ghostkeel gets shot off turn 1, because of this 3 might be slightly more optimal.

If you want to win tournaments you should not be brining them at all and if you want to play for fun you should not be thinking too much about how to increase your chance of winning with one of the strongest factions in the game.

>>49270543

>After a few millenia of drugs and rape I'd probably want to go join a craftworld or the harlequins.

Think of it like a heroin addiction but on a spiritual level for all eternity, and on top of that you're unwilling or unable to admit you even have a problem, and even if you did do so you'd probably get assassinated for being weak and face true death anyway.

All this makes it not so simple to just join a craftworld or harlequins.

>>49272994
X-Wing is a smaller scale, and probably better balanced game. It's also probably cheaper to get into to, unless you start buying ships just to get the upgrade cards inside. A typical force is 3-5 ships, each about £10. You can buy the core box and a couple of ships to get started. They're all pre-painted to, and the only assembly required is attaching the ship to the stem that connects to the base. Games take an hour or two, tops.

40k, meanwhile, is a massive moneysink. You're looking at £40 to £65 for a starting box (Kill Team or Dark Vengeance). There's the Start Collecting boxes too, which are £50 but don't come with the base rules. Regardless, you'll then need to put £20 on a codex. Then paints, brushes, a couple of tools, etc. You'll then need to assemble and paint your minis.

I make 40k sound negative, but it's definitely a Hobby with a capital H. Even if you stick to small scale games you're probably looking at a spend of £100 minimum to get going and assemble a starting force. Full size armies cost a whole lot more. If you've got the time, money and inclination then it's good fun, but you probably want to make sure you're up for the modelling and painting component first. A lot of the fun of 40k is having Your Dudes face off against someone else's. On a purely mechanical level it's not as tight and interesting as X-Wing.

40k offers the ability to play games with more miniatures than most other sci-fi miniature games. This higher amount of miniatures also means that getting an army to play the regular amount of points takes lots of time and effort. The effort you need to put into painting and modelling can be outsourced to other companies but that will make the hobby incredibly expensive, on the other hand, you can skip out on the painting side. Some do, which leads to less beautiful armies, others don't and scorn those who take the easy way.

The model quality of most newer kits is really high, but due to the age of the game some kits are old and do not fit the current standard of quality.

The game itself is a little too over-complicated, but still lots of fun. The balance however is unbearable, both internal balance between units in each individual faction and balance between the different factions are horrendous. Unless you find a good community you will more or less be forced to play one of the power factions or just accept a horrible win-rate. The current power factions are Space Marines (in all their incarnations), Eldar and Tau. I will throw in Necrons because they are a really forgiving army that is nice to start with. Some of the really bad factions include Orks, Tyranids and Chaos Space Marines all of which have a tremendous amount of super sucky units, Tyranids do have a competetive build though.

If you do find a nice group the game offers tons of different options for units and their wargear.

>>49273168

You are the worst kind of human being. Die in a fire, you fucking faggot

Good how? Lots of melee weapons, lots of lovely sculpted chapter shoulder pads, but a real lack of special weapons and lol termies, who are they again? We have no termies in this box why should we provide the new DW-specific termie weapon or more than 2 termie shoulder pads?

Anyone?

Anyone know of any solutions I can use to break down plastic bonds? Some of my second hand miniatures are poorly assembled, to the point I'd rather just break them down and scavenge whatever I can.

>>49270131
Sisters of Battle are in great need of a rework. A very clear identity of their own would be nice to see. Right now, they're just worse Space Marines. Perhaps a focus on the fire/ cleansing motif to a greater extent? For example, allowing every Sister in a Battle Sister squad to take Flamers, with one Heavy Flamer and one Melta. This would make them a hard-midrange sort of army, which is unique. You then give them ways of attaining invulnerable saves contingent on Priests/ Ecclsiarchy themed units so ranged forces don't just wreck them easily.

I don't know... I just think all that would be a cool way to differentiate and maybe fix them to an extent.

>>49273999
Plastic glue is pretty tricky. Hot water or, ironically, plastic glue can be used on a weaker bond to help soften the plastic but otherwise you're stuck cutting them apart.

>>49273388
A pdf was posted in the last thread. I think the epub was too.

Also, what's the best reader for epubs? I've grabbed the Deathwatch codex, but all of the text spacing is fucked up in Calibre.

>>49274090
I'll probably just saw the arms off for the special weapons. The price I paid was justified just because of the vehicles anyways so I don't have much to complain about.

Bitch, I'm a faggot with 10k points of Slaanesh Daemons. Stop saying I'm a sensitive snowflake that has to be protected at all costs. And fuck, maybe I WANT to be evil! In fact, that's why I play Dark Eldar too!

Wanna play SM with Dreadnoughts. Any tips for armycollecting? I was thinking Iron Hands chapter tactics, some number of dreadnoughts (a suggestion would be good), an appropriate number of drop pods ... Librarians? Rhinos? I dunno man

>>49274210
Get a Leviathan Siege Dreadnought with dual Storm Cannons. Big fucking beast of a walker with 8 howitzers for arms, pretty badass looking and a nice centerpiece for your army.

I hope you guys are ready for Blood Angels to be the next tier 1 army. Sanguine Council+Archangels Orbital Intervention Force=GG no re.

>>49274478
Yet another reason to avoid "proper" 40k and stick to Kill Team and other skirmish scale variants.

>>49274478
What's insulting is that if it's legit awesome, it's another slap in the face to CSM.

Why aren't you watching the Warhammer Stream, guys? Get to see AoS in action.

https://wwwdottwitchdottv/warhammercommunitytv

>>49274538
This is the 40k general, we aren't interested in Age of Sigmar.

>>49274478
I have no idea what are you talking about. Explain yourself.

>>49274526
The non-disordered charge from deep strike is going to ruffle some feathers.

>>49274555
I am interested in AoS.

>>49274555
Yeah but it's GW doing an officially streamed tournament type thing, and they're doing great. Last one was like 13 years ago they did anything like it.

>>49274587
That's cool, tell me when they're doing one for 40k or 30k.

>>49274560
New Librarian formation. 3+ to harness Sanguine Powers and all librarians share Blessings that target the Psyker specifically. It's going to be crazy with biker Librarian stars and groups of Librarian Dreadnoughts. Archangels get to assault from deep strike or shoot twice if they don't scatter, and they get Objective Secured. Paired with the Descent of Angels ability on the detachment, it's going to pretty radically alter the meta.

>>49274613
Where do you get that information?

>>49274587
Interesting. Not into AoS, but good to see that GW is continuing to embrace the internet.

>>49274210
Iron hands Medusa strikeforce with unlimited 'ancients' axuillary formations .

>>49274628
If they're embracing the internet then maybe they're monitoring the threads.

If a GW employee is reading this: Fix CSM or I'm going to fuck Rowntree's wife. This is a threat.

I painted a Scion to test a colour scheme and I noticed I forgot to highlight the gun. There is always one stupid mistake.

The gemstone technical paint is actually really nice for lenses when you paint it over a gold.

Wish they spent half the effort into 40k as they're doing with their dead horse meme game.

...That was when he saw the flame. At first, as he saw it blaze across the black vista of space on the occuliport, he thought it was a comet or some celestial body that had chosen that precise moment to manifest. Only when it didn't follow a prescribed trajectory, when it dodged around and through the debris of sundered vessels did he realise it was something else.
It was climbing, this flame, this spear of fire, and headed for the Hell-Stalker.

...The sheer speed of the flame spear was incredible. It was like no spacefaring vessel he'd ever seen, but then this wasn't a ship; it wasn't a ship at all.

...All of this and Dac'tyr was transfixed by the flaming spear. His eyes widened and he wept openly, realising what it was he was seeing.
'In Vulkan's Name...' he whispered.
The flaming spear widened at its tip, spreading into a fiery blade that burned in the void despite the lack of oxygen. Brighter than the sun, it struck the Hell-stalker with the force of a god and sheared it in half.

I wouldn't believe it either, but it's pretty ridiculous that these formations are coming on the tail of Traitor's Hate. They really show that you can make a shitty army good purely through formations and detachments, GW just has to care enough to put some thought into them.

So roll on Biomancy, get Iron Arm, RIP AND TEAR?

>>49274758
Tell your brother that we love him. That's fucking bananas if it's true.

>>49270053
You know... Slaanesh is a "Chaos God," not an "Evil God." That means he/ she has elements of good and evil. In this case, both pain AND pleasure. No offence to you, but I really don't like this tendency to white wash fucking everything. It's all too common.

Can I play chaos space marines without deamonic shit?

>>49274875
Yeah but they won't be very good, coming from a pure CSM player.

>>49274837
Pretty much. Iron Arm, Warp Speed, Precognition, Electroshield, Might of the Ancients, Quickening. None of the extant deathstars can handle the number of high initiative, high strength, AP2, Instant Death attacks these fuckers are going to be putting out.

It's going to be pretty retarded with Foreboding and Perfect Timing as well.

>>49274758
Sorry, not going to believe you without any real source.

>>49274875
Sure, it's called Codex: Space Marines.

Seriously though, unless you want to run Daemons and Daemon Engines, just pick the loyalist codex of your choice and have fun. 95% of your wargear and options are identical to their loyalist counterparts anyways, so WYSIWYG isn't an issue.

>>49270053
My fiance and I are in the LGBTQ bracket and we love Slaanesh, what are you talking about? Coming from a very active bi guy, the amount of debauchery in the gay scene is absolutely off the wall. You don't see straight people hitting poppers 10x a night and having a fuck-train from one end of the bath house to the other dude.

However, if you want to change the GLORIOUS Dark Prince, perhaps focus more on the sadism, artistic drive and the emotional aspects of his character, thus fitting it more into the Dark Eldar mind set (which would make sense seeing as how their kind of behaviour birthed xer).

There's an Apocalypse game going on at the flgs tomorrow.

Basically all my models are unpainted so there's no chance of participating for me; I want to make my models pretty, but would I look like a faggot if I went anyways just to watch

I wouldn't go for the whole thing since I have other appointments I just figure it'd be interesting.

Frontline gaming has good ones, especially the ones with gimmick or unique armies.

The quality goes up and down depending on who is hosting the game.

It doesnt fucking work. If it did they'd just look like men in the end.
>Guard models should be at least 50:50 male/female.
Yeah and just have a planets population die off in a war? Fucking moron, someone needs to breed for guardsman.
>More focus on the role women and non-binary people in the 40k lore/books, especially the HH series.
They dont fucking exist.
> Maybe make one or two primachs canonically trans, it's ok if they are all kept biologically male then.
If theyre fucking space marines then surgery would be nullified and theyd all look like same, large muscular men. Go see some Slaanesh peeps for your weird shit.
>Make the emperor more brown. He comes from the middle east - make it explicit, so that people don't assume he is another white male
The middle east was white before, arabs are form the Arabian peninsula. Then they migrated out and fucked everything.
>Malcador should be a woman.
You shouldnt exist
>Change the lore so that Horus rebels because he racist/sexist and he doesn't like the progressive changes the emperor is introducing.
Thats fucking stupid

America was a good boy he didnt do nuffin didnt mean to massacre those german villages with artillery and give POWS to frenchies to executed dey good boys dey good guys.
