Look at this guy. He looks so cool!

Which Bloodthirster do you rank best, I wonder? I don't play Chaos, but I saw this guy and thought he looked awesome.

>>50291438
Ol' tatterwing.

How good are the "Legacies of ruin" from IA 13 for chaos space marine vehicles?

>>50291448
Varies, some are pretty great.

5th for the Necrons

W-what do

I always wanted to get into this hobby, I finally have the disposable income to waste on it, but I'm not sure if I want to commit to an army that's just going to get stomped.

>>50291476
If you like the play-style, why are you complaining?

So I guess there was a new Fenris leak for Mangus' Fury or something.

At least two or three new units for Tzeentch from what I am reading but that's including thousand sons.

Anyone hyped?

>>50291476
They are fun to play as and playing against unless your local meta/FLGS is full of WAAC guys

>>50291476
Tyranids aren't dogshit, they just have to utilise some key units to not suck, so you're gonna be always locked into some stuff but they're far from unplayable. Go wild.

>>50291476
than change the way you want to play, make thematic armies, or just suck it up, or find a non-meta based playgroup? one thing you never want to do is play an army you don't want to play, just to win.

>>50291431
please don't bring your shitfit into the new threat

>>50291476
Honestly I'd just start collecting them and play midtier armies. GW is going to most likely do a campaign for them at some point, and why collect something you don't care for?

It's within the reason that I could use Raven Guard Tactics and model my army as Night Lords, right?
Maybe even use some chaos bits and models.
I think the Raptors look cooler than assault marines for example.
Scouts are cool to me so I will definitely be using at least two squads for my troops that I need for the Combine Arms Detachment.

What are some other "stealthy" or "stabby" models would I want to include?

How are Landspeeder Storms?

At first I was going to use Chapter Tactics: Raptors that I found but I am afraid they are just strictly better Raven Guard and would be perceived as the "WAAC" choice.

I already have the Space Marine Codex and Seventh Edition Rulebook so I was hoping to go pick up a box or two of scouts at the local shop tomorrow or Saturday.

Maybe an Assault Squad or the Vanguard Veterans with Jump Packs and a Jump HQ of some sort?

Thanks /tg/. You guys make some good points, I'll just suck it up and start with Tyranids.

I guess I could always start a second army if I ever wanted to be a METAGAEM-ing faggot.

SO assuming the continuation of modern GW artists interpreting the models literally, here we have a new Tsons heavy weapon.

What do you think? Rotor cannon? mini-Gatling cannon? Assault Cannon? Something new entirely?

Missing all this shit on that Ironclad sure was epic.

>>50291566
Yes.

So are we getting a new 40k Ahriman model to go along with Warzone Fenris Part II? It looks like he and Magnus are teaming up for the raze Fenris plan, but it would be a bit weird for them to keep using his current model if that were the case.

I mean it is by no means as bad as say, the Phoenix Lords, but it is getting a bit dated.

>>50291609
He got one in that prospero box.

>>50291609
On the one hand, GW put out some of their best work ever in the tail end of the 2e era. On the other, they are still using it.

>>50291614

That is a 30k model not 40k

So I take it you're leaning on it being a legion rotor cannon. If so I hope it has some equivalent of malefic ammunition or Infernal bolts rather than just S3 Ap6 Salvo 3/4

>>50291636
>S3 Ap3 Salvo 3/4
Inferno bolts, but jack up the price for the killing power.

>>50291614
Yes, because 30k Ahriman and 40k Ahriman look completely the same.

It's not like Kharn has a 30k model and got a new 40k model either.

>>50291609
Could be, that's him on the left, so maybe he'll get a new model with a disk.

Can another Tau player give a scale comparison between the XV9 Hazard and the XV95 Ghostkeel? Possibly including the commander for reference.

>>50291665
or just the option for one.

>>50291523

He still makes a decent demon prince.

And to the original question, Forge World bloodthirster all the way.

>>50291665

>A disc

Isn't Ahriman specifically trying to free his legion from Tzeentch? Why would he have a pet screamer?

>>50291681
>want to field ahriman on foot
>have to pay extra because kit comes with a disk whether you want it or not
Yep, seems legit for GW.

>>50291706
He still used the lore of tzeentch.
Summoning and nailing a disc do the materiel realm seems in character.

>>50291710
If you don't want options, stick with the old metal Ahriman.

If I'm stubborn about using Pask in a vanquisher, what's a good LR variant to stick with him to form the squad?

>>50291575

>>50291706
In the same way that the Iron Warriors take Daemons and shove them into cold metal shells and force them to do their bidding.

Abbadon the Armless doesn't want to rely on the gods either, but he knows he needs their power to do shit.

>>50291738
ive seen a lot of demolishers with pasqs at my flgs
not guard myself, just what ive seen

>>50291642
your terrain looks like chocolate

>>50291706
He is, but remember that we're talking about a character who believes with all his heart that he isn't a servant of the Dark Gods while he is in actuality one of their chosen champions.

He'll likely see it as him bending the creature to his own will, while it may in fact just be a gift from his unwanted benefactor.

Tzeentch is pretty damn fond of Ahriman, since he pretty much embodies all of Tzeentch's motifs. So I can see him doing a bunch of shit for him, and making his pawn think it was done via his own power.

>>50291753

That's actually an unexpected choice. I was hoping for something that has more range synergy with the long ranged cannon, but since the Vanquisher is best for cracking tough vehicles, I'm probably going to split fire a lot anyway.

Hey /tg/,

I'll be having a friendly game against space marines, using my Necrons.

Is a Doomsday Ark worth taking to counter Centurions and Terminators?

I'm just finishing up the model now, and looking for any excuse to field it.

>>50291827
>I'm just finishing up the model now, and looking for any excuse to field it.
Do you like it?

>>50291769
Tzeentch fucking loves Ahriman. The Big Nine is giving Ahriman the greatest gift he can give anyone: Death and to be free from the Great Game.

ASSAULT CANNONS WITH INFERNO BOLTS

S6 AP3 RENDING ON RUBRIC HAVOKS MEANS MORE GATTLING CANNON SHOTS THAN A NIGHT WARDEN, ON S&P INFANTRY WITH INVULNERABLE SAVES WITH A SORCEROR

LOYALISTS BTFO FOREVER

GW made an article on Ahriman, which is probably the concept they're using for Fenris part 2 http://www.warhammer-community.com/2016/11/17/who-is-ahriman-part-2-by-john-french/

How do you even pronounce Ahriman's name?

>>50291762
little known fact, willy wonka was actually a daemon prince hellbent on ruling the world through confectionery and would've gotten away for it if not for Lord Colgate.

>>50291837
And that probably also costs more than Knight Warden.

But yeah. Unless proven otherwise, Thousand Sons will rock. GSC proved that GW can make minor factions powerhouses if they want to so TSs might as well be good.

I have a lore question, does trazyn collect chaos artifacts? if so, how does he keep them from affecting the rest of his collection.,

What's the point of the Tempestus Scions formations?

Under what circumstances would you play a game with over 500 points of flyers? The rules are nice but I don't know anyone who owns more than two Valkyries.

Similar problem for the ground assault formation, except its not so much that there's little reason to have so many fliers in your game, is more that I can't stand looking at the Taurox.

Can't wait for the assault cannon to require a full 9 man Tson squad and cost 50 points

>>50291846
Thanks for the link, and it's pronounced pretty much exactly as it is spelled. Though rather than "man" at the end it sounds more like "mahn" if I recall correctly.

>>50291920
This would actually be pretty cool in my opinion. It would be nice if this event actually has long lasting consequences like that.

And since there were rumors about a War in the Webway with the Thousand Sons I'm sure they will get out of this event mostly fine.

>>50291940

>>50291920
I would assume that Fenris will get destroyed (fits the whole chaos rising/ 5min before twelve narrative for the next edition)

>>50291957
Ok.

>>50291846
I pronounce it AR-AH-MAN, (probably due to minor dislexia of first seeing his name as Arhiman)

though it might be closer to AH-RE-MAN (RI same as Ring)

>>50291940
You get some neat special rules.

I wish Taurox Primes weren't so costly in points.

>>50291846
>Ahriman is evil because he is willing to do anything to accomplish his goals. Those goals might be noble, but if you stand between him and them, you have no chance. He will reduce populations to dust, betray people, and use the worst aspects of the Warp if he needs to, and he won’t even think twice. Anyone’s suffering does not matter. Anyone else’s view or survival does not matter. If you need to suffer or die for something he needs, then that is just the way it’s got to be. It’s not that he enjoys it; it’s that he thinks that it is unimportant. It’s not gleeful, gloating evil, it’s the cold indifference of true evil.
>And just to top it off, that goal is all a lie, and the end he seeks, while walking through ashes and atrocity, is not salvation, but deeper damnation.

Okay, while French is by no means one of my favorite authors at BL, I have to admit, he pretty much nailed Ahriman's character in that post. Love it when people can show how a character can be sympathetic while still showing they are horrible individuals.

>>50291977

That policy is so dumb, I really liked how shit looked varied in the art and used it as inspiration for some of my conversions.

So I found it especially retarded when they kept reusing the Dark Vengeance Chosen look in that recent Black Crusade book. The art was pretty shitty in it too.

Yes they were, imagine a total newbie to the hobby, still with his GW super glue, trying to assemble ill-fitting metal/plastic marines together.

But I've had them since the start. They're my sons.

>>50292266
I think the art should be more about showcasing the setting and shit, rather than being a marketing tool. The miniatures sell themselves, and they already include a ton of pictures of them in the book anyway.

>>50292262
More like GW's paranoia about British copyright laws. They just don't want another Chapterhouse to happen, which I kind of get. But that was because they were retarded enough to have units and not make official models of them.

Thinking people will sell shit solely based on the art is really going a touch too far. I think just having no rules unless a model exists was a reasonable enough policy.

>tfw someone walked off with some models of mine a few months back

What's the best Power Weapon to pick on a normal Space Marine sergeant for its cost/value? Sword, Maul, Axe, Lance or Fist?

>>50292694

Once you go lance, you'll never go bance.

>>50291448
Same deal with the Legacies of Glory. Whichever Legacy that lets you reroll seize the initiative, while forcing the opponent to reroll his successful seize is pretty good.

On the loyalists side there's War on Murder as the god-tier one. Stick it on a Deredeo like Raptors Anon found did, and watch it become a murdermachine that can kill a flyrant every turn, and shred tau MC/GC's to pieces.

>>50291509
Most people don't really care if you use the forgeworld tactics. I've played with Raptors Tactics for years and few people ever bother with it.

I would recommend getting yourself an Honour Guard if you want to mix things up with making melee lists. While Land Speeder Storms loaded up with Shotgun scouts can be a pretty damn fun list. Just fly around the table shooting and charging anything you want.

>>50292694
Fist. For +10pts +4S and ap2 is just so much better than other options.

Guys, this is the worst tier of fluff rape, rubrics are meant to be mindless dust zombies, not able to work complex machinery.

How the fuck are they meant to reload it, or manage jams?

Rubrics can walk, shoot bolter, awkwardly lunge for a close combat attack. That's it, that's their limit. They can't even manage running or self defense.

On the note of the Thousand Suns, who or what operates their vehicles exactly if the greater of their number have been turned to dust?

Does anyone with large collections find it difficult to play anything but larger games? I hate breaking out my Blood Angels at anything smaller than company strength and my guard never sees the table below 5k. Soon, my AdMech and DW are gonna be in the same boat.

>>50292794

>>50292856
How do they reload a bolter or manage jams for a bolter?

It's almost like a bolter is a piece of machinery or something.

>>50292867
They use a lot of human fodder, in the first invasion of Fenris they attempted they had a few million human troops serving as meat shields and transporters.

>>50292856
>How the fuck are they meant to reload it, or manage jams?

Same way as they do with bolters.

Bolters almost never jam, and it's as easy as fumbling a clip into a slot.

Maintaining an autocannon is like... Loading or unjamming a printer. Can you imagine a Rubric working in an office? Hanging around the cooler swapping stories with Eldar Steve from accounting? Of course not, that'd be fucking absurd.

>>50292856
it's a practiced motion, they're not dumb, and the sorcerer probably tells them to reload every now & again. there's a short story where one recalls vague memories

also the rubric can be reversed so maybe they'll tie that into the new release

>>50292856
>>50292794
They aren't zombies retard, they are more akin to automatons. In other words they are capable of complex actions should they be directed to do so. They only become "zombie" like when there is no sorcerer around to give specific directions, then they just walk and shoot.

Not to mention the "mindless" part is arguable too. Considering a Rubric has already been successfully turned back to a normal Thousand Son. Their minds are still there, just messed up due to the whole dust thing.

>>50292918

>>50292867
There was a C.S. Goto book that said Ahriman's rubrics still recruited but the fleshies weren't given much consideration beyond a job and equipment, so presumably it would be some mook driving the Thousand Sons around.

>>50292918
all you have to do with a minigun is hold down the button

Fuck you sorcerer bitches learn to war first REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

So say that, hypothetically, the Dark Angels get their shit together and help out the Space Wolves so they survive the assault from the Thousand Sons (though Fenris itself might not).

Do you think there are any other forces that would join the Thousand Sons in a battle against them should that occur? Like another traitor Legion or Warband?

And don't you fuckers say Alpha Legion

>>50292918

If the Thousand Sons divided after Hariyman's rubric, does that mean there are still Thousand Sons on the Planet of Sorcerers hanging around with Horus Heresy era equipment? Could that lead to their army getting fancy shit?

And when Magnus flung all their asses into the warp did that include their vehicles and dreadnoughts or were those left behind? The transportation spell was triggered by the scarabs they all had on their armor if I remember the novel correctly so vehicles probably wouldn't have made the journey but what about all their contemptor dreadnoughts?

Ahriman invaded the planet of the sorcerers in order to recast the Rubric and reverse it. Failed due to a couple of reasons I don't feel like explaining, but once his forces escaped they found out he succeeded in returning one particular Rubric, back into human form.

Basically he doesn't know how to do it on a widescale yet, but he does have the means to return them to normal.

>>50292794
>>50292856

Oh you cheeky fucker.

But yeah, I can't think of any that would join up with them honestly. I pointed out the Alpha's since they seem to have something going on in the Horus Heresy books, but that's about it.

The other Legions either hated them, or the Sons despised them for turning to Chaos first. And I'm sure Magnus and Lorgar don't get along well anymore.

Maybe Iron Warriors? Pert apparently didn't hate Magnus, so they could possibly still be amicable with one another.

The TS codex probably won't let you take Dreadnoughts even though FW has TS Dreads and Contemptor Dreads.

>>50293081
I always wondered how that worked, like did the the marine in the Dreadnought just turn to dust in their, and sort of possess the entire machine.

And what if a powerful psyker was in a Dreadnought? Did he get the empowerment like the others?

The Ahriman Trilogy of novels by John French, basically depicts the events from his Exile, to his "current" activities.

Pretty decent read, but it also introduces a lot of interesting details in how his personal Warband and Magnus' group of Thousand Sons differ. As well as the whole Rubric thing.

Is there a BatRep on YouTube of a full Spear of Sicarius formation?

I'd love to see these amounts of STEEL REHN.

Probably been answered before but you guys would know best, so here goes:

Can you use the "Kill Team Cassius" Deathwatch guys as part of an appropriate squad, while keeping their special rules from the box set? If not, is the only option besides using the models as stand-ins for "regular" codex troops using them as one-man "units" of their own? What would that even be like?

How does calling out special issue ammo work? Would I be able to bait out a jink and use the ignores cover ammo or would I have to declare it before?

>>50293076
Magnus spent a lot of time on Terra with Perturabo and was most likely the closest thing the Lord of Iron had to a favorite brother. I could see him joining up to smash Imperium with him. It'd be a pretty terrifying combination as well, 1k Sons have the magic and oh boy do the IWs have the guns and bodies.

>>50293234
You declare your ammo type before shooting.

How can CSM be better? Any thoughts?

>>50293219
A little confused on your question. Here's a couple stabs of what I think your answer is.

>1. Can I use Garran Branatar, Salamander Terminator as a normal Terminator?

Sure
>2. Can I use Garran Branatar, Salamander Terminator in a formation that calls out a Terminator?
Unless the formation has a clause saying you can sub in named characters for generic roles no.

>>50293240
>>50293076
Now that you guys mention it, Thousand Sons and Iron Warriors would be a pretty insane combination on the battlefield.

Considering Iron Warriors hate using Chaos shit and prefer to bind it, and the Thousand Sons not exactly being fond of being under Tzeentch's hand, they are actually kind of similar ideology wise.

And the sheer firepower both forces could bring would be terrifying.

>>50293247

So since Magnus and the Thousand Sons are getting a major focus, what is the next traitor Legion going to be?

I recall rumors of more Daemon Primarchs, but I don't think anyone other than Magnus was named. Who do you think is most likely?

I say Pert and the Iron Warriors personally.

>>50293313
I'm thinking they're going to do each god specific Legion. I'd like to say World Eaters next, but KDK came out a only short while ago so that's probably not going to happen. I could see an Emperor's Children focus.

>>50293313
Either Emperor's Children or Deathguard, since Kharn and Ahriman just got an update. Plus those Daemon Primarchs are still around.

Khorne already has the Daemonkin book, and I don't think Angron's banishment is done yet.

>>50293289
Unless Magnus takes the field in full i-benchpress-titans-for-kicks warform, i'd be more afraid of the medusa shells the IW keep dropping on me than anything the Sons can do

>>50293264
Sorry if it was unclear.

What I meant was, can you use Garran Brantar as Garran Brantar with his "flamecraft" special rule, attatched to a Codex: Deathwatch unit of Terminators without that special rule?

Is the only way you can field him as "Garran Brantar" by himself or in the unwieldy "Kill Team Cassius"?

As I understand it, no, and the special rules are just a gimmick that can be used in Kill Team rules?

Thanks for the answer btw.

>>50293334
EC would mean favoring Slaanesh, which the last Slasnesh release was the Chariots? (Not counting Made to Order as those were fan chosen)

Honestly Khorne would be easiest with Nurgle being a close second.

I'm guessing Slaanesh will get a dual release (in AOS / 40K) right after or during the Aelves release.

>>50293355
>by himself or in the unwieldy "Kill Team Cassius"?
Yeah, you either have to take a single named Terminator and give up a kill point (admittedly, he'll fuck vehicles simply by existing near them, so keep that in mind) or take the whole dysfunctional team

>>50293332
>or Typhus

Which Space Marine Chapter has a good rivalry with him?

Didn't the DA mess with him once upon a time?

I would love if they went Nurgle next regardless.

Eh, at least the unique models are sexy enough to make up for the silliness of the unique rules.

And do Kor Phaeron or Lufght Huron have any regular contact?

>>50293379

Weren't there rumors that GW was planning on revamping Slannesh at some point? And no I don't mean the ridiculous BoLS rumor where some idiot said that Slannesh itself would be getting a model.

But I do think they might want to make that a priority if they are indeed planning on changing the aesthetic of that God.

>>50293448
True, but I still think that the Slaanesh will be getting stuff around the same time as AOS aelves, due to the lore that they godnapped it.

Which just by going with the 40K release rumors, doesn't lend itself much space for such a large release (AOS aelves, AOS Slaanesh, 40k EC)

This Tau could hail from a world with high gravity which overtime contributed to increased muscle mass.

That's actually a pretty good representation of being out of xv15 armor. I'm assuming that box is supposed to be the jetpack.

This is still the sexiest stealth armor

Does anyone else think that formations are total bullshit?

Why should I get special abilities because I field a cookie cutter army formation, this just fucks up any semblance of individuality and allows for some pretty bullshit rules.

I always see people complaining about certain formations on here but why not complain about formations in general? It seems to me like they were created to sell box sets more then anything.

>>50293953
Formations shouldn't give powerful bonuses but should merely exist to allow you to field the units they have with maybe a minor rule added on. Really powerful shit like the Skyhammer Annihilation Force or the optimized stealth cadre are bullshit but something like the First Company Taskforce or the Rapid Response Cadre aren't bad.

>>50293953
Although I dislike formations in general some make a shitty unit you would never take viable.

>>50293409
Are there Black Legion aligned warbands in the Maelstrom? Probably. Does Abaddon hold enough power to strong-arm Huron into doing shit? Probably not.

Chaos Space Marines are kinda like loyalist Space Marines in that you can't really tell them what to do unless you're stronger than them and willing to prove it.

>>50293953
They should just do AoS and make the formation costs points

>>50294016
See my problem with formations is that they started out making them really powerful and then over time decided that that was to much power and dumbed em down which makes all the newer formations trash which makes the armies who were hoping a formation would help them get on the same playing field as others just fucking terrible.

>>50293953
Formations/detachments should be a design space for special rules that deal with different units working together and for variant organizations of forces. They shouldn't be a space for "spam a unit and it gets better." That sort of shit should be in the unit entry itself, and most of that shit shouldn't really be reliant on fielding multiple anyways.

So with warzone fenris 2 being confirmed I've been wondering, how do we make Grey knights great again?

Low model count armies suck cock unless they are supremely broken units like wolfstars and such, and bar certain units Grey knights have to try very hard to earn points back.

What models could use a points decrease?

What formation rules and compositions could help them out?

I think their lore is actually pretty dope in 7th edition, the greatest of the greatest space marines, the emporers finally fuck you to the chaos gods, but on the flip side each and every Grey Knight is doomed to make the ultimate sacrifice to hold off the inevitable darkness for just a moment more.

Eh, they'd need to go back and rethink several formations if they started giving them point costs, and it would almost certainly gut the more mediocre formation/detachment sets. The CSM ones are barely viable as is, and the Ork and IG ones are already useless.

Modern GK lore is retarded. Draigo is an abomination, everyone and their brother's wife's son knows about them, and the best addition to their lore (the Blood Tide) is near universally reviled because the fanbase is retarded and/or doesn't really get the themes behind the Inquisition/Grey Knights.

If it gave PE instead of Hatred it would at least be neat. As is, you're better off just taking them in the Warband for ObSec. Double-tapping with a Burning Brand is cute, but the sole use of the double-tap (getting around Interceptor) is just too rare/finnicky to be worth it. The most common Interceptor unit (Riptide) is too durable to reliably kill with a couple combi-weapons anyways.

Paladins need a point drop. Custodes are cheaper than them and better (and they should be better than SMs)

Purifiers and Purgations are the only infantry in the codex without Deep Strike. Now whether they should be able to DS or not is a different story.

Strike Knights are straight up inferior to Terminators (11-12 points more gets you +1 A, Ld 9, and Terminator Armour).

Rather Psilencers be reworked. Personally a whole Save or Die gun is pretty unfun.

Psycannons got shit on from becoming Relentless (and a minor gripe I have is Power Armour GKs trade in their melee weapon and still pay 5/10/15pts for a Heavy Weapon) while TDAs pay 5 more points and keep their melee effectiveness (and can still charge)

And in general GKs suffer the same as all melee Marine armies for transports.

Only change I'd truly like to see is Banishment becomes -1 to ANY INVULNERABLE save, not just Daemon Saves.

All i need is some leaked rules + formations and i can dump money on them

>>50294158
Go read the actual new codex instead of 1D4chan

The blood tide and draigo are super downplayed, with the blood tide being a footnote with no mention of slaughtering nuns, and draigo basically sacrificed himself to defeat a daemon prince who will eventually just come back, now he just wonders the warp unable to actually affect anything

Each and every high ranking Grey knight is haunted by some sort of daemon or fate that will inevitably lead to them being forced to sacrifice themselves for a phyric victory, and since daemons just return after 100 years they very rarely do anything that has any permanence.

Orkz die and don't return, chaos space marines die and never come back, every other race has to replace what's destroyed, daemons loose nothing from dying, and the codex makes it clear that the grey knights stand defiant in a war they can never win, and I think that's cool

>>50294211
>Custodes are cheaper than them and better
This is a problem with Custodes more than anything else.

I think we all know who she's talking about
It's 5 editions in the making after all

>>50294211
Yeah palys need to become wulfin tier in the amount of rape they put out

Psycanons suck because they are a mass fire weapon and the only units that can rock more than one is palidans (expensive) and purifiers who have much better things to do

Basically right now the only viable pure GK list is just spamming dreadknights and purifiers, most other things are just prohibitively expensive

>>50294262
It's also a problem with Paladins too imo.

In 5e Terminators were 40ppm and Paladins were 55 ppm (both getting free melee weapon swaps)

15 pts to get +1 WS, W and get pimp status.

In 7e Terminators dropped to 33ppm while Paladins stayed at 55 ppm and both lost free melee weapon swaps.

Rather they kept the 1.375 ratio between them, which would've brought Paladins down to around 45pts, (and now under Custodes)

>>50294259
>Blood Tide downplayed
Exactly.

Draigo still manages to punk a daemon primarch in his own lair and graffiti the body. Can you imagine the rectal rage if the next CSM codex invents an Alpha Legion character who sneak-murders his way onto Macragge and tattoos a hydra onto Guilliman's ass?

>Orkz die and never return
Are you serious?

There are multiple CSM characters that prominently feature resurrection as part of their schtick.

All loyalist astartes are destined to die in a losing fight to keep the Imperium of Man from crumbling.

>>50294322

I think it's even easier for Orks to come back if what happened to Mogrok or Tuska is to be believed.

>>50294299
>wulfin tier

I don't want them broken, just competitive. In 5e I could justify running Strikes, Terminators, Purifiers, or Paladins and not feel like I was gimping myself.
Now everytime I run Paladins I wish I ran more TDAs.

>>50294344
there is absolutely no scenario where you should run palidans over dreadknights, there's no scenario to every run anything in the elite slot other than purifiers, and it would be a tough argument to justify using anything as your HQ other than a ML3 Libby

I'm not asking for Vanilla SM levels of variable lists, just want 2 or 3 builds that I can actually try and win a casual game with

>>50293910
Xv15 should be repacked and rebranded as a line armour without stealth at 17ppm

Good idea or bad idea?

>>50294403
Oh I agree. You would think a codex with effectively only TWO options in each slot would be an easy balance. But GW fucked it up.

>Personally I ignore the entire Elite slot.
Paladins are overpriced, GK Dreadnoughts are even more expensive than vanilla Dreadnoughts for a fixed 6++ power... (seriously give GK Dreadnoughts Reinforced Aegis, which allows any blessing cast by the Dreadnought on itself to target all GKs within 12"), and Purifiers don't fit my style.

>>50292668
>>50292685
Fuckin' kek.

>warzone fenris volume 2
I FUCKING KNEW IT

people were RIGHT when the wulfen were released

Space Yiffs are getting another fucking supplement full of no doubt OP bullshit and thousand sons are going to be in the back of the book for them to jerk off to.

>>50294322
Yeah I mean the whole point is the imperium is one second from midnight

But you have to agree that In the Grey Knights codex its a much larger theme to them

>>50294517
Are you actually this retarded?

The entire novel will be putting Thousand Sons first, that is almost guaranteed with the new models we have seen.

It is entirely possible they may get a small formation but we can hope they give it to a different supporting faction like GK or something.

I play 40k Admechs, and I originally wanted a faithful port of the 30k non-cybernetica units to 40k in IA14 alongside the automata.

But after starting to get into and collect 30k Mechanicum myself. FW will have to either make every release Skitarii or nerf the shit out of them to avoid massive brokenness in War Convocation armies.

For instance, take Myrmidon Secutors. Normally a poor choice in a 30k army, as they are overcosted, require an expensive transport and have to select 2 expensive guns to be fielded at all.

Take them in a War Convocation and you can fire either 2 haywire blasts, 6 BS5 S6AP3 shots or a plethora of other options for 40 points per T5, 2W 3+/5++ model.

Although short ranged, these can be carried in a land raider chassis transport with Scout, reserves manipulation, Armoured Ceramite, a Flare Shield and 2 Torrent Fleshbane AP3 templates, as well as nearly every standard vehicle upgrade. All for 195 pts.
FW better get this right, or it will be either useless or very, VERY powerful.

>>50294536
My theory is that the first book was wolves, the second book will be mostly Tsons, and the final book will be for GKs and other assorted factions

>>50294536
say whatever you want, but I seriously doubt CSM/Thousand Sons are getting anything beyond the new models we've already been shown (magnus and a thousand sons kit) and possibly a formation to field them

the first book had some pathetic daemon releases in the back... it was all garbage.

>>50294550

war convocation is one of the most restrictive metaformations in the game, you wouldn't be able to fit any automata into a war convo

>>50294584
Magnus, Terminator Rubrics, Melee Rubrics, Shooty Rubrics, Tzaangors, Sorcerors on discs. Maybe a new Ahriman.

>>50294584

the "pathetic daemon releases" are incredibly powerful wtf are you talking about

>>50291897
>CANNON BOLTS WITH INFERNO ASSAULTS

>>50294584
They're a separate faction (see the Magnus box top faction header) with at least four kits (Magnus, PA Sons, TDA Sons, Tzangors). Even if the TDA isn't a full separate kit (maybe just an upgrade sprue to be used alongside any of the other TDA kits), that's still at least four separate bran few unit data sheets needed. Plus whatever they do for Sorcerers and vehicles.

I get that it's smart to be wary, but you're just being stupid.

>>50294633
INFERNOS WITH ASSAULT CANNON BOLTS!

>>50293025
>and i think we both know what slaanesh uses
Sick riffs

>>50293742
>what is the sexiest non FW vehicle
The Vyper

>>50294631
Powerful? Yes
Incredibly limited? Yes

2 formations per god, with 2 neutral.
Each god formation incredibly mono-build.

Because a core of 500 pts with 7,8,9,10 units because muh numbers is fun.

Would've liked something a little more open for multiple gods

>>50293796
>Helchicken
>sexiest vehicle

Absolutely not. I hate the Chaos flier and wish we got something less retarded.

>>50294614
True, but remember the Cult Mech section is their standard FoC. Any cultmech stuff in IA14 can be included, even if the points would be a bit tight.
Hell, if we get Castellax we could run 2 T7W4 MCs with all their upgrades as troops and use Myrmidon Destroyers in Triaros for Grav.

Like GW is going to have anyone else fight the Thousand Sons.

>>50295057
They're just going to fire the Lion's comatose body out of a railgun at demon!Magnus.

>>50295069
i seriously hope it doesn't happen because "the wolf time" is such a stupid fucking name

The thousand sons will destroy Fenris or at least make inhospitable(even for the wolves) in a pyrrhic victory the wolves will survive and become a spacefaring chapter.

Screenshot this.

>>50295069
>Like Lion won't drop Wulfen Russ in one punch after banishing Magnus.

I hope thats 1k Sons will burn Fenris, kill some wolves and say "good bye" witch no "Grimnar rape Magnus in duel and tattoo his one eye witch name of russ" also hope Russ will not show himself.
And I hope Stern will survive.

>>50295159
I think the Space Wolves and Khorne have been in the midst of a "who can give our troops/items/vehicles/etc the absolute fucking dumbest names possible" competition that's just gotten completely out of hand. Between the Wolves throwing the word Wolf into literally everything and Khorne throwing blood/skull into everything I'm not even sure which side is winning anymore.

Stern either needs to get off his ass and kill M'kachen once and for all and become promoted to Grand Master or die and make room for somone new.

>>50295233
wolves wins.
khorne is using 2 words, khorne followers know more worlds than sons of russ.

Would I hate myself for glueing a Wyvern as a Wyvern instead of magnetizing it to also be a hydra?

Hydras are so bad.

wolf fags are a true cancer to this hobby

I hope magnus delivers justice to those furries and deletes them from the galaxy
