Just invent a Cadre or whatever a largish Tau army is called, say it hit a warp storm and got teleported to the Eye of Terror or Cadia or whatever because Chaos is Fickle. Then you have plucky Tau holding off against impossible odds, cause muh powerlevel obsessives to have aneurysms and all the other stuff Tau bring but in Chaosland. Easy.

Do you guys think Archmagos Cawl will be worth running? He looks good, but I'm always wary of ~300 point characters without Eternal Warrior. I hope they make his special abilities good, or we pay ~200 points for an extra 2 toughness and wounds on a regular Dominus.

If he's T6, the only thing you usually need to worry about for Instant Death is Force Weapons, meaning melee. Other than that, you're pretty much set. Very few ranged weapons have ID effects, and you can LOS most of them or just position him in an allied Guard blob or so.

Alright. Last time trying this

So I was planning a planet for 40k based on pretty much every single greek culture ever to exist basically.

>Capital is at the center of a hollowed-out super Mountain à la being Delphi. There may or may not be a rogue psyker here doing stuff and thangs
>Each of the cities is ruled by a clan or Phyle. The ten cities are named after their ruling Phyle.
>People hold Olympics every so often
>Prideful
>Philosphers of War
Etc

I haven't really thought about how I wanted the Military/PDF to be was thinking the PDF would be the equivalent of Hoplites. First sons usually inheriting the job, armor, and las or autogun. Don't know what to do with the Guard Regiments.

What I really would like feedback on is would it be a good idea to include monsters of myth like hydras. minotaurs, Cerberus etc and what not as the result of Tyranid seeding? And the more man-like creatures like the chimera or harpies the result of chaos taint? Or would that make it too hard to develop cities with Super beats roaming?

Also had the idea that "Mount Olympus" is a Mega Temple the Ecclesiarch built after telling the populace:
>"Hey you know all those gods and demigods you worshiped? Yeah, that was the Emperor. They were all the Emperor."

Which caused a war between people who wanted to convert and others who didn't. Thusly leading to bands of marauding heretics.

Does this sound good? Any suggestions? or is it shit and I should feel bad?

To be fair, the Salamanders aren't 'black' like normal black people, they are literally charcoal black, and its not as if they are all originally black, it doesn't matter what colour you where before, because your skin will turn pure black and your eyes red.

There are actual black people though, several BL novels make reference to people with dark skin colour.
>>
>>50843252>>50843265

Yeah, I've found that sticking my HQs in Skittles units works really well since my relics can buff them and give the units Shrouded with canticles.

Shouldnt be too much trouble since they do have to wound T6 2+ 4++?. Mostly worried about Nurgle stuff, I fight them a lot.

Eh, barring certain edgecases involving psychic powers/Grotti lowering your Toughness, you should be fine in most cases. If you're fighting Death Guard, the most notable threat will he the Auto-Havocs, vs Daemons, usually the Plague Drones/Soulgrinders.

What's the best long range anti-tank weapons for the Guard? When making my lists, I always come up with something I like that has almost everything I feel like I need, except long range good anti-tank weapons. So far the best I've come up with are Vendettas and Lascannon Heavy Weapons teams. Everything else seems liek it's 1 shot at BS3.

>>50843396
Autocannons buried in IG squads, buffed by Bring it Down!

If you don't mind bringing Ultramarines, a Librarius Conclave is hilarious if you make Tigurius your Warlord. You can join a Librarian to a unit of Conscripts making them count as a Marine unit, so Tigurius can buff that unit to have Rending shots. Add re-rolls to-hit with Prescience, and extra shots with First Rank Fire, Second Rank Fire, and collect your opponent's tears in a cup. Since he is ML 3 and can re-rolls for power generation, you also have good odds of getting Misfortune so you can Rend a second unit!

You too can bring down Metal Bawxes with Lasguns.

>>50843422
Not really, Zerkers are quite overpriced. A standard Warband would serve you better. The Lost and the Damned could be fine, if you take a big blob, you could use it to escort Kharn.

>>50843450
It's better than the Maelstrom, as Noise Marines have a better price/value. However, the warband has ObSec and more versatility than Noise Marines. If aiming for a greater points value I'd include both (with anti-armor/assault focused warband) with some auxiliary.
>>
>>50843293
just be aware that if he ends up tanking shooting attacks his majority toughness will be that of the unit, meaning your T6 badass is getting wounded as if he was T3. it's the same problem that primarchs have when they join terminator bodyguard units in Horus Heresy - often the "bodyguards" actually end up getting their daddy hurt more if you're not careful about model positioning.

the same also applies in close combat if you're not in a challenge (and against that guy there's a good chance they'll decline), so it's sometimes wise to have a character leave the unit before a charge as long as you're sure both the character and unit aren't going to fail the roll.

obviously you have Look Out Sir! to help you out in both cases, but it's still pretty annoying to have to deal with and it's important to keep in mind when you have an IC with dramatically higher toughness than the unit he's rolling with.

>>50843358
Yeah, it's that power Necrosius has that worries me. Focussed Witchfire, S3 AP2 Fleshbane ID.
I guess I have to hope I can make one invulnerable save, and a 4++ isn't that reliable.

>>50843385
Yeah, at least Skitarii either do surprisingly well in melee thanks to S5 Taser and -1T, or they get mullered quickly and I can shoot the offending unit.

>>50843394

Normally it's a mix, so both of those plus a FW Blight Drone.
There will be War Convocation next time if he keeps bringing the Vraks Unending Host, though, so hopefully I have the firepower to take them down.

>>50843602

I did not think of that. I suppose I could have him roll with Kataphron Destroyers, which are still T5, but I don't really want to be LoSing to them since they're expensive, powerful and squishy. If he had Patris Cybernetica he'd hang with Kastelans, but this isn't 30k.

I'd say move the terminators out for a set of assaults. Maybe cut one of the rhinos to see if you can fit another assault after that.

>>50843649
You can still Look Out, Sir! against Focused Witchfires, on a 2+ since he's an IC. You have your 4++ on top of that, and he needs to succeed on at least WC+1 dice to actually single you out. Note that he doesn't actually have a Spell Familiar either.

>>50843669
i recommend that you take heavy flamer sponsons rather than heavy bolters. and when building it dont glue on the twin linked assault cannon so you can switch between it as the flamer varient when you need it.

your captain doesn't really need melta bombs, that hammer and chainfist will destroy any vehicles.

I don't think you're allowed a missile launcher AND an assault cannon on the terminators, and you won't need more than one chainfist in a squad.

I'd go heavy flamer and then melta + combi-melta on both squads, you can combat squad them and have them fire at different targets.

Other than that it's not a bad list.

>>
>>50843749
I heard Kharn is a hell of a guy...
>>
>>50843629
>Why are possessed bad?

Because they're completely dependent on their random rules to do well at the one job they have, and you pay a premium for the unit. If Possessed roll poorly when they get into combat, you'd be better off with any other unit that cost the same amount of points, and if Possessed roll well, they'll do their job about as well as the other assault specialist units in the codex. Compare AP3 Possessed to Warp Talons, for instance.

>Also does the "The Tormented" make them good enough to take?

Yes. The Tormented and Chosen of Chaos give a reason why you would take Possessed over anything else. Chosen of Chaos even rewards good decisions and positioning with the Prince.
>>
>>50843806
Bullgryns? Yeah.

It's pretty standard to run them with a priest and a psyker.
>>
>>50843716
Really? I'll have to remember that. I also thought that FW automatically targeted a specific model. That's handy. The other problem was being gibbed by some dick with a Force Axe, but I guess I can have my Skitarii Alpha take the challenge and/or just kill him. I hope this guy isn't swinging a Power Axe around like every other tech-priest, beginning to hate everyone getting better melee even on just random Libbys. At least give me the option for a Fist.

Bullgryns maybe. The Rampart Battalion is...usable.

Have them move, toss out Living Lightning or other snooty powers, then Run 3d6-Pick-Highest with Move! Move! Move!

Thinking of finally getting into 40k. I really like jump pack units, but I'm unsure if I should go SM or CSM. Black Legion seems pretty neat with the Raptor Talon formation, but is it better than Raven Guard SM? Also, would a list like this work in the slightest?
>>
>>50843806
that's pretty much the entire point of bullgryns from what I understand. it's also why they don't let you attach ICs to MCs anymore (except for specific dudes in Horus Heresy, but they're usually almost the same toughness anyway and the game felt really bad for the time when you couldn't).
>>
>>50843629
They're melee-only infantry on foot, without any movement bonuses, and they're expensive and they're random. The Favored of Chaos formation makes them potentially deadly in melee if they remain nearby their Prince, as getting all the Mutations at once basically turns them into budget Vanguard that hit harder.

The problem is actually getting them into assault.

go with whose models you like
->with csm you can use SM models too AND use plasma/meltaguns on them. something only blood angels can do on the loyalist side

I've definitely thought about that. I have an old Leman Russ that has Multi-Meltas on the side and a Lascannon on the front and I thought that might be nice to convert into a Vanquisher. I'd like to put Pask in it to make sure more hits, but at the same time I feel like Pask is so good in the Punisher, it's hard to put him in something else.

IIRC, actual Nocturneans very closely resemble "real" black people, but the gene-seed of Vulkan and the incredible radiation of their homeworld turns their skin charcoal black and makes their eyes glow red as an enhanced radiation protector.

Also, being the color of charcoal ties into their whole "everything is fire, all the time' shtick.

>and anecdotal evidence is retarded.

I've never understood why people so completely dismiss anecdotal evidence out of hand, because real-world experience is a HUGE part of conducting research and analyzing the world around us.

I understand it doesn't stand on its own (and neither does raw statistics, really), but that doesn't make it any less important to legitimately consider when discussing something or forming an opinion.

What exactly are Golden men, Iron men and Stone Men?

I know the golden men created the stone men to spread across the stars since the golden couldn't do it reliably themself.

Iron men where made and basically kickstarted the Golden/Dark age of technology, till the iron turn again the golden men. With the help of the stone men, the iron was defeated, but the Golden men where pretty much extinc at that point.

If the old lore says the Emperor was the last of the Golden men. Then are the modern 40k humans not actual humans but Stone men?

That could explain how "evolution and mutation" work so fast in 40k resulting in things as abhumans so fast.
>>
>>50845055
I'd basically just have to paint Stormcast Eternals on a Space Marine model.

I also like the little fluff there is about them. The whole "african tribal Space Marines" theme is kind of cool to me and their last stand was also neat. Not to mentio that Ekene is pretty badass, all things considered.

A real shame their colors don't fit their chapter theme a whole lot. Gold/Blue doesn't really scream "tribal warrior" to me.

I'd probably use their chapter tactics if I were to make a Celestial Wolves list, though I'm more into "African tribal" than the Charadon's "Hawaiian tribal" aesthetic.

Though I've also considered that the Executioners Chapter Tactics would also be really fitting to use on Ekene. His last group of men did fight with full zeal and not losting any of their morale, even when being the literal last of their entire chapter with Ekene managing to kill a Warboss with several of his limbs missing (admittedly with the help of Grimaldus and his Chaplain-in-training but still), so inflicting ID during a challenge would kind of seem appropriate.

Because painting Salamanders faces is painfully annoying for similar reasons as Raven Guard/successors. It's EXTREMELY difficult to paint salamanders faces, and it's also EXTREMELY difficult to paint RG faces.

We're not exactly painting wood elves. Technology doesn't exist in nature either. I agree that it's not necessary to have a pure 255/255/255 white, but it works plenty well as a dot in lenses or for a final super thin edge highlight. I would also prefer white for mixing colors than an off white.

Just give it a try on something expendable and if it ends up being good, then use it. Some guaranteed won't-melt-cover-your-miniature brands that are cheap are Dupli-Color, Krylon, and Rustoleum. Although Krylon and Rustoleum still cost like $2.50 to $5 a can. Dupli-Color can be had for below $1 though.

The reason the gold looks brighter is because they highlight and layer with silver afterwards, and also because the studio lighting is so bright, and it might even be digitally altered. If you look at official models at Warhammer World, they are all darker/different color than the photo.

You have a lot of shooty units in your army. Keep your troops back and shooting down his. Use Long Fangs to pop dreads from the comfort of cover or a metal box. Additionally you can experiment with using infiltrate or drop pods to deliver suicide melta squads.
>>
>>50847427
Post the lists because SW blow the fuck out of anything Black Templars can use, they got better melee in the form of better dreadnoughts, wolf cav and wulfen plus formations for great bonuses. Black Templars on the other hand have crusader squads, which are a great troop choice but their not killing anything other than troop choices and stuff like melee Centurions are shit since they are low count unit that needs to lose a model to get good in a fight.

You got all the tools, use them, thats my advice if you dont post the lists.

Land Speeders make for great multi-melta suicide units because of their speed, but a single one will get shot down fast.

>long fangs with missiles parked behind cover
>land speeder with two multi-meltas

strategy is to get your meltas into range of the dreads and your flamers into range of the melee unit. You might also want more units to camp on objectives and something to provide you ignores cover if he decides to park in cover.

>>50847730
>regret selling orks
Unless it's generic ork boys, it doesn't matter. the new codex will change what you need to make a viable army.
>>
>>50848412
The rules are Forgeworld, available as a download, and will probably be in the next IA book whenever that eventually comes out.

They're supposed to be Skitarii, but a careful reading of the rules makes it so they can't actually be taken by anyone...? They're not Skitarii faction (they have their own faction), but can only be taken by a Skitarii army as an elites choice in their unique detachment. However, the detachment that they're taken in has to take units all from the same faction (and all Skitarii faction). That's just basic list building 101.

Easy to overlook it because it's an obvious mistake (someone forgot how factions work in 7th Ed) but it's the kind of embarrassing error that GW/FW consistently makes that would be so easily fixed with any real edit staff at all. Or, like, played their own game so they knew about how badly their rules were put together.
>>
>>50848464

Diluting isn't necessary, and adding too much water weakens the stripping power. If you want to make it last longer you can mix in 25% to 50% water but I'd just soak them straight. Open or closed doesn't matter, cleaning soap doesn't make fumes or gas that would explode or expand the closed container.

Man, your models aren't about what makes a viable army. Fuck's sake.

Does anyone actually use them for anything? Peltasts in particular seem like they could really use a transport, and until Fire of Cyraxus comes out AdMech/Skitarii aren't getting any of those. A 20 man squad in one of these babies sure does seem good, though...

>>50848530
What do you mean "added in?" FW units/models are not added into the GW books. They have their own rules resources. As long as you overlook the faction error there's nothing preventing you from running them in a Skitarii army right now. Well, there's also the experimental rules stamp, but at this point FW has said that doesn't really mean anything anymore and most people ignore it.

Once Fires of Cyraxus comes out (the next IA book that's supposed to bring a bunch of the HH/30k Mechanicum models into the 40k rules) they'll probably get their rules in an actual book instead of a pdf download, but that's not necessarily the case. A lot of FW units stay as digital downloads for years and some never get printed.
>>
>>50848530
>>50848551
Whats the difference I thought Forgeworld just made larger models and upgrade kits for GW

Do they have their own version of 40K?
>>
>>50848567
They do, but FW also publishes the rules for those models. GW does not. FW units pretty much never end up in a GW rules resource unless they get remade in plastic (see: Contemptor Dreadnought, Cataphractii Terminators).
>>
>>50848567
Yeah, they put them out as Imperial Armour books.
>>
>>50848567

GW doesn't put FW stuff in their books.
>>
>>50848561
Some people do. They can put out some insane pain but even the ones with shields are squishy and expensive. They're fairly broken in general, but the cost both in points and $$$ evens it out a bit. You also don't have a transport for them so a 300 point high threat unit footslogging with t3 is... yeah.

Main knock against them is that they don't fit in a Warconvo.
>>
>>50848567
They have their own books with unit rules called Imperial Armor that are fully compatible with 40k. Think of them as supplements with additional stuff that isn't in the standard GW range of plastic kits.
>>
>>50848585
>FW units pretty much never end up in a GW rules resource unless they get remade in plastic

Aren't all FW's stuff in plastic?

>>50848589
>>50848614
>>50848616
Are the IA books in the OP?
>>
>>50848567
Also, since you're probably still confused, just think of it this way - FW books are supplements just like any other supplement, except that they're specifically to create rules for the models FW makes so that you can play them in 40k. After all, while FW models are cool and all, people aren't going to buy as many if they aren't actually part of the game and playable in any old list.

>>50848616
Basically this.
>>
>>50848628
>Aren't all FW's stuff in plastic?

No, they work only in resin.

>>50848628

AAAAAA IM JUST CONFUSED AND DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE
>>
>>50848628
Resin is not plastic, anon. The molds don't last as long, but they (are supposed to) provide finer detail. Plastic is way better when you want to churn out a ton of models that are easy to assemble, which is why GW uses it for most of their products now. Resin is for highly detailed characters and high-end hobbyist models.

Resin is also a trickier material to work with as resin dust is very dangerous if inhaled, the material can bend or warp if heated (which is actually an important part of assembling some FW resin kits, particularly ammo feeds), and it has the possibility for defects like air bubbles that can ruin a cast.

Remember when everyone was so happy that GW was making plastic MkIV and now MkIII space marines for Horus Heresy? The reason is because resin is expensive and a bitch to work with. You can get better results, but with how good plastic is these days the tradeoff is minimal compared to how much easier they are to do.
>>
>>50848628
>Are the IA books in the OP?
yes. pdfs.

>>50848661

FW is just fancy shit for 40k.
>>
>>50848661

So I got my first knight and I plan on fielding him as a paladin (magnetizing everything in case I change my mind down the road) as a part of my IG army that's, surprisingly enough, tank heavy. My army uses Steel Legion models and they are the 138th regiment. My problem I'm having now is figuring out which knight house will be good. I started considering Taranis but I feel like it'll look like a lot of other knights in regards to paint scheme and house. Does anyone know some cool knight houses that are admech aligned?
>>
>>50848665
GW was also shit at Resin, and remains so based on the new SoB resin.

fucking Finecast I swear to god
>>
>>50848616
>>50848666
>>50848646
>>50848677
Thanks guys, I think I get it now

>>50848686
I thought they stopped Finecast?
>>
>>50848695
They released that new Canoness in finecast. Not sure why.

But Celestine and pals will be plastic.
>>
>>50848686
>GW was also shit at Resin
Because they want it to be non-toxic. You don't have to worry about sanding finecast.
>>
>>50848665
>>50848628
Oh, also one other thing. Part of the reason FW does resin instead of plastic is because for smaller runs it's MUCH cheaper to engineer. Doing the design and CAD work for a multi-part plastic model sprue is a lot more involved than the individual resin bits that all have their own feeds into the cast, and the plastic casts themselves are pretty expensive to do - so, basically, GW does not do a new model in plastic unless it thinks it can sell a lot of them. FW can afford to do something crazy in resin that few people are going to buy since they can make them to-order and the engineering overhead is a lot cheaper.

>>50848686
Also, this. It's gotten (a lot) better than when they first started doing resin characters but FW is still better. FW will also send you a new cast if you get a fucked up one and send them pictures of the defects; you can sort of do that with GW, but it's more of a pain in the ass.

>>50848695
They just don't call it Finecast anymore, but that's branding. Finecast was just a type of resin casting. They still do most of the online-only character models in resin.
>>
>>50848702
>Not sure why.
She was supposed to be Limited Edition. No point in making an injection mold for a limited model.

>>50844973

>>
>>50848716
How come they made her not limited? Demand before release?
>>
>>50842936
Yes, because then you could force the vehicle to fire snap shots, immobilize it, or remove one of its weapons.
>>
>>50848723
That's actually a pretty cool idea. I may copy that for my next army.
>>
>>50848723

You need to get a Vindicare and covert it up as an "ork sniper" right now.
>>
>>50848734
Basically. She sold out instantly and tons of people complained to them on facebook about how limited her release was.
>>
>>50848734

No idea. Sucks that the other limited shit can't be ordered online later like her. This is the first time something like this has happened with a special limited unique model.
>>
>>50843621
Give the vets and (if they get it IDK) tempestus radios so they can call in better artillery from the emp's wrath. It's five points for twin-linked arty support. You want it.
>>
>>50848734
Demand and outcry I imagine. I think they've been low-balling how well any new Sisters release would do for a long time because not many people have been collecting sisters... but there's decent evidence for the case that there's a large "would buy" market if they finally ported the line over from metal. This is speculation, but it would seem that demand is vastly higher than they conservatively estimated and they realized they could make a lot more money if they made more of them available.

They also said long ago that no one was ever getting "squatted" again, but over the last year with no comment from GW and model after model no longer being available Sisters players were starting to get worried. That in turn turns off potential new collectors that don't want to pick up old, expensive, lower quality metal models if the army isn't even being supported properly. Even the tiniest sign of actual support for the faction convinced a lot of people that have been waiting on the sidelines to pick Sisters up that now might actually be the time.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether they'll get any plastics other than Celestine and her little sisters, and if they don't I imagine that enthusiasm is going to taper off fast and hard. The rules are still pretty mediocre at best, so unless they finally get plastics that people are excited to build and paint they're just not going anywhere as a faction.

There's also the FW "Titan Tech Priest" model. It's a bit more detailed and I think a bit bigger than a normal Techpriest; either the art for a named HH character is based on that model or vice versa.

He's a common stand-in for lower-ranked Magos Dominus or Magos Primes in HH games that you don't want to spend points on upgrading with all the craziness that's depicted in the Character Series models. I don't see why you couldn't do the same thing in 40k if you wanted someone a little less flashy.

They seem to be generally bad at estimating demand for anything that isn't already mainline.

Eg. the Dark Eldar release, the Tau release (both times), Genestealer Cults, now Sisters.

In previous years I'd blame their lack of engagement with the community, but they're making inroads in that regard, so maybe we'll see less of these swift sellouts in the future.

I didn't mean like Fantasy, I meant how they keep calling it the Time of Ending, and how things are finally progressing and how shit is really going down now.
>>
>>50848809
To be fair it's financially irresponsible for a public company to overstock on a model if there's risk of it not selling well. Given that they hadn't done a new sisters release in so long I think they felt it was very difficult to predict where the enthusiasm level would be. It's a lot easier for us to say in hindsight "well duh of course it was popular!" when we're not making a product investment.

This is the same reason why when a popular new video game (particularly an MMO) launches the developer/publisher tends to buy fewer servers than they actually need - as long as the damage from a slightly rocky release doesn't hurt your sales too much it's a lot cheaper to spin up new servers than it is to pay off and shut down excess you didn't actually need.

Obviously, in this case they were so far off that it's fun to laugh at them, especially since it just confirms what a lot of people have been saying for a VERY long time - that the only reason Sisters aren't selling is because they have shitty metal models no one wants to buy and a half-assed codex that you can barely call a real army list.
>>
>>50848877
Ah, I see. Still it's good to have that out there, so many people who think it really is 40k end times
>>
>>50848860
That's the thing isn't it? Anything that's outside of their norm is swept up and sold out in seconds. They keep spitting out Marines and (to a lesser extent) Chaos and not really caring much for the other factions. Hell, look at Orkz and Nids. They've gotten 0 love and people absolutely love them. They're some of the best looking models GW has.
>>
>>50848901
For some reason, GW pushes marines harder and harder, and get more and more confused when people are tired of the marines and grab on to something else hard.
>>
>>50848921
Well, HH is still growing quickly. I think a lot of the marine fanbase has been focusing on Legions lately. It definitely is selling.

When DoWIII comes out and we see a new wave of people wanting to enter the hobby after playing the video game I think GW might end up kicking themselves for not making Orks more playable in the current edition. They're in the top 3 or 4 most iconic 40k factions, and yet they're considered flat out garbage by most players. Forget game design for a moment - does that seem like sane brand strategy to anyone? It's fucking insane.
>>
>>50848809
It's like the /TG/ equivalent to the Lion King for /co/.

>>50848993

I'm not putting BA models in my non-BA army. You might as well say Tyranid players are fine because GSC or CSM players are fine because Thousand Sons.
>>
>>50848984
You just got fucking heavy grav cannons on tac marines and devastators that currently define the competitive meta. Don't pretend the new devastator kit wasn't nice. The models are good and between the effect on tacticals in transports (see: battle company) and devs in drop pods (see: skyhammer annihilation force) they have a place in nearly any current space marine list.

Something tells me you just haven't been paying attention and don't play in a particularly competitive meta.
>>
>>50848993

Preferred Enemy (Blood Angels) is not the same as Preferred Enemy (Space Marines). If you're going to lump things together like that be more specific and say Imperials rather than Space Marines since they created two entire new factions for them.
>>
>>50849021
CSM are fine because Traitor Legions.

Nids aren't BB with GSC, but they do give you options. Bit different that one.

But come on, they're all Marines, regardless.
>>
>>50849036
>vanilla marine players should be happy when SW and BA get releases that can only be used in those armies

Lol.

>>50849049
>>50848984
What? Are you just talking about brand new models?
>>
>>50848984
>>50849027
Oh, also, there was that big new supplement this year that added formations and detachments and updated rules and relics for most first founding vanilla space marine chapters. Also, it added the most broken psychic powers in the game since invisibility, so broken that when chaos got new powers GW just copy-pasted them because they couldn't figure out how to top them or make people stop complaining about the OP ass shit marines get that no one else does.

Fuck, man, I like marines and you're making me mad. Vanilla marines have more variety and viable list options (at least outside the ultra-competitve metas) than any other army in the game by MILES. They are literally spoiled for choice. Like, shit man, vanilla marines get so much specific stuff for individual chapters now that it's pretty much several armies in one. How can you not see that?
>>
Does anyone have the tau codex on a tablet? The epud download from the OP link doesn't seem to work. The font is crazy out of proportion.

>>
>>50849069
>I don't use/pay attention to the meta, so marines don't get anything nice!

Probably this.
>>
>>50848835
Likely because they base their sales estimates on how many metal models they sell.

Problem is that everyone who plays Sisters has long since assembled their armies and only occasionally add new things. So the sales stay pretty low leading to GW shooting themselves in the foot.

On the flip side Marines always sell so they can accurately estimate sales when pushing those mutants.
>>
>>50849085
I suppose if you don't buy new releases it would appear that there are no new releases.... as long as no one else you play ever buys them either...
>>
>>50849087
It's odd because I hear people say they love SoB all of the time, especially with CIA just released. I knew at least four anons posting non stop about wanting to start up sisters on here alone.

It's just unfortunate that the best way to play the game is to not fund the company, and get stuff from places like eBay and Warstore. Where you're actually charged a halfway decent price.
>>
>>50842858

Honestly, if GW revamped the entire sisters line in plastic current sisters players would buy a lot of them, and some guys would flat out replace their metal armies. GW plastics are fantastic right now and seem to get better every release (even when the rules don't), and anyone that's stuck with a faction this long would love to build and paint something that's new and actually interesting.

The craziest thing is that there's really not even that many unique models needed for a Sisters re-launch. Vanilla bolter bitches, special weapons for flamer, melta, heavy flamer, multimelta and heavy bolter, boom, one box covers the core BSS, command squad, Dominions, Celestians and Retributors. Another box for Seraphim and one for Repentia and you're pretty much done. Yes, there's other stuff like the various ecclesiarchy units, but for most armies the vast bulk of your infantry is still sisters in power armor with bolters and special weapons. The vehicles are still something of a problem I've heard, but even if all they did were those core infantry boxes it would sell like crazy.

>>50849194
Yes. Also, 7th Ed Devastators kit with new weapons, Assault Marines kit with new eviscerators, and Tacs get Heavy Grav w/ Grav Amp (from the Devastators box). Also BaC MkIV plastics and BoP MkIII plastics - sure, they're HH, but lots of people use them for vanilla marines, too.

Basically, anon has no idea that Space Marines got a new 7th Edition codex with a ton of crazy shit in it, much less the Angels of Death supplement that added even more.
>>
So can Jokaero from Imperial Agents only join a squad if you use the henchmen warband? It doesn't show him as a (character)
>>
>>50849200
>Vanilla marines can't use Thunder Wolves
>Or Death company
>Or Dreadknights

As much as I hate marines, calling them all the exact same isn't fair
>>
>>50849282
Yeah. The new warband formation basically replaces the old warband unit system. Given how the rules are written now it's probably better this way, but for the most part it ends up working the same way as it used to with their old codex.

They aren't exactly the same, but it all feels the same. Fighting pretty much any kind of Marine army is incredibly boring.
>>
>>50849290
GW says any Space Marine army can use those.

>Now, while there are no official rules for Cataphractii Terminators in Space Wolves armies, you can still use the datasheet for them found in Angels of Death. When we play with them in our Space Wolves force around here, though, we replace the Chapter Tactics special rule with the more Space Wolf-y Acute Senses and Counter-attack. Leman Russ approved – Enjoy!

>>
>>50849290
It's also kind of irrelevant because vanilla marines have gotten plenty of new shit exclusive to them that BA/DA/SW did not get. Well, I guess DA got the grav cannons, too, but you know what I mean.

>>50849316
A lot of the sentiment that "GW pushes marines" comes from FW making way more marine stuff than anything else because marines make up the bulk of HH releases and HH makes up the bulk of FW releases these days. If you factor in new FW stuff in the last few years (much of which does have 40k rules) the amount of stuff marines have gotten is actually pretty staggering. Even if you don't, it's attention spent on that faction rather than others, so people that only play xenos armies can feel slighted.

That said, I don't really agree with that viewpoint unless you play Orkz or Tyranids w/o GSC. Eldar, Necrons and Tau have gotten a fuckload of new stuff and the rules are insane; Tau in particular had a downright amazing release last year both in rules and in new and revamped models. If you do play Orkz or vanilla 'nids... yeah, the game is pretty fucking bleak right now.
>>
>>50849370
I never said Vanilla marines didn't have anything.
I said that they are different.

Honestly I think that they should roll BA SW and DA into the Vanilla marines codex

Agreed completely about the bolter bitches. I own at least one of everything GW has made Sisters related (even tracked down a recast of Ephrael Stern and one of those old school sticker banners for Argent Shroud) and would sell enough organs to make a new person from to have it all in plastic.

>>50849332
TIL that Sisters are Marines. Without chapter tactics, the need to test to get chapter tactic-eske rules on a unit once a gane, the need to spend points to do it more than once (at the risk of losing the option completely if the upgraded model dies first), a shrinking codex every release and a human statline on everything save for their save and BS stats.

Oh, and they're women.

But still Marines.
