I got

1 barracuda ax-5-2
not exactly gw, but an airbrush for painting and 2 paints

>>50896474
I bought myself the DW battleforce, codex, datacards and DW half of each boxed game sets

Why were the legions given a number that doesn't match the order they were discovered? Horus was the first primarch to be found by the Emperor, yet they are the 16th legion?

>>50896518
They were given numbers by the order of their test tubes. The legions were created and given those numbers before the primarchs were re-discovered.

>>50896474
Imperial Knight arriving tomorrow, trying to work up the motivation to finish my last 5 Skitarii Rangers so I can start on it when it turns up.

Also a bunch of basing stuff and paints, so I can hopefully make my Admech (my first army) bases that aren't featureless void discs.
Saving up to start a second army now, so I can spend some time on titivating this one. Just finished Skitarii #15, though, and they're damn fiddly for a new painter as far as I can tell.

>>50896518
Numbered after the emperor's test tubes.

IIRC the higher the number the more the Emperor tweaked them.

>>50896518
It was the one crafted from their Primarch's gene-storage on Terra. They were always destined to lead their specific legion, because that legion was being pumped with the remaining gene-seed from square one

>>50896461

Does anyone else have the burning desire to stick a fully assembled and pro painted Magnus The Red figure up their own lubed ass?

>>50896474
I got Magnus, Scarab Occult Terminators, and a cutting mat. This was a awesome Christmas. I get some time tomorrow to begin painting.

>>50896658
Swap the Venom Cannon for a Barbed Strangler on the Warriors.

You know yourself how competitive the list is so no need to comment on that. Without the Snotpod for the Zoans it might be better to just take Hive Guard. You'll need something to pop transports early to ge thte use out of the biovores.

heres what im thinking

>>50896658
Looks good. It'll perform just fine as long as your opponent is also playing a fun list. It probably won't do too well against a Riptide wing.

>>50896711
Yeah i was thinking about that, and i think the Guard models look really cool

>>50896658
>>50896711
Maybe drop the second Tervigon and his Termagants to get two min sized Termagant objective holders, a Snotpod for the Zoanthropes, and then some Hive Guard also.

Tervigons are nice supporters but I couldn't justify two of them since the last update.

>>50896461
So, I may have just discovered a pretty big strategy GSC can do.

You know the Broodcoven formation? The one where the Patriarch, Magus, and Primus all act as one unit? Well, in the insurrection detachment's rule Numbers Beyond Counting, it says any time a unit goes into ongoing reserves, it may replenish d6 units previously slain. So, this means that if, say, the Patriarch was slain in the Broodcoven, you could Return to the Shadows and get him back easily.

The only question is, does he come back at full wounds, or just one?

>>50896474
I got a Neophyte Armored Claw, a GSC Leman Russ, new measuring tapes, and a hand drill.

>>50896873
Yes GSC are rather OP do not get fooled about the fact they are melee in shooty edition.

When you reliably assault turn 1. Being melee in shooty edition stops being a problem

>>50896723
If it's Wraithtime, drop the third Windrider squad and get another Spiritseer.

What are the current rules for the forge world ork stuff? At one point there was an update to the IA8 rules in the FW download section, but it doesn't seem to be there anymore and you can't buy IA8 from them either. Does this mean a second edition is coming 'soon'?

Also, they stopped making the kill krusha? Does anyone know a recaster who still does them?

>>50896723
where are your wraithplanes and wraithseer?

>>50896912

feel bad taking that many bikes

>>50896997
If you're feeling merciful you can shave it down further to Rangers for slightly more defensive backfield camping.

>>50896930
Has another point, see if you can bear to part with a Wraithlord for another of those toys.

>>50897039
only taking them cause i feel like hte list might be a bit too slow for objective games

also thinking about taking wraithplane formation because antiair

>>50896873
Cool trick, but return to shadows is fairly easy to deny. I still don't think I'd run Broodcoven.

actually it's terrible at anti air because it has blast weapons, if you want anti air take a few eldar missile launchers since they come with the skyfire missiles for free

Are death guard fun? I've seen people say they're OP but can they stand up to Tau, eldar and the like?

>>50897252
you know that 4chan is used in places besides the US, right? english might not be his first language

Probably stupid question: Is there a way to field multiple space Marine Captains and a chapter master outside of an Apocolypse game? It's probably pointless to ask, because the cost of fielding 2-4 demi-companies and a 1st company task force is Apocolypse range anyway.

>>50897252
I blame autocorrect. Specially when you casually use 2 to 4 different languages.
My case Spanish, English, Portuguese and Korean. Enjoy as the phone struggle to autocorrect that mess

>tfw you win so hard it feels bad

Played a game against my brother to test his Thousand Sons he recently bought, 930 points each. I played vanilla CSM. I trounced him handily, taking down a third of his army in the first round of shooting and doing enough damage in round two that he conceded. His psychic phase was fucking incredible though, wrecking two rhinos and half a squad of CSM.

Still, he was pretty upset. How do you handle someone who's butthurt over losing? We're usually good sportsmen, but I was kinda sad too because he'd spent so much cash on them and lost hard on his first try.

>>50897306
We laugh it off and have a second game.

ya know, i got a degree in english and i can't be bothered to capitalize words or use periods online

Our local Necron player tryies to waacfag hard, but he is so bad that he always loses.

Me playing SoB and my friend with Orks try stupid list and see how silly or bad list we can make and still win.

Still trying to figure if it is possible to table Necrons by turn 3 with SoB or Orks. Right now turn 4 is my record.

TL:DR some people are just bad

>>50897321
I use periods, commas, apostrophes, ellipses and linebreaks almost religiously.

That I tend to rely on guessing and feel as for what goes where is another matter entirely.

Thank you, I will consider those options.

>>50897712
Thing is, you're never to get a riptide into melee if the tau player has half a brain and it has weapons that are S7+

>>50897911
the typical riptide loadout is SMS and the burst cannon. would suck balls against death guard, even with double firing riptide wing

Is there a website where I can test out formations to see how effective they may be against varying targets?

>>50897911
they're not that fast

>>50897959
mathhammer or shoot the shit here but remember that's just the average roll, you might end up with a game where you roll double 1s or 6s for warp storm each turn

>>50897958
Double firing riptidewing with markerlight support (hits on 2+, ignores cover) and activated heavy12 rending shots would do umm.

72 shots
60 hits.
40 wounds, 10 rending.
13,3(+10) failed armor saves
15,333 dead marines after FNP.

Then SMS
24 shots
23.33 hits due twinlinked BS5
11.6666 wounds
3.888 failed armor saves
~2,6 dead marines after FNP.

So double tapping riptidewing pretty much kills a 5man squad per riptide.

Am I insane for wanting to make assault chosen in a Dread Claw? I want to use a Claw with some kind of assault unit for my Night Lords because I'm apparently a masochist.

>>50897958
This. You need to be running ion and stripping cover to kill Death Guard effectively and even then they still get their 5+, reroll 1s, FNP.

>>50898055

How should I arm the chosen? Would it be better to use regular CSM with CCW? Termies?

>>50898170
No idea, I found the pic on google. Maybe the Raptors box set?

>>50898152
8 markerlights is absolutely right. No wait. 10 actually. 3x2 for ignores cover x3, +2 to get first riptide to hit on 2+ and +1 for next two to hit on 2+.

But with drone network thats not actually hard at all.

Also 12 getshot rolls. 2 wounds. Less if there are spare markerlight hits and you can bump your BS into 6.

honestly it wouldnt be worth spending markerlights on the marine squads. youd be using all of them on the bike deathstar. DG would be tough for a lot of tau lists since they get complacent and start spamming SMS + burst cannons and shit.

Am I wrong reading the rules, or can I really give up to 4 Heavy rock saws AND up to 4 demolition charges to a unit of 10 acolyte hybrids ? Because if so, it's party time.

Just getting into the game, started with space marines, got everything assembled and now need to pick a chapter scheme, but I'm needing some help with it. Apparently I'm just a garbage painter. The hard edge highlighting is impossible for me, and the only thing I'm really good at is drybrushing. I've tried black templars but I can't highlight the black, and the white on the shoulders always looks blotched. I seem to have trouble using red, yellow and gold paints, as they never drybrush well, and even basecoating look blotchy or too thick. Any suggestions for a terrible painter?

>>50898372
Yes. Its also 10 t3 5+ guys with 140pts worth of gear.

>>50898386
>Points
Hah.

>>50898422
I tried drybrushing a DA scheme on a model but ended up being really bright and looking more like a salamander

>>50897713
A few Carnifexs should do.

>>50898001
Only 10(+10) failed saves. And they reroll 1s on FNP. Ends up as about 12.2 and 2.37 unsaved wounds.

>>50898380
I guess you could try Ultrasmurfs. I'm not sure how red you could manage to fuck up red, though. Anyway, drybrushing is fine, especially for black. Just get the base coat down, drybrush with a bit of grey, and for white paint thin layers of grey first, then thin layers of white on top of the grey. If you fuck up and get it on the black, it's as easy as painting over that spot with black again.

Also, try the Work In Progress thread. The 40k General is more related to 40k lore and gameplay.

>>50897689
Helfrost guns are great. Thunderwolf Cavalry are also great. Wulfen are a goddamned abomination, with how killy and mobile they are--PLUS they buff other wolf units nearby. Wulfen can easily slay 2-4x their points in CC, & can be tough to kill even with shooting if they have TH/SS guys up front.

Wolves can shit out tables full of Dreadnoughts that have a 3+ invulnerable instead of guns, or have Frost Lasers or whatever.

Lots of special characters with high initiative & wacky special rules, some of whom just rampage out on their own.

Two upgrades per five models. So a 10-man squad could have four Saws, or four Demo Charges, or two of each, or whatever.

Do yo guys think that Fall of Cadia will include new IG formations? Any thoughts on what they might be if we get them?

>>50898723

>>50896474
3 Magnus the Reds. I ain't even mad.

>>50898755

Almost certainly and likely new models also. Well, the Basilisk needs an upgrade so I imagine if it gets a combo kit there'll be some formation where you take 3 Basilisks/Griffins/whatever else is in the box and get a bonus.

Leia has died, guys. Just letting you know.

>>50898755
I think this >>50898744
But if there's new formations, I want it to be focused on making the massed forces of the Guard good again.
Maybe something like Guardsmen are fearless if they are within 6 inches of another squad numbering at least 7 Guardsmen. Or units that remain stationary can fire an extra shot which can stack with the Rank and Fire rule to put even more lasers down range.

I have a new Space Marines player just getting into the game, and he's ordered a Solar Auxilia Storm Hammer. I can't seem to find anything saying it's a LoW option for Space Marines. But I could also be retarded.

Real talk: why the fuck did whoever made the /tg/ Edition of Codex: Tyranids keep Cruddace's fucking stupid re-writes of Instinctive Behavior? It needlessly adds complexity & is still detrimental, featuring apex predators of the universe literally killing themselves instead of their enemies.

Why not skip rolling on the table altogether & just make it Leadership test that makes the unit move to assault, run for cover, or stand & shoot? Way easier & faster.

Fucking Cruddace KYS, Jesus.

Engineer who was part of the project defected but was forced back. He secretly did a hidden weakness into the design.

>>50898889
The heroine's dad, who designed the thing, deliberately faked being broken and resigned to a life helping the Imperials with the weapon so he could build in a weakness.
That also meant that his entire life's work was building the Death Star and then destroying it, which feels nice and poignant. I like it.

>>50898889
Same reason there'd so few guardrails and all essential system hagd off ledges, involve massive Electric discharges, has huge crushing pistons or are exposed to the elements.

Coercing the people that design your shit is retarded, In my head canon it' also the reason stormstoppers can't hit shit and their armour offers no protection from small arms fire.

>>50898962
You want at least 1 vet squad per 2 guard squads
Command squad should take a medi pack
You'll want a lord commissar
Stormtroopers are essential, give them a metal box to wheel around in
Sentinels are often overlooked but can tear the shit out of an unprotected flank
If you can afford it, chuck in a Russ that's geared towards killing the enemy your likely to encounter

>>50898962
Start Collecting box for both Guard (aka Astra Militarum) and Scions (aka Militarum Tempestus) are good. The units themselves are solid and they come with a "datasheet" that gives you bonuses if you use the units right out of the box.

Both of those boxes together would probably hit about 750.

>>50898978
>and their armour offers no protection from small arms fire

This is common to pretty much everyone in the setting. Blasters are so powerful that only the heaviest of armour can protect against them, and even then, only for a couple of shots. Stormtrooper armour isn't all that different from Flak in 40k - it's intended to deflect shrapnel and glancing hits from slugthrowers, and giving them heavier gear isn't cost-effective when you need to armour so many troops.

>>50899011
Yes, any human can be. The only reason Genestealers don't do it with Astartes is that they don't breed, so it's straight to KILLKILL with them.

Go ahead & make your Cult Commissar, anon.

>>50899050

Because /tg/ designing by committee was a horrible idea.

My rewrite of Nids condensed the IB sub-types from Lurk/Hunt/Feed down to Lurk/Kill and replaced rolling on the table with a table based on the margin of failure for the leadership test, so that you only needed to roll the one time and check the result, and higher leadership bugs were more likely to end up with the less drastic results even if they failed..

>what is the Galactic Padishah Empire
The Imperium resembles Dune more than that Star Wars shit. To the point that the Dune Galactic Empire is literally called the "Imperium" throughout the books. It involves many houses that run themselves in differing ways despite all being loyal to the Emperor (kinda' sounds like something, dun it?) and they even had a war against thinking machines and forsake advanced AI.

Lads, I've finally managed to get my fiancée into the hobby. She wants to start playing 40k. She spent the past hour gushing over how great Slannesh daemons look and how cool it's going to be to paint them. She wants to go to our local GW to get her free Marine and learn to play. All it took was a trip to my former FLGS where they had a display of daemons and Sigmarines and shit. She says she's torn between DEldar and Slannesh Daemons, but loved my new Celestine. Any advice I should give her beyond thinning paints?

>>50899481
That's because I'm putting it on hold until 8th edition so it isn't immediately rendered obsolete.

2017 marks the 30th anniversary of the Warhammer 40,000 setting, and to celebrate, we have the best narrative in 40k history, which will set the scene for the next 30 years of the setting.

I'm just getting started with my GF as well. My advice would be to paint with her so she can see what's going on and how you are doing it.

>>50899260
No. Not at all. 40k is first and foremost WHFB in space, and WHFB is most definitely not influenced by star wars. And while there are many different settings that helped influence 40k, star wars was definitely not one of them

>>50899550

Salamanders and Flamers go hand in hand. So throw in Heavy Flamers.

>>50899542

Deldar have tons of peircings. She would probably really like the whyches set because of all the customization options and the amount of ladies in the squad. Start her out with that and go from there once she finishes.

Also me and my gf are into kink and I was thinking of creating a few bondage whyches out of green stuff just to see how good they look.

If that's true, I'd say Deldar. Scourges can have wings, and will probably offer a bit more variety compared to Daemonettes. Heck, could potentially even do a neat conversion with Celestine and Deldar bits for a mega-scourge character type thing.

>>50899394
>>50899496
More on that, beyond 40k copying a war against thinking machines/AI and banning their use while replacing them with biological agents that do those jobs in their place, the term "lasgun" is featured throughout Dune in reference to laser weapons. It doesn't take a genius to figure out where GW got their own laser-weapon name from.

On top of that, the Imperium of both 40k and Dune is a highly religious organization, something that doesn't feature into Star Wars at all.

On the bright side, if they fail utterly to fix the game, it opens up a window of opportunity where the community will be more accepting of an alternative ruleset, so the project might actually gain some serious momentum.

If they can at least fix the core rules though, it will make my life a hell of a lot easier. I would much rather just rewrite the Codices.

>>50899592
>Looks like I've been cheating for years and nobody noticed.
If nobody cares enough to call you put and you didn't know, then who gives a fuck? Just get your opponents permission next time or just don't take it.

>>50899527

>>50899619
What makes you and your butt buddies more qualified to rewrite everything while ignoring /tg/ expect to suck your collective dicks?

>>50899549
That comes down to codex balance though, not the core rules.
The BRB is for the most part fine, as shown by 30k, it's the fact that you have stuff like orks and stuff like eldar that's the real problem.
In a perfect world 8th removes the unnecessary bloat while adding a bit more complexity for better opportunities to actually employ tactics and strategies, and fixes assault and vehicles.
And then every codex is given the internal balance of craftworld eldar, the fluffy and powerful formations and rules of C:SM, and the customizability of a codex that has great customizability.
But unfortunately, this world is far from perfect. But GW is definitely trying, so we might get at least an attempt at that.

Hey, how is the Pyromancy discipline against MEQ and TEQ? How is it in general?

>>50899672

Magnus preview incoming

I want to play Blood Angels but I think that Space Wolves utterly outclass them in every way. They get CCWs at +2 PPM and TWC and Wulfen are just flat out better than anything Blood Angels can bring.

I try to tell myself that STR 5 and IN 5 on the charge will do more damage before Wolves can hit back but there's nothing in my army that can stop the TWC rape train from plowing through everything I have on the board.

Someone tell me why you'd choose Blood Angels over Space Wolves.
I like the look and storyline and play style of Blood Angels more than Space Vikings but their rules are just flat out inferior.

Why would each guard regiment take part in the Cadian campaign? Do you think GW is going to include and involve each Guard army? It's more likely they'll create and sell separate campaigns dedicated to each specific regiment.

Let's be real here, there's going to be a Warzone: Armageddon campaign in 2017/2018 with the steel legion rules. The same will apply to Catachan and Tallarn specific rules.

>>50899792
As a blood Angels player i want to tell you to play Blood Angels for the fluff its the only reason i play them.

>There's a difference anon, honestly it just seems like the GW writers are too lazy to do a xenos vs xenos box set.
First of all they have released xeno vs xeno box sets. Secondly it's not laziness, it's truly just that marines are both the protagonists of the setting and often times the best ones to put in a box set.
>all the horus heresy stuff
Who are they supposed to do but marines?
>deathwatch overkill
GSC are really only a threat to the imperium, and it makes the most sense for deathwatch to fight them
>battle for vendros
Why would GW not release a starter set with marines? That's both long standing tradition and arguably the most appealing to newcomers. Orks vs marines is a classic.
>kill team
once again, starter set. Also, most other factions don't really have a problem woth the tau, so it wouldn't make sense to have anyone else fight them
>CoTW and WoM
Who are the 1k sons supposed to be mad at but the yiffs?
I could go on, but I think I've made my point. It's just how the setting works.

I'm going to be casting a small Mordian force soon.

What, a fucking picasso pose?

>>50899837
There is no question that being able to rapid fire, overwatch, and still get +1 attack in an assault is better.
Don't even get me started on the Hunt/Kill table of cheese.

>>50899880
speaking of made to order why are all the made to order space marine stuff absolute shit?

Hey, don't forget the rest of the non-marine non-ally tier imperial factions that haven't had a release, like my Admech, and..... actually that's about it. I don't even play any other armies that aren't Admech and a little bit of Inquisition, Xenos need new toys.

Give Cawl good rules, nice FW toys in IA14 and a few more units, like a Skitarii flamer squad, a transport with a few fire points, a flyer that can drop in Skitarii like Valks, or just Admeched Valks, and then eventually a combined codex and I'm happy, and it looks like most of that stuff is happening.

Admech vs. Guard box set? With Chimeras that can be made into an Admech vehicle as well with an upgrade sprue, and then just Xenos stuff that isn't Tau. Not sure how you'd fluff loyal Guard vs loyal Admech, though, and I can't see GW making the guard traitors or the DarkMech models at the moment.

>>50899902
Bit late, tech-brother, but I agree with the sentiment.

>>50899892
probably all the molds they could find. All the rogue trader and 2nd ed shit ia probably lost forever

>>50899562
yeah so devs cant take heavy flamers the question still stands I feel as though theyd suit my salamanders more as id likely not have any units staying back with an assault army. Is this a fair point?

>>50899904
Space Wolves are always good because they are Phil Kelly's army. You think he's going to gimp himself?
Say what you will about Ward but at least he liked us.

Got some scions for xmas. Are they worth taking with volleyguns?

Or just throw melta/plasma on them and use as suicide squads?

Running then in an IG list.

>>50899921
Could go with Multi-melta devs. Might need a drop pod or transport in order to get them close though.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the Primus Redoubt Bunker itself?

I am considering to get the board and cutting the bunker out, so I can use it on any table and to have more freedom when placing it in my deployment zone.

this is why codexes need more than one main author like it shouldn't cost that much to higher a group of 5-10 different people per book. make sure they don't have any outstanding bias and then throw them into a area where they can play test and share ideas.

>>50899921
It is. Although, Devs with Space Wolves (for example) can lay down some decent fire while you move your assaulters forward. Risk it for a biscuit and bring heavy bolters and plasma canons.

Stop forcing it or nobody is going to believe it. It's like you don't know how to meme

Which Chaos God would be best for a Sorcerer+Demonic steed?

Also, is there any reason not to go Mastery Level 3 if you've got the points? I mostly see Mastery Level 2 with a few weapon upgrades instead, but I'm not sure why.

>>50899581
Sick. I recommended Harlequin and Sisters since I've already got a small Sisters army from way back when but she isn't into armor and thinks the models are ugly. I think she's going to go with some Slannesh Daemons with hot girl cultists and maybe some ECs if the Daemon Fulgrim looks cool. She likes the glam metal look and the half naked hot evil bitches, but hasn't really seen much DEldar since the store we were at didn't have any painted models.

She thought Hesperax was hot though, if a bit vanilla. That's been her big complaint with the ladies, that they're kinda vanilla and boring or have bad faces. I told her that if she wants to make them more to her standards, no one would complain.

She also said that Glam Metal Space Woofs would be cool. I didn't really know how to take it, but I kinda agree. I might make a squad of KISS Woofs, or maybe Van Halen Woofs. That could be a fun conversion if I made them noise marines.

>>50899914
SoB, Dark Eldar and Orks are waiting.

Hell the Cadian plastic kit is almost a decade old

Which adds insult to the injury to SoB models

SoB are getting new stuff, that's why I didn't include them. Orks and Deldar are both Xenos last I checked.

Cadian kit is atrocious, though. Got a squad to make into Inquisition chumps and it was a real pain, especially that mouldline right on the earmuff bump on the helmets.
I just want my army list to be fleshed out a bit so I can stop allying in Inq Chimerae and Coteaz and praying for first turn every game.

>>50899969
The hell do you want then? Single authors writing the entire codex? That has gone great so far look at the difference between the nids and the eldar.

Anyone ever use Game Plus carrying foam? I'm thinking about getting some half off.

>>50900025
Oh fuck.
I should really know that 5 repeating digits are quints, seeing as I took latin for 8 years.
I've failed my magister. Soduku is my only option.

Hey, im new to this whole thing but when you make a homebrew chapter can you:
Use it in games workshop or local tournaments? Or do you need to make official marines?
Does the homebrew chapter need to be successors of a known legion, or can they have unkown origins?

Reason im asking is because i love the flesh tearers scheme but theyre too cqc for me. If i could find a way to make them bolter using i would. Iron lords is similar but just doesnt cut it.

Pls help.

One person writing the rules, but with forced play testing, making sure the person actually like and understands the army their writing, and someone who actually knows how to write a good book, like Ward, overseeing it all.

>>50899949
I want them to release free beta versions of the rules to their fans. We test them then they use our feedback to tweak balance. I'd even be cool if they made an app that has the complete rules and stats and shit and they use codexes to primarily house fluff, painting tips, and such. Keep crunch and fluff separate so they can both thrive.

>>50900094
So long as you make it clear which rules you're using, I doubt anyone gives a fuck.

>>50896474
I got a rhino from my local stores secret santa
A razorback from one of my employees
And I got my daughter a AOS starter box, so I get the sigmarines and she gets the heretics.

Considering the only vehicle I had was a lone drop pod I cant complain, i was given shit I actually needed.

>>50900070
Sadly as far as we know for sure only Vyridian, Celestian and her two twin girls. That's it.

The pictures of the book with models that included SoB only had the old metal models and Celestin.

Like always unless you can put on some drunk college girl's ass a plastic SoB model there isn't going to be new stuff. Decade of rumours with totally legit next date kind of makes you doubtful of anything.
