I'm the fag that drew on this box. I had read some of the cool kid's Fantasy codices way back in the 5th grade in the 90s, but hadn't paid any attention to the series since like 92. Fast forward, and my coworker/manager has, out of nowhere, fallen back in love with 40k very hard.

It was slow one day (Ice cream store in the winter) and he had mentioned a space-marines and nids box set he had been looking at, as well as a bunch of other things. Eventually it got to the point where someone should be sent home, and he told me I could go home if I gave him a Warhammer 40k Box Set.

Despite my efforts, I did not get to leave early. Again, I hadn't looked at a 40k box in like 25 years, this was from memory. I may have been remembering Star Craft, though.

It's like they've never looked at anything Japanese before. Japan is the biggest offender of over cluttered designs.
>>
>>51109614
you really need to playtest an army to get a feel for what needs to be changed, and your edit still feels too top heavy with two knights
>>
>>51109879
I really like it but I hate how huge the new models are, it makes them difficult to use in games and very hard to transport.
I like to bring a list for all four gods and I bought a big case for all my models but it's at maximum capacity right now so there's no way I could bring this thing along.

Well, that and I'm really not feeling Tzeentch daemons anymore after the WoM update to pink horrors.

One cannot say is a bad model, but as other said, is very big and I cannot stand how GW produces bigger and bigger models.

Good point. i'm gonna say no because of their roles and the fact this kit makes the Loc and Fateweaver.

Aura of Oppression – “Forces an enemy unit to take a pinning test. Even if passed, they can’t sweeping advance, can’t run, can’t make turbo boosts, can’t fire overwatch. Can augement to warp charge 3 versions that turns it into an AoE that effects all enemies with 12″ of her.”
>>
>>51110279
Causes a pinning test, if they manage to avoid pinning they still can't run, sweep, turbo boost or overwatch for a game turn. Has a powered up version that applies the effect in an AOE.
>>
How do you all feel about the Pink Horrors "Split" rule from Wrath of Magnus?

>>51110170

If he takes an ultramarines skyhammer then it doesn't matter. One squad shooting at the facing with a shield will do about 2.7 hullpoints worth of damage.
If he's smart and parks a second squad behind the knight and one in the front, then the moment he puts down the pods the knight is already dead.

Does the penetrating hit caused as the result of an unsaved 2-5 or a 6 on the destroyer table roll on the vehicle damage table as well? If so, does it keep the D ap, so it can potentially trigger off an It explodes! result and cause a max of 15 damage to a superheavy?
>>
>>51110415
>Source
The YouTube video on the Warhammer community page via Dakka.

Cawl was yesterday, Celestine is likely tomorrow.

Cawl:
>Cawl has a Scryerskull, Arc Scourge, and Mechadendrite hive as wargear...that means nothing tho as it's just names.

>For special rules he has both canticles rules and FNP. He's stated to have some kind of "melta beam attack that can shear a vehicle in half" and that the canticle of the archmagos affects all imperium vehicles, so he's a useful ally, but its effects are increased if he's with other cult units.

>The canticles of the archmagos can add an invuln save, increase BS, and restore HP to vehicles in the area, among other things.

>Generally quite vague, but it seems that cawl was designed to work as an ally unit, which makes sense since he's in a formation with 2 different races already.

New player question:

I've been reading about and collecting 40k for a while now, watched plenty of games on YouTube and a few in person, but I've never actually played yet, so I'm trying to paint up 500 pts of my orks to get a feel for the game irl. Would a list roughly like this be acceptable?

>HQ:
Warboss on bike
>Troops
Gretchin x10
Gretchin x10
>Elites
Tankbustas x10 plus nob
>Fast Attack
Warbikers x5
>Heavy Support
Looted Wagon

I'm playing around with the remaining points to kit everything out, maybe give the boss a relic. Tankbustas go in the wagon, boss goes with the other bikes. I'm trying to keep the list fully mechanized, kind of a Fury Road-inspired roving gang of vehicles. I plan to add plenty of boyz in trucks at high point levels, but I have the tankbustas and looted rhino pretty much done right now.

So I'm just getting back into 40k after dropping it during 5th edition, and I'm struggling a little with the concept of formations and detachments.

Are formations something you MUST have? Can you play without them? From what I can see, detachments are basically like the old force org charts.
But if you were to play, say, an Inquisition army, could you have your warband and then some other formations? In the absence of formations, how would a warband work in relation to detachments?

Might seem dumb, but I could really use a hand understanding this.
>>
>>51110763
all of the models in that box are great in their own right and would be good for conversion material if nothing else, especially for people who want to make some female inquisitors.
>>
>>51110967
>desu I feel Celestine and her crew are the worst models in the box

Not because they're bad, but really can't be converted to anything other than themselves

>Daemon Prince of Slaanesh using Celestine's model? Yay or nay.
>>
>>51110143
Drop the Storm Bolter in the Immolator gets Dozer Blade.

Seraphim squad has 2 extra Seraphim. 8 is the correct number for deepstriking Seraphim plus Celestine. Mostly for footprint. The superior is there to take challenges for Celestine, so never give her gear.

If you are not using the Repressor with the Domion then give it to a full squad of Retribution squad. All the HB can shoot out of the box.

The BSS Immolator should have MM the Dominion should have HF but that is up to tastes. In the Dominions is mainly there to burn dudes popping from transports blown by the Dominion squad.
>>
>>51110947
Detachments are what get you Battle Forged. Warlord table, obsec
It's the only way to have a legal standard army since unbound (any model game type) is only played casually.

Formations are optional add ons that you take in addition to your detachment. Any amount can be taken but cannot be doubled, akin to named IC's. They act as allies in that way but still receive the benefits from your combined arms detachment. You can have formations and allies in the same force.

No they dont, they're two separate detachments that have their own benefits.

Is there a list on when new models are to be released?

Here's a bullshit rumor that isn't even remotely going to be true

1. Fall of Cadia is the prelude to what will be a global campaign over the summer - look for big build up after Tzeentch and then the campaign should start in ~4 months. It sounds like it's going to be global, he wasn't sure what format it would take (e.g., if it would be global with implications like the last black crusade campaign)

2. Lord Guilliman...will be making his arrival (return?) to the 40k sometime before that campaign kicks off. Didn't sound like there would be more primarchs than Guilliman and Magnus heading in but 4 months is a long time.

New player here, I got into 40k thanks to fluff and I have a smallish-sized dark eldar army that I've been having fun with.

I'm currently sitting at 1-1-0 with 650 point games(lost my first game to guardsman because they deployed a leman russ, and beat some nids despite swapping out almost all my weapons with anti-vehicle because I didn't know what half the keywords meant), and I'm just looking for input on playing tips for DE.

I currently have:
1 archon
1 Haemonculus
1 Hellion squad of 5
1 reaver squad of 3
4 squads of warriors(20 units total)
2 Venoms
1 Talos
1 Raider
1 Ravager

I discovered how much fun splinter cannons are in my nid game, but what else should I be looking out for and especially trying to pick up/do? And do you have any tips for what I should actually do when kitting out my units?

World Eaters, Black Legion, Iron Warriors. World Eaters are devoted entirely to the god of RIP AND TEAR. Iron Warriors don't give a fuck about your faggot gods and just want to lay sieges and fuck bitches. Black Legion, despite all the memery, are more focused on the Long War.

But let's face it, even the prissiest Emperor's Children fairy is manlier than anyone on /tg/, so take your pick.

I want to get into WH and have settled on Skitarii as my first faction. However, I've noticed there's a distinct lack of vehicles - Space Marines seem to have drop pods, tanks, aircraft, walkers, and everything under the sun, while Skitarii have the Dunecrawler, Dragoon/Ironstrider, and the flesh-tank whose name I forget at the moment.

Is that really all that there is? Am I missing something? Or am I fundamentally misunderstanding how vehicles work? I'm really hoping it's the third and I can use Imperial/etc. vehicles without having to play a different faction.

It can be, depending on how you ally, though oftentimes isn't. For example, there are plenty of formations that are just X Tanks. You could plop several Land Raiders or Leman Russes in to a force without much issue.

Superheavies might be a bit more tricky, aside from Knights. A Baneblade might require some basic guard troops as a tax, unless there's a formation I'm forgetting.

More tweaks to my Word Bearers list. They're fun to play as, surprisingly fast, and will smash stuff up.

Note: The Cultists are Fearless. The Lord joins one unit and the Sorcerer joins another unit. This gives the Cultists Objective Secured (since all Warband models have it) and Crusader so they can push for said objectives faster. I have enough Warp Charge to reliably get two summons each turn; depending on the opponent, I'll either do two Pink Horror summons, or two melee summons (Flesh Hounds, or any non-Bloodcrusher Incursion unit). My Sorcerer rolls Plague Wind, I'll roll for a second Nurgle Power; otherwise he will take Psychic Shriek. He takes Summoning in either case.

He got what he wanted. Revenge for Monarchia, the Truth and Gods whom he can follow and who would revard him.

Not really. Kor phaeron was the one who introduced him to chaos and erebus was the one doing all the legwork in corrupting horus. Lorgar was just led around by the nose.

The word bearers are quite similar to the death guard in that the leaders of the legion (kor phaeron/erebus, typhon) were the ones responsible for damning them to chaos, rather than their primarchs.

Also I dunno what the fuck I was thinking putting my Scouts up here in plain view. The one with the rocket launcher took a melta gun to the face, immediately retreated with the rest. They ended up being the only unit left alive and I just gave up before their inevitable overrun by zombies.

Although the next game I was like "heh heh I'm gonna blow the shit out of your zombie hordes", marine with the plasma cannon immediately melted and died. I think I forgot to do his armor save so that's my fault but he failed his FNP too.

We're not the only ones that just play til death or surrender, right? Something about a game lasting 3-4 turns and ending because of victory points just doesn't seem fun. My friend won the first game via zombie horde but was going to lose the 2nd game because I had his termies tied up with Death Company and like 2 squads of marines looking him down, one of which was being lead by my Librarian that screamed a squad of Chaos Bikers to death via Psychic Shriek. Was going to scream at zombies but after noticing he was about to run out of anything to take on my Dreadnought, he kinda gave up.

I'm new to 40k, sorry if this is a dumb question.

I picked up the Start Collecting Space Marines box set.

This counts as a standalone formation, right? Meaning I can't just add another unit of troops (or split my current 10 man Tactical Squad up into two five man squads) and be battle forged?

If not than it seems like it's a 350 point (at a bare minimum, over 400 with better weapon choices) investment just to get one unit to fire twice per turn if it doesn't move.

Is that worth it?

If you're playing a campaign, it can be great.

An overarching story told over a number of individual conflicts which determine the results of that story can be a neat exercise. And it can get you more invested in the story, game, and your own dudes.

Go for it. Concern yourself not for how nerdy the layman might think of it, but how you and your own group would enjoy it. I mean, people paint their tanks and specific units with special marks to represent particularly memorable kills and achievements, this is not so different.
>>
>>51114679
Firespear doesn't require 10 Tactical Marines. You can bring a 5man. Shaving 70pts off

Or you can run a Combined Arms with the TDA Captain and 2 units of 5 Tacticals as troops and a Ven Dread as an Elite.

Well, you will definitely run a tactical squad in every army anyway, a Captain is also pretty likely to be used and Dreadnoughts of some capacity tend to also be a good idea. It's a decent formation and double shooting can be pretty painful.

Remember that you can add this formation to the rest of your army as a separate detachment, meaning you could bring this in addition to your normal 1 HQ, 2 Troops, etc.

Well he has everything Chaos from the Dark Vengeance kit, a bunch of plague marines... and basically old models which he's converting to zombies. Also some old termies from like 10 years ago. He invested a bit in Nurgle Daemons but with the new DG rules he's switching his focus back to them. His Helbrute and my Furioso are the only vehicles we have atm so it's mainly infantry vs infantry. We don't do objectives, just kill atm.

>>51114679
>This counts as a standalone formation, right? Meaning I can't just add another unit of troops (or split my current 10 man Tactical Squad up into two five man squads) and be battle forged?

Its a formation, formations are a type of detachment and are battleforged. There's nothing in that formation saying they cant split up in two but if you add a second tactical squad then you're unbound unless you're using a Combined Arms Detachment in which case you would cease to use the benefits of the formation.

Something about these start collecting formations is that they dont have restrictions beyond what the formation is supposed to have so I reckon you could add a transport for the Dreadnought and Tactical squad.

It basically isn't worth it unless you have a powerful gun emplacement that you can use the captain to shoot twice.

Carapace armor is awesome, but I feel like I rarely ever get to use it. I also don't like how the army plays. It feels like I'm playing an army of nothing but veterans in a transport, or suicide deep striking.

They're more fun if you just take Tempestus Platoons in an IG army.
