Make their offense scary again. It would also be nice if PfP went back to rewarding Alpha Strikes(DE are good at this) rather than attrition(DE are terrible at this). Both of these things were true in 5th ed., and despite still being a fragile army they were very good.

>New Eldar toys soon edition

If the red armoured Eldar dude really is Arhra, I hope it paves the way for more PL models and they do away with the conventional PL statline. Demi-gods of battle with 10k years of experience and the combined skills and strengths of thousands of Aspect Warriors really ought to have better BS/WS than a generic Archon. Hell, if Illic and Lelith can net BS9/WS9 you'd reckon even older gestalts would be a clean 10, right?

Then again, with Belsarious Cawl out dueling dedicated melee heroes I'm not holding out much hope.

What are some other examples of fluff/crunch dissonance that grind your gears?

What exactly is an air superiority detachment:

Is any squadron-able aircraft available to be a flyer wing?

As an Ork player, let me tell you, Fear IS good. It's an absolutely devastating rule against melee focused armies, and even against shooty units its decent if you can close the distance, since it makes for a more devastating charge and less chance of injury.

The problem is half the armies in the game are immune to it, and most of the rest either have high leadership or are just so good that they don't care (looking at you Eldar and Tau).
>>

Everything in the army should get Scout. DEldar attacks come from nowhere, that's their whole MO. So everything in the army should be already moving by the time the battle starts.

>>51217770

Myself and many others agree with you and wonder the same thing. It isn't because of the design of the models, because old assault marines had running legs, and new assault marines/other kits have two part legs to remove the squat. Forge World also includes 2 running legs and 3 squatters for every 5 man marine kit.

Personally my army is almost entirely made of running leg from FW or assault marines.

Bikes are better for a number of reasons, but DG Termies are still quite solid.. FNP adds a lot to their survivability vs. both AP2 and massed fire.

Keep in mind that since they're I3 you want to go Power Axes for any power weapon you aren't upgrading. Personally I like three man squads with combi-melta and one chainfist.

Feral Worlds are hunter-gatherer-tier societies, while fuedal ones are medieval-tier. That's the main difference. In a Feral World the planetary governor likely rules from an orbital station and has very little to do with the planet itself beyond rounding up the most dangerous tribes to be conscripted into the Guard and controlling psykers, while a Feudal world is likely to be ruled in a more conventional fashion.

Pretty much. I've been playing since 3rd edition and while it's true that Chambers did a lot for the game, he doesn't deserve to be viewed with the sort of nostalgia which people regard him. He was obsessed with forcing the setting down a path of his choosing, and left in a tantrum when the higher ups told him he couldn't.

It was even more obnoxious than that. Chambers tried to spin it as the reason the Eldar empire fell even though that makes no fucking sense for a reincarnating race. Their entire problem was they were complacent and feared nothing.

>What do I need from here?
More models. The DA armored assault box would be a good deal (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Dark-Angels-Gauntlet-Tactical-Squad). Rhinos are good. But as for what else to buy exactly, that's up to you and what you want to play. When you're just starting out I'd pick a few things from each slot you like the look of. So in your case grab some Heavy Support. Maybe a Devastator squad, or Devastator Centurions.

>I know I want the dark green paint, what else?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfToNrfoDh4&list=PLEaPE4sLDA7vfhJu7igpMVEuwJzrMU5TK

The above videos will show you how to paint your dudes to a basic tabletop standard. Look at the other tutorials in the channel for ideas of where to go with advanced techniques to improve the shading and highlighting from there.

>Where would I go for building a decent army with em, to play outside the DV scenarios?
Most of this is just experience, but you may want to look at other peoples armies posted to forums like Dakkadakka or Bolter and Chainsword.

>Anything else I should pay attention to, or pick up?
Please learn the rules of the game and your army well.

When the Eldar culture first began to slide into degeneracy, long before the Craftworlds were launched, a number of Eldar grew disgusted with the path their society was taking. They abandoned their home systems and went to found isolated colonies throughout the galaxy, keeping themselves pure through hard, honest work. Those are the Exodites - after the Fall they developed a symbiotic relationship with their worlds, weaving Wraithbone through the planet and creating a 'world soul', basically a sort of gestalt sapience spread across the ecosystem. They trade with other Eldar, exchanging goods that can't be grown or manufactured on the Craftworlders in exchage for soulstones and protection when invaded, and are well known for raising and training large lizards for both food and war-mounts.

Basically, they're Amish/hippy Eldar that ride dinosaurs.

It's stupid to take it as fact in-verse because the harlequins stories are like water. They change with every telling adding details or removing to make the story more appealing to the crowd. They are not historical records they are shows and the entertainment is ore important than facts.

That story is just meant to show that the C'tan were there during the WiH and were a serous threat. Anything else is just space clown being showmen.
>>
>>51218467

You're still not actually addressing any point being made. No one is saying you can't hype up the new faction. They're saying you can't hype up the new faction in a way that makes no sense and pretends they've always been there whilst creating plot holes and necessitating retcons.

>You took it as fact that the Nightbringer was responsible for the fall of the Eldar.

I literally said the complete opposite. Twice. No one takes it as hard canon. It's a legend, but what the legend tries to suggest by saying, "the seed of the Eldar's downfall was sown, and ultimately, the way of reincarnation was closed to them forever", makes no sense and tries to fill a niche that never needed filling.

If the only response you can give to a legend is that it's probably wrong then it's worthless fluff isn't it?

Looking at Celestines blessings I've had an idea.

Take an Exalted Court of Imperial Knights, then take a barebones detachment that you can smack Celestine in. The wording of the LoW blessing is unique in that it lasts for the rest of the game. So start Celestine within 12" of the entire court and they all get IWND for the rest of the game.

Then just chuck Celestine at the nearest enemy I guess.

Never get a game ever/10?

>>51218503

At worst it gets you 6 inches closer. And an added bonus is freeing up more of your deployment zone. Generally when I deploy with a Green Tide list it's quite difficult to find room to put down my other units.

>>51218582
>Never get a game ever/10?

You're taking an Exalted Court. Anyone willing to actually play against that isn't going to be phased by IWND showing up.

So with Traitor Legions, is it ever worth taking Plague Marines over MoN squads?

Also, if you intend to footslog would it be better to take a heavy weapon rather than doubling up on special? Mechanised squads I would go double plasma/melta, but I sort of love the idea of an infantry horde slowly marching across the board to take advantage of relentless /FnP/maybe stealth.

since it appears there are old cron lore folks here I have a question that's been bothering me for ages.


The Necrotyr developed their hate for life because they are stuck on a radiation blasted armpit of a rock correct?

My question is how the necron because such a widespread threat if the grand total of necrons were a single planet's population that was converted by the C'tan.

I don't asume post transformed necrons had any way of reproduction, so the whole war in the heavens should have been on a very limited scale since the necrons were a finite force right?

If they could get off world and escape their planetary shitbed, and build vast empires, why go the full "fuck life, let's go to war with the eldar and Old ones!" if they were busy cultivating life through empire building?

I'm honestly curious about this, the newcron atleast give an half arsed political angle to work with if nothing else.

How can you say one thing and mean something else. Double think here people. The WD and Tau codex that introduced the Tau has an Eldrad quote that basically says that the Tau will take over the galaxy. Are you going believe that as well?

How can you lie like that? The first post shows your intention. You cannot change it

Anyways, they can hype a faction in whatever way they want. All factions get hyped up like the best thing ever. And ACTING?PRETENDING to be bothered by plotholes and retcons in a setting so rife with them because the author simply don't care is stupidity itself. You have no leg to stand upon. Oldcrons weren't the first or the last retcon. Certainly weren't the most sweping setting retcons out there. You have the HH series for that.

>then it's worthless fluff isn't it

Worthless in anything but the gist of it. C'tan are old. They are a threat.

God the English in your post.

You can download and read the goddamn Oldcron codex, you degenerate.

Suffice to say that Old-Necrontyr, who wretched and short lived, after meeting the Old Ones, who were immortal and magnificent, flew in a rage over the injustice of fate and started a war of genocide against the Old Ones.

The war went sour and then the Necrontyr found the C'tan Gods noming the stars. A few deals later, the Necrons were created. The trillions upon trillions of Necrontyr were transformed Necrons. The Necrons vastly outnumbered the Old Ones and their allied races and so the war went. The Old Ones drew more on the Warp to fight back but exploded. The Necron seeing their ancient enemies destroyed by their very own magics that granted them immortality felt vindicated that their cold science was superior.

The C'tan ordered everyone to sleep since the warp horrors were cleansing the galaxy of sentient life. The rest is history.

Speaking about lies.

Anon keep saying that the War in Heaven is what screwed the Warp and filled it with daemons and warp monsters. This is false.

The Old Ones constructed the Webway to circumvent the Warp which they viewed as dangerous (Talon of Horus). The Old Ones also built massive planet sized warp prisons to imprison and contain trillions of daemons and warp entities way before the War in Heaven happened (Traitor's Hate/Angel's Blade).

This shows that the Warp wasn't a cheerful and peaceful place as anons claim. But anons will keep saying that bullshit because it fits their C'tan/Necrons did it narrative.

Destroyer Lords and most lower rank Crons are effectively the old unthinking kill-bots. There's also no reason why you have to adhere solely to GW precedent, you can fluff your Dynasty/Tomb World as being under control of a C'tan shard and having the upper echelons filled with Destroyers if you want to recreate Oldcrons as closely as possible within the new lore.

The fuck? The Destroyer Lords and basically all destroyers are sentient and they can talk. In fact, they coo and laugh as they kill the living. A destroyer character was humming as he was flaying the living. They are lunatics.

Also the most important part of the Destroyers is that they don't acknowledge no authority save their desire to purge all life in the galaxy. They bend their knees to no one partly because they gave no knees!! This what I why you guys lie. You intetionally try to make the Newcrons something that they are not.

And I can can fluff my space marines as girl marines and fill them with ratling shotas and it would be as canon as a C'tan following dynasty.
>>
>>51218834
Because resin's fragile, toxic, and easily warps it can often be a pain to prepare.

Finecast in particular because GW had plenty of problems with their resin casts in the early days while they were still figuring it out. There were plenty of horror stories of bubbles, flash, and miscasts floating about online. I guess the reputation has stuck.

I think what pisses me off most about the new Thousand Sons rules, is that they do absolutely fuck all for regular Mark of Tzeentch Chaos Space Marines. +1 Invuln when Blessed does fuck all when only a tiny fraction of your army will ever be blessed.

So, what do you do for Thousand Sons legion rules that help Rubric Marines and Sorcerers but are also worthwhile for other Tzeentch CSM? I think giving everything with VotLW a 6+ Invulnerable would help, since that way all the power armor CSM would have at least a 5++, but that doesn't really help that much.

265 points. For one unit to be killed, before the DEldar unit gets wiped out turn 2 because you've put yourself in range. And the archon is probably warlord too, so even more benefit to shooting at the unit ASAP.

Oh boy, I sure do love paying more than a land raider to help the opponent win the game.
>>
>>51219175
>im really new to the 40k universe. why are people hating on the recent fall of cadia storyline?
Certain people like different stuff hate different stuff. Some people wanted Abaddon to be more badass/successful/personally responsible for the fall, some people wanted the storyline to be more logical as a military campaign, some people wanted Cadians Shock Troopers to be a bigger part, some people don't like women in their 40k. There's no one reason. Almost all fluff will have people who don't like it for one reason or another.

>is not as good as the ones before?
It's pretty typical writing wise. The events seem like they will matter more long term though.

>how often does such a development occur?
Campaigns have been occuring every year recently. But the past ones have mostly just been "Imperium wins at the last minute things go back to normal". A more advancing plot with lasting consequences is a new thing.

>is this now considered the 8th edition?
No. Editions are denoted by a new main rulebook release.

Abaddon is responsible for the Fall. He crashed the the moon sized remnants of the Blackstone Fortress in Cadia. Destroying the planet and ruining the Pylon plan.

That's why Abaddon tells Creed that the planets fate is sealed regardless of what happens on the ground.

Again: You get literally one turn if your opponent isn't suffering from a massive head injury. Because they'll realize "Hey if I so much as look at that unit with S7 weaponry, which every army is dripping with now, it'll disappear".

You get one turn to work, which is one unit deleted, before they get deleted themselves.

Yes, it's a unit that can do stuff. For one turn.

Strange question,
Should storm bolters be buffed?
I know a lot of units have the option for them but they seem to be really crap to the point where no unit outside a rhino uses them.

Its really a shame because terminators with storm bolters are so cool

I wanted to pick 40K but now I am not so sure...
>>
>>51219357
Sure, bump them up to Salvo 2/4. Makes them worthwhile as an upgrade for dakka Sergeants, gives Terminators an offensive output more commensurate with their cost, makes the Stormbolters strapped onto all Imperial vehicles less of a joke.

Then, just give Grey Knights their own special boltguns, like BA with the Angelus.
>>
>>51219357
I think Heavy Bolters and Storm Bolters could use a buff.
>>
>>51219374
>>51219376

And Heavy Bolters should be Salvo 3/5.
>>
>>51219374
Between psybolts and force weapons being canon, you'd think Grey Knights would have some way of buffing their own weapons through psychic powers of some kind.
That would probably require a new psychic discipline but hey, space marines already have like 4
>>
>>51219387
I think Heavy Bolters should be heavy but devs should be able to salvo them.

Maybe if they had some kind of explosive ammunition or pinning or something cool like that?
>>
>>51219387
Pretty much all of the Space Marine heavy weapons should be Salvo. Make all the single shot ones just Salvo 1/1, and make the Heavy Bolter Salvo 3/5.
>>
>>51219140

>>

wat

that's just Assault 1
>>
>>51219422
You can't charge after firing a Salvo weapon. It's a huge, pointless nerf that makes bolt pistols pure garbage.

And I say this as a xenos player who's only ever been on the receiving end of them.
>>
>>51219416

Can't charge, and it gives the weapons a variable range based on whether you moved or not.

I think it was more like Armless the Harmless pussed out like a bitch. It was only the Imperials overreaching that caused their own loss.

Don't buy centurions, dark angels can't field them. What you have to do is simply visiting gws website, clicking on warhammer 40k and checking the dark angels box on the left. Then pick the stuff you want and buy it somewhere else where you'll get %.

Abaddon was defeated by an old man missing an arm and a wounded, powerless and weakened woman.

>>51219422
Can't charge after salvo, also half range if move.
>>
>>51219467
Don't be a jackass. The Imperium had nothing to do with them losing. Abaddon crashed the Blackstone on their heads.

The guys who reported the pylon was the thing that caused Cadia to expolde were wrong. The Pylons didn't overload. The destruction of the planey caused the pylon network to shattered and the black beam that kept the Eye away to cease. The Eye surged worth and consumed Cadia.

Abaddon won but he couldn't break Cadia's spirit so he resolved into breaking its back into two literally.

>>51219404
>power creep has left X behind so let's buff X up to new extremes

Care to elaborate?
I met him last month and he seemed like a nice fellow.
>>
>>51218228
Can you elaborate on Chambers' path that he wanted to force 40k down?
I started playing in 3rd edition, so I don't have an idea of how Chambers changed things.
>>
>>51219564
If DE are dismounted they're probably in enough trouble that d6" of movement won't help them.
>>
>>51219544
I think heavy bolter devs have always been left behind autocannons and lascannons.

I was just proposing a way to actually internally (within the squad) balance the weapon.

Its the same reason no one takes termies because storm bolters are bad. The units need to actually be able to compete with eachother to be playable, and that can be achieved through buffs and nerfs, but I think TH/SS termies are fine right now so the other termies should be able to compete with them in a meaningful way.

Yes I completely agree with you that ignores cover and ap2 is way too prevalent, but heavy bolters and storm bolters don't bear relation to this and have never actually been equivocal to their other weapon choices.

No no, crabs have 10 legs, two of which are specialised as claws.

Scorpions on the other hand have 8 legs, but their claws are actually overdeveloped mouthparts.

Khorne can appreciate how metal it is that Scorpions have evolved a mouth that can punch, stab and crush you all at once.
>>

Also, if you put a drop of alcohol on a Scorpion's back, it will stab itself to death with it's own stinger.

>Wyches increase charge distance and gives +1 WS
>Warriors get +1 BS and Precision Shots
>Incubi get Feel No Pain(5+) and +1 Attack
>Other units get one of the above, or slight variations

The idea is that Dark Eldar become THE alpha striking army. If units get into position, pop their combat drugs and choose the right target near the beginning of the game, then they can cripple the enemy enough to coast the rest of the game. If they muck up though, then you'll be struggling to scratch out a win.

So I had my first game against Genecults yesterday, allied to another Admech player (Who was a dick) who brought Cawl.
Cawl is good, toasted a Chimera, two Sentinels and really didn't care about anything.

Genecults got both of my Skitarii units, my Inquisitor and half my Kataphrons by turn 2, I spent a lot of time walking around the store while the other guy shot stuff or genecults threw ineffective autopistol fire at the Breachers and Kastelans. Had to end it at the start of T3, just after all my units had finally got in a position to do stuff. I spent most of the time talking to the Nids player allied to the genecults, who was cool while the GSC summoned about 45 Genestealers for free. Not the best game ever, I will say.
