Back due to popular demand:

Reminder that pic related has a sweet melody which suits them perfectly now

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=IUGzY-ihqWc&feature=share

FAQ:
>Dubstep is gay lol?
Dubstep suits many chaotic factions as it is fairly chaotic
Also this song is hardly Dubstep

>I listened to three seconds and I thought it was shit?
No, you are shit. Try lasting longer than you do in bed next time, before giving a review

>If this music isn't to my personal taste, does that mean it is the wrong song for the Night Lords?
No

>ITS NOT METAL I CAN SHAKE MY NECKBEARD TO????
Metal music doesn't suit chaos, this isn't the 80s. The Night Lords have evolved a lot in the last 8-10 years, so get on board or fuck off. Metal only really suits World Eaters, even then, probably Hardcore.

>My Emps Children love the shit metal though!!!
No, your structured music would bore them to death. Please read current fluff, not your 80s shit

>LOL LOOK MY SHIT SONG ABOUT BATS OR LIGHTNING IS FUNNY
*Pat pat* nice original joke, friend

>Does the above point apply for any of my other "funny" song ideas?
Yes.

>I know more about music than you because that is brostep, not dubstep
Doesn't change the fact that it is the correct song for the Night Lords

>Why did you word that first sentence weirdly?
Because people thought they were clever with their spam filter

>You are getting less (you)s than ever, I thought that is why you do this?
No, it just proves how perfected my FAQ is.

>Is Curze a Demon Primarch, and true Prophet of the 8th?
Yes.

Fire Angels - 1850pts.jpg
786KB, 1400x2900px
Alright, so I'm thinking of starting another Marine Army, ultramarines successors (wonder why, probably because I'm a faggot who wants guilliman)

In my defense I want Cypher and Voldus more than guillible
(but I am super stoked about a dp sized space marine)

So help me think about this list I'm building for my Fire Angles

Note that the list is a little different than the builder image allows, I've got one contemptor with two kheres assault cannons and the other has a multi-melta+fist+bolter

Besides that we have a mini-smashfucker in artificer armor, jump pack, shield eternal

A jumpy chaplain, a five man of assault marines with no evisc but the vet sgt has a power fist

I figure these seven assholes can punch a hole in just about anything, especially if a libby buffs them before they hop somewhere nasty.

Libs probably spam telepathy or biomancy or something

Someone who rolls bad probably gets put into a drop pod to psychic shriek as the tacticals pew-pew anything remotely dangerous looking.

I could see myself dropping some of the plasma guns for more melta, but I also want some anti-elite infantry which is why I took the 3-3 spread

Comments and criticism welcome.

I like it all, boys, girls, cross dressers, trans of either variety. I had an opportunity to go down on my trans friend when we were drunk together, but I never really pushed for it because it felt weird at the time and now I have that what if feeling. I saw pictures of it, it was very nice.

We see a lot of shit about Orks, but let's have a change of pace. What in the Ork codex feels right? As in, what rules/units feel appropriately Orky, and what's costed well?

I'm going to kick off by bringing up Trukks. They blow up when anything even looks at it funny and can actually be a hazard for the unit inside. But, they're 30 points, fast and open-topped so whatever it's transporting can actually go somewhere and assault. I think they nailed what the Ork's basic transport vehicle is.

Come on. While I do enjoy Tzeentch and all, I doubt Curze would be loyal to him. If anything I can see him coming back from his soul somehow taking form in the warp again or favor from something like Malice/Malal, but not one of the main 4.

Honestly, painting is one of the times (there are a few)when I think I might be legitimately autistic because I get weirdly focused on what I'm doing. While I'm painting, I'm thinking about what I'm painting, even if it's just base coating.

Eh, drunk sex is overrated anyway. I wouldn't worry about it too much, and I mean if you're also into trans then he/she/whatever's still available if you really feel that way.
Don't worry, I'm from /dsg/ so I'm highly knowledgeable on the topic of sucking cocks. Anything you want to know?

These days I usually play Dark Eldar but I spend most of my painting time painting Marines that never see the table.

Really depends on how well you know yourself. It's weird to say and hard to explain but you know where your most sensitive areas are and if you're adventurous maybe you've done some exploration of your own too. These are things it's helpful for a partner to know because if they know what they're doing they can really use it to their advantage. Tips won't help an absolute newfag that much though.

You do have a point with the idea that he wouldn't have much, if any of his own will as a Daemon Primarch (though what I was implying with the first suggestion is making him something close to, but not exactly a daemon primarch, so nothing going against the rules of daemon primarchs)
I'm pretty sure Curze doesn't fit with Tzeentch though, and would fit under a different god much better.

If you're going to take a throwaway HQ, take a priest, not a 95pt canoness. Conversely if you want her to be better, you can drop a few Seraphim, especially at 1000 points. Dropping 2 Seraphim is an extra 30pts, which is a combi-weapon and a rerollable armor save, though if you want the extra attack for using a power weapon instead of an Evicerator, then a melta pistol might be better. You can drop a dozer blade for that. Two dozer blades upgrades a rerollable armor save to eternal warrior.

Also note: as of IA, Immolators are fast attack, so you don't have to staple them to the Retributers. There's no downside to that except for a single mission type, but you should remember that the Ret AoF doesn't ever apply to the Immolator.

Don't worry about squad autism. I have it too, though points values trigger it harder. If it makes you feel any better, the perfect squad size for Seraphim used to be 7 back in Witch Hunters because of how AoF worked with their special rules.

As for the blade, it's solid against MEQ, just stay away from anything with a 2+. That's why I prefer a combi+evicerator.

If that's the case, then blade is nice. I have to chew through Bikes and Cents, so the S6 Ap2 really helps. However, the biggest problem with Blade is the fact that it eats up your relic, and EW on a T3 model is worth 25pts. I get a very smug feeling when she eats a Powerfist to the face and then mows down the offender with her fuckhuge chainsword.

>>51944745
>PP+PS

Eh. I would urge you to reconsider. Not only are you paying 25pts for the Sword and Pistol, you're paying an extra 10pts for the squad upgrade. PPs are generally a bad investment anyway, but you're effectively paying 20pts for it.

If you need to kill 35pts, give your immolators Laud Hailers and stick a storm bolter on the Exorcist.

Often, I find myself unable to not finish painting, which is bad because then I'll rush towards the end when I need to be the most careful. I'll usually fix things later, though not always.

I might start batch painting, though because I need to make a dent into these Night Lords. Maybe I'll do legs, torso, back back for a whole squad, though honestly, I've never done partial assembly painting before.

Trukks felt a lot better with the old Ramshackle rule. It had a fun, fluffy random aspect, and made them less deadly to their cargo when they did inevitably explode. The new Ramshackle is just boring, and in conjunction with new Mob Rule ensured Trukk Boyz wouldn't be a think again. It was one of the few times that removing a random table genuinely made the game worse.

>What in the Ork codex feels right?

It's a tough one, because even the good units have glaring problems. Mek Gunz are in a good place so long as you ignore Smasha, Zzap and Bubblechukas, which just having glaring flaws. If you're just focusing on the good guns though, then it's a unit I feel is in a good place. Probably 50% of that though is down to the current artillery rules; if they went back to the previous system of the guns being AV10 vehicles that died to any glace or penetrate and you randomized hits against the crew or gun, Mek Gunz would get much worse very, very quickly. And why can't they take a Runtherder/Slaver anyway?

Honestly the only unit I can think of that's pretty much spot on is Buggies. They're cheap, fast, twin-linked Dakka with outflank. They explode like fireworks and that's completely fine; fits their theme and role perfectly.

Never ever buy a sister superior for your Seraphims. Unless you are taking old Celestine, so the superior can take the challange instead of her.

Give superior a combi weapon, never a melee weapon. Never!

If you wish to spend the extra points give some Immolator a laud moaner or Storm Bolter to the exorcist.

He used to have a special rule where if you lost combat against him, you'd take the LD test at -1 LD. It was fluffy if not particularly powerful.

Yeah the old Trukks were better, but they're still a very Orky transport.

I'll also second the stuff about Mek Guns, like >>51944627 said too. They're a collection of wacky but wonderful guns, with Traktor Cannon being one of the best anti-air weapons in the game. It's got good synergy too, since it grounds FMC for your boyz to charge (in theory).

I'd also go ahead and throw Meganobs into the mix too. 40 points for 2w, 2+ armour and 3 klaw attacks is pretty good going. That can be upgraded to 4 armourbane attacks too, or cheap skorchas. Their main problems are their lack of an invulnerable save, and shit leadership. Though Bullyboyz fixes the latter. You can also take them in min squads of 3, better than most Termies if you just want to wreck something weaker.

Are you facing Orks or retarded players?

Those are the only way to make penitent engines works and you need 6 minimum. Also in Castellans of the Imperium for the sweet hatred.

You are better off with combi melta with your dominions. Power weapons and storm Bolter in dominions is not only wasting points but stupid.

Dominions will die after they destroy their target.
Repeat after me. Dominions will die after destroying thier target. If they live beyond that then it was sheer luck.

You are not playing marines, think SoB as guardsmen any result beyond them dead after doing what they are suppose to do is a bonus.

Have the fucking superior, use is as a normal seraphim, power sword and plasma pistol is wasting 35 points. You are wasting a rhino or an Immolator with that superior with so many useless upgrades.

Power weapon in SoB are a legacy of third edition when even a S3 power weapon was rather usefull as it ignore armour, yes 2+ saves meant very little to a power weapon.
Same goes for plasma pistols, there was a time when you could double tap pistols so.

Since GW writer never got the memo they kept the same cost and shit from editions ago.

You're correct, but obviously the inverse is true too.

In my opinion, the song doesn't work. The female vocalist is too calm, the structure is too stable (it's in fucking 4/4th), and the lyrics are meaningless because you've given a stealth Legion a theme song. Their theme is snapping twigs. Their theme is the roaring clash of thunder. Their theme is the hairs on the back of your neck raising. Their theme is the anguished screams coming from those who wish they could die.

Tribune Alicio of the Adeptus Custodes. Known lovingly as Can-Opener.

Went a game where he single handedly killed over 30 World Eaters by himself and took zero wounds. Ended the game by popping a Land Raider with a Melta Bomb.

Next game saw him walk into two squads of Jetbikes and singlehandley cut them all down, walk into two Rhinos and detonate them, and then killed 15 Word Bearers with shooting and combat. Took one wound all game from a marine smacking him with a bolter.

In his latest game he fought SOS and carved his way through about 30+ of them with only 3 basic Custodes attached to him.

Having Painboyz as independent characters is great. They're practically an auto-take, and it would be nice to take them as you do meks to see more variation with HQ choices, but it's a step in the right direction.

Speaking of which, meks are a nice addition with plenty of utility.

>Elites
Tankbustas do their job reasonably well, and with a range of options that sets the benchmark for other "aspect orks" units (lootas, flash gitz, burna boyz etc). If orks see an update, it would be nice to see these other units get the same treatment.

Meganobz are almost viable and would cover a weakness in the ork 'dex if just their Ld was improved.

>Fast Attack
Buggies are fantastic for their cost, fit their role and fluff perfectly.

Warbikers are an excellent package, but we all know this already.

Stormboyz are just as fast as they ought to be, trouble is they're even faster at dying.

>Heavy Support
Mek Gunz have some niche options that cover the 'dex's weakness. Some options are useless though and overall their viability hinges more on the nature of artillery rules than anything specifically novel about the unit.

Battlewagons cover a niche role as it's good to have AV14 at your disposal.

Lootas are reliable as ever, though with a disappointing lack of variety.

Looted Wagons are disgustingly low priced for an AP3 template, but pack plenty of appropriate drawbacks to make up for it.

But in hindsight.. LCs, Shotguns and Frag cannons all have shred making re-rolling to wound vs elites.. pointless.

Can't even bring ANY Vanguard/Bikers in the detachment without having vets on their ass.

So I really want to use Kastelans but have no Knight, so I can't just toss them in a War Convo and call it a day (not like they'd fit in a 1500 War Convo anyway).

Was wondering if something like pic related would be the best way to run them or if I should instead drop the Dominus Maniple, move the Skitarii over to their Skitarii Maniple and form a War Congregation with the Kataphrons and Kastelans.

The most fun way is definitely a Cohort Cybernetica but I only have one Kastelan unit right now.

Battlewagons are very good. They're like the mullet of transports; business (AV14) in the front, party (20 orks) in the back. By the time your opponent gets around the back for AV10 you should have dropped off your boyz.

>>51945620
The problem with that is they're BS2. You'll only hit a third of the time and a sixth of the time you'll blow up (especially due to 6+ armour) and lose you 15pt boy. 5pts is really just an appropriate cost.
>>
>>51945712
That could work at 1500+ since it needs more gear to be useful.

Fun thing command squad can dual wield special weapons.

You could have combi-plasma + flamers on 4 models + the medic

If you can get a Repressor enjoy the drive by shooting.
With 3 fire points on each side and 2 on the top. For 75 you have a 13/11/10 vehicle with Storm Bolter and a heavy Flamer.

If you are trying to be competative, you should be running the Lions blade with min squads grav and a shit ton of free razorbacks.

Replace all the plasma guns with grav guns, and get rid of plasma pistol they are worthless. get rid of the ravenwing, the only bikes you should be takeing is the black knights. Also the Dark Talon is pretty meh, there are better flyers out there if you are running a CAD like a lot better, if your trying to go for ground clear, at that point take a fire raptor gunship.

Can we talk for a second how Orks are in an unplayable state at this point ?

Orks have been struggling for ages because they basically are given shitty stats for their point cost on top of self-defeating rng based mechanics. The last time they were "good" was back in 5th edition when you could abuse the wound allocation rule with your biker nob star and eventhen it felt like cheesing your way to victory.

Now since the last codex is out Orks are even weaker because of their low moral and low surviviability combine to a total lack of firepower.

Their are units that Orks can straight up not deal with without throwing their entire army at it like Imperial Knights or Custodes just because they lack of reliable High Strenght, low AP weaponry.

But that's not all. In top of their natural weaknesses that allready make them one of the worst armies in the entire game, Orks didn't get the special "decurion" treatment that most other armies got. Meaning they can't profit from alternate detachment pattern free bonii because they simply don't have one. The worst part being that even their formations suck major ass.

And the icing on the cake : Their FW rules, while fluffy and thematic like they allways are, are pretty mediocre at best, so no saving grace from there either.

So yhea, it's been a year since I didn't play my Orks at my LGS because getting utterly crushed by shitty lists that aren't even close to tournament level isn't a fun experience on the long run. I really hope we'll get a "beast arise" supplement or something like that sometimes because right now, SoB are 10 times better than Orks, no, Vanilla Deldars are 10 times better than Orks. And that's saying a whole lot.

Let me pitch this idea to you. It's a bit off beat but I like it.

What if we take Magnus, have him shirtless, and for the remaining armor we make it look like wood (or possibly white and red), paint his feathers from the wings golden brown like a thunderbird, maybe add some feathers to his laid back hair, paint it white like a headdress, give him brown skin with red, black, and white markings like "Red Harvest" from magnificent seven or some other thing, and so generally have a Magnus the "Red" with a native american theme.

I think there are enough overlapping details to do it. Thoughts?

Pic semi related. The line of off beat alternative scheme I'd compare it to.

Nop even Orks can bring down 2-4 before they reach Melee.

They are walking open top 11/11/10 that don't have fleet. So their running sucks ass. If you are lucky or your opponent is retarded you can make it on turn two. Most of the time they only reach Melee in turn 4 with at least half of them dead or Broken.

6 is the minimum for them to work

Depends on the local meta. For example mine is just Tau, Orks, Necrons, marines and Eldar.
Beside grey knights no one has psykers.

Wasting points in anti psykers depends a lot on your meta.

It is easier just to run Acolytes squads of 2 models plus a Psyker behind your tanks and drop random Prescience or shriek.

16 points if I recall for that.

Hi all. I'm coming back to the game after a long break and dusting off my Tyranids. Funnily enough, all my friends who are getting into it as well have mysteriously choosing to create tau gunlines rather than want to do anything else. Nothing to do with the fact I have an army of close combat monsters and the rumours Tau are top of the range, ha.

Still, can any Tyranid player please give me advice on how to deal with gunlines? I'm currently musing over things like...

A flyrant with brainleech devourers, to swoop in, shred their troops then beat itself stupid off any tanks.

A Tyrranocyte pod to drop in the middle of them. Have it shoot up troops, then unleash say, a carnifex to charge into tanks and smash them.

A Lictor to appear wherever I want, then have it use it's ability to make the Mawloc pop up wherever I want. Mawloc will do it's damage, twice if needed, then dig back into the ground, to pop up again elsewhere, rather than pop up and start chasing people...or would I be better with a Trygon that will pop up, do no damage, but then chase folk around?

In contemporary terms that would be 5 or 6 wounds rather than 10, because shit in 2nd edition had a fuckload of wounds. Because M isn't a stat anymore it would be normal movement with Fleet, that save would be a 2+ armor save.

I started playing when I was 10 and I'm 24 now; I took a small break when GW was just pumping up costs every few months. I only came back for Custodes and massively fleshed out pieces I thought I'd never see.

I remember when the plastic Land Raider that we currently have was $40.

Let that sink in.
>>
>>51944660
No, because eldar exist
>>

Their pricing resulted in and was also a response to years of middling sales figures. And pricing of existing box sets is essentially fixed due to a promise to shareholders not to lower their prices, even though the huge markup actually hurts profits.

However at this point GW executives have clearly realized that this is a mistake, which is why boxed sets of multiple units together at a dramatically lower cost to the individual units is a thing. It sidesteps the promise not to lower prices, while lowering prices.

Oh I know. Remember when you could get 20 Guardsmen in a box for like $35?

Now you get the same models but 10 for like $40.

Part of the reason why fantasy die was due to that.
Lower point cost, lower model count per box, higher cost.

And I'm seeing the same trend in 40k

I really hope someone says fuck you shareholder if you want money this is how we are doing it.

There isn't really a good response for GW.

They can try and address player annoyance at high model counts and high prices by decreasing model count, but then they're shooting themselves in the foot. But they can't just lower prices because (((shareholders))).

All they can do is to try and claw back the perception of value for money by selling bundled models and boxed games at lower prices and hope the shareholders don't jew the company to death. Which seems to actually be working.

Not him, but no shit chinaman is cheaper. Recasters don't have to operate the same logistics as GW, all the brick and mortar stores GW has, pay for the lore writers, the model designers, the painters or anything that GW has as overhead.
Recasters are essentially a leach off of GW, relying upon GW to take all the overhead and risk and then just copy off GW's work.
GW may have high prices, maybe not.
But either way, recasters are completely dependent on GW and FW, if they stop existing the recaster is fucked. Then we ahve the fact that they only exist because of countries who don't enforce stuff like copyrights.
Recasters are in no way an indication of what GW should, or for that matter even can, do. Recasters are a leach, nothing more, nothing less. Buy recasters if you want, but don't suggest that they are an indicator of something wrong with GW, they are 2 entirely different models

If the Mawloc hits twice and can't fit, it goes back underground and *suffers a Deep Strike Mishap*, because of course an intelligently-designed burrowing murder machine would die or get lost when burrowing.

It would be completely fair for it to burrow at the end of the movement phase on the same turn that it appears on if there was actually a reason to keep it on the table, if it could shoot or assault for example.

But it's a trash unit that is worthless once it's on the table, so it's a non-decision to have it burrow ASAP.

The entire tyranid codex is full of nonsense units like that.
>>
>>51948205
No, it isn't. Old One Eye was only ever seen on Calth, then he became sort of like an urban legend that other soldiers confused other injured Carnifexes with regeneration for.

Red Terror was only on Devlan Primus.

Deathleaper originally was only on Medusa V, the Parasite was only on Mortrex, the Doom was only on Malan'tai.

Eventually all of these got reabsorbed, giving us regeneration for Carnifexes, Mawlocs, Neurothropes, and so on.

Except then Cruddace, that dumb faggot, wrote the appallingly bad Swarmlord fluff that broke the pattern and ruined everything, and then followed that up by bringing back OOE and Deathleaper as recurring individuals because he can't into understanding Tyranids.

TL;DR a special character for Tyranids should only ever be around for a single planetary campaign. After that it's reabsorbed. They don't "res" them after that because once they have the genetic template they just fuse their good traits into the whole species and clone a fuckton of them.
>>
>>51947664
Lictor just needs some way to survive getting into assault and the ability to challenge.

For its price, a Lictor shouldn't be punking combat characters that are twice its point value or more. It can and will eviscerate 1W sergeants, but, unfortunately, the game has pretty much made 1W sergeants utterly worthless anyways.

Isn't their pricing relative to inflation actually pretty good?

The bigger issue with pricing is how much the size of the "standard" game has increased. From 5th to 7th edition, a Space Marine Battle Company has gone from an apocalypse formation intended for rare, ultra-long giant games, to the baseline Space Marine army build. It costs hundreds upon hundreds of dollars to get almost every army up to the 1500+ point games that are considered the norm around everything is balanced.

The specific issue is that there's no reason to keep it on the table.

It can't fight in CC, has no shooting, no psychic powers and isn't even a synapse creature.

It only has value when it's in reserve. So it makes sense for it to have rules that allow it to be in reserve as much as possible. Alternatively it should have rules and stats that make it actually useful outside of reserve.

Getting better. You don't have to tell us the Kakophoni is the Primary, we can see that from the Warlord. Rapture Battalion is a Detachment, not a formation.

Power Fist/Weapons are very expensive and you don't really want to be going into CC anyways. I'd drop all of them in favor of Blastmasters for everybody.

Lucius is pretty sub-optimal. For a melee focused SC, he's going to lose against pretty much any decent melee character. He doesn't have a delivery mechanism in your list, and he's vastly overpriced if all he's going to do is shoot a Doom Siren. If you're going to keep him, re-tool one of the Noise Marine squads for melee (power [noun]+Doom Siren sergeant, no sonic blasters, Icon of Excess probably) and/or grab a Dreadclaw.

I get that you want to stick with the sacred number, but that's a ton of unoptimal dudes. Especially with those Raptors. I'd bulk out one of the squads and give it the Icon of Excess.

Lucius was going to be with one of the squads in rhinos; I was intending to use the four squads in rhinos as more assualty squads. Why do Noise Marines not want to be in melee? With the Initiative bonus, it seems like they'd be pretty good there. The Icon seemed like a good idea, but it's expensive, and so are blastmasters, and I really wanted to have a full six squad Kakophoni for the +1 strength to sonic weapons within it, and I was worried that by kitting out every squad with blastmasters or icons (or both) it'd be so expensive I wouldn't be able to afford an auxiliary choice at 2k points, which is where my friends usually play.

Means it hitting on 4's. Will chew through a combat squad of MEQ's (half its point value) in ~2 turns of combat. Yes, it is liable to get locked in combat, but that just means you'll have to bail it out with something else.

Do reduced scatter or some other form of mitigation.

No. Invuln creep needs to stop. Instead, let units with invuln take them in addition to their armor save.

Grey Knights need shooting to get less powerful and for assault (especially assault with MEQ) to get more viable.
>>
>>51948793
>No. Invuln creep needs to stop.
In general I would agree with you but with Grey Knights of all armies, who are an extremely low model count high quality elite force, I think they deserve it.

Until some updates come out that tone down the amount of AP 2 and D flying around I don't think invuln saves can be toned down either.

Besides, the thing that really needs nerfing is re-rolls on failed invulns, not the saves themselves. Even storm shields were never broken, but this bullshit with psychic powers making them into statistically unbreakable deathballs is what's killing the game.

>Grey Knights need shooting to get less powerful and for assault (especially assault with MEQ) to get more viable
The main thing they need is for the game to move away from the MSU meta, and for AP2 to be scaled back to become something actually uncommon in army lists rather than present on literally every infantry model, and for grav to just stop existing.

>>51948754
>I think the Mawloc in general is a dumb idea, but the execution is pretty much fine.

It really isn't. The fact that if one random Grot/Guardsman/Tau Drone survives its deep strike attack, it still mishaps, is absurd. It's one of these horrible anti-fun rules where a unit can end up killing itself just by trying to do what it does.

A better solution, IMO, would be to change the rule so that it can't mishap and Deep Strikes straight into combat, doing something like D6 additional automatic St6 Ap2 hits in the process. The Mawloc would then act as a pretty effective harassment unit, able to pop up, deal a bunch of damage and lock a squad in combat to stop it shooting at the rest of your army, then try using Hit and Run to retreat, reburrow, and do so again in a later turn.
>>
>>51948786
>implying killing 5 MEQ in 2 turns in the mark of a good combat unit
Not what I said, shitposter-kun.

Mawloc isn't supposed to be a good close combat unit, it's supposed to bounce in and out of reserve shitting out S6 AP2 Cover Ignoring Large Blasts.

GKs are like, the only army who SHOULD have a tonne of powerful invulns, to make up for having a far lower model count. So it's a straight trade with regular MEQ/TEQ of quality vs quantity.

That's GKs' real problem now. There's no situation where "Take better dudes" is better than "Just take MORE dudes". It's a flaw of 40k as a game system. Unless one GK can reliably kill one MEQ per turn, they're objectively less efficient.

Except these are things that are literally never, ever going to happen, so instead of suggesting theoretical changes that would require GW invalidating models on the market and reworking every other army in the game around a new paradigm, suggest realistic changes that can be applied to the GK only, that fit the paradigm.

Higher invulns fits that mold. The WS and BS buffs make them more consistent and fits the elite force theme, and mitigated deep strike mishaps fits the fact that they are a force which regularly and almost exclusively deploys via deep strike - these were all great ideas the other anon suggested.

Some of my own: Some more effective nova powers fits their psychic army theme and helps deal with the MSU. Split Fire for their heavy weapons guys could help too. An extra Wound on squad leaders would be welcome.

It shouldn't be, though; that should be the Exocrine's job. Acting as a harassment unit able to disrupt enemy shooting by Deep Striking into combat would give it a unique niche within the army.

Why not? It's a change that disproportionately affects shitty units like Terminators, Rubricae, etc. Yes, Riptides and SM Deathstars get worse, but those are already things that need fixed anyways.

Yes please.

>AP2 to be scaled back to become something actually uncommon in army lists rather than present on literally every infantry model, and for grav to just stop existing.
Weight of fire is a pretty big issue too. Tau, Eldar, AdMech, etc can all shit out horrific amounts of high-AP wounds that quickly chew through elite MEQ/TEQ's.
>>
>>51948940
>Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize GW were monitoring this thread and looking at the best ideas to work into their 8th edition codex.
What you're suggesting is deleting something from the game that has product and sells product, and reworking every other army (a lot of development and rebalancing time) around a single archetype, instead of reworking one struggling army of that archetype to fit into the modern game.

This discussion is predicated around the idea that these are fixes we could potentially actually see come to the game, not a magical fairyland where everything is completely redone and perfectly balanced and grav never existed.
>>
>>51948927
The mawloc is very good as a str 6 ap2 large blast machine, though. It's one of the best units in the codex. It just has the annoying problem of ideally never coming onto the table unless they're being used to score objectives, something they are also excellent at.
>>
>>51948866
It's technically 1.25 wounds per turn VS both MEQ and Guard equivalent. It will eventually win combat VS a 5 model tactical marine squad after 4 turns.
>>
>>51948946
This, precisely.
>>
>>51949007
It is a unit that was shoehorned into the role of an artillery unit because tyranids didn't have a proper artillery unit other than biovores, now Tyranids have both the Tyrannofex and Exocrine which should be doing the job of being artillery units but aren't.

The entire army is a fucking clusterfuck.
>>
>>51948971
>Why not?
Spoken like a true GK player. Do you really want TH/SS Terminators to be immune to all small arms fire? I'm not even going to point out how retarded, say, a Deathwing squad with a wall of SS, an Apothecary granting FNP, and a Librarian with Veil of Time would be? The answer is very retarded, and that's for a shit unit. Imagine how unplayable the game would be in a world where 2++ reroll 1s DPs could take their armor save first, or god forbid an Invisible Wraithknight, preferably Fortuned too. Even a simple Smashbane would become Celestine-tier durable, with the likes of Cawl and Celestine themselves being written off as automatic denial of StW unless there's a lucky Stomp or D hit.

>>51949092
Most of us have been saying the game needs a fairly substantial, ground up rebalance for a while now. We're just very wary GW will take that as a reason to rebuild 40k with a more AoS-like ruleset.
>>
>>51949092
That's a lot of great strawmanning you've got there. I'm pretty sure I never said anything about new things being bad or that the game doesn't need a core change. But you can't realistically discuss changes to a specific army to fix it based around a new core ruleset if you don't know what that ruleset is going to be. Some anon just suggested some good fixes to GK as of current 40k that would help them without being shoehorned unfluffy changes like most backseat gamedevs on here post, and you went full fucking retard screaming about how GW needs to remove grav from the game (because squatting upgrades that are modelled on a bunch of dudes already always pleases the fanbase, just ask us Tyranid players!) and change literally everything.

You're not wrong that the core rules are bloated and fucked but that's a totally different discussion and you're being an asshole about it.

>I never said anything about new things being bad
I never said you did, friend.

>the game doesn't need a core change
But you implied it by asseting the fact that to fix the game we should work around the current system rather than reformat it, which is exactly the methodology GW operates on and exactly the reason we're stuck with this bloated piece of shit edition.

>Some anon just suggested some """""good""""" fixes to GK
FTFY. Also, they might fix GK, but insane shit like changing the core mechanics of an invulnerable save would render the game unplayable due to other already strong armies, see >>51949071
It's like making high-I assault units absolute death with the intention of fixing Hormagaunts, only to realize you've destroyed any semblance of balance by making the Eldar race the undisputed masters of melee in addition to the kings of shooting.

>GW needs to remove grav from the game (because squatting upgrades that are modelled on a bunch of dudes already always pleases the fanbase, just ask us Tyranid players!)
I never said grav needed squatting, read again. I said it needs to stop existing in its current form. If grav weapons became the same as 30k graviton weaponry I would not have any problems whatsoever with it existing.

>change literally everything
Again, the game needs a rework. I will defend this.
>>
>>51949245
Do we really need to make it even harder for melee units? I get that Storm Bolters could use something to make them more attractive, but Overwatch can already be pretty brutal for those few units which make it far enough down the table to try charging.

>But you implied it by asseting the fact that to fix the game we should work around the current system rather than reformat it
I think that was a misunderstanding, I was just trying to explain that a discussion around fixing the entire game is much less productive than one about fixing a single army, because we have literally no idea what GW is going to do with 8th and unless it invalidates every Codex currently in production and moves to internet-based datasheets it's still not going to change the proliferation of AP 2.

>Also, they might fix GK, but insane shit like changing the core mechanics of an invulnerable save would render the game unplayable due to other already strong armies
Oh, I agree, I wasn't the guy saying they should be able to stack invulns and armour saves.

>I never said grav needed squatting, read again. I said it needs to stop existing in its current form. If grav weapons became the same as 30k graviton weaponry I would not have any problems whatsoever with it existing.
I can agree with that, then.
>>
>>51949300
Fall of Cadia says you can use any of the Imperial Triumvirate as a HQ choice for any Imperial faction, so you can use Cawl as a HQ choice in a Skitarii CAD.
Apocalypse (and basically every other publication about Titans) says you can use them as a LoW for any Imperial army. It checks out.

>>51949289
I say this as a Tyranid player, Terminators could use the buff. It's a far cry from buffing Overwatch in general, not a whole lot of units are walking around with storm bolters and the ones that are aren't particularly good right now.
>>
>>51946759
I don't know if it's too late and you've already bought this but there's the Cadian battlegroup for $165 that comes with a command squad, 2 infantry squads, a heavy weapon squad, a Russ and a Chimera

Plus it's a buff across the board for GK, since they all get storm bolters by default.

>Do we really need to make it even harder for melee units?

Redesign the Psilencer.

Swords give +1 invulnerable in melee
Falchions give +1 A and Shred

Purgation get Slow and Purposeful and Deep Strike

Power Armoured GK get Psybolt ammo (+1S to their Stormbolters)

Banishment (Sanatic) is -1 to invulnerable saves to any target instead of only Daemons.
>>
>>51948568
Mawloc has Hit and Run.
>>
>>51949418
>Banishment (Sanatic) is -1 to invulnerable saves to any target instead of only Daemons.
And how does this work against models like Wyches, Assassins and Genestealers which get an invulnerable save from dodging really fast? Or Tau shield generators?

The other stuff seems okay but that's just silly.
>>
>>51949301
It's finecast though, and older pewter/finecast models that are intended to portray cloth don't tend to look all that nice because the model is one single piece.

Compare Grimaldus to the current plastic chaplain. The latter looks great, with flowing purity seals resulting in a very dynamic looking miniature. Grimaldus looks plain and lifeless in comparison. Plus his Crozius' chain is hanging at a weird angle.

Oh, and finecast is awful.

Deep Strike t1 gives the mobility. And SnP lets you move and shoot.

GKs are a close shooting / melee army. And special weapons that make it so you can't charge is counter productive.

The last Apocalypse book release was 6th edition. The cover is pic related.

Personally I use the rules out of Tempest, though, since they are far more current. Technically they are 30k only, but if you're bringing a fucking Titan to a game then it's probably friendly and casual enough that you can talk to your opponent about it. My reasoning is that the Warlord from Tempest is 40k legal and the other two only aren't cited as being legal there because they have 40k rules elsewhere. Here's hoping Fires of Cyraxus will update them.

Reading the rules right now. Confused as to what makes something like a plaguebearer harder to kill than an ork boy, if the ork is T4 as well as the plaguebearer, but he also has a save
>>
>>51950694

The Ork boy has a 6+ armour save, which can be negated by almost every shooting weapon in the game.
The Plaguebearer is a daemon.
All daemons have a 5+ invulnerable save, which can only be negated very rarely.
>>
>>51950694
Plaguebearers do get a save. All Daemons get a 5+ invulneraable save, which unlike an Ork's shitty 6+ armor save can be made against almost every attack in the game. Being Daemons of Nurgle they also get Shrouded, which gives then an improved cover save (5+ in the open, or 2+ in nearly any cover) so they make excellent objective campers. Boys, meanwhile, get none of this, and have short- or literally melee-ranged weapons that require them to advance to be useful, meaning it's harder for them to claim a cover save at all.

Plaguebearer objective holders also enjoy the benefit of usually being summoned for free, so they're worth their points.
