Question: do dedicated transports benefit from the special rules of their attached unit? Havocs with Tank Hunters makes it possible to plasma vomit tanks to death, but if the Rhino doesn't benefit from it, it may as well use its combo-plasma on something else, or I may swap it out for a meltagun.

Army-wise the Warpsmith footslogs hiding behind the dread, repairing any damage and hopefully granting it IWND. They get cover fire from the Rapier which should attract anything that was considering firing at the lonely IC the moment it spits out a S10 pieplate. Autocannon squad camp an objective and cover Warp/dread team as best they can, or simply dakka anything within 24". The two Rhinos and Predator blitzkrieg the rest of the table.

Dark Angels or Ultramarines, since they are essentially not-Legions. Black Templars used to be up there, but their gigantic numbers got retconned. You also have chapters such as Minotaurs or Grey Knights who lack sheer numbers on their own but can call upon lot of resources of Imperuim thanks to their roles.

>>
>>52025491

Because Cadia fell and Biel Tan was fractured, duh.

Meanwhile, the Primarch Returned.

I was buying some deathwatch at a GW yesterday and the guy expected me to be super hyped about and preorder Gulliman, then looked like I'd kicked a puppy when I said I was completely uninterested.
>>
>>52025606

It's fine, fallen are DA who heavily still make use of MXIV, being asked to convert your own is actually pretty positive from games "EVERY OPTION MUST BE MODELED OR REMOVED FROM THE CODEX" shop.
>>
>>52025637
Its lazy as fuck to try and pretend that this a new army, which is what its listed as on the web page.
Encouraging conversions? Great, always a good thing.
But don't try and pretend that this isn't the epitome of a lazy release. Even the images on the web page are exactly the same poses, loadouts, ect as regular DA but colour-shifted black.
>>
>>52025626

What, you don't want Gulliman to lead your kill team? Come on, just paint him black with one silver arm, he'll fit right in.

What's that, the conversion shoulderpad won't fit? Try the terminator one, use more glue if it won't stay on.
>>
I know they're mostly a 30k thing, but has anyone tried running custodes in any sizeable number ? How'd it go ? was it fun ?

Sooo, I had this discussion with a guy from school, who is the toughest: space marines or US marines?
>>
>>52025670
I mean its true that its easy to churn out infinite marines for easy money.
But look at the difference between say the ravenwing black knights kit and devestator centurions.
There's a lot of variety in marines beyond literally recycling the same kit.

>>52025659
Can someone please explain how GW managed to fuck the model up so badly, its hideous, especially considering there is already a halfway decent one around thanks to forgeworld.
All they had to do was base it on the 30k one, but they horribly fucked that up and now even if I was a smurf I'd be ashamed to put that thing on a table.
>>
Whats your least favourite army and why?
For me its Orks, not a gameplay thing, just never liked them.

>>52025485
>Dangles that are explicitly forbidden from being taken with actual DA and yet can ally with both chaos marines and every other imperial force, just so that GW can print yet another tiny codex with 4 units.
You understand that only the Dangles in the entire Imperium know that Cypher and the Fallen are supposed to be traitors, right? The Fallen's ally matrix makes perfect sense, stop whining.

US marine isnt far from a guardsmen with a worse gun.

So who's toughest, marine vs guardsmen ?
>>
>>52025691

Because Gulliman is a streamlined dreadnought now. He's wearing an overbulky life support suit that he can never remove without dying... And I think Cawl tried to clumsily force it to look like he's not in a life support frame, leading to horribly warped proportions.

It looks very bad, though to be fair I think it's actually a fairly high quality sculpt of the terrible concept.
>>
>>52025691
>>52025735
Are you implying that model looks bad?
>>
>>52025746
I'm complaining about the hideous habit of fundementally incomplete codices, such as Thousand Sons, Deathwatch and worst of all Tempestus Scions. This is clearly another one of those.
Furthermore, everything in the lore has pointed towards the fallen angels reuniting with the dark angels and mending the schism in the legion to oppose Abbadon. Doesn't look like this is going to happen anymore based on the creation of a new "army" out of the blue.

For me personaly it's a split between Eldar and Orks.

I like the concept alot for eldur with the whole, remnants of a once great empire lost to hedonism etc etc. But their looks just doesnt get the same feeling across for me.

I want to like orks, but they're too lolrandum, and while i love converting and kitbashing, orks stuff still looks dumb and shitty (inb4 they're supposed to) lastly i just feel they fit the setting.

They have basically the same statline as Stormtroopers AKA the most elite guard type models, except stormies get an extra attack each and unlike 40k, modern armies do not get hardcore close combat experience.

See I think its just the mentality. What army you like can sometimes say a lot about you. Me personally, I just don't see it, but more power to you if you do.

Also everything points to an 8th edition with new events, where every major faction I suppose (hope) will get a new codex. Cypher cannot just appear one day in the Gathering Storm and say "Hey Inner Circle, don't get your feathers rumbled, we're cool, let's be BFFs again", maybe the next codex will have the unified Fallen/Dark Angels after some events. Maybe this is just wishful thinking (which it probably is) but at least I'm not being a negative Nancy about each release.

Chaos:

But some some how a single special character is good enough for a faction with models from 1997.

If the army has models kits with a decade or more of existing they need an update hard.

For fuck sake IG doesn't have access to special weapons unless you buy separate blisters or heavy weapons kits for them.

Hell, Chaos get a standard troop with AP3 shooting and yet i'm stuck at AP5 what gives?
I propose making Tau WS1 BS1 in exchange for AP3 standard shooting like the so called "underpowered" chaos gets, that way we are on par with them and can try to be competitive in high end games instead of falling behind with our underwhelming shooting phase like we do now.

I want go for an Alpha Legion infiltration force, now my question is how Chaos-y do they actually look? From the lore I'd say they are the least chaos corrupted of all the traitor legions, but then again, they had 10000 years to fuck around.

Any ideas?

>>52026321

If I were to make an AL army, I'd use the Burning of Prospero/Betrayal at Calth marines. Because AL don't really use chaos iconography.
>>
>>52026201

I like to think that they're an ends to justify the means kind of faction. They were ousted by the other Dangles because one side or the other went traitor. They had to take allies where they could, but they are firmly against chaos, hence their CtA alliance with Daemons. I could see them working with legions like the 8th and Alpha because they have large chunks of dudes who are anti-daemon, or at least don't straight up worship the gods.

On the imperium side, they use the Dangles secrecy against them since no one knows them to be Fallen. If a bunch of Marines in black armor and robes show up to an imperial battle and start killing their enemies, I don't think anyone in the imperium would think anything of it, except the Dangles.

The end result is that they get to move their plots forward, so they do.

I go with a very simple colour scheme for my warriors, they are not supposed to be of much importance or well maintained, they should just function. A bit of grime building up on them, since nobody cares for them.
Immortals will look a little bit better, when I come around to paint them.
The Lychguard will look nicely painted, with some fine details and bits of gold, while my Overlord has lots of gold on him, and a body looking like it was just built from the best materials.
Vehicles/Canotek will look a bit unremarkable, nothing special, save for the Command Barge of course.

I'm kinda of the opinion that now that terminators are a few points cheaper, the real issue isn't "make them 2 wound!" "make them T5", but rather that Stormbolters are a shitty, shitty weapon.

Since Termies are meant to clear bunkers and space hulks and such, I figure the ideal equipment is a heavy flamer as their standard sidearm. It's fluffy, and makes them worth talking.

Another weird bit though is the sergeant's sword. It makes a lot of sense to have an at-initiative guy to cut down plebs before they can swamp the unweildy guys, but a power sword gives up too much compared to a fist. Maybe make it a relic blade? S6 at initiative would be pretty neato.

I just how that they make the objective cards appropriate in the future.

Astra Militarum's cards are awful. They have a huge amount of melee/destruction ones that just aren't in tune with the faction.

>>52027386
They're definitely a group of Space Marines. :P
>>
>>52027355
I honestly just hope that they roll them all together in a Traitor Legions style book, even if it'll be a fuckhuge codex. Then, to easily and fairly sell the Tactical Objectives, sell them as a special box with generic Astrates objectives and 6 unique ones included for every chapter, so the 30 core cards, 6 generic cards and 60 chapter specific cards, 6 for every of the 10 rules endorsed chapters.

Sallys are fun because they burn stuff. Everyone wants to be maximum edge with I REPLACED MY LIMBS or I AM SOLID SNAKE IN POWER ARMOR or ITS WOLFTIME WULFEN BRAND WOLFCHOW.

But Sallys like to burn stuff. And they aren't autistic about it like the Sisters of Battle. They are actually just nice dudes, cleanin up with fire. "Hello, there, citizen! It's a cold day and you are standing close to a heretic. I can solve two problems with one foosh for you!"

Back when I was a tweaker I walked into a shop high as balls but the guy running the place had the patience of a saint and taught me how to paint something I could barely even hold, that shit was life changing in a lot of ways and 10 years later the same guy is still there friendly as ever.

>>52027429
I meant that it should just include all of the chapters that have their own codex as well and include all the Angels of Death things. Centralize everything and just sell (or better yet provide online for free) a single mega codex.

Hahaha! That's a nice one! Yeah, I like the salamanders because they are very friendly dudes. They kill xenos and heretics, but help the people affected afterwards.

Except for those people Vulkan had personally burned to death for coexisting peacefully with Eldar. I'm glad he got fucked up by an Ork. He can eat a dick.

>>52027532

One of the reassurances GW gave said that it wasn't the end times, that was a fantasy thing. This is the time of ending.

They're not very good at straight up saying "We aren't going to completely burn down the ruleset."

Plus side, we do at least know the setting will merely be advanced to a less interesting point on the timeline rather than scrapped entirely.

Someone make a GW edit of this.
>>
>>52027039
It's a meme.
Tau generally has one (1) viable unit or strategy. Before it was Fish of Fury. Right now it's the Riptide Wing, which any codex can take thanks to 7th ed Ally rules.
So when a WAAC sees an 1850-point Eldar list where 500 of those points are Riptides, they blame...Tau, of course. It's the meme.
I mean, after all, Riptides are pretty broken. They're so hard to kill, and they have such range! Nevermind that the Tau codex which literally has the Riptide isn't Tier 1, nevermind that other codexes like Eldar have even stronger MCs, nevermind that simply bringing Grav counters the Riptide, it's an unreasonable unit so we need to perpetuate the meme. It's vital.

If you want actual criticism of the codex, the "unfun" part comes from everything in the codex being a tailorable glass cannon. It's not very fun for your opponent when you're simply steamrolling through their army thanks to how absolutely versatile your codex is, and it's not very fun for you if you forgot to bring enough Plasma for MEQs or Cyclic/Airbust/Burst for blobs so your units end up doing nothing while blowing up for five turns.

And the Tau'nar is a genuinely overpowered unit that can singlehandedly carry a game, as the rare tournament where it's legal shows.
>>
Why would anyone ever play an NPC race like Tyranids?
It would be better to remove them from the game as a playble faction and just add action tables for them.
>>
>>52027602
But it's a NEW AGE. The AGE OF STORMS or whatever.
>>
>>52027532
Literally doesn't matter. Terra could blow up, the Emperor could die, the Emperor could revive, Abby and the rest of the Chaos crew can win or die, none of it matters.

Literally any conceivable plot point outside of squatting can be spun to continue the narrative. If you can't imagine how any of those events could be followed up with engaging and reasonable plot, you're uncreative and dumb.
>>
Do we have literally any of the new GK rules yet?
>>
>>52027659

It's apparently got rules for allowing you to field grey knights against non-daemons.
>>
Will 8th ed be this year then you think?
>>
>>52027698
It's the old Daemonhunter nemesis rules.
>>
>>52027683

Librarian dude is a grandmaster statline with an at-initiative nemesis hammer and ML3 generating one bonus power from sanctic on top of his normal ones for 240 points, so he's pretty boss. You can take him as your HQ and he's pretty close to Draigo without needing to tax both an HQ and a Lord of War.
>>
>>52027716
Any special powers, or just Sanctic?
>>
>>52027723

He can generate from wherever, the bonus one is sanctic.
>>
>>52027735
I mean does he have a unique sanctic power, or are you just paying for at-initiative AP2 over a base Librarian with the Relic?
>>
>>52027635
*Cough*OptimizedStealthCadre*Sneeze*

Also, no Tau player is allowed to talk about Glass Cannons when a Dark Eldar player is in the room.
>>
>>52027742

And a grandmaster statline.

For fuck's sake man, I said generate didn't I?
>>
>>52027762
I guess I was just hoping for more, somehow...
>>
There is literally not a single reason anymore to ever take the Raiment of the Technomartyr when having access to Cawl's relics, is there?
>>
>>52027744
tell me how it is going to work against a horde army...
>>
>>52027744
>Also, no Tau player is allowed to talk about Glass Cannons when a Dark Eldar player is in the room.
The issue isn't that they're glass cannons, it's that they're tailorable glass cannons.
So your 55pt-a-model MEQs with Fusions will either stomp vehicles or simply die to any medium-sized blob because they can only put out 2 BS3 shots a turn, for example.

The logic that most Tau haters use is that, in either situation, one player isn't having fun. Which is a reasonable argument to make, but it's not really something exclusive to Tau.
>>
>>52026968
>give stormbolters access to special ammo
>bump them to Assault 2/4 (can charge after firing, but can fire more if stand still/relentless)
>Tac squad vet sergeants get special ammo

Now stormbolters are worth using, and even worth taking on normal squads.
>>
>>52027775

Yeah man I mean S10 at initiative 5 whilst flat out replacing the most used HQ otherwise how weaksauce.
>>
>>52027804
For about twice the points, and if it's a grandmaster statline it's only s8. You need either a heavy thunderhammer or the Fist of Dorn for s10.
>>
>>52027820

Despite the appearance, I've never found it worth a damn to rely on GK psychic powers. You don't get enough units to create a battery, the dice are unreliable, and if you really want to get one off the opponent can usually crush it. Psychic powers are nice when they happen, but unless you're Tzeentch Daemons, I wouldn't dare rely on them.

Quick question what Knights I can build with the Knight Warden Kit?

There is someone selling one for almost nothing, but I have no idea if the warden comes with Knight Crusader parts
>>
>>52024596
>There are a lot of very minor cameos in the book including two (and only two) of Magnus’ traitor brothers.
Fulgrim and Mortarion? Or Lorgar and Angron?
>>
>>52028024
Any of the plastic knights can be assembled
>>
>>52027802
The worst part is the threat they pose is completely front-loaded.

For armies that move and shoot to get into melee, or just rush into melee, you spend the first few turns getting shot at, then you have to deal with their ridiculous overwatch and supporting fire, then you just curb stomp them.

I had a game once where I charged a unit of fire warriors, and the terminator unit I charged with took 89 shots in one "instance" of overwatch and was completely wiped out from fire warriors because of ethereal buffs and supporting fire.
>>
>>52028024
You can build any of the non-forgeworld Knights, so Paladin, Errant, Gallant, Warden and Crusader. I have one I'm currently working on magnetising.
>>
>>52028066
>>52028050
Why they have so many kits if you can build all of them?
>>
>>52028024
Like said, all variants. But you cant build some combinations of Renegade Knights since you only get single weapons of each.
>>
>>52028081
You'll always get the Knight Warden box, but you can assemble all of the others, the options are in the box.
>>
>>52027926

Posted about my brother wanting to start Necrons for cheap a few threads ago. How's this list for a beginner (He already has an Overlord and I'd suggest him getting another SC! Necrons box and their Armored Assault bundle) and what kind of power level should I bring against it when getting him adjusted to how the game works? Anything I should really not bring from AdMech or Space Marines against this list to keep it fun and fair and not too complex?
>>
>>52027408
The melee ones are appropriate. You should always be having 1-2 30-50 man blobs pushing up the field ready to fix bayonets. If you don't, you're playing 7th wrong.
>>
>>52028161
Oh FFS why did that shit copy the whole post headline as well when it wasn't even selected.
>>
>>52028161
Why two Overlords (Aside from probably just having two of them lie around)? I guess you could fit some Lychguard in there and just one Overlord, so you have something for melee.
>>
>>52028197
Yeah, it's mostly just having two lying around. Wanted to keep the list limited to those two boxes due to him wanting to not spend more than he has to, as he's not yet planning to get REALLY into it and just wants to play the game with me and a mutual friend and wants to build some things.

>>52028515
If you can find it anywhere, try getting the Eradication Cohort. It's a great fuckign deal and the only thing you'll not use are the Priests. Add another Kataphron unit to it and you'll have almost everything you'll ever need. If you buy a Sicarian unit on top of that, you'll literally have everything you'll ever really need since you were planning to get a Knight already anyway.
