I want to try and convince a friend to play a phat point game. Mainly so I can field a bunch of my favourite models and try and pull off my dream play of turning my warlord into a Daemon prince affording me a prince and two bloodthirsters with one use of the 7 point ability

This is what I can smash together out of what I have while still being within a sorta reasonable point value. Does this look shitty enough to play and be ashamed of myself for being dumb? Tottoaly oregano post not repeated from last fred

I hope the BigMarines actually mechanically represent the fact that Astartes are supposed to be peerless gods of war who can conquer an entire planet with 1000 men. Right now they're only slightly better guardsmen if you go by stats. Elite armies ftw.

>>52127217
Depends on whether or not the numarines end up being, well, numarines. There still remains the possibility that they're just marines with the newest equipment. If this ends up being the case, as a BT player I'll definitely be a bit frustrated, because I doubt they'll have BT bits for them, and everything about the aesthetic seems to be austere and modern, which is the opposite of the Templars' style.

>>52127333
He was pretty shite but we all loved him

If you knew anything about AoS you'd know that they are anything but static. There are numerous spells and abilities and weapons that affect hit/wound rolls as well as saves.

The rend mechanic is one of the best design changes ever. If incorporated into 40k, it would make armor saves relevant again.

Can someone help me in a direction to go with chaos? I have one flaming chariot built, one not. I have a box of rubrics, two boxes of the tzangores, and the chaos stuff from dark vengeance. I'm thinking of a way to use as much as I have without buying a shit load of more models. It's doesn't have to be great just the best of what I can do. I am brand new to chaos and got all of this as a gift.

Thanks in advance

Hey /40k/ same anon from a few weeks ago who played his Blood Angels army against that Tau player who kept eating Kraft Singles. Got a new story about him from today.

So I went to my flgs with a 1000 point list, it was pretty fluffy but my main goal was to play my new Baal Pred and try and find a use for it. The Tau player was there (We'll call him Cheesy for now) and yet again, had another package of Kraft Singles with him that he would unwrap and eat every few minutes. Now from the past few weeks I heard some storys about him from other players (I'm still new with this group of people) and most of which confirmed that very few people liked him but he was harmless though a bit of a dick as he always enjoyed using the same Tau tatics, "move very little but shoot a lot." He asked if I wanted to play him today and I asked to see his list first. Surprise surprise, same list he beat me with last time, drone shields and fuck ton ignore cover. I declined, just saying that most my list would get wiped off the table turn 1 and that I was mostly playing today just to experiment. He gave me this really creepy grin and said "Scared I'm gonna beat you again?" It was about that time I could smell him, he must of hit a bong before he arrived cause he reeked of pot, and as we finished talking he pulled out another Kraft Single.

Shortly after I found an Ork player to match with, new like me and had a close but fun match, him beating me by a couple of points. Meanwhile Cheesy was matched with an Eldar player... he wasn't having as much fun. Every once and awhile he would yell so loud in frustration do to poor dice rolls. This happened multiple times before the organizer for our games asked Cheesy to keep it down and to not curse so much as kids frequent this shop. I will never forget what happened next.

Continuing...

Can I get some feedback on this list?

>>52127624
Cheesy glared at our organizer before literally REEEEing at the top of his lungs. It was hard to make out most of what he said cause he was sorta blabbering like Don Vito from Viva La Bam. Which surprised most people I guess cause as far as everyone knew he was not Italian, we all attributed it to his obesity and perhaps autism. What I did manage to make out was this. "Tell me to fucking calm down!? Why the fuck do we even let Eldar trash play here when all they bring is their OP cheese lists!"

That's when the Eldar player literally spoke up. "Coming from the Tau player that literally eats cheese as he tries to table newbies by turn 2." Cheesy went into this fit of rage and lunged at the guy from across the table, crushing a few of the miniatures under him. What he forgot about was most of these tables are flimsy as fuck, so as soon as he applied a bit of pressure the whole thing came collapsing down, him as well to the floor. Before he could get back up the Organizer and a few other people pinned him while the Eldar player freaked the fuck out cause a couple hundred dollars of his miniatures either broke on the floor or was now under this fat, smelly guy. That's when the store owner came in and helped kick Cheesy out of his shop, while a few other guys collected up his Tau pieces to send of. Eldar player went off to press charges.

Nothing else happened besides talking about the events. And now Cheesy is banned from the store. I'm kinda upset by that cause that was one of the most entertaining things I ever seen. RIP Cheesy.

Also I found a use for my Baal Pred to crack open transports with his Assault Cannon, so I guess there is that.

>>52127404
I don't know shit about AoS, but i'm assuming that it works by "lowering" armor save? That would be pretty awesome.

It surprising how little ways there is of lowering armor in 40k. Although, given the abundance of low AP, that would essentially be the same as removing it.

>>52127785
In WHFB armor saves always worked different than in 40k. I guess 40k tries to take the ability of a projectile to penetrate armor into account.

People complaining that 40k could get an AoS ruleset don't know how good the AoS rules actually are or how tactically complex things can become without needing a textbook of rules.

I'd have two Onagers minimum at 1500 points, and one Dragoon isn't going to make even its meager points back if it's alone. Infiltrators are cool and fun, but you never really need more than 5 of them for anything.

>>52128491

Know a guy who uses egg cartons to transport his Ig.

>>52128407
My friend didn't want to use bikes or raptors in the FA slot so we houseruled him to be able to take a blight drone instead. Way cooler IMO.

>>52128491
usually the big GW case. its good for hordes but sucks for models who are significantly larger than a rhino, especially in the height department.

>>52127490

I think you'll find TheDarkCity serves for the latter as well.

No joke this is some guys signature:

"Because people get offended when you tell them your credentials in the middle of a debate, I'm listing them here:
I'm a genius with around 150 IQ.(Not an internet test. Rolling Eyes )
Roughly 90% wins in 40k
Top 20% of every major GT entered, including the LVO and Adepticon
I can look at 2 units w/ their special rules and tell you which one is better in X circumstance without doing math.
I hope these things help you to understand me as a person, so that I don't come across as arrogant when I talk to you. I'm not normal. The difference between my IQ and the average person is greater than the difference between the average person and someone who is mentally retarded. Imagine everyone around you being very slow to understand, if at all, of all of the things you instantly understand. It makes interaction difficult. People take offense easily. I mean no offense. Please forgive me."

The autism is strong.

>>52128480

Nah been there done that, not worth the effort.

>>52128491
if you mean by physically transport and not metal boxes I (tau player, though not a cheesemeister) magnetised my riptide and my ghostkeel at the hip as well as weapons and any other bits that were sticking out too much, allows for me to pose (kind of) while saving me space. As fo hordes I can't help you there since I don't have any.
For my valks (I also play guard) I magnetised the wings and the rudder section as well.

>>52128449
The only way to give him two pistols is with the parasite's kiss.
That's what you're going for, right?

>>52128491
I use armytransport brand bag and pluck foam.

An ex girlfriend of mine actually had a neat method for her deldar. Cut circles from magnetic sheets and glued them to the bottom of bases, then put the miniatures in a metal toolbox. Great for gribbly, spiky gits.

>>52128449
I do like the pistol pose(reminiscent of a JoJo style pose), but with the other 4 arms it makes it REALLY busy. The main concern I have is how hard it'll be to paint between all those arms. The Archon model as a base is an interesting choice, but that's not to say that there aren't Haemonculi that like to be well armored(in Dark Eldar terms).

>>52128550

Yeah its the one with the human spine for a handle. Not an efficient build but I wanted one duel weilding char, since my force are pirates.

What should I know if I ever want to actually play them?

I wanted him super busy desu, I just love the idea of all those fleshy arms extending to spell doom to some poor guardsman as he is picked appart and drained by 6 different little arms.

It will be a pain to paint though.

Used an archon since I have one of the old metal ones and I had 2 of the plastic ones from start collecting boxes :/ used the other to make my sucubus from an old scourge torso, I count the husk blade as an archite glaive (Huskblade used to be AP2 after all)

If he actually was that smart, he wouldn't be complaining about how it was difficult to understand people. He would be complaining about how boring it is to do seemingly normal things. People with 150+ IQ's tend to suffer from a problem called Ennui, because their extreme intelligence makes everything too easy. And when everything is too easy, it becomes boring, which in turn makes it difficult.

Like even watching 'exciting action movies' is difficult because you can't watch it without instantly obtaining an in-depth understanding of the entire plot. Nothing will surprise you, nothing comes out of left field. Even all of the fight sequences will just seem totally mundane, because you understand exactly why every little movement is made, moments before it happens.

> Why play a game of chess when you can beat them 6 turns in advance?
> Why should I do my math homework when it takes me all of 3 seconds to do each problem?
> Why should I play these video games, when I can just generate an entire minecraft world in my head?
> Why should I eat this fancy food, when I already know how it tastes?
> What's the point in talking to people when I already know what they're going to say?
> Why should I read this book when I already know the entire plot just 10 pages in?

Guys, if the Emperor couldn't make female space marines work--the super intelligent genius geneticist-biologist-physicist-psyker-asshole-dad-scientist--what makes you think some simple mechanicus guy and one of his sons can do? Guilliman isn't evne known for genius, he's known for statesmanship.

>>52128730
read the book, it has nothing to do with that

>>52128729
You'd still have oldmarines and oldsisters, but Numarines would be egalitarian.

>>52128720
I'm not. Chaos tend to need metal boxes to hide in, Skitarii get dunestrider and are a little more economic in that sense. They also hold objectives exceptionally well. You should find a comp of vanguard/rangers you're happy with that fills all the bases your knights aren't covering, but still has some redundancies in place for the moment one of them gets capped. I'm a proponent of the idea that you should play what you like though, so if you prefer the chaos aesthetic go for that.

>>52128628

This fucking guy, once chided me for asking a question when i was new to the army.

I asked if 4 venoms and 4 raiders was enough to be effective at 2000pts or if I needed more regular skimmers.

He said nah take just venoms (boring as fuck), when I said "well thats kind of boring but I'll think about it, take a mix"

He then ranted about how i had wasted his time and that he had given his time for free and that usually people had to pay for it (hes a lawyer) So I should take his advice.

I naturally told him to Fuck off. He then continued bitching at me for 3-4 posts. I had unsubbed from the thread, but someone tagged me back in so then I came back and read the shit he had said about me and new players like me. told him exactly what I thought of him.

He then sent me some very condescending PMs basically demanding that I apologize. Ignored him and he must have stopped wasting his precious time because he doesn't bug me anymore.

Then had about 4 people tell him he was an idiot and apologize to me and said they were not all like that. I got the impression it wasn't the first time.

What a twat. I can't tell if he is just delusional, or actually has a mental condition like Autism.

Looks like our standards went out the window this weekend. Look at all these generals using official, GW sanctioned art instead of memes.
I considered saying something last night, but then I thought, "What if starting a thread with a meme image sets the tone? What if beginning with memes leads to a higher garbage content?" So I refrained.

Yet I was unable to monitor the experiment. Has this comfy conformity improved post content or lead to a reduction in shitposting and an increase in quality discussion?

Would Sicarian Infiltrators make a good killteam? also, can I start without them on the board and then infiltrate them in like normal, or do I have to start them on the board as otherwise I'd have no forces playing.

>>52128464
I don't play Chaos much so I can't say for sure but I don't see anything that stands out as being wrong with it. Couple melta, handful of combi-plasma, lots of autocannons, tough spawn, tough DP. Should do well against anything not Eldar tier.

>>52128800

They get to infiltrate like normal. Brutal.

Used an Alpha legion killteam like that. 10 cultist 5 chosen with assorted spec weps. All of it infiltrates, just deploy on objectives and you have a massive advantage early game!

>>52128813

Its probably something he considers "beneath him"

>>52128763

Wait, female CSM are canon? Cite your shit.

You might consider the plague staff instead of the burning brand. Its a flamer as well, and it gives you S 8 in CC so you can ID Marines.

>>52127803
Bite the bullet, take a turkey. One flyer and you could be GG.

>>52128741
It was an active decision on the Emperor's part to not make female Space Marines. He could have done it in a heartbeat if he wanted to.

>>52128800
They'd be pretty good in killteam, provided they don't get shot to shit prior to combat.

The assault 5 shred pistols they get would be dangerous.

>>52128844

He's talking about that weird ass birthing method from hell for making CSM, not proper female space marines.

Just faggot headcanon. It's never stated specifically in the fluff other than to say the process doesn't work on females.

Not reason given.

You're right Renegades do it better,

You're not using the Legion DG rules right? Because you'd have to give the cultists MoN if that was the case.

I would drop your CSM detachment in favor of daemons however. Since nothing about that list is DG or fluffy just go full crunch

It was a long time ago, but I think your average craft store. Literally the stuff a refrigerator magnet is made from. Pretty cheap too. Make sure you don't leave the metal tool box in your car during the summer though, especially if you have resin. The molten ghost of urien rakarth has spoken.

What I'm primarily worried about is the fact that the skitarii list has knights of varying speeds, the cerastus being in danger of drop pods/screening with my horde of skitarii far behind. With the chaos knights they can double up on weapons and just stand there without exposing 3 flanks where the ion shield isn't present. Don't take me defending the chaos variant as being biased either, I'm just confused really. I can see skitarii being better objective holders with far superior weapon choices aside from lascannon havocs or oblits

Calibre. Print to PDF. B5 paper. That's what I've found to give the best result so far. Takes about a day and if I'm doing something else, it's likely to crash (runs out of memory). So I try to start it so that it completes during the night. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

>>52129023
I would have been more sympathetic if you had meant Chaos Daemons but if you're actually losing to CSM as Tau you're probably just bad or playing fair lists and you have more skillful opponents.

>>52129023
Post your list, give us some idea of what sort of Chaos lists you usually face, someone might be able to help.

My GK after a recent re-basing on the Purifiers.

>>52129023
Are you just standing in place and letting him come at you? My buddy plays loyalists and refuses to play in any method other than a big fuck off, unmoving gunline and every game I just throw blobs at one flank, shoot the other flank then consolidate my entire army in the middle. We're at 8-2 my way. Chaos suffers from mediocre firepower and slow move speed which are both things tau are particuarly good at taking advantage of.

Khorne berserkers that basically got locked in melee combat round one that I believe were word bearer.
Night lords list with 4 fiends and 2 helldrakes in some crazy formations
Some other list that had 2 daemon princes

I am not saying wargaming is for retards, I am saying that geniuses, which 150 IQ is, are probably not very interested in it. You sound a bit defensive.

Screw off. Guys, don't respond to this retard. He probably is resentful to the intelligent and he is dumb.

>>52129002
IQ doesn't measure knowledge, just mental adaptability and aptitude for new things. This guy actually sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

>>52129315
I am not trying to be condescending, I am trying to say that if you claim you're a genius, and have to prove that on an imageboard, chances are you're not a genius.

In what way have I acted big?

>>52129330
Because all people with high iqs are exactly alike and have a set list of hobbies they're allowed to enjoy amirite?

To be honest, if they found a lore explanation for why the Imperium can suddenly make female muhreens when they couldn't in previous editions, I wouldn't care if female heads appeared on the sprues.

If these Numarine rumours hold water, Cawl being able to figure out how to make gene-seed take to female candidates would be fine by me, it'd double their recruiting figures overnight so there'd be a practical reason to do it in-universe.

Just going 'oh they could always do it' as a straight retcon would be lazy tho.

>>52129261
Well don't know if you're trolling, but anyways:
it's good that you're taking college courses, it's good you're straight A'ing them.
It's good that you help homeless people (imo more important than good grades).
It's good that you're writing a book.

It does not however make you exceptional or a genius.

>>52129336

I stand on its ashes sifting though the bones. Society died when people started caring about feelings more than fact.

Will I be lost if I read a book like fulgrim or Prospero burns out if order from the rest of hh?

>>52129355
>if they found a lore explanation for why the Imperium can suddenly make female muhreens when they couldn't in previous editions, I wouldn't care if female heads appeared on the sprues.

Basically this. I don't object to female Marines because I dislike the idea, I object to them because the fluff, at current, says it can't happen. If these nuMarines are produced using different techniques, then fine.

Though it does raise the question as to why Caul and Guilliman are able to produce more, better super-soldiers than the Emperor himself.

>>52129368
This, any academic qualification below a full-blown PdD doesn't immediately mark you as anything exceptional these days, and even then not all doctors are geniuses by any means.

>>52129355
Honestly I'm divided on the issue, on the one hand I don't really care that much, like I wouldn't quit over it or anything. But at this point I feel it's so baked into the background of the astartes it'd feel like a bit of a cop out to back out now.

>>52129388
It is because of hormones, and simply put the emprah tried it, but it failed, just like his webway, and his government.

>>52129352
I'd argue that geniuses have a pretty limited interest in hobbies at all.
Being a genius is not the same thing as being smart though.
I claim to be neither smart or a genius, I am average, like I expect most people here to be.

ironically if they want to be accurate the female heads would look like the current heads, not the super qt lolis in power armour the degens want so badly.

steroids (ie: testosterone) makes women look more masculine. just look at female bodybuilders.

the amount of shit a woman would have to be on to make them as strong as a space marine, well they're basically fucking transgender at that point.

GW mangles lore I like constantly, geneseed being male-only isn't a sacred cow to me compared to some of the shit they've re-written over the years.

>>52129388
>Though it does raise the question as to why Caul and Guilliman are able to produce more, better super-soldiers than the Emperor himself.

Cawl, though not as Ubermensch as the Emperor, is still a pure scientist at heart with a strict leaning to mental augmentation and theoretical assesment, I strongly doubt that even the Emperor himself was that much above Belsarius at this state (people keep forgetting that the Emperor had scientists working with him on the Primarchs and Astartes engrams, he didn't do it all himself), and the Archmagos has had a lot longer to mull over the specifics, research takes time and, typically, more research time dedicated will yield more results.

>>52129330

I'm not the guy you've been arguing with and I honestly have no stake in this argument. I don't know what my IQ is. I don't really care either. I do well for myself and that's all that really matters. I don't need to shore up my insecurities by pointing at a number or tearing others down on the internet.

I was merely attempting to point out that you are making a broad generalization with little to back it up beyond your own assumptions. Having an interest in music is no more inherently intelligent that having an interest in war gaming is unintelligent.

I understand you are attempting to poke at the insecure and provoke them into responding to you. There are a lot of people in the hobby who are not necessarily well adjusted, and many of those hide their insecurities by proclaiming their intellectual superiority. I assume you take offense to this, or at least I hope you do, because if you are doing this for no other reason than to irritate them then you are an asshole.

Even if you are doing this because they irritate you it's still pointless to argue about this and all you are doing is inviting contention into the thread and generally detracting from the possibility of good productive conversation.

I humbly request that you let it drop. There is nothing to be gained by provoking the other anons in this thread.

I have an uncle that doctorated, in some kind of field of math, of all things.
He's super smart when it comes to some things, and fucking retarded when it comes to others (won't take care of himself, he's being a glutton etc).

I think most people are autistic, some are interested in people and socializing (the people that'd like to think themselves not autistic), other are more introvert and choose to express themselves with art, music or for that matter fucking warhammers.
I doubt very much however that you'd find the top tier geniuses enjoying colouring and playing with plastic men, not saying not smart people can't enjoy it, just not the top strata geniuses.

So much autism. Better go back to obsessing over numerical values in itemized lists of fictional space soldiers.

Well said.

>>52129388
In Master of Mankind, the Emperor asks Arkhan Land, another Mechanicum adept, for information on the archaeotech implants that are installed into Angron.

He's powerful, has millennia of experience and may even be a kind of god, but he's not omniscient.

Cawl is easily the leading mind of the Adeptus Mechanicus at this point.

>>52129462
Knowledge is powerless before some things.

By armor I mean tanks, APC, Humvees, etc.

There's a BL shortstory where some stormies (tempestus scions) complete a mission and even though they weren't ordered to try to assassinate a warboss despite their standing orders and they all end up dying because of it

so that shit can be ignored as you like

>>52129493

I hate blueberries.

>>52129388
More numerous maybe, better as a definitive term? Questionable.

Being able to create marines of both genders would double the base stock of humans that could potentially serve the emperor, however it may come at a cost of quality and lower overall standards.

OK.

I did however never say that being involved with music makes you smart, that's extrapolating my statement that geniuses are into music or art.
And I think you knew this too when you replied, so you're just as much guilty for derailing.

But I am going to stop now, tho let it be known:
He who declares himself a genius is only fooling himself

>>52129434
As I said I'm not super cut up on the issue but it's been such a defining trait of the astartes for such a long time now that it'd be kinda lame to just completely flip on it.

And Stormtroopers are no longer a singular entity, it's perfectly reasonable for your Stormtroopers to be specifically chosen based on initiative and their capacity for personal decision making and have the entire thing being lore friendly.

>>52129418
>incorporate tau things

Not sure how this would help, Tau are still firmly below Great Crusade era CultMech in terms of general technological ability, even with their rapid advancement. It'd definitely help the current AdMech, as their abilities fluctuate wildly with a lot of stuff being better and a lot of stuff being worse than Blueberry equivalents, but the Emperor probably had access to better lab-tech than the Tau could pull out for now.

>>52129512
No, just remembered reading about it like a year ago.

I have a feeling the Ordinatus doesn't count, so the Triaros 'Pain Train' Armoured Conveyer's probably my favourite. I really am a horrible Mechanicusfag though so there's probably a few levels of biased rationalisation layered in there.

I really love Blood-Slaughterers. Ridiculous name aside they're daemon engines that don't look completely retarded. And the whole harpoon gun making vehicles and MCs move towards you is pretty cool.
