Kindly no Gathering Storm or 8th edition. If that is your cup of tea, please go elsewhere, especially if you're just going to shill or troll. For all intents and purposes, it's not the same universe.

If you take a formation and a CAD from the same codex in one army can the units from the formation start the game embarked in non-dedicated transport vehicles from the CAD and vice versa ?

In my case it would be: can I take an Aquila Kill Team formation from the Deathwatch codex and put them inside a Drop Pod bought in a CAD as a Fast Attack unit from the same codex ?
>>

Yes they can, Same Faction detachments ignore the FAQ about not being able to embark in BB transports

Hi guys, from the Horus Heresy novels I've already read "A Thousand Sons" and "Betrayer" and I really liked both.

Prolem is I don't know wich onw I could read now, I'm tempted by one of the following:
>Prospero Burns
>The Master of Mankind
>Angel Exterminatus
>Legion

What do you say?

Btw I'm also tempted by "Hellsreach" even though is not part of the HH.

They'll actually have to make some pretty big changes to Ld values across the board.

Take Kataphron Servitors (or any similar model) for example. They're 3 models per unit at Ld8. If they lose 1 or 2 models, they'd have to make a morale save, which would be 1d6+1/2. They literally would be unable to fail morale that way.

They were already removed.
Let me spell it out for you. Not every unit comes out ahead in the new editions. Your cataclysms (don't let Blizz know you stole their name) are going to be like carnifexes were in the last 3 editions.

But Slaanesh models are boobles since 4th ed. Only Exeption is FW KoS.

How is Carnifexes being nerfed to absolute shit related to Kataphrons and units with similar constellations (such as Centurions, Incubi, Windriders and several others) and Leadership values breaking the way the new morale works if they don't change the new standard for Leadership?

That's it. Absolutely nothing else was 100% confirmed yet and every single one of their rules ideas are still in development and might or might not be implemented.
>>
>>52325809
>why?
Split fire and skilled rider. Split fire so when there's a vehicle in range the frag cannons can fire at it while the bolters can focus on infantry. Skilled rider is a bonus and will let them auto-pass dangerous terrain if I have to DS away from the beacons.

>also, for fucks sake, buy some melta/frag cannons
There are already frag cannons there and getting melta guns will hike up the price of the vets. With DW you need to get the most out of your bolters and stuff you get for "free" on the unit, including the lascannons on the Land Raider.

Calling it now; charging models striking first is negated by charging through cover (without assault grenades) or unwieldy weapons, which put you back on normal initiative.

Which means marine power fists and axes become godly, while ork power klaws still only get to go after they are already dead (and now even mega armour doesn't help, because marine unwieldy weapons go first anyway and armour save modifiers mean 2+ saves are even worse than they are now).

3) Fulgrim becomes loyalist again.
4) Slaanesh is either dead or becomes a good guy.
5) Khan and the Scars turn traitor.
6) The last alliance of elves and men (and Tau).
7) Guilliman drops the xenophobic attitude of the Imperium, and Terra becomes a center of diplomacy and cultural exchange between different alien species. (Except for necrons.)
8) All the evil guys, Necrons, Orcs and Chaos, ally together against the forces of good.
9) The church is disbanded due to being too grimdark and xenophobic. SoBs are squatted. They are superfluous due to female marines, and frankly misogynist fetish bait.

Movement is now a stat just like early 40k and they say they're completely getting rid of the concept of unit types and every unit will have its own special rules instead of having universal special rules in the main rulebook also just like early 40k.

Yes, that's the point. That's how the Kill Team gets the split fire and skilled rider rues.

I need the split fire so that the bolters don't sit around with thumbs up their assess when the cannon fires at vehicles

The what ?

>tat way, when you DS 2 inches behind the enamy, you have the double shot assult lascannons, whislt retaining the SIA.
Spellcheck man. The cannon drops in with it's team and either shoots at a vehicle with split fire or helps wiping out infantry/MCs with the rest of the team.
>>

nope, its been known that they were going to do this for months now, its not even that big a deal, considering that 40k has trash rules anyway. Bloat is just as bad as 4 pages of rules.

How would it work on armourless units that rely on invulnerable (Daemons)

>>
>>52325966

I kinda agree.

last time I played a friendly game with friends we used 6e rules (didn't have any 7e on hand), and one turn took a pretty long time. At one point, one player had to up and leave because they had priorities in the morning.

So that said I welcome more simplified rules and faster, streamlined gameplay.

They're not 100% completely rebooting the setting so that's good. Cadia got fucked but lmao, a planet dying in 40k is just a Tuesday.

What I am thinking fluffwise is that Ultramar will be the Eastern Roman Empire and the Imperium of Man will be the Western Roman Empire. Or something like that.

What should I get for my space marines next? I've got 1 rhino, 2 5-man assault squads, 2 10-man tactical squads, a captain, command squad, and that's it.

A step backward. I too complain about how barebones the system is and would wish for more strategy but this give me flashbacks to the old Warzone with every shooting being a math phase.

>>52325859
AoS managed to make WHFB profitable again, so they're doing the same to 40k. Not really surprising, but still disappointing. A lot of the AoS-style mechanics are complete downgrades from the current system, even if the current system does need fixing. For example, having unique rules on every datacard means that the number of total special rules in the game will balloon. Sure, you can see all the rules on that datasheet, but it's not like you couldn't make yourself a cheat-sheet for current USR's and datasheets.

>you swap your pistols for bolters for free
There are no pistols. If you mean your chainswords I'm waiting for the next FAQ to clarify the matter of the shotguns and special weapons. I don't want to assemble vets with special weapons or heavy weapons and bolters just for them to say that you can't have both on a model like they did with the shotguns - I had to put those on the shelf since I don't want to disassemble them.
>you then take 4 frag cannons this is for the pod squds who dont have bikes at all
You don't want to do that. That's 22 points per model plus 100 points for the cannons, barebones, on models with T4 and a 3+ save. Each wound hurts like hell and it's too easy to wipe them all out in one shooting. If you can split fire then you want to divide those cannons to protect them since you do not have to focus fire with the squad like you would with say Devastators.
>Split fire is not worth the points for a bike,
Disagreed.
>and skilled rider isnt confried to the unit.
It is, check the rule.

That was supposed to be sarcastic. Shitmar's "every unit needs a bunch of unique rules" actually makes things more complex overall, it just cuts down on the amount of reading "necessary" to start playing the game.

The real issue with 7E USR's is that too many don't really do anything and too many factions resort to making their own super special versions of rules that already exist (Reanimation Protocols versus Feel no Pain, Warpflame versus Soul Blaze, like half the Eldar codex, etc).

Malifaux fag here, its not that it adds tons of tactical depth, but it requires you to take risks, which can create more interesting games. Do you do the thing that could win you the game, as long as you get the initiative, but could destroy you if you lose, or do you do the safe thing?

They're about the same rules wise to be honest, both have trash mechanics, the only difference is that 40k fluff is a treasure trove of amazing grimdark mixed with bullshit grimderp, while AoS fluff is just saturday morning cartoon trash.

Honestly, AOS-ing 40k, slashing it and cutting it down to size, gives them the freedom to build it back up later when they start seeing things not work right instead of just adding to the monstrous cancerous bloat like they were doing.

It's probably a good thing in the long run even if, early on, it will likely feel less than great.

Yes, they could make it not fuck over orks. If they wanted to. There is zero indication that they want to. As much as GW have fixed over the last few years, their screwing over of horde armies in general and orks in particular has carried on without any signs of ending.

Essentially three Dreads isn't an overwhelming amount of armor, even at 850. Any mechanized list will be packing at least that much armor, and with infantry that isn't shit accompanying it. That list also has a hefty character tax.

Your average TAC list would have a good game against that list. Maybe you should actually play sometime instead of just shitposting.

Formations are the way the game is played now, and that isn't a crazy amount of armor.

AoS Battleshock is hardest on medium infantry without support since it removes models and not causes wounds. Even Sigmarines with 2 wounds each have only 6 bravery, so rolling poor on battleshock can be a total disaster for them.

40k Battleshock will likely be reworked to impact everyone, with space marines getting ways to increase their bravery or avoid battleshock losses

That argument does absolutely nothing in regards to the actual unit viability of the entire remaining codex.

So you want to play your space marines without lots of tacticals, assault marines, devastators or bikes?

Are you complaining that your all scout & terminator army isn't as viable?
>>
>>52327315
Depends on various things. Moulds for popular models wear out faster because they use them more and they replace them more often because they know that they will be able to recover the cost with their best selling boxes. So tactical marines get a new box relatively often, while a niche unit from a niche army (e.g. lootas) will basically be kept around forever.

Im kinda worried by the "command points" thing not because of what it is, but what it represents.

You were the only one that even brought up the claim that they're as bad as fucking orks you illiterate shitposter.

I was arguing that barring those very few formations and unit combinations a vast majority of Space Marine units are incredibly underperforming.
When you have a total of 54 different units and a whopping 8 are used outside of busted formations or for tax purposes, you have a fucking problem, especially when you have over 30 different formations and detachments and only a very minor group of those is viable.

>>52327421
How can you idiots not get the simple concept that having to shoehorn units into a set of very specific configurations in order to make them good does not equate to actual good units?
>>
>>52327487
You know they confirmed mortarian to be the next last night right? The whole DEATHGUARD thing
>>
>>52327455
Yeah, it seems hard to gauge. I mean, technically top-tier Eldar lists are pretty fluffy for Saim Hann. The method they had of using formations to reward more fluffy lists was working for a while, until they removed tax units for the most powerful armies.

I'm fine with there being rewards for running a force with a coherent theme, but how does that work for someone like me whose warband fluff is 3 separate groups allying with eachother?

News flash, NOTHING in the Ork codex is viable. They don't have a formation that lets Boys take several hundred points of vehicles for free. They don't have a formation for Relentless Lootas and Stormboyz charging from deepstrike. They don't have immortal HQs bolstered by psykers.

At most, they have Mekguns, Bikespam, and MANz for anti-tank.

How can you not get the simple concept that being able to run your army in a top tier way, even if 'restricted' by formations (seriously, the only hard requirement in a Gladius is 6 tac squads, you get to choose the transport, assault, and devastator equivalents)

>When you have a total of 54 different units and a whopping 8 are used outside of busted formations or for tax purposes, you have a fucking problem

How do you think things are for armies that A) don't have 54 different units B) don't have any busted formation to use those in and C) don't have 8 that are worth using outside of what formations they do have?

You're literally complaining that you aren't on Eldar/Tau tier where every single unit in your book is viable even when running unbound.

Eventho Tacticals aren't cost efficient on their own, the formations they enable are worth the investment. In a CAD, they are lackluster, but you aren't playing a CAD so who the fuck cares seriously.

You are complaining about being restricted to a few army configurations ? What about armies that have only one """good""" build or none at all ?

And to add insult to injury, the choices that are given to you play very differently and are very flavourfull.

C:SM is the army with the most viable options and also happens to be top tier. Stop complaining.

How AoS in 40k will work:

Armour save modifiers will go from Nothing to -2, with -3 being reserved to plot weapons, special characters, Titan weaponry, etc. Armor saves will be shuffled a bit, with 4+ being the new 3+ and units like Ork Boyz or Hormagants having no armor save at all while Marines are 4+. Rarely, things like Terminators or HQs will have a 3+, possibly a 3+ rerolling 1's.
>>
>>52327782
>tax for a monobuild formation

You mean the formation that's only major restriction is that you have to take 6 of the posterboy squads? To which you can add a dreadnought, assault marines, bikers, devastators, centurions, and take Rhinos, Drop pods, or Razorbacks as you please?

Wow, so monobuild

>>52327825

AoS doesn't have Invulnerable saves, per se. Some units or models have a special save against Mortal Wounds (attacks that autowound and ignore armor saves.) But I don't think they'll copy that into 40k.

We might see Feel No Pain go away though..

>>52327820
>To which you can add a dreadnought, assault marines, bikers, devastators, centurions, and take Rhinos, Drop pods, or Razorbacks as you please?
Which all either
a) suck
b) are razorbacks used for the 20 point obj sec lascannon which is unfluffy as hell
c) are one of the 4 power units in the codex, which then will actually be selected in any remotely competitive army

wow, so not monobuild.

Well, Luther is supposedly getting a model along with the Fallen. Book 3 has Girlyman refuse to look at the Sword that Cypher has, as he knows what it is and how relevant it is. The 'reveal' is that the Lion was thinking of turning to Chaos at one point. Luther was right in thinking the Lion had turned to Chaos and fired on him, but punching his friend brought him back.

do you?
>>
>>52327883
So, you're trying to say that if you decided to take Drop Pods, assault marines, and standard devastators instead of the typical WAAC stuff in a Gladius, you'd instantly lose the game? Somehow 300 points worth of free transports isn't going to accomplish anything at all?

I mean, I guess if you're playing at the absolute top tier tournament level, perhaps. But anything lower than that and such an army would be quite hard to deal with. You think most armies have the firepower to deal with 10 Obsec drop pods?
>>
>>52327868
Alpharius was based on a bit of fluff in the first Gathering Storm book which described a Space Marine with "Pre-Heresy Combat Techniques" fighting an entire army on his own and taking damage way beyond the limit of regular Space Marines.

It might have been Omegon though, who knows.

As for Angron, he's being talked about because he's the obvious Khorne choice. Fulgrim obvious due to Slaanesh.

>>52327883
Oh god please stop, if you are having that many problems with marines.

In Gathering Storm 2. They mention a blurb of a Serpentine Daemon Prince, which most took as being Fulgrim.

>>52327937
>So, you're trying to say that if you decided to take Drop Pods, assault marines, and standard devastators instead of the typical WAAC stuff in a Gladius, you'd instantly lose the game?

Do you just play against literal children running Tyranid lists? Assault Squads don't do shit and are literally wasted points in every capacity. Devastators or overcosted as fuck when you actually want them to do anything and die to a stiff breeze.

>Somehow 300 points worth of free transports isn't going to accomplish anything at all?
If you don't go for the best option which is useng them as cheap firepower-razorbacks, no they don't.

>You think most armies have the firepower to deal with 10 Obsec drop pods?
About half of them. Pretty much any army that isn't Ork, Nids or SoB.
Also, those Pods are carrying Tacticals, which get shot to death by fucking anything and don't have decent damage output, so they won't accomplish anything either.
>>
>>52328051

Too all those complaining about how aos battle shock ducks over horde armies and your guard, etc will never be able to fight again. Let me tell you.

I play Skaven, the hordiest horde army around. My rats have bravery 4, that means if I lose 1 rat another will flee on a 4+. So I'm fucked right?

There are enough ways to mitigate battle shock that I can muster shrug it off, I also receive +2 bravery for being in a large unit. It's actually beneficial to my rats because if I'm stuck in melee with a much stronger unit they can still tie him up for a few turns instead of instantly dying
>>
>>52328051

>he thinks SoB have trouble with vehicles
>SoB must be shit tier
>he thinks T4 3+ dies to a stiff breeze

Holy fuck. Listen, man. I've been playing SoB since the dawn of 4th edition, and even T3 3+ is more durable than most armies in the game. I don't know what armies you're playing against (implying you play at all kek), but the last game I played, my Sisters laid the smackdown on invisible Ravenwing plasma knights with minimal effort. The game before that, I melta'd a drop pod army into oblivion. Sisters are pushing the top of "Not WAAC turbo cheese" tier. The only problem with them is they're too expensive to play for most people.
>>
>>52328246
Which then means that they're not on the objective anymore. Do you even strategical placement of objectives?
>>
>mfw Russ has WS9
>mfw Sanguinius, one of the only people able to beat a Berserk Angron will probably have WS8

All the points will go into the fact he can fly like Corax. Russ is actually more expensive than Horus if you include his dogs. Sanguinius was always suppose to be Emperor-Lite, so second strongest (essentially the Loyalist Horus tier). But I doubt that'll be replicated in his stats.

The next HH book has Dark Angels and Blood Angels, Dark Mechanicum and Daemons. But that's pretty shit if Signus Prime was only a part of the book. I liked Burning of Prospero as it was just Burning of Prospero.
>>
>>52328177
Oh god how can you be this stupid. Drop pods have been landing safely since they where introduced in the game.

You have to end outside of table to even care about failing a landing.
>>
>>52328301
Blood of Sanguinius. The latest book. It's a good book. Gives us more detail of Mephiston. Makes him very tragic. Since the Captain is named differently, plus the way the book ends, I suspect there will be another book to carry on the story.

>>52328320
Unless every single objective is in a nice 3" circle of impassible terrain save for one narrow hallway for infantry to reach it, you'll probably be able to land a drop pod close enough.
>>
>>52328311
I know SoB are a good army, if cheese broken tier crap didn't exist. SoB would be winning all tournaments.

If I place my dudes spread out around an objective, it's physically impossible for a drop pod to legally land within 3" and claim it, especially if the objective is near impassible terrain. That means, I only have to clear off your objectives.

>When placed INSIDE the terrain, they do

No, they don't. You can choose to have a Drop pod land inside ruins if you want, as long as it isn't impassible terrain.

If it is impassible terrain or there are models around it like >>52328411 suggests, then the drop pod will mishap, but only if you intentionally placed it over such things. If it scatters onto something like that, then it reduces the scatter, because drop pods.

I'll believe it when GW shows us the new models, and even then I'll be skeptical until I'm holding the models in my hand. Anything less is asking to be burned. Hell, only a few months ago, sisters were "Definitely and totally confirmed for Q1 2017! It's totally happening!!" and look what we got: nothing.

GW recognizes the demand and still can't keep up. I've been trying to get 2 more Immolators since they were back in stock AND Veridyan, and I still have nothing to show.

Veridyan and celestine aren't nothing anon.

Have faith, they're on the way. Soon all your waiting will be worth it.
