I was just actually going to get a set of green transparent templates in sprues but now it doesn't seem to matter anymore.
Can't wait to see my baneblade doing 30D6 hits with it's main cannon though
>>
>>52945327
And killing one unit. Rip murdering several units.
>>
>>52945334
Yeah, that's actually a real problem with that system.
I wonder if they're going to address that with Blast weapons.
>>
>>52945341
If a unit is 2d6 inches in range of the unit you're attacking, wounds spill over.
I guess it could work like that, might need to crunch the numbers though.
>>
Needs more wendy marines
>>
>>52945353
>GW thinks this is easier than just scattering a template or measuring a circle with X" diameter
Seems about right
>>
>>52945341
As far as I know some spells in sigmar can hit all models within x distance but since they've removed templates such a situation will be rare at best. But without it I don't see the point in units like the deathstrike.

Blast weapons are probably just weapons that hit a single unit a lot, possibly with a higher chance to hit larger units. Faster than the current system but not quite as interesting imo.
>>
>>52945371
Although they say they've removed templates,they could just be talking about the flamer template, because that's the only one called a "template" in the rulebook right now. Blast templates are just called "blasts" or "blast markers" if I remember correctly.
I probably remember wrong.

i reckon we're going to get that for some stuff.

AoS does it to I think.
>>
>>52945386
they've also said the Scatter dice is gone though.

Do the Tau get access to the webway, then?

Oh well time to make a noose out of my red measuring sticks
>>
>>52945408
They could have possibly come up with another system but I doubt it. Though depending on the size of any pseudo-blasts having a template on hand might have it's uses.

GW directly said the updated army rules will be in 5 books.

Such is life for multiple army fags

can you imagine the shitstorm when it does come out and everyone will still be screaming baseless assumptions even though you can read the rules for free online?
>>52945473
I'm just gonna wait until I can download the pdfs desu
Unless the Imperium book is somehow actually awesome.
>>
>>52945473
Dude, it's just a compilation. You can just wait for the specific codexes to come out.
>>
>Psychic phase spoilers today
This will either be really great or complete dogshit. I'm leaning towards dogshit since even Sigmar has a really shitty track record with magic.
>>
>>52945492
I mean Psykers and Magic were always really different, so I don't know.

Hopefully deny the witch will be better than the shitshow it was in 7th ed.

Anything other than "there is no more psychic phase" is intothetrash.jpg

>>52945480
Well, i like the idea of an army codex, and they do look quite nice, but I prefer books over pdfs.
So if 8th hits and the books look nice, I'll buy them.
>inb4 using books vs using tablets skubbery happens
Skub is best
>>
>>52945505
As a Thousand Sons and Tzeentch Daemons player, I agree.
>>
>>52945513
I would prefer books too, but I don't want to pay like 80 bux for one if they're actually going to contain rules and fluff for 4 or 5 armies at once.
Especially since Codexes no longer have hobby sections, only rules and "gib us more monies"
>>
>>52945505
I wouldn't mind a AoS-esque hero phase though.
Just return 6th ed casting and buying powers for points and we'll be good.
>>

I'm worried I'm going to get my comeuppance this edition. At least against my regular opponents.

Also I suspect Belly Cawl is going to get nerfed, sorry buddy, you had a great 2-3 months

You should be happy that GW merged Skiitari and Admech together

Also RIP Scions and Khorne Daemonkin

I expect him to have more wounds honestly. But he might have to actually roll to see whether or not he regains wounds at all instead of auto-repairing.

>>52945588
Well we don't know that they've been merged. The should be, but then again they should have been in the first place.
>>
>>52945588
No one wanted Scions to have their own army though.
>>

Looking forward as well.

Inherent deny dice are mandatory, Adamantium Will as is is shit.
Denying on a 5/6 is great, but look he rolled a 1 so only one unit in your army gets to try to deny..

Also i'd love 1/1 peril, 6/6 irresistable force.

Kindly no 8th edition/Gathering Storm, especially if you're just here to troll or shill. For all intents and purposes it's Not The Same Universe.

>>52945610

It was the nastiest most money grabbing shit GW pulled in a long long time.

there was no fucking reason to split the codex, fluff or practical reasons except to sell x 2 codexes for a long awaited faction.

It's be literally no different to having x 2 space marine codexes - SPACE MARINE INFANTRY CODEX - SPACE MARINE VEHICLE CODEX

I still get mad if I dwell too hard on it. fuck it, am mad now.
>>
>>52945562
GW did mention them being cheap.

they sound like they're basically going to be the same as AoS grand alliance books. which are only $16-$35 depending depending on their size.

The hilarious thing is, just like those fucking retarded, autistic, mentally ill WHFB fags... there will be an equal amount of spastics doing the same thing for 40k

>>52945625
Make your own general then.
You can call it "Warhammer 40.000 7th ed general /40k7g/"

It'll help up divert the shitposter attention as they spot your low-hanging fruit from miles of.
>>
>>52945651
I mean raging about WHFB -> AoS is perfectly justified because AoS basically murdered WHFB and removed everything players liked about WHFB, while 40k is still 40k.

No, this should.be 40k general. 8th edition is not 40k, it is a different game, in a different universe.

And Gathering Storm is just the buildup to it. Nobody wanted it. It is barely 40k. Why don't you make an 8th edition general so you can discuss your functionally different game and universe rather than shilling it here?

Gorgutz massacred the Blood Ravens in Kuarava. The Blood Ravens owe him a debt of Blood.

I don't know why Relic choose to make the Orks the victors there. Usually it's the Imperials.

The problem with Orks winning these games is that it's such a boring end, they kill everyone, take all the shit and leave. Nothing is left in the area.

Not that anyone is giving much attention to DoW3, it's one thing for the initial review score to be slanted towards either the hypers or naysayers, but it seems to be stuck at 50~%

Tau - 1850pts.jpg
927KB, 1800x3151px
My local group is running a competitive ITC format tournament this weekend. I'm likely to come up against anything including warp spiders, a wraithknight, a corpse thief claw, a renegade knight, thousand sons shitting spells everywhere, and either Crons or Mechanicus fuckery from one particular guy. How do you lads think I'll do with this?
Piranha comes on from reserves, flat-outs then shoots with the Ambushes and Feints rule, the Stealth team deep-strikes and the two Crisis teams use its homing beacon to land without scatter. I've got a comms relay to re-roll reserves, cos I need that turn 2 retaliation strike. The fire warrior strike teams and breachers huddle behind the Aegis line, with Breachers ready to move out and intercept a charge. Hammerheads, Broadsides and Pathfinders shoot from the flanks and behind, while the Commander and his marker drones stay near the line to provide marker lights for Supporting Fire and to light up flyers.
>>
>>52946056
not him but they can just say : pick 6 enemy units within X"
>>
>>52946105
Chaos doesn't deserve it. By the way the 11th was one by Orks
>>
>>52946100
At least it leaves fucking survivors, and system that can still produce further stories.

After the Orks have had their way, you might as well forget the area ever existed.
>>
>>52946091
Reckton isn't even a fucking word, how can you fuck up that badly? And I know it's the same guy who posted it last time because you made exactly the same fucking mistake.
>>
>>52946137
It depends really. Ork empires do exist, so not all of them loot and then leave.
>>
>>52946178
Ork empires used to exist, anon.

Now they became the niggers of 40k.
>>
>>52946137
But thats wrong, anon. Orks need slaves to make ammunition, mine scrap and all the good stuff. Yes, industry and machinery will be fucked and everyone's lifes are going to be miserable. But at least it is way better compared getting devided by 0 when tyranids, necrons and sometimes chaos get involved.

It depends on who is in charge. Some bosses might be happy to settle on a conquered world and make an empire (to wage further WAAGHS using conquered planets as a base).

Ghazghkull said this for example:
>I woz one of da boyz till da godz smashed me in da ‘ead an’ I ‘membered dat Orks is meant to conquer and make slaves of everyfing they don’t kill.
Note that the main goal is to conquer and enslave and not to do the genocide for the sake of it.

Hell, some orks even work as mercinaries! If you think about it, orks are probably the least racist race in 40k (first place goes to Tau though who assimilate everyone).
>>
>>52946220
7th edition ork codex straight out mentions 2 vast ork empires duking it out against each other in Cadia's vicinity. And from what I remember galaxy map is covered in ork empires.

Also nothing can outnigger Eldar. They can't even colonize their own maiden worlds because they have to be constantly on the move.
>>
With what we know about templates in 8E (that there won't be them anymore, it'll be X or Random-X hits within Y inches, auto-hitting) am I correct in thinking that Heavy Flamers will be more useful for my MechVets (I use them mostly as a way of warding off assaults while the Plasma or Melta guys do their thing).

>>52945623
I honestly have no idea how to do a proper psychic phase but I'm not sure I like being able to cast just 1 spell per psyker per turn like how AoS does it as far as I know.

I want my TS to be fluffy/viable and I want casting shit to have weight. It's its own phase so it needs to be. I honestly think periling is far too easy, but I prefer the current system with one little change.

You don't decide how many dice you'll roll and once you roll them, that's it. You can roll as many dice as you like from your pool in an attempt to manifest enough charges. This is a gamble, as yes you may get off that one spell you REALLY want/need but you exponentially increase your chances to peril with each added dice you roll. You also drain your dicepool to nothing.

I love the idea of Scions, but I can't help but feel they were dead on arrival. Their codex was extremely limited, and really didn't provide anything the Astra Militarum codex couldn't. On top of this their stats and costs were unoptimal. After all of this, GW didn't do anything to support them until the Castellans detachment, which just took their gimmick and have it to the Imperium as a whole.

I would play them if GW actually supported them.

>>52946269
Not a phase is my suggestion.

Make Buffs/Debuffs a movement phase
Witchfires shooting phase
Force and Novas Close combat phase.

And bofore people say it Sucks to save dice, think of it cinematicly
telegraphed wide area buff/debuffs are easy to see coming
flashy witchfires are faster but more noticeable
Force/nova Melee being on the psykers edge of perception in the heat of melee.

It's just GW slowly undermining the other apocalyptic Xenos to make Chaos look like even more of an unstoppable threat. I don't mind Chaos being the big bad, it always was, but they've bent everyone else over a table to drive the point in recent years, and it's pretty shitty.

Them being a superior threat to most things in battle made perfect sense, the Tau were holding against the Imperium partly thanks to their technology, technologies that the Necrons would have considered incredibly primitive. They didn't have clever tactics, they didn't have plot armour or luck or named characters pulling off stupid things, they were just an unrelenting tide of pure, hyper-advanced sledgehammer.

Some of the initial books were far too memey, mind you, but from a narrative perspective Necrons being anything but top-tier alongside Daemons and Space Marines as forces makes them look like chumps.

The current psychic phase is shit. All psychic heavy armies are heavily reliant on bringing surplus psykers to act as batteries/increase odds of rolling one of the handful of good powers, and the Deny the Witch mechanic just means that psychic heavy armies can shut down armies that only bring one or two psykers.

The entire idea of a psychic phase is stupid when a large number of armies don't use psykers at all (SoB, BT, AdMech, Tau, Necrons, Dark Eldar) OR use psykers that operate significantly differently from other psykers (Daemons, Tyranids) OR don't really consider psykers to be a major part of their battle doctrine (everyone other than Daemons, Thousand Sons, GK, and CWE).

But that's how it generally works. Psykers do overpowers non-psykers because they have access to greater power. They're like superheroes vs normal villians, they bend reality.

Are you stupid? Are you really saying that Necrons and Tau and Sisters should all be weaker than psyker armies by design?

Even if you do bring your own psyker, he's liable to just get shut down by some daemon player with 20+ dice to deny with. It leads to shitty "all or nothing" psychic phases.

Psykers should be powerful, yes, but they should have a point cost that balances it.

>>52946650
You are not weaker by design, you have your own forces. Psykers have access to the offensive power that it brings but it still comes at a HEAVY cost (90% of perils cripples or outright murders the psyker). They are still as tough as any mortal though, so it balances out. Mind vs Brute Force, it's not my fault you didn't employ proper tactics against my psykers, my Sorcrerers are 2 wounds T4 with a basic marine save, yet for some reason he's considered overpowered if I field him against Tau or Necrons? The fuck are you smoking and can I have some?

Having a psyker-heavy army, even in the fluff, makes sense that they'd overpower and fry a single enemy psyker. It's like bringing a knife to a nuke fight. The more psykers you have, the more you dominate a phase in comparison to the enemy, just like how Tau can dominate and curbstomp in the shooting phase.

And most psykers already cost a fucking lot and we have to roll random powers and risk our shit being borderline useless unless we pay through the nose to make that random chance lean more in our favour, hence why Mastery levels are so expensive and efficient. We HAVE to do that to matter. They cost enough to the point that some armies forgo a LOT of shooting and CC potential just to get more psykers.

Tau don't stop you from shooting just by existing though.

Yes they can when their shooting phase is so strong they can delete 1/3 of your army if they so will it.
>>
>>52946738
You can still shoot back though.
>>
>>52946733
A melee army is more analogues here, as they will slaughter you in combat before you can even hit back.
>>
>>52946738
That's not the same and you know it.

If you want to bring 20 psykers and psychic my 1 psyker to death, then you should have to actually *psychic my psyker to death*. Not turn off his ability to do anything simply by existing.

Riptides don't have a rule that says "if the enemy has fewer riptides than you, they all lose the ability to shoot".
>>
>>52946726

>it's not my fault you didn't employ proper tactics against my psykers, my Sorcrerers are 2 wounds T4 with a basic marine save, yet for some reason he's considered overpowered if I field him against Tau or Necrons? The fuck are you smoking and can I have some?

The issue is that 'The main defence against psykers...is psykers'. Psychic Hoods and better Deny the Witch is contingent on bringing some of your own.

I'd really prefer the psychic phase to be folded into a general Command Phase. Have the Necrons pull out technobable that would make Janeway blush, Sisters pull out miracles and tau call down support fire in the same turn. Rather than having it be a turn that several armies can't actually interact with.
>>
>>52946733
I don't know two shooting phases in the same turn accomplish the same thing + removing your dudes from the table.

Psyker are problem because it's just that Psyker phase, if the thing was a special power phase so Guard could use their orders, tau their markers, SoB their faith, Necron their RP (similar to third) it would be more useful for everyone.

>>52946775

>>52946784

This is the best solution.

Have a command phase, give armies the option of doing all their weird shit that previously fell into "at the beginning of your turn/movement phase", and have psykers come with tokens to mark squads affected by various de/buffs.
>>

>>
>>52946827
It couldn't, they should've killed two and then died valiantly.
>>
>>52946779
but I DO psychic your psyker to death, with a doombolt right up his cornhole. Not my fault you picked a faction who has a different schtick than mine. My shooting and CC blow chunks, yet I'm not whining to my Black Templars or World Eaters friends that they overpower me in CC.
>>52946782
I don't mind it being rolled into a phase, like how running has been rolled into the movement phase, but I'm severly against balancing out the armies just because some can't handle my 20" psychic dingus.

The way you should handle an army of master-tier sorcerers is either by bringing enough psychic power yourself for a mindwrestling match or you use your other tricks. Like blowing his head off with a cannon shell or digging an axe into his face.
>>
>>52946849
The thing is that Black Templars will also most likely not overpower you in CC because by the time they get there, they'll most likely be at half their army strength.
>>
>>52946702

>but I'm severly against balancing out the armies just because some can't handle my 20" psychic dingus.
>The way you should handle an army of master-tier sorcerers is either by bringing enough psychic power yourself for a mindwrestling match

Then maybe GIVE each army psykers. As right now a lot of armies both 'Don't have psykers' and 'Can't interact with psykers' so they need to murder their way through every single model in the squad before they can stop it.
>>
>>52946809
I don't see how that's a problem. Instead, alter your tactics accordingly. If you know you're going up against a bear, what are you going to bring? Your teeth are not as sharp as his, so fighting them at their level will get you killed. Instead, use your strengths, like a big gun and staying away from the bear.

>>
>>52946864
Except I don't know if I'll be facing a psyker heavy army, so the solution is to never bring psykers unless my entire army is psykers.
>>
>>52946863
But this is a valid way to counter them! With each psyker you kill, your enemy lost an expensive and highly useful tool in their arsenal and you decreased their overall dicepool to boot!
>>
>>52946867
>says the faction which executions can be called because you winked at the comissar
>>
>>52946876
I still don't see the problem, honestly. Armies that have a lot of psyker potential will bring a lot of them. Armies that don't, usually won't at all.

You can still bring psykers, just focusfire theirs until you reach a point where yours can cast reliably. that's also an option.
>>52946860
Semantics and vagaries of list-building. I got my ass handed to me in CC with my Tau by Black Templars before. I still don't complain.
>>
>>52946885

Then why is it not valid for other armies to have ways to negate psykers other than being psykers?
>>
>>52946900
We all know incompetent Comissars die with a Las bolt to the back. Totally shot by the enemy and not loyal Guardsmen.
>>
>>52946901
Because it'd be nice to bring a psyker on occasion, but it'd just be dead points as you can shut them down with no effort.
>>
>>52946827
especially given the lack of ammunition
>>
>>52946902
I never said that though, I actually like having each army have a thing. I can't reliably defend against the psychic phase with my Tau, but I can kick my own TS force's ass with them in the shooting phase.

I'm simply disagreeing that the psychic phase is somehow OP because not everyone is allowed to play in the sandbox. We don't have your toys, you have your own, let us enjoy ours.
>>
>>52946927

>I'm simply disagreeing that the psychic phase is somehow OP because not everyone is allowed to play in the sandbox.

It's pretty bad design though. I mean, this is why Blue gets so much shit in MTG. Because other people don't get to play with stack manipulation and countering even when said counters are well priced.

The Psychic Phase should become a phase everyone can use (If that means making is psychic AND other stuff, that's fine). Much like how every army has guns and every army has melee weapons.
>>
>>52946918
Then do so. you're not guaranteed to have them denied. There's plenty of factors like list, distance, how aggressive or defensive the enemy is with his dicepool and allsorts. What if their army is made of like 15 ML1 chaos sorcs and you bring two ML3 librarians? you can deny on like 3s and shut down all his shit.
>>
>>52946900
Lives are the Emp's currency. Wasting the Big E's cash on petty retribution is heresy. A commissar who acted like this would find enemies in both the guard and the commissariat.
>>
>>52946901
We were talking about Psyker armies not Tau. Almost every Psyker-less CC army gets shit on by them without issue because not only can they usually kill your shit just as good as shooting armies but also have the ability to piss all over your parade in CC because of force weapons and all the shit they can buff units with.

There are not nearly enough ways to counter Psykerd outside of using your own Psykers. Templars have Deny the Witch on every single unit they have and still can't contest their powers or reliably take them on in CC.
>>
>>52946927
Except other armies can't defend against the psychic phase at all, you can at least take measures to mitigate damage from shooting beyond killing the shooting unit.
>>
>>52946950
I wouldn't mind that, as it keeps everyone happy and functionally it doesn't harm psykers but makes everyone else do other non-psyker shit. I'll still kick your ass with spells and you can still wreck me with sword and bolt.

You can deny on a 3+ IF they are specifically targeting the psyker or the unit the psyker is in.

It should be like Fantasy where you can use any psyker you have to deny any spell that is cast (With failed denials meaning you can't deny with that psyker again)

It's that stupid way of denying that means that nobody ever uses witchfires, because buffs are so much easier to pull off.

You're seriously telling me you can't kill a 2 wound marine? Or if it's a "can't defend against the psychic phase" like >>52946961 is also saying, I still can't fundamentally agree. I see absolutely nothing wrong with a non-psyker being unable to withstand a barrage of magic. It happens in the fluff, it happens in game, hell it happens in many other settings. You cannot fight me on my home turf, you'll have to use your own tricks to counter mine. We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

HOWEVER I fully support rolling the phase in a general "command" phase as other anons suggested. That does not infringe on my abilities but it adds more interactivity for you.
>>52946977

>I'll still kick your ass with spells and you can still wreck me with sword and bolt.

Well, the SOB could likely throw a soulstorm at you in the same phase and nuke you with divine fire if everyone gets a 'Do fancy things' phase.

I do find it hilarious that 'Divine Buster' is a canon thing the SOB can do at this point. Apparently they rediscovered anime and thought Nanoha was a documentary.

Oddly enough, that's an actual SOB thing now. It's the fluff being St Celestine's 1/game orbital bombardment attack. Unlike a marine, she doesn't have a space ship in orbit.

So she calls down an apocalypse of holy power.

It originally turned up in the FFG RPGs and people mocked them a lot about the idea that SOB could learn the Soulstorm faith power that let them shoot a beam of holy power like a magical girl. Then it turned up in the actual TT.

I am completely ok with this and would honestly find them continuing to turn the SOB into full on D&D clerics (Healing the injured with a touch, calling down blessed fire) a nice way to finally give them that separation from Marines they've always struggled with.

>>52947083
I'm saying yes, it is generally that easy. What's the statline on an astropath? 1 wound T3 with a t-shirt save? It's not hard to flatten with a stray shot, just aim for them or their squad above others. Target priority tactics are common.
>>
>>52947130
thanks
>>
>>52947140
In the sense that they are made for war and to die in battle. Marines don't die of old age. Like pure and glorious human do
>>
>>52947109
They can have it work like Cyberthurgy in 30k. You take a leadership test and subtract an amount specified by how "Good" the spell is.

So a rinkydink magic missile would have no modifier but Invisibility (As it is now) would be at -3.

Have natural double 1s be a fail+Perils and double 6s be a success+Perils.
>>
>>52947118
I fully support that and any other army having fluffy as fuck rules. I hope they bring sisters back in force and do that for them.
>>
>>52946404
That's also a reason I want it to be in the shooting phase.
>>
>>52947154
I meant subtract the number from your leadership, not the dice roll, so invisibility would make L9 into L6.
>>
>>52947154
>>52947173
And I also got the fucking perils results the wrong way round, too fucking tired to be making up shitty rules.
>>
>>52946702
Started a DG army January, I'll get in 2 games tops before the change, suits me fine since Ill be getting loadsa new models.
>>
>>52947154

My concern with it being leadership is it's sorta narrow (Oddly enough because leadership is very broad).

It doesn't really allow marines to have a mediocre psyker as they are all super brave by default and also means that any psyker of note is automatically a great leader of squads.
>>
>>52947152
>and to die in battle
And as I said, the intent behind their design is to not die in battle. That's why they lead such long lives despite the constant fighting.
>>
>>52947145
I just want power's to be based on the individual psyker rather than an aggregate, so you don't have psyker batteries and mass deny dice.
>>
Im a big nids fan, have been for years, also just started eldar, why all the hate for nids? New rules are looking fucking sweet for em in terms of close combat and movement

>>
>>52947222

Yeah but leadership is also on 1d6 now.
>>
>>52947206
Please don't let /tg/ actually determine what you think of a faction in 40k. Otherwise all factions would just be endlessly differing levels of marines for people to argue about with a tiny group of non-marine factions squashed away somewhere in a corner and constantly being trashed.
>>
>>52947227
Ummm....
>>
>>52947203
that sounds realistic and I'm allfor it, despite my own overall power being lessened. I'd be up for that. Casting spells, barring any special rules that allow any different, should be based on the individual. Denying would be psyker vs psyker, not psyker vs army.
>>
>>52947191
I had originally thought leadership would be even more dynamic with the introduction of battleshock but they seem to be pretty much fixed at the old levels.

But yeah, doing it off leadership isn't an ideal way, but it's the only thing I could think of.

>>
>>52947252
Custodes have the lowest model count in the entire game.

230+ points per unit.
>>
>>52947247
It wouldn't even have to a be a lowering of power, as all of your psykers would be casting powers instead of funneling them into a few dudes.
>>
>>52946827
No. Sicarius is always protrayed as a complete twat.
>>
>>52947254
I think he's the guy who grows up to be the Master Executioner of the Ultras, 8th Company Captain.
>>
>>52947271
>It is noted that Numetor was chosen over by then-Sergeant Cato Sicarius for this position due to the latter's tendency to use his battle-brothers as distractions instead of a unit.

The ancients "among you"/space zombies.

Agri worlds settled since before the crusades have mountains split open and thousand or robo skeletons march out impervious to fire and the few that fall either stand back up or march out of monilits restored.
>>
>>52947263
So each Psyker gets to cast a power based on their level of psykeriness? That works. You would have to increase the cost of most battery psykers as they can actually do stuff now and also change how powers are selected, because low level guys should only be able to cast the scrub powers.
>>
>>52947263
It would technically be a lessening of power because right now f.ex I field 5 ML3 psykers with my Thousand Sons on top of the Rubric/SO ones I generally don't cast with. I get 19 WC to play with and I can blow all of them on one sorc if I please, especially if he rolled some choice powers. Being based on the individual, each would only generate 3 points and that's what they have to work with. It's quite restrictive but perhaps that could be used to add more flavour to psyker-heavy armies.

TS, GK and other such armies could have exclusive rules that allow more of their psykers to assist each other. It would make them more powerful at casting and make them stand out.
>>
>>52947250
Blood Ravens are a mixed bag

wonder what their primarch was
>>
>>52947285
Cause he's apparently the best. Knight-Captain of Macragge and all that.
>>
>>52947285
Agemann got sent to first company after it was mostly killed off during the battle for Macragge, Sicarius was at that stage I think Chapter Champion and somehow got the vacant second. He then apparently had the seconds trim colour changed from yellow to white.

>>
>>52947285
Tyranids decimated ultrasmurfs hard on the battle of Macragge and you can't fill those high-up positions with literal rookies.
>>
>>52947295
I mean you could change how the system works to compensate, like you can just spend warp charges to cast an appropriate level power and then take a ld test to see if it works. So lvl 1 psykers would be stuck casting low level powers and lvl 3's would be throwing around the big stuff.

Incompetent Primarch for an incompetent Chapter.
They might as well have Horus as their Primarch.
>>
>>52947324
I don't think there was really a lack of recruits. I mean even after Macragge Ultramarines went on to win virtually every battle they ever fought so its not like the loss of men at Macragge seemed to have much of an adverse effect whatsoever.

Wasn't that how it worked in 6th? You can only cast powers whose charge is equal to or lower than your master level? I distinctly remember being annoyed cause Aspiring Sorcerers couldn't cast breath of Chaos even if they rolled it cause it cost 2 charges.

Too true, just wanted a reason as to why people think they're shitty in battle, i dont think they're the worst, like hear this out, 30 termagents max for one group, equip devourers' thats bloody 90 dice for a single unit costing 240 points, strength 6. Like, wack yourself with three lots of those bad boys, thats standard infantry. Idk why all the hate for nids, ive never encountered anyone else even playing them besides me, just kinda baffles me
>>
>>52947351
That's actually not that bad. harder for ML1 dudes to cast big shit, and even ML3 dudes cast WC3 powers 50% of the time.

It does mean outliers like Magnus being able to cast his own gaze 50% of the time but then you can have special rules to account for that depending on the model.

Me too. The biggest qualm against this would be "everybody takes invisibility" but since they're reworking all disciplines by virtue of a new ruleset, that could be avoided.

So if the rumor of Ultramarines vs Death Guard as the new starter set are true, who's buying it?

I read a really good suggestionsfor the Psychic Phase I liked awhile ago, however I forgot most of it.

One part was:

After rolling to Deny you could:
- Use 1s to try to cancel the power (same as current, except 1s instead of 6s)
- Use 6s to HELP them, but increase their Perils chance.
