I'm old enough to know hype is stupid, specially regarding corporation products.

That does not mean I can't enjoy said product once it is release.

>>53063782
Depends on how you build, but if you go all one chapter is say somewhere around 1kish
There's literally 61 marines in the box, that shit adds up

>>53063773
That's because 7th was the end result of 4 editions of nothing but patching. We've needed this rewrite for a long time.

>>53063745
Dude looks like he's taking a selfie with the timberwolf.
>>53063773
Srsly me too. Although all this desperate hope is usually a bad sign.

>>53063773
Well put on your big boy pants and make the next general then, won't you?

The big problem Games Workshop has is that it's terrified of lasting victories for the villains that run the risk of showing up the Space Marines. At best, Xenos/Chaos receive Pyrrhic victories after smashing through a bunch of Imperial Guard/PDF/Sisters of Battle. At worst, they're set up so they can smash through a bunch of Imperial Guard/PDF/Sisters of Battle so they can get their arses handed to them by Space Marines.

Neither Chaos nor Xenos feel like credible threats because there's just so much damn Bolter porn. The rule of the setting has largely been that there is very little that cannot be beaten by the application of men in power armour (so long as they have Aquilias). In universe, this 'could' be balanced around the idea that whilst the Space Marines are brilliant at saving the day, there's just too damn few of them to act as the cavalry EVERYWHERE that needs it... however, it feels like the only worlds of any importance within the Imperium are Terra, Cadia (rip) and founding chapter homeworlds. So whenever we're told "oh no Nurgle's Rot/cultists/Tyranids/Orks destroyed [planet]!" it means nothing, because they're not Terra/Cadia/Macragge/Baal, etc. Hell, even with Fenris they couldn't give Magnus a complete victory, they had to wuss out with "y-yeah, it's corrupted real bad... b-but it's still there! They could probably recover!" just because GW were too spineless to take out a first founding Space Marine homeworld.

Meanwhile, Cadia gets blown up/sucked into the Warp/whatever finally but the actual way it's achieved only serves to make Abbadon look like a total moron. It's only two books later before the Imperium's trump card shows up and that's in the PROLOGUE.

It's hilarious how butthurt the majority of Nid players are over GW not giving them decent rules for the last few editions. If you'd believe all their crying then it would appear that GW has made it it's business goal to make tyranids players' lives as miserable as they can.

Top kek.

>>53063844
>Are you hyped about 8e?
Very
>Do you already know what army will you run when 8e hits the stage?
Building a new tyranid army for 8th. Also, if they do do plastic sisters I will drop everything and go to that.
>Will it be your current army or you will build up the new one?
Bit of both. I don't intend on abandoning my skitarii or custodes entirely.

>>53063844
>Are you hyped about 8e?
Nope, but I am looking forward to it.

>Do you already know what army will you run when 8e hits the stage?
My Orks for sure and probably expand my Deathguard if the full release looks good

>Will it be your current army or you will build up the new one?
See above.

I still don't know enough about it to tell if I like it. I don't like the buffs to shooting and armor, but the new cover system makes more sense than the previous one. If Berzerkers are still Fearless and sanic fast I'll stick to my World Eaters. Otherwise if they fuck assault up too much I'll stay in 7th.

>>53063844
Never played 40k before but I've been growing more interested in the setting since my old favorite was unceremoniously killed off. I'm curious to see if 8th makes the game more approachable for someone who's never really done tabletop before. If so I'll pick up some crons. I've already started fluffing up some history for my army if I decide to get into it.

>>53063844
Building my tank guard and cautiously optimistic about the rules and what lies in my new codex. It will be nice knowing the usefulness of the Eradicator is increased, hopefully it will continue to be a budget tank. Also looking forward to the high volume of fire my Manticore, Wyverns and Executioners turn into.

Remember the wailing and gnashing of teeth from Imperial players after the Eye of Terror worldwide campaign over a decade ago when the Forces of Disorder actually won? Conspiracy theories sprouted about how the non-Imperials "cheated" or were helped by GW, and then there were some players that simply outright refused to accept the results or tried to argue how the loss was really a win, or at worst a stalemate (despite the black and white in print results in WD by GW declaring the victory for Disorder). And yet there was none of this protesting over every single other worldwide campaign where the Imperium was the declared winner.

The problem right now is all the background fluff and novels have followed the template of initial Chaos/Xenos victories followed by the heroic Space Marines saving the day in the end. Do the opposite, and you will have accusations of the Imperium being the designated punching bag. Follow the template, and we have the issue of the non-Imperial factions being not seen as a real threat, and the expectation that the Imperium is always supposed to win. All the wailing over the Eye of Terror campaign I think stemmed from this inbuilt expectation of inevitable Imperial victory, and then getting a rude awakening.

The solution? I think GW needs to be more even handed in its focus on all the factions so that all factions can have significant victories, not just a one line mention of newly invented random planet being taken. The problem is increasingly GW seems to be vague and impressionistic in their descriptions of battles or even entire campaigns. GW now avoids giving numbers, dates, or other hard data. More and more now it just seems their battles devolve into skirmishes describing unit type A taking out enemy unit B and then enemy unit C taking out unit A, until the special characters move along the plot. The universe as a whole just feels smaller as now it seems only the big special characters matter at all.

>>53063995
I think GW should take a bit of the focus off the Imperium and marines vs Chaos for once. How cool would it be if the starter box for this edition was like, Nids vs Tau, or DEldar vs Necrons or something? It'd give them a chance to make some more cool scenario ideas and characters for the other races and flesh them out a bit more. Do a campaign of the Tau having to fight off a daemonic incursion into their empire now that it's surrounded by a massive warp storm or something, or a Tyranid campaign on that planet Gahzkull's on his way to that's locked in eternal war between Nids and Orks. Just let the Imperium and CSM take a back seat for just a little while to let the other factions' stories catch up a bit.

>>53063941
Pro tip: nids as such are going to be squatted, they will be to GSC as what stormtroopers are to IG.

I shall repeat my response from last thread.

I agree with almost everything you say, especially the last paragraph. It feels more like a wrestling league than a WARhammer game, everything is described like a skirmish no matter the size. I could fairly easily make a "fight template" that would work for every action in a recent campaign from a squad skirmish to a planetary campaign.

I will remark that not every Imperial player plays Marines and supports all the wank, though. I play Admech, and although they're technically a seperate nation we get rolled into Imperium. I would personally have us lose battles outright and win battles outright to winning an endless string of bland victories as the Marine's bitchboys #23423. Let the brave Skitarii march singing into the jaws of a Warp Rift, let them get ground down and the Forge World fall to Chaos or Orks or Deldar and have them spit oil in Death's eye. Then have them assault a Tau Sept or Craftworld and burn through the defenders the same way, not just "A fragment of Space Marine Chapter irrelevant saved the entire Forge World of X/Won this war against the Eldar with the slight assistance from an ENTIRE ADMECH FLEET OF MILLIONS. Space Marines being present in any way locks the battle into one predictable path, and not only destroys the enemies credibility but also that of the Marine's allies, since we just look incompetent at all times and are barely mentioned. I suspect a lot of Knight, Inquisition and Guard players feel the same way, and others.

The former hasn't been confirmed, it was just speculation as a "counterpart" to be able to shoot it in melee
For the latter it seems to be implied that there is some "price" to pay for it, speculated to be being shot at by the unit they are disengaging

>>53064237
doesn't need it when he can make most of the opponents terrain dangerous. Plus he can jump back into reserve now. He's based more around what he was supposed to be, sneaking in and slitting throats, whereas before he was a 65pt demo charge. I'd argue he's more useful now, at least if you play him smart. He'll be very handy at disrupting the back line and picking off support units.

Woah. They gave Genestealer Cults their own codex!? Cool!

>>53064243
You can tarpit, it's good for fending off melee units and if they keep sacrificing turns to retreat you've done the same job anyway, you can just get shot while you tarpit. It's a significant nerf, but it also means you can physically push units back and change tarpit targets/retreat to an objective when you want to deal with the enemy you've locked up. Personally I disagree with the Vehicle thing, the Template thing and the loss of Initiative, and I'm ambivalent about psychic powers, but this seems to make sense to me. At worst, it'll make things more mobile and interesting.

>>53064287

>>53064152
Oh shit I didn't see your answer in the last thread.

Yeah I completely agree with you that GW's shit writing is also ironically making most Imperial factions look incompetent too, Imperial Guard most notably. I think now that GW is pretending to care about what the fans say we should all be vocal about this and demand their fluff to be held to much better standards. It's not just that Marines are invincible mary sues, but the writing in general has been greatly dumbed down in the military sense. We went from semi-realistic strategic showdowns with the occassional hero duel, to Herowood 40k where Guilliman, Yvraine and the rest of the superfriends team up against the evil Abbadon and his minions.

I want the broad, multi-lateral campaigns where each military force (not just each character) had it's own story to tell from 4th and backwards. I do NOT want some B-movie or cartoon where a few characters have personal duels in which none of them ever really dies and the outcomes are as predictable as the rest of the story.

>>53064400
Yeah, it's why I primarily prefer 30k and Forge World fluff books (Not BL, they have the same problem). They actually portray a war, rather than the current superhero comic, except with worse characters. It's why I can't wait for Fires of Cyraxis to give the Admech a proper outing, since they were born into this clusterfuck and didn't have any characters to compete until Cawl.

>>53064312
>>53064329
>>53064344
for ancient shit they never update but has new rules, they will probably just port it over.

it would be even better if they pulled their heads out of their asses and put old characters like Vect back in the game since every fucking DE player has a converted Vect they used until he got squatted in the new-ish DE codex. instead of being retarded and squatting everything without a model for whatever stupid/jewish reason their corporate pukestains came up with

>>53064406
That's a lotta fluff already. Sounds cool after skimming over it, I like it.

Not entirely convinced on the drawing, the face looks a bit too derpy.

>>53063844
I'm excited, but no one will play me now so I doubt 8th will fix that. I'm going to finish up my current army. If I can't find regular opponents in 8th I'll probably quit again.

>>53064328
>I disagree with the Vehicle thing, the Template thing and the loss of Initiative
I don't, if only because vehicles have NEVER been done well in 40k.
They were either useless (RT/2e), death traps for the units inside (3/4e), force multipliers that invalidated infantry (late 4e/5e), or obsolete/useless if they didn't have at least AV13 front (6/7e). If has never worked, so mix it up.
Templats is hit or miss. Gained a little, lost a little, but goddamn will flamers and blast weapons be fearsome in ZM games.
The initiative thing, I'm ok with, because all it really did was punish units that should have been good in assault, but weren't due to PF alikes. It was like how useless they were when power weapons ignored all armor saves. You get the charge, you get the benefits.

>>53064449
>Was just wondering if she's anyone noteworthy or just a busty girl doing a funny gesture

>>53064481

>>53064475
> no one will play me now

>>53064408
Just because there's not a model for sale doesn't mean people don't love the character, and more importantly, have a model representing him in their army. And if that's the case it's a stupid move to remove the rules for him. Seeing rules for Marbo come back gives hope that other armies may get back beloved characters like doomrider, Chenkov, Al'Raheem, etc. I'm sure other armies have characters they'd like back but I play guard and don't really know what got removed from other codexes

Depression is a bitch, guys. I'm trying to motivate myself with my friend's excitement, set small goals and shit, but the passion just isn't there. It's not a matter of disliking 40k or modeling/painting because when I do manage to get something done, I do enjoy it. However, I can't find the energy to actually do it.

Is there anywhere I can read about Robert Gillermen waking up? I want to see him flipping his shit.

>>53064476
Yeah, I'm mostly miffed about the lack of facings, changing a couple words about vehicle health really doesn't matter much.

Templates is not really about power but more that I preferred the feel of a template slamming down onto some poor squad. Compared to Nova psyk powers and Coteaz' psyber eagle, it's just way less satisfying and unique, and removes the neatly scaling effectiveness against units with more or larger models.

Initiative is just mostly because Sicarians and Dragoons relied on high I to not be splattered instantly, so I'll have to see how easy it is to get the charge with them now, and the enemy can now just spend a single command point to invalidate that advantage and smash them instantly.

Book Six in the HH black book series was great, almost no character involvement other than a couple names of commanders, big scenic battles and lots of background info. Book 2, the Drop Site Massacre, was also really good, IMO, and it's one of the most epic battles so far. I really enjoyed both, and the Siege of Vraks books in the IA series. They're all in the MEGA last I checked.

One is battling health and finical problems.
One simply dropped off the face of the earth one day.

That democharge was the boobytrap. After throwing the demo, he would be a fire magnet and 4+ cover, stealth and go-to-ground make him resilient. If charged, he'd usually hit first with I5, 4 attacks and 2+ poisoned knife.

Back in the day he was just a sniper that would vanish if enemy got close so your idea of "what he should be" should go back to 1d4memeddit..

>>53064722
We'll have to wait and see the details of command points but as far as making the charge goes, Dragoons will probably be at least M 9 and if they preserve their +3" to charge separately then depending on how that works (if it extends their declarable charge range pat 12" or not) then their average melee threat range will be 19"+

Which army rules should they follow? I was thinking SM for simplicity and flexibility. Although I had thought about using the Skitarii or even IG since they love mechanical and vehicle stuff.

>Will it be your current army or you will build up the new one?

Still need to finish my DE then I can focus on Fexes and shit.

>>53063844
I'm pretty hyped

I'm not expecting it to be perfect, that would be unreasonable, but this sort of overhaul is what we needed and it's sounding pretty great

I do think it's a shame that random charges weren't a little more controlled (move + D6" or something) but that's really a very minor complaint compared to the greatness of other changes.

I'm hype for 'standard' vehicles being good, I'm hype for psykers reverting to working on their own power instead of needing a small army of batteries to do their job, and I'm especially hype for all of the armies being re-released at once AoS-style under the same design umbrella.


Some are complaining that being able to retreat will still make shooting too powerful. I understand the wariness, but to this I say these things:

1) Assault units seem to be getting greater flexibility and damage output.

2) Good planning and using the right units at the right time will prevent the enemy from retreating from a single fight and blasting you down with the rest of their army. Tie up other units, make good use of your fire support. 40k should prioritise guns before melee, even assault-focused armies need good fire support to get them there and take out certain targets.

3) Command points could make a big difference

4) I've been really into AoS lately. In AoS shooting units are strong for obvious reasons, but that's why they cost so many more points than assault units. Expect similar in 40k.


Overall, I'm very excited. I'm looking forward to dusting off my beloved Tyranids especially.

>>53065076
Or if the base coat is thin enough you could just spray on a second layer of red.

Or if you're feeling really artsy keep the blue but start painting layers of red on top of it and leaving the blue visible only in the recesses for a really cool shading effect.

>>53065076

Looks good, though I have some resevations about models moving out of combat and then my squishy Slaaneshi daemons getting blown to bits but we'll see. And I'm meh about the new flamers as my other army was SoB/witchhunters and while the new flamer is godtier against smaller units it seems very underwhelming against the hordes they were normally meant to deal with.

>Do you already know what army will you run when 8e hits the stage?

Concidering that I just finished painting said armies, I'm sticking with them for sure, don't really care about power levels and 8th seems to be, if anything, reining in the absurd imbalance.. Would love a jumppack back on my Cannoness though.

>Will it be your current army or you will build up the new one?

I have a Harliquin/wraith army that I've been wanting to get back in action. asuming eldar isn't broken anymore they MIGHT see some action if the Wraithseer gets rules quick.

I hope they wont return shooting in one visible model that kills whole unit.

relevant to both posts:

I'm kinda surprised DA are focused on as a main marine faction considering how edgy they are. A dark shadowy cabal of torturers who keep people in dungeons and have interrogators mindrape the repent out of people. Brainwash, false flags, and murderous coverups are classic Dark Angels.

Meanwhile GW seems to be trying to kiddiefy the lore in some ways, like downplaying Slaanesh and even semi-squatting Slaanesh in AoS, not to mention shitting on Dark Eldar. It just seems like in some ways they want to move 40k away from its gritty-hair-metal-game for-grownup-nerds past, and make it the wholesome-WoW-parents-love.

This makes me cautious about 8th edition. The single biggest worry I have is they are going to file off the edges of some of the darker factions, it just reeks of corporate disrespect for the IP. The reason people tend to dislike Dark Eldar is because they are actually viscerally evil. Dark Eldar aren't mustache twirling cartoon villains like CSM where the evil is just glossed over as bad guys of war stuff, Dark Eldar are metaphorically the child molestation, racism, slavery type of evil that makes people uncomfortable. I don't think that is compatible with New Games Workshop™, but we shall see. So I am cautiously hyped about 8th as well and I hope it will give breathing room to some underpowered factions/units, but god please don't make this game family friendly.

>>53065676

I will also add Inquisition units. I just got done building and creating an Inquisitor warband death star unit that I probably won't be able to ever use in 7th, so I'm crossing my fingers that they will still have a warband like unit in 8th.

What worked for me was empathising with people who are positive and sociable. I really began to see how narcissistic and complacent my attitude was. Constantly down playing others achievements, reassuring myself that its good to have little ambition.

It sounds cliche but it's empowering putting yourself in the shoes of people who are proactive. It feels alien at first but slowly you see the effects of not feeling inhabited sitting at your desk or on the internet 'waiting' to do things.

Its a good decision. The points increase is equal to a meltabomb that you would have to take against all heavy vehicles.

I agree on DA being a slightly odd choice as poster boys but I think it was more that case that it was their "turn" rather than for Lore reasons. Before Dark Vengeance they hadn't had any love for a loooong ass time.

As for Kiddification, I dunno. I started playing when I was 11/12ish same with most of the people I play with. If anything I think the players are probably getting older as the computer games reach out to people who wouldn't have considered playing the games in their teenage years.

I started before Dark Eldar were a thing and remember the eye rolling when they were released, a nu-model-army for the nu-metal age. Can't say I know anything about their contemporary lore though. I guess we just wait and see

Discussions are not about winning or losing, but about exchanging facts and opinions, Anon.

>>53066089
Do you ever find your restricted with what you can build and bring due to the limited models and bits for vostroyans?

>>53063844

I don't know.

I don't think I like the fact that you can't insta kill things with double strength and the fact they removed AV.

I would have rather just had them remove the vehicle damage table if they were going to derp around like that.

Feels like lost flavor to me.

But, no use in complaining about it. Can always wait till next 9th edition.

>>53066061

not him but cheap and cheerful is the way to go with these things.

Unless the Prime is cheaper or better armoured this coming edition then it wont be worth the points.

The regular Taurox is good for just bringing a twin-linked autocannon to the fight as well as obviously the transport capacity.


>>53066089

They look great all together. I've always liked Vostroyans since they were released with Cities of Death all that time ago.

Hopefully I can produce the same effect with my legion. Im planning on converting them all heavily so they all have unique poses. (I have about 50 of them) It may take me a while but I think itll be worth it.

>>53066195
9th will never happen. Age of Emperor is the last edition.

>>53066235

Use a previous edition then?

>>53066061
I love the Taurox, cheap as hell, never gets immobilized, and twin linked auto canons are better then multilaser.

>>53066195
>I don't think I like the fact that you can't insta kill things with double strength
It constantly amazes me that people actually like any of the insta-death rules. To me, they're the opposite of fun - just remove your big, expensive centrepiece model, because this gun deletes it. It's so far removed from what I want to happen in games (expensive models are durable, character/large vehicles get to exist for multiple turns) that I struggle to understand the view of wanting these rules around at all.

>>53066189
Yeah for sure, but I'm a big fluff player and they do come with all the urban fighting weapons they are know for grenade launchers, flamers, and heavy bolters. So I don't mine to much. And the flamers are supers easy to convert into meltas.

>Unless you have done that already but then, why would you still be depressed?

Because depression is more than a case of the feel bads? Kids today feel sad and then go on about how depressed they are for Facebook likes. I was diagnossed when I was 6 and was in and out of doctor offices for 10 years before we couldn't afford it anymore. Now at 28, I just deal with it as best as I can, even if it's just staring at a bunch of plastic.

Beautiful anon, love those chimeras. And you are right about the hidden gems, /tg/ truly is a guard board.

>>53066412
Actually I put GGA in green because he wasn't here, but I wanted to acknowledge his contribution to the thread.

Yea, the chem masks only come in 5s but I needed the extra meltas anyways and I figured "Well, as shotgun assault-flamer vets they're probably charging into the ruins they just set ablaze. Best give them chem-masks so they don't worry too much about smoke."

It was also my first foray into the realm of resin. I was so pleased with the results I went and bought some more upgrade packs for the next platoon.

>>53066506
Oh okay, that makes sense.

The mask idea for Flamers sounds cool too. I might have to look into that.

If you play at a Games Workshop store, no, they only allow GW miniatures. They allow conversions, but it has to be about 80% GW figure. You might get away with a couple of non-GW figures, but not too many.

If you're playing with your own group of friends, then it's up to everyone else if they are okay with it. If you are playing at a gaming store that isn't a GW store, then it's up to the players and the store manager.

I kinda just wait for "The Mood" to hit. It generally doesn't take long because my actual job is confined to it's 7-5, workday-only time (and that includes transit). That leaves me with plenty of energy to work on models, even after taking another hour each day to exercise.

Just gotta wait until I hit that critical mass of inspiration while browsing 40k material -generally a miniwargaming campaign or Corvus Cluster or something similarly full of pretty-well-painted models to make me jealous.

Also, I never-ever-ever-ever-EVER think of it as "Having" to paint. If you "Have" to do it, it's a chore. If you "Want" to do it, its a hobby. Once you make that distinction and choose NOT to paint, it becomes a lot easier to decide you WANT to paint, and subsequently follow through on that impulse. I also don't buy more than 200-500 points ahead of my painted army. That way I'm never intimidate by my to-do list.

Finally, I don't hesitate to buy new bits or experiment for that 500 point queue. The more different each squad's loadout or pose or theme* is, the more exciting it is to paint.

*theme being "Charging", "Shooting", "Getting Bandaged", "Planning ahead", or "Running Away" as examples.

The problem with that argument is that you are willing to cede all but the basics of a game, for the sake of broadening it's player base. You could break down 40k to checkers and people would still defend it as a 'complex and thought provoking tabletop wargame'.

I've discovered batch painting. It's the joy I haven't discovered. I enjoy assembling my models but because I have shaky hands and perfectionist tendencies painting tends to piss me off.

>>53067332
40k was never a complex game. I played 2nd edition when I was about 10 years old. Which is arguable the most complicated edition. Calling it a wargame is also a bit of a stretch. It's a fun game to play with friends with cool looking models.

>>53067332
>>53067343
Checkers can be complex and thought provoking if you play against a genius. Have you noticed that nothing done at a pro level is even remotely complex? Not just sports but any competition.

I see lots of complaints about this but no logical reasoning behind them. Why are wounds and toughness bad for vehicles? They will degrade in capability as they take damage, so what's wrong with that system? Aside from I don't like it because reasons

pls help me decide what to buy next guys

I play DA and i have a demicompany with 3 droppods, 1 vindicator, dread and command squad.
I want to buy 2 rhinos and put elites and dread in drops, but ive found a secondhand IK paladin for 65€.
Shouldd i focus on completing the demi or get the knight and rape my tau friends stormsurge?

>>53067509

theres no critical hits depend on armour facing which is relevant for a lot of vehicles.

If the toughness value changed depending on the facing then it would be better.

Or if you did more damage depending on the facing.

If also there was different saves for different kinds of unit like Starcraft having Bio and Mechanical then it would be better too.

Having everything sharing the homogeneous statline causes issues in terms of representation.

Also by the sounds of it theyve change the wound chart because theyve repeatedly said that everything can wound everything so Im not sure how a lasgun is going to take out a warlord titan but okay.

>>53067544

>>53067594

>>53067509

>Why are wounds and toughness bad for vehicles?

Seems like the same kind of derp as making the larger battlesuits monstrous creatures.

As long as I've known of warhammer, no vehicle has ever had wounds, so it seems like GW got lazy or had a moment of blatant lunacy when I look up to find a dreadnought is operating under the same damage system as a carnifex or krootox.

Wounds are not what I associate with walkers and tanks of any kind.

>>53067466
Different Anon, but I feel a good way to speed things up would have been to use the AV idea of S+D6>T to wound instead of comparing S and T on a chart in your head.

If you want 6s to always win and 1s to always fail, you can include it too. But I always found the decision to use a chart system rather than an arithmetic system very strange if they ultimately worked the same, and last addition the only reason NOT to was that extra 6 on the right and the extra 1s on the left. Now that that's gone they could just say "X+Y>Z, 1s miss, 6s hit".
