hey /tg/
absolute 40k noob here.
i got my hands on an imperial guard/astra militarum codex and i like all the cheap and flexible infantry troops and the tanks/artillery. the starship troopers look is also nice.
do you have any sugestions wich boxes are a good start for an army ?

also one question regarding the heavy weapons team: the codex says they can chose one of the wapons listed in the "heavy weapons" segment but i cant find a special list for heavy weapons in there, just the general weapons list. so wich weapons can i choose from ?

>>53068853
I was gonna say Freddie because he died from a disease contracted from unprotected anal sex, but then I remembered that 90% of the Eldar died because they went so gay they literally birthed a Chaos God out of it and when they die their soul is forfeit to it. And they're STILL massive faggots.

I actually just picked up a box of Wyches and a Razorwing for 50% off a couple days ago. Started collecting DE, then gave them to a new player who couldn't afford it on his own. Hopefully the RWJF and Wyches are a good enough intro back.
Now I just have to figure out how to cut apart bases and make a tall enough recess for ocean bases...

>>53069240

You want Space Marines for that.

>also one question regarding the heavy weapons team: the codex says they can chose one of the wapons listed in the "heavy weapons" segment but i cant find a special list for heavy weapons in there, just the general weapons list. so wich weapons can i choose from ?

generally i'd just advise you to hold back anyway. 8th i on it's way

either way it should be before the start of the HQ sections
you have mortars for like 5 points
heavy bolters for around the same
Auto cannons for like 10
and missle and laz for 15 i think
I advise you taking the autocannons
Mortars have been supplanted by the wyvern
MLs and laz are too expensive for BS 3
and heavybolters are just meh
you get statistically one hit with the auto cannon.
it can swap between hunting MC, intantry and AV (which will not be along for a bit)

>>53068788

Starship troopers are literal Cadians.

>>53069240
what everyones gonna tell you is the edition is about to roll so you have no idea what will be useful, id say just get what you think is cool, some good ways to start are
>start collecting- leman russes have never been bad and look cool as hell, also you get a commissar which is just a cool model even if not used as a commissar
>armored fist box- transports are always important and this gets you more guardsmen
>company command squad box- this gets you your HQ and lots of fun bits to give your army personality
id say get them in that order, none are crazy expensive and all will be useful no matter what edition it is

>>53069309
What? They're straight up Cadians.

>>53069376
he's probably talking about the book, where they wear power army and use drop pods

My IG are kitbashess of Pistolier heads, Great Swordsmen torsos, and Cadian arm annd pants

>>53069434
>>53069376
Nah, man. They're guys in suits of power armour that make them look like steel gorillas.

Those guys are from Bug Hunt on Outpost Nine.

>>53069240
People claim we don't know what will be useful in 8th, but thats a white lie. The following units will be useful in 8th in IG no matter what:

>Infantry Squads
You'll need them. If you don't want them directly you'll want them so you can get conscripts, which ALSO use these models. In fact, nearly everything in the troops slots use these models so you can never, EVER go wrong buying infantry.

>Chimeras
If you need infantry you'll need a way to protect the infantry and get them to objectives. Even if the Chimera turns out useless you can grab an autocannon turret from forgeworld and call it a counts-as tourox.

>Leman Russ
We got 7 different variants. One of them is bound to be worthwhile, most likely half or more.

If all three of these units suck in 8th, its the whole army down the drain. So you can invest in those three units safe in the knowledge that at least 2 of them WILL be competitive unless GW demotes us to Ork tier.

>>53069449
>My IG are kitbashess of Pistolier heads, Great Swordsmen torsos, and Cadian arm annd pants
Makes me really hope that rough riders are good next ed.

I really want to do ktibashes/modeling for them.

>>53069520

The Starship Trooper Mobile Infantry are probably closer to Crisis Suits than even Space Marines in term of bulk and look.

>>53069203
>Don't know if the fixed-weapon transport shooting is a nerf or not for you guys.

Weren't they the first to do the concept of power armour?

>>53069615
I've seen some nice conversions using Bikes. They're not my favorite units because, well, Cavalry just don't make since unless we're talking transportation. But I can see there coolness factor.

>>53069657

>>53069657
One night I had sever autism and crunched all the numbers
No matter the BS, for its points autocannons are best against anything AV11-13, with multilasers doing best against AV10 and lascanons doing best against AV14

>>53069664
Pretty sure the greek god heaphastus or what fucking ever had that one with divine magitech armour.

>laz is a lasercanon and ML a missleluncher, correct?
>what do you think about a lazercanon or missleluncher in a veterans unit with bs4 ?
unless you plan on blob guarding, vets do better with a melta rush with a chimera.
you could bull it off but you can only have one heavy weapons team per vet blob and that results in a lot of wasted shooting.
then again you could "dick in a box" by shoving weapon in a chimeria but we don't know if it will have a top hatch in the new edition.
the general wisdom is to run them like cheap stormtroopers

>>53069707
I read that as "geek god"

Anyway, don't remember that myth, but SST one of the earlier modern era stories that took the concept and applied it to a military force.
In terms of function, they are closer to Crisis suits. Jetting around with flamers and explosive launchers, and not hitting things with swords. Size-wize they would be in between, but Marines don't do all the fancy stuff MI suits can.

>>53069728
4 shots of autocannons outdo everything they can hurt compared to one lascannon shot, since thats the same number of points, id have to get my chart out to see them unweighted

>>53069758
What?

>>53069647
The tournament I'm in long running buy and build army month by month, local store incentive to bring in new players and get money but any plastic/not made to order models you buy for the tournament are at a 10% discount which is the best he can afford to give awards bonus points if you finish painting by the time the next month rolls around, I cam so close to getting full points on the first month despite having more models that literally everyone but because I procrastinated more than one time I could have been painting and spent ages getting everything perfect, including insuring my daemonettes and their steeds have nipples, I missed out by an hour. I had literally 3 Seekers to put the final wash on then I could do their eyes and I'd have been done, it was almost physically painful.

>>53069831
Yeah, our tournament also rewards points for paintjob and the only reason I didn't get a full score there was because I didn't finish 5 of my bases in time. Told myself that I'd get maximum paintjob points this time around but no way in hell am I going to finish this in time.

>>53069831
Good work fucking that up.

>>53069866
>my tourney also hands out "hobby points"
>entire guard tank army is done
>finish final model a couple weeks after last months tourney ends
>start playing blob guard
>add an extra 100 guardsmen to paint

>>53069866
First month was hardest on everyone, it's just that my army is so cheap points wise I had the most units. I'll get max paint job points in the second month since at an increase of 100 points per list I have legit just added a new squad of 10 daemonettes (and gave my Herald a new toy) to paint for the second month.
>>53069867
I still got partial finished points for the paint job and won 2/3 of my first months matches. To be fair I had literally twice the number of units of some people and the Exalted Seeker Chariot is an insane unit at 400 points. Only game I lost my Warp Storm table killed my Herald turn one and kept ripping my units off the board with the Khorne result.

>>53068812
Don't feel bad. If you want to get better, post pics and get critique, but if you just want to post your guys for the sake of posting your guys, you can do that too.

If you're too shy, post pictures of them during a game. Gameplay pictures always make everything look nicer because they are farther away and there's terrain and it's neat to see everything all set up.

>>53069793
>since thats the same number of points
You have to add the points of what's carrying it into the mix too, since you're not capable of fielding just them.

>>53069970
that doesn't make any since though for guard
the heavy weapons team costs the same base no matter what weapon it has, same for everything else
a space marine holding a melta gun doesn't cost any extra than what the gun it worth

>>53069415
>>53069536

tanks for the helpfull recommendations.

will give my local GW a visit in the next days and see if i can get one of the starter boxes and maybe some aditional infantry.

yea the leman russ looks realy nice. is the one with the gatling gun any good for a small army? could imagine he shreds infantry pretty well with the 20 attacks (hope i got that right).

>>53069376
>>53069434

It makes me sad to realize how many people only know starship troopers for that shit movie.

>>53070007
Gatling gun is okay, and becomes godly when you put a special character called knight commander Pask in it

Leman russes are very easy to build so that you can swap the guns out, if you're really feeling fancy look up how to magnetize things

>>53070007
The Leman Russ Punisher kinda-sorta wrecks...everything. If it doesn't change in 8th, it's likely to be even better! There was a reason putting Pask in the punisher was called the "Cheese Grater" by my FLGS.

The reason was he gave it rending. Spoiler: Everything has the Rending Effect in 8E. So now it should be just as good if better than the old version because you don't even need the 70 point Pask on it.

Fuck reposting Cuz I forgot a weapon team counts as 2 guys so I can only bring 7 lasgunners
Ok guys I got a question for you
Let's say I played a game with you, I wiped out this squad along side my list and said "this is my Veteran guardsmen squad. The seargant has a bolter and the squat is a lascannon heavy weapons team. Squats used to be t4 so I figured 2 wounds at t3 is accurate to represent this, as I also love this model. They'll ride in a chimera. They got flak armor and blah blah blah..."
Would you be fine with that? How about in a tourney?
>>53070261
Isn't this more of a counts as than a home brew?

>>53070004
If you're comparing two autocannons to a single lascannon, you're also paying for twice as many heavy teams.

>>53070162

Watch the red letter media review of starship troopers, it's actually a pretty damn good movie - but I understand the sentiment.

>>53070192
my friend rebased his entire guard army on 32mm for armies on parade
they look a bit awkward on the larger bases but it gives you a lot more freedom to do some fun basing and also they fall over A LOT less
guardsmen are supposed to be on 25mm though so it kinda depends on how much autism your gaming group has since it messes with rules a bit

only issue is heavy weapons team is supposed to be 60mm which is kinda a huge difference

Not all of them, following "the base they come with" -rule, a lot of metal Imperial Guard have heavy weapons that come on 25mm bases but they also always have two models.

Notice that there aren't any heavy weapon troopers there.

Thanks for the answers anyway guys.

I'll probably base a unit up on 32mm and then see how it looks when they're painted. They may look better when there's more focus on the model.

Would it be better if I did this? There's a rule that says to use the original base a model came on, so they'd both be 1 would each. My missile launcher teams are on 25mm bases because that's how they came on, one 25mm with the rocket and one on a 25mm with the gun

it's modelling for advantage, that's a fact. even if you don't intend use it to be a faggot, you still can fit more heavy weapons teams in cover than before. In a friendly game I would let it slide, in a tournament situation or if I didn't like you I would tell you to fuck off.

That being said, I do like cool old models and I hope you can find a way to put it a squat team on a regular base.

>>53070813
Red Terror and OOE are indeed characters. It has to be a specific person with a name to be a character.

Swarmlord technically is one but basically everyone would prefer if we all just agreed his shit fluff was never written and pretend he doesn't exist.

I think that means OOE actually wins.

Ahkchually, all Orks are latent psykers, and they gain muscle mass and size when they become the alpha of their tribe/mob due to the collective admiration of their peers. So Ghazgkull does use psychic tomfoolery, really, all orks do.

>>53070967
Yeah that was sort of what I was getting at. But Ghaz is also a straight up Weirdboy level psyker too, although I think he only recently started discovering his powers?

>>53068771
Grandpa?!

>>53070977
Technically speaking he's been hearing the voices of Gork n Mork ever since Grotsnik gave him that shiny Adamantium skull, so he might have stronger connection to the Warp/WAAAGH! than most Weirdboyz, without the pesky drawback of having to worry about WAAAGH! energy overload.

At least as far as I know anyway.

Not buying chinaman for shit GW refuses to make plastic/restock

File: guard list.png (48KB, 1454x803px) Image search: [Google]

48KB, 1454x803px

me and my friends are playing in a 6 player campaign. Of course the Ynnari Eldar player is dominating, but I'm trying to help some of the other players come up with lists to at least stand a chance against it. What do you guys think about this guard list?

Armor heavy, they sit behind the aegis defense line and just try to take shit out every turn. The Tank Command Squad dish out 7 STR 7 AP 2 small blasts, 2 STR9 AP2 and 4 STR 7 AP 4 shots at 36 inchs. Assassins can be disruptive and the rest of the heavy armor can just pound on whatever else.

>>53071055

>>53071101

If Z wasn't so odd about shit, I'd probably try his Incubi. So far, I've liked MI the best, and she has Incubi for $20. Legion forge is pretty good, but they're mostly 30k.

Please don't spread misinfo. Kratom has a low potential for addiction according to research, and from my own experience, it's not very addictive because it's not a feeling you want constantly. I regularly stop using it for several months at a time, then when I want to paint a large batch of models I will use kratom a few times per day until the models are complete (it lasts about 3 hours on an empty stomach, so let's say I'm painting for 9 hours on a Sunday I will take it three times).

>>53066693
Kratom is legal in most of the US. It is illegal in some countries because Thailand banned it for economic reasons forever ago and other governments followed suit because governments love kneejerk bans. Kratom recently became a big deal in the US because the DEA decided to meme ban it and people raised a fuss so hard they actually rescinded their ban until "further investigation" as to whether it is harmful. It's been a year since then and it's still legal.

Anyway, kratom is a mild stimulant. It's ground up leaves you mix with water and drink, tastes disgusting. It's not going to get you high unless you take way too much, in which case the nausea will be worse than the weak, shitty high. It can make you woozy occasionally though so it's not good for driving. For me, kratom is like liquid painting motivation. I drink 2 teaspoons of that shit and get excited about painting models again, it makes me feel like when I'm in the store and looking at boxes and imagining playing games. You know, that feeling you get until you get home and actually open it lel.

So overall I would recommend trying kratom to anybody with tons of unpainted gray plastic at home. Unless you have an insanely addictive personality, you should be fine. Kratom isn't some hard drug, it's one step on the ladder above coffee tier. Lot of misinfo about kratom because the culture surrounding it full of stoner retards and governments like to scare people.

It's about kratom. Which is a coffee-like plant you can use to give you motivation to paint your miniatures. A lot of people field gray plastic so I'm just posting what helped me.

My enthusiasm probably comes off as some hardcore shilling but t.b.h. I'm just sayin', some fa/tg/uys might want to try it. It's how I get my shit painted.

So are Daemons of Slaanesh, Eldar, and certain weapons going to grant Always Attacks First or do you think it will be some kind of effect that changes the way you can activate units?
I feel like, as simple as Always Strikes First would be, some opponents might refuse to activate certain units to avoid getting destroyed by these fast melee specialist units.

To be fair that 1st part was part of what made all the difference in the messages.

In both the book and the movie, serving in the military was vital for full citizenship. This is only really appealing to anyone, anywhere if the chances of going home and living to a ripe-old age are decent to definite.

So in the book which argues for such a system, you see the soldiers consistently geared in the best arms and armor, highly trained, and incredibly competent. Often facing enemies who have no real chance even as they outnumber them hundreds to one. In other words, highly unrealistic. But it certainly helps convey a message that the system is sustainable or possibly desirable even in times of war.

In the movie, the soldiers are poorly trained, underequiped, and rarely capable of doing anything smarter than hiding behind a wall...sometimes. In other words, highly unrealistic. But it conveys the idea that the system is not sustainable, let alone desirable, especially if your at war with an equal or superior force.

>>53071505
There's a huge difference between a territory switch and a new guy wanting to start a new war. You don't fucking add version numbers or whatever stupid shit because that's just fucking gay.

New Tau player, I've now got:
2x SC!
Commander
A spare Etherial not on hover drone
Riptide
2x Broadside
Optimized Pathfinder Team (10x PF + DF)

What would the resident Tau-players suggest for my next purchase? I was looking at maybe a Hammerhead/Skyray, or some Piranhas, but I'm also a big fan of the Remora Drones and Tetras that FW had... I really like variety and being able to build a bunch of different lists with what I've got, so I'd like to eventually pick up a little bit of everything. Really hoping that Kroot and Vespids are at least viable in 8th so I can justify picking them up.

>>53071497

Eldar will probably get something, like some melee Eldar or a weapon they can purchase, or maybe even a Warlord trait or psychic power will do it.
I don't play Eldar but even I know they're supposed to be fast, they're the only things that can hit at the same time as my Daemonettes when both are unmodified so they'll probably get something.

you are going down a bad road my friend.

1) 8th edition is around the corner, don't buy shit that you might not want to field when 8th drops.

2) buying tons of models as a new player is a classic blunder. you want to actually finish painting your units before you buy a bunch of new ones. there are boxes of never-painted models sitting on shelves around the world because guys like you thought they would paint them fast. just paint what you have m8.

you could fix that barrel with a hobby knife. just stick it in the hole and twist it to make it wider*

*for normal holes. for the one you have there, it's gonna be a little difficult because it's not centered so you don't want to carve the bottom part and fuck your barrel. you can stick the knife in and just twist it back and forth upward to only remove the top area around the hole, but it's a bit trickier.

Thank you for your concern!

1. I'm talking mostly about buying at most one of a given unit, and even if they end up with crappy rules, I play casually with friends who do the same, so I'm confident I'll still get an opportunity to use them
2. I've painted the majority of what I have, with the exception of the broadsides which I got fairly recently.

At the moment I can do 1000pt games pretty comfortably, and have a list set up for 1250 but it's pushing it with what I've got. Was hoping to diversify a bit to have more options at the 1250 level or make progress towards 1850.

Always both. At least 2 squads of mech Vets with Plasma or Meltas. I would then have a Company Command squad in a Chimera with Plasmas or Meltas travel near them to give out orders if the Vets hop out. I would go for at least a Conscript blob of 30 men. 30-50 is best with a Commissar or Priest.

With the remaining Infantry squads I would either make a second blob of 20-50 or use 2-3 separate squads to hold objectives on your side or on your lines for Hold the Line. Having blobs are great for speed bumps, tarpits and overall board control.

Shoots with what units? Falling back sacrifices any shooting/charging. A trukkboyz list will push your shit in. Orks will lose less trukks and boyz in 8th because shit doesnt fucking blow up when your opponent sneezes.

>>53072019

This was incorrect the first time you posted it, it's still incorrect now.

>Titan formation
Formations don't exist anymore
>wounds on a 6+ (because everything can do that in 8th)
We do not know this, it's only been stated that it is possible for everything to wound everything else, not what the specific rolls are.
>His weapon is Instant Death
This doesn't exist in 8th. We've got Mortal Wounds now, which WILL be dangerous to things like titans, but titans will have enough wounds that they won't get insta-gibbed.
>Remove other 2 Titans after failing battle shock
So you rolled 1d6+1 versus the Ld of your titans, and somehow got 2 over? Marines have an Ld7, so losing a single unit cannot cause further losses, and I can't really imagine the titans having a lower Ld than that. Not to mention, aren't Titans usually in units by themselves, in which case this entire mechanic doesn't apply?

Behemoth: Red carapace / blue skin, although the old art for them with the pale white heads and red markings and much, much darker carapace/skin that was almost black with just red or blue highlights looks much better than the ones they actually paint up.

Kraken is red carapace with black striation, pale sandy brown/tan skin with black mottling for markings.

Leviathan is the one on all the art these days, albino pinkish white skin with dark purple-black carapace.

Jormungandr is the black-and-yellow crazy-detailed markings hornet/poison frog looking nids.

There are a few others that are semi-canon out there as well.

This. This is the part people keep forgetting.

Yes, the opponent can fall back from combat and then his friends can shoot you. But if you tie up like 2/3s of the army in one round and they all fall back next turn, fucking none of them are shooting dick.

Yes, I think in the latest Codex even different tendrils of the same fleet have slightly varied coloration, for example I think the Calth Tendril of Behemoth was different from the Macragge Tendril. You would have to look through a scan of the Codex.

>>53072147
>What's the old art look like?
Pic related.

>And do you know about any of the other canon ones that there might be?
Harbinger, Moloch and Hydra are all the actual armies of hobbyists from back in the day who were very close with the design team and all of them have been mentioned in canon fluff at certain points, you can look up their color schemes.

I seem to remember Gorgon being shown as a swampy green at some point but I might just be imagining it. Forge World had the Anphelion Splinter which was in a very similar scheme to that, look up the painted Forge World Hierophant or Malanthrope.

>>trukks don't blow up
We don't know that yet
>>free 1" on charge
And it's still random distance while the other unit gets to overwatch as much as they want. Even if you fail the charge.
>>pistols can be shot in combat(during shooting phase)
Doesn't help melee armies. Assault comes after shooting. They'll get to shoot you with pistols. You'll have to wait until your next turn to shoot with a pistol in melee (without them falling back or either unit dying)
>>can pile in to engage other units w/o fear of overwatch
You have to pile into the closest enemy. Sigmar has this and it's rare to pull another unit in.
>>charging units always swing with all weapons first
Nope. They can spend a command point to swing first. You can bet your sweet ass they'll save points for just such occasions. We also don't know how unwieldy works.

I mean shit even people can't "look like they have autism" it's not a condition with visible markers. You would have to observe them in action to tell.

>assuming someone's psychology

Fucking neurotypicals

>>53072395
You sound like you have severe autism.

>>53072374
Correct. You can only spend a single command point per phase and one of the things they can do is potentially allow you to interrupt the striking order in the Fight phase.

What we don't know yet is how you get command points and whether you have access to all of the abilities they can pay for or if certain detachments unlock certain command point abilities and not others. Also there are race-specific ones? It sounds like a really fucking cool system and I'm dying for more info on that.

>>53072407
>Did you just assume my mental condition ?

Did you just assume my meme status?

>>53072409
A sign of severe autism is ritually repeating the same or similar phrases often.

>>53072422
They already confirmed race specific command abilities will be a thing. At worst the armies will get the once they get their 8th edition codex.

I'm also really curious about the command point system. It really sounds like something that can make or break armies, or even the entire game

I think it will be the new Formations. You take X combination in one of the 50 or something new Force Org charts and you get X Command Points. You want to Skyhammer someone? Buy the models and spend the Command Points.

I'm sure the playtesters made sure they weren't utterly gamebreaking. But they definitely sound like they add a lot to the game, more decision-making on the part of the player makes the game more tactical.

>>What if there is a command ability that prevents overwatch for a turn ?
I don't think any of them are that powerful. They seem more like they have effects that only target a single unit, like you could prevent ONE unit from firing Overwatch for a turn. Unless that's what you meant.

>>53072487

>>53072517
Hello 1d4ddit!

>>53072353
>We don't know that yet
Vehicles having wounds instead hullpoints, AoS was beta test for that. No damage table, but a loss of capability as they take damage(moving slower, shooting less).
>overwatch as much as they want
Thats a general point to get rid of people chucking sacrifical meks into tau gunlines, thats only fair for the other positive changes for assault units
>doesnt help melee
If they dont fall back, unit eats slugga shots if they haven't been chopped in the prior turn, its a give and take situation but gives a bit more to assault units
>rare to pull another unit in
Fucker, what do you play with or against all the time? BCR? Engagement ranges can make or break an assault in AoS.
>[a speculative point but somewhat right]
Spending command points to attack first but what does that mean? 1 unit before chargers? All units? There are so many break points in the fight phase its hard to tell what can happen first. Either way, the assault army got to assault, so they'll likely still do decent damage to the juicy targets at the end of it. Forcing a player to spend points is a boon in of itself.

I've been out of the loop for a while and this will change come 8th edition I'm sure, but for someone wanting to run all 4 assassins what would be a good base army for it?

>>53072510
I haven't heard this directly but I've been told by other anons that during the livestream or in the FB comments somewhere they confirmed Formations will still be in, but will cost points (and therefore won't have "free points worth of shit" as benefits like WarConvo).

So, just like AoS. Not really surprising.

>>53072510
I can't imagine them not bringing Formations back following the AoS models. I suppose it will come down to how much for what Formation. 30 points for an Aspect Host? +10 per model in a Royal Court? The possibilities are endless.

>>53072395
Have you looked into Tyranid incursions on a world? Genestealers integrate via reproduction and the offspring are cited as looking off and acting like they are on the spectrum(which is why no one notices until its too late).

So, nid guns are living creatures grafted to their arms. In 3rd and 4th edition they were always painted exactly like the rest of the creature carrying them, making it hard to tell where one ended and the other began, which was the whole point and made sense. In 5th the studio decided to start painting the weapons a different color to make them easier for newfags to tell apart, but that was a dumb fucking decision and looks bad and makes no sense with the fluff, considering that a fleshborer is just as much a Tyranid as a carnifex or anything else in the Hive Fleet.

Unless you don't care about your whole fleet being painted as a single homogenous color scheme and mix them all up by strain, like they did waay back in 2nd ed which had pinkish carnifexes, purplish hormagaunts and genestealers, reddish termagants and warriors and so on.
