I always like to see people fielding old school/unknown chapters or warbands. pic related is a very WIP of some old school night lords probable subfaction called brotherhood of darkness. been trying to get the runes right forever, to put yellow over them somehow. post your obscure marine/whatever faction models.

>The Brotherhood of Darkness are a warband of Chaos Space Marines of unknown origin and allegiance, though they may be related to the Night Lords Traitor Legion, due to their their similar iconography.

>Sightless Godling is a warship of the Brotherhood of Darkness Chaos warband and took part in The War of Broken Wings; aiding a Night Lords' fleet, in attacking the homeworld of the Angels Sanguine Chapter. During the battle it was boarded by the Angels Sanguine's Death Company, forcing the Brotherhood to retreat in order to save the ship.[1]

On a serious note, is 8th ed going to un-clusterfuck nids?

I started playing in 88 as Squats and IG. Picked up Marines when RTB01 came out. Fast forward to 3rd, playing Marines. Picked up Tau and Nids in 4th/5th. So tired of all my armies other than fucking marines being either adequate or underpowered from edition to edition.

Just hoping that GW gets some competent crunch writers to write rules that mean that every army has an equal chance but they all play uniquely.

>>53075985
Just grab one Tervigon and then a Zoey box and maybe the Start Collecting kit.

That'll give you 4 different synapse sources. You can only do one Prime out of a Warrior kit though, but you could always convert the others. We have no idea how Primes will work under the new rules though.

Assuming points are the same of course, I was thinking the tervigons and a few venomthropes (given the info on hit modifiers in 8th), only going to expand once the swarm is painted however

>>53076020
From one obscure chapter to other.

>>53076091
Nigga there was no need for kdk or scions to be a separate army in the first place. They just took like six units from another codex and built an entire army around them.

>>53076132
Starting that now since I have like 8 of those by accident.

>>53076217
Thats purely your assumption.

Maybe you should focus on getting a decent HQ that isn't overcosted trash.

Practically everyone these days knows that distraction carnifex doesn't work anymore, especially so with a shitty carnifex like OOE.

How would you add demons or GSC to a Sisters of Battle as main force with some Inquisition support and random Imperial Guard.

Remember kids it is only heresy if the Inquisitor that calls you heretic lives long enough to be a problem

>>53076419
Only your models get rules.

Your codexes are squatted and don't fit the narrative anymore.

>>53076443
Take allied detachment. They can be demonhosts or some shit in case of demons and GSC could have convinced them to be super pious and zealous and crusading cult of the four armed Emperor.

Daily 8th Edition reminder that Tyranids have been squatted

Hope not. The army's bloated enough as it stands

>>53076541

Ok, why is everyone suddenly on nids throats ? Have there been nid shitposters who cried tears of blood at the idea that tyranids might still suck ? Because, breaking news, this will probably not change in 8th.

I play nids, and I don't fucking care. Rules never stopped me from doing my best. I'm happy when I at least get to nom some ennemy units before being tabled, and am overjoyed when I finally get a pyrrhic victory.

For real, there's nid players who can't into the idea of acceptable casualties, or something ? Play another faction then, because tyranids are ALL about sacrificing your bugs for maximum damage.

Nid players need to fucking die.

Orks should be next.

Is it possible for Tyranids to defeat Orks? Orks are just flat out stronger, have more advanced technorklogy, breed at about the same rate, and can only be gotten rid of by total planetary annihilation. The only disadvantage they have is infighting. What would happen if a hive fleet got infected by their spores?

>>53076754
Tyranids curbstomped the Octarius Orks and was about to devour their capital world until Ghaz arrived and prevented the Orks from losing.

Orks on their own cannot defeat the Tyranids.

>>53076583

I like to bully those weaker and more vulnerable than me.

That being said I am actually glad genestealers got made official now as they offer a much better way to elevate the level of fluff and material the nids get as mindless eating machines is kind of limited. To use a WhF analogy the nids were Vampire counts without any vampire counts, at best maybe a strigoi king. Genestealers may not lead the nids like vampire counts did but at least they can be the conscious agents and characters on behalf of the nids.

How is an Harlequin troupe formed?

I've read multiple times how new members join them, but never how a troupe is formed
Were they all created in the period following the birth of Slaanesh or earlier or some are created in a more recent period?

Because I'd have decided for the fluff for my troupe but it would be something that happened recently in the 40k history

>>53076766
I meant outside of GW breaking their own canon to appease Tyranid fanboys.

>>53076814
Nid lore is kinda reverse-tau lore. If they ever got a major victory over anything they'd just roll the galaxy. Expanding nid lore was a mistake. Should have kept their numbers and purpose shrouded and up in the air.

>>53076814
It's not breaking anything. Tyranids are smarter, can gain momentum faster than the Orks, and can adapt to any situation.

Orks cannot hope to match that. They need to start big and keep the momentum pushing forward. The moment the Orks start losing their momentum it's already over because the Tyranids will catch up with them easily and then beat them.

The Tyranids invading that sector/system were the brood of a single Tyranid that survived an Ork space ambush. Through smarts and dertmination, these Tyranids collected enough biomass to be a sector spanning menace that brought the Ork empire in Octaraius to its knees.

>>53076850

>>53076860
Oy vey! Remember the d6+100000 chosen gaunts!

>>53076863
Not the whole thing. Leviathan is all over the place from Segmentum Solar to the Eastern Fringes.

The Orks blew up the tendril coming to their system. All that was left was a single Tyranid ship. Then the Tyranids multiplied.

>>53076863

Also adding the powerlevel creep can get a bit tedious, see it even right here in the last few posts. Everyone else has intrinsic hindrances to them being unstoppable. The Orks will always infight among them, having orks who can be 100% unified in the present is like the imperium of man suddenly becoming organized or dark eldar becoming nice. The Tau will always remain small. The Imperium will always have a thousand different distractions and be a bureaucratic mess. The Eldar will always be a dying race with a great minority of people. Chaos Space marines are pretty fucking inept, and Chaos is intrinsically part of the universe so you can never destroy it but it's also the easiest to protect against. Really only if you fuck up

The Tyranids? They have no intrinsic disadvantage. Literally everything is powerwank about how great and unstoppable and awsum and unbeatable they are. They are super smart super organized super adaptable they in fluff have the best melee they have better infiltrators and fifth column agents via genestealers than CHAOS. Infected bug-humans are better able to be discrete and subtle and corrupting than consensual ruinous power cults. It's probably easier to detect some warp taint than it is genestealer taint. In fluff their ranged power is as excellent as anything technological. Even fucking Genestealers are more lethal and dangerous in close quarters than anything Chaos owns. They are also immune to Chaos beyond physical chaos attacks or psyker magic missiles. The only fucking flaw is no real FTL travel.

I don't like playing chaos and in vidya the only chaos I'll do are 'barely chaos" like iron warriors but I much prefer them to the nids as the great big galaxy evil. If I wanted intergalactic superpowered fluff-favorite bugs I'd play starcraft. Fuck nid power-wanking.

>>53076894
Orks cannot replenish their numbers as fast as the Tyranids. Orks need to grow from spores or travel from far off distances.

Tyranids can puke out war ready Tyranids as fast as they devour the biomass. The snowball potential of the Tyranids is much more than the Orks. That's why the Ork Empire was pushed back and back until their capital world was days from falling, before Ghaz arrived to save the day.

>>53076916

nids can reproduce in the same way as an ork can, they spread spores that settle in hard to reach areas and grow into minor tyranids, which in turn create biomass to spawn larger ones from growing spawning pools.

orks reproduce by spreading spores and growing underground

>>53076916
Orks are dumb and allowed the Tyranids to devour a few planets before they reacted properly. By then it was too late.

And The Beast which was the overlord of the majority of the Orkish race and the Warboss of a galaxy wide Waaagh! was like 10 meters tall. Which I think barely taller than the primarchs. So stop exaggerating Ork growth

>>53076930
That's why I wrote that more orks join later, if it's a good fight. They come from all over the galaxy to Armageddon and Octarius, because they all know there's some big fight going on.

>>53076916

You're one of those idiots who actually thought the Beast was the size of a hab block, aren't you?

>"Infiltrating better than chaos"
Cute feelings you got there, Cruddace, but even the GSC codex specifies that hybrids and such can only hide where they aren't seen, & metamorphs & aberrants can't see the light of day -ever-, until the Uprising. They also have no access to interstellar travel, or weaponry outside of requisitioned Imperial junk.

You're just triggered that a Nid-related force isn't automatically trash horseshit that tramples over fluff--you know, like the amateur garbage you wrote.

Also: you still have to wake up in a world where random Internet regards wrote better codexes than you. When you neck yourself, will you mention Space 0din or other fandex writers in your suicide note?

>>53077502
Probably intended to be taken for allies. You get a second army to shore up your weakspots, but you get fewer Command Points.

These new detachments are game-wide meaning no faction specific ones, meaning that Skitarii get kind of fucked over since we can assume most, if not all, detachments will require at least 1 HQ unit and Skitarii have no HQ units since it goes against their fluff to have them.

Damn son maybe you nidfags wouldn't get trolled to hell and back if you weren't so emotional about your space cockroaches. And you seem to be forgetting that hybrids having to be hidden is small potatoes to having human cultmembers who are 100% indistinguishable from regular imperium citizens.

You might wanna go back to your safe space or you'll end up killing yourself because mean beanies on the internet don't like your faction.

Remember at the end of the day buddy - Orks and not nids will remain the #1 popular and present xenos threat in any and every kind of games or media of 40k. Orks will always be given more attention in fluff and even the poor Necrons are sooner to get new content compared to the nids. I'm sure with a universe being redefined with the ever-present threat of Chaos, the eye of terror becoming a cleavage breaking the empire apart, there might be some bones thrown to the nids way with how they are spooky and scary. As a background noise last-call next to the tau....who still get more shit than the tyranids.


So please don't kill yourself, you have something to live for. I assume. Maybe. Possibly. Hopefully.

>spam HQs to take maximum flyers / heavy support
>spam infantry to get command points

Might be neat, potentially a huge boon to infantry lists, like no-suit Tau.

>>53077844
It's not so bad when you realize that no one's getting formations that give you hundreds of free points for nothing and everyone is basically on the same footing in that regard. Yeah, your guys won't have a CAD anymore, but neither will the enemy, and they won't have a shitton of other special rules formations used to give on top of it.

>>53077861
>no-suit Tau
So no Tau player ever? Nevermind that their basic infantry is better than most others to begin with, but I've never actually seen a Tau list that wasn't maximum suit spam.

>>53077863
I could have one without the other. I love my CADs :(

LOW will be in smaller detachments, possibly single unit. The catch is they get no command points and they've been nerfed extensively anyway.

>>53077885
> I've never actually seen a Tau list that wasn't maximum suit spam
Never get this. I'm getting into 40k because Tau have the best looking infantry models among all factions IMO. Not running fire warriors and pathfinders is just a waste

>>53077500
>with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other, crying.

Sounds like two more shots and it will be over.

>>53077885
Hey man, robots are cool.

I've definitely seen mostly no-suit, I think full suitless is more of a theoretical build than a real one.

The crucial point is that regardless of the quality of Firewarriors, they're not killing tanks. With 8e, maybe they can, or at least maybe they can put on a crucial extra damage or two after the rail rifle does its job. But that all depends up how the units get divied out.

If Pathfinders become troops like they ought to be, then cool. If they're still fast attack that's very limiting, like it always has been.

I had always assumed they were the same anyway and it baffles me they were separate factions to begin with

>>53077920
I would like that. GW have proven that formations can't be balanced and all formations do is limit army building choices. Instead of building for fun or being creative, it's "Build this specific unit set or you're useless".

>>53077974
Aren't command points for combat abilities like re-rolls? Possibly replacing old combat benefits e.g. dropping Skyhammer in turn 1 costs 1 CP per drop pod.

>>53077908
Right? Fire Warriors are cool dudes though I am a little biased from the FW PS2 game

>>53077919
Oh yeah, suits are great aesthetically. I fuckin' love regular-ass crisis suits, I like 'em more than shit like Riptides even. There are plenty of options for dealing with armor, though, like the Tau's own tanks.

The problem is that suits are just too good (except railsides, rip best-looking suit) and spamming them is just too easy. And that's before you even get into Riptide cheese.

>>53078018
Too good is relative. Just make horde armies cost half off per unit across the board and we'll all be happy.

>>53078014
Seems like, but it could also be used as way to limit powerful detatchments, in that tgey have to be taken with a more balanced detatchment in the swme army.

Jyst speculation

>>53077991
>>53078008
Yeah from the sounds of it the different FOC will allow you to get somewhat similiar benefits compared to formations, but then without being forced to take X units of Y. No more formations writing your armylist for you is a good thing in my book.

>>53078001
That was just to milk the desperate mechanicus fans even harder by making them pay for 2 codexes instead of one.

>>53078035
That would be against the philosophy of giving the player more freedom to build his army. I'm betting on nerfed LOW with 0 CP.

>>53078042
>No more formations writing your armylist for you is a good thing in my book.
Yup! Plus no more factions getting insane benefits for theirs while others get nothing. Everyone gets equal bonuses.

>>53078061
There are still faction-specific detachments and command point abilities. The balance willl have to be here.

Formations are a great idea if it's not GW writing them.

They need to be fluff oriented, boosting fluffy lists to compete with minmax lists, and they need constant balance updates. GW designing them to sell models and never touching them once they're printed is why they were shit. As is, good riddance.

>>53078018
Tau tanks aren't great for anti-armor currently, though they might be better in 8th.

S10 AP1 is only as good as the to-hit roll when you only get one shot.

>>53078073
>S10 AP1 is only as good as the to-hit roll when you only get one shot.

And any cover/jink/invulnerable save the vehicle might have.

>tfw AoS still has formations, but they cost money
So, why do people keep screaming about 40k being turned into Age of Emprah?

I'm hoping in an update soon they limit allies. I think having a SINGLE detachment of only one other faction skulls be acceptable max. Everyone and their mom shouldn't be in one army piecemeal.

>>53078104
> Cost: 1 Command Point
> Choose a unit. That unit gains Ignores Cover until the start of your next turn.

>>53078097
Fluffy toys can be included in the default detachments. There's no reason for a specific faction one.

>>53078108
Because right now it looks like AoS second edition.
Maybe it is not that, but it looks like that

>>53078071
Well that's going to be garbage then. They shouldn't get them.

>>53078111
Bybthe sounds of it matched play is restrictive on how many and probably both the types and factions of detatchments you take.

>>53078108
How do you pay for formations in AOS? With command points?

Can't see how there aren't faction-specific detachments unless Ynnari can now get any universal FOC and gain soulburst.

>>53077613
The Eagle or Aquila/Aqvila is the heraldic symbol for Empire in actual real life so kind of stands to reason that the Imperium of man would use it.

>>53078130
Eh not really, its just its ownn thing really. Its oukled as much from older editions of 40k as AoS.

>>53077806
I believe they all will fulfill the patrol detachment requirements.

Assuming it's anything like what I've heard of from AoS, what would you like to see for certain faction specific command ability things? (Also, how does this shit work exactly? I know there's the normal stuff proposed, but are the faction specific ones swapping out with normal ones when you take them or something? Or can you use both with what command points you have?)
>>53078097
Hell, with what I've been hearing about command abilities and shit why not hope for even more possible toys instead? Something cool like destiny dice and/or other things.

>>53078151
Its pulled as much from older edditions i mean.


God i cant type for shit today,

>>53077110
Hmm. Anyone know if a Leman Russ turret will fit on a Sicaran Battle Tank? Or is there any way to field a Sicaran without buying Space Marines? It's probably my favorite 40k tank in terms of aesthetics, I might pull the trigger for a chance at that Warlord.

>>53078143
With normal points you spend for building an army.

>>53077908
Once you've gotten few games with fire warriors and pathfinders you will realize why they aren't that hot shit.

>>53078187
That makes sense. If a Riptide was 250pts base in a Riptide Wing, there should be less whining.

>>53078183
No, it's a SM tank.

>>53078170
Destiny dice specifically would be baller and make sense. ahriman led the fucking divination cult afterall.

I would love if TS command points let you do shit like resurrect Rubrics, ignore perils, multicast and all that. They should be magic-oriented, obviously.

>>53078187
This seems strange to me. The point of formations is supposed to be buffing fluffy or sub-optimal unit combinations by giving you bonuses in exchange for the cost of you taking fluffy things. Why tack on a pt cost on top of the unit-tax? If the unit tax doesn't justify the bonus, then it didn't need a formation.

>>53078143

In AoS, armies get special rules if every unit taken has the same keyword, so it could be like that.

>>53078201
Yah that was the issue with some broken shit in 7th

It was cheap ass balls. A troop choice with a transport was almost as expensive but not even as effective as a Riptide

>>53078232
What do you mean Ynnari can't bring Riptides and soulburst at the same time?

>>53078230
The problem was for that for some armies the formations had no sub-optimal units at all, and the majority had a lot of shitty tax units you'd never run otherwise and even with the formation bonuses are still a waste of a slot.

>>53078216
Me too, anon. Those all sound like they'd be amazing, and even just destiny dice alone would be wonderful for influencing the game and being a grand manipulator in its outcome. So many fun ideas can be had from the cult armies in general that I hope to see later on.
Here's to hoping for new toys that allow rubric focused armies to be wonderful.

>>53078018
A full-on crisis suit spam army is solidly mid-tier. You end up with a list that is like grey knights, just more mobile and shooty. And if you play max suits and use the enclaves detachment, you have to deep strike everything, which bites you in the ass more often than not. Sure, it may demolish orks and nids, but against a decently-made casual list it's much more of a 50/50.

>>53078266
This just seems like an issue with GW's ability to balance reasonably. Don't give formations to people who don't need it, make sure the bonuses on formations that ARE needed are sufficient to make that option viable.

>>53078295
There shouldn't be units that aren't viable without a formation buffing them to begin with.

>>53078230
Why is it strange? You can take whatever units you want. If they make up a formation, you can spend points to give them special rules. It's really not that different from buying wargear upgrades.

>>53078328
I agree, but formations are at least a way to buff old and weak units without having to release entirely new statblocks for them.

> Riptide Wing Detachment
> Command Benefit: 3 Command Points
> Tau Hellfire, Cost: 1 Command Point
> Tau Hellfire: Once per turn, a unit that uses Hellfire shoots all its weapons.

>>53078269
I'm with you! I'm itching for news so I can do some new purchases and organize my Legion. getting kinda sick of painting my Tau, but they're almost done. Can't wait to paint some blue and gold.

>>53078344
Good thing were getting a brand new edition where everything is updated at the same time and everything is brought in-line with everything else so we dont need that kind of formation balance anyway?

>>53078426
The manchild is still working on the rules. So I wouldn't have my hopes up

>>53078499
They also have all the major tournament scenes playtesting, and someone else is actually leading the development process.

Is it to early to infer that Blood Angels are their own faction?

>>53078534
Its probably going to be a 3 tiered faction system king of thing
Imperium - Space Marines - Blood Angels
Xenos - Eldar - Craftworlds
Chaos - Chaos Space Marines - Black Legion

and they'll do it like in AoS where "If your entire detachment has the craftworlds faction, units in that detachment may battlefocus" or something

>>53078534
yes. it's likely to be like age of sigmar and models have usually have 2 or 3 faction keywords.
BA are sure to be Imperium, Astartes, BA.

>>53077522
Wonder if the batallion is supposed to fit in a regular game.

>>53078566
thats like 18 units minimum. There's no way your getting that at anything under ~2-2.5k points

>>53078554
>Xenos - Orks - Snakebites - Mork

I can see it now.

>>53078554
Hopefully the will be some division among the Xenos.
Eldar working with Necrons is Black Templar and Black Legion team-up tier.
