I want my Skitarii to be a drop army, like the Elysians. I can't think of any bits that would look good on my Dragoon squad so I thought of something else.

How about Dragoons with a warp drive kinda deal? The Dragoons are transported to battlefields by literally battling through hell to arrive through a tear in reality and spear some fucking Heretics while a billion tin men fall from the sky and force some radiotherapy on you.

Yah I asked a friend to do the base paint with an airbrush and the fucker got way too happy with it and did some other things.

I'm not sure I like these new Felinid superheavies GW's selling.

M: infinity W: Lots A: Random Ld: None Sv. -8+ WS: 1+ BS: -

Special Rules:
No leader: Mr. Whiskers bows to now man and gives no fucks even for the rules of the game. Neither player controls Mr. Whiskers.
No Caring: Deploy Mr. Whiskers in reserves and roll as normal. When he arrives, place him on the table and let him wonder it has he pleases.
No Mercy: If Mr. Whiskers sniffs a model, that model's unit takes a 5+D6 leadership check. If he swipes or taps a model the unit takes a number of S10 AP-5 hits equal to the number of units touched. If Mr. Whiskers tries to bite or lay down on a model it is eliminated from play.
No Obligations: When Mr. Whiskers jumps off the table, he does not enter ongoing reserves and is effectively removed from the game. However, no killpoints are ever awarded for the loss of Mr. Whiskers.

I'm working to add as relics to go on top of an Immolator some old metal wings from Pegasus as some old saint relic.

Well, they'd hop through the Warp more than fight through it, but otherwise sounds cool. Stick a Lucian icon on the engines, show they've got similar tech to the Legio Astorum Warp Runners.

How are you doing the drop-assault? Counts-as Scions or D-99? Might be fun to add in some Flamer drop squads. I know in 30k you can drop Secutarii in with Arvus Lighters and more or less automatically gib a Baneblade or Spartan with 12 BS5 Cognis Haywire shots, which is an excellent cheesy tactic for telling deathstars to fuck off, but we can't do that here.

You're delusional if you think that six flyrants: the list isn't getting nerfed. There will be two entries in the Nid dex:

You can get like 20 magnets for 5 euros (at least where I live, which happens to be one of the most expensive countries in EU). If you want make it easy just slap the magnet to the arm/shoulder and on the gun and be done with it. If you want to put the extra effort on it you can carve the arms/guns to fit the magnet inside it.
>>
>>53085538
I think it's a sensible move. I don't see why flyers have to compete with other fast-attack choices for slots.

That said I kinda want the hydra and similar AA batteries to go in the Flyer slot. That way I wouldn't feel like I'm wasting Heavy/Fast slots on flyers that may or may not exist.

They are not entirely SoB, mostly using their rules to represent an Inquisitor personal army. They are missing more paint on the face so they don't look animic and some golden details, because gold is the best colour.

>>53085809
>>53085852

It's not Castellan Green, but it's close. I wanted to go FULL SHERMAN and grabbed some Tamiya XF-62, said to be as close to proper Wartime olive Drab as possible. I also wanted to try at least one competitor to GW paint and BOY do I regret it. Hand-painting that stuff without getting brush marks everywhere is much more difficult than the thicker GW product.

Do yourself a favor: if you want to play the hand-brush game, go Castellon green and don't look back.

I'm also less and less satisfied with this picture. The lighting is all wrong and the phone camera is captial-S shit.

Faces are mostly about getting the shading right I think, but I've only had moderate success with them. However, I've only done flesh tone flesh, not pallid greys.

They're not like, grouped as in "they're friends" it's just easy ways to divide all the races

Orks/Tau/Necrons are all too individualized so they can't buddy up with anyone, Eldar/DarkEldar/Harlequins/Ynnari make for a perfect book

Even 'Nids and GSC are technically different armies, while bros

It's not so much as "Orks are with Necrons and Tau", it's more like the teacher pairing students up into groups for a project together

Do we know yet if Command points will be faction specific or generic or a mix of both?

Giving faction based command point bonuses would be an easy way to add "unique FOCs" without actually adding FOCs in the codices.

I knw they;re not allied. Jees man you need to cool it! I just figured if you're going to group up the Xenos Codices you might as well put hordes with hordes and empires with empires. Plus, why give tyranids their own dex and then stuff 3 other xenos factions in another?

I can confirm. I ordered a bunch of magnets from ebay and most of the ones I bought were 200 for a few dollars. If you go china, you're paying close to a penny per magnet he most expensive ones I bought were 1x1mm which was $10 for 50, but I don't have to use them as much as my 2x1mm.

Pic related is some of my fucking around with magnets while building my NL. I didn't think I'd have as much fun as I did, and it wasn't that hard at all.

>>53086379
I'm sure it'll be like the psychic rules, everyone knows a few generic ones while also having unique stuff specific to them
>>
>>53086426
From an Imperial perspective, xenos are all just The Enemy Withoutâ„¢, and the lore has always been extremely Imperium-centric. Probably GW's rationale behind making Xenos a single "alliance".

Speaking of generic and specific stuff, I sure hope we get a glimpse at how Warlord rules will look like. Hopefully no more random ones.

Orks are unironically the heart of 40k. I don't even play them, but they exemplify all the best parts of 40k as a universe. Without them, 40k would take itself far too seriously, and that's no good.

So let me see if I understand this correctly. Assuming in 8th edition, if orks are ld 7 or even 8 for bosses, and I am running 30 orks in a squad, 15 of them get shot to death that turn, I then lose a guaranteed 8 +D6 MORE at the end?

So if they sperg out and the ork book comes out, and they leave in green tide, I lose 40 orks due to eating all the enemy firepower that turn, then at the end I am losing another 33 +D6 orks??! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

>>53086925
Orks need to be at the center of another big story like they were in Armageddon. Preferably this time they can have a leader other than Ghazzy. Not that he isn't the shit, but it's nice to see a faction have more than one really important character.

If you don't think an entire army of football hooligans with OH WHAT A DAY, WHAT A LOVELY DAY-tier ramshackle post-apocalyptic looted vehicles isn't the tightest shit, I don't know what to tell you.

You're correct. Age of Sigm- I mean 8th edition is going to be a fun and balanced ruleset!

>>53086947

You're right anon, none of the playtesters or designers thought of this, there surely won't be any abilities for Orks to mitigate battleshock like there are in Age of Sigmar.
>>
>>53086947
That's a lot of assuming there. Our ld will be lower (assuming since spess mehrines dropped), but you're ignoring the fact that bosspoles will likely buff it, then there is another rule from AoS that will likely follow where ld goes up by 1 per 10 models in the unit. Then there's the myriad possibilities for special rules. I wouldn't worry too much about green tide, especially since we're gonna actually roll armor saves now

Assassins failing at their specialisation hard to the point of ridicule.

Pask the anti Baneblade and leader of the common soldier simply sent his men to die to then return in a Baneblade.

Space Tau pope with maximum security and special shit, got killed by an anti Psyker Assassin, the fucker simply walk there, even rode a tank with other Tau.
While the Vindicare and Callidus that are used to this level of deep cover inside enemy territory got discover like nothing
>>
>>53087808
Anon the Callidus can infiltrate Orks, Genestealer Cult and Eldar. The last two can read your mind and tell you are not them. They usually fail when doing finer cultural things. The writers could have use that to tell the Assassin apart, not use they smell funny
>>
>>53087808
And orks/genestealers have a genetic way to sense whar's part of them and have been infiltrated.

I'm using a Skitarii Maniple to fill up points next to my Elimination Maniple. I'm wondering if I should use the Datasmith or one of the Skitarii Alphas (the one in the PlasCal squad) as my Warlord and also which table would be best to roll on.

A Datasmith Warlord obviously has the advantage of being with the robots and can potentially get the 8+ canticle for his unit while the Alpha has the Preferred Enemy bonus. Not sure if using the Skitarii traits and Tactical Objectives would be optimal either on that one, since Strategic Traits have some very powerful stuff in them and Skitarii objectives having some requiring Skitarii units, which I'm only using 2 minimum sized ones of.

I can't actually tell if this is Poe's Law or not.

Taking you seriously though... even though I like me some SMs, don't you think this is just a side-effect of GW spending much more time developing them than all the other factions?

Also, if we're doing unpopular 40K opinions: the Dreadknight wasn't nearly as bad as people like to say, at least aesthetically. Centurions look infinitely worse.

>>53086737
Tau were REALLY made to try and draw in anime fans around the turn of the century, when anime and manga were getting big in the West. GW more-or-less admitted this when they came out.

>>53087444
I developed an irrational dislike of Riptides, after seeing so many people pandering on WIP threads, etc. by posting their unpainted, unconverted, and totally unremarkable Riptides just after they came out, for no reason other than because the kit/unit was all the rage at the time.

>>53087781
>other than the fact that they're probably a Geedubs incentive to make painting even easier.
Well, that, and the fact that they probably want to give 40K its own Sigmarine analogue. You know, despite Sigmarines existing mainly to give AoS its own Space Marine analogue.

It's like a vicious cycle of one-upsmanship, in an attempt to make the most SOOPAR EPIK faction to draw in the over-excited, sugar-rushing kiddies.

Hopefully, but you know GW will suck the Tau's dick some more. I fucking hate the Tau and their fucking weeb players so much. The plot armor is so thick and pandering that it's shameful. Every fucking time the Tau turn up every other faction has to be written in the most pants on head retarded way that I wish I could strangle whoever wrote such trash. Because god forbid the factions are just written decently. No, it can't just be the Tau outsmart someone or win like an underdog, the Tau writers and players aren't happy unless the opposing faction is written like a bunch of slack jawed mongoloids who sit around shitting their pants compared to the grand Tau.

And I know Tau can be decent, like the Farsight Enclaves. So why are the regular Tau so full of bullshit? Are useless weeb faggots that much of a moneymaker where they can't stand to see their faction have to win on their own merits and have to win against neutered and mentally damaged versions of everybody?

Mine's mostly painted except for the newer stuff that I've only managed to basecoat and put on bases. I've been working through other projects lately. The new stuff is coming up after a few more non-Tau units, though.

They can literally use mind control on a hyper-indoctrinated Space Marine Librarian given the right circumstances, doing so on the completely psychically-defenseless Ethereal would be child's play.

Also, Aun'va was literally their supreme leader in the middle of a full-fledged warzone with the absolute best protection they could manage. And he still died.

There's this one guy trying to sell an entire Tau army for $2100 on the Houston Bitz Bazaar FB group. I find the idea of having someone purchase an entire army wishful thinking. Also, that pretty much gets rid of 1/2 to 2/3 of the aspect of the hobby.

Not my place to tell other people how to live but I really don't understand why anyone would get into this hobby if they didn't want to assemble and paint models and roll dice.

Paying people to paint your minis never made sense to me.

I also don't understand why anyone would buy a painted army.

To me, the journey is more important than the destination. I enjoy all the hours of assembling and painting, probably more than the actual game (of course 6th and 7th have been 5 years of shit and I play assault armies).

>>53088384
People have many different perspectives Anon. Personally, I've only paid to have one model painted ever and that was because I was afraid I wouldn't do a very good job painting Lysander. I was debating doing the same thing with Belisarius Cawl, but I'll give him a shot. I think for most people it's a time issue, the painting just takes time they feel they don't have.
>>

I feel kinda bad for you anon, I get a lot of joy out of doing that. Have you looked into ways of cutting down the tedium? Such as sprays for the base coat, washing in batches? I personally like to focus on one model at a time like it's a centrepiece, even though it's just another neophyte cultist
>>
>>53087308
Bravery removes by model. IE if you lose by 2 you lose 2 models regardless of wound count.

Fabius just did 50 wounds. Can you pass a Ld10-50 check? I assume insane courage is still in game but that's still a 35/36 chance to wipe the theoretical squad of titans.

Battleshock counts the number of models lost not wounds taken.

Nah, like finish base coats for several minis at once, then nuln-oiling (or whatever) all of them at once. Although that falls apart if you paint before assembling

>>53089058
40k is a joke setting that takes itself seriously.
As in it's hilarious to us but the characters take it all at face value, creating and setting a unique tone for the setting.

I mean just how ridiculous and hysterical is the concept of Blood Angels, Space Wolves or even the design aesthetics for Tzzentch bird-like creatures. This is without touching the obvious things like Orks and Gretchins.

It's this balance between being super serious and hardcore with silly concepts and stompy models that made it appeal to me.

While a lot of the thread has been lost, I think that it's still widely acknowledged by the writers that it's a satirical setting. It takes itself seriously for the sake of marketing to a modern audience that doesn't remember the 80's, but the heart and soul is still satire, ymmv.

How factions handle leadership (synergy, ATSKNF, Commissars, etc.)
Special new Lord of War releases like Primarchs

Things we'll get:
A day on NEW and IMPROVED Challenge rules
In-depth coverage on minute terrain rule changes
Some generic paragraphs vaguely hinting at future plot developments
One day talking about each faction in the most general terms, offering nothing new, and teasing one model's stat line
