I can't even understand why people are getting worried about 8th.

Chances are it can't possibly be worse than 7th and even if it was would that really surprise you? This is GW we're talking about, you have to expect that things only get worse.

I'm hoping for a push and pull type thing. Chaos wins by destroying Cadia and splitting the galaxy in half. Imperium pushes back by reviving Guilliman, turning Cadia into a space fortress and creating NuMarines. Then the Daemon Primarchs leave their planets to finish their unfinished business with Guilliman. Then the other loyalist Primarchs come back.

And then, Horus Heresy 2: Electric Boogaloo.

There's a small area on the back of the shoulders on the leviathan for those pieces, gun arms use just the little vent, melee weapons have a cable that attached to the back of the arm

What I did since I magnetized the arms was I attached the vent pieces to the shoulders then using a hairdyer bent the cables for the arm weapons so that they would tuck into a gap right above the "elbow"

OK then.

So we both brought fairly standard lists, I wanted to throw in a little melee and he went for no vehicles at all.

AdMech:
Skitarii Maniple:
10 Vanguard, Omnispex, 3 Plasma Calivers and Pater Radium because spare 20 pts.
5 Rangers, Omnispex
5 Infiltrators, Omniscient Mask
Dunecrawler, Neutron + Extra Stubber

Allied Detachment:
Dominus with Eradication Ray and Conversion Field
3 Kataphron GravStroyers, Phosphor Blasters

Red Scorpions:
10-man Tactical Squad with Grav/Combigrav and Missile Launcher, Combat Squadded the usual way.
7 Sternguard and ML2 Geomancy Librarian in a pod, mix of combi-plasma and combi-meltas.
5 Bikers with gravs, ML2 Librarius Libby Warlord on bike with them.
5 Devs, 2 Lascannon 2 Grav-Cannon with Amps

Both of us basically took our 1850 lists and knocked off 850, which is why they look a little wierd.

He rolled up the Fury of the Ancients (S6 AP4 Pinning 20" Beam) and Null Zone (-2 to Invulns) on the Librarius, and Warp Quake (d6 S6 hits on units in a terrain piece) and Twisting Worldscape (Move terrain 24") on the Geomancer. A tad unlucky, there. WTs were nothing interesting.

I didn't photograph deployment, but I stuck the Kataphrons in a ruin in front of the Crawler, the Dragoons behind another building and not Scouting while the Infiltrators hid inside it, the Rangers on an objective and the Dominus leading the Vanguard straight up the middle.
He deployed the Missile combat squad onto the top of a ruin with Objective 3, the devs and other tacs onto a long ruin in his deployment and the bikes in front, in a line.

Turn 1, he Null Zoned the Dominus' squad and shot everything into him, but some lucky LoS and Feel No Pain on the Skitarii meant he got out of it on two wounds and four dead Skittles, including the Alpha and Omnispex.
The Sternguard landed right on the board edge and shook the Kataphrons up inside their ruin, then lit them up with Combi-Plasma for first blood. He saved the Meltas.

His Bike Libby had hit perils with Null Zone, losing a wound and the ability to cast it again, which was again very lucky on my part.

The Dunecrawler, despite no Doctrinas in effect, earned himself the Omnissiah's favour with the best shot he's ever made, killing five Sternguard and the Librarian in a blinding burst of Cherenkov radiation. The Dragoons swung around and impaled the two remaining Sternguard into their own pod, despite a melta blast only just saved on the Incense Cloud.
Dominus Xander Treides sealed his torso plating with his cutting torch and began chanting the Canticle of Binharic Omniscience, calming the machine spirits of the plasma and allowing them to drop two of the bikes and the Rangers nailed another one, before one of the remaining Carbine Vanguard bullseyed the remaining two with a strafing burst of fire. He has been recommended for promotion to Alpha.

The remaining Biker Librarian decided discretion was indeed the better part of valour and retreated behind the improvised gunline fort, channeling the Emperor's Wrath against the flickering battle armour of the Sicarians, which did an excellent job of attenuating the blast that flared through the ruins.
The Missile Launcher slammed a second shot into the side armor of the Dunecrawler, but again failed to penetrate, while the Devastators lit up the Dragoons, crushing one with the green beams of Grav-Cannon. More slashed against the Dominus striding forward through the gunsmoke, but his haloed Conversion Field turned them aside harmlessly.

The Skitarii didn't even seem to realise they were under fire, the Infiltrators content to remain ducked down inside their bunker (because I entirely forgot about them, embarrassingly) while occasional Galvanic Rifle fire did little to discourage the Marines manning the barricades, wounds sealed with the flick of a Narthecium. Neutron and Eradicator blasts pummeled the right battlements, sending two Devastators staggering back with their armour scoured of colour but no lasting damage.

Well, you're going to want some of them mechanised (or airborne) to get onto objectives. I guess the rest can act as counter-assault units or something. Probably going to want a fair number of heavy firepower units to make up for the lack of lasguns, but fortunately you've got loads to choose from.

The only thing shotguns offer over lasguns is the ability to charge after shooting, so you want to be ready to do that. Probably best to take quite a few units which can assist with that, because guard close combat is pretty anemic. Ogryns, bulgryns, rough riders and characters are about all you have. Of those, rough riders are actually likely to be the best simply for the ability to get where you need them. Might want to take some allies to make up for what you don't have. Skitarii are fairly decent; vanguard give you some more brutal close-range shooting and the ability to drop enemy T in close combat, while secutari and dragoons are fast and deadly. There's probably some shit in imperial agents that works well too and might be a bit more fitting for your style.

The missile operator changed target, but had no more success as the projectile did little more than scorch the armour of the last Dragoon. Grav-amps and Lascannon brought down a Sicarian as they finally advanced, and two Skitarii plasma gunners fell to bolter fire and grav-guns.

With some of their famously precise aim finally restored, the Crawler and Vanguard again strafed the battlements, and the Apothecary grabbed the man he was treating and dived off the walkway as the other three battle-brothers were reduced to bone fragments and bleached Ceramite shards. The Rangers continued to attempt suppressing fire, but with only two Skitarii able to see their adversaries it was no more effective than last time.

The Devastators slagged the actuators in the Dunecrawler's left legs, pinning it in place in plain sight of the other Tactical team, who once again failed to damage the armour plating. A psychic blast of energy slashed across the Infiltrators advancing through the ruin reducing one to chopped meat.

The Dominus continued his steady advance, macrostubber rattling across ceramite as his squad changed direction and fired on the Devastators, killing two. The Dunecrawler failed to adapt to reduced fire arc and missed completely, burning a neat hole through a ruined forge across the street from his target. The remaining Infiltrators eventually cleared the ruins, but charged into a volley of fire from the entrenched Devastators, downing all but the Alpha.

The Librarian finished off the disgraced Sicarian with another beam as the remaining Tacticals formed up next to him and opened fire from the ornate windows, now chipped and splintered from crude solid-munition machine guns and Galvanic Rifles. The other Tactical Squad fired yet another ineffectual missile before the Dunecrawler fired again, forcing them down but unharmed. A lascannon beam finally downed the Dragoon running across the roof, sending it crashing through the durasteel plate.

Dominus Treides smashed through the weakened door of the barricaded building, Eradication Ray burning away the Librarian's torso as the corpse slumped down against his bike. The remaining Tactical attempted to flee as the plasma caliver followed suit, but barely made it past the edge of the ruin before the Skitarius fired.
The Apothecary, turning to meet the Techpriest in combat took a Power Axe swing to the torso, Narthecium swinging up instinctively to seal the worst of the damage before he collapsed, sys-an membrane taking effect.

Game 1 was a deep-striking Dreadnought roasting my entire PlasCal Skitarii unit and one of my Kataphron units running 12" off the board after losing 1 dude.

Game 2 was Tau hiding in the farthest corner on deployment out of reach and then jumping forward, also cleaning the PlasCal unit and a Kataphron unit and proceeding to outgun me from there.

Game 3 was Smashfucker Deathstar roasting the PlasCal unit with a Land Speeder and clearing one of my Kataphron units with a direct hit Orbital Strike.

Nobody had any real fun playing any of those matches because all of them were absolutely decided by turn 2 and I was lucky if I killed more than 2 units.

Heh, that luck. Reminds me of when a friend and I jumped on TTS to play eldar vs orks for shits and giggles. I managed to roll so bad and he lucked out with so many card draws for objectives that while I still managed to do more damage pointwise it was a complete tactical victory for the orks. I avoided scat bike spam but holy fuck I got pushed into a corner with his bikers and the tarpit game was real.

All in all it was pretty satisfying because the horrendous rolls turned it into a pretty interesting game. I just wish that I got actual useful objective cards that game. Fuck that card that requires holding literally every objective.

A lot of the imperium has high and low tech side-by-side. Knights are some of the most advanced warmachines produced by man, but they come from worlds which are distinctly medieval.

So maybe try to find ways to make your vehicles look like they are crewed by primitives rather than remove them altogether? Wooden pallisades for gun shields, lots of candles and torches, wooden barrels rather than fuel drums, that kind of thing. Maybe have them decorated with heraldic symbols. Steal some shields and accessories from fantasy kits.

Ended in an Admech victory by three points, thanks to the Rangers and Dunecrawler sitting on objectives all game, despite the Rangers killing literally one bike. Dominus was a star, tanked fucking everything even with Null Zone. I realize why Grav is so scary now, never really had to fight it in volume before.

I feel bad for the Missile Tactical. Got five consecutive hits and then failed pen rolls against AV12 and AV11, someone loaded his launcher with duds. He tanked two turns of Dunecrawler shooting (I need more of them if that's how they're going to perform consistently, what with the oneshotting 5 Sternguard and a Libby), and never missed a shot, so it's clearly not his fault.

>>53098521

Nah, just painted a cog on there messing about one day. He was my second model ever, so I didn't really know about basing them. When the whole army is done I'm going to base them all at once, but getting rid of all that ugly primer and plastic is first priority.

I had a really rough game as demons right before the 6th ed codex came out. It was a mirror match. My opponent wins the right to force me to go first (fuck), the wrong half of my army is forced to deploy first(fuck), my deepstrikes almost all scatter poorly with my opponent getting to choose where to place 2 units(fuck), since my opponent has 0 units on board my army does fuck all turn 1. Opponents turn 1 they get the right half of their army(fuck), none of their units scatter at all, and they alphastrike off everything but 2 squads.

T2 nothing of mine comes in, my units retreat and I have to pray my opponent whiffs on rolls to avoid getting tabled. My opponent gets the rest of his army in T2, I am reduced to a single Horror(T3 4++ model) who manages to pass like 4 saves in a row.

Game was basically over from there.

So guard are officially stuck. No reboot. Same characters. Only trying to retake cadia. I won't be too hyped for 8th until I see something promising about guard. Most rules actually fuck them over too. Only good rule is maybe falling back from CC to shoot.

nnnot exactly

Depends on the size of the release and the personal network of the blackshirt in question. This is a major release only a month out. It won't be long before some stores get their copies of shit to get ready before release.

And if they've got even a tangential connection to head office (and, you know, a good reputation for keeping their fuckin' mouths shut), they'll know this stuff months in advance.

We're assuming - hoping - that increased action on Armageddon that they're fluffing up means that we'll get some sort of release related to it. Supposedly, CSM are showing up to the fight, which means we're getting Angron. (Not sure who Margaret is, is that part of Ghazkull's name?) And in theory, that would be when we get our new Plastic IG.

AFAIK guard seem to benefit from the rules. Nu leadership skullfucks multiwound models but is otherwise old fearless and guard are W1. You get to leave combat and shoot so you can hose melee armies. Guard arent effected significantly by the loss of formations because they can take like 5x as many units as everyone else anyway. Guard vehicles MIGHT be worse off due to loss of AV but on the other hand you can't get exploded with like 5 meltaguns AND MCs have no way of killing even a single Leman Russ in combat, let alone a squad(Dreadnoughts are AV12 HP3 and got T7 W8, leman Russ are AV14)

Just assume for a moment that your tanks all got the statline of a dreadnought for defenses. You would actually be harder for an MC to kill that ever before

A daemon prince has what, 5 attacks? and he'll be wounding on 5s or worse and hitting on 3s so assuming he rolls perfectly it will take a minimum of 2 rounds of combat to kill a single vehicle.

"The mechanics are simple – any units that suffered casualties in a turn must take a Morale test at the end of it.

Initiative was essential for the glass cannony stuff. Now even a random guard sergeant has really good odds of killing a space marine sergeant or say - an eldar autarch(not that everyone didn't just take farseers anyway).

Despite the fact that this is bait, I'm still going to illuminate all the things wrong with it for people who are just joining us and have no idea what the rules in 8th are:

>Brings a Titan formation to a "narrative" game
Formations no longer exist, and narrative games don't mean "unbalanced games where you can do whatever you want", that's Open games

>Opponent sends fabious bile into combat with them
>he hits first due to assaulting
>hits
>wounds on 6+ (because everything can do that in 8th
We don't know everything Wounds on a 6+, it could be like SWA where you need to roll a 6 and then the 6's need a second roll of 4+ or more to stick.

>His weapon is Instant Death
No longer a thing, weapons can deal multiple Wounds per hit or even Mortal Wounds which ignore saves and don't need to roll to Wound, but you'll never be removing a 10+ Wounds model in one hit with anything.

>Remove other 2 Titans after failing battle shock
Not even remotely how battleshock works. Titans aren't going to be squadroned together and even if they were they're not going to have a Leadership lower than 7.

Keeper of Secrets do not have ASF in AoS, nor do any of the High-I characters I looked at. Yes they could/did have it, along with all Elves and Daemonettes in WHFB 8th.
it was completely removed from all units that had it.

>>53099082
Since the units with ASF don't have it in AoS it is unreasonable to assume that they will magically make ASL in 40k.

>>53099088
ASF does not exist on Daemons in AoS. you might have +1" charge but you will not be getting rules for that.

You further can't say that they will get different rules as the Daemons 6e/8e books literally made both rulesets identical until AoS gave them new profiles. That would be like saying that Iron Hands are going to have S5 T5 standard statlines. It makes literally 0 sense.

>Keeper of Secrets do not have ASF in AoS, nor do any of the High-I characters I looked at.
Didn't Slaanesh get squatted in AoS? In any case the article in the Fight phase literally stated KoS have a special rule to always hit first.

>it is unreasonable to assume that they will magically make ASL in 40k.
Not everything is being ported straight from sigmar and they already confirmed there is a penalty to using unwieldy weapons. Considering that fast weapons like Whips are said to have ASF then precedent is already there for slow heavy ones doing the opposite.

It says in the fight article they put out that slaanesh will get something that lets them strike first. I'm not speculating, I'm repeating what GW has actually said.

On facebook someone specifically asked them whether or not unwieldy weapons will be able to strike first and GW said there would be "some penalty" that they did not elaborate on.

Yeah, those two formations always seemed like some of the best uses of the entire Formation concept and the kind of things they are supposed to be used for. Really hope they'll offer some way to field units in a way that changes their play style and usage a lot like these did.
The main issue I always had with a majority of formations was that they didn't force you to use the units any different from what you normally do with them and just had you field stuff that played exactly the same as without the Formation but got free rules.

So basically Armless the Harmless with his Black Crusade:

>1st, Imperial pyrrhic victory
>2nd, Imperial victory
>3rd, Tactical Chaos defeat, strategic objective achieved. (We lost everything but lol secretive objective victory)
>4th, Imperial victory
>5th, Chaos victory (Only one)
>6th, Drecarth was betrayed (An entire crusade just to team kill his ally)
>7th, Eventual Chaos withdrawal. (Welcome to fanboy territory)
>8th, Abaddon gains Tzeentch's favor (In other words he sucked his dick like every chaos cumdumpester)
>9th, Chaos ravages a Sector. (Of civilian and poorly defended worlds, he had a hard time facing undefended and unarmed civilians)
>10th, Chaos retreat (not even lol secretive objective)
>11th, Chaos retreat, Ork victory. (Yes orks won a Black Crusade, suck it nids!)
>12th, Imperial Victory
>13th, Imperial Victory in space, Chaos foothold in Cadia.
>14th (13.5th Rewrite edition), Cadia destroyed.

Archaon was pretty cool in the old world, but he's lost all credibility now by turning into "OH SHIT THE WORLD BREAKER IS HERE AND HIS HORSE IS THREE DRAGONS NOW AND THE GODS PEE PEE IN THEIR PANTS WHEN HE LOOKS AT THEM"

Impossible to take seriously or care about.

Or how the Vindicare missed twice! At least say the Battlesuit was a different version and so the shot fell short of a kill. Not fucking missing the target twice! This fuckers are so OP regarding shooting that they can shoot down Eldar bikers without needing to look.

If you like jump units, assault all day, and hand flamers? Blood angels. They also have fast vehicles.

If you want a better chance to hit on overwatch and strong bikers that can bring in scatter-free terminators, Dark Angels. Be warned that they're the space marines with the lowest body-count, other than Grey Knights, because their focus is powered up versions of normal units at a scaled-up price.

>>53101283
Melee? They get the toughness bonus at a higher cost without the options of special weapons, and if they jink they're not gonna be good at shooting.

Drawbacks are cost, and customization, especially now that heavy weapons don't snap fire every time someone moves.

Special weapons aren't necessary, they wipe shit without them. Jink is broken and the 'drawback' of it doesn't come into play half the time due to the first turn rule.

They're way too strong for their costs and what they can do, and are completely unfun to fight. Ergo, I would like them removed or gutted.

Meh, it is for me. It's a fucking space marine on a bike, he doesn't stop being a space marine because he's sitting on something. Do you need a drawback when you buy a jump pack for a model? Hell, a bike is an option to throw on most generic HQ choices, it's not a different type of unit it's just an addon. It wouldn't make sense to take shit away when you're literally just plopping him down on a piece of equipment.
>>
>>53101390

Remove the Toughness improvement. There's honestly no reason why sitting on a motorbike should make you harder to wound. The increased movement and jink is enough to make them worth taking.
>>
>>53101390
No grav.

Gut jink.

Get rid of their ignore dangerous terrain. There is absolutely no reason for them to have it. If anything they should be effected by terrain MORE. (IE. Difficult becomes dangerous, they can't climb buildings, etc.)
>>
>>53101361

>>53101431
>no reason
You mean the fact that you're more likely to hit the bike itself than the marine at most angles?
>>
>>53101419
Because that equipment makes you faster on some terrain but less maneuverable on others. Infantry should have an intrinsic advantage over bikes in some situations and disadvantage in others, that creates varied play and counterplay.
>>
>>53101461
>You mean the fact that you're more likely to hit the bike itself than the marine at most angles?

Then give them +1 to armour saves when on a bike.

If any regiment were to get a full plastic line they'd likely have to have a more flexible aesthetic. One where, when they see it, don't automatically assume that Your Dudes are from an ice world, or a jungle world or a toxic hellhole etc

fluffwise supermarines have a precedence with corax during the horus heresy

anyway, narrative wise I believe it's soon going to be a non issue as space marines powerlevel vary so much that they can only be described in relative terms in the end and given how GW writings is pretty standardised as of now we'll soon start reading about super marines acting almost exactly like old marines with these just being noname chaffs more often

anything other than super marines wouldn't really fit with GW attempting a slow true scale conversion of the normal marines
>>
why come so many of the deathwatch models no longer avaliable? not just sold out, but they not gonna sell them anymore?
>>
>>53101497
Well that's not normal bikers, and I assume they're going to be cutting down on that since it's one of the most retarded things. I'll definitely say that skilled rider granting the bonus to the unit is dumb as fuck. I used that bonus and I'll agree it's fucking stupid. Following the leader doesn't mean you're guaranteed not to lose control in crumbling ruins. Also fuck building climbing, I get the fluffy idea of them ramping up there and it's hilarious and all but that's asking to lose control of your bike on a 2+
>>
>>53101419
The issue to me is that a bike is better for mobility than a jump pack, but also better for durability than terminator armor.

Why can a bike Jink when an Ork buggy can't? Why can't a jump unit capable of literal flight jink when a FMC can?

Part of me wants to have a Chimera with Veterans from Cadia, Preatoria, Mordia, Catachan, Valhalla and Steel Legion. You know the classic regiments.
>>
>>53101568

they should release plastic snap-fits for all the major regiments.

Wouldnt be too hard. Heck release them in box-sets against xenos or whatever if theyre worried they wont sell. If theyre done right they could also bring in weapon swaps and other cool stuff to add to the versatility of the kit.

As long as theres no goofy poses then they will blend together well and also allow for conversions if the player chooses to do so.

Snap-fit would also keep the cost down to produce which would be one thing that would stop individual regiments getting their own kits.
>>
>>53101638
Jump packs can't jink because it launches you in the air once when you move. It's not a jetpack. You don't actually have controlled flight. They do need to rebalance the points, though. I agree that bikes give you more than they should now, but we need rebalancing more than gutting.
>>
>>53101595

yeah honestly its in their name. They like to blitzkrieg the fuck out of people.

>>
>>53101809
>hate snap fit

Why? I thought Vedros sold well, and you'd think that people would like cheaper models considering all the bitching, especially with people who just want to game and would play grey tide.
>>
>>53101968
I'm an old fart, maybe 40kids like those now, but back then snap fit was not something you wanted unless your only goal was to have cheaper models. Which was not the case back then since the costed as much as the multi part kits.
>>
>>53101968
That's a starter set, not a full kit. Snapfit models mean less variance and less Your Dudes in an army.
>>
>>53102008
I agree with that personally. I'm just wondering why other people don't buy it up if they're just going to run grey tide anyway, and it's not like a lot of non-snap models aren't monopose anyway.
>>
>>53101712
>It's not actually controlled flight

Vespids, Scourges, Gargoyles, all sorts of Daemons.
>>
>>53102040
Forgot Seraphims, thanks to not being marines the jump pack can actually make them fly.
>>
>>53102080
That part doesn't matter, as unless it's part of their fluff the only way they could achieve true flight is the use of a jetpack.
>>
>>53102080
My point was more that there are a lot of jump infantry that don't have any sort of jump packs at all.

Either way, it makes far more sense for something that's flying in the air to be able to jink rather than a bike, a bike can move left and right. Something flying can move any number of directions.

So I'm looking to get around to painting my Skitarii now that I've finally got them primed; my FLGS has two hours of "Open Painting" on Wednesday evenings, so I'm considering going to that, but I'm not totally sure what that entails?

>>53102134
Probably a bunch of dudes sitting down for paint and banter. Harder to get distracted from painting when everyone else is painting around you.
>>
>>53102092
They can fly, but back in 2nd edition the concept of jetpacks like the Tau was not a thing.

Being jetpack or jetbikes rules wise would had made more sense from a fluff wise standpoint. Since the jumpack was intended to get into melee while Seraphims where harasser units never intended to get into melee.
If memory is correct they were the first unit with the concept of hit and run.
>>
>>53102040
However marine jump packs are explicitly not that. As for the jump shit that actually flies like scourges and vespids, yeah I'll agree that's a bit dumb.

Hopefully they find a way to balance things out better in 8th, I'm still hopeful for the price balancing even if the fluff is weird for some guys.

Hey 40kg.

So a friend of mine is really getting into 40k from Total War Warhammer and is in love with characters like Grimgor, Archaon, and Franz but says he thinks 40k's characters are all seemingly boring or too human-centric.

In the Blades of Damocles novel, by Phil Kelly, space marines with jump packs have dogfights with Tau jetfighter craft (And also a terminator sergant wielding a sword with a blade of plasma)

>>53102332
Vect is the most dark eldar of dark eldar, and they're already more mustache twirly assholes than anyone in chaos. Chaos is at least based on mortal desires, dark eldar decided that they'd be better at torture than the god they're hiding from, and that's how they stay alive. They literally absorb suffering from souls. Vect specifically rose from the rank of slave to leader of the entire faction by being more evil than anyone around him and keeping every base covered so no matter what, he wins.

I'd also suggest looking at some of the primarchs, since those are having some returns. Especially the traitors, they have a lot of fun stories. Farsight from the Tau is pretty much all of the personality you'll find from their race, so if he's into mechs and a rebel mini-empire there's that.
>>
So what exactly is the problem with Tzeentcg daemons? I fight them regularly and don't find them any worse than the other gods save perhaps Slaanesh who's a bit underwhelming mono.

Is it just summon spam or is it the reroll 1s? Or is it just horrors being the best troop choice in the game? My buddy doesn't own any blue horror models so we just use the pre-Magnus rules, but I've heard they're way too good.

Trying to decide on an HQ for this list, and much larger versions of it later on. I'd like to take a Techmarine to fix up the Razorbacks as needed, plus he can support the Knight that will be included in higher point games, or I could bring a Librarian, that's probably the better choice but I don't know how to build them well.
>>
>>53102512
It's either summon spam or Screamer Star. The latter is where there is one unit of screamers with heralds on discs in it that stack buffs and invulnerable save bonusses untill the whole unit has a 2++ invulnerable save, and since they're daemons of tzeentch and they re-roll saving rolls of one ... Nothing outside of a roll of 6 with a D weapon can kill them basically.

A question I always wondered about but never thought to ask. You know how the the Imperial Guard in the video games are always like "Surrender or you're going to face the Emperor's wrath" and all that. Well what would happen if a xenos race or a group of rebels actually surrendered? Like they arrive at a planet to bring it into compliance but it turns out the "rebellion" was actually from mass starvation due to a global famine. Or they encounter an Exodite world but all the Eldar are like yes okay we have no weapons we surrender like right off the bat.

Summary executions? Peaceful negotiations? Labor camps? Tribute demands? Steamroll with tanks and kill 'em all anyway?

>Summary executions? Peaceful negotiations? Labor camps? Tribute demands? Steamroll with tanks and kill 'em all anyway?

Those all sound like possibilities, I'd depend on the commander and the situation. We need this planet cleared out then we clear it out. If it's not strategically vital then maybe we don't want to piss off the craft worlds by slaughtering Exodite civilians.

I feel that in the case of xenos Imperial dogma will get the best of them and you'll end up with demolished cities that could have delivered good tithes if negotiated with. Thus most xenos won't surrender since its the same ether way.

With humans there would be an investigation/purges to insure that whatever caused the problem won't happen again. But as long as they fall in line there is no need for unnecessary bloodshed.

The worst thing is that they Flyrant isn't even overpowered considering the powerlevel of seventh, but nothing else besides the obvious cheese is getting hit.

That's people trying to abuse wording to get past the 3++, which is explicitly stated as not something you can do with Tzeentch's stuff. Rules lawyering about how it doesn't count if you try to put things in a certain order and claim that it's okay because Tzeentch's buff wasn't the last thing applied, even though it's contributing to a save it's not allowed to give.
>>53102512
Pink horror spam means that unless you're building to kill hordes and nothing else, you lose. The blue/brimstone horrors are what make them bullshit since you either wipe out the entirety of the pink horrors or you give them an extra psyker, and if any blue horrors die you give them another psyker, to the point where they pretty much own the map and you can't remove them fast enough to actually get to a point. All the while worrying about 20 psychic powers going off and stronger summons coming in.

Bullshit, it's got extremely high damage output and is nigh-immortal without specialised countermeasures.

Typically, because of the scattered nature of the imperium, the decision would fall to the local commander or planetary/system governor. Major deciding factors are the presence of inquisitors or lack thereof, presence of the ecclesiacy or lack thereof, presence of the xenos' parent faction or lack thereof, and presence of other, more dangerous mutual enemies...or lack thereof.

A Planetary Governor who orederd the massacre of Tau civilians might escalate a war that would draw imperial guard forces away from threats like chaos, for example, and get in more trouble for that than he would if he had made peace or out-and-out traded with the xenos.

On the other hand, failing to kill a surrendering Eldar force could get an imperial commander executed because of the large presence of Dark Eldar raiders in the area and not killing them means they'll just come back anyways (keep in mind it wouldn't matter which Eldar you killed, because the Imperium is too racist to normally tell the difference).

That's just people who never learned proper math or comprehensive reading. But that whole non-issue has literally nothing to with tzeentch daemon screamer star.

What you do to create a Screamer Star is take at least one herald of tzeentch, and give him the Grimoire of True Names. That artefact gives a unit of daemons a +2 bonus to their invulnerable saves on a roll of 3+, no limitations listed.
Then you take more heralds as an insurance to make sure you get that Divination power that gives one unit a 4++ invul. save and cast it on the unit of screamers with all the heralds in it. Boom 2++ rerollable invulnerable save. And at no point in that is there any Chaos Space Marine or Mark of Tzeentch involved.

Do what our Rogue Trader group did: The Ordo Xenos and our friendly neighborhood Magos Biologis each get a cargo vessel full of brand new specimens to do whatever they want with. All he asks in exchange is a humble petition for exclusive resupply rights for our Magos' Forge World, and that the Inquisition remember this favor at a later date.

Our RT has a near-irrational hate of Eldar, so trading them as slaves was actually an act of mercy for him

>Like they arrive at a planet to bring it into compliance but it turns out the "rebellion" was actually from mass starvation due to a global famine.

Executed. Oh the governor will probably be killed off quietly or removed from office some other way, but from the Imperium's point of view, mere global famine is no just cause to turn away from the Emperor's Light. There is NO just cause to turn away from the Emperor's Light.
>>

I think the implication was that 'rebellion' was just not paying the tithe.

What are the odds that regular Chaos Space Marines will get model updates so they don't look like shit anymore? I wanna get into 8th edition as Chaos but I don't wanna buy them ugly squatting fuckers when almost every other model in their range looks good.
>>
>>53100885
>>
>>53103568
Typically such cases are confined to the Governer/Planetary Leadership for their failure to provide what the imperium needs. The higher ups aren't so stupid as to kill starving civvies for not providing food if for no other reason than it serves no purpose and cripples the planet's ability to make food later.

That said, if a planet does take a position of open rebellion like the one in "Shadowsword", the imperium might make an example out of it. In that particular case the response was purposefully disproportionate because other systems were rebelling but not as openly, and the leaders believed they could scare the planets into obedience if they cracked down on the most vocal example.
