I kind of want to get into the game in the summer with the new edition, but I really don't like the modelling and painting, anything I make would look like crap.

>>53131738
So improve, practice makes the master. Just pick a main color for your army, buy a tamiya/army painter can of that color, spray it, paint some details in another color and wash it all.

Easy, simple and will look decent enough for your first models.

>>53131738

Everyones first models look like ass. Then you'll get better and better with each model and after a year or two you'll start to put out some pretty sick models on the table. This is a patient mans hobby anyway.

I love the lore, I spent my teenage years reading codexes my friend(who collected some models too and maybe he played too, I don't remember) bought. I like watching battle report videos online, I do enjoy dice-rolling stuff, and I feel like I should get into a hobby just to meet people.

How much is it to start from scratch? I was thinking I might pick up a battlesuit and a couple of Fire Warrior squads, but the cost of paints/tools/materials when I am starting from absolutely seems like a lot, with no guarantee I will enjoy it. I assume GW doesn't just let you to sit in the store and use their stuff to assemble/paint?
>>
>>53131879
>not wanting just a plain and neutral looking ant swarm.
>>
>>53131581
Pathfinders might be worth using as sniper units again. With the split fire thing you can markerlight one unit while the rail/ion rifles zap something else.
>>
>>53131660
Huh? Can't you just have two marines with HB and put them whereever you want? They may be better on the tacs, cause of their shorter range
>>
>>53131894
My manager was giving out a single snapfit marine plus small pot of paint to newbies a while ago, not sure if GW still does that but ask around.
>>
>>53131917
But then the squad markings on their shoulder pads wouldn't match.

I think I will stick with tacs though. Feels more beneficial there rather than trying to half kit out a dev squad
>>
>>53131894
> I assume GW doesn't just let you to sit in the store and use their stuff to assemble/paint?
I heard they allow this. My LGS is running a newbie evening once per week so you can pay few bucks and paint their shit.
>the cost of paints/tools/materials when I am starting from absolutely seems like a lot
I will say the same thing I'm saying to all newbies. The game is as expensive as you want it to be. The secret is to play with people as poor as you. Other players at my LGS are running huge-ass armies but I prefer to play with small armies (1000pts or kill team). You can start with buying a Start Collecting and few basic paints. Then you can go with Armoured Assault box. Meanwhile buy one or two more paints. In 2-3 months you will have a 1k pts army and nothing more to buy is needed. Where are you from?

Start from scratch? well the new army formats in 8th only list the need for a single HQ Unit and a single Troops Unit so basically any "Start Collecting!" box would work, if you like Tau they have one of the best SC! boxes because every Tau army needs both the suits and the firewarriors it comes with. which country are you in?

I'm from Ireland. There's a GW about 30 minutes away from me, and probably a few other hobby shops in the city. I've been lurking a few local forums too. I suppose the problem is I have literally no one I could go with, I don't have any friends right now, so I would have to go and try to get get info and talk and meet people to play with completely cold, and that's scaring me.

DESU the money isn't a huge problem, I have money, it's really the anxiety(what if I spend a bunch of money and then realise I hate it, or I(once again) fail to make any real connections or friends and stop forcing myself to go out to the shop) that's killing me.

See if they are running some kind of newbie-friendly event - I bet they are doint it. Then go and ask a stuff member to show you these funny plastic soldiers you want to spend your money on - they will be happy to milk your golden coins. If you will like it then ask on local game-group if someone have time to play few demo-matches with you. That's all mate. If you find out that it is something for you then buy Start Collecing for your favourite faction and have fun. You can also pick an Armoured Assault box but not every faction has one tho

no because slaanesh was squatted by the horned rat in AoS and will be squatted in 40k by ynnead. daily reminder that no, slaanesh is not "still in AoS", the trapping of slaanesh is clearly GW's way of sliding fantasy/40k's tits and hair metal past under the rug for more mainstream shekels and there will be no more new slaanesh models, there haven't been in literally years.

Do what I did when my previous friendships/regualar opponents fell appart. buy a few models and paints at the store and find out if and when their painting evening is. Got there every week and assemble and paint your minis while growing familiar with the locals. Find the WAACfag and play against him once your army is big enough. This should lead the way to play everybody else since he will recommend you.

There is no horned rat to replace Slaanesh in 40k, GW know they will be able to sell a Fulgrim Daemon primarch model and make loss of money anyway.

Can't perform two orders. Might change. And BID currently gives you Monster / Tank Hunter

>150 guardsman shoots 450 lasbolts, 337 hits.

150 is 15 squads of 10. Sergeants cannot have a Lasgun. (Currently) so only 420 shots. Which even if you're hitting on 4+ rerollable that's only 315. Aka not enough.

>150 guardsman costs 750 points.

Both, as equals.

The biggest issue i see is that if they were to bne seen as equals that implies isha is happy to be around nurgle . but then there is the theory the cage is less about keeping isha in and more keeping slannesh out.

So that's what this warband runs on
>>
>>53132768
I would argue that you hear little about them because they just got shit done. They didn't need the fanfare and ceremony of some of the other legions. They took one of the two spaceports available to Horus during the siege of Terra and cut his reinforcements by half and kept it. I'd really like to see more about them but I guess I have to agree that they are a bit obscure.

Alpha Legion best legion

Also, what do you think would be better?

1) Actually revealing theyr lore and secrets? (Like, who were Alpharion and Omegon, what they did and did not, what the legion used to do before knowing them, how they died in case they did etc)

2) Do not reveal them and remain a mystery and fabric of theories and secrecy?

Tau have the range and power to not stand next to each other and still blast enemies off the map, as well as the ability to have multiple firing lines. You don't have to have huge blobs of infantry getting tied down with every charge, with the new detachments you can shit out smaller units and whoever is in the front is a sacrifice for the greater good.

Something I noticed in the Morkanaut reveal; it hits on 3's at base. That possibly bodes well for Orks in melee, since the Orkanauts are both WS4 currently, just like all Orks. So that might mean that Orks hit on a 3+ in melee, with a 2+ for stuff like Ghaz and the Warboss (and maybe Nobz).

Nobz can get WS5 currently with a WAAAAGH banner. Could see them getting +1 to hit from having one in a unit.

I thought it was obvious, WS/BS: 4 is 3+, WS/BS: 3 is 4+, and so on. However it seems any score above WS/BS: 5 is just converted to 2+, as we can see with Guilliman.

yep. me and my m8 basically just had a thing in casual games where you could take almost anything you want, as long as you paid the points and it was WYSIWYG. and you could make up stuff and points cost it yourself if it was cool and we both agreed.

I had a khorne CSM army at the time and I made my havoc sergeant into an HQ with an old school "teeth of khorne" theme, his rules let me take one unit of havocs as troops as long as they had mark of khorne and replaced their bolters with autocannons, heavy bolters, or missile launchers only. he also let that unit reroll misses once per game and had some relic chainsword I came up with, I don't remember much about the details. fun times.

and we would generally let each other take illegal units like as long as you paid the points under the unit's listing for the extra stuff you took. that guy moved away though, was an alright chap.

Remember when Fab commanded the whole ECs and someone broke them by throwing a medium sized space ship on it?

Or when he tried to take that odd Craftworld with the biggest EC warband at that time? Where he only fielded several CSM warbands without special or heavy weapons and a bunch of noise marines and he only survived because the harlequin player wanted to forge the narrative?

I honestly like that idea. Like low leadership means they are too excited to follow orders and just want to kill something. Maybe taking casualties in the process.
>>
>>53133470
Rumours and speculation point towards melee weapons having a more aggressive rend value translation from their AP than shooting weapons.

For example Chainswords, which are AP -, will definitely be a Rend -1 at minimum, whereas Bolters being AP 5 become Rend 0.

Melee weapons have to jump through a lot of hoops to get in range so they get to fuck you up a lot better when they get there.

40 Plaguebearers + 6 Nurgling bases + 3 Plague Drones + 2 Heralds + 1 GUO = roughly 1000 points after factoring in typical upgrades. I may be remembering that wrong, but if I am it's still pretty close to that.

IMO, at 1000 points and below, everything but the GUO is just chaff and the GUO is hard to handle. They don't have enough points to comfortably deal with the rest of your daemons without letting your GUO close in, add Biomancy to the mix and you can take on most Space Marine lists.

Not really playable against Eldar and Tau, though. At least not if they're actually trying to win.

So, the 'infantry' preview showed us the new to-wound chart and that you no longer need to fire all weapons in a unit at the same target.

What does that have to do with infantry? They basically told us nothing specifically about infantry did they?
>>
>>53134373

Now that will kind of suck given melee was one of the good things Orkanauts had going for them.

Can think if even less reasons to take one now over more Deff Dreads and Killa Kans.

And since Destroyer is now only STR 10, AP1, I'm seeing even fewer reasons to take a Stompa.

They did.

There is stuff you just can’t do very well with vehicles, bikes and walkers, like hold ruins, use cover effectively and swarm the battlefield in numbers to claim every objective.

Infantry can hold shit other kinds of units can't and can make (better) use of cover.

Since Destroyer has been nerfed and Stomp is gone (someone correct me if I'm wrong), you can probably get away with doing that.

Not to say that further information won't discredit that as we learn more about 8th.
>>
>>53134615
It's a good desperate action you really couldn't do before, but the game probably won't have enough turns to actually stab a titan to death.

Thats what commisars are for. Give him an autocannon so he get all of them.

He can move out of combat, but there has to pysical place to do so and since he can't just phase through the guardsmen hes stuck in the middle.

Xenos inquisitors using xeno henchmen are considered radicals and frowned upon and suspected by their peers. It's like malleus inquisitors summoning daemons and using daemonhosts.

Allowed, but expect to be murdered by the first space marine chapter master you attempt to work with/order/accost/greet a friendly hello with. And by "murdered" I mean "mysteriously went missing in that ally way," "No sir, that inquisitor certainly never visited my ship," "Oh, he was killed by a stray ork bolt.

Here's the thing I'm concerned about ref. slugga boyz. The rules now state that units locked in melee can still use their pistols in the shooting phase. I had always considered the bonus attack that pistols gave in CC was to represent firing them at point blank range while fighting in hand-to-hand. Now they get their own *specific* shooting attack which suggests to the pessimist in me that they no longer give a bonus CC attack as this would basically be a pistol giving a model TWO extra attacks per tur.

Ork boyz trading a melee attack for a 5+ shooting attack is a very very bad trade. For space marines on the other hand it's a fantastic rule because they've always had a bolter *and* a bolt pistol, so they're essentially gaining a free attack while locked in combat.

I wouldn't say that's any more BTFO than any other infantry weapon. It's just that now it's actually that, an Infantry weapon.

Looks a bit plastic with their official GW board and official GW terrain in the official GW store but other than that it looks fine. I was expecting 3 unpainted riptides.

Everyone looks clean and has freshly washed clothes on.

Definitely not my local.

All of those could look good, but drab green and grey can be tricky to shade. I think grey is probably the best to complement red though.

It's taken a significantly greater relative loss in impact against T3 AS 5+ than the bolter.

Hah he took it seriously.

Whelp. I'm glad I entered this thread.

>>53135201
It get's even weirder when you look at units with plasma pistols or say striking scorpions who have pseudorending pistols. Giving 1/3 of melee attacks rending is a big buff
>>
>>53135114
They already have other color schemes for different forge worlds if you want to give those a look, sounds like you've only looked at Mars colors.
>>
>>53135577
Yeah specialist pistols got a LOT better for assault units. Flamer pistols are a thing aren't they?

I....Thank you. I haven't laughed that hard in months. That's fucking hilarious.

>>53135628
It's just weird having melee weapons be strictly worse than pistols on melee units.
Like I said about striking scorpions, the entire unit has S4 rending pistols but only melees as S4 AP6. So I basically wish the entire unit was dual-wielding pistols instead of wielding melee weapons?

OTOH celestians are super meta like that.

Comparing their free play picture to their matched play picture shows exactly how GW thinks about competitive 40k

Meanwhile, Seraphim come stock with TWO bolt pistols and can take a pair of melta or flamer pistols. Get fucked.
>>
>>53135738
Chill, we don't know the pistol or melee weapon profiles. Chainswords could be S+2 ap-2 for all we know.
>>
>>53135797
So you're like the Tau? One of their relics lets them use their meltagun in melee.
>>
>biggest tyranid will have over a dozen wounds
So nid MCs will be weak as fuck. morkanauts are at 18 wounds, knights errant at 20

he is when he is in the ice. But when you actually fight him he isn't nearly as big. Also why do these maps feel like starcraft floating islands. Literally no ruined buildings, craters, etc that make 40k landscapes.
>>
>>53135863
>what are point values

Come on m8. An ork army has 0-1 morkanauts on average. Nid armies have how many MCs?
>>
If Ork players aren't WAACfags, why did they stop playing just because they couldn't win top tables, and now they're salivating hard over 8th ed so they can WAAC their way again? Checkmate autists.
>>
>>53136326

>Also why do these maps feel like starcraft floating islands.

They kind of are to a degree aren't they?

That space port reminds me of the space platforms from Starcraft II. The planet in the back ground is kind of what sells it for me on that comparison in particular.
>>
>>53136347

I'm curious to see how Tyranid MCs stack up against Deff Dreads and Killa Kans now.

I remember a Deff Dread all but laughing at a Terivgon, Trygon, Tyrannofex and a lot of the other creatures in melee unless they got lucky on their smash roll.
>>
>>53136402
I think they will wound him a lot easier considering he will probs only be T7-8 as opposed to front armour 12
>>
>>53136402
I have a funny feeling that we'll just get more of the same, considering what they've revealed so far.
>>
>>53136436
Deff Dread is probably going to be a literal copypaste of the dreadnought statline, aside from BS, Leadership, and possibly movement if Orks end up slower.
>>
>>53135201
Here's a question: If models are now allowed to fire all of their weapons in one shooting phase, does that mean that when within 12" of the enemy can we rapid fire the bolter and then follow up with the pistol for 3 attacks per man?
>>
>>53135431
That's our store in a nutshell: Our Store manager paints the terrain from the stock when he has spare time.
>>
>>53136467
Which also means they will get a strength nerf like the morkanaut did, 10 down to 8. Deff dread is base strength 5 so I'm guessing it will get a stat buff but won't have (5x2) anymore.
>>
>>53136402
>not giving them crushing claws for +1S and Armourbane
For what purpose
>>
>>53136467
I'm hoping they do some serious MC rebalancing to fix that. As it stands a random Dreadnought has 2x as many wounds and higher toughness than a greater daemon which usually go for about 250 apiece whereas dreadnoughts come in at 120. Further, a KoS or Daemon prince can't rely on I9/10 or their absurdly high weaponskill to beat the dreadnought in cc. Since they made BS/WS flat values a BT won't be special for hitting everything on 3s or get 2+/2+ on his whip.
>>
>>53136527
It's basically garunteed that every single MC is getting more wounds to compensate for Damage being 1d6 from some weapons.
>>
>>53136502

>10 down to 8

Orkanauts have always been STR8.

That is, unless it's claw no longer confers any additional strength to it.
>>
>>53136527
A Bloodthirster I would easily expect to be 2+/3+, possibly even higher, and maybe even special rules to let it re roll or something. You could probably check AoS for an idea of what it'll have.

Plus, it'll be fast, so more likely to charge the dread first and tear it to bits
>>
>>53136563
Hopefully they do still get the bonus
>>
GW has said there's going to be no "faction only" detachments in the rulebook, but they've also said that Imperial Knights will still be a fully playable army at release.
How'd you like to see armies of only Stompas vs armies of Wraithknights?
>>
>>53136527
This: >>53136556
It's a whole new system so practically everything has to be tuned for it.
>>
>>53135833

No, they fight using 2 pistols and always have, and since pistols can be used in melee in 8th, they can melta/flamer in combat now. Hell, a lot of Sisters will be able to do that now. I might switch to a melta pistol on my canoness now.
>>
>>53136589

They will probably have a detachment that's only LoW and no command points or something.
