Warhammer 40,000 General Thread /40kg/

Here's a question: If models are in 8th 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?

>>53136865
Damn. I guess as it currently stands you can indeed get 3 shooting attacks by rapid firing a bolter and switching to a pistol within 12".

>>53136848

What do your parents/wife/normalfag friends/colleagues think of your 40k-related lifestyle?

Do they frown upon it? Do you keep it secret?

>>53136871
They might get btfo. Or they might get something else.

It does make some sense, that you can fire all your weapons at a target they have in range.

So bolters target one thing, and only one thing.
Flamers another single thing.
Etc.

So strictly speaking this might not be an end to the splitfire rule.

Most are pretty unfazed by it. Just typically doesn't interest them and segues into more mainstream stuff. Most people have experience with boardgames so they just see it as boardgame++. Probably helps that I'm a well adjusted human being.

Im thinking of getting back into table top. I have a old Farsight Enclave army, before they had their own book.

However, I just want to have fun, and not be competitive.

So I was wondering, how is a Gretchen themed army? Like Gretchen for troops, Grot Tank for elite, Grot Mega Tanks for fast, and I guess either kill kans with a dread, or big mek guns, and lastly a big mek(as otherwise I can't take the Grot tanks).

Would people be pissy since I would be using forge world models, or would it be accepted since their Gretchen, and chances are will end up blowing themselves up?

It might be different if it was super over the top, broken stuff, but I think you'll be fine.

>>53137118

Steel Legion 100%

They're focusing more and more on Armageddon, so fingers crossed for a proper army release coming up

I love the gas mask and chemical warfare vibe, and yeah Krieg has that too, but even if their models weren't so expensive their whole "soulless husks" vibe is hard to get into.

>>53137136
>Catachans
Nah, I'm honestly surprised they got a plastic kit. I never see them outside of a few conversions.
>Elysians
While I would be absolutely fucking ecstatic, they're not exactly a generic IG regiment. I doubt we'll see any regiment who's doctrine of war doesn't fit exactly to the Guard Codex.

>>53137106
Most folks seem to hate on fw for one of two reasons.
The cost.
The power creep.

The cost is a boohoo, cry some more issue for me.
At the moment, fw charges the exact same (high) price for orders from my country as they do for orders from the uk. gw on the other hand, charge close to double (after currency conversion) on some models, and always a sizeable bump, compared to what the same model costs in the U.K.
So fw to me are good guy gary. And gw are the scumbags.

The power level of forgeworld is another issue. In most cases however the points cost in part, and the unit type cover most of the OP nature of their models. Most. Not all. Something's are broken. But this is not limited to fw.
>grav spam. Eldar. Decurion. Formations in general.

Your local gw store might have issues with you playing their game with models they didn't sell you. But fuck'em it's their company bending them over.

I would be happy to play a grot army. Looks fun.

Cadian gear is mass-produced like fuckin crazy because it's effective.

Is there actually a reason for FW to be separate from GW since they're the same company?

Surely they could do plastic instead of resin just have everything be GW

Besides the obvious bait, nothing has changed really. Anything with a 5+ save was going to be in 4+ cover anyway, and anything with a 6+ save is down to a 5+ in cover, which means your bolters are better.

Thank you, I was just about to mention that. Bolters are totally fine and will fair better than say, Pulse Carbines, which now wound GEQ on a 3+ instead of a 2+.

>>53138018
>armor
knightly aegis armor > shitty marine armor
And I wasn't aware that Bikes were the equivalent of knightly steeds. Especially with no lances or anything else a knight on a steed would have.

>>53137989

I'm hopeful for 8e. The Skitarii have some great anti-vehicle weaponry, and in the age of unstoppable 80 wound land raiders they might end up becoming super duper useful.

Also word on the street is they'll be rolled in with cult mech (finally!! <3) so there'll be more options.

As far as money goes, Ad Mech is more expensive than space marines, but less than Sisters. It's about average for a 40k army. You can do what I did and cut down the money cost by inflating the point cost with special weapons. It'll make your army unwieldy and bloated to hell but it'll hit that 1500 sweet spot on a tighter budget.

>>53138012
>not caring about fluff and asthetics
no

>>53138048
Pulse carbines and pulse rifles can now be used to very very effectively mass fire on MCs and walkers. Yes sure they don't wound GEQ on 2+ but now they are wounding dread equivalents on a 5+. It's really not a bad trade-off if you ask me.

>>53138048
Pulse carbines do get the benefit of wounding 8-9 on 5's.

A full squad rapid firing takes a wound of a dreanought now, which is nice but it'll still mulch them in return and are much less effective at actually killing infantry.

It's 16$ flatrate for the entire order, but if you go over a certain amount the shipping is free. The cost formula he uses is this:

(Cost of Goods)*(Holiday Discount)*(special discount) + 16$ * 1.03(which is the paypal fee).

Holiday discount is 15% for Christmas orders, and there is also a 20% special discount for orders over 300%

>>53136936
this hobbyshaming thing again? who gives a shit what others think.

but ok here's my two cents

my mom does not like the cost and she's kinda christian, so i only show her pics of tanks and not to scary looking stuff but she's mostly impressed about the skill that goes into it. same for my dad when he was still alive, minus the christian bit

some of my coworkers know, if someone asks what my hobbies are i say 'playing witht toy soldiers wich i have to build and paint first' and then i show them some pics. some think it's wierd, others don't care and some ask for more pics from time to time because they like the models and want to see what i'm up to

all of my friends know because i have a display cabinet with warhamms and other wierd/wonderfull objects in my livingroom and most of the time half my desk is covered in painting/modelling related stuff, they see it as part of me i guess. it's come to a point where even my more normie (gods i hate that word) friends wander to the display cabinet to check if there's something new or comment on some wip project going on when they visit

gf/wive, i'm not a people shy authist but where can i get one of those?

tl;dr who gives a shit what others think about your hobbies

>>53138297
Yep. If you were to say order.. "10 Leviathan Dreadnoughts" around christmas time, you would only pay 200$. That same order from forgeworld would be 1200$.

>>53137131
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, because there's no other reason someone would pay a fortune for a resin model for similar or worse rules than what you can get in plastic at a GW shop.

>>53138290
yeah, but it ain't epic. No famous warrior ever used a warpick.

>>53138338
Famous warriors only ever used swords in stories and as sidearms

Anyone have that NuMarine scale picture?

>>53138356
Swords are the quintessential weapon of legend across cultures. From musashi to king arthur.

>>53138306

Maybe I'll order from him again around that time. My only order was mostly good, which included a $24 Avenger Strike Fighter. The Contemptor I ordered bad an unfixable mold slip and a miscast socket, and the arms for it are just as unusable. My favorite part about him is the fact he has little bits like possessed wings, old raptor packs, and molded bases.

I want a few seats of combi-weapons and Lascannons that are compatible with plastic HH models, and he's also one of the few who has them now. MI has the Lascannons (she's my favorite so far), but the only one I've seen with new styled combi is Alpharius.

And historically they've been "memes" since the invention of the bow.

Evidence shows that Japan's love of the Katana is not really well founded in history. It was a status symbol, but most samurai used bows or cavalry spears in actual battle, because they were professional soldiers.

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
The only part that's correct

>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.

>>53138447
the fuck is your point. We're talking about knights. Bows have nothing to do with it. I could continue on your retarded conversation and say bows are a meme too thanks to guns and so on. So stfu.

>>53138456
haha it took me an hour on reddit to find his info.

>>53138473
it was more the advancement of polearms that made swords impractical, not bows. Bows were SUPER fucking useful, but not that great when the enemy got to your archers.

Now spears, poleaxes, halberds, etc. THOSE were the quintessential weapon. Your sword was going to do jack shit against an opponent who could stab you way out of your own reach.

Does it ever say what Khorne does and does not count as sorcery?

A fried of mine was explaining the new Shadow Wars format and it sounds like something I'd really like to get into as a way into the hobby.

>But Knights were skilled with the longbow as all Englishmen were.
we all know the kind of knights we're thinking of here. besides bows were mainly for the dedicated archers.

>>53138494
i had never been to reddit before, and im older then most you kids and the layout confused and angered me

>>53138488
Angels of Death is true for every Astartes chapter, a dark past is not what angels are about, quite the opposite usually, since angels usually don't come from corrupted people but instead fall and then corrupt, having a bright past and those chaplains are nothing but overly aggressive, fear-mongering lunatics pulling more "muh heretic" excuses for doing dumb shit and killing people than even most Inquisitors can get away with.

Besides Guess which one of those practical weapons GK have and guess which ones DA don't have. One word. Halberds.

It was obnoxious to play it in person. On my first playthrough of that mission, I got to Stage 3 where it spawns Ronan Clones and HB Devastators, and I got a bug where the long-range units would get stuck behind the firewall and become invincible if my dudes were too close to the fires at the time of their spawning.

It made the mission totally unbeatable, and it forced me to restart fucking twice.

>>53138578
>>53138613

>>53138568

Yea, I really want to order from Alpha because he shit actually looks great AND he posts samples of each cast. As I said before, Z's biggest advantage for me is the fact that I can order stupid little bits like MKIV and V jump packs and Deldar Blasters. Sadly, I'm probably going to try and place another Z order just for little shit.

By definition a GK force halberd is not a hapberd due to the lack of an axe blade.

>>53138694
No. DOW2 Ret's final boss takes 3 hours to kill on the highest difficulty. This boss only takes like 5 minutes, it just requires more micromanagement than normies are used to. But it's still a bland and uninteresting tank&spank

>>53138717

>>53138707
>spear halberds
By definition a Halberd is a polearm consisting of an axe and spear combination. The closest thing to what the GK have are spears. So yes, the Japanese Naginata is like the GK Force Not-a-halberd.

But the Naginata was a woman's weapon. :^)

>>53138694
It's a generic Khorne demon that looks like Diablo and basically just flies around spewing fire, occasionally landing for you to DPS him and then flying off again, showing up all throughout the level ad you walk from arena to arena. Final phase is the generic "damage when possible, interrupt his healing, damage even more, repeat" procedure.

Is it true Dawn of War 3 says that Gorgutz won Soulstorm?

>>53138731

Gmail, yes. Not sure why I said hotmail. Alright thanks. Made a list of shit I want. Apparently he has old raptor packs for $1 each, which is awesome.

Why is it that every time I start working on one army, I get pulled into the other?

>>53139074
No, they're 200% gay in all aspects of life.

Since heavy weapons now just take a flat -1 to hit after moving, I think you are gonna be pretty happy, Anon.

>Gorgutz explains that all Orks aspire to be Big Boss

Are the Orks just trying to create a true Outer Heaven for all true soldiers of the battlefield?

>>53139213
You would be correct.

Nemesis Force Glaive sounds cooler to me AND it would be correct.

We need this.

How would you go about painting a Mad Max themed Dark Eldar army?

>>53139343
Lotsa flame decals, black metal and rust.

you aren't knights

you're satan worshipping homos

My roommate plays music and is heavily into the local hardcore music scene. He will never play 40K but likes the concept of miniature models (he expressed considering getting into model railroads as a kid) but thinks my minis are cool and likes checking out whatever new ones I get. He did mention wanting to paint one sometime after seeing a bunch of old models I was stripping.

Most of my other friends are active players or are at least into some sort of hobby.

Any of my coworkers who have found out have no idea what Warhammer 40K is and the quickest/easiest way I have found to describe it is that it's similar to chess but with hundreds of pieces on each side instead of just 24. The only reason they even know about it is I work mornings on a specific day every week so I can get out in time to head down to the LGS to get some games in.

I hide my powerlevel around women though.

>fellow DARK ANGELS player here, we're gay amirite?
You aren't convincing anyone.

>read CSM article on community site
>Dust off those Havoks!
>its been a long time since I've seen Havoks on the table

Wtf is this dude smoking? I've used AC Havoks in every single game I've played and they're frequently the best unit in my army.

I swear I've got 45 terminators, a terminator command squad with champion, apo, etc, etc

I've got every BL book about dark angels, the current codex and the last codex, but they're not knights.
