Has there been any leaks or rumour regarding plasma weapons in 8th? Is Gets Hot! still a thing or has it been changed to something less dangerous? With all the multi-wound weapons, changes to armour saves and models getting more wounds, one or two S7 AP-3 shots doesn't seem so powerful compared to the dangers of Gets Hot!

Is it me or do the new changes to the Orkanauts in 8th that we've seen thus far still fail to find them a place in your average Ork list compared to other things when you consider how they'll likely buff things like the Stompa, Deff Dreads and Killa Kans or even Ork infantry like Tank Bustas or artillery like Mek Gunz?

Well, the simple fact that they won't explode, they move a bit faster, and infantry can (probably) charge out of them will help.

At least now their large number of wounds will actually mean something.

>>53222076
It's listed as part of the Nurgle spectrum. So is fear.

>>53222208
That's a weird fucking assessment, since we don't know what an 8th Ork list looks like.

>>53222368

You need to not be playing Guard if you want the real MI. The real MI are hyper-elite hulking mechanized gorillas. Your best bet would be "counts as" Crisis Suits.

>>53222291
Assuming you are aiming for the ones from the Starship Troopers film, any mix of conscripts, infantry platoons, veteran squads, command squads and psykers you like. Special weapons are restricted to sniper rifles and maybe demolition charges, heavies I'm not sure... they had shoulder-launched nukes which doesn't seem to fit any 40k weapon (possibly represent them with a master of ordinance) and I think some kind of HMG (which could be heavy bolters or autocannons, I guess).

>>53222428

>>53222525

>>53222000
Who knows what mischief fleet 4 will be up to

>>53222408
Yep canonically by the book the Mobile Infantry use battlesuits about the size of crisis suits. I don't recall them having melee weapons on them either.

>>53222650
You might be able to use Sentinels for that well enough.

>>53222713
What about those Elysian Drop Sentinels? Those would probably fit the style well.

>>53222713
Nah not without some heavy conversion. The suits in the book fly and are pretty agile compared to the sentinel.

>>53222562
these don't look like a limited release. Its just an attempt to get a bigger foothold in Japan by partnering with a local company and imitating a style of mini thats popular there. I wouldn't expect them to get crazy expensive on ebay.

>Process them as fertilizer

So, kind of late to the party because I've been playing D&D all day, but some observations on the daemons faction focus...

Apparently GW are still being needlessly complex for the sake of 'flavour'; most of the god-specific bonuses seem like they would have been done better by simply increasing stats. Khorne are great in close combat? There are three different ways you could do that without needing to make a special rule. Nurgle are really hard to kill? Again, three different ways to do that with the basic statline, no need for extra rules.

It seems that USRs are really dead, which we kind of knew already. Curious how they will do the always strikes first thing without using them to resolve rules interaction.

Lord of change getting 16 W seems to imply that most monstrous creatures will get about triple their current wounds to compensate for most heavy weapons doing D3 or D6 damage now.

Fucking rending is still around, even though the new AP system is perfectly able to do the job. Again, needless complexity when you could just use the statline to represent it. More rules to forget.

Blue horrors use reinforcement points. Still not 100% clear if they are just for summoned units or all reinforcements (odd name if it's just for summoned stuff). Not convinced that the extra flexibility is better than just starting with more units, but we'll see.

It's not clear if the rundown of problems the current codex has at the beginning of these articles is meant to imply that they are going to fix them. Seems like they could be a bit more explicit about that, especially when it's not a question of nerfing stuff but just removing irritating shit like a dozen random tables to roll on.

Also, kind of hope that bunches of random tables might still be in the game as an optional thing. I think 7th edition actually did a pretty good job with things like maelstrom of war. Nothing wrong with a bit more detail if you can choose to ignore it.

>>53222940
Oh Ad-mech and their silly antics. Cogboys will be cogboys.

So Stratagems tomorrow. Are those the things you can use Command Points for or are they objective cards?

No vehicles except flyers in the first film. Not sure about the sequels, the cartoon and the various games. The flyers we see are distinctly not battlefield combat aircraft and are basically just used to get to the surface of the planets.

I think some of the later stuff introduced more elements from the book, notably battlesuits. Sentinels are about as close as you can get in the AM list. They lack the jump capabilities of the book suits and have less firepower, but the only thing in the game that even comes close are Tau battlesuits.

Heavy weapons squads seem like they would fit. I don't think we ever actually see a dedicated heavy weapons squad in the film, but they have HMGs and it isn't much of a stretch to say they could put those HMGs in a squad. We never really get a good idea of the unit structure anyway.

This is for you fucking faggots too lazy or shitty to paint

FOR THE LAZY FUCK WHO WANTS TO PRETEND HE TRIED AND WANTS IT TO BE "TABLETOP QUALITY"

WHAT YOU GODDAMN NEED

>your fucking brushes
>black primer
>like three goddamn paints, one for flesh if you need it, one metal for your weapons, and a color for clothes. More are preferred, but you're a lazy shitbag
>Army Painter dark tone quickshade or a wood varnish that you'll need to thin out with mineral spirits Miniwax works in my experience
>Matt Varnish for minis

Basecoat the model. (let it dry you stupid asshole)

Paint the frigging thing with your three/five pitiful colors. (let that goddamn dry)

Now dip the model into the quickshade you either made or bought, let most of it drip off, then shake the excess off (I personally wipe the models down with a sock or a rag or someshit) Just make sure there isn't excess shade on the model

Now it'll need to dry for a long while

Once it's dry, you might have enough of a brain to notice the model is way too shiny

Now you use the matt varnish

Let that dry (seriously if you fuck up at this point I don't even know why you're alive)

Congrats you have a mini/minis that don't look like fucking shit, or even worse are gray and just awful

>>53222650
I think they are a little smaller than Tau suits. I got the impression they are more like terminator sized, with the wearer's arms and legs inside the suit limbs.

Their firepower is way more than crisis suits have though. Their missile launchers can wreck the shit out of entire city blocks.

Don't remember if they mention melee weapons, but I seem to recall a 'knife beam' which was used for close-in work. Or was that in the forever war?

>>53223074

ALETERNATIVE GUIDE TO EVEN BIGGER LAZY ASSHOLES

LISTEN UP YOU FUCKING GITS I know for a fact that the guide presented by this RIGHTEOUS anon works for your lazy fucks, but some of you are SO FUCKING LAZY you don't even got "army painter" or "matt varnish".

SO HERE'S AN EVEN SIMPLER FUCKING GUIDE for your LAZY GODDAMN ASSHOLES

You'll need:
>Brushes, I mean come on
>black primer
>black and white paints
>3 goddamn paints

Basecoat the model (how hard can this fucking BE. Remember to thin your paints. yes, even for the basecoat.)
Let it dry (FUCKING WAIT)
Paint it with your colors (you fucker better thin your fucking paints. If it doesn't cover the basecoat, apply another layer. Thin your paints. It's not just a meme.)
Let it try (WAIT)


Ok NOW

>Mix some black paint to one of the paints you painted the model. DO NOT THIN YOUR PAINTS - Or add just a little bit of water. Some paints are fucking nasty and need some water, while others are a bit more water-ry. Either way, don't go over board with water here.
>Drybush that shit nigga (http://www.how-to-paint-miniatures.com/miniature_painting_drybrushing.html)
>LET IT DRY
(Alternatively, for very bright colors, you first mix it to be dark then use its regular pigmentation for the drybush. If you have something that is a bit too dark, mix it with white and use it's regular pigmentation for the drybush.)

There you go, now you know how to have passable shit and you didn't even need to google what the fuck an Army Painter is.

If you combine this tehcnique with what Original Angry Painter Anon said, congratulations you just become a painter, see you in a wip thread, fag.

We have no idea what will be viable because we haven't seen a whiff of points values yet for them. Even the sole points value we've seen (Tactical Marine) tells us nothing in isolation. If Gorkanauts right now cost 50 points, Orks would sweep tournaments. So really, until we have the rulebook in our hands, whilst it's fun to sling shit at each other about what will be viable or not, we honestly have no idea.

I also want initiative back.

Having the highest initiative as Eldar meant that nobody got to strike before my units, so I never had to think about that. But next edition I gotta watch out for being charged and be smart about which units in CC I gotta activate first, which is complete BS. Nobody should be allowed to strike before Eldar do.

There was only three contenders.

Seriously. Local hobby shop just told me to learn to drybrush 10 years ago, and most of my shit was passable. I drybrushed EVERYTHING.

>>53225205
I was hesitant at first as well, but honestly they're changing so many things that it's dumb to think of the change in terms of how things were.

Besides, the really fast things that rely on it (Daemonettes, Howling Banshees, most likely Wyches) seem to have some mechanic for striking first anyway, but that's as far as it should go.

Dedicated hyper-speed CC units always striking first is fine if that's their gimmick. Every single Elf, even those who are in heavy armor with bulky ranged weapons doing so isn't.

>>53224686
This is some good bait

>>53225311
I wasn't sure about it at first either, but then I realized that in order to win at close combat you now gotta think about charging and in which order your units make their CC attacks.

Now the only decisionmaking involved is picking units with either as high initiative as possible, or being resilient enough to survive untill it can strike, and which unit you want to charge first.

>>53225362
Yeah, the current system just has initiative as another stat that helps you kill things and not get killed in return in combat better.

With 8th, it makes charges more important, but adds in more potential counterplay and is gonna get rid of a lot of the annoying bits too it seems.

Personally, I'm excited for those Power Axe Slaanesh terminators I made when I was starting out to be less of a dumb idea.

>>53224802

I doubt it, if only because Assault weapons seem to still be a thing.

Blood Angels feel like they'll end up really nice though, with the changes to Flamers, Pistols seeming to be fewer points, and the rumored ability to charge out of transports due to their fast vehicles.

You might take a look at the Thousand Sons profile we saw for a Vague idea on what Grey Knights might be like, at least in terms of squad-level psykers

>>53225474
Being able to fire a hand flamer and/or an inferno pistol in close combat is also a huge bonus.

Blasting a hole through the chest of an enemy while assaulting is fucking cool and makes the Blood Angel exclusive weaponry finally worth taking over a regular flamer or meltagun.

>>53225535
Not only that, but from the last article we know Grav Pistols are 7 points, so the other options might end up similarly inexpensive.

I could see loading up on pistols being a very strong option for assault units and close range armies in general.

>>53223060
> not getting the orks

I'm genuinely surprised that GW did away with formations in 8th since they exist in AoS.

Not that I will miss them or anything, just surprised.

Then again, AoS as a ruleset is far less susceptible to WAAC faggotry.

Did we get an answer about units and characters being able to ride in transports together?

>imperial guardsmen not being scared
>ever

Friendly reminder that they're the only faction to have a dedicated unit whose only purpose is to shoot them when they try to run away, because it's such a constant. IG are the dregs of the 40k universe, and are to the Imperium as Orks are to Xenos. NPCs who exist to die in droves to make the real heroes look better.

So I have a stupid question that I'm sure got answered somewhere but I missed. If human emotions shape the warp and the creatures there, why don't positive emotions influence affect things over there more?

>>53225593
Faction-specific Detachments will be the new Formations. Just watch.

>>53225902
Because 99% of the galaxy is a horrible shitty violent traumatic place to live right now. The Imperium is the cruelest and most horrific totalitarian regime imaginable and casually commits atrocities on the daily that are worse than every horrible thing our real-life human civilizations have ever done combined.

>>53225902
Because negative emotions conveniently affect the warp more that positive emotions. Somehow.

>>53225879

>said the arrogant space marine too busy kissing his own ass to know how wrong he is on both of these statements.

>>53225902
Because the Chaos gods have amassed enough power that they drown out any positive aspects of the warp.

Theoretically, there are random minor warp entities of positive emotions, but those tend to be pretty small and are killed off on a regular basis even as new ones form, so none of them get a chance to really do anything.

>>53225902
Because the universe is fucked up. In old lore the Warp used to be more peaceful but because of the Necrons starting shit with the Old Ones it got all fucked up.

And then humans managed to form 3 out of the 4 main chaos gods all by themselves somehow.

>>53225985
>And then humans managed to form 3 out of the 4 main chaos gods all by themselves somehow.
I don't think this is still canon. That would be really fucking stupid if it is.

>>53225186
I just got featured on Warhammer's faction focus. I'm here to stay.

>>53225902
They do. Khorne represents honour, Nurgle represents life and hope as well as death and despair, Slaanesh represents passion and Tzeentch represents strategy and forward thinking.
It's just that the negative emotions are more common and overpowering.

>>53225902
>>53225985
Also, Chaos Gods feed off certain positive energies.
Ambition and Hope feed Tzeentch, and happiness is actually quite the fuel for Nurgle, since when you are feeling content and happy you tend to keep doing what you are doing AKA stagnate.

No, that's Tzeentch that represents hope and it's why he hurts Nurgle
Tzeentch wants hope because it brings change

>>53226805
most people use canned primers, but you can find them in a bottle, but i always assumed most people who use bottle primer have an airbrush. just can it and ignore that part, just dont soak your guy in spray. what are you painting? if its large enough, i use painters tape to mark off areas, so i prime, let dry, tape, and prime different color

>>53226833
Maybe. That would fit with the fact that Gravcannons must also be cheaper now for Multimelta to be the most expensive at 27.

Still, for it to be half the cost it was, it makes me feel as though pistols won't be nearly as expensive as they were.

Personally, I do really want to see some more specifics, since I'm torn on whether to give my Assault Sergeant a power weapon, or go balls to the wall and slap 2 Plasma pistols on him

>>53226857
I have a unit of 5 vanguard all with dual grav-pistols.

The idea was they deepstrike and kill something expensive. It rarely works but they look cool AF, and even opponents think it is a cool unit.

>>53223478
It's not that they fucked too much. It's just that they fucked weird. Like, really really weird.

>>53226878
I'd imagine they might be a lot better now if that's still an option, since that goes from 30 points worth of upgrade to 14.

I had the same idea once, but figured it was too crazy to actually do.

>>53226895

It would make zero sense for GW to hate on ANY army, and yet here we are.

The current grotesque state of balance isn't down to any master plan on the part of GW; it's purely a result of the individual likes and dislikes of the rules writers. If your army has a champion on the rules team, expect good rules. If you don't, then you get an Ork, Nid or CSM codex.

no one is perfect on their first model anon, its better then a lot of first timers, have you watched duncans videos on how to paint? they arent necessary, but watch how he thins his paints, he puts some paint on a pallet and dips his brush into water afew times. i know having to do multiple coats seems like a pain, but in the end it is worth the hassle.

also, you can totally just prime those shoulder pads seperate from the model white, and prime the model itself black

>>53227118
White shoulder pads are hard to do. I'm making my marines with them, and I found out quickly that you really don't want to use a lot of paint.

Hell, you don't even really want to go with white. I'm doing a thin basecoat of Rakarth Flesh, then going over that with Pallid Wych Flesh.

Your detailwork looks quite good though. My hands are a bit shaky, so I have trouble with eyes and fine lines.

>>53227118
What white are you using? Use celestra gray and then 2 thin coats of Ukthuan gray for white , the absolute white colors are for edge highlighting whites for the most part . Don't worry anon you'll get it eventually, we've all been shitty at painting before

>>53226805
use grey primer

>He cheats the whole game, pretending models are in range, not scattering deep strikers and store manager gets confused and states that instant death reduces fnp to a 6+ from a 5+

I did. Did alright too. First at my store got nabbed up by some cunt who brought in 18 (well painted) Deathwatch marines and for some unholy reason he had them all judged as independent characters, so he had close to 500pts with less than two squads of infantry.

>>53227118
I also thought the same when I fucked up my first Marine. Turns out, painting Marines is not for everyone, my Nurgle and Assassins look pretty cool while my Marines kinda suck.

>He just says "ok" and looks away, turns his back to me and goes back painting what i think were bangles
>Chat to other guys about 8th, shadow wars, for a bit, then find out the reason forgeworld it banned is because an ultramarines player kept bringing 3 levi dreads to games and people couldn't beat it, so the manager straight up banned forgeworld
As soon as I found that out I smiled, because I realised that the manager had basically been cucked by levi dreads, since apparently he himself was unable to beat them.
Fucking gw am I right?

>>53227180
this story is probably bullshit but t.b.h. I will literally never play at a GW store because they just sound obnoxious even when they're not being exaggerated. are there any stores that actually ban forgeworld? that is next level retarded. my army is composed of mostly GW bits but I have all kinds of shit from forgeworld pieces to 3rd party guns etc. forcing people to use boring vanilla bullshit is garbage for the hobby.

Fuck GW, instead of recommending magnets they still try to shove overpriced miniatures down peoples throat?
What happened to the ''New GW''?

>>53227118
white is the hardest color by far for new painters, it involves a process of painting various different colors and building up to white.

in fact I'm not even a newb but it's such a tedious and fuckup-prone color that I just spray a white prime and base coat on any model that will have large white parts, and then paint the rest, leaving the white revealed. then I paint washes into the recesses and touch up the white.

>>53227276
Magnetizing isn't exactly the simplest thing, especially if you're just starting out.

I'm more confused why they said 'yeah, riptides are cool' when it doesn't look like anyone mentioned Riptides.

GW is actually looking into magnets to sell (at undoubtedly unreasonable prices) though that was at least a year ago and nothing's changed since

>>53227426
Minis are decent, base looks like birdshit, or vomit.

>>53227410
The community there is considered extremely cancerous and unfunny, they often resort to circlejerking, dated humor and garbage politics to claim "upvotes" which are literally virtual internet points that amount to nothing, their moderators are all leftist shills, the entire site in general is full of leftist shills, the site layout is garbage, the average user age is around 16 and they push a forumfag mentality of collecting le ebic upvoats and becoming the user with the most upvoats.

>>53227413
Please return to reddit.

>>53227426
You really shouldn't texture paint the sides of the base. Aside from that, pretty basic, but fine.

The marines seem decent too. Clean and in the lines at least.

Come on man. What are you doing, dude?

>>53227435
How is that worse than... 14 troll pastas every general like clockwork, replying "4 U", "thing ur paints" "elfdar WAACfag" and other dank memes and dismissing argument by just replying "shill", "autist" or "gb2pol"?

Our cancer>Their cancer?

Fuck forum/board culture
Fuck cult of personality/anti personality hate Fuck forced memes.
Quality content is all that matters.

>>53227508
Speak english, reddit.

>>53227514
The problem is that they're literally stuck in the era of fucking image macros and rage comics. We're talking shit that's 10 years old. They have 0 quality content, the entire site is based around reposting shit from other sources. I'd rather take 100 bait pastas over that fucking garbage, at least bait pastas are usually humorous and inspire decent OC.

>>53227534
And making half the thread devolve into back and forth "go back to 1d4ddit" is better quality posts?

Just hide the posts and move on instead of shitting up the thread, there's enough shitposting right now as is.

>>53227544
The issue isn't that their memes are shit, it's that their memes are ancient stale rotten shit.

And it's their stupid upvoat mentality and their awful politics that make them really, really dislikable.

>>53227554
How does that change anything? You constantly whining about shit makes you pretty dislikable too.

>>53227563
>how does that change anything
Notice how we cycle through shit memes on a regular basis here? I2 doesn't happen anymore, it's old and outdated, it gets replaced by something equally stupid like Fabius Bile the Titan Killer. We don't stick to outdated garbage, we move on to something new, and do so regularly. There is no attempt to maintain a memetic status quo, because there is no status quo. On reddit however people refuse to move on from unfunny outdated shit. They fail to understand the concept of a tired joke. This is why they're so detestable. "Instructions unclear, got dick stuck in X" is fucking ancient, it's incredibly unfunny, it's been done to death. This is what people mean when they tell you to fuck off to reddit, it means your jokes are shit, they're old, they're stupid. No one wants to hear them.

>hurr durr no u!
Ok.

>>53227534
Well with danger of revealing my power level.
You're judging the entire board by their common layer or "/b/", would you want to see /tg/ judged by our /b/?

Some subs are quite good, bridging the gap between forum, wiki and semi-social media.
High quality tutorials, organised links and "generals" that aren't bait.

I'd fucking love to be able to just blanket filter repeat shitposters here, just persitent anonymized trips to trip up samefag spammers would be godsend.

> Store manager got fucked by 3 Leviathans
> Store manager is incapable of figuring out that all you need is competent anti-tank to counter a model that loses to a single immobilize result.
As someone who ordered 6 leviathans, this makes me chuckle. It's not like they're knights, 4 lascannons will EASILY disable a leviathan, or worse blow it up. Just bring 12 lascannons and you're good for dealing with 3 leviathans.. In fact, if you count the MANDATORY TECHMARINES needed to even bring 3 leviathans, your opponent has basically spent 1300 points on a measly 5 models, of which 3 are a 13/13/12 dreadnought.

The only thing that makes them really bad is when you pair them with the lucius pod, since it forces you to blow up the pod first. But at that point they're spending 390 points a model for the Leviathans, which is MORE THAN A KNIGHT. At the same time they're vastly less durable than a knight.

>>53227623
Some subs, yes, extremely small ones, are ok. The moment they hit 200-300 subs they immediately get flooded with the scum of the earth and turn to shit.

And I'm pretty sure /tg/ would benefit from /pol/ type unique IDs, as would many other boards.
