Well, you can do that on reddit instead, considering that's where your spammed meme comes from.
>>
>>53285819
I've read the whole thing, and it absolutely is. It may be one of the only books that didn't feature a token strong independent female character.

It takes place before the Newcrons, and yes, they are in this book. So they play the role of unknown horrors beyond the abilities of even Chaos. It actually has a surprisingly diverse amount of factions present. We see Imperial Guard, Mechanicus, Dark Eldar, Tyranids, and even Genestealer Cults. Not to mention Chaos. But mostly it's a story about a Host of Word Bearers going off on an epic quest that I won't spoil for you.

I will say this: Half the first book of the trilogy details the life of an average citizen starting from his daily commute and ending with him dying a cultist of the Word Bearers.

It was definitely one of the most memorable 40k books just because of how different it is.
>>
>>53285873
Explain.
>>
Does anyone else find the 40k M41 setting incredibly boring compared to the Horus Heresy? In 30k you have characters with goals and drives. There are interesting grudges. The legions have lots of character and variation beyond the one-note chapter caricatures. In 40k it's just a bunch of emotionless robots punching each other forever with no purpose. The Imperium never actually does anything.

they really don't

30k can be interesting for the pseudo-historical angle, but black library's been doing its best to ruin that. And as the imperial armour books have proven, you can just as easily get the same sort of appeal out of 40k.
>>
>>53285894
To attempt to take an objective view of the situation is impossible, both settings have merits.
Horus Heresy:
>Shows the backstory of Imperium which is pretty cool
>Has neat human tech and human subfactions
>The civil war itself is pretty cool
>More unified setting
40k
>More races than various flavour of space marines (no matter how diverse these flavours are, people want xenos)
>We already know how the horus heresy ended so for some people it seems pointless to play
>interactions between xenos, chaos and imperium is well done in some cases
>A more split up setting allows for more creativity in campaign creation, allies and "your dudes"

I mean both games seem pretty cool, it's just that 40k appeals to a wider audience since it has a wider variety of playable factions

It's not forced when it's a tradition dating back to before you were born.

>The poem was about resisting sin

It was about Johnson resisting his homo lust.

Surely you have proof of this? Did Johnson ever state that? It's never mentioned in the poem.

>>53285999
>u-ur underage!
Ok?
>i-it's about g-g-gays I-I swear!
You realize that pushing narratives doesn't work unless you have cold hard facts right? Once again, the poem never mentions homosexuality. It mentions resistance to sin, which can translate in the lore to resisting chaos
>m-my jokes a-are funny! u-ur gay!
Thank you for your intelligent contribution.

I've been thinking about the new big guys a bit, I really like the models but I think that the fluff need quite a bit of clarification. Like how and where were they trained? How are they distributed to the different chapters? How are they recieved by the chapters? How are the chapter masters told about them? How do the older space marines feel about this development?
>>
>>53286023

Nightlords Omnibus. Surprisingly, it's generally considered one of the good ones, or at least not as bad.
>>
>>53286023
The Night Lords trilogy was pretty readable to me, but if you're not a fan of that the new book Blood Tithe is selling like hot cakes, and having looked up who exactly the Carcharadons are, I'm convinced that this book is going to be good.
>>
>>53286020
Of course it's not in the fucking poem, it was written at a time when being gay would get you locked up you fucking moron.

Look, sure if you're actually autisitc that's fine, just don't have this conversation. Any time we're having to deal with metaphor or contextual cues is going to be difficult for you.
>>
So, I'm thinking about maybe converting my Black Templars a bit--just to drum up something new and interesting (to me anyways).

Is it so farfetched to say that the Black Templars might consider Primaris Space Marines as heretics--something like "not created in the vision of the Emperor" or "false sons of the Emperor"? Or maybe even consider Roboute Guilliman as a false idol or a usurper of the golden throne--what with how the lore seems to be going?

How would I go about portraying that on my Black Templars?

Any ideas?

I don't hate true scale marines and I'm even considering a couple boxes of them as allies for my Cadians. Don't kill me.

It opens up a fucking shitshow. There are going to be SUPER-Marines with the Red Thirst and Wulfen (which nearly had the entire planet destroyed because Dangles confused them with Chaos beasts).

Salamanders may start having bone growth like that one successor, Dangles may turn into renegade chaos pirates like Huron, and so on.

No not every piece of artwork by a gay person is about being gay, you know how we can tell? Fucking context

DARK Angel, with thine aching lust
To rid the world of penitence:
Malicious Angel, who still dost
My soul such subtile violence!

The first fucking stanza is literally spelling out the problem

>>53286118
The poem is well established as being about his struggle with being both gay and a catholic.

The commentary about possible autism comes from here:
>It's never mentioned in the poem.
which demonstrates a clear lack of understanding about how metaphor works, no understanding of the context of the poem and a difficulty with theory of mind (i.e: other people can and do think differently to me)
>>
>>53286146
This might be a hard load for you to swallow as a Dark Angel fan but swallow it you must.

I always figured it was more about the Lion personally than his entire chapter, his lust for power (specifically the title of warmaster) which contrasted with his loyalty to the Emperor.

Nah, it has plenty standing which is why it's such an old joke. It's not forced because it naturally recurs down the years when people recognize the origin of the Dark Angels.

It's one of the reasons I like Dark Angels so much, they've got a pretty consistent theme I can get behind with their Catholic trappings. Something that turns most people away after they read into it a little more. I also love how the Interrogator-Chaplains, with the exception of Asmodai who is actually fucking insane, are so filled with a desire to have the Fallen legitimately repent that they stop feeling hate or disgust but just genuine pity and something resembling love. They want them to find forgiveness in the eyes of The Lion, and doing so is considered their most important achievement.

>>53286300
I'm going to help you out here mate. If you stop replying to the joke, eventually they'll stop, they do it to get a rise out of Dark Angels players. It's only gotten worse since you started posting. It's the same shit as Furries and Space Wolves, or Blood Angels and their primarch being dead, or blood angels and their chapter being doomed (except this is true), or Ultramarines having a Codex compliant stick up their ass.

Which immediately marks you as the kind of insecure autist who can't make arguments with natural ease and is nervous they'll be challenged on their points if they don't present them in a formal manner. I see this shit all the time. It's sad. You're used to arguing with the kind of retards who will grammar nazi your arguments in lieu of having an actual response, and worse, you probably emulate those people, considering the academic air you try to bring to your speech and the implied sense of superiority you get from doing so. You care more about presentation than substance, which only convinces other autists who are rigidly locked into following certain "rules" of argumentation and immediately gives you away to the people who value substance over presentation - ie, the ones who actually know what the fuck they're talking about.

I'm doing you a favor here by pointing this out now, where you can't lose any face because we're all anon and this whole discussion will be forgotten about by everyone including me in a matter of days, but for you this is a good time to realize that coming off as an asshat when you talk isn't actually an advantage, it's feeding your emotional desire to feel superior while in fact making you look like a fool to anyone else who is actually intelligent you discourse with. You can be academically smart but it doesn't mean shit if you don't have the social intelligence to go with it.

This is totally unrelated to the whole "Dark Angels are gay hurrr" argument you and the other anon are having, I couldn't give two shits about the result of that.

I use both presentation and substance in my arguments. I have repeatedly proven my opponents wrong without resorting to obvious logical fallacies, and have not used any sort of pretentious superiority to attempt to portray myself as an authority figure. All of this is suspiciously enough created by you. I recommend you cease your baseless allegations before looking like an even bigger fool than the idiots attempting to justify their poor humor.

>and have not used any sort of pretentious superiority to attempt to portray myself as an authority figure
You are implying it by speaking in a pretentious manner. And yes, you are doing that, and no, you cannot argue that point because it's not up to you. If the people you're talking with say you come off as pretentious, then you do. Period. Whether you agree with them or not, whether they're even "objectively right" or not, doesn't matter. Results matter. The impression the other party gets, matters. You can't just win arguments by being right, you win them by making the other side believe you're right. Not taking this into account, and stubbornly going on with the way you're doing things - that's textbook autism. You can still correct this behaviour.

Rant over. Have a good day, I mean that not sarcastically or anything.

You're totally fine with doing what you want, and a fluff reason to justify it only makes it better, they are 'Your Dudes' after all.

fuck drew carey the deep strike rules are out too
>>
>>53286988
Key take-sways:
-Poison is still a thing
-Vehicle melee weapons are a thing, and the one shown indicates they'll be fairly strong
-You can only fire pistols out of open-topped vehicles when that vehicle is in melee
-Some melee units will have ways to make it more difficult for opponent to leave melee
-DEldar melee weapons love their rending
>>
>>53286988
>>53286989
>You can have a dark lance, which will give you serious punch to open other people’s transports or take down large creatures with a strength of 8, an AP of -4 and D6 damage. Or you can go with the disintegrator cannon, which has three shots that all do 2 damage at AP -3.


>They have a klaive that hits at +1 Strength and AP -3… yikes that’s going to hurt! The leader of a unit is a beast as well, gaining +2 damage if he rolls a 6 to wound.

>Wyches will be seen in greater numbers too. Honestly, this might be one of the top 3 most improved units in all of the new edition! They get the 4+ invulnerable save in the Fight phase, just like before, and can now dish out some damage in combat. Their hydra gauntlets and razorflails are fantastic, giving their attacks -1 AP. But their real talent is in the No Escape special rule.
>>
>>53286988
>>53286989

No clue on how poison works which is a bit disappointing.

Also, I was always under the impression that the reason wyches sucked was from getting torn up from overwatch, and they haven't gained anything to mitigate that.

Vehicles could always get assaulted, they can also leave whenever they want, like they always could.

>>53286957
It does look a worryingly lot like the Lion's shoulder.

Must still be far, far off, though. They haven't even officially announced Mortarion coming with Deathguard and that's still over a month away.
>>
>>53287000
Key take-aways:
-Units can only start in reserve if they have a rule that says they can
-No universal rules like DS, but some common themes like minimum 9" distance from enemy units
-No more than half your units can start in reserves
-Any units not on field by end of turn 3 are destroyed
-Can charge straight out of DS, but the 9" distance on 2d6 makes that risky
-Tervigon can bring another unit with it when it enters
>>
>>53286997
Pretty sure most vehicles will have a rule like Fly or Walking Battleship that lets them move out of combat and still fire.

>>
completely removing universal special rules feels really regressive. I remember 3rd edition having an issue where many units had basically the exact same special rules for certain things, but because they were all called different shit you repeatedly had to explain rules to your opponent. And more than that some units and weapons had slight variations that seemed the same but actually behaved differently.

It was annoying and universal special rules fixed that and improved the flow of the game, but GW seem to have forgotten the problem that USRs fixed.
>>
>>53287010
It's not like they have shown the datasheet for the Wyches

Maybe now they have a 5+ that with the new rules would already make them much more resistant to overwatch then now
>>
>>53287032
Maybe just HH Lion.
>>
>>53287029
Its possible, but I wouldn't count on it. Special abilities are no longer universal and "no escape" seems to be a rule resulting from the wyches' shardnets.

ofcourse but they didn't count as locked in combat in any way , especially not the passangers
this seems to imply that will change, after all if the vehicle could just drive out/trough as it could before , then why mention the passangers can still only fire their pistols
>>
>>53287014
How do daemons still seem broken? They have to set aside rolls for reserves, and that includes having pink horrors split off. Literally no free models anymore.

There's also the changes to reserves which let people appear 9" away and get to charge on the turn they arrive, and rerolls from command points. And the no escape rule that lets some units lock down crisis suits and shit like that.
>>
>>53286350
I can confidently confirm, that you never owned the right to decree what is funny and what isn't.

>>53285714

>Also, I was always under the impression that the reason wyches sucked was from getting torn up from overwatch, and they haven't gained anything to mitigate that.

Hopefully incubii will be tough enough to get into melee, so you tie up their overwatch with that, then don't let em escape with the wyches.
>>
>>53287092
Your reasoning skills are fucking abysmal.
>>
So, no reserve rolls anymore? I hope officers of the fleet still do something. I love those guys.

Deep strike seems way more reliable. No rolls to see when you come on, no rolls to scatter, just turn up and lay into the enemy. Hope outflanking is equally good.

Wonder if ongoing reserves are still a thing, or if flyers don't have to worry about leaving the table anymore?
>>
test
>>
>>53287079
That issue is lessened by having the rules always be right on each datasheet. As long as you have copies of the relevant datasheet, referencing them is very fast and easy for you and your opponent.

>>53287129
>Deep strike seems way more reliable. No rolls to see when you come on, no rolls to scatter, just turn up and lay into the enemy. Hope outflanking is equally good.
Those are the rules for the Trygon, for other units they have confirmed it may be different

It only became an issue in late 3rd edition when the rules were scattered between 5 fucking books.

I'm doubtful any of those core concepts will be different. There's no scatter dice so that won't happen. Maybe something will have to roll to come in but I doubt that too.

They say in the article the Trygon's rules are common. I expect minimum distances from the enemy to be different as well as what you can do after deploying.

You can, but they have 8" range and most (read: probably almost all) deep striking units need to come in 9" away, and its at the end of the Movement phase so they don't get to move after.

>>53287079

Hopefully they'll at least all be the same special rule with just a different name. That way you can at least say "My unit's special rule X does the exact same thing as your unit's special rule Y"

This. It was inevitable ever since the Chapterhouse incident. I don't even mind it as long as the names are cool. Adeptus Astartes sounds infinitely better than Space Marines, for example.

Either that's for simple fluff reasons and to make things more "My dudes" or they'll actually go the Chapter Tactics way for every faction.

>>
Reading the deldar article...

Fixed damage values are a thing. Cutting down on dice rolling is welcome, especially with multi-shot weapons. Not clear why some weapons get random and some get fixed though. Disintegrator cannons have 3 shots and damage 2, battle cannons have D6 shots and damage D3. Why not the same for both?

Invulnerable saves representing dodges is still with us. I'm not a fan. If you're going to have to hit modifiers, fucking well use them for stuff like that. Especially since they are much more balanced for close combat than shooting (since you generally have options to avoid close combat).

Rolling-off is a thing. Completely stupid if you are aiming to speed up play. Just have the effect happen on a 4+.

It's not clear if poison has rules anymore or if it is simply fluff. Given how fucking illogical the old poison rules were, I'm happy for them to just not exist.

The point is that it's in brackets. If it lets you select a different Hive Fleet, then there must be a mechanical difference separating them.

We already pretty much know that Space Marines get their Chapter Tactics based on which <CHAPTER> they select, and Traitor Legions will probably be the same with <LEGION>.

I think they're doing this for every race. Guard will get <REGIMENT>, Orks will get <KLAN>, Aeldari will get <CRAFTWORLD>, and so on.

Except in AoS it mostly translates to "this factions heavy guys get a 4+ save but reroll 1's, this factions heavy guys get a 4+ save but also get a 5+ save against mortal wounds" etc which isn't really unintuitive since it tends to stay consistent across a whole faction
>>
>>53287365
>Just have the effect happen on a 4+.
It's a roll-off so both players can spend CP to re-roll, instead of just one.
>>
>>53287377
Any normal 5 dude squad with Rapid fire weapons.

Yes it was just. 6+ but it will happen eventually that everyone hits and wounds to death the bitches
>>
So, I've just finished reading Legion

And I really enjoyed it, probably the best HH novel and BL novel I've read so far.
>>
>>53287365
Yeah, it actually would have been kind of neat for Wyches to just give the enemy a -2 hit modifier in melee or something instead. Wouldn't mind a -1 against shooting either.

Only reason to keep the invuln would be to have it work against overwatch, but they didn't even do that
>>
>>53287381
He's talking about damage, not hits.
>>
>>53287313
I really hope so.
I like the different flavour for em, and it's great for going fluffy, especially if they're right about no trap unit options.
>>
>>53287384
Since when do SoB deep strike?
>>
>>53287377
Dark Eldar are already getting decimated by overwatch in this edition, it can only get worse. They're just that fragile.

Oh and flamers are going to do the full amount of random auto-hits next edition, rather than D3, which was already something that the fragile DE melee units can't handle.
>>
>>53287365
The idea is that blast or template weapons get a randoom number of shots to simulate the area of effect. The disintegrator cannon doesn't as it is a rapid fire weapon and thus has a set number of shots defined by some interpretation of rate of fire.

Hopefully it will work like the sky ports for Kharadron Overlords in AoS: there'll be a number of named chapters/septs/hivefleets etc. with their own special rules, but then there will also be a way to make your own chapter with its own rules.

>>
>>53287166

Yes and if you have 8 units total (remember vehicles and characters are entire units now) you could even deep strike all of them
>>
>>53287405
Yeah. Flamers seem impossible to assault for anything short of terminators, and Deldar don't really have that option
>>
>>53287377
With T3 and a 6+ save? Anything with a flamer or rapid fire.
>>
>>53287032
Is there actually any official artwork of Lion El'Jonson where he has a lion as his livery?

>>53287427
wrong
that's just moving and shooting heavy weapons NOT overwatch.
>>
>>53287413
The Melta and Flamers haven't nerfed
However now most unit will have to deepstrike 9" or more away from any enemy unit, without being able to move after arriving, which mean that they will be outside of short range for the melta and completely outside of range for the flamer
>>
>>53287384

Where you taking Valkyries with your SoBs or what?

You can still pile out of your rhino and barbecue someone like normal
>>
>>53287166
Have to wait for the full rules, but at the moment it seems that all of what used to be independent characters are units in their own right, as are dedicated transports and possibly some things which used to be unit leaders or upgrades (drones are a separate unit to their controller, grots are a separate unit to their runtherd, etc).

With deep-strike needing to be 9" from the enemy, I wonder how hard it will be to just deny the table to them? You can exclude about 2 square feet with one model and a typical table is 24-32 square feet. So a dozen units on the board could mean literally nowhere to come in.
>>
>>53287384
Seraphim seem like they'll be baller with the new pistol rules. 2 S4 and 1 S3 attack in melee. Hand flamers in melee.

Multi-Melta and Heavy Bolter girls seem like they may be good again as well. Also battleshock seems really good for SoB since they're durable without being super elite. I'm pretty bullish on their prospects.
>>
>>53287451
10 man bolter squad rapid-firing on Overwatch kills 2 Wyches. That's assuming they don't get some sort of other protection.
>>
>>53287396
I really liked Legion.
It was a good read, I liked Grammaticus, I wanted to know the story, the side characters were interesting etc.

Then I went on to read Battle for the Abyss, which ended at readable, and started far below that.
>>
>>53287458
short range isn't that big of a deal for meltas anymore as it's just a reroll on their d6 damage now
flamers being out of range is an issue though
>>
>>53287427

Average, dumb /40kg/ poster. Can't fucking read anything correctly and then acts like the sky is falling
>>
>>53287471
and in this edition they get their save, as paltry as it is.
>>
>>53287468
>So a dozen units on the board could mean literally nowhere to come in.
They can't deploy everything wherever they want, and if they're that close to the half of your army that started on the board just turn 1 charge.
>>
>>53287485
I did include that in the math. It brought them down from 2.22 casualties to 1.85.
>>
>>53287477
I have not done the calculation, but I think it's not a reroll, slightly better than that
Throwing two dices at the same time mean that you choose the best one among them, while with a reroll you risk that the rerolled die is lower than the first one
>>
>>53287464
>>53287403
What are Seraphims and New/Old Celestine?
And yes I some times deepstriked Melta Dominions from Valks.

Hell I even deepstrike Acolyte squads with flamers from Valks it was fucking glorious when it worked! 3 Flamer Templates covering everything was magnificent the closer you ever get to the face of god
>>
>>53287499
ah, you just rounded up, figured as much. I know a 6+ is piratically nothing, but hell it's better than having no save at all.
>>
>>53287458
that doesn't seem like the worst thing.
at least for sisters (I don't remember them having the ability to deep strike squads that would really be affected by this)
>>
>>53287427
No. You're confusing that with the new "moving and firing" -1 to Hit. OW is still 6+.

>>53287470
My years old tactic was to give two set of hand flamers and deepstrike next to an enemy unit.
4 S3 shred template shots pretty much murder anything that didn't had re-roll save bullshit.

Now I can't deepstrike that with hand flamers being 6" and DS minimum 9"

It's starting to look like nothing is really going to change next edition : Assault is still unviable, Eldar still get all the best rules, Tau still gun you down before you can do anything.

In the good old eye or any of the new fancy warpstorms some low level bloodletter may appear to collect the skull you offered, and yours aswell if they are in a bad mood, they always are.
>>
>>53287585
He is somewhat right. But then again GW would not say. "We nerf Eldar and Tau to the ground! Buy Orruks™"
>>
>>53287566
No it's pretty huge, because apart from bumping up the average, it greatly reduces the chance of the lower rolls while increasing the chance of the higher rolls, instead of working on a bell curve.

For example, with a re-roll, you never want to re-roll a 4 or higher unless you NEED a higher result to succeed at something, because the odds of getting a higher number are lower than getting a lower number. With rolling two and picking the highest, however, there is never a drawback to that second roll. Your chances of getting a 6 are 11/36 (almost 1/3) while your chances of getting a 1 are 1/36 - compare to the re-roll method which is 9/36 or 1/4 chance to get 6 and 3/36 or 1/12 to get a 1.

Alright, but it sure makes sense to hinder meltas. Not letting everybody one shoot big tanks out of deep strike is a goal of the new edition after all.

What were you even deepstriking anyway? If you're running pure sisters then deepstriking changes will have basically no effect.
>>
>>53287377
By the time they get into charge range, an ork or dark eldar unit is often just a couple of models.

>>

Very interested in all armies apparently getting subfactions, although not sure how much demand there was for that outside of guard regiments and ork clans. Really hope they let you build your own. Just looked at the sky dwarves rules from AoS and that approach seems pretty good; do one of the big six and get three fixed advantages and one of your choice, or make your own and get three advantages of your choice.
>>
>>53287719
Oh yeah I wasn't commenting on the deep strike limitations at all, I'm fine with that. Just clarifying some math to how roll2droplowest is quite a bit better than a re-roll.
>>
>>53287520

With a probable 24 wounds and a 4+ invul in front arc, the way multiwound guns are looking knights look like they'll be plenty tough although it looks like everyone will have plenty of multiwound guns to damage them with

Their biggest nerf is that STR D is completely gone and blast weapons look like shit.

Even if their sword is STR 16 damage d6 they won't even be all that capable of killing each other very well, let alone mass infantry.

I play orks rather than dark eldar, but I frequently have to make a charge with a unit of two models because all the rest got killed by shooting.
>>
>>53285714
So, question: Why the fuck are people flipping their shit over the Primaris Marines? I just don't get it. They're just Space Marines, but bigger.

Model wise, it's obvious that Marines were gonna get new shit. It's a time honored tradition of 40k to have new marines for the starter:
2nd Edition: Marines vs Orkz
3rd Edition: Black Templar vs Dark Eldar
Battle for Macragge: Marines vs Tyranids
Battle for Black Reach: Marines vs Orkz
Dark Vengeance: Marines vs Chaos

So, keeping that in mind, why are you all freaking out model wise? You weren't going to be getting anything else, just be happy that your getting truescale/Death Guard for once.

Lore wise, Primaris Marines are just another kind of Archeotech that has been held in reserve by the Ad Mech, and have been in developement hell. The only reason they're coming out now is because Roboute is no longer a corpse, so not only can he personally lend his help, but also his genetics/geneseed. Corvus Corax and Fabius Bile have already shown that superior marines are entirely capable without The Emperor, nor Chaos.

Stat wise, Primaris marines are barely better than regular marines, only having a better gun, and another attack, at the cost of loosing special weapons and other upgrades.

Finally, model-wise, they are a way to put in better marine models, while not invalidating the old line.

Plus, it gives arise to new tensions: their relationship to old marines, their accompanyment to the Imperial guard, their actual loyalties, their inexperience in the galaxy, and their reactions to the other chapters/factions.

>>53287787
Because grognards hate new things and think that old marines become outdated thunder warriors while they most certainly just make upgrade for them.
>>
>>53287765

Possible, it could be that every hit with the chainsword does D6 mortal wounds. Even that won't chew through another knight very quickly.

This is what people seem most concerned with, that their old marines will eventually get replaced one way or another
>>
>>53287826
Everyone has to deal with old models getting replaced, why should marines be special?

Do you know how many times I've replaced my Zoanthropes with a new kit because they kept making them better?
>>
What kind be of bonuses do you think different regiments will get?
Cadians don't take battleshock in ruins, or perhaps preferred enemy chaos?
Armageddon Legionaries have faster Chimeras?
Mordians stealing the old Armored Sheild platoon bonus?

What else that I can't think of?

I've seen spiky Johnson but I don't think it's an official artwork is it?
>>
>>53287787
Huh? I have seen mostly positive responses model wise. Some mockery about their fluff sure but nobody burned his whole Ultramarines Chapter down yet so things arent that grim it seems.
>>
>>53287841
Catachans will get something similar to GSC Cult Ambush, maybe poisoned melee weapons, ignore dangerous terrain?
>>
>>53287826
So play with your old models. Marines have gotten better looking all the time. Don't hold everyone back because you're a bitter faggot.
>>
>>53287787
Its the lore that retarded. If the models bonuses were from new tech Id be fine with it. Having them be marines but betterer is just retarded.
>>
>>53287837
Did the new versions of zoanthropes get their own rules each time, and exist alongside the old ones untill those were fully replaced ?
>>
>>53287787
I'm not one of those freaking out, but there's some holes in your statements

>They're just Space Marines, but bigger.
>Stat wise, Primaris marines are barely better than regular marines
First part of the problem, they're plane boring and unnecessary as a whole new thing in the fluff.

>Lore wise, Primaris Marines are just another kind of Archeotech that has been held in reserve by the Ad Mech
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Not archeotech since it was ordered by guilliman during the heresy.
Also not held by the Admech, just a single magos, somehow he managed to keep all of it secret.

>The only reason they're coming out now is because Roboute is no longer a corpse
Which is super weird since the imperium totally hasn't faced events where it might have been a good time to let them out.

>so not only can he personally lend his help, but also his genetics/geneseed
They're using all the geneseed from different chapters, and they were made before he woke, so can't have used his.

>Corvus Corax and Fabius Bile have already shown that superior marines are entirely capable without The Emperor, nor Chaos.
Corax literally got help from the Emperor, and Bill has been building on-top of the marines, not creating something basicly from scratch.

>Finally, model-wise, they are a way to put in better marine models, while not invalidating the old line.
Could literally have been an upgrade kit with no trouble.

>Plus, it gives arise to new tensions
True, i'll give you that one, but we'll have to see how much they actually follow up on this.
>>
>>53287871
I agree the lore for Chadmarines is mentally retarded.
The models on themself look good. Might grab a kit just to paint them. Rules wise they look decent and not really broken, but I'll have to see the rest of the armies to decide.
>>
>>53287837
Are you implying that the original Zoanthrope is not the best?
>>
>>53287871
>Having them be marines but betterer is just retarded
Why? It's established that technology exists to make marines more powerful. Why wouldn't the Imperium use it?
>>
>>53287903
Id love to see old models with new technology.
>>
>>53287883
Nope, the latest ones got new rules that were mandatory and weren't even included in our Codex so we literally had an illegal entry in our fucking rulebook and needed a $70 supplement for the new ones.

You're bitching about something that is literally better for you than if they just straight up replaced them, get fucked.
>>
>>53287787
While I've ended up rather liking the models, I think the lore is a bit slap-dash in how they put it together. Everybody's jaded enough that they know that these new marines are here to replace the old ones (making them a weird long-term army update/rebalance) and draw parallels to Stormcasts, which are pretty unimaginative in their writing, I think people are expecting more of the same and how these new marines will magically shit all over the old ones.

Granted, I'm probably still gonna get some because I do like the new models and I want to try a different colour scheme on SM without stripping down all my old ones. Not sure how I'll fluff them yet, maybe I'll have them be led by an archmagos stand-in for Cawl.
>>
>>53287908
Didn't that tech got dick over several times? Like the last people to have the super marine tech was the Raven Guard and they got fuck up by Alpha Legion?

Side note in the lore Cadia is Ok in the M42 so contradiction within the lore is not uncommon
>>
>>53287287
At a guess - I'd say that transports not exploding and killing everyone inside when they get tapped with anything bigger than a bolter will help a lot.
>>
>>53287903
The latest plastic Zoey kit is obviously the best.

I do appreciate that the upper body on the Maleceptor is a throwback to the classic Zoey silhouette though.

Now if you had said the lictor, then the original would clearly be the best.
>>
Charging from DS without any penalties is pretty fucking great, Termies might not need a LR now
>>
>>53287947
Well there's a drawback inasmuch as you're closest possible charge from DS is 9". Armies like Tyranids will probably get a ton of bonuses and re-rolls to charge range like melee races in AoS, but Terminators are unlikely to do so, they're gonna have to pray for good rolls.
>>
>>53287947
Gotta do a succesfull 9'' charge though.

But it's amazing for terminators that can shoot, I mean you might as well try to get that charge.
>>
>>53287967
I can imagine Land Raiders growing legs to "run" in the movement phase.
>>
>>53287967
Or burn CP for it.
>>
>>53287967
>you're closest possible charge from DS is 9"
>>53287968
>Gotta do a succesfull 9'' charge though.

With the new rules it's actually an 8" charge
>>
>>53287079
like in the last couple editions? Yeah...
>>
>>53287967
To be fair in 2d6 the average is 7" and since charge have an extra 1" the avarge ends being 8"
So 1" shorter from the average does not seem much. Risk around the 47% give or take.
>>
>>53287968
On the bright side, I'm pretty sure you still move forward on a failed charge so they'll be closer when they try again next turn, and TH/SS Termies with 2 Wounds will be a tough nut to crack.
>>
>>53287974
That'll just be the replacement for going flat out.
>>
>>53287758
it's great for both players and gw
we get /our guys/
and people might buy more then they need of a faction to represent the diffrent regiments
>>
>>53287940
Yeah Omegon stuck his dick in the raptor project but the whole point is it shows that marines can be better. It's not one-upping the Emperor because it's been established that he could have made them stronger but chose not to. Cawl has had 10,000 years and an Archmagos' resources to fiddle with Astartes. 10k years is a long goddamn time, plenty for marginal improvements.
>>
>>53287980
No it's 9". You need to set-up MORE THAN 9" away, so rolling a 9-inch charge gets you within that 1" range to be locked.
>>
>>53287871
Why is Biotech not considered fluffy whereas regular technology is? Have you SEEN Archmagi? They don't give a fuck, and it seems to work just as well as boosting armour and guns, so why is that less fluffy than inventing Primaris Armour?
>>
>>53287988
No LR grow legs and punch people with their treads.
Units commit honorable sudoku and let other units to politely retreat from combat for a break.

Noble Bright edition after all
>>
>>53287980
So depending on interpretation 41-27% chance to make the charge.
>>
>>53287983
You're still two away from the average roll, regardless of what the average distance required to get locked on the average roll is.
>>
>>53286957
the way it's been painted is definitely Forgeworld, my guess is it's something for the Hobbit, I guess it could be the Lion but my gut says it isn't.
>>
>>53287980
That;s not how it works, if you don't roll enough for at least one of your models to come into base contact with at least one of theirs, it's a failed charge. If one of them IS close enough, you get a free 3" move on all your guys to try to get within 1" of another model to be able to attack.

You don't just get to add 1 to your charge roll.
>>
>>53288000
Also, why is "one-upping the Emperor" considered some kind of grave fluff heresy? He made mistakes, and quite clearly wasn't all-powerful or omniscient, why couldn't a ten thousand year old scientist with the resources and knowledge of worlds at his fingertips beat him at genecrafting?

>land raiders are now the luggage with fists
>>
>>53288027
They have literally said in the comments on facebook that you get 1" extra on the charge
>>
God damn it China Moot fix this shit so I can upload pics again
>>
>>53288017
1" away

9" is the minimum, you get on average a 7" + 1" charge due to how Melee works now. On average you are 1" short for the Melee charge.

Gamewise speaking you'll make the charge almost half the time.

Would I base my game around half chance? Not really
>>
>>53288027
>if you don't roll enough for at least one of your models to come into base contact with at least one of theirs, it's a failed charge.
Wrong, you don't need base contact at all. You just need the first guy to get within 1".

Thing is, Deep Strike doesn't say you start 9" away, it says MORE THAN 9" away, so you effectively need a 10" charge. But because of that 1" buffer, it goes back down to a 9" charge.

THEN if you make that, you get the additional 3" pile-in.

But charge rolls do all have an effective +1 in this edition.
>>
>>53288028
Because then it's rather strange why nobody created Space Marines and Primarchs in the 29.999 years before the Emperor did it. I mean if a techpriest could do it in 10.000 years, then why has no techpriest done it earlier ? There have been techpriests since the dark age of technology.
>>
I sure hope Land Raiders will have enough impact and be unkillable enough for me to be able to field one in my store's 850 point tournaments with my Templars.

Over 9 inches is the minimum. 9.00001 - 1 = 8.0001 = still need to roll a 9.
>>
>>53288048
Vietnamese moot, he hates Vietnamese girls for some reason the banhammer hits people when posting viet grils
>>
>>53288050
MORE THAN 9" is the minimum. If you are close enough to make the charge by rolling an 8 and getting within 1", you are too close per the Deep Strike rolls and need to back up a hair.
>>
>>53288058
Because Cawl only improved on Space Marines, using research that already existed.

He didn't invent them.
>>
>>53288042
What is the point in having a 1" aggro zone around models? What does it serve when previous base to base contact worked fine? It just makes the charging thing more complicated than it needs to be.
>>
>>53288000
>Cawl has had 10,000 years and an Archmagos' resources to fiddle with Astartes.

How long was the Emperor brainstorming up the Astartes? Because 10,000 years isn't that long of a time period to him.
>>
>>53288069
You need to roll an 8" since that way you will be withing 1" of the enemy.

You don't need base to base contact in 8th in case you miss that news. You need to be within 1" of the enemy to get into combat
>>
>>53288058
>I mean if a techpriest could do it in 10.000 years, then why has no techpriest done it earlier ? There have been techpriests since the dark age of technology.
Cawl didn't just summon Primaris marines out of thin air. He had the Emperor's Astartes as a baseline. The hard part was already done he just tweaked them a little.
>>
>>53288070
Some dude cuck him ?
>>
>>53288081
Well it is a slight buff to charge range.
>>
>>53288081
It doesn't make it complicated at all. It helps for models that lean past the edge of their base like hormagaunts, and it gives a slight buff to melee races which badly need whatever they can get.
>>
>>53288088
No dumbass you'd be 1.001 inches away.
>>
>>53288088
Yes but the rules state that you have to be more than 9'' away so moving 8'' closer means that you are mor than 1'' away.
>>
>>53288088
You're missing the point. The point is you don't start 9 inches away. You start over 9 inches away. That means you need over an 8 to get within 1 inch.
>>
>>53288073
Wait a second what are we bitching about?

I got confused
>>
>>53288094
All asians hate each other.
>>
>>53288110
The deep strike rules. People are getting confused because they don't realize they say "set-up your guys MORE THAN 9" from enemy models" and think it's just a flat 9".
>>
>>53288107
>>53288108
My bad
>>
>>53288113
So that's why they all look like they're squinting...
>>
>>53288098
How does it help models that lean over the edge of their bases? You still measure the actual distance between models from the bases, then you just count them as being 1" closer.
>>
>>53288027

That's AoS stupid, which requires base to base contact

8th edition is going to be within 1"
>>
>>53288131

>>53288067
>I sure hope Land Raiders will have enough impact

Godhammer has 4 S9 AP-3 Dam. D6 Lascannons and 6 S5 AP-1 D1 Heavy Bolters...

Crusader has Rapid Fire 12 bolter shots (Hurricane bolter = 3 TL bolters = 6 per Hurricane) and 8 (assuming) S6 AP-2 Dam. 1 (?) Assault Cannon shots

>Looks like if your Crusaders want to go deus vult on infantry take a godhammer, if they want to go giantkiller take Crusader to round them out.
>>
>>53288120
Which to be fair is reasonable since more than X inches is a dumb moniker to use when nothing else uses it.
>>
>>53288133
Because it's easier to measure from where they actually are than pretend everything is [amount model sticks out the front of the base] closer when measuring which models in the unit are in range to attack.

Of course after pile-in moves this will still be a problem but whatever.

>>
>>53288148
Honestly, Godhammer just seems better in every regard other than transport capacity.

With how hard it'll be to get a wound on Marines with regular bolters now, especially when they're in cover, I don't see Hurricane Bolters reliably killing anything. 2+ armor saves are a bitch.
>>
>>53287896

>>53288232
and how is that??
>>
>>53288223
you buy the kit, you still have to get the model set anyway, so you're spending more money then you should have to
it used to cost 80$ for 10 rubrics, now they're 50$ instead. I wholeheartedly refuse to pay GWs obscene prices for something that should be dirt cheap considering 90% of them are either just weapons or head swaps.

Both wound on 3+, both reduce the save to 4+ (assuming no cover)

Heavy Bolters are for murdering Marinelets

Autocannons are for killing NuMarines
>>
>>53288253
No it's only special rule based cover that becomes a BS modifier, like Smoke Launchers for example.

Terrain based cover becomes an armour modifier.

That's a sergeant.
>>
>>53288133
It means you can have models which physically can't touch bases still be in combat with each other. Because models often project beyond their bases, it's quite possible to have them touching each other while they bases are still some distance apart.

Read 'helps' as 'makes less inconvenient to play' rather than 'gives an advantage to'.
>>
>>53288356
Eldar are already getting infantry that cause mortal wounds before anybody gets to strike in close combat.

>got a source for that
Not directly spelt out, however in the Tau faction focus they gave the profile of the Missile Pods, which currently have the same profile as an Autocannon.

Could I be wrong and GW makes the two weapons more different? Maybe, but overall it makes sense. GW has been sticking fairly close to old weapon profiles

That strikes me as really weird. Banshees were always the ones with power swords focused on killing marines, while Scorpions had Mandiblasters and chainsword to cut down chaff rapidly and heavy armor to withstand the volume of attacks through extended fights.

>>53288481
Or Rubrics, which are bigger.

And we know WE and EC are getting updated soon enough as well.

I doubt it. For all we know the rule is something like, when the Scorpions charge or get charged, roll a dice for each model - each result of 6 deals a Mortal Wound.
>>
So i wonder how many prime marines will be in a normal all prime army. Also i wonder what the new competitive point cost will be.

>>
>>53288504
No it's not, because by definition you know your opponent needs to roll a 9 to make the charge, no ifs ands or buts. They can't fudge it and argue it was close enough because if it was then their Deep Strike deployment was illegal.
>>
>>53288525

>>
>>53288515
What we know:
>5 prime marines are power 6
>5 tactical marines are power 5
>Tactical marines are 13 points per model

Power probably includes some allowance for upgrades. Known upgrades for tactical squad are grav pistol (7 points) and multi-melta (27 points). Based on that, expect five maybe 50 to 70 points of upgrades in a ten man tactical squad, split between the sergeant, the special weapon and the heavy weapon. So power 5 might be about 90-100 points.

This implies that primarines are slightly more than 20 points each. This seems reasonable, since they are slightly more than twice as good as tactical marines with bolters under ideal conditions, but probably more like 70-80% better in practice.

They've confirmed Primaris vehicles.
>Primaris. Fucking. Vehicles.

If they're making a Primaris Rhino, you can bet they'll be Primaris Terminators.

>So far you’ve seen the Intercessors, the line infantry clad in Mk X armour, but there are plenty more on the way. And likely vehicles too…

I just hope we get some Jump Pack double pistol Primaris Marines...

>>53288932
This could be possible, considering Deathwing doesn't field Cataphractii or Tartaros armor either.
>>
>>53288929
Just the heads and the shoulderpads, you know the drill. They will be really fun to kit-bash with other primaris terminator variants!
>>
>>53288929
their heads an shoulder pads probably will be

>>53288892
Too bad tartaros termies are worst looking, still old termies are hideous with stick stanky legs.
>>
>>53288932
Would Dangles even accept Primaris Marines? They seem to be one of the chapters (and all their "sucessor" chapters) that would be against them.

Primaris Rhino is already a thing. It was released two years ago in May alongside the LR Excelsior. They're Command Vehicles, not portends of things to come.

I can't wait for a Primaris crusade to get BTFO by Tau, too.
>>
>>53288944
I'm hoping that'll change (and I'm fairly certain my hopes will be dashed)
>>53288952
I actually quite like them, but maybe it's cause I can't have them
>>53288961
>I have an <insert favourite Chapter> army. Can I field Primaris Space Marines?

>Any of the galaxy’s many hundreds of Codex Chapters can use Primaris Space Marines, along with many of the less Codex-compliant ones like Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Space Wolves.
I guess they do

You'd be satisfied with warp manlets with jump packs?

A: Tartaros look amazing
B: what does Tartaros have to do with Primaris terminators? They're going to get special OC donut steel armor.

That's why I'm happy about what they're doing with the rift.
Different levels of dark on either side of the divide.
>>
>>53288974
Forgot about that. Guess they'll need to find a new stupid name for the Rhinoprime
>>
>>53288972
Tartaros does look kinda ugly and I use Ravenwing Black Knights if I want to sweeping advance a unit.
>>
>>53289008
>Tartaros have to do with Primaris terminators?
Primaris are beefier MK4, logically termies will be tartaros.
>>
>>53288585
About, though I've been looking at their proportions and I reckon a lot of their extra height comes from their huge new feet.
>>
>>53288181
Guardsmen actually got more resilient.

Currently without cover crusader within 12" will mow down 10,07 guardsmen.

In 8th it will kill... 11,55 guardsmen. Well damn. Oh well, atleast the guardsmen can stand a bit better chance against normal bolters now.

It might be tartaros-inspired but it's going to be a new model.

Hmm...Valhallans are all over there, aren't they?
Maybe they could use some help from a retired hero...

It wasn't him. /pol/ was getting too close to the truth regarding the sethrich/DNC/wikileeks shit and (((they))) shut it down while they figure out how to deal with it (literally fucking (((spam filter))) is fucking with me right now). The whole saga is on 4*2chan.

It's a transport that can carry 15 Primaris Marines (three units of five) and can* transform into a Primaris Dreadnought.

*Primaris Dreadnought and Optimus Primaris transport sold separately.

are you not at all anxious that your boys are on the deep shit side? especially when its not a unique GW regiment and a WW2 knock off? the way things are going I can see valhallans getting the axe in the lore along with the models.

>being outright hostile to them wouldn't fit

Why's that, Anon? All the space marines are pretty zealous in their belief of the Emperor, but the Black Templars are on a completely different level. They're the zealots of the already zealous space marines.
